Judith K. Henson,
70, Ahsahka
Judith Kay Henson of Ahsahka passed away
Judy was born
She married the
love of her life, Art Henson, and together they raised a combined
family of six children. Judy had one biological child and five bonus
stepchildren. Throughout the years she also helped raise many nieces
and nephews, as well as grandchildren—and loved doing it.
Judy's happiest
times were when the house was full of family and friends. Along with
her husband, Art, Judy never met a stranger; everyone was always
welcomed into their home and in their hearts. As was said, you never
knew who would show up for dinner, but it did not matter, as there
was always enough for all.
She loved spending
time with all her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and enjoyed
watching any activity they participated in.
Judy worked as a
cook for the Greer nursing home, and for the Head Start educational
center in Orofino. She was also the bookkeeper for the family
business, H&W Logging.
Judy is survived
by her daughter Tammy and husband James of Orofino; stepdaughters
Linda and husband Doug Wakefield of Lewiston and Susie and husband
Chris Marvin of Orofino; and stepsons Danny and wife Randie Henson
of Wyoming, and Jeff Henson of Ahsahka.
Judy's surviving
siblings include Jean Fackenthall, Ahsahka; Bob and Phyllis Bell,
Peck; Wilma Caine, Hurst, TX; Lee and Forest Hamilton, Lewiston; and
Terry and Sherilyn Bell, Alvarado, TX. She is also survived by
numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and
close friends.
She was preceded
in death by her loving husband, Art Henson; parents Red and Georgia
Bell; stepson Pete Henson; and sister Sharon Bell Sanchez.

could about his "current hobby," of which there were many.

hobbies, but continued with crocheting and some beading.

afghans, jewelry, or ceramic decorations. Her flowers, ceramics, and
crocheting were her pride and joy at the fair each year as were the
many ribbons she won by exhibiting them.

football team was the Seattle Seahawks, and was his inspiration in

children and grandchildren and the first great granddaughter
birthday cake as well.

much joy, especially her pet parakeet, Pepie. He would repeat
everything she would say and was a constant companion.

Can't find the answers you need? Ask your question and it may be posted and addressed by the panel!
As the only daughter in my family, I have been known to be a little bit of a princess. My own Prince Charming proposed to me at Disney World in 1997. We went to Disney again to celebrate college graduation, and have been back every year since. I have always loved the magic that you feel upon entering the Walt Disney World gates. In fact, our family has the rule that nothing bad can be said and no one can be grouchy while on Disney property! I have a degree in sports broadcasting and was a cheerleader and dancer throughout high school and college. Most recently, I am a home school mom, soccer mom, robotics team coach, Sunday school teacher, children's taxi driver, runner, Cross Fit athlete wanna-be, passionate animal lover and a terrible cook.
As fate would have it, this princess was blessed with two beautiful and rambunctious boys, ages 12 and 9. They love soccer, baseball, robots, computers, Goofy and Mickey. They love pin trading and Hidden Mickey searches at Walt Disney World; we have also participated in the Youth in Education series. Disney World for school? Can't beat that! My husband and I have been married for 14 years. He works very hard and long hours for a coal company and while we are polar opposites in many ways, we both love to travel and think that Disney always does it right! We both really enjoy running runDisney races. Somehow, I always train more than him, but he manages to beat me every time!
In my town, I am known as the "Crazy Disney Lady"! It is so much fun for me to help others plan their vacations. I really try to emphasize that the more you plan before you go, the more you can sit back and enjoy the magic while you are here. We have been here so many times, yet we always find new ways to enjoy Disney and new adventures to take. I have been running for a little over 3 years now and can unequivocally say that Disney races are the best! Hands down! Whether you are an elite runner or a fast walker doing it for your health and fun---Disney races are a blast!. The atmosphere is full of fun and excitement. There are volunteer cheerleaders and Disney characters all along the course, and you get to run in the most magical place on earth! RunDisney races are truly for everyone. Send me your question so we can plan your perfect runDisney trip!

Going Gonzo for Cooperstown
By Samantha Carr
Winning a World Series is the goal of every major league player from the time they enter the big leagues. Luis Gonzalez not only has a ring, but helped his team in dramatic fashion with a walk-off hit in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series against the premier closer of his generation, the Yankees' Mariano Rivera.
The 2001 World Series was special because it was the Diamondbacks' first and the first ever to be played in Arizona – but more so because it came two months after the September 11th attacks.
"There was so much going on in the world at that time that baseball was a release for people. Especially being played in New York where the attacks took place. They could forget about all the trouble and enjoy America's Pastime," said Gonzalez, who is in Cooperstown this week coaching his son Jacob's travel team at Cooperstown Dreams Park.
"Gonzo" donated the bat he used from that 2001 game to the Hall of Fame, and it is on display in the Autumn Glory exhibit on the third floor of the Museum.
"It was dramatic, in Game 7 and definitely a memorable World Series," he said.
Gonzalez's team is 5-1 so far this week – and the players visited the Museum on Wednesday after meeting Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson, who gave them a sneak peak at one of the newest Hall acquisitions – the cap Arizona's Edwin Jackson wore during his June 25 no-hitter.
Gonzalez retired in 2009, and he will have his number retired by the Diamondbacks on Aug. 7 – the first player to receive that honor.
"I've been enjoying my time coaching my son and taking the team to Cooperstown," Gonzalez said. "It is great to take them through the Museum so they can dream – just as I did as a kid."
Gonzalez will be eligible for Hall of Fame election in 2014 and with five All-Star appearances, 354 home runs, 596 doubles (15th on the all-time list) and a lifetime .283 batting average over 19 seasons he is likely to get some consideration.
"The Hall of Fame is every kid's dream when you start playing baseball," said Gonzalez. "You just hope that I did as much as I could in the game, that I helped with community service and that I did enough on and off the field."
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Transatlantic Council on Migration
Transatlantic Council on Migration
Recent Activity
Recent Activity
German media has helped reinforce the image of immigrants as "aliens" — sometimes even in exaggerated terms — since the first guest workers came to Germany in the 1950s. By focusing primarily on the problems associated with migration in Germany, the report shows that media have helped contribute to an atmosphere of polarization among the German public.
Germany has de facto been receiving immigrants for the last four decades, but the government only began actively dealing with the long-term impact of immigration a decade ago. Since the 1990s, Germany shifted away from stemming flows to recognizing its identity as a country of immigration and managing the impact of immigration on society.
Voters' brains connect words, phrases, images, values, and emotions, and these connections — known as networks of association — influence their receptiveness to political messages, often far more strongly than facts and rational arguments. This report shows that to reach those who have not yet made up their mind on a particular issue, advocates and leaders need to understand the associations a term such as "immigrant" spark in the mind of the electorate and strengthen positive associations while weakening negative ones.
The size and characteristics of immigration to the UK have changed significantly. Immigrants are more numerous, more mobile, and more diverse than ever before. This report looks at the differing immigration patterns.
This report explores the fundamental question of how successful integration and immigrant social mobility is in Europe and North America. The authors examine the economic performance and rate of labor market assimilation for first and second generation immigrants, and outline what policymakers can do to promote the social mobility and integration of immigrants and their children.
MPI convened the first extraordinary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration in Berlin on June 17-18, 2009. The expert dialogue focused on local integration efforts and outcomes in North America and Europe, examining what works (and what does not) with respect to integration.
The discussion guide offers a brief demographic and statistical profile of the immigrant student population in the United States, with comparison points drawn to Germany, sketches the broad policy implications of the demographic data, and provides a set of policy and practice issues in immigrant education and integration to facilitate a Roundtable inquiry in two areas: early childhood care and education, and secondary education.
Report examines the findings of a survey conducted by The Integration of the European Second Generation (TIES), which compares data for second-generation Turks with parents of comparable backgrounds across contextual factors in seven European countries to explore why educational outcomes vary within the target group.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College's Office of Faith and Spirituality will host a special worship service honoring America's veterans at 11:40 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11, in Orr Auditorium. The service is open to the community.
Westminster Wind Ensemble will perform a concert of patriotic music and there will be a slide show honoring alumni, alumni spouses, students, faculty, staff and administrators of the College who have served in the armed forces.
The service will feature guest speaker retired USNR Capt. Erin Patrick Holiday. He earned his undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics at Westminster in 1986, before attending Officer Candidate School and then the Naval Justice Legal School in 1987. In 1994, he earned a master's in telecommunications management from University College at University of Maryland.
During his career Holiday served in Guam as the command legal officer, and then the assistant CLASSIC WIZARD division officer with the Naval Security Group Department. He also served as the Operations Officer for the Naval Security Group Detachment Potomac and CLASSIC WIZARD project manager for Naval Security Group Activity at Fort Meade in Annapolis, Md. He left active duty in 1994, but held several civilian military positions until his retirement in May. He is currently employed by the National Security Agency as a network program manager.
Holiday is the father of current Westminster College students Nicholas and Jacquelyn Holiday. Holiday's father, James Holiday, graduated from Westminster in 1959.
Dr. Scott Mackenzie, associate professor of theatre and chair of the Department of Communication Studies, Theatre, and Art and a veteran who served in Iraq, is coordinating the event.
"Westminster alumni have a long tradition of supporting the nation through military service dating back to the Civil War. Since then alumni have served in every major American conflict," Mackenzie said. "In addition to alumni, we have several veterans among the current faculty, staff and students. We want to pay tribute to all the men and women who have served, and particularly those with strong connections to the College."
