Center Open House Showcases Hopeway Farm
Center Open House Showcases Hopeway Farm
Fryes Invested in New Technology and Improvements To Support Dairy
The Center for Dairy Excellence will host its first "Open House and Dairy Tour" at Hopeway Farm on Friday, June 28, from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Hopeway Farm is located at 166 Helen Drive, Greensburg, Westmoreland County. Wayne and Hope Frye, along with their son and daughter, own and operate the herd of 310 milking Holsteins. Daughter, Kelly, manages the farm's reproduction program, while their son, Patrick, is involved with the field work and cattle feeding.
In 1978, the Fryes entered into the dairy industry milking just 28 cows in a tie stall barn. Over the last 13 years, the Frye's have made tremendous improvements in facilities, cow comfort, reproduction, and milk production. These improvements have all contributed to the family's success as dairy farmers.
"Hopeway Dairy is a dairy business that incorporates new technology to make improvements in their milking herd," said John Frey, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence. "They continue to grow and demonstrate their passion for their role as dairy producers in Pennsylvania."
The Frye's operation is centered around the newly-built double-twelve parallel milking parlor. Recent additions were also made to the sand-bedded free stall barn to reduce overcrowding. A unique aspect of the operation is the Select Detect System that is used throughout the herd.
The open house will allow attendees to tour the facilities and view the new improvements on the dairy. The event will include a short program to introduce the Frye family and their journey through the dairy industry. The program will also include information about resources available from the Center for Dairy Excellence. At 12 p.m., a picnic-style lunch will be provided, free of charge.
The Westmoreland County event is the first of two "Open House and Dairy Tours" hosted by the center this summer. The second event will be held Tuesday, July 16, at Meadow Spring Farm LLC in Lititz, Lancaster County.
Both events are free and open to anyone within the dairy community. If interested, sponsorship opportunities are available. Pre-registration for both events is requested. Please register by calling the Center for Dairy Excellence at 717-346-0849 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information about the events, visit www.centerfordairyexcellence.org and look under "Upcoming Events."

What is Select Media?
The Select Media program helps Allvoices showcase its top reports during a given news cycle, 24 hours a day. It is designed to reward the site's best writers for strong efforts and encourage readers to keep checking back, day after day, to see what fresh perspectives are waiting to be discovered at Allvoices.
Because of the high-profile nature of Select Media, only the site's top-tier writers can participate. In turn, Select Media reports earn higher pay rates for approved articles as well as more site-based promotion for those reports. Happy, well-served readers tell friends and relatives about Allvoices, and more readers make visiting Allvoices part of their online routine, inspiring the site's writers to keep up the good work.
Participation in the Select Media program is open to Anchors, the highest of the three editorial rankings, and to Reporters and Stringers by invitation only. Anyone can sign up to write for Allvoices, but Anchors are writers Allvoices deems capable of consistently producing well-written, interesting reports exhibiting clarity, originality and focus. You can review the official criteria here.
Exceptional writers may be promoted to Anchor after just a few stories, but most writers who become Anchors do so by turning in at least 15 consistently well-written and properly resourced reports. Writers may be promoted from Stringer to Reporter before becoming Anchors, but once the upward trajectory has begun, Anchor status can generally be attained after 15 reports if the quality level of the writer's articles remains high.
Upon becoming an Anchor, writers who choose to participate in the Select Media program do so knowing that a staff of professional copy editors will review their reports for things like spelling, grammar, clarity, accuracy and readability. In general, we defer to Associated Press style on matters related to the inevitable questions around hyphenation, capitalization, consensual spellings and more, but we do not change the essential tone or meaning of any report.
What to look for before submitting to Select Media
Ideally, because Allvoices relies on user-generated content, that content would be sparkling clean with nary a change to be made. But in reality, even professional writers with decades of experience under their belts make mistakes or write awkwardly at times. That's why newspapers have copy editors and novelists use the acknowledgements page to thank the many people who read early drafts of their manuscripts.
This checklist will help Allvoices writers avoid common mistakes, which will improve their chances for getting stories approved for Select Media and, in turn, earning more money and exposure. Many of these steps will become second nature surprisingly fast, and eventually most writers will begin self-editing in a productive way as they write, avoiding some of the most common pitfalls that can slow the editorial process.
Checklist for submitting to Select Media
1. Proofread. Proofread from top to bottom before publishing. That includes headlines, which will serve as part of the published story's URL. Pay special attention to the spelling of names and other proper nouns, dates, ease of reading and the accuracy of any quotes you may use. Make sure you have a pen and paper (or the virtual equivalent) nearby and jot down any questions or uncertainties you may have.
2. Verify. You can use another tab or browser to check on those issues before publishing. Is it Anne Romney or Ann Romney? Is it "The Rachel Maddow Show" or just "Rachel Maddow"? Are you sure "Bagdad" is correct, or could it be "Baghdad"? These are the kinds of things you can look up and fix simply by entering the term into a search engine and using reliable sites to answer your questions. If you know what you are looking for, these kinds of things are easy to fix. That's why the first step, proofreading, is so important.
3. Check sources and length. Is all the writing really your own? Did you paste a block of text in for reference and forget to remove it? Did you attribute all excerpts and quotes and link back to relevant sources? Is the report at least 400 words long, the minimum for Select Media reports? Most Select Media submissions in excess of 1,000 words will not be considered for the program. Rare exceptions may be made, however, if little or no editing is required. Any notes or links added by Allvoices will not count toward the 1,000 words.
4. Scan. Did you make all the fixes you meant to make? Have you included everything you meant to include? Does anything "jump out" at you, even if you aren't sure why? If so, it might be worth taking a closer look at what's calling for your attention. Sometimes rearranging just a few words can make an otherwise awkward sentence or paragraph read a lot better.
5. Publish. If you feel comfortable with your report, publish it. After a short while, the steps described here will take you no more than 10 minutes. As more good writers begin submitting well-written reports to Allvoices, cleaner stories will have the advantage when it comes to Select Media approval and promotion by the site. If you strive to earn more and reach a larger audience, it pays to take the time to turn in the best story you possibly can, even if it slows you down a bit in the publishing process.

on January 13, 2013 - 12:52 AM
The New England Patriots. It seems like they are always there at the end. Actually, seven Super Bowls have passed since the Patriots won pro football's ultimate prize.
The Patriots resume their quest for the fourth Super Bowl championship of the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era today against the Houston Texans, a team many predicted would represent the AFC in New Orleans on Feb. 3. That was before the Texans lost three of their last four games and were unimpressive in defeating Cincinnati last week.
Besides trying to make up for an embarrassing 42-14 loss at New England last month, the Texans are in a stew over being dissed by Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, who wrote that by facing Houston:
"The 2012-13 New England Patriots just became the first team in NFL history to get back-to-back byes before advancing to the conference championship game. Could this get any easier?"
Atlanta, another popular pick to compete for the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans, will begin its postseason campaign against the hottest team in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks.
The Falcons will be trying to overcome a recent history of postseason failure and a 6-11 playoff record overall. They've are 0-3 since 2008 in the postseason with QB Matt Ryan and coach Mike Smith despite a 56-24 overall record in the regular season.
Seahawks (12-5) at Falcons (13-3)
TV: Ch. 29, 1 p.m.
The line: Falcons (-2½)
The scoop on the Seahawks: After their 24-14 win at Washington, the Seattle team flew home to the Northwest, then had to make its third cross-country trip in a week to play in Atlanta. ... The win over the Redskins was Seattle's eight in its last nine games, with the loss coming at Miami on Nov. 25 (24-21). The Seahawks took off after an overtime win at Chicago. Last week's road win was the first in postseason for Seattle since Chuck Knox's 1983 team won at Miami. ... There are three main chapters to this year's Seattle story – defense (they allowed 25 TDs, fewest in the league), rookie QB Russell Wilson and RB Marshawn Lynch. Wilson has been a reliable passer (100 rating) and a dangerous runner (489 yards). Lynch ran for a career-best 1,590 yards. ... The Seattle defense took a hit when DE Chris Clemons suffered a season-ending knee injury in Washington. Rookie Bruce Irvin will start in his place. Clemons' place on the roster was taken by free agent Patrick Chukwurah, a 33-year old former UFL player who last played in an NFL game in 2007. Clemons led Seattle with 11.5 sacks, while Irvin had eight. Seattle also signed veteran kicker Ryan Longwell for this game because Steven Hauschka suffered a calf injury.
The scoop on the Falcons: There's a ton of pressure on the Atlanta team because of its playoff failure, especially the home loss two years ago when the top-seeded Falcons were routed by the Packers, 48-21. ... The Falcons started this season with eight straight wins before a loss at New Orleans. Their only other loss in a meaningful game came at Carolina (30-20). Atlanta was unbeaten at home until a 22-17 loss to Tampa Bay in the regular-season finale. ... Falcons QB Matt Ryan had a record-breaking season, setting team records for passing yards (4,719), touchdowns (32) and a 68.6 completion percentage. ... Atlanta's receiving corps is right up with Green Bay's with veteran TE Tony Gonzalez (93 catches) and WRs Roddy White and Julio Jones.
Outlook: Rested Falcons and travel load weighing against Seahawks. Falcons, 27-17.
Texans (13-4) at Patriots (12-4)
TV: Ch. 4, 4:30 p.m.
The line: Patriots (-9½)
The scoop on the Texans: Best season in franchise history was marred by late season slump, which included a 42-14 rout at New England. A lot of fans and media jumped off the Texans bandwagon after that and losses to Minnesota at home and at Indianapolis. ... Houston advanced through the wild-card round with a 19-13 victory over the lackluster Cincinnati Bengals. Aside from RB Arian Foster, who ran for 1,424 yards and 15 TDs in the regular season, and TE Owen Daniels, who had nine receptions and a touchdown, the Houston offense was not that impressive. ... Defensively, the Texans ranked seventh in the league, although they did give up 29 passing touchdowns, that was even more than the Bills' 25. Houston will need huge games from DE J.J. Watt, the NFL leader with 20.5 sacks, LB Brooks Reed and DE Connor Barwin.
The scoop on the Patriots: Patriots have a 13-3 record at home in the postseason. Their only home playoff losses in the Belichick era were to the Jets (28-21) two years ago and Baltimore (33-14) in the 2009 season. ... A win for Brady would break a tie with Joe Montana at 13 for most wins in postseason play. ... Under Belichick, the Pats have lost only once in six playoff games after a bye week. The loss, again, was to the Jets in 2010. ... The Patriots led the league in offense, averaging 427.9 yards per game and scored a league-high 66 touchdowns. Brady threw for 34 scores. Stevan Ridley, the best running back you never hear about, led New England in rushing with 1,263 yards for a 4.4 average and 12 touchdowns. Wes Welker topped the receivers with 118 catches for an 11.5 average and six touchdowns. Having TE Rob Gronkowski healthy again will make the New England attack even more dangerous. Without Gronkowski, the Pats routed the Texans.
Outlook: Houston will try to keep Brady off the field with a time-consuming ground game. They may only succeed in avoiding a blowout. Patriots, 30-24.

quote: Not really. The flavor of communism in the USSR was far closer to a dictatorship than anything else. It had little in common with conservative or liberal viewpoints in the USA.
quote: To say that either US party favors discrimination against minorities is the height of propaganda. Neither party supports such a notion and both have passed laws to prevent it over the years.
quote: California has been a financial clusterfuck for far longer than 8 years.
quote: I have no problem with you making the counter-argument that the democrats aren't the demons the previous poster claimed they were, but I do have a problem with you doing the exact opposite to the republicans. If you are going to lay blame, lay it where it belongs, on the heads of BOTH parties. Blindly following either party and their candidates is the reason our country is in the situation it is in.
quote: In Michigan, as well as states around the union, there is a concerted effort by Republican governors with Repulican lead state legislatures that are superceding the will of the people.
quote: This past November the citiizens of Michigan voted to repeal Public Act 4 as they felt it infringed on their liberty to elect their public officials.
quote: Well, the govenor convened a lame duck session and pushed through an almost identical law with appropriation monies attached, which under Michigan constitution prevents it from ever appearing on a ballot before the people.
quote: Of course, this endeavor will see this cash strapped state in federal court defending itself from it's citizens. Sounds like dictatorship to me.

Anyway! I get to sneak away this weekend to Chicago for the Kenmore Blogger Summit, and they have a bit of a challenge going on for the attendees and our readers. Watch the video below and see how you can possibly win Sears gift cards! I get to pick 5 of your videos that I will then submit to Kenmore by Wednesday January 18. Yeah, not much time, but you don't even have to post them on your blog or anything (and as you can see from mine, I didn't even bother editing it, keep it real!) just email me your short video demonstrating an unusual way you use an everyday household appliance. Easy and fun.
- Open to US entries only
- Prizes will be $100, $50, and $25 Sears gift cards (Kenmore will choose the winners)
- Important: you don't have to have a Kenmore appliance to participate but you must cover up other branding so that it doesn't show in the video (I did that for my fridge... ahhh... see?)
- Email your video to me no later than 5PM CST Wednesday January 18 via firstname.lastname@example.com
And of course, if you don't have a video camera and still want to share your kitchen secrets, feel free to do so in the comments below. They won't be eligible to win prizes, but I still might have a chance to share them with Kenmore this weekend. And it's fun and stuff.
ED: I am so tempted to delete this post but I'm leaving it up because I love the kids in it. But, I was very disappointed that after doing the video and taking the time to upload entries to Kenmore at their request, they didn't even acknowledge my video or even say thank you. Or even act like they even watched it. And I have a feeling no one even did. I'm just bummed about it and well, that's all. After the summit, I don't plan to work with Kenmore again and wanted to keep it real here. Thanks for understanding.
Disclosure: I'll be staying at a hotel courtesy of Kenmore on Friday night and provided with meals and other goodies at the summit.

"O'Reilly Expands into Washington
with More Vineyards, New Winery"
Owen Roe's Winemaker Discovers Yakima Valley's Hidden Gems Via Tiny Vineyards
Author: Christina Kelly
Co-Author Jean Yates
It's not an unfamiliar sight to see Oregon winemaker David O'Reilly driving around the hills surrounding the Yakima Valley in his high-mileage Ford Explorer, scouting out vineyards and vineyard locations for possible fruit sources. O'Reilly is expanding his winery operations in Washington State, and his number one goal is to locate the best vineyards for wine production.
The winemaker who co-founded Sineann Winery and is the co-owner and winemaker for Owen Roe Winery in Newberg, Ore, will be introducing new wines and bringing a new Washington winery to the market.
O'Reilly is outwardly ever-changing—an idea man with a keen sense of marketing and a knack for making something work by making it the best he can. He does little advertising for his winery, Owen Roe, or his value-oriented offshoot labels, O'Reilly and Sharecropper wines, but he rarely has any inventory left by the vintage's end. Driven, but not manically so, he continues to look for new possibilities and new challenges that push the wine envelope—balanced soils, better canopy, lower crop yields and where possible, organic viticulture. O'Reilly thinks and re-thinks, garners opinions, and most of all scours the landscape to keep up with his growing efforts in the wine industry.
Inwardly, his drives are still the same—family (he and wife Angelica have eight home-schooled children), a constant desire to learn and be challenged, and a quality of life that that focuses less on accumulating wealth and more on comfort and basic desires. He is meticulous and uncompromising in the winery and in the vineyard and has no problem selling off juice to someone else if it doesn't meet his expectations.
Owen Roe wines are highly sought-after, using grapes from Oregon (with Pinot Noir as the flagship) and Washington (the high-end Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). Rather than expand his winery and produce more of the same thing, O'Reilly and business partner Jerry Owen purchased an old Carnation dairy facility in Sunnyside, Wash., and a vineyard dubbed Outlook, west of Sunnyside with about 105 planted acres. O'Reilly will be introducing new wines, new packaging and ultimately, years down the road, a new destination in the Yakima wine country.

The New Winery and Wines
O'Reilly's new winery location is not a pretty sight at first, but the potential to restore the old dairy office and five acres of storage tanks and outbuildings is huge. Prior to the purchase, the location was the site for Apex Cellars and Washington Hills winery. O'Reilly is restoring and cleaning up the compound to build a high-end, custom crush facility and a new winery, temporarily named Cream Winery of Yakima.
The winery will produce quart-sized milk containers, filled with wine and only for sale at the winery and in limited restaurants. The containers will be recyclable—a constant thread throughout all of O'Reilly's endeavors. He is also creating several new labels for value-priced wines—Mirth (Chardonnay) and Lenore (Syrah, named after the Edgar Allen Poe poem) and another red wine blend, all produced at the Sunnyside facility with Yakima Valley grapes. O'Reilly created a new company, Corvidae, which will sell the value-priced wines, made with fruit not used in Owen Roe wines, or with fruit from the Yakima Valley that passes the O'Reilly litmus test.
Above, David O'Reilly with Red WIllow Vineyard owner
"What defines this area is beautiful fruit, shallow soils and hillsides," said O'Reilly while driving around the hills surrounding Yakima. "The acids in the fruit are great. We found green growers who don't manipulate the fruit."
Although a designated appellation, the Yakima Valley has been under the radar for many years, with the likes of Walla Walla and the Columbia Valley appellations garnering most of the attention. O'Reilly says the region is still being explored, "There is something really wild west about this area—there are so many places to discover."
The Ireland-born winemaker isn't pulling up his Oregon Pinot Noir roots, but rather planting new ones in the Sunnyside area. Many of the high-end red wines produced under the Owen Roe label are now made at the Sunnyside winery. These wines receive killer high scores with wine critics and are difficult to find the moment they are released.
By purchasing the Outlook Vineyard, O'Reilly is expanding his wine offerings to include wines at all price points, but adding much more in the value wines category. The more exclusive Owen Roe wines will also have some new sources, but O'Reilly gave himself more options with the new vineyard and new vineyard sources.

Vineyards Added to the Portfolio
In addition to the purchase of 280 acres of the Outlook Vineyard, O'Reilly added Rattlesnake Hills Vineyard (56 acres) to his portfolio. The vineyard is near the town of Union Gap, and the winemaker says he will likely change the name. In addition, O'Reilly discovered a tiny, three-fourths of an acre of Cabernet Franc tucked away in the middle of nowhere, called Slide Mountain and immediately became the only client after tasting the fruit.
Mike Sauer, owner of Red Willow Vineyard in Yakima, says O'Reilly rescued his vineyard after Columbia Winery pulled out of their large contracts a few years ago and left Sauer with tons of unspoken-for vines. O'Reilly got wind of the available fruit and immediately drove to the vineyard, where he and Sauer knocked out the grape contracts.
Above, David O'Reilly shows off his new vineyard
"After a while, you know what you are looking for, and Red Willow had the right soil and great exposure," said O'Reilly.
Other vineyards in the Owen Roe portfolio from Washington include the DuBrul Vineyard, where his top-tier wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are produced, Elerding Vineyard (Horse Heaven Hills), Elephant Mountain Vineyard, Wallula Vineyard and Erickson Road Vineyard - all in or near the Yakima AVA.
"David is not happy with the status quo," said his longtime business partner Jerry Owen. "We don't know the height we can reach with these new vineyards in Washington. But, we believe to reach the ultimate, the best, it will be much higher than now as we continue to expand our vineyard sources."
The Owen Roe label sources fruit from many vineyards in Oregon and even one Pinot Noir vineyard in the Santa Maria region in Northern California. O'Reilly makes Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills, Chehalem and Eola Hills and Kilmore vineyards to name a few. His popular Abbot's Table is a blend from vineyards throughout the Northwest. A Cabernet Sauvignon is made from an obscure vineyard in Southern Oregon (Ironbird Vineyard) that O'Reilly discovered in one of the 'drive-arounds.'
"He has great flexibility each year," says Matt Rice, who works at Owen Roe in distribution and marketing. "He doesn't compromise on his wines. If it doesn't fit what he wants, it will not go into the wine program."
However, Rice says a wine that may not make it into O'Reilly's top-end wine could be a part of his value wines, if the juice is good. With new fruit sources online, Rice says O'Reilly will have even greater choices for what goes into his various portfolios.
For example, the new value wines from Mirth and Lenore will likely compete at price points similar to the Magnificent Wine Company's House Wine (founded by K Vintner's Charles Smith of Walla Walla). The range could be from $8 to $15.
A New Winemaker Added to the Equation
Two years ago, O'Reilly hired Erik Brasher, an enologist with a strong sense of soil, crop yields and canopy, who also loved to make wine. After striking up a quick working relationship, O'Reilly wanted Brasher to oversee all wines at both the Oregon and Washington facilities. The 2008 vintage will have Brasher's hand in the wines.
A graduate of Michigan State University in viticulture, Brasher moved to Corvallis, Oregon for a master's degree at Oregon State University. OSU waived tuition and placed Brasher in its research department, studying the quality affect of grapes at different crop levels. After he earned his degree, he worked as the enologist at Argyle Winery for two vintages, and then Rex Hill for one vintage, until they were sold to A to Z Winery.
When he met David O'Reilly, Brasher said he felt like he found his place in the wine industry.
"At first, I was struck by his vision and the clarity of what he wanted to do," said Brasher. "Many winemakers are unclear about what they want. Not with David. He has a vision, and looks at wine regions, trying to get the best expression from the terroir."
Above right, Owen Roe's vines marked out in Red Willow Vineyard
Brasher was also impressed with O'Reilly's ability to connect with people instantly and strike up a conversation and a working relationship with those he brings into the Owen Roe fold.
"He has a lot of projects going on, but he surrounds himself with good talent," said Brasher. "It is one of the keys to his success."
As someone who believes in working with the best, O'Reilly insists on feeding his crews in Oregon and Washington at lunchtime with fresh food. He hires a cook to serve lunch daily. The crew sits down for the meal and talks about the work of the day or things they hear in the industry. If O'Reilly is in town, he joins them for a meal.
Jerry Owen, who has known O'Reilly since 1999 when they started Owen Roe, says O'Reilly puts great teams of people together and then, as quarterback, steers them with his vision of the winery.
"He is a very good executive," said Owen. "David is principled, driven to make great wine and puts the right team together to support what he is building."
Both Owen and O'Reilly spend an extraordinary amount of time in vineyards—Owen more in Oregon and O'Reilly in Washington (he makes the three-hour drive to Sunnyside every week). After years in Oregon vineyards, Owen says his partner is driven to do things the right way in Washington vineyards.
"We aren't fighting the growers in Washington to drop the fruit like we did when we first started out," said Owen, referring to O'Reilly's commitment to low-yield crops for more intensity in the fruit. "The Yakima Valley has much to discover. There were bad wines made from that region in the early days, but we see great opportunities."
With high scores for his opulent and rich Owen Roe DuBrul Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Riesling, the two business partners say the wine speaks for itself. The grapes from the Yakima AVA are carefully tended, with punch downs by hand, racking by gravity and nurturing along with way without winemaker interference. The labels are hand-crafted and a work of art by themselves.

More Plans on the Horizon
O'Reilly is so convinced the undiscovered Yakima Valley will continue to yield beautiful fruit in the future, he is peering into the crystal ball of winemaking and planning on the philosophy of "if you build it, they will come."
Once Cream Winery is cleaned up and made "greener," construction will take place to preserve the dairy atmosphere and remove unwanted and unsafe buildings. O'Reilly wants an organic winery, a sustainable facility, a tasting room and an interactive tour of the facility so consumers can see how wine is made with a light carbon footprint. The hope, of course, is once the winery comes together, other business leaders in the region will join in to help make Sunnyside a destination site, with restaurants, lodging and activities.
"I don't need a showy Chateau to convince everyone about my wine," O'Reilly said. "The wines will speak for themselves. The grapes will shine through. The terroir will be expressed in the glass."
At his new vineyard, Rattlesnake Hills, O'Reilly inherited 12 acres of four different varieties of cherries. He plans to farm them organically for sale and can see products from the fruit. A talented chef who does most of the cooking for his family (and freezes meals when he is traveling in different markets across the country), O'Reilly said his wish lists include making organic cheeses.
O'Reilly sees the big picture in front of him, and has the patience to make the right decisions along the way, wait for the right timing and above all, spend the money to get the quality that he knows will pay off in the long run.
"I don't know when he sleeps," joked his assistant Matt Rice. "He is always on an even keel and optimistic. He is a unique guy."
David O'Reilly and Owen Roe Winery
September 2001
If there is such a thing as the luck of the Irish, winemaker Owen Roe Winery's David O'Reilly has found a pot of gold underneath his Willamette Valley, Oregon rainbow.
O'Reilly is a dapper man- meticulous in appearance and in his work. When he smiles, there is mischief in his eyes and smile crinkles-a sign that smiling is a frequent behavior.
Everything about Owen Roe that O'Reilly touches has to be the best. It is almost an obsession with him. From huge, gorgeous wines to hand-numbered bottles and objects of art gracing his labels, O'Reilly spends the money for a total package.
"Every thing we do is meticulous," said O'Reilly, 37, one of 12 children born in Belfast, Ireland. "What we do is totally uncompromised. It is a lifestyle that includes hard work, but the product is thoroughly rewarding."
Everything O'Reilly does is also thoroughly Irish. The wineries associated with O'Reilly- Owen Roe, O'Reilly's - have ties to his former homeland. Owen Roe was named for Owen Roe O'Neil, a great Irish patriot. O'Reilly's, features a drawing of a huge Irish wolfhound on the label.
" I like to tell people that I got involved in the business to follow an Irishman's dreams," said O'Reilly with a wink and an Irish brogue that comes and goes. "Imagine making a living by drinking!"
He jokes of course, because O'Reilly is dead serious about wine making. Although he enjoys the high ratings bestowed on his wines, O'Reilly says he is more satisfied with great taste.
From Harsh Life to Lush Life
The combination of his Irish heritage and obsession about being the best says a lot about the affable winemaker. His luck and his taste for the good life wasn't always granted.
As a young child in Belfast, the O'Reilly family-all 14-was of modest means. Life was harsh, and often violent as the family witnessed a depressing catalogue of death and injury due to sectarian violence.
Between 1966 and 1999, a total of 3,636 people were killed and 36,000 injured as the conflict spread beyond Northern Ireland's borders onto the British mainland and elsewhere, according to reports. Many of the victims were innocent civilians.
O'Reilly said two of his uncles were murdered, a sister suffered a traumatic injury, and one never knew when and where a homemade bomb would explode.His family scraped up enough money to move to British Columbia, Canada just before his teen years, and O'Reilly never looked back.
"I'm sure the past did have some impact on why I want the best from what I produce," O'Reilly said, thoughtfully. "I'm not like Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes-I choose not to look back and dwell on the past."
On to Oregon
Instead, O'Reilly looked to the future, majoring in philosophy at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA, where he met his future wife, Angelica. It was there that he discovered a love of land and soil. He worked at a small winery in Southern California performing all the tasks necessary to get the wine out the door.
"If you want to study truth and reality, it's grounded in nature," O'Reilly said. "The wine business is drawn intrinsically to nature and soil. You don't get into this business to make a fortune-I was drawn to it."
For more than six years, O'Reilly worked for Elk Cove performing marketing tasks. However, he was leaning more and more about winemaking. The urge to make his own wine was singing inside his head. It was at this time that he met Peter Rosback, an amateur winemaker who helped the winery during crush.
Rosback was also bitten by the urge to produce wine. With Irish heritage and love of good wine in common, they struck a partnership and created Sineann.
"David has a great palate and is one of the best marketing people in the state," Rosback said. "We're a good team. Each of us brings talents to the table to produce the best wine we can. Of course, it starts with great fruit, and that also has to be the best we can get."
In addition to Sineann, Rosback also makes wines for Medici, where the owners allow Sineann to be produced. He also consults with O'Reilly on Owen Roe and O'Reilly's.
"Peter brings an irrepressible passion to everything he does," O'Reilly said. "I think that's why we are such good partners."
O'Reilly and Rosback left Elk Cove in 1998 to produce wines in relatively small quantities. While Sineann is produced at Medici, O'Reilly has a new winery to produce Owen Roe and O'Reilly's. He spends a great deal of time on the road, from spot to spot, overseeing vineyards. He and Rosback purchase grapesfrom the Willamette Valley to Hood River to Walla Walla and Columbia valleys in Washington state.
The good news comes in the form of a converted barn, his own facility for Owen Roe and O'Reilly's. Sineann will continue production at Medici for the time being.
"I will be happy to have one location to produce my wines," he added.

It appears Claysburg-Kimmel High School will have a new football coach for the 2013 season.
According to sources, Joe Kitt, who has guided the Bulldogs for the past six seasons, has turned in his resignation.
Kitt took over for Jeff Lingenfelter in 2007 and posted an 18-39 mark at Claysburg, going 4-6 last season. The Bulldogs went to the District 6 Class A playoffs in 2008 and 2011 while he was at the helm.
Kitt wouldn't confirm his resignation or comment on it, nor would C-K athletic director Josh Klausman. However, no one denied it, either.
"At this time, right now, no comment," Klausman said. "Nothing is official, not until February, and I won't comment on anything until the board meets again."
Claysburg would be the second football coaching opening in the area this offseason. Penn Cambria is expected to name a new coach at its February school board meeting after Ernie Fetzer stepped down late in the 2012 season.

Wahoos Lose
Cornell pulled off a huge upset as they defeated the #1 ranked University of Virginia Cavaliers. The Big Red played flawlessly. Their game plan was possession. Just like last week Cornell controlled the tempo of the game. They couldn't help the fact that just about everything they threw at Virginia goaltender Adam Ghitelman seemed to get sucked in like a black hole into the net. At the end of the first half he only had 2 saves, and 8 goals against.
I will say this for Ghitelman, his defense was not helping the situation. Between missed coverages, poor slides, players just not having their head on a swivel and missing the cutters, it just seemed like no one was communicating out there on defense.
UVA didn't get the ball on offense much. Cornell baked up their shots, and Ghitelman wasn't making any saves. When UVA did try and transition, they committed some unforced turnovers. When they did have scoring opportunities (when not completely missing the goal), Cornell goalie, Jake Myers made the necessary stops.
I called it in my preview…when UVA middies get stymied, UVA loses. Virginia's midfield totaled 1 goal and no assists. On the flipside, Cornell had 8 players with goals.
The show-down is set for a Central New York final…the question remains…will SU get title#10, or will Max Siebald carry his team to their first title in 21 years.

Given the cold and wet conditions last week, an extra hour of sleep, or rest, on Sunday was welcomed by most.
We marked the end of daylight-saving time, meaning we ''fell back'' and pushed clocks back one hour, with the end result being an hour of daylight moved from evening to morning. But most importantly, the biannual task of turning dials and resetting digital clocks is a reminder to all homeowners to check and / or replace batteries in smoke alarms.
According to statistics, more than 1.7 million fires strike American homes and businesses yearly. Often, those fires are preventable.
It's a fact that properly functioning smoke alarms can and do save lives, and all homes should have at least one alarm installed on each level. Smoke alarms should be installed in the basement and outside every separate sleeping area, experts have said.
The smoke alarms require little care. Homeowners should test them once a month using the test button and remember to change the batteries once a year or sooner if the alarm chirps.
Smoke alarms, fortunately, are in an estimated 93 percent of American homes these days. They're affordable and easily installed, but home owners must be diligent in testing the alarms and making sure the batteries are charged.
It's also important to note that many smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, according to officials with the National Fire Protection Association.
And while smoke alarms remain the single most important way of preventing home fire fatalities, it's important that families have a home escape plan in place, too. The fact is once a smoke alarms sounds, family members have only seconds to respond and get out of the home, and there's not time to hunt for family members and pets and gather possessions. That's why adults and children should plan and practice home fire drills, allowing everyone in the home to become familiar with an escape route and a meeting place outside the home.
We urge you to take a few minutes, if you didn't already on Sunday, and make sure your home smoke alarms are properly installed and are working. It could save your life and the lives of your family.

Tesla Motors is probably most notable
all-electric Roadster. The $100,000+ sports car, which is based
on the Lotus Elise chassis, has a driving range of 244 miles – one
Tesla Roadster, however, was able to travel
313 miles on a single charge -- and can zip to 60 mph in less
than four seconds. However, Tesla is looking to take its electric
car-building prowess to a somewhat more mainstream audience with its
four-door Model S electric sedan.
This is where the federal government
steps in to work its magic. According
to the Detroit News, Tesla Motors today closed on a
deal to secure $465 million in low-cost loans from the Energy
Department. The funds will be used to build manufacturing plants in
California for the Model S and its powertrain.
The company was originally approved
for the loan back in June of 2009. The $465 million will come
from the Advanced
Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program which is providing a
total of $25 billion to automakers that develop new fuel efficient
vehicles. Other notable names to get in on the loans include Nissan
($1.6 billion) and Ford ($5.9 billion).
"This is an investment in our
clean energy future that will create jobs and reduce our dependence
on foreign oil," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
"It will help build a customer
base and begin laying the foundation for American leadership in the
growing electric vehicles industry. This is part of a sustained
effort to develop and commercialize technologies that will be broadly
deployed throughout the American auto industry."
As previously reported by DailyTech,
the Model S will have a driving
range of up to 300 miles and can dash to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds.
The fetching sedan weighs in at a portly 4,000 pounds (1,200 pounds of
which comes from its lithium-ion battery pack). If all goes according
to plan, the base Model S will cost around $50,000 after a
government-backed $7,500 tax credit is taken into consideration. For
comparison, the Chevrolet Volt is expected to cost
in the "low 30s" after the $7,500 tax credit is applied. At
that price point, GM still contends that it can make a profit.
The Model S is scheduled to go into
production in 2012 and yearly output is pegged at 20,000 units per
quote: Well, they are receiving loans, which means they eventually have to repay them (i.e. the government is not giving this money away). The loans have the objective of generating future jobs, which is what the economy needs. Whether or not this is going to come to fruition we'll have to wait and see.
quote: I mean, pick your battle: education, health, war, etc... etc... etc...
quote: Pretty obvious these battles were chosen for the people, not by the people.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — According to a press release from the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, the National Fire Protection Association states that more fires are reported on July 4 than any other day of the year in the United States, and more than half of those fires reported are caused by fireworks.
NLTPD offers the following safety tips:
• Leave fireworks to the professionals. Please do not use consumer fireworks (includes sparklers and firecrackers).
• The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display conducted by professionals.

text: The 28-meter-high tower built in 1983 replaces an earlier tower. The Irchel Tower was in the past a bone of contention. In the 1970s, Canton Zurich's power plants agreed to finance the new structure, provided a new antenna for the planned radio network was installed atop the tower. About 50 steps lead to the top of the Irchel Tower. This vantage point has a rest area and is well-suited for families. Hiking trails from various directions make the tower accessible.

LOCKPORT – Johnny W. Collins, a Niagara Falls cocaine dealer who absconded in 2006 while on interim probation instead of showing up for final sentencing, was ordered to Niagara County Jail for a year Wednesday.
"Originally, this probably would have been a probation case," County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said.
Collins, 56, had pleaded guilty in 2005 to fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and was placed on one year of interim probation by then-County Judge Peter L. Broderick Sr. on Jan. 19, 2006. Collins had admitted selling cocaine in the Falls on May 14, 2005.

Coroner's Office investigates record number of deaths
November 3, 2013
LISBON — Monday's death of an Akron man from suspected natural causes was the 124th case investigated this year by the Columbiana County Coroner's Office, eclipsing the old record of 123 set in 200....
"Phillips is at a loss to explain why the number has skyrocketed this year."
Why don't you try this? The entire country is MISERABLE. People are depressed, poor, getting poorer by the day. People are suffering from high prices, debt, soaring living expenses. No jobs, increasing populaton, sharing the wealth and creating even more poor. Taxes and more taxes. Drugs are soaring. Crime is soaring. A punishment system in America that does not DETER crime. Cops who have their hands tied. Courts playing God and Doctors. WEAK LAWS. The most deadly one of all...GOVERNMENT GROWTH THAT IS KILLING THIS COUNTRY by leaks and bounds. People are don't care anymore they have nothing to care or live for!

I'm 27 weeks along today. The waddle has started. And my belly has conveniently become a nice little shelf perfect for propping books and checking my iPhone. I find myself listening to my body more and more, resting a lot, putting my feet up, and sleeping as much as possible. I'm making a baby in there! It's magical. I forget that I've done this three times before. Because it really does feel like the very first time.

You look very cute. I'm finding that not only did my pregnancy with Aisling feel like the very first time, but it feels like I'm a mom for the first time too.ReplyDelete
what a cute picture. I thought the title meant that you just turned 27 years old :)ReplyDelete
Very cute.ReplyDelete
I love the pregnant waddle.
She'll be here before we all know it!
That "shelf" sure comes in handy sometimes. Matt makes fun of me when I use my prego belly to prop things, but you might as well make use of it. :-)ReplyDelete
You're looking great.
Ah, I remember those days all too well. I was so bad about leaving crumbs on my "shelf" after I'd eaten. Everyone knew what I had for lunch.ReplyDelete
And it became more and more difficult to gauge the proper distance between my ever growing belly and cupboards or doors that I'd inadvertently swing open and knock my baby with. He turned out okay though.
You look too cute. Love the apple.
Very cute shelf!ReplyDelete
It seems like you were just only a few weeks. I can't wait for the little girl!ReplyDelete
I'm 21 1/2 weeks...getting to that shelf point. You look adorable still. I'm jealous. :)ReplyDelete
At the time I was pregnant with Joel we had a chihuahua named Cocoa, and Cocoa loved to curl up on top of the "shelf". He would give me quite a look when Joel moved a lotReplyDelete
I'm at 11 weeks and remembering what I felt like when I was pregnant with Bubbalu...it IS magical!ReplyDelete
It is kind of a first. Your first girl! :)ReplyDelete

I love your preggy clothes. I'm having the toughest time myself finding things that fit, as I seem to have gone down a size or two since being pregnant last.ReplyDelete
I dont think I ever noticed before how you're exactly 1 week ahead of me.
The best part of pregnancy! And you look lovely.ReplyDelete
You are so beautiful! You could also call it a tray table.ReplyDelete
Technically, it is the first time you're doing this! You're making a girl this time! ;D You look awesome!ReplyDelete
You wear pregnancy so well. Love the apple on your belly. Cute shot.ReplyDelete
Such a cute picture! I got into a bad habit of proping my arm up on my belly and now almost a year and a half later I find myself still doing it. Not so cute when there isn't a baby in there.ReplyDelete
you look so beautiful! we took a picture of a cup balance on my belly a few weeks ago...hahah!ReplyDelete
27 weeks already? Where does the time go? It may not seem like it to you (you know, since you're the one carrying the baby and all) but it's going by fast!ReplyDelete
Apparently you have a fruit shelf there too! HA!
Cute as always Steph!
LOL your so adorable!!!ReplyDelete
I just read your story about Noah and am blown away... I am a pediatric oncology nurse and used to work at CMH in Chicago. What a great hospital and I am so glad to hear that you found someone who would LISTEN to you there! I also have a son named Noah, so your "Noah's Story" headline caught my eye.ReplyDelete
I hope that he is still doing well and am so thrilled that you were able to find help for such a debilitating condition - Isn't it amazing how powerful our motherly intuition is!
YEAH!!! You look fantastic! It almost makes me miss being pregnant. Almost. It does make me miss all the great parts - just not the tired, sore back and having to go through labor part.ReplyDelete

I love that dress. I also love the stage in pregnancy with the waddle. Pregnant ladies are just a joy to everyone. I just loved that everywhere I went people would just smile. Especially when I had the other kids in tow. Oh how I miss it....and pray I get to have the fourth.ReplyDelete
27 weeks! Wow! It is so exciting to follow along in this beautiful journey. Big prayers for the little girl....ReplyDelete
ahh.. the shelf. :-) i kinda miss my shelf heheReplyDelete
i use to prop my cereal bowl on it every morning w/ caleb
LOL How funny. I can't wait for my big belly. Love that dress too ;) ;)ReplyDelete
Too funny! I miss having a shelf on my body.ReplyDelete
Ha! My belly used to make a nice little table for snacking in bed (as long as it was nothing hot). I kind of missed it when Suzi came out!ReplyDelete
I hope I'm as cute and stylish as you, Lord willing there's a next time!ReplyDelete

I've got a picture of me at my baby shower, and I'm resting my plate of food on my bump!! lol!
Love the apple resting on your belly. Hmmm . . . that's what I'll be looking for next time I run into you. LOL!ReplyDelete
Steph - you look absolutely adorable! I love the way that you're sharing this experience. I look so forward to your posts. I do agree with you...my second pregnancy did feel like a first and when my 2nd son was born he was so different than my first one that in some ways I felt like a first-time mom. How funny-I just read the same comment from Peanut Butter and Jelly boats!!! :-)ReplyDelete
i've been away...and have enjoyed catching up with you tonight. =)ReplyDelete
gotta love that shelf and waddle! glad you're listening to yourself...enjoy!! =)
Hilarious! I never really used my shelf for anything other than a handrest. :)ReplyDelete
ahh, yes, love the shelf!!ReplyDelete
you look wonderful~ wow, 27 weeks?!your sweet baby girl will be here in no time!
Oh how I (sometimes) wish I could be pregnant again!ReplyDelete
You look beautiful!
That's so sweet. Probably b/c you're creating sugar and spice this time around. Whole new ballgame.ReplyDelete
Love the shelf!!
Happy Weekend!
Oh my gosh. That is so sweet.ReplyDelete
Don't you love being pregnant? I LOVED being pregnant! I'm so jealous of your ability to breastfeed. I really struggled, but I'm praying next time will be a success!ReplyDelete
You look gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I still have that book I promised you, and I promise promise I'll get it in the mail next week.
You can use your blog posts as reminders.
If only everyone saw their fourth pregnancy as beautifully as you do. I only dream at this point of a third or fourth and if it does come to pass I hope to remember your words. Magical, truly magical.ReplyDelete

Low Cost Weekend Ideas: Visit Local Wineries
I'm starting a new series here and it's called Low Cost Weekend Ideas. I plan on trying to highlight some cheap fun things to do on weekends that are relatively low-cost but loads of fun. Now, chances are you might not be able to take advantage of some of these ideas depending on where you live, but maybe it'll spark an idea (that I invite you to share) for what to do the next time Friday rolls around.
Everyone knows about the California wineries, the famed Napa Valley, but there are tons of local wineries up and down the east coast as well. In fact, there are so many that Mr. Carlo De Vito has penned a book titled East Coast Wineries (blogger too!) that my friends in New York swear by.
So what's fun about going to a winery? If you've never been, you're missing out. All wineries will have a tasting room in which for a few bucks will permit you to sample a whole slew of their wines. In fact, in some places you can try all of their wines and they won't even collect a single cent. A lot of these wineries have a very hometown friendly feel to them and many times the person pouring the wines will be the owners themselves. Sometimes, if the winery is big enough, they'll have a dining room with some live music as well.
A few weekends ago, in a weekend trip up to visit from friends in New York, we visited a few wineries over the course of three or four hours. Now, I'm not a wine and cheese type of guy, I'm more like a six pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon (Natty Light actually but I do enjoy PBR) guy but the four of us popped a bottle of wine and shared some mini-pizza's, a cheese plate, and some mozzarella & tomato sandwiches to the sound of two guys strumming away on their guitars. Granted, that wasn't a low cost idea but visiting a winery, enjoying the sights of the countryside, and sampling some wines isn't a bad way to kill a few hours on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Just remember… don't drink and drive.

When the fuel in a vehicle hits the inside of the tank hard enough to shake it, nearly always cause by making sudden, unplanned turns. Tank slapping is a symptom of bad driving.
Many cars use special baffles to help reduce this.

Do you ever feel like our nation has been weighed in the balances by God and found wanting?
We have a government that is trying to get rid of all traces of Jesus. Not other religions, just Jesus.
Kids cannot mention Him in school without getting expelled.
We kill babies by the millions.
We take what God says is wrong and we say it is right.
We flaunt sexuality and other worldly values as if that is what life is all about.
Our forefathers know more of what life is about than we have after we let them take prayer out of schools. God honored their values and blessed this nation as no nation has ever been blessed.
Capitalism has made this nation an industrial giant and contributed to our greatness. Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried. So where is our present administration leading us, Right into socialism. The government wants control and have ownership of everything.
Even the church in our nation is asleep and in a coma, unaware of what is happening outside of its walls. The church is looking more like the world instead of being a separate people. They are bringing the sin of the world within and many have gone into apostasy to be politically correct.
God, please forgive us and have mercy upon us. You are our strength and our source.
We must return to the Bible and all it stands for. We must conform to God's word.

on March 7, 2013 - 12:13 AM
At the last of four budget work sessions Tuesday, Iroquois School Superintendent Douglas Scofield explained why even a fairly moderate tax levy, like the 2.24 percent increase he's proposing for 2013-14, is not guaranteed to be approved by voters in May. The outcome could hinge on turnout.
To an audience of less than a dozen people, some of them district employees, the superintendent said only 45 percent of registered parents voted last year, which was more than double the year before. Of staff members who live in the district, only 57 percent voted, a 10 percent increase from the prior year.
"My goal is 3,500 voters this year. The more people that vote, the greater it is for everyone," Scoffield said.
In a district where a budget failed by a hundred votes just two years ago, it's not surprising that voter demographics are part of the budget presentation. Turnout in the district has typically been lackluster.
In 2010 and 2011, only about 13 percent – or 1,700 of 13,000 registered voters – came out to vote on the school budget. In 2012, when a grass-roots campaign urged resident to come out and vote, that number jumped to 3,000, or 21 percent.
About 2,000 eligible residents are not registered.
"The budget passed by over 1,000 votes last year," the superintendent said, "but it wasn't just parents voting in favor of it. That shows that a number of people without kids recognized the value-added effect of education in the community."
Also, board members debated what should be cut if the budget is defeated and a contingency budget has to be adopted. Scofield proposed increased class sizes, cuts in athletics and clubs and using $97,923 in additional reserve funds.
School Board President David Lowrey said that because the district is already using $815,579 in reserves to keep taxes low next year, the district has to draw the line.
"If parents don't come out and support the budget, then we should cut programs. Don't use more reserves," Lowrey said.
Business Administrator Joanne George echoed those sentiments. "Fund balance is a one-shot revenue. You have to have a very thought-out plan using them or you wind up in trouble," she said.

Introducing the VIO Contour! Featuring improved quick change tabs and more color options!
The Virtue Versatile Innovative Optic (VIO) is the most comfortable paintball mask ever designed, featuring a quick change, fog resistant thermal lens, and an innovative versatile design that allows the player to easily change out every aspect of the goggle - from the face mask to the foam, ear pads, goggle strap, and lens. The VIO is equipped with a large lens, which provides a wide field of view. The dual thermal pane prevents fogging, while the anti-scratch coatings prolong the life of the lens. Most important of all, the lens can be changed in seconds to the Smoke, High Contrast or advanced Chromatic lenses. This lens offers the best field of view and can be removed and replaced in seconds thanks to the integrated Hinge Lock. The VIO's lightweight, low profile design keeps the goggle compact and streamlined, while increasing protection of the ears, face and chin. Breathe easier and vent condensation faster than ever with the massive airflow throughout the entire face mask. With a removable face mask, goggle strap, ear pads, and lens the VIO is available in thousands of customizable configurations. Players can personalize their VIO before purchase get only the parts you want instead of a bunch of "spares".
