Two Henrico officers earn Valor Awards
Two Henrico County police officers were among seven area first responders honored for heroism Oct. 5 at the Retail Merchants Association's 23rd Annual Valor Awards.
Held annually at the the Greater Richmond Convention Center, the event drew approximately 500 business leaders, law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMS personnel and featured keynote speaker William "Bill" G. Haneke, an author and decorated veteran of the Vietnam War.
Haneke, a 1966 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, was a U.S. Army ranger and paratrooper awarded three Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, the Combat Infantry Badge, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry for his service. He is also a co-founder of The Families of the Wounded Fund, Inc., which provides assistance to family members and caregivers of wounded military veterans.
Having barely survived the horrendous wounds he suffered from an exploding Viet Cong land mine, Haneke told the crowd, he has a particular fondness for first responders.
Despite the extent of his injuries and the decades that have passed since, Haneke was able to describe the moment of impact in vivid detail, and the sensation of being hurled 80 feet through the air.
"I landed on barbed wire," Haneke recalled. "My leg was hanging by a tendon, and my carotid artery was severed. I could feel the blood bouncing off my shoulder with every beat of my heart."
Because Haneke's dog tags were blown off by the blast, medical personnel had no way to know his religion or blood type. Taken to five field hospitals before reaching a surgical hospital, he was given last rites multiple times.
"But the medics took great care of me," he said. "They managed to keep me alive." Using a two-and-a-half-inch section of intact artery from his severed leg, medics were able to graft a repair onto the carotid artery.
"I'm the first person they tried this on that lived," said Haneke. "And I'm here to tell you, 43 years later, it's still working."
Moving from battlefield stories to an account of his career at the Medical College of Virginia, Haneke described emergency room incidents involving everything from drug overdoses, severe burns, and children abandoned at the hospital door to gang violence and accidents involving explosive and chemical transports.
Regarding the nights when street crimes spiked and knifing and shooting victims would arrive at the ER in clusters, Haneke noted that the violence didn't stop there.
"There were several occasions," he said, "when [the offenders] would come in the ER and try to finish what they started on the streets.
"My hat is off to the first responders that respond to these situations," Haneke summed up. "You just don't know what you're going to encounter."
Bronze Award recipients
Officer Michael A. Moore and Officer Edward L. Wigley of the Henrico Division of Police earned the Bronze Award for their actions during an armed confrontation Sept. 8, 2011.
The incident began when a citizen called police and requested a police escort to her residence because of a protective order against her husband.
Learning that the husband had called a friend, crying and threatening suicide, officers formulated a plan and organized an entry team a few blocks from the caller's residence. As officers approached the apartment, the woman's husband arrived in a taxi. Wigley recognized the suspect, alerted other officers, and ordered the suspect to show his hands.
Pulling out a handgun, the suspect shot himself and pointed the gun in the direction of Moore, who was standing beside the taxi. Wigley then positioned himself between the suspect and the taxi driver, trying to get the driver out of the vehicle, while Moore fired several shots at the suspect in the cab. Officials later learned that the suspect had been arrested earlier in the year for shooting into an occupied vehicle and reckless use of a weapon.
Also honored with Valor Awards were four members of the Chesterfield Fire and EMS Scuba Rescue Team who assisted Westmoreland County authorities with rescues from flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee, and a Hanover County firefighter who pulled a woman from a burning car using his bare hands.
Retired fire chief also honored
In addition to the awards ceremony, the event also included performances by the Greater Richmond Pipes & Drums and two special tributes.
Bill Selden of The 100 Club presented the tributes, honoring the late Ruby Turner, a local community law enforcement advocate, and Edwin Smith, the recently retired chief of Henrico County Division of Fire.
Noting that it was at least his twelfth visit to the Valor Awards, Smith echoed Haneke's remark that all first responders are heroes. "There are countless other stories not being told here today," he said. "But it's every day that [first responders] wake up and do these things."
And while he has missed seeing many friends and co-workers since retiring, said Smith, they are never far from his mind.
"I don't miss the work," he said, amid laughter, "but I miss you.
"And I do still pray for you every day."

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — On one level, the idea of seeking a "bridge" plan" as Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk calls it, as a transition toward a new future for the city's waterfront is a good idea, just as it would be for any other fishing community.
Even if the current federally-created quota crisis is resolved, no one expects the commercial fishing industry to return to what it had once been. And it is indeed important for city and business leaders to explore alternative opportunities for marine industrial use.
But the idea of "redeploying" shut down fishing vessels for research, and a hope of "working with" NOAA leaders on that and other projects comes across as so naive that it's virtually insulting to both fishermen and state and federal lawmakers who have pursued cooperative research with NOAA for years and basically told to take a hike.
And that naivete is topped by city waterfront development director Sarah Garcia's embarrassing comment that "before, it was characterized as handouts to fishermen; this is different, this is investing in a new marine environment."
If Garcia or the mayor had truly been paying attention, they would know this has virtually never about "handouts to fishermen." While lawmakers had sought aid for the industry — a perfectly logical presumption considering the Department of Commerce has declared the Northeast groundfishery a recognized "economic disaster" — the core issues have revolved around shaky NOAA science that led to the call to cut commercial limits, and the fact that NOAA's regulatory and enforcement actions have created this economic calamity by wrongly preventing fishermen from earning a living.
From the start, fishermen haven't sought handouts — they only want to be able to fish for a living, but their own government is denying them the ability to do so under a three-year old management system wrongly thrust upon them by their own government.
At its core, Kirk's and Garcia's "bridge plan" comes across as a surrender and a sense of resignation that NOAA and Commerce are not going to adhere to any of the industry's or lawmakers' requests. And those requests merely just call for the government to follow its own federal laws – including a long-ignored provision of the Magnuson-Stevens Act that requires NOAA and its regional councils to weigh the impact of regulations on fishing communities, and the 1954 Kennedy-Saltonstall Act, which mandates that a percentage of money raised on seafood import tariffs go to boost and promote the industry, not NOAA's own bloated budget.
Kirk's proposal seems to be reaching out toward a new cooperative spirit between the city and a rogue federal agency that has been allowed a free hand without any accountability to the fishing industry or to American taxpayers.
But the mayor and other city officials should be well aware that NOAA officials have shown no interest whatsoever in cooperating on anything.
The demise of this historic industry — at the federal government's own hand — is no time to strike up a few chords of "Kumbaya." Let's hope the mayor has second thoughts — and tosses this "bridge plan" in the trash bin, where it truly belongs.

Women's hoops falls at home to FGCU

Florida Gulf Coast continued to add to Jacksonville's first half problems during a 80-49 victory Saturday in A-Sun action at Swisher Gymnasium.
The Eagles (17-5, 10-0) scored 42 points in the first half after shooting 52.9 percent from the floor to set up their 11th straight win. The Dolphins (7-14, 3-7) have allowed 40 or more points in the first half in seven of the last eight games.
Jamie Gluesing hit five of the Eagles' 10 three-pointers to lead FGCU with 20 points. Sarah Hansen added 18 points and six steals in the win, while Brittany Kennedy scored 15 points.
"We have to start better in the first half," JU head coach Jill Dunn said. "It's difficult to regroup because we can't find our rhythm early. This was a tough way to begin the second half of the A-Sun schedule, but Monday is a new day and a chance for us to come out stronger."
Freshman Queen Alford scored 18 points and had eight boards to lead the Dolphins in her second career start. Senior Tracie Sneed added 12 points and eight boards in the loss.
In the first half, the Eagles opened with an 8-0 lead after a Kennedy layup at 17:40. Freshman Briona Brown followed with a bucket less than a minute later, but FGCU used an 18-4 run to gain a 26-6 advantage (8:40). With less than four minutes left, Alford worked her way through the lane for a layup and hit a three-pointer in transition at 2:36 to help cap a 7-0 run for JU. Kennedy recorded a three-point play in the final minute to set up FGCU's 42-19 halftime lead they would not relinquish.
The Eagles scored 47 points on 17 steals and 30 JU turnovers in the win. The Dolphins held a 46-to-25 advantage in rebounding. JU also went 14 of 17 at the free throw line.
Brown finished with six points and eight boards for the Dolphins, while junior Jade Cargill recorded a team-best nine boards.
The Dolphins look to snap the losing skid Monday against Stetson in Swisher Gymnasium at 7 p.m. Fans can follow the action through the live links at JUDolphins.com.

Police say Sixteen-year-old Braxton Barhams was shot and killed Saturday in Elkhart.
His death has inspired community members to do something.
Michelle Johnsen is making two decals, one will be a memorial to Barhams' life and the other will say "Stop The Violence."
Profits from sales will benefit Barhams' family.
She says she has a 14-year old daughter, so this tragedy hits close to home.
"I feel like I was given this opportunity to run this business which started three years ago, that I need to do it for the greater good and this is what I'm meant to do," says Michelle Johnsen who owns Competition Graphics.

Date/Time: 8th June 2013Location: Magdalen Yard Road Car Park, Dundee, DD1 4NBRoute Details: 170km starting in Dundee, reaching Cairn 'O' Mount, over the top riding a wee loop then back over and home to Dundee.
Meeting at the Car Park near where I live which is free at VV to nine. We'll then roll into town for a coffee stop at Empire State Coffee which serves the best coffee in Dundee according to the VMH. Then we ride all the way up to Cairn 'O' Mount at which point there are several options. For those with the legs it's over the top and round a small loop before coming back over the Mount to then stop at The Clattering Brig for refreshments. Option Two is to ride up to the top, turn around and wait for those going over at TCB. The third Option is to just stop at The Clattering Brig and not take on the climb but I hope no-one chooses this option. Then the party of Velominati will travel back to the Car Park where showering facilities will be available at my place as well as some food before we walk a short distance for the recovery beverages. The long route climbing the Cairn 'O' Mount from both sides is about 170km. All welcome.

March 29, 2013 – April 8, 2013 // Lille, France // Event Details // Book Now
The Hardmen. They inspire us; we aspire to be one among them. They are the solitary voice among the thousands in our heads that tell us to keep pushing when all the others tell us to stop. Their long shadows look on in approval as we pull on our cold and wet weather gear and head out into the elements to ride.
Every serious Cyclist is a hard man or woman; it comes with the territory. But to be given the title of Hardman, one must be more than just tough. The Hardmen stand out among the rest as the ones who ride over the savage, jagged cobblestones of Northern Europe with a souplesse that is possessed only by those riders who thrive in the most torturous of road cycling's domains: The Cobbled Classics of Northern Europe.
Velominati has partnered up with Pavé Cycling Classics, based in Northern France, to offer the chance to walk where Giants tread and pedal through the trench of Arenberg and up the devastating cobbled steeps of the Koppenberg and Kapelmuur. To pedal with the Pros during their reconnaissance of the Paris-Roubaix route.
As if that isn't good enough, we offer the opportunity to do all this with Johan Museeuw, the last Lion of Flanders.
Velominati's Keepers Tour: Cobbled Classics 2013 will be hosted and guided by the Velominati Keepers in partnership with Pavé Cycling Classics over nine days in April during the most sacred time of the season, the week when de Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris Roubaix are held. The trip is all-inclusive and covers lodging, meals, energy drink, energy bars, and sag support. Bikes are available and included in the price should you wish not to bring your own.
The friendships forged over the 2012 edition of Keepers Tour with 9 days of riding the cobbles of Flanders and Northern France, drinking the best of Belgian beer, and eating the finest French cuisine leave an indelible mark on not only the Keepers, but all those who attend. Cycling has that ability to bring people together, and we count ourselves very blessed to have met such a great bunch of souls who we are proud to call our mates.
For 2013, we have trimmed the fat and added a bunch of amazing treats for you. Not only will we be riding the Pavé du Nord, the steeps of Liége and the Kasseien of Flanders, we will be doing it with a very special guest; The Lion of Flanders himself, Johan Museeuw. Last year we had the pleasure of an afternoon with Johan, riding some of the Gent-Wevelgem route and enjoying a few beers after. This time, you can witness firsthand how to float across the stones of Arenberg and charge up the Kapelmuur from the master… how many cyclists are able to say that?
Take this unique opportunity to be part of an experience that everyone attending will never forget, or regret.
Provisional Itinerary
- Friday : Pick up midday, travel to gite and get bikes setup
- Saturday : Paris-Roubaix with Johan Museeuw (last 150km)
- Sunday : Watch de Ronde van Vlaanderen at the Oude Kwaremont
- Monday: Visit the Roeselare National Bicycle Museum & go for an easy ride around Kemmel
- Tuesday: Liège-Bastogne- Liège with Johan Museeuw
- Wednesday: Track riding at the Eddy Merckx Velodrome in Gent then watch the GP Escault (Scheldeprijs) pro race
- Thursday: Paris Roubaix reconaissance ride with the Pros
- Friday: Brunehaut brewery visit and meet with Pro Team (Omega-Pharma Quickstep or AG2R)
- Saturday: Ronde Van Vlaanderen with Johan Museeuw (150km)
- Sunday: Watch Paris Roubaix at three secteurs (Valenciennes, Arenberg, l'Arbre); optional stay at gite on Sunday night
Price: 3990€, All inclusive price includes rides with Johan Museeuw, accommodation for 9 nights, breakfast, lunch, dinner, beer, wine, insurance coverage, sag support, Pavé's custom Cyfac rental bikes (upon request), exclusive V-Lion V-Shirts, exclusive Keepers Tour V-Pint, exclusive V-Mussette, and Pavé Cycling Classics jersey. Plus swag from our sponsors.
At this time we are accepting reservations for the full Keepers Tour, and now we also include weekend and daily packages. Once the reservation is confirmed, we will collect a 20% deposit with the balance due upon arrival in Lille.
Attendees should be comfortable riding in groups and be able to ride 150km several times in a week at a 28-30kph pace; some groups may elect to go faster but these are non-competitive rides. There will be lots of cobbles, and lots of short, steep climbs – sometimes both at the same time, so prepare yourself accordingly. We will usually have sag support, and riders who are unable to keep up may be asked to climb in the car. Or to Survive on V.
There is a problem with our booking form; please email email@example.com to register.
Bookings are closed for this event.

Andrew Cashner was a good thing the Padres had going for them. The trade return for Anthony Rizzo, the Padres recognized Cashner's triple-digit heat and sent him to the minors to stretch out as a starter. Cashner had success starting in the minors, he had a good first start after re-joining San Diego, and Tuesday night he was on his way to having another good start. But because Andrew Cashner was a good thing for the Padres, something had to happen to him, and something happened to him.
While warming up before the third inning, Cashner experienced discomfort. After throwing one pitch to the backstop, he signaled for attention:
During a mound conference, Cashner appeared to signal to his elbow, and he was removed from action. He slammed his glove down in the dugout out of frustration.
There's no official word yet on what's the matter with Cashner, or how bad it is, but it's easy to speculate and the speculation isn't encouraging. Cashner missed just about all of the 2011 season with a shoulder injury, and injury risk was one of the reasons why some people were skeptical about Cashner in a rotation.

Freshman Ventimiglia leads JU past Detroit

Freshman Holly Ventimiglia scored three goals and four teammates added two apiece as JU cruised past Detroit, 20-5, in the National Lacrosse Conference opener for both teams Tuesday.
For Ventimiglia, from Medford, N.Y., it was the second consecutive game she has recorded a hat trick as she scored three times against Siena Sunday.
"I'm just executing my shots right now,'' the midfielder, who also had a pair of assists, said.
She had plenty of help along the way as the Dolphins (2-1, 1-0) built a 13-3 halftime lead.
Midfielders Ellyn Spangenberg, Chelsea Watts and Abby Warnken along with defenseman Kayleigh Hynes all scored a pair of goals.
Senior Jess Hotchkiss led the JU defense as she had four ground balls, netted four draw controls and caused two turnovers.
With Ventimiglia putting in two of her goals in the first 3:34, the Dolphins built a 5-0 lead before Detroit's (0-2, 0-1) Corina Mahorn scored. She led the Titans with two goals.
JU plays host to St. Joseph's Sunday as part of a triple header at D.B. Milne Field. The women play at 12:30 p.m. which follows a men's game between Michigan and Mercer at 10 a.m. The JU men will play at 3:30 against Holy Cross.

Telestaff via the web.
Over the past five years our union has been dealing with many issues that have been brought on by Fire Chief Dave Hanneman and his Deputies. They have created a mentality of sustained management opposition against our local. Many of our brothers and sisters want to know how the relationship between Labor and Management deteriorated so quickly. Well, the simple answer is the relationship has been deteriorating since Chief Hannemann took the position. Prior Union Presidents, both Steve Miller and Mike Nash had to deal with many of these same problems during their tenures. For this relationship to work both sides must continue to seek solutions to difficult problems and be willing to recognize the concerns of both parties before common ground can be reached. Fire Admin has refused to meet at this common ground. In fact, Chief Hanneman recently relinquished all interest and ability to deal with our Bargaining Group by removing himself from our monthly Labor/Management meetings. These meetings have proven to be an ideal way for Labor/Management to achieve common goals, as well as deal with ongoing issues before they become real problems. Although the board continues to attend the meetings in good faith, Chief Hanneman does not.
With that said, the Vote of No Confidence was delivered to the Mayor, Council, City Manager and Mr. Hanneman on December 27, 2013. We want to give the Council some time to absorb the information and hopefully discus some possible solutions with the Union board prior to making this information available to the public. This is being done out of respect to our Council. Again we must not forget to fulfill our obligation to protect and serve our citizens. They are the reason we are here and we want to serve them honorably and faithfully.
The top priority of any leader should be their people. The Fire Chief and his deputies have never grasped this simple concept. As the Union President, my membership comes first. I am obligated to ensure our brothers and sisters are safe, bargained with fairly, and have the rules applied equally. This is done in many different ways through negotiations, grievances, labor/management meetings, and union membership meetings. In this instance it is being accomplished with the Vote of No Confidence in Dave Hanneman.
These undesirable and adverse conditions now force us to look at the things our members do that are not in our job descriptions. Much of the volunteer work, committees, and special assignments may need to be passed on by our membership until the management team begins to bargain with us in good faith and uphold the contracts they have agreed too and signed. The board will soon begin the IAFF censorship proceedings for the Fire Chief and possibly his Deputies. Speak to your board members on any questions or input you may have. Thank you,
President Hess
The following is an excerpt from an article by the CPF Secretary-Treasurer Lew Stone. The title is "Our Obligations". An obligation is defined as a binding contract or sense of duty. We have an obligation to do an excellent job as a firefighter. We have a duty to our employer to perform to the best of our abilities. We make a solemn promise to the community we serve that we will carry out our task, perhaps even to the point of laying down our lives. If this is not our highest priority then everything I discuss below loses its credibility.
We are obligated to be vital members of our union. This entails our support through the investment of our time and financial resources. Attendance at union meetings is imperative. Some will say I just don't have the time. Think for a second. That meeting is your primary means of interacting with your leadership – to ask questions, to be a critical thinker. It's your opportunity to hold your leaders accountable too. Many of us fail to make the connection between the financial security we enjoy and the union that made it possible. Ask a brother or sister in a right to work state, (Idaho), how that is working out for them. The tooth fairy is not negotiating your salary, the union is. Finally, a small investment of time by the majority alleviates the burden placed on the few. Lew Stone.
I believe that we all need to work as hard as possible within our union family as we do with our families at home. If we don't then we are merely giving lip service when we refer to each other as brother and sister. A few members felt I went too far in speaking of our duty to take the survey, and that failing to take it would be noted. I wonder if I went far enough? It is time to understand that your brothers and sisters have every right to call out those that aren't pulling their weight during these difficult times.
With that said, how can we hold our Fire Chief accountable if we fail to hold ourselves accountable? I truly believe in the saying; leadership is by example whether we want it or not. The example I hope you take from me is to participate in your local at as many levels that you can. There should be no excuse for failing to take an online survey, or an online vote. I see people sitting in front of their computers, I pads and smart phones all day long. Now I do understand why people can't make every union meeting, but at the same time it warms my heart to see new mothers and fathers attend our meetings with their newest union members in tow. We all need to understand, the time of paying our union dues and being done is over. We all need to respect the union, and go the extra mile. We are the union and we are the Fire Department. Without us neither can work effectively. Chiefs and administrators come and go, but the Union Membership is the only constant factor in this equation.
With all that said, the results of the recent survey have overwhelmingly shown the lack of confidence in the leadership of Fire Chief Dave Hanneman by the membership. The Executive Board hears your response, and is geared to take the next step. This motion is an important action, and it is imperative that every members voice is heard. In the online voting section, the Executive Board has fulfilled its duty by posting the Vote of No Confidence. Now it's your duty as union members to vote. Thank you,
President and the Executive Board

Manchester's Delphic has been called the new "New Order" with their electronic pop sound. Their debut album was produced by Ewan Pearson and the group has become one of the newest groups loved amongst press and bloggers. I'm not entirely convinced yet, but I just got this remix from Julio Bashmore that I can't stop playing. Julio is a producer from Bristol that was recently signed by Claude Von Stroke to Dirtybird Records. Here Julio takes on the Delphic track and transforms it into a vocal-less, moody, spacey track. The bassline is reminiscent of The XX's recent remix of Florence & The Machine.

Alabama folk artist She-She Vaughn was one of the first artists to bring her creations to Pepper Place. When she initially set up her booth, Pepper Place patrons, unaccustomed to art being offered, would frequently ask her, "Where are the tomatoes?" So in order to compete with the popularity of the most sought after summer vegetable, she began to paint huge, vibrant red tomatoes, which were immediately successful in attracting smiling, curious patrons to her booth.
Several years ago, one of her massive, boldly painted tomatoes caught the attention of Rachael Ray's television production team and She-She explained, "They found me on the side of the road in Gadsden."
While she was set up with her art along Corridor 127 as part of "The World's Longest Yardsale," which stretches for 675 miles from Gadsden to Hudson, Mich., the team spent several hours talking with and filming her and purchased several pieces of her "Food Art" before they left. At the end of one of her shows, Rachael featured a print of She-She's painting "Bama BLT," which depicts two extra-large slices of tomato, bacon, and lettuce, with a jar of Bama mayonnaise, before giving it to an audience member.
A city girl until she was 12, She-She spent the rest of her growing up years relishing life on her parents' North Shelby County farm. Grateful because her parents allowed her to be creative, she drew, painted, and re-purposed no longer used items and she proudly notes that she has carefully saved her very first box of crayons.
While reflecting on her wide range of life experiences, She-She noted, "I probably had fifty jobs in my life." As a young adult, she was hired to run a one person optical shop, where she made, fit, and repaired glasses, and ultimately became a certified optician.
Later, as a training coordinator for a large optical chain, she was based in Pensacola and traveled all over Florida, realizing her dream to live on the beach. That job also allowed her to use her art as she created her own training visual aids, which she described as "flip charts with art."
After joining Toastmasters to improve her job-related public speaking, She-She added motivational speaking to her resume.
She-She came home to help her mother take care of her father when he became critically ill. Needing an occasional outlet from this around the clock caregiving, she "gathered up some junk" and set up a booth at Tannehill Trade Days. From junk she moved into antiques which she sold for several years before venturing into selling her own art.
A mixed bag
of canvases
Today She-She shares her unconventional, unique art and her gentle, open spirit through a mixed bag of canvases. Traveling all over the state in a van decorated with the art of children living at the Spirit of Hope Youth Ranch in Wilsonville, she teaches art in grades one through five and firmly asserts, "I am not an art teacher. I am a teaching artist." Incorporating reading and writing into these activities, she works closely with teachers and school staff.
Once a month for more than 10 years, She-She has visited a nursing home for a "Champagne Art Brunch" where the residents participate in an art activity while enjoying light snacks, coffee, and champagne.
She directs art therapy classes for individuals with mental illness. Corporations hire her to conduct art classes to serve as a reward or therapy for their employees and parents hire her for birthday parties. After breaking up some pieces of pottery for one of her own projects, She-She realized, "We all get to a breaking point — don't we?"
So her newest party was born, the Breaking Point Party, where all participants must wear long pants and she provides goggles and items to smash. The resulting bits and pieces are used in the participants' works of art.
With unwavering faith that almost anything can be used to create She-She art, this energetic, unflappable artist kayaks on the Cahaba River, searching for driftwood she can incorporate into her work. Left over scraps of "critter tin" which her dad attached at the base of the barn to keep unwanted animals out, boards from her storm-damaged deck, and cardboard of all sizes, become the perfect recipients of her creativity.
At her family's request, She-She bought a laptop computer and after giving it away in frustration, deemed the purchase as "the most expensive mistake I ever made." However, she kept the cardboard box and used it to make angels for one of her pieces. Smiling, but serious, she points out, "All my angels don't have wings. They haven't earned them yet."
Discarded doors are a real find for She-She. Certain that "God opened the door to the world of art for me," some of her largest works are made utilizing them. At Black Rock Bistro in downtown Jasper, one of her doors hangs over a pew-like bench she custom painted. This enormous painting of a largemouth bass admonishes, "If you rock the boat, make sure you can swim."
Distinctive pet portraits are also part of She-She's repertoire and she asks the owner three questions before starting one. What is the pet's name and gender? What are its likes and dislikes? If your pet was human, what would its occupation be?
Her classroom work with fourth graders studying Alabama History reconnected She-She to the state symbols. As a result, yellowhammers, racking horses, camellias, and oak leaf hydrangeas often find a niche in her work.
She-She recently discovered five-gallon gasoline cans. She is working on a series with this latest endeavor, gracing one can with her attention-grabbing tomatoes and another with "Lady Liberty" holding the spout rather than her torch.
Fish stories,
fish lessons
Fish appear regularly in her work. She-She explains that these creatures have a special place in her heart for varied reasons, including their spiritual connection, their large numbers in Alabama, which has more freshwater fish species than any other state, and her affection for her home state's lakes and rivers.
Patrons of her work quickly notice that She-She almost always has a barracuda on display in her booth. While her art aptly tells its own story which is personalized by the viewer, She-She eagerly shares her story behind the barracuda. At an art show, in a casual conversation with another female artist She-She did not know well, the other artist made a vicious comment about She-She.
Taking the remark to heart, She-She could not let it go. So she decided to paint in an attempt to move on.
As she began to paint and work through her emotions, She-She recalled, "God took the brush in my hand and he drew a sharp-toothed fish and that was my first barracuda." Characterizing the rest of her story as a "full circle experience," She-She handily sold that first barracuda.
Shortly thereafter, she found her anger and resentment over the initial incident were replaced with sadness and empathy for the artist who must have had significant unhappiness in her life which caused her to lash out at another person without cause or provocation. Typical of her positive outlook, She-She turned an unpleasant episode into a learning experience for herself as well as others.
Staying busy on the farm preparing for the 47 art shows she participates in each year and keeping Birmingham shops such as Homewood Antiques & Marketplace well-supplied with her art, She-She typically has an extensive list of projects in progress. She admits, "I'm not happy unless I'm working on eight things at a time…but it's never just eight…" She-She's well-established Walker County kinship continues to grow. "Sunnyview," her contribution to the Walker County Arts Alliance 50-Mule Team Public Art Project, cheerfully resides at Ridgeview Health Services in Jasper.
On May 12, She-She will once again engage visitors at Art in the Park at Gamble Park. Amidst her boldly portrayed tomatoes, angels, and fish, she will charm her patrons with her fun, yet serious art, her warm, genuine smile, and her appealing willingness to find goodness and blessings in every situation.
Margaret Dabbs is a freelance columnist who resides in Jasper. Her column appears every other Wednesday in the Lifestyles section. Comments and suggestions are welcomed by contacting Dabbs at 387-2890

By Dani Palmer The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Rob Gossage was fighting his way back from homelessness.
John Zahrt had struggled with addiction.
Steven Schuyler had just returned from serving in the Navy.
Bridgette Hudson knew she had to get a degree or she'd never progress in her job.
And Dixie Mullins wanted to accomplish a goal she'd set for herself decades ago.
Each has their own story, and each took to the task of receiving a degree at Anderson University.
"People think of AU as a traditional brick-and-mortar college," Adult Studies Director Ellen Daniels said. But, she added, the university wants to help adults get a higher education, too.
The Department of Adult Studies added seven concentrations to its Integrative Leadership major this year: criminal justice, education, exercise science, human resources, information systems, psychology and Web development. Previously, the department had only business and Christian ministry concentrations.
The added degrees "just open up the door to more possibilities," Daniels said, as the university sees people from all walks of life.
Students who are 25 and older (or nearing their 25th birthday) can take classes in a traditional classroom setting or online. Tuition is two-thirds less than what traditional students pay. AU's adult studies department has about 200 students currently enrolled.
Rob Gossage
Gossage, 50, had taken a year of college after high school, debated going back, but thought he'd gotten too old.
"It seemed like such an uphill climb not worth the effort," he said.
But he accompanied a friend to check out AU's program and decided to give it a try because he "knew education was an important step to getting where I need to go."
Gossage had been staying in a shelter and got back on his feet by starting his own landscaping and home improvement company, God's Truck, with a donated truck. Now he wants to help others and is majoring in Christian ministry.
"I had the experience of being homeless; God wants me to help serve others who are homeless," said Gossage, who will graduate in December.
John Zahrt
Zahrt, 25, had a full ride to Purdue University, where he was in the marching band. But it was a "love-hate" situation.
"I drank away my whole scholarship and got into drugs," he said.
Eventually, Zahrt ended up in treatment, where he "got perspective on how blessed" he actually was. He has been sober for three years now.
"In the back of my head I just wanted to finish," he said. AU was attractive to him because, as his uncle was showing him around, the staff seemed excited for him to attend.
Still taking classes in a traditional college setting, Zahrt has found that attention is more individualized at AU. When he raises his hand, a professor will stop to answer his question.
Steven Schuyler
Schuyler, 24, had just come back to North Carolina after serving a six-year tour in the U.S. Navy and was "going through a really tough time in my life."
He moved to California to go to school for screenwriting. But after just two days of classes, he realized he wasn't where he was "supposed to be." He ended up in Anderson to help out family and was called to ministry.
"The new me didn't think I could be a part of the Hollywood culture," he said.
So he went to AU, a campus with the small-town feel he had in North Carolina, and started classes on the traditional track. He also joined the rugby team, which has provided "camaraderie and brotherhood" similar to what he had in the Navy.
Schuyler will finish his degree in about a year. He has plans to become a chaplain in the Navy.
Bridgette Hudson
Hudson had worked at a nonprofit for about six years when an employee with a master's degree was hired. "She could replace me," Hudson said, so she knew it was time to finish her degree.
She saw a huge billboard and heard something on the radio about AU, so she called.
"When I called, it was like someone held my hand and sat me down in a seat," she said, adding it was a "no-brainer" to her after she had tried other programs.
Hudson would get off work about 5 p.m. and drive from Indianapolis to Anderson for night classes. She also took some online courses to earn a degree in business.
"It was a stretch, but it was worth it," she said, adding she's now starting her own business.
Dixie Mullins
Mullins, 47, started college after high school but dropped out after she got married and had a child.
She said finishing school was a "goal of mine" but that she kept making excuses. "My friend (who went back to school) was like, 'What's your excuse now?'"
Once she called AU, she didn't have to call anywhere else because she just knew it was the right fit. Despite a hectic work load and empty-nest syndrome, she earned a degree in business.

Walgreens: Rolling RRs
Here is what I did with my RRs:
Transaction #1:
1 Gillette Fusion Phenom razor system (this one came with shave cream and body wash!)=8.99
-$2 RR from Tylenol deal
-4/1 MF coupon
Total=2.99 + tax, and I got back a $4 RR!
Transaction #2:
3 Softsoap body washes at 3.49/1=10.47
- $5 RR from Tylenol deal
-2 1/1 MF coupons
-3 1/1 ES coupons
Total=.47 cents + tax, and I got back a $5 RR!
Transaction #3:
1 Jumbo pack of Huggies diapers=9.99
1 232 ct. pack of Huggies wipes=5.99
- $4 RR from Transaction #1
- $ 5 RR from Transaction #2
- 1.50/1 MF coupon
-1/1 any Huggies item MF coupon (recieve in the mail)
=4.48 + tax, and I got back a $3 RR!
You can see my other transactions for the week here and here. I think I will make this my last trip!
So for the week I bought $90.23 worth of merchandise and only spent 25.23 on my gift card and I still have $3 in RR to spend, plus I will get back a $5 rebate for the gillette shampoo I bought. So when you deduct my $3 RR and my $5 rebate, I have only spent $17.23 for $90 worth of stuff! That is over 80% in Savings!!

That is awesome! I have a question for you, though. Let's use the softsoap scenario. You used more coupons than you had items. Is that one of those YMMV things?
I have to always be sure to have at least as many items as I do coupons, or the deal doesn't work. I am always having to find cheap fillers to throw in. This is the case at both of the Walgreens that I shop.

The way I have learned to "trick" the computer is to hand the cashier any RRs I am using first, then my MF coupons and then Walgreens ES coupons... This may not work for every market, but it works at my store. Hope that helps!

So that's how you do it! I will give that a try and let you know what happens. I love the deals you can get at Walgreens, but I sometimes end up with one hellacious headache trying to figure the best scenarios, counting number of items vs coupons, etc... LOL
Thanks for info! I love your blog, btw. It is so nice to have someone in this region posting their deals!

When the almanacs risk testable predictions, they often fail. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicted that the Atlantic corridor would average 47.5 degrees for March 2013, off by nearly four degrees. That might seem like a reasonably good guess, except that anyone with access to historical averages — that is, anyone with an Internet connection — can usually get within a few degrees by sticking near the mean. The almanac's prediction for February was 29 degrees, nine degrees below the actual temperature, and the forecast for January was off by five degrees.
Critics of the almanacs are nearly as old as the almanacs themselves. A forecaster at the U.S. Weather Bureau complained about the almanacs' inaccuracy in 1905, and a Harvard professor did the same in a public address in 1926. But we simply can't let go of the dream of weather omniscience.
Generally speaking, forecasters who make predictions months in advance rely on analog techniques, which means they look for patterns in the current weather, then find similar patterns in prior years. Their predictions are based on what happened in the past. The problem is that this technique has never been shown to work particularly well. The atmosphere is a complicated place, and it's very difficult to say that a single past year, or even a combination of past years, is enough like this year to make accurate predictions.
The National Weather Service relies more on dynamic forecasting. The agency's experts observe the weather systems at work in the atmosphere, then use mathematical and physical models to calculate what will happen next. The technique is far more reliable, but it has its limits.
"We sustain higher accuracy out to two to three days in advance; then it starts dropping off faster at days six through eight," says Louis Uccellini, director of the National Weather Service.

Competition update here .
Trackback party here.
Email someone a direct link to your team's donate button here.
Helpful links on Valour-IT and the competition here.
Lots of great things have been happening for Valour-IT this week. Here's a sample (updated as I think of more):
"The Big Brass" meets Valour-IT: The Secretary of the Army visited Carren and Chuck Ziegenfuss at Walter Reed and is very interested in Valour-IT. His Aide-de-camp gave Chuck and Carren his contact info and said to call if no one contacts Soldiers' Angels within two weeks. The Defense Department and li'l ole me are two concepts that just refuse to mesh in my mind...good thing I've got Chuck to talk to them for us!
Super Supporter: A Vietnam veteran and supporter of Valour-IT has some amazing things planned for us. For the last several years he's put together a Christmas fundraising drive in early November for Support the Troops efforts. This year he is focusing on Valour-IT. As a 30-year employee in his company, he knows just about everyone and everything associated with it. He's been hitting up is coworkers and vendors and will send all donations as a group to us on November 14. He told us he just received his first check from a coworker the other day. It was for $700.
T-shirts are Coming! Really: Soldiers' Angels has offered to buy about 300 T-shirts for us to use as we wish. They are still in development and so may or may not be available as premiums during the fundraising competition. However, we will definitely have them for sale in time for Holiday shopping. UPDATE: Expect to see T-shirts and possibly mugs with Cox and Forkum's Valour-IT cartoon on them very soon.
Possible Partnership: We have been approached by an organization of wounded veterans that solicits charitable donations on behalf of worthy charities. They focus on programs that support wounded veterans and their families, such as the Semper Fi Fund and Wounded Warriors. A Valour-IT supporter met their General Manager at an airshow a few weeks ago, and we are now in contact with them. Stay tuned.
Valour-IT Moves to Fort Lewis: With the funds raised this past week, we are expanding the Valour-IT program to Madigan Regional Medical Center at Ft. Lewis, WA (home of the Strykers and LTC Kurilla). As soon as arrangements are made for their receipt and distribution, ten laptops will be shipped.
A Corporate Sponsor for Valour-IT?: A well-known computer manufacturing company is working out the details on possibly supplying us with as many refurbished laptops as we can use. We've had contacts say things like this before, only to have it fall through, but this one looks like the real deal. Details as soon as it becomes official.
Charlie Mike (Continue the Mission): Though we have met our initial (overly-cautious) fundraising goal, Soldiers' Angels has urged us to continue the competition according to schedule (ending on Veterans Day). Patti Bader assures me that our fundraising is not putting a crimp in donations to the Christmas projects and other activities at SA. More news on this subject later this weekend.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Hockey All Stars
The Gloucester hockey team will be sending four players to the Northeastern Conference All Star Game, which will be held Saturday at Salem State University's Rockett Arena (time TBA).
Four seniors will represent the Fishermen Saturday in senior tri-captains Mike Muniz, Pete Mondello and Alex Webb along with Casey Noyes.
Mondello, Webb and Noyes are the team's top three scorers with 19, 17 and 12 points respectively. Muniz has logged huge minutes as the team's most reliable and experienced defenseman this season.
Gloucester's All Stars will join up with the All Stars from Marblehead, Danvers, Lynn, Revere and Saugus wearing its dark away jerseys while the All Stars from Beverly, Winthrop, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott will team up and wear the home white jerseys.
Sox acquire Carp
The Red Sox acquired outfielder/first baseman Mike Carp in a trade with Seattle Wednesday for a player to be named later or cash. Carp, 26, is expected to compete for a backup job in Boston.
Carp is a left handed hitter with some power hitting 18 home runs in his 173 game career. He was designated for assignment by the Mariners after missing 79 games with a shoulder injury in 2012.
The Red Sox moved Ryan Kalish to the 60 day disabled list to make room for Carp, who is expected to compete for a job with the likes of Daniel Nava and Lyle Overbay.
Celtics sign Williams
The Celtics have signed 25 year old forward Terrance Williams to a 10 day contract after he received his clearance letter from his Chinese League team.
Williams has played most of this season and all of last season in China, he joined the Celtics last night in Los Angeles.
In 129 career games Williams averages 7.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

I like to add peppers, mushrooms and yellow squash. Yummy!
As a mother of two very picky eaters who I struggle to get to eat their veggies. This recipe is going to become a keeper. Every person in my household loved it and it was so quick and easy to prepare. Thank you.
We really enjoyed this dish! Next time I will add more garlic and pepper. It needed a little more flavor, but after some spicy salt we loved it! I will be making this again! Cheap, easy, filling and good!
This was delicious! I used garlic powder instead of a clove as well. It was even tasty the next day. Even my husband, who is not a big veggie fan, enjoyed it.
This was so tasty and economical. I put in peas instead of broccoli and garlic powder instead of a clove. Great recipe.

Oxford United's players feel the pain too
9:00am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Scott Davies says Oxford United's players feel the pain of the side's slump in form just as keenly as their supporters.
A run of one win from nine games has raised the possibility of the U's ending the season empty handed, just weeks after contending for automatic promotion.
They have been in Sky Bet League Two's top seven all season, but the position is now precarious – with just goals scored keeping Gary Waddock's men in the play-off zone.
The tension boiled over on Saturday, when there was a brief confrontation between players and supporters after the 1-0 defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge.
Davies admitted the manner of the result, which came via a freak own goal in the 89th minute, left him feeling as dejected as at any time in his career.
And the midfielder wanted to make it clear the frustration on the terraces was matched within the squad.
He said: "I want everyone to know the lads are absolutely gutted – that's not for show, that's genuine.
"You can see the body language and the boys are absolutely devastated. But there are six games to go and 18 points to play for.
"Hopefully we can turn things round."
He added: "Obviously, the fans are showing their frustration as well.
"You feel for them. We are all in it together and all pulling in the same direction, trying to get into League One."
Davies is part of the significant group of players whose contracts expire this summer.
All talks have been put on hold until the end of the campaign to allow Waddock, the new head coach, time to assess the squad.
There is plenty at stake for the 26-year-old, who said: "With a new manager coming in, everyone wants to do well.
"We want to be successful, people are playing for contracts and when that goal goes in, it's an absolute dagger into our heart."
While the latest setback weakened United's grasp on the play-offs, Davies thought the players would be able to regroup quickly ahead of Saturday's home game against Fleetwood Town.
He said: "We've got positive people around us and the staff are good.
"They will drag us up from the floor and hopefully get us back on a winning run.
"The last thing we need now is negativity around us – that's not going to stand us in good stead.
"We need people showing positivity towards it and hopefully we can be successful."

MiddleBartonYellow wrote:Excellently put, we haven't for many seasons been a goal scoring side and I like many others put that down to Wilders defensive minded methods. Now he has gone its plain to see it has more to do with Lewis and Melville, if Waddock is to succeed then those two have to go, he has to be allowed to bring in his own choices of people to work with and if he fails then it's down to him. It wouldn't be fair to judge him unless he has picked his own back room staff. The players often talk tough on here but then fail on the pitch. It would be better if they let their efforts on the pitch on match day do all their talking for them.
The bottom line is that this team does not score enough goals and is not creative enough which is a bad combination. Also far to many injuries again this season. They are not good enough when it comes down to it.
I can honestly say that I haven't seen a good game up there this season and cant remember a worse season for entertainment.

This Day in Baseball History
On September 2, 1972, Milt Pappas of the Chicago Cubs pitches a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres and comes within one strike of hurling a perfect game. With two outs in the top of the ninth, Pappas runs the count to 1-and-2 on pinch-hitter Larry Stahl, but then throws three consecutive balls. Pappas argues with home plate umpire Bruce Froemming after the last ball, then settles down to retire pinch-hitter Garry Jestadt on a lazy pop-up. The Cubs win the game, 8-0.

Major League bats plate five before wild finish
Feliz goes five vs. AL West foes as Rangers' spring skid hits five
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Jack Cust launched a solo homer in the 10th inning, his second of the game, capping a wild final three frames in the Mariners' 9-8 victory Saturday over the Rangers at Surprise Stadium.Trailing by four runs in the eighth, Adam Kennedy hit his second Cactus League homer for the Mariners off Darren O'Day -- a blast that was immediately followed by consecutive solo shots from Mike Wilson and Cust to knot the score at 6. Omar Quintanilla, a University of Texas product who was signed by the Rangers in the offseason, broke the deadlock with a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth. The Mariners tied it when Luis Rodriguez scored on a wild pitch and Steven Baron singled home Michael Saunders in the ninth.

text: Maddening. Frustrating. Culture of losing highlighted. Call it what you will: Bengals fans pissed off again for another miserably sloppy quarter (second) during a must-win game. Six penalties, two turnovers, no pass rush and a terrible offensive line performance in the first half. Bengals will get the ball in the second half.


text: This cruise had multiple embarkation ports and we found this rather disconcerting, people leaving and joining most days, safety drill each afternoon for the new arrivals. Previous cruises have had a more coherent feel.FunBut, on the plus side - we had a ball! The cruise director, Mercedes Lafuente, a charismatic young woman from Argentina really got people involved in the fun. She had a good staff supporting her but she seemed to be around all day every day. I think Royal Caribbean have struck gold here.The live entertainment was of a high quality, varied and abundant. The ship's band were really professional and slick. A good brass section, well rehearsed. On the pool deck each afternoon were a reggae outfit called "The Dynamic Duo" - and they were - dynamic. They took requests and played for hours.GamesEvery day there were poolside games for kids and bigger kids (adults!), every evening there were "game show" type games in the Atrium. A bog Wow! factor in the Legend of the Seas is the aerialists who perform in the Atrium - has to be seen to be believed. ) I think they have a short video clip on the Royal Caribbean website.)AccommodationOur stateroom was on Deck 2. Our travel agent is very knowledgeable on cruise ships and he recommended this deck. Our room was quiet, away from stairs and lifts and carefully maintained by our cabin steward Mariana. She was just the right mixture of friendliness and discretion.DiningWe were allocated "My Time" dining in the Romeo and Juliet restaurant. We were put on a shared table the first night which didn't work well since we were the only English speakers at the table! The service was a bit chaotic so we chose to eat in the Windjammer the next night. The food was good, plenty variety of hot and cold dishes. The salad bar was really fresh. The next night we returned to Romeo and Juliet and asked for a table for two. This proved to be a much better experience than the first night. The service was excellent and the food was beautifully prepared and presented. We ate breakfast and lunch each day in the Windjammer, a busy buffet restaurant but with a big staff on duty replenishing the buffet continuously. Even on the busiest days we found a table inside or out on the pool deck, no problem.On our last night we pushed the boat out (pardon the pun!) and ate in Chops Grille on the 11th floor. This carries a supplement of $30 per head - but it was worth every cent. We had a splendid view of Genoa as we sailed away, the restaurant was lavishly furnished and the waiting staff were knowledgeable on menu and attentive. We both chose filet mignon for our main course and I don't think I've ever tasted better steak!CasinoOnly downside to the casino is that smoking is allowed! This really irritated me, one of those annoying ex-smokers! But we had great fun playing Blackjack. The dealers seemed to be rooting for us, and giving us advice. I always thought Blackjack was such a serious game - but not on Legend. People were whooping and cheering when they won, commiserating loudly with each other when they lost.PortsWe travelled independently and used shuttle buses at most ports. The excursions were, in my opinion, overpriced. We had chosen a cruise as we wanted a relaxed break in the sun so we weren't looking to experience all that the ports of call had to offer. We managed to stray into the Red Light district in Genoa but the "girls" just smiled as we (2 women in their late 50s) speeded up when we realised our mistake!Cruise CompassThis is the information leaflet detailing the days activities and info on the port of call, delivered to your stateroom the night before each port. Comprehensive and easy to follow, helped us plan the days activities.DisembarkationAs I said we were travelling independently. Unfortunately neither the staff on "Shore Excursions" desk nor the "Guest Services" staff were able or keen to help us manage our disembarkation. We asked about Left Luggage facilities at the port, local transport, airport buses but at each desk we were referred to the other desk. I think this is an area Royal Caribbean need to improve on if they are to have multiple joining ports

If 27-year old middleweight Anthony Johnson needed any additional motivation entering his bout at UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes against decorated veteran Vitor Belfort he apparently received it earlier this week when the organization debuted the event's UFC Countdown special. As viewers may remember, one of the topics Johnson touched down during his segment with Belfort pertained to a message his grandfather had given him shortly before his death.
"In one of the clips, Vitor said that we're gonna see a lion January 14," Johnson explained in an interview with the UFC's website. "Well, that's the one thing my granddad told me right before he passed. The week he passed, he said to fight like I'm fighting a lion across the cage. When I heard that from Vitor's mouth, I said thank you. I've been waiting on this lion a long time."
While some may dismiss the situation as a strange coincidence, Johnson hadn't even specifically planned a move up to middleweight until Belfort's name came along.
"To me, any time would have been the right time. The UFC presented me with the chance to fight Vitor, so why not? You don't really get many opportunities in life, and when you do, you need to take them."
"I just saw it as a great opportunity for me, and right now, I'm fighting at 185, so my focus is there," he continued. "(Welterweight) hasn't really popped into my head at all. After the fight I don't know what I'm gonna think, but right now, I haven't thought about going back down or doing anything else except fighting."
As far the as one of the biggest differences between entering the Octagon as a middleweight rather than at 170 pounds where Johnson's previous pairings occurred?
"Yeah, I'm not hungry," Johnson joked.
Fans can catch Johnson-Belfort in co-headlining action on Saturday night at UFC 142. The show is headlined by a featherweight title-defense by 145-pound champion Jose Aldo who will put his belt on the line against undefeated wrestler Chad Mendes.
MMATraining Take: I noticed the "lion" comments too during the Countdown special and thought it was definitely interesting. I'm not saying this fight was Johnson's fate but it sure seems that way on the surface.
