Walter Mihm got booted out of the tenth grade.
Just ask his wife, Stanis, about it. She's proud to tell the story of what ended up catapulting her husband to "I'll show you" success. Call it his teacher and principal's "aha" moment. Some 70 years later, the 86-year-old entrepreneur has a year-and-a-half-old new business — Walter Mihm's Steakhouse.
And it's just the latest in a lifelong string of business ventures of which the resident (of the New Monmouth section of Midddletown) and Stanis are very proud.
Pay a visit. They'll tell you all about them and more. It's not just a restaurant. It's a community experience.
"Yes, Walter was kicked out of the tenth grade and he showed them all," Stanis said merely five minutes after meeting this Patch editor. "His teacher, for no good reason, looked at him one day and said, in front of the entire class, 'You. You're never going to amount to anything.' He said horrible things to Walter and he just wouldn't stop. So, Walter decked him. And he got sent to the principal and kicked out of school. He never went back. We ran into that principal one day at one of Walter's restaurants in Monmouth Beach and he extended his hand to Walter. Walter refused to shake his hand. He never will. He never forgot that. Boy, was that teacher ever wrong!"
It was a case of who's sorry now; and, one that, to this day, motivates the man behind the business who, in spite of his age, has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
Walter Mihm will tell you a few of his own life, community and business stories himself, if you ask him. And he's got plenty to tell, if you're lucky enough to be there when he makes his rounds.
The couple's mainstay presence is all part of the carefully cultivated community atmosphere in the restaurant, not to mention the alluring smell of a good, old-fashioned steakhouse steak and plenty of intriguing specials.
And if you visit the small, red building perched on the side of Route 36 in the Leonardo section of Middletown, you're likely to see Mihm there. He's there every day, the very friendly staff will tell you.
When Patch paid a visit recently and asked about the restaurant's namesake, known for bringing the first ferry service to the Bayshore area (Direct Line), we were told by very welcoming, friendly manager Patty Malloy, "Oh, he's doing great. He usually comes in at about 6 or 6:30 p.m. He likes to be here every day."
The conversation is something that comes before, during and after dinner. And it's welcoming, not intrusive.
Once you take a gander at the extensive menu and specials, you may want to ask Patty or your friendly waitress' opinion.
They'll share anything you need to know. Patty's husband, Neil, is the chef.
They'll tell you that the bacon-wrapped scallops dish with a unique secret sauce is very popular; and there's a reason for that — they're delicious. Cooked just right, the sea scallops' flavor was complemented, not overpowered, by the bacon and sauce that had a hint of horseradish.
There's a great raw bar at Mihm's, including oysters, clams and the usual shrimp cocktail. The oysters, from the Chesapeake, were very fresh and just sweet enough.
Patty will tell you that her husband loves to experiment. And that he does — quite well.
When Patch was there, he had a lasagna appetizer on the menu that was a big hit and something you may not imagine. That would be lasagna made with goat cheese, spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Sound like an unlikely combo? It was rather likely. YUM!
Then there was the meatball Parmigiana soup. Sounds very weird. Tastes very good. The soup comes in a crock, looking like French onion on the outside. On the inside, it was another story. There was an Italian bread crouton, just like the French bread with onion soup, and a tomato-based, cheesy soup with small meatballs. Very interesting. Definitely worth a try, especially if you love the idea of "souped up" Italian food.
Then, of course, there are the steaks. Wow. Every kind of steak imaginable is on the menu. Walter and Stanis, Patty and Neil have created what they set out to create — a New York-style steakhouse right here on the Bayshore of Middletown.
So, we ordered some steak, of course; and while waiting for the grilled delights — that melted in the mouth like, well … "butta" — had some great conversation with our waitress and Patty, who told us all about her husband's penchant for coming up with innovative menu concoctions.
"I don't know where he comes up with this stuff, but whatever special it is, it always turns out great," she said.
There's nothing Neil won't try, she added. And his creative culinary quests are perfect complements to the classic steakhouse menu filled with every prime cut of beef imaginable, including ribeye, porterhouse, filet mignon and New York strip. Then there's the New Zealand rack of lamb with a rosemary demi-glace and pork chops served with apple sweet onion compote or Cajun rub. Then there are ribs specials. And, you can add a five-ounce lobster tail to any of those entrees.
Speaking of seafood, there's a full menu of it, from live Maine lobster, to Chilean sea bass crusted with crabmeat with lemon butter, to lobster, shrimp and scallops fra diavlo over linguini dishes.
It's no surprise that the owners/operators of this Bayshore niche have a tasty, unique dining experience in store for patrons.
Mihm's restaurants included: the shore classic Channel Club in Monmouth Beach, The Haul Out on the Shrewsbury River, The Waterfront in Sea Bright (from 1970 to 1984) and operation of the Old Orchard in Eatontown (from 1980 to 1992).
Neil and Patty Malloy were managing partners of the Olde Union House in Red Bank. The back of the menu will tell you the whole family story.
It also invites you to "Please come back often and become part of the 'Family.'" Do that. It's a treat to dine and converse there.
The restaurant is open Tuesdays through Thursdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mihm's is closed on Mondays. You can call at 732-291-0711 or visit on the Web at www.waltermihmssteakhouse.com.

Inside Collection (Textbook): Basic Mathematics Review
Summary: This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr. This chapter contains many examples of arithmetic techniques that are used directly or indirectly in algebra. Since the chapter is intended as a review, the problem-solving techniques are presented without being developed. Therefore, no work space is provided, nor does the chapter contain all of the pedagogical features of the text. As a review, this chapter can be assigned at the discretion of the instructor and can also be a valuable reference tool for the student.
Fractions are one way we can represent parts of whole numbers. Decimal fractions are another way of representing parts of whole numbers.
A decimal fraction is a fraction in which the denominator is a power of 10.
A decimal fraction uses a decimal point to separate whole parts and fractional parts. Whole parts are written to the left of the decimal point and fractional parts are written to the right of the decimal point. Just as each digit in a whole number has a particular value, so do the digits in decimal positions.
The following numbers are decimal fractions.
To add or subtract decimal fractions,
Find each sum or difference.
To multiply decimals,
Find the following products.
To divide a decimal by a nonzero decimal,
Find the following quotients.
Check by multiplying and This will show that we have obtained the correct result.
We can convert a decimal fraction to a fraction by reading it and then writing the phrase we have just read. As we read the decimal fraction, we note the place value farthest to the right. We may have to reduce the fraction.
Convert each decimal fraction to a fraction.
Convert the following fractions to decimals. If the division is nonterminating, round to 2 decimal places.
This is a complex decimal. The "6" is in the hundredths position. The number is read as "sixteen and one-fourth hundredths."
Now, convert to a decimal.
For the following problems, perform each indicated operation.
For the following problems, convert each decimal fraction to a fraction.
For the following problems, convert each fraction to a decimal fraction. If the decimal form is nonterminating,round to 3 decimal places.

UK CAA catches up with Learmount

…all the way to impact….
By David Learmount on 20 March, 2013 in Uncategorised
Why two pilots on the flightdeck? Because it works? Actually it often doesn't. One of the most frequently-cited examples of the failure of the multi-crew monitoring concept is the Eastern Airlines Lockheed TriStar accident back in 1972. On a night approach to Miami there was a problem with the landing gear indication, and the crew […]
Not so humble: the Pilot Monitoring
By David Learmount on 19 March, 2013 in Uncategorised
The "pilot not flying" (PNF) is not such a humble role, according to developing wisdom. Even when it's being carried out by the copilot. Besides which, PNF is now out of favour as a role description, replaced by PM (pilot monitoring). In the USA the latter has been common currency for a while, but it […]

Sarasota aviation unit video recognized at conference
ORLANDO -- The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit was awarded third place in the FLIR Vision Awards presented at the Airborne Law Enforcement Association annual conference.
FLIR Vision Awards are presented annually to airborne law enforcement teams with the best video of a rescue, apprehension or surveillance mission.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office video was chosen from more than 40 entries. It showed the pursuit and capture of five suspects in a jewelry store robbery Nov. 6, 2012. The footage showed the suspects scatter near PGT and Interstate 75 after they bailed from their vehicle.
The Air-1 crew of Deputy/Pilot Dave Bouffard and Deputy/Pilot Brent Wineka guided deputies toward the suspects hiding in the lake and warned them of potential hazards, including alligators.
The Aviation Unit includes four pilots and seven tactical flight officers.
As part of the award, a $1,000 donation is made on behalf of the Aviation Unit to the charitable organization of its choice, which is the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches.

A 37-year-old man already on probation for stealing credit cards to rent hotel rooms was behind bars again in Laguna Beach today on suspicion of similar offenses.
Harold Eric Larson of Orange was arrested about 4 p.m. Thursday and booked on suspicion of burglary, grand theft, misrepresentation of a credit card holder, possession of a controlled substance, identity theft with a prior conviction and violating probation, Laguna Beach police Capt. Jason Kravetz said.
He was being held in the Laguna Beach jail pending a transfer to Orange County jail, where he will be held without bail because he allegedly violated his probation, Kravetz added.
Larson allegedly stole credit card numbers through open Wi-Fi networks with a laptop computer as consumers purchased items in shops, Kravetz said. He sits nearby with a laptop and collects the information from people who are simply purchasing items or accessing their credit card or checking accounts.
He allegedly rented a room at the Montage Resort last Friday, Dec. 21, with a stolen credit card number, Kravetz said.
The fraud was discovered two days later when the credit card holder saw a $2,134 bill, Kravetz said.
Larson left the Montage before police were alerted and allegedly used someone else's credit card to rent a room at the Laguna Cliffs Inn on Christmas Eve, Kravetz said.
On Wednesday, Laguna Beach police responded to a call at the Laguna Cliffs Inn about drug usage in one of the rooms and arrested Edward Richard York, 40, of Tustin, on suspicion of drug-related offenses, Kravetz said. During their investigation, police learned the room was rented with a stolen credit card number from Larson, Kravetz said.
Larson was arrested in April on 23 felony counts of fraud and theft after he was caught using stolen credit card numbers to rent rooms in Laguna Beach,
according to Kravetz.
Larson pleaded guilty May 11 to seven counts each of second-degree burglary, fraudulent use of a credit card and identity theft, all felonies, according to court records. He also pleaded guilty to a felony count of possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor count of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle.
Larson was sentenced to a year in jail and three years of formal probation.
According to Laguna Beach Police, Larson is also accused of similar credit card fraud incidents in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.

At last night's budget workshop, the following matters were discussed:
Animal Control
- Police Chief Joel Hurliman reported that $123,893 was requested for animal control in Shelton, and Mayor Mark A. Lauretti recommended $119,759 be allocated. Hurliman said he had "no specific qualms" about that amount.
Police Department
- The requested a $6.7 million budget, an increase from last fiscal year's $6.5 million.
- "One thing I would not like to see cut would be personnel," said Hurliman. There are currently 50 officers sworn in, but the department would like to have 62.
- "When we're down on the headcount, while salary costs might be lower, overtime costs build up," Hurliman said.
- Hurliman said the department's main objectives are: increasing the force, upgrading the radio system, purchasing new cars and repairing emergency lights.
- Director Elspeth Lydon said she is concerned about the inventory of books available at both and libraries: "The business of library is books [...] When you cut the book line, it really puts question marks in the minds of people."
- Lydon also said Lauretti cut the library's full time salary budget by $10,000 and that the Assistant Director position has been vacant since October 2008 because "the mayor doesn't want to fill it."
- Lydon also said one thing she "will not compromise on" is the amount of money allocated to part-time salaries. She and Huntington Branch Director Shawn Fields reported that Shelton's part-time library staff is paid much less compared to those in surrounding towns. Fields said he would like to reward part-time employees with raises.
Highways & Bridges
- A&T Vice Chairman Jimmy Tickey said in an e-mail that four full-time jobs and salaries are being funded, but no one is actually filling those positions.

"A delicious New Year's Eve recipe to bring you luck in the new year! I sometimes just use the ham bone and some of the surrounding meat from the traditional Christmas ham that I make each year, but the ham hocks also add a nice, smokey, rustic flavor of their own."

- Place the black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
- In a large stock pot over medium heat, cook and stir onion and garlic in olive oil until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and 8 cups water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in soaked black-eyed peas, ham hocks, tomatoes, pepperoncini, bay leaf, garlic powder, thyme, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, ham meat is falling off the bones, and the broth is thickened, about 3 hours.

1. The pepperocinis are those (very mild) yellow peppers that you often get whole on top of Greek salads... they will not make this dish spicy, but add a very special flavor to it. I would not reccommend leaving them out. You can find them at any grocery store - they are in jar near where you find the olives. If you would like the peas to be spicy, by all means add some other peppers or even some cajun seasoning. 2. The ham hocks that are called for do not offer any meat to be eaten - they serve the purpose of flavoring the peas. If you would like chunks of meat in the peas, use another type of ham as well as the hocks (as the flavor that the bones and skin impart are the signature flavor of traditional southern black-eyed peas) 3. If you would like less liquid in the peas, or a thicker sauce, reduce the water by half and/or add a tablespoon of flour to the sauteed onion to make a sort of paste before adding the liquids.
I cut the water back to 2 cups and the chicken stock back to 4 cups. 10 cups less liquid than the recipe calls for! But it is delicious and my 10 year old even likes it. I also added a ham steak all cubed up, and some Cajun seasoning. Two extra pepperoncini. Will definitely be making this one again.

My first attempt at Black eyed peas and hamhocks. I followed closely, but did not have the peppers or bay leaf. I baked overnight in the crockpot on Low. These were soooo good. Great Flavor!!! Will make again!

In late May, the 2013 Providence softball team has a chance to do something no other Pioneer squad has ever done: Win back-to-back sectional titles.
Last year, Providence won its second sectional title ever. Pioneers' coach Sean Payne believes he has the talent to achieve history this season.
"We've talked about it as a team," Payne said. "I've told the girls we have a chance to do what no Providence team has ever done. It would be something for our girls to hang their hat on, something for our senior class to be remembered for."
"That's definitely something we're striving for," Providence senior Meredith Endris said. "I think we have good potential this year to go far."
Despite losing five seniors from last year's team, Providence may have better overall talent this year.
"This is the most talented team that we've had since I've been running the show at Providence," Payne said.
With some incoming freshmen who have been playing softball all their lives and with several returning starters and part-time players returning from last year's title team, the Pioneers may have more total softball experience aboard in 2013.
"It doesn't concern me because players are filling the roles," Payne said of losing five seniors. "We have several players who started for us at times last year and played big roles on the team. They have a lot of experience."
"We're really probably more experienced than we were the last few years, and everybody got better over the last year working hard in the offseason," Endris said. "Everybody was out on the field all the time."
Not only are the Pioneers a hard-working team, but they always enjoy playing as a unit.
"One reason why I think this team will have success is they love the game, and you can tell they enjoy being around each other," Payne said. "It's refreshing to see."
The Pioneers beat Paoli 6-4 in last year's Class 2A Crawford County Sectional championship. It's likely Providence will have to go through the Rams and cross-town rival Clarksville to win consecutive crowns.
Providence will go to Clarksville on Tuesday.
"They're in the same town as us — it's a big rivalry," Pioneer senior Morgan Boone said. "They're always a tough team to face. Knowing that we could face them again in the sectional motivates our team a lot."
"Our sectional's going to be tough," Payne admitted. "Clarksville, Paoli and Henryville are all improved. There are better teams in our sectional this year. But I feel like we can get the job done is we do what we feel we can do."
The best way to prepare his Pioneers is by forcing them to play a tough schedule.
With no conference, Providence can schedule who it wants and Payne has chosen to play New Albany, Jeffersonville, Floyd Central, Madison, Charlestown and Silver Creek in Indiana and Jeffersontown, Sacred Heart and in the Southern Spring Bash in Kentucky.
"We've tested them early," Payne said. "Last year, [former News and Tribune sports editor] Matt Koesters asked me if I was crazy to put them through the schedule I've put them through. This year, it's even stronger. Since we don't have a conference, it's the best way I know to get them ready [for the tournament]. It's been a really challenging schedule, but we've played well in every game we've played."
"We play a really tough schedule," Boone said. "We get to face a lot of teams not from around here. Some better competition helps prepare us for the sectional."
Alli Webster, Charlestown
On Thursday, April 4, Webster gave up just one run and struck out 10 Corydon Central batters in five innings as Charlestown prevailed 12-1. She then tossed a one-hit shutout as the Pirates defeated the host Pioneers to win the Providence Invitational last weekend.
• Caroline Cato, Floyd Central: Cato combined with Blake Dykes in a 13-0 win over Clarksville last Friday. On Tuesday, Cato held New Albany to a single run on five hits and 11 strikeouts in the Highlanders' 2-1 triumph over the rival Bulldogs.
• Ali Sparkman, Clarksville: Sparkman went 3-for-4 with two triples, two runs scored and two RBIs as the Generals defeated Crawford County on Tuesday, April 2.
• Olivia Scarbrough, Silver Creek: Scarbrough had a double and three RBIs as the Dragons won at Madison 10-2 on Saturday.
• Kayleigh Thomas, Jeffersonville: Thomas gave up just two hits and stuck out four Mustangs in the Red Devils' 8-1 win over New Washington on Wednesday.
• Kassie King, Floyd Central: King surrendered just one run on four hits and struck out eight Olympians as the Highlanders defeated Columbus East on Thursday, April 4, 7-1.
• McKenzie Bush, Silver Creek: Bush went 3-for-4 and was the winning pitcher in the Dragons' 10-6 victory over Seymour on April 4.

Managing Editor of Features
---- — Jazz saxophonist and vocalist Lance Bryant and his band bring the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to life for the fourth year in a row in a performance at the Sahara Club in Methuen.
With his spirituality and uncompromising demand for change, King made an impact on America and eventually the entire world. His strong belief in the principles of his faith both informed and fueled King to press on through the struggle for civil rights.
King's quest ended abruptly at 6:01 p.m., April 4, 1968, when he was struck down by a sniper's bullet. James Earl Ray was convicted of the murder.
As King and his followers worked for their cause, jazz musicians of the time found their strength and voices of protest through their spiritual heritage. They took the traditional structures of their art form and transformed them into a new expression that is considered by many to be the soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement.
The set-list at the Sahara Club will feature jazz arrangements of spirituals, as well as great classics of the jazz cannon from the 1950s and 1960s, musically speaking out for racial and social justice.
Led by Bryant, the band will feature renowned jazz artists including pianist George W Russell Jr., drummer Ron Savage, and bassist David Clark, with additional vocalists Brigette A. Bryant and Caylen Bryant.
Lance Bryant is the former musical director and arranger for the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. He has toured and recorded extensively with peers including Abdulah Ibrahim, Wallace Roney, Jon Hendricks and James Williams.
More recently, Bryant's music has become a strategic blend of his gospel and jazz roots, culminating in his Christian Jazz recordings. He teaches, performs in jazz venues locally and is minister of music at Andover Baptist Church.
If You Go What: Lance Bryant and band's tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When: 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22. Where: The Sahara Club is located at 34 Bates St., Methuen. How: Tickets are $10.

The Joplin Globe
JOPLIN, Mo. —
In memory of Fannun Ahmed Kanan
Fannun A. Kanan died on Feb. 5, 2013, at the age of 84 years.
Mr. Kanan was born June 30, 1928, in Bethlehem, Palestine. In early 1956, Mr. Kanan came to the United States as a refugee sponsored by Rev. Thurman Kelly from Joplin, Mo. Rev. Kelly initially met Mr. Kanan during a visit to the Holy Land.
On Feb. 14, 1956, Mr. Kanan arrived in Joplin, where he resided for the remainder of his life. On Dec. 2, 1956, he married Elma who was his sweetheart and best friend for more than 56 years.
Mr. Kanan worked at Big Brothers before he went into the hospitality industry. For over four decades, he was a real estate developer who promoted the Joplin community and the four states area bringing businesses and creating jobs. He was on the Board of Directors for Commerce Bank as well as the Board of Directors for Ozark Health Center, which is part of the Freeman Healthcare System.
Fannun Kanan was proud to be an American citizen and deeply grateful for the freedom and opportunity in this country to become the best that you can be for yourself and others. He was a devout Muslim who cultivated understanding, respect and friendships across people of all religions and cultures.
He was known as "Uncle Fannun" to countless numbers of children who he performed magic tricks for and motivated them to believe in themselves. He introduced the joy of fishing and hunting to many young people who remember the experience as a life lesson; he was a great teacher.
Mr. Kanan was a philanthropist who supported education, healthcare and religious freedom. Through his generosity, several families, children and students benefited in this country and overseas. He was a humanitarian who helped so many people make their dreams come true. He changed the world, which is truly a better place because of his leadership, inspiration, kindness and humor.
Fannun Kanan is survived by this wife, Elma Kanan; a son, Raaji Kanan; a daughter, Renee Kanan; as well as two granddaughters and three sisters, who still live overseas.
A memorial service will be held at the Holiday Inn in Joplin, on March 2, between 2 and 4 p.m. Please join us in honoring and celebrating the life of Fannun Ahmed Kanan.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. -- Two men, charged in connection with killing Ben Graessle, appeared in Rockingham County General District Court on Friday. You can read the full story of that shooting here: Late Night Murder Has Police Searching For Answers
Dallas Chaplin is charged with first degree murder and using a gun in a felony. He's being held at the Rockingham County Jail, but on Friday, he told the judge he wants to move to Middle River Regional Jail to be closer to family. That change would be up to the county's sheriff.
Givi Dudunia is also charged in the case with being an accessory after the fact of a homicide and an accessory in using a gun in a felony. A judge denied Dudunia bond on Friday.
Police said they believe they've found the gun used to kill Graessle at Dudunia's home in Staunton.

Planning and Zoning Board delays Moore's recommendation
Date: September 15, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board delayed a recommendation to the Town Commission on owner Alan Moore's request to change Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant & Marina, 800 Broadway, to a residential site.
Moore says he won't be able to renegotiate his business's double-digit interest-rate loans that are due in January if the planning board doesn't move his request along to the commission next month.
Also at its regular meeting, the planning board:
• A request by Ringling College of Art and Design to delay a site-plan application for the Longboat Key Center for the Arts. The issuance of a building permit will be extended to June 30, 2012.
• A site-plan amendment for The Longboat Key Club Moorings Marina, 2800 Harbourside Drive, to allow for the addition of 13 parking spaces.
• Suggestions put together by town staff that depict different types of welcome signs that can be placed at the island's north and south ends as part of a $500,000 grant awarded as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The planning board's suggestions will be forwarded to the Town Commission for review at its Thursday, Sept. 24 regular workshop.
For more information on Moore's request, pick up a copy of the Thursday, Sept. 17 Longboat Observer.

- It is hard for me to believe that Moore's request would be denied after an election demonstrated citizens of the island supported Moore's request. I guess the planning board is not interested in citizens' opinions about the key. Maybe we need to look at whose opinions should count.

BLUEFIELD, Va. —
William McGuire thinks he knows the key to Graham's hopes of capturing a Group 2A state golf championship.
"I think the tournament is going to be won from 3 down," said McGuire, a Graham senior. "Jacob (Britton) and I, if we play our game, I don't believe there is a team up there that have four scores as solid as ours can be."
Add Graham's top two players — Ben Ramsey and Zach Toohey — and McGuire feels like the G-Men have a change to bring home the championship when the event is held today and Tuesday at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club in Front Royal, Va.
"I think what we have to do, Ben is going to play his game, Ben is the constant on our team and we are glad for that, he is going to play his game, and like Zach said, if he is focused, Zach's game is strong...," McGuire said. "The top scorer is good on every team...In state golf our top two are going to balance out and we are going to have to win it from 3-down."
Graham last reached the state tournament in 2011, finishing behind champion Galax in a tie with Union for second before settling for third in a playoff.
Both Ramsey and Toohey played that year in Harrisonburg, with Toohey earning all-state recognition with a 73 and 74, and the much-improved Ramsey fired a 78 and 83.
"We do have some experience, but we also have some guys who haven't been there," Graham golf coach Matt Dixon said. "It is like I told them, the region tournament was bigger (in terms of teams) than the state tournament team-wise so it will be tough, but we are excited...
"Golf is golf, you still have to hit the same type of shot and just go up and have a good time and relax and they will be fine."
Toohey still has fond memories of 2011. He's looking to make more.
"I remember coming out on 17 knowing that the guy behind me was a stroke ahead of me," Toohey said. "On 18 I chipped in for birdie and got first first-team all-state and I am trying to do a little bit better than that this year."
Unlike two years ago, or even last year, there will be just four teams and 12 separate individuals who will comprise the 36-player event. That has dropped from eight teams and 72 players.
"We knew going up there a couple of years ago that Galax was clearly the best team up there and then everybody else," said Dixon, whose G-Men will compete against Region 2A-West champion Floyd County, along with Buffalo Gap and Stonewall Jackson. "This year we are all about the same, it is a great opportunity and whoever shows up and handles the conditions well will come out on top."
Dixon is confident in his seven-man team, which includes Ramsey, Toohey McGuire, Britton, along with Travis Simms, Austin Boyce and Dakota Jones, who will serve as an alternate.
"I knew we had two solid golfers in Zach and Ben, who had experience, but we haven't lost a district match in the regular season in two years so these kids as juniors and seniors have put in a lot of hard work," Dixon said. "Those (other) guys really stepped up and helped us depth-wise this year. I wasn't surprised (to be here) because they put in the effort."
Toohey expected the G-Men to still be playing at this point in the season.
"It is a simple as this," he said. "We're a team, we're focused, we made our putts and we did what we needed to do and now we are heading to state."
Britton added, "We have just got to go up there, stay humble and stay confident at the same time. Just go up there and play our game and I think we can do it."
Six players will tee off for Graham today, with the top four scores used to compile a team score. After two days, a team and individual champion will be crowned.
"You have got to realize that golf is an individual game, we are playing a team competition, but you can't worry about what the other teams are doing," Dixon said. "Unlike football and basketball you don't have a whole lot of control of what they are going to do.
"We can only control what we do and we will see what the other teams do."
Among the individuals seeking medalist honors are the Richlands duo of Zach Luttrell and Dylan Sawyers.
"Anytime you have got some conference guys that you know locally you hope you do well," Dixon said. "They are great kids, any kid from Tazewell County, they are all the same, they are all great kids, we come from the same community, we will be rooting for them."
Ramsey won the Region 2A-West individual title, shooting a 72 and then defeating Virginia Tech-bound Amanda Hollandsworth of Floyd County in a playoff. Graham was able to finish second to the Buffaloes in the team competition to qualify for state play, one year after finishing a disappointing sixth in the Region C tournament.
"They have put their heart into working hard and wanting it and losing it gave them more of a drive," Graham assistant coach Ann Lilly said. "They were tasting it, but they didn't know how badly they wanted it and now they know."
Dixon feels like the 'home course' advantage that Graham had at Fincastle for both of the Conference 39 tournament — won by the G-Men — and the Region 2A-West event has prepared them for what lies ahead.
"We don't know anything about (the course), of course it is going to be beautiful country in the Shenandoah Valley," Dixon said. "We know it is a lot flatter course, and we play on Fincastle, which is a very tough course so we feel like we are prepared for everything.
"The kids have played a lot of different courses so we are excited about the trip and excited about the opportunity to represent Graham High School."
While the G-Men will play as individuals, the top four scores will be compiled into a team total, which is fitting for a close-knit collection of friends who started playing on the now-closed Richwood Golf Club.
"The group of people we are playing with right now, there are about five of us that have played together since we were like 11 or 12," Toohey said. "We used to play at Richwood and ever since then we have all been together playing golf."
Lilly, whose husband, Steve Lilly, was Graham's golf coach until Dixon arrived in 2008, thinks that togetherness shows on and off the course.
"They are a great group of young gentlemen and I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of working with them," Lilly said. "Their ability to work together even though it is an individual sport, they all get along so well and interact so well with one another.
"They pull strength from each other. I think that is their biggest benefit, their biggest strength."
That, and the realization that this is it for McGuire, Ramsey, Toohey and Britton, all of whom are seniors hoping to finish their careers on top.
"My senior year, our last chance, this is it, do or die," McGuire said. "I am not planning to play college golf, this will be my competitive hooray here. We are going to go up there and keep our heads still and really make each shot count and play the best we can and have no regrets when we come home...
"We are going to play four teams in state and we are all going to play the best that we can and I think we have a really good shot."
"We are excited, it will be a great trip," added Dixon. "It is a great reward for these kids putting in the hard work in our program and those four seniors that get to go."
At least one member of the G-Men can think of at least one other reason to be excited about a trip to the other half of the state.
"It is always fun to go up there with the team, miss two days of school and not see your teachers and play a little golf," he said, with a smile, "and win us a championship."

Tero Kuittinen, Contributor
I cover mobile hardware, software and gaming.
There are good reasons why AT&T and Verizon have grown increasingly aggressive towards U.S. consumers over the past year: Their lead over smaller carriers has grown sharply in recent years. But the way the two carriers have recently moved in perfect lockstep concerning new pricing strategies may raise regulatory concerns unless challenger operators gain traction soon.
The two behemoths control more than 70% of the American smartphone market, so they can largely dictate how smartphone usage is priced. When Verizon decided to demand that all new smartphone buyers must pay for unlimited voice and unlimited texting, AT&T simply followed suit — basically copying the Verizon pricing strategy. Neither company appears to have any real interest in competing via creating contrasts in their monthly plans or trying out different pricing models. Mimicking your largest rival's pricing model is not an emblem of healthy competition.
The growth in new U.S. mobile subscribers is slowing abruptly. In 2011, about 5 million new mobile subs were added every quarter. In 2012, the quarterly net add average is about 3 million There is a good chance it will drop to below 2 million in 2013. Chasing after new subs may now simply be less attractive than trying to squeeze more juice from current customers.
The past three years have shown that even deep price cuts by T-Mobile and Sprint cannot undermine the AT&T-Verizon smartphone hegemony. And by next Christmas, well over 70% of all handset sales will be smartphones.
And so here we are — another round of new budget deals announced by Metro PCS and T-Mobile was announced this week, yet AT&T and Verizon feel no fear. On the contrary, it's likely that the giants continue plotting new ways to hike smartphone ownership costs. AT&T spent this week defending its wildly unpopular idea to block consumers from using iPhone's FaceTime application unless they move over to the expensive new Mobile Share plan. Verizon is evaluating the first full quarter of its $30 smartphone upgrade surcharge, which was implemented in early summer.
One question increasingly asked in telecom circles is when will the regulators finally grow restless about the way Verizon and AT&T mirror each other when they implement new pricing strategies. Back when AT&T had an iPhone monopoly, its special relationship with Apple gave the US market at least a glazing of real competition. But now that Verizon has the iPhone as well, the two telecom leaders seem not only unwilling to compete against each other. They are flaunting their chumminess by announcing major new pricing initiatives such as eliminating small text-messaging plans within weeks of each other.
Unless Sprint or T-Mobile gain real market share traction over the next winter, the possibility of regulatory intervention is likely to increase sharply.
Don't know about Sprint but T-Mobile isn't going to be able to stay in business unless they improve data service. I have been with then now for about 4 years and when I signed on with them, they were the only company that provided ANY data service in the places where I spend 90% of my time. It wasn't fast ~.1 gbs but at least it was mobile and usable.
Had a long talk with a service rep yesterday and told him flat out that when I went under the 180 day cut off to only have a $100.00 early termination penalty that I would be gone. What is the use of having an unlimited data plan that allows me to tether via hot spot when the best speed I have 90% of the time is .15 gbs??
In the mean time I can get an AT&T Straight talk card and put it in a Dell Streak 5 and get better than 2 gbs about 90% of the time. Yes, it is only 2Gb of data, but at least I have a possibility of actually using all of it.
I also have a Crick Hotspot and it ALWAYS gets better than 1 gbs and where I use it 90% of the time I get the advertised 1.4 gbs speed.
Now the really bad thing for T-Mobile is that when I terminate my current ~$110.00/month plan with them, I am going to get a Straight Talk T-Mobile card and put it in the same phone I got from T-Mobile. No, this won't improve the speed and I will drop from unlimited data to only 2 GB. But I will move from 1000 minutes of talk to unlimited talk for less than half the cost!!
A timely article.
Unfortunately, Sprint's notoriously horrible customer service a few years ago has many afraid to even venture in that realm again. I had their service when they were the only carrier to offer digital service and packaged plans (everyone else was per minute then). They were great. Then they got too big for their britches as the elders say and the customer service was non-existent.
AT&T did the same. Verizon's customer service is barely decent. It is sad that consumers don't demand better.
What can the other smaller carriers do to compete? It seems to me that what the big guys have that the smaller guys do not have is geographic coverage. Even AT&T is behind on this category. I personally opted for Verizon on that issue alone, even though Walmart's Straight Talk is using a subset of Verizon's coverage. That seems foolish until your cell phone has no bars or only has 3G service. AT&T may cover 97% of users, but check the coverage maps of the different cell phone companies. Verizon wins the geographical coverage by a wide margin.
Well, that should be interesting, waiting for regulators to do something. How about hold your breath until regulatory action is taken and we'll ask for "Blue Boy" when you're needed. Shades of 1984, the ghost of AT&T rises. What a true burst of freedom when AT&T was busted up. But it was not regulators. It took a Federal Judge. That's why monopolies are so dangerous. Of course, from the companies point of view, why can't we, the airlines and several other industries have been doing it for years. The Health Insurance Industry has an exemption from being charged as a monopoly.
The issue that TMobile and Sprint and the other competitors isn't pricing, it's coverage. If you don't live inside a major urban center, you might as well not even have a phone from most carriers other than AT&T or Verizon, the coverage is that bad. Until they fill the coverage gap, people will continue to buy and use from the carriers that give them what they need.
Consumers of ATT and Verizon need to get over the prices. Vote with your dollars and move to Tmobile or some other regional phone company. As a consumer if you think that Tmobile does not provide good service for the price, then you know the alternative and the price. Make you choice and live with it. To many people get attached to a name/status symbol. People, they don't care about you just your money. So vote with your money and switch.
Tero, first of all, thank you for stating the obvious in this article.
We are forever in a period of life attached to need—which is forever attached to greed—and to the power of complacency from those we consumers make into monsters—and these are forever attached the nature of more, better, greater.
What is distinctively different during these times is the overt business ethos: shamelessness, complacent, disrespect to consumers. Thank all gods we are not required to take out a mortgage to have phone service.
The excuse—costs for updating their technologies does not justify deliberate bullying, and abusive customer service because these providers know that customers can't afford to turn on immediate silence—absent from technological relevance.
In fact, we who can implement small instances of silence to protest against being bullied, we are so few, we simply amuse those mighty monsters with our efforts against bullying. Oh yes, regulators—ha, ha, ha!
Internet is now vital especially for the disabled (including returning and homeless veterans). Maybe its time to have a Lifeline Internet plan for people on poverty level SSI and VA benefits that will also help force better pricing options for others, without other regulatory fixes. Most schools now require internet use. For people with disabilities it is even more critical now due to masses in need in a your job went to China economy, to have written proofs vs phone calls with these often broken systems so they do give a hand up instead of simply oppress with handouts that exact a price far more than money. I multi disabled was homeless about a decade and the only thing got me out was internet access a prepaid cell and a used car and some legal assist i got to fix some -from about 800 miles away. I'm working on getting things fixed still and its been slow and a few years, but while I had to trade some malnutrition for access, I'd surely be dead now, instead of hopeful to be able to return college full time next year, if it were not for that access.
I want to share about this new service Ting mobile service (mvno) sound like a great option. This bring your own device will sure give a swift kick in the nuts to the big carriers.
You don't "give a swift kick in the nuts to the big carriers" by going prepaid on a service that delivers based on big carriers' towers. Ting is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. It does not own its own spectrum licenses or cell towers. Ting does nothing more than facilitate wireless service at a lower, prepaid price using Sprint's cell towers. While you are paying Ting directly, Sprint STILL gets paid for carrying Ting's customers' activity on Sprint's towers. The only way to beat big carriers is by using a cheaper carrier that has spectrum licenses of its own and deploys its own cell sites. The FCC has enabled the big carriers to take things too far.

Scheduled for release tomorrow: a major re-design of the BoneSmart.org forum.
All the same features you're used to will still be here, but the look will be completely updated to match the rest of the website (Part 1, launched in May). But this update is not just about a new color scheme - it's about making the forum easier to use no matter what device you're on! Whether you're on a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet or a mobile phone - the new design will adjust to fit your screen (this is called "responsive web design"), be easier to read, and easier to navigate.
Yes, major changes like these can be a pain because they make the forum you're familiar with feel unfamiliar. But I hope you will come to appreciate all we've built into this new design. Ultimately we want to make it easier for newbies (even people who have found us yet) and all you BoneSmarties who are the heart and soul of this community. I definitely invite your feedback - good or bad - in Announcements.
Make up your mind, VA! New, new date
