Comedy, murder sets stage at NKHSComedy, murder sets stage at NKHSComedy, murder sets stage at NKHSComedy, murder sets stage at NKHS
POULSBO North Kitsap High School junior Mallory McAfee believes she is not just acting when she performs on stage. She likes to think that she can fill the shoes of the person she is portraying.
The character envelops me, she said. I actually feel like the old aunt I play.
McAfee is performing in Arsenic and Old Lace, the NKHS Drama Clubs first play of the school year. Playing Martha Brewster in Joseph Kesselrings classic, she takes the stage as a polite aunt-turned geriatric killer.
Im a crazy aunt who likes to get rid of older gents and I take care of (societys) problems by getting rid of them, she said.
McAfee and other actors are excited to perform the 40s era play; a return to the stage for the club in the 2003-04 school year.
The performance of Arsenic also marks a turn in the drama clubs direction the passing of the directors baton to NKHS teacher Randy Powell.
And Powell is thrilled at the opportunity.
I was excited the drama position opened because high school kids are phenomenal, he said. Theyre going to go out and do community theater, theater in college and there just arent that many of them out there.
Powell said he is pleased with the students he has performing in Arsenic a surefire sign that the club will be ready for bigger performances later.
The kids are very enthusiastic, follow direction exceptionally well and they have a great spirit, he said. Thats kind of exciting because I can see what shows we can do in the future. Next year, well start with a Shakespearean comedy.
Powell, who has taught high school and college drama, brings eight years of experience to the program. Still, he believes he has big shoes to fill.
Its hard to walk in and take over a program thats done so well for so long, he said.
One actor contributing to that success over the last few years is senior Caleb Penn, whose performance credits in the club include Guys and Dolls, The Sound of Music and West Side Story. Penn said he also hopes to act in college.
(Acting) calms me down, Penn said. Its a great way to get out emotions and is a great outlet.
Penn said he feels that director Powell is having to adjust a lot to teach drama at the high school level. Part of that adjustment for everyone involved is Powells insistence to quality and accuracy.
I would say I provide very specific direction to bring out the most in a character, Powell said.
Hes a good director sort of a perfectionist, said junior Mike Stock, who plays Mortimer Brewster in Arsenic. He knows a lot about the time period (of when the play is depicted). For him, everything has to be authentic and very organized.
The choice of the play, Powell said, came from a need to get the clubs proverbial feet wet under his direction, as well as his love for the time period.
I selected this play because the first one needed to be traditional, not too controversial and very dramatic, Powell said. As I get to know kids and their capabilities, well do different things.
To me, this is true theater and a slice of life in the 40s, he said. Youve got comedy, youve got murder and a little bit of everything. This is what theater was all about.

It's not often that I e-mail a writer after reading his or her work—actually, I never have. But I am truly impressed by the balanced presentation and lack of bias in your highly informative report.
No doubt you have provoked a deluge of bile from people who have prejudged and will not be swayed by facts, as I was when I read your article.
Now, if only I could afford a nice plate of tagliatelle with foie gras and truffles. Damn this downturn!

At last I read some refreshing news on the foie gras industry.
Since being a child, I have known people in France who produce this gift from the gods, and, frankly, all the bad press it gets in the U.S. is mindboggling.
No matter how you report on this, the PETA crowd, uninformed as always, will try to wring your neck. Luckily, there are more people who understand the industry than those who scream bloody murder. I am not involved in its production; I am one who has always enjoyed the product.
One very important factor that you did leave out concerns duck fat. Do some research, and you'll find out that it does not contain any bad cholesterol. Quite the opposite: It contains only the good cholesterol, thus making it extremely healthy. I use the fat with many recipes. Try frying potatoes in it or adding it to lentils. It's also used as a thickener in many sauces.
Many thanks for a great reporting job. I will send your review to many people I know in the restaurant business.
Lemmy N.
Barcelona, Spain
I am a student at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC. I'm also a career changer, so foie gras wasn't new to me in the past few weeks when it appeared in recipes. I am an avid supporter of sustainable, local food production—I fish, and my parents raise and slaughter chickens. My brother is an avid bow hunter. But even I was squeamish about foie gras, for exactly the reasons you outline.
Thank you for giving me a tour of the Hudson Valley Foie Gras farm. I will happily support their enterprise and no longer wonder if I am supporting the torture of ducks.
Thank you also for printing Chef Brassel's quote regarding the hypocrisy of protesting meat while wearing Uggs and leather coats. It's easy to jump on a bandwagon—and, lucky for us, even easier to be pushed off. Keep up the good writing!

Radical notions
'Guantánamo's Final Days' [Tim Elfrink and Jesse Hyde, February 25–March 3] offered a fairly measured approach to the urgent task of closing Guantánamo, with the writers focusing largely on Omar Khadr, detained since he was 15 years old. Indeed, the evidence in the Khadr case certainly does not suggest he was among "the worse of the worst" and, in fact, Canadian officials have found he is "salvageable" and "non-radicalized" despite the traumatic uncertainty of his cruel and unusual detention. This would be true for the large majority of detainees who have festered in those cages.
However, I am troubled by the assertion that Khadr's sister in Canada "has publicly advocated jihad." It's hard to know what is being said, because "jihad" takes many unobjectionable forms, and support for defensive action against attack or oppression does not suggest support for terror itself. What specific opinions are being found suspect? Moreover, while their views may or may not be cause for concern, Khadr's family's solidarity with others who they feel are unfairly prosecuted should not be used as evidence that they are dangerously "radical"—I suggest that they are advocating for justice against the hype of the fear-inebriated media.
Finally, I wish to point out that the word "radical" comes to mean so many things. Who and what gets labeled radical or radicalized in a negative way? Was the neo-conservatism of the Bush years not radical? Also, "radical" can have positive connotations as well as negative. Bush and Cheney's cruel and unusual approach to the challenge of political violence has radicalized us and roused us all to find a smarter response to the threat of terror.

Budget Boost Body Lift Kit with 2" Front and Rear Lift Height by TeraFlex®. Skin Packed. Includes: 2" Front IFS Strut Extension Brackets and 2" Rear Spring Spacers. This kit is perfect for the daily driver and weekend traveler. Lift your Jeep. Lift it for several good reasons, all of which will make it more capable in off-road situations. Lift it to install larger diameter tires by making more room in the wheel wells. Lift it to improve ground clearance for climbing over stumps and rocks. And lift it for the appearance and the commanding driving position, even on the street.
- Great appearance
- Mild lift requires no other mods to work properly
- Makes room for larger wheels/tires
- Shift linkage plate included where necessary
- Easy install
- No drilling, cutting or welding required
Lifting your Jeep more than an inch or so can lead to a number of issues that, fortunately, are relatively simple to address. And those new parts to fix these issues can also be parts that are sturdier and more long-lasting than the stock parts you're replacing – and that's always a good thing. Off-roading, by its very nature is harder on your vehicle than grocery-getting or commuting, so upgrading is never a bad idea. Don't forget you'll need to add some provision for helping out things like the brake lines, shift linkage and to compensate for steeper driveshaft angularity.
TeraFlex has been professionally involved with Jeeps since the 1950s and that experience taught them how to make them perform their best. TeraFlex was started in the fall of 1996 to meet the needs of the growing market for heavy duty off road equipment and suspension enhancements. And they've maintained a dominant hold on the market since then. TeraFlex was the first aftermarket manufacturer with a suspension system for the TJ Wrangler, and is still the only aftermarket company to offer a solution for the venerable 231 transfer cases low range gearing. In 2001, the entire off road industry was stunned at the CRD60 - an off-road-specific high-pinion 60 differential that took innovation to a new level, reinforcing their position in the industry.

This is another theme-based restaurant which revolves around aquatic life with pebbles and an azure ambience. Try out the sizzlers, lobsters and pomfrets here. The place seats 100 people and also prov Show Full Review
Tucked away in the corner of Himayat Nagar in the heart of the city is a very decent but little known restaurant called Grand SolitareWas recommended by a friend of mine to try the food. He is a frequent visitor to the place as he stays in Himayat Nagar which is walking distance from his residence.He was praising the food spread and the taste of the buffet in general. So I decided to try it out last Friday and was in concurrence with my friend on the same.Tried out all the items from the entres, soup, roti, biryani and the desserts. The food was top class and combined with a unique ambiance it made the whole dining experience wholesome and satisfying.I would highly recommend this to anyone if you are looking for a no nonsense dining experience without frills and thrills. Also there is sufficient parking and the staff seems more than happy to help you out with any clarifications that you might need.One suggestion I would make is to maybe have more variety and get in more continental items to the menu.But all in all a top class experience overall. Look forward to eating here again.CheersRahul.
Less rate and good food and what more u can enjoy various chats and kerala appams aswell..

Had K&L co-owner and main wine buyer Clyde Beffa Jr. not read an article about the gentlemanly hobby of wine collecting in the February 1971 issue of Playboy, he might still be weighing the merits of Holsteins versus Jerseys instead of Château Margaux or Haut-Bailly. Beffa owned a dairy in Tracy, California, from 1967-1973, leaving the the business to co-found K&L Liquors, as it was known back then, in 1976. Clyde started traveling to Europe in 1982 and over the years, he has worked hard to build K&L into one of the nation's go-to sources for the world's diverse wines, developing relationships with winemakers and châteaux owners the world over. Clyde's passion is surely Bordeaux, especially the fabulous wines from Pauillac and St-Julien (like Pichon-Lalande and Léoville-Barton). When he's not drinking France's legendary reds, you'll likely find Clyde indulging in Sauvignon Blanc. A fan of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and white Bordeaux, he'll also tuck into a bottle of Kiwi Sauv Blanc if there's no corkscrew around. These days you'll likely find Clyde extolling the virtues of underrated Bordeaux vintages like 1991, 1997, 1999, 2004 and 2006, or playing with his German Shepherd Sadie. Or you may see him in his vegetable garden and, once in a great while, on the golf course.
2001 Rauzan-Segla, Margaux
Review Date: 10-16-2016
One of my favorite vintages to drink now and this does not disappoint. Soft and elegant wine with red berry flavors. Fabulous to drink today or next year.
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $114.99
2012 de Pitray, Castillon
Review Date: 10-15-2016
This ancient property (700 years old) has a beautiful Manor House that was built in the 16th Century by the Segur family, famous for their ownership of Calon Segur, Lafite, and Latour. We tasted it on our April 2016 tasting trip and bought one hundred cases--fantastic value, this wine has a sweet core of fruit on the palate. Perfect everyday drinking red or large party red at under $15.
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $12.99
2014 La Gravette de Certan, Pomerol
Review Date: 10-15-2016
This is the first time we have carried this beauty--the second wine of Vieux Chateau Certan, one of the best properties in all of Bordeaux. We tasted it on our first day in Bordeaux on our 2016 buying trip. We bought all that was available--only 180 bottles. Pure framboise on the nose and palate. Lush, sweet, and sexy. Buy it and enjoy now or ten years from now.
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $49.99
2014 Haut Charmes, Sauternes
Review Date: 10-15-2016
A perfect score for price vs quality group. We have carried this in the past but now all the juice comes from the famous Ch. Suduiraut. Full bottles for under $20--a steal. Coconut and pineapple nuances on the nose and palate. Great acidity and quite unctuous--tastes so good now.
Drink from 2017 to 2017
Price: $19.99
2012 Domaine du Grand Ormeau, Lalande-de-Pomerol
Review Date: 10-15-2016
Another wine that we found on our buying trip in April 2016. First time to carry this wine, we found it to be very spicy with tons of blackberry fruit flavors and a modern touch on the palate. Fine acid balance holds it together. Some of the finest Bordeaux values are from the 2012 vintage and from the Lalande de Pomerol region. 80% Merlot with 10% each of Cab Sauvignon and Franc.
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $19.99
2012 Reserve de Léoville-Barton, St-Julien
Review Date: 10-15-2016
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 7% Cab Franc, 3% Pet Verdot. This classic Claret, from the lovely underrated vintage of 2012 provides every bit as much complexity and nuance as both the classed growths Léoville and Langoa Barton. This second wine of Leoville is elegant and polished, displaying red and black fruits and integrated tannins. We found it to be quite approachable and softer than some of the older vintages of this wine. Terrific texture and mouthfeel. Cellar it for a few more years or double decant it and drink now with a rack of lamb.
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $34.99
2014 Haut-Vigneau, Pessac-Léognan

Château Haut-Vigneau is owned by Eric Perrin, the son of the late Anthony Perrin of Chateau Carbonnieux fame. This property is one of the best value reds in all of Bordeaux. The 2014 is absolutely delicious--soft and elegant with tons of ripe red fruit flavors on the mid-palate. This vintage also has a core of mineral on the palate. I prefer this to their 2012.

2015 Le Thil, Pessac-Léognan
Review Date: 10-01-2016
Under the leadership of the Cathiard family of Smith Haut Lafitte, this property is making great value wines—they have the excellent terroir for red wines and, in fact, pulled all the white grapes out.

2004 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc (1.5L)
Review Date: 10-01-2016
Definitely a bit of an old school red. This property has made some of the best red wine values in the last 25 years. We sold over 3,700 of the 750ml of this beauty. The magnums are for small parties.

2000 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac
Review Date: 10-01-2016
We tasted quite a few 2000 Bordeaux one evening on the 2015 Bordeaux evaluation trip—what a treat, as the wines were stunning, especially the Giscours and this 2000 Grand-Puy-Lacoste. We bought them and here they are—limited availability, of course. The Giscours was sweet and lovely, with the GPL having more strength and some tannins. Both were showing great, and they held up to Ch. Margaux and Ch. Haut-Brion, which were served at the same tasting.

Alas, this château no longer exists, as the Haut-Brion people bought it and the wine now goes into the Quintus brand—for much more money. We tasted it in April 2016 and bought all we could find. It is so good and a great value, to boot.

2010 Fleur de Pedesclaux, Pauillac
Review Date: 08-28-2016
This is the second wine of Château Pedescalux, a Pauillac property that offers a lot of bang for your buck. The Fleur de Pedesclaux is softer and more approachable, but in the same modern style, with plenty of fruit but softer tannins. A blend of 50% Cab, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cab Franc. This property is on a roll.

2012 Le Thil, Pessac-Léognan
Review Date: 08-22-2016
This property flies under the radar, but we have enjoyed their wines for ten years. Located near Smith haut lafitte, and now under their ownership, this property has always made value reds. This is the last vintage under the old regime-and it merits your attention, Extremely spicy aromas with clove an Asian spices abounding. Very sweet and sexy on the palate with a streak of minerality through its middle. Very sweet finish-you can drink it young, but decant an hour or so.

2009 Ormes De Pez, St-Estèphe
Review Date: 08-22-2016
I love this vintage and ormes de pez shines in 2009. Usually a bit tough on the palate, this 2009 is sweet and lovely with fine structure and balance. A lot of blackberry fruit flavors, round tannins, and a lingering finish. Nice to have great tasting wines selling for less than $50.

This great property has made a superb 2007-we tasted it in Bordeaux in April 2016 and fell in love with it. Blackberry fruit aromas and flavors. Sexy, spicy palate feel and lingering finish. So good you will drink the bottle quickly so buy two. One of the superstar new properties in Bordeaux. Watch for their wines in 2012 and 2015.

Another superb 2007 value wine-this one with more structure and power than most. Deep, dark color for a 2007-full throttle wine with a great core of fruit. Decant and enjoy. I believe this is the last vintage of this property as it has been folded into the Labegorce label. Cassis and some roses on the nose and palate. Enjoy with a big steak dinner.

A perfect score for value Bordeaux to enjoy tonight. This overachieving property makes great wines most any year and 2007 is no exception. I love 2007 Bordeaux-much like 1997 with 10 more years of winemaking expertise. This wine has some violets on the nose and palate. Perfumey and toasty aromas lead to the palate. Some licorice too. 53% Cab and 37% Merlot with some PV and Cab Franc thrown in.

2014 Mouton Cadet "Ryder Cup," Bordeaux
Review Date: 08-19-2016
Powerful, elegantly oaked wine with aromas of red and black fruits, spice, and lightly toasted notes that showcases the tradition of Bordeaux winemaking expertise. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet. Great gift for the golfers in your life.

What a delightful wine--quite rich on the nose with toasted apple and oak nuances. Fine acidity on the palate, this is a great everyday drinker when you find Sancerre a bit too acidic. Very smooth on the palate and wonderful acid balance. Some spicy undertones on the palate. Value!

2014 Pessac-Léognan de Haut Bailly, Pessac-Leognan
Review Date: 08-17-2016
Their first release of this third wine. And what a bargain it is. The nose is incredible with so much wet stone minerality. The blueberry fruit flavors are framed by brisk acidity and rounded tannins. A bit young to drink now-cellar it a year or so. These 14s are quite good and very reasonably priced. One of the first to arrive in the house-a good omen of what is to come. If you like the earthiness of this region-this is a must try.

2014 Kalinda Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 08-12-2016
Wow! This is one of the better value-driven Chardonnays we are carrying these days. Some spicy apple and toasty oak aromas. The wine is clean and elegant—easy to drink and not ponderous like many California Chardonnays. Fine acid balance and no hard edges. This is the perfect poolside sipper. Also excellent with a nice piece of halibut or swordfish. Enjoy in the next year or two.

2012 Domaine de L'A, Côtes de Castillon
Review Date: 07-19-2016
From one of the "in" Bordeaux regions for value wines. This property is the home of Stephane Derencourt. This Merlot wine displays black fruit aromas and flavors. Some good grip on the back and excellent acid balance. Still a bit young but decanting will soften up for your steak dinner. The nose opens after 30 minutes decanting and the palate impression is rich and round with some modern oak nuances. Great for the cellar too.

Superb value here from that very user friendly 2012 Bordeaux vintage. Sweet entry on the palate and lush mouthfeel with a touch of oak present. Some tannins at the end but decanting will really soften it up. 100% Merlot and ready for a barbacue. 92 WE points and Clyde scores it the same.

Buy this wine now and enjoy the sweet aromas of toasty oak and cassis. In the moderne style but with plenty of acidity and balance. Once tasted you will drink the whole bottle quickly.

Review Date: 07-15-2016
The last vintage for this "once the darling of St Emilion" property. The property was purchased by the Haut Brion people in 2013 and they finished off this wine. And what a great way to quit on top-Outstanding wine for an unbelievable price. Rich and round and fruit forward entry. Beautiful aromas of blackberries mixed with vanilla and toasty oak. Super great texture on the palate. Too bad the property is now going into a very expensive wine called Quintus, but that is life. Buy a piece of wine history and enjoy.

I just tasted this wine (July 7, 2016). A smoky, toasty, rich and concentrated nose of red fruits. Like the 1999 but richer on nose and on the palate. This has some tannins but with decanting you can enjoy now with a rich meal. I would save this wine for a few years and enjoy the 1999 now.

A property very close to Pauillac that is one to watch in the future. Well-made, value-driven wines with good depth and length. This property is owned by Patrick Bernard of négociant Millésima, and it shows the results of considerable investment during the recent years. The 2012 is as good as their 2009 and 2010 and it shows complex fruit to balance the spice and toast flavors. A sure winner for drinking in the next five-plus years.

Ralph and I tasted this gem in April in Bordeaux and bought a bunch. Ralph has always loved this value property which is next door to Cos Estournel. BTW the 2009 Cos sells for over $350 so you get 7 bottles of Labory for one of the Estournels. Sounds like a bargain to me. This property usually makes very tannic wines but in 2009 the wine sings.

Owned by the Mitjavile family of Tertre Rotebouef fame. This Cotes de Bourg wine (now called cotes de Bordeaux) is 89% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon so it is a big wine for the vintage. With decanting it blossoms into a very rich and satisfying red-perfect with a short rib dish. Small property, but big and delicious wine.

The 2012 Bordeaux wines are showing fabulously these days. They are so fruit forward and sweet-and the prices are quite low. d'Issan is one of my favorites for sure. That soft toasty aroma is intriguing and the wine has nothing but gobs of fruit on the palate. The vilolets of margaux wines is present and the finish is long and lingering.. So good I have it in my cellar.

One of the best wines of this underrated vintage. It is classic, racy, and noble—so much elegance, finesse, balance and equilibrium. Deep purple color is followed by a sweet nose of black cherries, minerals and black currants. Delicious now on the palate, but cellar it 5-10 more years.

We sold over 3,000 bottles of their 1996, and this beauty is ready for the dinner table now. Showing black cherry and coffee notes on the nose, this has a nice touch of elegance, there's plenty of fruit, and it's nicely balanced. Clément-Pichon is a familiar name to many who have visited Bordeaux. Located in southern Médoc not far north of the city of Bordeaux, this château is one of the most beautiful in the region.

Effect of a quality improvement curriculum on resident knowledge and skills in improvement
- 1Section of General Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA
- 2Centre for Clinical Governance Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
- Correspondence to Dr Lisa M Vinci, University of Chicago, 5841 S Maryland Avenue, MC3051, Chicago, IL 60637, USA; lvinci{at}medicine.bsd.uchicago.edu
- Accepted 10 February 2010
- Published Online First 31 May 2010
Background While many residency programmes have implemented quality improvement (QI) training programmes, few have been rigorously evaluated.
Methods Residents at the authors' institution participated in a required course, the Quality Assessment and Improvement Curriculum during two 1-month-long rotations. The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Practice Improvement Module (PIM) was used to guide residents through chart reviews for quality measures, surveys of patient satisfaction and an assessment of clinic systems. Residents received 12 h of training in QI skills (ie, using Plan–Do–Study–Act cycles). Residents worked in groups to test the effect of a small QI project of their choosing. Residents completed the Quality Improvement Knowledge Assessment Tool (QIKAT) to assess QI knowledge, and a self assessment of QI skills. Third-year residents who did not participate in the curriculum served as a historical control group.
Results 87% (26/30) of PGY2s (intervention group) and 83% (24/29) of PGY3 residents (historical controls) completed the self assessment and QIKAT. PGY2 residents showed a significant improvement in QIKAT scores (Pre: 6.98 (6.23 to 7.72) vs Post: 9.70 (8.92 to 10.50); p<0.001) and all 12 QI skills. In addition, the post-PGY2 intervention group outperformed the PGY3 historical control group in QIKAT scores (PGY2 Post-9.59 (8.82 to 10.36) vs PGY3 Control 7.34 (6.48 to 8.20); p<0.001) and all QI skills.
Conclusion A QI curriculum using the ABIM PIMs and small-group, resident chosen QI projects can result in improvements in resident knowledge and self-assessed skills in QI. The use of a historical control group was a helpful way to account for the effects of accumulating experience in the pre-post evaluation of this curriculum.
Funding Supported by an internal grant from the Pritzker School of Medicine, Graduate Medical Education Committee and The University of Chicago Department of Medicine, Excellence in Medical Education and Clinical Care Award.

Sport bikes popular, but deadly, for young riders
DEAR READERS: As some of you know, I lost my beautiful son, Jarrad, in a motorcycle accident last August. We all lost him. May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. It also marks the beginning of the motorcycle sales season. Popularity of high-performance "sport bikes" has skyrocketed, especially among 18- to 29-year-olds, and rider deaths are at record highs.
My brother, Tom, is dedicated to changing the way motorcycle permits are issued. Below is a speech he gave to the Redding, California chapter of MADD last week.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: My 18-year-old nephew had a fatal motorcycle accident last summer. You may be thinking this accident was due to alcohol. It was not. It was, I believe, due to two things: 1) he was on a sport bike; 2) current licensing rules award motorcycle permits with only a written test.
Who in the audience has noticed sport bikes on the roads? I don't think this type of motorcycle belongs in traffic, but this is America, sport bikes are legal, and it's my guess they are here to stay.
The current US motorcycle permit process is deadly. Jarrad's accident is a textbook example of why our country needs to adopt the "graduated licensing system" proven in other parts of the world to reduce accidents and save lives.
Jarrad Cole was a star basketball player at his high school and was starting college at California Maritime Academy in just two weeks. Jarrad had no motorcycle riding experience. He went to the DMV, took a written test, and was given a motorcycle permit. He then purchased a used 2003 Suzuki GSXR 750. This is an extreme sports bike. It weighs 366 pounds, producing 141 horsepower. In comparison, the 2006 Harley Davidson UCEG weighs 788 pounds and produces 65 horsepower.
Jarrad had the sport bike for 30 minutes; he was practicing in front of his father's home and was simply shifting from first to second gear. When the clutch released, the bike reared up throwing him into a retaining wall.
Jarrad never regained consciousness. An ambulance rushed him to the hospital where he died minutes later of internal injuries. Jarrad was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
The performance of the current generation of sport bikes is completely insane for street use. I remember when I got my learner's permit at age 15, my Kawasaki 125 made 24 horsepower and weighed 250 pounds. I thought it was pretty fast and I rode it hard. Had it been a 141 horsepower GXSR 750, I'd be long gone. Experienced riders find this bike pretty frightening in performance, and that's with years of experience.
These bikes are not designed for learning. But because the law allows it, many new riders assume they can handle sport bikes and Jarrad found himself totally unprepared on a machine that accelerates faster than an Enzo Ferrari.
I hope Jarrad's accident can save lives. Many people want a graduated licensing system, as used in England, making it illegal for new riders to ride powerful sport bikes until first proving themselves, in steps, on lower horsepower bikes.
I appealed to the Yamaha and Kawasaki dealerships in Redding and to Wayne Curtain at Harley Davidson headquarters about supporting a law change. Everyone is very sorry, but no one wishes to get involved. So, here I am talking to you. I hope you can help.
Tom Forcella, Redding CA
Dear Readers: The next step for my brother is MADD national headquarters. As we all know, when MADD gets mad, things happen. If you are a parent like me, who never wants (or wanted) to see my kid on a motorcycle, I hope you will take the time to support the "graduated licensing system" by posting a comment on our website or writing to our mailing address.
Hello, I came across this page when googling some information on motorcycles.
I just read through your article. I am saddened by your loss and my heart and prayers go out to all of you involved. It is such sad thing to hear about.
At the same time I would like to clear some things up regarding this letter.
To begin, I completely agree with a tiered licensing system for motorcycles.
We must realize that we do live in the United States, and it is a freedom that we have which also involves a lot more responsibility, and even more from us, the experienced motorcyclists.
In regards to the GSXR 750; 141hp is very deceptive number for the power generated. I found an article stating this amount (the first response to the google search (2003 gsxr 750 horsepower) but I know it's innacurate.
Here is a video of a 2003 GSXR 750 putting out 'only' 118hp on a dyno. While this is still a lot, I think it is especially important in situations like these not to exaggerate or over inflate figures, as 141hp is actually much more appropriate number from 1000cc motorcycle.
Furthermore, I think it's important to realize that any sane motorcyclist would agree that a 750cc sportbike is a poor choice for a 1st motorcycle. Did you recommend against this and he got it anyway? A serious question as I refuse to let any friends of mine starting out to get anything with more than 600cc (although I always recommend something smaller).
I am writing this response because I ride a sport bike and I get a lot of criticism for it, from all types of riders. I get a bad rep and a bad name for the lifestyle choice I have made.
I have been riding for nearly 30 years (I started when i was 14) and I want to make it clear that most of the motorcycling community has experienced a loss such as yours, and we continually do what we can to help others out and pass our knowledge.
Hearing about Jarrad's accident makes me sad all over again but hearing about the possibility of enacting some change seems like a positive step toward an event one feels so helpless over.
It sounds like your brother is attempting to get a graduated licesing law enacted in the U.S. and is beginning by taking it to MADD after having little luck gaining the support of motorcycle dealerships.
I am up for stuffing envelopes or writing representatives. I am sure there are others who would like to be constructive in Jarrad's memory. Keep us posted on how a grass roots effort might help.
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for your prayers and support on our loss. It is involved riders like you that can make the tiered licence a possibility.
I also want to thank you for your input on my HP numbers. I am am not trying to be deceptive. I am using the horsepower numbers provided to me from Suzuki Dealerships. Also Bikez.com rates it at 141 HP.
There is really no way to determine HP just by cc's. CC stands for Cubic Centimeters, which is the unit used to measure engine size by measuring the volume of the bore from the top of the piston at the top and bottom of its' stroke. Generally, hp increases with CCs, but not always, especially in cross applications. Carburetion, stroke, valve lift and duration, intake, timing, and other things affect the HP. That is why two different engines with the same CCs might have a large difference in HP.
I think the Dealers are quoting crankshaft HP and you are quoting me rear wheel HP on a dyno.
Beacause horsepower ratings are so hard to determine, I will take your advice and use HP figures that are lower, from the dyno, as you suggested.
Thank you for your help, yours and everyones advice is welcomed.
I am schedueld to talk with Senator Tom Torlakson, this week, and to our local County Safety Prevention Council, the following week.
Dear Janet S-E,
Great- this is just what I needed today!
I will keep you updated on my progress.
I feel for your lost. But maybe you should put the blame elswhere, instead. The motorcycle didn't kill your son. He did it himself. How come as a parnet you didn't have him at least take a motorcycle course. Having a bike like that for 30 minutes, and trying to do wheelies was irresponisble of him. Please get your facts right.
Mike Miller
I am sorry about the lost, but then I don't think trying to put the blame on a bike is right. He had no experience, and yet decided on a bike that was way over his head, never took a motorcycle training course, and basically had no common sense as far as his abilities. Let's put the blame where it really belongs, on himself for thinking he could ride something beyond his skills, for the parent that let him do that, and for not taking a training course. We need to be accountable for our actions and accept the consequencies for our own actions. If you want to do anything please don't place the blame on an ianimate object. Pass a law that says as a permit learner you can only ride a 250cc and smaller bike, that you need x numbers of hours practicing, that you need to take a sanction course, but banning superbikes is not going to save anyone you can also get killed riding a 6HP moped.
Dear Michael,
You make a valid point. "as a parent why did you not have him take a motorcycle training course?" Most parents would- However, because trainig is not required by law, some parents and new riders, think is optional.
Are you a hunter? Did you go through hunter safety course? To compare the motorcycle permitting process, and hunter safety, would be like saying- okay here is a shotgun, go practice shooting for awhile. Come back later and we will have you do the training. Some things I learned in training; always treat a gun as though it is loaded. Keep your finger off the trigger untill you pull up on a target. These things I learned in training, made me a safer hunter. Training first, permit second.
Dear Glenn
Don't worry, despite my nephew's accident, I could not get a ban on Sport Bikes, even if I tried. This is a free country, and Sport Bikes are legal.
The law you talked about, limiting motorcycle size, a "Graduated Drivers License," is a big can of worms. It is too restrictive, complex, and hard to enforce. It is just to much. I can not get agencies behind me on it. Because of this, I am dropping the GDL.
My only focus now is to make motorcycle training required, before motorcycle permits are issued. Many agencies are in favor of training before permits, and they are helping me get the law changed.
Training will save lives.
"Jarrad's accident is a textbook example of why our county needs to adopt the "graduated licensing system" proven in other parts of the world to reduce accidents and save lives."
No, this misguided campaign is a "textbook example" of some loser working out his grief through the rest of us – trying to gain some semblance of control in his pathetic life by controlling the rest of us.
Graduated licensing systems "reduce accidents and save lives" the same way helmet laws do – by reducing the number of riders on the road.
It's no surprise the dealers and Wayne at H-D wanted nothing to do with this campaign. Europe went to a graduated system and sales were hurt. The graduated system also has the effect of turning people away from motorcycles permanently. Who has the patience to wait years before they can buy the machine of their chosing? Additionally, in Europe, each license along the way costs a lot of money, turning it into another revenue stream.
Another consideration: limit riders to a certain cc bike and watch them as they get around it by hotting up their machines. Here in Hawaii, kids can get their 30 mph mopeds to do 80!
Kudos to Tom Forcella for being an advocate of mandatory rider training. It is absolutely the best approach for protecting the lives of motorcyclists, and for protecting the integrity of the sport of motorcycling.
I advocate for the same thing in Oregon. I'm glad I discovered there are others of a like mind. I know Tom has the support of some of the critical players in the discussion in California, as I do in Oregon. Hopefully, these two coalitions can bring meaningful change to this important public safety issue.
I urge the California riding community to get behind this worthy effort. After all, it is far better that changes come from within, than have restrictive laws be mandated from without.
Thanks Tom!
Steve Walker
Eugene, OR
You make a good point, I had not considered people "hotting up" their machines, this also a safety issue. I was origianlly for the European "Graduated Drivers License," But now I am convinced, I do not think it will work in America.
Many people like yourself have explained to me that it is too restrictive, complex, and hard to enforce.
My only focus now is to make motorcycle training required, before motorcycle permits are issued.
Many agencies are in favor of training before permits, and they are helping me get the law changed.
Thanks, I am always learning.
Steve and I, both urge the California riding community to get behind this effort!
WOW I am behind this effort 100%. If Only I could take these unknowing parents for a ride prior to them approving of the purchase. We think of 141 hp in terms of cars not motorcycles that weigh less than 400 lbs. Unknowing people have NO IDEA how VIOLENT these bikes are. I am 44 years old have been riding since my parents co-signed the loan on my Suzuki gs550t at the age of 15 1/2 . I still ride quite regularly. In the late 70s bikes DID NOT begin to perform remotely close to the standards of todays bikes. Children can not comprehend the effects created by a hard twist on the throttle pipe. At 70 plus mph my Ducati ST4 (916cc) Sport Touring bike when riding with my wife on the back would lift the front tire so fast and violently that had I not had 25 years of riding experience I may not be here to write today. I am quite sure that at 15 1/2 years of age that I would not have wanted someone telling me that I had to ride a 50cc,75cc or a 100cc motorcycle, But as a parent of 3 with a wonderful wife of 21 years I do not see the world through the eyes of a child any longer. I think if we are going to allow the manufactures to bring full on race bikes to the streets of the USA that we need to educate the public and the politicians / legislators. A cc (displacement) limit based on time logged as well as Miles rode works in other countries and would work here. There is NOTHING wrong with training and restraint in an effort to save lives and provide the experience for a lifetime of riding enjoyment
Dear Kyle,
If manufactures are allowed to bring full on race bikes to the streets of the USA, we need to educate the public and legislators and politians.
Your response, like many others coming from expirenced riders, is more reinforcement of how the current laws must be changed.
I meet today at noon with ABATE. (American Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education). I will keep you posted.
To Everyone,
I met with the local ABATE chapter 61 in Redding today, and explained the need for training before permits.
This idea has been around for some tome. ABATE is familiar with this it. I am pretty sure they wish to support me.
With MADD's and ABATE's help, this could become a possibility.
Training First, Permits Second
I am terribly sorry for the loss that this family has suffered and I hate to attach a but to that statement (in light of some of the harsh comments already posted). But how responsible was it for an 18 year old to be on a GSXR 750 with NO experience?
In order to obtain a motorcycle "license", riders under 21 have to show proof of passing a "motorcycle rider training course". It's right here on the CA DMV website: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/mc.htm And here are the websites for those classes: http://www.msf-usa.org/ and http://www.ca-msp.org/RiderCourse_Locations/ridercourses_locations.htm I agree that this should be extended to the "permitting" process. I am a sport bike rider and also a SCUBA Divemaster and I wouldn't think of giving someone all the SCUBA equipment, no matter how much they wanted it, and send them out in the middle of Monterey Bay with the advice to "just try it out", then come back and we'll give you the training. Why should the responsibility be any less for a motorcycle, no matter what the cc's are.
Even riders over 21 are smart to take rider training classes. The bikes they teach on are small and easy to handle, and they get one used to being on a bike, while learning the maneuvers used on bikes of any size. The classes are extremely comprehensive, splitting time between classroom and on-bike exercises. After passing the class, all you have to do is take the written DMV exam; no need to take the riding portion at DMV because you've taken it at the class.
For new riders, an even safer way to get used to the feeling of being on a bike is to start on a dirt bike. Starting in a designated Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) area is the safest way to get the feeling for clutch/throttle actuation, and the overall feel of being on a bike. It's a shame that this boy was allowed to get on a bike, any bike, without proper training. Parents have to make sure to counsel their kids on the danger of getting on a very powerful machine with no training. And sometimes, if necessary, just saying NO.
Young, testosterone-filled males, or females on, or in any motorized vehicle can be a hazard. Even as an avid sport bike rider and someone in the motorcycle industry, I cringe when I see some person flying down a busy street on their back wheel. So much can go wrong and then it's over! Unfortunately, some don't have a sense of their own mortality and the consequences of their own actions. But, like anything else in life, riding a motorcycle requires being in control and riding to your ability. It may be that Jared was only shifting from first to second, and not in any way trying to be reckless. Regrettably, that is exactly what it was.
I don't believe the answer is more government-imposed regulations in the form of a "graduated licensing system", but personal responsibility and common sense. And the motorcycle manufacturers don't make enough models to support a GLS. I not only ride on the street but do multiple track days ever year. I've seen experienced riders on a Ninja 250 have faster lap times than someone on a 1000; all because the rider on the 250 knows how to carry their corner speed. It's all about throttle control – any bike can be dangerous until that is learned.
Again, I pass on my sympathy to the Forcella family. The pain and guilt must be overwhelming and I understand their need to be proactive in bring about change. Great good can come from such a tragedy; look at what Candy Lightner did in starting MADD. However, I feel that their efforts would be better spent in educating kids and young adults about responsible riding, using the "Straight Talk For Teens" website as a great resource, and concentrating on changing the permitting process instead of trying in vain to institute a graduated licensing system. I wish them much luck and peace.
Dear Erica,
Unresponsible or Ignorant?
Your post about Jarrad and his father being "unresponsible", is very important me- please let me address it.
Yes, Jarrad started on a Sport Bike, without riding experience. But he knew nothing.(ignorance)
Yes, his father allowed it. But, his father grew up riding BMW's. He had never ridden a Sport Bike. His father, did not realize the raw power of a 750 GSX-R750. The BMW and GSX-R750 are both big bikes, but perform very differently.(again ignorance)
So what do you think?
Was it Unresponsible behavior or Ignoranance?
I think it was ignorance, that Jarrad and his father were ignorant.
Ignorant of the raw power of this motorcycle(let's call it what it is) street legal, full on racing motorcycle.
Training is the answer to this ingnorance.
I appreciate your support for training before the permitting process.
I have written before, your comments , as well as many others have helped me decide to not pursue a GDL limitation.
I am ONLY working with MRO's, to require training before permits.
I appreciate you for posting, and for your kind words.
Training first, permit second
I am just now getting back to the website. I see your focused has changed. I am still up for stuffing envelopes, writing letters or helping where I can.
Keep me posted.
P.S. Regards to handling a tough and personal issue with many varied responses and ideas.
Hi Janet SE,
This article has been circulated to most MRO's (motorcycle riders Organizations) in the US.
I am now working directly with MRO's.
This column is where it all started, but the MRO's columns are where the bikers post.
Best Wishes!
Training first, permit second
I apologize for joining in late.
About the HP number difference, I think both sounds about right. One (the higher number) is at the crank, inside the engine, while the smaller number is down at the rear wheel.
I'm never the fan of blaming the tool. To me, it's just refusing to admit responsibility. At the same time, it's sad to know that people are dying (or getting hurt) because they don't have enough information about what they're getting into.
The problem is not the bike, but it's the education and awareness (lack thereof). People need to stop considering a motorcycle as a toy and that riding is a sport, for fun. It is not just a heavier and motorized bicycle.
I do agree with the tiered/graduated license system… on both cars and motorcycles… which also should include a more comprehensive and thorough test to get licenses for both.
After some surfing on the web, I read about the loss of your son while attempting to learn how to ride it. It is truely sad. And I feel for you.
However, I would like to point out that he could have just as easily been killed riding a much less powerful bike that weighed more. You might think it makes a difference, but as an experienced motorcyclist who is nearly 57 years old, I can assure you that a motorcycle of any size, weight, or HP can be just as dangerous as another. You might find this counter intuitive, but it's true.
I do agree, however, that it is way too easy for people to get a license in this country. Motorcycle or car. And with motorcycling, there are additional inherent risks that must be understood. Only proper and intensive training will make a difference. And I support your efforts in this area.
First to Tom and family… my heart goes out to you on your loss in ways few of us (thankfully) understand. I too lost an 18 year old son (different cause – similar pain). To read some of these posts from relatively insensitive people is astounding to me. Let's all try to remember that we're all entitled to our own 'wrong' opinions – but perhaps we can expresst these opinions to each other in a more caring and sensitive manner.
I am an avid motorcyclist. I have been riding powered 2 wheels for about 40 years now – starting with a 2.5 HP Briggs & Stratton minibike. When I returned from riding that first minibike up the street, the look of wonder and excitement in my eyes has caused my mother 40 years of concern.
But the concern has apparently been for naught – I took my tumbles in my 'dirt bike' years – we all do. But as a street rider for 34 years now, I have been involved in 2 accidents. One was my fault at very low speed and the second was not my fault at street speeds. In both cases – injuries were minimal and I was back on my motorcycle as quick as possible.
All of that being said – I am a total advocate of the 'graduated license'. I experienced this personally, not 'by choice', but rather by finances… I could only afford small, underpowered bikes as a youth and only as I have grown older and more financially mature have I been able to afford bigger, more powerful machines. But in all that – I have learned about the 'monster within'.
That monster is the exhilerating feeling of acceleration and the excitement of seeing just how far I can bank my motorcycle on a corner. The monster is subtle and still works on me today. My daily riding involves containing that monster.
As a mature and experienced rider, I am often asked about motorcycles; questions like "should I get one" or "what kind would you recommend"? My answers always remain the same… "can you restrain the monster in you?" and "get a relatively small bike so you can gain experience – remember, speed kills and more speed kills faster".
To 'expand' on your article (and I know my suggesion is quite likely unreachable), I would like to suggest that advertising, specifically television with the 'moving images' of motorcycles doing things 'fast' should be banned. I have seen beer commercials that have a motorcycle trying to provoke a street race, I've seen manufacturers' advertisments showing an oncoming motorcycle banked so far that the rider's knee is virtually touching the ground, and I've even seen one advertisement where the rider was doing a 'brake stand' and smoking the rear tire. These commercials touch our youth (mostly testosterone inflamed young men) and make them believe riding like that is 'cool'. And I believe that is wrong – that it promotes the unsafe operation of a powerful and deadly vehicle.
So my support to your efforts on graduated licensing is there. Get the message out – if I need to sign a petition, please tell me where. I commend your attempt and would like nothing more than to see your plan adopted not only in California (where I live), but nationally.
Ultimately – people are going to break the laws. Gun licensing does not prevent people for getting illegal guns. Automobile licensing does not prevent people from driving without insurance. I had a young friend who broke the Canadian motorcycle licensing law(s) and rode his motorcycle to California and back – the laws did not prevent him and since he did nothing to provoke the attention of the police – he was not stopped and checked. This lad repeatedly broke the rules for motorcycling… and eventually died on his motorcycle. Unfortunately – you cannot legislate common sense. BUT!! if a law like this saves just a single life – a single family from the pain of unexplained and unexpected loss? that law is worth it.
Let us all remember that we live in America – and that the 'freedoms' we all enjoy come with 'responsibility'. If someone truly believes that a graduated licensing program is restricting their 'freedom', I believe they are expressing an attitude of 'irresponsibility'. Show me someone who truly believes that being INITIALLY and TEMPORARILY restricted or constrained by rules and I believe we will find someone displaying an irresponsible nature. I am quite comfortable complying with the 'rules' imposed on me knowing that if I simply comply, I can progress through the process and the constraints are removed.

Hi A-J,
I am sorry for your loss of your son. Your post is important because next week is Jarrads first year in the spirital world. You and my sister have had it rough. Thanks for your paritciapation.
you might have to type them in manually.
Best Wishes
Did you know its happening?
Thanks for writing
Graduated licensing for motorcycles has come to a few states
And Connecticut has this-
Hi M,
Todays full on race bikes are not the humble put-puts of my time.
As you can see, it looks many like states are adopting training.
Best Wishes!
Not sure where this is going to end up – but I have just finished reading the
article online at this url:

Hello everyone!
I am happily nursing my 9 week old DD, but am sadly back at work already & have to use that noisy impersonal pump. DD was having latch-on issues initially, and was a "lazy nurser," not gaining enough weight at her 1 month checkup, according to the Pedi (I think she was only low by a few ounces, and had plenty of wet & poopy diapers).
I'm trying to increase my milk supply; I've been pumping for the last 3 weeks (this is week 4 back at work), but only getting between 6-8 oz. total each day between 3 pumping sessions. I tried pumping 4 times while at work, but I was just not getting anything done!
Letting down okay (which is actually kinda painful), just not producing much! I nurse DD almost exclusively on the weekends (I only add formula if she seems really famished) and when I'm home with her in the evenings. She gets bm & formula (mixed) at daycare and has the usual 4-6 oz per feeding--more or less. Financially and esthecially, I'd rather be providing all of her nutrition myself, I'm just not sure what else to do to increase my supply!
I've been using Fenugreek, but have been getting mixed reviews as to the dosage (from 1000 to 6000 mg a day?). I drink well over a gallon of water a day, and I just started on oatmeal for breakfast today.
ALSO! My darling (older) sister is doing my daycare for me (for now-- she's 22 weeks along with ds #2!), and has suggested several times that I give dd a few oz of water every once in a while; "It won't hurt her to give her water when she's thirsty, ya know," she'll say. I prefer to nurse whenever she's interested-- especially since she's not lacking hydration.
A little confused, feeling like I'm letting her down (like I can't provide enough), and determined not to quit, but could really use some suggestions!
Allie (proud mommy to Rachael Mae)
