Doesn't have to blizzard week you know look this week is like them what. It's been so crazy because everybody's rescheduling from the week we had and really when you think about it the loss of the week is such a big deal. Because like there's so many things that needed to get done and didn't and now here we are and it's. You're catching up so it's it's been a little crazy so fired a course you guys know we're taping on Thursday so. Tracy but all good because the snow is melting. And the whether it was getting beautiful and then of course on Wednesday it was freezing and blowing like you know what. And. And I think hopefully it'll get better well sailing thanks so hope that our the listeners who really I think people it's gone every week. Gave us a little bit of leeway last week because we've recorded everything on the phone. Hunt and even though sound quality is as good as it is somewhere here in the studio. I certainly hope people customer value because there were some man some good stuff that we talked to. He's with a lower back here in the studio everything is back to normal. And here we are concerned do anything really wild and crazy because of the storm. No but I you know I stayed home actually did not leave my house all day Tuesday and all day Wednesday. Did not leave and then. Thursday. Ayman Al for a little what will you and I met we went to we are supposed to come here and we decided to do everything on a fine and we went to scam in which we have been banned in a long time right. The skin was happy to see SC was months and then. Couple things I had to do NN Saturday. I went to us filly to see my sunshine who came in from DC. And we met in Manny out for dinner so that was good to see him. Nice little ride to many young and we had. I think if we talk about we didn't talk like that as I was last week but am I his girlfriend and friend of Terry Danny and Sean. And my iron I had dinner in this great little place called the top couched in May tell. I've been there I love it I love it's okay and what I love is they cater Big Ten too loose and free here. Am PM people who are moved traces of China and yours truly so it was great we had a nice time and we love to go there channel saying mom don't you ever wanna go any well site so now I like to go out there it's okay. Because you know what's good about it is that we. Yeah I can get what I want and that's I think south and it's good and did you get any bad weather are doing now can look good no traffic pulse show. It doesn't snow that was supposed to come on Saturday. Never did and I love and I know what's good business I know they have to track because they were right down about the snow that we mean a couple days before. But they do rush right over the next day when it doesn't happen as though. They never said that the day before I'll say did you ever notice that meaning urology meteorologist twist to. It didn't happen and now I don't know what to do so we'll just pretend I never Tenet and Brett yeah I mean yeah yeah yeah I cared just make you made a mistake irate voice and some girls isn't. Yeah it was interesting to see how they handle all that stuff. I just thought that they did a great job. For us for doing things. Everything they had to be about the blizzards they did a really good job yeah they were great scientists say hey hey who went some teacher wins Sunday Zulu snap but. OK so that was fun but I also think they they were just so overly cautious. Yeah how about everything that they could see that storm comment on Saturday and oh here we go again. Yeah but are and no one wanted it like I know you will I think the will of the worlds are connected over. I mean your just being pushed it right out of here because we just did not want one more ounce snow falling in its. Really enough is enough. Now as far as I'm concerned that snow was enough for the next ten years for me that's out of management came on now that so we don't play eyes please and also then of course Friday night. I had the big society of Irish women dinner we didn't say yes we had to sit. Zero PM Hilton yet and I'm Hilary spoke and she did a beautiful job. She was gracious and wonderful and it was a great and a great night for all the world I think. Mary Claire said their summer around 679. People between two rooms and if you hear snapping in the background. It's because we have a lovely name is Julie Jordan here taking some photographs live shots while we're taping. And some post candid shots are now some co shots she's doing candy now the post should ideally that Julie king imposed candidate I did not and I don't know about what tomorrow and do that. But a yes so but we done our she was there is a wild man am I gonna say Julie met Hillary and did a lot of the. Photographer she was hired by cash bid to the gals the president's Mary Claire Kingsley and Jane strive. And Julie did a wonderful job in the background and I have to tell you though they booted me out. You know I noticed there was something missing in everything gas saw there that evening and I wondered where yeah gore well I got in because I would have no reason to really be there I don't really do anything with the society. Other then. I'm most one of the founding members and a past president but you know twenty years in nineteen years you kind of let other people take over the reins. So there he they had to cater and I understand that they did at the group shot about the gals who go to them weekly meetings and do what they need to do when I get that that's fair. I am so I just wasn't and that you know I wasn't back there right but I didn't I was able to get back SEC gone gone back the Secret Service let me in and I got in and then one of Hillary's acts say their minions this he said ma'am excuse me that you really. Can't be back here we are he had the phone now and grab a black and IKEA OK okay. So I politely she was only doing her job I turned around and I walked the heck out. So I did not get to see here. Closeup in person I didn't meter although I met him before because should be forced the first time she ran she appeared as she had to rally at the Scranton cultural center which is where I worked JoAnne aren't during JoAnne friend Danny was the executive director still and she was there in 2000. Eight I think. And then so anyway I mattered backstage dad and she was just as lovely as she was just wonderful. So but they did a really good job. She did a really good job I thought I was staying with she had a say in doing what she needed to do and it was very very nicely tended and all the guys always staffing and yeah prior to going to the friendly sons dances they know it's better place to be and I didn't EC TV. We did the I wish we were staying here at the women's dinner because it's much more fun. And we have them on tape saying that now they may be just BS saying that to bed it's on tape I guess so I'm but it was it was a great night for our region and you know and kudos to Virginia Macgregor because she did bring her in and I ran into Virginia in church on Sunday and I see you know thanks for that because it was a big you know shot in the arm it and she said it was their first. I know a public appearance since. She ash as Andy says did you really and not enough I Andy's favor she's like. I don't know if I would have been walking in the woods after I lost that election and and she's and so Hillary said to add the inner speech you know I think it's time for me to come out of the woods so she it was it was a good thing in the it was great it was just it's just so neat to see. How are. So close TO and to know what she's been through in her life what she's accomplished like her or not. I don't care. Be doing not ideal but that's being dad aside her accomplishments are unbelievable so it's terrific to beat you know sixty some year old woman and look back and say here are the things. How that I sixteenth. Even something I don't know really sixty something. I was curious about tactics does something late so I want to thank him but she looks great. I'm she did it was a great night and Dunn Julie you can you on the back great night or what job. Historically. I would hate it.

Really can't imagine she says storm red and pink and wouldn't and the woods and no. Maybe she's just too funny he is so nothing is saying. For not into he's PS announcement from whatever. This is very refreshing yeah in a world where though so contrived and so it's funny in a hurry to. About whether this thing is politically correct knowledge and just said late and it and it and that's the beauty of that they should I so I am running under. But I do is and you know Patrick.

It paid out to me. I don't mean you I was (%expletive) yeah might have a good time yeah. Now that's something caddie getting to that Lin was talking before we went on air about. How do you come up with fewer are the flavors and what you're gonna do to put in some of the year I'm tiered cake. The way your demo cakes and the people can see what you can do an end and options they have for weddings or parties or whenever. And your video your debt keeps running on the loop of all those judicial cakes. I am. How do you get then dad and what is your inspiration. For making you need to to say a Y I think. Like I know you do that champagne. Is it orange what do you do with the champagne. Are you mean this campaign came hey Kia and we actually have a I yellow cake that has champagne and it. And then the felling we can do either strawberry era where are your stock letter with orange which the one I got my hands aren't. And yeah it's so good because champagne and aren't you mean it's okay to. Partly hungry after almost a cake and then I think to see it because just could you talk about you can tasting gang is so Scott and I think outbreak at a but in debt so how do you do you play pay attention to like our US food channel nine or do you like should pay attention to any of those things and then order. Today just kind of happens your mind it's a combination of things. Sometimes I'll just be reading your cup book cannot tell sees something very unusual in that not think huh. My gosh I wonder faction translating to a K cannot can't try to develop a recipe. I know with the champagne cake one there was early six so I was at home and I was. Reading these recipes and and all of a sudden I saw this pink champagne cake pops. I thought why residency pink champagne and we can they do we can adapt this to a kick him. So good at sound and also. I like to go through my grandmother's recipes because she just had some great ideas and my mom and Islam are really really good baker took. So come. Cathy kind of their trends is an Anaheim. Again it uses this example but I don't ever expect to see any cake apparently found void that I Cahill good. That's hail on the sun has been liking seafood. And before that and it was coconut then it was there all these things that people started it becomes trendy to have certain foods. Are there certain combinations of things that are trending now in cakes. If people come in and ask you for. Had a really good question I would say. The gas the most recent one would be. They can in the cake with chocolate. Yeah and I did that as a grooms cake. Tony and I'll have to I did not pay us back I didn't tasted. Has not been made in person. I had my my assistants try and I love being taken but let me just tell you one thing getting back to that I wish they would tape Cahill well. And shove it somewhere where I don't want to say I did so I hate it I can't you see him talking about how did it disgusting I let's just it's pretty I like how it looks yeah but it's gross it tastes gross I don't care what you do it's good I do anything to it to make it now I don't care it's a big deal it is you know what let's just lay it out there it's terrible terrible I hate here. He even sing in the words I don't even like given that the publicity I just get RF well. Julie now I've read improperly. Spent format to. And Romaine and and and give lettuce and stuff an end and then green beans and miss you sugar snap peas keep his campaign kick them all equal time right I'll just address me not to forget and don't put Caylee you're okay. And you will EnerNOC salsa karma odd. I had no comment out there. May have its it's been around for a while. While people still ask for that so too now if you would do what Kate cube like actually sprinkled this ultra real NASA is that would assault is Dennis on the tab yes and sometimes. Well. And we offer of about 25 different flavors so. Com and then some people come in with save for their grandmother's recipe for a XYZ and their thing. People from. The South America. I have pastor very specific flavors and very specific showing so it purely depends on on the scene if you're event and and what you're trying to do. And I know this is different I mean gluten free stuff as savvy as is a very hard thing to do in a big win without separating. But I got to begin type K can you do people ever request those or do you don't do those seat him because you feel it's the same thing. They do I just it's just something I haven't seized. Now different and I haven't been able to prefer act. Either that the gluten free I do offer far less chocolate. And non but I haven't really been able to sort through and her friend act. Other flings. It's time and I just don't like the way I consistency you know if you know. Yeah I'm so you're open have people come in and say this is the kind of kick and like to have so it doesn't have to be just the 25 that you have right and I. I think that's absolutely that is important because people like serve that I yeah bacon thing must have been. You know and now it's effort there's a lot of that I think if this all the time for weddings and things there's a lot of ethnic cakes that people want out. I had no rain. I don't know if they feel like well you're just a cake artists and you do whatever you wanna do. I can't I can't bring my grandmother's recipe and but I think that's important for people know that there's so there's so much ethnicity in our area. That people like to hold on of those traditions and you could do a cake and so III probe he cake. Are we truly had you know that the Pentagon only do this. And I loved them yeah yeah yeah the longest jail I guess yeah. I admire Gaza kale I don't care how. Yeah. I was so you can through the play music but anything can. I think I also. Want to ask the question about. I have seen on that little thing we just talked about on your website at all the different things you've made room. And some of them are actually they're more than just to cake there therapies are good hard look I'm thinking and I just wonder how it. How do you decide when somebody brings and whatever it is is it a photo is there's. Three dimensional thing and say can you make this into a cake how do you know whether or not it's really possible to do something like that. Well first of all. And I'm just China's I get inspiration from so many different things like. Went and I was sitting in church and I looked up at the ceiling and I am trying to and I and I saw this beautiful rose on the ceiling so. I I tried to paint her rose on a cake and come from architectural. Details some when people come and we have a long conversation about the event that they're doing and how many people are having him and try to get a feel for the theme in the deck to think core. And whereas or having it and the colors and then. Then we we come up with the design based on everything else that's going on. Sometimes they bring in pictures and I have to say I do not copy other people's designs even if someone brings and a beautiful take a picture of beautiful cake. We will dash. Can change put your spin now Massa yeah. Yeah well I told you before until we said that but that would nice two months for shines cake for its graduation I won and he he to do we minus. I have a me I was his frustration but I'm in the they did bog turtles and she actually make a research what they look like had made them. And I still I want my dining room and I looked in my cap might break from my speech so than those are the things that would be in the Indian take individual ice the cake Israeli made. And I am and the timing did for a friend devised the butterflies remember hours after he had a far. I remember and I. I love doing Mac came thought you guys are my favorite thing yes so. That was viewed gorgeous I'm thinking so heated those are the things I think if you have hopes and you know desires of what you want to bring you to Kathy and and and she can do a trash is a good mind if you have an idea bring it to you never know which is gonna jokes and Kathy how could people get in touch with deal. I'm my website is eat cake first dot com. He's I'm I'm also on FaceBook instead Graham Twitter. Under truly scrumptious Kingston Pennsylvania mosques on FaceBook far you can call me and 570283. Cake.

As associate vice president gore I see this as an assistant size. I have initials and and a branch manager. At the petrol office of fidelity bank can say she's here from. To represent fidelity bank today because they are one of our corporate sponsors. And we're thrown out here this is a freaking me tell she's been I have your marathon. And news things going on and felonies they can't always knew man oh man. The newest thing is our what we call community connections. And and we knew we are banks that is we we hope to be a little bit different. We tried to build relationships. With our customers not just transactions. Coming in and out of the bank. So what we've done is we've tried to find new innovative ways. To give back into the community. So what we came up list. That the official name is called fidelity bank community connections. So each of our ten branches. Has sometimes and each branch has to have four events a year important. Okay and it's after hours so after we closed the bank for you reopen the doors and invite in the community. Not just customers it's free it's open to everyone and we're doing. All kinds of fun things informative things. I got to be the first. Oh so you'll have I did when I came up with was right before Valentine's Day and I did wine tasting with chocolates. I think sub at the time Cooper ranks. Moments so we've had that at some of the other branches we've had the state planning. Everybody needs. You always had. Meet yoga. Beginner class yoga. Later in the month this month will have to Kingston branch is going to do being beaten. Canal plus think OK in the future I have one on how to reduce stress. And we can have some people and we did. Say I beat each AD ING. A nap eating. Sorry non cash. Sorry Sony yeah. I'm going to have kids party classes and copy sampling. And local performers. We also have someone schedule scheduling a golf swing analysis. It was so they'll analyze here's some wind yes. I'm not our thing not a computer complete thing analysis of the thing oh yeah cool so it is all ways to give back to the community there's no selling of checking accounts or mortgages or he. He would use and whether their customer nap an obviously your customers who see it coming in at. Know that they can take advantage of it that's just great for their business as we talked a little bit about this. With Jill wasn't that last month about this starting when you look at that point no one had done anything so you're worried that you I was first. Guinea pig yes. The Kurds and boy you are scary can happen while. But it didn't thought so well received and was gone he's able do I have. Had about 35 people in my small branch which was yes I had and a smaller branch. But how could you say no to wine and chocolate now I know yeah so. We had our day customers have to they were they customary where customers and non customer I'm sad I'm praying and the way we got it out there was we have it's on FaceBook time. We do fliers and I take them out and put him in the grocery store again just get the word out with our businesses. So that there are many of the businesses some of their employees can. So it was a fun night see you play and I do mile once a quarterback wants what what planet so I tried every branch since ten I now so I really don't always timing going on and so would you repeat some of those some words. Will you did it impact felt will need a green orange France doomed wine and chocolate they could. They can do whatever they want and we can do whatever we want and we always serve in the refreshment saloon you know we mine happens. Free okay you don't want chocolate and end of the wine but he'll have. Water and then jeez maybe. I'm sure you catch what rendered I know how big their forget these decorating. Yeah yeah right at him with our kinks in grand day out downtown parade then his legs yeah. So that's that's the newer of the events and there's no strings attached nothing. Streets of the public and to our customers I love that I had and like a great idea I think we we need to make sure that the general public. Who knows who contacts. Certain people infidelity with their ideas and that's another thing to get anyone has a fun and different idea. Yes please be glad to take it on. Couldn't ask for you know I think you know there was a woman Fed's I think she's still part of they're local not vote after. Who does so in that movie I think her name fans who does laughter. Oh yeah I'm Guinean Geneva so Antonin. And CBC does the course is like that we didn't listen if I had any thought at all yes stress relief you know and I thought yeah. But it's just a riot to see how people actually do some of the things she asked the doom him and it is very funny. And but it would be good thing I think something like that's fifteen minutes twenty minutes absolutely he's. And so we FT of what he can then do you have a time limit for people to commend you give them some type of perimeter now. Well what we normally scheduled. 530 to 730 now pegged staved it depends on the vendor in this coming in or the person that's giving the the presentation. You know how one. They need to but other then damn doing in bringing whatever their props and stuff Barney. Everything else is on the bank everything else is something mouth PS3. And if I can just mention one other thing nor have we have I can't report April. The bank does. Teaching our kids. So all of the branch managers the business partners. All of a school out into the schools. And we teach the kids to say I love it necessary so we need to first second or third grade we go out and this year we're doing. Lemonade for sale.

Awa Naoko in Translation
A Fox's Window and Other Stories, by Awa Naoko. Translated by Toshiya Kamei. (New Orleans: UNO Press, 2009). ISBN-13: 978-1-60801-006-6. $22.95.
Reviewed by Misa Dikengil Lindberg
I first came across Toshiya Kamei's A Fox's Window and Other Stories while performing a random Google search for "Awa Naoko translation." I was surprised and excited to find this collection of Awa Naoko's children's stories, most of which are appearing in English for the first time.
Awa (1943–1993) is a beloved children's literature writer in Japan who received numerous literary prizes in her lifetime. Mostly unknown abroad, Awa has been compared to Beatrix Potter and Hans Christian Andersen as a writer of modern fairy tales. Her stories, usually set in an undefined era in rural Japan, intriguingly mix the everyday life and emotions of children with a magical world of nature that is both wonderful and frightening. In Awa's world, animals, flowers, and trees speak, mountain and sea witches are a reality, and spells turn seagulls into children. Readers are compelled to rethink the complicated relationship between humans and nature as foxes, cranes, and magnolia trees indelibly touch humans' lives with poignant moral lessons. Sweet and haunting, Awa's stories delight both adults and children.
Toshiya Kamei was born in Japan and studied English and Spanish in school. He received an M.F.A. in literary translation from the University of Arkansas, and his translations have appeared in literary journals and magazines, mainly in the United States. In addition to The Fox's Window and Other Stories, he has translated from Spanish a collection of modern short stories by Liliana Blum entitled The Curse of Eve (Host Publications, Inc., 2008). In the opening translator's note to The Fox's Window and Other Stories, Kamei writes that he selected thirty of his favorite Awa stories from childhood. The result is a wonderful collection that spans Awa's three decade-long career, with classics such as "The Bird," (Tori), "The Long Gray Skirt" (Nagai haiiro no sukāto), and "While the Beans Are Cooking" (Hanamame no nieru made).
The translated collection is wonderful-looking, too, with a gorgeous cover illustration by Amane Kaneko and three black-and-white illustrations included in the text. I couldn't help but wish, however, that the editors at UNO Press had handled this text more carefully, so that Awa's stories could have been impeccably represented in more natural English.
"The Long Gray Skirt" is a haunting tale in which a girl sees her younger brother kidnapped and turned into a pigeon by a woman in a gray skirt. Later the girl is told that her brother had drowned and everything she witnessed was merely a figment of her imagination, the result of spending a frightening night in the forest alone.
Unfortunately the magic of the story often vanishes because of poor or inadequate editing of the translation. On page 70 a passage is accidentally repeated: "Then I burst into tears. Fear ran through my body, and I burst into tears." On page 75 the word cherry is mistakenly written as cheery ("'The horse?' I had seen him in a cheery forest. 'I saw him eating cherry blossoms,' I said.")
Other instances of pronouns without antecedents, unclear tenses, and missing or incorrect articles and prepositions abruptly remind readers that they are reading translated text. On page 69 a definite article is used in front of bush although a bush has not yet been mentioned in the story ("As the path bent around the river, he disappeared behind the bush"), leaving the reader wondering, "What bush?" On page 72, はっときがついたとき is translated as "When I realized it," without any antecedent for "it": そして . . . はっと気がついたとき、ながい灰色のスカートのふもとにぺしゃんと、すわっていました becomes "When I realized it, I sat by the long gray skirt." This sentence also illustrates the toll of tense confusion in Kamei's translation. I'm not sure why すわっていました isn't translated as "was sitting," as this would make it clear as to whether the girl suddenly found herself sitting by the skirt or she intentionally sat down near it, upon realizing that she had been running for a long time. Something like "Suddenly I realized I was sitting right at the hem of the long gray skirt" might have worked better.
This same confusion between the past and past progressive occurs a number of times. あの木のうしろに、修は、かくれているのかもしれません。それとも、そのまたむこうの、こんもりした雪のかげで、息をころしているのかもしれません。私がちかづくと「うわっ」と、とびだして、おどかすつもりで becomes "Maybe Osamu was hiding behind one of the trees, I thought. Maybe he stayed in the shadow of a snow chunk. When I went closer, he would surprise me" (p. 72). Translating the second sentence, like the first, into the past progressive would have been much clearer. Perhaps something like "Maybe he was hiding in the shadow of a snowbank and would jump out and surprise me as I got closer."
Undoubtedly it is difficult to translate some of the conversational, story-telling qualities of Awa's writing into smooth English. Kamei omits many conversational elements of the narration such as そしてandじゃありませんか. Of course it is not necessary to translate every word directly from Japanese into English, and sometimes Kamei simplifies masterfully. There are some places where Kamei's renderings of Japanese expressions into English are impressive. For example, 胸が凍りました becomes "my heart froze with fear," and(たべられる、たべられる)と、心にくりかえしながら smoothly becomes "'I'm going to be eaten!' I screamed inside my head" (p. 72). It is in lines like these, where Kamei boldly reconstructs Awa's words in natural, believable English, that his translation shines.
In other instances, however, Kamei's simplification comes at the cost of Awa's elegant descriptions. All Japanese-English translators know the difficulty of translating giongo (onomatopoeia) and gitaigo (mimesis) into English. While it is perfectly common to omit these rather than bog down the text with wordy translations, Kamei wisely keeps some where the writing would not have worked otherwise. For example, in "First Day of Snow," Kamei preserves the rhythmic quality of some rabbits' hopscotch chant 片足、両足、とんとんとん as "One foot, two feet, hop, hop, hop" (p. 149). In other instances, however, the beauty of Awa's writing is lost when the paring down of adverbial expressions fails to evoke the beauty of the original writing. In "The Large Magnolia," どのリボンにも、きれいにアイロンをかけて、くるくると巻いて、小夜は、大事にしまっているのです is flatly translated as "She ironed them, rolled them, and kept them in the box" (p. 219). Here readers lose the image of Sayo, the main character, meticulously ironing the ribbons and carefully tucking them away in her box, as if they were the most important ribbons in the world. Later in the same story, the spirit of a magnolia tree asks Sayo to rub the tree trunk, and she responds thus: 黙ってうなずいて、片手で木の幹を、いっしょうけんめいこすってみました。そうして、てのひらが、ひりひりしてくるころ、朴の木の幹はうっすらと、すきとおってきて . . . Here readers are given only "she nodded in silence and began to rub the trunk. When her palm began to hurt, the trunk became transparent . . ." (p. 222). I wish readers could instead have seen Sayo rubbing "the trunk with all her might. And just as her palm began to sting with pain, the trunk became transparent . . ."
A final detractor in The Fox's Window and Other Stories is awkward or incorrect English. In "The Large Magnolia" we read that "[Sayo] felt the pecking sound echo her body" (p. 221) when perhaps it should be that the sound echoed within her body. A few pages later, the sentence "Stared by a pair of green eyes, Sayo nodded" (p. 224) sounds like poorly translated English with its missing preposition.
Without a doubt one of the charms of Awa's writing is its storytelling quality. I understand, however, that much of it could be difficult to relay in English. In the original Japanese, characters' thoughts are sometimes set off in parentheses, sometimes not, and at times the narration trails off in ellipses as the main character is left bewildered or questioning his/her own thoughts. Kamei was smart to wrap quotation marks neatly around characters' thoughts, give them clear attributions, and omit trails of ellipsis points in parentheses that would be confusing in English.
Lastly, it is not clear whether this book is intended for scholars, fans of Japanese literature in translation, or the average American child—and perhaps it doesn't matter. But if this were a publication intended to introduce Awa's stories to American children, I would wish it contained a simple glossary to explain Japanese terms. Currently Japanese words such as susuki, chanchanko, uchikake, and furisode are used in the text without adequate explanation. A glossary might make the book more child- and even classroom-friendly.
Toshiya Kamei has nevertheless done a tremendous service in translating Awa's stories and getting an entire collection published by the University of New Orleans Press. Hopefully The Fox's Window and Other Stories will spark American readers' interest in Awa's writing and pave the way for more translations of her work to come.

My first experience at a Pies and Pints was after an intense whitewater rafting trip in Fayeteville, West Virginia. The pitchers of good (no, great) Bridge Brew Works local beer and the large, freshly handmade pizzas were a perfect treat after paying good money to risk death. The new location of Pies and Pints in The Shops at Worthington Place takes my first experience up several notches. I've been there thrice since its opening in early November, and I've been equally impressed and stuffed after leaving each time. Pies and Pints, whose aptly coined slogan "Get Some" coincidentally matches my favorite quote on Facebook, does pizza and beer very well.
The exterior of Pies and Pints is bright orange and green with huge windows offering plenty of light to show off the interior. As you enter you're greeted on the right by a large white elephant painted on the wall, on the left by a wall covered in the Pies and Pints logo and "Get Some!" T-shirts, and a host stand manned by a team of eager servers. A great big ole list of bottles as well as the three dozen taps are impressive, and every server does a great job of being (or pretending at least to be) genuinely excited to have you join them for dinner. The decor is modern industrial with Edison bulbs, exposed ductwork and steel everywhere. Plenty of high tables and booths fill the large space, and each time I've been most of them were occupied by happy customers.
The beer menu describes the different styles and each draft beer very well, and it seems like a rare gem to me to see good beers (Belgians, American craft beers, hard-to-find IPAs) offered in pitchers, especially for a reasonable price. A few televisions hang on the walls amid large pieces of simply framed art. Pies and Pints welcomes boozers and babies alike, and the times I've enjoyed dinner there have featured a good mix of all ages.
I had a chance to talk with Ryan Heastings, the Pies and Pints Beer Czar, and he explained that he's got some huge plans for the Worthington location. Heastings is a Certified Cicerone through the Cicerone Certification Program, and he's in charge of deciding what Pies and Pints carries. Heastings is proud of the beer selection at the new Worthington location as there's much more flexibility than the initial locations in West Virginia with availability of beers and differences in beer laws. With 36 beers on drafts, it's amazing to think that only two of those beers, Great Lakes and PBR, are actually available in West Virginia. The flexibility with beer in Columbus clearly has Heastings excited, and he intends to grow the bottle selection and include a frequently rotating list of one-off beers. Heastings' favorite style is sour, which works great for me as a huge fan of the Flemish sour Duchesse De Bourgogne.
Every server seemed very knowledgeable about the beer list and could accurately describe the beers on draft. A few of the beers we requested happened to be off at the time, and the bartenders and servers all knew very well how to offer related styles. At the beginning of the dinner shift Heastings held a lengthy staff meeting near us to describe new beer offerings, and he mentioned to us that his goal is to have every server and bartender have the beer knowledge to accurately describe all offerings. The goal is to focus the bottle selection on rare bottles, especially high ABV beers that age well so someone knows that even if it's been sitting there for a while, it's been cared for. The owner, Rob Lindeman, is a wine lover, and the list of both by the glass and by the bottle wines is affordable and frankly delicious. (Mmmmm….Malbec.)
In our first trip we tried the rosemary and roasted garlic flatbread served with warm goat cheese and a balsamic reduction glaze. Our very nervous server (so so nervous–the poor girl had her first night of serving on a media night!) warned us that the flavors of this flatbread were pretty strong, and it's clear that they've learned through finicky eaters that they might as well offer a warning rather than deal with the blowback. Regardless, once I had a chance to slather the garlicky triangles of flatbread with the goat cheese, I was a fan. I had a chance to try the char-grilled wings served with creamy gorgonzola dressing on a second trip, and the char flavor came through in the best way possible.
On my third trip with the intention of being healthy I ordered the spinach salad, which was a mound of barely visible greens covered with red onions, grapes and sunflower seeds, and of course large chunks of gorgonzola everywhere. If you love gorgonzola, you'll love Pies and Pints, because it. Is. EVERYWHERE. The salad wasn't my healthiest dinner, but it was definitely delicious.
The pizza is amazing. The nice thin crust is perfectly crispy, and all of the pizzas I've tried featured phenomenal toppings. Large pizzas can be ordered half and half, so with only three visits I've managed to work my way through most of the 18 different specialty pies. (Yes, I am a complete pig. Deal with it.) The Grape Pie featuring red grapes, gorgonzola and rosemary is their most exalted as it's been mentioned on both the Food Network and the Cooking Channel. But the star of the show for me and the husband is the Cuban Pork Pie. Pulled pork cured for six hours, caramelized onions, pineapples, jalapenos, feta, cilantro and creme fraiche sealed the deal pretty easily. I'm also a huge fan of the Chicken Gouda with smoked gouda chunks and the Chipotle Chicken Pie with a nice level of spice. While I wouldn't necessarily think to order it, the Classic Pizza Pie with standard toppings like sausage and pepperoni is pretty impressive as well. Also gluten-free crusts are available for those of you who aren't flour fanatics.
The product and execution of Pies and Pints is well done. I've spoken with the owner a few times, and he comes off as a very genuine, nice man who truly loves his pizza. (After my husband and I devoured a large in less than 10 minutes he admitted to doing the same thing the previous night with a Margherita Pie.) The Beer Czar knows his beers, and he's brought a fantastic selection to the Worthington location. And the servers seem authentically eager to please customers. At least one server we spoke with moved to Columbus with the company, and most of the team members have good senses of humor. And a sidebar, well done on the social media, guys. Within five minutes of checking in on Foursquare, Pies and Pints tweeted at me asking what was for dinner. And my dorky self eats that sort of social media response right up.
Small 10″ pizzas cost around $11 and 16″ larges are roughly $22, which is a decent deal for the heaping tower of toppings that comes with each. If you're not into pizza, there's a decent selection of sandwiches and salads, and if you're super picky about your pizza, you can custom make them to your crazy whims. Although I highly recommend choosing a specialty concoction since they're all so well done.
Pies and Pints found itself in Worthington due to the owner's ties to Columbus as well as Worthington seeming to be a city that could support a good beer and pizza restaurant. The Beer Czar's goal is for all of front of house staff to have earned at least the level of Certified Beer Server in the Cicerone Certification program, and his hope is that his staff becomes so beer educated that he can be more or less obsolete in training. He frequently gives servers and bartenders pop quizzes on beers in an ongoing effort to achieve beer knowledge perfection. His hope is to keep the server knowledge on par with the quality of the drafts on tap, which is setting the bar high.
Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly service and an impressive beer selection make Pies and Pints a great spot for lunch, dinner or nighttime fun. To second their motion, I recommend that if you haven't already, you "Get Some."

Track Star: Rod Stewart
The credits list the song written by one Diane Warren who I found out is one of the world's foremost writer of songs having had her tunes belted out by the likes of Aerosmith, Stewart, Elton John, Barbara Streisand, Roy Orbison, N'Sync, Celine Dion and Canadian crooner Bryan Adams. Warren and Stewart's collaboration was produced for Robin Williams' 1998 "medical student uses humor on patients" effort Patch Adams. Didn't that movie end in a really messed up way? Like his best friend or love interest got murdered messed up?
Close your eyes and listen, tell me you don't have visions of clouds, sailing and winning:

Dewsbury Moor maintained the pressure on Pennine Championship One leaders Doncaster Toll Bar with a 22-12 victory over King Cross.
The visitors had suffered a heavy defeat to Toll Bar the previous week but began well at joint leaders Moor, taking an early 6-0 lead.
Moor responded well and drove forward through Matt Shaw, Jamie Samme and Brad Foster.
Richard Squires sent a long pass out for young winger Tom Kaye to beat the defence and score a well worked try.
King Cross were proving difficult opposition and grabbed a second converted try to lead 12-4.
Moor rallied and again showed character when good handling from Anthony Boardman, Ashley Boddy and Cameron Bruce allowed James Eatherley to send Kaye over for his second try.
Moor dug deep to continue the fightback after half-time and hooker James Delaney spotted a gap in the defence, darted through and raced 75 yards for the equalising try.
The conversion was again missed, leaving it 12-12 but 10 minutes later Moor hit the front for the first time.
Bartley O'Brian, Tobias Richardson, Danny Wardman and Ben Hardacre did well to keep King Cross out before Eatherley broke the defence and raced 80 metres for a terrific try.
Kaye and Jacob Flathers produced try saving tackles before Phil Shotton and Adam Barrett took Moor upfield and Delaney darted through for a try, which Eatherley converted to seal victory.
n Dewsbury Moor A ground out a 14-6 victory over a big Beeston Broncos side in Pennine Division Six.
It proved a fierce contest with the opening 30 minutes scoreless until lively play by Simon Whiteley, Jacob Crosswell, Jon Bownass and Bob Cavaghan set up a good field position.
Peter Robinson and Dean Arundel linked for Lewis Hardy to score and after Jonjoe Fox, Cain Croitty and Cameron Adleigh had gone close, Peter Robinson nipped over and Moor led 8-0.
Moor added a third try on the hour when Arundel sent Conor Ineson close to the line before Louis Greenwood nipped through a gap and over for a try, which Croitty goaled.
Beeston responded with a late converted try but Moor had done enough to register a hard-fought victory.

A worthwhile trip for those who enjoy the road less traveled, the North Rim, or "other side" of the Grand Canyon is visited by only 10% of all Grand Canyon visitors.
North Rim – Grand Canyon
Grand canyon is a scheme by Nature – where you have to go and get mesmerised! IT IS absolutely difficult to summarise, express and appreciate – Grandness of Grand Canyon! For whatever I write and explain – You have to visit this Natural Wonder – Called Grand Canyon.
Now, I use word fortunate – for a reason. North rim experiences cold / snow and it is open till 15th Oct from May 15th. Rest of the year – the North rim is closed – and renders it inaccessible.
It is Different – It is beautiful
Over 8000ft in elevation – this place remains untouched, intact and beautiful. Fewer people. More nature. A sense of peace.
Details on how to travel – which points to see etc is mentioned here on NPS site
Let us go through the North Rim
Traveling from South rim to North rim is a boring journey initially , until you see amazing green patches, tall trees, and animals grazing.
The parking lot is next to visitors centre – right behind that – is a view which is known as Bright Angel Point. Here is what you see…
Scenic Drive to Cape Royal and Point Imperial
Turning back from the visitors centre, a wonderful scenic drive takes you to the two main view points of North Rim. Along the way, you have smaller stop areas. Both these points – are 'road ends here' kind of points. There is nothing ahead – But Grandness!

Peanut producers looking for better year
Farmers live in "next-year" country. After the devastating 2011 drought in the Southwest, peanut growers are hoping for real change this year.
Those gathered for the 67th annual Texas and Oklahoma Peanut Seed Quality Meeting in conjunction with the Oklahoma Peanut Expo at the Quartz Mountain Resort in Lone Wolf, Okla., expressed those sentiments for the new season.
Kelly D. Chamberlin, USDA Agricultural Research Service peanut breeder, in Stillwater, Okla., said last year's extreme stretch of drought and horrific heat hammered her research plots at Fort Cobb, Okla. The harsh weather even kept the new Red River Runner peanut from showing its stuff.
Key Points
• 2011 drought hammered Oklahoma-Texas peanut crop.
• Producers and industry look for better season this year.
• Peanuts still must compete with cotton and corn for acres.
"But don't give up on the Red River Runner; it was a bad year," Chamberlin noted.
Alan Ortloff of Clint Williams Co., Madill, Okla., agreed, citing the lackluster germination test results last year by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture for Red River Runner.
"From what we saw, it was clearly environmental," Ortloff reported.
Chamberlin said molecular methods used for trait selection can speed up screening by two to three years in peanut breeding. But still, it takes about 10 years overall to introduce a new peanut variety like the Red River Runner. It was developed by the USDA breeding program.
Chamberlin is working on three advanced lines of peanuts for Texas, Oklahoma and North Carolina.
Hassan Melouk, veteran peanut breeder with the ARS-Oklahoma State University program in Stillwater, noted it took 26.5 inches of irrigation during last year's historic drought just to keep the research plots of peanuts growing.
Never cool
Jason Woodward, Texas AgriLife Extension Service plant pathologist and statewide peanut specialist, Lubbock, concurred on the impact of last year's drought and relentless heat.
Even on the higher elevation of the Texas High Plains, "It never cooled down in the evenings."
Woodward said with an 85% overall moisture deficit, the peanut crop was behind all season.
"There was a big difference in a producer having limited irrigation for peanuts and moderate irrigation [available]," Woodward reported.
The peanut specialist expects Texas will grow about 100,000 acres of peanuts this year, hopefully, with much better moisture and temperature conditions. He said some in central Texas' old traditional peanut country — which had opted in recent years to try cotton — may return to peanuts this year.
Some specialists and industry leaders equate cotton at 90 cents per pound and peanuts at $600 per ton. But depending on irrigation, 90-cent cotton might more likely equal $700-per-ton peanuts.
At $550-per-ton peanuts, economic analysis shows producers could do better with either cotton or corn.
Woodward noted Russian thistles (aka tumbleweeds) were bad on the Plains last year and are seen as a potential host for root knot nematodes this year. That could impact nematode control in peanuts.
John Damicone, OSU Extension plant pathologist, Stillwater, said 2011 was just bad.
Beyond last year's drought, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture also noted some freeze damage that resulted in mushy peanut seed. Seed providers had to segregate some seed in response.
"It was a tough year, last year," Damicone said. "I guess it's showing up in the seed."
Joe D. White, a Frederick, Okla., peanut grower and chairman of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, is expecting better growing conditions this year.
Al Sutherland of Oklahoma Mesonet, Norman, said only 1910-11 could be compared to 2011 in Oklahoma; not even the Great Dustbowl of the 1930s or the extremes of the 1950s drought were comparable. Beyond the drought and heat, June of last year set a record for the number of days with sustained high winds. The many windy days, especially at that time, really zapped crops.
But the good news, Sutherland noted, is that the stubborn La Niña, a cooling of equatorial Pacific surface waters that encourages drought by keeping the jet stream to the north, may finally be giving way to El Niño, a warming of those Pacific waters that historically leads to more rain. Many parts of Texas and Oklahoma already were in far better shape going into this spring than last year. The drought appears to be lessening.

Welcome. I have another project featuring the fabulous vines from the Hayride stamp plate. Aren't they lovely? I sprayed and applied a bit of gesso to my background. I stamped and embossed the vines in black. Some flowers accented by Stickles adorn the vine. The wooden sign is also part of the Hayride stamp plate. The flourishes around the edges and the sentiment are from Serenity. I finished it off by spraying some tulle and heating it until it shrunk. Have a great day and thank you for stopping in.

I was part of an interview panel for an upcoming business school couple of weeks back. This was a mock interview session before they actually go in for their placement in the next few weeks. This interview was for the students who were majoring in Marketing and had come from diverse background. The interview panel consisted of a HR professional, a Personality Development Expert and a Marketing Professional (that's me)
When the first 2 candidates came for in the interview, we started talking about the projects they have undertaken, key learning from such projects and how have they applied their marketing knowledge and learning into this project. Seeing them fumbling with answers, I decided to check their basic understanding of the discipline. Therefore, when the 3rd candidate came in, I asked him what's the difference between Marketing & Sales? And that's where the trouble started. No one, not a single student, can tell me the simple difference. It was a shocking experience for me and for the other two panelists. And we were at a loss at how we should continue with the interview.
Back home, when I started analyzing the situation, I understood, that the students have failed to answer even the most basic questions, because they have not been told at the beginning of the course what is expected of them at the end of such course. Also, the curriculum was not in tune and the exams merely tired to test their memories. Therefore, the fundamentals of a business school were challenged. As an aspiring business school from Bangalore, I was expecting that these would be the main concern area of the school and they would have spent most of their time and energy in planning the courses and its teaching methods.
I called up the dean of the school, discussed about my observation and talked about my suggestions.
The big dilemma that I faced post this experience is :
1. What is the future of these students, who have spent lacs of rupees?
2. Should we have a qualification process for a business school who wants to set up a shop here? At the end of the day, they are not delivering what they are supposed to do.
I asked almost all these students why they want to do MBA in Marketing. Everyone, without exception, said that because they like to interact with people! An answer which could be acceptable before someone joins an MBA school, and definitely not when he / she is graduating from one.

UNC Scandal
UNC's Kupec worked to establish job eventually given to Tami Hansbrough
A fundraising position at UNC-Chapel Hill filled by Tami Hansbrough was the result of direct efforts by Matt Kupec, the university's chief fundraiser who was also in a relationship with her, a top university administrator acknowledged in an interview Tuesday.
The $95,000-a-year job for Hansbrough was also funded by Kupec's office, said Winston Crisp, the university's vice chancellor for student affairs.
The job for Hansbrough, who is the mother of former UNC basketball star Tyler Hansbrough, is listed on organizational charts as being part of Crisp's office – an arrangement approved by Crisp and UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp that allowed the university to bypass concerns about the relationship and move Hansbrough into the job.
Tami Hansbrough is now on administrative leave, and Kupec abruptly resigned Sunday night. Thorp said Monday that university officials had found "personally driven travel" involving Kupec and Hansbrough that was "unacceptable."
Four weeks ago, The News & Observer began seeking records related to the travel, but the university has not yet provided the records.
Kupec's resignation has added to the string of embarrassing revelations at UNC-CH, which include a yearlong investigation into academic fraud involving athletes in the school's Department of African and Afro-American Studies. Thorp recently turned to former Gov. Jim Martin to lead an independent probe, and the State Bureau of Investigation is also on the case.
Kupec's relationship with Hansbrough raises questions about the mother of a basketball star getting two jobs at the university, and it has brought to light Tami Hansbrough's past activities in Mississippi, where another of her sons was playing basketball in 2007.
A new gift officer
Kupec had initially established a new fundraising position in his own office, and Hansbrough expressed interest in it, Thorp said Monday. Thorp said he intervened when he learned of the possible hiring, citing his knowledge of the relationship and nepotism rules that would prevent Kupec from having Hansbrough work in his office.
In an interview, Thorp said he supported the ultimate arrangement of having Hansbrough work in the student affairs fundraising job – one that he said was the result of a wide search for a "gifts officer" who would raise money from parents.
Crisp said Tuesday that he did not immediately know how much money Hansbrough had raised for his office, but he said that she had performed well in the position.
Asked whether he had initiated the creation of the position, Crisp said: "It was a position that Vice Chancellor Matt Kupec and I talked about putting together jointly. Ultimately, the final hiring decision was mine."
Asked to clarify, he said: "Matt came to me to propose that we work together on a major gift officer for parents. That was a position that I had been interested in for quite some time but had not had the ability to fund. But it was Matt who approached me with the initial conversation of having a major gift officer for parents of children."
Crisp said that Hansbrough's name never came up in the conversations about the new position. He said he did not believe that he had previously requested such a position in writing.
Hansbrough began the job on Valentine's Day in 2011.
Lawsuit in Mississippi
Crisp said in the interview that Hansbrough's hiring was the result of a search committee's unanimous recommendation. He said he was unaware of any concerns about Hansbrough's travel with Kupec until the chancellor spoke with Crisp late last week.
Kupec declined to comment Tuesday. Hansbrough could not be reached.
Thorp has said he learned from Kupec sometime in the fall of 2009 that Kupec and Hansbrough, a former Miss Missouri, were in a relationship.
Around that time, records show, both Kupec and Hansbrough were also in the midst of court actions involving allegations of affairs.
In September 2009, Hansbrough was sued in Mississippi by a woman who alleged that Hansbrough broke up her marriage.
In October 2009, Kupec separated from his wife with the intent to divorce, records show. His wife alleged "marital misconduct" in court papers, but the documents do not detail further allegations.
Two UNC jobs
Tami Hansbrough, who was divorced, had moved from Missouri to live near Mississippi State University, where her son Ben played basketball in 2007.
Lisa Fritz alleged in court documents that beginning in 2007, Hansbrough had seduced Fritz's husband, leading to his separation from her in early 2008 and then divorce. Fritz, who could not be reached Tuesday, alleged emotional distress and sought damages.
By the middle of 2008, Ben Hansbrough transferred to Notre Dame, and Tami Hansbrough has said she started looking to be closer to Tyler in Chapel Hill as he began his senior season with the Tar Heels.
She was first hired for a fundraising job in the UNC-CH dentistry school's foundation in December 2008, records show.
The university's announcement at the time said Tami Hansbrough "has led marketing efforts related to medical organizations and outreach – including her leadership of a woman's health fair in her former state of Missouri."
The news release did not mention that she lived more recently in Mississippi or detail any work history there.
Tami Hansbrough said at the time that the athletics department was not involved in her hiring.
The bankruptcy case
As the court action brought by Fritz against her was pending, Hansbrough filed for bankruptcy in December 2009, at first listing assets of $28,126 and liabilities of $47,161. Her salary was about $82,000 per year.
She later amended court records to reflect a possible liability to Fritz of $1 million because of Fritz's claim.
The dispute between Fritz and Hansbrough was dismissed by both as Hansbrough's bankruptcy process wrapped up.
"Well, Ms. Hansbrough filed for bankruptcy, and that claim got pulled into bankruptcy, and that was pretty much the end of it," said Fritz's lawyer, R.H. "Bo" Burress III of Booneville, Miss.
Notre Dame games
Thorp said an initial review of records suggested that Hansbrough and Kupec were traveling to places where Ben Hansbrough was playing for Notre Dame, trips that would not be related to UNC business.
He has not disclosed more.
Crisp said Tuesday that he was also aware of Hansbrough's relationship with Kupec and that he knew they had traveled together. But he viewed her as a great fit for a job that would require interaction with parents.
He said he could not say whether Kupec had Hansbrough in mind for the position all along.
"You know, I can't begin to tell you that I know what Vice Chancellor Kupec's motivations were or were not at this stage," Crisp said. "What I can tell you is that there were absolutely legitimate reasons for us to create the position, and I can tell you that, without regard for what his motivations may or may not have been, it was a standard, independent, wide-open, full search that I have every confidence in how it operated.
"Without regard to what Matt may or may not have been doing, Tami emerged as the appropriate candidate outright."

Births to mothers between ages 10 and 19
2006 - 14.8%
2008 - 12.5%

Signal Mountain - 2.2%
Source: State of the Region Report on Health, Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies
Teen pregnancies are down across Hamilton County, but there still are neighborhoods with distressing numbers of teenage mothers, according to research compiled by Girls Inc., a youth advocacy group for girls.
The research brief, compiled from national, state, county and city statistics, is the first in a series Girls Inc. plans to release as it commemorates its 50th year in Chattanooga.
"It's part of our strategic plan to become experts on girls in Hamilton County, and this is obviously a critical issue our girls face," said Bea Lurie, president of Girls Inc.
In 2008, 12.5 percent of all births in the county were to mothers between the ages of 10 and 19 - down from 14.8 percent in 2006, according to the report.
Despite the more positive general outlook, Lurie says the figures still are alarming, especially when racial disparities are examined.
Among black women, one in four babies - 23 percent - were born to teenage mothers in 2008. That's more than two and a half times the percentage for whites and more than double the percentage for Hispanics.
The statistics also shift dramatically according to neighborhood. In four Chattanooga neighborhoods, more than 25 percent of all births were to teen mothers: Amnicola/East Chattanooga, downtown, Bushtown/Highland Park and Glenwood/Eastdale. In Signal Mountain, the rate is 2.2 percent.
The factors leading to high numbers in teen pregnancy are many and multilayered.
Some girls, Lurie explained, treat pregnancy like a tool: It's a way to get attention, status, free resources, and in some cases, a man. It also can be viewed as a way out of a difficult family situation, or foster care.
"It's an upside-down mentality," Lurie said.
Teen pregnancy is often more frequent in low-income areas, and the effects of high teen pregnancy rates can have devastating consequences for a community: increased high school dropout rates, entrenched poverty and higher infant mortality rates, said Lurie.
Hamilton County has the second highest infant mortality rate and the highest low birthweight rate when compared to the four largest metropolitan areas in Tennessee, according to the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department.
Ultimately, taking care of babies born to unsupported teen mothers can take a heavy toll on the family and community, according to Dr. Nita Shumaker, a pediatrician with Galen Medical Group and former president of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Medical Society.
Those babies are more frequently born pre-term and can suffer severe birth defects, she said.
"It's a bigger cost on everyone - on county resources, city resources, health agencies that can't expect insurance to step in. Not to mention the emotional and health costs for mother and baby," she said.
Shumaker said Hamilton County's recent budget cuts may further hamper teen pregnancy prevention programs.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger's 2012 budget proposes to cut $940,000 to the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department budget, which oversees family planning services.
The budget plan also eliminates funding for Harriet Tubman Express, A co-ed teen pregnancy postponement and life-skills attainment program that targets teen residents of the Harriet Tubman Development in East Chattanooga.
As of January, the Harriet Tubman Express program had only four pregnancies among its 1,100 members in the past two decades, according to newspaper archives.
"Cutting family planning - especially in higher-risk areas - is counterproductive," said Shumaker.
Lurie said that the community's call to action now should be a heavy push for better sex education. She promotes comprehensive, age-appropriate curriculum that is abstinence-based, but also introduces girls to the birth control and protection against sexually-transmitted diseases.
"It needs to include everything from choices and relationships to long-term goals," said Lurie, "But there also has to be open and honest education if they're sexually active."

What's Next for the California Theatre?
This week's local real estate news

Word on the Street
Developer launches campaign to replace California Theatre with high-rise
Last year, a developer revealed its plan to demolish the long-abandoned California Theatre in downtown and transform the block on Fourth Avenue and C Street into a 40-story mixed-use community called The Overture, with residences, retail shops, and restaurants. The project is up for review by Civic San Diego in September.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles-based company behind the project launched a change.org campaign to gain support for its redevelopment vision, and are hosting a kick-off event on Thursday, July 14, at The Local Eatery & Drinking Hole.
"C Street in downtown San Diego is currently a frightening corridor to all who visit the area," Cyrus Sanandaji, principal of Sloan Capital Partners, says in an email. "Our petition is meant to highlight support from downtown residents and businesses to our city's leaders so they know that we are tired of the status quo on C Street and call for the revitalization of the corridor starting with The Overture."
The deterioration of the California Theatre—which has been abandoned for 26 years—and surrounding area has been well-documented, and that section of C Street has been called San Diego's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."
Groups that oppose the project want to preserve three murals on the theatre's walls that date back to the 1920s, but the paintings failed to get historic designation at a hearing in June.
Plans for The Overture list 282 residences, including 22 affordable units, 314 parking spaces, and a community space on Fourth Avenue that will pay homage to the former theater.
What do you think of the project replacing the California Theatre? Tell us in the comments!

Bomber Brewing Expands with PGA Tour Prairie Baard Beer
prePGA TOUR Pro Graham DeLaet Debuts Prairie Baard – A New Craft Beer
DeLaet will be in Saskatoon on May 25th and Calgary on May 26th to officially launch the beer; Prairie Baard will hit two key SLGA locations this week in time to kick off the May long weekend
Saskatoon, SK (May 19, 2016) – PGA TOUR golfer Graham DeLaet and award-winning craft brewery Bomber Brewing announced today the launch of a new craft beer, Prairie Baard – Blue Collar Craft. The Prairie Baard brand is rooted in a hard-working, blue collar attitude, while also embracing the freedom to create your own identity, and live life on your own terms.
The Golden Ale uses the finest local ingredients to produce an easy drinking, premium tasting beer. As a nod to DeLaet's home province, malted barley and wheat from Saskatchewan give the beer a crisp and refreshing drinkability, while hops from the Pacific Northwest impart a pleasing pine and citrus aroma.
Over the upcoming weeks, the beer will be available in SLGA locations across Saskatchewan and in the top liquor distributors throughout Alberta – including Sobeys, Safeway, Co-op, and Liquor Depot, with plans to expand its footprint coast to coast across Canada in the near future.
For the launch and just in time to kick off the May long weekend, Prairie Baard will hit shelves at two key SLGA locations this week – SLGA University Heights in Saskatoon and SLGA South Albert in Regina.
To officially launch Prairie Baard, DeLaet will be touring two locations to host kick-off events, where consumers can enjoy Prairie Baard tastings and meet Graham DeLaet and the team behind the beer:
Wednesday, May 25th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM SLGA University Heights – 503 Nelson Road, Saskatoon, SK
Thursday, May 26th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM Sobeys Royal Oak – 8888 Country Hills Blvd NW, Calgary, AB
DeLaet, born and raised in rural Saskatchewan, has a passion for all things Canadian – including hockey, fishing, golf and of course, beer. In collaboration with Bomber Brewing, the concept of Prairie Baard was designed by DeLaet with these passions in mind while building the concept of the beer from the ground up. Throughout the creation process, DeLaet inserted his personal tasting notes into the development of the recipe with Bomber.
"Growing up in the prairies – drinking a good beer at the end of a long day was part of our culture," said DeLaet. "Working with our team on building a craft beer business has been a great experience. From the recipe to the overall Prairie Baard brand, I wanted to create something that was true to my roots, and reflected the values of hard working Canadians everywhere. Prairie Baard is not only a great tasting beer, but it is something that people will be proud to hold in their hand."
In order to craft the perfect Golden Ale blend, it was important to partner with a brewery that shared DeLaet's vision of creating a product better than the everyday beer. Bomber Brewing is an expert in the craft beer space and a winner of multiple awards for its products. Bomber's shared vision with DeLaet includes a creation that is balanced and approachable.
"Born from a shared love of sport, beer and hard work, our partnership with Graham has been quite organic and extremely gratifying," said Don Farion, Managing Partner of Bomber Brewing. "From our first meeting I knew we spoke the same language; that of passion, quality and that hard-working, blue collar mentality."
DeLaet and Bomber Brewing have partnered with the distribution company, Horizon Beers, to support the beer on the distribution side as it rolls out across Canada.
Prairie Baard's Golden Ale is brewed with 70% Saskatchewan Barley and 30% Saskatchewan wheat both of which are malted in Biggar, SK. Unlike most hazy, cloudy wheat beers, Prairie Baard is filtered to crystal clarity and generously hopped at the very end of the brew to give it a wonderful aroma without imparting a strong bitterness. The wheat gives the beer a tart crisp finish, as well as adding some bright biscuit and cracker like aromas. The hops used are called Falconer's Flight – Seven Seas. Seven Seas refers to it being a blend of seven different "C" hops; Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, Citra, Chinook, Comet and Crystal. These hop brings strong and citrus aromas to this already refreshing ale.

Landscape Guidelines
Planting Near IID's Equipment: Be Sure to Landscape Safely
Landscaping in both residential and commercial settings provides an attractive way to dress up any property. However, landscaping can be dangerous if items are planted too close to IID's electrical equipment.
Ever wonder what's in the green boxes around your neighborhood or even on your property? Those green boxes house high-voltage electrical equipment that delivers energy to your neighborhood.
In the event of an outage, or equipment failure, it is vital that utility personnel have immediate and safe access to its equipment to make the needed repairs.
For your safety, and that of the electrical workers, it is important to adhere to standards that limit landscaping around electrical facilities.
The utility is reminding homeowners with green electrical boxes on their property to resist the temptation to disguise these boxes with excessive shrubbery or decorative rock or brick formations.
These boxes must remain well ventilated, and customers are reminded not to build structures around the equipment or to attempt to enclose it in any way. Shrubbery should be planted no closer than three feet from the sides and rear of these boxes and no closer than 10 feet in front to allow crews access to the equipment inside.
