Financial Aid
Working With Financial Aid
How many hours must a student be enrolled?
A student must be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduates) in order to receive financial aid. However, students should be aware that many institutional scholarships and grants require full-time (12-16 hours) enrollment.
Does dropping classes affect financial aid?
Student financial aid awards are based on a specific number of hours, which is stated on the award notice. If a student is enrolled for more or less than these hours, the award may change, especially if the student has scholarships that require specific enrollment levels. If a student drops below required enrollment levels at any time during the semester, scholarships are removed from the award and the dollar amount is charged to the student's tuition account. If a student loses a scholarship, the student owes the college the amount of that scholarship.
If at any time a student changes his/her enrollment so that it is different from what the aid was based on, the financial aid award may be modified. Any tuition refund the student receives may be returned to the agency that provided financial assistance to the student, including banks, Westminster College, and the federal government. Students should check with the Financial Aid Office if they need more detailed information.
Do enrollment changes affect future eligibility?
Possibly, yes. Students who are receiving financial aid need to successfully complete 70% of the classes they enrolled for and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 in order to continue their eligibility for financial aid in the future (Satisfactory Progress requirement). Withdrawing, failing, or getting a no-credit for classes decreases the percentage of completed classes and can negatively affect a student's eligibility for future financial assistance. Students should be aware that they need to enroll for classes that they can complete successfully.
How should students deal with a Stafford Loan?
The financial aid award should indicate the maximum loan eligibility for the academic year. Students should apply for the amount they need for the whole academic year. Students will get half of that amount each fall and spring semester (fall, spring). Students must keep in mind that the loan amount they get will be reduced by 3% for the federal loan origination fee. In order to receive a student loan at Westminster College, students will need to complete an Entrance Counseling Session before they will receive the loan application to submit. The Entrance Counseling Session can be completed HERE by following the online instructions.
Once a student completes Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling, an e-mail will be sent to the Financial Aid Office confirming the completion of this requirement. Westminster receives funds through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). The loan funds will credit directly to the student's tuition account.
Can students get help with purchasing textbooks?
Westminster has an Emergency Loan Program to assist with book purchases. Students may apply for an Emergency Loan before school starts, but funds are not available until the Friday of the first week of the semester, and students must be enrolled during the current semester to obtain one. The maximum amount a student can borrow is $300, and it must be repaid within 90 days. To get an Emergency Loan for books, students must make a list of the books they need, with the prices, and take it to the Financial Aid Office.
How can students obtain a work-study job?
Work-study is part of a need-based financial aid award. Jobs are posted outside the Financial Aid Office or can be viewed online HERE by following the links. If work-study is on a student's financial aid award, the student is eligible to apply for those jobs. Check with the work-study coordinator in the Financial Aid Office for more information about eligibility. A work-study job fair is held during first-year student orientation. Students sign up for an interview and are generally hired by the third week of school.
Students should be aware that if they have a work-study position and are placed on academic probation, they may be asked to discontinue working in the program until they are returned to good standing.
What about next year's financial aid?
Students need to apply for need-based financial aid each year. Students can begin the process any time after January. They should watch for renewal applications in December or January, or pick up a new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from the Financial Aid Office.
If students have any questions about financial aid or about continuing grants and scholarships, they should contact the Financial Aid Office in Bamberger Hall, or call 832-2500.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Cory Giger and Neil Rudel recap Penn State's come-from-behind 39-28 win over No. 24 Northwestern on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions won their fourth straight game and now head into their bye week.
Article Video
Penn State 3, Northwestern 0: The Lions put together a good drive on their second series, converting two fourth downs (4 yards at the Northwestern 31 and 1 yard at the 10) and getting to first-and-goal at the 7. Two carries by Zach Zwinak netted only 3 yards, then Matt McGloin had a pass dropped at the goal line by tight end Kyle Carter on third down. Bill O'Brien decided against going for it from the 4, and Sam Ficken booted a 21-yard field goal with 3:41 left in the quarter. PSU dominated time of possession in the period (12:00 to 3:00) but had just the slim lead.
Penn State 10, Northwestern 0: PSU had great field position on its early drives because of the Wildcats' struggles on offense, and this one started at the Northwestern 40. McGloin hit Brandon Moseby-Felder for 15 yards on the first play, and on fourth-and-1 at the 16, McGloin converted with a sneak for 2 yards. It was all Zach Zwinak from there as he ran for 2 yards, then 11 down to the 1 before going over the top into the end zone with 9:34 left in the half.
Penn State 10, Northwestern 7: Jesse Della Valle fumbled a punt deep in his own territory, and the Wildcats recovered at the PSU 17. Kain Colter, who had been kept in check early, took off for 12 yards on a keeper down to the 5. Two plays later, Venric Mark took a pitch from Colter and scored from 3 yards out with 6:23 to go in the half. It was the first TD allowed by Penn State in the first half this season.
Northwestern 14, Penn State 10: The Wildcats got a break on a questionable pass interference call against PSU's Stephon Morris that enabled them to keep a drive alive late in the half. It was third-and-6 at the Wildcat 38, and the call on Morris moved Northwestern to the PSU 47. Trevor Siemian hit Mike Trumpy for 16 and 7 yards on consecutive plays to get to the 24, then found Demetrius Fields for 13 yards to the 11. On third-and-10, Siemian threaded the needle on an 11-yard TD strike to Tony Jones with 30 seconds left in the half.
Penn State 17, Northwestern 14: The Lions jumped back on top on their first drive of the second half, going 80 yards in 12 plays and getting an 8-yard TD pass from McGloin to Allen Robinson. Zwinak got things going on the ground with several tough runs, including a 15-yarder to the Northwestern 43. The Lions also took advantage of a pass interference call in the end zone against Wildcat cornerback Quinn Evans, who was trying to cover Robinson. That moved PSU to the 8, and two plays later McGloin hit Robinson in the middle of the field for the score with 7:17 left in the quarter.
Northwestern 21, Penn State 17: The Wildcats answered PSU's long TD drive with a good one of their own, going 71 yards in 11 plays. The combination of Venric Mark on the ground and Siemian through the air ignited Northwestern's offense. The Wildcats were called for holding late in the drive and faced second-and-16 at the PSU 24 before Siemian ran up the gut for a 15-yard keeper. Colter took over at quarterback on the next play, faked a handoff to Mark and bounced outside to the left for a 10-yard TD with 3:12 to go in the quarter.
Northwestern 28, Penn State 17: The Lions went three-and-out, actually going backwards 13 yards in three plays, and Alex Butterworth's punt was returned 75 yards for a TD by Mark with 50 seconds left in the quarter.
Northwestern 28, Penn State 25: The Lions went right to their NASCAR no-huddle offense after the punt return TD and came up with an 18-play, 72-yard TD drive. Zwinak got a lot of action on the drive, both on the ground and catching three passes, and fourth-and-4 from the 6, McGloin stepped up in the pocket and fired a bullet to Robinson in the end zone with 9:49 to play. Bill O'Brien went for two, and Michael Zordich took a handoff and rumbled into the end zone to make it a three-point game.
Penn State 32, Northwestern 28: The Lions took the lead for good with a 15-play, 85-yard drive and scored on McGloin's 5-yard keeper with 2:37 to go. Penn State continued to run the NASCAR offense and mixed the pass and throw on the drive. The key play came on fourth-and-2 from the Wildcat 19 as McGloin found Moseby-Felder for 13 yards to set up first-and-goal at the 6. The Lions avoided disaster on second down from the 4 when McGloin fumbled but recovered, then he took it in on the next play.
Penn State 39, Northwestern 28: Northwestern turned it over on downs, and Zordich scored from 3 yards out with 1:30 to go.

CHARLES TOWN - Photographer Sterling "Rip" Smith has always had an affinity for architecture, the image and the story. After hearing about the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, W. Va. Sterling decided to pay the infamous stone mason facility a visit.
Captivated by the size and condition of the historic site, Smith set out to do a study of the property using the power of the lens.
"I was immediately hooked," he said. "I said, 'I need to photograph this building.'"

A wispy white cloud against a deep blue sky above the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum gives the impression of spirits rising from the clock tower.
Over the course of a few months and several trips to Weston, Smith's latest book, "Asylum," was created. An exhibit at the Washington Street Artists' Cooperative in Charles Town will feature 20 images from the book.
"The images are an exploration of an extraordinary historical site in the heart of rural West Virginia," a press release said.
Built in the 19th century, Smith said the asylum was designed to provide patients with as much sunlight and air as possible.
"That was considered to be healing," Smith said.
The building was also built to hold only 250 patients, but was quickly overfilled.
"(It) got out of control very fast," Smith said. "By all accounts, they were really just crammed in together like sardines, and it was very, very bad."
Smith thought it important to photograph the building for those reasons - to be able to tell the story of the history of mental illness and the evolution of treatment.
"On one hand, the support and the building of these asylums in the 19th century represented recognition that mentally ill people needed medical-type treatment and needed treatment rather than being stuck away in a jail," he said. "But, because they had so little real knowledge about what mental illness was about, by today's standards, a lot of the treatment was considered ... barbaric."
He found that to be difficult, because of the emptiness of the building. There were not a lot of indicators left behind as to what specifically went on there. Smith decided to focus on the mood of the asylum instead.
"I tried to capture the feel of the place strictly by the way the light filters in through the windows and looking down the halls, you see light coming through the doors," Smith said.
Smith also had in mind the importance of historic preservation when photographing the building. He was impressed by the condition it had been kept in, as well as its use for tours and a museum.
"He bought it with the idea that he wanted to preserve it and restore it. And I thought that was a really good thing, because buildings like this are constantly in danger, unless somebody makes a commitment to them," he said.
While the project is primarily visual, Smith did a fair amount of historical research to give context to his images and make a complex project more cohesive.
"This was more a matter of being able to actually compile a project where it had a number of layers," Smith said.
The exhibit will be on display at 108 North George Street in Charles Town beginning Sept. 26. A reception will be held at the gallery from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 6.

I can feel it in the air that is beginning to get a chill at night. I can see it in the dusk that comes before 9 p.m., and even hear it in the sound of marching bands practicing.
Summer is almost over.
I am an avowed summerholic. I've written about summer before. Summer is a brightly colored Popsicle. Summer is a breeze tinged with the scent of sea air, the sound of a wave sweeping the sand. Summer is three months-plus of the world giving you a deck chair and saying, "Kick back."
Winter, despite its serenity and quiet beauty, is the devil. All the poetry and picturesque landscapes it inspires don't change the fact that in a few months, driving will become a frozen gauntlet of death.
I achieved many of my summer goals. I kayaked, I festivaled. I sunned, I funned. Money and time kept me from stuff like going on vacation, or to an amusement park. Nonetheless, a good time was had. And there's still plenty of time for more.
That being said, here's an end-of-summer checklist to ensure that when I'm struggling to feel my extremities underneath several cubic feet of wool, I can look back at a summer well done and say, "Boy, that was nice." I'll try to get as much of it done as I can before the end of the Canfield Fair. All of you can have a go at it as well:
Have a party. I used to have epic parties. I ran into a friend I see less often than the blue moon, and he waxed nostalgic about a party I had years ago. Then I thought about the other friends I don't see as much as I like to, and a party seems like a good solution. As soon as I summon the will to clean the house.
Visit Lake Erie. Since many waterways have been reduced to puddles of stinky carp and ancient beer cans because of the drought, Lake Erie was worth the drive to have a bigger expanse to swim and boat. There's several different sites to visit, all well within a tank of gas, round-trip. The water may be cooler now than it was in July, but I'm no sissy. One of Ohio's best assets.
Cook out. My grill has been sadly underutilized this summer, as well my dad's. These grill sins of me and my father shall be rectified. A nice cut of fish, or a thick steak, can soothe your soul with just a sizzle. I want to try grilled peaches and tofu again, too. Dad, can a Labor Day picnic be arranged?
Sit in the grass and feel the sun on my skin. Simple enough. Everyone should stop whatever they're doing in their hectic day and do this at least once more before the grass and sun are just a distant memory.
Ride a ride. So many festivals and whatnot, and I have yet to ride a ride this summer. Nonsense! This means that at the Canfield Fair, I must dangle my feet from the Yo-Yo and possibly lose a shoe, or be crammed into one side of the cart in the Scrambler as it spins around wildly, or scream like a little girl on that thing that looks like a big Viking ship that goes in a circle.
Deep-fried everything. If the Canfield Fair doesn't have those fried Kool-Aid balls, I'm making them myself. Don't judge.
Ride my bike. My bike tires have been flat all summer. Shame on me. An evening bike ride is always a summer joy.
Go for ice cream without putting my shoes on. You can get away with this when you're a kid - dropping everything and jumping in the car when someone says "Dairy Queen" barefoot and perhaps still in your swimsuit. Maybe I'll put that to the test. But minus the swimsuit and plus actual clothes.
So, take a book to the beach. Catch a lightning bug and let it go. Squirt a squirt gun, or throw a water balloon, if that's your thing. Sit on a patio. Listen to the crickets. Even out your driver's-side tan. Whatever you end up doing, have a good rest of the summer. Now, six months of crud.
What's on your end-of-summer checklist? Share it at firstname.lastname@example.com, or comment on this story at www.tribtoday.com.

The members of the rock band Bon Jovi have cranked out music for three decades, and they aren't planning to stop any time soon. In fact, with their new world tour, "Because We Can - The Tour," and their new album, "What About Now," due out March 26, keyboardist David Bryan considers them better than ever.
In a January phone interview that also included guitarist Richie Sambora and drummer Tico Torres, Bryan explained how they keep up a demanding pace and said they will continue to keep rocking.
"How do we keep it up?," he said. "Because that's what we do; we're musicians and we love to play and make music. And with every album we get better and with every tour we get better and it's fun, and we just keep going.

The members of Bon Jovi, who are about to begin an 18-month world tour, are (from left) Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, Jon Bon Jovi and David Bryan.
"I guess now really the Rolling Stones are the gate, so I guess we've got 'til 70-something, so we've got another couple years there. And we just keep going on."
The band headed by lead singer Jon Bon Jovi will keep going on when they hit the Bryce Jordan Center stage Feb. 23 as part of their approximately 18-month multi-country tour.
You have to physically prepare for a tour that long, Sambora said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Bon Jovi "Because We Can - The Tour"
Where: Bryce Jordan Center, University Park
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23. Doors open an hour before the show.
Tickets: $19.50-$129.50
Details: Tickets went on sale Jan. 25. No cameras are permitted.
"But once you get out there, you get in a groove, man, and like Dave said, this is what we love to do," he said. "Fortunately, it's an anomaly that we still all get along together and have a great time playing together and we're still making good music that people want to hear."
The overall feeling going into the tour is great, Bryan said.
"We got another world tour that we've been privileged to be able to play and we're going to go out there and do what we do as a rock band - kick ass," he said.
Sambora credits touring and loyalty from and to their fans with the bands longevity and ability to attract generations of fans.
"Obviously it starts with our dedication to touring and we've always had that adage that we would play everywhere we could in the world and take our music to every place we could," Sambora said.
"We've been very, very loyal to our fans and consequently our fans have been very loyal to us. We just write songs that people can relate to, and it becomes a part of the soundtrack of their lives. That's a privilege in itself. It's a complex situation and a complex question, so I think there's a lot of reasons for it."
The first single off the album, "Because We Can," seems a departure from the band's harder edge, but Sambora didn't see it that way.
"Hmm, I don't know. I think we just kind of followed a song," he said. "When we get in the studio and whatever, however the song gets through best, is what usually makes the record."
Sambora and Bryan said the sound of the album is authentic to them.
While he did not help write the single, Sambora said he thought the idea for it came from this, "If you're going to ever make a change and be optimistic about something, what about now?" he said. "That's what I think about it. That's what I read into it personally."
From what they saw of how economies in different parts of the world, including America, were affecting people influenced the record, Sambora said. But it didn't turn down the energy.
"It's not a bummer of a record. It's certainly not a negative record. It's a very, very optimistic and positive record and that's the way I look at it, anyway," he said.
An album goes through a lot from when the creative process starts to what fans hear, Torres said.
"It starts with an idea, concept, a story. Then there's melody and rhythm and everything gets compounded. If it's one writer or two writers or three writers, that's a conception. When it comes to being in the studio as a band, you throw all the instruments in there for your changes and the dichotomy of the song and how it can go in direction, so it's real experimental. And we've always been in the habit of working on stuff and trying never to say no to an idea. But at the end of the day, you've given the song its due," he said.
"Sometimes you do a record and you also wish you were touring where you could do that record or songs three or four months live, because they also take [on] a character, and then go in the studio and cut it. But when you do it in this situation, you try to exhaust all your ideas and try to come up with the best record you can."

Every year come October, Americans seemingly forget about every flavor but pumpkin.
Eaters could devise a nearly complete diet of pumpkin bagels and pumpkin lattes for breakfast, pumpkin yogurt and pumpkin Pringles for lunch and pasta with pumpkin sauce for dinner — paired with a pumpkin beer or pumpkin vodka cocktail.
Yet very few of these heavily marketed items are made with real pumpkins. While consumers may count on the aroma of pumpkins to signify the start of autumn, they tend to treat the actual winter squash as mere home decor.
"Only in the U.S. do we mostly use pumpkins to carve for Halloween or to display for the Thanksgiving meal," says Robert Schueller of Melissa's Produce, a national distributor trying to sell consumers on the idea of cooking pumpkins.
As Schueller points out, even the tiny pumpkins typically reserved for windowsills are edible.
"Millions upon millions of canned pumpkins are bought to make pies every fall," frets Schueller. "Maybe most Americans think (raw pumpkins) are too difficult?"
In Charleston, though, chefs are increasingly finding ways to use pumpkins besides putting them in pies.
Inspired by the output of Johns Island grower Sidi Limehouse, who's unaware of any other commercial farms raising so many heirloom pumpkin varieties, local chefs are enthusiastically incorporating pumpkin into their sweet and savory dishes.
"It's definitely versatile," says Chris Stewart, chef and co-owner of The Glass Onion. "You can treat them like sweet potatoes."
At The Glass Onion, pumpkin has appeared in soups and salads. Still, Stewart concedes that the offbeat pumpkins beloved by forward-looking, upscale restaurant kitchens remain underappreciated in most culinary corners.
"I think people really like to decorate with them," Stewart says. "In general, it hasn't caught on. It's not as mainstream as pork belly."
Eating the centerpiece
Limehouse faced the same problem when two years ago he tried to unload two bins of heirloom pumpkins, the outgrowth of a project to enhance the farm's seasonal floral arrangements.
"We thought it would be cute to do pumpkins holding flowers for Thanksgiving," Limehouse says.
At first, the pumpkins seemed destined to forever remain vegetal vases.
"They sent them back," Limehouse recalls of the first batch he promoted. "They couldn't sell those darn things. We sent them to all the restaurants in town, and most of them used them for ornaments."
Curiosity finally led a few chefs to tinker with Limehouse's heirlooms.
"And, next thing you know, everyone wants heirloom pumpkins," Limehouse says.
The suddenly desirable pumpkins sprawl over 3 acres at Limehouse's Rosebank Farms, which makes for a fairly massive patch. "You get a lot of pumpkins out of 3 acres," he says.
Limehouse cultivates 13 heirloom varieties, and another 10 varieties that really are meant for carving.
He anticipates each variety this year will yield 250 to 350 pumpkins, which means his heirloom harvest is measured in the thousands.
To better understand the diversity of Limehouse's crop, and the possibilities it presents for professional and amateur cooks, it's worth examining his heirlooms individually.
There's incredible variety both between and within varieties; pumpkin fans can't count on any two pumpkins having the exact same shape, size or flavor.
That translates to extra work for prep cooks charged with processing pumpkins by the bushel, but heirloom acolytes cherish the idiosyncrasies.
"We broke down 10 pumpkins for Field Feast (a Lowcountry Local First fundraiser), and everyone was a different color, different texture," says Two Boroughs Larder's chef Josh Keeler.
Squashing out sameness
Four of Limehouse's pumpkins are pie pumpkins with American roots: the New England Pie, New England Cheddar, Long Island Cheese and Autumn Crown are classically orange with bright orange flesh. As they're name suggests, they're especially suitable for baking.
The buff-colored Buckskin, by contrast, is good for canning.
The stumpy Jarrahdale, a pumpkin of Australian descent, also has rich orange meat. But its exterior is blue-gray, with distinctively deep-set ribs.
Wart-ridden black Futsos, a Japanese import, have even darker skin. Limehouse likes to use them for soup, but, like most squashes, they're equally good halved, buttered and roasted.
Other pumpkins in Limehouse's field include the dark-green Musquee de Provence ("We call that the Fairytale, because we'd never call anything by its French name," Limehouse says, poking fun at provincialism); the flattish, white-skinned Valenciano; the Cinderella, which also has a French name but was rechristened in the U.S. for its resemblance to Cinderella's carriage; and the ovoid Kakai, best known for its hull-less seeds.
In recent weeks, local pumpkins have appeared in FIG's soup with crab and brown butter; alongside a beef filet at Peninsula Grill, which is also serving fried oysters with pumpkin jalapeno relish and grilled sea scallops with pumpkin butter; and aboard a seared swordfish plate at Hank's Seafood.
At Two Boroughs Larder, pumpkins are pickled, curried and turned into soups, including a soup built on a base of the vestigial whey from cooking up rice.
"Until I moved down South, I didn't experiment with pumpkin as much," Keeler says. "There's an application for all of them."
Keeler suspects cooks will soon become more comfortable digging into pumpkins for dinner.
"Most of them go for decoration," Limehouse says of his current inventory. "I tell them, 'When you get through, please make something out of this.'"

HOUTZDALE - Moshannon Valley's James Stodart and Jacob Ludwig and their parents were recognized before Tuesday's senior night match against Claysburg-Kimmel.
It was their night, but the underclassmen didn't have a bad night either.
The Black Knights gave up three forfeits, but they came out aggressively from the neutral position, recorded eight pins, including two in less than 20 seconds, and belted the Bulldogs, 56-24, before a big crowd at Monte Close Gymnasium.
"We talked about last Thursday, when we wrestled Curwensville, we came out pretty flat," Mo Valley coach Justin Fye said. "When we got in the room on Friday and Monday, we did nothing but finish our shots, and I thought we did that tonight. The guys were really aggressive on their feet."
"They were just better," said C-K coach Dave Marko, whose team slipped to 10-8. "They were aggressive. They were physical. They came ready to wrestle, and we didn't."
The dual meet started with a bang for the 11-7 Knights as Bryce Bloom pinned Lane Yoder in 30 seconds at 132, and Ryan Thomas built a 12-1 lead on Cole Hypes before putting the Bulldog on his back with a double arm bar and getting the fall in 4:53.
At 145, Mo Valley's Sam Ohler took a 2-0 lead over Kalib Weyandt into the third period, but Ohler notched a takedown and two nearfall points, and he led, 6-2, late in the bout when he took Weyandt down to his back for five points and an 11-2 win.
After C-K's Dakotah Feathers won by forfeit at 152, Cody Hamilton rolled up a 24-10 major decision over Justin Hammel at 160.
C-K's Matt Walter picked up the second forfeit at 170, and a couple strong 182-pounders tangled in Mo Valley's Kent Stewart and C-K's Cameron Strayer. Stewart was leading 7-1 when he took Strayer down to his back and got the fall in 5:15 with a headlock.
"He did a really good job wrestling on top tonight," Fye said of Stewart, "turning the kid and getting the pin for us."
Stodart (22-2), ranked No. 1 by the Mirror at 195, built an 8-0 lead over Scott Walter, who weighed in at 182, before pinning him in 1:41. Ludwig (21-3), ranked No. 1 at 220, took Tyler Elder, up from 195, down to his back and pinned him in 1:24 to give Mo Valley a 38-12 lead.
"I was hoping [C-K] would move up, but if they didn't, I understood," Fye said. "It was nice for them to have matches, and they both went out and wrestled pretty well."
The first of the lightning-quick pins came at 285, where Jack Bunnell pinned Joel Hammel in 12 seconds.
"Jack's been working pretty hard in the room lately," Fye said. "He came out and went right after it. He gets pumped up pretty quickly, and he was pretty excited when he won the match."
"I didn't necessarily expect pins at 182 and at heavyweight," Marko said. "i thought those were matches that were potential flip-flops, but their guys seized the opportunities and attacked."
At 106, Mo Valley's Nick Krupa and C-K's Jordan Musselman traded five-point moves until Krupa reversed Musselman to his back. The end came in 1:24.
Fye chose to forfeit to top-ranked 113-pounder Josh Brown (20-5) and moved freshman Joey Vanish up to 120 - much to the chagrin of C-K.
"I know [Marko] wanted to get a matchup for Brown," Fye said. "They have extra guys to bump around, but we don't. The kid at 113, it's his first year of wrestling. I'm here to help our guys have confidence and wrestle hard."
The meet ended with a 40-second Dakota Walter pin of Vanish and a 16-second Dylan Fudalski pin of Trent Ritchey at 126, sending the Mo Valley crowd, complete with a costumed-clad student section.
"We had a great fan section," Fye said. "The student section was great. It was pretty electric with the people cheering the whole time. It got the guys pumped up. It's probably been awhile since Mo Valley has beaten Claysburg, so we talked about that."

If you get plenty of sleep and still have dark circles under your eyes, that's not unusual. Fatigue isn't the only reason for dark circles under your eyes. What appear to be dark circles under your eyes are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.
If discoloration and swelling appear under just one eye and seem to get worse over time, talk to your primary care doctor. If you want a more lasting solution than concealers and over-the-counter creams can provide, see your dermatologist for advice.
Depending on what's causing the circles under your eyes, your doctor may recommend prescription creams or a combination of treatments to erase or reduce discoloration. Laser therapy or chemical peels can be helpful in some cases. Hollows that cause shadows can be smoothed with injectable fillers, and surgery can eliminate puffy lids.
However, dark under-eye circles usually aren't a medical problem, and home remedies for dark circles under eyes may be all you need to help manage this condition.
Mild to moderate dark circles often respond well to simple and inexpensive treatments, such as:

NEW CUMBERLAND - The Army Corps of Engineers is seeing more ice on the Ohio River this winter than in recent years.
The unusual amounts and thickness of the ice has Army Corps engineers taking special steps to operate the 20 locks and dams along the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill. The operation of the locks and dams is crucial to many industries along the river which depend on barges to transport materials.
The Army Corps of Engineers says it will also be paying close attention to the water level of the river and its tributaries this spring as ice thaws.
Hydrologist Lewis Kwett with Pittsburgh District Water Management of the Army Corp of Engineers says that during typical winters it is normal for them to see icing in the northern part of the district in the upper Allegheny Basin. However this year, they are seeing "significant icing" throughout the Monongahela and Youghiogheny basins as well.
"We're also seeing 2 to 4 inches of ice over significant portions of the Ohio River, which is also unusual," said Kwett.
Despite the thickness of the ice in some areas, the Army Corps of Engineers strongly advises against walking out on the frozen river. They say that the thickness of ice can be deceiving; and one can quickly break through on ice that appears frozen solid.
Army Corps of Engineers public relations manager Dan Jones says the ice presents a challenge to the engineers who operate the locks and dams along the Ohio River, such as the New Cumberland Locks and Dams in Stratton.
"We have to be careful with the ice, especially if a barge is pushing ice into our lock chamber," said Jones
Jones explained that when a barge comes down the river it often pushes a large amount of ice in front of it. Engineers respond by letting the ice in to the lock chamber before the barge, then emptying the ice out the other side before letting the barge in to the lock chamber. This added process of filling and emptying the lock chamber nearly doubles the time barges spend in the locks according to Jones. River barge companies are aware of the added time needed to get though the locks and use smaller groups of barges to get through the locks quicker.
"They usually have 15 barges so now they're cutting it down to 10 to make it easier to travel up and down the river," said Jones
When spring finally rolls around this year, Army Corp engineers say that flooding, which is always a possibility along the Ohio River in springtime, could be exasperated by melting river ice. Kwett says it is the job of the Army Corp of Engineers to address ice jams that could cause flash flooding when they melt or break up. However, he notes that there is only so much the Army Corp can do, and even then they risk making the problem worse.
"That said, there is an extremely limited set of tools available to deal with flooding caused by ice jams; and the tools we have are not very reliable," said Kwett. "Taking any sort of action to attempt to resolve an ice jam at one location may only increase the likelihood of a more significant jam at another (downstream) location."
Kwett says those who live in areas with a history of ice jam flooding should be vigilant when the thaw begins. Even those who live along tributaries should be aware that ice jams downstream can lead to rapid rises in the water level of a stream he says. An abrupt drop in the level of a stream can be a warning sign of an ice jam upstream. When this happens, he says a sudden rush or rapidly moving water will almost certainly follow when the ice jam gives way.
With forecasts calling for below freezing temperatures through next week, Kwett says the Army Corp does not anticipate thawing to take place in the near future. He notes that the same forecast predicts "above normal" amounts of precipitation that could result in significant runoff and in turn cause rivers to rise toward month's end.
"Currently we're seeing up to a foot of snow in the headwaters, with up to 2 inches of water equivalent," said Kwett. "If we add another inch or two of potential runoff to that, it would certainly increase the chances of significant flooding, particularly when there is ice in the mix."
Kwett says it is difficult to entirely predict how this year's ice thaw will occur, but there are a few scenarios that could play out.
"If we have a gradual period of warming, with regular moderate rainfall to help rot the ice pack, it is possible that the ice will melt first in the southern part of the Allegheny basin, move out of the system, and we'll have a spring free of flooding," said Kwett. "A sudden warming trend with a heavy rainstorm, like we had in '96, could certainly lead to a significant flood."

This collection of seven military training films made between 1942 and 1967 includes works starring Walter Huston and Eddie Bracken, and one directed by Chuck Jones.
Military Life and You (1952): This film, part of the "Are You Ready for Service?" series, was aimed at high school boys on the verge of being drafted. It told them what to expect in when in the military and the importance of discipline.
Starting Now (1951): "Is it true that they really shoot at you in Basic Training?" Facing the draft upon graduation, three high school boys ponder how to prepare for all aspects of life in the military.
Pick-Up (1944): One of many venereal disease scare films made by the U.S. Army Signal Corps. On a furlough, Johnny Green meets a pretty girl Anne, gets the clap, and learns some harsh life lessons about messing around with girls.
Private SNAFU - The Home Front (1943), Booby Traps (1944): Two instructional shorts made for the Army Signal Corps by members of the Leon Schlesinger's animation team. These films help build morale by providing important information in an entertaining format. SNAFU is named after the military acronym "Situation Normal... All F'd Up."
Safeguarding Military Information (1942): "Thoughtlessness Breeds Sabotage!" This propaganda film made by Hollywood professionals stars Walter Huston (The Maltese Falcon) and Eddie Bracken stresses the importance of keeping military information away from enemy hands.
Vietnam Training Report - 11: Stay Alert, Stay Alive (1967): This film documents the training program for soldiers sent to fight in Vietnam. It was created to acclimatize troops to the harsh climate, the dangers of enemy booby traps, survival techniques (including chewing the head off of a chicken!), and effective camouflage.
90 Day Wondering (1956): Directed by seasoned Warner Bros. animator Chuck Jones and featuring the voice of Mel Blanc, Young soldier Ralph Phillips re-enters the civilian world and ponders reenlisting. Two spritely characters, Pete and Re-Pete, try to sway his decision.

Meet Kenneth D. King, who will show you how to use your favorite jeans to create new trousers that fit like a dream, without destroying the original garment.
Start with your favorite jeans and outline all the seams and features in thread basting.
Using silk organza, you'll trace the thread markings on your jeans to copy them.
Make a muslin based on your draft and check the fit to see how it matches.
Make alterations to your pattern based on the muslin fitting.
Now the organza draft becomes a paper pattern.
Sew the back pockets and top yoke onto the two back leg pieces.
Kenneth guides you through the front pocket assembly as it is attached to the front leg pieces.
Navigate through this tricky construction to make the classic fly front and shorten the zipper to the perfect length.
Sew the inseam and the long seams to turn pieces into pants. Finish it off with a beautiful topstitch.
Attend to the finishing details on your perfect pair of jeans. Install the waistband, finish the ends, add the belt loops, hem and more.
I just loved this class. Although I have made jeans before, you can always glean new information, and this class is full of that. I loved using the organza for the pattern, and the technique for the zipper was new and better than what I had learned to do. Thank you, Kenneth, for a great class. I am a visual learner, so this really was wonderful for me.

The Central Intelligence Agency showed its hipper side Friday, launching its Twitter presence with a cheeky first tweet: "We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet."
The CIA was slow to join Twitter. Other agencies like the geeky codebreakers at the National Security Agency and even the staid Director of National Intelligence had already joined Twitter. NSA had a creative tweet go viral last month, when @NSACareers tweeted a series of letters – with a challenge to break the code. @NSACareers is a veteran tweeter, having launched the first U.S. spy agency Twitter account in 2009.
We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.
— CIA (@CIA) June 6, 2014
Coming fashionably late to Twitter, CIA quickly made up for lost ground. Within the first hour of its account's inception at 1:45 p.m., CIA had already gained almost 85,200 followers, their first tweet had been retweeted 70,000 times and "The CIA" was "trending," in Twitter parlance.
The CIA had been planning to join Twitter for some time, but like all big bureaucracies, especially secret ones, decisions move slowly. "This has been a lengthy process," said agency spokesman Dean Boyd. "It's been in the works for a long time."
Among the hurdles: CIA had to reclaim its handle from an individual who was impersonating the agency. The agency lodged a complaint earlier this year with Twitter to liberate the handle @CIA. "There was someone out there impersonating CIA via Twitter," Mr. Boyd said. "CIA filed an impersonation complaint with Twitter and they secured the @CIA account for us, which is routine for government agencies."
Prior to the impersonator, the @CIA Twitter handle belonged to the Cleveland Institute of Art. The institute ditched it in 2013 to consolidate its social media and avoid the ire of angry tweeters who confused it with the spy agency.
"We just deleted that one because it was kind of confusing," said Jessica Moore, the institute's web manager. "Some people would mention us in their tweets and they were clearly thinking they were talking with the 'real CIA,' the Central Intelligence Agency." In an era in which spy agencies are uneasily embracing a mandate for more transparency, the CIA's Twitter account, which was launched alongside a Facebook account, will be another platform for CIA to reach out to the public. It will be run by the agency's public affairs office.
"By expanding to these platforms, CIA will be able to more directly engage with the public and provide information on CIA's mission, history, and other developments," CIA Director John Brennan said in a statement. "We have important insights to share, and we want to make sure that unclassified information about the agency is more accessible to the American public that we serve, consistent with our national security mission."
Many other U.S. spy agencies have Twitter accounts, which tend to be similar to press releases, just in 140 characters or with photos. The CIA's humorous first tweet sets a high bar for @CIA, and tickled the funny bone of other spy agencies, like the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency, @NGA_GEOINT, which responded: "Welcome to Twitter! Can't wait to work with you on [REDACTED] :-)"
Some reaction to the CIA joining Twitter:
I wonder if the @CIA and @NSA_PAO can DM each other.

text: I took this photograph on an autumn afternoon in Ulaan-Uul soum, Khuvsgul aimag, Mongolia, during a two-week homestay with the Darkhad people of the region. I had spent the day picking tart red berries on a mountainside with this man, whose name I do not know, and several other friends. Before heading back to my host family's ger, we stopped for what turned out to be an afternoon tea. Even though we shared no language, we patiently pantomimed and laughed our way through our tea break in the woods. This photograph shows a tea libation, a shamanic practice in which freshly brewed tea—in this case, yak butter tea with natural salts—is tossed to the ancestor spirits in each of the four cardinal directions. I love this photograph because to me, it precisely captures that particular moment in Mongolia—the slowly fading sunlight, the billowing sweet smoke, the patient offering of tea to the spirits in the east, accompanied by the distinctly rugged yet gentle Mongolian smile.

Wow! The season is coming to an end already! It feels like it was just yesterday that I was waking up early in the morning for preseason conditioning. People told me that the rest of my years would go by fast after my freshman year of college and I didn't believe them, but I do now! I thank God every day for giving me the ability to stay healthy and play the game that I love. He's never steered me wrong and he circled me around a bunch of women that will forever by my sisters. Going to a college so far away from my hometown I needed to feel like it was my home away from home; that's exactly what I got.

Taillon dealing with stiff neck for third time, might skip start
July 20, 2013 - Cory Giger
For the third time this year, Curve pitcher Jameson Taillon is dealing with a peculiar stiff neck issue that he can't explain and has arisen after waking up in the morning.
Many people wake up awkwardly and get a crick in their neck that makes it uncomfortable to turn their head for a day or two. It's hard to explain why it happens, but it's certainly more problematic when it keeps reoccurring with a high-profile athlete.
"I don't really know what's going on, honestly," said Taillon, who's scheduled to start Tuesday night at Trenton, but that outing would seem doubtful at this point.
The Curve lost to Erie on Saturday, 6-4, before 4,762 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Afterward, Taillon still had the stiff neck and had to turn most of his body to look to his left.
He was to be seen by a doctor in the clubhouse for precautionary reasons.
Taillon had the same thing happen during spring training and recovered quickly. It happened again in early June, forcing him to skip a start.
Taillon started Thursday night and had no issues, going seven innings for a win against Erie.
"I threw the other night, felt great, woke up, felt great," he said. "[Friday] I worked out, ran, felt fine. I went to bed, woke up [Saturday] and it just started hurting again on my left side."
Asked if it's scary to have had it happen three times now, Taillon said, "I don't really know. I don't think it's from throwing and stuff because [Friday] I felt fine. I went to bed, felt fine. I woke up and even felt OK. Before I ever got here and played catch it started acting up. It would be nice if it didn't keep coming back, but I'm not too, too worried about it."
The Pirates obviously have high hopes for Taillon, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2010 and one of the top prospects in the minor leagues. The neck issue is odd only in the fact that it's happened three times now, but anything that keeps a player like Taillon from being able to perform has to be taken seriously, even if it is only a crick in the neck.
"We've got to get more information before we get a feel for anything," Pirates assistant general manager Kyle Stark said Saturday night. "Nobody, including J-Mo, anticipates this being anything significant.
"I think every year you've got guys -- you may not necessarily know it or not -- but guys deal with nagging things," Stark added.
Taillon said he's "not overly concerned right now" since it's his neck and not his arm. He believes it's "just a sleep thing."
Sleep positioning isn't usually something players get asked about, but in this case it's relevant.
"I do move a lot. I'm all over the place," Taillon said. "It feels almost like it would be on my back with my neck kind of on my chest, I don't really know."

Oh Bella, Bella. How we love Bella. Today she was kind enough to bring her friend to the BIGnatural love fest. Her friends name is Natashia and Natashia was, or is, I should say, 34DD mammaries. Needless to say there are more titties in this update than can fit the screen. These two came ready to have fun, they were even crazy enough to flash a bar as we walked down a street in Fort Liquordale. After that they kissed and rubbed in the back of the Hummer. Finally at home it was Voodoos turn to show them how much fun they can have with a cock in hand. To top off the day he nutted on both sets of beautiful titties.

OM: Sharp and Dangerous Virtues is definitely a departure from your other novels. Why did you try something so different? Did you accomplish what you set out to write?
MM: Why did I do it? In 1998, I was driving home from the supermarket and I just had a vision of tanks driving down this suburban street. It was kind of a surprise for me, just out of the blue. I don't often have visions and I thought, 'Why couldn't this happen here?'
It's a hugely ambitious novel, and I wanted to do something big. I wanted to stretch myself with it and see if I could do it. I wanted to write something that dealt with these regular people and how they would act under awful circumstances. You know, we've been very lucky in many ways as a nation that we haven't faced the sort of stuff in our native land [that happens in the novel]. That was sort of my motivation.
OM: Non-Ohioans sometimes have a skewed view of our state. Hollywood likes to portray Ohio as one big farm. Why did you set your dystopian future — a time when Canada is against us and foreign forces actually invade Cleveland — in Dayton, Ohio?
MM: Because that's where I live, and I think if you're going to write persuasively and movingly about the loss of something, you probably write better about something you love. I think Dayton's great and Dayton's history is remarkable. I've lived in Ohio all my life. So I wanted to write about somewhere I knew.
OM: With food scarcity becoming a real issue worldwide, your concept of a Heartland Grid (the only place where provisions are plentiful) is a terrifying one. It seems so plausible and twists the rural Midwest stereotype into something insular and menacing. How did it first come to mind? Do you think it could happen?
MM: We have a summer cottage in Lakeside, and I drive back and forth between Dayton and Lakeside where the glacier came down and the Great Black Swamp is. That's where the idea of the Grid came from — just from those drives. There are food issues in the country — we're starting to see it now — and there are water issues. I wondered, "What would be done?"
I don't think [the Grid] could really happen, but what is going to happen? I don't mean this as a local cautionary tale. I guess I meant it as, if things go really sour, if we run up against the limits of things that are essential, what's going to happen and how's it going to be decided? If it's any kind of cautionary tale, it's just, "Don't think we'll always have everything."
OM: Chad, a history professor in the novel, is a wealth of information about the city of Dayton. Since you're a Dayton native, how much research did you have to do to describe what his lectures are like? What's the craziest thing you learned about Dayton writing this novel?
MM: I read a bunch of history books. My favorite book, that I relied on most, is called Grand Eccentrics by Mark Bernstein. It's really good. It's about [famous] men who once lived in Dayton. And there was Ohio Water Firsts by Sherman L. Frost, a book about Ohio's water history. They really deserve a lot of credit for the stuff that's in my book.
I heard a speaker who said that 100 years ago, Dayton was the Silicon Valley of now. It really was a hotbed of invention and smart people. I like hands-on activities — I'm a knitter — so I like that [concept]. And Dayton was so smart about dams, and was very, very forward-thinking. And the community was involved. The dams were funded by donations, so that's impressive to me, too.
OM: Water and nature seem incredibly important to you and your characters.
MM: When I began thinking about writing the book, I started thinking about water because I knew Dayton had a good aquifer. I think water will be super important in the future. I enjoy looking at Lake Erie. I like being outside. The natural world is fascinating to me. I'm certainly no expert on it but I enjoy it and respect it, and I sort of worry about water. It is a limited resource.
I'm also really interested in people's limits. Maybe it's because I was a physician for 15 years. People change with age, people die. There's just a difference between young flesh and older flesh. That's interesting to me. All our imagination and striving and passion are up against these natural limits. The book is about people pushing against their natural limits.
OM: This novel was completed in 2002, but was published late last year. Why did it take so long?
MM: It's been through many revisions. Right after Best Friends was published, I sent it to my publisher at the time, who said, 'Oh this is so different. Why don't you wait until your next novel comes out?' I had two more novels published, I got a new agent and she submitted it, but again [publishing companies] didn't want it. Her assistant had the idea to take it to regional publishers and the first one she queried was Ohio University Press.
OM: Ohio truly is your home, and the love you have for your state echoes throughout the novel. Do you think someone who doesn't live here could have written this book?
MM: Well, there's that old adage of writing about what you know. I think there's something about the way a person writes about landscape. It really comes alive if there's a sense of history and a sense of humor. I know this area. So maybe that helped.
Sometimes I think, "Oh I'm just this author here in Ohio." I'm isolated as an author, which is fine because I like it here, but I use that as an advantage in the book. It made me proud to be from Ohio. I do travel, and I'll be in Israel or somewhere abroad and everybody seems to have an Ohio connection. It's very central.
OM: Ultimately, who is this book for? What do you want this book to accomplish?
MM: I dedicated the book to my sons. I had to really think in a big way for this book, and I had to think about limits and the future and the possibilities and how normal people would act under awful circumstances. I really believe that some of the virtues that are most dangerous can also help people survive. I just hope [we] have big minds and good hearts going into the future. I hope it makes people think and maybe stop, look at the landscape and think, "How lucky we are right now. But we really have to be careful."

Rockford responding to medical marijuana legalization
Rules and regulations for medical marijuana in Illinois haven't been finalized yet, but behind-the-scenes work to start dispensaries and cultivation centers related to its sale and growth is in full swing.
The MedMen, a full-service consulting and management firm for the marijuana industry, is working with people in Illinois — including some in the Rockford area — who are interested in the business.
The group is hosting a seminar called "How to Get into the Illinois Marijuana Business" from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday at The Copernicus Center, 5216 W. Lawrence Ave., in Chicago.
The seminar features experts in the field talking about how to submit a successful application for a marijuana license.
Visit themedmen.com or call 855-292-8399 for cost details and registration information.
Representatives and clients from the Epilepsy Foundation of North/Central Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska will return Wednesday to Springfield to speak on behalf of Senate Bill 2636, which would allow adults and minors with epilepsy to use medical cannabis in Illinois.
The group also attended a Senate committee meeting on the issue in March, where the proposal passed without opposition.
The House Human Services Committee will address the legislation on Wednesday.
Call 815-964-2689 to join the Epilepsy Foundation on its trip.

CHICAGO — A public hearing on Illinois' new medical marijuana program morphed into an informal networking session Monday, with would-be growers, retailers and patients collecting business cards and sharing trade secrets.
The hearing in Chicago drew about 200 people, with two dozen testifying about proposed rules for the state's four-year pilot program. Pharmacists said they should play an official role. Patients asked for lower fees. A businessman promoted a Colorado company's expertise in growing and selling.
"It's similar to a gold rush," said political consultant Roberto Caldero of Chicago, who, like many, attended only to observe. "Everybody's trying to stake out their claim."
The Illinois Department of Public Health hearing was intended as a forum for patients, not the business owners planning to apply for licenses to grow and sell cannabis. But most of the comments came from entrepreneurs eager to get involved in what could be a $20 million to $30 million industry.
Jonathan Caulkins of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, a leading expert on marijuana legalization, calculated the annual sales for Illinois at the request of The Associated Press. But in a recent phone interview, he stressed it was his best guess based on the size of the black market and assumptions about Illinois' restrictive law, which limits the illnesses that can be treated and prohibits patients from growing their own.
Illinois officials haven't publicly estimated the size of the potential market or the taxes it could generate from 21 cultivation centers selling to 60 dispensaries. Recreational marijuana would continue to be illegal.
"As with any new program, it is difficult to estimate costs and revenues," Department of Public Health spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said in an email. "We have used internal fiscal and budget staff to review national trends in costs for (and) revenues from medical cannabis programs. However, costs and revenues vary widely from state to state, and Illinois' program will similarly be unique."
In Colorado, legislative economists estimate the state will sell nearly 2 million ounces of recreational pot next fiscal year. At an estimated $200 an ounce, Colorado would sell nearly $395 million worth.
"They should have made this legal 35 years ago," said Ralph Wilson, who spoke Monday, saying he wants to be involved as a grower. "I would have been wealthy by now, instead of a poor schoolteacher."
Out-of-state businesses may pursue partnerships with Illinois residents like Wilson. Bonus points will be awarded to applicants for having an Illinois headquarters and agents who live in the state.
Erik Williams of Colorado-based Gaia Plant-Based Medicine said his company not only intends to form those types of partnerships, but also is making contact with illegal growers and asking them to donate seeds.

The biggest risk for entrepreneurs in Illinois may be a change in national policy based on the political climate, Caulkins said. President Barack Obama recently told the New Yorker magazine that it's important for the legalization experiments in Washington and Colorado to go forward, but the federal stance could change.
"Who's going to win (the presidential election) in 2016? Every bit of this is 100 percent, completely illegal on the federal side," Caulkins said.
The Illinois Department of Public Health plans a second hearing May 21 in Springfield. Written comments are being taken through June 2.
