GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Scott Good knows his way around Gettysburg.
The 23-year-old graduate of Medaille College in Buffalo lives in Hanover, Pa., about 15 miles from the site of the Civil War's most studied battle. He is a member of three Civil War re-enactor units. Several of his ancestors fought in the war, some on the Union side, some with "the Rebs."
He's combed through the archives at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum, taken visitors to pretty much every nook and cranny of the battlefield, and regaled them with tales of soldiers who made an imprint on the military campaign atop this hallowed ground.
Few of these soldiers amaze Good as much as a Union artillery commander who grew up in Fredonia, N.Y.
Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing and his Battery A, 4th U.S. Artillery, took the brunt of Pickett's Charge 150 years ago this afternoon – and were instrumental in stopping it.
"Why he is my favorite is because of the wounds he suffered before he died and what he did," Good said recently, while dressed in 61st Pennsylvania infantry blue and standing at "The Angle" on Cemetery Ridge. This is the spot where Cushing stood up to the best that the Army of Northern Virginia could muster on July 3, 1863, in an effort to pierce, then overrun, the Union Army of the Potomac line.
"He knew he was dead," Good said, "but he still continued to fight."
Cushing, 22 when he died, is such a hero that two communities proudly lay claim to him: Delafield, Wis., where he was born, and Fredonia, where he, his mother and four siblings moved after his father died when Cushing was 6.
His grandfather, Zattu Cushing, was the first settler in Fredonia, in 1805.
Cushing – who was enrolled at West Point at age 16 and graduated at the start of the Civil War – is considered a favorite son of the Chautauqua County village. A statue to honor him was erected in 2006 in Pioneer Cemetery, along Main Street, about 25 yards from his grandfather's grave site.
Congress has considered a request from historians in Wisconsin in recent years to bestow the Medal of Honor posthumously on the young Cushing – an effort supported by their colleagues in the Southern Tier – but lawmakers have failed to give approval after a decade worth of pleas. One hurdle is that neither community is in contact with any living Cushing relatives.
"I think most people, when they know the story, would agree he's deserving, but without there being family pushing for it and the right publicity, I don't know that it will ever happen," said Todd Langworthy, historian for the Town of Pomfret, which includes the Village of Fredonia.
Cushing had endeared himself to Union commanders and his soldiers before he set foot in Gettysburg, but he made his most heroic mark in the final hours of the historic battle.
A massive monument to the Army of Northern Virginia – one of about 1,400 that dot the nearly 6,000-acre Gettysburg military park – sits nearly a mile west of The Angle, along Seminary Ridge, a portion of the battlefield that Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's army captured on the first day of the three-day confrontation.
On the final day, Lee lined up the vast majority of his army on the ridge and began a massive, hourlong artillery bombardment of The Angle. His army then swept across the field between the two points, flanked by Union troops on the highlands atop Little Round Top, and Culp's and Cemetery hills.
As they closed in on the Union line, the center of the formation took the shape of an arrow, its tip pointed directly at three artillery batteries, including Cushing's and another commanded by Capt. Andrew Cowan from Auburn, N.Y., southwest of Syracuse.
Pickett's Charge thundered toward the batteries, supported by Confederate cannon fire that already had weakened the Union line. But as the Rebels neared a post-and-rail fence along the Emmitsburg Road, Cushing, his men and other Union batteries trained their fire on them, cutting them to pieces with blasts of canister.
As the fighting raged, all but two of Cushing's cannons were knocked out of service. He was encouraged to pull back but refused, after gaining permission from a nearby general to remain.
The fence slowed the rebels but did not stop them.
"When they got to the Emmitsburg Road, (Cushing) was already shot in the shoulder," Good said last month, while standing near one of the Union commander's cannons at The Angle.
"Then a shell fragment burst nearby, and it cut open his abdomen, and he was still alive and standing, holding in his guts. He couldn't scream, so his sergeant major was the one yelling the orders for him as he stood here directing his battery fire. … (For several minutes), he held in his own guts while directing fire before he was finally killed" by a gunshot to the head.
"The amount of pain you would have to endure to do that is unbelievable."
At roughly the same time, the leader of Pickett's Charge, Lt. Gen. Lewis Armistead, was shot three times and stopped within about a dozen feet of Cushing's artillery battery. He would die from his injuries two days later at a nearby farmstead.
Rebels took control of the battery for a very short time before Union reinforcements closed in on them from three sides.
The rout was on. Lee's army retreated. The North had won Battle of Gettysburg.
"The soldiers knew what they had done," said Thomas M. Grace, secretary of the Buffalo Civil War Roundtable. "They turned back the second largest assault of the entire war."
Cushing and Armistead are depicted in a famed cyclorama painting that is part of the Gettysburg museum in the visitors center at the national military park. Armistead is seen mortally wounded and falling off a horse – he actually was on foot – as Cushing holds fast to one of his artillery pieces, the bottom of his crisp, white shirt bathed in a sickening yellowish color.
A monument to Cushing and his artillery battery sits at The Angle, along with some of the unit's cannons, within a few yards of a small marker where Armistead was mortally wounded.
Still, there is no Medal of Honor.
Langworthy, the Pomfret historian, said he sought support for such an honor from Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., and former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., about seven years ago, but neither advocated for the medal.
U.S. Army Secretary John M. McHugh, a Republican former congressman from outside Watertown, N.Y., recommended Cushing for one in 2010. Three years later, Congress has yet to approve the recommendation.
Nobody nominated Cushing for the medal within two years of his actions at Gettysburg, a requirement for the honor that Congress may waive.
On Memorial Day, Reps. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., R-Wis., and Ron Kind, D-Wis., sought medal approval in a recently passed House defense bill, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Senate and president still must give their nod.
First Sgt. Frederick Fuger, Cushing's second in command at Gettysburg, received the Medal of Honor in 1897.
Cushing's mother, Mary, raised four sons and a daughter in Fredonia. All four boys served in the Civil War. One of them, naval war hero William Cushing, had two daughters who taught school in the village for many years. They died in the 1960s and never married or had children, Langworthy said.
He said Mary Cushing's daughter moved to Missouri and had two children there, but nobody locally knows what became of them.
"Unfortunately, this medal is usually something that wants to be done pretty soon after something that's happened, not 150 years later," Langworthy said. "It's kind of hard after the fact, because everyone forgets so much."
Neither Delafield, Wis., nor Fredonia claimed this hero's body. His funeral and burial took place at West Point, where Cushing had graduated two years earlier.
Gen. Winfield Scott, who, like Cushing's Western New York grandfather, had fought in the War of 1812, attended the funeral service, and three years later was buried near the young artillery commander.
But it was Scott's namesake, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, who may have uttered the most famous words about Cushing after observing him at Gettysburg, where Hancock was second in command.
He called him, "The bravest man I ever saw."

After a solid preview in Boston, the cast of the Marilyn Monroe musical Bombshell – including dueling divas Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) and Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) – are back in the Big Apple and hoping to make their Broadway debut at the fabled St. James Theatre.
But opening isn't going to be easy: Bombshell producer Eileen Rand's ex-husband launches a plan to make her funding disappear and close down the show. While Eileen (Anjelica Huston) and her team, director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) and writers Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), do their best to keep up appearances, Smash's characters deal with a variety of other problems.
Julia is depressed because her marriage is ending; Derek is being accused of sexual harassment; Ivy is coming to terms with her actions from season 1, namely sleeping with Karen's ex-fiancé.
In the meantime, Broadway's circle of life continues: Two-time Tony winner Veronica Moore (Jennifer Hudson) is a sensation in Beautiful, a hit show about a "sweet, 1950s Aretha/Etta James-type" with an overbearing mother.
Later, Karen meets Jimmy Collins (Jeremy Jordan) and Kyle Bishop (Andy Mientus), a pair of talented youngsters with dreams of writing their own musical one day. When Karen gets a sample of Jimmy's music, she eventually gets Derek interested in directing their work. (If you're counting, that will make three shows within the show.)
But Smash's characters don't necessarily need a stage to sing! Apart from Veronica, who belts out "Mama Makes Three" in a scene from Beautiful, and Karen singing "Cut, Print ... Moving On" in Boston, many of the performances take place offstage.
In fact, there were no less than eight musical numbers in Smash's two-hour premiere. Among them: Karen and Veronica perform "On Broadway" at a press event where Eileen was hoping to announce the show's move to the St. James; Ivy performs "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House for an audition after getting fired from Bombshell; Karen and Ivy sing The Eurythmics' "Would I Lie to You?" dressed as Robert Palmer girls in Derek's drunk mind; Karen sings Jimmy's song, "Caught in the Storm" at his party in Brooklyn; and, at Eileen and Derek's request, Ivy belts out "They Just Keep Moving the Line" at a Broadway League event to prove that Bombshell hasn't completely imploded.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Oprah Winfrey
- 1960s
Hard Childhood
Leaving her grandmother's home in Mississippi, Winfrey splits her time between her mother, Vernita, in Milwaukee, Wis., and her father, Vernon, in Nashville, Tenn. She is raped and abused by family friends in Milwaukee. Winfrey moves to Nashville permanently in 1968, secretly pregnant at 14. Her father, a strict disciplinarian, helps her rebuild her life when her week-old baby dies.
- 1971
Beauty Queen
Winfrey wins Nashville's Miss Fire Prevention contest. The pageant sponsor, a radio station, offers Winfrey a job reading the afternoon headlines on air. After being crowned Miss Black Tennessee in 1972, she competes in the Miss Black America competition, but her burgeoning news career and college studies end her pageant days. At 19, she becomes anchor of Nashville's WTVF-TV station and leaves Tennessee State University to be the first female African-American news anchor in Nashville.
- 1983
Windy City Calls
After an eight-year stint cohosting a local morning show in Baltimore, Md., a 29-year-old Winfrey cohosts the talk show AM Chicago, which she eventually takes over. Within months she beats the top-rated Phil Donahue Show in viewership and AM Chicago is renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show.
- 1985
Natural Actress
Quincy Jones casts Winfrey in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple after seeing her TV show while on a business trip to Chicago. The role earns her an Oscar nomination.
- 1986
A Steady Man
Winfrey starts dating Stedman Graham, then the executive director of Athletes Against Drugs, an organization that teaches children about the dangers of drugs. She tells PEOPLE, "He's kind, and he's supportive, and he's 6'6"!" In 1992, they get engaged.
National Phenomenon
A month after Winfrey opens her own studio, Harpo Productions (her name spelled backwards), The Oprah Winfrey Show goes into national syndication and quickly becomes the highest-rated talk show in TV history. It goes on to attract 49 million viewers each week in the U.S. alone and is distributed to 122 other countries. In 2000, after winning more than 40 Emmys, Winfrey takes her show out of Emmy consideration.
Yo-Yo Dieting
Winfrey wheels 67 lbs. of animal fat onstage, illustrating the weight she lost in five months on a commercial liquid diet. "My greatest failure was in believing that the weight issue was just about the weight," she tells PEOPLE in 1991. "It's about not handling stress properly." In October 1994, a fit Winfrey achieves one of her dreams: completing the 26.2-mile Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C.
- 1991
A Child's Crusader
Winfrey testifies to the Senate in favor of the National Child Protection Act, which aims to create a national database of convicted child abusers. Two years later President Bill Clinton signs the "Oprah Bill," and in 2005, Winfrey launches "Oprah's Child Predator Watch List," which shows photos of fugitive child predators and offers $100,000 rewards for their capture.
- 1996
Book Club Bonanza
Winfrey kicks off her TV book club with Jacquelyn Mitchard's The Deep End of the Ocean. Every book selection since has become a bestseller. In 2001, Jonathan Franzen becomes the only author to turn down Winfrey's invitation to be on her show. In 2003, she revamps her book club to feature mainly classic works.
- 1998
Southern Justice
Winfrey heads to Amarillo, Texas, where a group of cattlemen sued her, alleging she defamed beef during a 1996 show on mad cow disease. While there, she tapes five shows a week at the Amarillo Little Theatre. The following month, the court rules in Winfrey's favor. She is sued again in April and wins her case again four years later.

SEPTA was named the best large transit system in North America on Thursday by the American Public Transportation Association.
"SEPTA is indeed the best of the best," said APTA president Michael Melaniphy in announcing the selection at SEPTA's monthly board meeting. "SEPTA's many accomplishments and achievements are models for the rest of the public-transit industry."
He cited SEPTA's consolidated control center, environmentally friendly construction programs, large fleet of hybrid buses, and financial management.
The award came on the day SEPTA announced that its ridership in the just-completed fiscal year, 339.3 million passengers, was the highest since 1989.

ENGLEWOOD � Whether it was a quirky quarterback or a quintessential one, Mike McCoy helped them fit comfortably and successfully into Denver�s offense.
The man who dusted off the old read-option for Tim Tebow a year ago and helped guide Peyton Manning through his outstanding comeback in Denver this season is a hot head coaching candidate for his work as the Broncos� offensive coordinator.
McCoy will use the bye week to interview for newly vacant head coaching jobs in Arizona and Chicago.
�With team success, you get recognition,� coach John Fox said.
Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said the team has reached out to McCoy to interview for their head-coaching vacancy following the firing of Ken Whisenhunt after six seasons that included the long-suffering franchise�s only Super Bowl appearance.
McCoy also will interview for Chicago�s position following the firing of Lovie Smith after a 10-6 season, a person familiar with the situation said. The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because he wasn�t authorized to publicly speak about the interviews, said the talks would take place in Denver this week.
McCoy, who interviewed with the Miami Dolphins last year after retooling Denver�s offense to fit Tebow�s skill set, burnished his head coaching credentials this season while blending the power formations the Broncos used in leading the league in rushing last year with Tebow and some of the spread formations that Manning ran in Indianapolis.
Manning returned from a year off due to neck issues to put up MVP numbers and lead Denver (13-3) to the top seed in the AFC playoffs with a league-best 11-game winning streak.
McCoy spent nine years as an offensive assistant in Carolina before joining the Broncos as offensive coordinator in 2009.
Manning recently credited McCoy and quarterbacks coach Adam Gase with helping him navigate his way through a new team and a new system.
�It�s been a team effort, and I really appreciate the help that Mike and Adam have given me going all the way back to when I first got here,� Manning said.
With a slew of openings in the NFL, another potential head-coaching candidate is Broncos� defensive coordinator and former Jacksonville head coach Jack Del Rio, who helped Denver improve from 22nd against the pass a year ago to third and jump from 18th against the run to third this year.
Del Rio recently indicated he�d be picky about moving on.
�When you�re a young guy and you haven�t been there, the urgency and desire to get that opportunity is such that you�d take just about any job given to you,� said Del Rio, who was in charge of the Jaguars for nine seasons. �I don�t feel that way now. If there�s something that fits and the right situation comes along, so be it. But in the meantime, I�m all in, 100 percent as a lieutenant on this staff. I�m somebody that John Fox, John Elway ... and the players can count on. I�m 100 percent invested in helping them be their best.�

Following Europe into scary territory
May 25, 2013
Editor: If you know the history of Israel in the Old Testament you know that in the later years Israel was divided. Ten tribes carried the name Israel; the other two tribes carried the name Judah....
Is this a joke? Obama isn't a socialist, and there's nothing wrong with Europe. Europe, you know, the place that offers healthcare to everyone, supports gay marriage, has better school systems, etc. You know, stuff that makes them far more evolved and, in general, better than we are. Cool your jets, Tex.

Puremagix: Talk to someone who's actually lived in a socialist country, and they'll tell you that the US is nowhere near that. The Scandinavian countries especially have it figured out. Also, homosexuals are everywhere, and most of them are probably not going to move continents just to get to a country that's more progressive, and forward-thinking than the country they currently live in. Some states (definitely not WV) are finally starting to get it right.

Puremagix, are you aware of what the separation of church and state is? I'm a Christian, but you have to keep in mind that our country was set up so that Biblical laws don't affect our country's laws. Even if you interpret the Bible in such a way that makes you think that homosexuality is objectively wrong, you can't base laws around that, sorry.
Also, what do all those events, especially THE CRUSADES, have to do with the evolved state of Europe now? All of the things you referenced happened in the past, and most of them were as a result of Hitler being a giant d-bag, not the state of Europe as a whole.

Oh, and you don't think climate change is real? How are you qualified to give your opinion on anything? Science is real, Puremagix, and you don't need to stop believing in God to understand that.

What the separation of church and state says is that we can't create laws in our country that are based on religion. As a result, a national ban on gay marriage (which clearly is not secularly wrong and in my opinion not even biblically wrong) violates the 1st amendment.
Second, how is giving gays the right to marriage a right unique to them? The right to marry is already possessed by heterosexual people. If you're saying that it's a right unique to them by saying that they're the only ones who can "same sex marry", then you would have to say that heterosexuals have rights that are special to only them, because they can "opposite sex marry". You see how ridiculous that is?
"Let them find a woman to marry." Is this a joke? Assuming you're talking about gay men (there are gay women too, btw), they're not attracted to women! It's fairly obvious, both from a scientific standpoint and a common sense standpoint, that being gay is not a choice. (Genes,

, physiological differences).
I forgot, though, that you have an aversion to science. It's nearly unanimous among climatologists and other scientists (people that have researched and understand science, you know, people not like you) that climate change exists. Don't believe me?

The Bible: foolish rules of ancient date, designed to make you all feel great, while you fold, spindle, and mutilate, those unbelievers from a neighboring state. If you want to know why Europe has a largely progressive-secular government structure with socialistic tendencies, it's because that is what the people want from their government. they want a government that looks out for all, not just the rich, it bases it's laws on progressive ideals, not on the evil's of comsumer capitalism where everything is about profit. they have socialized medicine because they know that a healthy population is good for the country, instead of the American model, where they are totally set up to take away your life savings, your home, and all your worldly assests when you get sick or old. I say that if you want to believe in the bible, fine, that's your right, but dont try to make the whole country worship your "God".

I guess i forgot that arguing with someone who doesn't believe in science, evolution, or equality, and still believes in fairytales told by ancient man to try and explain his origins, his surroundings, and the natural world, before we had mathmatics, physics, biology, and geology to explain them is futile at best, sorry, i'll try and dumb down my comments to your (Purebull's) level. You cant run a country by a book of religion. that would make you no better than the Taliban.

Woah, chill out a bit RealAmerican. You can disagree with someone without being hateful about it. Also, let's not profile. Not all Christians don't believe in science, evolution, or equality, and not all atheists/agnostics do. For example, I have a great deal of scientific knowledge and am for equality, and I am a Christian. By profiling and stereotyping, you're being no better than the people you're complaining about.

What's confused again. There's nothing 'moral' about gayness; and nothing moral about child molesters. BOTH an ABOMINATION, according to GOD. You disagree with God at your own risk!

I write this as a former resident of the Warren area, and the proud son, grandson, nephew, and brother of First Place Bank/First Federal employees and directors.
I grew up in a house that lived and breathed First Federal Savings culture through the difficult economic times in the 1970s and 1980s. The bank's profitability sometime suffered through those times as its customers often experienced financial hardship, but its capital was always strong.
The clear focus of the entire organization was service to the Warren-area customers. In 1999, First Place raised more than $100 million through a stock offering, switching its primary financial focus away from local customers to stockholders. Thus began a series of acquisitions to put that newly raised capital to work and to grow the franchise and generate higher profitability for the stockholders.
At first, the acquisitions in Youngstown and Ravenna seemed logical for both customers and stockholders, expanding into markets contiguous to Warren. With the retirement of most long-term directors in the early 2000s, the board and CEO became more aggressive in their search for stockholder returns with acquisitions in Michigan, west Cleveland and Columbus. In the best interest of First Place customers - hardly. Outside of the CEO's comfort zone operationally and financially - clearly.
Now, $100 million of stockholder equity is gone (likely much more) and First Place Bank, originally chartered in 1922, is being acquired. Who benefits? Investment bankers, lawyers and consultants none from Warren or Ohio. The acquisition's press release talks of First Place's loyal customers and hard-working staff. If only the CEO and current board would have made all of their decisions based on the best interest of the bank's loyal customers rather than stockholders, the outcome would have been much different. This is a sad end to a franchise that has been supported by its customers for 90 years, and an unbefitting finale to a Watson family banking tradition in Warren.

NEW WASHINGTON - It was a common theme while listening to Seneca East coach Dave Stallings and his players talk after their game at Buckeye Central.
"Defense dictates offense."
Which is fitting because it was a common theme in the game.
Seneca East's defense forced a Buckeye Central turnover, which turned into a Tiger basket.
And it played out over and over again.
The Tigers led by double digits throughout the entire final three quarters and drove home with a 71-54 victory.

Turnovers: Seneca East 20; Buckeye Central 26
"Our coach always says 'defense dictates offense,'" Seneca East's Ashton Daniel said. "We came out here and we did that. We decided what we want them to do and we made them do it. We caused turnovers and got up and down the floor."
Seneca East (5-2) caused 26 turnovers, with a good amount coming off steals.
"That's something we work on a lot," said Stallings. "We hope to get those steals. I told those girls, beginning of the year, 'I don't care who's the high scorer. If we're getting up and down the floor, that's what matters.' You can see the girls that wanted to score were the first ones down the floor."
Daniel must've wanted to score more than anyone as she finished with a game-high 23 points.
She wasn't alone, though, as her teammates weren't far behind. Brittany Brookes added 14 points while Lauren Sprenger scored 10. Hannah Hahler pulled in nine rebounds and did a good job taking those rebounds and dishing to open scorers.
Stallings was pleased to have more girls step up in the scoring column.
"Lauren and Brittany both have come out and stepped up," he said. "Jess Enders was getting on the floor too. We can't rely on Ashton and Emily (Depinet) all the time, and Hannah does a good job rebounding and looking for the open girls."
Nine different Tigers got into the scoring column.
"We just know each other a lot," Sprenger said when asked the key to her team's balanced attack. "When we run the floor, we know where to get the ball into people so they can score."
Seneca East held a 15-8 after one quarter, before opening the second on a 15-2 run to take firm control.
Daniel knocked down a pair of trifectas to open the run and Cameil Ruffing finished it by converting an and-1 play to leave the score 30-10.
"We just struggled to put the ball in the basket and finish our shots a lot," Buckeye Central coach Sarah Krichbaum said. "They were able to get out in transition and score on us quite a bit, and finish."
The Buckettes fought back, though, going on a run of their own to close out the first half. A Sammi Marcum shot beat the halftime buzzer to cut the lead to 35-23.
Stallings said he told his team he hoped that was the last run Buckeye Central would go on.
"(Buckeye Central) made that run at the end of the first half and I told them 'basketball's a game of runs and I hope that was their run. Because we can't go from a 19-point lead to a 12-point lead at halftime and hope we're going to hang on to it. We got to make our runs to.'"
Seneca East made another run coming out of the break.
While the Tiger defense was forcing turnovers early - 15 in the first half - it turned up the heat in the half-court in the second half.
The Tigers put up the first nine second half points, holding Buckeye Central scoreless until Marcum hit a free throw with 2:36 left in the period. The Buckettes missed their first 11 shots of the half.
"The first three minutes out of the half are real big," Daniel said. "We came out strong and did what we needed to and pulled away a little bit."
"That was a big key, because when we went into halftime ... we weren't doing a good job in our zone of boxing out the backside," Stallings added. "When we went in at halftime I said, 'we're going to take the press off. We're going to play good hard half-court defense.'"
After falling behind by 21 points in the third quarter, Buckeye Central fought back, trimming the lead to 15, 50-35, heading into the fourth. The gap closed to 12 in the final quarter but the Tigers kept their foot on the gas to pull away.
"They penetrate to the basket well," Krichbaum said. "They ran that dribble weave out top, looked for the backdoor cut and we just struggled to get a stop when we needed it. Couldn't get over the hump of 13 points it felt like we were on forever."
Buckeye Central (2-5) was led by Brooke Karl with 13 points. Kilee Kimmel added 12 while Jenna Delarber pulled down 10 rebounds.

�Have a holly jolly Christmas!� �Merry Christmas!� �Happy holidays!�
For some people, those greetings only serve to magnify feelings of loss or pain.
�The Blue Christmas service acknowledges that the holidays can be difficult for those who grieve,� said Chaplain Diana McKenna, director of Mercy Regional Medical Center�s Spiritual Care Department.
The annual Blue Christmas service is Tuesday. The service is designed for those mourning something: �A death, a broken relationship, the loss of a pet, illness, unemployment, loneliness or even the loss of a dream,� McKenna said.
A Blue Christmas service is a time to honor those feelings and find solace in prayer, readings and music reflecting the reality of the season for those dealing with hard times.
In a tradition spanning a decade, two Blue Christmas services will be offered in Durango; the other is at St. Mark�s Episcopal Church on Dec. 19.
�I remember one year, a first responder was sitting next to a woman who had lost a loved one,� said Stephanie Dial, a chaplain at Mercy. �He told her to talk about it because there�s more room out here than there is in there.�
Mercy asks a member of the hospital staff who has experienced the death of a loved one to speak about the experience at the service each year. Two years ago, Bruce Nielsen talked about the loss of his son in a hiking accident.
�He was tearful and spoke about his great love for his son,� Dial said. �Then he went to the place of his faith and how it had helped him. He talked about regaining hope.�
Nielsen found the experience to be a healing one.
�I just want to be there to support those who are dealing with tragedy,� Nielsen said. �I want to show that you can come through it and be fine.�
Nielsen, who helped build the new Mercy Regional Medical Center and now works in facilities management there, admits he is different from other people.
�I�m not really depressed at Christmas,� he said. �I look at life a little differently. Just because my son was killed, he�s not just gone. He�s still around.�
But even so, it takes one who understands to help.
�Unless you�ve been through it, you have no idea,� he said. �Being able to help others really feels good.�
Dial said that safe place of sharing with people who are going through the same thing is a powerful part of the appeal of a Blue Christmas service.
�We once had a family who lost two loved ones in a year at Mercy,� she said. �They were from Gallup (N.M) and drove in just for the service because they felt it was important to honor those they lost. Then they had some refreshments, got in the car and drove back.�
Why is Mercy holding the service for the 10th year?
�We chaplains are very close to the experience of loss,� Dial said. �We each have experienced loss of our own and hold a tender place in our hearts for those who come. We are companions to one another on the journey.�

Comments about Gator Skin® Elementary School Dodgeball Easy Pack:
This set is a great value. I use these balls for my elementary age Dodge ball class. These balls are easy for kids to throw and they do not hurt like other balls (though an occasional face shot will always hurt). The mesh bag helps holds all the balls and the Dodge ball manual is useful for those who need ideas for variations on Dodge ball.

Comments about Gator Skin® Elementary School Dodgeball Easy Pack:
I use it weekly in my PE classes. I use them not just for Dodgeball, but many other games and activities. Love that are soft enough so no one gets hurt and firm enough that they travel pretty straight. I wish they lasted longer, it seems like I have to replace a set every 2-3 years. Other than that, I LOVE these Dodgeball's.

National Pest Plant Accord
For New Zealand to be able to trade internationally, MPI must be confident that the products associated with agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture and apiculture are free from unwanted pests and diseases.
The National Pest Plant Accord (NPPA) is a cooperative agreement between the Nursery and Garden Industry Association, regional councils and government departments with biosecurity responsibilities.
All plants on the NPPA are unwanted organisms under the Biosecurity Act 1993. These plants cannot be sold, propagated or distributed in New Zealand.

National Pest Plant Accord Manual
This manual contains photographs and descriptions of plants that are considered pests throughout New Zealand. All of these plants are present in New Zealand, and are banned from sale, propagation and distribution.
The information included in this manual is correct at the time of printing (July 2012) and will be updated on a regular basis. Thirteen new species were added to the Accord in May 2012. If you wish to receive updates to the manual as they become available, please contact your regional council or e-mail email@example.com
A tool for identifying NPPA and weed species can be found online at www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resources/identification/plants/weeds-key (with the shortcut http://tinyurl.com/weedkey ).
The new interactive key covers more than 500 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, hybrids and cultivars) including National Pest Plant Accord (NPPA) list of species banned from sale, distribution, and propagation in New Zealand, the Department of Conservation consolidated list of environmental weeds in New Zealand (Howell, 2008 ), and Regional Pest Management Strategy (RPMS) species. Other weeds are included in the key along with similar and related species.
This Lucid™ key was developed by Murray Dawson and Peter Heenan at Landcare Research, as well as Sheldon Navie (University of Queensland), Trevor James (AgResearch), and Paul Champion (NIWA). The key is illustrated with more than 9000 images and runs using 48 characters and 217 character-states.
This identification key is freely available thanks to funding from the Terrestrial and Freshwater Biodiversity Information System (TFBIS) Programme . The TFBIS Programme is funded by the Government to help to achieve the goals of the New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy, and is administered by the Department of Conservation.
