All eyes on season's end in Cleveland
Changes in Cleveland would surprise absolutely no one, given the club's new ownership and yet another losing season.
Gordon caught eight passes for 86 yards on Sunday against Kansas City.||||||| The rookie set a new season high for receptions, one week after recording a season-best 116 yards.
Gordon hauled in six receptions for a career-high 116 yards and a score in Sunday's 20-17 win at Oakland.||||||| While Gordon has proven inconsistent at times, he's more than capable of breaking out on any given Sunday. He's certainly someone to keep in mind once next season rolls around.
Gordon caught two passes _ both touchdowns _ for 82 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.||||||| These were the first two touchdowns for the rookie, who had seven catches for 93 yards in four games prior to Sunday.
Cleveland took Gordon in the second round of the NFL's supplemental draft Thursday. He was the only player selected and the Browns must forfeit their second-round pick in the 2013 draft.||||||| Gordon was suspended for marijuana as a junior in 2011 at Baylor. He transferred to Utah, but decided not to play. He caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns in 2010. "I don't know if it is risky, that is kind of where we thought he was as a player," Browns general manager Tom Heckert said of spending a second-rounder on Gordon. "Obviously he's a guy who can come in here and be a starter for us and make plays for us."

Undergraduate Student Handbook
Sexual assault is not tolerated in the George Fox community. These behaviors also violate local, state and federal law. Sexual assault can occur between any two people, regardless of age or gender. The University highly encourages survivors to take advantage of the provided internal and external resources for reporting, support and help.
Sexual assault is defined as any nonconsensual sexual touching or intercourse, whether it is unforced or forced. This includes any contact with intimate body parts of an individual. It is also penetration, however slight, of any intimate body part with a body part or an object.
Consent is explicit, informed, voluntary and mutually understandable communication to willingly participate in specific sexual activity without pressure, threats, coercion, force or intimidation. Either person must also be able to withdraw consent and cease any sexual activity at any time. A current relationship, having previous sexual encounters, or silence from the individual may not be taken as an indication of consent. Similarly, a passive response or sexual advances that are not resisted physically or verbally do not constitute consent.
Someone who is not of legal age, has a mental disorder, or is physically or mentally incapacitated may not give consent. The use of alcohol or drugs may render an individual incapable of giving consent due to impaired judgment and the inability to make decisions or communicate intentions. Consent may not be given by someone who is unconscious or unaware, or for any reason is unable to communicate her/his intentions.

Rachel Willis, Sustainability Coordinator
Rachel recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Environmental Science from Allegheny College. As a student she shaped her studies, activities, and lifestyle to support and lead Allegheny in reaching its goal of sustainability and carbon neutrality by 2020. As the Director of Sustainability for Student Government she was able to create a coordinating committee for all parties involved and concerned by sustainability initiatives, including Residence Life, Dining Services, Facilities, Faculty members, and representatives from student groups on campus. The group worked together, therefore reducing overlapping efforts and streamlining communication between parties.
In the classroom and during internships, Rachel was involved in several projects linked to sustainability and environmental health. She conducted research on sustainable urban development for Meadville, developed lesson plans to work with pregnant teens on healthy eating habits, and led a workshop for science teachers on best management practices for storm water on campus.
She is excited to continue advancing similar initiatives here at Skidmore and working with students, faculty, and staff. Here, she will be in charge of the S-Rep program, creating a sustainability tour of campus, helping conservation efforts on campus with the North Woods Stewards and the Conservation Corps.

At D&R Fruit Market, Manager Neil Stewart has noticed an increase in the number of people opting to plant vegetable gardens.
"With the price of food — more and more people are getting started each year," he said.
The options for vegetable and fruit gardens are almost limitless.
Many businesses are offering large varieties for Cass County residents to choose from.
At Chuck's Towers and Flowers, customers can choose among broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, cantaloupe, watermelon, 11 varieties of peppers, four varieties of cabbage, 18 varieties of tomatoes, three types of squash and three varieties of cucumbers.
Stewart said D&R Fruit Market already had several varieties available and expects more to arrive.
"I can't think of anything we don't have that someone may be looking for," he said. "We have a full line of garden vegetables."
While Chuck's Towers and Flowers owner Chuck Deitz recommends people wait until after the last good frost to plant vegetables, he said the cutoff date for planting varies.
"It all depends on the time it takes to mature," he said. "Most vegetables take between 60 to 90 days to get a crop."
He said some gardeners prefer to stagger vegetables such as beans. If the gardeners want fresh beans during the summer, they will plant one crop during the first of May, a second during the third week of May and a third during the first week of June.
For the most part, growing a vegetable garden is pretty simple, though Stewart added that a successful garden could take some time to maintain. Preparing the soil is key.
According to Deitz, another main requirement is keeping the weeds out of the garden.
"If you keep your garden clean, it will do much better," said Deitz. "If we have a dry spell, you need to water, too."

After Russell Wilson's third touchdown pass of the third quarter, the announcers stated the obvious, that the Seahawks rookie quarterback looked like a shoo-in as the Pro Bowl MVP.
He'd been the game's most effective player, with three touchdowns in just 10 pass attempts, and also the most exciting, doing those things Russell Wilson does – darting around Hawaii like a mongoose to avoid capture.
So, it took some throat clearing when they announced that Wilson was passed over as MVP in favor of Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph, who had five catches and one touchdown.
Gee, imagine Russell Wilson's surprise at being overlooked.
That's OK, Seahawks fans, this will work in your favor. Because I suspect that somewhere in Russell Wilson's mental hard drive, there's a lengthy spreadsheet of slights, oversights, insults and affronts.
They're dated and collated by degree of gall. And this may just be another that brings him back ever more focused.
The appearance of Wilson and five other Seahawks made Sunday's Pro Bowl tolerable in stretches. And it was a worthy investment in time for the evidence it offered about the state of the Seahawks heading toward the fall.
Of the six Seahawks in action Sunday, five are 26 or younger, with only kick returner Leon Washington the outlier (30). Four of the six have been in the league four or fewer seasons.
All are under contract for next season, and with health and good fortune, most of them look likely to return to the Pro Bowl – with several other teammates who are obvious threats to join them.
That's if the NFL continues the all-star game at all. Although NBC won the ratings for Sunday night with the game, it was nonetheless down 8 percent from last year.
The game is dealing with the obvious flaw that its casual nature eliminates football's basic appeal … competitive intensity.
Last year's Pro Bowl so resembled the annual PowderPuff game between the Pi Phis and Tri-Delts that commissioner Roger Goodell threatened to dump it entirely. And this is the man whose mission has been to diminish violent contact in the NFL.
In large part thanks to the energetic contributions of the Seahawks' representatives, this edition had better pace. This was more in the line of a practice speed drill that some coaches call "thud," which means running hard to the ball, delivering a hit forceful enough to make a sound, and then ceasing hostilities. It's a safer facsimile of real football.
There's no way to measure this, but the thuds created by the Seahawks were noticeable.
Washington not only tried to return every kick that stayed inbounds (and set a Pro Bowl record with a 92-yarder), he also appeared to make every tackle on AFC returner Josh Cribbs – who happens to be tied with Washington for career TD returns. Washington seemed personally dedicated to keeping Cribbs from scoring.
Safety Earl Thomas intercepted a pass and delivered a couple of game-speed hits. Marshawn Lynch scored a TD and went at least partial Beast Mode on one run when he was surrounded but refused to be taken down.
The two offensive linemen, center Max Unger and Russell Okung, were solid in a game in which it's hard for one of their kind to stand out.
Washington told Seahawks.com after the game that he considered the Pro Bowl a springboard into next season.
"No doubt about it, this sets the tempo for next year," he said. "(Opponents are) going to know whether they play the Seahawks in the Pro Bowl or the preseason, we're going to come to play."
And viewers previously unfamiliar with Wilson will come to learn that he makes for entertaining viewing whenever he gets the ball in his hands.
Interviewed on the sideline by Doug Flutie – whom Wilson towered over by at least an inch – the Seahawks rookie explained how much the week at the Pro Bowl meant to him.
The biggest thing, he said, was being able to spend time with quarterbacks such as Drew Brees and the Manning brothers. Really, though, it was the connection to Brees that he's been looking to make, since Brees has been so successful while viewing the game from a similar stature.
Flutie asked Wilson his overall impression of the Pro Bowl.
"I hope they keep the Pro Bowl … so I can keep coming back," he said.
The suspicion is that he's got it in his mind to come back to claim an MVP trophy that already should have his name on it.Dave Boling: 253-507-8440 firstname.lastname@example.com @DaveBoling

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
There has been considerable pressure by electronic cigarette dealers and the public against state proposals for regulations and taxes on e-cigarettes. South Carolina has recently decided to put their state plans on hold and wait to see what federal regulations will be in this area.
A relative recently suffered a severe heart attack and was told to quit smoking. After having smoked since his teens, he found this hard to do, so he tried switching to e-cigarettes. He reported feeling better and losing his cough. Comments from numerous long-term cigarette users give the same type of reports.
My father suffered and died from complications of tobacco use when he was younger than my children are now. The evaluation of health dangers of using e-cigarettes is not yet determined, but using these, rather than regular tobacco, may reduce the costs and suffering from tobacco-related illnesses.
I have never used tobacco and have no financial interest in this issue, but believe long-term tobacco users who can't quit smoking should not be discouraged by excessive taxes and excessive regulations of an alternative that most medical professionals say can't be as bad as regular cigarettes.

From the Greek word, chalx, meaning "lime."
Description and Occurrence
Calcite crystals occur in over 300 forms -- more than any other mineral. Its more common forms are rhombohedron, scalenohedron, and prism. It can also appear tabular, acicular, fibrous, powdery, granular, compact, stalctitic, oolitic, or earthy. It occurs in various colors: white, pale shades of gray, yellow, red, green blue, brown to black.
In the building industry, calcite is used as a component in cement, a filler in paint, and as a structural and ornamental stone. Crushed calcite (lime) is used to mark the lines on a playing field. Clear crystals were once used to make polarizing prisms, and they are still used today in optical instruments.
In San Diego County, calcite mines can be found in the badlands of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and near the Salton Sea in Imperial County. During World War II, calcite was considered for use in targeting instrumentation, and mines were opened near the Salton Sea. Mining was halted when a synthetic material was invented, replacing calcite.
Field Notes: Calcite breaks into perfect, six-sided crystals (rhombohedrons). Placing a drop of vinegar or dilute hydrochloric acid on a sample will cause it to fizz. A clear specimen shows a double image when looked through.

By Doug Ireland
---- — KINGSTON — Opposition is mounting against a proposal to establish a public indoor shooting range on Route 125.
Neighbors say the range, proposed by Samantha Mooskian of Seabrook, would present a health hazard and reduce property values.
The 14-lane shooting range would be located inside a commercial building at 21 Route 125 also occupied by East Coast Metal Works.
But neighbors, including Hillside Road residents Martin Orio and Timothy Shea, are concerned and have asked town officials to deny the request.
"Reduced property values, lead and noise are the three big things," Orio said. "This kind of facility has been proven across the country to lower property values."
Orio said he and his wife, Andrea, also are concerned about the toxic lead dust created by the firing of firearms. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has linked lead to numerous human health problems, he said.
Martin Orio said they are worried about potential noise day and night, seven days a week. The range would be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. if approved.
Shea said he has the same concerns as Orio, noting the site lies within an aquifer protection zone.
"Lead dust is a major concern for me," said Shea, the father of a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old. "It's horrific on children."
Orio and Shea said they are not opposed to the Second Amendment right to bear arms and their opposition is not due to the fatal shootings of 26 people in Newtown, Conn., last month.
They just don't think a firing range should be allowed in their neighborhood.
"This is not a march on guns, it's a march on lowering property values and with no regard for local residents," Orio said.
Shea said Mooskian has no regard for the neighbors' rights.
"The applicant has no concern for anyone but herself," he said.
Orio and Shea said they plan to speak out against the shooting range when it goes before the Zoning Board of Adjustment on Feb. 14.
"I will fight this," Shea said. "I will not give up."
Feb. 14 won't be the first time the proposal has gone before town officials.
The zoning board unanimously approved Mooskian's request for a special exception in September, according to Chairman Electra Alessio.
The town's zoning ordinance neither permits nor prohibits a shooting range in that area, thus the need for a special exception.
But when the proposal went before the Planning Board in December, it was determined some abutters had not been notified about the project, she said. It's the applicant's responsibility to notify abutters.
Approximately half a dozen businesses in a nearby complex were not notified, even though the complex's owner was contacted, Alessio said.
The special exception needed for the range to operate in the town's commercial zone was nullified.
While a few residents have spoken in opposition to the project, no one has spoken in favor of the proposal, Alessio said.
The zoning board heard the request for a second time Jan. 10, but the hearing was continued until Feb. 14 so Mooskian could provide more information about the project.
Mooskian, a former Kingston resident, said she's prepared to answer any questions about the project when she goes before the board.
She said she proposed locating the facility in Kingston because the closest public shooting range is in Manchester.
She disputes the neighbors' claims about noise and the dangers of lead dust, which she said would not be a problem because it's enclosed. The noise from the firing of weapons would be within legal limits and not heard late at night, she said
Orio and Shea said they should have been notified about the project, but Alessio and Mooskian said it was not required because they are not abutters.
Mooskian said she plans to run a well-supervised shooting range. She said she thinks the neighbors are blowing the issue out of proportion.
"It's all fear, it's fear of the unknown," she said. "It's time to educate people."

N.C. State mens basketball coach Mark Gottfried said he wanted more options in the frontcourt next season. The Wolfpack added another big man to its recruiting class Monday with the commitment of forward Lennard Freeman.
Freeman, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound power forward from Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, joins fellow forwards BeeJay Anya and Kyle Washington in the class and will be the fifth newcomer for Gottfrieds third team. Freeman confirmed the decision on his Twitter account Monday.
N.C. State has to replace its top two forwards from this seasons NCAA tournament team. C.J. Leslie, the teams leading scorer, and Richard Howell, the ACCs leading rebounder, both averaged more than 31 minutes per game. Gottfried used T.J. Warren as the third forward, but Warren spent the majority of the time on the perimeter.
The addition of Freeman, rated a three-star recruit by ESPN, gives Gottfried more options in what will be a young frontcourt rotation, save for senior 7-footer Jordan Vandenberg. Gottfried said this month he would prefer to use at least three big men, like he did during the 2011-12 season with Leslie, Howell and DeShawn Painter.
We rotated those three guys around, hopefully well find ourselves back in that situation, Gottfried said. We feel more comfortable that way than we did this year.
Freeman, originally from Washington, chose N.C. State over Pittsburgh, Villanova and Rutgers. He made a name for himself at Oak Hill with his work ethic and rebounding.
Guards Anthony Barber and Desmond Lee, a junior-college transfer, joins the three forwards in the class of 2013. With five of the top six scorers from last seasons team exiting the program, N.C. State still has four available scholarships.

Martha F. Kimberlin
March 6, 1916 - Jan. 14, 2013
Martha F. (Bumby) Kimberlin, 96, died in Harrisonville on Monday, Jan. 14, 2013.
Martha was born March 6, 1916, in Orlando, Fla., the daughter of Joseph F. and Ethel C. Bumby. Both of her paternal and maternal grandparents were early settlers of Orlando. Her grandfather was an early mayor.
Martha loved to regale her family with stories of her early childhood and early adult years in then rustic central Florida. Quite the athlete and sportswoman, she participated in a wide variety of sports, hunting and fishing with family and other members at Tosohatchee, a private game preserve, and entertaining friends at the Windemere, Fla., lake house called Butler Camp, as well as spending fun-filled days at Daytona Beach.
Martha graduated from Orlando High School, and then attended Stetson University, and later a business college, before joining the family business, Joseph Bumby Hardware.
She met her husband, William M. Kimberlin, on the dance floor of the Officers Club while he was stationed at the Orlando Army Air Force Base during World War II. They were married Jan. 9, 1946, in Orlando, Fla. They settled in Harrisonville that January, which was Marthas first experience with snow. Harrisonville has been her home for 67 years, but she always relished return visits to her beloved Florida.
Martha was very active in the community as a member of DAR, the Cass County Historical Society, Cass County Medical Center Auxiliary, and Delvers. She performed various voluntary services including serving as a member of the first American Red Cross Gray Ladies at Cass Memorial Hospital, and later served as a Pink Lady. She was the long-time treasurer of the Orient Cemetery Association. Martha served selflessly on many committees and organizations throughout her life. She was a person of faith and enjoyed the fellowship as a member of First Christian Church of Harrisonville.
Martha was a wise businesswoman, an independent thinker, a great storyteller, and a loyal friend.
With her 12-year background in the family hardware business, she had an impressive knowledge of tools, hardware and their uses. If anything needed fixing or repairing around the house, she acted as the plumber, electrician, or carpenter.
Martha had a wide variety of interests. She was an avid golfer and was a charter member of Twin Pines Country Club. She and her husband, Bill, enjoyed many golf vacations playing courses throughout the country. She loved ballroom dancing and listening to Big Band music. She invested in real estate, played the stock market, worked crossword puzzles, enjoyed sewing and crafting, and then there was bridge. For over 75 years, Martha delighted in a good game of bridge. She played into her early 90s and treasured her bridge buddies. Martha was fascinated by technology, and she loved gadgets. She decided that she wanted to play the organ; she bought one and drove weekly to Kansas City to take lessons. Martha loved cars. She liked to talk and read about cars. She could tell you about every car she ever owned... her favorite was the green hornet, a late 1930s Ford convertible. She bought a video game system and challenged her granddaughters at Super Mario Brothers. Martha was a dynamic person, full of fun and a joy to be with.
Martha loved animals, and she always had pets. There was always a dog, usually a Jack Russell terrier, and the occasional cat, but as a youth she also had a monkey and an orphaned baby wild boar. Her current pet was a tuxedo cat named Mitzi. Martha financially supported several animal shelters and rescue organizations.
Martha was a loving wife and mother. Her granddaughters loved their Marty as much as she loved them. We will greatly miss our own southern belle.
Martha was preceded in death by a brother, Joseph Stanley Bumby, and in 2009 her husband of 63 years, Judge William M. Kimberlin. She is survived by her daughter, Marsha Peters and her husband, Vic of Weatherby Lake, her son William Bruce Kimberlin, Harrisonville, and two granddaughters, Lauren Kimberlin Peters, San Francisco, Calif., and Lindsey Morlan Peters, Kansas City.
There was a celebration of Martha Kimberlins life Jan. 17 at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, with burial in Orient Cemetery, Harrisonville.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to First Christian Church, Harrisonville, or the Harrisonville Animal Shelter. To view the video tribute or send the family online condolences, please visit www.dickeyfh.com.

On July 19, 1949, she was united in marriage to Benjamin Ben Ivan Everett of Indiana. Into this union four children were born, Ivan, Benita, Nancy and Janet. They made their home in Gunn City. They lived there for 60 years until, due to Bens health, they moved in with their daughter Benita and her husband Richard in 2010 in Adrian. Evan and wife Chris live in East Lynne. Nancy, Janet and Randy live in Belton.
Martha and Ben were married for 62 years. Her interests were taking care of her family, crocheting, sewing, crossword puzzles, gardening, watching the Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune, and spending time with her grandchildren. She loved raising flowers. She worked at several sewing factories, but mostly was a wife and homemaker.
Her favorite time of the year was Christmas. She loved the pretty lights and shiny, sparkly decorations. She even liked to save the Christmas paper. She was an avid baker and cook. She loved to make her famous fudge and divinity, which she liked to distribute to her favorite places and friends.
Her favorite foods were bright, red tomatoes, of course from her garden, but until then she would buy them from the store. She also liked Chinese, Long John Silvers and Arbys roast beef.
Her favorite color was yellow and she loved the red bird. She also liked knickknacks that her children and grandchildren got her whenever they saw something that they thought grandma would like.
Martha is preceded in death by her parents, five brothers, four sisters, and a 4-year-old great-grandchild, Skyla Blankenship, and her husband, Ben.

Carl Bradley Abbott, 86, of Garden City, was born to Earl C. and Carrie G. (Cattey) Abbott in Winigan on June 20, 1926. He died Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013.
Carl grew up on a farm in rural northern Missouri with two brothers, Clyde and Nile, and a sister, Marjorie (Eddy). He went to school in Winigan and high school in Green City, graduating in 1943. He worked at Citizens Bank in Winigan before serving in the U.S. Navy for two years.

After a long and successful career in the banking business, Carl retired as Garden City Banks Chairman of the Board in 2001. He and Shirley enjoyed spending time with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, gardening and traveling. Carl loved woodworking and clockmaking, creating future heirlooms for generations to come.

Carl was a civic-minded man who believed in supporting the community and those in need. He served on many boards and organizations in Garden City throughout his lifetime, and in later years, was a regular volunteer for Friendship Meals.

Lawmaker to tell of state success in White House health-care meeting
Austin Guest on June 16, 2009 - 6:00pm
by Brad Shannon
June 15, 2009
The Olympian
State Sen. Karen Keiser is headed to the Washington, D.C., for the second time in a little over a month. This time she is adding her voice to other state lawmakers calling for health care reform.
The Kent Democrat says she will is joining a group at the White House Wednesday for a meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Keiser also is attending a related press event with Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa.
The state lawmakers want passage of health care reform by year's end, and they want a public-insurance option.
Business interests in this state are urging a go-slow approach on health care, opposite that of Keiser and Democrats at the state and federal levels.
The American Medical Association has been cool to the public insurance idea, well-aware of the government's record on Medicare payments. But Obama addressed that topic today in a speech to the powerful doctors group in Chicago, and people like Keiser are hopeful reforms can be done this year.
Keiser said the contingent of state lawmakers at the White House wants to "share our states' successes and perhaps offer some good options for the national health care effort. We're also going to ask for some consideration as states, so that the federal effort as it is developed and adopted does no harm to what the states are doing — at least for states that are doing things."
As for this state's successes, Keiser pointed to a preferred drug list for state-paid patients, which she figures has saved more than $20 million. "It is one of those evidence based approaches that will actually improve quality," she said.
She also is touting a health efficiencies act she got passed this year and a technology assessment program that saves money by evaluating what is working. The efficiencies act is supposed to save money by requiring insurers to standardize claim forms and credentialing of providers.
The Progressive States Network is paying for the trip and will be giving her an award, Keiser said. The award is for past work including a bill that restored the state insurance commissioner's authority over insurance rates in the individual health market.

Ben Golliver is back to review the NBA Finals Game 3. He rightly hones in on the way the Thunder progressed as a team, yet faltered down the stretch and missed a golden opportunity. Game 4 should...
Yeah, we're talking about THIS again. Four years after the move, Thunder fans are still forced to deal with old ghosts from the Seattle days.
The Thunder fell apart in the 3rd quarter and surrendered a second FInals game to the Heat. OKC now faces the task of a huge Game 4, and they must do it knowing that their key players have yet to...
Game 3 between the Heat and Thunder was a see-saw affair. Miami jumped out to the early 1st quarter lead, but unlike in the previous 2 games, the Thunder found enough of an answer to not fall...
I really, really didn't want to have to write a recap for this game. You mad, bro? You probably should be, because I know I am.

Make This Now: Apple and Pear Tarte Tatin
What better way to welcome fall than by making a simple tart that showcases the season's star fruit, apples and pears? What I love about this recipe is how the fruit caramelizes in a simple syrup of butter, sugar, and apple cider. Each bite is full of sweet, soft and tender fruit and buttery puff pastry.
If you really want to go the extra mile, try out our recipe for homemade puff pastry.

Grizzlies play South Salem tonight in second game of holiday classic
Dec 14, 2012
News-Register Staff
The McMinnville boys basketball team couldn't overcome a slow start Monday vs. Oregon City and lost 49-41, ending a two-game winning streak.
Junior Gage Gubrud scored 13 points and had six assists for the Grizzlies (2-2), and Matt Long had 11 points and seven rebounds.
McMinnville beat Aloha in the first game of their holiday classic. Mac won 55-32. The Grizzlies play at 7:15 p.m. tonight vs. South Salem.
Crescent Valley and South Salem were scheduled to play at 5:45 p.m. Thursday in the Red Gym at McMinnville.
Monday vs. Oregon City, the Grizzlies started extremely slow, scoring eight points in the first quarter and four in the second quarter. The Pioneers scored 12 in the first period and 16 in the second period and led 28-12 at halftime.
"We did not play well in the first half," McMinnville coach Willie Graham said. "We didn't make them work for stuff. … Too many easy layups."
Graham said it wasn't that his team was playing bad on offense, it was that shots weren't falling coupled with the fact the Grizzlies weren't stopping the Pioneers on defense.
"We definitely have to put up more resistance on the defensive end," he said.
Mac played better in the second half. The Grizzlies out scored Oregon City 13-10 in the third quarter and 16-11 in the fourth quarter.
Bryce Anderson scored six points for the Grizzlies, and Blaine Parker scored six points and had six rebounds. Drew Spence scored three points and Blake Egli scored 2.
Graham said three players did not play Monday. Nick and Tanner Autencio, and Taylor Vicknair did not play because they were sick, Graham said.

The two schools and the Iowa Corn Growers Association announced
Tuesday that the Cy-Hawk trophy will be replaced after fans
complained about the design. It was unveiled Friday at the state
Critics included former Iowa coach Hayden Fry and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. Many people questioned why a football trophy would feature a family huddled around a bushel of corn.
Craig Floss, the CEO of the corn growers group, says a temporary trophy will be designed for this year's game on Sept. 10. Fans will
be able to suggest a design for the more permanent replacement.

Sound Description
Some call Knoxville's Dirty Guv'nahs a Southern rock band, but they probably don't sound a lot like most of the outfits you've heard the term applied to. They're a damn sight more primal, for one thing, plying nasty, raw-boned rhythms and searing guitar sounds pilfered from early Rolling Stones—Brits who, by virtue of their abundance of stateside influences, were Southern rockers by proxy.
And they bear little or no trace of the bands most often associated with the genre—Skynyrd and the Outlaws, et al.—bands whose Southern experience was filtered through layers of bombast that had scarce else to do with Dixie. (Mike Gibson)

Male model Jo Calderone is back! On Friday, Lady Gaga tweeted the cover for her latest single "Yoü And I" featuring Calderone's disheveled, greaser good looks. The song is country-infused homage to her on-and-off boyfriend, musician and bartender Luc Carl, and his home state of Nebraska.
In summer 2010, images of Calderone hit the Internet and immediate speculation popped up that it was Lady Gaga in disguise--which the singer denied. Calderone appeared on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, one of the most avant-garde of the Vogue publications, accompanied by a interview that described him as a 21-year-old, Sicilian, muscle-car-loving mechanic who modeled for fun. (Really, what "for fun" model gets a Vogue cover?!) Calderone said he and Gaga met at the photo shoot, that took her out afterwards, and "the rest is private."
It later became clear that Calderone was really an embodiment of Lady Gaga's perfect man, but the photos of her in drag certainly made me double-take. Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti being the Fashion Director for Vogue Hommes Japan made this an easy case to crack in the end. Without her multi-layered trappings of feminine eccentricity, Gaga of course looks completely different, but still intriguing. Only Gaga can pull off modeling as a man on the cover of a reputable men's fashion magazine.
The music video for "Yoü And I" will soon be posted on her Twitter as her 1,000th tweet--she's at 992 at publication time. Social media-savvy, as always!
You can see more photos of Jo Calderone here. Do you think Gaga pulls it off?

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
A 36-hole showdown between former teammates and roommates resulted in a Kansas State Amateur championship for Overland Park's Kyle Smell.
Smell defeated fellow Kansas State Wildcat Ben Juffer 2-up on Sunday at Sand Creek Station Golf Course in Newton after being down 3 holes with 11 holes remaining.
On those next 11 holes, Smell picked up 7 birdies and took a 3 hole advantage on the 15th green, while Juffer's birdie attempts were missing by the slightest of margins.
"I knew I had to make all those birdies coming down to it. So once you start making them, you don't even think about," he said. "With how good Ben is, I knew birdies were going to be the only way to make up ground and I made a few, made some pars. But for the most part, I just kept trucking."
Smell was on the opposite end of last year's State Am finals, placing second. Regardless of being a 2007 junior amateur champion and four-ball champion, this title has been elusive.
"I can't really explain how I feel just because I knew this was the only tournament I haven't won as a junior and as an amateur, so winning this was huge. And after how close I came last year, this is exactly what I wanted to do so I'm glad I got to do it," said Smell.
The recent Wildcat graduate will now travel to Denver to compete in the U.S. Amateur from August 13th to 19th at Cherry Hills Country Club.

Officials are contemplating the submission of an application with the City of Muskogee Foundation for funding to buy available property within an area targeted for urban renewal.
Mayor Bob Coburn said he and City Manager Greg Buckley approached the economic development committee about the proposition during a recent meeting. Coburn and Buckley are members of the foundation's directing board.
"They seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a wasted effort," Coburn said about the prospects of applying for a grant.
Obtaining funding for the urban renewal project, Coburn said, is speculative at this point.
Buckley said the application, should the request be approved, would be a joint endeavor between the city and the Muskogee Urban Renewal Authority. If an application is approved for funding, Buckley said the city would operate as "fiscal agent' while the authority would have access to the funds to buy property within the proposed project area.
Frank Merrick, who serves as the foundation's executive director, said a grant such as the one being considered would "fall within the purview of what we do."
"We have discussed this and are very interested in learning more details," Merrick said. "I would say this particular project is due for some more in-depth discussion, but the timing is unknown at this time."
Merrick said it "is too early to tell" whether any funding that might be made available would be in the form of a grant or a loan. Since the authority could realize a return on its investment, Merrick and Buckley said it could be packaged in way that allowed the foundation to recoup its initial outlay.
Buckley said he envisions a two-part grant. The first application, Buckley said, would be a request for an amount ranging from $350,000 to $500,000. That funding, if provided would be available for initial acquisitions. The second part, Buckley said, might include a request for another half-million dollars or more that could be used to package property for development.
"This is all speculation at this point," Buckley said, noting the grant application could be submitted outside the normal cycle since it involves economic development.
Buckley said there are parcels within the proposed urban renewal project area presently on the market. An exact number, however, was unknown. A request for submitting a grant application must be approved by city councilors.
The City of Muskogee Foundation is a nonprofit corporation formed in 2008 by the city for the purpose of developing, supporting and promoting programs designed to improve the city's quality of life. Its board of directors — made up of nine at-large members, two city councilors, the mayor and city manager — is entrusted with overseeing and investing the organization's assets to meet that objective.
The foundation was funded with proceeds from the 40-year lease of Muskogee Regional Medical Center, now part of Eastar Health System, to Capella Healthcare. A portion of its returns on the investment of that money is used to fund grants designed to promote its mission.

MIAMI — Game 7s do more than settle championships. They define legacies.
No matter what happens Thursday night, LeBron James and the Miami Heat, and Tim Duncan's San Antonio Spurs have already won NBA titles and secured a place in history.
Now is their opportunity to elevate it.
The truly memorable teams won the hard way, and that will be the case for the one celebrating at center court this time. It's either a Heat repeat, possible only after James led them back from what seemed certain elimination in the closing seconds of Game 6, or the Spurs shaking off as gut-wrenching a loss as a team can have to become just the fourth club to win a Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road.
"As a competitor you love it, because you know you have an opportunity and it's up to you," Heat guard Ray Allen said. "We have a chance in our building to make something great. All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game. It's something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets."
Allen played in the game the last time the NBA's season went down to the very last day, the Boston Celtics fading at the finish and falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. That made home teams 14-3 in finals Game 7s, with no road team winning since Washington beat Seattle in 1978.
Overcoming those odds, not to mention the NBA's winningest team, would make this more memorable than the Spurs' previous four titles, though this is a franchise that never dwells too much on the past or looks too far into the future.
All that matters is now.
"You know what, it's all about just winning the title. It's not about situation or what has led up to it," Duncan said. "It's a great story for everybody else, but we're here for one reason, one reason only: It's to try to win this game (Thursday). We have had a very good season thus far, and I think we just want to get to the game more than anything. We just want to see what happens and be able to leave everything out there."
The teams trudged back to the arena Wednesday, some 12 hours after the Heat pulled out a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6 to even the series. The Spurs, five points ahead with 28 seconds left in regulation, had to fight off fatigue and heartbreak, insisting neither would linger into today.

Even though baseball season is nearing its end, the McAuley Catholic Warriors are just starting to hit midseason form.
Erratic spring weather forced the Warriors to play only 14 games thus far, and the majority of their practices have been indoors.
McAuley (7-7) travels to face Dadeville at 5 p.m. today in the sectional round of the MSHSAA Class 1 playoffs. Dadeville (16-7) enters with 12 more games than its opponent.
"We're peaking at the right time, I think," McAuley pitcher Shaw Robertson said. "A lot of teams have a lot more games in than us. I think we're just starting to get into our groove."
The Warriors enter on a five-game winning streak, including victories over Exeter, Hurley and Golden City in the district tournament.
"I'm very excited about the momentum we have going into (today's) game," McAuley coach Jason McVey said. "I feel like the district championship win will carry over to (today)."
The win over Golden City gave McAuley its first district baseball championship since 1982.
"It means a lot," McAuley senior second baseman Anthony Calcagno said. "It's always been a goal for the past four years to get a district title and to finally get it feels really, really good. Plus, we broke a 30-some year streak. It's great to be part of the group that broke that streak."
The improvement of McAuley's bats has been key to the team's success. McAuley's 7-8-9 hitters, in particular, came up big during the win over Golden City. No. 9 hitter Cole Lowry recorded the game-winning hit.
"I think the bottom half of the lineup is starting to see the ball better and starting to focus more," McAuley sophomore catcher Adam Robertson said. "They're taking their time and are being smarter about their pitches."
Shaw Robertson and Anthony Bertoncino lead the Warriors at the plate as both have a .636 batting average. Robertson has 20 RBI, while Bertoncino has 17. The duo also both earned wins on the mound at the district tournament.
"It was a good accomplishment," Bertoncino said. "We're pretty stoked about it. It's good to leave a legacy behind."
McAuley will send Shaw Robertson to the mound against Dadeville. The senior boasts 116 strikeouts and only nine walks in 51 innings pitched. In a 10-0 win over Southwest, Robertson fanned 14 batters and posted a shutout.
"The Southwest game was his coming out and since then he has been pretty unstoppable on the mound," McVey said.
Along with the fastball, Robertson mixes in a curve, slider and knuckler.
"His breaking pitch has improved over the season," McVey said. "At the beginning of the season, it was more of a looping curve and now he has a tighter breaking ball. It's just a world of difference from where he started at."
Dadeville has a strong offensive team, beating Halfway 13-3 in last week's district title game. The Bearcats have scored 10 runs or more in 11 games this season.
"They are a contact hitting team," McVey said. "They put the ball in play. They are not a small ball team, but from what I've heard from coaches is that they get a lot of contact."
McVey said assistant coaches Phil Calcagno and Dalton Cossey have been a big help to the team.
"It's been a fun time with the boys this year," he said. "Last year, we got runner-up and nobody really expected us to do that. That has carried over from last year."
A pep bus will leave the school about 3 p.m. today.
"That's huge for our school to have enough people wanting to go watch us play," McVey said. "Taking an extra bus load of kids up an hour and a half from here, that shows great school support. I appreciate the administration for allowing it."
