Today a market will be held in the town to showcase local produce and encourage people to support local businesses...
Plans to put the market back into Market Rasen are gathering a pace according to business leaders in the town.
Today over sixty stalls are expected to be set up in the market place to showcase local food and produce.
It's just one idea to try and put the town back on the map after it was chosen as a Portas Pilot earlier this year.

Jordan Maxwell - You Can't Burn an Angel
in Education
Tonight we are delighted to talk with Mr. Jordan Maxwell.
For more than 50 years, Jordan continues as a preeminent researcher and independent scholar in the field of occult and religious philosophy. His interest in these subjects began as far back as 1959. He served for three-and-a-half years as the Religion Editor of Truth Seeker Magazine, America's oldest Freethought Journal (which was established in 1873). His work exploring the hidden foundations of Western religions and secret societies has captivated the attention of critical thinkers from around the world.
He has conducted dozens of intensive seminars; hosted his own radio talk shows; guested on more than 600 radio shows; and has written, produced and appeared in numerous television shows and documentaries (including three two-hour specials for the CBS network, as well as the internationally acclaimed five-part Ancient Mystery Series) - all devoted to understanding ancient religions and their pervasive influence on the world today.
His work on the subject of secret societies and their symbols, has fascinated his world wide audience for decades.
For the next 90 minutes Jordan will take us on a ride through the origins of the Abrahamic religions, the ancient Mysteries, the importance of seeking truth, his friendship with Manly P. Hall, the true foundation of the Roman Church as we also discuss UFOs and ETs, the ancient pyramids, Zecharia Sitchen, Preston Nichols and concluding with his thoughts on the Philadelphia experiment.

One of her writing quirks is that she loves to include bits and pieces of her ancestors and ancestry in all of her books. Her family centers her and keeps her sane, which is why she enjoys adding elements of family, hearth, and home in all of her romances.

Much-beloved and on First Street, on Main Street, in the and award winners and have been joined in recent weeks by a second Yo'Belle Frozen Yogurt shop — there is — and an Italian gelateria.
At Frati Gelato Café, the newest shop to open in the Riverfront development along Main Street, you can sit inside or out along the river promenade while sampling the authentic Italian flavors of the gelato, panini, salads, bruschetta and other treats created at this family business.
Gelato servings begin at $3.75 for a single-scoop "piccolo" in cup or cone and ascend to $6 for the Italian equivalent of an ice-cream sandwich, which wraps three scoops of gelato in a baked sweet bun.
You'll want to try a few samples before choosing your order: Don't miss the signature "Frate" flavor, made with mascarpone cheese, pistachios and pine nuts.
Frati — Italian slang for "bro" or more formally "brother," as in the tonsured monk of the café's logo — offers non-dairy flavors as well as creamy delights.
The café also serves a half-dozen pre-made panini to eat in or take out, among other light fare. You can even have an Italian breakfast with toast and butter, frittata, pastries and espresso drinks.

Daniel Fisher, Forbes Staff
I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
A West Virginia jury found two members of a Pittsburgh law firm liable of civil racketeering for conspiring with a radiologist to fabricate evidence in asbestos lawsuits against railroad operator CSX.
The jury in federal court in Wheeling ruled against attorneys Robert Peirce and Louis Raimond, as well as radiologist Ray Harron, a physician who supplied diagnoses for tens of thousands of asbestos claims for plaintiff lawyers. The three were ordered to pay CSX $429,240.47, which may be tripled under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Practices Act. CSX will also ask for attorneys fees.
CSX took the unusual step of suing the people suing it in 2007, accusing the lawyers and Harron of engaging in a RICO conspiracy to file fraudulent asbestos claims. The company identified hundreds of cases where Harron had initially found the patients clear of asbestosis, then switched his diagnosis. It presented 11 of those cases at trial, along with testimony of physicians that the plaintiffs had no evidence of asbestosis.
The case journeyed all the way to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals as Peirce battled CSX's aggressive attempt to hold him liable for filing what the company called baseless lawsuits. The appeals court, in a pivotal ruling two years ago, allowed the case to proceed.
Peirce said he was disappointed with the verdict in the trial.
"Of the thousands of asbestos claims we have filed, CSX identified 11 that they claimed were filed without any reasonable basis," Peirce said.
The defense presented testimony of two radiologists that the plaintiffs did have asbestos-related lung disease, Peirce said, as well as testimony of a West Virginia trial lawyer that the defendant attorneys had more than enough evidence to sue CSX.
"For reasons that we cannot understand, the jury ignored this testimony," Peirce said.
"We are convinced that the jury got it wrong, and strongly disagree with the verdict," he said, "but as lawyers, we recognize and respect the jury system and legal process." He didn't say if he'd appeal.
Perhaps the jury wasn't convinced by the testimony of one of the radiologists, Harron, who was also a defendant. The prolific diagnostician surrendered his Texas medical license in 2007 amid claims he'd falsely diagnosed former asbestosis claimants with silicosis, another lung condition that can arise from industrial jobs. The two conditions are rarely found in the same person. The details of his Texas problems weren't allowed to be presented in the West Virginia trial.
CSX argued at trial that Peirce should have known some of his claims were fraudulent since he would send potential plaintiffs back to Harron for subsequent X-rays if they were initially found negative for asbestosis. In at least one case the form spelling out how a plaintiff was exposed to asbestos was written by two different people, and the plaintiff later testified under oath neither he nor his wife had written in the bits describing how he'd handled "asbestos cement and valve packing." As a matter of law, plaintiffs must establish not only that they have asbestosis but that they were exposed to while working for the defendant.
The jury verdict represents a rare victory for companies fighting what they consider to be fraudulent asbestosis claims. Peirce's law firm prevailed in a 2009 trial in which two of its clients switched places in a screening in order to generate a "positive" asbestosis x-ray. The jury failed to find a Peirce client recruiter had committed fraud.
I understand there is some 30 billion available for paying victims. A relative passed away just after the first of the year with lung cancer. They had contacted one of the law firms handling these cases to see about qualifying for some help paying the medical bills about four months they passed. I think they are still waiting to hear something.
It appears this is a lawyer enrichment operation. I'm not knocking anything because most firms do put some time and talent into verifying and documenting claims. With that much money involved, there will be fraud. This is far better than the Tobacco settlement where the states took the money and the people got nada. I like the idea that people are able to get some compensation out of this.
Be aware of a pervasive asbestos scam: double-dipping. The attorneys for a plaintiff (who presumably truly suffered injury) sues an individual defendant (a successor corporation to a defunct asbestos manufacturers, a small business that used or installed products that contained the asbestos, etc.) in state court for damages, then turns after the litigation and sues the asbestos trust in federal court for the same damages. The two court systems are ignorant the other has seen the same case with a separate defendant. The plaintiff collects twice and the attorney pockets two fees. Ohio recently adopted a law to curb the abuse and Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai is working to stop the double-dipping in his state.
That will not look good at all.

A look at tonight's Kings game vs. San Antonio; including: broadcast information, three keys to the game and probable starters.
Kings (20-39) at Spurs (45-14)
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio
TV: Ch. 10
Radio: 1140, 950
Tracking Tony: The Kings need to make it tougher on Spurs guard Tony Parker, who had 30 points and 11 assists against the Kings last week.
Bench boost: Marcus Thornton is averaging 18.4 points in his past five games while shooting 50 percent. He had 20 points Wednesday as part of a season-best 64 points from the bench.
Controlled tempo: The Kings want to play at a fast pace, but they can't play recklessly. Limiting turnovers will give Sacramento its best chance of winning, especially if it can't match the past two games of shooting better than 50 percent.

text: I have suggested on more than one occasion that a practicing homosexual should not serve in public office. This is for the simple reason that character is important qualification for public office, and sexual conduct is an essential component of character.Homosexual behavior is aberrant sexual behavior. It is clearly contrary to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" to which Thomas Jefferson so eloquently referred in the Declaration of Independence. Biblical passages such as Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and 1 Timothy 1:8-11 make it abundantly clear what "Nature's God" thinks of homosexual behavior. It is fundamentally immoral and pernicious, and puts homosexuals in the same category (according to 1 Timothy) as those who assault their parents, commit murder, are sexually promiscuous, engage in the slave trade, and lie under oath. 1 Corinthians adds adulterers, substance abusers, thieves and swindlers to the list to which homosexuals belong.The "Laws of Nature" tell us the same thing. Homosexual sex is, as Paul puts it in Romans 1:26, "contrary to nature." It is clear that Nature did not intend for the human body to be used for gay sex. Simply and plainly put, the bodily orifice designed to eliminate waste was not designed for sexual use.Because the wall lining the alimentary canal is just one cell thick, it is easily torn, thus giving bodily fluids and the infectious diseases they carry instant access to the blood stream. This is why there is such a prevalence of HIV/AIDs and all sorts of STDs in the homosexual population.And of course it cannot lead to procreation. It is a tragedy when a married heterosexual couple cannot conceive; it is, on the other hand, biologically impossible for a homosexual couple to conceive a child.This means that committed Darwinists should be even more ardently opposed to the normalization of homosexual behavior than people of faith, for the simple reason that evolution is all about the propagation of the species, which can't possibly happen when two gays have sex.So both the laws of nature and the laws of God teach us that homosexual behavior never should be normalized, under any circumstances.As far as disqualifying someone for public office, well, liberals have given us all the examples we need. Remember how they drummed Mark Foley out of office, because of explicit text messages he sent to House pages? Remember the constant drumbeat of liberal calls for Sen. Larry Craig's resignation when he was caught playing footsie with an undercover cop in a Minneapolis airport restroom? Remember the howls of outrage when Sen. David Vitter did not resign after getting busted for using a call girl service?Liberals even supported the ouster of Eliot Spitzer when Client #9 got outed for spending untold thousands of dollars on assignations with a high-priced prostitute.So when liberals complain when I say that Judge Walker and Elana Kagan are both disqualified for public service based on their aberrant sexual behavior, I say back to them, Hey, I'm just following your lead. Just taking your advice. If you think I'm wrong, I'll accept your criticism the moment you publicly apologize to Mark Foley and help him run his next campaign.Until then, I'm just going to follow your example. Thanks for showing us the way.

I made this exactly as stated, and it was good but INCREDIBLY spicy. It was very hearty - a good warm, autumn meal, and the pork was delicious and fell right apart - but almost so spicy I couldn't enjoy the other flavors. I ate with a side of cottage cheese to counteract the spice. I'm extremely curious to see what this is like without any peppers. I do enjoy mild spice, so next time I will leave the peppers out completely and use red pepper flakes instead, which will allow me to start with a little and add more to taste. The two chipotle peppers in this recipe just seem a little too overpowering! I'm also considering the addition of some fresh apple slices and brown sugar. I do think it was a fun, autumn-y concept, and I will make again, although I will try toning down the spice from super-hot to mildly-hot.
I cooked this tonight and it was a big hit with the family. Instead of the canned apple pie filling, I used three large fresh fuji apples, sliced and coated with a bit of cinnamon and raw sugar. I removed the seeds from the peppers to tone it down a bit so it wouldn't be too hot for my 2 year old, but I think I will leave them next time because it wasn't spicy at all. Even without the bit of spice I was hoping for, it still turned out delicious and I will definitely make this again.
Very good! For those who do not like food very spicy just cut open the chipotle peppers and take the seeds out with a knife. This will cut down on the heat a lot.

Fort Gibson National Cemetery has about a week before the federal government shutdown forces its employees to take furlough days.
In the meantime, however, no burials will happen on Columbus Day next Monday, said Director Bill Rhoades. The cemetery usually does burials on federal holidays after a weekend.
"We can't do it now because we can't pay the overtime," Rhoades said.
Portions of the federal government have been closing after members of Congress did not reach a budget agreement by last Tuesday's deadline.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated national cemeteries "may be on a reduced schedule," according to a shutdown field guide posted online.
Rhoades said a reduction is possible as the shutdown continues, but said the cemetery's Monday through Friday schedule remains unchanged at this point.
Schedules for the cemetery's nine employees, however, will change unless a budget is passed. Those employees will get furlough days, or mandatory unpaid days off, starting as early as next Tuesday, Rhoades said.
The National Cemetery Administration will furlough 1,063 of its 1,809 employees if the shutdown continues, according to the VA.
Another effect the shutdown has had on the Fort Gibson cemetery is that employees have to perform lawn maintenance.
"We had a contract that ended (Sept. 30)," Rhoades said.
"And we had awarded a new contract, but we can't start it until we get 2013 funds."
That private company would be responsible for the keeping the burial grounds mowed, trimmed and keeping the 38-acre cemetery intact, Rhoades said.
"We'll absorb it and do the best we can with it, but we don't have the manpower to mow and trim," he said. "The other thing is that if a mower breaks down or a part is needed, we cannot replace it."
Lawnmowers aren't considered "essential equipment" for the cemetery, but a backhoe is needed because of its use in veterans' burials, Rhoades said.
And as federal offices and programs await their fiscal budgets, Rhoades said his office will continue to do their main job.
"Our focus is on interments, and we'll continue to inter our veterans," he said.

"They don't deserve to hurt." This serves well as a motto for caring for pets throughout their lives, particularly as they
approach the end of their lives. Our obligation as veterinary healthcare providers is to advocate on behalf of beings that
cannot advocate for themselves. Dr. Lloyd E. Davis once said of pain in animals that "[o]ne of the psychological curiosities
of therapeutic decision-making is the withholding of analgesic drugs because the clinician is not absolutely certain that
the animal is experiencing pain. Yet the same individual will administer antibiotics without documenting the presence of a
bacterial infection. Pain and suffering constitute the only situation in which I believe that, if in doubt, one should go
ahead and treat."1 When a pet develops a terminal disease and is approaching death, this obligation becomes even more important.
A common misconception both within veterinary medicine and among pet owners is that when a veterinarian renders a terminal
diagnosis, all care options are exhausted. Often veterinarians advise immediate euthanasia because, as they will often state,
"There is nothing we can do." In many cases this is wrong. While there are patients that present at the practice in distress
that truly need the compassionate release of euthanasia as soon as a terminal diagnosis is rendered, these patients are in
the minority. More commonly, the veterinarian discovers a situation that may require immediate treatment or intervention to
relieve clinical signs but does not require immediate euthanasia. In the space between the diagnosis and death, the patient
needs and deserves palliative care and hospice services.
A look at the team's role
Once a pet is deemed a palliative care or hospice patient, ongoing evaluation and fine-tuning of care focuses on managing
signs rather than on curing a disease process. Palliative care embraces a wide scope of activities that can be accomplished
in the home easily. The core competency of veterinary palliative care and hospice is appropriate, comprehensive pain management.
Pet owners' biggest fear is that their pets will suffer. We can effectively prevent and relieve suffering. Clients need the
veterinary team's support as they embark on this unique journey with their beloved companions.
Team training must include these skills:
Performing a pain evaluation on both dogs and cats—and understanding differences between species
Using a pain scoring system or scale
Offering wound care
Developing communication skills to enhance technician-client interactions
Learning the delivery of medications and other home care techniques. (See the recommended resources at the end of this article.)

Swearing allegiance to the "Southern Cross"
Swearing allegiance to the flag is one of a series of
watercolours from Australian Sketches - Life on the
Goldfields, a sketch book by Canadian Charles Doudiet
recording life on the diggings, and the only known visual document
to be made by someone present at the Eureka Stockade. Doudiet wrote
of this scene that captures the meeting at Bakery Hill when the
Eureka flag was raised for the first time on 28 November 1854:
"The Oath"
Thus - in sight of the Ballarat Camp - did ten thousand men
raise the azure folds of the 'Southern Cross' and on bended knee
swore to defend it. The leader, the brave Lalor who on the
Eureka received seven balls yet lived - he stands on the stump -
There is Vern in a red shirt - on whose head a prize of £300 was
set 'dead or alive'. Black the 'Diggers Advocate' the
unfortunate Ross - basely murdered by a mounted trooper after he
had surrendered - and other leaders too besides they swore…"
And to this Doudiet has added the following footnote:
"Joyce, Penny and Fletcher with myself carried Ross to the Star
where he died of great pain about 2.00am on the 5th".

Thomas Young
For The Tribune-Democrat
When I was small, the kids used to say, "Finders keepers, losers weepers."
I don't know the origin of that statement, but it does not reflect any rule of law. It sounds like the kind of statement that might have been made by the biggest kid on the block.
The law always favors returning anything that is lost to its true owner. Identifying your own property may be a problem, but your right to it is clear.
The real problem arises when the true owner doesn't show up to claim his or her property. Who holds it in the meantime, and how long do you have to keep something you've found?
To handle these situations, the law creates two categories of property.
Property is said to be lost when it is unintentionally separated from its owner. A girl loses her earring when it falls on the sidewalk and she is unaware that it has dropped. A boy loses his waterproof watch when it comes off in the ocean.
The second category of missing things involves items which are mislaid. We intentionally put things down, then can't remember where we put them.
Such items aren't "lost," in the legal sense, they are mislaid. My favorites are car keys and glasses.
As to property that is mislaid, the law says it belongs to the owner of the premises until the real owner claims it.
Suppose a female shopper at the local department store puts her umbrella on a counter while looking at jewelry, then leaves the store without the umbrella. The umbrella is found by one of the clerks who wants to take it home until the shopper claims it.
The store manager insists that the temporary (and maybe permanent) possession of the umbrella belongs to the store, but that it should be placed in the store's lost-and-found department.
The manager is right. The law favors the owner of the premises because the shopper will probably realize she has mislaid her umbrella and will return to the store, not to the clerk's house.
Lost property presents a different problem. If you find the swimmer's watch at the beach, when does it become yours? When can you sell it or give it to another as a gift?
To resolve the problem of lost property, many states have enacted estray statutes. Pennsylvania, however, has never enacted an estray statute.
Estray statutes designate a place, usually city hall or the county courthouse, where lost items can be turned in.
The government advertises all the articles once a year, and if the true owner doesn't claim the item, it then legally belongs to the finder, even if the true owner later appears and claims the item.
Some estray statutes reward the finder financially as well, to encourage the use of the statute.

|The Fairfax Chamber's Government Contracting (GovCon) Council is the Chamber's largest and most active council. This group alone facilitates more than 20 programs annually, and is the region's best forum for engagement with Northern Virginia's robust government contracting community.
Always ahead of the curve, the GovCon Council kicked off 2012 by convening a Symposium on Innovating in the Uncertain Environment. This half-day session featured a keynote by a respected economist and breakout sessions on timely topics like the M&A Environment, Compliance Trends, Budget Priorities and more. This signature program, slated again for February 2013, featured more than 20 C-level executives on the breakout session panels and attracted 500 attendees from the government contracting sector.
Recognizing that the ties between the government contracting sector and the nation's military are close and solid, the GovCon Council embarked on a Veterans Hiring Symposium in 2012. The innovative dual-track program looked at the issue of Veteran's hiring from both sides of the coin, offering sessions for Veterans to learn more about transitioning into the private sector and for corporate professionals to delve into designing or boosting a Veteran's hiring program. This important program, which attracted nearly 50 Veterans and more than 200 from the corporate community, will take shape again in July 2013 to serve those who have served our nation so selflessly by providing them with resources for employment.
The GovCon Council also honored those who have served with the Distinguished Service Awards presented to Rear Admiral David R. Oliver, Jr., US Navy (Ret), and General John Tilelli, US Army (Ret) just days after Memorial Day. The keynote address was provided by Former National Security Advisor General James L. Jones.
Other programming areas of focus for the GovCon Council include: Mergers & Acquisitions, Cyber Security, Business Development, Proposal Writing, Teaming & Subcontracting and much more.

Closed stores create vacuum across state
Stop & Shop Supermarkets last month announced plans to close all six grocery stores and three gas stations in New Hampshire, laying off 670 employees.
"A store closure may have a lot of dynamics," said Christopher Way, interim director of the state's Division of Economic Development. "Perhaps the owners are in a long-term lease and must continue to pay on that lease. In which case, there is no incentive for a landowner to seek a new tenant."
"Who goes where is determined by companies who see the space as a place where they can go in, meet a need and be profitable," said Way.
"It's a bad situation when a large anchor tenant is no longer drawing foot traffic," said Thomas Farrelly, executive director at the commercial real estate firm of Cushman & Wakefield in Manchester.
State and local officials have already begun efforts to fill the empty plazas at several locations.
"I don't think these sites are going to be vacant for long," said Dumais. "It could be an independent store, an existing store that moves from elsewhere in the state, but there's interest in the sites."

Recent Long Bay Dunes Reviews
This condo was perfect for our family of four. It had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. I appreciated a full size washer & dryer in a large laundry room. It had everything you would need for the beach, chairs, sand toys, umbrella and boogie boards. We could have backed much lighter! The kitchen was well equipped and even had things we had forgotten, garbage bags, dish washer liquid, paper towels, sandwich bags... ect. We liked the ease of the key less entry no hassle with remembering a key & worrying about loosing it. The views are beautiful and the beach is less crowed in front of this smaller condo. Overall are family had a wonderful time and will start a new tradition at Long Bay Dunes!! Thank you Kevin!!
This condo was perfect for us. Excellent location and well described. The beach is only steps away, the pool is clean, and the whole building was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked, and the whole condo was clean and well equipped. We will definitely be back!

2009 Dominus Estate Napa Valley Red
"The 2009 Dominus saw about 40% new oak compared to the 20% for Napanook. A seamless classic, it offers a symphony of red and black currants, Asian plum sauce, lavender, and underbrush. Sweet Christmas fruitcake characteristics emerge from this magnificent Dominus that finished at 14.5% natural alcohol (slightly higher than usual). The seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol, the brilliant length and overall compelling complexity and richness make it one of the great classics from this historic estate."-Robert Parker, Jr.

2006 Dominus Estate Napa Valley Red
"Very deep garnet-purple color. A wonderfully perfumed nose of violets, crushed blackberries, black cherries, mace and cloves leading into some smoked meat and mocha aromas with swirling. Very structured on the palate with high acidity, a medium to high level of fine tannins and a full body providing plenty of flesh in the mid-palate. Very long layered finish."

Working smoke detectors are being credited for helping a Blount County family of six safely escape a fire that destroyed their mobile home this morning.
Fire crews were dispatched at 9:23 a.m. to find a fully involved fire consuming the single-wide mobile home at 610 Kian Court, according to Aaron Woods, a firefighter with the Blount County Fire Department.
Two adults and four young children inside all escaped and ran to a neighbor's to call E-911.
The father apparently tried to go back inside the burning home in an attempt to save the family's cats. He later was transported to a Blount Memorial Hospital for treatment of possible smoke inhalation, Woods said.
Blount County firefighters had gone door to door in the same mobile home park barely two weeks ago to check that each residence had a working smoke detector, including the home that caught fire this morning.
"They did have working smoke alarms in the home," said Woods. "They actually had three working smoke alarms."
The home is considered a total loss and the American Red Cross is assisting the family now.
Blount County fire investigators are working to determine the cause.
More details as they develop online and in Monday's News Sentinel.

Along with an Atlanta-based partner, Tom Glover officially started a business technology solutions and IT support company, Cogentes, in January 2007.
Since then, Glover watched the client base change toward boosting local business productivity as well as handling system management in 32 countries.
The company officially moved into new digs at Central State Hospital's Jones 286 Building as of last Friday doubling the old office square footage. The tight North Columbia Street office is gone.
With help from the Central State Hospital Local Redevelopment Authority (CSHLRA), the lease passed through the State Properties Commission in July. Cogentes is the first new tenant as part of Central State's campus redevelopment efforts.
It took a while for approval, as government doesn't move at the speed of business, according to Glover.
"[CSHLRA Executive Director] Mike Couch and the CSHLRA worked hard to get us in here," the Cogentes owner said.
Understanding where the community's future growth lies, Glover said the move was an easy decision.
"Once we started looking at the property and knew what the redevelopment authority was doing, I think this is going to be a hub of growth," he said.
After working with major business in the northeast United States having a client clear nearly $2 billion in one year, Cogentes survived the 2009 financial services slump.
Things changed soon after.
"Starting in 2010, we stepped back and reevaluated what we were doing and who we wanted to be as a company. We didn't want to deal with mega companies anymore," Glover said. "It's pretty obvious you are a number to them. The idea of having 200 small businesses opposed to having three mega customers was a big thing."
Cogentes finds money saving avenues through technology upgrades or better use of existing equipment.
"A lot of times it's helping them spend their technology money more wisely," Glover said. "We've seen customers buy off the shelf computers that are consumer grade and use them in business and wonder why every year they have to replace them. It's not hardware meant for everyday business dependability."

Upon completion of a minimum of 25-hours of mentoring, apprentice and mentor celebrate the completion of their work in a side-by-side group program exhibition in Art Access Gallery.
As a follow-up to their mentoring experience (or in concurrence with), apprentice artists are encouraged to attend our Adult Art Workshops tuition-free in order to further develop their art educations.
2013 Apprentice & Mentor Artists (respectively) include:
Phil Cannon and Jared Nielsen in printmaking
Keaton Buck and Sarinda Jones in fused glass
Lisa Jacobsen and Susan Jarvis in painting
Brett Ross and Roger Whiting in animation
Robin Eliason and Daren Young in drawing and painting
Joanne Robbins and Rob Adamson in painting
Nathan Bringhurst and Marianne Sidwell in songwriting
What 2012 participants said about their experiences:
"[Partners] really fills a void for emerging artists. It provides an impetus and the needed encouragement that is often missing in other art environments." - 2012 Mentoring Artist
"Tamara Escamilla and I took an approach to the program that made it exactly what the name implies; the program allowed us to create a true partnership where we shared styles, techniques, knowledge, and experiences as peers Through the program, we have learned a great deal from each other and developed a lasting friendship." - Veronica Perez, 2012 Mentoring Artist
"I was excited when I was asked to work with Abby Tohinaka in the Partners Artist Mentoring program, because the mission was in line with my belief that creativity is essential to one's well being. Abby seems to recognize this as well and has taken to painting many hours each day, indicating that it is therapeutic and brings her great joy." - Anne Becker, 2012 Mentoring Artist
"Jimmy taught me to think outside the box and to expand my horizons. Mostly, he taught me not to give up on my passion of being an artist. I've had a passion for art most of my life, and likely always will. With the added inspiration and tools I have gained by being in this program, my career as an artist will keep moving forward." - Robert Smuin, 2012 Apprentice Artist
"Sadie Hoagland is the most intelligent, inspiring mentor I could have hoped to work with. Strangers at first, we have made a bond through words and time, projects and creativity. I admire her strong use of language, her intriguing subject matter and, most importantly, all that she has to teach me. She's helped me grow, has nurtured my writing and helped it to evolve. Being her partner has opened many literary doors; I'm grateful for her hard work as much on her own words as on mine." - Brooks Oscarson, 2012 Apprentice Artist
