---- — It took the Legislature just a few moments of thoughtlessness to let the fireworks genie out of the bottle in Michigan, but the effort to put some limits on the use of consumer grade pyrotechnics is taking a lot longer than that.
A couple area townships have followed Traverse City's lead and taken advantage of a clause in the state law passed last November that allows local governments to limit the use of newly-legal, more powerful fireworks to the day before, the day of and the day after a national holiday. Hey, who doesn't finish off the turkey with a few Roman candles?
Peninsula and Acme townships adopted ordinances similar to Traverse City's; violations are a civil infraction punishable by a fine, usually $100 for a first offense.
Blair and East Bay townships are expected to consider similar restrictions this week. East Bay officials are supposed to discuss a ban at a meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the township hall. Supervisor Glen Lile said he suspects the board will support drafting an ordinance to consider in November, based on a large number of complaints officials received.
Blair Township officials are expected to vote on adopting a ban when they meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the township hall. Green Lake and Long Lake townships haven't chosen which route to pursue.
Long Lake Supervisor Karen Rosa said she hasn't received as many fireworks complaints as she expected.
"We've talked about it a little, but haven't made a decision yet," she said.
Garfield Township, the most populous community in the region, won't be taking up a ban anytime soon, according to Chuck Korn, the supervisor.
"We had a brief discussion in August," Korn said. "The consensus was since this is the first year, let's give it a while before we do anything like a kneejerk, like write a new law."
Actually, there's no rewriting involved. The existing law allows communities to limit days when fireworks are allowed; that's the only leeway they have.
Obviously, not everyone hates the new law or the bigger fireworks. And around the Fourth of July, who doesn't like a few booms and a color show. That's all fine, but only as long as no one has an accident and those setting off the boomers have some respect for their neighbors.
Respect is what this is all about. If the people who set off fireworks across the region well into the night and on any day of the week thought about the folks two houses down who are trying to sleep, there wouldn't be a problem.
But they didn't/don't and so people call the police or the township hall to complain and the complaints mount and sooner or later, elected officials have to do things like restrict the use of fireworks to just 18 days a year and come out looking — in some eyes at least — like wet blankets.
But that's the way things worked out.
Acme Township supervisor Wayne Kladder said he received 40 or more complaints from residents.
"People weren't sleeping, dogs were barking, we even had a report of a fireworks war where people were shooting fireworks at each other," Kladder said. "It was just overwhelming."
Peninsula Township's supervisor Rob Manigold told a similar story.
"Maybe it's because we're surrounded by water, but many of our residents are complaining about people shooting off fireworks as soon as night falls," he said. "And then there's the ones who come home from the bars at 2 a.m. and shoot them off."
That's just not acceptable, no matter one's level of patrotic zeal.
If you live in Garfield, you may have to wait for relief, if that's what you seek.
"We'll be a little piece of heaven," Korn said. Right. If heaven has a sound track straight out of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Williams College is a private institution that was founded in 1793. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 2,052, its setting is rural, and the campus size is 450 acres. It utilizes a 4-1-4-based academic calendar. Williams College's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 1. Its tuition and fees are $46,600 (2013-14).
Williams College - located in Williamstown, Mass., at the foothill of Mount Greylock in the Berkshire Mountains - is one of the oldest colleges in the country. The school was originally a men's college until 1970, when women were first admitted. The college's fraternities were abolished in 1962. The school has many unique student activities, including the semi-annual, school-wide trivia contest and the annual Mountain Day in October when students hike Mount Greylock. The Williams Ephs (named after the school's founder Ephraim Williams) participate in NCAA Division III varsity sports in the New England Small College Athletic Conference. Williams is also part of the unofficial Little Three athletic conference with Amherst and Wesleyan. The school requires freshmen to live on campus in any of six different residence halls.
Williams College has three academic branches-languages and the arts, social sciences, and science and mathematics - and graduate programs in history of art and economics. Williams has small class sizes, with a student to teacher ratio of 7:1. The school also has Oxford-style tutorials, which rely heavily on student participation. The college is home to many firsts, including the world's first society of alumni, the first to wear caps and gowns at graduation and the first to host an intercollegiate baseball game. The school has a tradition at each graduation to drop a watch from the top of the college chapel. If the watch breaks, tradition holds that the class will be lucky. Notable alumni include Elia Kazan, director of "On the Waterfront" and "A Streetcar Named Desire"; John Frankenheimer, director of "The Manchurian Candidate"; and Prince Hussain Aga Khan of Shia Muslim Royalty.
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
Talented, highly motivated students and faculty from across the country and abroad gather in the natural beauty of Williamstown to create a community of learning that is both personal and powerful. Personal are the bonds that grow among faculty and students - in the classroom, lab, theater, and studio and through an endless array of extracurricular activities. Powerful are the learning that results, the impact Williams students go on to have on the world, and the strength of their lifelong attachment to each other and to the place.

The death of a homeless man in downtown Los Gatos the morning of Oct. 24 left many in town shocked about what had happened to regular transient Christopher Blatnick.
But they also wondered who he was, where he came from and why he had ended up on the streets.
Police found the body in a public bathroom on North Santa Cruz Avenue with no sign of trauma, no evidence of foul play.
A friend of Blatnick's, who identified himself as Thomas Kouns, said the 50-year-old man had grown up in Los Gatos and had attended St. Mary's School and Los Gatos High School.
He also said Blatnick had started working very young in the restaurant industry as a bus boy and then a chef around the country.
One of his first jobs was at C.B. Hannegan's, Kouns said. He also was in the Armed Forces, but he wasn't sure which branch.
At the time of his death, Blatnick had been trying to get his military benefits. His wife Martha, who was also homeless, had died several years ago and the loss had a profound effect on his outlook and world view, Kouns added.
Blatnick also battled his demons, one of them substance abuse, Kouns said, who met him through St. Luke's Episcopal Church's outreach program for the homeless.
"Like most of us, he was not a perfect person," he said. "But I can say this ... Chris was bright, funny and when not affected by alcohol, a kind human being."
Kouns said he met Blatnick after moving back to the area from New York and went to St. Luke's. After that, he would see him around town occasionally and would speak with him whenever he could.
"You wonder how the homeless get in these situations," Kouns said. "What precipitates that ... I can't say I knew him intimately or fairly well, but I always asked him questions.
"He clearly struggled with substance abuse issues, but he was articulate ... He was on a path that he could not get out of."
Like many in Los Gatos who help and befriend the homeless, Kouns said he wasn't shocked that Blatnick had died, but he was saddened by the death.
As others, Kouns would see the blond, scraggly-bearded thin man around town buying small bottles of vodka from local liquor stores with money he had received from kind-hearted residents. "He would drink them continuously ... when his wife passed away he had a very hard time recovering from that ... he couldn't get out of that cycle."
Blatnick was also in survival mode, he added, battling - like many homeless - difficult childhoods and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and alcoholism. "You could tell, the last few times that I had seen him, that he was probably not long for this world," he said.
A homeless friend who goes by the name of Cory remarked to Kouns that he also knew Blatnick was going downhill. "He was aware of what was going on. He knew he was going downhill and from afar it seemed he didn't care."

NO LIMITS: O Freestyle Snowmobile Star Levi LaVallee Breaks Water Gap World Record, Soars 412 Feet Over Marina Park On New Years
A run in with the Grim Reaper after a horrifically violent test crash would discourage most freestyle snowmobile riders.
But not Levi LaVallee.
Despite broken ribs, a cracked pelvis, a collaped lung and a punctured second lung after slamming into the ground while training for his 2010 "Red Bull: New Year. No Limits." jump – a flight of more than 300 feet over a Marina Park in San Diego – he bounced back with a vengeance this New Year's Eve.
Just after midnight on the East Coast, Levi rocketed over 300 feet of water – safely landing and effectively shattering his own world record for distance jumping on a snowmobile, clearing 412 feet, 6 inches before a national audience (ESPN).
Oakley's star rider outdid his own expectations on his fortunate second crack at the feat, which nearly took his life before he could even attempt a real jump at Embarcadero Marina Park in 2010.
"I'm as excited as I think a person can be," Levi said, rocking his Oakley goggles. "I just landed an over 400-foot jump. I'm not sure how the sled's doing, but I'm OK, so it was good. It's an amazing feeling. You have no idea how pumped I am."
The seven-time Winter X Games Medalist (four Gold) and champion Snocross charger was the first to double backflip a snowmobile in 2009 at Winter X Games. But this year, he proved that his will and determination are just as huge as his heart.
A huge congratulations from the Oakley family on the historic jump! Check it:

Rochester, N.Y. - April 27, 2013 - The Springfield College men's volleyball team is headed to its fourth-straight national title match as it defeated Baruch College in five sets in the NCAA Division III Men's Volleyball Championship Semifinals on Saturday afternoon in Nazareth College's Kidera Gymnasium. Set scores were 25-22, 25-18, 18-25, 22-25, 15-13.
Top-seeded Springfield, who was ranked No. 1 in the nation this week, improves to 31-3 on the season and had now won 25-straight matches. In a rematch of the 2011 national championship, Springfield will take on host Nazareth for the national title at 4:00 pm on Sunday.
This marked the third-straight season that Springfield and Baruch have squared off in the national tournament. The Pride bested the Bearcats in the 2011 national semifinal, and was victorious in three sets last year in the NCAA Championship Quarterfinals.
Springfield was led by the sensational play of first-year Luis Vega, who totaled a match-high 14 kills at a .357 clip to go along with nine digs and four aces. Greg Falcone recorded 12 kills while hitting .500, and John Coen added 12 kills of his own. Mike Pelletier finished with a double-double, producing 11 digs and 10 kills, while Nick Ferry posted a match-best 16 digs. Keaton Pieper and Mike Becker combined for 55 assists in the win. The Pride held an edge in kills (61-53), aces (11-7), assists (58-50), and digs (55-54), but hurt themselves with 21 service errors.
In the first set, the Bearcats took an early 5-3 lead after Martin Joksimovik hammered ball out of middle. Springfield would battle back as a Coen kill, coupled with a thunderous swing by Vega evened things at 6 all. Baruch continued to apply pressure from the service line, and an ace at 11-8 forced head coach Charlie Sullivan into first timeout of the match. Springfield would battle back to tie things on a Vega ace at 11 all and eventually take its first lead since the first point of the match at 14-13 on a deep swing by Coen in transition. The Pride's offense built some momentum and earned a 16-14 cushion on a Vega overpass kill, forcing Baruch into a timeout.
Springfield maintained at least a one-point cushion, with a Pelletier kill at 22-20 forcing Baruch into their final timeout. Vega crushed a cross court kill at 23-21 and Falcone and Pieper combined for a monster block to reach set point. Vega than gave the Pride a 25-22 victory, ripping a kill off the Baruch block. The Pride outhit the Bearcats, .321 to .100 in the opening set, but was daunted by seven service errors.
The Bearcats crept back to 19-16 as the Pride burned a timeout, but Vega stemmed the tide as he destroyed a kill off the block, and followed it with back-to-back aces to make it 23-17. Falcone then put his stamp on the frame, bouncing a ball out of the middle as the Pride took the second, 25-18 and finished the set with a .500 hitting percentage. Baruch jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead, with Chris Kaimis and Steven Coniglio highlighting the early going with a double block, but Springfield responded with a 4-1 burst to even things at six following consecutive kills by Pelletier and Coen. Becker would then Springfield an 11-9 lead after a tremendous run of serves, including a pair of aces, as Baruch called for a timeout. Nick Smith smashed an overpass kill to cap off a three-point surge for the Bearcats as they regained a one-point advantage. After a long rally that resulted in another Baruch point on a Jack McKee kill, Springfield called for a timeout of their own at 16-14.
Vega crushed a kill to bring Springfield within one at 18-17, but the Bearcats responded with five-straight points to grab control. McKee then sealed the 25-18 set victory with a kill off the Springfield block. The Pride was limited to just a .081 hitting percentage in the set, as it totaled eight attack errors after Baruch totaled four team blocks.
Consecutive double blocks for Baruch gave them another early lead in the fourth 3-1, only to have Becker blast back-to-back aces to put Springfield back on top at 8-7. An O'Leary kill out of the middle gave Springfield a 12-11 lead, but Baruch strung together three-points points, capped off by an ace, as the Pride burned a timeout at 14-12. Gabe Rivera produced an ace out of the break to push the lead to three, but Falcone answered back with a kill out of the middle to even things at 17. However, Baruch gained the separation in needed after pouring on a 5-0 run to earn a 22-17 lead, using two huge blocks in the push.
Sullivan went to his bench and Alistair Matthews responded with a pair of critical kills to force the Bearcats into a timeout at 23-21. McKee sided out for set point, but Matthews added another kill to extend the set, only to have O'Leary just miss on a overpass swing to force a fifth set.
Vega opened up the fifth set with his fourth ace of the day and Baruch launched two-straight attacks out of bounds for an early 3-0 lead for the Pride. Pelletier would later tip a ball over the block to keep Springfield up 6-3 and then delivered an ace for an 8-4 lead at the switch. Falcone posted a block at 10-7 but the Bearcats responded with a 3-1 burst, using a McKee kill to force Springfield into a timeout. The teams traded kills in the one-point affair until Pelletier crushed a cross court bid for match point. An ensuing service error prolonged the match, but O'Leary produced his eighth kill to wrap up the gritty win.

The Orange Leader
Molly Turvil of the Orange County Child Support Office is retiring.
An item on the agenda for the Orange County Commissioners Court Monday 2 p.m. meeting concerned the discussion concerning the office will return on the agenda for next week.
"The Board of Judges are meeting noon Wednesday," County Judge Carl Thibodeaux said. "They are meeting to discuss personnel issues for that office. Anything today would be pure speculation."
Thibodeaux also said he wanted the commissioners aware.
The Orange County Child Support Office collects and remits payments, which were court ordered before January 1, 1994. Child support orders handled by the Attorney General's Office and private child support orders after January 1, 1994 are redirected to the Texas Child Support Disbursement Unit in San Antonio for payment processing according to the Orange County Child Support website.
Thibodeaux gave a report on the meeting with the Corp of Engineers last week.
"It was positive," Thibodeaux said. "They were excited to have our study to protect Orange County."
Thibodeaux said Orange County was the only county to have a feasible study done.
"They will incorporate out study into their study," Thibodeaux said.
The Corp of Engineers is working on a three year, $3 million study which started Jan. 1, 2013.
The study is funded by the Corp of Engineers and General Land Office splitting the cost.
The court approved Road Damage Bonds from McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. and Century Exploration Houston, LLC.
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. is to ensure that any road damage done while transporting a super heavy/oversize crane on Mansfield, Ferry and Church House Road would be repaired without any cost to the county.
"At one intersection they will extend the culvert out in order to make the corner," County Engineer Carl Slacum said.
The bond for Century Exploration Houston, LLC. concerns the transporting a super heavy/oversize equipment on Lake View Road.
The court also approved advertising for bids for the landscaping for the Orange County Convention and Expo Center.
Other items on the agenda:
• Proclaim May as Elder Abuse Prevention Month.
• Paying of the bills for a total of $138,079.59, including $21,652.83 to U.T.M.B. for contract for the Women's and Children's Clinic.
• Approving setting a reserve bid for auction items.

Click here to access full coverage of DLA Piper in The Lawyer UK 200 2013. Featuring the UK's leading law firms ranked by turnover, as well as extensive benchmarking data, the report is a comprehensive market intelligence resource for the UK legal sector.
Click here to access full coverage of DLA Piper in The Lawyer Asia Pacific 150 2014. The report is an essential business intelligence resource for anyone interested in Asia-Pacific's growing legal services market.
With 4,200 lawyers located in more than 30 countries throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, DLA Piper is one of the world's largest law firms.
It has been a successful year for the firm, being ranked as the biggest law firm in the world on a number of global league tables, including The Lawyer's UK 200. DLA Piper hit the top of the table for the first time in 2011 following The Lawyer's decision to take into account the global turnover of all firms, regardless of how profit was shared across offices.
Global co-CEO Sir Nigel Knowles put the growth in global turnover down to the firm's global nature, allowing certain international businesses to instruct DLA Piper across all practice areas and locations.
In terms of the breakdown of revenue across the firm, litigation and regulation and the corporate practice together brought in more than half of the global revenue last year. Corporate contributed exactly a quarter of income in the UK and was just one percentage point lower globally, while litigation and regulation chipped in 37 and 38 per cent of turnover in the UK and globally respectively.
The intellectual property and technology, employment and restructuring practices are not to be underestimated, together coming in as the third biggest income generator at 14 per cent of turnover globally and in the UK. The rest splits equally between the finance and projects practice and property, which both turn over 12 per cent each.
DLA Piper was one of the first law firms to make its way into the South Korean capital. Seoul joins the ranks of existing DLA Piper Asia outposts in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore.
DLA Piper's regional strategy is to promote and be led by a strong corporate and finance offering, aligned with the litigation and regulatory practice. Supporting those key prongs are employment, intellectual property and technology, real estate, restructuring and tax.

text: Honda offers Combined Anti-Lock Brakes (C-ABS) on the 2009 CBR600RR, which we covered in our April issue. But how does it compare to the non-ABS version? Can a skilled rider out-brake the computer? The editors at our sister magazine Sport Rider wondered the same thing, so tested the two CBRs side by side. Here's what they found... We reported our initial riding impressions and the technical details of Honda's Combined Anti-Lock Brakes previously, but haven't had the opportunity to test the technology against a standard braking system until recently. Our comparison ran the gamut of city traffic, highway droning, canyon carving and even some closed-circuit scratching. Puttering along in city traffic, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the C-ABS brakes feel identical to a conventional brake system. Everything from lightly brushing the brakes while negotiating a tight space to moderate use while pulling up to stop revealed no weird mushiness or numbness. In fact, the response and feel is so seamless that there is no way anyone would be able to tell they were riding the C-ABS bike. During spirited canyon riding, there is less front-end dive when braking on the C-ABS model, and this is because of the C-ABS' actuation of both front and rear brakes, with the rear brake acting to settle the chassis down on its suspension. Even over rough pavement, braking action was as smooth as any standard brake system, with none of the "freewheeling" cycling tendencies common to more primitive ABS setups. On the racetrack, the ABS actuation could be perceived as a slight numbness through the lever once past a certain braking threshold; even though you're asking for more braking power at the lever, the rate of deceleration remains the same (note that this is only at expert-level braking on a racetrack; most riders will probably never notice it). We conducted simulated panic stops on dry pavement, and again, the ABS engagement is so smooth that the only indication it was activated was a numbness at the lever. It took us a couple of tries before we were able to better the C-ABS' rate of deceleration (and note again that this was with an expert rider at the controls). Meanwhile, the more level chassis attitude and stable feel of the C-ABS bike will surely help the majority of riders stop more quickly and safely in a real emergency. And in the wet? Forget it: Even a pro-level rider wouldn't be able to reach the first-time stopping distance or deceleration rate of the C-ABS bike. The only real drawbacks to the C-ABS are the additional $1000 on the sticker price and 24 pounds of extra weight. To tell you the truth, we barely noticed the added bulk. Honda wisely positioned the C-ABS components as close to the engine as possible for mass centralization, helping to reduce their influence on handling. But the big question is, would we buy the C-ABS version over the standard model? We figure that would depend on where you intend to ride most of the time, and your riding skill level (and you'd better be honest with yourself). If you do a lot of track days and are an intermediate to expert-level rider, you'd probably prefer the standard CBR. But for everyone else, there's no doubt in our minds that the extra $1000 would be money well spent. "Even a pro-level rider wouldn't be able to reach the first-time stopping distance or deceleration rate of the C-ABS bike." By Kent Kunitsugu/Sport Rider Enjoyed this Post?

PERRY -- For some high school seniors, last weeks Georgia National Junior Livestock Show was the last they will compete in.
Katie Royal, a senior at Perry High School, wrapped up her FFA season with a Georgia championship ribbon for her groups heifer. Royal and her classmates, Sara Lauman, Tori Tucker, Jacob Collins and Anna Collins, won the ribbon in the group of five class.
We won it last year, and its the second time weve won it, said Perry High agriculture teacher Phillip Gentry.
Gentry brought 40 students who were showing cattle and 30 who were showing pigs.
In total at the show, there were more than 3,300 entries with about 2,000 students showing, said Michele Treptow, director of communications at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, where the event was being held in conjunction with the Georgia National Rodeo. Hogs accounted for more than half of the entries.
For Royal though, the livestock season doesnt end with her show career.
Gayanna Royal, her mother, said the family plans on having a new livestock breeding operation for cattle at their farm once Katie Royal is done showing.
Its a family thing, Gayanna Royal said of the past several years of showing cattle.
Katie Royal has been showing since she was in fourth grade and said her mother has been her biggest supporter. She plans on becoming an agriculture teacher and will start her core classes at Middle Georgia State College.
When she started showing, her mother said she had to give up playing sports and dedicate herself to the livestock. The animals must be fed and worked daily to perform well in the show ring.
Most of the classes are judged on the animals conformation, but some classes are judged on how well the students handle their particular animal.
At the Georgia National Junior Livestock show, Katie Royal had four head of cattle to show, including her favorite steer.
With the first place ribbon received Thursday, mom was proud of what her daughter accomplished.
It was just recognition of all of these years she has put into it, Gayanna Royal said.
Katie Royal spends at least 30 minutes per day with each of her animals. She practices with her showmanship steer for at least an hour, her mother said.
The senior spends time teaching the cattle how to lead with a halter and stand for a showmanship class.
Some of the cattle are worth upward of $10,000, and it is the groomer and students showing who help the cow receive the recognition.
This taught her a lot about commitment, Gayanna Royal said.

10. Re: Black Ops 2 Zombie Trailer?RaGinGiNsaNiTy May 22, 2012 6:57 AM (in response to Dozerdown)
8 players hasn't been confirmed yet, its only a rumour base off what the studio head at Treyarch said. If they do place 8 players into zombies, they will have to expand the maps, create 4 new characters in zombies, and much more. If they do add it, it'll be cool, but it is just a rumour yet.
11. Re: Black Ops 2 Zombie Trailer?baksxshortyx May 22, 2012 8:17 AM (in response to RaGinGiNsaNiTy)
Well as they're using the Multiplayer engine for zombies now instead of the story engine, i'm pretty sure the can put 8 players into one game, also with the multiplayer engine they're able to make bigger maps, from what i have been reading the maps will be 3-4times bigger than moon
12. Re: Black Ops 2 Zombie Trailer?poklane May 22, 2012 8:25 AM (in response to OpTiczzz)

15. Re: Black Ops 2 Zombie Trailer?dstr001 May 22, 2012 6:07 PM (in response to ripperkip)
There wasn't; During Blops 1 there was a viral marketting campaign by Treyarch to leak details about zombies returning, they used the website gknova6.com (is still working now actually).
Since they just came right out and stated zombies was back this time thought, I really don't know if there will be a trailer or not, but if there is, it will most certainly be just before launch; Treyarch tend to focus on the campaign in their trailers until just before launch, then show MP.

Getting Involved with Your Local Airport
As an aviation and aerospace podcaster, this is always a unique time of the year for me. By now, airshow season in the northern United States is over and I usually have a huge pile of content from the season that I can sit back and really think about.
It's not that I don't fly or go after great experiences in the winter (in fact, the Super D gets great hang-time on the hammerheads during the colder weather!), but the pace slows up a little. Year-end stuff at work is going to keep me out of the sky to some extent and I'm not actively working on any particular rating again until spring. Many of my fellow aviators and aviation enthusiasts are also scaling back a little, too.
The important thing is that we all have time to think. About next summer. About what aviation means to us. And we have time to make plans and set agendas.
In particular, I've been thinking a lot about my local airport. I fly primarily out of Oakland County International Airport (KPTK or "Pontiac"), where Sutton Aviation rents me aerobatic trainers andprovides instructors and where the CAP Michigan Wing's glass-cockpit C-182T Nav III is based. The picture above shows the ramp there during the airport's open house on 16 August. I took it from the back seat of one of CAP's gliders during a demo flight (and, yeah, I got to log it).
Now is a good time to get involved with your local airport. To make the calls and hit a meeting or two to really understand what's going on in the pilot community there and to understand how the airport is faring among its many constituencies.
It's easy to think of pilots and passengers as being the only constituencies of the local airport. But it's a lot broader than that. The surrounding community is a big consideration. Most of the people over whose homes we fly are non-pilots and, unbelievable as we might think it, many don't particularly like aviation or aviators. Many of them think of us as a nuisance because of the noise we make and might even harbor fears that one of us might drop a Cherokee in their yard someday. And no noise abatement program or commitment to safety is going to change their minds.
Unless we get out there and take our message to them. Your local community of pilots, maintainers, controllers, and others is very well positioned to help do that. After all, those folks know the facts and are probably able to express their excitement about aviation in a genuine way that can reach members of the community. And, by the way, if you're reading this, you're probably one of those actual or potential communicators that I'm talking about.
This is a great time of year to make a few phone calls and get involved in the promotion and support of your local airport. The operational tempo is a little slower and we can all take a little time to attend a meeting, take on a volunteer opportunity, or simply become more informed about the airport and its constituencies. And it's never too early to get involved in the planning for next summer's activities like open houses, airshows, and other events. Believe me, it's already going on.
The AOPA Airport Support Network ("ASN") is a good place to start. Check out http://www.aopa.org/asn/, where you can find out who the ASN volunteer is for your airport and, if you're an AOPA member, you can e-mail the volunteer directly from the ASN web page. The page also has a lot of great downloadable resources, including AOPA's Guide for Airport Advocates: Participating in the Planning Process; AOPA's Guide to Airport Noise and Compatible Land Use; and The Complete Guide to Holding an Airport Open House.
Not every airport is under threat from its local community, a fact that is due in no small part to the efforts of AOPA, EAA, and other groups. In those cases, you can join in the effort to keep the ball rolling and make sure that the message continues to go out to the community.
Some airports are under threat from development, encroachment, and just plain misunderstanding. If your local airport is one of those embattled facilities, ASN can help you to find out how to help protect the airport and communicate effectively with your friends and neighbors about it.
And it doesn't stop there. You might find local pilot groups, EAA chapters, IAC chapters, CAP squadrons, and others who share your love of aviation. You won't know until you start poking around and getting involved.
It's a great time to pick up the phone and use these colder months to get involved at your local airport. Some of your best friends are probably waiting to meet you.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Coming into the opening game of the Bishop McGuinness Classic, Norman North had two goals. The first was to improve the defensive rebounding, and the second was to come out ready to play from the start.
After a 75-60 win over Deer Creek on Thursday, coach Butch Roberts saw progress on both fronts, if not a complete turnaround.
"We were ready to play from beginning, and we did a better job rebounding," he said. "I thought today we shared the ball as well as we have all year. But we still need to get better at rebounding. Right now we do it when it's easy or convenient, but we need to do it all the time."
They did it enough against the Antlers. After the lead changed hands five times in the first quarter, North began to pull away. Spurred by Payton Prince, who scored eight of his 16 points in the first quarter, the T-Wolves stretched the lead to 16-11 at the end of the frame.
It was a sign of things to come, and North used a 15-2 second-quarter run to take firm control of the game. A big part of that came from the Timberwolves' activity on the boards, including one possession in which North pulled down four offensive rebounds before Tye Neubauer finished off the possession with a short jumper.
After two encouraging games last week against Class 6A's top two teams in Edmond Memorial and Midwest City, the Timberwolves delivered on that promise against Deer Creek, building a 20-point lead in the second half.
But the Antlers wouldn't go away, and after several deep 3-pointers, they had closed the gap to 10 points with just under four minutes to go. In what could be seen as a sign of growth for the young T-Wolves, they weathered the storm, clamped down on the defensive end and extended the lead back to 20 in the game's final minutes.

Ooof. Last week was a long week! We've been swimming, bowling, mini-golfing, Jedi training, ice cream scarfing, hanging out and much more.
Friends and followers have remarked that I must have been competing for an Olympic gold medal in parenting and staycations.
While I admit that earning the title of "Most Funnest Mom" was secretly my goal, the reality is that I wanted to fill my kids' week with awesome summertime memories.
This staycation was primarily a (i.e. no camp for two weeks) but it has also been a bonding experience as well as reconfirming that I am in no way cut out to be a SAHM!
If you too are staycationing, here's some advice from me to you on how to make it enjoyable for the kids - and sane for you:
- Plan ahead: I do this by maintaining a list of all the interesting places and activities in and around our neighborhood. I've been doing this ever since my kids were toddlers so that I wouldn't have to spend time thinking about what to do or where to go. As I embarked upon this staycation week, I was armed with a master list of options for destinations and activities.
- Check out these sites: I subscribe to these two site's email newsletters and follow them on Facebook and Twitter - Boston Central, MommyPoppins Boston. And I also check the Patch's 5 Things You Need to Know each day. This way, I can learn about fun activities taking place on any given day. For example, we discovered a really fun Jedi training session that was running last Tuesday at the Watertown Public Library.
- Don't go it alone: Pair up with another family, if you can. By jamming into one car, you'll save on gas and the kids can entertain each other, rather than pester each other and annoy you with endless "are we there yet?' questions. Plus you'll have a grown-up to converse with.
- Set a budget: It makes sense to figure out what your total budget for the week's outings and activities should be ahead of time. Or set a daily limit. Or simply check out admission costs before you leave the house so you don't get any nasty surprises. A couple of the places on my list were prohibitvely expensive or charged entrance for adults. Also, check out the great free options made possible by Highland Street's Free Fun Fridays in the summer.
- Check the weather before you head out: Nothing worse than getting rained on when you don't expect it! Make sure there are some indoor activities on your list, just in case. We had to change plans twice this week due to storms!
- Say yes: As a Mom, I say no to my kids A LOT. This week, I've been trying my hardest to delight them by saying yes as much as possible, within reason. (Enjoy it while it lasts, kids.)
- Ice cream: On a daily basis. It's summer, it's vacation so why not? Yes, we built ice cream into every day! Also works as a great motivation for good behavior.
- Mix up the routine: I am a big believer in routine but staycation is the perfect time to throw routine out the window. Past bedtime? No worries. Breakast for dinner? Yes please. Watch a movie while eating dinner? Sure. Wear PJs until lunchtime? Yup!
- Be silly: This applies to adults and kids. How was I silly this week? Why, I had a light saber battle with a Jedi master, of course.
- Reward yourself: It's hard work and patience-testing planning for, entertaining, driving and catering to your kids non-stop during a staycation. So go ahead, pour yourself a large glass of wine at the end of the day. Plan some much-deserved alone time once staycation is over. Meet a friend for lunch. Grab a mani/pedi
How am I rewarding myself? I'm going back to work today and I can't wait!

The Lakers once again showed what a $100-million payroll could do for them — not much.
The Clippers, meanwhile, happily demonstrated what a young, fun team can do at a much more cost-effective $69 million.
The Clippers clinched the season series against the Lakers for the first time in 20 years, winning in front of a Lakers home crowd Thursday, 125-101, at Staples Center.

---- — CROWN POINT — The Town of Crown Point recently celebrated the accomplishments of lifelong town resident and local chiropractor Nelson Hyatt.
Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington presented Nelson, 94, with a lifetime achievement award.
"He is known as an honest, honorable, sincere and God-loving man," Harrington said. "To know Nelson is like being provided with a gift. He is so knowledgeable and friendly, his very presence invites a conversation."
Nelson grew up during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
"The family scratched out a living on a 34-acre hillside farm," Harrington said. "They kept four cows, which enabled the family to make $10 a week on cream sales."
Nelson said they also had pigs, chickens and a horse on the farm that he shared with his parents and siblings.
"We all worked at surviving," Nelson said. "Dad couldn't get on the WPA (Works Progress Administration) because he had money in the bank."
The Works Progress Administration was a New Deal agency that gave public-works jobs to millions during the Great Depression.
Nelson's father, Owen, would cut brush to make extra money, and his sons mowed local cemeteries.
"We didn't have running water, and with the well set back quite a ways from the house, lugging water was a daily routine. Kerosene lamps were our source of lights in the house," Nelson said.
He said they heated water for baths on the kitchen stove.
"We washed up daily, but the Saturday night bath was thorough, and it made us presentable for the Sabbath," he said.
Nelson graduated from Sherman Free Academy, which became part of Moriah Central School, because he was working and staying at a farm in Moriah.
"I milked 12 cows morning and night. I got so that I could milk 12 in one hour. I made $3 a week for my milking skills," he said.
The milking money was saved for college, and after graduation he left for Texas Chiropractic College in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated in 1939, but when World War II hit, Nelson and his brothers — Kenneth, Wallace and Earl — all enlisted.
Nelson was shipped to France and landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy on June 8, 1944, two days after the D-Day invasion.
"Two months before the war ended, Wallace was killed in Germany," Nelson said. "When we got home, we got water piped into the house and had electricity installed. That made life easier for our parents."
He opened his own practice in Ticonderoga in 1946, retiring in 2008 at age 89. Nelson and his wife, Alice, recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. The couple have five children: Kathy, Eileen, Stephen, Stanley and Elaine.
Nelson met Alice when she came to him as a patient with facial paralysis of unknown origin. After three weeks of spinal nerve treatments, the palsy was gone, and the couple married on Dec. 11, 1947.
Nelson served two terms as Crown Point town supervisor, from 1978 to 1982.
Nelson now walks with two canes, Harrington said, but raises potatoes, beans, corn and tomatoes in his own large home garden.
"When vegetable season arrives, stop by," Harrington advised. "He might be maneuvering through shoulder-high tomatoes or headed toward his potatoes just to make sure the beetles don't get there ahead of him. People should witness his accomplishments."

It is also by far the shortest road up from the plain of Er Rahah. I have often ascended it in less than an hour. The peaks of Ras Sufsafeh have been Avell described by Dr. Stanley, as rising like a huge altar in front of the plain, visible against the sky, in lonely grandeur, from end to end of it. It is the very image of the " Mount that might be touched," and the plain before it is not broken and uneven, and narroAvly shut in, like almost all others in the Peninsula; but presents a long, retiring sweep, up which the people could " remove and stand afar off." At the bottom of the plain, about 300 yards from the actual base of the mountain, a low semi-circular hill runs across it, forming a kind of natural amphitheatre, sufficiently large to scat many thousand persons: from it the voice of a man standing in the cleft that separates the tAvo peaks which tower above can easily be heard. The more closely one examines into the natural features of this spot, so much the more is the conviction strengthened that lliis can be none other but the Mount of God, from which the LaAv was given to the children of Israel assembled in the plain beneath. It will be seen from the picture how completely isolated the mountain is from those around it. On the left, as we view it from the plain of Er Rahah, the deep valley, in Avhich stands the celebrated convent of St. Catherine, separates it from Jebel ed Deir; behind it, two other valleys, running east and west, divide it from a lower range; and on the right, the Wady Shireich completes its isolation. In this Wady are terraced gardens, watered by a stream, Avhich probably was the brook descending from the Mount, into Avhich Moses cast the dust of the Golden Calf, after he had burned it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small (Exodus xxxii. 20). Still further to the right runs a larger and deeper valley, the Wady Leja, which also contains a plentiful stream of water, and at its head there stands another ruined monastery. A detached mass of rock, fourteen feet high and seventeen broad, is pointed out in this valley as the Rock of Moses, from which the children of Israel were supplied with water during their wanderings in the desert.

Long-Term Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatments
The long term effects of your breast cancer treatment is based a number of things. First, the chemotherapy effects are specific to the type of chemotherapy that you received. Most likely, you received a combination of agents such as adriamycin, cytoxan, 5-flurouracil and/or methotrexate. All of these have different side effects which can be enhanced when taken in conjunction with other treatments. Speak with your oncologist about what medications you received and how it could it affect you in the long run. He or she is you best resource on the effects of chemotherapy and how it relates to you.
The radiation therapy can cause very few long term problems when done correctly. There is an increased risk of lymphedema or swelling in the arm due to blockage the lymph vessels from the lymph node dissection at the time of surgery along with addition of radiation to that region. This is usually treated with physical therapy. There is also a small risk of rib fracture with prior radiation to the chest/breast in the area treated with radiation. It does take quite a bit of trauma for an injury to cause a fracture, so it is not a case where a deep breath could cause it to break. Occasionally, there is irritation of the lungs leading to a cough. There may be irritation of the ribs and intercostal muscles which could be uncomfortable on the side of the irradiated breast.
The radiation along with lumpectomy commonly cause minimal deformity on the affected breast. There is edema or swell and scarring that occurs after radiation and lumpectomy. This is the firmness that you feel in your breasts at this time. Occasionally, this improves, but it may never return to it's original softness.
