February 02, 2011
On Tuesday, Y! Sports Nick Cotsonika counted down the top storylines for the stretch run in the NHL, as teams shake off the All-Star Break fog and get back to the business at hand.
Today, we're looking at a dozen specific players that we think are the most fascinating to observe over the next two months; players that either are looking to reverse their fortunes from the first half or hold their team's destiny in their hands or whose acquisition by a playoff team could shift the balance of power as the postseason approaches.
Here are the 12 most fascinating players in the NHL stretch run:
Tim Thomas(notes), Boston Bruins
At some point, the hockey world will take a step back, stare at the stat sheet and let out a collective gasp at the masterpiece Thomas is composing for the Bruins. Through 37 games, he has a 1.82 GAA and a .945 save percentage. If these numbers hold, he'll have the lowest GAA since Miikka Kiprusoff(notes) in 2003-04 and the best save percentage ... ever. No, seriously: The stat gained prominence in 1983-84, and no goaltender since has posted a year-end save percentage over .940. History in the making?
Brad Richards(notes), Dallas Stars
Richards has 58 points in 51 games, and is on pace to set a new personal best in goals scored (he has 20; his best was 26 in 2003-04). He's the MVP of the Western Conference's most surprising team, and the catalyst for its second-leading scorer Loui Eriksson(notes). Can Richards play into Hart finalist contention?
Meanwhile, there's this little issue of his impending unrestricted free agency playing out at the same time he's leading the Stars. The Jamie Langenbrunner(notes) deal was a message to Richards that the Stars are serious about contending; will he sign before the deadline? Before season's end? At all?
Jean-Sebastien Giguere(notes), Toronto Maple Leafs
Forget another trip on the Tomas Kaberle(notes) merry-go-round; let's talk about another Leafs no-trade clause. Giggy's salary and cap hit are less of an issue, as they're pro-rated at the deadline and he goes unrestricted next summer. His health is the main concern, along with this no-trade clause that Giguere said he'd be willing to consider waiving. Bottom line: Giguere is an inconsistent 33-year-old netminder who just so happens to have more postseason experience than the majority of the keepers in this league. In a tandem, for a playoff team, he could be an asset.
Chris Stewart(notes), Colorado Avalanche
While Peter Forsberg will grab the headlines and Craig Anderson(notes) will make fans clasp their hands together praying for a return to dominance, Stewart's the one we have our eyes on. He had 11 goals and 25 points before injuring himself in a fight on Nov. 27. Since then, he's had two assists in six games back. Colorado is 6-2 when he scores a goal, and he was an offensive force earlier in the season. They need him back at that level.
Alex Ovechkin(notes),
Washington Capitals
Ovechkin is on pace for exactly 30 goals this season, which would be 16 fewer than his career low. Everyone's been asking if he'll remain on that pace or catch fire in the stretch run ... well, now it's the stretch run. The Capitals are 15th in the NHL in team goals. They need the captain to lead, and have this team rediscover its offensive swagger before the postseason. Maybe last night's hit on PK Subban(notes) is an indication that Ovechkin is rounding back into form:
Jeff Skinner(notes), Carolina Hurricanes
Logan Couture(notes) still has the rookie goal lead with 22 in 49 games. Skinner has the point lead with 40 in 51 games, to Couture's 33 ... and also had an entire weekend when the hockey media fawned over him as the Justin Bieber of the NHL in Raleigh. The Hurricanes begin the day ninth in the East; can Skinner help lead them to the postseason cut or is there a rookie wall he's yet to collide with as an 18-year-old star?
Dwayne Roloson(notes), Tampa
Bay Lightning
Roloson has four shutouts for the Lightning since coming over from the New York Islanders. He's also had three games in which he's given up four goals or more. Taking away those extremes, he's been very solid for the Bolts, who might be in the lead for the Presidents' Trophy now were it not for their goalie foibles earlier this season. Is Roloson the answer?
Dustin Byfuglien(notes), Atlanta Thrashers
His lead in points as a defenseman has evaporated, as Keith Yandle(notes) now has 45. His lead in goals (16) is being threatened by another recent forward/defense 'tweeer in Brent Burns(notes) of the Minnesota Wild (14). Dustin Byfuglien and the Norris Trophy have been synonymous for most of the season, and he's still third in the USA Today power rankings for that award. But he's scoreless in his last 11 games, playing to a minus-6. The Thrashers need him to regain form, having gone 3-5-3 in that stretch. Getting Tobias Enstrom(notes) healthy would be a start.
Marian Hossa(notes), Chicago
Hossa had a goal and a helper in last night's 7-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blackhawks are a bubble team in the Western Conference as the stretch run begins; after scoring seven goals in October, Hossa has four since returning from injury on Dec. 26. He heats up, the Blackhawks move up the standings.
Sergei Bobrovsky(notes),
Philadelphia Flyers
'Bob' was pulled last night against the Lightning, a rare misstep for a goalie that was on a six-game winning streak, having not given up more than two goals in the game during January. Simply put, the undrafted Russian rookie remains the key to the Flyers' playoff drive, solving a problem between the pipes from the start of the season. They have other options if he falters; none are as appealing as Bobrovsky when he's on.
Anze Kopitar(notes), Los
Angeles Kings
The Kings center has 49 points in 51 games, which is right around his pace for last season. But he also finished 2009-10 with 38 points on the power play ... and this year, doesn't have a power-play point in his last 11 games. He hasn't scored a power-play goal since Dec. 16. The Kings have the goaltending; middle of the pack offensive puts their playoff chances in doubt.
Patrick Marleau(notes), San Jose
Was last night Patrick Marleau's calling card? The disappointing Sharks forward had the game-winning goal and a helper on Joe Thornton's(notes) empty netter in San Jose's 5-3 win over the Coyotes. He's still in the midst of a season from hell: Following up a career year with 19 goals and a minus-17. But much like Hossa with Chicago, if he finds some consistency, the Sharks can start to live life off the bubble.

Maxim Rysanov is a Ukrainian-British violist and conductor, based in London. His viola teachers were Maria Sitkovskaya in Moscow and John Glickman in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama; his conducting instructor was Alan Hazeldine, also at the Guildhall School. Known primarily as a violist and secondarily as a conductor, Rysanov divides his attention between playing international festivals and conducting concerts around the world. He is also an active chamber musician, playing recitals with such artists as Leif Ove Andsnes, Nicola Benedetti, Alice Coote, Janine Jansen, Gidon Kremer, Mischa Maisky, Vadim Repin, Maxim Vengerov, and many other musicians. His strong interest in contemporary music has led him to work with composers Valentin Bibik, Leonid Desyatnikov, Richard Dubugnon, Giya Kancheli, Elena Langer, Dobrinka Tabakova, and Benjamin Yusupov. In 2014, appearing with violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, Rysanov performed the world premiere of Krzysztof Penderecki's Double Concerto in Moscow, under the composer's direction.

If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

The 599 GTB Fiorano is Ferrari's two-seat flagship. It ended up replacing the Ferrari 575M Maranello and takes its name from Gran Turismo Berlinetta. It tops out at around 330 km/h and hits 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, so it boasts impressive sprint times. Evo and Top Gear Magazine ended up naming the 599 GTB as Car of the Year and Supercar of the Year for 2006, respectively.
Although one could buy a 599 GTB new as these are still being produced, it would be far easier to pick one up used for a lower price here on JamesEdition. Sellers can post their Pininfarina-designed 599 GTBs for sale, and the discriminating shopper can easily find the perfect match. With a Tipo F133F 6.0 L V12 engine making these the most powerful series production road cars Ferrari has ever made, it would be well worth the time spent.

Google partners with nonprofit to change face of philanthropy
Google Inc. has stepped in with major funding for nonprofit Charity: Water, which brings clean, safe drinking water to developing nations, according to WTOP.
The $5 million grant will create and install sensors on 4,000 wells across Africa by 2015 that will send back real-time data on the water flow at each site. The grant is part of the first class of Google's Global Impact Awards totaling $23 million to spur innovation among nonprofits. Experts say the new annual grants are a part of a growing trend in venture philanthropy from funders who see technology as an instrument for social change.

Ever wonder why we belong to so many groups: nation, ethnicity, religion, college alums, sports teams fan clubs? Most of these memberships don't provide any tangible benefits, and can demand a heavy price including financial contributions, adherence to time-consuming rituals, and limitations on freedom. Some of these group memberships can even call on us to join in a violent conflict, with a risk of injury or death. What do we get in return? Written by a psychologist, this book reveals a psychological reward for identifying with groups: perception of control. Reviewing psychological theory and research, as well as reporting original empirical studies, this book demonstrates why control is so important to us, and how groups can help us gain or restore the feeling that we are in charge or our lives.

So Larry Walker just bowled a perfect 300
Larry Walker was a very good baseball player. He is also apparently a very good bowler.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Across his 17 year major-league career, Larry Walker authored an OPS+ of 141, hit 383 homers, won the MVP, claimed seven Gold Gloves and made the All-Star team five times. That is to say, Larry Walker was good at baseball.
Now please do adjust your expectations because it appears that Larry Walker is also very good at bowling ...
I must share with all. Bowl in a league and tonight got my first perfect game!! 300! Never thought possible. #baskinginmyglory
— Larry Walker (@Cdnmooselips33) April 11, 2014
To repeat, for proper emphasis: Larry Walker, baseball-ist in repose, bowled a perfect 300!
Needless to say, the baseball enthusiast should celebrate Mr. Walker's accomplishment. To that end, here's this ...

Dr Jeffrey Briggs is the best doctor in town in my opinion.
I have been going to dr. Jeffrey Briggs off and on for 20 years. I am 35 years old now and my first experience with dr Briggs was when I was 14 and being a young girl it was very hard and uncomfortable to allow a doctor examine me. I was very comfortable right when he walked through the door. He has a presence and a demeanor that instantly makes you comfortable. Also one thing I look for in a doctor is, am i comfortable telling them personal things? And asking them embarrassing questions. And that he is. He makes you very comfortable no matter what the situation is. The other thing that I like about Dr.Briggs is that he will be very honest with you. He will not hold his tongue and tell you straight out what ever is on his mind. Whether it be good or bad. I recommend Dr. Briggs to the highest respect.

A pleasing aspect of the first six months' result is the strong positive cashflow from operations of $1.6 million. Review of Operations The improved performance and trading conditions that we saw in the second half of 2009, continued into the first half of 2010. During this period we have been successful in securing significant system sales within the Appliance, Precious Metals and Meat Processing markets. Contracts for new projects destined for Australia, Brazil, China, Chile and the USA have stretched our capacity to a point where we have a requirement for additional resources. In addition to these new projects, we have been working on, and completing, production lines for customers in Australia, Turkey, USA and Spain. We continue to see increased activity within our meat processing market and this has been boosted by the establishment of Scott Technology Australia Pty Ltd in Sydney. An Australian General Manager has been appointed who has significant experience in the meat industry, both within Australia and worldwide. Development work is carrying on to extend our product offering and world leading technology. This is in addition to the rollout of our commercialised systems and we are pleased to report another X-Ray Primal System was successfully installed at a New Zealand meat processing plant during this period. The past six months has seen an uplift in the global appliance market with enquiries increasing toward normal levels. We are also seeing this in our minerals and precious metals markets where the strong combination of Rocklabs' industry experience with Scott's expertise in large automated systems is being recognised by the market. Dividend and Bonus Issue In late March the Directors paid an interim dividend of 1.25 cents per share, together with a 1 for 10 non-taxable bonus issue which also participated in the dividend. This reflects the Directors' confidence in the growth and trading ability of the company supported by the underlying strength of the company's balance sheet. With a strong balance sheet, improved trading conditions and a talented team of people, we are positioned to deliver on a growing level of current work and future prospects. We continue to assess business and growth opportunities and will progress those where there is a positive impact on earnings and where strong synergies exist. Stuart J McLauchlan Christopher C Hopkins Chairman Managing Director

Toyota Gazoo Racing's 2017 WEC challenge
Ahead of the forthcoming WEC season, Toyota Gazoo Racing outlines the changes to its TS050 contender, and why it choses to compete in the top flight of endurance racing.
Toyota Gazoo Racing unveils 2017-specification TS050
Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed its updated TS050 Hybrid race car which will carry its hopes in the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Monza in northern Italy hosted the first public appearance of the new car, presented alongside team management and the drivers of the three TS050 Hybrids which will compete this season.
The team has outlined a clear target to earn its first Le Mans victory following an extraordinary near miss in 2016. That has required a combined effort at its technical centres in Higashi-Fuji and Cologne, which has seen upgrades applied to every area of the TS050.
The 2017 car features a 2.4-liter V6 turbocharged petrol engine combined with 8MJ hybrid system. Significant effort at Higashi-Fuji sees the introduction of a new engine, optimising thermal efficiency by increasing the compression ratio via development of the combustion chamber, cylinder block and cylinder head. The hybrid system too has been optimised. Motor generator units (MGU) have been reduced in size and weight while the high-powered lithium-ion battery has been developed further.
WEC regulations for 2017 target a reduction in aerodynamic efficiency, to increase the Le Mans lap time by several seconds for safety reasons. This is achieved by raising the front splitter by 15mm in combination with a narrower rear diffuser.
Using tools such as computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnels, Toyota Gazoo Racing has modified its aerodynamic concept to meet this challenge; a raised nose and sharp undercut to the sidepods are the most noticeable modifications.
According to new regulations, teams are limited to two aerodynamic configurations per season, reduced from three in 2016, with the low-downforce TS050 launched today. Tire usage is also restricted, with each car limited to four sets, plus two spare tires, for qualifying and six-hour races. The team has worked with Michelin to meet this challenge, including new compounds and constructions, as well as optimising the suspension geometry to limit wear.
Other rule changes are designed to enhance safety. Side mirrors now need to pass a wider visibility field test while hybrid cars must display lights to indicate normal powertrain behaviour. If the green safety light is not illuminated during a race, a car will be forced to pit for repairs.
The 2017-specification TS050 Hybrid has already recorded over 30,000km in testing this year, comprising five tests, at Paul Ricard, Motorland Aragon and Portimao, and including four 30-hour endurance tests.
"The whole team is motivated and determined for this season. We want to win, there is no doubt about that, but we know it will be a tough fight with Porsche," explained Toshio Sato, team president. "The team in Higashi-Fuji and Cologne has worked incredibly hard to update the TS050 Hybrid and the first indications are encouraging. Having a third car is an additional opportunity and we will do our best to again deliver a great spectacle for the fans at Le Mans. We know from painful experience that Le Mans is a very difficult race to win, but that is our target. Everything - the car, the team and the drivers - has to work perfectly to achieve our goal. We will see in June if we have done enough."
"Although the TS050 Hybrid shares the same name as the 2016 car, its performance has been greatly improved by reviewing the powertrain and enhancing efficiency in all areas," added Histake Murata, racing hybrid project leader. "Toyota Gazoo Racing's biggest goal for this year, as always, is winning Le Mans. The team in Higashi-Fuji has worked ceaselessly since Le Mans last year to develop a powertrain which will deliver performance over one lap and over a full race distance, enabling us to compete at the front. This has resulted in a new engine, plus modifications to the motor generator units and battery. The first results are very encouraging but we will continue to fine-tune so we are ready."
"Our 2017 TS050 Hybrid represents a significant update; the only item which is not changed is the monocoque," stated Pascal Vasselon, technical director. "At several races last year we showed the potential of our car with strong performances. But to achieve our targets we need more, so as well as big aerodynamic changes, we have optimised each area for performance and weight. What happened at Le Mans last year was painful so we gave extra attention to quality management. Zero risk doesn't exist so we operate according to a given level of risk, which this year we have reduced. Pre-season testing has gone well in terms of performance and reliability so we feel positive but we also know we face a tough competitor."

The results of children's mock A- level and GCSE examinations are currently concentrating the minds of parents throughout the country. What, they are wondering, can be done to improve their offspring's performance in the real examinations later this year? One answer, albeit pricey, is to enrol their son or daughter on an Easter revision course run by a tutorial college or other organisation.
Most tutorial colleges in Britain, of which there are now around 50, run courses to help raise the performance of students who either risk complete failure, or need to achieve better grades to enrol on their chosen undergraduate course.
Easter revision courses are a relatively recent phenomenon. They first started some 15 years ago, and enrolment numbers have increased steadily ever since. The new market partly evolved in the wake of a mounting awareness among parents and pupils that high examination grades are increasingly important to be sure of securing a place at one of the better-known, if not better, universities.
In recent years GCSE and A-level results nationally have improved dramatically, which in turn has allowed the more highly rated university departments to raise their entrance requirements. The corollary to higher average grades and the massive expansion in the number of universities in Britain is that employers have become more choosy about which universities they recruit from.
Dr Nigel Stout, principal of Mander Portman Woodward College, the largest independent sixth form college in the country, says: "Ten years ago one saw people who had failed A-level mocks and were worried about failing the whole thing.
"Because of the public perception that it matters a good deal which kind of university one gets into, people are much more discerning about just going for gold all the time. We have people on Easter courses who are almost certain to achieve a B without any help from us, but who want to go the last mile.
"We do have people coming in on Easter courses worried about failing, but they form a smaller proportion."
The popularity of A-level revision courses has also been increased by the arrival of modular A-levels. This has led to demand from lower sixth as well as upper sixth and GCSE candidates.
Dr Stout says that children who have missed work through illness, or any other reason, can benefit especially from Easter courses, as can those who find it hard to revise.
Typically, tutorial colleges offer pupils the chance to study either one A-level subject or two GCSEs intensively for a week. Candidates wishing to revise two A-levels or up to four GCSEs should enrol for two weeks.
Some of the larger colleges prepare students not just simply for the same subject but for the same examination board by which they will be examined. Some of the smaller colleges are unable to be board-specific, but focus instead on core topics common to all exam syllabuses.
A-level candidates are normally advised against enrolling to revise for three A-levels because the workload is considered to be too heavy.
One A-level course at Mander Portman Woodward, for example, would involve the student studying for eight hours a day over a 40-hour week.
In small groups of six to 10, pupils spend six hours a day on a whistle- stop revision of the syllabus, and the remaining two hours working on exam papers and brushing up on exam technique. Candidates are trained to improve their answers in real-time exam conditions, and advised on which topics to revise first, and how to concentrate for prolonged periods of time. No homework is set during MPW revision courses, although it is set by some other colleges.
At Mander Portman Woodward's west-London-based college, around 25 A-level subjects are offered for revision. Art, theatre studies and laboratory- based scientific work are not available.
No interviews are required for the college's Easter revision courses. It is simply a matter of booking in. The college does, however, require students to attend regularly and to behave themselves. Those who fail to meet these conditions are asked to leave. The college will also not enrol students without permission from their schools.
It is difficult to quantify what difference attending a revision course really makes, because the students return to their schools after Easter to continue working for their exams.
However, MPW uses detailed questionnaires to try to ascertain satisfaction with its courses. More generally the college, which also runs full-time, one- and two-year GCSE and A-level courses and A-level retake courses, prides itself on its academic record.
In the last academic year, for example, of the college's total 679 A- level exam entries there were 178 passes at grade A, 192 Bs, 137 Cs, 83 Ds, 42Es and 47 fails at N or U.
The courses are expensive. Fees in the 30 colleges belonging to the professional association governing standards in independent sixth form and tutorial colleges, the Conference for Independent Further Education, range from pounds 400 to pounds 520 for a one-week A-level course and from pounds 200 to pounds 280 for a one-week GCSE course.
These 30 colleges are inspected and recognised by the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education (BAC). Of the 50 national colleges, 36 are also registered with the Department for Education and Employment as independent schools, because they prepare pre-16-year- old children for GCSEs. As such, the latter will also be subject to regular inspections by Ofsted. Four colleges - the Cambridge Centre For Sixth Form Studies, Hurtwood House in Surrey, d'Overbroeck's in Oxford, and MPW - are also accredited by the Independent Schools Joint Council (ISJC).
Colleges are to be found throughout England but they are concentrated in London, Oxford and Cambridge. The main residential centres are in Oxford and Cambridge.

XAMA January 8, 2008 Downtown Parking
CITY OF XENIA DOWNTOWN PARKING FACTS The City of Xenia Zoning Ordinance requires all businesses to provide off- street parking spaces for their customers and employees at businesses' expense: To provide convenient parking Keep cars off streets to lessen congestion.
Downtow n Parking CITY OF XENIA DOWNTOWN PARKING FACTS The Xenia Downtown is exempt from these normal parking responsibilities of owners. City of Xenia, in a partnership with the downtown merchants and owners, has provided municipal parking lots to relieve congestion. In addition the City provides traffic enforcement to keep parking convenient, and avoid congestion. Downtown parking is more problematic.
Downtow n Parking CITY OF XENIA DOWNTOWN PARKING TIMELINE 2006-2007– Several members of City Council raise concerns about current condition/fairness of City Parking Lots and procedures to staff; a task force began meeting and a parking study completed. 2007-2008 – A Downtown Strategic Plan was developed which delineated the importance of attractive, safe, shared parking downtown to attract customers 2008-2009 – The parking lot at Whiteman/E. Main was improved to improve look and function of that lot.
Downtow n Parking CITY OF XENIA DOWNTOWN PARKING TIMELINE 2007-2008– The parking task force developed a policy, with delineated fees and procedures. 2008 – City Council voted to charge updated fees to accommodate parking provisions. 2009 – New policy unveiled to Xenia Area Merchants, and other downtown stakeholders.
Downtow n Parking CITY OF XENIA DOWNTOWN PARKING STUDY DISCOVERIES Many of the existing retailers were frustrated by the scarcity of parking for their customers in key quadrants of the downtown. Some of the parking allocations were unfair to other businesses, and many questioned the use of premium parking for non-customers. Approximately 50% of the merchants would prefer the old meters to the current system. While premium parking was scarce, there was plenty of parking available further out in other quadrants.
Downtow n Parking Purposes of the new Policies - 2009 To establish guidelines, expectations, and procedures for the enforcement of Municipal Parking Lots usage in downtown Xenia – for residents, shoppers, visitors and employees in an equitable manner. To provide attractive, safe, and coordinated parking for shoppers and merchants visiting downtown. (In accordance with 2008 Downtown Strategic Plan.) To provide clearer guidance for the police department in enforcing Downtown City Parking Ordinances.
Downtow n Parking Shared Assumptions of the Task Force Downtown parking policies are crucial to the equitable use and distribution of these limited spaces by all downtown stakeholders. That the visitor or retail customer's need for parking close to shopping/service opportunities was the highest priority -- Nurturing the retail environment. That employers (and employees) should have the opportunity to lease parking spaces for their staff/employees in underutilized lots, or non-premium spaces. That the City needs to partner with the downtown businesses to ensure the success of these policies and their intent.
City-Provided Parking Downtown
Downtow n Parking Downtown Parking Policies TYPES OF PARKING AVAILABLE IN CITY OWNED PARKING LOTS: Open Parking Placard Parking Premium Parking Residential Premium Parking

If you have a dining companion who's a perfectionist, as I do, here's a good task for that person: Make him slice the kaffir lime leaves!
I've written before about how to shred kaffir lime leaves, a technique that I've recently learned is called "chiffonade." I don't have the skill, patience or — truth be told — desire to know how to do such an exasperating thing. Which is why I am glad I do know someone who does. Here's a photo of his handiwork, above.

There are ten candidates vying for six seats on the Crescenta Valley Town Council for the Nov. 6 election.
"Its great to have so many," said Danette Erickson, CVTC member not up for election this year.
Those running epitomize the Crescenta Valley community, from a doctor from the Korean community to a college student.
CVTC has six seats open, three regular members and three alternate. There are two incumbents running: Cheryl Davis, present CVTC president, and Charles Beatty.
The eight new candidates are: Krista Smiley, Dr. Young S. Suh, Mike Claessens, Harry Leon, Odalis Suarez, Thomas Pollock, Charly Shelton and Will Swick.
Some of the candidates were at a rainy Harvest Market on Sunday. They met with those that braved the rain for fruits and vegetables.
Development and getting the word out about the town council were the main focus of those candidates.
For Suh it is a chance to bring the Korean community into the town council.
"I want to help families understand what the council does and how it is important," he said.
Outreaching to the community and having one voice is important to Leon as well. He has lived in Crescenta Valley for years and has witnessed the changes along Foothill Boulevard.
Public participation in the council is important, Leon said.
He has children attending CV schools and knows the important role the council can play in the future of the community as it grows and yet maintains the small town feel.
For Smiley this is a return to her volunteer and organizational roots. She has been on the council in the past. She said her concerns are about development in the area like the building in the 2600 block of Foothill Boulevard.
"I was one of the protesters that was out there for the Moreton bay fig tree," she said. "That is more than a tree it is a symbol of our community."
Protestors charged the development next to the tree as contributing to its poor state. The developers' grading permit was suspended in August due to a discrepancy where the plans depicted the property as flat; the land has a steep grade.
Smiley said she wanted to join the counsel again to help keep the public informed on the development in the area.
Swick who could not attend the Harvest Market gathering said he wanted to run for counsel to let people know more about CVTC.
"The [main thing] is to let everyone know about the town council and what they do," he said.
He has lived in the community for a total of 30 years and for a long time was unaware of the council.
Shelton, a 2007 graduate of CV High School now attending college, wants to bring awareness of the council and local issues to a younger generation.
"I think there is a section of our community that doesn't feel like they have a voice. I would like to be that voice," he said.
The first candidate forum will be tonight at the La Crescenta Library at 7 p.m. Another forum is planned for Oct. 27 at Dunsmore Community Room at Dunsmore Park at 7 p.m.

Create a holiday card for your *TRUE LOVE* or for any extra-special person in your life
Create a holiday card with HEARTS on it
Create a holiday card that references any aspect of "The 12 Days of Xmas" that appeals to you
Here's a reminder of that dozen rather distinctive gifts!
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Twelve Drummers Drumming
Eleven Pipers Piping
Ten Lords a Leaping
Nine Ladies Dancing
Eight Maids a Milking
Seven Swans a Swimming
Six Geese a Laying
Five Golden Rings
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
so plenty of ideas there, eh?! i confess that i'd planned to stick firmly to option #2, when, during the recycling challenge, while flipping through my box of saved holiday cards, I came upon one that actually had all twelve of the items in question. well you just cannot fight serendipity like that, can you?? so here's my admittedly slightly cheater-feeling card:
|"12 days" panel trimmed from an older store-bought card sent to us --or possibly to my mom-- in a previous year; patterned paper: october afternoon, echo park; heart brads: eyelet outlet; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, sewing machine
since the panel was fairly large and already a bit busy, i only needed a sentiment, a couple of mats and yes... i couldn't resist a few eyelet outlet heart brads, lol... to complete the design. i used the current atlantic hearts sketch, though in the end, i elected not to tilt the central panel. i will completely understand if that disqualifies me, but i truly was inspired by the sketch AND i also wanted to thank them for the shout-out to my flourishy reindeer card from last week!

There are three Ecozone regions in Ontario: Hudson Plains Boreal Shield Mixedwood Plains
Canada is made up of fifteen terrestrial ecozones Three of these ecozones are found in the Ontario Region The Boreal Shield stretches 3 800 km from Newfoundland to Alberta and includes parts of six provinces It holds 20% of Canada's land mass and 10% of its fresh water The Hudson Plains ecozone extends from northern Ontario into northeastern Manitoba and western Québec The Mixedwood Plains have become the commercial and industrial heartland of Canada interlaced with national and international transportation routes
This ecozone is centered in the northern Ontario region There are low- lying swampy plains, which are poorly drained The landscape rarely rises above 120 m in elevation Change in elevation in the belt of raised beaches where glaciers from the last ice age are rebounding the land The north has few trees due to the generally cool climate The forest is dense in the south with a sparser vegetation such as white and black spruce and tamarack Wet areas produce moss, lichen and sedges
Moderately long, cold winters to moderately short, cool summers The soils in this ecozone are poorly developed organic and permafrost The Human activities include trapping, hunting and recreation This ecozone has a very low population totaling only 10 000 residents The precipitation rate ranges from 400 to 700 mm There is a growing season in this ecozone of 90 to 150 days
This ecozone covers most of the Ontario region and is the largest of the fifteen regions in Canada It is where the Canadian Shield and the Boreal Forest overlap Millions of ponds, lakes and wetlands are in this ecozone, which were left by the glaciers About 80% of the land is covered in Jack Pine, White and Black Spruce, and Balsam Fir forests Human activities include recreation, tourism, forestry and mining Soils are heavily leached, and have bare rock and swampy areas this ecozone experiences short warm summers and long cold winters, which are moderated along the Great Lakes
This ecozone is found in the south of Ontario and covers the lower Great Lakes St. Lawrence River Valley It is the smallest terrestrial ecozone in Canada This region has extensive waterways, rolling plains and leached, wet climate soils with a warm growing season Due to the Great Lakes this region has abundant fresh water resources and rainfall Cool, short winters with relatively long, mild summers
The Mixedwood Plains is part of the Deciduous and Mixed forests containing maple, birch oak elm and pine trees However, little of the original forests remain due to urbanization Some wildlife, such as squirrels, raccoons and groundhogs are able to adapt to the man-made changes Human activities in this region include manufacturing, agriculture due to fertile soils and urbanizing because of the large number of major cities in Canada This ecozone houses almost half of Canada's population
The province of Ontario occupies three of the fifteen ecozones in Canada The Hudson Plain ecozone in the north has swampy plains and poor drainage The Boreal Shield covers most of the region with numerous ponds, lakes and wetlands left by the glacial age The Mixedwood Plains ecozone found in southern Ontario is the smallest ecozone in Canada This ecozone has fertile soil with a warm growing season Most of the the urbanization and industrialization of Ontario is found in this region

How difficult is it to get a novel published? Can the quality of the work alone help you? Apparently not. A newspaper has just carried out a stunt, in which it sent the opening chapters of two Booker-prize winning novels to 20 London agents and publishers. One was Stanley Middleton's Holiday, from 1974; the other VS Naipaul's 1971 In A Free State.
The result was everything the paper could have wished. Many didn't reply at all, and the ones who did mostly rejected both. Nobody recognised either writer. Barbara Levy, an agent, did express some interest in the Middleton, but said about the Naipaul, "We thought it was quite original" - you bet, Barb - "but in the end weren't quite enthusiastic enough, etc etc."
It's an extraordinarily shocking result, on the surface, though perhaps a slight confusion results from their having used two different books with a very different status. Like most readers, I can only take the quality of Middleton's book on trust, since it's more or less disappeared from the literary map. I know from other books of his that, even then, he was a fairly old-fashioned writer, though one of solid merit. It doesn't surprise me that someone embarking on a career now writing in this style might find it difficult to excite a publisher. I don't think much blame can really be pinned on anyone who failed to recognise it.
Naipaul's book, on the other hand, is a very different matter. In A Free State is not just a stunning novel, one of Naipaul's best, but surely a very famous one. It is really quite astonishing that no one approached recognised that electrifying first chapter about a derelict on a boat to Alexandria, and one feels that people professionally involved in contemporary fiction ought to know about contemporary fiction.
Even if, by chance, they hadn't read the novel or enough Naipaul to recognise that highly characteristic manner, you can't help feeling that there are not many days in the life of a slush-pile reader when something of that quality would cross their desk. Something really is wrong when not just one, but 20 different people can't identify work of such conspicuous quality.
But before we leap to the conclusion that it's down to incompetence, or our old favourite, the nepotistic ways of literary London, it might be as well to look at things from the point of view of publishers and agents. They are simply drowning in unsolicited manuscripts - I've heard people say that they can get 50 manuscripts every day. There is no point in pretending that, of those 50 manuscripts, any but a tiny fraction will be worth publishing, and anyone will tell you that, even if the slush pile is read, it is incredibly unlikely to yield anything much.
Agents and even large publishing houses are not places with an enormous number of staff, and no business could pay, let us say, three members of staff to deal on a full-time basis with a corner of the business which realistically may yield a couple of viable projects a year. Viable, too, in the sense that it could be brought out without shaming the house; the question of whether it would be any more likely to make money, or lead to a decent career, lies still further down the line.
The result is that, sadly, most agencies and certainly publishers have come to the conclusion that they can't devote a lot of time to the slush pile. An aspiring author now needs to be a good deal more persistent than simply submitting an opening chapter with a polite letter. The slush pile, should it even exist, is, I guess, often handed over to the most junior and least experienced person in the office, and the main end achieved is teaching them how to write polite letters of rejection by the bucket load.
The newspaper's exercise, in reality, is the exact equivalent of Mr Michael Moore's favoured tactic of shouting at the receptionists at multinational companies. It does seem incredible that the first chapter of In A Free State was so lightly discarded; but one should probably bear in mind that, in most cases, it was only seen by someone straight out of university, ill-paid and who in any case was not expecting to see anything good; someone too, who at this moment is probably quaking in their shoes for the colossal blunder they've just made.
What can be done? It must be remembered that the British publishing industry already brings out an enormous number of new novels every year. Frankly, when one reads a large number of them, it does seem unlikely that there is a huge volume of untapped talent. Most of those which do get published aren't much good as it is.
Certainly, the quality of literary judgement in the industry would be improved if those in charge were well enough read to recognise a famous novel by VS Naipaul. But I doubt we would see any great improvement in published novels if publishers and agents started devoting significant resources to dealing with the slush pile.
It's worth remembering, too, that Naipaul himself, even 50 years ago, had to be a good deal more persistent; that authors have always had to bring themselves to the attention of publishers by establishing their names in other ways, and to do no more than submit a manuscript is to take a gamble on a lucky chance. The requirements of persistence, of slowly gaining some kind of name in other ways, is itself a kind of filter of quality. It isn't ideal; but if there is a more efficient way of discovering literary merit, no one's ever discovered it.Reuse content
