Keefer joins Wichita Festivals, which stages Riverfest, as the annual community celebration tries to reinvent itself.
Its going to be a challenge, but Im really excited about it, she said. I think Im kind of uniquely positioned. Ive got a big network of people I can reach out to for help.
Keefer, 56, has cultivated that network through years of involvement in community events. A Wichita native, she left for a decade in her 20s, then returned to marry and raise a family.
Keefer started as a volunteer for the Old Town Association and Riverfest, chairing such events as the Old Town block parties, barbecue and chili cookoffs. She managed the Farm & Art Market building before it became the Museum of World Treasures, then spent the past decade working in marketing for the Wichita Downtown Development Corp.
Shell start at Wichita Festivals on Oct. 22 as a search is under way to replace the nonprofits longtime CEO and president, Janet Wright, who is retiring at the end of the year. Wichita Festivals also runs Autumn and Art at Bradley Fair, but Keefer said reinvigorating Riverfest will be her main goal.
Anything after 41 years has got to change and evolve, she said. A lot of people want to harken back and recall the better days of the festival. Im not saying that wont work again. But its a new day, so were going to have to re-examine everything. Ultimately its got to represent the community. Thats going to be my goal getting the community engaged in helping us figure out what its going to reflect.
Keefer and her husband, Jim, a well-known bassist, have three children.
Outside of work, she said, Art is a passion art and music. I actually spend a lot of time out supporting artistic events and music events. I also tend to read a lot when I get the opportunity, and garden.

The four subcontractors who still haven't been paid for the work they did work on the Radisson Hotel may be a bit closer to getting the more than $200,000 they're owed.
A Waukesha County judge Friday approved a request from the subcontractors to put the hotel's contractor, Gil-Her Limited, into receivership.
Attorneys representing Heritage Glass, Horner Plumbing, Badger Lighting, and Ace-ICS submitted the receivership petition. The receiver will handle the day-to-day operations and finances of Gil-Her Limited, which was the contractor that hired subcontractors for the Radisson Hotel project.
The small businesses have been trying for more than a year to get paid for their work on the hotel, which opened in May 2011.
Not only could the action Circuit Judge James Keiffer make it easier for them to get their money, but it also could allow the Village of Menomonee Falls to avoid moving forward with foreclosure proceedings on the hotel.
There will likely be very few operations to handle at Gil-Her.
One partner, David Gilbert, filed for bankruptcy just a month after the Village Board approved the $17.6 million loan for the hotel. Gilbert was also one of the five members of Falls Lodging Investors, which was the ownership group of the hotel. Gil-Her is insolvent with liabilities exceeding assets by $1 million, and its sole asset is a lien against Falls Lodging Investors.
In June, the Village of Menomonee Falls filed a foreclosure suit against Falls Lodging Investors after it failed to make any repayments on its village-backed loan loan. In November 2011, the village appointed a receivership attorney, Seth Dizard, to handle all operations at the hotel.
Both Friday's receivership appointment petition from subcontractors, and the village's ongoing foreclosure suit are linked.
"It's our hope that all of the parties who have a claim against Gil-Her can reach some sort of settlement agreement, and that we can then go to the Village of Menomonee Falls," said Horner and Heritage attorney Mark Darnieder. "We needed a mechanism to get all the people who have an interest in Gil-Her and might have a possible claim against the Radisson and that property in front of the court so we can reach a resolution."
Contractors have hired receivership attorney Todd Esser to handle operations at Gil-Her.
The hope is that Gil-Her will submit claims from all its creditors to the court, and a resolution can be reached with the subcontractors. When that is accomplished, it would allow the village's attorney, Randall Crocker, to get a clean title for the hotel.
If that happens, the village and Lodging Investors could reach a settlement and avoid going through the foreclosure process.
In September, Crocker said a resolution to the Radisson foreclosure suit could be forthcoming. Crocker will continue to negotiate with parties in the suit, and they will all appear before a Waukesha County Circuit Court judge Nov. 19 for a status conference.
An agreement could be reached by then.

The Chartreuse in this Martini adds a subtle touch of herbs and a brilliant green color that brightens up the palate and makes it a nice switch from the classic Gin Martini. Green is a great color for cocktails and this is one of the few that does not rely on Midori or green apple schnapps, it's a completely different taste and one may say it's a bit more sophisticated.
You can make it dirty by adding a little olive juice if you like, or you can be a little more subtle and add the essence of olives by garnishing with three olives instead.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 3 minutes
Yield: 1 Cocktail
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- 1/2 ounce Green Chartreuse
- 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — As states open insurance marketplaces amid uncertainty about whether they're a solution for health care, Vermont is eyeing a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces a government-funded model.
The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nation's first universal health care system, a sort of modified Medicare-for-all that has long been a dream for many liberals.
The plan is especially ambitious in the current atmosphere surrounding health care in the United States. Republicans in Congress balk at the federal health overhaul years after it was signed into law. States are still negotiating their terms for implementing it. And some major employers have begun to drastically limit their offerings of employee health insurance, raising questions about the future of the industry altogether.
In such a setting, Vermont's plan looks more and more like an anomaly. It combines universal coverage with new cost controls in an effort to move away from a system in which the more procedures doctors and hospitals perform, the more they get paid, to one in which providers have a set budget to care for a set number of patients.
The result will be health care that's "a right and not a privilege," Gov. Peter Shumlin said.
Many military families turn to home schooling to ease transition
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (AP) — A growing number of military parents want to end the age-old tradition of switching schools for their kids.
They've embraced homeschooling, and are finding support on bases, which are providing resources for families and opening their doors for home schooling cooperatives and other events.
"If there's a military installation, there's very likely home-schoolers there if you look," said Nicole McGhee, 31, of Cameron, N.C., a mother of three with a husband stationed at North Carolina's Fort Bragg who runs a Facebook site on military home schooling.
At Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, the library sported special presentations for home-schoolers on Benjamin Franklin and static electricity. Fort Bragg offers daytime taekwondo classes. At Fort Belvoir, Va., there are athletic events and a parent-led chemistry lab.
At Andrews Air Force Base about 15 miles outside of Washington, more than 40 families participate on Wednesdays in a home schooling cooperative at the base's youth center. Earlier this month, teenagers in one room warmed up for a mock audition reciting sayings such as "red leather, yellow leather." Younger kids downstairs learned to sign words such as "play" and searched for "Special Agent Stan" during a math game. Military moms taught each class.
JFK's image, tested and sanctified, still shines 50 years after his assassination
BOSTON (AP) — Four days a week, David O'Donnell leads a 90-minute "Kennedy Tour" around Boston that features stops at government buildings, museums, hotels and meeting halls.
Tour-goers from throughout the United States and abroad, who may see John F. Kennedy as inspiration, martyr or Cold War hero, hear stories of his ancestors and early campaigns, the rise of the Irish in state politics, the odd fact that Kennedy was the only president outlived by his grandmother.
Yet at some point along the tour, inevitably, questions from the crowd shift from politics to gossip.
"Someone will ask, 'Did Jack Kennedy have an affair with Marilyn Monroe?' With this woman? That woman?" explains O'Donnell, who has worked for a decade in the city's visitors bureau. Those asking forgive the infidelities as reflecting another era, he says. "It's something people, in an odd way, just accept."
The Kennedy image, the "mystique" that attracts tourists and historians alike, did not begin with his presidency and is in no danger of ending 50 years after his death. Its journey has been uneven but resilient — a young and still-evolving politician whose name was sanctified by his assassination, upended by discoveries of womanizing, hidden health problems and political intrigue, and forgiven in numerous polls that place JFK among the most beloved of former presidents.
Marcia Wallace, voice of 'The Simpsons' teacher Edna Krabappel, dies
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marcia Wallace, the voice of Edna Krabappel on "The Simpsons," has died.
"Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean said in a statement Saturday that her death is a terrible loss. He says Wallace's "irreplaceable character," the fourth-grade teacher who has to deal with Bart Simpson's constant antics, would be retired from the show.
The longtime TV actress' credits ranged from playing a wise-cracking receptionist on "The Bob Newhart Show" to appearances on Candice Bergen's "Murphy Brown."
Rarity for top teams to meet in World Series in era of expanded playoffs
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The teams with the best records in each league used to meet in the World Series every year.
Now it's a rarity.
Boston and St. Louis are the first since 1999, when the New York Yankees swept Atlanta.
"You definitely have to be hot and play good baseball, maybe for a little bit longer," Boston pitcher Jake Peavy said before his Game 3 start Saturday night.
From 1903 through 1968, the top teams had to meet in the World Series. There were no playoffs.

AUBURN, Ala. After a one-game absence, Nick Marshall is back.
Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday that the junior quarterback will start Saturdays game against Texas A&M after sitting out last weeks 62-3 romp over Western Carolina with a knee injury. Despite missing the Tigers previous contest, Marshall practiced throughout the week, with Malzahn saying the signal-caller was locked in.
The coach said that carried over into Sundays practice.
He looked pretty good, Malzahn said. We didn't go crazy. We had a 12-period practice. But he looked pretty good so hopefully another day of rest and he'll be looking good today.
Marshalls sterling play during last weeks practices convinced the coaching staff there wont be any signs of dropoff this week, downplaying the quarterbacks lack of live game snaps.
We're past the midway point, Malzahn said. If it was early in the season, I'd be concerned, but not too concerned now.
Tre Mason backed up Malzahns assessment. Seeing Marshall in Sundays practice was proof enough that the game off did nothing to hinder his level of play or his mind-set.
He just wants to win out, win every game from here to the end of the season, Mason said. He's a great leader. Him taking the week off to heal up, we really needed (that). He's a great athlete. He's somebody we need going into this game to make his plays and get this W.
Marshall may make his share of highlight reel plays, but he enters Saturdays contest as the less-heralded of the starting quarterbacks. The Tigers are facing Johnny Manziel, after all. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is a remarkable talent in his own right, Mason conceded.
But the junior running back hopes people recognize Marshalls ability as well.
Nick is great on his feet. He can do some of the things Johnny can do, Mason said. He's great on his feet, if not even better. That guy is just a complete athlete.
Malzahn: Johnson will be used from game to game
Jeremy Johnsons first start was every bit as impressive in retrospect.
After breaking down film of last weeks game which saw the true freshman complete 81 percent (17-for-21) of his passes for 201 yards and four touchdowns Malzahn was pleased with what he saw, taking special care to praise Johnsons poise.
Jeremy did a good job for the first time ever being on a college field in front of a lot of people, he said. We thought he did a really good job. We had the one turnover, but he's the type that he's a very intelligent player. I think he'll have a chance to improve.
In his postgame press conference Saturday, Malzahn said Johnson wouldnt be stuck to the bench for the rest of the season now that Marshall is back to full health. Instead, Malzahn will sit down with offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and discuss how to best utilize Johnson going forward.
Just dont ask for specifics.
We don't want to give all our secrets away, but he will be used from game to game, Malzahn said. We'll try to have different packages or any way to help us be successful.
Injury updates and more
Jonathan Jones came up with a key play late in Auburns victory versus Ole Miss. The sophomore cornerback downed Steven Clarks punt at the 1-yard line with 5:16 remaining in the final period, leading to an immediate three-and-out in the Tigers' eventual 30-22 win.
That heads-up play may stand as the one highlight for Jones this season. He missed the first four games of the season after breaking a bone in his foot during the final week of fall camp. Jones also sat out last Saturday against Western Carolina.
Malzahn was unsure of his availability for the rest of 2013.
That's still a little bit up in the air, he said. We're hoping he can be back on the field quick. He's an outstanding player and when he gets out there you can really see that.
In other injury news, Malzahn said weakside linebacker Justin Garrett is still week-to-week, while defensive tackle Montravius Adams and tight end C.J. Uzomah are expected to practice Tuesday after not playing last week.
Meanwhile, Malzahn said the situation remains the same for right tackle Patrick Miller and tight end Brandon Fulse. Both missed last weeks game against Western Carolina because of what Malzahn called off the field things.
Neither was on the sideline during Saturdays victory.
Nothing's changed as of right now, Malzahn said, but we'll see how that goes.

Tuscaloosa investigators have arrested two teenagers for allegedly throw bricks from an I-59 overpass.
Jordan Isaiah Price and Shane Adam Herren, both age 16 are charged as adults with 1st degree assault.
A landscaping brick struck a van passing below the Keenes Mill overpass last night. It crashed through the windshield hitting 40 Year old Melissa Jones in the face and neck. She had to have surgery and is listed in serious condition at DCH hospital in Tuscaloosa.
Homicide Chief, Loyd Baker tells ABC 33-40 a truck was also hit but, the driver was not injured. He got out and helped Jones until paramedics arrived.
Investigators have not said what lead them to Price and Herren, but say a combination of evidence left at the seen and witnesses created "a substantial lead."
City workers say they were fired for no reason.

NPA braces for impact of cuts (From Daily Echo)

'We need to do more with less' says New Forest National Park chief
7:10am Wednesday 3rd November 2010 in News
THE organisation that runs the New Forest National Park is getting set for another round of budget cuts following last month's spending review.
The National Park Authority (NPA) comes under the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which has been told to slash its expenditure by almost 30 per cent.
NPA members are waiting to learn how much the authority will receive in the next financial year, which begins in April.
As reported in the Daily Echo, the NPA has already had its budget cut by five per cent, resulting in a grant of only £4m for the current financial year.
Speaking at a meeting of the authority the new chief executive, Alison Barnes, said staff were entering "difficult" financial territory.
She added: "We are shuddering our way towards clarity. We won't know for several weeks what our settlement will be.
"The team is working hard to identify savings and how we can do more with less. We need to keep delivering for the Forest, despite the cuts we're going to face."
Ms Barnes's statement follows her earlier warning that jobs at the NPA could be at risk as a result of the Government's spending axe.
Defra will have to make cuts of 29 per cent in real terms by 2014-2015 – the equivalent of eight per cent a year.
NPA chairman Julian Johnson has already warned of "tough choices" ahead.
Speaking after the spending review he said: "We're working up ways of dealing with the cuts – looking at our costs and how we can do things better or differently."
The latest NPA meeting was held at the Fountain Court Hotel in Hythe, one of several venues used by the organisation when it meets in public.
The organisation is planning to leave its temporary headquarters at South Efford House, near Lymington, and move into the town hall, which it will share with the district council.
In the future meetings are likely to be held in the council chamber to save the expense of hiring conference rooms in hotels.

The city of Hutchinson is cleaning up from the most snow it has seen in four decades. This week's storm dumped more than a foot of snow on the city, the most in Hutchinson since 1971.
"I don't know how much we got... way too much is all I know!" said Hutchinson resident Shirley Hawkins.
What Hutchinson got, was around 13 inches of snow. But even that wasn't enough to keep Hawkins home from work. She was out early Wednesday, while much of the snow remained untouched.
"It was really pretty, but it's scary to have to go into it," said Hawkins.
Hutchinson students, on the other hand, didn't have to go out as the storm canceled school. But some still found a reason to spend time outside.
"We're just sledding, having a little fun. It's actually really nice to be out of school. It's cold though!" said high school student Trevor Turner.
The cold also impacted businesses, as workers cleared sidewalks and parking lots for customers. At one Hutchinson car lot the job was not an easy one.
"I couldn't even drive through there, but I went and got my tractor and started plowing it out. It's pretty deep," said Sutton Motor Company Owner Ray Kauffman, after plowing his lot all day Wednesday.
Even as the storm meant different things for different residents, many agreed on one thing.
"[I'll] just be glad when summer gets here, [I'm] definitely ready," said Hawkins.
The Hutchinson Public Works Director says road crews had been working around the clock to clear the snow, but were finally going back to a more normal schedule by Thursday.

10 Super-Easy Summer Hairstyles
We love Jessica Szohr's boho take on the braid–it's cute without looking too precious. "The sweeping side braid looks carefree, adds style to any outfit and turns a bad hair day into compliments all day," says Aussie celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa. To get the look, spritz hair with Aussie Anti-Breakage Spray from roots to ends, then loosely pull hair over to one side. Separate into three sections and follow the pattern: Right over middle, left over middle. When you reach the bottom, secure with a clear elastic.
Try on Jessica Szohr's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
If you want a cool way to keep your hair off your neck, Potempa suggests a volumized updo like Anna Paquin's. To recreate, tease roots and curl with a small ¾-inch iron for texture. Separate out the top and clip it to add volume. Take pieces from the sides and back and tie into multiple knots (like tying your shoes) until you reach the end, then twist and secure with bobby pins through the middle of the hair. Take the front sections and twist into the back, bobby pinning in place.
Try on Anna Paquin's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
For a no-fuss 'do, try a half-up hairstyle like Ashley Tisdale's. "Texture really goes well with summer's bright earrings and adds life to a boring style," says Potempa. Tease roots with a large-toothed comb, spritz with a heat-protecting spray, and then curl small sections with a ¾-inch curling iron. Pull the hair on each side up and back, then secure with a small elastic. Take the top section and separate into two pieces, tie them in a knot and secure them to the base of the ponytail, leaving volume throughout.
Try on Ashley Tisdale's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
Flat-ironed hair doesn't have to be lifeless–just look at Selena Gomez's straight and sexy strands! "Smooth hair is simple to do, and adding movement makes it feel fresh," says Potempa. "Plus, sleek styles look great with summer's colorful patterns." Spritz damp hair with a heat-protecting spray, then blow dry. Run a ceramic smoothing iron with beveled edges up from the root for volume, rotating your wrist under in a c-shaped pattern. This will give hair a smooth, bouncy finish instead of a flat look.

"A headband is an easy way to dress up a casual bun," says Potempa. "There are so many options that you can go from day to night, just by swapping out your accessories!." To score a sweet style like Hailee Steinfeld, apply mousse to roots and a smoothing serum to ends, then do a quick blow dry. Pull hair into a low ponytail and secure. Twist the ponytail in one direction, then secure with pins until you've wrapped it all the way around the base. Add your headband of choice and you're all set!

"All hair types will naturally curl in the summer due to the humidity in the air," says Potempa. Don't fight it; flaunt those curls! To get Beyoncé's natural waves, do not brush your hair when you get out of the shower. Instead, spritz a volumizing spray-gel all over strands. Next, diffuse hair with your blow dryer, keeping hair still to enhance the wave patterns. To perfectly polish this look and control frizz, apply anti-frizz cream to keep hair soft, smooth and shiny.

Makeover Studio!
Yes, you can make a ponytail glamorous–just look at how chic Emma Roberts' high pony looks! To glam up your pony, flat iron out any waves in the hair, then apply a dime size amount of anti-frizz cream to roots. "Be generous with the cream, as it will combat frizz and fight humidity, leaving your pony looking sleek," says Potempa. Brush hair up into the ponytail, looking up while you secure it to keep the back smooth. Finish by wrapping a small piece of hair around the base to hide the elastic.

A hairline braid like Katharine McPhee's is an easy way to jazz up your everyday hairstyle and gives any look a boho-chic vibe. Apply a smoothing serum to ends of damp hair to make it easier to comb through and to protect against frizz all day long. Allow your hair to naturally air dry, then take a 2-inch section right near your part and separate it into two pieces. Switch the right under the left and add hair from the root as you continue to follow this pattern. Secure with two criss-crossed bobby pins.

Potempa loves a high bun like Lauren Conrad's because it's very trendy, and it can be done in under five minutes! To get the look, flip your head over and spritz hair with Aussie Spray Gloss all over to add instant shine and allow for a polished look. Secure hair in a high ponytail, then twist it to one direction and pin with large bobby pins as you wrap into a bun. Voilå! A chic updo that looks like it took tons of time to create. Only you'll know the truth!

Faux bobs like Amy Adams' are great for summer because, according to Potempa, they're a cute style that's actually easy to do. Plus, it's like getting a summer haircut, but without the commitment! To do, create a deep side-part, spritz hair with heat-protecting spray and curl with a 1-inch curling iron to add waves. With a long, soft sponge roller, wrap the hair from the ends all the way up to the base of the neck and secure with bobby pins.

You are the boss of what is or isn't done to your body. Right now is the time that you are going to have a lot of test and results thrown at you.

You did not mention the type of cancer you have or the stage. I'm assuming they already did a biopsy so they should have more information to give you.
When you meet with the surgeon ask for copies of any reports he has and make sure to get copies of all tests done.
The other ladies have given you wonderful, sage and practical advice.
The advice I'm offering you is from something I put together under a section of this website on the right side called TIPS. .
I. Find a Breast Surgeon and/or Plastic Surgeon, and/or Radiation Oncologist
A. Mastectomy (skin and/or nipple sparing mastectomies)
with possible reconstruction at the time of surgery or post operative.
There are different kinds of breast reconstruction using your own muscles, tissue and skin such as TRAM flap, DIEP flap, SIEA flap,and Latissimus dorsal with an implant. Reconstruction can also be done using implants. If that is what you are considering youmight also want to consult with a plastic surgeon prior to surgery to know your options.
B. Lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy is another option and with this option you have radiation. You might want to consult a Radiation Oncologist prior to surgery to know your options.
1. One option is known as internal radiation (also called brachytherapy) and can be done at the time of the lumpectomy or within a few weeks of the surgery. This is also known as Accelerated Partial Breast Radiation. This is done using a balloon type device that is put in the lumpectomy cavity which allows the radiation to be delivered to the site within catheters. This usually is done twice a day for 5 days. Even though radiation takes place after chemo (should you need chemo), if you wait to consult the radiation oncologist after you finish chemo, you will probably not have the option of doing brachytherapy and will only have the option of external beam radiation.
2. External Beam radiation includes IMRT — Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy and 3D-CRT — 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy.
3. The standard external beam radiation is the one that takes place every weekday for five to seven weeks. Most external beam radiation is done in the supine (face up) position. Definitely ask about having radiation possibly done in the prone (face down) position.
II. Find a Medical Oncologist
A. Chemotherapy is usually done (if needed) after surgery and prior to radiation (adjuvant), sometimes it can be done first (neo-adjuvant) to shrink the tumor. The oncologist might recommend a DNA test be done on the tissue from the tumor to see if you would benefit from chemotherapy. The name of that test is the ONCOTYPE DX test and it determines the % chance of recurrence of your specific type of breast cancer over the next 10 years. You should discuss this with your oncologist to see if this test is feasible for you and if your insurance company will pay for it.
B. Hormone Therapy is prescribed by a medical oncologist if your breast cancer is estrogen/progesterone positive or HERS2 positive
III. There are many decisions and choices that you may have to consider if you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I would strongly recommend that you discuss these options with your surgeon, plastic surgeon and radiation oncologist prior to your surgery, to help you make the right decision for you. Not all breast cancer patients are candidates for each of the above mentioned options, and not all surgeons are trained to perform these new procedures. So you need to educate yourself so you can ask your doctor questions about these procedures and their ability to perform them.
Please try to keep yourself busy while you go to the doctors and take the tests.
Stay in touch with us as often as possible as the ladies here are truly wonderful and caring!
The ladies here have wonderful advice. I am 46. I was 45 when I was diagnosed. I was very scared when I was first diagnosed. Today they have so many treatments and there are alot of survivors. Your physician should give you the names of oncologists, and they can give you your treatment options. Do you have any university or breast care/womens hospitals near you? Second opinions are also good,sometimes there is more than one treatment option.
Keep us updated on what is happening. We will be here for you. It is ok to cry. You have to feel what your feeling. THere is life after this.
Stay strong,
There is little I can add to the great suggestions you have already been given, but I can tell you that everything you are eperiencing is normal! I describe my diagnosis as being "overwhelming"! I was drowning in a surreal sea of confusion...New names, new faces, new tests, new terms...I had been blindsided by something I never pictured having to face. Yet here I was..smack-dab in the middle of the whole thing, and I hadn't the slightest idea of just how to approach it.
Best bests? First and foremost remember to breathe! Slowly in and slowly out. Keep doing so until your world begins to slow down to a bit more of a manageable pace.
Take it all one moment at a time: Each doctor visit. Each test. Each procedure. Each treatment. If you attempt to somehow put it all into some sort of order and keep it all under your control it would be like trying to eat an elephant! All must be done with little bites or you will choke!
Welcome help and support. It will assist you through some difficult times AND...if is great therapy for those who love you! They finally will be permitted to feel like they are doing something rather than merely standing by.
Feel free to come here whenever we can help in any way. We are very good listeners and have soft shoulders. Also, if you need to vent and scream, feel free! We've all done that as well!
I hate to see you crying. I'm so sorry
you have to face this. It's hard at any
time. I'm so glad you have a loving
family. Please search thru this website.
It helped me so much.
My journey start 8/11 and its not
over yet.
You will find strength you never thought
you had. Ask all the quetions you can
and write down more. Don't let your
doctors leave until you are satisfied.
You are not alone. We have all
walked in your shoes. Your moods will
be up and down. This was the
most comforting place I have been .
It's very hard for others that have
not had this happen to them to
understand how you feel.
We do AND you are not alone
Take care
"Stars shine brightest on the darkest nights".
- Susan
I am so sorry you are having to deal
with this terrible BC. You have the
surrport of a new family here.
We are all with you and will be there
when you want to complain or cry
or vent or whatever.
My journey started last Aug, 2010.
I had three surgeries, my last was
a Bi-Mastectomy on 5/4. I had Invasive
Lobular cancer on my Right breast
and afer the Mastectomy they found
3cm Ductal on my left breast. I made
the right decision. I opted for
Immediate Reconstruction so I am
dealing with expanders and had my
first fill post surgery yesterday.
I have a ways to go. I found a lot
of peace here and met a lot of new
friends. My husband and children
and Grand children are all understanding
but not like the ladies here. No one
knows what you go thru or feel like
the ladies here. We have all been
poked, proded, examined and been
mortified by all of this. Please know
you are not alone and never will you
be again. We have a bond
hugs and love
First off, I am so sorry to here of your diagnosis. It made me numb and afraid when I first heard, and I too had no family history of the disease. I had to get past my anger as well, and fight, fight, fight. Unfortunately breast cancer is so common these days, and who knows the why. I thought myself in fairly good shape, eating well, not overweight wenI was diagnosed, and my doctors called me a random case. I had invasive ductal carcinoma, stage II, had a lumpectomy, 16 weeks of chemo, 36 radiation treatments. I won't sugar coat it, it was a tough year, but I have made wonderful friends and connections thru this journey, and have learned to not sweat the small things in life so much. Stay strong, we are all fighters here and are happy to be of support! I am years out now, still have active doctor follow up appts, and am afraid sometimes, but don't let it control my life. Please keep in touch and we are all here, bonding together in our fight!!!!
I had the oncotype Dx test which is done on a piece of the tumor already removed - so you really don't have to do anything. Theey analyze 21 genes of your specific tumor to see if it would respond to chemo. Your report will gicome back with a number from 1-100. Numbers from 1-18 mean that you should not need to have chemo, and numbers from 31-100 mean that you definitely do need chemo to fight your particular type of cancer. Numbers fron 19-30 are in the intermediate range and they do not know if chemo is beneficial for women in the intermediate range. There is a clinical trial for women in the intermediate range called the TailorX (I think).
if your numbers are in the intermediate range than you need to decide with any input you get from your oncologist whether or not you want to do chemo. That decision is a difficult one to make, and there are no right or wrong decisions - you must do what you are comfortable with.
I had an oncotype # of 21 and wrestled with that decision and decided to do the chemo. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ME. If you have an intermediate # then you must make the right decision for you.
I don't think the scar from 3.5 yrs. ago caused youe present cancer. Breast cancer is very common in the "aging breast". One out of 7 women over the age of 60 will get breast cancer.
Please know that your breast cancer was caught early and is very, very treatable so try to concentrate on that.
Mine too was diagnosed in 2/10 after a rouutine mammo and now over a year later and a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation i really feel good physically and plan to stay aroung for a long time to bug the "heck" out of my grandchildren!
Stey busy and keep occupied by doing things you like so you do not remain depressed.
Please let us know how you are doing - and please start your own thread as this one is very long and some of our members might not see it.
Good luck,

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald photos
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald photos
Fort Lewis College professor Steve Stovall planned to scarf down some unusual fare Saturday night.
After finishing his eighth consecutive Durango Parks and Recreation Triathlon on a warm and sunny Saturday morning at the recreation center, the 71-year-old Stovall had one two-course meal in mind:
"It's beer and ibuprofen for dinner (Saturday night)!" this year's oldest competitor shouted in the parking lot.
Stovall, who teaches marketing in FLC's College of Business, has taken on the annual local triathlon every year since missing the first because of surgery. Along with about 80 people, Stovall pushed himself through the sprint triathlon's 500-yard swim, 13-mile road bike and five-kilometer run – a progression that "goes from worse to good" for Stovall, a self-labelled runner.
He finished Durango's in 1 hour, 34 minutes, 19 seconds.
"I'm feeling all my 71 years," Stovall said, mustache bristling with burdened breathing at the finish.
"Oh man, I feel like I'm 72 maybe."
Worth it?
"Hey, to be 71 and to be able to say you're a triathlete, hey, I'll take it."
But if it's a little-bit of can-do ego that pushes Stovall through the paces, Durango's Laura Shelton upped the ante Saturday – and she did it for her kids.
With two daughters working through long-haul rehabilitation from damaging accidents and a baby born premature by emergency delivery two years ago, the Shelton family is no stranger to tragedy.
But it's no stranger to perserverence, either, Shelton said, and watching her children labor through their personal challenges inspired her to take on one of her own: her first triathlon.
"The power of perserverence," Shelton, a former DHS swimmer and FLC alumnus, said. "I watched my kids persevere."
"I'm just doing it for my kids," she said before hopping into the recreation center pool.
Shelton, 33, finished in 1:49.25.
Just more than a half-hour earlier, it was 30-year-old Meagan Johnson who won the women's race, clocking a time of 1:11.26.
A local, this year was Johnson's first Durango Parks and Recreation Triathlon, but she said it won't be her last.
The combination of the competition and vocal, supportive community made the race fun, she said, and good training for her upcoming big event: Iroman Cozumel.
"Just the transitions (between stages) and finding your flow is super important," Johnson said.
Lauren Taylor, last year's winner, was second in 1:12.36, followed by Nicole Stone at 1:15.09.
Casey Taylor, Lauren's sister, was fourth in 1:15.33 to meet their "Taylor-sister, top-10" goal.
"I couldn't make my goal first (place) because last year was ridiculous," Lauren Taylor said before Casey cruised in. "It's just a fun goal to have."
Casey Taylor said it wasn't too hard to hit, either.
"It just goes fast because you're (shifting) from one thing to the next," Casey Taylor said.
Men's winner Rob Gram made the most of those transitions, flying barefoot into the staging area to transition from cycling to running to shave off some time.
"It sounds stupid, but a few seconds here or there sometimes makes the difference," Gram said.
On Saturday, the seconds didn't matter much for Gram, who won in 1:03.11, more than two minutes ahead of second place Graham Robinson, who finished in 1:05.22.
Paul Sanders was third in 1:10.99.
Saturday's race was the fourth triathlon of the summer for Gram, who said he likes the triathlon format because "it's not just a swimming race ... it's nice, it evens it all out" depending on which event is any given competitor's forte.
And with dozens of friends and family crowding the pool edges and fences around the course, Shelton said the community should encourage anyone to give the short triathlon a try.
"I think a lot of people are intimidated that you have to be really good at it," Shelton said.
But if they were to come and watch, "they'd realize it's just a good community workout."

Amendment 9: Homestead Property Tax Exemption for Surviving Spouse of Military Veteran or First Responder
This amendment would give full homestead property tax benefits to the surviving spouses of military veterans and first responders who are killed in the line of duty. The new rule would require that the deceased be a Florida resident as of Jan. 1 of the year they died.
Opponents, including the League of Women Voters of Florida, say the amendment would cost local governments $1.8 million over the first three years of implementation and would take funding away from education and services.
Supporters say the measure helps families of veterans or first responders who have been killed in service to the public.
For complete wording of the amendment, visit the Florida Division of Elections online.

Boy racer broke friend's knee in Carlisle car park prank
Last updated at 11:28, Saturday, 02 February 2013
A boy racer crashed into a friend while performing stunts in a car park.
Christopher Coulthard Fisher, 19, broke Cameron Todhunter's knee when he hit him with his car, a court heard.
Fisher, of Lochinbrigg, Armathwaite, had been racing around the Town Dyke Orchard car park in Carlisle City Centre, pulling hand brake turns in the early hours of the morning.
But the "foolish" stunts came to an end when he hit Mr Todhunter.
The judge, Recorder Philip Grundy, described the driving as "appalling" as he sentenced Fisher at Carlisle Crown Court. He was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment, suspended for two years, after he admitted dangerous driving.
The court heard the injury happened on August 28 last year.
Mr Todhunter had got out of a vehicle in the car park.
Fisher pulled into the car park, driving the length of it and performing hand brake turns.
Alan Lovett, prosecuting, said Mr Todhunter assumed Fisher would miss at the last minute as he drove near him, but caught his left leg.
The court heard Fisher stayed at the scene until police arrived and helped the injured man.
Defending, Mark Shepherd said Fisher was not "a particularly good or experienced driver" who had "failed to navigate the corner".
He said Fisher was remorseful.
Recorder Grundy told Fisher: "This was an appalling lack of judgement on your part and you are a foolish young man to be driving in that manner.
"You are probably better off the roads. You are too young and irresponsible to be let loose in a motor car."
Fisher was disqualified from driving for two years. He was also given a three-month 8pm until 5am curfew and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
He must pay £500 costs.

DOE provides info on cleanup budget and job cuts; says K-25 demolition to be finished ahead of schedule
UCOR (URS|CH2M Oak Ridge) has been cutting jobs in a significant way over the past couple of months, with a bit of a ramp up last week with more than 100 jobs eliminated from the cleanup workforce at the East Tennessee Technology Park.
The Department of Energy hasn't said much in connection with the subcontractor job reductions, but federal spokesman Mike Koentop responded to questions last week about the Environmental Management funding and its impact on the UCOR activities and workforce.
According to Koentop, the EM program in Oak Ridge -- as part of the Continuing Resolutiion in effect -- received about $98 million to fund decommissioning and demolition activities at ETTP for the first six months of FY 2013, which began Oct. 1.
"This level of funding will allow UCOR to complete demolition and waste disposal of the north end of the K-25 Building in January, continue demolition preparation work in the Tc-99 area of the building's East Wing, and and complete some demolition preparation work in the K-27 Building," Koentop said.
Based on the info provided by Koentop these numbers don't seem dramatically different from the FY 20212 funding levels, but the future beyond the CR is apparently part of the response.
"For some context, the fiscal year 2012 D&D budget for ETTP was $200 million and there was approximately $15 million from FY 11 available ($11 million in carryover and $4 million in Recovery Act)," he said. "UCOR worked aggressively throughout FY12, which allowed them to accelerate the completion schedule for K-25 and begin pre-demolition and characterization work in K-27."
Because of the funding levels with the CR and the uncertainties for the last half of the fiscal year, "work on K-25 and K-27 has slowed," the DOE spokesman said.
"That, along with the fact that K-25 demolition is nearly complete, has necessitated the need for UCOR to restructure its workforce. However, K-25 remains ahead of the Department's approved schedule. The approved completion schedule for the K-25 Building is December 2015, and we anticipate finishing that work before then."

Plan Your Visit to the Columbia River Gorge
The Columbia River Gorge is vast. It stretches over 80 miles and is shared by two states (Oregon and Washington), six counties and thirteen urban areas. Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood flank the Gorge to the north and south and the mighty Columbia River flows through its middle. Gorge vistas are arguably the most magnificent in the world and the area is rich in natural resources and cultural history. One visit to this area is never enough. We guarantee that what you'll experience here will keep you coming back for more.
After your visit to the Columbia River Gorge, the town of Troutdale is an excellent place to decompress before you re-enter the bustling streets of Portland, to the west. Troutdale, with 16,000 people, provides a variety of attractions, shopping, art galleries, antique shops, wine shops and excellent restaurants to please Gorge travelers. Judging by the four upscale blocks on or near the Historic Columbia River Highway that comprise the bustling downtown shopping area, the town seems to be fulfilling its role as the Gorge's starting or finishing point. The many fine shops here include the Troutdale General Store with an ice cream parlor & confectionery and all manner of seasonal gifts and knick-knacks for Valentine's Day, Christmas, Easter and other holidays. Try the breakfast in their small café and admire owner Terry Smoke's amazing collection of antiques and memorabilia displayed everywhere around the store.
Avid shoppers will also enjoy the Columbia Gorge Premium Outlet Mall, just one minute off Highway 84 that offers 45 brand name outlet stores. Foodies will celebrate Troutdale's eclectic offerings. Visit the Shaken Martini Lounge for a cocktail and Ye Olde Pub for a good breakfast or lunch. Ristorante di Pompello offers a wide and outstanding array of classic Italian (and American) food and wine at great prices. This bustling restaurant is a great place to meet the locals.
For the ultimate comfort food experience, a visit to Tad's Chicken'n Dumplins is an absolute must. Even the lodge-style setting, on a riverbank, is down home and the servers will treat you like family. Try the signature dish, stewed chicken with cannon ball sized dumplings and sides of green beans and salads. It will be better than your grandma's (seriously). With three fine museums located within 400 yards of each other, Troutdale has preserved its pioneer history dating back to the 1850s. Harlow House Museum is a beautifully restored turn-of-the-century home that belonged to the second generation of Troutdale's founding family, the Harlows. Town founder, Captain John Harlow, named Troutdale after some fishponds he built near a cliff. Then, when a railroad was built through town, he talked the rail company (now Union Pacific) into placing a depot here and it was named Troutdale. The museum displays household goods from the Harlows and other artifacts donated by residents. Next door, the Barn Museum gives an insight into early rural life with farm equipment murals, a buggy, photographs and other bits and pieces.
A quarter mile along East Columbia River Highway, The Rail Depot Museum, centered on the Union Pacific Railway's original terminal, shows the history of the railroad and features a large yellow caboose donated by Union Pacific.
For nature lovers, the Dabney State Recreation area has a swimming area, boat ramp and picnic shelters. The Lewis and Clark State Recreation area has picnic tables under shady trees, a botanical walk and fishing in the nearby Sandy River. The Bird Blind is set in a large tract of the Department of Forestry's Sandy River Delta where several dozen species of birds can be observed. For those heading east, Troutdale is the portal to the Columbia Gorge and offers some gorgeous scenic drives along the old Historic Columbia River Highway to get you in the "Gorge mood." Your first stop along this winding road, constructed in 1913, is the Portland Women's Forum State Park, with superb panoramas of the Gorge. Vista House at Crown Point, a visitor center perched on basalt cliffs 693 feet above the Columbia River, offers a spectacular 30-mile view (don't forget your camera) of the Gorge. Vista House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Be warned: if high winds are prevailing, walking can be almost impossible here. Bundle up.
Further along the Historic Highway, Bridal Veil State Park offers a 10-minute walk from a parking lot alongside the highway through forest trails to the base of some pretty waterfalls bearing the same name. Bridal Veil has its own Post Office and brides from around the world mail their invitations to it to have the cancel stamp of Bridal Veil placed on their envelopes. Other waterfalls along the Historic Highway are Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls, both magnificent. With its 620-ft. cascade, Multnomah Falls is Oregon's top natural attraction, the second highest year-round waterfall in the U.S. and the subject of many a tourist photo and postcard. Not far away, the 1925 Multnomah Falls Lodge, built of natural stone, is also worth a visit. Plenty of hikes start in this area, some to other waterfalls including Horsetail Falls, Triple Falls and Elowah Falls.
Troutdale hosts many not-to-miss events including the Farmer's and Artist's Market every Saturday year-round, SummerFest in July, a 1st Friday Artwalk, a Fall Foliage Studio Tour and a Holiday Fest and Tree Lighting in December.
Whether embarking on a Gorge trip, or returning, you'll find Troutdale an ideal spot to start or finish your trip.

Early-morning fire destroys Springfield barnStaff Report | November 13,2013Len Emery Photo
Smoke billows above a residence on Parker Hill Road in Springfield Wednesday morning.An early morning structure fire on Parker Hill Road in Springfield Wednesday morning had firefighters battling a large barn and connecting outbuildings in a blaze that called crews from as far away as Ludlow.
According to reports on the scene, the fire began in an extension of the residence and spread to the barn, which housed the fine woodworking business of David Heinz, who had moved to the home in July of 2000 and established his business.
The house is still standing, but the barn is likely a total loss, and it is probably not insured.
Fire crews from Charlestown, Rockingham, Chester, Ascutney and Proctorsville assisted in putting out the stubborn fire.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Royalton man denied charges that he pointed a gun at a woman and her... Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

We've been having a blast since leaving Portland on the AmTrak ski train Friday afternoon. We had fun socializing on the train, and after a good sleep in the sleeper car, we woke up as the train was pulling into the vintage Whitefiish station, psyched about the change of scenery and prospects of powder at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
At we were not disappointed. The northern Rockies served up a heapin' helpin' of powder. Here's the link to Whitefish Mountain Resorts daily video, in which we made a cameo.
There are and will be more pics and video on my facebook page. Tomorrow we board the train again, travelling east to the Izaac Walton Inn in Glacier National Park for a few days of cross-country skiing and mountain lodge hospitality.
Happy Trail and Turns,

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Area residents who run into state Rep. Bill Lant might congratulate him for coming in second in the race for majority whip of the Missouri House Republican caucus.
Lant said he made it to the sixth round in a seven-way race on Wednesday, and he wasn't disappointed when the job went to Rep. Sandy Crawford, of Dallas County.
"She's from Southwest Missouri too, and we agreed we'd support each other," said Lant, who represents Newton and McDonald counties.
Lant, who is from Seneca, said the job of whip "might be like trying to keep bullfrogs in a wheelbarrow," despite a veto-proof GOP majority in the House.
The whip's job is to line up Republican votes for legislation supported by the caucus. The House will have 110 Republicans in January, but that number includes some party members who have tea party interests, some who are Libertarians and those with more traditional Republican viewpoints.
Greene County, often as reliably Republican as the rest of Missouri's 7th Congressional District, went its own way in Tuesday's general election.
Voters in the district's most populous county supported the Romney-Ryan ticket, with 61.1 percent of the vote, but they shifted from other counties in the 7th District by endorsing U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat. She got 48 percent of the vote compared with 44 percent for GOP challenger Todd Akin. The county also gave a narrow victory to Gov. Jay Nixon, also a Democrat, with 49.4 percent of the vote. His Republican opponent, Dave Spence, got 47.6 percent of the vote.
Statewide, Mitt Romney got 54 percent of the vote to 44 percent for President Barack Obama. McCaskill received 55 percent to 39 percent for Akin. Nixon got 55 percent, while Spence got 43 percent.
In Jasper County, McCaskill got 39 percent of the vote while Akin got 55 percent, but McCaskill fared better than the Obama-Biden ticket, which got just 28 percent of the vote, compared with 69 percent for Romney-Ryan. Nixon got 43 percent of the vote from Jasper County voters, compared with 54 percent for Spence.
Every other county in the 7th District endorsed the Republican presidential ticket by at least 70 percent — with margins of more than 72 percent in Lawrence, Christian, McDonald, Newton, Stone and Taney counties.
In the governor's race, Spence got his widest margin from McDonald County, at 62.3 percent.
The 7th District hasn't sent a Democrat to Congress since the Kennedy administration — Charlie Brown, 1957-1961 — and voters on Tuesday followed suit by returning Springfield's Billy Long to Washington. Long got his strongest endorsement in Newton County, with 71 percent of the vote. His margin of victory was at least 64 percent in all of the counties in the district except for Greene County, where he got 57 percent.
Thankfully, voter turnout in Jasper County wasn't as dismal as it might have been, based on the numbers that show up for city and school elections in the spring. But among Missouri's 114 counties, only eight had lower voter turnouts than Jasper County's 57.8 percent on Election Day. The lowest was Sullivan County, at 52.6 percent.
Statewide, voter turnout was 65.7 percent.
In Newton County, 62.6 percent of registered voters showed up at the polls. Other figures included McDonald County, 63.1 percent; Barton County, 66 percent; Dade County, 66.2 percent; Lawrence County, 65.5 percent; and Vernon County, 63 percent.
The highest voter turnout in the state was in Camden County, with 71.5 percent

A Farmingville woman was arrested Monday morning and charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs after she drove on the wrong side of the Long Island Expressway service road with her 11-year-old nephew in the car, police said.
Police said that Karen Kregel's 2004 Honda Accord was seen traveling westbound in the eastbound lane in Medford around 11:18 a.m. The vehicle made a U-turn, causing another vehicle to swerve to avoid an accident, police said.

Cherokee County's unemployment rate took a major dive in March, while the latest sales-tax collections show an upward move.
The county's unemployment rate had been holding steady above the 5 and 6 percent marks for several months, but preliminary data from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission show it fell in March to 4.8 percent – the lowest recording for Cherokee County since August 2011's showing of 4.7 percent.
It's also the lowest March recording since 2008, when the county's unemployment rate was 3 percent. The decline is in step with many other Oklahoma counties that month.
"I think business is doing well in Tahlequah, and that was confirmed by last month's sales tax report, which showed a huge spike in sales taxes," said Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Director David Moore. "Unemployment is going to go lower as more people get hired, and as the tourism industry begins to rebound in the state."
The number of people unemployed in Cherokee County in March was lower than 5 percent only three times last year: in April, May, and August.
The county's March recording ranked 36th overall in the state – meaning 41 other counties had a lower rate – but was the lowest recording in northeast Oklahoma for the month. Out of a labor force of 24,731 people, there were approximately 1,177 who unemployed in the county, the OESC data show.
Meanwhile, the April distribution of sales tax for the city of Tahlequah, representing sales primarily from February business, show the city raked in more than $581,600, compared to $542,700 the previous month, and $518,000 during the same month in 2011.
Though Sequoyah County saw a large improvement in its overall unemployment rate in March, the county still had the highest rate in the state, at 9 percent, down from 11.6 percent in February. Adair County reported a 6.4 percent unemployment rate, down from 8.2 percent; Muskogee County reported a 6.2 percent rate, down from 8 percent; Mayes County reported a 5.9 percent rate, down from 7.7 percent; Delaware County logged a 5.2 percent, down from 7 percent; and Wagoner County had a 4.8 percent unemployment rate, an improvement from February's 6.3 percent.
