For the Times West Virginian
The problem with playing a bad football team is that, in the aftermath of the victory, it is so difficult to analyze what you just saw.
That, of course, is what the West Virginia coaching staff was going through on much of Sunday in the glow of a 41-7 triumph over Georgia State, a first-year Division 1-A school that just is not yet ready for prime time.
With that said, caution flags are being hoisted everywhere over the seeming progress that was made on the offensive side of the ball, from the emergence of freshman Ford Childress at quarterback to the depth that came forth at wide receiver to even an offensive line that found its identity with Pat Eger at center.
This is not to be taken as meaning what transpired before 57,440 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium on Saturday afternoon was either meaningless or useless, for it was neither.
"It was good to see someone make a play ... a single play," offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said in the aftermath of that seven-point inburst against Oklahoma.
What was shown was a capability to make such plays, that you had a quarterback who was raw yet one with a certain flair and with the kind of arm that can pull off some of the same kind of throws Geno Smith made a year and two years ago.
Coach Dana Holgorsen had maintained when he came to WVU that you didn't need a rifle of an arm to succeed in his offense; what this season has shown to date is that there really is no substitute for the God-given gifts of ability.
"Ford stood in the pocket good. He missed some passes that could have set up a really good game," said Dawson in a telling statement.
To begin with, it is telling in that it showed Childress and Co. really were only scratching the surface in what is expected and that scoring 41 points, throwing three TDs and passing for 327 yards isn't even considered a "really good game."
This is crucial to accept because, as the year moves forward, the competition gets tougher.
This coming weekend it is a regional rival in Maryland, a team grooming itself to move to the Big 10 next season and improved enough to be unbeaten at present and carrying a chip on its shoulder for WVU, a team that has knocked it around for most of the past decade.
Following that you move into the heart of the Big 12 schedule with Oklahoma State, probably the conference's best team, coming to Morgantown, so there is an urgency that Childress and the offense grow and mature quickly.
In actuality, the offense did seem to grow during the Georgia State game.
"I thought the second half we started to play with a little energy," said Holgorsen. "We've kind of been focused on that all week of just getting guys out there that are positive with their body language and positive with their energy, and I thought we improved on that."
That came with a growth in confidence, for these players who had not had any success playing with each other were discovering things about each other on every play.
"It was a frustrating game overall offensively, in my opinion," Dawson said. "For some reason or another, we spit and sputter and drop balls or let a guy come through a gap untouched. Statistically, we ended up putting some things together to win the game. I guess that's a positive."
Surely it is, as is the stride made in putting together an offense with diverse weapons.
It appears now that there is the makings of a passing attack — someone to throw and others to catch — to go with talented runners like Charles Sims and Dreamius Smith.
If Holgorsen can create a balanced attack, one in which there are both deep threats and screen passes, one where on third and four it isn't guaranteed the ball will be thrown, it will make the burden of having a freshman quarterback less troublesome.
This is crucial, for, as unlikely as this was to have been said coming off last season, it appears the Mountaineers' defense is good enough that the offense doesn't have to score 50 points to win, as it did a year ago.

In all the debate about the greenspace in Walsall, and the approach of our civic leaders towards this valuable asset, one comment made by a reader here stuck in many minds. I personally found it jarring, and somewhat misguided.

As they piled back into the sport utility vehicle after a day touring Fort Benning, AJ McCarron and Kevin Norwood clutched the same books to their chests: the Bible and "The Purpose Driven Life."
The two former Alabama football players grabbed copies of each as they walked into a supply room during Monday's tour.
They spoke Monday night at the spring meeting of the Russell-Muscogee Chapter of the University of Alabama Alumni and Friends at the Green Island Country Club.
Each took the books for the same reason: They wanted to feel closer to the soldiers.
For McCarron, he hoped it would allow him to relate, on some level, to the soldiers and the challenges they face.
"They read them and it helps them, so I always try to learn from different walks of life," he said. "Everybody has a thing that helps them on their way, so it definitely means a lot when you get to meet other people and see what path they've taken."
That many of these soldiers were the same age -- or younger -- than themselves was a sobering realization.
"I couldn't imagine myself doing this because of the intense work ethic they have," said Norwood, who is 24 years old. "When we came in, they showed us a chart of how many push ups and sit ups they have to do. And they have to do it in a certain amount of time. I'm not sure I could do that. You just have to be in really good shape."
Norwood had once considered going into the military. As soon as his athletic career began to blossom, particularly in football, those thoughts disappeared. But his appreciation for those in the armed forces has never faded.
If anything, it's only continued to grow as he's gotten older.
"They've got to be prepared, day in and day out, for whatever happens. The world could end tomorrow, and they're prepared. They're ready to save lives -- to save us," Norwood said. "As far as football, we just have to prepare for a game. I wouldn't say that's nothing, but it's less than what they do."
McCarron felt the same way. Still, he couldn't help but notice some irony during his interactions throughout the day. Whenever he struck up conversation with the troops, they were quick to compare their daily regimen to the structured nature of football.
"It's the same thing with them," McCarron said. "They have so much practice and repetition they go through leading up to a battle. (But) when you mess up, there's no coming back. There's no 'redo.'"
It didn't take much to get McCarron and Norwood to be on board for Monday's visit. Norwood received an email asking if he'd be interested in participating.
He couldn't respond quickly enough.
"I was like, 'Sure. Why not?'" he said. "It's a privilege to be here and meet the soldiers."
McCarron first heard about it from Brandon Gibson, another former member of the Crimson Tide who tagged along Monday. Then another person reached out to McCarron on Twitter to gauge his interest in speaking to the troops.
After signing numerous autographs and posing for countless pictures, some might say McCarron and Norwood did their part in giving back. But Alabama's former quarterback said the opposite was true.
The visit reminded him to count his blessings amd strengthened his admiration for those who protect the freedoms he enjoys every day.
"Some of them are just kids. They're so young. And at such a young age, they're so brave," he said. "It definitely helps you put everything in perspective and makes you thankful for everything God not only grants you in life but everything they fight for."

Becky Kendall Gordon has been named director of development at the Springer Opera House.
Gordon, currently senior vice president of the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce, is in charge of community and member services. Under her leadership, she is responsible for such programs as Leadership Columbus, Youth Leadership, Inter-City Leadership Conference, the annual golf tournament, volunteer relations, community development and membership recruitment and fundraising.
As a child, she was often on the Springer stage, often with her brother, Billy Kendall. Their late mother, Margaret Kendall, was president of the Springer Children's Theater board and often made costumes at the theater.
"I can't wait," Gordon said. "I tell people I'm going home" about her new job.
She graduated from Florida State University in 1976, majoring in theater and dance. She moved to New York City to pursue a career as a professional actor.
She returned to Columbus 25 years ago and worked in the healthcare industry before moving to the Chamber 10 years ago.
Gordon, 59, replaces Cameron Bean, who recently took a position as development director for the San Jose (Calif.) Repertory Theatre.
"He's going to be hard to replace, so I'm not going to attempt that," she said.
Gordon leaves the Chamber next Wednesday, and will go to the beach to relax before starting work at the Springer on Oct. 7.
"I'm extremely excited," she said. "I'm nervous, but I'm more excited than nervous. I'm looking forward to working with Paul (Pierce) and Ron (Anderson) and everyone at the Springer."
She said she may even audition for roles after a 40-something absence from the Springer stage.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - 'Tis the season for spending time with family and friends. However, health leaders want you to stay healthy during holiday gatherings.
The Fayette County Health Department has confirmed three cases of the flu so far this season in Lexington. That's down from this time last year. However, health leaders say they normally see an increase in flu cases around Christmastime because many people attend parties and family gatherings where germs are easily spread. They say to try not to get to close to others.
"If people are sick and they're sharing food with one another, they're in close quarters, you know, you do have the tendency to share food with others, so definitely try to stay off in an enclosed area if people are coming to your house," Greg Hiler, with the Fayette County Health Department, tells us.
Health leaders say to prevent the spread of flu, wash your hands frequently and get a flu shot if you haven't had one yet this season.

The Cullman Times
For Cullman-Walker to truly be considered a rivalry, at least during coach John Holladay's tenure, the Vikings probably need to win more than once every six years.
Since Holladay took over Walker's football program in 2007, the Vikings have only conquered the Bearcats a single time, a 24-14 decision in 2010. Other than that lone outcome in Walker's favor, the recent series has produced victory after victory for the Black and Gold, some lopsided — 26-7 in '06, 35-7 in '07 and 42-14 in Week 1 this season — and one nail-biter — a 17-14 thriller on a last-second field goal from Collin Glasscock in 2011.
Holladay acknowledged Wednesday night in a phone interview with The Times that Cullman has been his kryptonite, but he couldn't initially put his finger on why.
"I don't know. I wish I did," the coach said. "They've got our number. They've just owned us."
Given a bit more time to think, Holladay eventually credited most of his struggles to the Bearcat coaching staff, which consists of two coordinators and 10 assistants led by 12th-year head coach Mark Britton. He said the Black and Gold's intricate schemes and gameplans can be pretty difficult to manage against.
The Vikings enter this week's second-round showdown versus Cullman as overwhelming underdogs based on their season-opening loss to the Bearcats. The score was tied 14-14 after three quarters of play in that contest before Cullman went off for 28 points in the last 12 minutes to crush Walker.
Holladay would much rather see tonight's score be closer to last year's Thursday-night barn burner with the Cats than suffer another blowout like they did to kick off the 2012 campaign.
"We don't want to be on the other end of another 42-14 spanking," he said.
Holladay said he'd like to think the Vikings are a whole lot better than they were nearly three months ago. According to the coach, his offensive line has improved greatly throughout the season.
Walker will have a different kid behind center than it did in August. Lefty freshman Bryant Atkins has been an exceptional replacement for junior Blake Wilkes, who suffered a season-ending broken thumb in a 14-0 loss to Russellville back in Week 5.
Seeing how freshman handle playoff pressure can be nerveracking for any coach, but any questions Holladay might've had about Atkins were answered during last Friday's 30-7 romp over Central Tuscaloosa.
"He's done a good job leading the offense, and he has a playoff game under his belt," the coach said. "After this amount of time, he's really not a freshman anymore."
Although the series has leaned heavily toward Cullman over the last six years, the rivalry has been extremely close since it began in 1920. The Vikings hold the slightest of advantages with a 33-32-2 mark.
Holladay didn't have to think very hard about why a Cullman-Walker game means so much to both teams and fanbases.
"From schools to towns to color schemes, we're just very similar," he said. "Both schools have winning traditions and good players. It's been a good rivalry. I would like to think both of us have respect for each other."

The two finalists to become the EKU Center for the Arts' executive director differ in age and personality, but both have strong records in arts-venue management that have impressed those who met and interviewed them.
The second of the two finalists, Bruce Marquis, was in Richmond on Thursday to interview with the search committee, tour the facility and meet local leaders.
The center's community board hopes to announce the new director at its monthly meeting 3 p.m. Wednesday, said Chair Harry Moberly.
Like Joel Aalberts, who was in town Tuesday, Marquis' résumé includes management of university-related performing arts centers.
While in Lincoln, Neb., Marquis said he led an effort which increased University of Nebraska students' attendance and involvement in the school's performing arts center by 30 percent.
He now runs his own arts management firm, Marquis Arts Consultants, offering "strategic, artistic, branding and audience development planning services to nonprofit cultural organizations."
Marquis also has been executive director of the performing arts center at the University of Northern Iowa.
By coincidence, his consulting firm is based in Bloomington, Ill., where Aalberts directs a 1,200-seat performing arts center.
The success of facilities such as the EKU Center depends on serving and cultivating their diverse base of stakeholders, Marquis said. Those include state and local governments, the university and the business, industrial and tourism sectors as well as ticket purchasers and others.
While the EKU Center may be different with a board that represents the university and three local governments, most performing arts centers rely on public-private partnerships for their success, he said.
Providing services and incentives to business and industry are important ways of developing their support in addition to asking for their philanthropy, Marquis said. Conferences and shows for employees are examples of that.
At one venue he managed, Marquis said he secured a $50,000 grant from the state tourism board to construct an outdoor stage for summer shows.
And he has a record of success in dealing with state legislators, Marquis said.
That will be important to maintain, said Moberly, a former legislator. For each of its first years of operation, the center has received a state subsidy, he pointed out.
State Sen. Jared Carpenter, R-Berea, attended Thursday's luncheon for Marquis at Arlington House. Rep. Rita Smart, D-Richmond, attended Tuesday's luncheon for Aalberts.

The candidates for state house Districts 57 and 59 participated in a forum at East Windsor High School Friday night.
Sponsored by the Student Government Association and the Social Studies Department of the high school, the candidates answered questions they were given in advance. Andrew Masters, social studies department head, said the issues were given to the candidates in advance so they had time to prepare their answers.
In the first round, District 59 candidates incumbent State Rep. David Kiner, a Democrat, and challenger Joseph Bosco, a Republican, described their contrasting views on questions. After redistricting, District 59 will now include about one third of East Windsor in its boundaries.
Kiner said he is running for re-election because he was raised in a house where there is a commitment to public service. He said he wants to go back to Hartford and be a voice for Enfield and East Windsor.
Bosco said the hardest thing about running for the seat is he respects Kiner and considers him a friend. But he chose to run for state representative because he thinks things
are going terribly wrong in state government, with taxes being too high and too much spending.
When asked about how the state and local government collects revenue, Kiner said municipalities have been too reliant on property taxes. During the current budget, the state legislature did not cut aid to municipalities and began sharing some sales taxes.
Bosco said you have to look at how you're taxing people. He said as a member of the Enfield Town Council, they were able to pass a budget with no tax increases.
Kiner countered that Enfield was able to do that because the state didn't cut aid to municipalities.
When asked about shared sacrifices in dealing with the state's fiscal woes last year, Kiner said the legislature cut the budget, increased taxes and got concessions from state employees.
"I've said there's no way we could tax our way out of the problem and there's no way we can cut our way out of the problem," Kiner said.
Bosco said it was a myth that the budget was reduced. He said the governor and legislature increased spending.
"I'd have no problem paying more taxes if I knew other people were taking the hit," Bosco said.
In the District 57 portion of the forum, incumbent Christopher Davis, a Republican, and challenger Jason Bowsza, Democrat, spoke of their differing views of the legislature and why the are seeking election to the seat. The district represents East Windsor and Ellingon.
Davis said during his first term he has prided himself on being accessible to residents in East Windsor and Ellington. Davis said the important thing facing the state right now is jobs and that Connecticut hasn't had job growth for 20 years.
Bowsza said during his campaigning he's found that people are tired of the partisanship at the capitol. He said people are hurting, worried about their jobs, how to fee their families and pay their mortgages. He said they need to focus on solutions and not advancing political parties' agendas.
When asked about state and local revenues, Davis said he would like to see a bill that would require the legislature to have a two-thirds majority to approve new taxes or mandates. That would lessen the impact of partisanship, he added. He said he would also like to see sales tax revenue increased to municipalities and reduced for the state.
Bowsza said the property tax structure is unfair to taxpayers, it doesn't reflect on a person's ability to pay or the amount of services they receive. Until the legislature has a serious discussion about that, nothing will change, he said. Until then municipalities have two options, reduce spending or increase taxes, which all have done.
When asked about shared sacrifices on solving the state's problems, Davis said the people who saw sacrifices were taxpayers who saw their taxes increases. He said he thinks there are four areas the state should invest in: public education; public safety; public transportation and public health. Everything else should be subject to some reductions, he said.
"I've always supported reducing taxes instead of increasing spending," Davis said.
Bowsza said he thinks the state needs to reduce its debt service. He said the state should limit bonding to school buildings, roads and infrastructure and water safety. He said legislators should be open to each other's proposals and work together.
"You can't build a budget on one shot revenues and irresponsible cuts," Bowsza said.
When asked about job growth and keeping businesses in Connecticut, Davis said he had been personally effected by the job market when he was downsized a month before his wedding. He said the company he worked for moved his job to another state. Becoming business friendly and do that by reducing the cost of doing business.
Bowsza said he would introduce a bill that would give grants to small businesses seeking to expand as long as they keep and create jobs in Connecticut. If they are willing to invest in Connecticut then Connecticut would willing to invest in them.

Collection for Disposal Program
Never put a container of sharps in with your recyclables. SHARPS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE and not only can they pose an infection risk to workers at the recycling facility, they can render the whole batch of recyclables unusable. Used needles and other sharps should never be placed loosely in your trash or flushed down the toilet.
The preferred method for the management of used needles and other sharps is to collect them in a sharps container and take them to a local collection program or send them to a commercial medical waste disposal company for disposal. There are many commercially available mail-back programs available, as well as local medical waste disposal companies that you can contract with to pick up and dispose of these wastes for you.
At this time, there are three local collection programs that accept sharps from households. One program is at the Mesa County Household Hazardous Waste facility near Grand Junction and is available to residents of Mesa County. Another program is in Larimer County and is available to residents of Larimer County. The third program is in El Paso County and is available to residents of El Paso and Teller counties. If you are a resident of one of these counties and would like more information, contact your local county government or visit their website.
Mail-back disposal systems may be available at your local pharmacy or through your health care provider. Mail-back systems generally include a sharps container, packaging materials and pre-paid shipping. Be sure to follow the instructions included with the kit. A list of mail-back programs is provided in the Household Medical Waste Compliance Bulletin.
Most commercial medical waste service providers accept properly sealed sharps containers purchased from a pharmacy or medical supplier. They do not accept other types of containers used to contain needles and other sharps.

These procedures are intended for used needles and other sharps from a household only.

Detuned not to upset the TT owners! Sounds familiar. They originally detuned the first S3 from 225 to 210 as not to upset the new TT owners.
I bet this doesn't ever happen
would love to have one if they did do it though!
Yeah but it would have to be worthy of the RS badge. Just sticking the TT-RS engine into an S3 shell and sticking an RS badge on just wont cut it. I want to see flared arches and RS wheels.
Just wait for the S3 Vs RS3 thread!
omg by the time a rs3 comes out petrol will no longer power cars
red to red black to black blue to bits
If I'm being honest, I was a little underwhelmed by that spec. The weight of all that quattro metal will probably make the RS3 feel ordinary... hopefully Audi will leave some room for tuners to step in and make the RS3 the car that it should have been (if it ever gets made that is)
Im almost certain it will be released. Now the TTRS is coming out its almost guaranteed.
340bhp from a 5cyl 2.5 Turbo engine standard....not bad. its going to be an RS4/5 eater easily with a few tweaks.
2003 Audi S3 + Go faster bits
im sure if it does go into production it wont be just thrown together, however been optimistic isn't always a good thing to be
Just wait till backdraft, mtm or dpm come up with a big turbo kit for it..... 500bhp anyone?? lol.
Agreed an RS3 would be pretty special (thats providing it gets all the right bits buckets, flared arches etc) but 38k or there abouts gets you a lot of car especially used.... M3 csl and plenty of change, Porsche 911 (996) turbo & 40k gets you a used aston v8 vantage which is what id have personally
Still like to see one though.....
Absolute Red 8L S3 Revo, Hybrid Turbo, 3" downpipe, decat, Ds2500, FMIC 300bhp & 330 lb/ft
........ To Come, Sachs clutch & Fidanza lightened flywheel, BBS CH Reps, AP Coilovers, Rear tie arms & 20mm spacers & eventually MISANO red respray
Bitte leute am Ingolfstadt, please do make it and make it look something like this :
My old car.. Still miss the lil rocket :-)
Remapped Stage II - Forge FMIC - Dahlb�ck Intake - K&N - DieselGeek ShortShift - Phenolic - Powerflex Dogbone - Rial Daytona Race 8.5x18" ET30 - Forge Tiebars - Bilstein B8 - H&R 25mm - R32 rear ARB - H&R 20mm Spacers - EBC Discs - Red Stuff pads
I'd have one. Though i don't think there will ever be one. You're better off making your own using an 8P S3 with some nice mods!

Unmet Challenges for an Aging America
Negative images of aging and entitlements fights obscure the growing need for major societal shifts.
If you look at the major public issues and stories of our times, the only two likely to involve older Americans are the intractable battles over Social Security, Medicare, and other senior benefits, and the general awareness that a lot of us are getting older and approaching a period of life typified by chronic illness, frailty, and Alzheimer's. The most prevalent stereotype of aging: It sucks to be old, dude.
[See Attractive and Functional Design Solutions for Aging Homeowners.]
Within that portion of the communications, research, and policy-making landscape that focuses on aging, however, the story has long been much different. The image of older Americans here is of an increasingly vibrant group of longer-lived people. They are setting off on an expanded journey that can bring them tremendously rich experiences, new careers, and an extremely high quality of life well into their 80s and even 90s. They will be living in age-friendly communities with great mass transit and universal-design homes tailored for older occupants.
To date, however, these visions of the future have yet to make a meaningful impact on broader political, business, and social leaders. Yet anyone north of 50 should hope that aging becomes as much the talk of the day as economic growth, the environment, repairing the nation's infrastructure, immigration, and other significant issues.
One place where aging has been front and center is the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. On a regular basis, senior issues have been the subject of hearings overseen by committee chair Herb Kohl, a Democrat from Wisconsin who is not running for re-election. Often, there are few, if any, other committee members at these hearings, and Kohl listens to testimony, asks questions, and builds a public record.
The National Academy on an Aging Society sponsored a series of papers commemorating the committee's anniversary. The broadest views on aging were provided by John W. Rowe, the former head of insurance giant Aetna. Rowe is also a medical doctor and has focused on aging issues in recent years, as a professor at Columbia University and as the director of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on an Aging Society.
Rowe's paper bemoaned the focus on negative elements of aging. He also shot down three common perceptions of aging issues he said were just flat wrong:
[See Talking Turkey About Aging and Retirement.]
1. It is all about the baby boom. "Some believe that once the baby boomers pass through the age structure, population aging will be over," Rowe said. "To the contrary, the demographic changes experienced in the last century are permanent."
2. An aging society is all about elders. This view reinforces "the inaccurate view of older people as individuals who do nothing but take resources from younger generations." Aging needs to be seen as affecting all age groups.
3. It is all about Social Security and Medicare. "This commonly held view," Rowe maintains, "tends to drown out all other considerations."
"More important," he adds, "almost no acknowledgment of the substantial positive aspects and potential of an aging society is occurring. This hyper-focus on entitlements to the neglect of the positive aspects of an aging landscape, combined with a related paralysis in policy developments, seems especially acute in the United States compared with other nations."
Society would enjoy a substantial "longevity dividend" if it can better harness longer-lived citizens as contributing members of the workforce and as a growing source of experienced volunteers and problem solvers at all levels of civic life.
[See Looking at Aging with Fresh Eyes.]
One place to start making such shifts, Rowe said, is to develop new sets of economic and social indicators that are responsive to the needs and required changes of an aging society. Regularly measuring and publicizing key aspects of an aging society would raise awareness and help bring aging issues into broader public discussions.
Well before people reach traditional retirement ages, Rowe added, "a reorientation to a life-course preventive health model is needed to strengthen education regarding healthy lifestyles and to implement interventions in at-risk groups" to produce healthier seniors and reduce future healthcare costs.
Already, there are disturbing signs that aging Americans could develop into less-healthy seniors than their parents. Physical impairments in middle age are rising. And while major gains in treating chronic diseases are prolonging life spans, the quality of life in those added years could decline.
Solving Social Security and Medicare won't address the underlying pressures for age-centric workplace, community, and family shifts. "What will failure look like?" Rowe asks. "Rather than a cohesive, equitable, and productive society, what will be left is one rife with intergenerational tensions, characterized by enormous gaps between the haves and the have nots (an increasingly less educated cohort) in quality of life and opportunity, and unable to provide needed goods and services for any of its members—especially a progressively older and more dependent population."

MANKATO — Finding people willing to live at a fire station and devote 10 days a month to being ready to roll whenever volunteer firefighters are needed can be a challenging task for Mankato's Department of Public Safety.
Single men and women have been fulfilling that duty for years at the city's Fire Station 3, where volunteers exchange their services for dorm-style housing. That living arrangement works for younger volunteers, but it loses its popularity as people get older. It's not even an option for married volunteers.
Todd Miller, Department of Public Safety director, said the Fire Department has found a new way to entice people considering service as a volunteer firefighter. When the new Fire Station 3 is built along Augusta Drive near the residential neighborhood north of Home Depot, four townhouses will be built next to it.
Volunteers will be given the option to live in the townhouses at a reduced rent in exchange for an obligation to staff the neighboring fire station 10 to 15 nights per week. Miller said there is already interest in the townhouses, which will be owned by the city, coming from current volunteers. It's not a new idea, but it's not a common method for recruiting volunteers. He's not aware of anything similar in Minnesota.
"I'm not sure where we came up with it," Miller said. "Staffing is an issue everywhere and we've talked to people around the country."
Volunteer firefighters would live in the townhouses, responding to fire calls directly from home. The fire station will be right across the street, so they won't have to stay at the station and away from their families while they are working their overnight shifts.
Miller used Deputy Director Jeff Bengtson as an example of how the townhouses can be an asset for the city. Bengtson, who now leads the fire side of the Department of Public Safety, started his firefighting career by volunteering and living in Fire Station 3 on Pohl Road. He eventually moved out, became a full-time firefighter and started a family.
Other good volunteer firefighters are being lost, though, because they want to go into other careers. They might be willing to stick with the department longer if they can still have a place to live while they start those careers and their families.
"For a long time our resident volunteers have all been single," Miller said. "We said 'Let's provide an opportunity to stay with the department after you're married or want to get out of that type of living situation."
The original plan was to build the new Fire Station 2 at the same time the new downtown Public Safety Center and Fire Station 1 were being built. Miller said a decision was made later to delay the new Fire Station 2 project until the much large downtown project was completed. Staff input was, and is, a requirement for both projects, which translates into hours of research, analysis and meetings.
"I don't think we were prepared to take on two major building projects at one time," Miller said. "I didn't want to stretch the staff too thin."
Bengtson said finding and keeping enough volunteers to provide the staff needed for three fire stations will be required if the city wants to maintain its current ISO rating of 3.
The rating is used to set insurance rates for structures in the city. A Madison Avenue fire station that will be closed after the new one is built is being used to fulfill that requirement now, but that station has been left empty many nights because there aren't enough volunteers to staff it.
One thing that makes the staffing task difficult is it's more important to have fire stations staffed at night than during the day, Bengtson said. Fires are just as likely to start during the day as during the night. However, people are more likely to smell or see smoke and call 911 when they're awake and it's not dark outside. So potential fires are often stopped quickly.
"We try to target our resources to night hours when risks are higher," Bengtson said.
Full studies are done about once every decade to set a city's ISO rating. Ratings are set based on a variety of criteria, including staffing, equipment, the location of fire hydrants and water availability in general. Bengtson said the city has arranged to have its next full ISO study completed after the new station is built.

|Rowland Matches Mark In Shutout Of NCCU
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Junior Casey Rowland matched her career high with 12 strikeouts to lead UNCW to a 4-0 victory over North Carolina Central in collegiate softball action Saturday at Boseman Field.
The Seahawks improved to 9-8 with the victory while the Eagles moved to 0-13 on the campaign.
Rowland's matched both personal and program single-game marks for strikeouts in a game to highlight a solid effort in the circle for the Albany, N.Y., product as she allowed just four hits and one walk in seven innings of work to move her record to 5-3 on the season
Senior Casey Shue was 1-for-3 with three RBI to lead a UNCW lineup that finished with six base hits in the contest. Sophomore Erin Brown was 2-for-3 with a run scored while four players tallied one hit each.
Senior London Germ went 2-for-3 to pace the Eagles at the plate as junior Emerie Germ and freshman Dominque Wilson had the other two base hits for NCCU in the contest.
Wilson took the loss in the circle for the Eagles to move to 0-6 on the season. Wilson allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits and eight walks. She struck out three.
UP NEXT: UNCW and North Carolina Central will complete their three-game series Sunday with a doubleheader beginning at Noon.
HOW IT HAPPENED: UNCW took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, taking advantage of three walks and a run-scoring single by freshman Nella Chamblee to build the early edge.
A bases-loaded walk to senior Casey Shue in the bottom of the second doubled the Seahawks advantage to 2-0, where it would remain until the bottom of the sixth, when Shue singled through the left side with the bases loaded to plate two runs and increase the Seahawks cushion to 4-0 and close out the scoring.
INSIDE THE BOXSCORE: The two teams combined to leave 15 runners on base (UNCW 9, NCCU 6) … Rowland only threw 99 pitches in her complete game effort as she struck out eight different batters during the contest … NCCU moved a runner into scoring position in four straight innings (2nd-5th) while the Seahawks had a runner in scoring position in four of six frames, converting on three of those opportunities … The teams committed one error each in the contest.
NOTES: UNCW increased its lead in the all-time series to 13-1 as it won its third straight against NCCU … UNCW scored a run in the first inning for the ninth straight contest with its run in the first against the Eagles … The Seahawks moved to 7-3 at home this season … UNCW out-hit its opponent for the 10th time this season and moved to 8-2 when doing so … The Seahawks improved to 9-4 this season when scoring three or more runs in a contest … The shutout was the second of the season for the Seahawks and the first of the campaign for Rowland … Freshman Merritt Wilkinson extended her streak of consecutive games of reaching base to eight as the drew three walks in the contest … Shue had her second multiple RBI game of the season with her three RBI output against the Eagles … Rowland matched both her own personal mark for strikeouts in a game, set against Coastal Carolina on April 25, 2012, and that of former hurler Jess Luckett, who fanned 12 against Marist on March 19, 2005.
