Fall greeting from our beautiful mountain. The air is cool and crisp and we have already had our first snowfall of a couple of inches. What a beautiful time of year.
We are completely decorated for Christmas as is the entire mountain. Sewanee did their usual over the top decorating for their Lessons and Carols program this past weekend. Monteagle does a wonderful job all along Main Street with white lights every year.
The fire is warming hearts in the Living Room and Christmas Carols fill the air. The scent of pine finds you and rejuvenates your memories of joyous Christmas past.
Jim Harmon, Lee Green and all of your friends @ Monteagle Inn & Retreat Center"Escape to our Treasure, Treasure your Escape"

Greeting from our beautiful mountain which is still enjoying colorful fall foliage.
We are just back from our wonderful trip to Italy with new art, fresh food and wine ideas. We visited with some of our old artist friends and met some new ones who we established a relationship and brought home some beautiful watercolors and oils. We were able to visit wineries and meet the owners and sample some outstanding wines which we will feature in our December and January wine events. And the food we sampled from Venice to Tuscany to Rome was extraordinary. Thank goodness we did a lot of walking to prepare us for the next food and wine adventure.

Greetings from your friends enjoying a spectacular Fall on the mountain.
Due to our mixture of dry and rainy spells we are blessed with a long developing fall with a kaleidoscope of colors. The weather could not be more perfect with beautiful warm days and cool nights. As the leaves change and fall from their branches, the vistas really open up to showcase the beauty of our mountain for you. We are busy planning several events for the next few months and wanted to give you enough notice to be able to schedule an excuse to escape to the mountain.
September 14, 2011
August was a fun and exciting month for us. Sewanee students returned for another year of fun and learning. Our cool mountain experienced some of the heat which hit most of the South. We were still cooler, just up a notch. We had the opportunity to visit with a number of wonderful guests.
The heat we experienced in August combined with the lack of rain has hastened the fall changing of colors. We hiked the Shakerag Hollow trail yesterday and were surprised at the leaves already starting to change. I expect the majority of the changing of colors to happen in September this year, not in October as usual.
Come relax with us and enjoy the cooler weather and changing of seasons.
Due to repeated request from our guests, we are opening a Cigar Lounge this month. In reality, we are offering cigars to be enjoyed outside, perhaps with a glass of wine. We will have a dozen or so of very nice cigars for those guests who want to partake in an area that does not offend any other guests. We just got back from Tampa where we met with the Fuente family to get their input into our Cigar Lounge and purchased some cigars only sold at their facility in Tampa, Flor De Ybor City.
We had another Italian Pottery and Art sale and shared some of our treasures with smart buyers. These have proven so popular, we plan to have them more often. The next one is scheduled for September 30th thru October 2nd. Being a dealer for Vietri has really broadened our selections.
The Marion County Chamber of Commerce presented us with the "Best Small Business of the Year" award at their annual dinner. Not only were we very honored but also very surprised, especially since we were not a member of their Chamber. We are now!
Our Italian Wine Tasting at Tallulah's Wine Lounge was a big hit and the Ante Pasta Platter was amazing even by our standards. We will have a wine tasting on Saturday, September 24th featuring the wines from Fredrick Wildman and Sons presented by their Regional Manager. Not only are the wines outstanding, the education will be wonderful also. Make plans to attend as the tasting is limited to 25 guests. Speaking of Tallulah's, it has become quite a sensation and provided another special time for our guests and the public. Our wine collection is about 300 different wines at very affordable prices. We are closer to retail than restaurant pricing.
Greeting from the Mountain Top!

Greetings from our beautiful mountain!
The 4th of July weekend was a very special one this year because Monteagle & Sewanee held their parades and day long festivities on two different days. This allowed everyone on the mountain to enjoy a long weekend of fun and Americana at its best. The weather was perfect for all of the activities spread over the mountain.
June 20, 2011
Greetings from your friends on the Mountain!
We have been blessed with some glorious weather and the flowers and herbs are really responding. The vegetable gardens have been planted and are using the sunshine to really develop quickly.
May 4, 2011
April was a very busy and fun month at the Inn. Among a number of fun events, we hosted the Wine & Wildflowers celebration during the Trails & Trilliums Weekend. We had a record turnout of about 200 guests enjoying themselves and introduced a silent auction. The silent auction and the corporate sponsorship of the event by Lodge Manufacturing Company raised over $3,000 for Friends of the South Cumberland.
March 31, 2011
Greetings from the Mountain where Spring is trying to arrive in full force.
We are scrambling to get the vegetables, herbs and flowers going so that we may enjoy them in our meals. The reworked gardens look beautiful.
April is an exciting month for us with lots of activities for you to enjoy.
March 3, 2011
Greetings from your friends @ Monteagle Inn & Retreat Center, your favorite Bed & Breakfast.
We think that Spring is around the corner; the daffodils are sprouting and more green buds are appearing. We are remaking our herb and vegetable garden borders with bricks and stones recovered from a home being torn down across the street. The original design from 2002 with a wood border is being restored and highlighted. The veggies and herbs are being planted and will be used in our kitchen by month end. Yum, Yum!
We are excited to announce our Wine Lounge is opening April 1st. We will be serving a number of wines by the glass, featuring delicious small plates and appetizers with monthly wine specials. Come check it out and see our expanded wine list. I guarantee you will find some treasures you like.
February 4, 2011
We have had a very busy January implementing numerous upgrades for your comfort and enjoyment. Our newly added curved shower rods, accompanied by waterfall showerheads, give you a better way to enjoy your luxurious showers.
The new floors look fantastic. We went back with a much lighter stain and it really accents the warm wood. The new kitchen has all stainless steel and a new floor. It is more modern and efficient.
To enhance our great room, we added a new 47" LED flat screen TV for your viewing enjoyment as well as keeping the existing Sony 36". And to keep up with technology, we have added iPod/iPhone docking stations for your enjoyment. We upgraded the art throughout most of the inn and put new fresh drapes in several of the rooms.
Come join us in February for great times and experience our upgrades. We are a "better way to stay" on the mountain!
January 18, 2011
Greetings from your friends at Monteagle Inn & Retreat Center
Greetings from the mountain and lots of snow! The snow is beautiful but there is so much of it. The good news is that our renovation is on schedule.
Our staff and contractors braved well over a foot of snow to get to the Inn and keep it running and work on the renovation. The new floors are going to be beautiful!
We will have lots of new surprises for you on your next visit, both small & large.

|WBB Preview: Northern Kentucky
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - The UNCW women's basketball team concludes its three-game road swing Thursday with a 7 p.m. contest versus Northern Kentucky.
Seahawk Storylines
►Thursday's game marks the first meeting between UNCW and Northern Kentucky. The Seahawks have compiled an all-time mark of 3-2 against current members of the Atlantic Sun Conference and are playing their first game against an A-Sun opponent since the 2002-03 season.
►UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris will coach her 100th collegiate game on Thursday. Just eight games into her Seahawk coaching career, Harris spent three seasons (2009-12) at Tusculum College (Tenn.) prior to taking over the UNCW program last May. She has amassed a career record of 62-37 (.626) heading into tonight's contest.
►Thursday's game will feature a reunion of sorts as former Tusculum College (Tenn.) teammates Chelsea McGowen (UNCW) and Ellen Holton (NKU) will meet on the floor for the first time since helping current UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris and the Pioneers advance to the Elite Eight of the 2009-10 NCAA Division II Tournament.
►The UNCW women's basketball program is in its 40th season of competition and has compiled an all-time record of 458-568 (.446). The Seahawks have recorded four 20-wins seasons (1983-84, 2002-03, 2010-11, 2011-12) and made two postseason appearances (WNIT: 2011 & 2012) in that span.
►Senior Karneshia Garrett will look to continue her solid play on the glass during the early part of the season as she enters Tuesday's contest leading the CAA and ranking 14th in the nation in rebounds per game (11.8). Garrett has grabbed double-digit rebounds in five of eight games this season, highlighted by a pair of 18-rebound performances at Wake Forest (Nov. 14) and against North Carolina Central (Nov. 28).
►Sophomore transfer Kelva Atkins leads the Seahawks in both scoring (11.4) and assists (2.4). Atkins, who ranks sixth in the CAA in field goal percentage (.476), has scored in double figures in four of the last five games, including a season-high 20 points in UNCW's matchup with Charlotte on Dec. 5.
►The Seahawks are in the midst of a challenging non-conference slate in as seven of their 11 non-league opponents in 2012-13 qualified for postseason competition last season, including NCAA Tournament participants Liberty, Northern Kentucky and West Virginia. In addition, nine of those teams won 15 or more contests, with six of those teams - Liberty, Northern Kentucky, Richmond, Tulane, Wake Forest and West Virginia - all reaching the 20-win milestone.
Xavier Recap
UNCW moved to 1-7 on the season with a 62-52 loss at Xavier on Tuesday.
►The Musketeers took advantage of 26 second-chance points and a 53-34 rebounding advantage to record the 10-point victory over the Seahawks.
►Both teams shot less than 40 percent from the floor as UNCW was 22-of-61 (.361) while Xavier finished 23-of-67 (.343).
►Both teams committed fewer than 10 turnovers as UNCW was charged with a season-low eight turnovers while Xavier committed just nine miscues.
►UNCW recorded double-figure assists for the fourth time this season as it dished out 11 assists.
►Xavier finished the game with 19 offensive rebounds. 16 of the Musketeers 32 points came in the second half came off second-chance opportunities.
►The Musketeers posted a 36-24 advantage in points in the paint, highlighted by an 18-8 edge in the second half.
►UNCW notched a season-high eight blocked shots, breaking previous season high of five set against Liberty on Dec. 8.
►The 16 points scored by the Seahawks in the first half represented a season low in that category, breaking the old mark of 21, set against West Virginia on Nov. 9.
►The Seahawks five free throws made matched the season low for the Seahawks in that category while UNCW's eight free throw attempts were a season low.
►The 53 rebounds by Xavier represented a season high for rebounds by a UNCW opponent. The previous season high was 50, established by Liberty on Dec. 8.
►Freshman Dana Brown paced the Seahawks with 11 points, nine of which came in the second half.
►Sophomore Kelva Atkins reached double figures in points for the fourth time in five games, chipping in 10 points.
►Senior Karneshia Garrett grabbed double-figure rebounds for the fifth time this season as she finished with 12 boards. She also posted a career-high four blocked shots.
Scouting Northern Kentucky
►In its first season of competition at the Division I level, Northern Kentucky is off to a 2-6 start to the 2012-13 season following a 66-56 home setback to Butler on Sunday.
►The Norse has excelled in The Bank of Kentucky Center, compiling a 53-8 mark in four-plus seasons in the 9,400-seat facility, including a 1-1 mark this season.
►Senior forward Tiara Hopper serves as the focal point of the NKU lineup, pacing the squad in both scoring (10.8) and rebounding (7.0).
►Junior Kayla Thacker (10.8) and freshman Christine Roush (10.4) have given the Norse three double-figure scorers in the early going.
►Senior Jaimie Hamlet and freshman Rianna Gayheart have dished out 20 assists apiece to highlight a balanced NKU lineup that already has seen six players reach the double-figure assists total this season.
►The Norse is coached by Dawn Plitzuweit, who is in her first season with the program. Plitzuweit took over the reins of the NKU program in May after five seasons as the associate head coach at Michigan.
Series Notes Versus Northern Kentucky
Thursday's contest marks the first meeting between UNCW and Northern Kentucky.
Youth movement
According to research conducted by the athletic communications department at St. John's University, UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris is one of the youngest Division I head coaches in the country.
►Harris is the 10th youngest head coach in the nation based on birth date, having celebrated her 32nd birthday on May 1, just two days before accepting the head coaching position at UNCW.
►Harris is the youngest coach in the CAA, but not the youngest in the state of North Carolina. That honor goes to High Point Head Coach DeUnna Hendrix. The 28-year-old is in her first season as head coach of the Panthers.
Half-Dollar Defense
The Seahawks are 53-0 since the start of the 2002-03 campaign when limiting the opposition to 50 points or less.
►UNCW held its first opponent to 50 points or less during the Adell Harris era with a 59-45 victory over North Carolina Central on Nov. 28. The win also marked the first time the Seahawks had limited its opposition to fewer than 50 points since a 76-47 victory at Towson on Feb. 24, 2011.
►The last time the Seahawks lost a game in which they held their opponent to less than 50 points was a 49-44 setback at rival Campbell on Nov. 17, 2001.
Interstate 70
UNCW is 69-8 (.896) since the start of the 2000-01 campaign when it scores 70 or more points in a contest.
►The Seahawks were 10-1 in 2011-12 and are 23-2 since the start of the 2010-11 season when reaching the 70-point plateau.
►UNCW's last loss when scoring 70 or more points came in a 79-73 setback to Appalachian State in the first round of the Postseason WNIT last March.
Getting Off To a Good Start important for UNCW
The Seahawks are 68-18 (.791) since the start of the 2007-08 season when leading at halftime.
►UNCW is 1-1 this season when holding a halftime advantage. The Seahawks one loss under such circumstances came in a 63-58 setback to Charlotte on Dec. 5, a game in which they led the 49ers, 25-24, at the break.
►On the flip side, the Seahawks are just 20-57 (.260) since 2007-08 when trailing at intermission. UNCW has lost all five games in which it has been behind at halftime this season.
Double-Digit Dominance
UNCW has benefitted from building big leads in recent years as it is a combined 68-5 (.931) since the start of the 2007-08 season when it holds a lead of 10 points or more during a contest.
►The Seahawks are 1-0 this season under such circumstances. The last time UNCW lost a game in which it led by 10 points or more came in a 63-54 setback to Eastern Michigan in the second round of the Postseason WNIT on March 21, 2011. In that game, the Seahawks lead by as many as 13 before falling by nine to the Eagles.
►The Seahawks have struggled to overcome big deficits in that same timeframe, posting an 11-65 (.145) mark during games in which they have trailed by 10 points or more. Eight of those 11 victories, however, have come since the start of the 2010-11 season.
Freeman, Lee Making Their Way Up school's Three-Point Chart
Senior Tawanna Lee and redshirt junior Jessica Freeman are both making their way up the school's career three-point field goals made chart.
►Freeman currently sits in 11th place on the all-time list with 77 three-pointers made while Lee is 15th with 60 triples converted in her career.
►The duo are just three and 20 three-pointers away from matching Katy Walters for 10th place on the school's career three-point field goals made list (79).
►Both players have been consistent from beyond the arc during their careers as Freeman and Lee are tied for sixth on the squad's chart for career three-point field goal percentage (.341). Freeman led the league in three-point field goal percentage last season (.414), while Lee was second on the squad (.336) in that category.
Harris, McGowen Reunited
When UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris took over the Seahawks program last May, she was already familiar with one player on her new roster from her time at Tusculum College.
►Harris coached current UNCW senior Chelsea McGowen at Tusculum during the 2009-10 season.
►Together the duo combined to lead the Pioneers to a 23-10 overall record, the South Atlantic Conference Tournament championship and an appearance in the NCAA Elite Eight.
►McGowen averaged 2.1 points and 1.7 rebounds during her freshman season before transferring to Brunswick Community College for the 2011-12 campaign.
Seahawks Tabbed Seventh, Garrett Preseason Honorable Mention
UNCW was picked to finish seventh overall during the upcoming 2012-13 season and senior forward Karneshia Garrett was a Honorable Mention Preseason All-CAA selection.
►The Seahawks and George Mason were selected to finish seventh in a vote of the league's 11 head coaches, ahead of Towson, William & Mary and Georgia State.
►Delaware was picked to repeat as regular-season champion while James Madison was tabbed to finish second. Hofstra was picked third, followed by Drexel, Old Dominion, Northeastern, UNCW and George Mason (tie), Towson and William & Mary (tie) and Georgia State.
►Garrett earned Honorable Mention Preseason All-CAA accolades after appearing in 32 games and making 21 starts during her first season with the program in 2011-12. She averaged 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds while pacing the team with six double-doubles.
Up Next
The Seahawks will take a 10-day break for the Christmas holiday before returning to action Dec. 30 with a 2 p.m. matinee against former CAA foe Richmond at Trask Coliseum.

In 1967, Walker House published de Kooning Drawings, part of a series of illustrated books devoted to various aspects of art history. As you can see, the cover is relatively simple, consisting of a reproduction of Willem de Kooning's signature and the word "drawings" in the lower right. Inside, readers are presented with facsimile reproductions of twenty-four figure drawings executed in charcoal in 1966. I'm not at all surprised that the publishers decided to do a book featuring a selection of drawings by this pioneering Abstract Expressionist. An artist who viewed drawing as part and parcel of the creative process, Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) drew incessantly throughout his career, creating highly animated works that stand out for their spontaneity, fluidity and lack of finish. As the art historian Paul Cummings has pointed out, his drawings were part of "the process of evolving a vocabulary of images and strokes to be used in the paintings. The painterliness inherent in his manner of using charcoal can be observed in the way he pushes tones and the emphatic, dark, defining lines" ("The Drawings of Willem de Kooning" in Willem de Kooning: Drawings, Paintings, Sculpture, 1983, 22).

One more prominent Republican is taking a pass on North Carolinas much-watched U.S. Senate race in 2014, but the field of challengers remains far from settled.
State Senate leader Phil Berger announced Monday he will not make a bid to challenge Democrat Kay Hagan, ending weeks of speculation about his political intentions that threatened to scramble the states political balance.
In the final analysis, the decision I made was, now is just not the right time, the Eden Republican said in an interview. I feel like weve initiated a number of things at the state level that I want to see further along before I move on to something else.
The Senate president pro tems bypass avoids a showdown with House Speaker Thom Tillis, the highest-ranking Republican in the current four-way race. The two GOP leaders appeared to be jockeying for an edge in the recently finished legislative session, and the possibility that they would face off in a GOP primary threatened to color most state policy decisions.
Two other candidates Greg Brannon of Cary and Heather Grant of Wilkesboro also seek their partys nomination. The Rev. Mark Harris, a Charlotte pastor and president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, is expected to make his candidacy official Oct. 2.
I still think the race is fluid on the Republican side, and in my view a front-runner has yet to emerge, said Marc Rotterman, a GOP media consultant who is not working for any campaign. I dont think a candidate has emerged yet that the base says, Yes, I will follow you over the hill.
Support for Brunstetter
Berger said he considered Tillis candidacy in making his decision, but he declined to elaborate. The field is obviously something that you look at, he said.
In making his announcement, Berger declined to support his legislative colleague. The two GOP leaders who once professed a close working relationship tangled in the most recent legislative session, and Bergers potential candidacy was seen as a rebuke of Tillis, whose rocky campaign rollout raised early questions about his viability.
Berger, who is seen as a strong conservative, was expected to draw support from the far right of his party, including those aligned with the tea party. Such a motivated constituency could prove vital in a low-turnout primary election.
The announcement breathes some sighs of relief in the Tillis camp, said Michael Bitzer, a Catawba College political watcher. But Tillis has still got to be worried about social conservatives and whether they start looking at someone like Harris.
Paul Shumaker, a consultant for the Tillis campaign, said no single candidate could settle the race at this point. North Carolina is a big state, and it takes a lot to get ready for a campaign, he said, suggesting Tillis, who launched his bid in May, holds the advantage. Right now, it is about building the financial resources it takes to run a race in North Carolina.
One wild card remaining in the race is state Sen. Pete Brunstetter, a Winston-Salem Republican and Berger lieutenant. Brunstetter said Monday he is still taking some time to access the race both personally and politically, but he doesnt intend to wait long.
Berger said he would endorse Brunstetter if he decides to run. If the Senate budget writer doesnt enter the race, Berger declined to say whom hed support.
But, he allowed, I think Kay Hagan is very vulnerable, and its a race Republicans should be able to win.
Torn about prospects
Elected in 2008, Hagan is seeking a second term, and her bid is being closely watched by national parties and outside political groups who are likely to divert millions of dollars and much attention to the race. It is expected to be one of the most competitive in the nation in 2014 and possibly help decide partisan control in the U.S. Senate.
Berger flirted with a bid for months, and recent moves suggested he would enter the race. He spent $100,000 to run a television ad that attacked Hagan for not supporting a voter ID requirement like the one the GOP pushed into law earlier this year. He also questioned her stance on Syria.
He delayed several self-imposed deadlines to make a decision, indicating that he remained torn about his prospects and giving up his role as arguably the states most powerful lawmaker.
The hesitation, he said Monday, reflected his full appreciation of the U.S. Senate race, a campaign that would require a challenger to raise nearly $10 million and spend the next 13 months aggressively campaigning. Berger indicated he gave a bid serious thought, making calls around the state to solicit input. Berger said he heard plenty of support either way.
Some people were saying while they would support me if I ran, they felt that staying in the N.C. Senate was important particularly given the posture that we have with a number of the initiatives that weve started, he said.
Berger said he wants to watch major shifts to the states tax code, education system and state budget unfold all areas he said need more work in coming legislative sessions.

How do you get from the New Milford Village apartments to Broadway? Well, if you ask Rob McClure, class of 2000, he'll tell you it's by way of .
This coming spring McClure is bringing Chaplin to Broadway in a role he created at the La Jolla Playhouse in California. Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin is a musical based on the life of Charlie Chaplin and reveals the story of the man behind the camera.
And it all began on the stage at New Milford High School.
In the eighth grade McClure auditioned for the High School's production of Bye Bye Birdie, got the part, but turned it down. "I was playing in a state golf tournament and I chose to do that instead of the musical because I wanted to become a professional golfer," McClure said in a phone interview.
However, he did take a part in Anything Goes his freshman year.
It was also during his freshman year that McClure discovered the Bergen County Players. He auditioned for Sweeney Todd, didn't get the role, but he was so taken by the surprise ending that every weekend he rode his bike to the Little Firehouse Theater in Oradell and bought a $12 ticket to watch the audience watch the show.
"I already knew the ending, but I wanted to see the audience's reaction. I was amazed by how these performers could manipulate the audience with their acting."
Knowing that he wanted to pursue theater, and looking to make money in the meantime, McClure took a part-time job at "The Bagel Factory" from 4 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. so that he could go to theater auditions and rehearsals in the afternoons. It was from behind the counter in the early hours of the morning where he created songs about the customers and the goings-on at the bagel store, and shared them with his friends at school.
"I'd go to work, go to school, then go to an audition or play rehearsal."
In his sophomore year, the school's musical Hello Dolly, was entered into the Paper Mill Playhouse's Rising Star Awards, established to recognize "exceptional accomplishments" in high school musical theater, and McClure was nominated for best supporting actor for his role as Cornelius. He didn't win that year, but during his senior year he won the "Rising Star Scholarship" for his performance in Where's Charley? The scholarship allowed him to attend the Paper Mill Playhouse Summer Conservatory.
Shortly after graduation, the Paper Mill Playhouse offered McClure a role in Carousel.
After that, McClure did the Paper Mill Playhouse's production of I'm Not Rappaport appearing alongside Judd Hirsch and Ben Vereen. When the show went to Broadway, he went with it and got his Actor's Equity card.
However, he found that once he got his equity card it was harder to find work because there's a lot of very talented 20 year olds who are much cheaper to hire than one with an equity card. "I had a Broadway credit, but I couldn't get an agent," he remarked.
So, McClure returned home to New Milford High School where he directed the musicals from 2003 to 2006 and attended Montclair State University.
"I learned more about the theater by directing at New Milford High School than anywhere else. You're not only director, you're set designer, choreographer, lighting designer, fund raiser...you name it. I especially learned about commaraderie. It's a real testament to the arts at New Milford High School."
Having to wear so many hats, McClure learned to appreciate the people behind the scenes who get things done so that the show can go on. "I make it a point to know the name of every stage hand," McClure said.
After being unable to get the rights to perform Beauty and the Beast (because NMHS is too close in proximity to the Broadway production) McClure's former high school wood shop teacher, who was also the producer of the musicals, asked him, "Why don't we do the bagel show you thought up in high school?"
"I never considered it more than a collection of songs, but he encouraged me to turn it into a show." And so the musical comedy The Bagel Factory was born.
"Peter Filichia from TheaterMania came and gave us this amazing review. He came backstage and told the kids it was the best high school show he'd ever seen."
After leaving NMHS McClure accepted a series of roles on the road where he met his wife, actress Maggie Lakis. Ultimately, he landed in Philadelphia where he discovered that there was a thriving theater community. "I no sooner moved to Philadelphia, lined up work, when I got a role in Avenue Q."
McClure decided to give the Phili-NY commute a try. "Not only did I not hate it, I loved it. And what's amazing is that the monthly Amtrak pass, plus our mortgage on a four-bedroom house, is less than what my friends are paying in rent for a one-bedroom in New York."
Avenue Q was "life changing" for McClure. Not only was he in the Broadway production, but he was a part of the first national tour.
McClure recently recieved the prestigious Barrymore Award for his role in The Flea and the Professor at the Arden Theatre Company in Philidelphia.
McClure credits New Milford High School and its strong commitment to the arts for leading him where he is today, which is why he feels passionately that the arts should not be cut from school programs.
"The arts are not a cutable extracurricular activity. It's a career path; a potential way for people to make a living and it must always be encouraged."

Discovered At: Knox Mason (131 S. Gay St. 865-544-2004)
Mixed By: Robert Stevens
Roasted red apple
Orange bitters
Brown sugar
Weller 107 Bourbon
What makes it special?
Apples. It's all about the apples in this drink, which, naturally enough, taste like an apple—and a mighty fine one at that. Robert the barkeep draws a spoonful of apple from what looks like a little Mason jar—the apples are roasted and mashed, but not obliterated into sauce—and he muddles it with a little brown sugar and cherry. The apple flavor is ascendant and makes a beautiful pairing with the vanilla-scented Weller 107. Overall, the drink is smooth, not too sweet, and approachable for the novice, but it's also a nice, new interpretation for the jaded.

San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro joined former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour this week to kick off the Civil Rights Summit in Austin and to discuss the topic of immigration as a civil rights issue.
Castro told the crowd that a reform of the United States immigration system will enhance civil rights by bringing people out of the shadows, creating situations where immigrants aren't afraid to report crimes, send their kids to school and get the care they need for their families.
Blindness affects millions of Americans, but is still an uncommon disability. Stephen Kuusisto was born with retinas that weren't fully developed and were damaged further by an overly oxygenated incubator. He underwent several surgeries as a child but was never able to gain much sight, describing his vision as "like looking at a Jackson Pollock painting."
Now a celebrated author, poet, and professor of disability studies, he teaches the awareness he hoped to achieve in his two memoirs, "Planet of the Blind" and "Eavesdropping: A Memoir of Blindness and Listening."
Padre Island National Seashore has reopened its beaches after cleanup of the oil spill that made its way from Galveston to the southern coastline.
But farther up the coast, government agencies and volunteers are still struggling to clean up the oil that settled in at Matagorda Island, while protecting its wildlife.
It's been more than two weeks since a barge in the Houston Ship Channel spilled 168,000 gallons of oil into Galveston Bay. It took a while for the oil to drift southward to the pristine beaches that draw more than 300 bird species each spring.
This week the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin is celebrating the Civil Rights Act of 1964. There will be discussions about the progress of civil rights issues through the course of the week and those discussions begin with gay rights.
From the original 1964 Civil Rights Act signing, President Lyndon Baines Johnson said:
"My fellow Americans, I'm about to sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I want to talk to you about what that law means to every American." -- LBJ
Phanie Diaz and Jenn Alva, two-thirds of the power-punk alternative trio Girl In A Coma, want to emphasize that their new project, FEA, doesn't mean the popular San Antonio-based band is breaking up. But with singer (and Phanie's sister) Nina Diaz embarking on a solo record, Alva (bass) and Diaz (drums) felt the time was right to flex their creative muscles.
Syphilis rates in Bexar County jumped 15 percent, crossing the thousand person mark in 2013, according to the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District. District officials are calling it an "epidemic" and have been edging up continuously for nine years. San Antonio has the highest rate in Texas and exceeds the national average.
Thousands of San Antonio kids are ending up in adult courtrooms over "Failure to Attend School" (FTAS) violations. In 2012, a third of all class C misdemeanors filed against minors were FTAS in Texas. The state saw 76,000 cases in courts that year, according to Texas Appleseed.
The Better Business Bureau is cautioning consumers about a new scam designed to capture the attention of those following the developing Malaysian Airlines flight 370 story.
The BBB reports the scam is turning up on social media, mainly Facebook and Twitter, and requires the user to click on a link to get the latest on the missing plane.
Cesar Alvarado in San Antonio, the regional public relations director for the BBB, said the process is known as "clickjacking" – using compelling information to get a user to click on something they otherwise might ignore.
A select number of Texas senators heard from groups operating along the Texas-Mexico border this week. This group of lawmakers is looking ahead of the 2015 legislative session for the possibility of increasing the state budget for border security.
Lawmakers seated on the Texas Senate Committee on Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Homeland Security heard from Col. Steve McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, about their operations along the border.
As everyone searches for answers to the Fort Hood shooting, the psychiatric community explores the reasons for the shooting that left four dead and 16 wounded at Fort Hood. Psychiatrists worry that blaming post-traumatic stress disorder will have long-lasting effects on the returning veterans who will be looking for jobs.
Dr. Harry Croft, a San Antonio psychiatrist who works to integrate mental health tools into the workplace for returning troops, said violent behavior toward others is not usually a symptom of PTSD alone.

By Marjorie Nesin
Staff Writer
---- — Anyone who had hoped to scoop up a new desk chair, a guitar or maybe even some exercise equipment in the former Gloucester Community Arts Charter School's asset sale may still have that chance.
The sale remains ongoing through this week, Trustees Chairman James Caviston confirmed Friday.
The initial online-only sale ran last Tuesday, March 26, and Thursday, March 28, with a goal of selling off the school's assets to raise money to pay off all or most of the school's creditors. But the trustees have been selling off the leftovers since, having drawn in just over $30,000 as of Wednesday, Caviston said.
"We had two good days," Caviston said.
Had the charter trustees managed to sell all of the items at their "buy it now" prices, the school could have collected over $100,000. A March 5 invoice that estimated the school was in about $90,000 debt did not include some lease payments due and bookkeeper expenses, according to minutes from a meeting of the trustees. And those amounts are totaled to exclude a $45,734 bill from the law firm the school has used, Foley Hoag LLP., which is not seeking payment for the outstanding balance remaining as of March 5, according to the minutes.
Caviston said many schools have scooped up assets from the 2 Blackburn Drive building, including Cape Ann Waldorf School and a charter school in Southeastern Massachusetts. Still, he said, the sale would likely not cover the defunct school's debt trail.
"It probably won't be enough to pay everybody," Caviston said.
Three trustees, Tony Blackman, Susan Hogue and Art Beane, have worked continuously with the sale and are familiar with what is left, Caviston said. The trustees are reachable at 978-879-7209 with questions about buying items and a listing of assets for sale still exists on the charter school website.
"It's been six or seven hour days by three trustees but hopefully it will pay off," Caviston said Friday.
The trustees are considering conducting another public walk-through the building for asset viewing next week, but the plans were indefinite as of Friday.
Typically when a school shuts down, the state swoops in and scoops up the assets. But, when the Gloucester Community Arts Charter School closed in January, after a tumultuous autumn of warnings and threats from the state, the school was left in such debt that the state allowed an asset sale with proceeds funneled toward debts.
The state approved the sale method, to consist mainly of a two-day online sale, by late March. Trustees had given preference to a wholesale buyer interested in buying the entire lot Tuesday, then to those interested in buying the largest quantity of an item on Thursday, but a single-buyer never materialized.
Those still interested in buying should plan to pay with an electronic funds transfer or a cashier's check.
Marjorie Nesin can be reached at 978-283-7000, x3451, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am somewhat new at home audio and any help would be most appreciated. My current set up consists of TSI 500s, a Pioneer SX-737 receiver, and a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable. I use this set up almost exclusively for listening to records. I live in a small apartment currently (expecting to move relatively soon to a house), and do not need major loudness. The 500s are obviously rated at 20-275 Watts and my Pioneer puts out 35-40 WPC. It gets plenty loud and sounds great to me, but admittedly, I do not have trained ears. I know my receiver is somewhat weak for the speakers and I plan on getting a more powerful one eventually, but I'm trying to see how urgent this is.
My question is, would it sound better if I had a more powerful receiver? Am I doing a disservice to my speakers? I would like to stick to vintage for many reasons, (price, phono input, look, etc). Am I possibly damaging my speakers because they are "less powered"?
Would it make a huge difference in sound quality if I upgraded to say, 60-100 WPC?
What are some recommendations for more powerful receivers that are somewhat readily available used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much.

With warming tents, snow-free running paths and an endless supply of hot cocoa, organizers of the Freeze Your Franny 5K say there is no excuse for skipping this winter exercise and charitable fund-raiser.
"This is a no excuse event," said event director and Roberts Elementary teacher Nancy Smith. "This is a chance to get out and get active in the winter. It is so beautiful at Stony Creek and I don't think you could find a more perfect event."
Hosted by the Utica Education Association and Utica Paraprofessionals Association, the Freeze Your Franny 5K run/walk will return to Stony Creek Metropark for its third year Saturday, Jan. 26.
"As teachers and parapros, we're always working to raise awareness of issues like obesity and providing programs that will make us healthier and better. As often as we can extend programs like that to the community, the more awareness there will be," Smith said, adding that the event also serves as a fund-raiser for three Macomb County charities.
Proceeds from the 2013 event will benefit MCREST (Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team), the Macomb County Food Bank and 4 Paws 1 Heart.
"Our primary purpose is to promote wellness, but we thought we could also support local charities that may not have their own large event," Smith said. "We try to select diverse charities that could use financial support and are willing to be involved in our event as well, either through participating or helping promote it."
Beyond raising a specific dollar amount, Smith said she hopes the event also serves to promote the good deeds and needs of these organizations. Of course the more community members who take part in the event, the more proceeds organizers will be able to donate.
The race is open to all ages, with medals for the top two finishers in each age group and $25 gift certificates for the overall and masters' male and female winners.
Registration is available online or by mail though Jan. 25 and in person on race day. The per person fee, listed below, includes a long sleeve T-shirt with the Freeze Your Franny logo, bib tag timing and warm refreshments at the end of the race. There is no added charge for strollers or dogs.
- $20 – Through Jan 19
- $25 – Jan. 20-25
- $30.00 – Race Day
Child Under 12
- $12 – Through Jan 19
- $17 – Jan. 20-25
- $22 – Race Day
The race starts at 11 a.m. Jan. 26 and participants are invited to walk or run the course, which is USA Track & Field (USAFT) certified and will be salted, or cleared as needed on race day. Runners are invited to gather in warming tents after the race to reboot with soup, coffee, hot chocolate and the music of a DJ.
Race day parking will be available at Eastwood Beach. There is a $5 per vehicle fee to enter Stony Creek.

Cumberland Times-News
While the legalization of same-sex marriage in Maryland has grabbed attention throughout the state and across the nation, there are several other new state laws that took effect with the arrival of the new year.
Most significant may be the banning of arsenic in chicken feed. Maryland becomes the first state to impose the ban, which prohibits use of roxarsone or any other additive containing arsenic.
Identity theft involving children is addressed in another new law. For a fee, parents will be able to "freeze" their children's credit record and prevent anyone from attempting to get credit under the child's name. State officials have said that because children have "clean" credit histories, thieves sometimes try to obtain loans and credit cards using the child's Social Security numbers.
Automobile insurers now face tighter regulations dealing with cancellation of a policy when payment by check of the first premium is not honored.
Now the insurer must send notice of its intent to rescind the policy before it can actually impose the cancellation.
Veterans are able to display their veteran status on a motor vehicle license under another new law. If a veteran requests it, the state Department of Veteran Affairs will provide documentation verifying a veterans' status. That will enable to Motor Vehicle Administration to issue tags carrying the veteran status.
Last year, the state Motor Vehicle Administration announced the availability of five new license plates which display the logos of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines or Navy. The new license plates each have the logo of a specific branch of the U.S. military along with the word "Veteran" to the left of the plate name. Also available are five service branch license plates for active duty military. The cost is a one-time fee of $25 in addition to normal registration charges.
As for the same-sex marriage law, Maryland is one of three states to ratify the marriages. Court clerks across the state are now permitted to issue same-sex licenses and perform marriages. The law does not force religious institutions to carry out same-sex marriages. Same-sex marriages became legal after the issue was approved on a state-wide ballot in November.

by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Manuel Fontanot's Fontanot LLC purchased the building at 349 Monroe Drive on St. Armands Circle from a Maus family-owned trust for $2.995 million.
The Maus family owns the fine clothing and accessory chain Maus & Hoffman, which closed its location in the building earlier this year. The building includes additional retail and office space.
According to Fontanot's son, Azore, the family would like to open a Mexican restaurant in the building while keeping remaining tenants and leasing space upstairs.
The Sarasota Development Review Committee discussed a proposal submitted by Fontanot in a pre-application session at its Oct. 21 meeting that would convert the existing two-story building from retail and office uses to a restaurant with seating for 150.
According to the city's pre-application comments, restaurants are a permitted use within the Commercial Tourist Zone District.

The Daily Star
---- — As dysfunctional as Albany can be at times, there are some New York officials in whom we can have confidence. One example is Pete Lopez, a Republican from Schoharie seeking a fourth term in the iText ColorSwatch/NoneStrokeStyle/$ID/SolidText ColorSwatch/NoneStrokeStyle/$ID/Solid$ID/NothingText ColorText Color$ID/NothingText ColorText Colorn the New York State Assembly's new 102nd District.
One of the most common tropes tossed around by politicians in an election year is that they are primarily motivated by the concerns of their constituents, and not political gain. But this is more than just a cliché for Lopez, as shown by his conduct in office during a trying time for his district.
It's hard to think of any area official who had more on his plate in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee last year than Lopez, whose district included the still-recovering Greene County town of
"For those of us who lived through this, it's like a year of our lives has been ripped away from us," Lopez said in August, one year after the storm. "As far as the community goes, my sense is people are determined to rebuild. We have to be deliberate and continue. It's a test of endurance. We are seeing progress, but a number of folks are still suffering."
Lopez's oddly drawn district also included a narrow corridor extending westward to Sidney, the hard-hit Delaware County town that faced the potential loss of nearly 1,000 jobs when aerospace manufacturer Amphenol's facility sustained major damage. Lopez's tireless advocacy for his district included securing enough state aid to make it worthwhile for Amphenol to rebuild instead of moving.
After asking Lopez a few general questions about politics, one might struggle to pin down his party affiliation because he's one of that rare, dying species: the thoughtful moderate. Ask him directly, and he'll tell you that he's a conservative Republican because he believes in low taxes and limited government. But Lopez is also an ardent backer of alternative energy — ask him about his biodiesel-powered Jeep — who has a nuanced view on the government's role in economic development.
Lopez's opponent, retired Albany Police officer Jimmy Miller, is a likeable and sincere challenger. He argues correctly that as a Democrat he might be better positioned than Lopez to curry favor in the Democrat-dominated Assembly, but Lopez has a record of producing results and has worked meticulously to build a rapport with his constituents.
Lopez has been described in our newsroom as a "hustler" — in the sense of a scrappy athlete who wins with energy and tenacity. As a rare bright spot in our dank, squalid state Legislature, he deserves another term.

When Robert McWilliams' enthusiasm for traversing rows of chard, kale, leeks and beets near his Ross Lane home is as low as early spring temperatures, he "picks" his vegetables at the Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market.
"You're getting it fresher; you're supporting the local economy," McWilliams says. "In an ideal world, one would eat what their environment could supply."
March: This is the leanest month for local produce, which consists of overwintered root vegetables and hardy field greens like kale and chard. Some growers bring salad mixes and herbs grown in greenhouses, as well as plant starts. This is a good month to
April: Much anticipated asparagus is the hallmark of April. Many farmers have harvested quick-growing crops like radishes and lettuce that favor cool weather.
May: Shoppers can savor strawberries, the first fruits of the season, along with the first peas and spinach.
June: The first month of summer sees sweet cherries and early berries. Cold-tolerant beets, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, onions and turnips also are ready for picking.
July: Summer's first selection of beans, basil, cucumbers, peppers and zucchini complement peaches and plums.
August: Heat-loving tomatoes, eggplant and corn finally arrive with regularity. Grapes and melons, along with the earliest apples and pears, provide a diverse array of fruits.
September: The harvest is in full swing during the first month of fall, which extends the season for most summer favorites. Figs and garlic join the market basket.
October: The iconic pumpkin shows its face with other winter squash during this cooler month, which also brings the return of delicate herbs and greens like cilantro and spinach. Most of the previous month's haul is still widely available.
November: Just as the market season is winding down, so are fall fruits like apples and summer favorites like beans. Shoppers can pick up a few last squashes, potatoes and onions to squirrel away until next season.
For more information on availability of seasonal produce, go to the Mail Tribune's market guide at www.mailtribune.com/growersmarket.
McWilliams, 60, gave up organic agriculture as an avocation because farming 45 acres of herbs, vegetables and nursery plants was simply too much work after 15 years. Instead of selling out, however, he leases the Medford property to Steve and Suzy Fry of Talent, who permit McWilliams to pick all he wants from the fields — or their market stall.
"If you can't do your own gardens, the next best thing is the local markets," says Suzy Fry.
And if you can�t bake your own bread, age your own cheese or tend your own flock of chickens, weekly growers markets in Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass fill the bill for foodstuffs beyond seasonal produce.
�The beginning of the markets, there�s eggs, eggs, eggs ... because the chickens have woken up, and they�re laying,� says Mary Ellen DeLuca, manager of the Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market.
Featuring only the hardiest overwintered vegetables and pluckiest spring greens, the markets� opening weeks in March challenge most shoppers, DeLuca admits. Former California residents are particularly befuddled by the sparse selection, says Wendy Siporen, executive director of THRIVE, a nonprofit group that promotes local food.
�We do have seasons here,� Siporen says.
In the absence of bountiful produce, March is the time to plan ahead, DeLuca says. That means stocking up on staples like eggs, bread, cheese, meat and root vegetables that farmers stored throughout the winter. Many market shoppers also purchase seedling plants to start their own garden for the year.
�Home gardens are big,� McWilliams says. �I think people are realizing it�s better for �em.�
Nutrition has always been Cathy Jones� main reason for patronizing the growers market.
"I shop here because the produce here is really fresh," says the 45-year-old Medford resident.
Since Jones started attending weekly markets 15 years ago, eating locally produced food has become the largest industry trend since organic. On average, market vendors — including crafters — number about 60 in Ashland and 50 in Medford, DeLuca says, adding that she expects both markets to expand by at least 10 percent this year.
As farmers markets across the country have grown, so have environmental concerns over the fossil fuels used to process, package, transport and store the U.S. commercial food supply. Eating out-of-season produce shipped or flown in from the Southern Hemisphere is arguably the industry's most inefficient use of fuel, Siporen says.
"You can think about seasonality as really a benefit," Siporen says. "You're forced to try new things."
Jones agrees.
"I am a seasonal eater."
Peak flavors, Jones says, are the main reward of seasonal eating. But the woman who is just one of numerous customers toting sturdy, reusable grocery bags to the market says she thinks her shopping preference is better for the environment.
While the environment is on many shoppers' minds, DeLuca, Siporen and others say there are greater forces at work, namely supporting local businesses and strengthening community ties. When a local restaurant purchases vegetables and fruits from nearby farmers, the money changing hands often is passed along to other local merchants.
"I see that exchange of the dollar really frequently," says Kristen Lyon, sous chef at Jacksonville's The Garden Bistro at McCully House.
"I really believe in promoting the local economy."
To that end, the Garden Bistro showcases local farms, ranches and artisan food companies on a menu that changes with the seasons. The restaurant deals directly with farmers, but Lyon also makes full use of the market's March-through-November run.
"I kind of let the food choose the menu," she says.
Cooking with seasonal ingredients has become easier in recent years as more cookbooks and Web sites organized recipes around that theme, Lyon says. Cooks short on inspiration can always ask the farmers, themselves, for advice, she adds.
"Usually they know exactly what to do with the stuff because they have so much of it," she says.
Flexibility is another key to cooking what's immediately available at the growers market, Lyon says, adding that she views ingredients as genres rather than absolutes. Any leafy herb can stand in for basil or any root vegetable for carrots, she says.
"You can replace similar items if you don't find the exact thing in a recipe."
Summer may be months away, but The Garden Bistro has tomatoes and blueberries on its menu because Lyon roasted and froze tomatoes for pastas and flatbreads, and she oven-dried blueberries to serve with ice cream. Cooks who plan ahead can relax all winter because the year's harvest is already preserved, Lyon says, adding that canning, freezing and drying may be new to many home cooks but are necessary if one is to eat local all year.
"It's not a foreign concept; it's something we've forgotten."

- Whisk together buttermilk, mustard, salt and pepper, and cayenne in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in the other plastic bag. Shake to mix thoroughly. Transfer one marinated chicken piece at a time into the dry ingredient bag, and shake well to ensure complete coverage. After all chicken pieces are coated, repeat the process by dipping them in the buttermilk marinade and shaking in the dry coating again.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn the oil. When oil is hot, fry chicken in batches until golden brown and juices run clear, turning chicken to brown evenly.

Oh my, I may be a Northern Girl but I know good Southern Fried Chicken when I taste it! I never grew up eating fried chicken and my husband had a craving for some good "Southern-Sytle" fried chicken so I read through a bunch of recipes but obviously knew that fried chicken has to be moist my on the inside and the breading has to be thick enough to stand up to the frying process so it can be crunchy on the outside. This recipe is perfect because it has a buttermilk marinade. I put the cut up chicken in a glass bowl and filled it with the marinade. I turned the chicken a few times during 6 hours. I drained the chicken in a colander and patted it dry then breaded it in the flour. For the flour mixture I used 3 cups flour, 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. onion powder, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. salt. 1 tsp. pepper. I then follwed the steps outlined in this recipe. We used an electric fryer so our cooking time was a bit less than 30 minutes. You have to watch your chicken closely. I don't know which I like better -fried chicken that's fresh out of the frier warm or cold out of the fridge the next day. Either way, I'm hooked! Thanks for a wonderful recipe that definitely makes "Southern-Sytle Buttermik Fried Chicken"!
I made this for a BBQ and everyone loved it! I personally would have preferred a bit more spice in the batter and will correct that next time. Also, it should be noted that this is not a quick dish to make, legs and thighs can take up to 15-20 mins and if you're doing this in small batches, you'll be cooking for awhile. I did my frying in a cast iron dutch oven the grill - hardest part was regulating the oil's temperature. Any more than 350-360 degrees and the batter will burn before the chicken is cooked. Any less and the chicken will absorb too much oil. Also, I did not double-dip, the butterilk was so thick and held so much flour that I felt it unnecessary. The baking powder really makes the batter increase in volume while cooking - don't leave it out! I will definitely make this again but with a bit more spice in the flour.
followed recipe to exact except dijon mustard but only cause i didnt have any on hand but overall taste was still delish...family loved it also...will be making this again thanks for the yummy recipe

Kim Gokce, founding director and president of the Cross Keys Foundation, is one of Brookhaven's leading volunteers.
Most recent he was honored as Volunteer of the Year by the YMCA of Metro Atlanta.
The event was held at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
Each year at the sponsored event, the Metro Atlanta YMCA bestows the title of "Volunteer of the Year" to acknowledge the success of volunteers who have made a significant contribution to the mission of one or more of the twenty-plus area YMCA centers and service locations in Atlanta metro.
"When I was contacted about this recognition, I was sure there was some mistake — so many volunteers accomplish so much for so many children through the YMCA. I was very humbled," said Gokce, who is also a former member of the Brookhaven Commission.
Gokce was recognized for his work to bring YMCA-managed recreational and educational programs to an under-served population in the Cross Keys High School attendance area.

— WASHINGTONVILLE — Fire forced a Washingtonville man to flee from his home and dress in his driveway as firefighters from six companies fought the blaze in bitter cold and high wind.
Jeff Reichenbach, 27, was uninjured but officials advised him to seek medical treatment after the blaze that destroyed his home, a doublewide trailer at 268 Bleehill Road in Derry Township.
Montour County Dispatch got the call about 6:30 p.m. for a fully working structure fire. A panicked neighbor had called, worried that the high winds would blow burning embers to her property.
Reichenbach, a truck driver, said he went to bed about 6 p.m. Sunday, needing to get up about 3 a.m. Monday for work when he awoke to smoke in his bedroom. He doesn't know how the fire started, he said.
First responders came from Washingtonville, Millville, Liberty Township, Valley Township, East End Fire Dept. and the Danville Fire Dept., as well as the Danville Ambulance.
A stiff, strong wind made an already bitter cold night even colder as smoke billowed and swirled up from what was left of Reichenbach's home.
Firefighters in masks and breathing gear were pulling apart the home's wreckage to look for hot spots, working by Klieg lights. Response was finished just after 9 p.m., Montour dispatch said.
Reichenbach, meanwhile, was safe and surrounded by family, his Pittsburgh Steelers fleece on inside out, indicative of how fast he needed to get out of the place.

DENVER – Colorado Attorney General John W. Suthers applauded a decision released today by the Colorado Court of Appeals in the case of Lobato, et al. v. State of Colorado. The Court dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal, which claimed the State fails to provide adequate funding to public schools.
"The judges have rightly held that the question of school funding is one for Colorado's citizens and their elected representatives, not for the courts," commented Attorney General Suthers. "This decision is a major victory for representative government in Colorado."

A day after the 2012 regular season ended, the NFL released the home and away opponents of all 32 teams for the 2013 season.
At first glance, the Patriots schedule in 2013 will be challenging but familiar. The Pats will face five teams in 2013 that made the playoffs in 2012, including the number one playoff seeds in the AFC (Denver Broncos) and NFC (Atlanta Falcons). Nine of the Pats' 16 games next season come against teams they faced in 2012.
Coming to Foxborough in 2013 will be the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Pats will have to travel to Buffalo, Miami, New York (Jets), Baltimore, Cincinnati, Houston, Atlanta and Carolina.
In 2012, the Patriots earned a 12-4 record and clinched the AFC East division for the fourth straight year. New England defeated the Miami Dolphins, 28-0 Sunday at Gillette Stadium in the regular season finale to earn the number two seed in the AFC and a first-round playoff bye. The Pats will host either the Houston Texans or the winner of Sunday's Indianapolis Colts/Baltimore Ravens game in the AFC Divisional round on Sunday, Jan. 13 Gillette Stadium. Kick-off in Foxborough is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
As the Pats use their week off to rest, recuperate and ready for the AFC Divisional round, we take a closer look at their 2013 opponents.
Patriots 2013 Opponents (HOME)
In 2013, the Patriots will host teams in the AFC East, AFC North and NFC South divisions in addition to the Denver Broncos of the AFC West. Here's a team-by-team look at the Patriots' opponents coming to Foxborough.
Buffalo Bills: The Patriots finished the 2012 season 2-0 against the Buffalo Bills and own a 63-41-1 all-time record against the AFC East rival. The Patriots bounced back from a slow first half in Buffalo on Sept. 30 to crush the Bills, 52-28 and held on to . It was the 22nd sweep of the Bills in Patriots' history.
Despite the long-term success against Buffalo, the Patriots will likely see a much different Bills team in 2013 as time's are a changing in Buffalo. The Bills just fired its entire coaching staff after another 6-10 season under Chan Gailey and owner Ralph Wilson reportedly will promote CEO Russ Brandon to president, giving him full authority to run the franchise's football operations. As for who will replace Gailey as the Bills next head coach, rumors are connecting Lovie Smith (recently fired by the Chicago Bears) and Ken Whisenhunt (recently fired by the Arizona Cardinals) to Buffalo. In addition to a new coach, the Bills will likely be in the market for a quarterback this off-season to replace Harvard alum Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had a miserable 2012 season.
Miami Dolphins: The Patriots swept the Miami Dolphins in 2012 but trail in the all-time series, 44-50. and closed out the regular season on Dec. 30 with a 28-0 win over Miami in Foxborough to clinch the second seed in the AFC.

Johnson has already informed Ryan he will be back in 2013 as head coach but fired longtime general manager Mike Tannenbaum. The biggest question mark for the Jets in 2013 is who will be playing quarterback. Mark Sanchez was benched with two games remaining in the regular season due to poor play but ended up starting in the Jets' regular season finale after newly named starter Greg McElroy suffered a concussion. Back-up quarterback Tim Tebow is not expected to return to the team in 2013.
Cleveland Browns: The Browns recently fired their head coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert after a 5-11 season and may be in the market for a starting quarterback if the new regime decides Brandon Weeden is not the answer at the position. The last time the Browns and Patriots met in the regular season was in Cleveland during the 2010-11 season. The Browns, then coached by former Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, defeated the Pats, 34-14. The last time the Patriots hosted the Browns in Foxborough was during the 2007 season.

Denver Broncos: Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos will be returning to Foxborough in 2013 in what is expected to be a primetime match-up between the game's two best quarterbacks. . In his first year with the Broncos, Manning has led Denver to a 13-3 record and the number one seed in the AFC.
New Orleans Saints: The Saints managed just a 7-9 record in a season of turmoil following the Bounty Gate scandal. The Saints are expected to have head coach Sean Payton return in 2013 following a season-long suspension in 2012, which could return New Orleans to the postseason. The last time the Patriots and Saints met in the regular season was in the 2009-10 season in New Orleans. The Saints beat the Patriots, 38-17 in that game. The last time the Patriots hosted the Saints in Foxborough was the 2005-06 season … before the Drew Brees era in New Orleans. The Patriots defeated the Saints, 24-17 on Nov. 20, 2005.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs finished 2012 with a 7-9 record under first-year head coach Greg Schiano.
