Every Massapequan knows and loves the fries from , the slices from Pappalardo's, and the banana splits from . So isn't it time to add a few new classics to the local menu? Here are five lesser known—but equally delicious—dishes from some of the town's top eateries. Your taste buds will thank you!
Al's Specialty Baby Back Ribs: They're smoked for six hours, they're covered in three coats of tangy BBQ sauce, and they're so tender the meat falls right off the bone. Add a side of sweet potato fries, and you've got the ideal down-home meal.
Roast Pork Egg Foo Young: This old school take-out joint bydoesn't deliver, take credit cards, or have a lick of ambiance. What it does have is classic "Brooklyn style" Chinese food (i.e., the type your grandparents used to eat), the best example of which is its sweet and salty Roast Pork Egg Foo Young.
Karisik pide: : Pide (pronounced pea-day), a pocketless version of pita, is fluffy in some places, crispy in others, and delicious all over. The "Karisik," or mixed version, combines sausage, pastrami, ground beef, cheese, tomato, and peppers into a pizza-like Turkish delight.
Mashed Potato Wontons: If there is any spud-related menu item in town that can challenge the supremacy of All American fries, it's this flavor-packed pocket of cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives. Note: Pair with a hoppy microbrew for optimal effect.
Zeppole: Carmella's Pizza & Restaurant: If you're slinging zeppole to a town full of Italians, you'd better not mess around. One bite of Carmella's delicately fried, perfectly powdered balls of dough, and you'll know this homey joint is deadly serious. But be warned: at just $5/dozen, addiction is a very real possibility.

Guide Review - Dell Inspiron 13 13.3-inch Ultraportable Laptop PC
Mar 12 2009 - Dell's Inspiron 13 is really designed as a low cost, affordable yet highly portable laptop for consumers. While most of their units sold will probably sell for under $750, it is possible to get one configured to offer higher performance yet still be priced under $1000.
In this configuration, Dell equipped the system with a relatively new Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor running at 2.0 GHz. This combined with the 4GB of DDR2 memory allows the system to perform quite well in a variety of applications without pushing the price up too much.
Even with the very reasonable price tag, the Inspiron 13 has some surprisingly good build quality. The keyboard exhibits very little flex with a good overall feel. It also runs fairly cool compared to many other 13.3-inch laptops that have limited space for cooling and components.
Individuals who need to carry or connect a wide range of peripherals may be disappointed with the Inspiron 13. While it doesn't drop the FireWire port from the system, Dell only includes two USB 2.0 ports. With this being the most common interface and most laptops featuring at least three, this can cause issues for some consumers.
Probably the biggest drawback to the Inspiron 13 is its size and weight. For a 13.3-inch laptop, it is fairly large with a maximum thickness of 1.5-inches and weighing nearly five pounds. This pushes it closer towards the size and weight of 14.1-inch thin and light system than it does ultraportables.
Much of the weight is probably taken up from the six cell battery pack that comes with the system. The larger battery pack while weighing down the system does give it a better than average running time with real world running time of between three and a half to four hours.

South Carolina swept UCLA in the College World Series finals to claim the NCAA baseball title in Omaha. The Gamecocks join Georgia and LSU as the only SEC teams to win the national championship in baseball. I congratulate the Palmetto State Poultry on their achievement, which caps off a successful regular season, a comeback in Rosenblatt Stadium to overcome in-state rival Clemson, and a stellar pitching performance in the two games of the final series. Go 'Dawgs!
Using statistics compiled by Tomahawk Nation's Bud Elliott, Dawg Sports demonstrates why the Georgia Bulldogs have the necessary ingredients to field a successful defense in 2010.
South Carolina won the opening game of the College World Series finals. The Gamecocks are a lone victory away from capturing the national championship that most assuredly will mark the start of the final days. Can the Bruins stave off Armageddon? Help us, UCLA, you are our only hope. . . . Go 'Dawgs!
I cannot live in a world where Univ of South Carolina wins a National Championship in ANYTHING. Go Bruins!! Let the Chicken Curse live!This is so the right attitude. At the moment, though, it's all going the Gamecocks' way. The comment threads are here and here. Go 'Dawgs!
The Georgia Bulldogs officially ended their 2009-'10 athletic year today, and not a moment too soon.
The Clemson Tigers are playing the South Carolina Gamecocks in the College World Series. Which way is a fan of the Georgia Bulldogs to root?
The SEC fell to 0-3 in the College World Series with Florida's loss to in-state rival Florida State in Monday afternoon's elimination game. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys. Go 'Dawgs!
Florida and Florida State are set to play a College World Series elimination game, but a similar setup for the Palmetto State participants in Omaha was averted a few moments ago when Clemson defeated Arizona State. A Sun Devil win would have sent the Country Gentlemen into an elimination outing against the Gamecocks. Go 'Dawgs!
The Georgia Bulldogs did few things well in the 2010 baseball season, but, as the College World Series gets underway, Dawg Sports takes a moment to praise the Diamond Dogs' propensity for hitting...

I remember every Thursday night was shopping night when I was little. I would go into town with my mom and we did the weeks grocery shopping as well as anything else we needed. First stop was always the bank. There it was, over in the corner just waiting for me.
My favorite gum machine with those wonderful little "square" gum balls. I would wait patiently for my mom to hand me that penny and off I'd go. Sometimes she'd give me two or three pennies and I was in heaven. I remember my hand didn't seem big enough to hold them all but I never dropped one. I have to say a number of years have gone by and every time I would see a gum machine I'd look for my little "square" gum balls. Seems they were hard to find. Well, just 2 days ago my husband bought me that gum machine. It's in our game room now and I can have my little "square" gum balls anytime I want. I wonder if my mom has any extra pennies. ~ Denise from Pennsylvania

EC Programmes
European Work Programme 2013 to implement ICT
The objective of ICT research under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) is to improve the competitiveness of European industry – as well as to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of these technologies so that the demands of its society and economy are met. You can find more details of the ICT Work Programme 2013.
The EU Member States have earmarked a total of € 9.1 billion for funding ICT over the duration of FP7; making it the largest research theme in the Cooperation programme, which is itself the largest specific programme of FP7 (with 64% of the total budget).
FP7 research activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate product, service and process innovation and creativity through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and governments.
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) bundles all research-related EU initiatives together under a common roof playing a crucial role in reaching the goals of growth, competitiveness and employment; along with a new Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), Education and Training programmes, and Structural and Cohesion Funds for regional convergence and competitiveness. It is also a key pillar for the European Research Area (ERA).
EU will offer every young person employment or training within four months of leaving schoool
The European Commission has launched their latest Youth Employment Package requesting a guarantee from all Member States that every young person receives a quality offer of employment or training within four months of leaving school, or of being unemployed. The proposal will make full use of EU funding and in particular the European Social Fund (ESF), which was set up to reduce the differences in prosperity and living standards across EU Member States and regions.
The new Youth Employment Package is part of the initiative Rethinking Education - designed to reduce the youth unemployment rate. Research has shown that the figure is close to 23 % across the European Union, yet more than 2 million vacancies remain unfilled.
To change this, Member States are being urged to take immediate action to ensure that young people develop the skills and competences needed by the labour market, and to achieve their targets for growth and jobs.
The need for a more dynamic approach to education comes after statistics showed that 73 million Europeans (around 25 % of adults) have a low level of education. Nearly 20 % of 15 year olds lack sufficient literacy skills, and in 5 countries more than 25 % are low achievers in reading (Bulgaria 41 %, Romania 40 %, Malta 36 %, Austria 27.5 %, and Luxembourg 26 %). Early school leaving remains at unacceptably high levels in several Member States: in Spain it is 26.5 % and in Portugal 23.2 % (the EU target is under 10 %). At the same time, less than 9 % of adults participate in lifelong learning (the EU target is 15 %).
Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, believes these statistics highlight a serious weakness in our education and training systems. She says, 'Matters have been made worse as the economic downturn has led many Member States to cut funding for education and training.'
She goes on to say, 'Europe will only resume sustained growth by producing highly skilled and versatile people who can contribute to innovation and entrepreneurship. Efficient and well-targeted investment is fundamental to this, but we will not achieve our objectives by reducing education budgets.'
The focus now is on education and ensuring it is more relevant to the needs of students and the labour market, while assessment methods will be adapted and modernised. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and open educational resources (OERs) are also to be scaled up in all learning contexts. But teachers also need to have regular training in order to update their own skills. The strategy further calls on Member States to strengthen links between education and employers, to bring enterprise into the classroom and to give young people a taste of employment through increased work-based learning. EU education ministers are also encouraged to step up their cooperation on work-based learning activities at a national and European level.
Rethinking Education conducted a Commission survey this year titled 'Education and Training Monitor', which outlined the skill supply in the Member States. What was derived from the survey was the need for a much stronger focus on developing transversal skills and basic skills at all levels. Key areas were especially a[0]pplicable to entrepreneurial and information technology (IT) skills.
Improving foreign language learning has also been highlighted with a new benchmark set for 2020 for at least 50 % of 15 year olds to have knowledge of a first foreign language (up from 42 % today) and at least 75 % to study a second foreign language (up from 61 % today). Investment in these skills is deemed vital as is the need to build world-class vocational education and training systems and for increasing levels of work-based learning.
The goal for Member States is to improve the recognition of qualifications and skills, including those gained outside of the formal education and training systems. Technology, and in particular the Internet, will need to be fully exploited, and schools, universities, and vocational and training institutions must now increase access to education via OERs.

Information Day on Call 7 of the CIP ICT Policy Support Programme
This event addresses stakeholders interested in submitting project proposals for the 7th Call for Proposals of the CIP ICT Policy Support Programme. Call 7 is expected to be published on 22 December 2012 and the relevant documents related to it will be available on the Participant Portal on the same day.
15 January 2013, Charlemagne Building – Rue de la Loi 170 – B-1040 Brussels Room: GASP
The draft Work Programme for 2013 is available here for information.
Check for Objective 2.3: ICT for learning
The aim of this objective is to support ICT-based modernization of educational and training. The objective is supported by two distinct target outcomes, each with specific funding instruments.
Obj 2.3.a: Piloting and showcasing excellence in ICT for learning for all
Funding instrument: Pilot B - It is intended to support one Pilot up to 5 M€ of EU contribution.
Focus and outcomes
- Large-scale piloting activities showcasing ICT-based innovation and excellence covering blended modes of formal/informal/non-formal learning with links to workplace-based or self-paced lifelong learning.
- To ensure complementarity and synergies with on-going CIP projects the activities should cover at least the following subjects: digital literacy and computing, artistic and creative skills, mathematics.
Conditions and characteristics
- Pilots should place the solution in real world setting involving at least 50.000 students and 4.000 teachers.

- The network should ensure appropriate follow up for wide dissemination of the results in mainstream education.
Expected impact for both a and b
- Support the implementation of the "Digital Agenda for Europe" and in particular Action 68 "Mainstream eLearning in national policies for the modernisation of education and training, including in curricula, assessment of learning outcomes and the professional development of teachers and trainers".
- Showcase to a critical mass of students, teachers and parents how to use technologies for their learning, teaching and support needs.
School partnerships improve pupils' and teachers' skills
A new study on the impact of partnerships between schools in different countries has found that pupils - particularly at secondary level - significantly improved their skills, including cultural and social skills, IT and foreign languages. The impact of the partnerships was strongest on pupils who visited partner schools. Seven out of ten schools said that the partnerships had a strong to very strong impact on pupils' cultural awareness and expression as well as social and civic competences. This was followed by computer skills (54%) and communication in foreign languages (52%). The partnerships were funded through the Comenius exchange programme, the schools' equivalent of Erasmus.
Androulla Vassiliou, the European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, said: "School partnerships enable young people to acquire the basic life skills and competences necessary for personal development, future employment and active citizenship. Comenius also helps pupils and staff to get to know different European cultures and languages. These partnerships will continue to receive support under our new Erasmus for All programme in 2014-2020."
The study also found that the scheme benefits teachers and schools within their local community. Teachers said partnering a foreign school improved their knowledge of other education systems and strengthened social skills, as well as helping their language skills.
Two out of three schools claimed that the partnership had improved their image and 80% said it strengthened their European dimension. Teaming up with schools abroad also helped develop closer ties both within the school and with local authorities.
Comenius partnerships have a comparatively greater impact on teachers and on schools and their environments in pre-primary and primary schools because it is easier to mobilise and involve an entire school and to integrate new ideas and activities into curricula at this level. In contrast, the impact on pupil skills is stronger at secondary level.
For many schools in remote parts of the European Union, partnerships financed from EU funds are the only opportunity for pupils and teachers to get involved in a project abroad. 85% of schools covered by the study said they intended to apply for funding for future partnerships.
The study surveyed 50 schools in 15 European countries (Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom) which received grants from the Comenius programme to set up partnerships running from autumn 2009-2011. Monitoring the schools over the two years, and beyond, the study examined in-depth how the partnerships affected pupils, teachers and the school.
Study of the impact of Comenius school partnerships on participating schools
This study provides an analysis of the impact of Comenius school partnerships on participating institutions.
The results of the study show that these types of school partnerships have a highly significant impact on the school community as a whole: in 75% of cases observed, it was perceived as being "quite strong", "strong" or even "very strong". It was on pupils themselves that the impact was greatest, followed by teachers and then by the schools and their environment.
What's new in the Lifelong Learning Programme?
The Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) Info Day 2013, organized by on 12 November in Brussels, revealed the priorities of the EU Lifelong Learning Programme. Here is what's new to the Programme in 2013 and some advice and tips on preparing and submitting a strong proposal, and on managing grants.
As the flagship European Funding programme in the field of education and training, the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) enables individuals at all stages of their lives to pursue stimulating learning opportunities across Europe. It is an umbrella programme integrating various educational and training initiatives. LLP is divided in four sectorial sub programmes and four so called 'transversal' programmes.
The promotion of ICT for learning is one of the four key activities of the LLP's transversal programme, supporting actions that address general issues concerning two or more educational sectors. It is also an integral part of the Comenius, Erasmus, Grundtvig and Leonardo sub-programmes.
Progress in the use of ICT for education and training across Europe has been substantial in the last years. However, studies show that ICT has not yet had as significant an impact as expected.
Effective integration of ICT into education must go beyond simply replacing, streamlining or accelerating current practices. It must also find new and more effective ways of operating, supporting pedagogical and organisational innovation. ICT has become embedded in our social and economic fabric and it should be similarly embedded in education and training systems.
Actions are not about developing technology itself, but about the use of ICT tools to enhance learning environments and experiences. This includes aspects such as the use of simulations, discovery learning, attracting drop-outs back to education, enabling learning outside the school environment and bridging the 'digital divide' between those with access to technologies and relevant skills, and those without.
VISION - VIsualisation SImulation and visual cOmputing techNologies. Final event
EU position and future potential including recommendations for Horizon 2020
The study VISION "VIsualisation SImulation and visual cOmputing techNologies: EU position and future potential" has been funded by the European Commission to deliver a study in the field of simulation, visualisation and visual computing to help the European Commission make informed decision on future coverage and approaches towards these fields within a future post 2013 EU Research and Innovation Programme (Horizon 2020).
European Education, Training and Youth Forum
The Stakeholder's Forum 2012, renamed "European Education and Training Forum" this year, will take place on 18th and 19th of October 2012 in Brussels. Around 300 participants will gather to discuss EU policies about education and training. EUCIS-LLL and its members' objective is to contribute to the debate by bringing in the perspective of civil society.
The aim of the Forum is to mobilise stakeholders and policy makers to modernise education and training systems through national and EU policies and instruments in order to enhance growth and jobs. This year's Forum will have a double focus on:
1) Education and training aspects of Europe 2020
2) the future Erasmus for All programme
The outcome will provide input for the November Council Conclusions on Europe 2020 and for the implementation of Erasmus for All.
The Forum will gather around 300 participants: Education and Training as well as youth stakeholders, national and regional policy makers, representatives of the business world and civil society. It will be prepared through a consultation of selected stakeholders' organisations using social media tools.
EUCIS-LLL is supporting the initiative and works together with the European Commission on the event. Further information and invitations will be sent out at a further stage.

New service unlocks project information on CORDIS
The European Union has some of the world's best research facilities and most accomplished researchers. Harnessing their full potential will help turn novel ideas into jobs, green growth and social progress. To facilitate this, the European Commission finances, either wholly or partially, a wide range of individual research and technology development projects. Details about many of these can be found on the Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) - the primary information source for EU-funded projects.
A new Projects Service, launched on 16 January 2012, will enhance the role of CORDIS. Designed not only to be a comprehensive reference point for project participants, coordinators and stakeholders, the service will also make information and data available to wider audiences.
CORDIS has project records covering a myriad of science, technology and research-related fields and topics. Dating from before 1986 to the present, they relate to not only the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), but also previous Framework Programmes. The new service will use the breadth of the CORDIS repository as a base to bring together a wide variety of information related to individual projects, including:
- project details such as description, funding, programme;
- project results such as documents, reports, summaries;
- links;
- publications;
- multimedia;
- information and details on project participants.
The new Projects Service will unlock content, standardise the presentation of project information, and help users to find out more.
Project records are added to the database once they are made available to CORDIS by the Commission service responsible. The new service provides tools and pointers that can help filter and facilitate search queries.
Even when a project has finished, specific project information can help with result development, the planning of new initiatives, the indication of new research avenues and more.

Last Twenty Years of Mercury Dimes
The legendary Mercury Dime (1916-1945) was one of the new coinage designs mandated by President Theodore Roosevelt at the beginning of the twentieth century. Struck of .999 Fine Silver and originally called Winged Liberty, the new coin got its popular name from Liberty's resemblance to Mercury seen on many ancient coins. One hand-selected Mercury Dime from each of the last 20 years of issue (1926-1945) is displayed in a handsome portfolio, 18 coins in all (none minted in 1932 or 1933), and accompanied by a printed history.

Adventure had never been a part of my life. While some of my childhood friends had come home from trips to the World's Fair or from far away mystery places like "back east" to see their grandparents, my only claim to fame was that we had stayed at the Motel Fresno (located in farming country in Fresno, California) six years in a row. It was a halfway point between Los Angeles, where we lived, and Oakland, where my grandmother resided, so my parents and my grandmother met there each summer. And it had a great bar. My parents could get pleasantly drunk while hanging out at the pool, watching us kids get blistery sunburns the first day out.
So, when Tom asked me to marry him and move to Montana, you can bet I was ready for an adventure. Tom described Montana to me the weeks before he left to start a new job there.
"It's a land full of mountains, rivers, streams, and waterfalls. And there's animals, almost everywhere you look. Bears and deer, antelope and elk, moose and mountain goats, everywhere! And the sky, well you can breathe in that huge expanse of sky all day long." So I packed up my meager belongings and flew out to Montana that June. And he was right about Montana. I've seen all those animals and more, sometimes all in one day. I've fly-fished those rivers and streams, watched eagles dive for fish on a sunny summer day, while wearing waders in the middle of a premier trout stream, and I've viewed some spectacular waterfalls.
Tom had bought a house for us on a street that sounded intriguing to me…Upper Miller Creek Road. He told me to always call it "Upper Miller Crick" if anyone wanted to know where I lived. Me, being me, refused, and I've said "creek" when I mean "creek," for the last nineteen years, but I digress.
Tom and I were both a little skittish about getting married. We had only dated for eight months, and I knew less about Tom than he knew about me. I only knew that I was going to commit the rest of my life to him unless one of four things happened, and he knew what those four things were. On his part, most of what he knew about me was the stuff I told him early on when I was trying to scare him away.
Tom and I were staying in a campground for a few days until the house closed and the inhabitants moved out, which was supposed to be on Wednesday of that week. Since Tom had to travel about four hours north for his new job, it was up to me to take some of our things over to the new house and meet Tom there in a couple of days. I got up early, grabbed a cup of coffee to tide me over, and headed over to my new home. When I arrived, I saw that boxes and furniture filled the two-car garage from floor to rafters, and people were running in and out of the house carrying lamps, boxes, and more pieces of furniture to a rental truck.
Disappointed, I drove past. It was legally our house as of that day and it didn't look like they were in any hurry to vacate. I also noticed that the gorgeous ¾ acre bright green lawn was now yellow and parched. Apparently once it was sold they decided they wouldn't bother spending any more money on water. My stomach dropped, thinking about Tom and what he would say about this. I had never seen him angry, but I figured there had to be a temper hidden down in there somewhere. All men get angry easily, right?
I didn't have a cell phone back then, and I knew Tom would be calling me on the phone we had already hooked up in the new house. I was in a new town, two states away from my home, family, and friends. I did not know one soul there, and I felt frightened, alone, and intimidated. I could not go to that house until those people were gone.
So, several times during that long day I drove back up Upper Miller Creek Road to peek at my new home. Each time, people were still there, carrying boxes and furniture to the rental truck. I explored the town, and finally, I decided to kill some time by taking myself to the movies.
Once the movie let out, I climbed back up Upper Miller Creek Road one more time, unsure of what I would do if they were still there. It was six o'clock at night now, getting dark, and I was sure Tom had been trying to call me all day.
As I rounded the last curve and saw the empty driveway, I let out let out a sigh of relief. I drove up my new driveway and ran up to the house, used my new key to turn the lock, and opened the door. I did a quick glance around but then headed straight to our new phone. I saw the light was blinking on the phone telling me there were six messages. As I listened to each one, I heard Tom's voice sounding more and more worried. The sixth message sounded frantic. "If I don't hear from you in fifteen minutes or so I'm going to drive back to Missoula," he said.
I dialed the phone with shaking fingers. I knew how angry he would be. Who wouldn't be angry? I probably did something stupid. I deserved his wrath. I should have marched into "my" house and told those people to hurry up and leave! I should have demanded to use my phone and let Tom know what was going on. Of course he'll be mad…and he should be. Leave it up to me to cause a problem.
"Hello Tom? What happened was…" I reiterated the story, hoping he wasn't regretting trusting me with something that should have been so easy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry that happened," he said. "You must have felt so worried that you couldn't call me and tell me what was going on. How about if I come pick you up and you can stay up here with me. We'll drive down to the new house together in a couple of days."
It's been almost nineteen years since that first day in my new home in Montana. Over and over again, Tom has proven himself to be that kind, gentle man who was willing to drive four hours to come get me just so I'd be more comfortable. He has taught me more about God's unconditional love than anyone I have ever known. And he's never ever done one of the four things. Ah, I can finally breathe, and that big expanse of sky is a great place to catch your breath.

And now I wanna see Krackle interacting with Gummy. They seem like they'd get along.
This is what I assume. Once upon a time, Celestia was forced to "relocate" a dragon nest that was too near Equestria. The dragons fled, but one egg remained.
And yeah, I was hoping for more of a payoff when Twilight, Dash, and Rarity revealed themselves. Not a fight per se, but maybe just Spike pointing out that his friends included a genius magical prodigy who hatched him and is the Princess' personal apprentice, the fastest Pegasus alive and the inventor of the Sonic Rainboom, and a Unicorn whose special talent includes being able to find rare and valuable diamonds (y'know, the stuff dragons eat).
It's not that he's a Pony-lover, he's just from a better class than those punks.

By LAURA CARRELL
Courier staff writer
---- — OTTUMWA — Very few Ottumwans remember when Central Catholic High School stood next to St. Mary's Catholic Church, where the parking lot is now.
The 10 remaining graduates of the Class of 1953, the last class to graduate, gathered this weekend to revive those memories.
The all-boys Catholic school started in the 1930s with the top floors housing the high school and the St. Mary's grade school on the bottom floors. When the building was deemed no longer sound, it was torn down and Walsh High School was founded. The 21 seniors of 1953 were the last boys to graduate from CCHS.
Of those 21, 10 men are still living but have spread all across the country. They have become farmers, doctors, businessmen, husbands, fathers and grandfathers. Many have kept in touch, and knowing there are fewer and fewer of them as time passes, they decided to reunite in Ottumwa.
This was the first time they held a reuinion just for them - that special, historic last class. Five of the remaining 10 men living brought their wives and spent two days remembering, enjoying and remembering some more.
"We're in our 70s now, and we decided we'd better have one before it's too late," John Reardon explained. "There were several who wished they could have been here, and we've lost quite a few."
Pat Larkin, Dick Emry, Reardon, Jim Rater, Lewis (Lew) Gray and their wives gathered for the Friday night fish fry at the Knights of Columbus hall and dinner at Roe's Restaurant Saturday night.
The other five still living — Joe Conroy, John Howard, Larry Dawson, Don McKillip and John Yochum — were talked about with smiles, knowing they would have been there if they could.
Since there were only about 60 boys in grades 9-12, they were all very close, Reardon, who stayed in town for many years at KBIZ Radio, explained.
"There were only 21 people in our class, we were pretty close," he said. "My wife graduated from OHS with about 400 people, and she didn't know everyone. Since we were the last class, decided to have a little party. (Friday) night we got together and just hooted and hollered. Even this morning at breakfast, we were just sitting around telling stories."
Those stories and those memories may have happened 60 years ago, but they're still vivid for the men who lived them. Looking back at 60 years of life is a powerful thing, as the five couples soon learned. Lewis (Lew) Gray, who retired from IBM as a corporate vice president and president of U.S. National sales/marketing division, says he never would have guessed where all of his friends would have ended up at this point in their lives.
"Back then, we were just wondering how to get out bicycle tire fixed," Gray said. "Every one of these guys came from humble beginnings, but just look, here we are."
During that 1952-53 school year, there were 11 boys from the south side of town and 10 from the north side. Because they had the deciding vote, all four class officers were from the south side.
Because the building they were in was already quite old, the men remember many of its special features.
"It had very old, wooden staircases," Reardon said. "I could sit in study hall and hear the pigeons twittering up there."
Some stories they told will never make it into print, but the men were glad to share many others. There was the time one boy brought a dead cat to biology class. And there was the hole they made through the hall into the library to hide from the nuns. And then there was the pool hall.
"Some of us enjoyed the pool hall, so we'd go to school and then skip classes to go over to the Ottumwa pool hall," Emry recalled. "The nuns got used to where we were going, so they'd call the Ottumwa pool hall looking for us."
Since the owner of the pool hall refused to lie for them, the boys were given five minutes to get back to the school under threat of losing their basketball eligibility. That usually did the trick, they readily admit.
"But we had some pretty famous 8-ball players," Reardon added with a smile.
Then there was the time that the boys decided to pull a prank in typing class. At the end of class, they typed up a letter and sent it to the principal saying they were from the recruiting office looking for 17-year-olds to recruit.
"We signed it 'Col. U.R. Duped," Rater said. "We never thought she'd do it, but here comes a sargeant from the actual recruiting office, telling us we were guilty of impersonating an officer. He was in a blue suit and sunglasses - it scared the bajeezes out of us."
Nothing actually came from the incident, but it taught the boys a lesson about their pranks.
"And I'm probably still in the FBI databse," Rater said.
The girls all attended Ottumwa Heights College, which was sold and became Indian Hills Community College. But the distance between the two schools didn't deter the boys.
"We'd sneak out and hollar for the girls," Reardon remembered. "The nuns would be yelling back, 'You'd better not!'"
CCHS and then Walsh were known for their basketball teams. The school itself had no gym, so they practiced and played anywhere they could find space - the YMCA, the YWCA and the basement of the coliseum all housed the CCHS basketball team at one time or another. They played their home games at Ottumwa High School, usually on Thursday nights to coordinate schedules.
"If we won the game, we usually lost the fight after the game," Reardon said.
Before leaving town after the wonderful weekend, some other activities were fit into the schedule. Some of the couples were able to visit family while others went to the movie theater. And, of course, there was a trip to the Canteen — one made within 30 minutes of hitting the city limits.
"There are some great memories here. We've not been together for a long time," Gray said. "I feel bad we've lost so many - they would have loved to be here for this."

National Boss Day has traditionally been a day for employees to recognize and thank their supervisor or boss. It started in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, registered the holiday with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Ms. Haroski's purpose was to designate a day to show appreciation for her boss and other bosses. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. She believed young employees often do not realize the challenges bosses face in running a business. Ms. Haroski chose October 16 because it was her father's birthday, and he also happened to be her boss.
During the early years of National Boss Day observance, the holiday was mocked as Hallmark Holiday. In fact, Hallmark did not offer a Boss's Day card for sale until 1979. Recognition for Boss Day has grown tremendously in popularity and Hallmark responded by increasing the size of its National Boss Day card collection by 90 percent in 2007. National Boss Day has become an international celebration in recent years and now is observed in countries such as Australia and South Africa, in addition to the United States.

With the completion of early voting, all eyes now turn to Tuesday.
Election Day for the Republican and Democratic Primary elections is Tuesday, May 29, across Orange County. After months of stop and start political campaigns courtesy of the much delayed district realignment process, election day is near.
Early voting across Orange County was a story of extremes. Turnout for the Republican Primary election was approximately four times more than the Democratic Primary election, mostly because the only locally contested races were in the Republican Party this year.
A total of 4,459 early votes were received in the Republican Primary election at the four early voting polling sites in Orange County. This included 428 ballots being submitted on Thursday, May 24. On Friday, the final day of early voting, each early voting site had its highest daily turnout of the two week period as another 682 ballots were received.
The Democratic Primary election was a bit slower with no contested races as a total of 1,096 early votes were received. The highest turnout of the early voting period was also on Friday, as 132 ballots were submitted at the four early voting locations. Another 99 ballots were turned in by registered voters on Thursday.
Election Day is Tuesday, May 29.
Thursday, May 24, and Friday, May 25

The new owners of local Shaw's supermarkets say no immediate changes are planned for the stores.
There are two stores in Waltham: a Shaw's in North Waltham on Lexington Street and another on River Street.
According to the Boston Globe, there are 155 Shaw's and 14 Star Markets with 17,000 employees. In November the troubled company had announced cutting 700 jobs.
The new owners, an investor group led by Cerberus Capital Management, bought the stores as part of a bigger $3.3 billion deal. Cerberus also controls the locally based Steward Health Care System network of community hospitals.
The Boston Herald says Albertson's will take over all the New England Shaw's and Star Markets. Albertson's is a well-known supermarket brand name in the West and parts of the northern Midwest.
The Herald also reports that the deal has industry analysts guessing that some of the Shaw's and Star Markets could be sold off again to others after the deal is done.
Do you shop at Shaw's or Star? Does it matter to you who owns the company?

A man who was shot on Thursday during a home invasion robbery in Richland Township has died.
Robert T. Williams Jr., 38, died at 4:24 p.m. Saturday in the Intensive Care Unit of Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski said.
Township police said two black males entered a home in the 1200 block of Lydia Street around 8 p.m. Thursday and shot Williams in the head with a handgun. A child inside was not hurt.
An autopsy, which is scheduled for today, will determine how many times Williams was shot, Kwiatkowski said.
"The investigation is continuing," he said.
News of Williams' death came as no surprise to authorities.
"From the beginning we investigated it as a homicide," Richland police Detective Kevin Gaudlip said.
Gaudlip said it appears robbery was the motive. Police are trying to determine whether anything was taken.
Police sought to assure residents the attack was not random. Police believe Williams knew his attackers. It's unclear, however, if he invited them inside or if they forced their way into the home.
Police have interviewed neighbors on the street, which is located off Scalp Avenue near Richland Cemetery.
Investigators are reviewing surveillance videos from businesses in the area to help them identify the suspects, determine what direction they fled and if they were on foot or in a vehicle.
"We're conducting interviews and following up on information," Gaudlip said.

at 12:35, senior midfielder
Craig Gibson (South Salem, N.Y.)
at 6:23, and sophomore midfielder

Eileen manages to keep the Victorian while bringing on the funk. It's a great combination as only an artist of her calibre could achieve.
