By JOHN CORYER Press-Republican
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Pressure situations are nothing new to the Plattsburgh State men's soccer team.
After surviving three tough games to win the SUNY Athletic Conference Tournament, the stakes become even higher for the Cardinals this weekend.
Plattsburgh will oppose Wheaton (Mass.) in Saturday's 1:30 p.m. opening-round game of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Host St. Lawrence University will tangle with Thomas (Maine) in the first game of the day.
The two winners will meet at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the regional title game.
"Even though this is a different game, our last four games have been one-goal games," Plattsburgh coach Chris Waterbury said. "We lost at St. Lawrence by a goal (1-0) and then won three one-goal games in the SUNYACs.
"We've played 12 one-goal games this year, and that's a lot. Nothing has come easy for us this year."
Wheaton (16-5) earned an automatic spot into the NCAA Tournament by winning the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Tournament.
The Lyons rolled to a 5-1 victory over Babson College in the semifinals and then knocked off host and top seed MIT 1-0 in the championship game, avenging a loss in the regular season.
Wheaton has scored 50 goals thus far and is led by Travis Blair (16-5-37).
Five Lyons have 10 points or more, including Noah Kissoff (8-3-19) and Ben Altheu (7-1-15). Keeper Matt Dickey has a 14-5 record and 0.91 goals-against average.
"They have a couple of guys who can score goals, and one of them (Blair) has scored a ton of them," Waterbury said. "Obviously, we're concerned a lot about that.
"They're very athletic, and they move the ball quickly. They're in the tournament for a good reason.
"But we have to do what we do best — to the best of our ability, for better or for worse."
The Cardinals (15-5-1) enter the event following three one-goal victories in the SUNYAC Tournament.
No. 4 seed Plattsburgh opened with a 2-1 home win over No. 5 seed Buffalo State in the quarterfinals, recorded a 1-0 victory at top-seeded Oneonta in the semifinals and a 2-1 decision at No. 2 seed Cortland to earn its automatic NCAA berth.
The Cardinals have four players with 10 points or more — Alexis Archilla (10-3-23), Matt Hamilton (7-4-18), Tom Greene (5-5-15) and Nick Parrella (3-5-11). Mitchell Jordon has an 11-4 record in net, with a 0.92 goals-against average.
A concern heading into the season was on defense, where the Cardinals were extremely young. But Plattsburgh has improved defensively as the season has gone on.
The Cardinals have scored 43 goals and allowed 19.
"Everybody is pretty excited, and the mood is good," Waterbury said. "We've had several good practices and the guys are working hard.
"We're reasonably healthy. For this time of the year, we're as healthy as we can possibly be."
The last time the Cardinals appeared in the NCAA Tournament was in 2010, when they dropped a 2-0 opening-round contest to Amherst in a game also played at St. Lawrence.
The first game Saturday will feature the Saints (15-2-2) against the Terriers (12-7-1).
St. Lawrence is ranked 17th nationally and won the Liberty League championship with a 3-1 victory over Skidmore in the finals at MacAllaster Field.
Thomas, meanwhile, was the fourth seed in the North Atlantic Conference and defeated No. 6 seed Colby-Sawyer 4-1 in the finals. In the semifinals, the Terriers were a 2-0 winner over Castleton State.
Plattsburgh rival Oneonta made it into the 61-team field with an at-large berth and will play Oberlin Saturday in Rochester.

Joseph Anthony Mantegna was born on Nov. 13, 1947 and raised on Chicago's South Side. An avid baseball player, young Mantegna never considered acting until he caught word of auditions for a school production of "West Side Story," which happened to be his favorite movie. He and a fellow baseball player auditioned on a dare and even though he failed to land a part, Mantegna was captivated by the idea of being a performer. He enrolled in the school's drama department and finally made his way on stage, first in school plays and later as bass player in several rock bands.
After graduating from Morton East High School in 1965, Mantegna enrolled in the Goodman Theater School at DePaul University.... Continue Bio >>

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
The Norman Tea Party is just a group of grassroots citizens who expect our government to do at least two things – follow the government set up by our Constitution and apply all laws equally to all citizens without favoritism to any particular group (in particular, well-connected or politically powerful groups.)
However, Mr. Stephan Weldom's letter to Tom Cole (Norman Transcript, Oct 10th, "Stand Up to the Tea Party") has cast the Tea Party negatively. He should be aware of a number of things.
The framers of the Constitution set up the House of Representatives as the keeper of the purse precisely to prevent the overreaching of an "imperial" Presidency and thus to support the checks and balances that are built into our system.
Thus, it is their prerogative to allocate funds. The recent crisis was of Mr. Obama's making, when he said, in essence, "give me 100 percent of what I want." When a Presidency chooses to negotiate on its own terms and not in the spirit of the Constitution, it is bullying the House and not the other way around.
It is the House's job to filter the political aims of the Executive branch through a reasonable budgeting process and to prevent any undue overreach.
Also, the President threatened our stock market and our citizens with "default." This is just another example of his bullying, since default is impossible if he follows the Constitution (14th Amendment, Section 4) and pays our debts first. There is plenty of money to pay our bills (current tax revenue = 10 X the interest on our debt). Unless he chose to ignore the Constitution, Mr. Obama's spending spree would have been curtailed had the House not raised the credit limit.
While this has a multitude of problems, it certainly would not have been a default as we have been led to believe. As a nation, we simply cannot keep spending more money than we take in and digitizing the difference.
Consider the President's attempts during the shutdown to hold the American people and our veterans hostage by deliberately trying to make the "shutdown" as painful as possible. Apparently, this was an attempt to make the citizens put pressure on the House to compromise their positions on ObamaCare, the debt limit, and the continuing resolution. In legal circles, this is called extortion.
It also demonstrates that our President does not have the welfare of our citizens at heart, but views them as pawns in order to achieve his political aims. There has never been such a situation before in the history of our Republic.
The Tea Party applauds the Republican's attempts to hold the President and his Senate accountable for this impasse.
Four things have been accomplished by insisting on compromises. First, this focus on the debt ceiling and funding has for a time taken the wind out of the sails of all of the other misguided Progressive/Democratic issues, from gun control to immigration to approving the UN treaty on arms control, which most Americans reject.
Second, it has shown the President's true colors, his disdain for the welfare of the American people, and his willingness to go to any lengths to get what he wants.
Third, the Sequester, which has taken the limits on discretionary spending back to 2008 levels, is still in place.
And fourth, the House has given the American people hope that someone is actually standing up for them and representing their views in Washington. A small group of citizens can still actually make a difference!
If you consider the Tea Party patriots as "rascals" for resisting to the loss of liberty being promoted by Mr. Obama, then we accept the title gladly. But remember, to side with this administration is, among other things, to accept the NSA invading our privacy by spying on Americans; the IRS breaking its own regulations to play favorites and to harass those it opposes; the CIA fomenting problems and meddling in the affairs of other countries; and crony capitalism corrupting our business culture.
In addition, ObamaCare is destroying jobs; adding hidden taxes; invading our privacy by providing our health records to the IRS; and destroying the best healthcare system in the world.
These destructive policies are forcing Americans to accept a vastly reduced standard of living, all in the name of "wealth redistribution". For these and many other reasons, we must not permit these abuses to escalate.
In the long term, defending our Constitution, which affirms our unalienable rights, the separation of powers, personal liberty, religious freedom, and the rule of law, is always the right thing to do. As concerned citizens, it is what we must do.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Metro police said an Illinois man arrested Thursday implicated himself in six killings in four states.
Police arrested 56-year-old Bruce Mendenhall of Albion, Ill., and charged him with criminal homicide for Sara Hulbert's shooting death. A security guard found the Ashland City woman's body at the TravelCenters of America truck stop on North First Street in late June.
Police said he implicated himself in six truck stop murders in four states.
Sources tell NewsChannel 5 that he took flesh trophies from each victim, but police would not comment on this detail. That aspect of the case along with a motive possibly will come out in a preliminary hearing next week.
Mendenhall was apprehended Thursday afternoon at the same truck stop where Hulbert's body was discovered.
Detective Sgt. Pat Postiglione said he was going to the truck stop for further investigation when he spotted the mustard colored truck investigators have been looking for for weeks.
Mendenhall parked the mustard-colored vehicle at the TravelCenters of America truck stop near downtown. Detectives said Mendenhall was nervous but cooperative.
Postiglione questioned him and asked to look inside the truck, where he saw blood spots on the door and inside the cab.
Mendenhall is also a suspect in the murder of Symantha Winters, whose body was found at a Pilot travel center in Lebanon about a month ago.
Police said at police headquarters, Mendenhall implicated himself in Hulbert's and Winters' shooting deaths.
"She had two little babies," said Kathy Allen, Hulbert's aunt. "She was trying to take care of her family. She didn't deserve this."
Police said Mendenhall also implicated himself in a homicide Alabama, one in Georgia and two in Indiana.
When he was formally charged at night court Thursday night, Mendenhall did not say anything.
Earlier Thursday afternoon, Metro police detectives took Mendenhall into custody and confiscated his vehicle from the TravelCenters of America truck stop near downtown. The truck was towed to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation headquarters to be examined.
A tow truck driver wore a biohazard suit. Authorities did not say if the driver wore the garments to preserve evidence or to protect themselves from contents inside the vehicle.
Quality Oak Products in Illinois owns the truck. In a telephone interview earlier Thursday afternoon, company co-owner Debbie Davis said she tried to reach Mendenhall all day. He worked there for several years.
"He's just a good driver," Davis said before Mendenhall's arrest. "He's never given us any problems. He's a laid back easygoing guy. I mean it just floors me."
Officials with the TA truck stop did not comment on the matter. However, a manager did say that they're working with police and will do all they can to help out in the investigation including sharing video from surveillance cameras.
"The Hulbert case was assigned to the centralized Homicide Unit at headquarters due to the potential that a serial killer was involved," Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas said in a statement. "A tremendous amount of work has gone into this case by Sgt. Postiglione, Detective Lee Freeman and their Central Precinct colleagues over the past two weeks. I am extremely proud of their professionalism and dedication."
Mendenhall confessed to killing Hulbert, a young mother of two at the TSA truck stop on June 26.
Hulbert's grandmother Sue Barr said she can't even express the relief she feels and hopes Mendenhall pays for her granddaughter's death.
"I'm just thankful that they caught him," Barr said. "She didn't deserve this."
Mendenhall is married and lives in Albion, Ill. He was held at the Metro jail Thursday night without bond.

Vegan Fashion Hits the Runway
Vaute Couture became the first all-vegan show at New York Fashion Week in February.
No one missed the leather—or the fur.
At New York Fashion Week's first all-vegan show in early February, the clothing was made from organic, recycled, and high-tech fabrics—beautiful tops, satin dresses, even winter coats. Models strutted the runway alongside rescue dogs adorned in bows. And only cruelty-free makeup and hair products were used to primp everyone involved.
"It was beautiful and amazing," says designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, who's behind the Vaute Couture line. "People are realizing that we can all make choices about the things we buy and wear, instead of allowing fashion magazines to choose trends for us."
[See Vegan Fashion: A Look at the Vaute Couture Line.]
Hilgart, 30, of New York, is on a mission to bring vegan fashion into the mainstream. That's right: Going vegan extends beyond what you put on your plate. Vaute Couture caters to people who care about where their clothes come from and how they're made—and also love style and fashion. The company produces clothing made without any animal skins or products that have been tested on animals. In addition to fur and leather, vegan designers don't use wool, sheepskin or lambskin, silk, or rabbit fur.
Hilgart's success is indicative of a push toward eco-friendly, cruelty-free clothing, experts say. The Humane Society of the United States lists more than 300 designers, brands, and companies on its fur-free list, and Stella McCartney and Steve Madden are among the big names getting in on the trend. Target, Bakers, and Payless all offer vegan shoes in addition to regular kicks. "Leanne is paving the way for future compassionate designers," says Michelle McDonald, fashion outreach manager for the Humane Society's fur-free campaign. "Animals are killed in the most brutal ways—even skinned alive—for fashion, and many consumers want nothing to do with it."
Indeed, life on a factory farm often spells death for the animals used to make material for clothing. Lambs' ears are punched and their tails chopped, and the males are typically castrated without anesthetics. They're sheared so quickly they end up bloody and mutilated—all in the name of wool, according to the Humane Society. Baby geese are strung upside down while their feathers are ripped out to create down stuffing. And when the animals are no longer useful, they're slaughtered. "It ends up being a very cruel process," Hilgart says. "But it can be hard to realize, because it's not something we all think about."
That lack of awareness is what Hilgart is working to change. She launched Vaute Couture in 2008, but she's been an animal rights advocate since she was 10 years old, when she and her friends went door to door selling homemade artwork to raise money for a local animal shelter. When she was 12, she sold the title of her social studies fair project, "Being Cruel Isn't Cool," to a national T-shirt company.
[See Me, Give Up Meat? Vegan Diets Surging in Popularity.]
Fast forward more than 10 years, when Hilgart was working as a Ford fashion model in Hong Kong while also pursuing an MBA at DePaul University in Chicago, her hometown. She realized that the best way to make her voice heard was through entrepreneurship—creating a business that would do good work in every facet. Vaute Couture was born, and Hilgart started with outerwear. She spent a year researching and developing her first line of winter dress coats, which combine recycled and recyclable fibers. "One of the last excuses people had to wear wool or down was that they needed to be warm," she says. "I realized that I could find and develop something better—an innovation for all, and not just a vegan alternative. I wanted my coats to be warmer and more protective than wool, so there would be no reason not to wear them."
Vaute Couture has since expanded to include dresses, skirts, tops, pants, and sweaters for both men and women. All are made from vegan, eco-friendly, low-impact fabrics, which means they have a low carbon footprint.. Staples include organic velvet and moleskin, 100-percent recycled zero-waste satin, waxed canvas, bamboo jersey, and washi paper knits. Hilgart also commonly uses vegan "leather" made from recycled fibers, and knits made with organic cotton fiber. "I can't just use the readily-made fabrics that most designers can," she says. "I have to custom-make them, and that takes much longer."

A comparison of leading Democratic candidates Kathleen Falk and Tom Barrett going into Tuesday's recall primary shows their differences are more about style and political strategy than substance on the issues.
Both campaigns have hammered against Gov. Scott Walker's cuts to public education and vowed to restore school spending. Both have focused on the need for job creation and derided Walker's record on it.
On public health matters, the economy and, yes, on collective bargaining for public workers, they are essentially on the same page over the long haul.
Where Falk and Barrett differ is not as much in their ultimate policy aims, but in their approaches.
, almost the instant the deadline for turning in recall signatures passed. She quickly declared her intention to fully restore all aspects of public collective bargaining that Republicans had repealed.
She sought and won the endorsements or recommendations of a slew of labor organizations, including the largest public employee unions — AFSCME, SEIU, WEAC. Falk even went so far as to sign a "veto pledge" to turn back any state budget that arrived on her desk without restoring collective bargaining in full.
Barrett, by contrast, waited… and waited… to get into the race, and just days before being re-elected as mayor of Milwaukee.
Barrett eased into the question of collective bargaining, refused to sign any such veto pledge, and while he has more recently said he would work to restore collective bargaining, he would do it in measures, not in one fell swoop.
Falk is seen as intense, outspoken and unabashedly liberal.
Barrett is seen as more mild-mannered, deliberative and moderate.
Given the fierce political division that has prevailed in Wisconsin for more than a year since the passage of Act 10, one could be forgiven for thinking that Falk — early and unstinting in her assault on Walker's measures — ought to be wiping up the floor with Barrett among angry Democrats.
In fact, the opposite seems to be true. Barrett was statistically even with or ahead of Falk in most polls even before he declared his candidacy. As soon as he did declare, he began to gain steam. In the latest poll, released Wednesday by the Marquette University Law School, Falk had dropped precipitously to lag Barrett by a 17 percentage point margin.
One analyst believes that Falk has been her own worst enemy by seriously miscalculating the political climate.
Barrett seen as 'more likeable,' less divisive
John McAdams, associate professor of political science at Marquette, who has analyzed that and earlier polls as closely as anyone, has as much as declared the race over.
"I'll be shocked if he doesn't win," McAdams said. "We in this business are sometimes shocked, but I don't think we will be this time.
"I think it's been obvious that Barrett has been a better Democratic candidate. In earlier polls, he was shown as 'more likeable.' He cuts a more moderate figure.
"In spite of criticizing Walker's measures, he used them to balance his own budget."
Falk, on the other hand, cast herself almost as Walker in reverse, McAdams said, in heavily currying favor with public unions.
"But being the union candidate doesn't get you much in Wisconsin," he said, "especially in the public sector. Just being the union candidate is not a big boon.
"Our poll showed people split about evenly on their support of public workers' unions; there's much more support for private workers' unions, and that hasn't changed."
"Falk hasn't chosen to campaign to the general public, particularly any independents. There's a small group of people in the middle that adds up to the difference. And they just don't care that much about collective bargaining as an issue."
The Marquette poll did, indeed, show that not just a few people in the middle, but, in fact, as issues that concerned them most.
"That veto pledge was probably a mistake," McAdams said. "I think it indicates she is more combative, but some people have had enough of that."
Barrett, McAdams said, also has more statewide recognition.
"Fewer people said they didn't know enough about him to have an opinion. Between that and a more likeable, less confrontational persona, it's no surprise that Barrett is outpolling her.
"That said, they are both liberal Democrats, and they would aim to be in the same place in the end."
Teachers feel Falk is tailored to them
Among the unions supporting her, there is some belief that Falk is the stronger, more substantive candidate on policy issues, with more clear, detailed plans — but that the message may not have reached the general public.
"There are differences," said Christina Brey, spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Education Association Council, which offered Falk its recommendation well before Barrett entered the race.
"To be clear," Brey said, "we also spoke to a lot of potential candidates. It was a pretty detailed process. And we feel (Falk) is the strongest candidate to recall Scott Walker.
"We looked at clarity of positions and plans, and intensity of their belief and commitment," Brey added. "We talked about priority issues to our members, such as keeping educators employed and able to bargain collectively — because when they no longer have a voice in their working conditions, that has a direct impact in the classroom."
Brey said WEAC felt the need to make an early recommendation to its members because the time frame of the recall process was so tight.
"The governor since November has been able to raise unlimited funds," she said. "We needed to get the ball rolling. The reason was largely to open the door to start talking about the issues."
And why Falk?
"Kathleen Falk has been absolutely clear in her opposition to using public tax dollars to fund private voucher schools," Brey said. "She has not wavered on union rights since the beginning. She has been strong on women's issues — and 75 percent of our workers are women.
"Also, generally, just her involvement in the grassroots movement that developed here. She's been a part of it since the beginning. It's been important to see her up front.
"We've got a clear record to look at."
To labor, Falk is the perfect anti-Walker
That view is echoed by Frank Shansky, labor relations director of Local 212 of the American Federation of Teachers, representing the Milwaukee Area Technical College.
Falk "was involved in the recall from the beginning," Shansky said. "That's not an anti-Barrett statement, just a pro-Falk statement."
Like WEAC, AFT wanted to move quickly on the recall, Shansky said.
"We interviewed her, we talked to her about a lot of different issues, and she had a very good record," he said. "She was strong relative to education, strong relative to collective bargaining, she has a strong environmental record, and as Dane County executive, she worked cooperatively with labor.
"Compared with Scott Walker, she is on the opposite end of every one of those efforts, and that is where we stand.
"That said, and all other things being equal, I can assure you — I can't stress strongly enough — the candidate who comes out ahead will have our full support.
"June 5 – that's where the focus is."
To police, Barrett is the antidote to division
Falk's list of union endorsements dwarfs Barrett's, but he did not come up empty.
A handful of unions are backing Walker, among them the Iron Workers District Council of North Central States and the Wisconsin Professional Police Association.
These unions are very strong for their size, enjoy broad-based respect, and their members are much less likely to be liberal.
The WPPA is the state's largest law enforcement group, with 10,000 members.
"Our board determined early on that we would wait for a full slate of candidates," said James Palmer, president of the WPPA. "It was important to hear from our members.
"The other unions made a rush to judgment. That was a miscalculation on the part of the unions.
"Then, some of the things Kathleen Falk did early on hurt her — particularly the unwise and narrow-minded veto decision," he added. "I don't think the general populace want someone who's in the pocket of labor unions any more than they want someone who's in the pocket of big business."
"To the grassroots, I think, a single issue makes a candidate less electable."
Electability, to the WPPA, is what it is all about, Palmer said.
"This is a calculus our board went through," he said. "Our membership feels like Scott Walker has been bad for Wisconsin, bad for public safety. We lost our right to bargain our health care. In our line of work, that's a major issue.
"Our primary goal must be that Scott Walker is defeated.
"When we looked at the four candidates, Tom Barrett was not only good on our issues but also best positioned to defeat Scott Walker."
"If you look at law enforcement officers, they are mostly conservative. Our members have been saying, and I've heard it over and over, 'I've been a lifelong Republican, and this is embarrassing. Never again.'"
The biggest difference between Falk and Barrett, Palmer said, in agreement with Marquette's McAdams, "is a distinction in style."
"Tom Barrett would use a multifaceted approach to restoring collective bargaining. That's a style that will be well-received.
"Scott Walker has been criticized for a 'My way or the highway' approach, and Kathleen Falk often sounds the same."
Local organizers just want a winner
At the grassroots level, there is little concern about any of the perceived differences between Falk and Barrett in either style or substance — but plenty of agreement that either one of them must rise to the occasion of taking on Walker and winning.
Dale Dulberger, who is active with the liberal group Grassroots Tosa said of the Democratic candidates, "On a scale of 1 to 10, I don't see too much difference on policy matters.
"Kathleen Falk had the endorsements, she's competent, she's female — and that could be important — and she balanced the budget" as Dane County executive.
"I thought she might be a potential leader, but I'm also supportive of Tom Barrett. When he ran for governor the second time, I thought he'd make a fine chief executive.
"It's understandable that with political experience at the state, federal and municipal levels, he would be seen as a better candidate for these times.
"You've got to measure people on what they've done. Tom has supported collective bargaining; so has Kathleen.
"Tom has managed the city of Milwaukee in a gentler way. But external forces and the marketplace haven't worked for him. He's done a pretty good job, but what's needed is a structural change, a Marshall Plan to rebuild this economically distressed area."
On a state level, Dulberger said, the issue is "jobs, jobs, jobs…."
Dulberger said that he had spoken recently to an acquaintance who is an out-of-state businessman, and by no means a liberal.
"He said, 'You know something is wrong when there's this much noise, this much static.'
"Whoever is elected (Tuesday), people will close ranks behind them."

FORT MILL — Nothing says local womens clubs like hogs, poker and exhaust fumes.
On Saturday the first Ride for Patriotism Poker Run and Fundraiser brings together local members of the General Federation of Womens Clubs with Loyal Order of the Moose, Rolling Thunder and county American Legion and VFW posts.
Theyll be raising money for two veteran charities, Sew Much Comfort and Canines for Veterans.
Patriotism is a word thats hardly used anymore in some places, said organizer Donna Lentell. But we still have soldiers out there and many of them are coming home with some special needs.
Lentell is involved with several groups sponsoring the event. As a first-year effort, she isnt sure whether to expect 50 or 150 riders. But she figured that post-election and so close to Veterans Day would stir interest.
I thought that would be a good time to bring it to the forefront, she said.
The ride begins and ends at the Fort Mill Moose Lodge. Stops are the VFWs and American Legion buildings in Fort Mill and Rock Hill. All riders will be out by 1 p.m. and return by 5 p.m., with a spaghetti dinner waiting. Dinner for non-riders is $6.
Cost is $15 per rider or $25 per couple. The event includes a bake sale, karaoke, door prizes and raffles. Any vehicle is welcome.
Barry Burke, state director with Rolling Thunder, said there are 126 members in the local chapter of his veteran awareness group, and about 400 statewide. He met Lentell after flying American flags from bridges in York County on Sept. 11 and agreed to help out.
Were all for veterans, Burke said. Were primarily working for Missing in Action and Prisoners of War, but were all for veterans.
One of the beneficiary groups provides custom clothing for veterans missing limbs. the other trains and provides service dogs to veterans. Burke said not all returning veterans Vietnam, for instance have been welcomed home with open arms due to unpopular fighting overseas. Hes glad to see groups honoring returnees from Iraq and Afghanistan now the way everybody shouldve been in the first place.
Shirlee Alfors, head of Womans Club of Fort Mill, said theres a statewide emphasis this year on the two groups being helped by the ride. She admits that poker runs arent the norm for her group and others like it.
We were looking for a way to get our name out to a lot of people that might not be aware of us, she said.
There are six General Federation of Womens Clubs groups just out of York County, founded from 1898 to 2010. The Fort Mill group has been meeting since 1951. By getting word out about themselves while also helping groups that provide needed services, the poker run should meet two goals in one, Alfors said.
Thats our purpose, is to make a difference in this community, she said.

The Wailers Are Coming To Walton Arts Center
Reggae legends The Wailers will make their Northwest Arkansas debut in Fayetteville in November, it was announced last week. The band, known best for its work with Bunny Wailer and late Reggae-music icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10 at the Walton Arts Center.Original member Aston Barrett remains an anchor in the band on bass guitar, and is joined by Elan Atias and Koolant Brown on lead vocals; Keith Sterling on keys; Anthony Watson on drums; Audley Chisholm on rhythm guitar; Chico Chin on trumpet; Everald Gayle on trombone; and Brady Walters and Cegee Victory on background vocals.Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, and range from $16-$28. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center box office at 479-443-5600 or by visiting waltonartscenter.org.
The Wailers Bringing Reggae To Utah
Vocalist Koolant Brown knew what he was getting into when he joined the pioneer reggae band The Wailers in 2010. The band, lead by original member Aston "Family Man" Barrett, is best known for its work with Bunny Wailer, and the two late Jamaican-music icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, has sold more than 250 million albums worldwide and have 20 charting hits, according Billboard magazine."I wasn't nervous about joining the band because I was born listening to their music and I believe that many are called but few are chosen and they chose me," Brown said during a phone interview from the band's stop in Lexington, Ky. "Even before I joined, I had been performing with many of these people, and the thing about the Wailers is they love playing these songs and I also love singing for the people."
The Original Wailers
Many people know the Wailers, aka Bob Marley and the Wailers, as that set of musicians which included Aston Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Tyrone Downie, Junior Marvin, along with the I-threes (Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths) doing backing vocals, and Bob Marley on lead vocals. This aggregation emerged in the early 1970s under the management of music mogul Chris Blackwell and eventually became the most powerful force in reggae music. But the Wailers story began long before that. On a Monday evening in late 1963, five teenagers, namely, Robert Nesta Marley, Neville O'Riley Livingstone (Bunny Wailer), Winston Hubert McIntosh (Peter Tosh), Junior Delano Brathwaite, and the lone female and confidante of the group Beverley Kelso, entered the gates of Studio1 at 13 Brentford Road, Kingston 5 with the hope of creating musical history with four songs they had in their armoury.
What Is Reggae And Where Did It Come From?
Reggae is a complex Afro-Jamaican twentieth-century musical phenomenon that has profoundly influenced global popular musical culture. As a genre of modern black cultural production, reggae music dates from the 1970s, when it emerged from the musical confluence of ska and rock steady, two forms born in early postcolonial Jamaica. As a cultural practice in Jamaican postcolonial society, reggae was closely tied to subaltern representations of slavery, colonialism, history, and Africa. As a consequence in many instances reggae became a counter-hegemonic practice critiquing the formal Jamaican Creole nationalist project of political independence.
Ska was a 1960s musical synthesis that ruptured the Jamaican musical form known as mento, which emerged from the encounter between European colonialism, racial plantation slavery, and the slave African population. Mento adapted and morphed the harmonic structures, instrumentation, and melodies of European musical styles into indigenous sounds.

Oct. 10, 2013, a Thursday night game against Columbus, doesn't figure to be a momentous game in Sabres history. But Oct. 10 is a big day in the club's early annals.
The first game in franchise history, a win at Pittsburgh, was played on Oct. 10, 1970 and the winning goal was scored by Gilbert Perreault. Check it out below (you get some bonus from the first home game a few days later against Montreal too). Always great to hear Ted Darling's voice.
On Oct. 10, 1974, the Sabres opened the season with a 9-5 win over the Boston Bruins. The first goal, just 18 seconds into the game, came by rookie Danny Gare. It was three seconds shy of the NHL mark for fastest goal by a rookie in his first game and came when he beat Bobby Orr of all people to a rebound in the crease.
If you're old enough, remember this?

We spent 2 nights here while touring Berlin. The hotel is in a little off the beaten track neighborhood with lots of older shops and apartment complexes. It's a short walk to tour bus stops and the metro is right around the corner. A good value for the location and not in the middle of the city. The hotel is nicely decorated in the lobby and restaurant. The rooms are a bit older and the furniture is typical modern, simple fare. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were a little hard, but good enough. Kind of typical for German hotels we later learned! A very large bathroom was to be had, but the shower had no walls and the entire room was tiled, so you were showering a few steps away from the toilet and sink. A drain was placed in the middle of the floor. A little odd, but we made it work. Maybe it was a handicapped room? Not sure. The hotel has an underground parking lot where we parked our rental car. Very nice feature, good security, in and out acce...

This hotel is close to the metro, restaurants, and museums. For the most part, I could walk everywhere I wanted to go, especially up to Unter den Linden. I really liked this hotel because it was quiet even with a street-side room. The room was set up with the toilet room on one side of the suite and the sink/shower room on the other. It was very convenient for us two women who needed mirrors for make-up at the same time. The staff was very gracious. I left an article of clothing in my room and when I called several days later about it, the staff knew exactly what it was and shipped it to me, with great communication about status. When I return to Berlin, I will definitely stay here again.

Location was a little bit far from the metro stop.We really enjoyed this hotel. The staff and facilities were very good. This part of Berlin is very progressive and youth oriented with many great small restaurants and unusual shops. It's a bit far from the public transport but not a bad walk.

Advice to Parents
- Be prepared for your child's - and your own - conflicting emotions as the day of departure approaches.
- Discuss academic expectations ahead of time. Encourage your daughter to set her own academic goals.
- Make a financial plan and openly discuss expectations with your child.
- Discuss expectations about communication - phone calls, e-mails and letters.
- Discuss use of alcohol and other lifestyle choices your daughter will have to make, but don't give lectures.
- If you take your child to school, don't expect to spend a lot of time together. Orientation is designed to foster separation.
- Be a coach rather than a rescuer: encourage your daughter to use the resources at college. Learn what the academic and personal support services are. Keep the parents' handbook and materials from orientation in an accessible place.
- Don't make major changes at home without informing your daughter.
- Be an anchor. Listen with an open mind and be supportive.
- Keep in touch; write/send care packages.

The Pella Chronicle
---- — Pella picked up where they left off in 2012.
Last year the Dutch produced an overall record of 18-3-1 and qualified for the state tournament.
Many top players have graduated, but coach Mark Solomon is picking up where they left off, with a solid season opening win over Des Moines North 1-0 at home last Thursday evening.
In the first night of competition following a long and cold winter the Dutch slipped past the Polar Bears.
Coach Solomon replied, "Conditions were chilly and calm, but it was a fine night for soccer. Pella opened up dominating the possession in the first half, but North countered with very sharp passes and fast movement off the ball. Pella worked to keep up with the pressure. In the 12th minute of the match, a dangerous play was called on North for a high kick to the face that sent Pella defender Will Warner out for much of the game."
Solomon added, "The foul resulted in a direct for Pella only 25 yards from the North goal. Anthony Bentzinger connected off the deflection from that kick, and put Pella up 1-0 with 28 minutes left to play in the first half."
Pella continued to produce opportunities to score, included was a missed penalty kick from a foul in the box, but they weren't able to add any more goals.
Up Next
The Dutch will host Fairfield tonight (Thursday) starting at 5:30 in the JV-Varsity affair.
Saturday the Dutch head to Waukee for tournament action.

- Place flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add the cottage cheese. Continue processing until the dough comes together. Divide dough into four equal portions and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out each portion of dough on a floured surface to an 1/8 inch thick circle. Spread 1 tablespoon of raspberry spreadable fruit, then sprinkle with the sugar mixture and 1/4 cup of pecans on each circle. Gently press the filling into the dough using a rolling pin. Cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll each wedge, starting with the wide end Place the cookie point-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

This is the recipe I've also had and it is so easy. The results are great. I've filled mine with nutella, honey cinnamon & walnuts, apricot preserves. That is 3 separate batches not all on one! Get creative, but keep the filling thin or it will ooze and stick. Glad I have an easy place to find this now, instead of digging through my index card recipes!
Enjoyed this recipe. The dough, though insanely sitcky so use flour on all surfaces, was gorgeous. It was so silky and smooth. I think the filling overpowered the dough a little, but still delicious. Might try it again with a lighter preserve like an orange or lemon. I also wonder if the dough could be used for savory recipes since it contains no sugar? Might have to experiment with that. Also: Would be fun to make with kids if you dont mind washing sticky fingers afterward. The construction part is like making little pizzas. Very enjoyable.

210. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflesPVDSHOI Nov 11, 2011 12:20 PM (in response to el2kay)
It's like you didn't read what I wrote; I don't mind being sniped - I don't mind being sniped up close either - as long as the sniper can actually see me in his scope or shoots me from the hip. I loathe the c**** who are taking advantage of a broken, flawed feature! It's not because it hurts my ego or my killstreak, but it ruins the game for everyone who happens to actually takes it seriously. In short, it hurts the multiplayer experience!
211. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflesxxstargatexx Nov 11, 2011 12:46 PM (in response to ifrerkinbr4di)
Up until now I have kind of put up with quick scopers in all forms of C.O.D I will just leave that lobby and find another, one that hasn't got any q.scopers, but, it has become increasingly hard to do so.the last two times I have been killed in MW3 by a quick scoper have been whilst they have been RUNNING, then came accross me from a distance no greater than aprox. 50 metres, quick scoped and I'm dead, nowthen, on the killcam, it appeared that the shot had missed me, I can't explain that, and I don't want to go down the road of guesses or assumptions.
What I do want, is for these guys to at least stop quick scoping in close combat, it is totally unrealistic, and I think that it is those situations that are perhaps making guys a little more angry each time, I mean, try it in real life, you cannot possibly run around, pick up that sniper rifle, aim (properly, in the right spot) on a moving object, in those battle environments, i.e 50 metres away and both of you running, it's just not possible.
The sniper rifle was invented for, and is used for, middle to long distance "Sniping" not quick scoping like it was an UMP .45 or an M16

213. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflesnuttin2say Nov 12, 2011 2:11 AM (in response to WarEmblem27)
You're right. This is a simulation game, not real life.
But the overwhelming majority of players enjoy the fact that they can RELATE to most everything in the game. For example, a portable auto-turret that magically knows the difference between a good guy and a bad guy isn't REALISTIC but knowing there are auto-turret style canons on ships, people can relate to a sentry gun.
I'd ask if you can see the difference, but even if you could, you'd say it doesn't matter.
214. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflesRbKiLLa Nov 12, 2011 3:11 AM (in response to ifrerkinbr4di)
Quick scoping is extremely easy in this game, I have nvr quickscoped before but I decided try it yday and It was so easy >.> They really should tone that down little.
Also type 95 is annoying too
215. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflestooros Nov 12, 2011 3:24 AM (in response to RbKiLLa)
It's a joke. I played a match last night and the entire opposition was running around QSing.
I found myself open mouthed watching the killcams.
Seriously - a OHK anywhere, other than a foot, with an assist. Are you kidding me?
Black ops had snipers right.
I, like many others, have Elite for a year and it's not going to last that long unless something is done about this. But Treyarch's after sale support is so much better than IW's that I'm not holding my breath (a bit like 99% of the snipers in MW3 obviously.)
216. Re: Petition to remove aim assist from sniper riflesobzi Nov 12, 2011 10:56 AM (in response to ifrerkinbr4di)
For me the bottom line is I don't mind getting killed by anyone who is better than me, more skilled then me, etc but with QS in MW3 just like some of the OP guns this isn't happening. I'm not against quickscoping but I want it to be a skill, not an easy ride.

1. Senior quarterback Joe Southwick tossed nine touchdowns and no interceptions in the final four games last season.
2. He looked just as sharp through the offseason, tossing three picks in fall camp.
3. Hes got a tremendous command of what were doing, coach Chris Petersen said.
4. The Broncos are 58-7 the past five times theyve had a senior starting QB, dating to Bart Hendricks in 2000.
5. Theyre 51-2 the past four times theyve had a returning starter at QB, dating to Jared Zabransky in 2006.
6. The offensive line features three seniors and two sophomores a mix of veteran savvy and young athleticism.
7. Senior center Matt Paradis was the only All-Mountain West first-teamer on the Broncos offense last year.
8. The Broncos ran for 200 yards six times last season.
9. But they topped out at 116 rushing yards against four stingy defenses Michigan State (37), BYU (116), San Diego State (112) and Washington (109).
10. They were 2-2 in those games.
11. We dont have a goal of a number of yards per game, Paradis said. Last year, we had some games where wed do really well, some games where it was not as good. Whenever we want, we want to be able to run the ball. Thats the main goal.
12. Sophomore wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes could be the most exciting player on the team.
13. Williams-Rhodes has developed into a complete wide receiver after filling a specialty role last year.
14. Hell catch passes as a slot receiver, probably carry the ball on sweeps, return punts and kickoffs.
15. Hes 5-6, 157 pounds the shortest player on the team.
16. The things he did last year, Petersen said, were expecting to really build on it.
17. Junior wide receiver Matt Miller has 128 catches tied for 12th most at the school.
18. The record is 229, by Austin Pettis.
19. Miller is on pace for 256.
20. Senior wide receiver Kirby Moore quietly has made 79 catches in his career, including a career-high 36 last year.
21. This is the last of seven straight years with a Moore brother on the roster. Kellen joined the team as a quarterback in 2007.
22. The X-factor for the offense is the senior wide receiver tandem of Geraldo Boldewijn and Aaron Burks.
23. They have combined for 77 career catches at an average of 13.7 yards per catch.
24. They might make that many catches this year alone.
25. Boldewijn ran the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, flew 10 feet, 11 inches in the broad jump and hopped 38 inches in the vertical in spring testing.
26. Burks ran 4.28 (second on the team), matched Boldewijns team-best 10-11 in the broad and soared a team-best 43 inches in the vertical.
27. Boldewijn is 6-4, Burks is 6-3.
28. The stage is set for those guys to take the next step, Petersen said, and if they do, itll take this pass game to the next level.
29. The Broncos plethora of wide receiver options could disguise another threat.
30. Senior tight end Gabe Linehan caught five touchdown passes two years ago before missing most of last season with a hamstring injury.
31. Sophomore tight end Holden Huff caught two TD passes in the MAACO Bowl.
32. Thats a lot of options in the pass game.
33. But the Broncos should be able to run it, too.
34. Sophomore tailback Jay Ajayi averaged 6.7 yards per carry last season.
35. He has a bruising running style and surprising speed for a 220-pound back.
36. Hes really going to be a nice workhorse for us, Southwick said in the spring.
37. Robert Prince returns as the offensive coordinator.
38. Prince, Southwick and QB coach Jonathan Smith were in new roles last year.
39. Prince was the third offensive coordinator in three years. Smith was the third quarterbacks coach in three years.
40. Its been a revolving door the last couple years, Southwick said. This offseason has been spectacular.
