Law and repentance - John Charmley - 27-04-2010
Dear Bothers and Sisters in Christ,
An enquiry about marriage and Canon Law has prompted an interesting discussion in another part of the Forum. It has got me thinking about something which is, in truth, at least as old as our Faith, and which St. Paul himself had occasion to write about - namely the apparent tension between Law and the freedom of His forgiveness.
We know that the Corinthians got a little confused on this one, but in this instance it is perhaps a narrower aspect of this more general question which attracts attention.
Is this scenario impossible within the BOC? (It is one from real life, but in another Apostolic Church). A person wishes to be received into the Church. They are married to a non-Orthodox person. This person is actually their second spouse. The first marriage, many years ago, was dissolved in civil law, the divorced person subsequently re married. In the case I have in mind, the person was told by a priest that they could not receive communion because of their status as a divorced person in what their Church considered an irregular marriage, which meant that they could not be received into the Church.
The person concered suffered considerable distress, not least since they had become convinced that salvation demanded their entry into this particular Church. In the end a 'loophole' was found and they were received.
But the whole thing made me think, as does the post from Eira in the 'Question' section. of how Our Lord would have dealt with repentatn sinners? The successors of the Apostles inherit the power to bind and loose, which they seem to devolve to canon lawyers.
Now one can argue, as many would, that all this is has it has long been, rules is rules and all of that; but how far does that accord with repentance and renewal? One might, of course, wish to say that being divorced and remarried is such a sin that it debars one from the Church, although there might be individual circumstances which would allow some amelioration of the general rule - but if that is what is thought, ought it not to be said outright?
It prompted the more general thought of how well canon law is suited to dealing with pluralistic Western societies? It seems to presuppose a situation in which most people will be Christian and in that particular Church; if one starts from erroneous suppositions, one seldom gets to where one wishes to be.
In Christ,

Dear John,
I am certainly not a canon lawyer, and my thoughts are thus very much those of the layman.
This thread has raised the important question: 'What would Jesus have done?' I am minded of His approach to the Pharisees, when He clearly deprecates the highly legalistic attitude that had developed in Judaism. He evidently does not feel that complex laws in vast numbers is the way to go. He seems to say that the simple philosophy of love, untrammelled by numerous, almost trifling, laws, is the right approach. During His public ministry He hardly ever speaks in terms of legal details, which would probably be unhelpful for many of the lay-people of the time. We should, presumably, rely much more on the guidance of the Holy Ghost in our decision-making.
It is only natural that the Church would develop some basic rules to guide us. God did the same thing with Moses, but His ten rules were essentially simple, as, no doubt, were those of the early Church. But I wonder if the Church has done what the Jews did, much to His annoyance, and gone too far with the legalistic, nit-picking, attitude over time.
Perhaps the last person to ask would be a canon lawyer, who after all has every reason to justify his work. It must be difficult to achieve an objective view in such matters. Maybe the modern concept of KISS - keep it simple, stupid - might be worth consideration.
- John Charmley - 27-04-2010
Dear Antony-Paul,
Instinctively I am with your line of thought, although I understand the other point of view.
Here, Our Lord's dealings with the woman taken in adultery seem highly relevant.
To prove adultery in Jewish law was difficult; either confession or being caught in flagrante were necessary. In St. John's Gospel we have the latter. The penalty of the law was quite clear - she should be stoned to death.
This, of course, is why the Pharisees presented it to the Lord. He'd being going round preaching forgveness, so either He had to do that here - and be called a law-breaker; or He had to do what the Law of Moses demanded, in which case where was all that forgiveness stuff then?
Of course, being the Lord, He found God's way. When no one there was without sin and therefore able to condemn, neither did He. But He didn't just say, 'Have a nice day', He told her, as He tells us, to sin no more.
We are called to repentance - and forgiveness.
In Christ,

Regarding marriages, in the Roman Catholic Church, full of laws as you can imagine, there is no divorce, but there is annulment if one of the partners behaved in an irregular way - cruelty, adultery etc. Therefore, another marriage is allowed. If the marriage partners are married before one or both apratners are in the Church, and there has yet to be Church annulment of a previous marriage, then that couple must live in celibacy until the matter is decided by a Church Tribunal.... Uff!
Little wonder that Christ said, "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more!" It is simpler and says so much. The choice is always: do we want to live according to God's Law or our short-term wants.
Kirk Yacoub
- John Charmley - 08-05-2010
Dear Kirk,
Yes, go an sin no more is the watch-word. We might notice that the injunction relates to the future, not the past. Our Lord did not say to her that her previous sin cut her off from communion with Him, neither did He do what the Pharisees expected Him to do, which was to apply the Mosaic Law to her.
But, of course, Our Lord was not running an institution, so one might say that whereas He could dispense with a rule-book, His Church needs one. One might, however, add that Our Lord's words should provide the spirit which should infuse such rules.
In Christ,
- Fr Gregory - 09-05-2010

This is not correct. âDivorceâ (in Orthodox and Roman Canon Law and in civil law) is the dissolution of a marriage â so there must be a marriage to start with. Rome does not allow the dissolution of a marriage except for two obscure grounds, known as the Petrine and Pauline privileges. It does not allow dissolution on the grounds of adultery (although the Lord taught that this was a ground), cruelty, desertion or anything else.
âAnnulmentâ is not the dissolution of a marriage. It is (again in Orthodox and Roman Canon Law and in civil law) a declaration that no marriage ever existed. Annulment cannot be declared on the grounds of cruelty or adultery. It can only be declared if and when some fundamental flaw is found in the purported marriage from the beginning (for example: one partner was already married, the marriage was induced by coercion or fraud, one partner was under the lawful age for marriage, the partners were related in a prohibited degree). The Roman tribunals look at the evidence and if they determine that there was no marriage, a declaration of nullity is given. Both partners are then usually free to marry (not re-marry, since they had never previously been married).
These matters are dealt with by Canons 1055-1165 of âThe Code of Canon Lawâ (1983). A good basic introduction to this very complex subject is Eileen Stuart âDissolution and Annulment of Marriage by the Catholic Churchâ The Federation Press, Sydney, 1994.
Unlike Rome, the Orthodox Churches (both Eastern and Oriental) provide for both declarations of nullity and for the dissolution of marriage (that is, divorce).
Fr Gregory
- John Charmley - 09-05-2010
That's a very helpful clarification, Fr. Gregory.
The problem of adapting the teachings of the Lord to the circumstances we sinners manage contrive for ourselves is present in every age, and it is perhaps optimistic to expect Canon Law to keep up.
Every broken marriage, even those which it may suit Rome to regard as never having taken place validly, is a personal tragedy. In a society where spiritual formation by any Church is often absent, to expect consciences formed by secular mores to act in a way they might have had they been formed by the Church is not only over optimistic, it may well be self-defeating.
The Church is a Church full of sinners, and it reaches out to other sinners. At some point its Canon Law needs to be attuned to these circumstances. Drawn up at a time when it was expected that consciences were formed by the teaching of the Church, canon law seems, at least on this issue, to sit uneasily alongside a situation where the Churches have signally failed in that part of their mission.
We are not, in any meaningful sense of the words, a Christian society, and in our dealings with those who, almost miraculously, find their way to the Church, we need to recall Our Lord's willingness to forgive, and also His injunction to sin no more.
In Christ,
law and repentance - kirk yacoub - 13-05-2010
Dear father Gregory,
My remarks regarding annulment and divorce in the Roman Catholic Church are more or less verbatim as given to my wife and myself by the Roman Catholic Church Tribunal regarding such matters.
Kirk Yacoub
- Fr Gregory - 16-05-2010
Dear Kirk
The confusion may have arisen because a distinction was not clearly made between canonical separation, declaration of nullity and divorce (or dissolution of marriage).
If a couple has been married, Roman Catholic Canon Law has no provision for the dissolution of their marriage (that is, the granting of a divorce) with the obscure exceptions of the Pauline and Petrine Privileges. These Privileges have nothing whatsoever to do with the behaviour of the parties (e.g. adultery, cruelty).
If married parties wish to live separately and apart, Roman Catholic Canon Law expects that they will have canonical reasons for doing so, because Canon 1151 requires that a married couple has the duty âto preserve conjugal living unless a legitimate cause excuses them.â
Canons 1152-3 identify legitimate causes for canonical separation (including adultery and cruelty). A separated couple remains married; their marriage has neither been declared null nor has it been dissolved.
If one of both or the parties wishes to marry another person, he or she would have to obtain a declaration of nullity (which is not a divorce) from the relevant Church authorities. This is a declaration that there is not and had not ever been a marriage, regardless of whether the parties went through a rite of marriage in the Roman Catholic Church. It is not a divorce nor the dissolution of a marriage. It is the acceptance that there were fundamental flaws in the supposed marriage rendering it invalid from the beginning.
Canons 1083-1094 prescribes those âdiriment impedimentsâ the existence of which means that parties purportedly undergoing a marriage are not in fact married. Adultery or domestic violence are not diriment impediments; nothing that occurred after the act of marriage invalidates the marriage. Where any such impediments (e.g. lack of consent, fraud, coercion) existed, no marriage has ever existed, and one or both parties may apply to the Church Tribunal for a declaration of nullity (commonly, but incorrectly, called âan annulmentâ). The Church does not âannulâ or âdissolveâ the marriage: it declares that no marriage has ever existed, therefore this is not a divorce.
Fr Gregory
- John Charmley - 16-05-2010
Thanks for the clarification, Fr. Gregory. There is a wonderfully logical legalism at work in the thinking behind such rules. On the one hand it sticks with Our Lord's teaching; on the other it provides a 'loophole' (as one priest put it to me). The difficulty, from what I observe and hear is that the loophole is operated by canon lawyers and lay assistants which effectiovely means that the petitioner is in an ecclesiastical version of a postcode lottery; some dioceses are notoriously liberal, others are not, and I know of at least one case where a priest has recommended another diocese to a petitioner.
The irony is that the RCC regards as sacramental marriages in a Church (the C of E) whose orders it does not recognise. :o
- Fr Gregory - 16-05-2010
Yes, Tribunals around the world and even within individual countries vary dramatically in their harshness or generosity. Pope Benedict has recently issued warnings regarding Tribunals not conforming strictly to the requirements of Canon Law, and Pope John Paul II had done the same. There is special concern about the USA which produces 75% of all declarations of nullity each year.
There have been some cases in which a local declaration of nullity has been overturned by Rome. A case that attracted media coverage in the USA was that of Congressman Joe Kennedy whose marriage to Sheila Rauch Kennedy was declared a nullity by the Boston Tribunal in 1996. She wrote a book, âShattered Faithâ, denouncing what she saw as corruption in the annulment process. Joe Kennedy had âremarriedâ in 1991 (but not in a Roman Catholic Church). The Roman Rota (effectively a court of appeal) reversed the decision of the Boston Tribunal in 2005, but did not inform Sheila Rauch Kennedy until 2007. This means that Joe Kennedy (in the eyes of the Church) remains married to Sheila Rauch Kennedy and not to the woman he says is his âsecond wifeâ.
The issue of Anglican Orders, although often raised by Anglicans, is irrelevant. A significant difference between Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy is that the former recognizes marriages solemnized by non-Catholic clergy or by lay celebrants. In sacramental terms, for Rome the ministers of the Sacrament of Marriage are the couple themselves, not the Priest. He is present only as a witness and for the purpose of blessing the marriage. Roman Canon Law provides for the contraction of a valid marriage without the assistance of a Priest (e.g. Canon 1112.1) and civil or non-Catholic marriages would be generally recognised in the case of non-Catholics.
For Orthodoxy, the minister of the Sacrament of Marriage is the Priest without whom no sacramental Marriage can occur (allowing for some rare exceptions under the principle of Economy).
So, Orthodox Canon Law is to some degree simpler than Roman Catholic Canon Law in this regard. If the marriage was not of two baptised Orthodox Christians and celebrated by a Priest, no marriage exists in Orthodox Canon Law. Roman Tribunals have to investigate complex aspects of non-Catholic and civil marriages, and of details of any form of Baptism received by non-Catholic parties.

That, dear Fr. Gregory, brings great clarity - your students are fortunate in your gift for cutting through the complexities to the heart of the matter.
- Fr Gregory - 17-05-2010
Some of those posting in both the questions and the general discussion sections are obviously frustrated by problems arising from Canon Law! I cannot but share some of that frustration.....but, as a canon lawyer, I also feel a need to offer some explanation (albeit not an apology).
Canon lawyers and ecclesiastical judges (like Priests and Bishops) can only interpret and apply the law as it exists. They cannot change the law. As I have said in a previous posting, in Orthodoxy there are two approaches to the interpretation of Canon Law which might be thought of as the strict (akrivea) and the generous (economia); the former is more legalistic, the latter more pastoral. But even in the more generous interpretation, the law itself cannot be changed.
There are parallels in civil law. In some cases a judge may be able to be more compassionate and take individual circumstances into account, or even to not apply the law if he or she is allowed to take âspecial circumstancesâ into account. But, if the law is strictly written (for example, âIf a person does X the consequence is Yâ) the judge may consider the consequence in the particular case to be unfair, unjust or even wrong, but he or she has no power to not apply the law as it is written.
I teach in a University School of Law, and when I ask my students to define the purpose of the courts they usually say âjusticeâ. I have to disillusion them: the purpose of courts is the interpretation and application of the law, regardless of justice!
I also sit as a member of a federal appellate tribunal which hears appeals in social security law matters. I am often presented with cases that reveal terrible human suffering, hardship and distress â people whose pensions have been cancelled, or who have been denied support when they suffer from severe disabilities, or who are being required to pay back significant debts because they made mistake when filling in a form (I recently heard an appeal from an old age pensioner being pursued for a debt of more than $90,000.00). But I have to apply the law as it is written.
So â let me offer a case (from civil not canon law) and seek your comments on how it should be decided! An elderly and sick man wanted to apply for a social security benefit and the law required that his claim had to be lodged by a specific date. Ten days before that date he set out, with his completed claim form, to go to the local social security office. On the way there he suffered a stroke, was rushed to hospital and remained in a coma and on life-support for two weeks. Thereafter, he was extremely sick and in hospital for a month. When he (more or less) recovered, he asked his wife to take the claim form to the social security office, with medical certificates and letters from the hospital and his doctors explaining his circumstances. His claim was refused - he was more than a month out of time. No-one questioned his story, it was just that the law said his claim must have been lodged on a specific day, and it wasnât.
He appealed, and I heard his case. He and his wife were now in serious financial difficulties because they were not receiving the social security benefit.
Tell me, what would you (sitting in my place) have decided? If you really want to know, Iâll tell you what I decided......and what was the legally correct decision!
Fr Gregory
- Fr Simon - 17-05-2010
Dear Fr Gregory,
I cannot tell you what I, sitting in your place, would have decided for I do not trust myself - for example, I might have been afraid of the consequences - but I can tell you what I like to think I would have decided, what I hope I would have decided. I hope I would have decided in favour of the man's appeal. Maybe that might have not been the exact legally defined position but then I guess I would have to argue that the law was meant to cover certain situations or abuses and that the man's circumstances were in keeping with the spirit of the law and its intent if not its exact technical wording. I have no idea how, if at all in the slightest, there would be any justification for that argument but I still hope that's what I would have done.
I think I am grasping at or struggling vaguely towards some connection with the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law?
In the recent British General Election we had the fiasco of people being denied their democratic right to vote because some polling stations had insufficient voting papers and at others people queued from 8.30 in the evening and were still queuing when the polling station doors were shut at 10pm. One polling station was kept open to allow people to vote and I heard talk of the Polling Station officer being prosecuted for breaking the law (though thankfully that seems to have been quietly dropped - at least I hope so - for all I know it could be quietly being pursued). I would have had no problem with a police constable being stood at the end of the queue at 10pm to allow no-one else to join as they would be trying to join after the official closing time but I would have wanted everyone who had queued (and in the pouring rain) whether for a couple of minutes or for 90 minutes to vote. Would I have been illegal in so doing? Undoubteldy. Would I care? Not in the slightest.
Am I saying that all these laws can simply be ignored whenever it suits us? No, I am not, I have it in mind that it has long been taught by many that even bad government and law is better than anarchy and chaos. So how I do judge? I have no neat and easy and tidy answers.
So in relationship to Church canons how do I apply them? Well I am certainly not to flaunt them and ignore them just because it suits me or makes me feel better. They are there to help me get it right, to help me do the best for the greatest number of people - but so is economy there for this also. I hope I will never be found to have deliberately just flaunted any canon - and especially not just because it made me feel good. But if I am to get it wrong and if I am to be judged or condemned then I would rather be judged and condemned for showing too much charity rather than too little. But even of this I do not make any absolute rule and certainly not for anyone else and bear in mind that much charity lies behind many canons and they are not just abitrarilly there to make life difficult and those who created these canons no doubt had many insights and much wisdom I don't have. I am no canon lawyer just a pastor trying to shepherd those few people God has called me to.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us.
- Antony-Paul - 17-05-2010
Dear Father Gregory,
What a splendid example.
My thoughts, as one who has no canon law training, begin with the question: What would Jesus do?
I feel you are quite brave to place yourself in a situation where there is an obvious potential for conflict between the civil law and your Christian compassion.
In this case I think I would take the matter further, with a view to bringing about first, a sensible resolution of this particular case (which I regard as allowing the claim), and second to highlight to the legislators the weakness of laws framed in such a way. I assume that there is a higher court to which this can be referred, not to get you off the hook for the decision, but to achieve the sensible outcomes.
I wonder if there is a parallel here with the notion of alibi? If you have an alibi it is regarded by the court as demonstrating that you could not have been involved in the matter. Surely the medical condition of this claimant amounts to pretty much the same thing?
It seems to me that civil law is there to serve the people and provide a framework for societal behaviour, not to impose unnecessary restriction when matters are beyond the control of the individual. Canon law is perhaps a little different, (and I am sure you will correct me) in that we are dealing with God's law, which begins with love and compassion, and He would surely permit this man to claim under such circumstances.

NEWELL - Danielle Phillips dipped her brush into a paint jar labeled "blue" but that looked more like lavender. As she applied the brushstrokes to her Fiesta plate, she did so knowing that, in time, the color would be transformed into a deep cobalt blue.
Similarly, a diagnosis that, a year ago, cruelly threatened to cut her young life short has become a source of hope for her and her family.
"I always say, 'There are people suffering worse than you.' There is a cure, and some people don't have a cure. I know I'm going to get better," said Danielle, 12, of New Cumberland.

The Oak Glen Middle School seventh-grader is one of several "Wish children" from Brooke and Hancock counties who designed their own plates at the Homer Laughlin China Co. on Saturday to raise awareness and funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northern West Virginia.
The plates will be auctioned off Nov. 17 at the foundation's "Wish Upon a Star Gala" at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort. The gala is an annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Last year, the plate auction raised more than $1,800 for Make-A-Wish, said Jana Tetrault, of New Manchester, chairperson of the gala. "We have a whole table just for the children's plates," she said.
Plates designed by two children selected as Make-A-Wish ambassadors are sold at a live auction at the gala. "They help to raise money to provide wishes to children in Brooke and Hancock counties," Tetrault said.
Danielle, first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in October 2011, is now well enough to have her wish fulfilled - to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., during her 2013 spring break.
"I've always wanted to go to Disney World," she said. "I'm looking forward to the roller coasters because I like roller coasters a lot."
A roller coaster ride is what Danielle's family has been on this past year, said her mother, Laura Phillips.
"Very overwhelming," Laura Phillips said. "It's really put things into perspective for us. ... I also realize how lucky we are because she has something that's curable."
ALL is a cancer of the white blood cells, resulting when malignant cells multiply and overproduce in the bone marrow. Danielle started having symptoms that prompted her parents to take her to a doctor for tests. "I was tired. I couldn't get my breath. I would bruise easily," Danielle said.
Since the diagnosis, Danielle has been on a regimen of chemotherapy treatments at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The interminable treatments, recently reduced from weekly to monthly, will go on until February 2014, Laura Phillips said.
"She's been a trooper," her mother said. "She's got us through all of this. She's always looked on the bright side."
Phillips said her daughter was "beaming from ear to ear" when she learned she was going to Disney World.
The average cost of such a trip is $4,500, Tetrault said, which is where the fundraisers come in. In addition to the plate auction and gala ticket sales, Make-A-Wish raises money through the "Races for Wishes" event at Mountaineer Racetrack.
Last year's event raised enough money to send a girl to California to see actress and singer Selena Gomez. Results of this year's event, held on Saturday, have not yet been totaled, Tetrault said.
Wish children from Brooke and Hancock counties gathered at the winner's circle after Saturday's fourth race, named in honor of Make-A-Wish, for a ceremony with jockeys, trainers and owners.
"Hopefully, we'll raise as much as we did last year," Tetrault said.
Proceeds from "Races For Wishes" will be presented at the Nov. 17 gala. The holiday-themed event will be held at Mountaineer's Grande Ballroom. Tickets are $60 per person or $100 per couple and include wine tasting, dinner and entertainment by Vida the Singing Diva.
Ticket, donation or sponsorship information can be obtained by calling Tetrault at 304-224-3302. Sponsorship opportunities that include tickets are still available.

Berkeley County sheriff proposes increased budget

Why Can't the county hire its own mechanics with a big fleet of vehicle they have coudn't they save money?Then that money come maybe go to health insurance costs and cost of living and cut out the middle man. Just saying lookng for ways to lean it down and have the money go to the aforementioned.

Danner, not a problem. These guys are taking a beating and I hope someone out there can help them with this travesty. Corporate theft from their employees, but I guess they don't care as long as they are making their wallets bigger. I just found out too that this contractor is out of Alaska and is another one of those businesses that are awarded perks for being a minority owned business. I guess its not whether you can do the job but more about who you are and how much you can take from both the taxpayers and your workers.

I saw this " sheriff" shopping in Walmart the other week. I had to ask my self why is he shopping on "my tax dollarstime" He should be out catching criminals. But then I looked closer and realised he so overweight and out of condition it was as much as he could do to waddle into the store. I was a police officer for 30yrs and if ever one of my men turned up for duty looking like that he would have been sent home and made subject of a discepline report for being unfit for duty. But its ok because he will smile and be sweet ot the little old ladies who vote for him at election time. There is a strong case for term limits on Sherrifs

Danner, The Security Contractors will be taking a 46% pay cut when the new contract is awarded. They have already lost over $600 a month starting January 1st when Chenaga Aerospace decided to force them to buy over priced health insurance from a company of Chenega's choosing and whether the employees needed it or not. Most officers are already covered under their own policies but turning in down was not an option. Chenega needed a tax break and their employees are paying for it. And to make matters worse the company has yet to pay a dime into the policies to date. The company has their money and the contractors have a pay reduction.

When are county employees going to be asked to return their cars to the lots after daily use. We would save at least a million on gas and maintenance. This perk needs to end. Cops in larger cities don't take cars home. Neither do govt employees. And the excuse of cops need to respond to calls direct from their house is pure BS. Time for a change. No more subsidizing vehicles or county employee use to and from home.

Want social programs and salary increases? Move to Charles Town where our out of town socialist Councilman come from. Tax and spend City Council members Paonessa, Slover and Bringewatt have recruited another new liberal resident of Charles Town to run for City Council when he only lived here a few short months. This hurts our City because all of them did the same, they moved here, ran for office and then try to block growth projects. We need people that know the City, the region and our people, and then run for office. Their newest recruit had only lived here a few weeks when Paonessa nominated and put him on the CT Planning Comm. They want to increase their voting block on Council to stop our growth and jobs projects. There is nothing wrong with being from somewhere else like Bringewatt, Slover and Paonessa, but soon, if they have their way, no one on Council would be from West Virginia or Charles Town. It is time to vote Bringewatt off City Council.

I spoke with a group of people this morning who work for a security contractor at a local federal facility. In April they will be taking a 56% pay cut while public sector employess continue to look forward to more.

"The suggestion that public sector employees should not get raises has a ring of absurdity to it."
Yeah, public sector employess need to be paid better. Prior to the recession of '08, there was 1 employee for the Department of Transportation making over $150,000. Today there are 1,690 making over $150K/year for the DOT. In 2008 the Department of defense had 1,868 making over $150K, now it's over 10,100. In 2009 the average salary including benefits for private sector employees was $61, 051. For Federal employees it was $123,049. The number of federal workers making over 100K per year has doubled in the last 2 years. Not so common sense to me.

Just eliminate a portion of Homeland Security and OES's $488,832 we throw away each year and give it to our county law enforcement. If the council needs a second option, eliminate a few of the tax payer paid vehicles that you allow certain groups to supposedly use for work but actually just use to drive back and forth to work along with filling up at taxpayers' expense. Your county Sheriff's department is part of your actual homeland security, not that ensemble that takes up space and shows very little return on investment what so ever.

Many lame and ignorant comments here. Many of you should take time to read the Journal's crime report each week. Also, compare the sheriff department's budget of adjacent counties (Jefferson (WV), Frederick (VA), Washington County (MD) and Morgan (WV). For the size population of Berkeley County, we are way behind. With it's current budget, BCSD can't compete with adjacent counties. Deputies leave and will continue to leave for better opportunities. Time for our residents to demand better public safety. It's one of the few government services that is actually needed.

I have no problem with LEOs getting a salary increase. When a grumpy old court clerk is a 24/7 job in which they face potential danger and the unspeakable horrors of responding to accidents, shootings, and other tragedies, I will support their raises too. But while they are sorting paper, having weekends and snow days off, and busy being grumpy in a clean and polished workplace, no.

Man I hate to see the council raise our taxes to increase his budget to waste like he has done in the past. If funds that were wasted in the past four years the deputies could have got an increase so why keep giving him monies and for which he is unable to manage. Take some of the funds out of the conceal weapons fund and buy ammo instead of buying things for himself or toys they don,t need.

Commonsense: So, what percentage of police, court clerks, and other county employees have been furloughed or laid off as a result of the lousy economy? What percentage of them are on unemployment or have been in the past five yeras? You like percentages. Show me all of them.

actually, the average private sector wage increases for 2013 is 3 percent. The suggestion that public sector employees should not get raises has a ring of absurdity to it. It has nothing to do with "doing more work" The cost of living is skyrocketing and even modest wage increases aren't going to keep up.

What crap. The Sheriff should be ashamed of himself wanting increases when everyone else has to tighten their belts and are not getting raises. This is what is wrong with local government and these fat cat bureaucrats. No increases.

Sheriff's Dept. employees are affected by the Obama-caused higher cost of living, just like the rest of us: higher income taxes, higher cost of food, milk, gasoline, etc. Plus, if it's true that the county assessor has increased the appraised value of our cars, then the deputies have higher county taxes as well.

Everyone asked for a $1,000 raise. Why? Are they doing more work than last year? I doubt it. They are asking because it's government and no one with budget authority has to worry where the raise money comes from. It's like magic. A signature here and a signature ther and--voila!--instant raises.

Youngstown - The Lady Potters got off to a good start when sophomore guard Nikayla Edgell bombed a three-pointer just moments into the contest. That early momentum quickly faded, however, as Cardinal Mooney stormed back to record a 53-27 victory on Saturday.
After Edgell's score, the Cardinals would go on an 11-1 run to close the first quarter. Macy Marlowe would connect on a bucket just before the buzzer to give Mooney an 11-4 lead after the opening frame.
"The story of just about every game has been like that," East Liverpool coach Allan Dingey said. "We get behind, and we get frustrated. We just don't have enough patience on offense, and were not reversing the ball."
The Potters closed the gap in the second quarter as they got to within five points at the 2:56 mark when Edgell hit two free throws to make it 18-13. But the Cardinal's would then go on a 6-1 run to go up by 10 points just before intermission.
That's when the Potters' Kiara Cowart would hit a basket inside the paint with only 30 seconds left to make it 24-16 at halftime.
The Potters would come out strong to start the second half as Mary Davis hit a basket at the 7:05 mark of the third quarter, cutting the gap back to five points at 24-19. But unfortunately for the Potters, the combination of the Cardinals' Jaclyn Yankle and Nicole Webber down low, and Jamie DiDominico from outside, would propel the them to a 17-6 run through the rest of the quarter.

Three-point field goals:?East Liverpool - 3 (Edgell, Possage, Davis); Mooney - 2 (Domenico, Marlowe)
The Potters trailed 41-25 after three quarters.
"On defense we tried three different defenses there. We played a lot of man-to-man, went to zone, got in foul trouble, and so were still working (on defense)," Dingey said. "We'll have a little time off on the break, and hopefully we can regroup."
The Cardinals would close the game, and the fourth quarter, by going on a 12-2 run to reach the 53-27 final score. Yankle would add six of her game-high 16 points in the quarter.
"We played decent tonight offensively," Mooney coach Bill Ritter said. "Defensively, we were a little banged up so we sat in a zone and we gave up a few three's to them, but we were able to control the game on the offensive end, and they got a little cold in the second half and we were able to pull away."
The Potters were led by Edgell with 10 points on the afternoon, while Chelsea Possage and Sarah Morrell each contributed five points.
"Two girls got hurt in the junior varsity game, but they were probably the first two I would have brought in," Dingey said. "And then we had one (ill) that is in our rotation so that didn't help, but that's not to make excuses."
The Potters drop to 3-5 on the season, and will not play again until after a holiday break when they host Oak Glen Jan. 2.
Cardinal Mooney also captured the junior varsity contest by a 49-15 score.

WLIC Announces RFID Educational Event Participants
WLIC Announces RFID Educational Event Participants
It is a common misconception amongst producers that it takes a significant investment to get started using RFID technology on the farm and that it only works for the large farms. Years ago, this may have been true, but this is no longer the case. RFID tags have become cheaper over the years (down from $6 to about $2) and so has the technology you can use with these tags. The technologies available today serve as building blocks where individuals can buy as they go.
If you milk 100 cows and have a computer with Microsoft Excel, you can buy a RFID reader with lookup capabilities, some simple data entry tools and RFID tags for the entire herd for about $1,500. The on- going cost of about $100 per year covers the cost of tags for the calf crop.
By investing in RFID technology you can have better records and reduce mistakes, which can sometimes be costly. If you wish to invest at a later date in software or integrate with other technologies on your farm, the money did not go to waste because today, most of the technology is compatible.
The educational event on March 6th will highlight the various tools that are available to producers today, stories will be shared by producers that are currently using the technology and how they progressed to where they are today. The guest speakers and producer panel include:
• Dr. David Kammel – UW Biological Systems Engineering
• Dr. Jim Meronek – DVM, USDA-APHIS, VS
• Craig Walter – Valley Ag Software
• Mike Meyer - Manager of Meyer Family Dairy, LLC
• Dr. Robert Fourdraine, WLIC, COO
• Mike Peters – UW Dept. of Dairy Science Herd Administrator
• Corey Hodorff – Manger of Second-Look Holsteins, LLC
• Sally Griswold – Manager of Fergs White Clover Dairy
The event will also feature table tops from the following companies to answer any questions:
• Y-tex
• Valley Ag Software
• eNasco
• Allflex
• ProfitSource (DairyQuest & HeiferPRO)
• AgSource
• Fort Supply Technologies
• Vet-Sentry
• Temple Tag
• I.D.ology
• Tru-Test
As you leave the meeting you will have a better understanding of the capabilities of RFID for herd management and how to get started without spending a fortune.
If you would like to attend the event, make your lunch reservation today: Call: 608.848.5237 or Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

If there is a gene for "politician," Paul Thurmond certainly has it.
The young senator and son of former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond addressed a crowd of about 20 on Aug. 5 at the monthly Berkeley County Republican Women meeting.
The gathering took place at the Berkeley Electric Cooperative building on Springhall Drive in Goose Creek.
Thurmond's S.C. Senate District 41 represents parts of Charleston and Dorchester counties. Thurmond, who lives on James Island, gave an overview of his rookie year as a senator to an audience that included House Dist. 92 Rep. Joe Daning (R-S.C.), Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler and Berkeley County Clerk of Court Mary Brown.
"I want to talk about doing things differently in the senate," Thurmond said.
He removed the door from his senate office because closed-door meetings should not take place in public buildings, he said. Thurmond didn't accept the senate license plate because he should not have special privileges as an elected official, he added.
"I don't look at the opportunity for me to separate myself from the public," Thurmond said. "In Columbia everybody knows you. It's like 'Cheers.'"
He said he didn't miss a single day and only missed a handful of votes while participating in hundreds.
"I do have a business (Thurmond, Kirchner, Timbes and Yelverton, PA) and three kids and one on the way," Thurmond said. "I wanted to make sure I was involved. There is a pecking order. I'm getting used to that pecking order.
"A senator told me I should be pleased they let freshmen talk. You have got to learn the rules, there's a thick book."
Thurmond said there are 10 to 12 senators who really run things. They are usually committee chairmen.
Rules can be manipulated in a negative way so senators can introduce a bill that goes to their committee and sits there until right before the May deadline for changeover.
"I didn't get anything from not using the rules to my advantage," Thurmond said. "I thought it would build camaraderie. It did not. I introduced 10 bills. Five passed. The ones that didn't were introduced much later.
"I introduced bills that would make a difference in people's lives. In South Carolina if you're over 60 you can go to college for free if you're not working."
He said he voted for Bill S-259 that allows anyone over 60 who qualifies to take free classes as long as classes are open and students are not bumped.
"I introduced legislation (S-412) to end the blackout period when you can't see who is giving campaign contributions right before an election," he said.
Now candidates must show receipts for contributions of $250 or more received in the 20 days before an election.
"I passed a bill (S-503 to enact 'Beach Preservation Act') to let coastal municipalities pass a one percent tax," he said. "The chamber didn't like that. It's like killing the goose that laid the golden egg."
Thurmond introduced a bill (S-700, Destruction of Criminal Records) to have mug shots removed from websites for people who are criminally charged but not convicted, found not guilty, or had their case dismissed.
He said it normally costs hundreds of dollars to hire private companies to remove such mug shots from web sites. He called this extortion. Now citizens need only ask a person or entity's website to remove their mug shot within 30 days of making such a request.
Thurmond also spoke of areas where spending needs to be cut.
"I'm not convinced K4 (kindergarten for 4-year-olds) does anything," he said. "It's more of a daycare. It hasn't been proven to work. I don't want to spend money on things that don't work. I have small children (ages 8, 5 and 2).
"I'm going to be fighting like crazy against the gasoline tax. Gas will go by the wayside. We're going to more efficient cars."
Thurmond said he lobbied against funding the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) and the Darling NASCAR race with taxpayer money. "SEWE made $200,000. They ask us for money. They said they had past debt. So taxpayers should pay for them to mismanage their budget?"
As he follows in his dad's footsteps, Thurmond said he is enjoying the challenge.
"My hope is to serve with dignity and sincerity," he said. "I am in no way perfect, but I'm working on it."

You'd think Andrea Alessi would have a leg up on other mothers when it comes to bouncing back into shape after having a baby.
After all, her husband, Derek, is one of the most respected health and fitness experts in Western New York.
But 11 months after the couple's third child was born, she still sounds like a lot of other moms about to celebrate the latest Mother's Day with a new addition to the family.
"All I've been hearing is, 'How do I get my pre-baby body back?,' " Derek Alessi said this week.
It's good that lots of hugs, kisses and coos come with motherhood. How else could moms get through the shifting hormones, weight challenges and loss of sleep? The new duties, time demands and well-meaning advisers?
"It's a big change. It's exciting, but it's change, and things won't be exactly the same as they were," said Dr. Anne Curtis, chairwoman of the Department of Medicine at the University at Buffalo. "Life will be different, but it will be good different, and you've just got to make the right adjustments."
How can new moms balance health, nutrition, fitness and family responsibilities?
1. Have the right perspective. "In the early stages, you feel like there's so many things you should be doing better," said Jo Freudenheim, mother of two and chairwoman of the UB Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. "It can be a very stressful time," and there is a learning curve. See this as a time to grow as a person, as well as a mom, and don't set a standard of perfection. Depression can be a part of postpartum life, and can have a lot to do with hormonal changes, Freudenheim said. Don't be afraid to seek professional help for a time if you need it.
2. Ease into better shape. "When you are pregnant, there's that whole maternal, mom feeling," Curtis said. "Then you give birth and you just look overweight."
Curtis, a cardiologist, is an empty nester now, with three adult children, but remembers having to stop her 3-mile runs late in each of her pregnancies – and how hard it was getting back into shape. Andrea Alessi thought a third child would be easier, too, but said she discovered you have to ease into better fitness. "The danger," said Curtis, "is not ever getting back into a routine." She started by jogging a few times a week for a few minutes, then walking, gradually jogging more and walking less, then running more and jogging less. "I didn't have overblown expectations in terms of what I was going to do," she said.
3. Take care of yourself. "New parents are always enormously sleep-deprived," Freudenheim said. "Whatever you can do to make sleep a priority is good."
Andrea Alessi was on a rigid schedule when her first child was born four and a half years ago. "It all fell to pieces, and I was a wreck," she recalled. "You get used to a certain routine and I had to let it go. The laundry will get done. We will eat, even if we order out. The house will get clean. It's not going to be a disaster forever."
Expect to visit the pediatrician often after a new child is born but also to visit your obstetrician at least once, Curtis said. If you are obese, the chances of high blood pressure and diabetes rise, so it's important to try to return to a better weight. Breast exams, Pap smears, blood-pressure checks and cholesterol screenings are all important.
4. Eat and drink healthy. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins is important whether you've just had a baby or not, Freudenheim said. Drink alcohol rarely, in small quantities, because it can be passed to a child in breast milk. And smoking, both before and after pregnancy, is harmful to mother and child. New moms need to stay well-hydrated because it will help return to pre-pregnancy metoblism, Derek Alessi said.
5. Relationships will change. As a mom, you're not going to be as available to your friends, at least not as often or in the same way. "Women need the time to figure out the right balance, because having a baby does change things," Curtis said. "What was very helpful to me" added Freudenheim, "is there were a lot of other moms in my workplace, so we would trade a lot of information." For all moms, a relatively new support group can be found at meetup.com/Buffalo-Mothers-Group.

A Show of Hands, Victor Wooten's solo debut, was originally released in 1996 on Compass Records and stands as one of the most critically acclaimed debut solo albums of all time. The release was groundbreaking in that it was recorded with "two hands, four strings, and no overdubs" establishing Wooten as the new major talent to watch on electric bass. Last year marked the fifteenth anniversary of that album's release and A Show of Hands 15 was released to celebrate this milestone.
"One of the most skillful, inventive bassists on the planet but a heck of a diversified songwriter and bandleader, too." —All Music Guide

Both apply to the cool white goodness that, in late March, still draws skiers to Holiday Valley and other slopes south of Buffalo and provides a dramatic rebound from the disappointing season of 2012.
Around the city, wintry weather has endured like a raspy cough. You can feel it in bitter winds and see it in once-mighty snowbanks that refuse to die. In southern Erie County, cattle graze in pastures flecked with snow.
Go farther south into Cattaraugus County, and you'll see winter in full glory. The ski village of Ellicottville has recorded 185 inches of snow this season, better than its average and more than three times Buffalo's snowfall so far. Snow blankets rooftops and hay bales, and strains splintered old barns.
Another bonus for Ellicottville's Holiday Valley: Half of the 185 inches fell since February began, meaning the 2012-13 ski season will schuss along for days more at least. The clunk, clunk, clunk of ski boots remains a familiar sound around the resort's busy hotels. Ski pants are still swish, swish, swishing in casual restaurants.
"The village of Ellicottville is busy. It's just like midwinter right now,'' said Holiday Valley's marketing director, Jane Eshbaugh, who said she talked Sunday with skiers from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Canada and Erie, Pa. – places that typically offer up travelers to Ellicottville.
"We haven't made snow since toward the end of February,'' she said. "[Last] week alone we got about 20 inches. The weather really changed this year right around the beginning of February, to become really like an old-fashioned winter.''
In late February 2012, skiers and snowboarders were doing what they could on slopes heavily supplemented with man-made snow, recalled Christopher Hickok. On March 18 of last year, Holiday Valley closed for the season – the only thing to do when temperatures ratchet toward a 60-degree average. The area's snowmobile trails were nothing to behold, either.
But on Sunday, Hickok and his young children, Zach and Lauren, were rushing down good powder, tiring themselves out before the drive home to Eden.
So the conditions, then, are good?
"For March 24, can't beat it,'' said Wes Loudermilk, of Cleveland, who recalled being out fishing on March 24, 2012. He traveled to Ellicottville on Sunday with Phil Manti, who said he had never ventured to Holiday Valley so late in the year.
"IT'S NOT OVER YET!!!!,'' the operators of the nearby Kissing Bridge resort assured skiers on their website Sunday. They said Kissing Bridge will be open through the week, close for Easter, and the operators will then reassess.
"Last year at this time there was no snowfall. It was 80 degrees,'' said Bill Hibbert, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo. The middle of March brought in a week of record highs, capped by a trio of balmy days in the 80s from March 20 to 22, he said. Then temperatures settled back to the seasonable 40s by month's end. A week ago Sunday, March 24, the high was 58, the low 46.
This year's snow total in Buffalo, 57.1 inches, is still well below the normal total of nearly 89 inches, Hibbert said, and that could lead to lower lake levels at least for the start of the boating season. But the farther south you go in Western New York, he said, the more snow you see.

The Erie County Sheriff's Office announced three drunken driving arrests over the weekend.
Jack F. Wood, 62, of Sardinia, was arrested about 4:50 a.m. Sunday on the Aurora Expressway near Transit Road in Elma. His car was originally spotted going the wrong way near the Union Road exit and narrowly missed colliding with several other vehicles but did strike a guardrail and mile marker, deputies said. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and speeding, and posted a blood-alcohol content of .11 percent, deputies added.
Jonathan G. Goulding, 21, of Depew, was stopped on Transit Road in Clarence about 3 a.m. Sunday and charged with DWI after posting a .13 percent blood-alcohol reading, deputies said.
At 5 p.m. Saturday, Paul R. Mitrowski, 46, of Sardinia, was arrested on Route 16 in the town, deputies said. Mitrowski, who has prior DWI convictions from 2005 and 2008, refused a breath test and was charged with felony DWI.

The smiling young men bound by allegiance to the U.S. military seemed naturally suited for the armored vehicles they were packed into Monday morning, but those vehicles were made for patrolling Iraq and Afghanistan terrain, not for rolling down 17th Street in Altoona.
They were part of the Veterans Day parade in the city, attended by a full crowd, including Linda Foust, dressed in an American flag-patterned coat appropriate for the mild weather and standing at the corner of 17th Street, as she does each year.
"I'm glad about the turnout. I have a lot of respect for the veterans," she said. "I do Christmas cards for deployed troops - I'm looking at several thousand this year from the region."

Casee Rooney, 5, of Altoona, watches the Altoona Veterans Day parade from her spot on 17th Street on Monday.
The Altoona Area Junior High School marching band played "The Army Goes Rolling Along," a World War II song and official song of the Army. And men lined the sidewalks who served in that war and those in Vietnam and Korea, too.
"It's hard to believe how many soldiers have died," Korean War veteran Bill Tremel said.
"You see [soldiers] going up and down here for the parade. You don't think that it's actually happening unless you're involved in it," he said.
Many veterans kept their experience to themselves when asked, but the impact their service had on them showed.
One Korean War veteran was noticeable for his white, high-and-tight hair cut.
"They cut it that way when I was in the Army and I kept it," he laughed.
He chatted about the classic Chevrolet, Ford and Buick cars in the parade, but he was self-effacing in talking about the slightest aspect of his service.
"There are more guys that really deserve the recognition. I don't deserve it," he said.
A World War II veteran quietly stood with a cane, wearing a hat, coat and thick glasses for his eyes which have seen things that perhaps he wished they had not.
"I think it's important, anyway, that people do remember veterans. Even if it's just a parade," he said.
Women and children turned out in abundance for the event. Former Altoona Mayor Tom Martin was pleased by the turnout.
"Veterans Day is a very important day in the history of the United States," he said. "I'm glad to see great turnout here. It's of tremendous importance that we continue to honor our veterans."

The Cubs also announced that catcher Steve Clevenger, whose Minor League rehab assignment was to end Saturday, was experiencing some tightness in his oblique area. Clevenger will rest, and then be re-evaluated by the Cubs' medical staff. In 15 games, he batted .327 with five doubles, three home runs, and 11 RBIs.

There's talk of a roster move
There's talk of a roster move with a pitcher prior to tomorrow's game with the Brewers. Instead of playing musical roster DFA with Henry Rodriguez or coming down with a phantom injury for Hector Rondon, how abou just letting Shawn Camp go? Camp has no future here. Why not see if Rodriguez is fixable at the major league level. And sticking Rondon on the DL does nothing for his development.
Maybe the Cubs get lucky and some team takes on the rest of Camp's salary. Or at least prorated MLB minimum.
Agreed. Camp can go away now.
Agreed. Camp can go away now. Time to retire, Bro.
Well said. The only thing
Well said. The only thing better would be to trade Gregg before the clock hits midnight and he turns back into a pumpkin.
I would think the Cubs would
I would think the Cubs would option Blake Parker to AAA and have him be the closer for the I-Cubs until Kevin Gregg gets traded.
Parker and James Russell are the only two pitchers on the 25-man roster who can be optioned to the minors without having to give their permission, although Optional Assignment Waivers would have to be secured before Russell can be optioned to the minors (Optional Waivers are revocable and thus can be withdrawn if the player is claimed, so they are more-or-less a formality).
Or the Cubs could just DFA Hector Rondon and see if they can get him through Outright Waivers. He hasn't been that impressive, and so there probably wouldn't be much interest in him on the waiver wire, especially since the claiming club assumes the Rule 5 roster restrictions. If Outright Waivers could be secured, Rondon would have to be offered back to the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians (the AAA club from which he was drafted), and if the Indians were to re-claim him, he MUST be outrighted to that AAA club. (A Rule 5 player who is reclaimed by his former organization MUST be outrighted to the AAA club from which he was drafted). But Rondon can elect free-agency if he is outrighted because he has been outrighted previously in his career, so the Indians would get stuck paying $25,000 to get a player back who can walk away immediately, and I'm not sure they would risk that. (And Rondon would be able to elect free-agency immediately after the conclusion of the MLB regular season even if he were to decline to elect free-agency immediately upon being outrighted).
If Outright Waivers could be secured and the Indians decline to reclaim Rondon (because he can elect to be a free-agent if outrighted), the Cubs could option Rondon to Iowa (even though Cleveland would not be able to option Rondon to the minors, the Cubs could if the Indians decline to reclaim him). Rondon is eligible for a 4th minor league option, so the Cubs could send him to the minors without Rondon being able to elect free-agency. (BTW, just because Outright Waivers are secured does not mean the player must be outrighted to the minors, but because he is a Rule 5 player, the Cubs would have to secure Outright Waivers on Rondon before he can be offered back to his original organization, and he has to be offered back to Cleveland--and the Indians must decline to take him back--before the Cubs can option Rondon to Iowa).
Also note that even though the Cubs would probably DFA Rondon before starting the Rule 5 return process (the process takes about five days to complete), he can be optioned to the minors as long as it happens within the ten day DFA period. A player must be traded, released, or sent to the minors (by outright OR optional asignment) within ten days afrer being Designated for Assignment. (NOTE: The Optional Assignment choice does not to apply if the club's 40-man roster was full and the designated player was replaced on the 40-man roster by another player, or during the off-season prior to the start of Spring Training).
This DFA scenario for Rondon
This DFA scenario for Rondon has some appeal.
If they feel he could have a future as a starter, they could stretch him out some at Iowa. But with his past of multiple arm issues, is he better suited for the pen? If they feel the pen is the way to go, then why not just keep him in Chicago and get him more consistant use. Wins aren't overly important this season.

Kerry Washington says she was terrified when she became single earlier this year – but she hasn't had "one freak date yet."
The Fantastic Four star, who split from actor fiancé David Moscow in March, tells PEOPLE that entering the dating world was an entirely new experience for her.
"I was always that girl who was in long-term relationships, and I was never really single," Washington, 30, said this week at theSunshine premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival, for which she served as honorary co-chair.
"I had always met guys in other ways and never really did the whole dating scene where you go out on multiple dates with different guys," she said.
"I am totally the girl who gets introduced to someone through a mutual friend and a dinner party, falls in love and then is with them for like two years."
But that was then. These days the actress is enjoying her single status – and finding the dating scene a lot less daunting than she had imagined.
"I was scared I would meet really weird men or have all these horror stories, but I have none so far," she said. "It has all been a lot of fun so far. I'm having a blast meeting people."
Besides, she added: "No one has to feel sorry for me. I'm not lonely. I have my dog."

CHICAGO - A Brazilian teaching program had the brilliant idea to pair students learning English with elderly residents at a retirement home, and the result is beautiful. FCB Brazil started the "Speaking Exchange" project for CNA language schools, according to Adweek. The pilot project was implemented at a CNA school in Liberdade, Brazil, and students were paired with residents of the the Windsor Park Retirement Community in Chicago. The Brazilian students talked with the elderly Americans via Webchat and the videos were recorded to be graded later by instructors. The connections made between the pairs are beautiful and touching as seen in a YouTube video released by CNA. "Not all of students have a chance to travel abroad and to interact with native speakers of English," Vanessa Valenca, a pedagogical coordinator, said in the video. "What our students really want is to speak English fluently. And we are always asking ourselves, 'How can we make it more real, more human?'" It turns out that the program is not only teaching the students English - it is also teaching them love.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D170802%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E
