Lions honor Addison Marable again
- Last Updated on 08:30 AM 11/14/12
- BY Special to the Gazette
Lion Addison Marable was honored again last week with a prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship by the South Boston Lions Club. Lion Marable is the senior member of the South Boston Lions Club. He was given a 50-year pin earlier this year.
A tireless Lion for over five decades of service, Marable is also a lay minister in the Presbyterian church, a retired businessman, former South Boston Commissioner of Revenue and has been a mentor to countless young people in the community as a volunteer athletic coach. He is currently the White Cane committee chair in the club as he has been for years.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship is given to an honoree after a sizable donation is given to Lions Clubs International Foundation by the person or organization wishing to make the award. It is named after Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Clubs in 1917. Jones was a humble businessman who felt that the talents of local business leaders could be put to better use than the usual civic clubs by devoting themselves to helping others. Hence the Lions motto: We Serve.
Lions Clubs are not civic clubs, they are the world's largest--and leading--service organization, with 1.35 million Lions working in over 200 countries around the world. Lions Clubs International Foundation is the charitable arm of Lions Clubs International.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship program is the backbone of Lions Clubs International Foundation and provides 75 percent of the foundation's revenue. Lions Clubs International Foundation resolved years ago to eliminate all preventable blindness in the world. Substantial progress has been made in this effort by distributing 148 million river blindness treatments around the world so far.
Lions are both local and global. Since 1968, LCIF has awarded more than $700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian community projects around the world. Together, the foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies, and aiding in long-term reconstruction.
As Superstorm Sandy was nearing landfall on the East Coast, Lions once again demonstrated their quick response in the time of need.
Lions Clubs International Foundation awarded a $100,000 Major Catastrophe Grant with money from the disaster relief fund, allowing Lions in affected areas to immediately begin providing assistance.
Many Lions were already working with local food banks, police and fire departments and other local organizations.
In addition to the Major Catastrophe Grant, Lions Clubs International Foundation awarded $100,000 in emergency grants to Lions districts in North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. LCIF was able to award these funds from the disaster relief fund, thanks to Lions who generously donated knowing that in times of disaster there is an urgent and great need.
Lion Addison Marable's Melvin Jones Fellowship is among those donations.

A narrow fellow in the grass (1096)
A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides;
You may have met him—did you not . . .
A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides;
You may have met him—did you not . . .
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
. . .
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand . . .
Have but one God: thy knees were sore
If bent in prayer to three or four.
. . .
I said Folk was dressed in Blues but hairier and hemped.
After "We acoustic banjo disciples!" Jebediah said, "When
and whereforth shall the bucolic blacks with good tempers . . .
Oh pile of white shirts who is coming
to breathe in your shapes to carry your numbers
to appear . . .
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be . . .
No moon floods the memory of that night
only the rain I remember the cold rain
against our faces and mixing with your tears . . .
That scraping of iron on iron when the wind
rises, what is it? Something the wind won't
quit with, but drags back and forth. . . .
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding, . . .

Years Active: 2005 - current
Genres: Freak Folk
Brightblack Morning Light was a band which formed in Northern California by Nathan Shineywater and Rachael Hughes, both of whom originally hail from Alabama, Shineywater from Birmingham and Hughes from just outside of Montgomery. Shineywater plays electric slide guitar, and Hughes favors vintage Fender Rhodes pianos. They were accompanied by a varying group of musicians. The band eschewed commercial exposure, having chosen a relatively quiet and luxury-free life—they have lived in cars, tents, converted chicken-coops, and cabins, and have recorded music using solar power. In 2004 they issued, under the name Brightblack, an album called "Ala.Cali.Tucky," on Galaxia Records. The album wa... Continue Bio >>

EC: µIPM Power Modules
Power - Motor control: The highly integrated, ultra-compact, PM power modules are designed for high efficiency appliance and light industrial applications including compressor drives for refrigeration, pumps for heating and water circulation, air-conditioning fans, and automation systems. This is a Control Engineering 2013 Engineers' Choice finalist.
IR's new µIPM family represents the latest example of IR's commitment to developing energy saving products and solutions and provides the engineering community with simpler, easier and more efficient ways to design and release products that meet customers' needs and regulatory standards.
Traditional IPM solutions for the 60-200 W inverterized motor drive market have required relatively inefficient large construction or the use of an external heat sink to achieve satisfactory thermal performance. This approach has made the complete integration of the motor controller within the motor system difficult and cumbersome and often uneconomical, thereby making it unsuitable for widespread adoption. The new alternative approach (patent pending) pioneered by IR for this market segment, enables designers to solve the technical challenges of designing advanced energy saving solutions in line with the most recent energy standards for fans (heating and ventilation) or pumps (water circulation).
The highly integrated, ultra-compact, µIPM power modules are designed for high efficiency appliance and light industrial applications including compressor drives for refrigeration, pumps for heating and water circulation, air-conditioning fans, dishwashers, and automation systems. By using an innovative packaging solution, the µIPM family delivers a new benchmark in device size, offering up to a 60% smaller footprint than existing 3-phase motor control power ICs.
IR's µIPM product family offers a scalable power solution with common pin-out and package size. Featuring the most rugged and efficient high-voltage FredFET MOSFET switches specifically optimized for variable frequency drives and IR's most advanced high-voltage driver ICs, the µIPM product family offers dc current ratings ranging from 2 A to 4 A and voltages of 250 V and 500 V.

For the Times West Virginian
It's strange how quickly things can change in the world of sports.
When West Virginia University joined the Big12 last year, it seemed that it was joining a football conference that was a good basketball league but not one you would call elite, despite the presence of an elite school in Kansas.
No, the Big 12 was not the SEC in football – no one but the SEC is – but it was not the Big East in basketball, either.
It is a conference that remained strong in the sport despite losing Nebraska, Texas A&M, Colorado and Missouri in recent years, hanging on to its two premier football franchises, Oklahoma and Texas.
Adding West Virginia and TCU to replace A&M and Missouri gave it creditability and held its spot among the elite.
But a year later, much has changed.
In football, this conference that seemed to be reinventing offense enters a new season without a proven quarterback star and with nearly all teams fielding unproven players at that crucial position. It is a league without a Top 10 team at present and with, in Texas, a very shaky favorite.
But take a look at what has transpired in basketball in the same time.
The Big 12 returns in Marcus Smart at Oklahoma State its player of the year from a season ago, a good-enough player surrounded by a good-enough supporting cast to be the preseason favorite over Kansas, which wins Big 12 titles the way the old New York Yankees used to win World Series.
Just to make sure that Kansas didn't slip too far, which surely would hurt the conference's creditability, Kansas simply recruited the nation's top recruit in Andrew Wiggins, who if he half lives up to expectations will be twice as good as anyone but Smart in the league.
But beyond that, with Texas Tech adding Tubby Smith as its coach, you have an unmatched cast of coaches that make the league exceptional.
It was Bob Huggins, who understands what he is up against as he tries to bring WVU back to its glory days on the basketball court, to point out just how good the coaching is in the Big 12.
"It makes it hard. I don't know if there's ever been another league ever that had 60 percent of coaches that have coached in the Final Four,'' Huggins said during Tuesday's Big 12 coaches' conference call. "That's extremely impressive.''
Indeed six of the 10 coaches have led teams to the Final Four, including Huggins. All 10 of them have led teams into the NCAAs while two of the coaches – Kansas' Bill Self and Tubby Smith – have won national championships.
It is the only conference that has all of its coaches with NCAA experience.
In truth, it might even be better coaching as a whole than WVU walked into when it joined the Big East back in the 1995-96 season. True, there were three future Hall of Fame coaches awaiting them in Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun and John Thompson.
But there was also John MacLeod at Notre Dame, Ralph Willard at Pitt, George Blaney at Seton Hall and Brian Mahoney at St. John's.
In truth it was a top-heavy league in coaching. But when it comes to coaching the Big 12 with Self, Huggins, Smith, Lon Kruger, Rick Barnes and Bruce Weber all having led teams to the Final Four speaks volumes of what any team is up against in the Big 12.
"It speaks well (of the Big 12),'' said Kruger, who last season became the first coach to take five different teams to the NCAA tournament. He led the Sooners to their first NCAA tournament since 2009, Blake Griffin's final season in Oklahoma.
"You have unbelievable coaches in this league. The records speak for themselves, what a lot of the coaches in our league have accomplished,'' Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg said. "That's an unbelievable stat, 60 percent of your league that have coached in the premiere event in college basketball.''
Six coaches in the Final Four and five of them with 500 or more victories, headed by Huggins with 723. The other 500-game winners are Texas' Barnes (560), Oklahoma's Kruger (514), Smith (511) and Self (507).

All of my siblings and I are avid gamers that are in DESPERATE need of new consoles and a gaming crib makeover! So, PLEASE, vote for me!
In my room, we have a PS2 with an old tube TV that my dad got from Goodwill. We bought this TV for cheap because it was originally broken, so we actually had to fix it up, otherwise we wouldn't be able to afford such a TV.
We have a 5 year old computer along with the tube monitor, which can't really handle games that well. We can't even run Half-life 2 or Counterstrike-source with a decent frame rate. We can't really upgrade our computer either since the motherboard is so old, and all of the newer video cards aren?t compatible. I'd also like to mention that this computer has been freezing up and crashing lately. So, it's been showing signs that it's about to die.
I have to share both of these systems with three other siblings. Do you have any idea what it's like to share two systems with three other people in the same room every day?! Let me tell ya, it friggin' sucks! We always have to wait for our turn to play, and gaming time is usually limited to about 1 hour. Not only do we share the gaming systems in my room, but I actually have to share the room with my brother! And to top it off, I also have sleep in the same bed with him!
I'd just like to let you guys know that I'm a full-time college student right now, and I am working part time. I have a 3.76 cumulative GPA and I plan to be an accountant after graduation. So, I'd like to let you all know that I'm acutally a hard worker. My parents came from a foreign country so we can't afford much. My siblings and I grew up playing games, so I can't help but desire this grand prize as I do now.
My game crib is really dull, and this is a chance of a lifetime. So if you guys could kindly take one minute of your time to vote for me. I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

To this day it is either Isolation, guardian, snowbound, valhalla, Narrows, etc. Bungie needs to give you a better variety, especially with the heroic maps and the upcoming legendary maps.

Courtney Caughey-Stambul
New Castle News
There are so many great Christmas movies, it is difficult to choose a favorite.
I've been watching "Rudolph" every year for as long as I can remember.
As a child, I couldn't wait for "Mickey's Christmas Carol" to air.
"Home Alone" makes me laugh out loud, and sometimes on the right day, even has me shedding a tear or two.
"Christmas with the Kranks" is a more recent favorite of mine. Have you ever thought about skipping Christmas?
They're all great films: "The Grinch," "Elf," "Fred Claus," "It's a Wonderful Life"...
But, if you asked me, "Courtney, what is your favorite Christmas movie of all time?"
I'd be sure to tell you, "A Christmas Story."
Most of us grow up watching our favorite holiday movies and that is precisely how they become our favorites. They are a part of our Christmas traditions. That, however, is not how I fell in love with "A Christmas Story."
Unbelieveable as it may be, I had never heard of Ralphie or a Red Ryder BB Gun until the seventh grade. A few days before holiday vacation, my classmates and I were allowed to choose a movie to watch during our class period. After a vote, "A Christmas Story" won and so I was introduced to the film. The movie had to be split over three classes. I can honestly say, I could not wait to go to class to see more of the movie.
I think what makes "A Christmas Story" one of the most beloved movies of all time is its relatablility. We all know the iconic moments in the film. Ralphie trying on the pink bunny suit from Aunt Clara, swearing in front of his father, getting into a fight with a bully, standing in line to see Santa, and daydreaming about a special present remind us of what it was like being a kid.
I enjoy reminiscing, especially during the holidays.
So if you're searching for the perfect Christmas gift to give me this year, I'd love a leg lamp for my living room window.
"A Christmas Story" airs on TBS for 24 hours straight, starting on Christmas Eve.

Granted only a limited theatrical release this summer, Nitro Circus: The Movie is like Jackass with more athleticism, more engineering know-how, more maturity, more corporate sponsors, and much less testicular trauma.
Riotous as they are, the Jackass movies have not been immune to the law of diminishing returns — in terms of laughs, not box office. That the fourth feature, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, is the funniest since the first, 2002's Jackass: The Movie, is something of an unexpected achievement.

Charles Wilkes and Chris Tonelli love books.
The friends and business partners are taking a unique approach to sharing that passion by opening So & So Books, a downtown Raleigh independent bookstore, in a quaint, 300-square-foot space in the front of the in situ studio architecture firm on Person Street.
We both have pretty serious attachments to books, Tonelli said. We heard that downtown Raleigh needs a bookstore.
Because So & Sos space is tight, the pair has to choose its book selection carefully. They plan to stock books from major genres, including Pulitzer and National Book Awards winners, poetry and childrens books, along with offering a section for local authors. They will also take orders for books that are not available in the store.
Wilkes and Tonelli want to connect with customers by spending time with them and learning what they like and dislike. They hope this will help them be able to offer advice on book purchases.
The two also plan to host events such as readings and book clubs, and are interested in allowing others to use the space for their own functions.
(We) hope to become a strong part of the community, Wilkes said. If someone is having an event, well give our time, and (were) hoping it goes both ways. We both love Raleigh and want the burgeoning retail side to go well.
The space offers a lounge area, and the two hope to eventually build partnerships with other local businesses to sell items such as coffee and food.
(We want) to be a place where people hang out and browse and read, not just a retail interaction, said Tonelli.
Wilkes and Tonelli have other jobs. Wilkes works with books at two other stores, and Tonelli writes poetry and is an assistant to the director of administration at N.C. State University Libraries. The two are enlisting the help of in situs staff to keep the bookstore operating when they arent there. The firms workers will handle sales and ring up customers and will get a percentage of the transactions that they make.
Wilkes and Tonelli plan to be in the bookstore on nights and weekends and are working to establish a social media presence through Facebook and Twitter to let customers know when they will be in the shop and when the place is open. They also hope to have more structured hours in the near future.
We will Tweet out when we are going to be there, Tonelli said.
So & So Books is at 704 N. Person St., next to Person Street Pharmacy. Find the stores hours on Facebook at facebook/soandsobooks or on Twitter @soandsobooks.
Get ready to get fit, Chapel Hill.
TrySports, a national health and fitness retail experience, is expanding into the Triangle, taking an almost 12,000-square-foot space next to University Malls Southern Season.
Hal Smith, TrySports chief executive officer, describes the facility as a place that will help people reach their fitness and health goals.
The store offers more than just workout equipment. It will also be a place where everyone can go to exercise and learn.
(Its) very important to understand that were not looking to just have elite athletes, Smith said. (They will be) part of our customer base, but we really want to welcome everyone in the community that wants to live healthy.
The shop will focus on four key categories: running, cycling, yoga and fitness, with experts and services geared toward each of those areas.
TrySports will offer in-store demonstrations, classes and programs, including group walks, yoga classes, clinics by coaches and therapists and group bike rides. The shop will also have an endless pool that will be used for classes and coaching, and a track where runners and walkers can try out shoes.
Every day of the week, we have an activity thats free for customers to get active, Smith said.
TrySports sells premium, well-known brands and offers comprehensive fittings on goods such as running shoes and bikes. Customers will also be able to test products in the store.
The shop will feature a store within its store. The company has partnered with Zobha, a yoga and pilates activewear company, to set up a shop inside the Chapel Hill facility.
Smith said that customer service and the staffs knowledge of fitness are key to making the store stand out from other sporting goods retailers.
It all comes to life with personal service, Smith said. (We are) looking for the customer to have an experience like they wouldnt have anywhere else.
Smith expects TrySports to open in September.
The owners of Kings Barcade and Neptunes Parlour have opened a food pick-up window on the street level of the downtown Raleigh Martin Street complex.
Garland is using the slow food fast concept by offering portable dishes inspired by Indian and Asian flavors. It plans on using the window to test menu items, including steamed buns breads that are filled with various meats, vegetables and spices and then steamed for a few months until the rest of the restaurant and bar are ready.
The portable format gives us a chance to finish the dining room and kitchen and get it the way we want it running, said Cheetie Kumar, co-owner of the three facilities and guitarist for the rock band Birds of Avalon.
Kumar expects to ease into normal hours of operation and eventually offer a late-night menu. The restaurant is at 14 W. Martin St.
Here are a couple of upcoming grand openings:
Northern Tool + Equipment is holding a celebration for its new Cary location from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday at 1297-A Buck Jones Road in South Hills Mall & Plaza.
Nadeau-Furniture With a Soul will hold the grand opening of its first Triangle store from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 31. The 6,000-square-foot store, at 426 Woodburn Road in Cameron Village in Raleigh, sells handmade furniture.

A group of Logansport citizens is holding a question-and-answer session with energy, environmental and business leaders tonight to discuss the city's power plant project.
"Our goal is to foster discussion among key people in the community who may not yet be committed to the Pyrolyzer (trash-to-electricity) proposal and would like more information on lowering electric rates now," said Mercedes Brugh, who organized the event, in a statement.
The panel will include Morton Marcus, retired director of the Indiana Business Research Center; Bradley Angel, executive director of San Francisco-based Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice; and Mike Ewall, founder and director of Philadelphia-based Energy Justice Network.
The free event is sponsored by the Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy, or CARE, which a press release describes as "an independent group of Cass County residents concerned about the fiscal and public health impact" of the city's power plant project.
The event will air on WSAL AM 1230 and on the Comcast local access cable channel in Logansport.
The city issued a request for proposals last November in search of a way to address its future energy needs, which officials said would eventually require spending millions of dollars in upgrades in order to continue with its current electricity distribution and fees that will be imposed on coal-burning plants by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Earlier this year, Logansport City Council voted in favor of negotiating with Pyrolyzer LLC, out of Boca Raton, Fla., to build a plant powered by refuse-derived fuel for a cost that has ranged from $400 million to $566 million.
The development of the plant will be funded by private investors who will own the plant before transferring it to the city for a period of time specified in a build-operate-transfer agreement, the details of which are currently being worked out in negotiations that are expected to go into October.

PRYOR, OK — Pryor Times
The Salvation Army volunteers will soon kick off the bell-ringing season. Due to some cancellations, bell ringers are urgently needed for Nov. 29 and Nov. 30.
Bell ringers will be stationed outside the doors at Walmart in Pryor each weekend from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
They will be raising money to fund the Mayes County Salvation Army projects for the next year. All money raised during the Christmas season stays in Mayes County to help pay for emergency rent, utilities, fuel or prescriptions for county residents.
During the first 10 months of this year, Salvation Army has helped 625 individuals in 227 families with a total of $25,969 in emergency help. The next two months are among the busiest.
Salvation Army also provided window air conditioners for low income elderly and families with young, ill children.
As part of Mayes County's emergency disaster response, Salvation Army provided help for families affected by the April tornado in Spavinaw, including replacing roofs on two homes.
Other funding for Salvation Army activities comes from Mayes County United Way, AEP/PSO and ONG.
Anyone interested in ringing the bell for Salvation Army should contact Jack Hardy at 918-373-0310 or Rick Elliott at 918-231-0337.

At first, there are no words. As I listen to the now notorious Lance Armstrong interview, I find myself struggling to comprehend the blatant disconnect between what he's saying and what he actually did. But it's not long before my confusion turns to anger, blood boiling, bordering on rage.
Lord knows Armstrong is not the first professional athlete to cheat and then lie about it. The behavior has become a rather disturbing par-for-the-course in professional sports. But unlike, say, the egotistical Barry Bonds, Armstrong was revered as a survivor, an inspiration – a hero. Honors he never deserved to have and responsibilities he abused every step of the way.
So my disgust stems from the fact that as a fitness professional and a staff member at the Darien YMCA, I dedicate every hour of my day to educating, motivating—and yes, inspiring—people to become better versions of their current selves. From children to adults, my colleagues and I strive to teach the importance of hard work, dedication, and that oh-so-critical attribute of strong moral character as the pillars of success. But, as Armstrong's story proves, when driven by greed, there's always another way.
That said, I refuse to be disappointed. Instead, I find the urge to ask all of us to stop looking up to personalities on pedestals and to start looking around us, to the everyday people in our lives who are doing extraordinary things. Earlier this week, we named our first-ever Member of the Month at the Y, a daunting task considering that over 5,000 local residents call our facility home. We chose Ali Rahbar (pictured above), a member who has lost over 80lbs. in the past year and a half, armed with nothing more but hard work, dedication and a membership to the Darien YMCA.
When I interviewed Ali about his transformation earlier this week, he was candid in his admission that the process has been incredibly difficult, saying that at times it "sucked" to the point where he contemplated giving up. I understood these emotions all too well, because continuously, consciously choosing the right thing—whether that's passing on a piece of chocolate cake or a performance-enhancing substance—is hard. It's precisely what makes the journey so rewarding. It's what differentiates between victory and legitimate triumph.
So I'm choosing to call Ali my hero, and I hope you can find an Ali of your own. I mean, to me, that's the true definition of a "level playing field": finding motivation from someone who walks besides you and accomplishes their own goals.

squeeze play
A situation in which pressure exerted to obtain a concession or achieve a goal, as in Workers sometimes feel caught in a squeeze play between union and management. This expression, dating from about 1900, originated in baseball, where it refers to a prearranged play in which the runner on third base breaks for home plate on the pitch, and the batter bunts. [c. 1915]

MADRID (AP) — Thousands of Spaniards are protesting the presence of an underground gas storage plant over growing fears it is triggering minor earthquakes in the area.
Some 4,000 people carried banners along the seaside promenade of the coastal town of Les Cases d'Alcanar, 500 kilometers (310 miles) east of Madrid, on Sunday, calling for the offshore plant to be closed or dismantled.
Spain's Geographical Institute has measured a sharp increase in temblors — 139 in the 10 days up to Saturday — since operators began pumping gas into the facility. Some earthquakes have exceeded magnitude 4.0. The first alarms were set off on Sept. 13 after 300 quakes were detected.
Government officials believe there's a direct link between the temblors and injections of fuel gas into the offshore storage system.

Knoxville, TN 37902
Following the Newton shooting, there has been much debate about how to best prevent the next troubled person from taking out frustrations on the innocent public with a gun. Suggestions for achieving this end have ranged from improving mental health services, to a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazine clips, to arming teachers. No one effort seems to provide certainty, and it may take all suggestions in combination to reduce to the lowest possible chance another slaughter of students, or massacre of moviegoers and mall shoppers.
In fact, the idea of arming teachers, as some state legislators are considering, realistically promotes a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazine clips. Anyone with experience handling firearms knows that a concealable handgun able to fire an average of less than 10 bullets before reloading would be a poor match against an assault rifle able to shoot 30 or more bullets. So, if we are to allow teachers to carry weapons, we must also level the combat field by ensuring that the intruding shooter or shooters do not have access to weapons superior in firepower to what the teacher will likely be concealing. And, since a rifle is often more accurate for the inexperienced shooter, it might be wiser to issue teachers assault rifles with high-capacity clips.
Come to think of it, to make sure that a shooter outguns no one or catches us off guard, we should all be allowed and encouraged to carry assault rifles wherever and whenever violence may be visited on us: at home, at the park, at church, at eating places, and at work.
Let freedom ring. Or was that a ricochet?

Resolutions. Even if you weren't planning on making one, you may have felt obligated to form one after conversations at New Year's Eve gatherings.
Most of the time, particularly if you are a woman, New Year's resolutions are tied to changing your body in some way, shape or form.
Not many people say I want to feel better this year, but I want to look better.
What if there was an arts activity that could accomplish both?
This year, try dancing to work toward some of your resolutions. These days, dance isn't just reserved for our prima ballerinas or the stars of today's music videos. Popular shows such as "Dancing with the Stars" have helped prove this. Dancing allows you to release creative energy while improving cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility. There is a reason dance-infused fitness classes like Zumba are taking the country by storm.
And studies show there are many benefits involved with dancing beyond just the physical. Dancing has been known to increase self-esteem, relieve stress and improve chronic fatigue. Dancing also makes you think. Many forms of dance require memorization of moves or combinations, helping to assist in memory skills and cognitive abilities. Frequent dancing has actually been linked to a reduced risk of dementia.
Now, I know a lot of people might be nervous and perhaps embarrassed to drop into a dance class. Moving in front of others can be scary; I suppose we all get a little stage fright. But the sense of community that surrounds dance classes is almost tangible. Whether it's from seeing yourself moving in sync with others, or from the support others offer in learning new steps, you are likely to feel buoyed by the encouragement. You are also more than likely to make a new friend in a dance class, helping you return week after week. And think about the impressive moves you can unveil at the next wedding you attend!
I was pleased to discover so many adult dance classes offered in the area _ everything from tap and ballet to belly dancing and hip hop.
The Roxbury Arts Group offers adult tap classes, belly dancing or yoga at the barre, a class where the balances of yoga postures are aided by the use of the ballet barre. They even offer a Bollywood dance class, which traditionally uses dance moves made popular by the Hindi-language films that often feature large dance numbers. Classes like these offer the opportunity to learn and experience aspects of another culture in a hands-on way.
The Stanley-Wade Dance Studio in Oneonta offers adult classes in various forms of dance, including tap, jazz, hip hop, ballet and flamenco. Visit www.stanleywadeschoolofdance.com for schedule information.
The Oneonta Dance Center offers adult dance classes in tap, jazz, ballet and lyrical.
Or, if you are interested in swing or ballroom dancing, look into the Norwich Dance Club. During January, the club is offering free swing lessons every Friday from 7 to 8 p.m., according to its website. No reservations are necessary. Or you can learn the basics of the rumba, cha-cha, waltz and swing during the club's weekly ballroom dance lessons.
Because of the many benefits offered by dance, most local fitness centers are offering dance classes as part of their group fitness schedules. You can always keep your dancing to the confines of your living room with different DVDs or with games available on Xbox Kinect, Wii or PlayStation 3, like "Dance, Dance Revolution" or "Dance Central."
All in all, dancing can make you feel better by increasing confidence, reducing stress and improving posture … but the art form might also help you keep those New Year's resolutions as well.

Glimmerglass director offers employment tips for arts grads
So, in a few short weeks you're graduating with an arts degree. Now what?! In the safety of college, one can ignore the realities of the outside world, where housing and meal allowances aren't rolled into a tuition payment and jobs aren't available simply because you're a student.
Volunteers are the SWAT of the arts world
When you work at an arts organization, particularly a nonprofit, employees often wear many hats -- accomplishing the duties that appear in the traditional job description, and then some. It happens everywhere. It's a running joke among people who work at nonprofits. There is too much to do, and not enough people to do it. That's when you call in the back up -- SWAT if you will.
Let creativity flow with unstructured art projects
As I sit here writing this, the holiday glow is still going strong (my column deadline is two weeks before the publication date), and I've been spending a great deal of time not only with my daughter, but her stuff. We're incredibly lucky to have a loving network of family and friends that spoil her, so I've been merging her new goodies with her old.
Opportunities abound for career in the arts
I was recently asked to speak at a local high school about my career path and how I came to work in the arts. It was interesting speaking with these seniors, and discussing their hopes for life after high school.
The art of the appraisal explained by one who knows
So often in this column my co-writer, Brittany, and I talk about how art is everywhere and can be appreciated by all. Perhaps because of my passion for everyday art, there is one part of the art world I just cannot grasp -- art appraisal. How can you put a value on something so seemingly subjective? So, I set out to learn more about this industry.
Flash mobs more theatrical production than dance
Most people are familiar with the term "flash mob." It's associated with groups of people congregating briefly to the surprise of the surrounding public, and often incorporates a choreographed dance. You've probably been witness to one, or you've probably seen one online, as they are extensively documented -- there are more than 10,000 results on YouTube if you search for flash mobs.
Art found in the foods at local road stands, markets
Artisanal foods have become quite popular in recent years, with some abuse of the term by mass-retailers and fast food restaurants.
'Record Breaker' exhibit to be at Orphic Gallery
"Record Breaker," featuring the work of Greg Frederick, will open Saturday at the Orphic Gallery in Roxubry.
Local programs help children's creativity grow
I am not a stage mom. But, the other day I ended up in the middle of a discussion with a stage dad who, for many years, has designated a great deal of his time and resources to support his teenage son's performing career. The cry of the stage parent: chauffeuring from one rehearsal to the next, scouting costumes, building sets, selling tickets and program ads, and, of course, sitting in the audience for the entire production run. Then, without a breath, off to the next one!
An artist label can be placed on many types of people

Dip your toe in the art world through Pinterest
I am a magazine ripper. I always have been. I have shoesboxes and file folders filled with decorating ideas, recipes and other miscellaneous projects. No matter how hard I've tried, I can never seem to organize or tame the scraps of inspiration floating around my house.
Arts encompasses so much more than visual, performing, musical things
This column was due when I was in the throes of our season at The Glimmerglass Festival, when all we are thinking about is the arts -- how to make people more aware of the arts, to engage in the arts. And -- what exactly do "the arts" entail?
School may be out, but there's lots to do to keep kids busy
By June Dzialo Now that school's out for the summer, my daughter is proclaiming that we are, "the most boring family on Earth."
Music is an important part of all aspects of life
How important is music to you? Do you play an instrument, and if so, do you think the skill you've developed can be helpful in your life, even if you haven't reached a professional level of musical performance?
Name change just one of the ways CANO is moving forward
By Brittany Lesavoy With a new name and a budget in the black, the Community Arts Network of Oneonta, or CANO, formerly the Upper Catskill Community Council of the Arts, or UCCCA, is letting everyone know the organization is rebuilding. I sat down with Raina D'Amico, president of the CANO Board, to talk about what the name change really means and what community members can expect from this rebranded organization.
Many helping rebuild the arts community after Hurricane Irene
By June Dzialo Almost seven months ago torrential rains and winds crashed through the region, leading to massive mudslides and roaring floods, which caused destruction that is still visible today.
Support Small Business Saturday with arts organizations
By June Dzialo Filled to the brim with turkey and dressing, thousands of shoppers across the nation crowd outside the doors of big box stores to get lowest-of-the-low prices on a (very) limited number of hot holiday gifts. And, come Monday, thousands more will ignore their jobs to score even more deals online. Black Friday, and, more recently, Cyber Monday have become household names for two of the biggest shopping days of the year. But, how many of us have heard of Small Business Saturday? Get your wallet ready, it's this weekend!
In the classroom, art is not done only for art's sake
By June Dzialo A few weeks ago, my daughter started a new chapter in her life, one that will last at least 13 years _ she began her formal education and entered kindergarten.
The folks behind the scenes make arts productions go smoothly
By Brittany Lesavoy On opening night of "Annie Get Your Gun at The Glimmerglass Festival" people left the Alice Busch Opera Theater with toothy grins and humming "There's No Business Like Show Business."

Toshiba takes a solid premium 15-inch laptop and adds a great-looking 4K touchscreen while keeping the price reasonable. But at this point, it's mostly for bragging rights or early adopters.
The Yoga-like Radius has a 15.6-inch 1080p display, making it one of the biggest hybrids around.
New two-in-one hybrids offer 13-inch screens and slim designs for under $600 or more than $1,000.

August 1, 2014
A sign popped up out front recently saying the toilets are "for museum visitors ONLY.'' That's a change from decades of policy that let the public roam freely.
The sign accompanies a new museum policy that includes a suggested donation of $4 for adults, $3 for children and $10 for families.
Retired World War II veteran Richard Goglio says the policy doesn't seem very voluntary. He takes the bus downtown nearly every day to visit the Madison Senior Center, the library and other destinations. He regularly stopped at the museum to use the restroom. But not any more.
Museum staff have started pressuring him for a donation.
Museum director Ann Koski says the loo levy is a regrettable fact of life in tight budget times. The museum has been forced to cut about 15 staffers and will lose around $750,000 in its budget.
