Lewisville Leader > News
Independence Elementary named first winner in cash-for-schools program
From staff reports
Published: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 5:10 PM CDT
Oct. 12 was the end of the first six-week grading period. For students, that means progress reports. For Independence Elementary, it means a $1,000 cash prize as the school was named as Vista Ridge Mall's first A+ Rewards Honor Roll school.
"We are pleased to announce that Independence Elementary in Lewisville is our first A+ Rewards winner and will receive $1,000," said Leanne Lowry, general manager of Vista Ridge Mall. "The six-weeks Honor Roll program is an addition to A+ Rewards where we award $20,000 in cash prizes over the course of a school year. This year, during each of the first five grading periods, each school that fulfills certain criteria will automatically be entered to win. Soon after each grading period ends, we will draw, at random, one school that will be awarded $1,000. Independence was our first winner."
Formerly called My School's Cool, A+ Rewards is Vista Ridge Mall's newly revamped community program that makes it easier for schools to win a portion of the total $20,000 in cash prizes. The prizes will be awarded to participating schools during the 2012-13 school year. A $1,000 prize will be awarded to a qualifying school during each of the five grading periods.
"It was a wonderful surprise to hear that Independence was Vista Ridge Mall's first A+ Rewards winner and that we will receive $1,000," said Theodora Winslow, principal of Independence Elementary School. "We will put the dollars to good use here at Independence and look forward to competing in A+ Rewards the rest of the school year."
Schools participating in A+ Rewards will compete for the highest accumulation of points during the school year to earn a share of the remaining $15,000 cash reward.
Public and private schools located in Lewisville or Coppell independent school districts are eligible to enroll in A+ Rewards. Each school participating signs a pledge committing to program participation. The pledge will promote honesty and accountability on the part of the participating schools.
Receipts from retailers at Vista Ridge Mall dated Aug. 1 to May 12 can be submitted for points. At the end of the 2012-13 school year, Vista Ridge Mall will award cash prizes totaling $15,000 to the schools with the most points per student. Total points earned by a participating school will be divided by student enrollment in order to allow all schools, regardless of their size, to compete fairly.
Applications available at
or at the shopping center.
Application forms for the 2012-13 school year are available on the Vista Ridge Mall website at
or can be picked up at the mall management office.

[Solved] Wordpress sidebar custom menu
My mind is kind of all over the place at the moment, I've added a custom menu called Navigation and placed it in the sidebar widget. How would I go about styling this custom menu??One way is to check out the outputted source code in your browser and from there figure out how to style it. You might find that WP automatically puts classes like .custom-menu to an un-ordered list when showing custom menus. I'm not saying it is exactly .custom-menu, it's something like that usually.
sidebar .custom-menu {
list-style: none;
}Thanks for the help, need abit more information though. I have a custom menu in which I inserted to my header that looks like this.<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main', 'container_class' => 'nav_main' )); ?>
Would it just be easier to do the same, add it into my sidebar.php but change the class to Navigation and style it in the way as my Main navigation?
Has anyone styles custom menus for sidebars? if so how did you do it? I would like to know for future projects. Thanks@AntonNiklasson is correct for styling it so you wouldn't need to change the name of the menu. It shouldn't effect the other. Just put that code above in sidebar.php. Although I don't see the point in having multiples of the same menu.Sorry, my mind is all over the place trying to come up with solutions. Sometimes I just need to step away to clear my head and come back fresh, then I usually figure out a solution. What I meant to say was change the menu from Main to Navigation and change the class. Would it be easier to add a dynamic sidebar? is that the same as using the custom menu? If so how would I go about inserting it and styling it? If anyone knows of any good tuts, that would be great.
Thanks for the help@johnjf Now I'm really not sure what you're overall goal is. Seems like you want to add a custom menu that is not the same as your main navigation (home, contact) to your sidebar. Is that correct?yup@johnjf Okay, then what we stated above is how you do it. Just paste the PHP code into sidebar.php (shown here). In your css file, you can style it with the outputting CSS.
Example#sidebar .nav_main
I don't think that's the best way of doing it. WP comes with a built in widget for showing custom menus, why not use that instead? Putting the PHP code in the sidebar.php like that isn't very flexible.
Create a new menu in Appearance > Menus and then add the Custom Menu widget to your sidebar and select your new menu to show.alright, lets start over now that it's a new day. How would I go abouts making a navigation in my sidebar something like this?(vertical navigation) http://media.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/go-media.jpg
example pages I would have:- Home
- Forum
- Store
- Gallery
and so on. I would do exactly as stated above? #sidebar .custom-menu?
@AntonNiklasson Ah, you're right. I don't use the sidebar so that escaped my mind.
@johnjf I'm not sure if I can explain this any other way than I already have. Do you have any knowledge of development?Yes, but like I said. My mind get's all over the place and I start cross thinking things where the right idea I have in mind gets mixed with other solutions and I start over thinking. I stepped away and took a breather and thought about it slowly and broke it down. I managed to figure out what you guys are saying.
Thanks for all the help :D

Elm High road Wisbech crash. Picture: Steve Williams.
Monday, March 11, 2013
A MAN in his 20s has been taken to hospital with "serious internal injuries" after his car crashed into a house in Wisbech.
The crash, which happened at about 9.55pm last night, involved a red Ford Focus which collided with the property on Elm High Road, and a black Ford Ka parked outside.
The Ford Focus driver has been taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn.
Two fire crews from Wisbech and one fire crew from King's Lynn attended the scene.
The road was reopened shortly before 3am this morning, but the Ford Focus remains in the garden whilst structural engineers make the house safe.
Anyone with any information about any of the crashes should call police on 101.

Senate Unveils Gun Control Proposal
By: Cody Combs
Updated: January 25, 2013
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate unveiled a new gun control measure in response to December's deadly shooting massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) proposed Thursday to ban some military style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunity clips.
She said there's been too many shooting rampages involving these types of firearms.
"The common thread in these shootings is each gunman used a semi-auto assault weapon or large capacity ammunition magazine," Feinstein said.
Feinstein authored the 1994 assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
Despite a push by the White House and Democrats for tougher gun control measures, Feinstein's full proposal is given little chance of winning congressional approval.

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 18: Protesters stage a demonstration near a Wendy's restaurant on May 18, 2013 in New York City. The demonstrators called for the fast food chain to join Florida's Fair Food Program designed to improve wages for tomato pickers in the state. Of the largest fast food corporations in the United States, Wendy's is the only one not participating in the program, according to protest organizers. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

I was a guest last night at a beautiful wedding held at Norwood Parkhttp://www.norwoodpark.co.uk/ .It was a very special night for my family and myself as the neighbours ,whose wedding it was, had gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure everyone at the wedding had a fantastic time.They were kind enough to invite all the families from the row of cottages where we live and it was a great night for meeting up with the neighbours and having a few drinks and a chat in magical surroundings.
None of us had been to Norwood Park in Southwell before (although LMM have supplied a band for a wedding there in the past.)
The wedding reception was held in the lantern lit court yard and although the weather was not great the rain held off and the heaters and the dancing kept us all warm as we settled in to watch a great nine piece band.
The day had started with bride and groom leaving the house in VW camper vans as the villagers waved them off.A surprise aerial stunt pilot left the afternoon guests stunned.Upon our arrival for the evening do we were greeted by a range of entertainment which kept the kids and grown ups involved throughout the evening.
In addition to the fantastic jazz swing band there was an old style photo booth where guests could get their photo taken and paste it into the memory album with a message.You could also take a copy home with the date and names of the wedding couple printed on it.This was a great touch and there was a queue for the photo booth throughout the night with people coming up in various combos of family and friends for serious and daft photos.
A living statue was handing out small bubble blowers to the children (and lots of bubble happy adults!)
A face painter was kept busy throughout the night doing every combination of Hello Kitty/horse/dolphin/shark/fairy tattoos …..by late evening one or two adults could be seen with face paintings wandering around the crowd.Our girls (age eight and ten) and the neighbours kids (ranging from three upwards) were constantly by this stall either waiting to have yet another tattoo or watching to see what everyone else was having.By the end of the evening every available bit of skin on the kids was painted.
Perhaps my favourite touch of the evening was the pick and mix stall where old school sweets (do you remember Wham Bars , Fizz Bangs,Flying Saucers,Bazooka Joes ,Hubba Bubba Bubblegum and Strawberry Bon Bons) were laid out like the best candy store in the world (yes kids ….its all free and you can go back as many times as you want!!)
At the end of the evening we were led to the back of the grand Norwood Park House where a fire work display finished off the night in style.
All in all it was the perfect wedding.
If you are looking for somewhere to hold a reception in the Nottinghamshire area I would heartily reccomend this wedding venue.It was pure magic.
As for the small touches put in place by the bride and groom…..they were wonderful and appreciated by all the guests at the wedding.
I will not embarrass the pair of them by mentioned them by name but I can say they are a lovely couple and their amazing wedding will be a special memory for my family for a long,long time.Thanks for inviting us.

At the most basic level it's just straightforward childish humour, and the use of vaguely-English strings in magic hex constants is hardly uncommon. But it's also specifically male childish humour. Puerile sniggering at breasts contributes to the continuing impression that software development is a boys club where girls aren't welcome. It's especially irritating in this case because Azure may depend on this constant, so changing it will break things.
So, full marks, Microsoft. You've managed to make the kernel more offensive to half the population and you've made it awkward for us to rectify it.

Hits and misses: 7-23-09
...from 'round the sphere
* What a difference a President makes! (Not!)
From the latest "right track / wrong track" numbers from Rasmussen:
"Just 31% of likely voters now believe the United States is heading in the right direction, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Down one point over the past week, it's the lowest level found on the question since mid-February.
"Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters say the country is moving down the wrong track, up a point from last week and the highest finding since the second week in February. This finding is back to the same level it held the week in January that Barack
And here's a telling number: most African-American voters (56%) still say the country is heading in the right direction...down seven points over the previous week's poll.
This is in addition to the results from the latest AP poll, showing essentially the same thing.
I'm sure all this has aboslutely nothing whatsoever to do with his spending binge and push for a health care bill he doesn't want anyone to take the time to read. Nah... Couldn't be.
* Support for Obamacare on the skids
Another Rasmussen poll shows support for the health care "reform" has gone down over the past month. Only 44% of voters are at least somewhat in favor, while 53% are at least somewhat opposed. And that 44% support is down from 46% two weeks ago, and 50% a month ago.
In the meantime, opposition has gone from 45% a month ago, to 49% two weeks ago, to 53% today.
And the strongest opinions in the debate are among those who oppose Obama's proposed reforms, (with 24% strongly in favor and 37% strongly opposed).
The problem? Despite those efforts to "hurry up", people are actually finding out what's in the bills.
Things like the fact that on page 16 of one of the bills, it specifically states that no one can buy or sell individual insurance plans after the January 1st after the bill becomes law.
Which means that if you're "happy with your current plan" (as Obama puts it), you'd dern well better keep it...becuase you won't be able to go out and buy a new one on your own.
* Coerced to perform abortions? Yep. Obamacare here we come!
Via heritage...
"The Alliance Defense Fund announced today that a lawsuit had been filed in federal court on behalf of a Catholic nurse who says her employer, Mount Sinai Hospital, forced her to assist in performing a late-term abortion in spite of her strongly held religious beliefs against abortion.
"The suit alleges the nurse had repeatedly made her faith-based objections to assisting abortions clearly known to hospital administrators from the time she was hired, even signing a written statement stating her objection. It also states the hospital had a clear written policy preventing its employees from being required to participate in abortions. Nevertheless, the lawsuit alleges the hospital insisted that the nurse participate in the procedure just minutes before the scheduled "22-week age of gestation abortion," and that staff shouted at her and threatened her with disciplinary action if she didn't comply."
It gets better. For years there have been provisions in federal law to protect those who work at hospitals, etc. that receive federal funds from forcing anyone to particpate in abortions if it violates there conscious. And those regulations were most recently better enforced by the "conscious clause" protections issued by the Bush administration...which Barack Obama's administration is now throwing out the window.
In other words, this story should give a little bit of insight into what life will be like for medical workers under Obamacare.
TAKE ACTION: Click here and contact your members of Congress and say NO to Obamacare!

Prepress Checklist
By: Rick Yaeger
In my experiences working in advertising agencies, design firms and production houses, I have found that taking the time to double check jobs against a list of standards quite valuable in preventing costly reprints.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, although to those who do not employ such a system, it might seem so…
- check spelling: Most, if not all, page layout programs have spell checking abilities. Make sure you use them to check your jobs. It's also a good idea to keep your programs dictionary current by "teaching" it to recognize words unique to the jobs you work on.
- check revisions: The whole point of the client checking proofs is to catch and correct errors before film is run. Make sure you carefully go over these proofs and have another person double check to be sure of accuracy. It's a great idea to use a highlighter to… well… highlight where proofs have been marked up with corrections. Any steps that can be taken to make things more clear are always beneficial.
- proof read: The client is supposed to read and proof everything but still spelling mistakes and errors squeak through. Don't be so focused on the client's corrections that you miss other errors that they might have missed.
- check size/proportion against docket and job request form: There are few things worse or more embarrassing than bringing a job to completion only to find that it is an inch wider than intended. Check the specifications, assume nothing.
- update document tags: Many production houses and film shops have adopted a system of tagging jobs with information that is updated throughout the jobs life until completion. If you are working in such a shop be sure to pay careful attention to updating this information. Some of the information that may appear in such a tag might include:
- docket number and version number
- current date
- proofed by…
- color bars
- line screen
- font list
- indication of the use of FPO images
- trapping: This is an art unto itself. Many production houses leave this worry to the film shop to deal with. Trapping is the precaution taken to insure that minor misregistrations of color on the press do not entirely compromise the quality of the printed piece. If you happen to work at a shop where you are expected to check the trapping, I suggest you take every necessary step to be sure that there are no trapping issues with your job. Printing laser separations before sending a job out to the film shop is often a good method of checking for trapping errors.
- bleed: If your current production project prints right to the edge of the page, make sure that there is a suitable amount of image overlapping the edge of the page. Check with the printer of the job to determine the correct bleed width (usually 1/8").
- spot colors represented in color bars: This is simple common sense. If you are printing a two color job, make sure you include a color tag representing each color outside the jobs bleed area.
- custom colors in process jobs set to process separation: Often when a color is chosen in Quark XPress it comes out of the PANTONE color matching system and is then added to XPress's colors palette and forgotten. Most likely XPress sees this color as a spot color. This is fine if the job you are working on is using spot colors, but if it is separating into cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks, then your new spot color has made your four color job into a five color job. Make sure you specify Process Separation for custom colors in CMYK jobs.
- custom colors in process jobs with inconsistent CMYK break downs: Occasionally, different programs have slightly different ideas of the CMYK equivalents for certain PANTONE colors. This is something you should confirm and rectify if you are bringing art from Illustrator, Freehand or Photoshop into a page layout program like Quark XPress. It is almost always easier to allow the imported graphics to introduce the new colors to XPress' color palette … even then, you should make sure that all the different files you are importing see the colors the same way or they will not look the same on the press!
- flag FPO images, odd scaling, art director's poetic license or any items that should be dealt with before the job is output: Here's a great idea for large production houses that takes advantage of Quark XPress's library feature. Make a library of warning symbols (select supress printout on them before adding them to the library). These tags would warn anyone opening the job that:
- a certain photo has be scanned for position only (FPO!)
- a corporate logo has been scaled at a different percentage in the X coordinate than in the Y.
- an art director has gone against the client's wishes and altered the file
- a low resolution image has been placed to speed printing but the high resolution version should be replaced before sending the job out.
These kind of notes can protect you from finger pointing and ax wielding when jobs go sideways and are utilized by some of the bigger production facilities in Vancouver (most notably Artefact and Detroit).
- investigate job flags: Okay, once you've made the wise decision of tagging anomalous items in your documents, you must follow through by investigating them when they are found. If you are asked to collect a job for output and then discover that it is riddled with FPO! flags, it's time to talk to your production manager and formulate a strategy.
- use the right tool for the right job: In the last few years, the lines that defined what made a layout application, a vector illustration application and an image editor have been smudged. You can now apply Adobe Photoshop plug-ins to images placed in Adobe Illustrator, you can create clipping paths in Quark XPress and you can manipulate vector images in Adobe InDesign. Heck, if you want to, you can drill a hole in the wall with a ball-point pen! Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Use layout programs for layout and leave image editing to image editing applications. Quark XPress just isn't as good at clipping paths as Adobe Photoshop … nor should it be expected to be!
- quotes (" "), apostrophes (' '), inch marks (") and foot marks ('): Each of these marks of punctuation has a specific use. Be sure to go over your work with a fine toothed comb to make sure that you aren't inching quotes or quoting inches. (Please note that the internet is somewhat vague on the difference between these marks due to issues of compatibility between systems).
- widows, orphans and hyphenation: Never leave a man behind! The definitions of terms "widow" and "orphan" have been debated over and over again but the concern remains the same regardless of nomenclature. Avoid the following:
- leaving too few lines of the beginning of a paragraph at the end of a column
- leaving too few lines at the end of a paragraph at the top of a column
- leaving too few lines of the beginning of a paragraph at the end of a page
- leaving too few lines at the end of a paragraph at the beginning of a page
- leaving too few words at the end of a paragraph
- hyphenating a word staring at the end of one column or page and ending at the top of another column or page
- hyphenating too many words in a row down the edge of a column of text
- superfluous spaces: In the age of typewriters and other monospace devices, a period was not enough to clearly end a thought in type on a printed page. Every typing student was taught that a period must always be followed by two spaces (a semicolon was treated similarly). Though this is no longer a concern with Postscript fonts and computer typesetting, the tradition has snuck its way into misuse in the print production industry. Do a "Find and Replace" for all double hits of the space bar and replace them with on single solitary space. Tell the client that the space you saved enabled you to enlarge his logo!
- kerning: Another art within an art. Most page layout programs enable you to finesse the tracking and kerning of your type so that the spacing may look consistent and pleasant. Take a typography course, it will open your eyes.
Image Usage
- white backgrounds on images: If aren't careful, Photoshop images in your Quark XPress jobs might get printed with unsightly jagged edges. This is often caused by placing a grayscale or color TIFF into an image box with no background. (If you have never witnessed this, you need only comb through the back of any MacWorld magazine where they present the greatest number of low-budget ads … or just a look at the image below!) Though you may want the background to show through, this is not the way to go about it. Only bitmapped TIFF's and EPS's (preferably EPS's with clipping paths) can get away with having their backgrounds set to "None."
- artwork resolution, rotation and scaling: Though image setter rips are getting so sophisticated now that it hardly matters anymore, for the sake of file size, beware of images scaled too much or rotated in page layout program. It is best to take the scaling and rotating information from Quark XPress and apply that to the actual Photoshop image. Images scaled down more than 60% are simply occupying too much hard drive space. Also be sure that you haven't scaled any images up so much that their effective resolutions are below twice the printing resolution.
File Management
- image naming convention: Always conform to the agreed naming conventions when saving files. This will aid in identifying the correct files when collecting for output or retrieving from archive.
- elements in their assigned folders: As with naming conventions, adhere to any procedures for keeping all images, fonts, logos, graphics, etc. in organized folders.
- copy jobs back to the server: If you happen to be working on a system with a central file server, make sure that you copy your files back to the server before moving on. This will make them available to the file backup system and ensure that you work is not lost in the event of crash or corruption.
- trash jobs off your hard drive: Once again, for those using a central file server, make sure that once you have copied your files to the server that you remove them from your drive. This will prevent any kind of confusion caused by having multiple copies of the same job. Keep the most current version on the server and dispose of all copies. Possible exceptions include:
- situations where the stability of the file server is in question. In this case, keep a separate folder on you drive to hold your work as a personal backup.
- situations where the stability of the art director or designer is in question. It is best in this case to employ a naming convention that uses version numbers to preserve a project in its various incarnations just in case the designer's mind changes.
Removable Media Usage
- remember to sign out the disks you use: Many studios require that any jobs going out on company owned removable media must be signed out. If this is the case in your working environment, remember to comply.

The church has about two dozen relics, one of which belonged to Ste. Genevieve and was placed around the neck of her statue inside the church, said Schmidt. The relic of the patron saint of Paris is now in a secure location.
The relics have been part of the Ste. Genevieve parish since the 1930s and 1940s, when the pastor at that time brought them back from several trips he made to Rome and elsewhere in Europe.
"Some people are really upset ... (asking) why somebody would do this," Schmidt said of the theft.
Searches of area pawnshops have yielded none of the relics, Poole said. "We are hoping we can get help from the community, by word of mouth or at the church or (someone who) saw something."
Because of its history and decor, the church is popular with tourists visiting the largely Catholic town, an hour south of St. Louis. The parish was founded by Jesuits who came from Quebec.
Community leaders tout Historic Ste. Genevieve's heritage, charm and historic homes, some of which were built with distinctive vertical log construction. German immigrants who followed the French founders built rock and brick homes popular with visitors.
The town of about 4,400 is on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
Schmidt said the church, which serves about 1,100 families, will build a database to get a better handle on records and paperwork surrounding the relics. Leaders also are considering ways to secure the relics by placing them under glass attached to walls.
For now, he and others are praying for the return of the historic and spiritual items.
While Ste. Genevieve Catholic Church has insurance, the theft of the relics is no ordinary matter.

"I don't see many bands like this. And I get to be a part of it." — Kaori Tsuchida
ISSUE: Spring 2011
DEPT: Personalities
STORY: Jimmy Lee
The razor-sharp rhythms — which are undeniable invitations to shake your ass — are just part of the evidence that The Go! Team has impeccable timing. Just when it felt like the band from Brighton, England, had fallen off the pop music radar, they reappear with a new, better-than-ever album. Released in February, their third and latest, Rolling Blackouts, continues to bring the joyful noise — a meticulous mélange of styles, from indie pop and noise to game show themes and hip-hop — found on its predecessor, 2007's Proof Of Youth, which followed the sample-heavy Thunder, Lightning, Strike of 2004.

Video Processing and Exploitation Framework (VPEF) allows algorithm developers to run, test, and profile performance of algorithms, tools, applications and other new advances in full motion video (FMV) exploitation in preparation for deployment. The VPEF framework relies on a versatile, extensible plug-in architecture that allows government, academia, and industry partners to focus on the functionality, processing, and exploitation algorithms they are developing without having to focus on the infrastructure and standards needed to run and test their work.
VPEF's pluggable components can be combined into pipelines that support any number of development scenarios. The pipeline directs the functional execution, directing the flow of data. Within the VPEF framework's pipeline concept are components that can run natively to receive, decode, and display FMV streams under multiple operating systems, freeing the developer from writing code for common functions. The pipeline design is made to have little overhead above what the applied plug-ins induce. Pipelines can also be edited with a GUI editor and saved as XML so that pipeline libraries can be made with a minimum of effort.

DOBSON — Local legendary basketball and baseball player and retired coach of 70 years, Richard C. Hauser seized the opportunity Saturday, once again, to play his game "his way" to a captivated audience during his induction into the Surry County Sports Hall of Fame.
Mr. Hauser, also known as "Buzz," started as outfielder and catcher for the Westfield Wildcats from 1953-1956. He also started as guard for the Wildcat basketball team and averaged 16 points per game during his junior year and true to form brought an increase of 10 more points to the total, averaging 26 points during his senior year.
In 1955, Hauser averaged 16 points per game as a Wildcat. In 1956, he averaged 26 points per game and set the Surry County scoring record against Flat Rock scoring 53 points, making him first place in the county and fifth in the state of North Carolina. He holds the North Carolina record as 11th highest scorer.
In free throw shooting, Hauser holds the record for Surry County and he is 29/38 in free throws attempted and free throws made. He set the Surry County tournament record with a game average of 39.5.
He played baseball at Wake Forest in 1957 and defeated members of the Big Four at least once, he emphasized.
A major highlight of his entire career was in baseball and a 4-3 win over UNC and future All-ACC Pitcher, Wayne Young.
He also played semi-pro baseball in the 1950-70s competing in segregated leagues and later "together as a team," he recalled. He talked about he and his teammates eating together in the car, rather than be separated as teammates at a segregated restaurant.
In his retirement, Hauser further emphasized his continued dedication to women's sports and also Little League. He spoke of a time when support for young women's sports waned as enthusiasm for men's sports escalated. Some male coaches did not waver during this time and would find a way for women to practice somewhere, he said.
He spoke of the importance of Title Nine and how its mandate in the 1960s was important in enforcing that women be allowed to participate in sports.
"I have a love for the game, but a bigger love for the players and making sure they have the things they need," he reminded the awards audience.
He stressed the overwhelming influence of coaches in his life.
He credited Wildcat coach, Ed Dennehy, a "Connecticut" military man, whom he called a disciplinarian, with making him the ballplayer that he became. Dennehy, he said, coronated the Westfield team with the name "scrubs," for which they became known.
A pivotal moment in Hauser's young ball career came when Dennehy pulled him out of a basketball game.
He "chewed me out" because I passed the ball instead of shot it. "I never forgot that lesson." He was teaching trust saying, "basically, I trust you and you should trust yourself," he recalled.
Coach Warren Wallace then came into his life after Dennehy left to coach at Dobson and later becoming Wildcat rivals.
Wallace was openly caring and would make sure anyone had food to eat and could play sports, a trait Hauser would later possess and ultimately remind listeners that caring for the athletes was the first priority.
In the end, Hauser was tough to pin down on acknowledging his own individual accomplishments as the successful athletic player for which he was being nominated.
Instead, Hauser wanted to emphasize the importance of teamwork and the influence necessary as player and coach to succeed.
"Everyone can achieve at a certain level as long as they have some form of discipline. I am a believer in being a doer and fundamentals," Hauser pointed out.
He thought it wise, he said, for others to be able to adapt in sports, both as player and coach. He recommended not leaving out others.
He emphasized how the "so-called" least important player, on any given day, can turn out to be your very best at crunch time. He noted how the small things add up, sometimes, when everyone else is paying attention to the "big thing."
Hauser's coaching career spanned a course from 1961 until 2006. His teaching spanned a career of 44 years and his coaching 70. His teaching and coaching career began at Reynold High School in Critz, Va., and he coached the Westfield Dodgers in the Surry County Babe Ruth Baseball League. Hauser finished with an overall record of 160-31 for the Westfield Dodgers.

Classy...Kanonkop's excellent Bordeaux blend
"Black fruits, blackcurrants and plums waft from the glass with smoky and toasy oak aromas intermingled with earty and tobacco notes. Very warm fruit flavours, the black fruit meets some red berries in the palate with an array of spice and smoked meat flavours and a hint of minerality."
A distinctive and unique offering from South Africa
"This distinctive South African blend differs only from that found in Bordeaux by the addition of the Pinotage grape, 44% of which contributes to the final wine. Whilst the classic Bordeaux nose of Cassis and plum are apparent, the Pinotage adds a silky mouthfeel and some rich yet smooth red cherry notes. This is given backbone and structure on the palate from 14 months ageing in French oak barriques."

Signing Day: Ole Miss muscles in on power programs
NEW YORK (AP) --- Alabama. Ohio State. Michigan. Florida. Notre Dame. Mississippi?
Ole Miss muscled in on the powerhouses that usually dominate national signing day, landing some of the most sought-after prospects in the country on college football's annual first-Wednesday-in-February frenzy.
The Rebels, coming off a promising 7-6 season in their first season under coach Hugh Freeze, had the experts swooning by signing three of the bluest chips still on the board and building a well-rounded class otherwise.
"I do think (this class) has the possibility of being a program changer," Freeze said. "But it's all on paper right now.
The day started with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche from Loganville, Ga., rated the No. 1 recruit in the country by just about everyone who ranks them, deciding to join his brother, Denzel, in Oxford, Miss.
"I feel like it's the right place for me," Nkemdiche said after slipping on a red Ole Miss cap. "I feel like they can do special things and they're on the rise. I feel like going to play with my brother, we can do something special."
Nkemdiche originally committed to Clemson last year, then backed off that and narrowed his picks down to LSU, Florida and Mississippi — and the Rebels beat the big boys.
They weren't done. Coaches in the Ole Miss war room were exchanging hugs and high-fives again a couple hours later when Laremy Tunsil, a top-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla., picked the Rebels over Florida State and Georgia.
"Tunsil to Ole Miss I think was the biggest surprise of the whole (recruiting season)," said JC Shurburtt, national recruiting director for 247Sports.com.
And, as if the Ole Miss needed more good news, highly touted defensive back Antonio Conner from nearby Batesville, Miss., chose the Rebels over national champion Alabama. Continued...
Ole Miss also landed Laquon Treadwell from Crete, Ill., one of the best receiver prospects in the country. He made a verbal commitment to the Rebels back in December, and sealed the deal Wednesday, the first day high school players can sign binding letters of intent.
The end result was a class good enough to even catch the attention of LeBron James.
"Ole Miss ain't messing around today! Big time recruits coming in. SEC is crazy," the NBA MVP posted on his Twitter account.
Crazy good. While the Rebels racked up, it's important to remember they still have plenty of ground to gain on the rest of their conference.
Nick Saban reloaded the Crimson Tide with a class that Rivals.com ranked No. 1 in the country.
SEC powers Florida, LSU and Georgia pulled in typically impressive classes. SEC newcomer Texas A&M cracked the top 10 of several rankings. Even Vanderbilt, coming off a nine-win season, broke into the top 25.
It's the cycle of life in the SEC, which has won seven straight BCS championships. Stock up on signing day and scoop up those crystal footballs at season's end.
Signing day didn't do much to soothe the scars left from a difficult season for Southern California.
NCAA sanctions limited the number of scholarships coach Lane Kiffin and the Trojans could hand out this year, and then as signing day approached USC had several players who had given verbal commitments change their minds. Continued...
The most notable defection on signing day was five-star defensive back Jalen Ramsey of Brentwood, Tenn., who flipped to Florida State. Defensive end Jason Hatcher from Louisville, Ky., bailed on USC and signed with Kentucky, and defensive end Torrodney Prevot from Houston not only reneged on his USC commitment, but he landed at Pac-12-rival Oregon.
"People expected (Prevot) to flip from USC, but they thought it would be to Texas A&M," Shurburtt said.
USC's class won't be lacking blue chippers. Quarterback Max Browne from Washington is considered the next in a long line of topflight Trojans quarterbacks, and Kenny Bigelow from Maryland is rated among the best defensive linemen in the nation.
Kiffin will be banking on quality to make up for the lack of quantity, but that's a precarious way to play a game as uncertain as recruiting.
Alex Collins, a top running back prospect out of Plantation, Fla., announced on Monday night that he was going to Arkansas instead of Miami.
It was considered a huge victory for new Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema.
But on Wednesday morning, when it was time to make it official, Collins' letter of intent didn't come spinning through the fax machine in Fayetteville, Ark.
There were some odd reports about Collins' mother not being happy with her son's decision to go so far from home.
College coaches aren't allowed to talk about specific players before they sign, but Bielema did acknowledge during his signing day news conference that Arkansas' class of 22 players could "grow by one." Continued...
Ohio State and Michigan received two thumbs up from experts on their signing day classes. They all had the Buckeyes and Wolverines around top five in the country.
After that, there was a drop off. Nebraska received solid grades and Penn State, despite NCAA sanctions that limited its class to 17 signees, held up pretty well.
"That's a tribute to the job (Penn State coach) Bill O'Brien and the staff did," Shurburtt said.
But signing day 2013 signaled that Urban Meyer's Buckeyes and Brady Hoke's Wolverines are primed to pull away from most of the Big Ten, and maybe — just maybe — give the league a team or two that can challenge those SEC teams for a national title.
Notre Dame followed up its best season in more than two decades with a recruiting class that coach Brian Kelly hopes can keep the Fighting Irish contending for more national titles.
The class includes a famous name in Torii Hunter Jr., the son of the All-Star outfielder. Hunter Jr. is a top-notch receiver prospect, though he broke his leg during an All-Star game and it could be a while before he's back on the football field.
Linebacker Jaylon Smith from Fort Wayne, Ind., is generally regarded as the jewel of a class that experts have ranked among the best in the country.
"I love agreeing with experts," Kelly said.
Oklahoma hopes it has found the next Sam Bradford in Cody Thomas, a pocket passer from Colleyville, Texas.
One small problem. Thomas is also a big-time baseball player who could draw interest in the major league draft this summer.
"We wouldn't have pursued him if we didn't feel there was a great chance he'd be playing football," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said recruiting classes "don't always pan out. Of course, they always seem to pan out at Alabama."
