News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Victor's Pier Street Shanty to serve seafood in Port Washington
Time was when Port Washington was known for its seafood restaurant near the marina, Smith Brothers.
That seafood restaurant is gone, and Victor Cerda says he hopes to fill the void at the lake with Victor's Pier Street Shanty at 301 E. Pier St., expected to open in about two weeks.
The building, which last housed Deano's Portside Pub & Grill, has a prime view of Lake Michigan and Port Washington's marina.
Cerda, who operated Victor's of Cedarburg from 1988-'97, said the casual restaurant's emphasis will be seafood, everything from oysters, calamari and crab cakes to lobster, snow crab, shrimp, lake trout and lake salmon. Entrees will include the rice dish paella and cioppino, the seafood stew. Victor's will serve a haddock fish fry.
It also will have steaks and the signature dish from Cerda's Cedarburg restaurant: julienne of veal Frangelico, thin strips of veal with a cream sauce flavored with the hazelnut liqueur.
Casual plates will include buffalo and beef burgers, an oyster po'boy, jerk chicken sandwich, salads and Baja fish tacos.
Entrée prices start at $13.50 and go to market price for lobster, Cerda said, with most entrées in the high teens and into the $20s.
The chef is Lisa Elbe, who worked at the Cedarburg restaurant for eight years and more recently was the chef at Rhythm 'n Brews in Saukville.
The restaurant will seat about 60 diners, and the patio with its own bar seats just as many. The restaurant also has a small private-party room for up to 70.
Victor's will serve lunch and dinner. Hours are being finalized, but Cerda expects the restaurant likely will be closed Mondays and Sunday nights. It would be open for a sit-down brunch on Sundays.
The number for the restaurant will be (262) 268-7875; see more about Victor's on Facebook.

It's about time!! Vic Cerda is a great guy who knows great food. A Washington High School alum who has a loyal following, this location is a great place for Vic to give travelers to the Port Marina a great dining experience. Victor was born and bred in the west-side of Milwaukee and I call on all Washington west-siders to support him.

You weren't open in the afternoon on the Sunday of the Maritime festival. My daughter and 7 of her closest friends tried to give you some business after the cardboard boat races. Too bad.

Brown Comes Out Against Recouping Bank Bailout $
by Jonathan Singer, Thu Jan 14, 2010 at 07:07:41 PM EST
Not sure how well this jibes with a populist, anti-establishment posture.
Democrats believe President Barack Obama's proposed, $90 billion tax on big banks will box in Republicans, giving them the choice between siding with the bankers or breaking with the GOP's antitax base.
If so, Republican Massachusetts Senate candidate Scott Brown has taken the bait. His Democratic opponent, Martha Coakley, embraced the bank tax and spent the day goading Brown to take a stand.
Responding to The Wall Street Journal, the Brown campaign said this evening, "Scott Brown is opposed to higher taxes, especially in the midst of a severe recession. Raising taxes will kill jobs. Martha Coakley's tax-raising policies will make it harder to get our economy back on the right track."
This race remains close, with neither candidate consistently polling above 50 percent, though how some could call a race with one candidate consistently polling ahead of the other a tossup is mystifying to some. But in a tight race, particularly at a time of populist fervor, it's not entirely clear that it's good politics for a candidate to line up with the banking industry -- particularly a candidate trying to score an upset on the backs of populist voters.

"You must be really sick in the head if you get aroused by this movie" ~Nick Tiongson, former MTRCB head during the forum at the UP Film Institute before the film itself, March 7, 2008. The film has nudity and scenes that border on pornographic but they are not the story itself. A deeper and sadder truth envelopes the story, serving as eye openers to the socio-cultural reality of the Philippines. Toro is a story about a guy who grew up not knowing how else to waste his life or to make a living having been brought up by a prostitute. Rolly (Paolo Rivero) fears his younger brother might end up like himself who earned his living by performing "live shows" with his colleagues who included Gigi (Klaudia Koronel), Rosita (Ana Capri), Jojo (Marcus Madrigal). Snippets of the lives of Rolly's friends are also shown, adding to the complications in the story. Gigi dreams of working in Japan but was nearly able to begin her application. Rosita tries to take her life over and over in the grief of never being able to hug or talk to her son who was adopted after birth by a family that never wanted the real mother to come and cause chaos in the child's life. Former toro performers, now leading a chaste life with their daughter are forced to return to their former occupation as construction work declines in employment. In the year 2000, this movie became a loud controversy. It irked the conservatives and personalitites of the Church. Its message, the essence of the story was prevented from reaching the people who should have been shown the truth. Klaudia Koronel Paolo Rivero Ana Capri

World Economic Forum
As many of the world's business and government elite start to gather in earnest today in the ski resort of Davos, Switzerland, for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, with the theme "Resilient Dynamism," avoiding slipping on the streets appears to be the first order of business.
Made in the USA is hot again
Clamor for domestically made merchandise is on the rise.
As members register for the event, which starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday, they are handed a bag emblazoned with the WEF motto: "Committed to improving the state of the world." They also get "heel stops" designed to prevent slipping and falling on the winter walkways. The rubber contraptions that strap over the shoe and show metal studs to keep walkers steady seem a more streamlined version of similar preventatives handed out in prior years.
Other bag contents are what's to be expected for the meeting, which boasts 250 events, 60 of which will be live streamed. The small and stout list of members appears to be about 3 inches thick, offering a page and photo on each participant. A list of "constituents" runs nearly as thick. As usual, there will be some 2,500 participants, including global media types, and more than 45 people who are heads of state or government.

The Toronto Maple Leafs havent qualified for the post-season in eight years, dont have a number one centre, are coming off one of the worst collapses in NHL history and recently underwent a coaching change. That certainly doesnt make them sound like an underrated team, yet they are one.
Year in and year out since the 2004-2005 lockout, experts, correspondents and bloggers have ranked the Maple Leafs outside the Eastern Conferences top eight heading into the upcoming season. We now sit about a month and a half away from the beginning of training camp 2012 and the situation isnt any different.
What many people fail to remember is that the Maple Leafs had tremendous success during the first half of the 2011-2012 season, at least for a team that wasnt expected to make the playoffs. They sat first in the entire league in early November and were still in the hunt for the post-season at the All-Star Break. Then, somehow, some way, the Leafs managed an epic collapse that sent them to 13th in the conference, 12 points back of eighth.
All the negativity surrounding the Leafs just goes to show that it is the last bit of something that leaves the biggest impression. People tend to forget the good, and thats exactly what has happened with the majority of Leaf fans and much of the media.
All it takes is one glance back at the first half of the campaign. Take that glance and you will realize that the Leafs are capable of qualifying for the post-season.
It all starts up front, where Leafs general manager Brian Burke has improved his top-six group, although not as much as many would like to see. Still, James van Riemsdyk fits will into head coach Randy Carlyles physical system. Also, as long as he continues to develop and becomes what many people think he can, van Riemsdyk will regularly find himself on the Leafs top line in no time.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Flashing lights designed to awe tourists and make a statement about the city could become part of Clinch Park if city commissioners agree to accommodate Traverse City Film Festival officials.
Film festival president Michael Moore and executive director Deb Lake want to put a three-sided, illuminated marquee with brilliant chase lights on the converted Con Foster Museum building in the city's remodeled bayfront park.
The city's sign ordinance bans blinking or moving lights, but festival officials want the city commission to grant an exception for theaters.
"It's a movie theater and we want it to look authentic," Moore said. "If you turned off all of the lights on the State Theatre, how would it look?"
Many city officials don't appear overly star-struck and voiced concern, if not outright disapproval over the flashing marquee proposal. They plan to consider the request at the Sept. 9 city commission meeting.
The Film Festival raised funds to renovate the dilapidated, city-owned Con Foster building into a small, modern movie house. Festival officials rent the building from the city for $1 a year, and they contend they need flashing lights to attract people to the theater's unusual location and create a total movie experience.
The Bijou temporarily opened during the Film Festival last month and is expected to go into full-time service in October.
The proposed marquee would stretch almost 15 feet across the building, is over 10 feet deep and stands about 8 feet tall. The city board of zoning appeals approved a variance to allow the marquee to extend about a foot higher than the building, but unanimously rejected the request for dazzling, flashing lights after Lake refused to offer any compromise.
"It doesn't fit with the character of a bayfront park," said Margaret Szajner, who sits on both the zoning board and city parks and recreation commission. "Are we going to change the rules every time one person wants something different?"
Moore countered by pointing out that the great waterfronts of America -- from the Navy Pier in Chicago to the city of Detroit's riverfront -- are steeped in lights and lighting.
"The city has already initiated a whole new lighting system and (Clinch Park) is really lit up at night," Moore said.
But some commissioners don't like the idea of moving lights and are reluctant to overrule the zoning board.
"I can't imagine overruling another public body that unanimously voted against it," Mayor Michael Estes said. "I just don't think it's going to fly."
Commissioner Jim Carruthers said he can support a lighted marquee but doesn't understand or agree with the need for flashing lights.
Film festival officials argued the marquee will do for the bayfront what the State Theatre has done for Traverse City's downtown.
"The brilliant moving lights of the State Theatre are the heartbeat of not only the theater, but of downtown TC," festival officials wrote. "It has made downtown a hip and lively place to be and the ripple effect has been amazing for the business community and the area's overall quality of life."
But a bayfront park is not the downtown, Estes said.
"If anything, I would like to see the bayfront calmed down," Estes said. "I don't want a constant amusement park."
Moore plans a more detailed presentation for the city commission than what was presented to the zoning board and said he'll demonstrate that what they plan will be both "cool and tasteful.
"I think they will really like it," he said.

Kathryn Erbe of 'Law & Order: CI' Isn't Cracking Down on Her Cookie Addiction
Thursday, October 4
This morning I was doing the Today show. I was running my son to school, and my daughter was sick. When I'm with my kids, I grab whatever I can find. I had a large iced coffee with soy and sugar and a strawberry nonfat Stonyfield Farm yogurt.
For lunch, embarrassingly enough (it's not very impressive nutritionally), I had a big red organic pear from Fairway and roasted peas.
Wednesday, October 3
I had a peach yogurt and iced coffee.
For lunch I had a leftover chicken sausage that I had made for dinner last Thursday and a Rice Krispie Treat. I only have caffeine and sugar left as far as vices go so I take advantage as much as possible.
For dinner I had some warmed-up penne with butter and Parmesan cheese that my babysitter had made. I am a big fan of leftovers. I buy way too much food, and then when I'm working, it sits in the fridge and doesn't get eaten. I get horrified by how much I waste. I've tried to be a lot better about it. I love ordering in and eating in restaurants, but after a while, there's something missing.
Tuesday, October 2
I had a strawberry yogurt and iced coffee.
I went to Tea Lounge. I spend a lot of time there. I had the house salad, which I get a lot. I get extra guacamole and have them leave out the peppers. It has Feta cheese and croutons. My 4-year-old son Carson and I had some of a gigantic Oreo-cookie cupcake and a Halloween sugar cookie.
For dinner I had a barbecued chicken from Fairway. I had leftover arugula salad with roasted beets that I got at a little market on Court Street. I cut up some Coach Farm triple crème goat cheese and then some wine vinaigrette.
Monday, October 1
I had iced coffee with soy milk.
I had a slice of broccoli pizza from Pacifico Pizza on Pacific and Smith.
For dinner my daughter asked if I could make guacamole. I forgot the tomatoes so it was guacamole with cilantro and a lot of red onions and lime. We had blue-corn chips, and I marinated a tuna steak in tamari, garlic, and cilantro.
Sunday, September 30
I had coffee with soy milk and shared a chocolate-cinnamon loaf from Starbucks on the way to church.
At the Tea Lounge I had tomato-basil quiche and an iced coffee.
For dinner I went to the new Markt and had mussels in garlic and cream, and I asked them to put cilantro in. It was nice to be outside.
Saturday, September 29
I had iced coffee for breakfast and then had a turkey burger with avocado and fries from BLT Burger. And sour-cream pie with vanilla ice cream.
For dinner I had leftover chili. Last year we ate a lot of tuna casserole, and my daughter found tuna bones so I can't make that anymore. This year, chili is the new tuna casserole. I used to really restrict myself as far as what I ate. I've gotten less concerned. Lately I've chosen happiness over skinniness.

(January 12, 2011) Sellersville, PA – Grand View Hospital Community Nurse-Home Care has been honored as one of the nation's best home health agencies for the fourth consecutive year.
The organization is named among the 2010 Home Care Elite, a compilation of the top-performing home health care agencies in the United States.
"Our home health program brings the compassionate and quality care for which Grand View Hospital is known into a person's own home," said Nancy Heaney, Grand View Hospital Community Nurse-Home Care Department manager.
Individuals recovering from surgery, stroke, and cardiac conditions as well as people needing wound care or infusions use Grand View's home health service. "Patients prefer to have care in their own homes rather than in a hospital," Heaney said.
Home care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team of health care professionals and includes registered nurses; physical, occupational and speech therapists; home health aides; and medical social workers. "We always aim to be the best we can be," Heaney said. Despite national recognition four years running, Heaney said Community Nurse–Home Care staff will continue to look for ways to improve.
A range of skilled nursing services tailored to patients' needs is available and may include patient assessment and monitoring; intravenous therapy; dressing changes; catheter care; injections; medication monitoring; and pain management. Home health aide services are also available and include bathing, personal hygiene, and dressing.
Individuals coping with chronic medical conditions, diabetes, and those undergoing rehabilitation also use the service. "Home care provides a level of care, support, and education designed to improve health outcomes for these individuals outside the hospital setting," Heaney said. The organization's record of preventing unplanned hospital care is a big indicator of performance of which Heaney said she is most proud.
For new mothers and babies, maternal-newborn care is provided by experienced maternity nurses who provide assessments and care. They address any problems that may arise following birth and inform the physician.
Criteria for the Home Care Elite award include quality of care, quality improvement, and financial performance. Data used to compile the list of nation's best is based on publically available information. Performance relating to patient quality care was reviewed in several categories and includes: avoiding unplanned re-hospitalizations; improving ambulation; managing pain and treating symptoms; treating wounds and preventing pressure sores. For more information on 2010 Home Care Elite visit www.ocshomecare.com.

This is a Color Presentation
March 30, 2007 4:08 PM
Kris Trexler, a Hollywood film and video editor, has created a great Web site about the early days of color TV—well, it's mainly devoted to his extensive collection of fabulous '50s and '60s cars, but at the bottom of the home page is a section all about the beginnings of color broadcasting.
There's a sample somebody swiped from Kris' site and posted on YouTube: the opening and closing of NBC's second-oldest surviving color videotaped broadcast, the October 1958 special "An Evening With Fred Astaire." Check it out:
Kris also has a fantasic clip from the oldest surviving videotaped black-and-white broadcast, CBS's 1957 "The Edsel Show" spectacular. The car was infamously ghastly and so was the musical fanfare announcing it, but the show was a landmark presentation and full of amazing talent: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Louis Armstrong. Give a look: http://www.ev1.pair.com/edsel/edselshow2.html

Why do I have to arrive so early? Please try to arrive 1 1/2 hours prior to the lesson. The earlier you get here the better. If you need rental equipment, we need time to size your child and set their skis/snowboard for them. The number one reason is so we can get everyone through the registration process and get the classes started on time. We strive to start classes promptly. Getting everyone through registration early helps us to do that.
What should I do when I arrive at Wachusett Mountain? Use the door near the rental ramp and come directly to Polar Kids. We will take care of everything there for you.
What does my child need to wear? Your child should be dressed appropriately for the day and weather. Dress in layers! Good gloves or mittens are highly recommended. You may want to consider bringing an extra change of clothes if it is wet out. Doing so will make for a much more comfortable ride home.
Does my child need a helmet? Helmets are not required but recommended and available to rent upon request.
What does a typical day at Polar Kids entail?
Arrival and Registration Procedures: When you arrive at Polar Kids you will be given a number and reservation sheet (if you made reservations). You can then go to the registration desk, sign in, choose a lunch (full day lessons only), receive matching ID tags, Polar Kids bib and pay for the program.**Polar Kids is a NUT FREE Zone. If you bring your child's lunch, please refrain from any peanut products.**
Rental Procedures: Take your rental contract and child to the Polar Den rental fitting area. After you have been fitted for boots you will find the skis in a wooden rack that is located just inside the back door. Your child's name will be written on the tip of the ski in large letters. Snowboards will be given to you at the exit. All ski & snowboard rentals must be returned to the wooden rack by 4:00 p.m. that day. Boots must be returned to the same location you received them.
Pre-Lesson Information: On Weekends and Holidays after sign-in, go to the Polar Playground located at the base of the Polar Express Chair Lift. You will see a blue fence with a large gateway. Instructors will greet you at the entrance and take your child to the appropriate group. Weekday lessons will meet at the top of the Polar Den back door, stairs. Once your child is with an instructor, you are free to go.
Will my child ride a chair lift? Riding a chair lift depends on your child's level. If your child is Level III or higher they will certainly ride the chairlift. If your child is in a lower level and the class can turn and stop safely, the instructor may bring them on the chairlift as part of the lesson so they can advance to the next level.
Do the classes take breaks? This is at the discretion of the instructor. Breaks are not mandatory and sometimes depend on the weather, the group's ability and snow conditions.
Can I watch my child's lesson? You may certainly watch your child's lesson, but we ask that you do so from a distance. On weekends watch from outside the Polar Playground fence. For your safety and that of others, please don't stand or walk on trails.
Pick-Up/Check-Out Procedures: Pick-up is at the Polar Kids Den at 12:00 p.m. for morning lessons and 3:30 p.m. for afternoon or full day lessons. You and your child MUST go through our check-out process with matching ID cards! NO ONE will be allowed to leave with a child if they do not display the correct ID number. NO CHILD WILL BE RELEASED ON THE HILL. We request that a parent/guardian stay on the premisis while the child is in lesson.
For more information or if you have other questions please feel free to contact Polar Kids at 978-464-2300 x 3304.

Britney Johnson is no stranger to ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. Every year she's donned Tahlequah's orange and black, she has pitched for the Lady Tigers at the hallowed grounds in the state tournament.
Why have it any different this year?
Johnson made sure her senior season would end on Northeast 50th Street in the state's capital by pitching Tahlequah to an 8-0 victory over Coweta in the regional tournament finals at Lady Tiger Field on Thursday.
"It's a very exciting feeling, especially being a senior this year," said Johnson, who pitched a two-hit, complete-game shutout with eight strikeouts.
"I've worked hard so hard to get to this point, and I'm just glad I could experience it with these girls. It's awesome."
Tahlequah (29-7) punched its ticket to the Class 5A state tournament for the third straight year by blasting Coweta for the second straight day. For Tahlequah coach Matt Cloud, its his third trip to the state tournament during his three-year tenure.
"I told the girls this: 'you can't take this for granted, because there could years where you don't go back,'" said Cloud, whose team posted a 12-2 victory in the regional semifinals on Thursday. "...I also told them: 'savor the moment, because there are a lot of high schools kids that never get to experience the state tournament.'"
The regional championship game was never in doubt once Tahlequah took a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Johnson, who finished 2 for 5 at the plate, drove in Tahlequah's first two runs on a double, before Kirsten Chase was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Marisa Girdner for Tahlequah's third run.
From there, Tahlequah kept methodically adding to its lead. Haley Martin's RBI single in the third inning made it 4-0; Whitney Wright's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning made it 5-0; Johnson's infield single scored a run in the fifth to make it 6-0; and Martin's two-run single in the sixth bumped Tahlequah's run total to eight.
Tahlequah collected 12 hits as a team. Martin had a team-high three hits, while Randee O'Donnell and Dry joined Johnson with two hits apiece.
"At the beginning of the season, I was kind of not myself; I wasn't hitting great," said Dry, who notched a double and a triple and scored three times. "But, I feel like I'm getting there."
Coweta's only two hits came courtesy of a Jordan Graham single in the fourth inning and Morgan Hughes' double in the seventh inning. Coweta, also, never advanced a runner past second base, and it only did that twice (Hughes both times, in the second and seventh innings).
"Britney threw a really nice game," Coweta coach Rodney Bowen said of Johnson. "It's hard to win games like that."
By winning the regional crown, Tahlequah halted Coweta's four-year run of making consecutive state-tournament appearances.
"If we beat Collinsville in the last week of the (regular) season, we host [a regional tournament]," said Bowen, whose team lost to Collinsville, 5-2, on Sept. 17 and fell to third place in District 5A-4, which meant playing on the road in the playoffs.
"But that's just how it goes. We get sent here and it is what it is."
Coweta, who finished the season 18-18, had its best chance to score in the second inning when Madison Vaughan — who pinch-hit for Hayley Dodson with a walking boot on her left leg — came to bat with one out and Hughes on second. However, Vaughn — Coweta's starting shortstop, who suffered a leg injury early on in the season — struck out, and so did Kassidy Smith right after her.
"We got the bat taken out our hands a little bit," Bowen said of Vaughn, who struck out looking. "That could have been a big morale booster if we get a chance to swing, but we don't and that's how it goes."
If Johnson (18-6) had it her way, she'd pitch against Coweta three times in the state tournament. In three appearances against Coweta this season, Johnson allowed only two runs on four hits in three easy Tahlequah victories.
"I honestly thought they would be better," Johnson said, "but we took it to them every time."
Tahlequah heads to the state tournament on a five-game winning streak, in which Tahlequah is averaging 9.6 runs per contest.
"It seems like every other day someone else has a big day," Cloud said of his offense. "That's what a team has to do; everybody has to step up, and if someone isn't hitting, everyone has to play good defense."
For Dry, a middle school career at Woodall meant she took in several ORES state tournaments. But she said she's looking forward to her first state tournament at the varsity level.
"I've been to the ORES state tournament, and it's a cool experience," Dry said. " But this is so much more bigger to be a part of. It's just awesome."
In 2011, Tahlequah was the runner-up in the 5A state finals, losing to Carl Albert on the final day of the season. Cloud said his club is heading to central Oklahoma with one word in mind: "finish."
"We have one goal and that's to finish," he said. "We go to the semifinals (in 2010) and get beat, then we go to the finals (in 2011) and get embarrassed. Our goal now is to finish it.
"We're going to take Friday and Saturday off and come in on Sunday and hit it hard on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and know that we gave it all we could. We'll do everything we can to finish the deal; we just have to play good for three more days."

Posted Thursday, October 4, 2012 --- 9:20 a.m.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Public Service Corp. has agreed to freeze electric rates and slightly decrease gas rates next year.
The Citizens Utility Board and the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group opposed a proposed 9 percent increase in electric rates and a nearly 4 percent gas rate the Green Bay utility proposed earlier this year.
WPSC says the freeze is possible by increased electric sales, decreased fuel costs and retaining a $19 million refund to customers. The Stevens Point Journal (http://tinyurl.com/9q7yd85 ) says the utility is expecting approval from state regulators within six weeks.

Anne E. Ross was born in 1890 in Kingston, Ontario, and graduated from the Lady Stanley Institute in Ottawa (later known as the Ottawa Civic Hospital Nursing School) in 1913. After her initial training at the Quebec Military Hospital, she went overseas and saw service with the No. 3 Stationary Hospital and the Duchess of Connaught's Canadian Red Cross Hospital. After a short period in England, at the Astor Estate in Taplow, she served in Lemnos in the Greek Islands, nursing soldiers of the Dardanelles campaign. After a period of convalescence in England following a bout of dysentery she was sent to attend to wounded soldiers in France.
The Anne E. Ross fonds at Library and Archives Canada contains a 14-page narrative in which Anne E. Ross describes her service as a nursing sister, primarily with the No. 3 Stationary Hospital.
The following text uses excerpts from Anne's narrative to provide insight into her war experience through her own words.
In late August 1915, Anne sailed to the Mediterranean where she disembarked at Lemnos. Canada did not send military troops to the Mediterranean, but did provide five medical units that served under harsh, challenging conditions. Colonel G.W.L. Nicholson describes the hardships faced by the Canadian medical units:
Anne recalls that "drinking water was scarce until the Royal Engineers put in a filtration plant. Our meals poor supplies hard to get ships that came to Mudros had no orders to sell us supplies" (Ross narrative, p. 7). She also talks about the other serious health risks she witnessed in addition to battle wounds: "Our patients were from the Dardanelles. Dysentery and wounded. Our personnel began to get amoebic dysentery. Our matron took sick, two N.S. [nursing sisters] and O.C. as well" (Ross narrative, p. 8). The matron and one of the nursing sisters eventually died of the disease. Anne herself became a victim of amoebic dysentery and was sent to England in December.
On February 6, 1916 Anne was sent for duty at Taplow, the Astor estate in England, with the Duchess of Connaught's Canadian Red Cross. Anne left England for France on October 17, 1916, and writes that "life again was different. Winter of 1917 cold and shortage . Each two sisters were allowed one bucket of coal a week" (Ross narrative, p. 10). She continues her narrative through 1917: "Time went on. 1917 passed. Our work was closer to the front than at Taplow. We would evacuate, receive a convoy and so carried on for another year" (Ross narrative, p. 12).
Anne summarizes 1918 and writes about how a well-timed order to evacuate her post prevented a potentially fatal attack: "We came to the big drive in March 1918. The Germans were pushing on to Paris and Amiens. Orders came to evacuate the hospital. I was sent to Etaples in charge of 30 N.S [nursing sisters]. 15 N.S to No. 1 General and 15 N.S. to No. 7" (Ross narrative, p. 12). Anne chose to serve with the No. 1 Canadian General Hospital. She continues, "We stayed there for 2 weeks and orders came to return to the No. 2. Three days later, No. 1 General Hospital was bombed and the tents we were sleeping in wiped out" (Ross narrative, p. 12).
From August 1 to December 5, 1918, Anne was night supervisor. "The duties of night supervisor are many and responsibilities heavy. Night always brought dread of hemorrhages . 36 wards 40 pts [patients] in each ward. Overflow in tents, up to 700 in August. Gas attacks" (Ross narrative, p. 13).
Anne records the Armistice on November 11, 1918, and sums up her narrative by capturing her last few duties in the First World War.

The Express-Star
Five men and one woman were sworn in to become reserve peace officers for the Grady County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) on July 2. This raises the reserve deputy count to 29, according to Undersheriff Rusty Pyle, a significant increase from the four reserve deputies working for the office when the Jim Weir administration took over in early January.
A fraction of the newly sworn officers is certified but the remainder will begin their certification training in September in Ada, Okla.
The reserve team members volunteer at least 16 hours a month, pay for their own ammo and uniforms. In addition, most use their own vehicles, requiring a specific paint job to patrol the county, which is also tallied to out-of-pocket expenses. The Sheriff's Office reimburses only one commodity: Gasoline.
Although they are unpaid, they possess full law enforcement privileges and authority while on patrol.
Pyle said the volunteerism of these officers is deeply appreciated and allows the department to run more efficiently.
"These people do it because they love law enforcement, it's in their blood," Pyle said. "Some of them were reserve officers previously, some of them are retired but still want to be involved."
Pyle said two lieutenants and the major work with the agendas of the reserve officers each month for scheduling, as many have other jobs. Often times however, the reserves are called in to help with special events or emergency situations.
"Our reserves step up and do so much," Pyle said. "They supplement our man power, without them we couldn't do a lot of the things that we do. It'd just be impossible."
The reserve deputies almost doubly outnumber the paid deputies, but this is something that pleases the administration.
"We've probably had about 60 people come to us wanting to be reserve officers," Pyle said. "Of course, we can't take all of them — and there is a certain procedure a person has to go through — they have to pass a psychological evaluation, background check and interview process. We're really proud people want to help out, though."
The GCSO works each day to ensure the streets of Grady County are kept safe and secure, a difficult task as the area amounts to 1,105 square miles.
"All of our deputies do an outstanding job, they really do," Pyle said. "They love the community, they want to make sure the citizens are safe and some of them do it for nothing — that says a lot."

Springfield, Mass. - April 3, 2010 - The Springfield College men's volleyball team punched its ticket to the 2010 Molten Division III Invitational National Championship on Saturday afternoon as it defeated NYU in three games, clinching the EIVA berth for the upcoming national championship.
The Pride cruised past the Violets by the game scores of 30-20, 30-22, 30-19. SC now stands at 16-8, while the Violets drop to 4-17.
Springfield will now represent the EIVA in the 2010 Molten Division III Invitational National Championship which will take place April 16-17 at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisc. Springfield last won the national championship in 2008 as the host as they swept Vassar in the championship game in Blake Arena.
AJ Nally continued his outstanding play as he totaled a match-high 16 kills, hitting .652, to go along with seven digs. Alberto Bravo posted 11 kills, hitting .429, and added eight digs and three blocks. The Pride's block was strong all afternoon as it totaled 13.5 team blocks, including 21 block assists. Cal Palumbo registered seven blocks, while Greg Falcone added six stuffs. Eric Shoemaker handed out 35 assists in the three game win and tacked on five blocks of his own.
For the visitors, Francis Hodgson registered 11 kills at a .556 clip as the only member of the Violets to record double-digit kills. Pattrick Dodd added eight kills and both Taylor Donovan and Luke Hamlet were credited with five kills. Ori Oren delivered 23 assists in two games.
For the match, NYU hit just .061 and had trouble from the service line, committing 19 service errors in three games.
Springfield found themselves down early in the opener, trailing 7-4 after an Mike Pelletier attack error. However, Pelletier made up for it as he spearheaded a 7-2 run from the service line, recording a pair of aces, as the Pride took a 11-9 lead. After Michael Ferragonio tallied a kill to get the Violets within one, the Pride reeled off the game's next five points to take control of the set. Springfield would go on to lead by as much as 10 on three occasions, the last coming on the final point of the set after a Shoemaker kill.
A Hodgson kill brought NYU one at 15-14 in the second game, only to have Springfield score the next four points to once again seize the momentum. The Pride used double block from Falcone and Bravo forced an NYU timeout at 18-14 and a Nally kill provided the hosts with a five-point cushion. NYU would get no closer than five as Springfield won the second set, 30-22, and was one game away from a trip to the Molten's.
The Pride roared out of the gate to take a 12-6 lead to start the third and final game. Getting four kills from Bravo and three blocks from Falcone in the stanza, Springfield cruised to a 30-19 victory as Nally pounded home a back-row kill to complete the match.
Springfield cannot rest on its laurels as it prepares for a critical conference match on Tuesday evening when it hosts St. Francis in its final conference game of the season. With seeding in the upcoming EIVA Division I Tournament on the line, the Pride and Red Flash will square off at 7:00 pm.

Manchester United entertain Crystal Palace on Wednesday night as Old Trafford tastes its first Carling Cup action of the season. Once again the United hierarchy have failed to reduce ticket prices for a match that should be used to entice families and kids to the Theatre of Dreams. Instead, it is likely that large parts of the ground will be empty and the players will be playing in front of another subdued atmosphere.
As for the game itself, United will be looking to advance past the stage they faltered at last year when West Ham United embarrassed the cup holders 4-0 at Upton Park. Similarly Crystal Palace, will be looking to reach their first semi final since 2000/01 when Liverpool convincingly dispatched of them 6-2 on aggregate.
The last meeting between the sides in this competition ended in a 2-0 win to the Reds with Saha and Richardson grabbing the goals in November 2004. There is only one survivor from the United line up that night, Darren Fletcher although it is unlikely he will feature in the tie this time around. However, a similar result to that of seven years ago will suit Sir Alex Ferguson's men as they look to focus their attention on the Premier League festive run in.
The Opposition
Crystal Palace go in to Wednesday evening's game looking for their first win in five. Dougie Freedman's men are on a poor run of form at the moment, one which has also seen them fail to register a single goal in those five games. However, in the Carling Cup they have had some noticeable results. In the first round they saw off Crawley Town 2-0, a tie that could have been considered a potential upset given the big spending nature of the League Two club. They then caused their own upset by beating Premier League strugglers Wigan 2-1 and followed that up with a win against Middlesbrough by the same score line. They were rewarded with a tie against United when they beat the Championships pace setters Southampton by two goals to nil.
All of these ties have been at Selhurst Park though and they will face a wholly different proposition coming up against the might of Manchester United at Old Trafford. The task of getting a result will be made even tougher given the Eagles' erratic away form. In their 9 away Championship games they have won 4, lost 5 and drew 0. Scoring 10 and conceding 12 in the process. Saying they blow hot and cold away from home would be a fair statement to make. If they are to upset the odds tomorrow night they will need some big performances from their most important players including youngsters Nathaniel Clyne and Wilfried Zaha.
Clyne has attracted some serious interest from Premier League clubs after his impressive performances at right back for Palace last season. He played in every league game, becoming the youngest ever player to do so. He has resisted the temptation to fly the Eagles' nest thus far but it won't be long before he is plying his trade in the Premier League. Old Trafford will be the perfect stage for him to showcase his talent and it should inspire him to put in a solid performance.
While Clyne will be tasked with keeping United's attackers quiet, Wilfried Zaha will be given the responsibility to try and unlock the United defence with his pace and trickery. He has three goals in the competition already and five in total for the season. While not prolific in front of goal, Zaha has the attributes to trouble what will be a youthful United backline. He'll cause problems on the counter attack whether it be by running at the defence or chasing a ball over the top. Whoever Ferguson selects at the back, they'll need to be on their guard.
As another Carling Cup games rolls around, all the buzz is about what youngsters will feature in this tie. Sir Alex Ferguson has dropped strong hints that Paul Pogba could make his first start given the depleted nature of our midfield. Ravel Morrison could also be involved with Ferguson saying he should make the bench at the very least. Zeki Fryers should make his third start in the competition, while Jesse Lingard, Larnell Cole and the Keane twins will also be hoping to make the squad having done so in previous rounds and have been training with the first team squad. Whoever makes the squad will be accompanied by a good blend of experience and players who need minutes on the pitch.
Ferguson has said there will be wholesale changes again meaning most, if not all, who started the weekend draw against Newcastle will be left out. The only exception could be Fabio but with his twin brother needing a game after returning from injury, Rafael could get the nod. Smalling and Evans could form a strong central defensive partnership as both needs minutes after recovering from knocks. That could see Fryers occupy the left back berth like he did against Aldershot. In what will be his toughest game yet, he could be faced with the task of containing Zaha if he is employed out wide or is given a free role behind a main striker. I have no doubt he will be up to the task and put in another strong performance. Confidence will be coursing through his body given the faith Ferguson has shown in him and the positive feedback/encouragement he has received from his Twitter followers.
Ahead of the defence the front six could allow for some flexibility. Michael Owen has succumbed to injury yet again and will not be able to add to his three goals in the competition. Dimitar Berbatov was missing from the squad for the Newcastle game due to a knock but if fit he should return to lead the line. If not, Kiko Macheda and Mame Diouf could partner each other in attack. Similarly, without the experience of Berbatov, Ferguson could adopt a fluid 4-5-1 formation especially if Pogba is going to be handed his full debut. That could see Diouf or Macheda out wide allowing for the potential to move to 4-4-2 depending on the flow of the game. Antonio Valencia will likely take his place on the right wing as he continues to try and rediscover his form.
Although it will not sit easy with many United fans, it is likely Darron Gibson will make his first start of the season against Palace. It will cause even more unrest if it comes at the expense of Pogba or Morrison getting a start. However, given he was on the bench against Benfica and Newcastle it appears he is still in the Ferguson's thoughts ahead of the aforementioned reserve players. Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher are our only two recognised fit central midfielders so Ji Sung Park could again be utilised in that role alongside Gibson. Ryan Giggs could also slot in and would be a good choice to play alongside Pogba if the Frenchman was to start. It may also be suitable to have Giggs or Park play in a midfield three with Gibson and Pogba.
The team, like every other round, is very much up in the air. The fans will live in hope that our promising youngsters get the chance to shine at Old Trafford. I, for one, will not get my hopes too high. If they make the starting XI, great. If not, let's get behind the players who are playing and get a result that will see us progress to the semi finals.
Predicted Line up: Amos, Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Fryers, Valencia, Gibson, Park, Diouf, Macheda, Berbatov
Scoreline Prediction
Crystal Palace will be no mugs and I fully expect this to be our toughest test in the competition yet even though we are at home. Saying that, Palace are on a dismal scoreless run and if United field a strong defence like the one I have predicted, I can't see them breaching that. We should have enough in attack to grab the goals that will see us through comfortably in the end so I'll go with 3-0.

A third-grader climbed into his mom's SUV after school one day but was uncharacteristically quiet. His mom noticed that his eyes were red and swollen. "What's the matter, sweetheart?"
"Tommy's mom died this weekend," he managed to say.
"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. What did you say to Tommy?" his mom inquired.
"I didn't say anything, Mom. I just sat there with him and cried."
Our beloved friends from Texas, Hugh and Arlene, sent us this email: "Kenny, we love you guys. No words of wisdom or advice. Jesus said His yoke was easy and the burden that accompanies is light so we don't need to be weighed down. If we could just get our emotions on board with that.... Again, we love you. Sometimes that's all we got."
No one knows what to say when you are in the wilderness, when doubts and fear assault us. I can say unequivocally that knowing you are not alone means more than all the words of wisdom in the world.
I cannot tell you how much your love, your prayers, your support... your very presence, not physically, but spiritually, has meant to Wanda and me. We are eternally grateful.
Psalm 4:1 in the King James Version says, "Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress." Amen to that. God has certainly enlarged us in so many ways. Our faith has grown stronger as we have had to FROG it (Fully Rely On God).
Our hearts have swelled with love for all of you who have prayed for us, called us, emailed us, loved us and yes, cried with us. Our love for each other – Wanda and I – has grown exponentially during this time.
It is easy to lash out at each other whenever you are afraid, exhausted and emotionally spent. Our Journey Family has put up with me over the last few weeks when my preaching has been anything but "stellar." Through their understanding, love and grace, we have seen His face shining through and have garnered the courage to keep on keeping on.
The Lord tells us to not be weary, for we shall reap if we do not give up. He promises that if we hang in there and keep trusting Him, "your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I" (Isaiah 58:8-9 NIV).
And the Lord has been true to His promise. Baby Zane had 10 chemo treatments last week. Then his white count dropped as well has his hemoglobin and platelets. He needed a blood transfusion.
But the little booger has a big, healthy heart, which we prayed for long before he got here. And he is a fighter. He has bounced back like a champion. As I write this, all his counts are back to normal.
He has gained almost a pound up to a whopping 4 pounds, 15 ounces. As I write this, they are moving him to progressive care and out of neonatal intensive care. Every day is another day closer to Big Z coming home.
One more prayer request if you don't mind. Zane needs to be able to take a bottle before he goes home. They tell us that Downs kids have a problem learning how to suck and when they do, their muscles tire easily.
Zane now will take half a bottle and just get tired. I know it sounds strange, but we are looking forward to the day when we can say, "Big Zane sucks." It will be a big "praise the Lord!" We can't wait.
God bless you all.

Insurance giant USAA is facing a change in management next year now that long-time CEO Joe Robles Jr. has announced he is entering retirement.
Robles, who served 28 years in the Army, first served on the USAA Board of Directors and joined the company as chief financial officer and controller in 1994. He also served as corporate treasurer and chief administrative officer before taking the helm as CEO and president in 2007.
I talked to the San Antonio Symphony's Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing today and asked what many in the arts community are wondering: who will be the focus of next year's music festival?
"Richard Strauss," revealed Lang-Lessing.
"For me it was just a natural way to celebrate the 75th anniversary with a Strauss festival," he said.
It's the San Antonio Symphony's 75th year of playing and to get that anniversary started right, he had another big announcement.
"We open with Renee Fleming, so I'm very thrilled that this works out," Lang-Lessing said.
In another sign of a recovering economy, larger loans to new small businesses are on the rise.
Acción Texas, Inc. has announced its best fourth quarter to date for Small Business Administration 504 lending. The nonprofit small business lender this week announced its SBA 504 lending division had a record fourth quarter of $12.9 million in loans, a figure 77 percent higher than the previous year.
Bob Schraitle, vice-president of the 504 division, credits several factors, including pulling out of the recession, for the marked increase in new loans.
Fronteras: The exhibit Standing Their Ground: Tejanos at the Alamo takes a new look at the story of the Alamo siege and battle. Water experts say the Southwest should get used to the idea of drinking recycled water as treatment plants become more sophisticated. Water "czar" Pat Mulroy has just retired -- she leaves behind a big legacy and big lessons about the Colorado River during this record drought.
Texas Matters: The addition of rocker/conservative-activist Ted Nugent to the campaigning in the race for governor only served to add fuel to an already blazing fire. More on opposition research and it's role in modern campaigning, and how hydraulic fracking in North Texas could play a role in the race for railroad commissioner. Also on this show: Air quality in the Eagle Ford Shale, and a look at the next generation of Texas oil field workers.
An internal poll put out by Dan Branch's campaign for attorney general found 40 percent of those surveyed were undecided.
And that has political experts like Professor Cal Jilson, who teaches political science at Southern Methodist University, pointing to the fact that many voters don't know the candidates in the race.
"The AG is the third most important statewide office and at that level voters start thinking, 'You know, I don't really know these guys.' And if they recognize the names they don't have any details behind that," Jilson said.
This week I caught up with The Playhouse's Asia Ciaravino for an overview of the remaining season, and a peek at the fall. By any measure it's been a wild year for The Playhouse. After last May's damaging spring thunderstorm, they've managed to fix the theater, then pull off an ambitious winter schedule in both of their theaters. Now comes their spring and summer schedule.
A Bexar County Sheriff's deputy has been indicted on charges of murder in a case involving an off-duty deputy who allegedly shot and killed another driver on North Loop 1604 last summer.

The subject of women's health care once again drew a crowd to the state capitol at the same time some lawmakers touted the progress made by the stated-funded Texas Women's Healthcare Fund.
State Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Dallas, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, said women's health care in Texas is funded at record levels, serving more women than it ever has.
"Last session the Legislature prioritized women's health and provided an additional $240 million to reach an additional 170,000 women," Nelson said.
This weekend hundreds of singers will gather in San Antonio, but what they sing isn't common. So much so that I had to look up Sacred Harp singing to be sure of what it was. After doing so, I caught up with a pair of its practitioners in a noisy Portland Oregon train station.
"It's an old southern hymn tradition that's still alive, and in the last 10 or 20 years has broken out of the south and taken root worldwide," said John Berendzen.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Avon Marching Black & Gold has again garnered national recognition for its performance in the Bands of America Grand National Championships this past weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Ninety bands from 21 states gathered in Indianapolis for three rounds of competition. The finals Saturday night featured the 12 highest scoring bands.
While four of the final bands hailed from central Indiana, the other bands represented seven states including Florida and Texas. This year, Avon finished third overall behind Carmel and Broken Arrow, Okla. Carmel won the championship this year for the first time since 2006.
The Avon Marching Black & Gold performed its show entitled "Feast or Famine." The show features musical selections that are boisterous and loud to represent a musical feast and selections that are softer and slower in nature to suggest famine.
"The quality of the bands competing in the Grand Nationals continues to reach new heights," Band Director Jay Webb said. "I'm so proud of the 300 kids from Avon who have practiced hundreds and hundreds of hours over the last six months. They really gave it their all during the Bands of America competition.
"This year was also special because Avon shared the Espirit de Corps Award. The Al Castronova Espirit de Corps Award is given annually by the Bands of America staff to recognize the band that best exemplifies the important intangibles that underlie successful band programs: camaraderie, integrity, teamwork, and spirit. This year, Avon was a co-awardee, along with Bridgewater-Raritan High School from Bridgewater, N.J., a community heavily impacted by Hurricane Sandy."
Despite reeling from the aftereffects of the hurricane, the Bridgewater-Raritan Band kept its commitment to perform in Lucas Oil Stadium. Many of the students had been without electricity, heat, or water in their homes for more than a week, and the band had been unable to practice. After a 12-hour bus ride, the band arrived at Avon High School to cheers from students and parents. They enjoyed a hot meal provided by the band boosters and used the facilities at the high school to prepare for their performance.
Bridgewater-Raritan's director, Larry Markiewicz, reflected on his experience in the following e-mail sent to band staff:
"The Avon High School music program is the most amazing class act I have ever seen in my career of doing this wonderful activity. The sheer emotion of their heartfelt greeting and fantastic homemade meal moved many of us (myself included) to tears. The kids will never forget this and no matter what happens this week, that (reception) made this trip worth it."
The Avon Marching Black & Gold have won the Grand National Championships three times - in 2008, '09, and '10. In 2011, the band came in second. This is the second time the band has been honored with the Espirit de Corps recognition, the only band to have been honored twice.
Recently a group of parents and alumni formed a group, Avon Band Together, to help support the program's winning tradition and the important lessons that the band program promotes in Avon's youth: dedication, teamwork, music appreciation, time management, and others. Membership in Band Together is open to anyone who wants to help current and future Avon High School students excel on the state, regional, and national band scene.
Avon Band Together is soliciting new members to help reach its goal of a $5,000 donation to the band on Nov. 20. For more information, visit the website AvonBand.com and click the "Band Together" tab at the top of the page or find the group on Facebook.

Herald Staff Report
The Clinton Herald
---- — DAVENPORT — A 1-2 finish in doubles led Camanche to the title of the Davenport Assumption Invitational girls tennis meet Saturday.
Kylie Vogel, last year's Class 1A state runner-up in singles, teamed with Lindsey Grams to win all six of their sets en route to the doubles title. They beat teammates Taylor Bialas and Brett Hilgendorf 6-2, 6-3 in the final.
"Taylor and Brett played their best match of the day against Kylie and Lindsey," Camanche coach Erin Montgomery said.
Bialas and Hilgendorf needed to win a tiebreaker in the semifinals to reach the championship match.
In singles, Nicole Nielsen placed fifth for the Indians, while teammate Maddie Parker was seventh. Nielsen bounced back from a 6-2, 4-6, (6) loss to Muscatine's Nicole Harper in the first round and beat a pair of Davenport West players in the consolation rounds.
"Nicole had a great day finishing fifth in a singles division that had mostly number 1s and 2s," Montgomery said. "It's also nice to see Parker's game improving in each match she plays."
River Queens win 2
BETTENDORF — Clinton impressed coach Cindy Rasche by beating Iowa City West and Iowa City High in a pair of duals Saturday. The two Iowa City schools also played Bettendorf, a team Clinton had beaten Thursday.
"To bring in three wins (against those teams) was a great thing," Rasche said. "All three should be in the top eight in the state."
Junior Shannon Shovlain and freshman Samantha Brisch pulled out the key win of the day. Their 10-4 victory was Clinton's lone win in doubles against City High, and it gave the River Queens a 5-4 victory. Shovlain also had a dramatic win at No. 6 singles, beating Abbey Vitosh 11-10 (2).
The River Queens (4-0) defeated West 7-2 in its other dual, although there were several closes matches in that dual, too.
Clinton won two of the doubles matches by 10-8 scores, while the other was an 11-9 win.

SEATTLE - Robert Cropley did a double take when he checked his June 520 toll bill online.
"I just checked my bill, and found I was charged twice. They charged me for going in both directions," said Cropley.
Monday through Friday, Cropley's commute takes him from Seattle to Kirkland. He prefers to travel I-90 and avoid the 520 toll, but if traffic is too thick, he'll pay the toll to save time.
According to Cropley, on June 22, he traveled in the westbound lanes of 520 to get home from work. However, his Good-to-go account stated that he had traveled westbound and eastbound, at the same time on the same day.
"I just don't want it to be swept under the rug. I want them to actually get it fixed. It's been going long enough that there shouldn't be any more glitches in it," said Cropley about the 520 toll system.
Cropley said he emailed a complaint the WSDOT Thursday. He is waiting on a response.
KING 5 contacted WSDOT, and reached spokesperson Patty Michaud by phone.
"I haven't heard of any major issues with the billing system," said Michaud.
Michaud said if drivers suspect any inaccuracies with their toll bill, they need to contact customer service at 1-866-936-8246. If you leave a message, like Cropley did, someone will get back to you, according to Michaud.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sweetie94 These shoes changed my life! I am not a runner. I am a 63 year-old female and have had mild to moderate arthritis in my knees and hip for several years and more recently in my ankles and toes. I haven't worn high heels in probably 30 years and choose my footwear for comfort rather than style. Even walking as little as 70-75 yards was difficult and standing on a hard surface for more than 10-15 minutes was painful. I am so thankful to the salesman at Dick's for suggesting I try these shoes on. I don't recall ever paying more than $100.00 for any pair of shoes in my life, but once I had these on my feet, I was amazed at the almost immediate improvement in the way my back, hip, knees and feet felt! It had never occurred to me that a running shoe would be of any help to someone who simply needed a comfortable pair of walking shoes. I only wish Brooks would incorporate this technology into a boot, a sandal, a medium-high heel, a loafer and a flat and then I would never need to even look at another brand of shoe! I have also noticed a real improvement in my energy level at the end of the day and I know it's because of these shoes. Thanks, Brooks! Thanks, Dick's! Also, thanks to Mikey, the very polite, helpful and knowledgable sales associate in the shoe department at Dick's! April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nonny 5th pair and still A+! I discovered Brooks Ariel sneakers years ago, and have been delighted with every pair. I'm 70, still very active, but tend to pronate one foot, and this shoe is made for me. Don't you dare change this shoe! November 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by pepperntexas Excellent shoe for those who pronate I have been wearing the Brooks Ariel for about 9 years. It is an excellent shoe for anyone who pronates. I go through 3-4 pairs a year as this shoe is all that I wear- for work, play, even church. I am flat footed and can walk without pain when I wear these shoes. Although designed for a runner, they work great for all around activity. November 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ms Dre' My Feet Are Sooooo Grateful I am a nurse and I suffer with severe over pronation. The podiatrist that visits the nursing rehab ctr where I work overheard me telling my coworkers about all the shoes I've gone threw and how my feet are in agony. He immediately told me about this shoe after he looked at my feet. I ordered them right there- I'm am ecstatic!! I bought a second pair recently so I'd have a pair specifically for work and a pair for everyday!! If you suffer from severe over pronation buy these shoes. I'm buying another pair so I will have a spare in my closet!!! Thank you Dick's Sporting Goods for having these wonderful lifesavers!!! November 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by nothappy Not happy at all with this purchase I expected light blue. But I got light green. The picture on this page shows shoes being a light blue color. The picture on Dicks's Web site shows a light blue color. But the shoes I received are definitely a light green color. I'm not happy. October 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by oldcoot74 This is an excellent shoe for the money The shoe is a little pricey, but seems to be an excellent product. If it holds up like I think it will, I'll be buying another pair. August 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Muffin Exactly as described! Finally I have found a shoe I can walk my 3 miles per day in that I do not have discomfort in after my walk. I love these shoes. My podiatrist recommended Brooks shoes, and I am not at all disappointed. The only thing I am sorry about is that they do not carry wide in Dick's stores so I have to purchase on line. August 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Stacy Wonderful Shoe! Dick's only offers this shoe online with the benefits of returning it directly to your local store. I normally wear a size 9W but had to order up to a 9 1/2W. Return was easy and with the price of this shoe, the shipping is free. (A little on the expensive side but that is Brooks, not Dick's) I had surgery on both of my feet last year and have had to look for a shoe deep enough to allow for inserts. This shoe fits the bill. However, because these shoes felt so good on my feet, knees and legs - I tried to wear them a day without my custom inserts. It felt great! No special inserts for me now with this wonderful shoe. Of course, I spoke to my foot doctor before I did this. I am ordering a second pair today. June 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Walker Outstanding shoe I have worn Ariels for years. They are the only shoe design that I can walk in for miles right out of the box. I've read some complaints about newer editions of the Ariel shoe, but I have never had a problem with them. They are absolutely worth the money. If my ankles and knees start to hurt again, I know it is time for a new pair, but I get at least a half year out of a pair. I'm trying to stave off joint surgery, and these shoes make it possible. April 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dixiegirl Excellent for Problem Feet I have plantar facitis and low arches. This is my second pair of Brooks "Ariel" and I would highly recommend this shoe. I am not a runner but a walker. I usually wear an 8 wide but I need an 8.5 wide in Brooks athletic shoes. They fit perfect right out of the box. I had no break in time. They are well padded and comfortable, yet light weight. I am disappointed in one thing, the "Ariel" is difficult to find. I believe that is because it has been replaced with another "Ariel" model. I just hope this one meets the same standards as the old one, because it is the best shoe on the market for my particular issues. March 4, 2013
