Change is tough to swallow, but necessary to progressPosted Friday, August 17, 2007, at 7:47 PM
By Nick Schneider
In the last few weeks, we've talked about two ideas that have been mulled around and debated for years to save taxpayers money and help this county operate more efficiently.
When that happens, taxpayers -- you and I -- save money in essence.
It's all about change.
The ideas of establishing a county manager position and one centralized school superintendent for the entire county are both ideas filled with change and goes against what has been done in this county for the most part in the past.
Change is always tough to swallow. It's different. In some cases radically different than the way we have done things in the past.
Hiring a county manager makes a lot of sense, if the right person is selected and the position doesn't become a political appointment. For too many years, this county has struggled with making ends meet.
If you don't believe it, come sit in on the county council's budget talks in a couple weeks. It's a struggle to come up with money to provide essential services -- not to mention raises for county employees which haven't happened for a couple of years.
With a county manager, county government can be improved pretty easily from a fiscal perspective.
The county will have to pay this person a salary large enough to attract the right kind of person with the right kind of professional skills to do the job. This person, aside from serving as a central buying agent, will also prove to be invaluable as the first contact in human resources and could complete the initial job applicant process -- again saving elected officeholders time and trouble.
The officeholders should retain the option of doing the final interviews to make sure that the right person is hired and it's someone that they are comfortable with.
In addition, a county manager could handle some of the day-to-day correspondence and grant writing duties that are now handled by attorneys -- and we all know that doing those kinds of things on an hourly rate is not the most economical way to operate.
On the subject of schools and the way this county operates them, discussion of change also needs to take place.
The county has had in past years the position of "County School Superintendent," but for the most part this person served as a truant officer -- especially in the later years before it was phased out and the office -- which was located in the county courthouse -- was closed.
Now might be the time to resurrect that position and grant this person some meaningful administrative duties that will save us all some money and provide us with more funds to help educate our youngsters in the fast-changing world.
The current five school district system in this county with five separate school superintendents and five separate central office staffs is simply something we can't afford anymore with local property taxes skyrocketing through the rooftop.
It's no secret that schools take the biggest chunk of our property tax dollars. By being more efficient, we can make those dollars stretch further and ultimately benefit our children and future generations who are students in our schools.
One central administrative superintendent makes sense from a dollars and sense perspective.
I'm not suggesting an immediate county-wide consolidation of all the school boards into one, but it also might be worth talking about if we are truly wanting to change. I can see a single county school board with equal representation from the current five school boards as being a better way to operate.
I've often heard that you have to be able to change or you'll get left behind. I don't think Greene County can afford to be left behind any more. Things are changing in this county whether we like it or not. Doing things the way they have always been done just might not be the best in the long haul.
Apparently, our readers also think the ideas at least merit some further discussion based on the number of comments received recently on our Web site.
What do you think?
You tell me. I just asking.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
Yes, one has to be able to change, or one will be left behind. But change for the sake of change does not show wisdom or foresight, only wanting to be part of the latest fad. People today have short memories. Perhaps the causes for abandoning 1 county superintendent for 5 no longer apply. I doubt very many people alive today remember what they were. Before changing an existing system they should be identified to see if they no longer are obstacles to consolidation

Think outside the box:
Why not have the county buy or lease a portable asphalt plant and pave the roads in the county themselves? Do a portion of the west, central, and eat every year and get on a 10 year plan to complete the surfacing of all paved roads once a decade. They have the manpower, the mechanics, the trucks. Why not?
Why not have the county merge the county and city police departments and consolidate under one central command (the sherriff) and tax the cities and keep patrols in each area of the county. Add some deputies and get rid of the municipal police officers.
Why not consolidate all the school systems and provide one highschool with a college campus atmosphere and many programs offered, preparing our kids for the future. Include seperate elementary EG, B, L, SC, fewer middle schools, EG and L, and one consolidated high school SC. This eliminates the long bus ride until kids are older. Use the same buses and route drivers just start the middle and highschoolers at 7:30-2:30 and the elementary 8:30-3:30. Do not elmininate teachers but through retirement size appropriately for the students.
Why not eliminate the city fire department and subsidize the volunteer departments similar to what Bloomfield does?
Why not stream line courthouse departments and eliminate jobs, not sure how to do but workload could be reallocated/reassigned and positions eliminated. This is possible.
Why not eliminate workers in the city departments and have the people being subsidized (not disabled persons) by the government do cleaning, maintenance of the parks, lawn care, painting etc... as a condition of receipt of the federal and state subsidy. If they are able. Provide transportation and lunch.
Why not take county funds and prepare a site over the by the river in Bloomfield and lobby the state for a river boat license, and place a river boat on the White River. I would not recomend this but if we are dreaming might as well include this too.

You must not be from the local area. People around here don't want change. They would rather keep things the way they are and have less industry & biz and yet complain about their property taxes being high. Business would help lower property taxes.
Around here they would rather not consolodate schools because they can't get along with their neiboring areas. The thing is, no one knows why, they just know they can't. Consolodation would be better for all the kids and cheaper in the long run for the COUNTY. Their could be more programs for the kids offered. You could actually have a machine shop, auto mechanics & building trades vocational classes. Lets face it, not every kid is going to collage from our GC schools. They need to be taught trades so they can face the world with the same advantage that kids from larger systems come from, ie; Monroe County school system. BTW- One school system and has many more kids involved.
So anyway, good point, but we would rather not advance with most areas. We want to stay status quo and b.... about the cost of taxes and see more of our youth do without better opportunities.

I don't think 1 high school can work in this county. Money wise and population wise it could, but I think this county is to large for one high school. Why not have 2 or 3 school sytems can work, we can keep the high schools as they are or improve them in some way.
-- Posted by meanjean23 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 4:57 PM
I ment why not have 2 or 3 systems? The Vigo county school system has 3 high schools.
-- Posted by meanjean23 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 4:59 PM
The government, at any level, has never saved money by creating a new position that is suppose to save money. If this "county manager" is going to consolidate purchasing, how much is spent in the budgets now. If the "county manager" is going to write grants, how much is spent now. Human resources? Are you kidding me? No one could even touch how much time and money would be spent on that, and would decay the the efficiency of the job.
-- Posted by hilljak on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 9:22 PM
Has anyone actually looked at the proposed job description? I have not taken a look at it, so I don't know what all is possible to avoid paying the going rate for attorneys (at over $100 per hour) to do work that could be handled by someone who doesn't cost that much.
Until I see the job description, I will reserve my opinion on the matter. Perhaps everyone might consider waiting until more information is provided before deciding to reject the notion.
-- Posted by Greenee on Mon, Aug 27, 2007, at 1:31 AM
Job Description or not, we know that the County Manger will need to make at least $85,000 plus expenses, mileage, etc... This is roughly what Jim C. makes as the Courthouse Project Manager now and this job is probably being created for him to help defray the consulting fees during the many years of legal fighting the great people of Greene County will pay as the many law suits for the courthouse continue after project completion hopefully by January 1, 2008 (I will believe it when I see it). The commisioners need Jim's input for many years and this is a way for the county to keep him around without running up the cost of the courthouse any longner. Not that it really matters anyway our great grandkids will probably get it paid off sometime late in their lives.
Sincerely and Regretfully,

With all of the gloom and depression in the news these days, it is easy to write off segments of our population, even here in 'Paradise."
That is often what we do subconsciously with those who have broken the law. Let the courts, law enforcement and jailers deal with them! Many times, however, these "write-offs" are otherwise good people who, due to addictions or mental and emotional disturbances, have simply made bad choices. For those people, there is hope, in the form of Community Corrections, with its new home at the Montrose Justice complex.
The program is highly successful and spectacularly beneficial to not only its clients but more importantly, to the community at large, our home. With a wide spectrum of services, those clients who qualify receive treatment, guidance and encouragement to return to useful and productive lives.

— Finding excuses to NOT go Christmas shopping with the blonde ... or ANYbody ... thing is, after all these years of wedded bliss, it's a good bet she'd rather go alone or with daughter-in-law Susie than hear me mumble about life's unfairness ... besides all that, she flat loves to be out there shopping ... I suspect my "she" is not all that unique among the "shes" ... they start learning when they're babies (thanks to Ed Bruce for that line).
— A whole month of the warmth and delight of the Christmas tree in the corner of the living room ... it is beautiful, thanks to the blonde and a young lady I call "Miss Orange" ... her name is Courtney Noah, she's family ... and more good news is we do not take the tree down until January ... truth is, I'd be in favor of leaving it up for the entire year ... or at least until July 4.
A SMOKED turkey breast and a spiral-cut ham on the table Christmas Eve ... for some reason, even married to a lady who could keep Buckingham Palace guessing, the menu never varies ... hey, I'm not complaining, it's merely a commentary.
— Wishing the three grandsons who no longer call Saks home were small again and roaring in the door on Christmas Eve with loud "We here, Poppa, We here!! Let's open presents, OK Poppa!!" ... the memory is priceless.
— A quiet Christmas morning sitting beside the tree with just the blonde ... opening our gifts to each other ... thing is she's the best gift of my life ... and the sharing of a quiet visit after "the night before" is a time for that appreciation ... and maybe, just maybe, around the cup of eggnog there may be a quiet "Merry Christmas" and a "I love you" or two.
WONDERING whatever happened to my all-time favorite Christmas commercial ... Santa Claus riding down a snowy slope with a Norelco razor as his sled ... with thousands of Christmas commercials over the years, I have no idea why that one hangs in my mind ... maybe it's because I never did believe reindeer could fly, but Santa on a Norelco razor is believable.
— The lights of Quintard and Noble Street ... truth is neither is as lovely as in past years ... several blocks of Quintard have no lights, a number of buildings on Noble have no lights, either ... I once felt Norman Rockwell would have loved to paint Noble, but not now ... I have no idea what's happened and, in the spirit of Christmas, I don't want to know ... I'll check on it in the new year.
— Christmas carols on the stereo ... my favorite will always be "Silent Night" ... on a lighter note it's one of two ... "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" or "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus Last Night" ... probably the latter ... been there, done that ... and whatever happened to "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" ... No. 1 worst.
DRINKING eggnog ... it's the only time of the year I do that ... truth is I really don't like the stuff ... but I do believe in tradition.
— Colors ... red's the boss with ol' Santa's uniform the leader ... green is next with the trees and the wreaths hung just about everywhere ... white is a staple in just about everything.
— The lights of homes along my path ... tinkling of bells ... and those Salvation Army people who forever do good work, especially at Christmas.
— Wishing I could call old buddies and just say "Merry Christmas" and "I love you." ... this year, I've lost three who were very, very special in my life ...
May God bless ... and loosen your belt a notch and try to get some rest when this day is done.
George Smith cannot be reached today ... but he does wish you a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year."

Bargains and busts in 2013 NFL free agency
Nothing can be decided in the NFL until teams take the field in September, of course, but often contenders are separated from pretenders during the span from the start of free agency until the close of the draft.
We'll hit that portion of the calendar on March 12, when the free-agent market opens. From there, teams will have about six and a half weeks to get their houses in order before the three-day NFL Draft.
The teams that contend consistently do their best work in this approaching window. And those that attack free agency most competently know that the trick is not simply to spend, but to spend well.
So, which players will wind up paying off as smart acquisitions this offseason and which will lead to buyer's remorse? A look at 10 potential bargains and 10 possible busts from this year's free-agent class:
Victor Butler, OLB: With the Cowboys sliding to a 4-3 defense, the pass-rushing Butler was an odd man out, and that might be another team's gain. The 25-year-old Butler has been just a backup thus far — the 300 snaps he saw action on in 2012 marked a career high — but there is reason to believe he could handle a starting gig.
Brad Jones, LB: Jones, like the rest of the Packers' defense, probably was at his worst in the playoff loss to San Francisco. Still, he started 10 regular-season games for Green Bay in 2012 and finished with 77 tackles (third-most on the team). Jones also graded out as the Packers' fifth-best defensive player last season on Pro Football Focus. Jones is versatile enough to be valuable in just about any scheme.
Israel Idonije, DE: At 32, Idonije delivered 7.5 sacks in his eighth season with the Bears — and did so on a tidy $2.5 million contract. "He's done a number of good things and had a number of good games both outside and inside," Chicago GM Phil Emery said during the combine.
Fred Davis, TE: Coming off an Achilles injury, Davis may wind up back in Washington. But in a league that increasingly values productive tight ends, Davis could be a nice, affordable signing for a team willing to roll the dice. He had a 59-catch, 796-yard season in 2011, while playing just 12 games. If Davis can stay on the field, he'll put up numbers.
Josh Cribbs, WR: Cribbs finished third in the league in kickoff-return yardage last season and caught a mere seven passes, so maybe he's strictly a special teams player now. I still think there's more in the tank elsewhere — and if Cribbs lands with a team creative enough to incorporate him into the offense, he's still young enough (29) and athletic enough to hit a few home runs.
Sammie Lee Hill, DT: While all the focus on the Lions' D-line fell on Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and others, Hill quietly went about his business for the past four seasons. He really thrived in the previous three, after shifting to more of a part-time role following a 2009 in which he started as an overmatched rookie. Any team needing some interior line help would be wise to consider the 331-pounder.
Greg Toler, CB: Toler was a top-15 cornerback in coverage last season, according to Pro Football Focus, ranking three spots ahead of teammate Patrick Peterson. Of course, Toler played only 308 snaps and missed all of 2011 with an ACL injury, so he would constitute a gamble as a starting CB. But, if his play is any indication, a worthy one.
Corey Lynch, S: The Chargers signed Lynch away from Tampa Bay prior to 2012 looking for little more than depth at safety and some special-teams help. Lynch provided that, then delivered steady play as a starter late in the season after Atari Bigby fell with an injury.
Mike DeVito, DE: You could make a case that aside from a healthy Darrelle Revis, DeVito has been the Jets' most consistent defender for the past four seasons or so. Capable of playing in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defense, DeVito should find a home as a starter.
Donald Thomas, G: The Patriots will miss Thomas if he leaves — he stepped in and started seven games last season, after fighting for his roster spot during camp. He's an athletic interior lineman, so he might appeal to teams that utilize some zone-read principles.
Andre Smith, OT: Smith was my first pick in SI's Free-Agent Mock Draft earlier this week, so I don't exactly anticipate his performance falling off a cliff next season. But teams must be wary of a player who carries questions about his conditioning and work ethic, then shines in a contract year.
Jermon Bushrod, OT: A Pro Bowl tackle in 2011 and 16-game starter each of the past three seasons, Bushrod has developed into a very solid tackle. The problem is he might be looking for top-tackle money — and he would be hard-pressed to repay that kind of investment.
LaRon Landry, S: Not only did Landry somewhat surprisingly make it through 2012 without missing a game, but also he managed to notch a Pro Bowl bid. How confident will teams be that either situation will repeat itself? Landry reportedly wants $6 million per year on his new contract, which would put him among the top six or seven highest-paid safeties.
Michael Turner, RB: This all depends on the level of commitment made to Turner by his new team. If he winds up with a role suiting his current skill set — i.e. a part-time back capable of grinding out some short yardage — then he won't warrant a spot on this list. Any team hoping against hope that he's capable of carrying the load as a No. 1 back will be disappointed.
John Abraham, DE: Another veteran ex-Falcon … and Abraham's situation is not dissimilar to Turner's. Abraham, who will be 35 in May, led the Falcons with 10 sacks and 38 QB hurries, both strong numbers. So, it's a bit of a red flag that they cut him anyway, despite a rather reasonable $4.25 million salary. Abraham can still produce but, like Turner, will only be worth the cost in the right situation — for him, one that lets him pass rush while seeing limited action on first and second downs.
Sean Smith, CB: The potential is there for Smith to be a shut-down cornerback in this league. We even get to see that level of performance from time to time, like when Smith picked off two passes in a Week 4 matchup against Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals. Why he's here, though, is that Smith frequently falls into bouts of inconsistent play, and that won't pair well with the lucrative deal he's sure to get.
Bryant McKinnie, OT: McKinnie lost his starting job in Baltimore back in training camp and only regained it in time for that magical playoff run. The 33-year-old veteran certainly deserves kudos for stepping up in crunch time. That said, McKinnie was benched prior to that for a reason, and he's on the downside of his long career.
Mike Wallace, WR: It's understandable to have major questions about Wallace, who, on paper, probably is the jewel of this free-agent class. That standing combined with a plethora of teams in need of a No. 1 receiver means Wallace will get paid. He often appeared unmotivated last season, though, so what will his mindset be once he cashes in a monster paycheck?
Aqib Talib, CB: Talib played an integral role for the Patriots late last season, and his postseason injury clearly helped lead to the team's demise. Talib, 27, revitalized his career after arriving in New England. But he still has a lot of off-field issues on his resume for a player that likely will command a hefty deal.
Charles Woodson, DB: How much does Woodson have left in the tank? Based on his play in an injury-plagued 2012, not much. Woodson needs to be willing to take on a reduced role in 2013 and any team that signs him must accentuate his strengths. Otherwise, Woodson's career could have a very disheartening final chapter.
McKinnie got benched b/c he was in "John Harbaugh's dog house," not b/c he couldn't play. He's a great tackle and showed his worth in the playoffs. As a Ravens fan, I hope they bring him back but he offers a lot of upside and at 33 can comand a multi-year deal and be domiant for the span of it.
He's one of the largest reasons (pun) that Baltimore won the Super Bowl.
How is it that Aqib Talib "revitalized" his CAREER by playing in New England for a few months? Little bit of stretch just because a player goes and plays in New England and looks above average in a terrible pass defence? Talib went from the worst pass defence to the next to worst thath is NOT a CAREER revitalizing move. He has injury and off-field issues another thing teams will look at.
@Hotbite If you're a Steelers' fan, it's odd to say that your're glad to see him leaving PIttsburgh. In 4 years he has 4000 yards receiving, a 17.2 per catch average, and 32 TDs. He was understandably annoyed last season when the Steelers gave a huge 6 yr $43 Million contract to Antonio Brown. Please note that Wallace's stats were superior to Brown's in every important category. (Receptions, Yards, TDs, Avg. per catch). Why does Brown get the huge contract? Why did Wallace have to play under a (well below market) tender offer of approx $2.7 Million in 2012? The Steelers gave big money to the lesser productive WR, and pissed off the more productive WR. Now they will likely lose Wallace and keep the expensive and less productive Brown.
The whole situation stunk, and was unfair for Wallace. The Steelers managed the situation very poorly. Let's see who has better stats in 2013, Brown or Wallace.
@kylepellerin24 AMEN MY BROTHER! Thought that comment was super-ridiculous as well.
YOU DON'T HOLD OUT AGAINST ROONEY'S... "Reagan didn't negioate with Terrorist and the Rooneys don't talk to a player who holds out." It sucks to see Wallace leave but that is his own doing not the steelers. Brown was rewarded for all his work, voted team mvp in 2011. I don't blame Wallace for taking the money... but I have 2 reasons that it make it easier to deal with: 1) Plaxico Burress 2) Santonia Holmes .... both left... both werent' missed.
@John4 I can see your argument but I have to disagree. Wallace had a very good 2011 season. But to hold out and say he wants "Larry Fitzgerald money" was totally insane. Larry Fitzgerald he is not. Not even close. He drops too many balls and like I said, the guy can't get his feet down. I'm amazed that he never developed in that regard. Besides, Brown and Wallace had very similar numbers in 2011...Wallace averaged .4 yards more per catch...hardly "superior", especially considering Wallace was their deep ball threat. I just think we can do better for a lot cheaper than what he's going to get paid. But you're right, we will have to wait and see who has the better stats next season.
It's not odd, you must not watch steeler's games. Mike Wallace put the least amount of effort possible into catching the ball the past two seasons. No one i know wants him back. I would have trouble bringing him in on a team at league minimum. i don't care what his stats are, he gave up plenty of catches that a good receiver would of made. Watching the Super Bowl with the Giants receivers going up and making catches to help win the game made Wallace look that much worse.
@JDubs JDibs - maybe the Rooneys could change a little with the times. We are talking about a WR who has over 4000 yards in his first 4 seasons. Maybe the Steelers did not offer enough. Maybe Wallace was (justifiably) pissed when he got the $2.7 Mill one year tender,and WR Brown, (a younger teammate) got a 6 yr $43 Million contract. Note also that Wallace has outperformed Brown every year they were both on the team. Maybe the Rooneys could have increased their initial offer to Wallace at the expense of possibly losing Brown in Free Agency. (As it is, the Steelers will be retaining the less productive WR, and losing the more productive WR in Free Agency). Maybe the Rooneys might want to learn a few new tricks, as they will lose their top WR with their current tactics, and strengthen another team (who signs Wallace) in 2013. The Steelers aren't the only game in town. Maybe their tender offer (which was WAY below market) was the last straw for Wallace. We'll see how this plays out in 2013. JDubs - note also, no disrespect to you, just the facts. Peace.
@JDubs @John4 Amen, JDubs! And according to recent reports, Wallace is going to sign for $11 million with the Dolphins. Umm...I would have much rather taken the $10 million Pittsburgh offered him during the holdout than play for the Dolphins for not much more. Now, what he does sign for might be different than what the reports are, obviously. But I would take a lot less in pay to be a Steeler. We can replace our receivers (as you mentioned) just like we replace our linebackers when they leave.
@mraincmm m rain - so when the Steelers could not reach an agreement with their top receiver they screwed him with the tender offer. The tender paid him $2.7 Million for the season when Wallace's market value was at least 3 times that. Since no agreement could be reached, the Steelers were justified in screwing Wallace? Is that what you're saying? If you Google the negotiations, you see that the Steelers and Wallace were far apart, but interestingly not far apart from what Wallace will get in free agency. So the Steelers cheaped out with their negotiations then screwed Wallace when they could not find an agreement. Nice effing going, Steelers.
@mraincmm If you are right, which you're not, then Wallace has nothing to complain about. However, you're not right. Fitzgerald signed for 8 years and $128.5 million. The Steelers offered Wallace 4 years at $42 million, which he declined. $10+ million per year on average is a lot of money but it's not $16+ million a year. And because Wallace turned it down, they gave it to Brown. Feel free to go check those facts.
@Hotbite Hotbite and MarkReed, you both get points for your opinion and politeness. No disrespect to either of you, but I believe the Steelers would have been better served giving the large contract to Wallace.
The NFL is a results driven league. Wallace outperformed Brown, but got a much worse (by comparison) contract for his efforts.
Of course time will tell.
Peace out.
@MarkReed It is odd. I do watch Steelers' games. Note also that in 2011 Wallace's stats were better than Brown's. (72 catches, 1193 yards, 8 TDs) compared to 69, 1108 and 2). Then in 2012, after Brown signs the massive contract that should have been given to Wallace, Brown was outperformed AGAIN by Wallace. (64, 836, 8 TDs for Wallace, compared to 66, 787 and 5 TDs for Brown). (It seems as if the large contract made Brown a bit complacent). What would you do if you were Wallace? Outperform a guy every season they both are in the league, and then watch him get a contract with an annual average of $7,166,000 per year while being forced to play on a contract tender of $2,700,000 for 2012. Wallace outperforms a younger teammate on the field, but is paid roughly ONE THIRD of the salary of the guy you outperform. How does that work, and much more importantly, why should Wallace give more effort to the Steelers than they show him? "Hey Wallace, another WR on the team, one who you outperform every year will be getting a contract for MUCH more than you will be getting, but we still expect your best effort. We don't appreciate you as much as we appreciate a lesser player, but still, we expect your best on the field." Huh?

Through satellites and the Internet we are able to communicate with anyone, anywhere in the entire world. One cannot help but be awed by our application of technology in everyday life. I frequently talk to my dad through his satellite phone, over thousand miles away on the tip of Baja. In our last visit, he was alone on the beach watching a school of porpoises while I was on a five-lane super highway surrounded by metal, concrete, and hundreds of thousands of humans; but we could talk as if he was right in the back seat of the car. As our population has grown, so has our knowledge of what the earth has to offer. The days when the world was unmapped and unknown, epitomized by such books as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's, Lost World, have been replaced by national parks and "ecotourism" adventures in the form of guided treks, luxury cruises, and documentaries. It seems that little is left to be discovered in the natural world.
I believe one large exception to this statement is the world of plants. The Incans were an amazing people. Surprisingly sophisticated as well as equally mysterious, this society reached its height at about the turn of the 16th century only to disappear forever. They made use of over two thousand different plant species for spiritual and medicinal purposes; foraging habitats ranging from the Andean Pampas to the lush Amazonian Lowlands. Today, pharmaceutical companies only utilize between 70 and 80 plant species for the many drugs that we use in our everyday life. Contemplating the medical potential of plants in a place like the Amazon is very optimistic, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru alone are estimated to harbor over 45,000 plant species. The Neotropics (new-world tropics) are thought to contain about twice this amount.
Thanks to the Pinhead Institute I am spending this summer under the guidance of tropical botanist, Dr. John Janovec. I had never envisioned myself as a botanist, but I am undoubtedly intrigued by the taxonomic, geographic, and morphological characteristics of the bryophytes and vascular plants that make up the unparalleled Amazon River Basin. I have been at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) for five days and the work I have done here has been very interesting. The process of creating a herbarium like they have here at BRIT is no walk in the park. BRIT occupies a moderately sized two-story building. Both stories are mainly open floors and rows of cabinets dominate the entire length of the building. These cabinets are bursting at the seams with specimens from around the world. The plant specimens are arranged by family and genus. Inside the cabinets, one will find a wide array of plant species that have been nicely mounted on a sheet of poster board with a label and barcode that can tell you many things about where the specimen was found and in what conditions it was growing. It was surprising to see the thousands of different of just a few hundred plant families. My time here at BRIT has been spent organizing over a thousand new specimens that recently arrived from Peru and were awaiting organization. By the time I left BRIT I had barely completed the first steps of organizing these plants.
The plants enter the herbarium in large stacks of newspaper, between which are the pressed specimens. On the paper are the plant's assigned genus number and the collector's initials. Organizing these new additions to the herbarium takes quite a bit of time and effort, the perfect job for a new intern. The specimens must first be organized by name and number. Once this initial organization, an inventory must be taken of the initials, number, and number of duplicates. Then I printed labels for all the specimens and returned to the stacks to fasten the labels to each individual specimen and its duplicate. This was a slow and tedious process, but to open the newspapers and see just a tiny glimpse of the amazing diversity that exits in the Amazon, was extraordinarily remarkable and made the time pass easily for me. My work ended at that step, however, the plants had to be furthered processed before they could be filed away for future reference. These specimens will all be entered into the digital herbarium database and mounted nicely; duplicates will be separated and sent to different specialists for specie diagnosis or invention. This is a process that will not be complete for months and before it is all over, a new shipment will arrive. The BRIT staff is lucky to be moving into a bigger building.
The first week of my internship is over. On June 24, I will be heading south to the land of the Incas to get a crash course in tropical botany. I am very, very excited to return to Peru and increase my knowledge of science and Spanish while exploring the Amazon. In my opinion it seems there is no one better to do this with than John Janovec, a hyper red-bearded botanist that is going to open my eyes to the plants of the majestic Amazon. I would like to thank Ramona and the entire Pinhead board of directors for making this learning experience possible. It is going to be a wild time.

First off, it works as advertised and is an improvement over the last model. Having said that, it will certainly be improved with a better version next Christmas. I bought the i-need Neck And Shoulder Massager last year and liked it, but wanted improvements they made in the new Neck & Shoulder Sport Massager with Heat. It is a huge improvement and should be used as a template for what this shiastu should become.
The new rotating nodes are the way to go. I have no criticism of the massage it gives. It's really good on the neck and up and down the back. The neck Shiastu almost puts me to sleep! The heat feature is also the right amount of heat, not too much like the new Sport model (and the nodes light up when the heat's on!). It just doesn't hit me in the right spot on the shoulders. The new Sport Massager gets it right with variable node distance. This unit is frankly too light or not balanced, If you let go of the hand straps it falls right off your shoulders. The Sport Massager has a good balance and weight to keep it situated just right. The Sport Massager has great straps that are a good length, this Shiastu's straps are hard to grasp and too short. The other place for improvement is variable speed. I think having the option to slow the node speeds would be nice, and also how quickly they reverse direction. Quicker reversal at a faster speed would definitely give a more vigorous massage.
I bought the extended warranty, because honestly, it does feel a little flimsy. That's just a feeling, my unit is working perfectly right now, maybe because it's so light that I worry about the durability of the motors. It has a zipper on the bottom and I can't figure out why.
Again, I have no complaints on the way it works, it works well and gives just about the best Shiastu massage I've had in a portable unit and you can't beat the price. There is room for improvement and I look forward to the next version!

Purchased this product today after spending time in the Brookstone store and testing a variety of models. It worked excellent in the store and I was excited to get home and try it. Everything was working as expected for nearly 30 seconds and then stopped working. It wouldn't turn back on, so I proceeded to unplug it, wait a minute, and plug it back in. After pressing the on button a couple times it finally turned back on. Again it worked for a couple seconds and stopped. This happened for the next 15 minutes or so.
It was very discouraging and I will be returning it back to the store tomorrow. For the price, I did not expect this issue straight out of the box. Hopefully it was just a bad model and not an issue with their product. Either way, it's unlikely I will be exchanging for a new one.

Every night my husband wants me to rub his neck, shoulders and back before he goes to sleep. I hate doing it because my hands and wrists ache. I've bought him dozens of massagers over the past 25 years, but he's never liked any of them. I even bought him a $3000 massage chair for Christmas, but he returned it for a TV because it "didn't really hit the muscles right". This is the first massager that has actually replaced me! Hallelujah!

Click on the image to download the brochure "AKF Synthesis on Savings Groups – Beyond Financial Services", which includes Case Studies
(PDF, 968KB) AKF Synthesis on Savings Groups – Beyond Financial Services summarises the findings of a Learning Initiative carried out by the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) with support from The MasterCard Foundation, to study the integration of Savings Groups and other developmental activities.
The Other Activities (OAs) include:
- training provided to group members (separate from training for financial activities);
- products or services offered; cash or in-kind; linkages between the SG and service providers including financial institutions;
- creation of federations or networks of SGs;
- or any other product or activity in addition to the core financial activities of the SG (internal saving, borrowing, and insurance).
The Learning Initiative examined how Savings Groups are leveraged for other development activities, how linkages to other services take place, and the associated costs, benefits and risks to group members. This paper summarises the findings and conclusions of the Learning Initiative regarding the sustainability of Savings Groups and of the Other Activities, as well as the residual value or benefits of the Other Activities that may persist after the intervention ends. It explores the internal and contextual factors that influence sustainability, replicability and outcomes. Finally, it concludes with some preliminary thoughts about good practice and some areas where further research would be useful. It is hoped that the findings of the Learning Initiative will assist facilitating and funding agencies in considering how Savings Groups can be effectively leveraged to contribute to the achievement of their developmental goals.
Savings Groups, as discussed here, are time-bound, distributing Accumulating Savings and Credit Associations that distribute their assets to the members at the end of regular cycles, and then begin again. Savings Groups are widely believed to be a safe method for people to provide financial services to themselves, and one that is generally much less expensive per person reached than other approaches to providing financial services. Savings Groups often serve people who would not otherwise have access to a safe way to save, or a convenient place to borrow.
A Savings Group can be reliably trained in eight to 12 months through a series of visits from a trainer, usually someone based in the community where the groups are located. Trainers generally work under the supervision of Facilitating Agencies (FAs) whose role is not to provide financial services, but to facilitate the Savings Groupsin learning to provide the core financial services of saving and lending to their members.
The recognition that Savings Groups reach large numbers of people often living in remote rural areas, and do so in a low-cost, sustainable fashion, is creating growing interest in leveraging Savings Groups to achieve other developmental aims. FAs are increasingly introducing a variety of Other Activities to Savings Groups.
This has created some concern that the Other Activities may put members' savings at risk or divert members from the core financial activities of the Savings Groups.
Under the Learning Initiative, AKF researchers conducted a number of studies, either through field research or desk reviews, to learn from experiences to date and understand the potential to achieve broader developmental objectives by adding-on other activities. While eleven studies were completed, this paper draws on findings from nine studies focusing only on studies of Savings Groups combined with Other Activities. However, because Savings Groups are frequently compared with the large Self-Help Group movement concentrated in India, AKF also commissioned a comparative analysis of Savings Groups and Self-Help Groups to understand the similarities and differences between the two models and to situate Savings Groups within the context of other community based movements. The eleventh study was from India examining the experience of a private sector consumer goods company sourcing sales agents through Self-Help Groups. This study was excluded from the synthesis as an extreme outlier, in that the relationship between the private sector firm and the Self-Help Groups was very short-lived and tangential.

Nicely spice, not overrich – I enjoyed the Singapore chicken. It was nicely spiced and the sauce wasn't over-oily like in a lot of Asian restaurants. The broccoli was lightly steamed, nice and crisp, served au naturelle. The ambiance was very basic. My only complaint was that, for a restaurant that touts itself as being healthy, they did not offer brown rice as an option, only white.
HORRIBLE PHO!!! – This has to be the worst PHO i've ever had in MY LIFE, and I am VIETNAMESE. The quality of the materials they use is outrageously nasty. I can't believe people even go to this place. It is a disgrace to the name of PHO. By the way, make sure you order a drink because their water tastes like sewage.
delicious and addictive – This place is the best !
The service is fast and kind.
The red sauce is HHHHOTTTT but good,
the price is fair and I could eat there every day.
Try the PHO number Four.

Lady Saints Run by Montevallo, Pick up First Conference Win
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia women's tennis team snapped their eight-match losing streak on Wednesday afternoon as they raced past Montevallo 9-0 in Peach Belt Conference action at the North Georgia Tennis Complex.
The Lady Saints (6-9, 1-3 PBC) picked up their first conference win of the season, while Montevallo (6-11, 0-7 PBC) lost their fifth straight match.
North Georgia has now won their last three matches against the Falcons, with all three of those victories coming without dropping a single point.
The Lady Saints came out of the gates hot, sweeping doubles action for the fifth time this season. Natalia Escobar and Juliana Moscoco-Chiang outlasted their opponents at No. 1 Doubles winning 8-1, while Audrey Marlette and Jordan Poole cruised to an 8-1 victory at No. 2 doubles. The duo of Nela Handac and Maria V Casseres Romero won their match at No. 3 doubles by default.
In singles action, the Lady Saints took five matches in straight sets. Handac had her best performance in conference play, winning her match 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5 singles to clinch the victory.
Marlette found herself in a battle in the last match of the day, taking on Stevens at No. 3 singles, but the sophomore pulled away to win the opening set 7-5, before cruising to a 6-2 victory in the second match to seal the 9-0 victory over the Falcons.
The Lady Saints return to the courts tomorrow, March 29, when they host Columbus State in Peach Belt Conference action. First serve is slated for 2:00 p.m. at the North Georgia Tennis Complex.

Country Oatmeal Bread
This recipe is featured at Dine & Dish.
This recipe makes 2 loaves
|Active Dry Yeast
|4+1/2 tsp
|3/4 cup
|Melted butter or oil
|2 cups
|2 tsp
|Quick oats
|1 cup
|Bread Flour
|3 cups
|Whole Wheat Flour
|3 cups
|Quick oats for topping
1. In large bowl combine Active Dry Yeast, water (110-115°F) and sugar; let stand 10 minutes.
2. Stir in butter, milk (110-115°F), salt, oats and all purpose flour; beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining whole wheat flour to make dough easy to handle.
3. On lightly floured surface, turn out dough; knead until dough is smooth, elastic, about 10 minutes.
4. Place dough in greased bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
5. Grease two 9 x 5 x 2-inch pans; set aside.
6. Punch down dough and turn out on lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
7. Shape into loaves. Place in prepared pans. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush the loaf lightly with water and sprinkle with water and sprinkle oats over top.
8. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake loaves 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe. Visit our Lessons in Yeast & Baking for more information.
Tasty, hearty
A great basic recipe! The mix of white and whole wheat flour keeps it from being too dense and "healthy" tasting, but it really is wholesome. I even used all purpose flour instead of bread flour, and it turned out just fine. I'd make this again.
