Maple View in Kenmare
Closing Its Doors
When staff and residents of Maple View of Kenmare were called into a meeting Tuesday, July 8, no one was prepared for the sad news they were told.
Gaylen Schmidt, one of the three owners of Maple View, informed those in attendance, that Maple View of Kenmare would have to close its doors by October 1, 2014.
He went on to say the two years of financial hardship is responsible for the decision.
The news weighed heavy on the 18 residents who call Maple View their home.
The senior facility was previously called the Baptist Home of Kenmare where it had been in operation since 1961.
One local resident, Kenny Gravesen, has called the Kenmare facility home for the past 19 years. He says he is going to miss being in Kenmare.
"This is a good place to live and I will miss it," said Gravesen. He also commented, "It's okay though. Moving to a new place is kind of exciting."

Opdahl Grocery, Kjelshus Take Top Prize in Chili Cook-off
By Ginny Heth
There was a 'hot time in the old town' on Saturday as Westhope Community Club hosted the First Annual Chili Cook-off!
May 10th was chosen as Community Day for Westhope with city-wide rummage sales happening throughout the day as well as the annual Presbyterian Women's fund raiser serving sloppy joes, pie and coffee. They also had basket- and purse-mania, a silent auction type activity that is fun for all. Included this year in the day's activities was the Trini Tree Frogs Youth Group detailing the insides of cars. They had a great turn-out for their fund raiser, even having to turn away a couple of cars that arrived after their time was up. Maybe they will have to plan another day of car cleaning since people were so happy to have someone to take on that task for them!
Meanwhile, all around town people's homes were beginning to smell a lot like a Mexican restaurant as pots of chili were started in anticipation for the Chili Cook-off. Around 3:00 p.m., the Gateway Community Room began buzzing with activity as the ten contestants brought their chili in for tasting......some contestants even brought their own Mexican ambience including table cloths, decorations (even some hung on the wall!) and music!!
Ten entirely different pots of chili were there for the tasting when it began at 4:30 p.m. coming from Westhope Farmers Union (Kevin Schroeder, cook); Westhope Fire Department (Ryan Ellsworth, cook); Double EE Service (Ben Cartwright, cook); John Gruenberg, M&D Pizza (Heather Lee, cook); Presbyterian Children (Lola & Randy Kimpland); Rachel Gruenberg; Kim & Lance Kjelshus; Opdahl's Grocery (Barb Opdahl, cook); and Westhope Ambulance (UB & Sylvia Schlieper, cooks). There were white chilis, red chilis, and no bean chilis. Some were quite spicy and some were just flavorful, with out the bite! Many contestants included 'add-ins' such as sour cream, onions, chips, crackers and cheese to make their offering more enticing. Community Club provided corn bread to make sure everyone had a way to 'cut the heat' between bowls of chili, coffee & water with the water being the most popular thing!
In all, nearly 100 people voted and there was a tie for first place! Opdahl's Grocery and Kim & Lance Kjelshus are the proud winners, sharing a traveling trophy for the year and prize money. Coming in a close third (only one vote separated the three chilis!) was Westhope Ambulance with UB's Road Kill Chili, who took home a small cash prize as well.
Plans are already in the works for the 2nd Annual Westhope Community Day Chili Cook-off, so get those recipes tweeked, plan on a few decorations for your table (Opdahl's & the Kjelshus' both had very nicely decorated tables -- whether that had anything to do with the winning or not.....) and take a chance at bragging rights for next year!!

Before I actually submit my design to Teefury (which would be the first sub for me) I wanted to get some opinions on what the design needs. I've been debating the color scheme which is why it's currently in grayscale. However an earlier version I created had an icy blue-faced Walt (to match the product) which is still a possibility.
The original version
And the bordered version
Suggestions and comments on the possible color choices or overall design are welcomed!

Pattywagon110 weeks agoThis is great, and I'm not even a fan of the series. The border makes the colors seem deeper. Keep it--it makes it feel more complete.
Good job, and good luck.
Thanks, Pattywagon! I appreciate it.
RiteGuyShirt110 weeks agoThat... is flat out amazing skill. I LOVE it!
Thanks a bunch! I'm thinking about adding the collar and a bit of the hood from his haz mat suit and possibly adding some beakers in the middle ground to make it feel more complete.
origamiP110 weeks agoFantastic! Such a great design! I love the show and would buy this on a shirt in a heartbeat!
Personally I like the first design, without the border, because it would look more cohesive with a shirt. But they're both just amazing! Also, I think it would almost benefit with more variety with the elements of the periodic table in the background.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion, origamiP! Having a mixture of various elements was something that I started playing around with but took out at the last minute. Now that you've mentioned it though, I'm going to add them back into the latest version and see how it looks. Thanks again for the help!
Side Note: I LOVE your avatar. PvZ was and continues to be a favorite of mine.
I made the final adjustments to my design, and now it's a WIP no more! Thanks to everyone for all of your comments and suggestions. See the final version below.
Big J109 weeks agoThat is awesome, I'd buy that for sure.
RiteGuyShirt109 weeks agome gusta.
ireneadler109 weeks agoI'd buy this is a heartbeat. The artwork is gorgeous. I love the lines of his face.
Thanks everyone! Here's to hoping it gets printed. *fingers crossed*
kgullholmen109 weeks agoreally great design ... nice work on the lines and shadows
the only thing I'd have to "criticize" would be that it looks as if Walt has a weird hairdo or his head on fire in the last version. not sure about that. but it's still very very good.
I made one for Jesse btw ;D
'cuz I like Jesse
heyboova109 weeks agoAwesome! I definitely need a breaking bad shirt.
bufkin109 weeks agoGreat work! I would most definitely buy this!
Rhymo109 weeks agoLooks really great! I personally think the borderless one would look better when printed on a shirt, but I do like some of the contrast of the bordered one. Maybe if you darkened the profile lines of the first one? Great stuff!
kgullholman Thanks for the comment and the criticism. I definitely considered how the flammable sign might be taken as a funky Walt hairdo (which he could rock regardless!) but looking at the design without it just didn't look right to me after awhile so I left it in. Something about it felt more cohesive to me.
heyboova & bufkin Thanks! I hope it's chosen.
Rhymo Thank you for the suggestions on the previous design, but if you scroll down a little further you'll find my reworked/submitted design. I hope you like it as much as the pic in my original post!
FreshTaDeath108 weeks agoThis shirt looks really good all your versions of it! personally I liked the second one the best but I do like the addition of the color in your final one.
good luck I hope it gets printed :)
nrique108 weeks agoI like the borderless design the best.

Burnside —
Even with two Dairy Queens, a new Orange Leaf and an ice cream truck, Somerset residents have still been screaming for more ice cream.
A national publication dedicated to all things secondary education has named Somerset Community College one of the best in the nation to work for.
Authorities are warning local residents of a possible phone scam.
The recent hearing regarding the conflict with county schools over non-resident students might not have gone Somerset's way, but that doesn't mean they're done fighting.

The Environment Has a Better Legislative Session
April 11, 2013 | WMFE - Florida environmental advocates are celebrating some eco-friendly bills this legislative session- including a bill that taxes sugar growers who farm in the Everglades. Audubon of Florida Executive Director Eric Draper told 90.7's Amy Green lawmakers are waking up to the fact that Floridians care about the environment as much as economic development. Draper started the conversation by explaining why the Everglades bill generated such interest.

Aledo cages Cougars in Thursday match, Southwest up next
Staff Report
Aledo kept its punting team on the sidelines for the entire game on Thursday, as the Bearcats' offense churned up nearly 500 yards against Western Hills in a District 7-4A game at Farrington Field.
The Bearcat offensive starters inflicted early damage on the Cougar defenders, and the Aledo subs saw considerable playing time in a mop-up role en route to a 56-0 drubbing of the Fort Worth team.
A pair of Pate Davis-to-Taco Anderson aerials got the 8-touchdown night started for Aledo. In their first series, Davis found Anderson for a 60-yard scoring toss, with the encore coming on the next series, this time a 51-yard touchdown pass.
Running back Jess Anders averaged 19 yards per touch on the night, finishing up with more than 200 yards and three touchdowns.
Back-up quarterback Luke Bishop spelled Davis later in the match, taking a good number of snaps in the second half, enough to finish 9 of 11 passing for 88 yards, one a 15-yard scoring strike to wideout Quanel Williams.
Improving to a district mark of 4-0 (6-1 overall), Aledo will use its 'long week' to prepare for Fort Worth Southwest, arguably the best of the Fort Worth schools. The Bearcats will host the Raiders on Friday, with the game time set for 7:30 p.m.
Bulldogs fall to Rice in district tilt
Staff Report
With quarterbacking duties relegated to backup Michael Rogers after an early exit by starter Bradley Bottoms, Millsap moved the ball but had trouble finding the end zone. An early surge by the Rice offense put the Bulldogs in a hole they could not climb out of as Rice won the District 6-2A match, 42-9.
A Rogers-to-King scoring toss of 75 yards provided the top highlight for Millsap fans. Rogers finished with five completions for 146 yards. Bottoms had a connection with Rogers for 16 yards before leaving the game.
Timothy Newberry led the Bulldog defense with 11 tackles and Kristian Martinez wrapped up Rice runners eight times on the night.
Millsap returns home on Friday looking to put up a 'W' against district-winless Dallas Life Oak Cliff. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium.

These pillows are fantastic! I am one of those sleepers who like to crumple my pillow into a ball and go from there, my husband likes full, fluffy pillow--these do both! AND there is none of the feather trails around the bedroom, they all stay in the pillow and do not stick you in the face or head as you sleep! These pillows don't get flat or lumpy- they fluff up to perfect with just a few turns. I completely recommend these pillows!
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort of the set of 4 pillows. The pillows puffed and firmed up within a few hours of taking them out of the packaging. The positive effect on my neck and head was apparent almost immediately upon using them. The ease in ordering and delivery was also a plus. The set of 4 pillows was a good value for the price.
These are absoutley the best pillows I have ever purchased. I have spent over $200 on Hungarian Goosedown and none of the pillows I have ever purchased provided just the right balance of support and softness. Pillows don't get any better than this!
I bought the super-standard size of these pillows after reading all the great reviews. I was disappointed when I received them. You can feel the feather stems inside, and the pillows are very, very flat. They also have a "birdy" smell. I put them outside on laundry rack for a few hours to air them out, and then put each in the dryer for 10 minutes with a softener sheet. That helped a little. These pillows will be fine inside decorative shams on the bed - and for the price, they were still a good value for that. Still, I need a new sleeping pillow and I've learned my lesson to look in person from now on! Also, the pillows in the picture are not the one's you'll receive. These pillows are flat, and gusseted, with a navy piping around the edge. There are so many five-star ratings of these pillows that it leads me to believe two different product lines are perhaps being used to fill orders for this item. There's just no way all those five-star ratings could be about the same pillows that I received.
Ever stayed at an upscale hotel and wondered where they got those wonderful pillows? My husband and I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find pillows that don't either go flat, or cramp our necks because they are too thick. These pillows cost much less (for all 4!) than we have spent previously (on just one!!) and since we got them, we have given all the other ones away. ( I counted 16 - yes...16!!!) They are VERY comfortable, look great on the bed, and stay fluffed up all night. They seem to conform to your head and position. We were pleasantly surprised. I would recommend these to anyone.
Nice item, just as described on the site. Very pleased with these pillows. Would buy them again. Just a small comment - they are quite soft, I prefer more medium to firm but as an item advertised that way you get what you will read in description.
These are not the greatest pillows ever, but as they are for our cottage, they will certainly stand up to three months use every year. For the price, they are great.
I have been looking for pillows for some time and took a chance on ordering on line. But we are very happy with these pillows. I have always used a foam pillow, these are so much better. Very, very satisfied
These pillows were for decorative purposes intitally, but they are so soft and comfortable my husband and I started using them everyday.
These pillows are very adjustable; fluff or squish to your liking. I can sleep on my back, side or stomach. If you have never owned a down/feather pillow it might take some getting used to. You need to manipulate it but it's easy. I got the King size.

I cover the business of technology.
It was inevitable that, upon Steve Jobs' death — after the requisite outpouring of emotion — the second-guessing would begin.
The latest carping comes from Henry Blodget of Business Insider about Siri:
Siri's voice recognition isn't very good, and her response times are often lousy. Basically, she just doesn't work very well.
Apple protected itself by launching Siri "in beta" (very, very odd for Apple), but you had to work hard to find the "in beta" labels in Apple's marketing materials.
And if Apple had just backed off Siri until they fixed it, this would have been fine. Again, everyone launches duds once in a while.
But Apple has not backed off.
Instead, Apple just launched a huge new iPhone 4S ad campaign centered around… Siri. The ads feature two celebrities, Samuel Jackson, and Zooey Deschanel, using Siri, and they show Siri working flawlessly.
We're guessing here, but we think it is highly unlikely that Apple would still be flogging Siri if Steve Jobs were still in charge of the company.
We think Steve Jobs would have either killed Siri or fixed her. And we imagine that he'd have given the Siri engineering team a piece of his mind as well.
Stylistically, I object to Henry's bombast and his use of the royal "we" – is he speaking on behalf of all the BI writers? – but that's fine. (However, Henry, the key to Siri is artificial intelligence, not speech recognition. The more data they gather from users from this "beta," the better it will get over time and the more difficult it will make it for competitors to catch up. But you can't get "there" from "here" without gathering this data, just like you can't make an omelette without cracking an egg. In my experience, Siri works well – especially outside of New York City AT&T service – and kids especially love it.)
What I really find hard to stomach is the "what would Steve do?" refrain. We hear it more and more.
Steve never would have paid a dividend.
The pundits are right. Cook ain't no Jobs. Not even close.
I couldn't agree more. Yeah Steve did an otherworldly job of inculcating the DNA of Apple with his vision. He also surrounded himself with incredibly talented people who now take this vision forward with a very clear plan.
Anyone who knows this industry also knows that there is always a roadmap that can have a time horizon as long as a decade.
Pundits are just that….
All those guys have such a great track record for what Jobs shoulda/coulda/woulda done when he was alive, of course the same great track record would carry over after he's gone.
Oh wait…
Jobs said he was going to spend the last dollar of Apples cash to destroy android. What kind of idiot would want a 2 dollar dividend when we've made 50% a year competing against android instead of waiting one more year and buy google and shut down android for good. How much would the share be worth if there was no competition for the iPhone? Why did Tim Cook and some other execs cashed out their options? Can you please explain?
They cashed out "some" of their options in March in order to pay taxes in April.
When you own shares in a company that have grown over 50% in one year, you have to pay taxes on that gain. So, where do you come up with the millions needed to pay such taxes?…. you exercise some of your options. That way you don't have to sell what you are currently holding. The exercised options will pay those taxes for you.
Basic Finance.
I agree completely. Well said. I'll only add that the whole notion of management-by-emulation is jejune. The fact that Jobs himself was aware of this and warned against it adds irony to the situation.
The only problem that I see with your article is that you have fallen, as most people have, to misuse of the word "pundit." Pundit, according to my Apple dictionary is derived from the Sanskrit word "pandita" meaning "learned." Rarely are the people who are called pundits today actually learned. More likely, they have acquired a lot of information and have the gift of being articulate, no matter how well or ill-advised their opinions are.
That said, I am truly with you on being tired of hearing or reading pundits (the articulate people expressing opinions) saying, "Steve Jobs would never have done this." Knowing very few facts about the issue, and not knowing Steve Jobs at all, I would never hazard such an opinion. But then, even if I knew much more than I do and was a long time close personal friend of Steve Jobs, I still would not do it. It's an opinion, pure and simple. Now, if "I don't believe that Apple Computer ought to be doing this" was the statement, then that's one man's opinion, take it or leave it. Based on what I see in your article, I would leave even that.

I've played hundreds of protests. I've marched on dozens of picket lines. I've strummed my guitar at innumerable demonstrations. I've been arrested more times than I'm willing to put in print in support of striking workers. But I thought now is the time to take a break. I have a 16-month-old son crawling around on the floor and another baby boy about to be born any day now, so I decided to curtail the traveling, the protesting, the rocking.
And then I turned on the news. For days I had been following the exciting events in Cairo and across the Middle East. But when I turned on the television and saw 100,000 people marching through the streets of MADISON, WISCONSIN to protest an anti-union bill put forward by some schmuck named Governor Walker it caught my attention. I turned to my wife and said, "Honey, our boys are gonna grow up to be union men." She sighed and replied, "The Nightwatchman is needed. You should go."
And so The Nightwatchman went.
A nice lady at the airport looked at my guitar and politely asked, "Why are you going to Madison, young man?" I replied, "Because they're making history in Madison, ma'am. And I don't want to miss it."
So I flew to Chicago with Wayne Kramer (of the legendary MC5) only to find that all the flights to Madison had been cancelled due to a big winter storm. But neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night can keep The Nightwatchman from his appointed task. My good friend and fellow musician from Libertyville, Illinois, Ike Reilly, picked us up at the airport and together with our small crew of rabble-rousers we began the precarious journey up I-90 through the storm. Cars and trucks were piled up in the ditch along the roadside, but with fortitude and constant reminders from elder statesman Wayne Kramer that "We're in no hurry here. Slow down, brother," we made it safely to Madison.
Upon arrival, we linked up with the Boston band Street Dogs and Tim McIlrath from Rise Against, all sturdy union supporters. We had a great meeting with representatives of the AFL-CIO to make plans for the following day. They have been one of the unions spearheading these historic protests but I sensed that they were somewhat nervous about me staying "on message." Perhaps they had read stories about riots at Rage Against the Machine shows, or maybe because I was decked out head-to-toe in my Industrial Workers of the World gear. Anyway, I was eager to get to the Capitol building and into the action.
The Capitol building in Madison has been occupied by students and workers for more than ten days now. But at 11 PM the doors are locked, and if you're in, you're in, and if you're out, you're out. We were out. And so one of the protesters on the inside claimed that I was his intern in order to slip me through security. Once inside, I was amazed at what I saw: the building was packed with a cross section of the people of Madison, all demanding justice. There were students, teachers, firefighters, policemen, veterans, nurses, old hippies and young rebels in every corner and corridor of the building. There was a festive spirit in the air and a determined feeling that they were indeed making history. On my way out, I was actually "bro-ing down" with some cops…AT A PROTEST. Quite new for me. The police were union men themselves, and wholly supportive of the protesters, and I thought, "This is a strange and new, exciting day indeed when the police are delivering bratwurst to the students occupying the State Capitol and high-fiving The Nightwatchman."

Mary Knox's 1952 Ford Fordor is almost painful to behold in bright sunlight with its stunning pearl gold paint job. Gwynn Bilson sprayed the color after getting permission to replicate it from the customizer who developed it. For this application, the paint is known as "Knox Gold."

At first glance, the Fordor appears to be a two-door sedan. But the rear doors are still there, just without the door handles, which have been skillfully shaved off.
The '52 displays a wicked nose-down stance, thanks to the Air Ride Technologies Shockwave air bags up front and the Monroe adjustable air shocks in back.
The rear of the "Knox Gold" beauty features '56 Oldsmobile taillights frenched into the fenders and a classic "flying eyeball" decklid design by pinstriper Ron Meyers.
A closer look at the Olds taillight swap, enhanced by the bezels being molded into the fenders and accentuated by fine-line pinstriping.
A closer look at Ron Meyers' graphics on the trunk lid shows the ultra-fine pinstriping details.
A new-old-stock set of gravel guards was shined up and added to the flanks of the Ford. Builder Gary Knox said he wasn't sure about the color until he saw the chrome and stainless trim on the car, and then he was convinced.
Tucked up under the fenderwells are a set of Intro Saltster wheels, the fronts wearing 215x50x17 Toyo tires, the rears carrying 235x55x17s.
Power is now supplied by a stout 351-cubic-inch Ford Lightning SVT V-8 running a GT-40 plenum and throttle body and a set of Speedway headers that flow into a hand-fabricated 2-1/4 inch exhaust system featuring Cherry Bomb glasspacks.
Mary Knox jokes that her car was supposed to be a ring for her 50th wedding anniversary. "A ring would have been a lot cheaper," says husband Gary, who had the anniversary commemorated on the radiator bulkhead.
Joe Newlon created the "M" logo that accents the leatherwork on the Infiniti bucket seats by Rick Fisher Upholstery.
The original style dash was retained, but updated with Dakota Digital gauges, a Juliano steering wheel and an added panel to house the outlets for the Custom Auto Air cabin cooling. Joe Newlon designed the dash and painted the faux leather "pad," while Rick Fisher handled the ultrasuede/Cessna leather upholstery duties.
The Juliano steering wheel rides atop a tilt ididit column connected to a power Mustang II-style rack and pinion, while the custom-built shift linkage controls a Ford AOD transmission.
Family friend Karen Fisher said the brilliant gold color of the car reminded her of her daylilies. So a daylily of the appropriate color, surrounded by butterflies, was added to the dash decor. Note the rear-view camera/DVD screen that neatly folds out of the dash.
The stock '52 Ford rear seat was treated to the leather/monogram treatment to match the late-model bucket seats up front.
A subtle mix of textures and colors reveals the planning that went into the interior design. Cessna leather is accented by complementing ultrasuede, while the garnish moldings are finished in paint that looks for all the world like soft leather.
And if there's any question about whether the back doors are still functional, here's the proof. A set of solenoid door-poppers is planned to make opening easier since the exterior door handles are long gone.
The two-tone leather/suede upholstery theme carries over to the trunk, which also features contrasting black carpet trimmed in leather.
Is Mary Knox happy with her 50th anniversary gift? What do you think?

"In everyday life when something doesn't work, most people stop doing it and try something new. Well, we know that the President's policies have not helped this economy get back on strong footing. We know they're not working. These policies of stimulus, the radical takeover of healthcare, and the incurrence of more debt - these are not working to help people get back to work in this country.
"The White House now says that perhaps we should focus on small business. Thank you Mr. President, we want you to help us do something for the backbone of this country, which are American small businesses. Some of the things that the White House mentioned are the things that we've been talking about for over a year now - like businesses expensing, like helping business startups, like trying to address the visa cap issue for foreign workers. All of these are in our Plan for America's Job Creators. On all of these things, we've been asking the President to join us to help small businesses, so we're very excited about that and hopefully we can get something done.
"Now, we also need to make sure that we are sending the signal that we are going to get the fiscal house straight here in Washington and stop spending money we don't have. We have a bill on the floor today that does that. It says we have to reduce the expenditures having to do with the growth in the number of federal employees. We want to freeze federal employee pay, including our own. This is a bill which makes sure that we are consistent with what we're expecting of everybody else, and to show that we're doing it here in the legislative branch as well. We hope our colleagues on the other side of the aisle will join us in doing that."

The Kansas Class 4A girls sub-state tournament at Fort Scott may be the most competitive in the state.
Consider that four of the eight teams are league champions and that the field boasts a 104-53 combined record for a 66.2 winning percentage. To put it into perspective, the tournament field for the nearby 4A girls sub-state at Independence has a combined record of 62-93.
"I expect every game to be tough," Baxter Springs coach Kris Crotts said. "Every game is going to be hard fought."
The Lions themselves are a good illustration of the parity in the tournament. Baxter Springs (13-6), which was CNC League co-champions with the Frontenac Raiders, enters the sub-state as the No. 5 seed and will travel to Girard to face the fourth-seeded Trojans (14-6) at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Two of Baxter's losses were to top-seeded Frontenac by a total of three points.
The sub-state's other three first-round games on Tuesday include No. 8 Anderson County (7-13) at Frontenac (16-4), No. 7 Columbus (12-8) at Frontier League champion and second-seeded Prairie View (15-5) and No. 6 Pittsburg (13-6) at SEK League champion and third-seeded Fort Scott (14-5). The semifinals and championship game will be played at Fort Scott.
Getting to Fort Scott won't be easy for any of the eight teams. Only four wins separate the No. 1 and No. 7 seeds.
Luckily for Baxter Springs, it has been playing its best basketball as of late. The Lions opened the season with a 7-5 record before going 6-1 during league competition.
"I think it came down to that we played a lot of close games early," Crotts said. "As the season went on, we learned from those games. We grew mentally and learned how to finish games."
Coincidentally, Crotts said the turning point came during a 47-45 win over Girard on Feb. 5. Baxter Springs junior Caitlin Roberts hit the game-winner at the buzzer. The Lions haven't lost since and enter tournament on a six-game winning streak.
Senior guard Nina Spence leads the Lions with 17.2 points per game. But it's her ability to get her teammates involved that may have helped get Baxter over the hump.
"The whole team has improved since conference play started," Crott said. "Nina learned when to take over a game and when to be more passive. She's got smarter and better just like everyone else on the team as the season has gone on."
Junior Aleigh Grimes averages 11.1 points and 6.2 rebounds. Senior Ashleigh Grimes, who averaged 10.3 points through seven games, is trying to return from a fractured fibula.
Girard is led by all-state guard Hadyn Herlocker, who signed with Pittsburg State. Herlocker scored 22 points during the Trojans' 45-44 win over Baxter on Dec. 7 and 28 during the loss.
"She's a great scorer, but I think her best attribute is how well she sees the floor," Crotts said. "She handles double teams well and finds the open man. That's what makes her so tough."
The sub-state champion will advance to the 4A state tournament next week in Salina.
Games on the boys' side of the Fort Scott 4A sub-state tip off tonight.

Haslam Raises Cabinet Salaries 11 Percent
By Erik Schelzig
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Republican Gov. Bill Haslam has increased how much his agency heads earn compared with what their counterparts made in the administration of his Democratic predecessor, an Associated Press analysis of public records has found.
Haslam, who has proposed a 1.6 percent raise for state employees, has increased the minimum pay for commissioners by 11 percent to $150,000. The raises come as Haslam seeks to eliminate nearly 1,200 government positions to help cope with the $2 billion in federal stimulus grants ending in the upcoming budget year.
"It's my philosophy that in government we should probably have fewer people -- but people that we pay better," Haslam told the AP in an interview on Wednesday.
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman, who was sworn into office Tuesday, is the best-paid agency head. The former Teach for America vice president is making $200,000 per year, up $20,000, or 11 percent, from his predecessor in Gov. Phil Bredesen's administration.
Meanwhile, Safety Commissioner Bill Gibbons' nearly $178,000 salary is $43,000 more than his predecessor, a 32 percent increase. Gibbons during last year's gubernatorial contest endorsed Haslam after giving up his own bid for the Republican nomination..
"The governor is working to transform state government, and in order to do that he has attempted to make salaries more market comparable across state government," Gibbons said in a statement.
Haslam, who does not accept his $170,000 salary from the state, said the increases reflect the emphasis he's placing on education and public safety. He said Gibbons has more responsibilities than his predecessor because he's also heading a multi-agency initiative to reduce crime in Tennessee.
Huffman made about $230,000 with Teach for America in 2009, according to the nonprofit organization's latest federal tax filing, while Gibbons made about $144,000 in his previous job as chief prosecutor in Shelby County.
The state salary changes come as a surprise to House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Nashville, who said the governor should have informed legislative leaders that he intended to raise salaries for Cabinet-level positions.
"I'm somewhat shocked about it," he said. "It's tough times; a lot of people are hurting."
Haslam acknowledged that increasing his top aides' pay could lead to criticism. But he noted that all of his agency heads have all been told to make cuts, so ultimately the state will be spending less.
"Every one of those commissioners is going to end up saving the state a whole lot more money than the small incremental cost of their salary," he said.
Commissioner pay was last increased in 2007 during the Bredesen administration, when the salary range was set between $135,000 and $180,000. Bredesen also moved the head of the of economic development agency to the top compensation tier, a move that represented a 63 percent pay increase for then-Commissioner Matt Kisber.
Bredesen at the time called the increases a "perfectly reasonable thing to do," and argued that the previous salary levels were artificially depressed because of political considerations. Bredesen said he was willing to take the heat for the pay hikes to keep key commissioners on staff for the duration of his second term -- and to give his successor an easier time assembling a Cabinet.
Haslam echoed those sentiments on Wednesday.
"In government we're never going to pay what they do in the private market," he said. "But if we're going to attract great people, we're going to have to at least make it comparable."
When Bredesen increased pay for his agency heads, 38 other officials in the executive branch received raises because their salaries were tied to commissioners' earnings. Haslam spokesman David Smith said no similar hikes occurred this year, with the exception of Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn, whose pay jumped the same 32 percent as Gibbons'.
Gwyn now earns $178,596 a year, up $43,596 from what he made last year.
11% increase? Come ON! Gwyn's increase is more than double some State Employees ANNUAL salary!!
This is my first time to respond. I got so feed up what I herd on the news giving 11& 32 percent raises when our state is in drain mode.You use the excuse to keep up with other states.That is just bull!!You could find many people that would qualify for their job,and do it for less pay.Let God lead you in the right direction and your time their you will make better choices.I don't think you asked God on this decision.We (TN) are struggling and you just added more burden.Try to remember most people are real lucky to make 35.000 yearly
Bill Haslam's administration has done more to help themselves than the state thus far. His first week in office, he made sure he threw out Bredeson's policy to disclose income. In my opinion, a public figure should have to disclose their income. Can a CEO of another company really do a good job bieng in a public office?
Now he's giving unreasonable raises to his cabinet? For what? Who pays for a job before it's actually done? As a taxpayer and conservative, I can say that this is a stupid move. I like how they feel like they deserve raises despite the fact that the state continues to lose money. Real smart, Bill.

National Survey Finds 10.6 Million People Helped By Navigators and Assisters During the Affordable Care Act's First Open Enrollment Period
An estimated 10.6 million people nationally received personal help from navigators and assisters during the Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period, finds a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey of navigators and assister programs nationally. The survey estimates that the 4,400 assister programs operating nationally had an estimated 28,000 full-time staff and volunteers, suggesting each assister would have helped more than 370 people on average during the six-month open enrollment period that ran from October 1 through March 31.News Release Read More

The Orange Leader
School is out for the summer, in most locations, and the annual summer reading programs are raring to go.
Local public libraries in Bridge City and Vidor have already begun their annual summer reading program, and the Orange Public Library program begins today. Each program offers children in those respective communities a great opportunity for fun, interaction with peers and education in a safe environment.
The City of Orange Public Library begins its annual summer reading program for children entering first through sixth-grade. Children will receive a book bag and a reading log at registration. Children will receive "library bucks" to spend at the Library Store during the Reading Club Carnival on Wednesday, July 31.
The program is held from 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., every Wednesday from today through July 31 and will feature a variety of entertaining programs, including "Book Bash" today, which is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
"The main purpose of the summer reading program is to get kids to love reading and to continue reading during the summer in order to keep up their literary skills," said Karen Phares of the Orange Public Library. "We've had over 130 kids register for the reading program and about 100 for our pre-school program."
The "Read to Me" program is designed for preschool age children and is held from 10:45 a.m. - 11:15 a.m., every Wednesday, during the regular reading program, in the Children's Room of the Orange Public Library.
"We want the little kids to get an early start with reading, and this program is designed to do that," Phares explained. "Hopefully, they will develop a love of reading that they will carry with them into school and beyond."
Each week a story will be presented by a guest reader and each child attending each week will receive a "library buck" to spend at the Library Store on July 31.
Call the Orange Public Library at 409-883-1086 for information.
Other programs include "Art to Go" on June 26, "Alligators and Turtles" on July 3, "Summer Cartooning" on July 10, "A Visit with Maxine the Owl" on July 17, "Tales and Travels" on July 24, and the finale on July 31.
The Bridge City Public Library holds its weekly reading program for children with ages ranging from Pre-K through fifth grade from 11 a.m. - noon, every Wednesday inside the Bridge City Community Center.
Today's program, "Put That Fire Out, Mr. Fireman," will feature guest Tiffany Ivy. Other programs include "Balloon Animals Pop!" on June 26, "Pecos Bill is Not the Only Folktale" on July 10, "Therapy Dogs Caution" on July 17, "Pygmy Goats Do Like to Be Petted" on July 24 and the finale on July 31 featuring an awards ceremony and the Bridge City Strutters.
Visit www.bridgecitypubliclibrary.com or call 409-735-4242 for information.
The Vidor Public Library's summer reading program is held from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m., every Wednesday beginning today at inside the Parish Hall of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 1600 N. Main in Vidor.
It's remaining programs will be held today, then again on June 26, July 3, July 10 and the grand finale on July 24.
Prizes are available for children who read at least 20 books and keep the information on a reading log. Children will receive an entry for the grand prizes after 20 books are read, and then another entry for each additional 10 books up to 100 books total.
If you are not a member of the library and want to be one please bring a valid Texas Driver's License or Texas ID and proof of your home address. If you live outside the Vidor city limits, then there is a $10 yearly fee. For more information call 409-769-7148.

My general focus the past few weeks has been the Gyr family. When I started researching them, I only had a name of my maternal great-grandmother, Lillian GREER. This was passed along to me by my mother. Lillian GREER married Bernard Francis MACKIN, before 1930.
I was able to locate the death certificate of Lillian G. MACKIN, putting her birth in Jefferson, Kentucky on July 17, 1885. The parents were listed as Mary and Jerimiah GYER. At the time, I had not heard the GYER name before, from anyone. It sounded close enough to GREER though for me to hypothesize that GREER could be an americanized version of GYER. Some surname research of GYER suggested an origin point of Germany or Switzerland. Unfornately, there, the trail went cold for a long time. I wasn't able to locate any GREERs or GYERs that lived in the Kentucky area that fit the data I already had.
A few months later, my uncle graciously sent me a large collection of photos and documents that belonged to my grandmother. In it, I discovered a few photos of my great-grandmother, Lillian. On the back of them was written "Lillian E. Gyr Mackin". Two bits of information stuck out at me. First, the name GYR. Although very close to GYER, it was a significant piont in the right direction. Second, the "E". What was that for? At the time I had no clue. Again, the trail went cold. No Lillian E., Mary or Jerimiah GYRs showed up in records that fit the data I had.
A short while later I quickly ran Lillian GYRs name through familysearch.org. A bunch of Elizabeth GYRs came up, although none in the right time frame or area. Why Elizabeth? After some research I was able to learn that the first uses of the name Lillian were as a diminutive of Elizabeth. I also remembered the "E" I saw on the back of the photograph. Turning back to census records, I was able to find an Elizabeth GYR with the correct birth data, and mother Mary, living in the Jefferson, Kentucky area around the turn of the century.
No sign of Jeremiah, however. I was able to find some city directory listings of what appears to be the correct person, but he disappears from records before the turn of the century. It's possible that he may have died before 1900.
It took a while to get here, but this has opened up a whole new avenue of research for me and the GYR family. Pays to be persistent, and never let any bit of information, however small, go unresearched.

We've spent a great deal of time in this space telling you that D&D is, first and foremost, about fun. It's a social experience you enjoy with your friends, or at the very least with people with whom you share this common interest. You get to use your imagination, engage in a shared storytelling experience, eat junk food, and tell lots of inappropriate jokes (maybe that last one's more my personal experience, but none of this is new to you if you've played D&D).
Of course, it's easy to have fun in a D&D game when the attention is on you. Good DMs take opportunities to create adventures around a single character. And this is awesome. Whenever I'm in a campaign that does this, I feel more involved, more interested, and more immersed in the game and the action when my character is in the spotlight. In addition to your character leveling up through XP, your PC also gets to level up in personality as his or her personal issues are resolved (or not).
But what happens when your storyline concludes and the party moves on to pursue the agenda of another adventurer? After all, we can't always expect the DM's personal and undivided attention on our character's personal life story. This is a cooperative experience, and nearly every player should receive some of this attention.
When the focus inevitably shifts, how do you stay involved? This came up recently in our game. We'd just spent an adventure focusing on my character's backstory and reached a conclusion… of sorts (with Chris Perkins's game, there's rarely a true and final resolution to anything… but that's another editorial). Now we're off pursuing an adventure tied directly to Rodney Thompson's avenger.
I'll be the first to confess: I could feel my attention shifting gears as we made this transition. It's not like I was losing interest, hooking up my iPod mid-game and checking in just long enough to toss the odd d20. I knew the adventures would still continue to be fun and engaging. But I recognized that I was taking a back seat in the story. And you know what? It was a little tough to adapt.
Rather than get on my pity-potty (as my mom would say), I cowboyed up. I remembered that throughout the previous weeks, Rodney, and by extension, his character Vargas, had shown nothing but support as my character took center stage. I wanted to return that favor. I started to think about how Deimos, my PC, would react to his buddy being in need—just as I would try to do in the real world. When one of my friends needs a hand, I'm there to schlep a couch or give a ride to the airport.
So I've decided to make Rodney's quest my own. It's not that I want to steal his moments; far from it. But our characters are lifelong friends. It makes sense that Deimos would be intimately concerned with those things that his friend would focus on. I'm making his villains mine, I'm embracing his goals. And now, I find myself looking forward to each session as much as I did a few weeks back. I want to see how Vargas comes out of this, how he changes, and how Rodney plays those changes at the table. Things came to a head last night, and Chris left us at a cliffhanger as Vargas must now make an incredibly difficult choice. (Chris will have more of that in his Io'mandra blog and wiki, so stay tuned there.)
I can't wait for next week so I can see where Rodney wants to put his couch.
What about you? How do you deal with the spotlight being on individual players? Do you enjoy those opportunities when the light is on you? If you run a game, how do you make sure you split your attention among all the players equally? Or do some of your players prefer to avoid that attention? Send your comments and stories to email@example.com.
Last month I asked which classes, races, and, well, everything needed more support. I plowed through a bunch of responses, and here are some highlights:
I saw lots of requests for more Realms support and for Eberron race support.
Plus, lots of requests for more artificer content. I think those of you who wrote those emails will be excited by this month's article detailing a new artificer build.
And minotaurs—who knew? But we've seen lots of requests for minotaur support. Well, the reason we've held off so far is largely because the minotaur is one of the races in Player's Handbook 3, as anyone who has seen the cover can tell you. But we'll ramp up more minotaur coverage in the very near future. Promise!
Then there were warlocks and rogues, for strikers (Performing the Pact and Class Acts: Rogue in this issue!); and for leaders in general. Well, Warlord Essentials hits this month, and we have plans for all the rest.
Thanks for your feedback, and keep it coming!

[JURIST] A group of more than 30 privacy and civil liberty groups on Wednesday asked [petition, PDF; press release] the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [official website] to suspend the full body scanner [TSA backgrounder] program being implemented by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) [official website]. The petition states that use of the full body scanner program is an invasion of privacy [JURIST news archive] and that:
deployment of Full Body Scanners in US airports, as currently proposed, violates the U.S. Constitution, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act ("RFRA"), the Privacy Act of 1974 ("Privacy Act"), and the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA"). As described below, the FBS program effectively subjects all air travelers to unconstitutionally intrusive searches that are disproportionate and for which the TSA lacks any suspicion of wrongdoing.

The Vampire Diaries Episode 1.20
Blood Brothers
Written By: Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec
Directed By: Liz Friedlander
Original Airdate: 29 April 2010
In This Episode...
Stefan has detoxed, but he is still huddled in the cellar. He refuses to eat, refuses to leave, and refuses to talk to Elena or Damon. Between the solitude and the hunger, Stefan flashes back/hallucinates to the time that he and Damon became vampires...
The founders were rounding up vampires, and the Salvatore boys watched from the shadows. They created a distraction, then ran to the paddy wagon and released Catherine. But the Salvatore brothers were shot dead. They awoke days later, healed, ringed, and under Emily's care. Both boys had Catherine's blood in their bodies - Damon by choice; Stefan by compulsion. If the boys did not drink human blood, they would die and it would be over. This was the plan; however, when Stefan went home to say a proper farewell to his father, things go awry. Daddy Dearest was the one who shot both boys for being vampire sympathizers. Upon seeing his freshly undead son, Papa Salvatore arms himself with a stake. Stefan defends himself, but not knowing his own strength he impales his father on the stake meant for him. The scent of the blood is too much and Stefan gives in to the overwhelming hunger. Empowered, Stefan compels a young woman to follow him back to where Damon is wasting away. When Damon refuses to drink, Stefan rips the girl's throat open, and instinct wins out. Damon vows to make Stefan's life miserable.
In the present, Stefan is desperately trying to get Elena to hate him, but she won't give up on him. He vamps out and tries to scare her, but she stands her ground. Stefan gives up and admits that he is consumed by guilt and can't handle it anymore. Elena returns his ring as a symbol that she feels he is ready, and tells him to join her upstairs when he feels the same. Leaving the ring behind, Stefan heads out to the lake - the place where he turned his brother all those years ago - and waits for sunrise. Vampire suicide (incidentally, a great band name. Just give me credit). Elena finds him and tells him that killing himself won't change anything; Stefan counters by saying that he is tired of constantly fighting his hunger. She gives him the ring and a kiss, and tells him that it is his choice: give up or keep fighting. She walks, and Stefan chooses life (and poontang). Damon, though glad to see his little brother is doing better, tells Stefan that his anger stems not from Stefan forcing him to drink, but the mere fact that Catherine turned him as well.
Elsewhere, Damon and Aleric team up to follow a lead on Isobel which proves fruitless. Anna has sex with Jeremy. Uncle John tells Elena he knows she is dating a vampire. Pearl meets John for drinks, but once she tells him that she gave Jonathan's invention to Damon, she is of no use to him. Pearl decides it is time to leave town, upsetting Anna. She goes to say goodbye to Jeremy, but when she returns, she finds her mother dead - by John's stake.
Dig It or Bury It?
This felt like "A Very Special Episode" episode. As in, "Depression and suicide hit close to home on a very special episode of The Vampire Diaries." While it was nice to finally get some clarity on the whole who-turned-who situation, I could have lived without the brooding Stefan.
I know in the past I have compared Stefan to Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This episode nearly made the comparison identical. After Stefan and Damon have both turned completely, Emily approaches Stefan and tells him that "even in death, your heart remains pure. That will be your curse."
I am starting to think Uncle John is really Jonathan Gilbert. I thought that initially, but dismissed it because the Salvatores would have recognized him. But in this episode, Jonathan Gilbert was shown in flashback, and I could swear he was the same person as Uncle John, beneath facial hair that would make ZZ Top proud.
Dear Diary
Though we don't get a glimpse into what she is writing, Elena has hit the books again, journalling while baby-sitting Stefan. Over drinks, John tells Pearl that Jonathan wrote that she was his one true love. Pearl obviously felt the same way, but John dashed her hopes by revealing that he was lying - he hated her deeply, and his dying regret was not staking her when he had the chance.
Myths Revamped
Aleric questions Damon on the whole "entering a house when invited" thing. Damon says that he has to be invited in by the owner or stakeholder of a home (assuming that person is human). Damon admits that hotels are "kind of a grey area," and that you kind of "play it by ear" once you get there. He doesn't really elaborate on that, but it seems to depend on how long a punter has rented a room for.
In the very last shot of the episode, Isobel surprises Aleric at the bar, looking particularly hot (and remember, this is Mia Kirshner - she is always looking some kind of hot). So next week's episode will be Isobel-centric. Apparently she seduces Aleric, sleeps with Damon, and introduces herself to Elena. All while wearing a sultry, smoky eye and the occasional piece of naughty lingerie.

Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos was put on the defensive this week as Democrats sent around a document that they said shows the Republicans have only one thought in mind when it comes to redistricting: Will it help the GOP stay in the majority?
The memo, written on government paper, refers to parts of Long Island as "politically undesirable."
Mark Burgeson, who the Daily News said is still an analyst for the Legislative Task Force on Reapportionment, wrote the memo to Skelos nearly 10 years ago, when the Rockville Centre Republican was the task force chairman.
Burgeson writes about a few scenarios, including creating minority heavy districts and goes on to analyze whether it would help keep GOP incumbents entrenched in the Senate.
The memo became political fodder Tuesday when Bill Hammond of the Daily News wrote this:
This should have been a cut-and-dried decision driven by straightforwardly applying constitutional rules to head counts from the census. As the memo makes plain, however, the Senate GOP was eagerly manipulating the process for its own gain.
"The only reason to go to 63," Burgeson wrote, "is to strengthen the Long Island delegation by combining politically undesirable areas in the extra district."
Translation: If we can pack Latinos and blacks, who vote Democratic, into one district, it might make it easier for neighboring Republicans to get reelected.
A Skelos spokesman responded by saying "As we've said before, we're committed to a redistricting process that's bipartisan, transparent and fair." He would not respond to Daily News questions about the memo.
