Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista left the game against the Orioles in the third inning with discomfort in his left wrist, the same one he sprained over a month ago (July 16) against the Yankees.
Due to Bautista's departure, Mike McCoy moved over to right field and Colby Rasmus took center field.
Bautista left game with "left wrist discomfort," according to press-box announcement. That's obviously the same wrist he sprained.— Brendan Kennedy (@BKennedyStar) August 26, 2012
The Blue Jays and Orioles were tied 2-2 through the first three innings, with Toronto striking first in the opening inning when they scored on an Edwin Encarnacion two-run homer deep to left field, which scored Bautista, who was walked.
We will have more on the Bautista injury as the details come in.

Dilyana Ivanova (ABF Program Assistant, Anthropology Department of The Field Museum) returned from a trip in Bulgaria where she presented a lecture at the American Research Center in Sofia on September 27, 2012. The topic of the lecture was "Memory about Public Entertainment in Bulgaria during Socialism (1944-1989)." Ivanova discussed the forms of celebration during socialism in the town of Rousse, Bulgaria, and memory of them in Bulgarian post-socialst society.
Ivanova and Dr. Emil Nankov (ARCS Archaeological Program Officer) visited the museums in Bulgaria funded through the ABF-sponsored SPCME program in 2012: the Archaeological Museum – Septemvri (funded for the project entitled, "Pistiros Exposition Hall – Presentation and Socialization of Cultural Artifact"), the Archaeological Museum in Varna (project entitled, "Museum for Small and Grown-up"), the Historical Museum in Balchik (project entitled, "Conservation, Restoration, and Exhibition of Stone Architectural Elements and Pieces of Inventory of the Temple of the Pontic Mother of Gods in the Greek Colony Dionysopolis"), and finally the Archaeological Museum of Silistra (project entitled, "Revivification of the Ancient Durostorum in the Archaeological Мuseum –Silistra"). These museums just recently began working on their projects, and they are still in the process of remodeling and preparing the museum facilities for the next stage of the various projects.
Ivanova and Nankov also visited the Historical Museum in Kazanlak "Iskra" (awarded in 2011 for the project entitled, "Preservation and Enhancement of the Antiquity Collection of Museum of History "Iskra", Kazanlak"). The project was just recently finalized with a temporary exhibit of the restored artifacts from the antiquity storage facility. The project is an example of how neglected and forgotten collections can be restored and presented to the community.

Seattle-based Rhapsody recently launched SongMatch, an Android app that mimics Shazam and allows users to identify music in seconds. But unlike Shazam, users can listen to and download songs provided that they have Rhapsody's existing $9.99/month or $14.99/month plans. It's an interesting way to… Read More

A wildland fire blackened five acres near the Perris-area community of Good Hope where crews contained the flames in about 90 minutes, say Riverside County Fire Department officials.
The blaze was reported at 1:38 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17, near Christmas Tree Lane and Santa Rosa Mine Road. Some homes were evacuated before the fire was contained at 3:15 p.m.
The crews of nine fire engines and a ladder truck were dispatched to the sparsely settled area along with two hand crews, two bulldozers, two air tankers and a water-dropping helicopter.
During the blaze, officials estimated the fire's size at 10 acres but mapping later pegged it at half that size.
No one was hurt. And no buildings were damaged

Products from the Gorjuss Santoro range are incredibly desirable - the branding and quality of the range is superb. The character featured on the designs is very likeable and is a huge part of the appeal, giving the Gorjuss range a collectable feel as well.
Started in 1983 by Lucio and Meera, Santoro has gone from strength to strength recognised as an internationally acclaimed brand.
For any current fan of Santoro Gorjuss products, anything from our range here at Saswa would make a wonderful gift. And if you're buying for someone who hasn't yet discovered the charms of Gorjuss, why not get them involved today?..

Teachers union questions furlough days
Original post made on May 28, 2009

Did the teachers not do what they were asked to? In a word - NO!!! No, the best thing for kids is good teachers, not ones who are "honored and happy." What a bunch of self-congratulators. Who demands to be honored? I don't honor most teachers. I think most are pretty lame frankly. A lot of people agree. Sorry
on May 29, 2009 at 7:27 am
Happy and honored? What!?! While I think we can all agree that the job of a teacher is vitally important, teachers (like most everyone else) are ultimately employees. It's ridiculous that in these times of extreme financial hardship, SRVUSD and other districts have to deal with people like Darren Day. If the district needs to implement lay-off days, so be it. I don't recall my employer asking me for my feedback when my company recently closed it's doors for two weeks to cut costs.
on May 29, 2009 at 7:58 am
The entire district "don't get it". What a surprise, we're in an economic slowdown! Where were these "trustees" 6 months ago, 12 months ago? Where were the teachers "stepping up to the plate" and volunteering to make the sacrifice "for the children"? They are using their "Imagination" that the money will fall from the trees. If the "trustees" had been doing their job, they would have initiated cutbacks that counted then. NOT when the crisis was upon us. What a bunch of "uneducated" or perhaps "over educated" educators! They just don't have a clue! Every aspect of the district MUST take cutbacks, The board, the supervisor, the entire administrative staff and network, AND teachers. From top to bottom. Any hestation of support for these cutback by any of the parties involved, including the UNION will show where their true colors are. Educating students, or protecting themselves. What a sorry lot.

|GIVE to the Real Butter Fund
submit your film
Thank you for considering the Wisconsin Film Festival. The Festival welcomes narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated films or videos of any length. Films must have a Wisconsin connection; this is explained below.
Note: The Wisconsin Film Festival does not use third-party submission services like Withoutabox.
Wisconsin's Own (a juried competition for the Golden Badger awards)
For filmmakers with "Wisconsin ties," which is defined as either:
There are gray areas. This category's intention is to celebrate films that reflect the creative spirit of our state, so please bear this in mind as you determine whether this category applies to you. A musical film with a prominent and significant original soundtrack written by a Wisconsin resident is a good candidate; a film with a song by a band with a drummer whose grandparents live in Wisconsin is not.
The Festival reserves the right to verify Wisconsin ties for any submission.
Wisconsin's Own Student (a juried competition for the Golden Badger awards)
This is essentially the same category as "Wisconsin's Own," but specifically for students at Wisconsin colleges or universities, or Wisconsin residents attending college/university in other states. There is a smaller entry fee, and a later deadline. You must meet the same criteria for Wisconsin ties, as described above. Student status applies to the primary director/filmmaker only, not to other members of the cast and crew. It also applies to the time when the film was made. If you made a short film when you were a student, and have now graduated, you may submit that film in this student category. Films do not need to be class projects to qualify.
Each student film entry must include a photocopy of the primary filmmaker's student ID. The Festival reserves the right to verify student status, film completion dates, or Wisconsin ties for any entrant.
About the festival
Some festivals rely entirely on submissions for their titles. Others are entirely curated and
programmed without a request for submissions. A portion of the Wisconsin Film Festival
program always comes from the submission process, as part of a commitment to showcasing
emerging talent.
What prizes can I win?
A big part of the success of the Wisconsin Film Festival has been supporting the notion that
there is merit in all films in the program. Our goal is to expand people's understanding and
acceptance of what makes a good movie, not to narrow it by selecting the "best" ones. Limiting
the prizes to audience selected awards and to awards for Wisconsin's Own films means that we
can balance the wish to support our local filmmakers with showing the respect and affection that
we feel for every single film that in the final program.
Cash prizes are given to films in the Wisconsin's Own categories (for example in 2013, $250 for
each recipient of the Golden Badger award) to help promote filmmaking in the state. And the
audience votes for their favorite narrative and documentary feature films (Steep & Brew
Audience Award).
2014 submission guidelines
The Submission Process
Partial or incomplete entries cannot be accepted, so please double-check that you have included everything required,especially if it's close to the submission deadline.
Contact person One person should be designated as the contact for each entry. The Festival handles hundreds of submissions and can only successfully work with one contact per film. The contact need not be the director, but should be authorized to submit the work, supply information as described on the entry form, and speak on behalf of the film. All necessary rights and permissions for festival exhibition of each work submitted is the responsibility of the film production.
This festival does not require elaborate submissions materials. However, although the online entry form is convenient in many ways, it doesn't retain any formatting for blocks of text. You may also choose to include longer (or more nicely formatted) versions of the material in the online entry form, e.g., film synopsis, list of principle cast and crew, and filmmaker bios. Press kits are not required at the submission stage. If your film is accepted, then we'll ask for more.
Eligible Films
Narrative, documentary, experimental, or animated work of any length. Your film must have been completed after January 1, 2012.
Films shown in other festivals, in limited noncommercial exhibition, or at cast/crew screenings are eligible. Programming preference is given to films without significant exposure in Wisconsin theatrical and broadcast markets prior to the Festival. It's fine — awesome, really — if your film has played at other film festivals in Wisconsin or in the Midwest.
The Wisconsin Film Festival does not insist upon any premiere status.
Although rough cuts can be submitted, very rough films are harder to evaluate. Only you can be the judge of how well your current version reflects the final quality of your work. Programming decisions are final, so please think twice before sending an incomplete project.
[Rough cuts] "Rough cuts," "temp prints," "temp/scratch music," etc. can be accepted as submission entries. However, since the Festival does not accept films that have been submitted in previous years (see #2 of the list below), sending in a rough cut would count as the film's single eligible submission time. If you don't feel that your current cut of the film is sufficient for Festival programmers to make a final decision, then please wait until the film is complete and submit for next year's Festival.
Please list directly on the DVD case (tape a note to the case, or some other equivalent method) which elements of your film are missing.
Rough cuts may be submitted as long as you are confident that you will have locked and finished your film in time for work with the Festival programming schedule.
You can submit more than one film, as long as each work meets the applicable criteria. Each film must be on a separate DVD. Multiple entries can be mailed together in the same envelope.
The Festival will not consider:
Submission Formats
It's okay to keep your submission materials simple. It's what's onscreen that matters. There's no need to create an elaborate marketing package. A plain white paper sleeve is as good as anything else (as long as you pack it securely for mailing). Put your energy and money into your crew, your other festival submissions, or your next film.
Submissions must be on DVD; either NTSC or PAL. At this time, submissions are not
Please master in the conventional DVD-Video format (a VIDEO_TS folder with .IFO, .BUP, and .VOB files). Please do not submit an .AVI, .MOV, or other video file which has simply been burned onto a DVD disc.
Make sure your DVD is not blank and does not freeze or skip. Please take the time to play it and watch it all the way through on a different player than you used to burn it. We have lots of different versatile playback devices here, but we can't watch something that's incompletely written to disc. If your DVD is unplayable, we will contact you for a replacement.
Label your DVD with the title of the film, approximate run time, the director's name, and the name of the contact person if it's different than the director. Please make sure it's easy to identify the title of your film.
If you are submitting more than one work, please use a separate DVD for each entry. Multiple entries can be mailed together in the same envelope.
Any "making of," deleted scenes, and other extra sequences are not considered part of the submission and will not be watched.
[Formats to show at the Festival] If your film is selected, we'll ask at that time which format(s) you'll have available to show at the Festival. Programmers will determine which format will work best to match your film with the right theater and program. The Festival does not project films or videos from computer files.
The Golden Badgers
The Wisconsin's Own films are reviewed by Festival programmers and a jury. The jurors are generally filmmakers, film industry professionals, critics, or curators who have a commitment to supporting regional filmmakers and film culture in Wisconsin. Often, jurors have Wisconsin roots or are UW–Madison alumni.
The jurors award prizes called "Golden Badgers" to films that show significant technical and artistic achievement. (Why are they named after badgers?)
Cash prizes are awarded, with amounts depending on the number of awards given (in 2013, $250 for each recipient).
By submitting your film to the Festival, you must agree to the final decisions made by the juries.
There is only a single deadline for each category — no "early bird" or expensive "last chance"
After the online entry form is completed, an automated email is generated for the contact person. When we receive and your mailed DVD and confirm your complete submission, we'll send another confirmation note.
All contact people will be notified of their film's status (accepted or not accepted into the Festival) no later than February 15, 2014.
Entry Fees
Feature films (60 minutes or more): $45
Please pay in U.S. funds by check (payable to "Wisconsin Film Festival"), money order, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards. There is a $20 fee for any check returned by your bank as unpaid or insufficient funds.
Filmmakers paying the student rate must include a photocopy of their valid student ID.
Contact Info
Please channel communications with the Festival through your contact person designated on the entry form.

later than February 15, 2014.
We'll send you more information about what's required at that point, including at least one still photo from the film and photos of the filmmakers. The Festival's print traffic coordinator will make arrangements for getting the final exhibition version of your film.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich injured his ribs against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and will now miss Pittsburgh's next game, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Leftwich reportedly injured his ribs during the first quarter on Sunday, but still played the rest of the game. A report from ESPN's Chris Mortensen said Leftwich fractured two ribs. He played on Sunday in relief of Ben Roethlisberger, who was out with rib and shoulder injuries. Leftwich completed 18 of 39 passes for 201 yards against the Ravens.
The injury appeared to limit Leftwich, as he missed badly on several throws late in the game. He was seen wincing and grabbing his ribs on multiple occasions. Sunday was Leftwich's first start since the 2009 season.
With Leftwich out and Roethlisberger's status still unknown, Charlie Batch is expected to start for Pittsburgh on Sunday when the Steelers face the Cleveland Browns. It will be Batch's first start since the 2011 season.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Transportation leaders have hopes that new ramp meters could improve traffic on Interstate 285.
The state department approved a contract to install six ramp meters along the heavily traveled perimeter at a cost of $553,000.
The new locations include north and southbound ramps from Lawrenceville Highway and Memorial Drive in DeKalb County as well as the southbound entrance ramps to the Buford Highway Connector from Piedmont Road and Armour Drive in Fulton County.
The traffic device has been in place at many Gwinnett locations along Interstate 85 for several years, most recently installed at Highway 20 near the Mall of Georgia.
"While ramp meters appear to have slightly helped with some congestion relief along I-85, the ramp meters have certainly increased congestion during peak hours on the collector corridors leading to the interstate such as Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Indian Trail Road," said Chuck Warbington, the executive director of the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District that includes those areas. "Limiting the amount of vehicles to enter the interstate during peak hours, is something that we have had to address (in) all of the improvements in our CID."

Blowing money just to make it look like the DOT is doing something good.
Why_not 1 year, 5 months ago
It's obvious that the metered ramps help with merging during heavy rush-hour traffic.
R 1 year, 5 months ago
They sure do...
Next up "metered" right travel lanes, so gaps are created for the metered on-ramp traffic...
After all that money and all our expensive vehicles, we still can't learn how to just alternate, or as a fifth grader might say "Just take turns!"

It would seem that there are some that skipped the sharing class in fifth grade. It's always them first and to heck with everyone else.

Work underway on £8m housing complex in Winchester (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Work underway on £8m housing complex in Winchester
3:00pm Sunday 19th January 2014 in News
WORK is underway on an £8m housing complex in Winchester.
Last year city councillors approved plans for 14 homes at the former Peugeot garage on St Cross Road, with former housing boss, Cllr Ian Tait, welcoming the development as a "landmark" building for the city.
The Bargate Homes project is slated for completion by summer 2015 and was funded in part by a loan from NatWest.
Managing director of Bargate Homes, Angus Cook, approached Ian Cooke of NatWest for assistance with funding and agreed on a property development loan of £4.7m.
The 2,700sq metre site previously comprised several commercial premises, including a Peugeot garage and a furniture store.
It also includes a former 19th century coach house which will be converted into two family homes, while a new four-storey building will provide nine flats, alongside a newly-built terrace of three four-bedroom houses.
Planning officers argued that demolition of commercial buildings in favour of new homes would clash with council policy, but in July councillors voted the application through.
Mr Cook said: "Ian at NatWest has been extremely supportive and, through what have been fairly horrific times for the property industry, the bank has continued to support us."
Mr Cooke, a relationship director at the bank, said: "Bargate has gone from strength to strength and as well as building beautiful homes, the company has created local jobs and will make a significant contribution to the local economy. We're delighted to have supported this project."

I was very happy with the way Dr. Clark presented his diagnosis and outlined the options taking into account my age, lifestyle, etc. I ended up having surgery, which he performed, and was quite happy with the outcome and the follow-up treatment. I had many, many questions and he patiently and thoughtfully answered all of them.

Stribild is a tablet that contains three drugs used to fight HIV: emtricitabine (Emtriva, see Fact Sheet 420), tenofovir (Viread, see Fact Sheet 419), and elvitegravir (see Fact Sheet 472), plus cobicistat, which boosts blood levels of elvitegravir but does not directly work against HIV.
Stribild is the third once-daily tablet that includes a complete antiretroviral regimen. The first two were Complera (see Fact Sheet 438) and Atripla (see Fact Sheet 439.)
The drugs in Stribild are an integrase inhibitor (elvitegravir, 150 mg) paired with a new booster, cobicistat (150 mg.) They are combined with two nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors, or nukes (emtricitabine, 200 mg and tenofovir, 300 mg).
When HIV infects a cell, it combines its genetic code into the cell's own code. This is shown in fact sheet 400, step 5. Elvitegravir blocks this process. When elvitegravir blocks integration, HIV infects a cell but cannot make more copies of itself. Cobicistat is a booster. It increases the blood levels of elvitegravir. It does not directly work against HIV.
Stribild was approved in 2012 as an ARV for adults with HIV infection who have not yet taken any antiretroviral drugs. The FDA is requiring Gilead to study the drug's safety in women and children. People with liver or kidney problems may not be able to take Stribild.
There are no absolute rules about when to start antiretroviral therapy (ART). You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
If you take Stribild, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
Stribild provides a complete antiviral regimen in one pill. It can be more convenient to use Stribild than some other combinations of drugs. This could mean fewer missed doses and better control of HIV.
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance." It is likely that HIV that has developed resistance to raltegravir (see Fact Sheet 471) will also be resistant to elvitegravir.
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
Stribild is taken by mouth as a tablet. The normal adult dose is one tablet, once a day with food. If you miss your dose, you can take Stribild up to 12 hours late. Otherwise, take your next dose at the regular time. Take Stribild and antacids at least 2 hours apart.
When you start any ART, you may have temporary side effects such as headaches, high blood pressure, or a general sense of feeling ill. These side effects usually get better or disappear over time.
The most common side effects of Stribild are the same as with the drugs it contains: elvitegravir (see Fact Sheet 472), emtricitabine (see Fact Sheet 420), and tenofovir (see Fact Sheet 419). They include headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, vivid dreams, anxiety, rash, dizziness, insomnia, and loss of appetite.
Tenofovir can cause kidney damage. Creatinine levels should be monitored in people taking tenofovir. Tenofovir can also damage the liver. People taking tenofovir should have their liver health monitored. Tenofovir can reduce bone mineral density (see Fact Sheet 557).
Lactic acidosis (see Fact Sheet 556) swelling of the liver have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including tenofovir.
Stribild is not approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Severe worsening of hepatitis B has been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have stopped Emtriva or Viread, which are components of Stribild. If you have had hepatitis B or C, your liver function tests may increase significantly. These should be monitored carefully.
Stribild can interact with other drugs or supplements you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
Gilead will conduct additional studies of Stribild's safety in women and children, how resistance develops, and the possibility of interactions between Stribild and other drugs. Drugs to watch out for include other ARVs, drugs to treat tuberculosis (see Fact Sheet 518), for erectile dysfunction (such as Viagra), for heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics), and for migraine headaches. Interactions are also possible with several antihistamines (allergy medications), sedatives, drugs to lower cholesterol, and anti-fungal drugs.
The herb St. John's Wort (See Fact Sheet 729) lowers the blood levels of some non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Do not take it with Stribild.

The winds of change for public education are blowing.
After years of unrealistic goals, unfunded mandates, and a punitive approach to education, few feel the federal government has a clue as to what is best for our children. Couple this with the great recession and a state government that has traditionally only paid lip service to fully funding education, and it is easily understood why educators, parents and communities at large are demanding changes to education that include returning more control of education to the local level.
The call for reform is coming from multiple sources. The common core, which has national implications, promises a new approach to curriculum that focuses on critical and creative thinking as opposed to a bubble-test driven curriculum. Gov. Jerry Brown's new education funding method, called the "Local Control Funding Formula," although not adding new money to the system, aims at directing more resources to the neediest California students and gives local school districts more control over how they prioritize spending.
Another aspect of this formula is a requirement that local education planning include teachers, parents and the general public in its goal setting process.
The Santa Rosa City Schools Board of Education along with its superintendent met several times over the summer for the purpose of developing a strategic plan for Santa Rosa City Schools. The purpose of this plan is to move our district in coherent and purposeful direction over the next several years. The plan, which is in its public input stage, is asking teachers, parents and the community at large for their thoughts.
Strategic planning serves a dual purpose. First, it updates the districts goals and priorities. This also dovetails with the new requirements of the governor's funding formula. A critical difference from the past practice of developing a strategic plan is the focus on inclusiveness. The input of teachers, staff, parents and the community is critical to the development of a successful district strategic plan.

Kudos for Vt. from New England Journal of MedicineBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | April 05,2013MONTPELIER An article in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine is praising Vermonts efforts to redesign its health care system, saying Vermont can serve as a model for other states.
Vermont is progressive, said the studys author, Dr. Laura Grubb, also a fellow in adolescent medicine at the University of Texas Medical School. They didnt wait until each step of the Affordable Care Act had to be implemented. They voted on their own state-based reform system.
Much of the energy behind Vermonts efforts to implement the 2010 federal law actually has been directed at a more ambitious goal. Gov. Peter Shumlin and his fellow Democrats who control the Legislature have put Vermont on a path to move as close as it can to a Canadian-style, single-payer health care system by 2017.
The federal law calls for states to set up regulated health insurance marketplaces, called exchanges. Vermont has been eagerly setting up its exchange, in hopes of using it as a springboard for the single-payer system. State lawmakers passed legislation in 2011 to set itself on a two-stop journey to set up the exchange in 2014 and the single-payer system in 2017.
Shumlin, who has championed the changes to Vermonts health care system, said the state should be proud to be a leader in implementing the federal law.
We are pleased to gain recognition of our path to single payer health care and our Vermont-style solutions in the New England Journal of Medicine, he said.
Grubb, a medical doctor pursuing a masters degree in public health policy, highlighted four areas in which states would do well to follow Vermonts example.
She noted:
The creation of a centralized board the Green Mountain Care Board to coordinate efforts to retool the states health care system and set up what will be called the Green Mountain Care system by 2017.
The inclusion of people, called stakeholders, who will be affected by health policy in its development.
An aggressive approach to setting up the exchange, getting started even before last years Supreme Court decision upholding the law and before President Barack Obamas re-election, which helped ensure the continuity of the federal effort.
Attracting federal funds to help the state effort to implement the changes. The second-smallest state by population, Vermont ranks fifth in the country in attracting federal funds to support health care efforts.
The Green Mountain Care Board set up a 64-member advisory group of physicians, dentists, physical and occupational therapists and naturopathic doctors. It also set up a 24-member advisory group of mental health and substance abuse professionals to help guide its work.
The engagement of such stakeholders has facilitated a smoother transition to large-scale reform, Grubb wrote.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs the children of former U.S. Sen.

Kiwanis Club members and Andover High students who have joined the new Key Club at the school helped get the Captain George L. Street Bridge ready for Veterans Day.
On Saturday, Nov. 3 they brought brooms and enthusiasm to the Greenwood Road bridge overlooking Route 495 to give it its annual cleaning.
Every year, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Lawrence organizes this kind of event to coincide with Veterans Day. This was the fifth year it cleaned up the George L. Street Bridge.
Street, who served in the Navy for 29 years, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military honor, while commanding the submarine USS Tirante during World War II. He was the recipient of the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars and a Presidential Unit Citation recognizing the entire crew of the Tirante.
His Pacific exploits inspired the 1958 movie, "Run Silent, Run Deep," which starred Clark Gable. The movie was based on a novel by Edmund "Ned" Beach, Street's executive officer on the Tirante.
Street lived in Andover for 30 years, until his death in 2000 at the age of 86.
Helping with the clean-up Saturday were members of newly formed Andover High School Key Club Alex O'Rourke, Emily Wilson, Amy Bordogna, Rachel Major and Keara McCartney.
