There is a severe peanut allergy in my son's classroom this year. Should I make a big fuss about this seeming discrimination against our favorite nut-based spread?
Nope. When a child's health is in question, we gladly opt for caution. It sometimes takes a life-threatening allergy to have parents and staff on the same page with food.
This peanut allergy has helped me rethink food in our classrooms.
It makes perfect sense to guard against immediate life-threatening conditions. But what about protecting our kids against long-term health conditions?
We have kids in our schools who have a healthy weight, but are at a high risk for developing heart disease and diabetes as adults. We also have kids in our schools who are overweight or obese. These kids are at risk for a variety of health complications and chronic diseases, including heart disease, gallbladder disease, asthma, diabetes and cancer.
The Northeast Colorado Health Department recently reported the children in our part of the state have the highest rate of obesity in Colorado. This report also details that less than 5 percent of our kids eat enough fruits and veggies, the very foods that can help prevent these long-term health conditions.
The schools' cafeteria staffs are working hard to improve the nutrition in the lunchrooms. I applaud them. But I'd love to see food in the classroom follow suit.
In the elementary classroom, there can be more than 20 birthday celebrations a year. If every child in my son's classroom celebrated with cupcakes from Walmart, each child would consume nearly an extra three cups of sugar and 220 grams of fat.
If my son's classroom teacher used candy as a reward, even just one little mint a day, that adds up to nearly two cups of sugar over the year.
Don't forget the treats at the celebrations for Halloween, 50th Day of School, Christmas, 100th Day of School, Valentine's Day, and Dr. Seuss' Birthday.
It all adds up to one big pile of empty calories.
It also hurts the progress they are trying to make in the cafeteria with acceptance of fresh fruits, veggies and whole grains.
My son lucked out with a teacher who is mindful about health. What about your child or grandchild?
Our children spend a majority of their time at school and consume more than half of their daily calories at school. A smart community wouldn't leave this up to chance.
I have spent time with the children in our community on the soccer field, at the library, at church and in the schools. We have an amazing community of children. I want them to enjoy the freedom that comes from a healthy life, free from chronic disease. Let's rally around our kids and create a culture of health in our schools.
Need ideas on where to start making changes? The Morgan County School District Re-3 Wellness Policy is a good place to start.
It might be news to you that we have a wellness policy. Let's dust it off and start implementing it.
This document was first approved by the School Board in 2006 and reinforces that junk food in the classroom is counterproductive to our academic bottom line. Research shows that kids who eat a healthy diet experience better academic performance, miss fewer days of school and have fewer discipline problems. You can find the policy on the school district website, http://morgan.k12.co.us/" title="morgan.k12.co.us">morgan.k12.co.us/.
School administrators, school board members, teachers, and parents: Please be discriminatory about what food comes into our classrooms.
We are happy to keep certain foods out of the classroom to protect one child from a dangerous allergic reaction. Why wouldn't we do the same thing to protect many more children from diseases that will shorten their lives?

Utica 25, Union 16 - Football Final
Utica, NY (9/14/2013) – Utica College junior wide receiver Anthony Acevedo (New Hartford, NY/New Hartford) and quarterback Connor Butkiewicz (Southington, CT/Southington) connected on two consecutive touchdown passes in a span of 2:01 -- the second of which came with 26 seconds left in the first half -- to help spark a 25-16 victory for the Pioneers over visiting Union College at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium Saturday night. Utica improved to 2-0 for the fifth consecutive season as the Pioneer defense racked up nine sacks on the evening to help keep the Union offense at bay.
"Our guys showed a lot of poise in the face of adversity tonight and I am certainly proud of the effort," said Head Coach Blaise Faggiano. "Union has a great tradition and a very good team this year. To be able to pull out the victory and defend our home turf gives us great momentum headed into another tough game on the road against a nationally-ranked program in Hobart next Saturday night."
The Pioneers held a 22-9 advantage late into the fourth quarter until Union's Connor Eck capped a nine-play, 49 yard drive, with a six yard touchdown run to put the Dutchmen within striking distance, 22-16, with 5:19 remaining in the contest. Utica freshman Jerred Beniquez (Port Ewen, NY/Kingston) returned the ensuing kickoff 57 yards before being forced out of bounds at Union's 33 yard line. The Pioneers were unable to take complete advantage of Beniquez's big return, but UC sophomore kicker Thomas Woodburn (West Islip, NY/West Islip) converted on a crucial 34 yard field goal with 2:43 to go in the contest to essentially seal the victory for the Pioneers.
"At the end of the game when we needed it we had a great kick return by Jerred Beniquez (Port Ewen, NY/Kingston) which got us in field goal range. The field goal by Woodburn got us ahead late by two scores and those were big plays," said Faggiano. "We definitely have to give a lot of credit to our punter Dakota Peel (Alden, NY/Alden) as well. We talk about field zones and field position and he flipped the field atleast three times for us tonight."
Peel finished the night with seven punts for 286 yards (40.9 yard average) and he also pinned the Dutchmen inside the 20 yard line twice.
Acevedo capped the day with a team-best eight catches and two touchdowns, while Butkiewicz completed 22-of-41 passes for 237 yards. Senior captain Joseph Gerbino (Mahwah, NJ/Mahwah) caught a career-high six balls for 108 yards for the Pioneers.
"I can't say enough about the job our defense and Coach Will Pluff did in key situations tonight," said Faggiano. "We made the plays when we needed to and came away with the victory. We put pressure on a good quarterback tonight and that's great."
The Pioneers defensive unit recovered two fumbles and also picked off two passes, to go along with nine key sacks. Junior cornerback Rob Alexander (Dobbs Ferry, NY/Dobbs Ferry) recorded a career-high 12 tackles, picked off one pass and broke up another, while senior linebacker Joe Giametta (Seaford, NY/MacArthur) added ten tackles and two sacks for the Pioneer defense. Utica junior linebacker Sean Hulser (Vernon, NY/Notre Dame), who was filling in for injured teammate Dana Christofferson (Richford, NY/Dryden), got the Pioneers on the board with 3:04 to go in the first quarter of play when he returned his first career interception 30 yards for a touchdown to give UC an early 7-0 lead.
Union quarterback Connor Eck completed 24-of-42 passes for 261 yards on the evening, but he also threw two interceptions for the visitors. Eck also carried the load in the ground game as he rushed the ball 24 times and punched in the late fourth quarter touchdown. Joseph Vito led the Union receiving corps with eight catches for 62 yards, while T.J. Franzese made three catches for 72 yards, including a huge 61 touchdown grab to put the Dutchmen on top 9-7 with 5:34 to go in the second quarter.
Union's Joshua Rose totaled a team-high eight tackles for the Dutchmen, while Vito Capuano added seven tackles of his own.
Union totaled 314 yards of total offense on 82 plays compared to the Pioneers 299 yards of offense on 69 plays. Union also won the time of possession battle as the Dutchmen held the ball on offense for 31:49.
Utica senior running back Jake Larson (Bemus Point, NY/Maple Grove) rushed the ball 20 times for 64 yards and became the fourth back in school-history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a career.
Utica junior safety James Lenahan (Mahopac, NY/Mahopac) made seven stops and registered two sacks, including a key sack of Eck for a nine yard loss on fourth down with just 37 seconds left on the game clock. The Pioneer defense came away with three sacks to force a turnover on Union's final possession of the game.
Senior linebacker Ryan Hansen (Woodcliff Lake, NJ/Pascack Hills) made eight tackles and added a sack, while Hulser finished the day with seven tackles, one sack and the interception returned for a touchdown in the first quarter. Ian Lotz (Scranton, PA/West Scranton), Anthony Cipoletti (Dix Hills, NY/Half Hollow Hills West) and Nick Woodman (Utica, NY/Proctor) also recorded a sack for the Pioneer defense. Utica sophomore safety Mike Sullivan (Whitesboro, NY/Whitesboro) registered two pass break-ups in the secondary, while senior defensive linemen Josh Visalli (Deerfield, NY/Whitesboro) and Anthony Cipoletti (Dix Hills, NY/Half Hollow Hills West) each recovered a fumble for UC as well.
Utica is now 3-0 all-time against the Dutchmen.
The Pioneers return to the gridiron next Saturday night when they travel to nationally-ranked No. 7 Hobart College to take on the Statesmen at 7 p.m. Tonight's contest marked the first of the year for Union and the Dutchmen will return to action at home next Saturday when they square off against Ithaca College at 1 p.m.
Quick Hitters: Jake Larson (Bemus Point, NY/Maple Grove) needs five touchdowns to become the College's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns … Senior wide receiver Jamie Murphy (Canadaigua, NY/Marcus Whitman) needs 46 yards receiving to become the seventh receiver in school-history to catch for over 1,000 yards … Murphy needs six more catches to become the sixth player in school-history to catch over 100 balls in a career … Anthony Acevedo (New Hartford, NY/New Hartford) needs four more catches to move into sole possession of third place on the school's all-time receptions list … Acevedo needs one touchdown grab to move into second place on the College's all-time touchdown receptions list … Acevedo now needs two touchdowns to become the fourth player in school-history to score over 100 points in a career.

Women's Recap
Lady Hurricanes lose 76-71 to Armstrong Atlantic
On two separate occasions the Georgia Southwestern women's basketball squad battled back from a 17-point deficit to pull within a single possession only to see Armstrong Atlantic come away with a 76-71 win at the Storm Dome on Wednesday evening.
The Lady Pirates (12-8, 7-6 PBC) won for just the second time in its last eight games, while GSW (6-14, 1-12 PBC) lost its second straight contest. AASU swept the season series from the Lady Hurricanes after taking a 78-60 win over GSW on January 7 in Savannah.
AASU built a 17-point advantage (22-5) over the first ten minutes of the ballgame as the Lady Hurricanes started the night 2-for-9 from the floor with four turnovers and a pair of missed free throws.
After a 23-8 GSW run, Southwestern had pulled to with two points (30-28). However, Armstrong Atlantic would extend their advantage to nine at the break (41-32).
AASU regained a 17-point lead with 16:24 left in the game after a 13-5 run. The Lady Pirates would hold a double-digit advantage for the next ten minutes. Southwestern made one last run at Armstrong Atlantic and eventually cut the lead to three with 55 seconds to go. After the teams exchanged missed shots, Brandi Burris was unable to connect on a three-point basket with 11 seconds left and AASU sealed the victory by connecting on their final four free throw attempts.
GSW was led by Nadirah Gardner's 19 points off the bench, while Burris chipped in 18 points and Brittany Reynolds added 14.
Lindsey Holmes had a game-high 23 points, 21 of which she scored in the first half. Lacey Willis went for 20 points and Kelly Versluis added 12.
AASU enjoyed a 41-26 rebounding edge in the contest - after having been outrebounded by the Lady Hurricanes by 23 in the earlier matchup this season.
The Lady Hurricanes travel to No. 17 Francis Marion on Saturday, February 7, for a 2 p.m. Peach Belt Conference contest.
Men's Recap
No. 15 Armstrong Atlantic defeats GSW, 61-52
Chris Rawls posted his fifth double-double of the season in a losing effort as No. 15-ranked Armstrong Atlantic State defeated GSW 61-52 in a Peach Belt Conference men's basketball matchup on Wednesday evening in the Storm Dome.
The Pirates (16-4, 9-4 PBC) swept the season series from the Hurricanes (8-12, 4-9 PBC), after winning the earlier meeting, 85-68, in Savannah on January 7.
Another slow start doomed the Hurricanes as AASU jumped out to an 11-2 lead in just over five minutes of play. The Pirate lead was eight at the half (39-31).
The closest Southwestern could get was four points (42-38) with 16:44 remaining. Down the stretch it was free throws and rebounds that helped Armstrong hold off the 'Canes. AASU outrebounded GSW, 23-13, in the final 20 minutes and connected on seven more free throws.
While Southwestern posted season-lows in points (52), field goal percentage (35.2) and free throw attempts (14), the Hurricane defense tightened and allowed season-lows in points (61) and opponent field goal percentage (36.2)
GSW was led by Anthony Sargent's 16 points and Rawls' double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Calvin Wilson led the Pirates with 18 points, while also grabbing 14 boards to lead all players for AASU. Dwight Tolbert chipped in 15 points and T.T. Hall added 12.
Southwestern returns to action on Saturday, February 7, with a 4 p.m. Peach Belt Conference contest at Francis Marion.

Cool Ride 2003Posted in Events on December 16, 2003
When we hear about trail closures or new forms of legislation under consideration by groups of unhappy anti-'wheelers, we really start to worry. When our sport comes into question, we're lucky that there are groups and individuals passionate enough to take time out of their busy lives to fight for our right to enjoy four-wheeling on public lands. Jon Fund is one such New England off-road club, founded on the basis of family oriented four-wheeling, education and technical support, environmental, and 4x4 land-related issues.
Jon Fund's 2003 Cool Ride Event was held August 8-10 at Paragon Adventure Park in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. A portion of the proceeds collected were donated to the Save Florida Road Fund started by the North East Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs. The Florida Road is a trail that runs through the Massachusetts towns of Florida and Adams. Public access to this city-owned scenic trail is being threatened, and donations to the fund help with legal efforts, research, surveys, and in time, trail improvements.
Members of Jon Fund set about organizing and planning CoolRide 2003 with the usual intent it directs toward all of its other functions: family oriented fun, action, and adventure. As with past events, the club members couldn't find a more appropriate place to hold CoolRide then at Paragon Adventure Park. The park's 130 miles of trails wind through 15,000 acres of private land, offering adventurous 'wheeling for drivers of all skill levels. The terrain at Paragon alternates between technically challenging boulder-strewn trails and easily navigable logging roads.
Over a three-day period, Paragon's professional guides led participants throughout the expansive trail systems. Out on the trail, the most common statement we heard from the 'wheelers was, "This place is awesome." The event's trail runs were well organized by Jon Fund President Dan Stra and the hard-working club members. All the participants were there to support one another. This is where Jon Fund's education and assistance training comes in; its goal is to also help each member reach new levels of vehicle control and expertise while four-wheeling.
Each night, the participants settled in for a first-class buffet dinner and raffle giveaway at the Best Western conference center in Hazelton. The prizes were donated by the event's sponsors: Randy's Ring & Pinion, Aussie Locker, and Bill Burke's 4-Wheeling America. This is a truly tight-knit group of 'wheelers. On the last day of the event, club member Bob Siwinski destroyed the rear ring-and-pinion on his Jeep Cherokee. Two participants who had won gearsets and lockers in the raffle handed Bob their prizes to help put him back on the trail as quickly as possible. Now that's cool.
Jon Fund is making great progress in its quest to help support responsible care, management, and preservation of recreational land for the benefit of four-wheeling. To preserve the sport, the club has purchased land to be used for responsible four-wheeling. New England landowners interested in working with Jon Fund may contact it on the Web site.
CoolRide is the largest annual event Jon Fund organizes, but the club also holds numerous trail runs and family outings. For each upcoming CoolRide event, Jon Fund plans on supporting a different 4x4 land-related issue in the New England states. If you'd like an issue addressed in your area, visit the Jon Fund Web site.

Did Grandpa's old trunk or Great Uncle Alfred's house yield some sort of old record book from a county or state government? Maybe you have the volume labeled Marriage Record 5. Perhaps your cousin told that they had the original records of the early tax lists for the county. In many states the law prohibits the selling of such items whether online or at an antique shop. Many dealers know that they should contact the state archives or county officials if they come upon such an item.
An article in the Arkansas Times blog tells the story of original tax records from Jefferson County, Arkansas that were being offered on Craig's List for $10,000. Yes, you read that correctly.
Thank goodness someone saw the ad and contacted the proper authorities and the records are being returned to the county.
Read that blog post here.
Some older records that neither the county or state officials deem worth keeping may be ok for you to own. Check with officials. Better safe than sorry or embarrassed. Archivists and others check shops and online auction sites all the time for missing records.

History lesson: Don't try to sell official county records

Twice original marriages records from Kentucky have been offered for sale on eBay. In both cases, they had disappeared over 50 years ago and turned up in an antique shop. They were purchased and returned to the county courthouse. Now, if we could just find the others that are missing.

On Oct.1, the National Corn Growers Association entered a new fiscal year and, subsequently, seated the 2012 Corn Board with Garry Niemeyer of Auburn, Ill., assuming the presidency.
Off the Cob spoke with the new president to explore his views on what lies ahead for corn farmers in 2012, the challenges he expects the board to face, and some of the programs he is excited to see coming to fruition.
Beginning by thanking former and current board officers for their service, Niemeyer noted that 2012 is likely to be a tumultuous year as the government drafts a new farm bill in a climate that values economic austerity.
"I expect to see a turbulent year this next year as our government makes spending cuts and budgetary decisions," he said.
"A long-term, comprehensive solution that reduces federal deficits must be found to help ensure our nation's fiscal integrity and economic strength. With that said, we have a strong organization, and we will be prepared to meet the challenge."
On a brighter note, he went on to remind farmers that new biotech events scheduled for release this year will once again fortify their ability to cope with environmental stressors and produce an abundant crop.
Culture of abundance
"With the advancements and innovation of biotechnology, we have moved from a culture of scarcity to one of abundance," said Niemeyer. "This year alone, we will produce the third largest crop in U.S. history even with possibly the most widespread adverse weather in memory.
"If we would have still been planting 1980 seed varieties, I can't imagine what kind of terrible yield results we would be seeing. We have several new events coming on-line soon, including drought resistance and nitrogen reducing hybrids. This is how we continue to grow our markets and to keep up with increasing demand."
Niemeyer stressed that his highest priority in 2012 will be the drafting of a farm bill that continues to protect growers from loss due to adverse weather, crop disease and volatile markets.
"The foundation of the farm bill's safety net is an effective and affordable crop insurance program," he said.
"However, crop insurance in its current format leaves gaps in farmers' risk management plans. Therefore, we will be working with members of both the House and Senate to develop a more complimentary revenue-based program to fill those gaps."
Noting that the Aggregate Risk and Revenue Management program developed by Senators Brown, Thune, Durbin and Lugar offers a streamlined, simplified option while also improving its overall responsiveness, he went on to explain that he will also place a high priority on passage of the pending trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and Korea.
Finally, Niemeyer commended efforts to improve consumer knowledge on important subjects including ethanol and food production, including the NASCAR partnership and the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance.

The Carthage College football team (1-0, 0-0 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) opened its 2011 season with a come-from-behind, 16-13 win over Carleton College (0-1) on Saturday, Sept. 3 at Laird Stadium in Northfield, Minn.
Following a scoreless opening period, a botched Carleton snap disrupted Eric Murphy's 21-yard field goal attempt with 11:52 to play in the second quarter. The Red Men took over at their own four-yard line, and their drive ended with a short Chris Schulz punt and a 12-yard return to the Carthage 24-yard line. Five plays later, Carleton quarterback Mike Hartwell hooked up with Conor Lynch on a one-yard touchdown pass to put the Knights up, 7-0, at 8:52. Carleton took a 10-0 lead as time ran in the first half on a 20-yard field goal by Murphy. Murphy's kick capped a 12-play, 51-yard drive. Carthage's offense sputtered in the first half, as the Red Men had no first downs, totaled just 16 total yards and were forced to punt six times.
Trevor Beazley (Sr., Kenton, Ohio) started at quarterback and was spelled by T.J. Trepanier (Jr., Winthrop Harbor, Ill./Zion-Benton Township). Pete Djurickovic (Jr., Pleasant Prairie, Wis./Kenosha-Bradford) made his first collegiate appearance at quarterback in the third period, and that seemed to provide the spark that got Carthage moving. The Red Men got on the scoreboard in the third period on a 28-yard field goal by Kurt Krause (Sr., Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove), capping a 14-play, 54-yard drive. On the next Carleton drive, Brad Fortney (Sr., Antioch, Ill./Community) returned an interception 34 yards to the eight-yard line. Djurickovic rushed eight yards for a touchdown on the next play. The two-point conversion failed, and the Red Men trailed, 10-9, at 6:53.
A 28-yard pass from Hartwell to Lynch set up Murphy's second field goal, this one a 21-yarder to extend the Knights' lead to 13-9 as time expired in the third period. The two teams exchanged turnovers early in the fourth quarter. Following a Carthage fumble, cornerback Brian Hipchen (Sr., Arlington Heights, Ill./Hersey) intercepted a Hartwell pass, but the ensuing Red Men drive fizzled out at the Knights' 30-yard line. Carthage took its first lead of the game at 3:53 fourth period on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Djurickovic to Mike Koeneman (Sr., Barrington, Ill./Palatine-Fremd). The scoring strike was set up by 36-yard run by Reggie Miller (So., Downers Grove, Ill./South). Cornerback Marcus Williams (Sr., Lake Villa, Ill./Lakes Community) broke up a Hartwell pass near the goal line at 1:19 to stop Carleton's final drive.
Carthage had 211 total yards, 172 rushing and 39 passing, while Carleton totaled 334 yards, 125 on the ground and 209 in the air. Carthage tailback Reggie Miller rushed for 71 yards on 10 carries, while Marty Dwyer (Sr., Kingston, Ill./Genoa-Kingston) had 49 yards on 15 carries. Carleton totaled 334 yards, 125 on the ground and 209 in the air. Mike Hartwell completed 18-of-30 passes for 209 yards, with Conor Lynch catching four of those for 45 yards.
"We won a football game," said Carthage head coach Tim Rucks, "and you have to be happy about that. I'm not going to use the long bus ride as an excuse for anything. We'll have long trips in the future, and we need to mature-up in that regard. There were no magic words at halftime—we just let the guys play and figure things out in the second half. Pete Djurickovic has that moxie and competitiveness that every coach likes, and I'm glad he's on our side. We needed a jump start in the second half, and he was the guy to do it. I haven't thought about next week's quarterback, but it would hard not to play him. He runs the option game well, and he has the ability to run on his own. We made a lot of big plays, defensively, to keep us in the game. We showed a lot of character on that side of the ball, and this is a good defensive unit. Carleton is well-coached team, but we didn't come to play, offensively, in the first half. We did nothing to keep our defense off the field in that half. We only turned the ball over once, and we were only charged with four penalties, and that was good."
Carthage plays its home-opener on Sept. 10 versus Lakeland College (0-1) in a 7 p.m. game at Art Keller Field.

For some, Gulf County has it all: beautiful beaches, a friendly community and a charming, small-town feel.
For some, Gulf County has it all: beautiful beaches, a friendly community and a charming, small-town feel.
Others feel that the addition of a cultural arts building would be the icing that�s missing from the cake.
A full-time cultural arts building would allow Gulf County to play host to traveling exhibits, local art showcases and evening entertainment including theatre productions or public speaking engagements.
It would also give creative minds a place to converge, meet and share their passions with others.
Former president of the Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition Natalie Shoaf spent years examining this cultural void and regularly sought out ways to fill it. After years of scouting locations and holding conversations, she believes she may have found the right place...but she can�t do it alone.
Shoaf said that there are several opportunities available in downtown Port St. Joe, but a building would need to be rented full-time until it could become self-sustaining and those interested in having such a building in the community will need to help out.
�When people visit Gulf County, they want something to do and something for their kids to do,� said Shoaf. �When I travel, I see cultural things and we need to insert that into our community.�
In 2015, the Forgotten Coast Plein Air paint-out event will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Franklin and Gulf County trade hosting duties each year, and while Franklin is home to the Center for History, Culture and Art, Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka do not have a permanent installation.
Shoaf fears that if there�s nowhere to hold the Plein Air event, it won�t be in Gulf County at all.
For the 2013 Plein Air celebration, George Duren donated a storefront on Reid Avenue and during a week in May, the building was packed to the gills with the art, music and cultural appreciation. Now, that same structure sits dark and empty.
Lorinda Gingell works at the Gulf County Chamber of Commerce, and like Shoaf, sees the benefit of a cultural arts building in Port St. Joe.
�We need a cultural art center in order to move the community into a first-class place to live,� said Gingell. �Lots of people who moved here are retired and never got a chance to appreciate art and would love to get involved.�
Shoaf and Gingell are gauging community interest for such a building, especially from those willing to donate funds, those with experience in fundraisers or area residents who may have ideas for cultural events that would benefit both kids and adults within the community.
�There are people here who have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this stuff,� said Shoaf. �We need them to stand up and help.�
It�s clear that Shoaf and Gingell are passionate about arts and culture awareness within the community, but a step back in time reveals the reason.
Gingell grew up in St. Louis and recalled her elementary school class being taken on field trips to see the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. She said that it gave her such an appreciation for music that she tried to go back on her own time whenever possible.
�Children need the opportunity to be touched by art,� Gingell said �This is an opportunity to give a lasting impression�an opportunity to look to the future and give the whole community a venue that will increase the quality of life and spawn additional art.�
Shoaf said that she and her seven siblings were expected to have an appreciation for art and family outings often included tours of Miami�s museums.
�My passion is the fact that we, as a community, have to look long-term,� said Shoaf. �We can change the world for the community and art is one way to do it.
�We have a choice to make this a fabulous place. Fine arts are a pathway but we need knowledge and money that we don�t have.�
Shoaf and Gingell agreed that they didn�t expect one person to step in and help pay for everything, and said that lots of people with a little bit of money can easily have the same effect.
Shoaf said that the Chamber of Commerce, Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency and the Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition are already on board; the city simply needs a dedicated facility to get the ball rolling.
Members of the community who may be willing to help finance a cultural arts building can contact Shoaf at email@example.com. With enough interest, a meeting will be scheduled to figure out the next step
�A cultural arts building would raise the quality of life here another notch,� said Gingell. �It�s the perfect anchor for downtown.�

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's potential opponents are stepping aside.
Harry Wilson, a Scarsdale businessman considered the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, announced on Facebook Monday that he will not be running for governor, citing family reasons. Cuomo, a Democrat, is running for a third term this year.
Wilson joins Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro and former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who also announced they will not be challenging Cuomo.
"I have been wrestling with two incredibly powerful but, ultimately, competing forces – a deep desire to serve and make NY State a much better place," Wilson, who has four children, said. "And a deep commitment to my family, along with my view that it is very difficult to do both as well as I want to, at the same time. I do not want to miss that time and not be a great father to my daughters, just as my own dad was to me."
Wilson was prepared to spend as much as $10 million of his own money to challenge Cuomo, who has raised $30 million. In 2010, Wilson unsuccessfully ran for State Comptroller.
Erie County Executive Joel Giambra and Assembly Leader Brian Kolb are challenging Cuomo.

There'll be something different about this year's Mid-South Farm & Gin Show: It will follow a season in which growers had that rare combination of excellent crops and good prices.
"We're seeing a lot more optimism," says Tim Price, manager for the 52nd annual show, to be held Feb. 27-28 at the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
"Cotton yields set all-time records in many areas. Ginners had a good year. Yields for other crops were good, too, and higher prices added frosting to the cake. Growers are looking forward to the 2004 season."
The Memphis show, expected to be the biggest ever, offers an excellent opportunity for growers to see firsthand the newest equipment and products, says Price, executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, which stages the event each year. Delta Farm Press is co-sponsor of the show.
More than 400 exhibitors have signed up for the '04 show, which is the largest indoor exhibition of agricultural products, equipment, and services in the Mid-South, and the largest cotton equipment trade show in the nation.
This will mark the second show since the completion of the expansion of the Cook Convention Center, a project that added another 35,000 square feet of exhibit space.
"Before that, we'd had a waiting list of additional exhibitors and companies that wanted to expand their exhibit space," Price says. "Last year, we were able to accommodate them, greatly adding to the scope of the show."
In addition to the exhibit-filled two-day show, the popular Ag Update Seminars will be continued this year.
Two leading authorities on cotton and grain market trends will present their outlooks for 2004.
At the Friday morning seminar, William "Billy" Dunavant, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the nation's largest cotton merchandising firm, and Richard "Dick" Bell, president and chief executive officer of Riceland Foods, will speak in the lobby auditorium of the convention center.
"Billy Dunavant's analysis of the cotton situation is a perennial feature of the show," Price says. "Everyone always looks forward to hearing what he has to say about cotton's prospects.
"Dick Bell has been with us many times, also, and his long experience with markets and government programs helps him provide a unique perspective of the rice, soybean, and wheat markets."
Other speakers for the Friday and Saturday morning seminars will be announced later.
"We hope everyone is making plans to come to Memphis and take part in our big show," Price says
"This will be a great opportunity for Mid-South growers to have some one-on-one time with representatives of these companies, and to get up-to-date information on markets, the outlook for Delta crops, and new developments in the cotton industry." The Southern Cotton Ginners Association and its member organizations will also be holding their annual meetings during the week of the show. They include the Arkansas-Missouri Cotton Ginners Association, the Mississippi Cotton Ginners Association, the Tennessee Cotton Ginners Association, and the Louisiana Cotton Ginners Association.
Most association meetings and events, including an honors reception/banquet, will be held at the historic Peabody Hotel.
The annual meeting of the association will be Thursday, Feb. 26, at 1:30 p.m. at the Peabody. Delta Farm Press will publish the official program for the show, which will be distributed to all subscribers in the Feb.13 issue and to the Alabama circulation of the Feb. 11 Southeast Farm Press. The program will also be available to all show attendees.

The instability of the tobacco business has made many growers gun shy about capital investments. But if you are going to stay in tobacco farming, you need to be prepared to buy the implements needed to produce top yield and quality, says Bill Corbin of Springfield, Tenn.
"You have to spend the money if you want to have a future in tobacco," says Corbin, who grows dark fire-cured, dark air-cured and burley in north central Tennessee near the Kentucky border.
Corbin was one of several tobacco growers who took part in the recent U.S. Tobacco Forum in Myrtle Beach, S.C. From the panelists' presentations and from subsequent interviews, Southeast Farm Press learned that successful tobacco growers are still prepared to commit the resources to buy the labor-saving and quality-increasing machinery that they need.
Larry Barbour of Clayton, N.C., grows flue-cured tobacco with his son and grandson in an area with a great deal of urban spillover. Still, some investments make good sense even in the current situation.
"We bought a leaf loader two years ago. Now, in its second year of use, we are very happy with it," he said. "We are toying with the idea of buying some other new equipment that would give a good payback, but so far we are just maintaining what we have in the condition it should be."
He was very pessimistic about tobacco after the buyout but is now glad he stayed in it
Another farmer-speaker at the Forum, flue-cured grower Jeremy Rhodes of Four Oaks, N.C., didn't even begin growing tobacco until after the buyout.
"Starting tobacco farming from scratch has been very hard," he told Southeast Farm Press. "Since I was new to tobacco, everything has been a new investment."
But there has been one advantage to the situation: So many tobacco growers have been either upgrading or getting out that there has been plenty of used equipment on the market. Rhodes bought eight rack barns the week after the Forum, and like all the other machinery he's purchased, the barns came from local farmers.
"My goal has been to keep capital investments as low as possible, so maybe the return on my investment will be shorter," he said. "The prices I have heard newer barns selling for would be very hard for me to cash flow. I like to let someone else take the first depreciation."
Roger Quarles of Georgetown, Ky., a burley grower, said no investments in infrastructure are planned on his farm right now. But that doesn't mean there won't be any later.
"We could use additional curing space," he said. "So far we have been able to find existing barns to rent, but we sometimes have to go fairly far away to find it." He may eventually invest in barns closer to home.
Faced with the same situation, burley and dark grower Corbin elected to put in a new burley-curing barn in 2008.
"When we have to go farther and farther away from our production sites and stripping area to find barns for rent, it means that larger facilities closer by will recoup their costs sooner," he said. "We are getting more concentrated every year, because we would like to lessen our exposure."
Corbin made another major expenditure earlier this year when he upgraded the building he uses as a stripping facility, putting in more space for workers and improving humidity control.
Still another investment is in the planning stage: Corbin wants to add another greenhouse to the five-million-plant commercial greenhouse operation he runs. He may do it before the end of this year.
More plant production space would bring a faster return on investment than some other purchases he could make, says Corbin. He thinks it is wise right now to put funding into those purchases that will pay back quickest and let others wait.
The farmers at the Forum agreed that the uncertainty about tobacco as a commodity has made it much more difficult to plan for the future.
Dark tobacco growers are still reeling from the cutback in contracts they experienced between 2008 and 2009, said Corbin, who grows two dark types along with some burley.
Thanks to the excise tax increase and the newly imposed FDA regulation, companies are at a huge disadvantage now in predicting their future needs, said Corbin. "The cuts we took in dark tobacco were because of that."
Earlier in July, U.S. flue-cured production was estimated at 467 million pounds by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, down 32 million pounds from 2008. Area to be harvested was projected at 214,500 acres, 9,000 below last year. Yield per acre was forecast at 2,178 pounds, down 61 pounds from a year ago.

Jason Berry discusses his new book, Render Unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church.
Jason Berry's new book, Render Unto Rome, looks at the financial structure of the Catholic Church from the parish level to the Vatican. What happens when a Catholic puts money in the collection plate? What kind of financial reports are offered by diocesan leaders? How big of a problem is embezzlement? Berry, a longtime investigative journalist who first broke the story of the sexual abuse scandal, discusses these issues as well as the recent efforts to sell church property in Boston. He also provides an eye-opening account of the scandal involving the Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri and his ties to Vatican officials.

DailyDirt: Cool New Planes
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Futuristic-looking jet planes used to inspire all kinds of technology geeks, back when commercial flying was a relatively new venture. Over the years, though, the airline industry has matured quite a bit, and commercial plane designs don't really look that unique anymore. But that doesn't mean engineers aren't coming up with novel plane designs. Here are a few cool new planes that could take to the skies in the not too distant future.
- Supersonic planes have a problem of creating a "sonic boom" when they travel faster than the speed of sound, causing all kinds of headaches for commercial and military operations. A new biplane design with twin wings would have a much reduced sonic boom, as each wing could cancel out the effects of the other (at least in theory & simulations). [url]
- NASA is interested in liquified natural gas (LNG) propulsion for creating super fuel efficient airplanes. Planes fueled by LNG won't be ready for at least three generations of airplane technologies (aka N+3 airliners), so don't expect to see any before 2030. [url]
- The first production aircraft to completely satisfy FAA spin resistance standards will likely improve the safety of non-commercial general aviation. Icon Aircraft's A5 amphibious light sport aircraft is a two-seater plane design that greatly reduces the plane's potential to stall out or go into an uncontrollable spin. [url]

Producer alliances are generally developed around a common goal or value. Some are breed specific, some are based on geographic location. Others are the result of participation in a specified health and management program.
When selecting an alliance, find one compatible with your cattle program. If you raise purebred Hereford cattle, for instance, it doesn't pay to get involved with Certified Angus Beef. Setting a target that either your cattle can't reach, or you are unwilling to change your herd to conform to the program's specifications, is a waste of your time and money. Look for a program with a similar endpoint to what your cattle produce. In this case, the Certified Hereford Beef program would be more consistent with your cattle and breeding program and thus is the logical choice.
No Substitute For Direct Contact - The best source of information on alliances is direct contact with the program coordinator. There are many specifics you'll want to consider as you review the various alliances.
* Many alliances have been in existence for less than 10 years. As a result, they don't have much history on which to base your decision. Ask the program coordinator for names and phone numbers of other participants.
* Some programs require a contract or membership for participation. Remember, a good contract will protect both parties in the agreement. A contract outlines a timetable as well as the responsibilities and financial liability of everyone involved.
* Most alliances accept cattle from almost any region of the country. The distance to the participating feedlots may be the factor that prevents you from participating in a specific program.
* Some alliances will require you to place a minimum number of cattle in the program to participate. The minimum number may vary if you want to take advantage of such additional services as feedlot performance and carcass data collection. Usually there's a cost-recovery fee associated with the extra services to collect additional data.
* Some programs require you to retain a percentage of the ownership in the cattle if you want to receive individual animal information.
* Almost all alliances have specifications on the genetic composition or biological type of the cattle that are accepted. A breed alliance, for example, will generally require that the breed represent 50% or more of the genetics in the calf. Many of the programs have identified certain pools of genetics that they will not accept.
* There are also some limitations on carcass size and quality. The target for carcass weight will range between 535 and 950 lbs. depending on the alliance. The range of acceptability for yield grade varies with each program. Most alliances require a yield grade of less than 4 with the majority preferring a grade of 2 or better.
Quality grade, on the other hand, will range from Prime to Select with Choice being the most common grade preferred. The quality grade requirement is strictly a function of the marketing arrangements of the alliance.
Pricing Formulas Are Critical - The most critical area of an alliance agreement for a producer is the pricing formula. You must absolutely do your homework in this area.
Most programs begin with some type of base price. The price is set either from a local cash market, the USDA price or some combination of supply and price from the previous week. The base price is used to establish the initial value of a carcass.
Next, some type of formula or sliding scale is used to determine the final value of each carcass. For each carcass that achieves a predetermined standard for quality grade, yield grade and other factors, the price is adjusted upward (premium) an incremental amount from the base price. Similarly, for each carcass that falls below any of the predetermined marks, the price will be adjusted downward (discount) from the base price.
Once you've determined how the base price is established, you must pay particular attention to the "premium" and "discount" categories. It's quite possible to receive enough discounts on a few non-conforming cattle to offset all the premiums received on a majority of the cattle. Producers who have some estimation of how their cattle will perform in the feedlot as well as on the rail - and can expect a high percentage will qualify for one or more of the premiums - are in the best position in this marketing.
Cattle-Fax has prepared an excellent in-depth report "Alternative Marketing Programs" (January 1997) that provides a detailed discussion on calculating premiums and discounts. To receive a complete copy of the Cattle-Fax report call 303/694-0323. There's a $25 fee for the report.
A Listing Of Alliances - On page 12-13 is a listing of the alliances BEEF could identify currently doing business around the country. However, alliances and cooperative marketing agreements are continually being formed among industry members. Therefore, this list may not contain all the current arrangements. If you have interest in a particular alliance, contact them directly to receive specifics.
Each program's coordinator is listed. Give them a call. They're willing to review their program and help you determine if it's the right one for you and your cattle. Direct contact with the coordinator will also ensure that you receive the most current, accurate information.
Before calling, think about your situation and make a list of questions you want to ask. Remember, the only foolish questions are the ones you DON'T ask.

Favorite NBA team(s)
I dont have any yet.....
But maybe with your help?
I'm a laker fan. I know their are a lot of Kobe haters, but I respect him because he always plays hard no matter what his condition is. Also, I mean the franchise as a whole. When you look at the legends of back then, players like Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, Wilt Chaimberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabar, and "Big Game" James Worthy. They also have 14 championships which is 2 less than their old rivals the celtics. With the Celtics a pretty much dead franchise now, the lakers are my favorite. Also, Kobe had 4.5 assists last year as a SHOOTING guard. Thats pretty average for a shooting guard. Cmon Jason Terry had 3.7 as a point guard and no one calls him a ball hog. I also think Steve Nash is overrated. I mean, I know he can run an offence and get a lot of assists, but when you have a high percentage shooting team, its not that hard. I think the best point guard right now is Allen Iverson because the guy is scoring over 30 points a game and gets 10 assists at the same time. Not to mention the fact that his rookie year he crossed over non other than the legendary MICHAEL JORDAN!!!
Don't believe that online status, I'm always online, but I'm usually not around.
I am a kings fan. .. Don't ask me why. .. that wwas just in my mind. . .I really don't watch alot of NBA but I do love NFL. .. peyton Manning all the way!!!!
Or Not.(seems like I always forget to logout)
I follow Big Ben Wallace wherever he goes i root for but ive been a pistons fan since i was 10 go old school rodman g-hill, Stackhouse and joe dumars. And Arx7 your totally right there are waaayyy to many kobe haters our there the man doesnt have much of a team around him right now with lamar odom and bynum unproven and they have bilwaltos son and he sucks he sucked when he went to Arizona for college. Yea he threw up 81 in a game but this year he only is avg 18 a game but almost 8 asst, come on he came back from injury!, Any other player would probabaly be throwing up shots to try and get their rythm back but hes distributing the ball for the good of his team and no one talks about that!..

You'll never look at a package of food the same way, thanks to requirements now in effect on the nutrition panel found on food packaging.
The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated the changes effective Jan. 1, 2006.
All food labels are now required to clearly state if the products contain any ingredients with protein from the eight major allergenic foods.
Food manufacturers are required to identify in plain English the presence of ingredients that contain protein derived from milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat or soybeans.
The label must list the allergen ingredients or say "contains" followed by the name of the source of the food allergen after or next to the list of ingredients.
"The eight major food allergens account for 90 percent of all documented food allergic reactions, and some reactions may be severe or life-threatening," said Robert E. Brackett, PhD, Director of FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "Consumers will benefit from improved food labels for products that contain food allergens."
The FDA estimates that 2 percent of adults and about 5 percent of infants and young children in the United States suffer from food allergies.
Approximately 30,000 consumers require emergency room treatment and 150 Americans die each year because of allergic reactions to food, according to FDA statistics.
"It's been pretty quiet," said Don Pitt, Manager of Grandview Market Place. "We haven't seen a lot of impact, people buy what they want to buy."
Sunnyside Safeway Manager Ryan Helton said the major impacts will likely be felt at the warehouse level for distribution of foods with the new labels.
Helton said that deli goods made at the Sunnyside store must have new labels printed in keeping with the FDA requirements.
"If there's a computer problem and we're not able to print labels, then we won't have sandwiches that day," he said of complying with the new label rules.
"We just got in a shipment of new stuff," said Rosie Cortez of the Sunnyside Food Pavilion. "Everything is just about normal."
The new FDA label rules also require food packagers to clearly list the amount of trans fat in a product.
The FDA has been working on increasing the amount of information required on nutrition labels since at least 1993.
At that time the FDA required that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol be listed on the food label.
By adding trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel, the FDA says consumers now know for the first time how much of all three-saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol-are in the foods they choose.
The revised label, notes the FDA, will be of particular interest to people concerned about high blood cholesterol and heart disease.
So what is trans fat, and how can you limit the amount of this fat in your diet?
Unlike other fats, the majority of trans fat is formed when liquid oils are made into solid fats like shortening and hard margarine.
Essentially, trans fat is made when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil. Its primary use is to increase the shelf life and maintain the flavor of packaged foods.
A small amount of trans fat is also found naturally, primarily in some animal-based foods.
Research by the FDA shows that trans fat, like saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, raises the LDL (or "bad") cholesterol that increases the risk of heart disease.
On average, according to the FDA, Americans consume four to five times as much saturated fat as trans fat in their diet.
Although saturated fat is the main culprit in raising "bad" cholesterol, trans fat and dietary cholesterol also contribute significantly.
Trans fat can often be found in processed foods, such as crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods and baked goods.
Not only will consumers have more label reading to do, they may still find products that do not reflect the changes now in effect. The new label law does not require food manufacturers or retailers to re-label or remove products from grocery shelves that do not reflect the additional allergen labeling as long as the products were labeled before the effective date.
As a result, the FDA cautions consumers there will be a transition period of unknown length, during which it is likely that some packaged foods on store shelves will not have the revised allergen labeling.
An informal, local grocery survey in the Lower Valley found that pretty much all the national food brands are complying with the new label law.
The main inconsistency found, however, was with individual store brands.
Store brand peanut butter and chicken, for example, reflected the updated information, while some cookies, fruit pies and pudding mixes lacked trans fat information.
"The trans fat information does not have to be on the label if the product entered interstate commerce before Jan. 1," explained Tina Massingill, Manager of Public Affairs for Safeway.
Food companies have the option of seeking up to a 12-month extension in implementing the labels, depending on the distribution of their product and other extenuating circumstances or hardships.
Massingill said Safeway has sought an extension in complying with the new FDA label regulations.
"Since there are a lot of goods still out there shipped before Jan. 1, there will be some existing stock without the new label information," she said.
"Our understanding is that the extension is automatic since the FDA has received so many extension requests and was having a hard time enforcing the law immediately."

by J.L. Sloss
Have you noticed lately that it can be extremely difficult to reach out and touch someone by phone? I wanted to call my local post office. Sounds simple enough … right? Ha! I couldn't find any post offices listed in my ever-shrinking Verizon phone book. No problem. I called information. Ding, ding, ding … "AT&T 411 Info – say a city and state, or say other services." I say the city. I say the state.
The robo voice says, "OK. What listing?" I say, "U. S. Post Office." Immediately I hear, "Alright, please hold for an operator." Nope, maybe I did that wrong. So, I call back – and this time I say, "Other services." I'm offered several "other services" – residential search – buildings – reverse lookup … huh?? So I call 411 one more time and go through the city and state thing all over again, then start the process of being connected to "an operator".
As I sit in the bottomless hold-queue, I hear all about the if-it-fits-it-ships services and how important my call is and that my patience is … so appreciated. Finally help arrives. She can't find the local post office's number either, just a toll-free "800" number. Fine. Ring, ring … automated voice. What a surprise. I was offered a litany of options — but no local post office phone listings. So, if I didn't want to know about postal rates, priority shipping, address changes or stopping my mail to go on vacation … I was out of luck.
At this point I thought it would perhaps be faster to get in my car and drive to the local post office to ask my question. Somehow (and, I truly don't remember how) I got a live person. Ah! Now we're getting somewhere! Not really. The live "representative" proceeded to grill me like a homicide detective on "Law and Order."
Why did I need to call the local post office? What was my current mailing address? Was there some way that she could help me? "No," I said, trying not to sound like I was talking through clenched teeth. "I simply want to know if they have any available postal boxes. I don't think that's information YOU would have."
"Well," she replied haughtily, "if you'd hold for a moment, I'll contact that branch and ask." "Why can't you just give me the number?!" I pleaded. "I may have other questions. Why complicate this?" "One moment … I'll get my supervisor," she said in that all-too-familiar robotic monotone.
Same scenario calling my local bank to speak with Joanne the teller. An "800" number — only number available. Again, an "option smorgasbord" — open an account, get my balance, make a loan payment … Arghhhh! Only after nearly getting carpal tunnel finger from pushing buttons did I finally reach a more-or-less real person. She insisted on knowing my account number, my address, my mother's maiden name … Oh, come on!!!
By this time my brain was in park, my nervous system had begun to short-circuit, and I was teetering between tears and hysterical laughter. By the way, all I wanted to know was if Joanne still wanted to borrow my 'Charlie Chaplin" DVD that we'd talked about when I made a deposit last week.
Why are these people all trying to hide? Is this some kind of "Homeland Security" thing making it impossible to contact these local businesses directly by phone — for fear of … what?! Let me just say that if I were planning on sabotaging a post office or robbing a bank … I wouldn't call ahead!!!
I was told that banks don't list branch phone numbers because "there are too many of them." So I guess that's a cost-saving thing. But what about post offices? As far as we know, the U.S. Postal Service has just one location per zip code — not multiple branches per neighborhood. And if all this telephonic challenge really is for the sake of cost-savings … how come postal rates and bank fees keep going … up?
Ah, technological progress … it provides us with many things … not the least of which are frustration, stress and acid reflux disease. Welcome to the oh-so-complicated future!
