Marilyn (Gould) Knauf '58 and Edward Knaug '57
These stories share how love was nurtured under the oaks.
Who would have thought a blind date to a football game would have grown into a marriage partnership of more than 50 years?
"What makes it even more humorous is that in youthful vanity, I didn't wear my much-needed glasses and we sat in row TT," said Marilyn. The feidl and the players were apparent, but not much else.
Edward and Marilyn have had many adventures together, some great, some not. Through the good times and bad, the necessary components of our long term romance have been love and affection, an extraordinarily good sense of humor, courtesy and respect for each other.
They are very good friends and find something to laugh about every day. They have been fortunate indeed after that first time meeting in September of 1954 at Pacific University.

I Am a Mere Person
Life is sometimes an evanescent state in Ghana. John and I came back to Kumasi in 1974, after we'd been in Ghana for about a year, to find that one of my workers was very sick. I had a crew of men who helped me do a survey of the geology around the city. The man's name was Awuni Frafra, the surname taken from the northern tribe to which he belonged. He was only 22 years old, at least a head taller than the other workers (common for people from the north) and strong and vigorous. Since he was one of the crew who didn't speak any English, I knew him only as a hard worker with a shy smile.
The other workers explained that Awuni was lonely in Kumasi, away from his family for the first time, living in a culture and climate quite different from what he had known at home. He began drinking a lot of akpeteshie (liquor distilled from palm wine) and the previous Sunday had been really drunk. Monday morning he was ill and was excused from work. Throughout the week he became gradually sicker until finally he was discovered in his room having convulsions and paralysed on one side. He was admitted to the University Hospital and his condition had stabilized, although no one seemed to know what was wrong with him.
Then I heard that Awuni's brother had come to Kumasi and removed him from the hospital. I asked whether anything could be done to keep Awuni in the hospital but was told that the family had priority in such a case. Awuni's family believed that there was a doctor near their home who could cure him with native medecines and who, in fact, had cured others with the same illness. The doctors had released Awuni to his brother, who put him on a truck for the rigorous journey over three hundred and fifty miles of bad roads north to Bolgatanga and the family home. There he died.
We will never know what killed Awuni. It may have been bad liquor; it may have been a snake or insect bite, or it may have been disease. We will never know whether or not he could have been saved.
Punctilious in such matters, the Institute made arrangements to send a delegation to Awuni's family to deliver the money owed him. He left an estate consisting of his last month's pay, the money he had paid into the pension fund, and an additional month's pay because he had died while employed by the Institute. Many staff members expressed an interest in going along on the trip, partly, I am sure, because it represented a free vacation.
The leaders of the delegation were all Ashantis, people from our region, including the Administrative Officer of the Institute. He was known as Abban, or "the government" because he was such a good talker! Two relatives of Awuni from Kumasi were offered a ride. From the work crew Mr. Kankam naturally went as the leader of the crew, and Raymond Abuska and Yaban Kussabi were chosen to represent the workers since they were both from the north. I asked if John and I might go and the Institute agreed. It was a very mixed group. In Ghana tribal identity came first, and the country had to deal with some 33 different tribes who had been united in the British Gold Coast by a line drawn on the map. The Ashanti's were from a warlike tribe that had conquered much of the region and who gave the British one of their toughest challenges to conquer. In the north, the tribes were Muslim and had a very different heritage, but they were, like it or not, all part of the country of Ghana, which was trying to create a successful nation.
The group travelled north in an overcrowded Institute truck, watching the rain forest give way to the sparse vegetation of the north. The air became dryer and dryer as we headed toward Awuni's home town. One of Awuni's relatives kept getting sick out the window to the disgust of the Institute staff but mostly they ignored her and luckily for us she was sitting on the other side of the truck. There was much laughter and conversation to pass the time, and several stops for palm wine, fermented from hearts of palm trees and absolutely delicious. We were happy to sample some palm wine, drinking it from calabashes after dropping a small amount on the ground for good luck.
When we reached Bolgatanga, John and I were taken to the government rest house while the others scattered to make their own arrangements for lodging. That night John and I walked into Bolgatanga, a dry dusty city that owes its existence to the fact that it was named the regional capital after independence. Most maps of Ghana published in the rest of the world did not even show it, although it was a thriving city and the largest in the Upper Region. We ate liver kebabs with bread, butter and beer at rickety tables in an open-air bar on the main street. The dry air was very pleasant as the evening shadows brought the temperature down to a comfortable level.
The next morning we were collected by the Institute truck which drove about five miles outside the town on bumpy dirt roads. The countryside was typical savannah: widely-spaced trees rising from expanses of tall grass. We left the truck and walked another half mile on a thin winding path through fields to the compound belonging to Awuni's family. The effects of the rainy season were still apparent in the sporadic patches of greenery and the small streams across which we waded. Huge baobab trees rose here and there above beds of rice, and termite mounds popped up at intervals looking like giant sand castles.
Awuni's family lived in a typical Frafra compound with walls built of dried mud. There were five or six round rooms with low doorways and flat roofs joined together by mud walls, making a circle. Across the middle of the compound stretched another lower wall dividing the family portion from the area where the livestock and stores were kept. There was no sign of anything not produced right there except a few pieces of cloth and the metal heads on the farming implements. It was very neat and looked like it might be quite a comfortable place to live. All the members of the family who were at home greeted us, shaking hands ceremoniously. When our business was explained, messengers were sent to fetch the men who were off working on their farms. The children peered shyly at the two white people who were undoubtedly the first to visit anywhere in the area.
The delegation was ushered to a clearing under a baobab tree next to a field of millet. We were surprised not to be offered the customary drink of water on arrival, but they offered us nothing, perhaps because they had only stream water available and nothing to serve so many people in. Wooden folding chairs and stools were provided and they made a bit of fuss over John and me but we tried to stay in the background and turn the focus of attention toward the Institute officials.
We were joined fairly soon by Awuni's father, a dignified and erect man who looked about ninety but was probably no more than forty or fifty, and the family elders. After a round of greetings a young woman with a baby was brought forward and introduced as Awuni's wife. Since Awuni had never mentioned the existence of a wife and child there was some suspicion among the Institute staff as to the truth of her claim. They thought that perhaps the family had quickly decided that the benefits owed to Awuni might be greater if he left a widow. Since the amount of money was fixed, the Institute representatives didn't bother to argue about her.
The group began a serious discussion. It was all in Frafra since Awuni's family spoke noe of the more common languages. Raymond looked after John and me, translating as much as he could find time to do into English. He was also translating into Twi for the Ashantis who, supercilious in the formal Adinkra cloths (made of fabric stamped with patterns) they were wearing for this ceremony, certainly knew no Frafra. Considering that Raymond's native language was yet another completely different one, we were most impressed with his facility. At one point it was clear that our presence was being explained. The attention of all the men was turned to us with much nodding of heads. They seemed pleased that we had made the journey, feeling that it did honor to Awuni. I made a short speech, which Raymond translated at great length, leaving me wondering exactly what I had said.
Finally, the conversation turned to the determination of the proper recipient of the money and a decision was finally reached. The cash was officially handed to the senior member of the family, who then divided it between Awuni's wife and his father, with the larger sum by far going to his father to help reimburse him for the expenses of the funeral which had been held the week before, and the celebration of his life that would happen a year after his death.
We were parched and hungry sitting in the hot sun trying to understand what was happening. At last some pito arrived, a refreshing alcoholic drink made from fermented millet which is found all over the north, and some roasted peanuts. They may have had to wait until the money changed hands before they could afford any hospitality because the funeral had surely been a heavy expense for them.
The women of the family brought a guinea fowl (a small bird like a chicken), which they presented to the group as a gift, and a calabash holding a half-dozen small guinea fowl eggs which they gave to me, explaining that they were appreciative of our effort in coming so far because of Awuni. We in turn made a contribution of money to Awuni's wife, which was accepted graciously. Before we left we asked to visit the compound. The Institute staff were anxious to be on their way once the business was completed but the family welcomed us for a quick look at their living quarters. Awuni's mother was an incredibly thin lady sitting in the sun before her room. She allowed us to take her picture but most of the others were reluctant to be photographed and we respected their wishes.
After we had returned to Bolgatanga, Raymond told us that the amount of money delivered to the family should have been one hundred and sixty cedis but that the officials had kept thirty cedis for themselves, rightly assuming that the family would never know. We were shocked. I asked Raymond if he had been given a share of the money and he replied, "Oh, no," adding as in explanation, "I am a mere person." Only those of importance had the authority to steal money, although I don't believe Raymond would have taken it in any case. He tried to reassure us, saying "God will know."
John and I talked about the matter for a long time. We decided to say nothing. We could have caused a scandal back at the Institute but that would have eliminated my value as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and probably would not have seen the money restored to Awuni's family.
In spite of the negative note at the end, we felt fortunate to have had this experience that took us deep into the heart of the country where we were so grateful to be living. Our visit to Awuni's family showed us the very poorest side of Ghana, where people who were barely managing to survive, at the mercy of the climate, illness and the greed of others, welcomed us and appreciated our presence.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Cowboy wrestlers Alex Dieringer and Austin Marsden became Junior World Team members for the second year in row on Sunday at the 2013 FILA Junior World Team Trials, held at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The pair advances to the Junior World Championships on Aug. 13-18 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"I got really excited after Marsden's final match because we were on the team together last year," Dieringer said. "It's awesome to have someone you're close with to make the team and experience everything with."
Dieringer flew through the 74 kilo challenge bracket, picking up three technical falls to earn a spot in the finals. He finished the job in a best-of-three series against Dylan Palacio, who earned an automatic bid to the finals, with scores of 7-3 and 10-3, respectively.
"It was great wrestling in front of these fans," Dieringer said. "It made me work harder. I have a lot of confidence now after getting third at NCAAs and I want to carry that over into freestyle."
Marsden was just as explosive as he won his first match of the day in just 16 seconds with a five-point throw to end the match. He continued with two technical falls to finish off the 120 kg challenge bracket to move onto the finals. He wasn't slowed down as he pinned Adam Coon in the first championship bout and followed it with a 10-3 technical fall to earn his spot on the World team.
"I'd probably give my performance a seven or eight," Marsden said. "I feel like I could've been a little more offensive, but everything worked out. I think my shots were good and my counters were good."

CARY — In 1968, a group of volunteers got together and formed a kindergarten program to help prepare students for school.
Bessie Baker, Jeanette Evans, Nancy McNitt and Becky Swanson were among them. Forty-five years later, they're still making a difference in Cary.
Now in their 70s and 80s, the four women volunteer with Dorcas Ministries, a Cary charity that provides help to needy families and operates a thrift shop.
The Wake County Board of Commissioners recognized the women this month for their volunteer service.
The group originally formed as Christian Community in Action, and the kindergarten program welcomed black and white children during a time when schools were still trying to figure out how to be desegregated.
Through that program, volunteers saw there was plenty of need in western Wake County.
"There were people in my community who really needed clothes, sometimes needed food," said Baker, 79, who lived in the historically black Shiloh community in Morrisville.
She drove children, including her own young daughter, to and from the kindergarten program.
Evans' daughter nominated the women for the county award and dubbed them Cary's "Golden Girls."
But for these women, it's always been about helping their community.
"I just love to do this kind of work," said Evans, 83, who served as the manager of the Dorcas thrift shop for years and now runs the cash register there one day a week. "Anything I can do to help someone else."
McNitt, 75, volunteers as a counselor, connecting local families to services they need.
"As a Christian, it's a place I can practice my faith," she said. "It just seems a match for me, to this day."
The women have been part of Dorcas Ministries' growth over the years. The thrift shop has moved seven times since it opened in 1972, outgrowing each location. In October 2011, the group moved to a larger space off of High House Road.
The kindergarten classes closed years ago, when the public school system started offering its own program. But Dorcas still helps some families pay for day care, and it also helps 4- and 5-year-olds get into preschool programs.
Swanson said she is most proud that the program has adapted over the years to meet the area's changing needs.
"It took many, many volunteers from many churches to run this," she said.
Now, instead of offering families one-time help with food or utility bills, McNitt said, the program forms lasting relationships.
Volunteers keep Dorcas Ministries going strong, said Executive Director Howard Manning. Without them, he said, "We'd have to close the doors."
The group has about 320 volunteers, and about 30 churches take part in the program, Manning said.
The four women may not spend as much time as they used to at Dorcas Ministries. Years and life have had a way of slowing things down.
But once a week or so, each of them drives to the organization's headquarters, where they price items for the thrift shop and talk to people who are struggling to make ends meet.
"I think all four of us ... feel we represent many people," McNitt said. "There are still people from '68 who volunteer here."
Swanson echoed that sentiment. "We represent a wonderful, devoted group of volunteers."

Charlotte Street, London
Need help again CH friends - meeting out of town friends in town tomorrow near Oxford Circus. The Heights at the George Hotel which is a well-kept secret of a bar - great views and away from the pubs of central London (and right next door to BH and HWH which the BBC colleagues on the board who I've never met will know!)
I'm thinking Charlotte Street but where? Thought Rasa Samudra but the London Eating reviews are diabolical - the last time I was there was 2001 and it impressed some visiting Canadians. BTW I completely rate the original vegetarian Rasa in Stoke Newington and have eaten there countless times but not in the last couple years - just that I moved out of that area and one doesn't really find oneself in Stoke Newington by accident....
So - walking distance from Broadcasting House. Not too crazy - need to catch up on 9 years of news. Y'know - mid-price - don't want to frighten the Americans too much!!
I'd recommend Koba, it's pretty good Korean. There might be some Japanese mixed into it somehow, but I'm not too sure. Just off Charlotte Street, on Rathbone Street.(?)
re: Kay315
re: jonY
Finally tried Koba after a long time reading recommendations here. It is really quite good, possibly the best Korean place we have tried here. Began with pork belly and kim chi, rolled up into cabbage leaves, and a scallion and seafood pancake. Continued with some barbecued salmon and octopus and a kim chi bi bim bap. All well prepared and importantly for us, they are not stingy with the kim chi.
Roka is delicious, just off Charlotte Street, but is very pricey.
You know what I would do, though? I work right near Broadcasting House and you are very very near Soho there. I'd take them to Dehesa, a very delicious and stylish tapas bar just off Carnaby Street - it's a 10 minute walk if you're ambling. And they take bookings!
re: sunclytie
Dehesa's older sibling, Salt Yard, is close to Charlotte Street. Have only been to Salt Yard a long while ago, which I quite liked. Love to hear a comparison between the 2 places; are they indistinguishable foodwise?
Salt Yard
54 Goodge St, Camden Town, Greater London W1T 4, GB
re: limster
I'd forgotten about Salt Yard - I went there a couple of years ago b/c I usually go to Dehesa. They're pretty similar - my impression was the food is more polished at Dehesa, but Salt Yard was very good. There's a new sibling restaurant in Covent Garden - The Opera Tavern I think? Or something like that? Haven't been yet.

ATHENS, Ohio (WSAZ) -- The City of Athens is asking residents to conserve water following a "major" break to a water transmission line and several smaller distribution lines.
The Engineering and Public Works Department says the break happened Monday on North Congress Street.
Crews will be draining the city reservoir at Highland Park to a low level as part the repair effort. As a result, they say some customers in the Uptown area may experience water shortages or outages Tuesday.
The break forced the Athens County Courthouse and Annex to close. Athens City Schools will be releasing middle and high schools at 12:30 p.m.; elementary students at 1:30 p.m.
Ohio University also sent out an alert notifying students and staff that facilities could experience low water pressure.
A boil order has also been issued for the following streets: Pine Place, Fremont Avenue, West Carpenter Street, First Street, and Walker Street.
Officials don't know when repairs will be completed.

The city of Princeton is now closer to eradicating flooding on Stafford Drive following a $250,000 donation from the Hugh I. Shott Jr., Foundation.
Buzz Wilkinson, president of the Shott Foundation, presented the funds to Mayor Patricia "Pat" Wilson at the Princeton City Council meeting this evening.
"We do so appreciate you all, your interest in your town and everything you have done for us," Wilson said.
Wilson said the city had not applied for the money, but that the Shott Foundation had granted it due to the need for financing the flood proofing project.

RICHLANDS, Va. —
By BRIAN WOODSON
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
RICHLANDS, Va. — Eight wasn't enough for Richlands.
In the final season of the Southwest District, the Blue Tornado continued its dominance, defeating Tazewell 65-33 on Saturday afternoon at Ernie Hicks Stadium/Emats Field to claim its ninth straight SWD championship.
"I will smile on that one, the ninth one was nice," Richlands head coach Greg Mance said. "It is hard to win nine games in a season, much less win nine consecutive Southwest District championships.
"That is a credit to our program, to our assistant coaches and these players. They bust their hind end year round and take a lot of pride in wearing that jersey so winning nine in a row is really special."
Richlands (9-1, 4-0), which hasn't lost a SWD game since 2007, scored 41 points straight points after falling behind 7-0, and finished with 543 yards, nine touchdowns and a field goal.
Tazewell (2-8, 2-2), which had won two in a row after snapping an 18-game losing streak, came in confident, but Blue Tornado junior linebacker Frank Taylor said his team felt much the same.
"We knew they were hot coming in here and we weren't going to underestimate them at all because if you underestimate an opponent you will lose," Taylor said.
That wasn't a problem in this one, which was an emotional contest with a several personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct calls, including the ejection of Richlands receiver A.J. Johnson, who had been accessed a personal foul earlier and later apparently blew a kiss to the Tazewell crowd during a play along the Bulldogs' sideline.
Johnson, who had three catches for 124 yards and two touchdowns, is expected to miss at least one game because of the infraction.
"It is unfortunate it happened, it is really going to hurt our football team, but these kids have been resilient all year long," Mance said. "They have bounced back and found a way to win and we will have to work hard the next two weeks and find a way to get through this first one."
That 'first one' is the playoffs. Richlands earned the top seed in the Region IV, Division 3 postseason and will play either Abingdon or Cave Spring in two weeks. Surprisingly, Tazewell will also keep playing, having earned the final playoff slot, and will travel next Friday to Marion.
"Once we get to the playoffs it is 0-0, it is a new season," Tazewell head coach Shane Allen said. "With the way we came on in the second half of the season, we're learning, we're taking baby steps, we have a long ways to go, but I was thinking maybe we can get in the playoffs and make a good run."
While Richlands ran for 301 yards — including 211 (and two touchdowns) by Colton Staten — the Blues also took to the air, with Ben Brown throwing for 242 yards and five touchdowns.
Brown, who is the sole starter now that Gray Baker is out with a knee injury, was right on target with all of his 10 completions on this day, including scoring passes for 11 and 16 yards to Todd McGlothlin, 29 and 39 yards to Johnson, and another 3 yards to Eric Johnson.
"I have been concentrating on that a lot the last two weeks, just working on my mechanics and trying to get better," Brown said. "I was upset for (Gray Baker) having to miss the rest of the year. I felt bad for him, I knew I had to step up and get ready to go."
Tazewell jumped on the board early, when Cody McCann threw long to Jalen Jordan, who came down a jump ball and ran the rest of the 79 yards for the 7-0 lead 54 seconds into the game.
McCann threw for 176 yards and three touchdowns, with Jordan catching three passes for 158 yards and scores of 79 and 69 yards. The Bulldogs struggled to run the ball, gaining 137 yards, most of which came on long touchdown runs in the second half by Carter Rasnick (65) and John Absher.
"We knew Tazewell was going to throw it up," Mance said. "We practiced it all week and Jordan and the (Jessee) Mountain kid are outstanding receivers and McCann puts it out there where they can go get it..."
Richlands answered that score with 21 first quarter points and 20 more in the second. The Blues continued to get good field position, taking over at the Bulldogs' 40, 39, 27 and 11 in the opening half.
Tazewell turned the ball over three times, twice on fumbles recovered by Eric Johnson and once on an interception by A.J. Johnson.
"I think the atmosphere got to us a little bit, the kids had a great week of practice and I think we got here to a changing of venue and playing on a Saturday and playing for a district title," Allen said. "I think that got to us a little bit, but it just comes down to blocking and tackling and covering.
"We didn't do those things well, we had some big plays early, but we didn't execute the way we should be."
Richlands continued to score, tallying 41 unanswered points to build a 41-7 lead with 2:30 left in the first half.
"We knew we had to get on them early and not give them any hope so they laid down after that," Brown said. "Our defense stepped up big and had some big stops and we just take advantage of those situations."
Tazewell finally scored again on another long pass by McCann that Jordan caught and then ran 69 yards. After recovering the ensuing onside kick, Tazewell drove it again, with Rasnick catching a short pass and going 11 yards for another touchdown, narrowing the margin to 41-19 at the break.
"They have got a great program and they did a great job of taking away the running game and make us one-dimensional," Allen said. "We still made some plays, we scored enough points in the first half to be in the ball game, we just gave up too many big plays."
Both teams struggled with penalties, combining for 23 infractions for 232 yards. Nineteen of those calls came in the opening half.
"We played our hearts out, they put up some points in the air, but we just kept the ground game to a minimum if we could," Taylor said. "If we clean up penalties we are going to be okay and we are going to work hard coming into the playoffs."
Richlands outscored Tazewell 24-14 after the break. McGlothlin, who finished with four receptions for 81 yards, finished with two touchdowns, as did Staten, A.J. Johnson and Eric Johnson. Chandler Click added a 13-yard touchdown run and Brown had a 29-yard field goal and eight extra point conversion kicks.
The Bulldogs will travel to Marion on Friday to face the Scarlet Hurricane in Tazewell's first playoff berth since 2009. Tazewell lost an earlier meeting this season 38-18.
"I said that from day one, these are great kids and we are talented, we just have to learn the mental part of the game of come out and treating every practice and every play as if it is the most important game and just deciding when to go," Allen said. "I think they are starting to realize that.
"We got that win a couple of weeks ago and then got another one, These kids have been through so much, they have worked their butts off and I can't be more proud of these kids. They never gave up, they kept fighting no matter what, they fought to the end."
Richlands had an early exit from the playoffs last season, losing in the regional finals to Cave Spring. Taylor didn't play much in that game, but he certainly hasn't forgotten about it.
"Just looking out there and being so sad that the season was over and seeing our seniors hang their heads," Taylor said. "We have that in our gut and we remember that feeling.
"We do not want it again so we are going to work as hard as we can to make it further and do better and reach our potential for this season."

Should You Consider Buying a Baby Heartbeat Monitor?
The decision whether or not to use a baby heart beat monitor during a pregnancy is a purely personal one. Some parents love the idea of this extra connection with their unborn child, getting to hear their little heartbeats on a regular basis long before they ever meet them.
Baby heartbeat monitors for home use have been around for several years now and the newest models are easier to use and cheaper than their predecessors. Ease of use is very important because some parents using baby heartbeat monitors have worked themselves in a panic because they could not hear the baby's heartbeat when using their monitors.

Bucs offensive coordinator Greg Olson met with the local media Thursday and discussed the offense and some of the struggles they have faced in 2011. Despite a disappointing season, Olson feels the Buccaneers can rebound being led by QB Josh Freeman.
When a team is mired in a nine-game losing streak it's not only the head coach, but also the assistants, that end up feeling the heat. That's the way it is for Buccaneers offensive coordinator Greg Olson. Frustrated fans have been nearly as vocal for Olson's dismissal as they have for head coach Raheem Morris'.
Where the blame falls for the 21st ranked offense and a 4-11 season is debatable but Olson keeps plugging along and thinks Tampa Bay will be better next season despite the regression of key contributors like Mike Williams, LeGarrette Blount and particularly Josh Freeman.
"He [Freeman] is a tremendous talent," Olson said. "You've got to understand certainly the numbers this year indicate that it's not the season that any of us expected of him or thought that he would produce this year. I will say that he had one year and offseason with this particular system. It obviously hurt the entire team and it did every team in the NFL not having an offseason, but I think with this particular group of players they will get better and he will get better. I think it will be a great learning opportunity for him to go back and have an offseason and look at the mistakes that were made throughout the season. He's a tremendous talent [and] a tremendous worker. He will learn from this season. He will get better."
While Freeman has been banged up this year (thumb sprain, thumb cut and shoulder) Olson didn't want to necessarily use that as an excuse. He did indicate it may have factored in, though.
"Not overall, but then again it's the NFL and everyone deals with an injury. But he has had his share," Olson said. "He had his share obviously this year with the thumb at first [and] then the shoulder. That's part of the NFL and you know he played through it. Obviously he is very tough. He had the broken thumb a year ago as his first year as a starter. He has dealt with pain and he will learn to deal with the injuries. He will get better. I don't have any doubts that Josh Freeman with be the quarterback here in the future for a long time."

Cadillac SRX Lease Questions
Hi chicagopjp. Ally's January base lease rare and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac SRX Performance AWD with 10,000 miles per year are 2.1% and 59%.
As far as cash incentives go, in addition to the $1,000 that you mentioned there is a $500 cash incentive on leases of this vehicle through Ally.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
texascaddyguy Posts: 1Car man or anyone else who has access... please help! What are the current money factors and residuals for this vehicle? I think that the dealership I'm working with uses US Bank and Ally.
Thank you!
2013 FWD SRX Performance Package
Negotiated Price: TBD
Residual Value: ?
Money Factor: ?
I'm in Texas so hopefully I can help. The dealership probably has three options to provide for you (Ally/US Bank/GM Financial)... as mentioned before US Bank's program does have a disposition fee of $395 that Ally and GMF do not have.
The residual and money factor can vary depending on the term and mileage you are using... here are some examples (with accurate information):
36 Month Ally Lease @ 15k per Year: 2.1% with 56% Residual
36 Month USB Lease @ 15k per Year: 1.92% with 56% Residual
36 Month USB Lease @ 15k per Year: 4.85% with 56% Residual
***Moving to 12k per year would bump all three residuals by 2% (making 58%).
48 Month Ally Lease @ 15k per Year: 3.2% with 47% Residual
48 Month USB Lease @ 15k per Year: 2.28% with 47% Residual
48 Month USB Lease @ 15k per Year: 6.77% with 47% Residual
***Moving to 12k per year would bump all three residuals by 3% (making 50%).
From what I have seen all of the infomation on this forum seems to be pretty accurate so I think you will be able to find some good answers. The current programs goes through the end of February. If you need more specifics on residuals post what terms your are looking for.
descartes2013 Posts: 2Can anyone help me I'm going to lease a Cadillac SRX 2013 AWD Premium around the beginning of March, but I do not know if this is a good deal:
$5300.00 Down
$551.42/ month after taxes on approved credit
$6331.88 Down
$521.00/ month after taxes on approved credit
Does anyone know what Cadillac considers "Good credit", or just in general, the score it takes to lease this vehicle?
Pros, and Cons for Co-signing with my girldfriend?
I'd appreciate any, and all help.
Thank you.
reshq Posts: 1I am looking at leasing the Premium 2WD SRX with the driver assist package
0 down
36 months lease
15K miles/year
As of now, the best quote that I have is:
Selling Price $48,985
Rebates $2,000
Drive Off $1,283
Residual 56%
Tax 8%
Monthly Payment = $639 after taxes.
Is this a good price? I haven't started my negotiations as yet. What can I negotiate it to?
Thank you for your help.
Here you go! I hope this helps... let me know what other questions you may have:
SRX Luxury FWD @ 36 Mo & 10k Per Year
Ally Bank: 2.10% & 59% Residual & $500 Rebate
US Bank: 1.92% & 59% Residual & $500 Rebate
Both of these banks have a minimal rate mark-up of (1.2%) so if you see a rate higher than this it is has likely been slightly marked up (no big deal, just ask).
There is also a $1000 Cadillac loyalty OR a $1000 Mailer that you may qualify for.
What other questions do you have?
bossman141 Posts: 53You should NEVER EVER put down any money on a lease. If the car gets stolen or totaled, you're out the $. Put the $ in a bank account and pay the higher monthly payment.
BTW, if you were to put a down payment of that size, your payment should be significantly less that the two quotes you posted.
Run, don't walk from those offers.
Hi cb85215. Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac SRX with 12,000 miles per year are 2.1% and 56%.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year is 1% higher.
GM is currently providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this truck in all areas and some additional regional cash on top of that.

The Orange Leader
A man with strong ties to his community and a penchant for helping others has been selected as the Citizen of the Year.
The Honorable Jimmie Scales, associate judge for the Bridge City Municipal Court for more than 17 years, will be recognized as the 2012 Citizen of the Year at the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce's Taste of the Bayou Annual Banquet at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 14, inside the Bridge City Community Center. Tickets are $15 per person or $125 per table. Call the chamber at 409-735-5671 for ticket info.
Scales, a graduate of Bridge City High School and a lifelong resident of Bridge City, was very humbled by the award.
"You never expect this, but it is very gratifying," Scales said in a telephone interview. "I was very surprised when I received the call about being chosen as the Citizen of the Year. It does mean a lot to me because Bridge City is home."
Scales, the oldest of eight children, said he and his siblings were raised to help people and to give back to others.
"We've all been on boards of some kind, whether it was for school, the city, county or even the library," Scales added with a slight laugh. "You always wish you could do more, but you do what you can with what you got. I just try to help people when I can."

Bronte Birthplace at Thornton sold in private sale
7:00am Friday 22nd February 2013 in Bradford By Jim Greenhalf, T&A Reporter
The saga of the Bronte birthplace in Bradford looks to be over – at least for the time being.
The double-fronted house at 72/74 Market Street, Thornton, in which Anne, Branwell, Charlotte and Emily Bronte were born and raised between 1815 and 1820 before the family moved to Haworth, has been sold to a private buyer for £120,000.
The Bronte Birthplace Trust, which met last night, had wanted to acquire the house and convert it into a Bronte museum, a tourist attraction as it used to be, to help regenerate the village.
But, as revealed in the Telegraph & Argus earlier this week, its plan took a body blow after Bradford Council's leadership declined to purchase the terraced house on behalf of the trust.
Councillor Andrew Thornton, who holds the portfolio for environment, sport and sustainability, said that at a time of Government cuts the Council was not satisfied this was a justifiable use of public money.
The trust's chairman Steve Stanworth said of the sale of the property: "This has come as a shock, hot on the heels of the news Bradford Council felt unable to help us to save the property for the community and Bronte lovers worldwide.
"We are extremely disappointed and disgusted with the Council's attitude. The trust feels we need to continue in our quest to buy the property and appeal to Bronte lovers everywhere to help us raise funds.
"We need money to prepare a business case for the future purchase. It was felt keenly by the group that we need to remain focussed and although the house is now sold we need to be in a stronger position should it appear on the market again."
The sale was completed by Beverley Smith for Whitneys estate agents in Clayton.
Mrs Smith, a Thornton resident herself, said: "Because this property was a repossession we have got to get as much for it as possible. Contracts have been exchanged and keys handed over.
"It's been bought by a couple, not a company. I am sure they will be sympathetic to the Bronte sisters because of conversations I had with them."

The Brontes are a global brand and should be promoted intelligently. £120k is a fraction of the cost of the city park (the big wet thing in front of City Hall) and enhancing Bronte pilgimage would do much more to raise Bradford's profile.
At City Hall our elected leaders lack vision and our paid officials lack understanding. People who do have vision are regularly kicked where it hurts. Until the people at City Hall are changed, Bradford is doomed..

As a ratepayer, I'm pleased that the council sensibly did not buy the Bronte house. The council have much more inportant services to protect using scarce ratpayer's money. After all the house will still be there and lived in by people who will look after it...it's not as though it was being demolished!

Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. —
After taking a direct hit by the now record-breaking, killer tornado, Oklahoma City West Livestock Market has been offered a soft place to land and get back on its feet.
Beginning this Friday, owner of Woodward Livestock Auction Jerry Nine has extended a hand and his entire facility to OKC West as the auction location for customers of OKC West until they can get back up and running.
According to OKC West manager, Bill Barnhart, Nine's offer is a testament to a level of dedication to others he has rarely seen.
" Jerry, uh wow, he has gone above and beyond more than any other person I know would go," Barnhart said. "Him taking us in and letting us send our customers who need to sell cattle is just, well, he has just been a prince of a guy to work with - you guys in Woodward are so lucky to have him."
It is unknown how long it might take for OKC West to get back up and running. Damage there included severe damage to the main livestock auction building.
But for the foreseeable future, the Woodward auction will take on those cattle, sort them, sell them and return those sales commissions right back to OKC West, said Gina Francis, veteran office manager with Woodward Livestock Auction.
If you ask Nine, he'll just shrug off any praise for his kindness.
"I just thought it was the thing to do," he said.
Those OKC West customers who need to sell cattle should call Woodward Livestock Auction and a note that they are OKC West customers will be made on the order to keep the two businesses separated.
Speaking of cattle and markets, it appears feeder steers and heifers are not only holding their price but are coming in $3 to $6 higher this week, according to the Drovers Oklahoma Weekly Cattle Narrative.
According to Nine, the weather played an important role in driving down the feeder market early this year.
With a drought that has drawn on longer than anyone thought, producers have not been able to keep stockers on grass and wheat as long, Nine said. As a result, producers have sold stockers quicker than they would have liked and that sell off pressure reduced the feeder market.
The apparent strength on Friday may signal a resurgence of confidence in the futures, which ran on Friday, Nine said.
"I don't know what drove it really," Nine said. "Maybe people know they are in shorter numbers, then maybe they just let them (feeders) get cheaper than they should have."
That sentiment was mirrored by Cattleman's Choice Feedyard owner Dale Moore. Moore said the feeder market is also being affected by the price of corn as well as larger corporate feedyards who are trying to make a small profit or even break even.
"Corn is gold. It means corporate yards get a little more aggressive when they can make $10.00 ," Moore said. "If you look at the feeder market in the last 60 days, it will be up $5 to down $5 weekly. Buyers sit on their hands till they (feeders) get low enough to fill the order, so they drive it down to a small profit. Then, everyone wants the same one and they drive it up till it's a small loss then we all start over again."
Moore said the reaction of buyers right now is driven by low numbers of available feeder cattle to buy.
"Supplies are tight enough where they jump when they can buy, but stop as soon as they hit the losers."
While drought conditions have played an ominous role over the last two years for cattle owners, especially those west of Woodward in the Slapout, Laverne and Beaver areas, cattle prices have not suffered as much as they could have, Nine said.
"We had rain over east and in some of the surrounding areas and that, really, was our salvation," Nine said. "If it had been dry all around us too, we'd have had nowhere to go with them. We'd a been selling them for what the packer would pay."
With the first appreciable rain in western Oklahoma and the panhandle in the last two days, Nine said some producers might be able to keep cows herds in tact and retain their stockers.
"It will definietely help people," he said.
Woodward Livestock Auction will be closed the whole week of July 4. That includes the sale on July 2 and July 5. The sale will resume normal sales the following week.

Times West Virginian
A revived Virginia Tech basketball program invades the Coliseum for an important 4 p.m. battle with West Virginia University today, and if coach Bob Huggins has his way, it won't be for the last time.
The teams, long-time rivals that go back to Huggins' playing days, are operating under a two-year agreement after the series ended when Virginia Tech left the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"I'm all for the series being extended," Huggins said. "I can't speak for them. We played for 50-some consecutive years, then stopped playing."
This, of course, is a transitory time at WVU as the team has moved from the Big East to the Big 12.
"I don't know why we don't continue to play Pitt and why we don't play Virginia Tech. Why don't we play the people we played all these years and have such great tradition with?" Huggins said. "The place is sold out tomorrow."
And it's sold out for a reason. WVU comes in off a hotly contested victory over Marshall that almost erupted into a free-for-all, while Virginia Tech comes in unbeaten at 7-0 and ranked as the No. 3 scoring offense in the country.
That, of course, sets up the timeless offense vs. defense setup, Virginia Tech averaging 86.1 points a game and led by Erick Green, a guard who also is third in the country in scoring at 24.9 points a game.
WVU gives up an average of 66 points a game, so something has to give.
When someone asked Huggins what he does when he runs into a high-powered offense like the Hokies, his answer was revealing.
"Honestly, you could ask them what they do when they run into a team that guards like we guard," he said. "I think we will do a better job of guarding them than anyone else they've played. If we don't we're in trouble, but I think we'll do the job."
In truth, this is the way Huggins plays the game.
"I've said this a thousand times, generally speaking, we take people out of what they want to do. The truth is, we took Gonzaga out of what they wanted to do, but they were really, really good with throw and replace," he said.
Gonzaga, of course, annihilated the Mountaineers in the season opener, one of their three losses in what is now a 3-3 season.
"We've taken everyone out of their sets. We just haven't done a very good job guarding them when the floor gets spread," Huggins said.
Huggins gets some big-time help for today's game as the six-game suspension of newcomer Volodymyr Gerun is up and he's eligible to play. The native of the Ukraine was sitting out because he had played professionally overseas.
At 6-10, he is the tallest of the Mountaineers, and it is said he is a strong outside shooter.
"The best thing he does is shoot the ball," Huggins said. "We don't really have a pick-and-pop guy, and I think he can do that."
The Mountaineers' biggest problem has been shooting the basketball, especially from 3-point range. They are hitting only 40.6 percent of their shots and just 23 percent from 3-point range, making good on 20 of them in the first six games.
Against Marshall, they failed to make a 3 until there was nine minutes left in the game and took only six 3-point shots, almost ending a streak of 428 games in which they hit a 3.
The men's game will be followed by the women's game against St. Bonaventure at 7:30 p.m.

The Daily Item
WILLIAMSPORT — On Oct. 20, Shady Brook Campground, 275 Campground Lane, Beavertown, sponsored a Chinese auction that was hosted at the Beavertown Fire Company.
According to David M. Mull, owner of the campground, the fundraiser was a huge success for the second annual event. Over 34,000 tickets were sold to approximately 235 bidders. The bidders had a selection of over 400 Items to choose from with almost all of the items donated from many local businesses, and a few from members of the community. In addition to the auction, the event included an apple butter boil event.
When the auction concluded, the Shady Brook Campground and its volunteers had collected over $2,000 to be donated to the Lycoming County SPCA to aid in the care and well being of the many animals that pass through their doors. Just before Christmas, the SPCA was presented with a check from the proceeds of the event.
Planning for the 2013 annual event is already taking place which will include a Dog Days Carnival being held on Sept. 7, and the Third-Annual SPCA Chinese Auction being held on Oct. 19.

The Daily Star
---- — A Morris teenager was arrested after fleeing authorities in on all-terrain vehicle, Otsego County deputies said Thursday.
John A. Gardner III, 16, was charged Saturday with unlawfully fleeing a police officer, reckless driving, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, unlawful possession of marijuana and multiple vehicle and traffic violations, deputies said in a media release.
Gardner was driving an ATV at a high rate of speed on sidewalks and streets in the village of Morris, the release said. When deputies tried to stop him, Gardner fled southbound on West Main Street onto the Morris Central School athletic fields and then into the Olds Road area.
Gardner was located a short time later leaving the wooded area, deputies said, and he refused to identify himself and fought with authorities.
Gardner was arraigned in Morris Town Court and sent to Otsego County jail on $1,000 bail. He posted bail Oct. 15 and was released, authorities said.

It was a really stressful day yesterday for me and I was not even in court. I was waiting to see if my DD was going to call me or if I had to go pick up my GS from school.
There are so many sick, wicked and evil people in this world, doing stupid things to people. It is sad that such as this is allowed.
It is COLD this morning in NC. OMG...and going to get colder. Actually they said some snow is expected in the mountains. I am thankful I am not there. I had to cover my plants again last night but I am not sure they will survive. They really need to come inside but they are huge plants.
Here is hoping each of you had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for us all, with little to no pain.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our support group. I am sure that each of you will soon find something that will help you cope better. Hang in here and learn all you can about what others have found that has made a difference for them. You should remember though that we are all different and what helps one may or may not help you. It normally takes a *combination of tools* which will make a difference in how your feel.
Vitamin D. Be sure and speak to your doctor about getting your Vitamin D level checked. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for some people and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Have a good day and remember to pace, pace and pace even more. Your body will thank you.
We have light snow coming down here in Wellsville, NY. It is sticking on the grass, but will probably disperse with midday sun. Honestly, the first year we moved to our farm September 22, 1972 it rained a little every day--every dreary, damp day--until it snowed in the middle of November. Since then, I've had at least a part of me that welcomes snow as the bringer of colder, but dryer air. That year was the beginning of my new life as a farmwife and as a fibro member. The boys were 6 and 20 months old. My mother was now 300 miles away. I hurt everywhere. And the "colic only lasts 6 months" people were off by the next 6 1/2 months. It was not my finest hour.
Forty-one years later things are so different. The colicy baby is living happily in his group home. His toddler brother is now
the owner of our farm. My mother's grave is that 300 miles away. And we did have some glorious fall days this summer.
A recent flurry on the site and elsewhere is about the AV shunts and their implications. There are still some "experts" who believe WE gave ourselves fibromyalgia by not using our bodies more when the first symptoms appeared. These people will say--as always--that our inactivity caused this pathological change in the small blood vessels in some fibro women's hands. They said the same thing about the changes found on fMRI of our brains. They blamed our elevated Substance P in our spinal chords on--you guessed it--our own inactivity. I think that it would take an Olympic athlete who maintained her training despite the onset of fibro to change some closed minds. But, of course, those "experts" would say that she was just an anomaly.
Or, at least, that's my take on things.
Again, I am so happy for your whole family. Let's hope this
nightmare is truly over.
The clouds are breaking up over us now. It will be sunny but cold today. It will be in the upper 20's tonight. Summer is gone for sure and I am adjusting. I will be turning on the heaters. Am also thinking that it would be a good idea to light up the fire place to break it in for the up comingwinter. Thank goodness DH took off the chimney cover a day or so ago so I can if I want to.
And DH and I are going to bring the plants in from the garage this evening and put them up in the gym room for the next few months. I put them in the garage for a few days to let any insects or crawling things shake themselves out before bring them inside. I also have to get a humidifier this year. Put if off but really should be using one with the house being dried out by the heaters and fireplace.
And it was cold as I went out the door this morning. I had a 6:45 appointment at the surgery center to get my left eye tweaked. And the cold just went through me as I stepped out of the car to go in. But I really didn't care because I getting this whole eye thing behind me. NO. I found out I have to come back in and do the right eye next month. UGH and Grrrr. Not that the correction by laser was bad, it really wasn't. The procedure it self took less then 3 minutes to do and it didn't hurt a bit. It's the waiting to the uncover the left eye and get back to normal that is the hardest part.
MiMi I am so glad/ happy that this court thing is behind your DD and SIL. Wish there was a way to go after that guy and get the court and lawyer costs tho! I also wish the judge had admonished the ex cop in front of everyone, but it's over and that's the important thing. Getting back to normal is a very good thing!
Well I was at it again this morning shopping TV shows for bargains.Got some deeply discounted ( 83 and 80% off )
earrings on GMA's Deals and Steals. Saved 100 dollars on one and 90 dollars on the other. I like shopping online. I really feel I get better prices for things I want/ need. But I really need to reel myself in and not shop so early. I plan to shop Cyber Monday after Thanksgiving as I really feel there are good bargains online. DH is the one who likes Black Friday sales. Always goes out at 3 and 4 to get deeply discount things like shoes and pants. Me not at all. Like I said I do online for most things during the holiday sale days. But I like to wonder in goodwill and thrift shops as they too have sales during this time. Odd I know. Who'd have thunked it.
I guess I'll close this here and get my day going. Sending well wishes and <<< hugs >>> to all.
Linda R
It was a good today for me. Despite a very long haul yesterday I feel pretty good. My back is firing warning signals, but holding out as it has for the most part. The middle back issue has improved. I hope it stays this way or better for a while. The last flair has gone on for a long time.
Stress is down a bit, the DW is smiling again and headed back to her old job for now. She was supposed to start mind November but her boss asked that she come back on the 4th her old schedule. I think her boss missed her.
We took a crisp walk this evening just around downtown. It was cool at about 40 degrees, but a very nice night. We just had to bundle up a bit. Of the edge of downtown their is an old railroad roundhouse they are in the process of tearing down. These are very interesting landmarks. In the days of steam engines it was used to store and repair them with a round floating mechanism in the middle for positioning the engines in stalls of the building. Some tried to save the old girl to restore and repurpose it but it was in poor shape. It is now city property and will hopefully bring in a new business to take it's place.
Bette, it looks like Wellsville beat out Two Harbors. for snow. We have had a few hints of it but nothing on the ground yet. My son Jonathan was colicy for over 2 years. I could barely hold him. He has a slight learning disability but it is fading away. He is very sweet and kind for 13.
Linda, I love a good deal. If I need something but can wait a bit, I try to find the best deal on it. In a pinch though I try to support local shops and just pay a little extra.
I do hope you are all doing well, especially those we haven't heard from lately. Take care everyone.
Mimi-- glad that is behind you. It was cold here this morning too. I brought most of my plants in yesterday, didn't check weather for tonight--I just thought if I don't bring the rest in--fine.
Had EEG and MRI & Labwork today. I still have some paste in my hair--did wash it but I guess I keep missing some.
No results yet. I've never had an eeg before so I was thinking that it would be good if I had one of those episodes during the test. The tech said that she would use strobe lights and breathing fast for 3 min. to try to cause a seizure. So there was no seizure--I thought. After it was over I was kind of bummed cuz I thought--well how will they know what it is if it doesn't happen? Anyhow I remarked to the tech and she laughed and said, don't worry your brain is plenty busy. So-- not sure what that means-if its good or bad or ? Left there and got the MRI and the bloodwork. I guess my neuro should have most of the tests tomorrow and hopefully will contact me. I suppose it could be as late as monday before I know anything, hopefully not.
So not much going on otherwise. Took the grands to library yesterday and out to get some new shoes. That was fun and tiring. I wanted them to have cozy feet for cold weather. Evelyn loved her cute shoes and Jake I don't think has ever had real shoes yet, his feet are so pudgy I had to get the shoes a little too big to get them in.
He seemed fine walking in them, and climbing on things!
Next week when we go to story time they get to wear costumes. Can't wait!
