The 5 Weirdest Side Effects of Moving to a New Country
A year and a half ago, I moved from San Francisco to Australia, knowing almost nothing about the country other than what I'd learned from reading Cracked (so just a montage of ways I was going to die). After braving the Australian Outback and letting all of those giant poisonous spiders know who's boss (them, very much), I recently returned home. With some distance from my experiences abroad, I was able to reflect on the process of acclimating to the new culture, and I have some words of wisdom to share for any prospective emigrants out there. Spoiler alert: It's all bad.
#5. You Will Hate Everything and Everyone There at First
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
When I stepped off the plane in Sydney, my only emotions were excitement and needing to pee (I'm not super clear on what emotions are). After the pleasant discovery that Australia had indoor plumbing (they're just like us!), I unpacked my bags, updated my current city on Facebook, and went out to experience everything. Look at those weird giant Cretaceous birds right in the middle of the city! Hey, that building looks like a sailboat! What a beautiful country, with such- I'm sorry, does this burger have a slice of beet on it? And I must have misheard you, I thought you said this can of Coke was $4.50. What, I have to go pay at the front, even though this is a goddamn restaurant and you are here to serve me?? OK, which one of the buttons on my new Australia-issued cellphone tells you and this whole place to fuck right off forever? One of the bottom ones?

I know most of the top ones just order Vegemite.
It's crazy how quickly it happens; you'll flip from the honeymoon phase, where you end up whimsically throwing your big floppy hat into the air several times a day, to the kind of bitterness usually only experienced by IHOP waitresses and the kid who played Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace. This is a real, studied phenomenon called culture shock, which includes "feelings of helplessness [and] irritability, and fears of being cheated, contaminated, injured, or disregarded" (and stems from the jarring realization that a lot of the things we think of as "the way things are" are actually just cultural constructs.
We're not just talking about the big things, like being far away from your family and being surrounded by accents that sound completely ridiculous to even the most well-trained American ear. It's the tiny differences, from the aesthetics of road signs to the words they use to order coffee, that really get you. Before a move, you mentally prepare yourself to handle the stress of saying goodbye to your family, but you don't prepare yourself to live in a world where the vegetation, architecture, animals, and smells are completely different. At any time of day or night, absolutely everything you see seems designed to remind you that things are different and you don't belong there.

This is Australia's "jeans and a T-shirt."
The weirdest part is that even though I knew about culture shock, even though I was aware that the emotions I was feeling were irrational and temporary, I still hated everything so, so much. The birds were pretty, but much too loud. Their commercials were all so low budget and silly. (For real, Coke Zero ad execs: "Tastes a Lot Like Coke ... No Joke" is the best slogan you could come up with, you bush-league mouth-breathing embarrassments of advertising professionals?) And don't even get me started on the trees -- I shouldn't have to explain that a tree is something straight and bushy and, if I had to put a word to it, tree-shaped, and not this haphazard Dr. Seuss bullshit, but I still did explain that to everyone who made eye contact with me.

I refuse to call these Christmas trees.
There's another side to that coin; as your conception of reality is roughly and carelessly dismantled like a toddler playing Jenga, you'll find that ...
#4. You'll Miss Stuff You Never Even Cared About
Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
I like to think of myself as a fairly flexible person; for example, when I found out that crispy M&Ms were being discontinued, I didn't make good on my promise to "burn Big M&M to the ground if my demands are not met within 24 hours." I figured this adaptability would serve me well in Australia, where I could roll with whatever upside-down, spider-covered punches came my way. But for a few weeks, I honestly thought I would have to leave Australia because the timing of the pedestrian crossing lights was so much better in the U.S. This isn't an exaggeration; free health care and no gun crime were cool, I guess, but for a while I couldn't imagine raising a family in a country where you had to wait through a full light cycle to get permission to cross the street.
True story. They made me wait a full light cycle to cross the street. Me. An American!
Sydney Morning Herald / Fairfax Media / Getty
This is Australia's Wounded Knee.
When I wasn't protest-jaywalking, I sought out every remnant of my old culture I could find. I ate at the world's most pathetic excuse for a taco truck over and over, never admitting defeat. I had been so excited to get out of the U.S. before the presidential election season kicked into full swing, but found myself almost immediately trying to convince bartenders to change the channel to CNN from whatever backcountry nonsense sport they were watching. I started calling rugby and Aussie rules football "backcountry nonsense sports," even though I had (and still have) no idea what they are, other than that the people who play them have accents.
It's just another weird side effect of culture shock; you mistake "familiar" for "superior." There are things that you're so completely used to, things that have been a part of your reality since birth, that you start assuming are a fundamental part of the way the world works. You'll get exhausted from having to rebuild your entire framework from scratch and subsequently desperately long for that brand of toaster strudels you used to get that were pretty good, or the kind of toilet that flushes with a handle instead of this bullshit button.

From hell's heart I stab at thee.
Eventually, this misplaced nostalgia will coalesce to the point that ...
#3. You Will Get Super Patriotic
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
I've never been a patriotic person. On the Fourth of July I'd get drunk and accidentally set my cousin's tree on fire with black-market fireworks like our forefathers probably wanted, but beyond that, I didn't really see the point of patriotism. Likewise, now that I'm back in America and with a generous prescription from Dr. Hindsight, I'm absolutely bewildered by how patriotic I got while abroad.
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
I'm starting to regret all those tattoos.
And that's the thing: I got PATRIOTIC. Like, animated-gif-of-a-bald-eagle-crying patriotic. There were some ways in which America was obviously superior to Australia; for example, they don't have Netflix or Hulu Down Under, which, in addition to forcing me to buy TV shows on DVD like some kind of medieval farmer, meant that I had to interact with humans a lot more, which isn't really in my wheelhouse. But there were a lot of dumb things I suddenly would have defended to the death: aerosol cans of cheese, Honey Boo Boo, the endless frozen food section at Safeway.
America, to me, is like a sibling: You don't have a ton in common and you keep hoping they'll grow out of this libertarian phase soon, but if someone else makes a joke at their expense, get ready for a good neck-punching, because no one's allowed to make fun of them except for you. And boy, does everyone have some jokes about us. Each one feels like a personal insult, and against your rational judgment, you'll leap to America's defense, because if we as a nation weren't there to answer the question "Can we deep fry and speed eat this?" who would?
Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
Lead, follow, or get out of the way, France.
I felt a sudden affinity for all things American, solely to spite the people who made fun of it. And with this new affection for all the weird, beautiful, horrifying elements of American culture comes an affection for its people, too; namely ...

Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 18th, 16 points out of the top 10. Gained five spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: One win and eight top-10 finishes, including six top-five's in 28 races.
LOOKING AHEAD: Stewart admits Bristol has been "a track where we have struggled." Yet he quickly adds, "It's a track I definitely like. To me that's just motivation. It gives us the ambition to be successful. We do have the new car there and that's a question mark that is the same for everybody. Hopefully we are the ones able to take advantage of it."
LOOKING BACK: Stewart spent the first part of the race going in the wrong direction after starting ninth. But the crew kept making changes to the car and Stewart was able to rally in the final 70 laps to finish 11th at Las Vegas. "It's pretty impressive to end up where we did knowing how we started the race," said Stewart. "Steve Addington (crew chief) and the crew did a really good job all race long because there wasn't one routine stop the whole day. Everybody had to do their part today to salvage what we got out of it."
ETC.: Stewart feels it is way too early in the season to worry about the points. "It's so early right now; there are so many things that can happen that I think it's way too early to be thinking about that," said Stewart. "I think if you are a team that is worrying about it right now, you were probably worried about just making it to begin with. I think the teams that have confidence that they are going to be in or should be in the chase probably aren't that concerned about it at this point."
29 KEVIN HARVICK, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 19th, 20 points out of the top 10. Gained 11 spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: One win and 12 top-10 finishes, including nine top-five's in 24 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Harvick expects another exciting race this weekend at Bristol. "I think any time you go to a short track no matter if the groove is top, bottom or middle, you're going to have cars beating and banging on each other. I think the way the groove moved up the track (at Bristol last August), everyone is a little more aggressive in trying to slide themselves into a spot, so you have to be aggressive to take the opportunity to pass somebody."
LOOKING BACK: Harvick had an up-and-down day at Las Vegas. He ran in the top 10 early before running into handling problems and dropping outside the top. But he rallied in the final 40 laps to finish ninth. "The Rheem guys battled hard today, and we were able to pick up our first top-10 finish of the season," said Harvick. "Our car was fast, but we had a few issues with the handling during the race. The 29 team kept at it all day, making changes that allowed us to leave here with a good finish."
ETC.: Even though the 2013 season is only three races old, Harvick said his team is already "in a routine and searching to find what makes your car the fastest on the track. That's really what we're focused on is being productive and finding what works on the car and what doesn't. We're still learning the (new) car. We've been to three different tracks so far. Bristol will be a fourth and California (on March 24) will be a fifth. You'll have a lot of different styles of track that you'll be able to compile some good notes to use throughout the rest of the year."
31 JEFF BURTON, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 20th, 22 points out of the top 10. Lost five spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: Finished sixth in the spring race in 2012 for his 15th top-10 finish in 38 starts. His one win came in the spring race of 2008.
LOOKING AHEAD: Burton said a driver "definitely has to be aggressive" at Bristol. "I think the fans like to see drivers beating and banging on each other," added Burton. "At the same time, they like to see side-by-side racing. We gave them side-by-side racing and now they want to see us hit each other. You aren't going to make everybody happy all the time. There are not as many wrecks as there used to be (at Bristol), but the actual racing is better."
LOOKING BACK: An ill-timed caution flag put Burton two laps down midway through the race and he spent the rest of the afternoon trying to battle back. "This (26th) wasn't the result the Caterpillar Chevrolet team was expecting this weekend," said Burton. "We had a successful test session on Thursday and made strong gains in practice on Saturday. I felt good about our chances this morning, but the handling got away from us. We'll take the car back to North Carolina and see what went wrong."
ETC.: NASCAR fined Denny Hamlin $25,000 last week for criticizing the new Gen-6 car. Burton felt it was "a little bit of an overreaction on NASCAR's part. We can't lose the ability to talk openly," added Burton. "At the same time, we have to be cognizant of what we're trying to do. It's a fine line. It (the fine) went over the line a little bit with the penalty, but I do understand why they did it."
1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 21st, 22 points out of the top 10. Gained seven spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: Has two top-seven finishes in the last three races and four top-eight finishes in the last six events.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray is another who "always looks forward to racing at Bristol. This is a track where things can happen real fast, but I have been pretty fortunate to have some good runs there. I am really looking forward to an exciting weekend in Bristol."

Pinterest and Self-Identity
Social Networking and Education... a "Pinteresting" idea
At an ever increasing pace people are looking for ways to promote individuality and personal fullfillment. Each individual wants to find a way to make themselves stand out and be noticed. As educators we need to be aware of the social communication and the trends that arise from them. Whether we are educating in grade schools, high schools, or in adult education teachers will be most effective if they take the time to understand the social trends that are taking place. One of the ways that this phenomena is occuring is through a social networking site called "pinterest." Pinterest is a useful tool that can both aid in classroom work, and also help educators find new ideas and share those ideas with other educators. This wiki will explore pinterest and how it works,and outline some basic uses for it in the classroom,
1-What is Pinterest?
Pinterestis a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image
collections such as events, interests, hobbies and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, 're-pin' images to their own collections and/or 'like' photos. Pinterest's mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting"[3] via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing. Pinterest allows its users to share 'pins' on bothTwitter and Facebook, which allows users to share and interact with a broad community.[citation needed] Founded by Ben Silbermann, of West Des Moines, Iowa,[4] the site is managed by Cold Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and inventors. It is one of the "fastest growing social services in the world."[5] (Wikipidia.com)
This is a really informative 90 second video about what pinterest is and how it works...
Pinterest is quickly becoming one of the most popular websites available. The following is a quote from an article called "The Pinterest Experiment" from publishers weekly. The entire article can be found through the link below.
"The world of social media is an increasingly fickle place, and no social media site has gotten more recent hype or questions than Pinterest. Promising signs: it has grown from 3.3 million users in October 2011 to 19 million users in March 2012; it is now the third largest social media network behind Facebook and Twitter, passing LinkedIn (86 million visits in March) with its 104 million visits the same month; in April, Forbes estimated the company was worth $7.7 billion. But recently, the media have started to use the word "bubble," pointing to the slowed growth in March, and figures that show active users actually dropped off in April."
2-How Do I Use Pinterest?
It is really very simple to use...You can either view other's posts without your own account, or you can join and make your own pins.
The website is:
Creating a new account is very simple, you just have to follow a few guided steps. The longest part is that you first have to request to be invited to join, they will then eventually send you an e-mail with an invitation which can take up to 24 hours. The following are the rules about joining as quoted directly from pinterest.com...
The Following is a basic tutorial on how it works...
3-How can I Use Pinterest as an Educator?
As educators pinterest may be helpful in the following ways:

LIVE VIDEO: Two explosions at Boston marathon finish line
Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries.
Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course.
"There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.
About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later.
Authorities said more than 100 people are injured and two dead after bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon today.'
Some people lost limbs in the twin blasts, which knocked spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattered windows and sent smoke into the air. There was no word on the motive or who may have launched the attack, and police say no suspect is in custody.
Police Commissioner Edward Davis also said that the fire at a library a few miles away and more than an hour later doesn't appear to be related to the explosions at the race on Monday. He said the fire may have been caused by an incendiary device.

The Black Horse Inn
For some travelers, the ultimate amenity is a ghost. In a recent survey, 44% of respondents said they had visited a haunted house. More than a quarter said they'd like to sleep in one. A good place to encounter a spirit might be a B&B, says Brian Megless of BedandBreakfast.com, survey sponsor. "The properties are unique and full of stories and historical importance," he adds. He shares some favorites with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY.
At the Black Horse Inn, three ghosts have been reported in this former Civil War hospital — a history that Megless notes "definitely makes it a little bit more creepy." One female spirit, believed to be a nurse, laughs in men's ears. Another spirit, the "Christmas ghost," seems to have toppled a Christmas tree several years in a row. Now the tree is wired to the wall. 540-349-4020; blackhorseinn.com

LEWISTOWN - The process of separation and divorce can leave broken individuals feeling hopeless and alone. But two local Bible studies are combatting those feelings with small group support and encouragement.
"God put this on my heart," Patti Hutton, group facilitator of Restoration Women's Ministries, said.
After becoming aware of the deep, raw emotions experienced by separated women, Hutton said she felt led to help, though she initially tried to talk herself out of it.
"There were many reasons why I was not qualified," she said, explaining that she is not divorced and wasn't a certified counselor.
Despite her hesitation, Hutton began a Bible study about 15 years ago to help encourage women who were facing dissolution in their relationships. After a five-year hiatus, Hutton rekindled the group this fall with the help of Carole Heckman-Shingler, of Reedsville.
Over the next nine weeks, Hutton and Heckman-Shingler will lead a faith-based support group strictly for separated or divorced women on Thursdays at Evangel Baptist Church in Lewistown. The group is interdenominational and meets weekly for video seminars and small group discussion provided through DivorceCare workbooks and resources.
On the other side of the county, Glen and Yvonne Peachey, of Belleville, also offer a Bible study using the DivorceCare program. Like Hutton, the Peacheys have not experienced divorce, but want to help encourage friends who face separation. The Peacheys' study is open to both men and women and meets weekly in their home.
Throughout the course of the program, each group focuses on topics including anger, depression, loneliness, new relationships, finances, forgiveness and reconciliation. Every topic is discussed by industry professionals in a 30-40 minute video and the group is encouraged to share personal experiences and thoughts at the end of the meeting.
"The videos really represent where our ladies are. The first night, I had a level of sharing that I never had before," Hutton said.
For her, that connection within the group is what the ministry is all about. Hutton said that when they begin, many participants are struggling with their identity and compare the process of separation and divorce to a dark tunnel with with no light at the end.
"People describe (separation) as worse than death because the people are still in their life," she said.
After working through the program once, sometimes twice, participants begin to see change in their lives and regain hope in their future. Hutton shared the story of one participant who arrived at the group after moving all of her belongings out of the house, leaving only a note for her husband to return to. The woman attended every weekly meeting but didn't share a word the whole time.
"I thought, 'She's not getting it,' " Hutton admitted.
But at the end of the program, she received a surprising letter in the mail. The participant wrote to thank Hutton for her efforts and outlined every lesson with what she had learned.
"You see a lot of those little moments that just stick," Hutton said.
Glen Peachey had similar success stories to share.
"There was a lady who... I will never forget her coming. She came in stooped over, looked like she was carrying the weight of the world. You would think that she lost all hope," Peachey recalled. "By the time we were through, she had done a 180. She was working in a Burger King in Lewistown. She just had a new lease on life."
Another fellow, he said, had been divorced for quite awhile before attending the Bible study.
"At the Grange Fair, he bumped into his ex and they were able to talk. He was able to share forgiveness and how it affected him," Glen said.
For Heckman-Shingler, the experience is even more personal. She attended the program twice herself after separating from her husband.
"Focusing not on the spouse's issues but yourself and getting your life on track was a big one for me," she said.
With an outstretched hand and an open heart, the women at Evangel Baptist Church and the Peachey family in Belleville hope to make a difference in the lives of many more community members.
"I'm always wanting to help people achieve," Hutton, who is now a professional counselor, said. "When you see that, it's such a blessing to you."
"Forgive and forget. You can't forget," Peachey admitted, "but the impact of the pain that you experience just seems to kind of go away. When you're able to extend forgiveness to your ex, it helps you keep on going."
Restoration Women's Ministries meets at 7 p.m. each Thursday at Evangel Baptist Church in Lewistown. To register, call Patti Hutton at 437-0106 or Carole Heckman-Shingler at 250-1466 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
DivorceCare just concluded a 13-week session but plans to meet on Sunday evenings next spring in Belleville. For more information, call Locust Grove United Methodist Church at 935-2164 or Glen and Yvonne Peachey at 935-7496.

on January 19, 2013 - 2:38 AM
Hamburg Central School Board members will discuss options for dealing with the loss of $450,000 in state aid at their next meeting.
The district will lose the state aid because it failed to have its teacher evaluation plan approved by New York State by Thursday.
Superintendent Steven A. Achramovitch said about $450,000 will be deducted from the state aid payment due the district in March. It's a small percentage of the $56.8 million budget, but making it up nine months into the school year will be challenging.
He said the options to adjust the budget include spending reductions, use of reserves and fund balance, or a combination of both. The goal will be to have as little impact on students and staff as possible, he said.
"At this time, we will not be recommending a reduction of teaching staff or other employees. We will look for expenditure reductions in areas that do not immediately impact students and program," he said in a prepared statement.
Hamburg is one of four districts in New York State that did not have its Annual Professional Performance Review plan approved by the state Education Department by Thursday's deadline. By missing the deadline, the school districts forfeit a portion of state aid for this year – money they have already counted on and put into their budgets.
New York State United Teachers spokesman Carl Korn said the union will continue to provide whatever guidance and assistance Hamburg teachers need.
"In any negotiation, trust is paramount, so one of the first steps for the Hamburg School District will be to rebuild trust with teachers, and that will be necessary to move the process forward," Korn said.
The other districts that did not get their plans approved by the state in time are Pine Plains Central in Dutchess County, Fallsburg Central in Sullivan County and New York City, according to Korn.
"I'm disappointed that an agreement on this plan could not be reached," said Erie 1 BOCES Superintendent Don Ogilvie. "It's not at all like Hamburg to have not found a way to come together."
He should know. Ogilvie used to be superintendent of the district; he still lives in the district; and he has two grandchildren attending Hamburg schools.
"I would not want those boys in any other school in any other district," Ogilvie said. "I know the quality exists. Hamburg has found itself in a dilemma right now. It's not the loss of heart, it's not the loss of commitment."
Achramovitch said a tentative agreement was reached in June, but over time it became clear the union had concerns with it. The two sides met in December and came to a second agreement, which was not approved by teachers. They voted down a third tentative agreement Jan. 11.
The two sides were close to reaching an agreement Tuesday, when negotiations broke off after the union said an administrator told some staffers their jobs could be affected if the plan was not approved. The administration told union negotiators the comment was not meant to be taken as a threat, but negotiations broke off.
"That does not mean that going forward they cannot craft a plan, they cannot come together as an organization," Ogilvie said.

Comparing Car Types
In making this comparison, we assumed that cost is a key factor. (If you can afford to buy that brand-new BMW, you probably don't need this guide). The crucial points are:

Top 10 Mistakes Young Drivers Make
It's no secret that teen drivers are at greater risk for accidents than older adults. Here are some of the most common mistakes young drivers make. Read more
- Initial affordability
- Depreciation
- Length of warranty
- Loss of car if totaled
In addition to cost, we compared new economy cars to cars at two age milestones to demonstrate the differences in each of these categories:
- Initial depreciation
- End of basic warranty
- End of drivetrain warranty
Also influencing this analysis is the fact that the youngest drivers are considered highly likely to bust up their first car.
|Comparing Car Types
|Weigh the pros and cons of new economy cars, 2-year-old used midsize cars and 5-year-old used cars in various categories.
|New economy
|New equipment; dual front airbags standard
|Small, light cars are less safe*
|2-year-old used
|May be safer than new economy car; safer than older cars
|No distinct disadvantage
|5-year-old used
|No distinct advantage
|System failure a possibility; fewer, less refined safety systems
|New economy
|Choice of options
|Base models have few features; not much style
|2-year-old used
|All styles available; more features for less money
|No choice on options
|5-year-old used
|More versions of each model available; more features for less
|No choice on options; condition is a greater factor
|New economy
|Good selection of vehicles in the $10,000 to $15,000 range
|You pay more for new cars; extras drive up price
|2-year-old used
|Greatest depreciation has passed
|Midsize used sedan for price of new economy car
|5-year-old used
|Lowest price
|The best-kept vehicles are more expensive; more repairs are likely
|New economy
|You're likely to have to carry full insurance
|Depreciation cost can't be recovered; insurance may increase when collecting a replacement settlement
|2-year-old used
|If insurance refunds the market value, and that's the price you originally paid, you break even on the settlement
|If not insured, you carry the loss; if insured, your premiums may increase
|5-year-old used
|Least cash loss of the three scenarios
|Without full coverage, you have no car and no money
|New economy
|Least likely to need repair; under warranty
|2-year-old used
|Still under warranty in most cases; powertrain warranties may last longer and manufacturers may extend warranties on certified pre-owned cars
|In some cases, warranty has ended; you'll pay more to get a certified pre-owned car
|5-year-old used
|Cars last longer than ever; some warranties exceed five years
|More frequent repairs; most warranties have expired
*In 2005, small cars from 1 to 3 years old accounted for 106 driver deaths per 1 million registered passenger vehicles. Midsize cars from 1 to 3 years old accounted for 70 driver deaths per 1 million registered passenger vehicles.

Kathy Helmick, a long-time breast cancer survivor, told Monday's gathering at Jawbone Park in Buckhannon that she wants to help others beat the disease, saying a lack of time and a lack of money are no reasons to put off preventative care.
"I want to make sure I can reduce your excuse," she said at the event kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Upshur County. "There's no excuse for putting off a mammogram. Take the time to get your examination."
The director of the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening program, Helmick said there is funding and medical staff in place to help those women ages 50-64 without health insurance get necessary care, such as yearly mammograms.
"We know it does find breast cancer early," she said. "That's how I found mine, and it would have been two years before it would have been noticed in a self-examination."
Dr. Susan Long, a surgeon at St. Joseph's Hospital in Buckhannon, said she feels "blessed" to be practicing medicine during a time when so much research is being done. She recalled how that was not the case when she was just starting her career in medicine.
"We have to give thanks for the women who came before us and made a big noise in the 1980s," she said.
But many of those life-saving programs are in jeopardy, another doctor said, as Congress looks for ways to slash the federal budget. Dr. Kimberly Farry urged the women in the audience to write their representatives and to invite lawmakers to fund-raising walks to show the importance of the programs and continued funding for research.
Should a family member receive that dreaded diagnosis, there is a support group in Buckhannon to help ease the burden on the recipient and her family and friends. The Breast Cancer Support Group meets at 7 p.m. on the third Monday of each month at the South Buckhannon Mission Church.
"When I lived in Maryland, we had a good support group, and it was very helpful the first time I was diagnosed," said Barbara Murray, who noted she recently learned the cancer reappeared after 14 years.
Murray told the women they have to be vigilant in their efforts to prevent breast cancer.
"You have to be constantly on the alert," she said. "Just because it's been a while, doesn't mean it won't come back."

I rarely actively dislike any of our guys. It takes a lot to make me really not like someone. But of guys we have now that are actually playing, the guy who irritates me the most, who I think I'd love to see shipped out at this point, it's not surprisingly Mr. Franzen. I'd give him a lot more benefit of the doubt if he didn't say so many stupid things to top off his lazy, colossally inconsistent play. He could be so much better than he is, but he just doesn't seem to be able to consistently put forth the work ethic. That he is largely the reason Holland passed on Hossa does him no favors either...
Edited by gcom007, 23 April 2014 - 01:06 PM.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 01:33 PM
Mikael Samuelsson, Jason Williams, and now Johan Franzen.
Franzen has 8 points and 1 goal in the last 21 games. This is including the crunch-time regular season stretch where we needed our team firing on all cylinders to make it into the playoffs and then the playoffs themselves. This man is a fraud. I'm sorry, but that doesn't cut it for the 3rd highest paid (albeit healthy) forward on the team who happens to also be signed for the next 6 years.
I'm glad that I, like many others here, will have the opportunity to stay frustrated at our least favorite Red Wing (barring some miracle that he's bought out or traded) for more than the next half a decade. Cheers.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 01:36 PM
Franzen. Hate him, have since day one. My buddies ragged on me in 2008 when I kept saying he wasn't that good, now they agree with me. Man I wish we signed Hossa instead. At this point I just want Franzen gone, don't care just get rid of him.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 01:40 PM
I don't blame any of the players as much as I blame Holland and Babcock.
Responsibility should start at the top and it's the main reason why our defense sucks, or we don't have enough grit, scoring wingers, etc. Those two have been carrying a mediocre squad around for a few years now.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 01:47 PM
The thing I'll say about Mule, is he may still not be right after the concussion, that may be tough for some folks to swallow, but he may still be recovering.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 02:27 PM
People should think about why Babcock, when asked about Franzen's performance, brought up Datsyuk's injury.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 02:49 PM
I don't generally "dislike" any Red Wings players, just get frustrated with some at different points.
At this juncture, I have to say my biggest frustration comes from Kindl.
His re-signing last summer was a panic move gambling on the hope that he continued to play like he did for a chunk of a shortened season. Last summer was the last time he was eligible for RFA status, and he should've been given a one year deal to show that he could keep playing like last season. That way, they could've discussed a long term lockup if he stayed in the top 4, or let him walk as a UFA if he back tracked (like he's done this season).
Now, he's back at being a #6/7 guy, while Quincey has seemed to finally carve out a spot as a #4/5 guy. If the tides were turned and Kindl was a UFA this summer, they could retain Quincey and add a good RH PP QB, or also let Quincey walk and get a solid defensive Dman as well. Instead the Red Wings really have one opening to improve on the blueline and will still have Kindl and Smith as question marks and the #4 spot potentially remaining a revolving door.
Kindl's contract probably also makes him hard to move, or get a decent return for. What would you give up for Dman under contract for 3 more years with a $2.4 cap hit that lost his job to Brian Lashoff when everyone was healthy?
Posted 23 April 2014 - 02:49 PM
The thing I'll say about Mule, is he may still not be right after the concussion, that may be tough for some folks to swallow, but he may still be recovering.
Your right about that, he does have a history of head problems. Look at 2008. I just don't think the Wings should invest any more time in him. Trade him, buy him out, whatever just wash your hands of him.

He's had a concussion since 2010? I mean, I WANT to defend Franzen and I have on numerous occasions. But at some point, enough excuses. Sure, everyone goes through hot and cold stretches. But not to the extreme that he does. There have been far too many stretches like this for it to be blamed on injuries. If he is hurt, sit him out. He's of no benefit to the team whatsoever.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 05:27 PM
Glendening. I'm sure he's a great kid, but he produces zero offense. I don't understand the love affair Babs has with him, for a team that is offense starved the last few years, why bring on a guy that produces nothing? He's in the top 5 of least producing Wing forwards we've EVER had, I think top 3 actually. So what if he brings his lunch pail to work every day... he just doesn't produce anything while at work. Most companies fire you for that.
Hes on this team because every line has a role. Glendenning fits the shutdown center role EXTREMELY well
Dats is now able to play against other team's 2,3,4 line because glendenning is somehow capable of shutting down other teams top centers.
Not every player needs to provide offence, especially a 4th liner
As per the thread:
I despise Quincey Kindl Bertuzzi and right now Franzen

Pavel datsyuk is the best player in the world because he snatches the puck from unsuspecting players and follows it up by the simultaneous undressing of the defence pairing. The goalie then gives up, and flops like a fish. The end result is a calm skate back to his bench where he can bask in the praise of his multiple girlfriends from the motherland.
Posted 23 April 2014 - 05:43 PM
mule - lazy, super talented but just too dang lazy.
kindl - easily our worst defender. craps his pants every time he touches the puck. soft. gets scored on a lot. oullett, march, and sproul could step in right now and be better than him.
miller - easily replaceable. terrible at offense, its just time for him to go.
holland - gets boned on trades, doesnt do a whole lot right these days.

His job is to be a shut-down center. But since the complaint is that he doesn't score... well he's currently tied for the team lead in goals in these playoffs

HEDGESVILLE - A single-vehicle accident claimed three lives Friday afternoon in Hedgesville.
A call received by Berkeley County Central Dispatch at approximately 5:30 p.m. indicated a truck had struck a tree near the intersection of Wishbone Circle and Conservation Drive.
The Chevy Silverado pickup truck was carrying six passengers, according to Deputy C. Cochran of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department. Five of the passengers were trapped. Two of these passengers, including a small child, were transported by medics to Berkeley Medical Center and then flown by helicopter to DC Medstar and Children's Hospital, according to a press release issued by the sheriff's department later in the evening. The release also said another child was transported to Berkeley Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries.

Rescue helicopter Md. State Trooper 5 takes off with an injured child while paramedics quickly move an injured adult into the Life Net Medical Transport Helicopter Friday afternoon after a bad accident on Wishbone Circle in Hedgesville.
"Two were flown out, three were taken by ambulance. Two of those three were then flown, and the other one is still in the hospital," Cochran said.
The other three passengers, according to the release, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident and later transported to Brown's Funeral Home.
The location on Conservation Drive was marked up with yellow tape to mark the scene, as investigating officers set up equipment to reenact the accident.
Tire tracks in the roped off area appeared in the grass on either side of the roadway.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Department is currently investigating the accident, and will provide more details as they become available. Officers were assisted by fire crews from Hedgesville, Martinsburg and Bedington and by medics from the Berkeley County Ambulance Authority.
Criminal charges will be pending the outcome of the investigation, according to the news release.

When it comes to diets, country superstar Trisha Yearwood has been there, done that.
"I don't think you can name one diet I haven't done. I'm that girl who buys every magazine where somebody's lost 30 lbs.," the Grammy-winning singer tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.
"I guess a part of me didn't want to hear that it's just really hard work!"
Lately, however, her hard work has paid off. Yearwood, 48, is now showing off her brand new body after dropping 30 lbs. in the past four months.
"I designed my own plan that's low-fat, low-sugar 90 percent of the time," says the country star.
The other 10 percent of the time, she indulges in her favorite foods – but in moderation and with the motivation to work it off the next day.
"There's no way you never fall off the wagon," says the best-selling cookbook author, whose go-to workout is taking Zumba classes at least three times a week. "I fell in love with it!"
Down from a "tight size 14" to a slim size 10, the star of Food Network's Trisha's Southern Kitchen is feeling fearless.
"I have a strength I never had before," she says. "I feel like I can do anything."
For all the details on how Trisha got her new body – including a peek at the inspiration board she hangs in her closet! – pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Show #3839
Jon Hamm, Ricky Jay, and The So So Glos.
PLUS: History of Biting in Sports; GWBush: Not Good With Numbers; the new $100 bill; Dave in an elevator; Stooge of the Night; and is there a doctor in the house?
" . . . and now, the driver of the Wells Fargo truck . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
-"It's 'Take Your Son Ro Daughter To Work Day,' though because of the economy, for many it was 'Take Your Son or Daughter To Where You Used To Work.'"
During a recent Premiere League soccer game, a player named Luis Suarez was caught biting a defenseman and was suspended for 10 games. This is not the first time a biting incident has taken place in professional sports. We take a look.
ART CARD: "History Of Biting In Sports"
ANNOUNCE: "Soccer" – we cut to footage of the above incident.
"Boxing" – we cut to footage of Mike Tyson taking a chomp out of Evander Holyfield's ear.
"Bodybuilding" – we cut to Arnold Schwarzenegger explaining the art of biting using a carrot: "Biting."
ANNOUNCE: "See you next time on 'History of Biting in Sports.'"
George W. Bush sat down with Diane Sawyer last night, which inspired this new segment called, "George W. Bush: Not Good With Numbers."
DIANE SAWYER: "Do you have one word for the Republican Party today?"
GWBUSH: "You will exist in the future."
The Federal Reserve is releasing a newly designed $100 bill and they've added an assortment of high-tech security features. We take a look at this summary.
ANNOUNCE: "Introducing the newly redesigned $$100 bill, now enhanced with state-of-the-art security features, including a 3D security ribbon, a counterfeit-proof portrait watermark, and if someone tries to steal your wallet, the new $$100 bill will do this:"
We cut to Benjamin Franklin on the "hundred' screaming like a ninny.
ANNOUNCE: "The Federal Reserve: Working For You."
The economy is so bad, the new $100 bill is a fifty.
Did you hear about this? A guy in Austria was trapped inside a stuck elevator for . . . . four days! It reminded Dave of the similar harrowing experience he had recently.
Security footage shows us Dave entering an elevator. And then we see there is no escape. Trapped, Dave does whatever he can to keep his mind busy, to keep sharp, simply to keep alive. Hours pass, then days. And then the elevator opens and enters another. He presses his floor button. He says to a cowering Letterman in the corner of the elevator car, "Helps if you press the button, idiot."
Time now for "When Did We First See That Clip?" The above elevator clip was a re-use. How long ago was it?
Answer: 2008. And here's something real exciting, it was almost exactly 5 years to the day: April 24, 2008. Share that with only a select few friends . . . friends who understand your emotional attachment to the Late Show.
Hey, Alan, what time is it?
ALAN: "It's time for 'Stooge of the Night!' Tonight's stooge of the night is Democratic Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas."
We stay on a photo of Senator Mark Pryor.
DAVE: "Senator Mark Pryor voted 'NO' on gun reform legislation even though as a state legislator in Arkansas he authored four gun control bills that included background checks.
'Hi, please call me 'Mark.' What can I do to put you in a LeSabre?'
It's Mark Pryor, and he is our Stooge of the Night.
The preceding message was brought to you buy Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House.
Star of the big popular "Mad Men" on the AMC. I'm not sure why it's called "Mad Men." All the men seem to be having one helluva time. "Mad Men" just finished taping their 6th season and Jon will soon be off to shoot a baseball-themed movie in India. Jon loves baseball, loves to travel, but isn't much of a fan of getting vaccination shots when traveling. He had to get whole bunch of shots against Hepatitis A&B, tetanus, yellow fever encephalitis . . . and for malaria all you have to do is take a pill. Big tough guy, handsome guy, Jon Hamm is afraid of needles. Dave calls him "a baby." Jon would like to protest, but . . . . He'll be in India for about 3 weeks and hopes to get back in as good of shape as when he leaves.
Upon graduating college, Jon became a school teacher at his former St. Louis High School, a real "Welcome Back, Kotter" guy. He taught 8th through 11th grade, boys and girls. Of all the kids, he found the 8th grade boys to be the worst. They were absolutely horrible. I've heard the same from many people. Nothing worse than 8th grade boys. Jon says the 8th graders were the oldest in the junior high school. They thought they were all that. Loud, obnoxious, immature, dumb. The one pleasure he had was knowing they would be moving on to 9th grade and be the bottom of the barrel. They'd be going through a correction phase.
While talking about his baseball movie, Jon mentioned a pitching coach who was hired to advise and teach the India youth about baseball. The pitching coach is Tom House. OK, baseball fans, what is Tom House best known for?
Hint: April 8, 1974.
Answer: While in the Atlanta Braves bullpen, he caught Hank Aaron's 715th home run which broke Babe Ruth's record.
"Mad Men" – Sunday nights at 10:00 PM on the AMC. My favorite is Peggy.
Dave at the desk. He . . we all . . . hear the beeping of a pager. It's someone in the audience.
DAVE: "Is everything OK?"
SURGEON: "So sorry to interrupt but there's an emergency at the hospital."
DAVE: "Oh, of course."
SURGEON: "I'm a thoracic surgeon over at Mt. Sinai. Need to get to the O.R. right away." (though he is making little effort to leave)
DAVE: "I understand. Good luck to you."
SURGEON: "Thank you. You know, I've been doing this a long time, but that split second before making my first incision, I still feel this rush of terror. Oddly enough, it's that terror that helps me perform at my best.
DAVE: "That's fascinating, but . . . ."
SURGEON: "Gosh, I remember the first person I ever performed surgery on. Her name was Bella Lawrence. Wonderful woman. Very risky surgery. Right before the anesthesia kicked in she says to me . . ."
DAVE: "Excuse me, doctor . . . ."
SURGEON: "She says to me, 'Doctor Foley, I' m so scared. ' And I look her right in the eyes and say, 'Me, too. But we'll get through this together, I promise.' And it's those days that you're thankful for."
DAVE: "I'm sorry, but the emergency . . . . ."
SURGEON: (getting up) "You're right. I can get carried away sometimes . . . which reminds me of something my Medical School instructor used to say . . . . . he used to say, 'Foley, shut up' . . . . and . . . . well, I gotta go. Mt. Sinai, was it? If you ever need a thoracic surgeon, I'm on Facebook . . . Dr. Martin Foley . . . "
And he exits out the back.
Big KUDOS to Dr. Foley. All that without cue cards! And he didn't have all that much time to prepare. I really don't know how they do that.
Whenever we have someone in the audience, whether it's a professional or a staffer, we don't use cue cards. We don't want to ruin the illusion for the audience.
Going into commercial: Photo Club photo --- it's stage manager Eddie Valk
ANNOUNCE: "Get back here Monday for Dave and his guests Mindy Kaling, former CIA analyst Nada Bakos, and Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite! And now, Eye Exercise With Alan!"
We see a live shot of Alan. He is moving his eyes up, down, this way and that.
ALAN: "Yeah, that's it. Feel it. Nice job."
Sleight-of-hand artist, Ricky was very interesting in his obvious passion for his craft and a real student of its history. His love of magic started as a young boy, sharing the fervor handed down by his grandfather. He then speaks with love for the greats, like Slydini and Dai Vernon and Max Malini and Charlie Miller.
Ricky is the subject of a documentary film, "Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay." One part of the film stuck with Dave. Ricky performs a sleight-of-hand of changing two one-dollar bills into one two-dollar bill. One observer hounded Ricky on how he did it. And hounded and hounded and hounded. One day this guy followed Ricky into the shower. There could be no two-dollar bill up his sleeve there. The guy gave Ricky two one-dollars and made him do the trick. And he did it. Dave appreciates the secrecy in the magician world but wants to know how he did it. Dave doesn't want to actually know how . . . . but how, if that makes any sense.
Ricky Jay then performs a card trick for Dave.
Me? I used to like magic a lot, but as I've gotten older it now just frustrates me to no end. I find myself getting angry with my inability to figure out the how. Maybe it's envy.
Ricky Jay --- liked it a lot.
THE SO SO GLOS: From their album, "Blowout," The So So Glos performed "Son Of An American."
And that was our show for Friday, April 26, 2013.
Listening to Ricky Jay talk about magic and sleight-of-hand artistry reminded me of something I read about WC Fields. WC Fields was a fabulous juggler and says he spent as much time perfecting his craft as Vivaldi did on violin, or Chopin on piano. Ricky Jay has probably done the same.
And me and blogging.
George Jones died, said by many to have the greatest country singing voice of all time. I'll have to look it up but I recall Dave once saying that if you are in that certain mood and the time is just right . . . . and George Jones comes on the radio singing, "He Stopped Lovin' Her Today" . . . . boy, oh, boy, it can grab you right by the throat and not let go. Go ahead and give ol' George a listen right now.
I'm planning on taking my girls to see the film "The Sapphires," mainly to expose them to the greatness of Sam and Dave. I've been trying to hook them on to their music but so far, no go. Hopefully this film will do it. If I can get them to take Sam & Dave and Janis Joplin to college with them in a year-and-a-half, I'll be a happy man.
Is it me or do you do this too? No disrespect intended. When you go to a Chinese restaurant, do you ask for an "egg wo"? I don't mean to but that's the way it always comes out.
George Jones: He sang country when country was country
Finally! A nice weekend coming ahead! I'll be planting my new invention, the flower tree. It's a vertical garden! Watch for it on my future website.
Did I ever tell you how my father was responsible for the audio at Woodstock? Remind me to share that one day.
Ahhh, it's their 11th Anniversary, congratulations to Tara Callahan DeGeorge and Joe DeGeorge.

When it comes to giving back, the approach is simple for the folks at SOL Mount Pleasant; it's do their part. SOL offers several opportunities to support local organizations, just by eating, drinking and having fun. Each month the owners select a different charity.
Customers simply join them for lunch, dinner or lounging and enjoy that month's signature menu items. It's called Kitchen Karma and $1 from each featured cocktail and signature dish will go to that local charity. "It's contributions from our kitchen to benefit your community cause," explained David Clark, owner.
The concept of the restaurant, developed by local restaurateurs David Clark, Andy Palmer and Joe Sciortino, is to serve as a neighborhood restaurant for everything from family meals to business lunches, date nights and happy hours.
Clark said all three owners live in Mount Pleasant.
"We are part of the community and right from the get-go we wanted our philosophy to be about more than just using local vendors, suppliers and food. We wanted to be part of the local community and one way to do that was to create Kitchen Karma," he said. "We wanted to show people that this is what we are about."
"In addition," he added, "this was a way to get the customer involved, too."
"It was more than just writing a check to our favorite charity," he said.
"Kitchen Karma highlights a menu item and a drink from our fresh margarita list. And we donate a dollar for each menu item sold."
November and December's featured charity was the Charleston Animal Society. From mid-November through December, they raised over $1,700 for the Charleston Animal Society.
Louie's Kids is the beneficiary of Kitchen Karma through the end of February.
"Kitchen Karma brings awareness to a local charity or group where money stays local," said Clark. "Some of our customers may never have heard of the group, so we're bringing awareness and showing customers why we're supporting a particular group's efforts. It's a win-win for everyone."
Locally owned and operated, SOL blends the bold flavors of the Southwest with our own Southern culinary influences.
That means a true "from scratch" kitchen and wood fire grill, so you really taste the fire. All dishes start from scratch and are prepared to order.
Other giving opportunities at SOL include SOL Spirit Nights. If you represent a local nonprofit or school, an SOL Spirit Night is just for you. They'll set a date to host your group at the restaurant and then donate 10 percent of your purchases to your organization.
SOL is now open Monday – Sunday at 11 a.m. They are located at 1101 Stockade Lane, Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Call 843-388-4302 or visit SOLMtPleasant.com for more information.

Five things to look for as Penn State tries to remain unbeaten against Temple since 1941.
No. 1: Owls not same
Temple gave Penn State a scare last year in Philadelphia before losing, 14-10, and the program that hit rock bottom before Al Golden rebuilt it is still in decent shape under second-year coach Steve Addazio.
However, people who think Temple is still on the rise and improving every year should realize this Owls team is not as good as last year's squad, or that of recent years.
Temple has only three starters back on offense and five on defense from a team that went 9-4 overall and 5-2 in the MAC. Stud running back Bernard Pierce graduated, there's a new starting quarterback in Chris Coyer and a suspect offensive line.
Penn State doesn't have as good of a team as it did last year, but the Lions have much more talent than Temple on both sides of the ball. While this might not be a blowout like Nittany Lion fans used to see against the Owls, it shouldn't be anywhere near as close as last season.
No. 2: Looks good for PSU
Penn State is going to have a tough time beating teams that throw the ball well. But Temple isn't one of those teams.
Addazio wants to run the ball, and the Lions should be able to stop the Owls on the ground. Coyer has just 239 yards passing on only 12 completions through two games, and it's doubtful he can take advantage of the Lions' unproven secondary.
Temple is more balanced than Navy - virtually every team is - but unless Coyer has a career game, he's not the kind of quarterback and doesn't have the kind of weapons at receiver to do a lot of damage through the air. The Owls' top receiver has only four catches so far.
Given all that, it should be noted the Owls are coming off a bye week, so Addazio and his staff could have installed some new elements for this game. If you're Temple, you should throw everything including the kitchen sink at PSU in hopes of picking up one of the program's biggest wins ever.
SUBHD: No. 3: In the trenches
Penn State defensive tackles Jordan Hill and DaQuan Jones would be the players to watch for No. 5 below if not for the intriguing story regarding Temple running back Montel Harris.
The interior of Temple's offensive line is questionable, so Hill and Jones should be able to control things up front, help stifle the Owls' running game and get pressure on Coyer.
SUBHD: No. 4: Ficken's kickin'
Sam Ficken needs to make at least one or two decent-length field goals today for PSU, not to mention all of his PAT attempts.
The Big Ten season starts next week, and if the Lions are going to win three or four league games, at least one or two of them likely will come down to a field goal here or there from Ficken. The young man needs confidence, and the only way he's going to get that is to make some kicks.
And Bill O'Brien needs to let him try.
SUBHD: No. 5: Player to watch
As hinted at earlier, Harris has a fascinating background. He's coming off a hamstring injury suffered in week one, and if healthy, he could be a problem for the Lions' defense.
Harris rushed for an ACC-record 3,735 yards in three seasons at Boston College. He entered the season with more career yards than any other BCS conference player, plus he has 22 career 100-yard games.
Harris wound up at Temple after getting dismissed from the BC squad for a violation of team rules. He played in only two games at BC in 2011 because of a knee injury and received a medical redshirt.
Harris probably isn't the player he once was before his injuries, but he's had great success in his career, and PSU needs to be wary of him.
Matt Brown, who's coming off an ankle injury, is Temple's leading rusher (88 yards per game) and also will be a big focus of the Lions' defense.
Prediction: Penn State 30, Temple 13

The Penn Cambria School District didn't look far for its next athletic director and high school football coach.
The Penn Cambria School Board approved the hiring of Cresson's Chuck Terek as AD and Penn Cambria graduate Jason Grassi as football coach at a scheduled meeting Tuesday night.
"We're real excited to find two such high-caliber candidates from within the district,'' Penn Cambria superintendent Mary Beth Whited said. "It's always a plus when they're part of the community. We were fortunate to have several good internal applications. We have high expectations and believe these two can deliver.''
Article Photos
Terek, 51, is a 1979 Forest Hills High School graduate who has played, coached and refereed at the high school and college levels. He has 25 years in management and finance and spent the last three years working toward his master's degree in human resources at St. Francis University and helping with fund-raising for the Red Flash football team.
He will officially begin his new duties, which is a full-time position, on March 11. He will succeed Ernie Fetzer, who stepped down as AD and football coach on Oct. 24.
"I recently went back to get my emergency substitute teaching certificate,'' Terek said. "I sub-taught the last few years and really enjoyed the interaction with the children. I also, a few years back, coached a group of kids who are now Penn Cambria athletes. It will be nice to get back in the sports side [of business].''
Terek and his wife, Kimberly, have two children in the Penn Cambria School District - Shannon, a senior, and Daniel, a freshman.
Grassi, 35, lives in Altoona and is a science and math teacher at Penn Cambria Middle School. He graduated from Penn Cambria in 1996 and went on to play defensive tackle at Lock Haven University.
His coaching career included assistant positions at Bethany College, Lock Haven and Portage High School, where he spent four seasons under Gary Gouse. He coached the Penn Cambria eighth graders two years ago, the ninth graders in 2011 and was an assistant under Fetzer and interim coach Tony Tomaselli - Grassi's high school coach - with the Penn Cambria varsity this past season.
"I've put in a lot time, and this was one of my dreams to coach my alma mater,'' Grassi said. "I think being a young coach will help bring a little bit of excitement. We have a good tradition here at Penn Cambria, and I want to build on that tradition and take us to the next step.''
Grassi said he liked how the Penn Cambria football players worked through a difficult stretch this past season when Fetzer abruptly resigned.
"We lost four in a row, but our kids battled to win the last two games,'' Grassi said. "We just happened to run into Richland in the playoffs. That just shows these kids have a hard-nosed core group. They are working hard right now to get all the pieces in place for next season.''
Whited said Penn Cambria received 38 applications for the AD job and 16 for the football position. Only two candidates were eventually interviewed for the football position - Grassi and another in-house applicant.
"It took us awhile,'' Whited said, "but we're squared away now.''
