By SUSAN TOBIAS
---- — Before sitting at the computer to write this column, I decided to check my old columns to avoid duplication. When you get older, you forget sometimes, right?
As I'm looking through the list, I realized this is my 103rd Pinch of Time. Wow! How did that happen? Guess I never stopped to count because I'm having so much fun.
Speaking of fun, Toby and I have just returned from a week at the Friendship Suites in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Sometimes fun is just relaxing, and we did a lot of relaxing.
Our cottage is right on the beach, about two miles from the famous pier. Fall is a quieter time in Old Orchard. The teens and revelers have gone home, and just the "old folks" are there. We had a week of sun and misty rain. Rainy beach days are for watching old movies, taking a nap or walking the beach with an umbrella. I love all three and don't mind a rainy day.
Our daughter and her husband, Tracey and Randy, joined us for part of the week, and we all went to the Fryeburg Fair even though rain threatened. Well, it did more than threaten. As we were eating our organic turkey dinner in the dining tent, it poured "cats and dogs," as they say. Thankfully, we all had umbrellas, but we cut our day short, opting to go back to the cottage to dry out.
Driving up to the fair, you see a lot of beautiful sights this time of year. The trees are turning beautiful colors, especially around the Sebago Lakes. There are man-made sights, too, that I enjoy. One is figuring out vanity plates on cars. I believe they have to be under eight letters and numbers. We saw some interesting ones on our drive up to Fryeburg.
There's a lot of ingenuity that goes into the message these specialty plates convey. A big black Hummer had on his plate: "RUJLUS." At first, I thought they were initials. After saying it over and over to myself, I came up with this: "Are you jealous." I thought that was rather haughty.
Another was on a semi: "GRTTRKN." "Great Truckin'" is what I came up with, probably by a guy who loves trucking. I figured this next plate belongs to newlyweds: "MARK I T8." "Mark I Take"; I think she married Mark.
On our drive home to New York, a little car with Massachusetts plates whizzed past us, and I mean whizzing, on the Vermont interstate. His plate said "VRMTR." I interpreted that to mean he was a Vermonter living in Massachusetts and was in a hurry to get home for mom's cooking. He was blessed because there wasn't a state trooper in sight all day.
I also like to read messages on church bulletin boards. The Swanton, Vt., Methodist Church always has an interesting adage. It made me laugh, but it has a serious side as well: "Honk if you love Jesus; text while driving if you want to meet him." Like I said, made me smile, but tragically so true.
So here we are, the 103rd Pinch of Time column, and I'm looking forward to the next 103. I love to hear from our readers, so keep on sending me those emails and notes. I feel like I have a whole new circle of friends out there in Newspaper Land.
One last thought, as always, please be kind to each other. The world needs more kindness.
Susan Tobias lives in Plattsburgh with her husband, Toby. She has been a Press-Republican newsroom employee since 1977. The Tobiases have six children, 18 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They enjoy traveling to Maine and Colorado, and in her spare time, Susan loves to research local history and genealogy. Reach her by email at email@example.com.

Grateful Dead, American Beauty (1970)
From the nine months before I was born until now, this album and every other album by The Grateful Dead has been playing in my life. The free-spirit sound and attitude of this band is a huge part of who I am today. This would be a band that has changed the way I've thought about more life situations than religion. The smooth feeling of folk with a blend of psychedelic sound waves on this album speaks to me in ways little music does.

One of the harshest comments made by George W. Bush during his time as "president via election coup†has to be his proud declaration of being a "wartime president!†I can not adequately describe the sick feeling I got in my stomach as I watched the Oval Office occupant smile as he talked about making all of his decisions from the point of a war time president. Needless to say I was thoroughly disgusted with George W. Bush as a human being as I am with all the people in my nation who look positively on a leader whose only method of addressing problems or issues is by the use of deadly force.
The actions of this administration have actually caused me to give pause when it comes to the most patriotic notion of supporting the troops. This administration has morphed our service men and women into murdering machines who will fight for a cause that does not exist. I watch as U.S. military school graduates vigorously cheer a vice president who proudly declares that his administration has no intention of adhering to the U.S. Constitution and will continue their policy of spying on Americans. This administration has hijacked our military and is turning them into a weapon to defeat the U.S. Constitution. I can only support a military that is there to protect our Constitutional rights; I can not support one whose mandate is to violate it or whose members support those who do.
Under this administration the U.S. military has been used, abused, lied to, put into situations where their human dignity and decency could and has been compromised and where the new up and coming crop of military leaders do not recognize the clauses in their oath that requires them to protect the U.S. Constitution. This administration has made the U.S. Military a symbol of shame, a tool of tyranny and an enemy of the U.S. Constitution.
What our military, our nation and the world needs is a "peace time president!†Any moron criminal can create war, especially when others are there to do the fighting. A real leader should be able to bring about peace and should be able to address issues with reason, confidence and with the security provided by our military. If the cause is just no lies need to be told. If the cause is just no shots fired would be questioned. The military must no longer be under the control of people with unjust causes and inadequate leadership qualities.
For the sake of our troops, our nation and the world America needs a peace time president. Think about it!

Check out this post on Go Clipless to see the newest bike from Mercedes. I agree with Graham that this is a disturbing trend. It reminds me of the mid to late nineties when several automakers (including Mercedes) were offering bikes, usually overpriced ones, under their own brand names. Does everyone remember the last generation of Mercedes labeled bikes? Basically they were AMP B5s with slight aesthetic changes and Mercedes stickers on the top tubes. Though AMP research is no longer making bikes, they still have a picture (shown here) on their website. I have to say that I like the old Mercedes design better than the latest one. At least the Horst Link was a good suspension design and was state of the art at the time the bike was released. I just don't get the new design. It looks like a Y bike, but it is a decade too late. Maybe Mercedes has determined that their target market doesn't care about performance and will rarely ride off road. Still, I don't know why are they downgrading from a bike that they offered nearly ten years ago. AMPs were good bikes. Mercedes should have found an equally innovative design and manufacturing partner to get back into the bike business today.

Vonn fades to 21st in returnBy PAT GRAHAM
The Associated Press | November 25,2012AP PHOTO
Tina Maze races down the course en route to victory in a World Cup giant slalom ski race in Aspen, Colo., on Saturday.ASPEN, Colo. Immediately after crossing the finish line, Lindsey Vonn collapsed to the snow in complete exhaustion.
Her stamina gone, Vonn simply couldnt make up ground on winner Tina Maze of Slovenia in a World Cup giant slalom race Saturday. Vonn finished 21st in her return after missing time with an intestinal illness.
Then again, given the way Maze has been racing of late, no one was going to catch her. She used a blazing final run to finish in a combined time of 1 minute, 59.39 seconds to hold off Kathrin Zettel of Austria by nearly a second. Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany was third.
The 29-year-old Maze also won the season-opening GS race in Soelden, Austria, last month, with Zettel taking second there, too.
I feel like people are watching me now, more than before, said Maze, who did a cartwheel after the win. Id like it to continue this way.
All eyes were on Vonn, too, just to see how she performed after a bad stomach bug recently landed her in the hospital.
Vonn was 10th after the first run, but didnt have anything left in the tank for the second pass through the challenging course. The more the four-time overall champion tried to attack the hill, the more snow she sent flying in every direction and the more speed she lost.
I didnt have the energy I needed to really be competitive, said Vonn, who earned her first World Cup points of the season. Its been a real fight to even be able to race today. I didnt have it.
Im a competitor. This isnt exactly the kind of result I was hoping for. But I have to still keep things in perspective and realize that I was very sick just a few days ago. Im just happy to be racing again.
Her strength has been completely wiped out by the virus, which is finally responding to antibiotics. Until Saturday, she hadnt made it through a full GS run since the bug hit without pulling off to the side out of breath.
This definitely helps with her confidence.
Eventually, on a course like this, its all going to catch up with you, said Vonn, who will skip the slalom Sunday to conserve energy.
Your whole body is going to shut down at some point. I just have to stay positive and keep building.
Maze is showing just how determined she is to take Vonns overall title. She switched ski technicians before the season and theyve instantly been in tune. Maze also finished fourth in a slalom race in Levi, Finland, two weeks ago.
Its natural, the way Im skiing, she said. Everything is under control. I dont risk too much.
Although Maze finished runner-up to Vonn in the overall standings last season, she still thought of it as a hard year.
It was not a perfect season for me, Maze said. Even though I was second in the end, I had many troubles and many mistakes. I wasnt happy at all. It was tough. I didnt win any races last year.
She might not have ended up No. 1 on the slopes last season, but Maze has recently occupied the top spot on the musical charts in Slovenia.
She sang on a music video entitled, My way is my decision, a catchy pop tune. The music video has already generated nearly 800,000 hits on Youtube.
Maze also plays a pretty mean air guitar in the video with her skis.
A budding singer?
Im a skier. I dont want to be a singer, Maze said. But I do like to have fun besides skiing. It was fun to make the video. Im proud of this.
Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin had the best finish for the Americans as she wound up in ninth place. The 17-year-old was actually on the final step of the podium for quite a while, before finally being bumped off.
Thats a big breakthrough, Shiffrin said.
Julia Mancuso couldnt agree more for not only Shiffrin, but the rest of the young U.S. skiers.
Sometimes, it can be daunting with people like me and Lindsey doing well, said Mancuso, who finished 15th. Its good to show the rest of the team that you just have to go for it. Dont set sights too low because me and Lindsey are both beatable by the young ones just like today.
The day didnt go quite as well for Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany. She caught an edge that knocked her off balance and straight toward a gate. Just before crashing into the obstacle, she stuck up her left arm, saving her face but bruising her arm.
It hurts pretty bad, said Hoefl-Riesch, whose day was done but still arm willing, of course plans to ski in the slalom race. Im really disappointed because I had good training the last two weeks. I was really fast in the training. Obviously, I cant bring it down in the race. Its really sad.MORE IN Wire SportsFOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady has been impressed by rookie running back James White.

Keeping Your Chore Load Light
by Robert
It's tempting to fill your day with farm chores, but the fact is that farming (and rural living in general) is filled with projects that have to get done, projects that happen once in a while but not every day. If you fill up your time with daily chores, you won't be able to get anything done!
This is doubly true if you have a day job, as I do (in the WAN acceleration group at Citrix Systems). There's been a big deadline crunch that's kept me from getting my newsletter out on time or even respond to email properly. But I get my daily chores done because (a) I've purposely kept a lid on how many I accept, and (b) There are limits to how much I'm willing to let things slide in a crisis.
I figure that 2-3 hours of daily chores are about all a full-time farmer can afford. For a part-time farmer, it's much less. Too many things come up that require large blocks of time -- some planned, some not. The chicken houses have to get built, escaped livestock have to be coralled, failed machinery has to be repaired -- it all takes time, and lots of it.
So keep that chore load low!

You are so right! You hit the nail on the head.
Like you, I have a part-time (fitness trainer) business, but with a 2 hour commute 4 days a week and trying to maintain of 5 acres of home, field and woods nothing would do last year but to have a quarter acre vegetable garden! I am sure you can predict the result!
After fighting the battle with last year's drought in the Carolinas, HERDS of deer, FLOCKS of crows and other wildlife, hand watering 3 days a week plus endless weeding, digging, hoeing…..well it was just easier, simpler and a lot less expensive to go to the 'Pick Your Own' farm up the road and can the stuff he had grown! I like to stay in shape, but Geez!
This year I instituted "The Plamondon Plan" and bought 8 Gold Comet 'started Pullets' (18 wks old) and they were laying within a month. I can't buy the chicks and feed them for 5 months for what he was charging. That egg money has bought the feed for themselves and 25 White Rock chicks we bought at the same time. They'll start laying in August. We have 50 more started pullets coming next week and will be in full production with 68 hens by August and 17 Cockerels in the freezer. Right now I average about 7 hours weekly on chores. It will probably be 2 hours a day in August and there after.
Your knowledgeable and pragmatic advice plus your research into pre-WW I poultry techniques has been invaluable. We have happy, healthy free range chickens (our little dinosaurs), magnificent natural raised eggs and more customers than we can supply. And a whole lot fewer insects on the farm!
We also spend about 2-3 hours a week picking Blueberries from our 30 bushes and I planted 100 more this past spring. The only work with them is at harvest time and light annual pruning in the fall and winter.
Now I just have the very best thing in farming-harvesting 'natural' eggs, Organic Blueberries-two products that most everyone loves - and my own veggies from the neighbor's farm. And Light duty!
Once the coop and furniture is finished for the new hens and the electric fencing is installed maybe I can get around to that bent tin on the barn roof!! Oh yeah and I need to fix the gate, clear that hillside and…

As a winter chill returns to Northern Virginia, businesses from across the Greater Springfield area have stepped up to provide winter outerwear for area residents in need.
The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce's 12th annual winter outerwear campaign will aid area residents served by one of the Chamber's non-profit members, ECHO – Ecumenical Community Helping Others, as it has in years past.
"Living here in the Greater Springfield area is a blessing we often take for granted," said Nevin Gibson, chair of the Chamber's Community Affairs Committee, which organized the drive. "It is difficult for us to imagine families that are less fortunate to the point they cannot even afford the basics.
"The Community Affairs Committee has been proud to work with ECHO to help local families. Our winter outerwear drive assists our neighbors who find themselves in economic straits during the harshest months of the year."
ECHO, a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to assisting people in need, provides temporary or emergency assistance, including food, clothing, household items, and financial support to about 1,000 families a year.
Businesses will serve as collection locations through December 14. As boxes fill, dedicated volunteers from ECHO retrieve items and prepare them for distribution to people in need in our community.
The collection locations will accept winter outerwear, including new winter hats, new scarves and gloves for all ages, new children's coats, and clean, gently-used blankets. This year there's a special need for coats, especially in children's sizes infant through 16 and adult plus sizes.
Participating locations include:
NOVA Medical Education Campus
RE/MAX Allegiance – Burke Centre
Union First Market Bank-West Springfield
For more information call the Chamber office, 703-866-3500.

WHITEWOOD, VA. — The isolated towns of Virginia's Appalachian coal region are home to strong labor unions and Democratic political machines that date back generations. Yet voters here who eagerly pushed Democrats into the Senate and the governor's office are resisting Barack Obama.
Some Americans say Obama's race and uncommon background make them uncomfortable -- here those people include Democratic precinct chairmen and get-out-the-vote workers. Many Americans receive e-mails falsely calling Obama a Muslim -- here a local newspaper columnist has joked in print that Obama would have the White House painted black and would put Islamic symbols on the U.S. flag.

Iowa Wins Hawkeye Challenge for 23rd Time in 24 Years
Saturday, December 03, 2005Dan Oppland's (Saint Louis, Mo./Whitfield) monster 23 point, seven rebound effort was good enough for a spot on the All-Tournament Team, but not enough for a Crusader win, as Valpo fell 72-59 to #14 Iowa Saturday night in the Championship Game of the Hawkeye Challenge in Iowa City, Iowa.
Oppland followed up a 22-point, eight rebound semi-final performance with Saturday's effort, making shots from all over the court against the Hawkeyes, statistically one of the nation's toughest defenses. The senior has now scored at least 20 points in eight straight games, and is averaging 23.3 points/game this season.
Valpo cut a seven-point halftime deficit to three early in the second half, but Iowa quickly opened it back up and led by at least seven most of the final twenty minutes. With the score 54-47, the Hawkeyes went on a quick six point spurt to ice the ballgame. Mike Henderson had 10 second-half points for Iowa, who wins their tournament for the 23rd time in the 24-year history of the event.
The Hawkeyes started the game hot from the outside, making four quick three-pointers and building a 19-11 lead midway through the first half. Iowa led by as much as 11, but Oppland kept the Crusaders in it, scoring 15 of Valpo's 27 first half points, and the Brown and Gold went into the locker room down 34-27.
Mohamed Kone (Lyon, France/Jean Paul Saltre) had another strong showing, scoring 10 points to go with 10 rebounds and three blocked shots in the Championship Game. Jeff Horner led Iowa with 19 points, and joined teammates Greg Brunner and Adam Haluska on the All-Tournament Team. Horner was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
In the third place game, Fairfield (1-4) picked up their first win of the season, defeating Tulane (1-4) 80-68. Fairfield's Michael Van Schaick and Tulane's Andrew Garcia were also named to the Hawkeye Challenge All-Tournament Team.
The Crusaders (3-1) will return to action Wednesday night in Milwaukee, Wis. when they take on Marquette at 7:05 p.m. That game can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

HP Releases Tru64 Filesystem under the GPL
Hardware manufacturer HP has released the source code for its Advanced File System (AdvFS), which it uses for the Tru64 Unix OS under the GPL, along with a Linux reference implementation.
The publication of the source code, documentation and a test environment may help the filesystem become part of the Linux kernel very quickly, at least this is what HP hopes for. The roots of HP's own Unix Tru64 operating system go back to the eighties when HP collaborated with IBM, Digital Equipment and other vendors under the Open Software Foundation to create a 64 bit system dubbed OSF/1. The last version of OSF was released in 1994; HP will be supporting the Tru64 Unix operating system developed on the basis of OSF until 2012 at least. A new 5.1B-5 version has been announced for the latter half of 2008. The hardware manufacturer adopted a double pronged operating system strategy a few years back and HP's Linux server business has been very successful since then.
Hewlett-Packard has released a reference implementation for an enterprise Linux filesystem along with the source code for Tru64 AdvFS. According to HP, AdvFS will bring speed, security and performance advantages to Linux. The Unix filesystem's special features include simple file and storage management, online system backups, and high availability. Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin views the step as a major contribution towards promoting the use of the Linux operating system in enterprise environments: " HP's contribution of the Advanced File System code, coupled with their overall resource commitment to Linux, will greatly accelerate the development and commercial availability of improved system functionality for Linux." says Zemlin.
The source coded, documentation and a test environment for AdvFS are available on Sourceforge under the GPL v2.
advfsThis is GREAT but it may be too late to save the best filesystem that exists...

Fourth man nabbed in Central California museum gold heist
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 9:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 9:14 a.m.
MARIPOSA — Investigators have arrested a fourth man in connection with a $1.3 million precious gem heist at a state museum in the Sierra foothills, and they say more arrests could still come.
Forty-two-year-old Christopher Sheffield was taken into custody late Tuesday. The other suspects in the robbery at the California Mining and Minerals Museum in Mariposa County were also arrested on Tuesday. They are: 41-year-old Jonathan Matis, 43-year-old Matthew Campbell and 40-year-old Edward Rushing III.
The museum was open when it was stormed by masked robbers armed with pickaxes on Sept. 28. The robbers smashed display cases and made off with Gold Rush-era nuggets and other gems.
A spokesman for the California Highway Patrol says investigators are going through evidence seized at the suspects' Northern California homes.
Lt. Mike Troxell would only say that gold with some quartz had been recovered.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — The community can help create happy, healthy families by contributing to the fifth annual "Save a Smile" toothbrush donation drive, which helps patients and families served by the Traverse Health Clinic.
The drive continues through September and benefits hundreds of local families in need of basic oral health care supplies. Donations of child and adult toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss may be dropped off at all Tom's Food Market locations, all Northwestern Bank locations in the Traverse City area, Traverse Dental Associates, and Traverse Health Clinic.
Financial gifts may be made online at www.traversehealthclinic.org, or sent to Traverse Health Clinic, 3155 Logan Valley Rd., Traverse City, MI 49684. Checks should have "Dental" on the memo line.
Irene Saylor's daughter Maureen recently adopted a small white Maltese dog from the Cherryland Humane Society. The humane society aptly named him Rocket and that's exactly how he took off — like a rocket — when Maureen took his leash off after a short walk down the driveway.
"We picked him up (because) Maureen was working and we brought him home with us," Irene wrote. "She came after work (so excited), put the leash on and just walked a little down the driveway. Then as she was removing the leash, the dog slipped out of the collar and took off. No way could we catch him."
Neither could some ladies on another block. He ran into the woods and was gone. The next day, again while Maureen was at work, Irene went to the shelter and gave them a poster with Rocket's picture and their phone numbers. Irene also placed posters at several other locations. That afternoon, they received a phone call that Rocket had been found by Mr. and Mrs. Rob Turnquist at midnight running around Potter Road.
"These wonderful people took him home, removed many burrs from his fur, gave him a bath, food/water, and he spent a restful night there," Irene wrote. "This couple refused to take anything for their trouble. They even took him to PetSmart to have the incision (from his neutering operation) checked. How wonderful for this couple to do such a kindness. My daughter, as you can imagine, is so grateful. We are so thankful to them."
Theresa Galante, executive director at Mt. Holiday, wrote to thank the group of employees from Hillshire Brands/Sara Lee, Environmental Pest Control, and Pat Anton for once again adopting Mt. Holiday for the United Way Day of Caring.
"They have painted, caulked, cleaned, split and stacked wood, mowed and generally spruced the place up," Theresa wrote. "They have been so wonderful to us. Thank you!"

Tulsa to host Big 12 baseball tourney in 2015
TULSA — The Big 12 has announced that its annual baseball tournament will move to Tulsa in 2015 before returning to Oklahoma City in 2016.
The five-day event in Tulsa will be played at ONEOK Field, home of the Double-A Drillers. It will mark only the third time it has been played somewhere other than Oklahoma City, which has hosted the tournament in all but two years since 1997.
The Ballpark at Arlington hosted the event in 2002 and 2004.
ONEOK Field opened in 2010 and has a capacity of 8,152, but the stadium is capable of holding up to 9,009. It has averaged 9,300 fans for four games between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State since 2010.
Oklahoma City's Bricktown Ballpark, home of the Triple-A RedHawks, seats just over 13,000.

A Joliet woman whom police say brazenly swiped a car from a hospital valet parking lot and drove into the security guard trying to stop her was charged with aggravated battery and vehicle theft.
The incident occurred at about 9:50 a.m. Dec. 23, when Jaimie Kinney emerged from the front entrance of Provena St. Joseph Medical Center, observed a minivan with its key in the ignition and climbed behind the wheel, Joliet police Cmdr. Rich Demick said.
A security guard on duty knew the van did not belong to Kinney, 20, of 358 N. Broadway, and attempted to block her exit from the parking lot, Demick said.
Instead of stopping, however, she "struck and carried him several feet," eventually running into a curb and then a tree, he said.
The guard suffered injuries to his arm and ribs, and was admitted to Provena, Demick said. The minivan was seriously damaged.
Demick credited the security guard, a former Joliet police cadet, with spotting Kinney before she was able exit the lot and steal the car.
Kinney was arrested in April 2012 on charges of aggravated battery of a police officer and felony theft and again in October for failing to appear at a court hearing.
She's being held in Will County jail in lieu of $7,500 bond.

Indiana Jones
Our quest to find the ultimate Indy-inspired items started with the spring runways, naturally. The desert-chic pale layers and soignée turbans at Hermes seemed appropriate, as did the gauzy tops paired with utilitarian canteen-like brown bags at Chado Ralph Rucci. On a more elaborate note, one Armani look, featuring intricate jewelry and a head adornment, seemed befitting for Dr. Jones's leading lady (whomever she may be).
Armed with these muses, we turned to the shops in search of the perfect product for this story. Fortunately, the most difficult part was narrowing down our favorites from the multitudes we found! We decided upon a set of five Iosselliani Bangles ($395) to pay homage to the many snakes Jones encounters in his escapades. Then we chose the Deux Lux Backpack ($58) because it is both lightweight and uncomplicatedly stylish-a perfect satchel for any modern-day adventure. Most of Indy's escapades seem to take place in steamy locales, so we pulled the little Chiffon Shift Dress ($22.80) from Forever 21 for its coolly appropriate look. Finally, we settled upon a pair of Sam Edelman's Ginger Sandals ($95). We imagine that Willie Scott (Indy's romantic interest in the Temple of Doom, shown above) would appreciate their thin gold ankle straps, and silver beading detail as much as we do. -JESSICA AMENTO

Sports Editor
---- — Four Gloucester football players were recognized as the cream of the crop of their respective positions in the Tier 2 of the Northeastern Conference/Cape Ann League.
Seniors Santo Parisi and Devin Hemeon along with juniors Drew Shairs and Jason Lattof were named NEC/CAL Tier 2 All Stars. Seniors Mark Horgan and Austin Titus were named NEC/CAL honorable mention All Stars.
Senior captain Parisi has done a little bit of everything for the Fishermen this fall starting on both ends of the field and being named to the all star team for his work on the defensive side of the ball.
Parisi can play both outside linebacker and cornerback and that versatility has seen him make plays all over the field for Gloucester. On the offensive end Parisi has been the teams starting quarterback, he has also played a little running back throwing for 343 yards and five touchdowns to go along with 178 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground.
"He's done everything for us this year," Gloucester head coach Tony Zerilli said of Parisi after an October clash with Lynn Classical. "He plays every play, even on special teams. We couldn't ask for more out of him as a player and a captain this season."
Hemeon was named to the NEC/CAL All Star team for the second season in a row. While the 240 pound bruiser played just about everywhere on the field as a junior, he has settled into the tight end spot as a senior and been the team's most consistent player.
The senior leads the team with 17 receptions, 204 yards and three scores through the air. But his biggest contribution may be as a blocker where he devastates defensive linemen with his strength opening up big holes for Gloucester on the strong side of the offensive line.
Junior defensive tackle Shairs showed off his potential as a sophomore, and as a junior he put it all together developing into a force in the middle of Gloucester's defensive line.
The 300 plus pound Shairs demands a double team on every play and has good mobility for a player of his size. Shairs has anchored a defensive front that has turned into Gloucester's biggest strength excelling against the run this fall.
Over the last few weeks Shairs has stepped in as the team's strong side tackle playing next to Hemeon and helping the team establish a productive strong side rushing attack.
Lattof may be the smallest member of the Gloucester offensive line, weighing less than 150 pounds, but his production has been anything but small.
Despite the fact that he's facing kids nearly twice his size week after week, Lattof had an all star season having his way with bigger players thanks to flawless technique and a tenacious attitude.
Lattof anchors an offensive line that is made up of four juniors.
A line that has been good this season and has the potential to be great in 2013.
Horgan earned honorable mention honors for his work on both sides of the ball, leading the team in all purpose yardage while playing multiple positions on offense and defense. Titus has also been a standout at both offensive guard and switching from defensive end and inside linebacker on the defensive end.

A former lecturer at the University of Akron is appealing a state decision that she was ineligible for unemployment compensation when her job ended.
The administrative appeal in Summit County Common Pleas Court pits Paula Maggio against the university and the state.
Maggio was a part-time instructor in women's studies at UA from fall 2007 to spring 2010. She became a full-time lecturer for fall 2010 and spring 2011 and her appointment was extended another semester.
In fall 2011, she learned her workload for the next semester would be cut from four courses to two, halving her income and eliminating the benefits she received as a full-time staffer.
That is about all that UA and the state, on one side, and Maggio, on the other, agree to in the case that could be a bellwether for other faculty in similar situations.
According to court documents, Kathryn Feltey, interim director of the women's studies department, and sociology department chairman Matthew Lee met with Maggio in November 2011 to offer her two courses for the coming spring semester.
Maggio balked, suggesting that she was being subjected to age discrimination because she was "over 40" and that two additional courses she wanted to teach had been offered to a part-timer whom Maggio maintained was younger and less experienced.
Maggio refused to tell UA if she wanted to take the two courses that had been offered to her and tried to route the conversation to her issue: that she wanted more courses.
Feltey got "irritated and angry and said maybe it would be better if you didn't teach anything in the spring, and I said, 'Are you letting me go?' and she said, 'Yes, I'm letting you go,' " Maggio testified in the brief.
"Then as she stood up to leave the room, she said, 'Let me rephrase that. Your contract ends in December. I'm not rehiring you.' "
Maggio filed for unemployment, setting off a chain of filings and appeals.
At first, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services sided with Maggio, awarding her unemployment compensation that began Dec. 11, at the start of the semester break.
The ruling found that Maggio was unemployed because of lack of work.
When UA appealed, a hearing officer reversed the decision. She found that Maggio quit her job without good cause and was ineligible for benefits.
Maggio appealed to Judge Tom Parker in Summit County Common Pleas Court, who will review the court filings.
In this latest appeal, Maggio maintains she never quit her job and that she only had the possibility of teaching two courses in the next semester. State law prohibits university employees from collecting unemployment if they have a reasonable assurance of employment in the next term.
The university maintains that state law prohibits university employees, such as Maggio, from getting benefits in the weeks between terms.
Feltey and Lee "had no choice but determine that Claimant did not want to teach in the spring semester," according to a state brief.
Parker will issue a decision in coming weeks.

According to reports from the Norristown Police Department, a local store owner managed to foil a robbery attempt after chasing down the alleged perpetrator and hitting him with his car.
Norristown Police responded to the area of Penn and Cherry streets at approximately 6:21 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 26, for a report of a disturbance. On the scene, officers encountered witnesses who reportedly stated that they heard someone calling for help and observed a silver SUV apparently chasing a man running eastbound on Penn Street.
Officers searched the area and were flagged down by the owner of the Fern Rock Market Deli, who was the driver of the silver SUV. The owner reportedly told police that after closing his store for the evening, he was sitting his car with a bag containing several days proceeds from the business when he was accosted by a light-skinned black male, later identified as 28-year-old Terrell Coley, of the 1300 block of West Main Street. Coley allegedly opened the door to the car and yelled "Give me the money!" as he pulled the 47-year-old man out of the car and repeatedly punched him in the face.
The victim told police that he attempted to fight off his attacker by punching and biting him, but Coley allegedly threw him to the ground and ran off eastbound on Penn Street with the bag containing cash, checks and a credit card.
The victim told police he got back in his car and followed Coley to Swede Street where he turned south. The victim reported seeing Coley fall in the area where the sidewalk was under construction, get back up and run across Main Street, no longer in possession of the bag.
As Coley crossed Main Street, the victim stated that he ran in front of the victim's car and was hit by the SUV, throwing him to the ground. Coley reportedly got up and continued on his way, entering the Black Fan Apartments at 28 West Main Street.
The victim told police he retraced Coley's path and was able to recover the bag, its contents still intact.
Police reportedly investigated the scene and were able to follow a trail of blood leading to an apartment in the Black Fan Apartments where they found Coley. Coley was detained and brought to the victim, who positively identified him as the man who assaulted and robbed him according to police reports.
Coley was transported to the station for processing and arraignment. He is being charged with robbery, robbery by force, receiving stolen property, two counts of simple assault and theft by unlawful taking. Police also discovered an outstanding bench warrant for Coley.

It's the latest of the Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore cheating scandal rumors, and this one is a doozy.
Alleged Kutcher mistress Brittney Jones has a lot to share with Star Magazine and we're sure that's because of the nice paycheck she's getting. The 21 year old Jones has been babbling on for weeks now about having an affair with Demi Moore's husband, Ashton Kutcher.
Her latest claim is that Kutcher and Moore have an "open relationship" and that's why Moore isn't bothered by the rumors. Gee, that's so probable and it explains so much, not.
"Ashton said he and Demi have an open relationship and have threesomes often. I didn't feel at all like he had just cheated on his wife. It felt normal and OK" Jones told the mag (via PopEater).
Jones continues babbling on about her one night with Kutcher, even saying that he and Moore have threesomes frequently and that Moore was upset that Kutcher didn't "share" (PopEater).
Does this girl have any class at all? If Kutcher and Moore had an open relationship, than he didn't cheat on her, did he? It seems that Jones' story is now null and void and she's backed herself in to a corner. Oh well.
