Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2012 vintage was one of those rare years where both quality and yield were exceptional, probably the best overall since 2005. The growing season was ideal with slightly below average rainfall, moderate canopy growth and very little mildew or botrytis. Due to excellent spring weather, fruit set was ideal. Yields were about 20% above average and the resulting wines are elegant and balanced.
Winemaker Notes
Produced from 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, and 4% Merlot
Product Reviews
(Apr 17, 2014 at 3:14 PM)
This is not a bold heavy Cab. Although the tannins are soft and subtle, there is still layers of complex dark fruit flavors. Would be excellent with an herb stuffed leg of lamb for Easter dinner.

About the AuthorJANET Moore-Coll
jmoorecoll North Garden, Virginia
I've been a photographer since I got my first camera (a Polaroid "Swinger") for my 10th birthday. Moved up to an Instamatic and then learned to use a 35mm SLR--my dad's vintage Zeiss Ikon Contaflex--in high school. I still treasure my final 35mm Nikon F2 and just got my first digital SLR this winter (Nikon D700); I also shoot with a Canon G9, and recently replaced my battered Rolleicord with a Mamiya C330. I make a lot of Holga images and am a new iPhone user who has fallen in love with Instagrams. In short: everything and anything. Oh--and I teach photography full time at an independent school, where I also serve as junior class dean and sponsor the yearbook. Favorite subjects include my family, the landscape, road trips, and theater productions.

The Recovery Warehouse has helped supply numerous flooded homeowners with material to rebuild homes.
Carol Ness is one of them.
She estimates the warehouse saved her upwards of 30 thousand dollars in material costs in the process of rebuilding her home in southeast Minot.
Perry Olson talked with her today...just a few months after she was able to move back to her new home.
(Carol Ness - Minot) "It is wonderful...it is beautiful.
This is Carol Ness home -- it is brand new, rebuilt from the flood, thanks in large part to the work of the Recovery Warehouse. Where she sits now is a far cry from two years ago...at that point -- her future was a mystery.
(Carol Ness - Minot) "I wasn't eligible for the different loans and such so how I was going to build a home I had no idea how. I was determined, but I would probably be still in the FEMA trailer.
But the FEMA unit is gone now -- moved off the lot this past September 11th -- her new, larger home is complete thanks to material from the warehouse, and labor from many groups -- especially the Mennonites.
(Carol Ness - Minot) "Were it not for the Recovery Warehouse or the Mennonites and their volunteers I wouldn't have a home, period. I don't know how I would have been able to afford it, much less construct a home."
The warehouse supplied the materials needed -- lumber, subflooring, nails, screws, drywall, house wrap, insulation... Pair that with the labor involved to build this up...and she had a home coming together.
(Carol Ness - Minot) "Nov. 26th of last year...I had gone to work and I came home and I had exterior walls. The next day I had a roof...I had shingles.
That trend slowly continued...and this September she was home -- facing new questions...
(Carol Ness - Minot) "Where am I going to put things? How long is it going to take to adjust? But like I said, it has been two months and this feels like home now.
Thanks in large part to a large effort at Recovery Warehouse. In Minot, Perry Olson, KX News.
Carol was mortgage free before the flood on her home...and thanks to the help of so many, she remains mortgage free today -- even after her new home has been constructed.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

PERRYSBURG, OH (Toledo News Now) - New details have emerged in the case against a Perrysburg mother who was accused of stealing thousands of dollars from several volunteer organizations.
The Wood County prosecutor says Kiki Lorann now faces even more felony charges. Lorann was indicted on three counts of theft for stealing a total of nearly $15,000 from three different baseball organizations.
Lorann pleaded not guilty to one count of theft and two counts of grand theft back in June.
Lorann handled finances for several volunteer organizations in Perrysburg Schools. When other members reviewed their accounts, they realized the numbers did not make sense.
She is due back in court Oct. 30.

Getting by without Hagelin
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past week, you know that Carl Hagelin was suspended (questionably) for 3 games for elbowing Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson in the head during game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series. Due to this turn of events, the Rangers have lost a key cog in their top line, and one of their biggest speed/forechecking threats.
Chris Kreider was inserted into the lineup in Hagelin's place for game 3 and acquitted himself well for a pro debut in the middle of a playoff series. By the third period, however, Torts felt that Kreider wasn't ready to be that guy for the top line and inserted Derek Stepan. The question remains going into Game 4 on Wednesday, who is the right guy to take Hagelin's spot on the top unit?
Let's take a look at some possibilities…
- Ryan Callahan- Captain Cally does just about everything for the Rangers, so why not install him on the top line? He could be a huge boon to the forecheck and allow for Richards and Gabby a little more room to operate down low. He also has an unfailing nose for the net, and if those two can generate shots on goal, Cally is a good bet to bang in some rebounds.
- Brandon Dubinsky- Last season's leading scorer, Dubi would seem to possess the skill set to complement the top line nicely. He has a decent set of hands and can bring some jam to a finesse unit. However, he has had trouble finding the back of the net this season, and has often looked lost between passing and shooting. But, who knows, maybe playing with talent like Gaborik and Richards is just the thing to light the fire under Dubi's offensive game. Read more »

A little explanation for those who find this perplexing....Rion was accepted into a special program called Clemson LIFE. This is an amazing two year program for a small number (15) of young adults with special needs. This isn't a program in which one can earn a degree. Right now, Clemson is one of five universities in SC with a LIFE program. I love that kids like Rion get to experience college life and this type of independence. Proud of my alma mater!"

GASSAWAY, W.Va. (AP) -- The head of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources is set to present a check to the Mountaineer Food Bank as part of the Hunters Helping the Hungry program.
Director Frank Jezioro is scheduled to present the check on Wednesday afternoon in Gassaway for funds raised during the Sixth Annual Governor's One Shot Whitetail Hunt.
The event was held in late October at Stonewall Resort State Park near Roanoke in Lewis County. It began in 2007 when then-Gov. Joe Manchin and other state governors participated in a similar event in Wyoming. Manchin decided to bring that experience to West Virginia.
The money raised helps to offset processing and distribution costs of deer donated through the program that distributes the deer meat to food pantries, churches and other groups.

This was my firs trip to a Whole Foods outlet period and lets just say I was impressed! The beer was toward the middle/back part of the store. They had one of the best beer selections I have ever seen outside of an actual liquor/beer store. This particular location of Whole Foods even had some beers that were not findable in the big beer stores of portland such as Belmont Station.
When I arrived at the beer "area" I was a man on a mission. One of the nice ladies that worked there knew her beer and knew exactly what I was looking for. I was not expecting this, but it was awesome. Whole Foods separates their beer by styles which is very pleasant. What even more surprised me was how they had several previous years vintages of certain beers available. I was particularly looking for Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout '10, while they didn't have it yet, they had the '09 vintage which was just as/if not more pleasing. Price was moderate, comparable to most of the local beer shops around town.
Excellent place, will be returning.

The Whole Foods in Fremont flows pretty much like any other Whole Foods for beer (and wine). You'll find assorted displays stacked in select locations throughout the store, but most of the beer is in the greater beer and wine area. (Note: Sometimes they don't overlap, so take a gander as you check out the cheese and bread and what-not). They offer a very good selection of the locals (Alameda, Laurelwood, etc.) and some stuff from those a little further off (Full Sail, and even Deschutes). You won't find much in the way of special beers unless you happen across a special release as it goes to market, but on that note, the beer does move quick and everything should be very fresh. They're not trying to store up rare gems, but rather to just offer you a very good selection of daily regulars. That said, the prices are good, and I found a few items for about .50 less per bomber than at other stores. As for service, well it's Whole Foods, so unless you run into one of the people handling that section you're pretty much on your own; but as BA's we rarely need help or have any questions anyway, right?

I used to shop this location when it was a Wild Oats, prior to a buyout by Whole Foods. Back then, the beer department was an awkward L-shape with a good range of styles and local representation aplenty...but it struggled to keep up with the Concordia New Seasons a couple miles away.
Fast forward a couple years and one terrific makeover later and this Whole Foods really shines now as one of the better grocery 'beer stores' in town. A streamlined and elongated cooler showcases easily 400 bottles and cans, arranged (I love this) by STYLE, rather than name, point of origin etc. A few dozen others are displayed outside the cooler on endcap shelves, 'bottle-conditioned' favorites from Belgium and all over the US and barrel-aged goodies galore. I've found some really interesting imports and even some NW/West Coast things I'd seen briefly (or not at all) languishing for weeks after supplies around town were depleted (Midnight Sun and Russian River are two that come to mind). I also like the permanent endcap featuring Deschutes' reserve beers and the collection of glassware and beer-related books they sell.
Service is usually not present, which isn't to say it isn't around if help is needed; I've occasionally run into a very friendly stocker, even a department manager a time or two. Prices compete with any bottle shop.
Worth a visit.

One of three Whole Foods I visited in Portland. As stated in other reviews: it's not that we don't have WFs here in PA, but I figured I'd see what I could find in the NW shops. Again, as I mentioned in other reviews, it seems that price tags on beer here are about on par or even higher than the more strictly beer-centric shops such as Belmont or even Beaumont, which is unusual since the PA Whole Foods price tags are typically a bit on the cheaper side. Still reasonable overall.
Atmosphere: yep, it's a supermarket. Of the three locations I visited--the others being Hollywood and Pearl--this one ranks about midway of the three as far as selection goes, with both unchilled and chilled sections. Also available at this location is a small selection of glassware and beer books, and as opposed to other locations, the beer is arranged by style, indicating that at least someone among the staff is probably as OCD as I am. As with most or all WFs, you can't really ask for a better selection in a grocery store. And as before: service rating is really an n/a, but I'll just give an average rating for technicality's sake.
One thing that PA WFs have that Portland WFs don't have: pubs in the store!

I have been to Sienna and tasted the ricciarelli there and have also had friends bring them back from visits to Italy. I have never come across this cookie without orange or lemon in them as that is just an important flavor in the cookie as the almond. While the texture and the almond is good here, it was a disappointment overall due to lack of citrus flavor.
Posted by Rachel on 14th Dec 2012
The first time I tried these cookies, I fell in love. So delicious, I was sad when I finished the box. The next time I ordered I made sure to get two boxes! It's also a great gift- my friends and family love when I get them a box!

This is not crisp Cookie. It is a substantial smooth almond experience packed into a small bite.

Lovely, delicate flavor and nice texture. It takes real restraint not to eat all of these in one sitting!

Just a comment about the interchangeability of the words "patent" and "trademark". These sentences should be edited:
"He hopes representatives from startups will walk into the store for help to secure a TRADEMARK, protect a patent or get legal help with some other business-related issue."

DENISE A. RAYMO and KIM SMITH DEDAM Press-Republican
MALONE — It seemed unlikely on Friday that Franklin County would win state permission this session to create a 5 percent occupancy fee.
And a measure that would allow Adirondack Medical Center/Lake Placid to reduce its hours to part time was likely left hanging as well.
Biz News Ink
Bill A07966 in the Assembly and S05742 in the Senate seek to add 5 percent to the bills of overnight guests and to use the money exclusively for tourism initiatives in Franklin County.
Estimates are that $350,000 to $400,000 a year would be collected initially.
The Assembly version of the bill was read on the floor and moved for action Thursday but was not voted upon.
The Senate version was referred to the Investigations and Government Operations Committee on June 11 and had not budged as of Friday afternoon.
"The leadership of the State Senate will not pass anything that has the word 'tax' in it," said Franklin County Legislature Chairman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay).
Ironically, he was attending a meeting Friday morning of the county's new Tourism Advisory Committee when he received a call from Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) with an update on progress at the State Legislature session.
The committee was created to not only figure out a marketing plan to increase tourism with the money it receives from Franklin County but to prioritize how any bed-tax money would be spent if the bill were to become law.
"There's still time, but it looks like it's not going to go," Jones said of the bed-tax effort this session.
"The Senate and some others in the Assembly are getting political pressure."
Jones's frustration was evident as he spoke.
"I've said it a million times — it's not a tax. It's a marketing tool for economic development," he said.
Legislators were hopeful the measure would pass since Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Potsdam in February and hinted he would sign a bill in favor of Municipal Home Rule if the bed tax successfully passed the Assembly and Senate.
Jones said the county will try to get the tax passed at the next session of the State Legislature.
The additional fee would be charged on some vacation-rental properties, bed-and-breakfasts, cottages, condominiums, hotels and motels.
The money would tracked, collected and the law enforced by the County Treasurer's Office.
With a tally of 62-1 late Thursday night, the Senate passed the bill that would allow Adirondack Health to reduce the hours of its hospital in Lake Placid to at least 12 hours daily.
But it wasn't likely the corresponding legislation would make it to the Assembly floor before the session's end. Duprey said on Friday afternoon that it was not on the calendar.
"It appears we're not going to bring it up in the Assembly. We just ran out of time. The Senate passed it pretty late last night.
"Things just didn't fall into place," she said by phone from Albany.
Lawmakers had been working 15-hour days to act upon pending legislation before their recess, which begins today, the assemblywoman said.
The bill would amend Public Health Law to provide a single exemption specific to the Adirondack Medical Center campus in Lake Placid.
If the Assembly does not take up the measure, Duprey said, there may be other recourse.
"I think we'll work with Adirondack Health to make it happen," she said. "I think there are other ways."
The change to Public Health requirements that currently require around-the-clock operations at a hospital would be the first of its kind in New York.
It was proposed by lawmakers as Adirondack Health studies options for ways to cut costs at the Lake Placid facility and throughout its health-care system.
With two hospitals about 9 miles apart, Adirondack Health is working toward a fiscal recovery plan that responds to immense financial loss it sustained this year from federal-aid cuts and sequestration.
Officials have discussed a plan to convert the Emergency Department at the Lake Placid hospital into an immediate-care center.
The hospital in Lake Placid has two inpatient beds. But the Emergency Department is open and staffed 24/7.
And that resource is something that many people, including elected officials, have said they do not want to lose.
Concerning state-wide bills of local interest, the START-UP NY legislation was approved by the State Assembly Friday afternoon. North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas said the Senate was expected to pass the bill later Friday night.
The measure would mainly allow for creation of tax-free zones at SUNY campuses to attract new, out-of-state or existing businesses that plan to expand.
Douglas said the legislation is a historic connection between the power of the state's higher-education system and economic development.
"It creates a very powerful tool which can really be used in the North Country to pursue some of our region's strategic economic opportunities," he said via email. "It is already energizing curiosity and interest from Canada and elsewhere."
Douglas said the measure is an opportunity for the SUNY campuses in the tri-county area — SUNY Plattsburgh and Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh and North Country Community College, which has a presence in Saranac Lake, Malone and Ticonderoga.
"Working in collaboration with other SUNY campuses in St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties and with the advanced manufacturing program at Clarkson, which is already a regional innovation center, one can see an extremely attractive network of academic, research and training assets to bring to bear," he said.

Olympic ice dancing gold medalists Charlie White and Meryl Davis found themselves in a strange position when they signed on for Season 18 of Dancing with the Stars: rather than being partners, as they have been on the ice for 17 years, they'd actually be competing against each other. But they don't really see it that way.
"I guess technically speaking, we are competing against each other, but it couldn't feel further from that," Davis tells TVGuide.com. "We really feel like we're in it together."
Check out our full Q&A with White and Davis to get their thoughts on whether they have an unfair advantage in the competition, as well as White's reaction to Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba saying his and Peta Murgatroyd's dance last week wasn't really a rumba.

Erin Andrews is four weeks into her new gig as co-host of Dancing with the Stars, and while her presence in the ballroom has been a breath of fresh air for viewers in Season 18, the transition period has not exactly been bump-free.
Last week, some tabloid reports surfaced, quoting anonymous sources who accused Andrews of "diva" behavior on the set, and speculated that ABC might already be looking to replace her. (Executive producer Conrad Green has vehemently denied that there's any animosity behind the scenes.)
"I've got to be honest. ... It kind of got me worried and scared," Andrews told TVGuide.com last week, noting that she immediately called producers to do damage control. "I just went back and forth with the producers like, 'Are we good here? Please tell me what I need to work on. Please tell me what I need to do. 'And they're like, 'We couldn't be happier.'"
On this day most readily associated with the Wearing of the Green, consider a TV industry green with envy at the success of Chuck Lorre's comedy empire on CBS, which renewed all of his current series last week, led by the terrific and tremendously popular The Big Bang Theory (a powerhouse providing a clout that helps explain why the beyond-past-its-prime Two and a Half Men also made the cut). Lorre's two Monday comedies, anchored by strong female performances, are also back next season — and that's especially good news for fans (including me) of the underperforming, underrated Mom, with its sensational mother-daughter tag team of Allison Janney and Anna Faris as Bonnie and Christy, two generations of recovering addicts raising a family against powerful odds.
Last year, Dancing with the Stars reverted back to a one-night format for its 17th season, and as the reality competition heads into its 18th outing, even more big changes are on the way.
"When you're a show reaching its 18th season and its ninth year, I think you have to keep changing things up every so often just to make sure that the experience doesn't become too familiar," executive producer Conrad Green tells TVGuide.com. "It's spring, so it's time for a spring cleaning."
Check out nine big changes coming to Dancing with the Stars this season:
Drew Carey, Candace Cameron Bure, and Olympic gold medalists Charlie Whiteand Meryl Davis are among the celebrities who are heading to the ballroom for Season 18 of Dancing with the Stars.
Dancing with the Stars has certainly had plenty of shakeups leading up to Season 18, but at least one familiar face will be back in the ballroom — and we're not talking about new co-host Erin Andrews.
Professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy (who was Andrews' partner in Season 11) will return to the show after a two-season hiatus, a source close to the show has confirmed.

The show opens in an office; the asymmetrical design of the set frames the action, pulling your attention into the stage. But the set is not the only thing that draws you in. The play's very first scene brings up the very sensitive subject of ethnic identity. As the play progresses you notice that a lot of the dialogue is between two characters or small groups, giving the scenes a very personal, realistic feel. This intimacy makes the audience feel more included, while at once putting them more on edge as they find themselves ringside for the prickly, thought-provoking debate of the play.
Spinning Into Butter by Rebecca Gilman takes place in a small college located in Vermont. The college population contains very few minorities. So when one of those students begins receiving harassing, racially-tinged notes, the faculty is prompted to take action. This forces them to handle the extremely sensitive issue that the race question presents while addressing their own feelings on race at the same time.
Kaitlin Clarke, a senior Theatre major, plays the main character Sarah Daniels, Dean of Students at the fictional Belmont College.
"Sarah genuinely wants to do right by the students and has their best interests at heart," Clarke said. "While she may have a desire to help people, Sarah has an unwavering outlook on people that aren't like her."
Clarke finds the role of Sarah a challenging one due to the fact she does not share the same feelings as her character, but she hopes the role can give the audience something from which to learn.
"After working and finding the different facets of Sarah, I think and hope all audience members will at some points really dislike Sarah but at the same time see a little bit of themselves in her," Clarke said. "I really think that audience members will walk out of the theatre wanting to be better than these characters."
The production has been designated a Scholar-Citizen event. In line with that initiative, it provides an opportunity for reflection and discussion on the important issues of collective and individual feelings about racial/cultural differences. To facilitate this dialogue, two events connected with the production have been planned.
- A talkback moderated by RU Associate Professor of Theatre Jennifer Juul will follow the October 5th opening performance.
- RU's Director of Diversity and Equity, Brooke Chang will head a discussion featuring a panel of student leaders following the October 11th performance. This night has also been designated University 100 Night.
Faculty, students and members of the Radford community are encouraged to engage their students in this important opportunity.
Spinning Into Butter will be onstage October 5-6, 11-13, at 8 pm and October 14, at 2 pm at Pridemore Playhouse. Tickets are $8 for general admission, $5 for RU faculty and staff, and free to students with RU ID. Tickets are now available at the Porterfield Box Office or by calling (540) 831-5289. Please note - Tickets for performances of Spinning Into Butter occurring over Homecoming & Reunion/Family Weekend are available online and at the Hurlburt Student Center Information Desk (540-831-5420).
The Radford University Arts Society is also sponsoring "Curtain Up!" A Special Evening of Theatre on Friday, October 12. This special event includes cocktails, dinner, and a behind-the-scenes look at the production by Spinning Into Butter Director Wesley Young and Carl Lefko, Director of the School of Dance & Theatre. Tickets are $65 per person and include tickets to the play. For more information or to purchase tickets for "Curtain Up!" contact Kathleen Harshberger at 540-239-4999.

"Boring, boring Italy." That is usually how people describe the azzurri and Euro 2012 is no different. People have continued to call Italy boring all tournament. Correction: idiots have continued to call Italy boring all tournament.
Italy earned a reputation for defensive soccer over several decades and it was a deserved reputation. They never apologized for it, nor should they have. With four World Cup titles and a Euro title, they have no reason to apologize for however they play. It is clearly incredibly effective and while other countries parade around a style of play, Italy parade around trophies.
But the 2012 Italy team is nothing like the Italy teams of old. Cesare Prandelli changed the team and made them more attacking than they have in the past. He did so with good reason, too, leaning upon a slew of quality attacking players that should be given free reign to get forward and have with fantastic results.
Italy scored in each of their group stage matches, including those against Spain and Croatia so it wasn't a matter of beating down on inferior opponents at all. They created width in both matches, attacked quickly and did their fair share of entertaining. They have showed great tactical flexibility and even played with three at the back. They have been everything that a neutral would want.
The only goalless match of the tournament for the azzurri came against England in the quarterfinals and the Italians could hardly be blamed for that. Andrea Pirlo was marvelous, as was RIccardo Montolivo, and they created chances as they did their best to create goals, only to be held off by an England team dead set on defending.
Then again Germany in the semifinals, the chances and goals came again. Mario Balotelli scored twice, in part due to some tremendous play by Antonio Cassano and Montolivo. They had more chances to pad their lead late on, too, so it wasn't a two chance match by any means.
The Italians' goalscoring and attacking prowess goes back to Euro qualifying too, where they scored 20 goals in 20 matches. That is more than France, Croatia, Russia, England, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Ireland and they did it in a group with Serbia and Slovenia, two countries that qualified for the 2010 World Cup.
Italy earned their reputation as negative and sometimes boring, but they have not been that for two years now and they have not been that for all of Euro 2012. It's time to face reality -- Italy are fun now.
We'll have features, news updates and live coverage of the match in our Spain vs. Italy, Euro 2012 StoryStream. For more on Euro 2012 and the entire world of football, follow @SBNationSoccer on Twitter.

Avera McKennan Hospital made statewide history in May after one of its gynecologic oncologists removed a patient's ovaries without making a visible scar. KSFY was there when that patient saw her doctor for the first time since her surgery.
Christina Chelgren from Sioux Falls just turned 44 she would quickly discover the best present she could get was from Dr. Luis Rojas with theAvera Women's Center for Gynecologic Cancer after he told her he could remove her ovaries without creating another visible scar.
In May Dr. Rojas performed a first in his field in this region by going through Christina's belly button with a single port for a laparoscopic surgery to remove her ovaries. In late 2008 Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a lumpectomy and finding out her tumors were being fed by estrogen, she opted for a bi-lateral mastectomy in January. She was put on tamoxifen, but the medicine made her miserably sick. She said she had every single side-effect associated with the estrogen blocking drug.
Christina says, "In order for me to be taken off tamoxifen I had to have my ovaries removed to stop the estrogen from producing."
Christina was in disbelief when she learned that Dr. Rojas was participating in a clinical trial with the Cleveland Clinic to see if single incision ovary removal surgery leads to faster recovery with less pain meds, not to mention it leaves patients with 3 less scars which is typical of laparoscopic surgeries. She says she was just happy to be able to have her ovaries removed if it meant no more tamoxifen. So far so good! Christina was up and out of the house 4 days after surgery and was only on pain medications for a couple of days. Now 2 months later, she's even better.
Dr. Rojas says, "She did very well. The incision looks pretty good. There is nothing there but a belly button and that's the beauty of this."
Currently gallbladders can be removed with the single incision surgery. We featured the first one done in Sioux Falls earlier this year by Dr. Brad Thaemert (Surgical Institute of South Dakota) when we performed it at Avera McKennan. Up until May, never had any gynecologic surgeries been done through one incision through the belly button.
Christina says, "I feel really good. I'm back to work and starting to exercise."
Christina has already been put through the ringer. The last thing she needed was another battle scar to prove she's a fighter. We know she is and her smile is proof enough she's a survivor.
Christina wanted to get the word out to other breast cancer patients and survivors suffering with side effects to talk to their doctors because there can be other options. There was for her.

The vice president of student services is the college administrator responsible for student discipline. All discipline procedures will be initiated by the vice president or his/her designee.

The composition of the college discipline committee shall be as follows. The committee shall be established each fall. It will be composed of the following persons:
- A faculty member appointed by the president of the college.
- A member of the faculty appointed by the president of Bellevue College Association of Higher Education.
- Two representatives selected by the student services cabinet.
- Three students appointed by the president of the Associated Student Government of Bellevue College.
None of the above-named persons shall sit in any case in which he/she has a conflict of interest, is a complainant or witness, has a direct or personal interest, or has acted previously in an advisory capacity. Decisions in this regard, including the selection of alternates, shall be made by the committee as a whole.
The college discipline committee chair will be elected by the members of the committee.
There shall be a list of alternates provided in the same manner and number in which membership was obtained. The quorum required for a hearing is the chair, one faculty member, one representative of the student services cabinet and one student.
Disciplinary Terms
The following definitions of disciplinary terms have been established to provide consistency in the application of penalties:
- Disciplinary warning: Formal action censoring a student for violation of college rules or regulations or for failure to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct. Disciplinary warnings are always made in writing to the student by the vice president of student services. A disciplinary warning indicates to the student that continuation of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will result in one of the more serious disciplinary actions described below.
- Disciplinary probation: Formal action placing conditions upon the student's continued attendance for violation of college rules or regulations or failure to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct. Disciplinary probation warns the student that any further misconduct will make him/her liable to suspension or expulsion from the college. Disciplinary probation may be for a specific term or for an indefinite period.
- Suspension: Formal action dismissing a student temporarily from the college for unacceptable conduct or violation of college rules or regulations. Suspension may be for an indefinite period, but the implication of the action is that the student may eventually return if evidence or other assurance is presented that the unacceptable conduct will not be repeated.
- Summary suspension: Exclusion from college property and/or classes and other privileges or activities in accordance with WAC-132H-120-405.
- Expulsion: Students may be expelled only on the approval of the president of the college and on the recommendation of the vice president of student services or the college discipline committee. The notification expelling a student will indicate, in writing, the term of the expulsion and any conditions which must be met before readmission. There is no refund of fees for the quarter in which the action is taken, but fees paid in advance for a subsequent quarter are to be refunded.
- Registration denied: Formal action refusing to allow a student to register for subsequent quarters, for violation of college rules or regulations, or failure to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct, or failure to fulfill obligations to the college.
Students may be denied registration only on the approval of the president and on the recommendation of the vice president of student services or the college discipline committee. The initiating authority, in his/her written notification to the student, will detail the reasons for the denial of registration and the conditions to be met before registration will be allowed. Registration may be denied for a fixed or indefinite period. Future registration will not be allowed until the initiating authority is satisfied that the conditions have been met.
- Restitution. Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property. This may take the form of appropriate service or other compensation.
Initial Disciplinary Proceedings
- All disciplinary proceedings will be initiated by the vice president of student services or his or her designated representative. The student may be placed on suspension pending commencement of disciplinary action, pursuant to the conditions set forth in WAC 132H-120-405.
- Any student accused of violating any provision of the rules of conduct shall be called for an initial meeting with the vice president of student services or his or her designated representative. The student will be informed in writing of what provision or provisions of the rules of conduct he/she is charged with violating, and what appears to be the range of penalties, if any, which might result from initiation of disciplinary proceedings.
- After considering the evidence in the case and interviewing the accused student, if the accused student has appeared at the scheduled conference, the vice president or his or her designee may take any of the following actions:
- Terminate the proceeding, exonerating the student or students;
- Dismiss the case after whatever counseling and advice the vice president or his or her designee deems appropriate;
- Impose verbal warning to student directly, not subject to the student's right of appeal as provided in this chapter;
- Impose additional sanctions of reprimand, probation, suspension, or dismissal, subject to the student's right of appeal as provided in the following provisions.
Appeals of Disciplinary Action – Generally
- Appeals contesting any disciplinary action may be made by the student(s) involved. Such appeals shall be made in the following order:
- Disciplinary action taken by the vice president of student services or his or her designee(s) may be appealed to the college discipline committee, which may, at the request of the vice president or his or her designee(s), hear the case de novo.
- Disciplinary recommendations made by the college discipline committee may be appealed by the student to the president of the college. The president shall review the record of the proceedings which give rise to the appeal, as well as the recommendations made by the vice president of student services and the college discipline committee. The president's decision shall be final.
- Any appeal by a student receiving a disciplinary sanction must meet the following conditions:
- The appeal must be in writing and must clearly state errors in fact or matters in extenuation or mitigation which justify the appeal; and
- The appeal must be filed within twenty-one calendar days from the date on which the student was notified that disciplinary action was being taken.
- All decisions shall be sent from the office of the vice president of student services to the president. Written decisions shall include the signature of the college discipline committee chair. Copies shall be sent to the president of the college or his or her designee and to the student involved in the proceeding.
College Discipline Committee Procedure
- The college discipline committee shall conduct a hearing within twenty calendar days after disciplinary action has been referred to the committee.
- When a person is charged with an offense punishable by suspension, or dismissal of his or her relationship with the institution, and where the person
- waives the opportunity for a brief adjudicative proceeding, or
- by his/her conduct in the judgment of the hearing officer makes it impossible to conduct a brief adjudicative proceeding, or
- is dissatisfied with the results of the brief adjudicative proceeding that person is entitled to an adjudicative proceeding according to the provisions of RCW 34.05.410 and the guidelines of this chapter.

Brief adjudicative proceedings before the committee shall be conducted in any manner which will bring about a prompt, fair resolution of the matter.
- Written notice of the time and place of his or her hearing before the college discipline committee shall be given to the student by personal service or certified mail not less than twenty calendar days in advance of the hearing. The notice shall be issued by the vice president of student services and shall contain:

- The student shall have all authority possessed by the college to obtain information relevant to the issues of the hearing, he/she specifically describes, in writing, and tenders to the vice president of student services no later than three days prior to the hearings, or request the presence of witnesses or the production of other relevant evidence.
- The student shall have the right to dismiss a member of the college discipline committee on prejudicial grounds if notice is tendered in writing to the vice president of student services at least three days prior to the scheduled hearing.
- The student may be represented by counsel of his or her choice at the disciplinary hearing. If the student elects to choose a duly licensed attorney as his or her counsel, he or she must tender at least seven calendar days notice thereof to the vice president of student services.
- In all disciplinary proceedings the college may be represented by the vice president of student services or his or her designee who shall present the college's case to the college discipline committee. The vice president of student services may elect to have the college represented by an assistant attorney general.
- An adequate record of the hearing shall be maintained and shall include:
- all documents, motions, and intermediate rulings;
- evidence received and considered;
- a statement of matters noticed; and
- questions and offers of proof, objections, and rulings thereon.
- The chair of the college discipline committee shall preside at the disciplinary hearing and shall be considered the presiding officer.
- The vice president of student services shall designate a recorder to take notes during the hearing and to prepare a written summary of all evidence, facts, and testimony presented to the college discipline committee during the course of the hearing.
- Hearings conducted by the college discipline committee generally will be held in closed session, provided that the accused student may request the hearing to be held in open session.
- If at any time during the conduct of a hearing visitors disrupt the proceedings, the chair of the committee may exclude such persons from the hearing room.
- Any student attending the college discipline committee hearing who continues to disrupt the proceedings after the chair of the committee has asked him or her to cease or to leave the hearing room shall be subject to disciplinary action.
Evidence Admissible in Hearings
- Only those matters presented at the hearing, in the presence of the accused student (except where the student fails to attend after receipt of proper notice) will be considered in determining whether the college discipline committee has sufficient cause to believe that the accused student is guilty of violating the rules he or she is charged with having violated. Hearsay evidence is admissible in the hearing.
- The presiding officer of the college discipline committee shall, in the course of presiding at the disciplinary hearing, give effect to the rules of privilege recognized by law and exclude incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, and unduly repetitious evidence.
- Evidence or testimony to be offered by or on behalf of the student in extenuation or mitigation shall not be presented or considered until all substantive evidence or testimony has been presented.
Decision by the College Discipline Committee
- Upon conclusion of the disciplinary hearing, the college discipline committee shall consider all the evidence therein presented and decide by majority vote whether to uphold the decision of the vice president of student services or to recommend to the president any of the following actions:
- that the college terminate the proceedings and exonerate the student or students;
- that the college impose any of the disciplinary actions as provided in this chapter.
- Within seven calendar days, the student will be provided with a copy of the college discipline committee's findings of fact and conclusions regarding what occurred, whether the student violated any provision of the student code, and recommendation for the final disposition of the matter at issue. The committee shall also advise the student of his/her rights to present, within twenty-one calendar days, a written statement to the president of the college appealing the recommendation of the college discipline committee.
Final Appeal
Any student who is aggrieved by the finding(s) or conclusion(s) of an appeal to the College Discipline Committee may appeal the same in writing to the president within twenty-one days following notification to the student of the action taken by the committee. The president may, at his or her discretion, suspend the disciplinary actions imposed. In the consideration of such an appeal, the president shall base his or her findings and decision solely on the official written record of the case and on any reports or recommendations of the College Discipline Committee and/or the vice president or his or her designee who conducted the original hearing.
Readmission After Expulsion
Any student expelled from the college may be readmitted only on written petition to the office which initiated the action resulting in his expulsion. Such petitions must indicate how specified conditions have been met and if the term of the expulsion has not expired, any reasons which support a reconsideration of the matter. Because the president of the college participates in all disciplinary actions expelling students from the college, decisions on such petitions for readmission must be reviewed and approved by the president before readmission is granted. The president shall render a decision in writing to the student.
Reporting, Recording, and Maintenance of Records
Records of all disciplinary cases shall be kept in the office of the vice president of student services. Except in proceedings wherein the student is exonerated, all documentary or other physical evidence produced or considered in disciplinary proceedings and all recorded testimony shall be preserved for not more than five years. No record of proceedings wherein the student is exonerated, other than the fact of exoneration, shall be maintained in the student's file or other college repository after the date of the student's graduation.
Summary Suspension Proceedings
If a vice president or his designee(s) has cause to believe that any student
- has committed a felony; or
- has violated any provision of this chapter; and
- presents an imminent danger either to himself or herself, to other persons on the college campus, or to the educational process;
that student shall be summarily suspended and shall be notified by certified and regular mail at the student's last known address, or shall be personally served. Summary suspension is appropriate only where (c) of this subsection can be shown, either alone or in conjunction with (a) or (b) of this subsection.
Permission to Enter or Remain on Campus
During the summary suspension period, the suspended student shall not enter any campus of Bellevue College other than to meet with the vice president of student services or to attend the hearing. However, the vice president of student services or the college president may grant the student special permission to enter a campus for the express purpose of meeting with faculty, staff, or students in preparation for a probable cause hearing.
Notice of Summary Suspension Proceedings
- When the president or his/her designee exercises the authority to summarily suspend a student, he/she shall cause notice thereof to be served upon that student by registered or certified mail at the student's last known address, or by causing personal service of such notice upon that student.
- The notice shall be entitled "notice of summary suspension proceedings" and shall state:
- the charges against the student including reference to the provisions of the Student Code of Bellevue College or the law involved; and
- that the student charged must appear before the vice president of student services at a time specified in the notice for a hearing as to whether probable cause exists to continue the summary suspension. The hearing shall be held as soon as practicable after the summary suspension.
Procedures of Summary Suspension Hearing
- The summary suspension hearing shall be considered an emergency adjudicative proceeding. The proceeding must be conducted as soon as practicable with the vice president of student services presiding.
- At the summary suspension hearing, the vice president of student services shall determine whether there is probable cause to believe that continued suspension is necessary and/or whether some other disciplinary action is appropriate.
Decision by the Vice President of Student Services
If the vice president of student services, following the conclusion of the summary suspension proceedings, finds that there is probable cause to believe that:
- the student against whom specific violations of law or of provisions of this chapter are alleged has committed one or more of such violations upon any college facility; and
- that summary suspension of said student is necessary for the protection of the student, other students or persons on college facilities, college property, the educational process, or to restore order to the campus; and
- such violation or violations of the law or of provisions of this chapter constitute grounds for disciplinary action,
then the vice president of student services may, with the written approval of the president, continue to suspend such student from the college and may impose any other disciplinary action appropriate.
Notice of Suspension
- A student who is suspended or otherwise disciplined pursuant to the above rules shall be provided with a written copy of the vice president of student service's findings of fact and conclusions, as expressly concurred in by the president, which constituted probable cause to believe that the conditions for summary suspension existed.
- The student suspended pursuant to the authority of this rule shall be served a copy of the notice of suspension by personal service or by registered mail to said student's last known address within three working days following the conclusion of the summary suspension hearing.
- The notice of suspension shall state the duration of the suspension or nature of other disciplinary action and the conditions under which the suspension may be terminated.
Suspension for Failure to Appear
The vice president of student services is authorized to enforce the suspension of the summarily suspended student in the event the student has been served pursuant to the notice requirement and fails to appear at the time designated for the summary suspension proceeding.
Appeals from Summary Suspension Hearing
- Any student aggrieved by an order issued at the summary suspension proceeding may appeal to the college discipline committee. No such appeal shall be entertained, however, unless
- the student has first appeared at the student hearing in accordance with WAC 132H-120-430;
- the student has been officially notified of the outcome of the hearing;
- summary suspension or other disciplinary sanction has been upheld; and
- the appeal conforms to the standards set forth in WAC-132H-120-245.

Strawberries 'n' Cream Trifle Recipe
My mother-in-law gave me this recipe, which I lightened up by using less milk, reduced-fat whipped topping and angel food cake instead of pound cake. It's good made with fresh peaches or blueberries, too. Pamela Gainer of Sand Ridge, West Virginia
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1-1/2 cups cold water
- 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
- 1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces)
- 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 3 whole fresh strawberries
- In a bowl, whisk the milk and water. Whisk in the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in the whipped topping. Cut cake into 1/2-in. cubes.
- Spoon a third of the pudding mixture into a 4-qt. trifle or glass bowl. Top with half of the cake cubes and sliced strawberries. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining pudding mixture. Garnish with whole strawberries. Yield: 12 servings.

Updated: Hot air balloon lands in town centre
Updated 4:53pm Thursday 17th April 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
A HOT air balloon which landed in Marlow town centre this morning touched down safely with no one injured, according to police.
Officers were called at around 8.30am after residents reported they were worried about the balloon flying low near houses.
One onlooker told the BFP it appeared as if the balloon had gone down quickly after hovering above the centre of town at low altitude.
But Thames Valley Police confirmed no one was hurt in the landing, which happened in Wethered Park to the west of the High Street.
The balloon operator, Virgin Balloon Flights, claim the landing was planned, and that it was chosen as the most suitable spot for landing.
A spokesman said that with the number of crop fields in the area at this time of year, the pilot aimed to avoid them and with balloons travelling with the wind direction, pre-determined landing sites cannot be made.
The balloon and basket has now been loaded onto a vehicle and taken away.

CHULA VISTA (CBS 8) - A local Navy chief petty officer has been chosen to receive a prestigious military award and it's thanks in part to News 8 viewers.
When we first met the Mondragon family, Chief Petty Officer Patrick Mondragon, his wife of 14 years, Violet, 9-year-old daughter Olivia and 8 year-old son, Adam, Patrick had just learned that he was one of four finalists for the Military Fatherhood of the Year Award.
"My official title is Senior Enlisted Leader for Religious Ministry the at 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing," Patrick said.
The religious program specialist, who served in the Arbian Gulf, the Persian Gulf, Somilia and recently returned from deployment in Afganistan, was being recognized for his outstanding efforts in the United through Reading program.
"Sailors that are deployed can read books to their children, while we video tape them and then we send those videos home and our kids get to watch them," Patrick explained.
"He made over 300 videos for all the Marine and Navy personnel men to send home to their families," Violet said.
When Mondragon's story original aired on News 8 in late April, we invited our viewers to log on to the Fatherhood of the Year website and vote for Patrick, and our viewers responded.
"I think that the support from the San Diego community played a big part in rallying those votes for us, winning that award," Patrick said.
In an upcoming ceremony to be held at the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at Miramar, Patrick Mondragon will receive the Fatherhood of the Year Award. He's hoping that a visit to the White House will come along with it, as it has for the previous three winners.
"I definitely wanted to thank my wife Violet, my son and daughter, our parents and our family, our friends and the San Diego community, who voted for us for this award. We're just so thankful to be honored and we're humbled," Patrick said.
Way to go, San Diego. Your votes helped give a beautiful story a very happy ending.
