Augusta County is adding 24/7 ambulance service, station by station, all over the county. It's part of a major upgrade in fire and rescue coverage, largely thanks to state and federal grant money.
People who live in communities like Greenville, Middlebrook and Mint Spring can now expect a quicker response to emergency medical calls.
This week the Riverheads Fire and Rescue station launched around-the-clock ambulance service. A completely refurbished and outfitted ambulance has Riverheads Fire and Rescue ready to respond to medical calls.
But the vehicle, and the men and women who use it, are equipped for just about anything. "The trucks are set up to run both medical calls and fire calls. So the guys can do either thing - either type of skill when they get to the scene," said Deputy Chief of Augusta Fire and Rescue Mike Armstrong.
"It's a good marriage between the two, that we get to do both of what we love and what we signed up to do to begin with," said Chris Moyer of Augusta Fire and Rescue.
Medics from the Augusta County Fire Department rotate shifts at the Riverheads station to offer 24/7 rescue service to the south-central part of the county. They'll work side by side with volunteer firefighters who opened "Company 25" just two years ago.
"They needed some additional response up here, and every time we go on a call that's one of the first things we hear, is 'we're really happy you're here... can't believe you got here this fast,'" said Jeremy McNeal of Riverheads Fire and Rescue.
While the full-time, paid rescue responders aim to take some of the burden off volunteers, they can also help train them.
"Some have expressed interest in possibly wanting to ride on the ambulance. They can ride with us, they can get their EMS skills if they want to," said Moyer.
The Riverheads squad follows the December launch of ambulance service in Fishersville. Next up is Weyers Cave, which will handle rescue calls in Augusta and Rockingham.
"We're kind of re-drawing those lines, if you want to call it that, to make sure we're making the most of each other's resources," said Armstrong.
That service is in its final planning stages, and should launch in the next few months. The added staffing for Augusta County's Fire and Rescue upgrades comes from a $2 million federal grant. State grant money is helping the county buy and equip the ambulances.

Dragon Air: Not exactly Paradise on WingsPosted Thursday, March 5, 2009, at 5:43 AM
Oh yes.
So you can understand how I scoffed at people when they told me that I shouldn't go to China. "It's a Communist country!" they would say, "you'll die and never come back!" Despite all of these radical comments -- I went.
Now all of those same people are asking me to describe the place upon my safe travels back. Apparently amazed that I'm back in one piece, I'm incapable of truly describing anything substantially. Everything from the cracks in the buildings (which are more numerous) to the sheer noise pollution I experience on a daily basis are both abstract and foreign to those who reside in the place I would call home.
I remember pacing around Hong Kong airport for about 12 hours. I walked or, more correctly, rode; the flat escalators to each end and back. At one point I tried to go into the business areas of the lofty Marco Polo and Cathay Pacific only to be refused for not having a membership. It isn't like anyone was actually using the showers. Sheesh.
The first time I noticed some things were not quite right was when I was boarding the plane. Sure, the international flight had amazingly attractive stewardesses in cute uniforms rather than frumpy old ladies in drag but this was horrifyingly new. The entire plane cabin had a glow of yellow lighting which seemed oddly terrifying in its poor quality. The tops of the cabin had air conditioners puffing smoke out to cool the passengers rather than air conditioners which went unnoticed. I couldn't fit into the seats. And all around me, Chinese people were staring at me. Disturbingly so.
A middle aged woman with a child like curiosity turned around in the seat in front of me and stared at me. I noticed her sparkling eyes and wrinkled forehead with long coarse hair dangling down. She didn't pop up above the seat further than eye level but she seemed genuinely interested in just staring at me. The other passengers did as well but not as obviously. It was a truly mystifying experience. Why are they staring at me? Is my hair sticking up? Do the black rings around my eyes show? Do they see a red "S" on my chest?
After feelings of what only seemed like awkwardness and shyness mixed together subsided I realized that the seat I was in was small and finding the seat belt was such a chore that I became tired. My seat was an aisle seat. I don't know if any of you are the "big ones" in the group but apparently Chinese airplanes aren't made for "husky" people -- mid-range is probably a stretch as well. I had to get up twice to let my new elderly Chinese friends in the seat next to me thus having to search around for the seatbelts several more times than I wanted. Buckling up was about the same difficulty as steering the plane with my mind.
Chaos ensues - Chaos which I generally only attribute to China. Gone are the hushed whispers of small-talk which I'm generally used to in civilized planes. It is replaced with deafening chatter and screaming. It seems like everyone on the plane knows each other. How could so many family members be in one place at the same time? Are they going to a family reunion or some sort of baseball tournament? That's big here, I thought. Apparently this is how new people create small-talk in China, by deafeningly shouting to and fro. This is not good for my sleep cycle.
Matters only become worse later as we start to play music chairs. The gentleman next to me wants to sit with his "sister" who is still staring at me in front. He gets out, which means I have to unbuckle my seatbelt for the 4th time and get out of my seat. The lady next to him agrees with him and moves to another place in the plane, but only after I've fumbled with my seatbelt for another 10 minutes. My suffering is enjoyable to them, somehow. The foreigner who sits in the seat much like a baby cocooned in a car seat. Finally I am alone with 2 other seats to my left. At least I can wave my arms around without striking an ancient diabetic.
Although this plane ride was one of the most annoying I've ever taken, it was a terrific introduction into the inner workings of Chinese society and all was not a total loss as I did learn one thing from my Chinese English-speaking grandfather,. "Shuai." The Chinese word for handsome. At least I got an ego boost.

I have heard that China is actually very receptive to Americans traveling there and living there. Did you find this to be true?

Almost 99% of the time, yes. America is #1 in their minds, their goal, if you will :)

Antoher question if you don't mind.
The dollar is still fairly respectable there, right? I heard that you could actually live in China for about 400-500 hundred bucks a month. Is that true?
Thanks, and I sure would like to hear more about your travels there.

If you want lengthy responses and are interested in traveling here, look me up on msn. firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'll be able to give you a lot more information that way.

Your experiences seem very different from mine and I have traveled to China many times. One would assume that Chinese Airlines would have smaller seats since Chinese people are smaller due to genetics, social norms, and diet. However, having flied with both United and Air China, I have found that Air China's seats are wider and more comfortable that United's seats. I agree with you on the stewardesses. They are both more beautiful, and more attentive to your wants and needs. Customer service is simply better on Chinese trans-national flights than on American ones. Maybe next time you should take a night flight on Air China?

Oswego's Nick Schultz puts Oswego East's Justin Garza in a near fall position in their 126-pound match Thursday at Oswego. Mary Beth Nolan~For Sun-Times Media
The flu bug has hit the Midwest hard this winter, leaving many Illinois wrestling teams battling absences due to illness.
Oswego East coach Mike Jezorio only brought nine wrestlers to Saturday's 15-team tournament at Geneva. Among the missing was Zach Prinz (170), who placed second at Lake Park's 16-team tournament on Dec. 15.
"Zach is 21-1 at 170 and when he's out of the lineup it's not just team points but he's also a leader for us," Jezorio said. "But overall we wrestled well and the things we're working on we've gotten better at. Like a lot of teams, now we need to shake this flu bug that's going around."
Andrew Chastain (22-4 at 152) finished third at Geneva and also took third at Lake Park. Chastain lost in overtime in his semifinal match against eventual champion Sean Lynch of Lake Zurich, then pinned Yaghoub Yaghoub of Mather for third.
"Andrew wrestled a good day," Jezorio said. "He just made one little mistake (vs. Lynch) and it cost him, but overall he wrestled well. His other matches were all pins so nothing to complain about there."
The Wolves also got a fourth from Steve McMahon (285), a sixth from Mason Miller (138), a seventh from Jason Fountain (120) and an eighth from Mike Fountain (132).
"I knew coming into the year that we'd be semi-young and inexperienced. We start a few guys in their first years of varsity experience," Jezorio said. "But they started coming together just before break and now we've shifted our focus to regionals and sectionals."
Young Blackhawks making strides
Like Jezorio, West Aurora coach Mike DiNovo has a team learning the ins and outs of varsity wrestling.
"We're a young team that's going through some growing pains," DiNovo said. "They're wrestling and practicing hard but have a lot of technical experience still to develop. Of course, more mat time will help that."
One of the Blackhawks' young wrestlers has shined this season. Freshman Johnathan Doyle won an individual title at 113 pounds at a tournament in Antioch, placed second at Hinsdale Central, and finished fourth at Granite City on Dec. 29.
Sophomore Tim Young (170) placed third at Hinsdale Central and sixth at Granite City, while senior Trevon Williams (182) was fifth at Central and sixth at Granite City over holiday break.
"And Julian Lopez has wrestled well for us at 195 and 220 pounds," DiNovo said. "He was a tournament champion at Antioch (on Nov. 24)."
Another pair of freshmen in Sam Deisher (285) and Alex Gonzalez (126) are acclimating to varsity wrestling, while sophomore Carlos Jacquez and junior Brandon Farias are a pair of solid wrestlers that have been absent from the Blackhawks' lineup recently but hope to return soon.

When Sgt. David Howe got into law enforcement nearly 30 years ago, a bullet-resistant vest wasn't standard issue. His parents bought him one.
"Every day since then, I've been wearing a ballistic vest when I'm on the street," said Howe.
These days, body armor comes standard issue. As a Columbia Police training officer, Howe's responsible for making sure recruits know just how vital the vests are.
Inside the vest, layers of a material called Kevlar catch and hopefully stop most of what an officer could face on the street. The more layers, the more stopping power.
While CPD's SWAT team has vests with extra ceramic plating, most officers wear a vest like this under their clothes. It might seem form fitting, but it's far from comfortable.
"During normal class setting, it's not bad," said Howe. "But when you're out in the street, it's a hundred degrees, you're in the middle of an intersection directing traffic and it's 105 degrees with a heat index, hot cars going by, it makes it very difficult to wear."
But it's easy to see why they're so important. Richland County Senior Deputy Sheila Aull is alive because she was wearing hers Tuesday when she was shot in the chest. It's just another example Sgt. Howe can use as he trains the next generation.
"With the position I have at CPD, it's the foremost thought in my mind because I want everyone to go home safe," said Howe.

After graduation, students inevitably go their separate ways. So, the senior class at Harlan High School wanted to leave a lasting on impression on graduation day.
Seniors at Harlan High School have a tradition of turning graduation day pomp into pranks.
"Some people talk about throwing eggs and bringing squirt guns," said senior Jackson Keane.
"When the seniors come through they hand something to the superintendent. Sometimes, it's a little sketchy," superintendent Justin Wagner told parents at this year's commencement ceremony.
Wagner has had pennies, marbles, and even real goldfish placed in his hand.
"You put them in your pocket, cause you kinda don't have a choice there," he explained the day after graduation.
The class of 2013 decided to leave a legacy, their parents and teachers could be proud of. It began with a challenge from Wagner.
"I want you to do something that's going to represent yourselves well," he says he told them at practice last Wednesday.
"Basically, do something great, is what we took from it," Keane said.
On graduation day, the first student handed Wagner a dollar bill.
"The next one came up and gave me money, the next one," Wagner described."
The plan was for each student to give Mr. Wagner a dollar when they crossed the stage, but same gave more, $5, $10, even $50. Pretty soon, he had $359 coming out of his pockets.
"He had a pocket full of money by the time the E's rolled around," said senior Hannah Early.
"My pockets weren't big enough, because it was just a lot of money," Wagner recalled.\
Since the seniors were already done with school, they took to Twitter and Facebook to get the message out to all 128 students. They did so successfully in just four days.
"The amount we raised was huge. I mean, we told everyone to bring a buck. But, we have 128 students, and we've raised over $350. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of people that go to this school," said fellow senior Adam Zaccone.
As they crossed the stage, some of the 128 students in the graduating class whispered to Wagner where that money would go. Then, he let the audience in on the students' secret.
"In my right pocket is money, and that money is going to be donated to the Wounded Warrior Foundation," Wagner told the crowd on graduation day.
"It just hits close to home for everyone, I think," explained Early.
A lieutenant colonel with Sioux City's 185th Air Refueling Wing, Wagner served in Afghanistan when these students were sophomores. He plans to double their donation.
"I don't think there's a better cause that I can think of," Wagner said.
"I mean it really hits home when you're wondering if your superintendent's coming home. Or, for some people it hit even closer. Will your mom or dad or uncle come home," Early recalled.
Dru Beach suggested the Wounded Warrior fund to her classmates.
"You feel really good because everyone wants to be a part of something and everyone was willing to donate," said Beach.
As they start on separate paths, Jackson to technical school in Omaha, Hannah to Iowa State, Adam to college in California, and Dru to study biology at Iowa, their superintendent says their actions prove they're ready for the real world.
"They're set, they're ready to go. What happened on Sunday's not going to show up on an assessment, but those are the characteristics that will make them successful in life," said Wagner the day after the kids did their good deed.
"You feel bigger than yourself," Keane described the feeling he had inside when he crossed the stage, Sunday.
"We wanted to be different. We wanted to do something better," added Zaccone.
They leave a school that's given so much to them, knowing they've given something back.
Sunday, Wagner went off script, and he finished his speech with this: "Class, that's how you make your mark. Thank You."
Since the seniors were already done with school, they took to Twitter and Facebook to get the message out to all 128 students.
They did so successfully in just four days.

PASCO, Wash. - Franklin County is closer to banning people from growing medical marijuana together in groups.
The county commissioners Wednesday directed the planning commission to consider changing zoning laws that would permanently prohibit marijuana collective gardens.
The county's civil deputy prosecutor, Ryan Verhulp, says banning the gardens would not violate the state's new law legalizing personal possession of marijuana.
"In terms of the legal possession of marijuana, we're waiting for direction from the state," Verhulp says." but in terms of collective gardens, the state grants local entities the authority to regulate collective gardens."
The commissioners and members of the planning commission say they are concerned the federal government could cut off grants and other funding if the county's marijuana regulations violate federal laws.
Franklin County will hold a public hearing next month on the potential ban on growing marijuana in collective gardens.
Benton County is waiting for the state legislature to clarify laws on marijuana sales before it acts on whether to permit or ban collective gardens.

DALLAS, TX - The women's soccer team at Dallas Baptist University just came back from a trip of a lifetime.
"I don't think I'll ever have another opportunity like that so I was really grateful that I got to go with the team," says Lea Sedwick, a member of the team.
"The trip was definitely eye opening for me," says Kelsey Hall, Sedwick's teammate.
Their journey was a mission trip to Liberia, the first women's group to visit there since Civil War ravaged that country.
"No female soccer team has ever been there, eight to ten years since any organized sport has happened over there, it's a pretty impressive thing," says Dallas Baptist University head coach Michelle Lenard.
"It was a long journey since Liberia is located nearly 6,000 miles from North Texas on the west coast of Africa.
It's a country that has endured two civil wars which lasted two decades. It has left a large percentage of the population under the age of 15.
"There are 1.5 million children in Liberia that are under the age of 15," says Doc Lawson, President and CEO of DonamiSport.org. "The population is only three and a half million people."
Sports fans in north Texas will remember Doc Lawson as a member of the league champion Dallas Sidekicks back in the 80's.
These days, he has partnered with the YMCA and is setting up the infrastructure for a parks and recreation department in his native country of Liberia.
Getting the women's soccer team from Dallas Baptist to visit is another step toward reaching that goal.
"We couldn't have picked nor had the opportunity to have a better group," says Lawson. "The first American soccer team first of all, an American female soccer team coming to Liberia. It opens up the possibilities of others coming to share in that experience. It helps us really target what we're trying to reach in Liberia which are the children. Impressive."
Dallas Baptist played a game during a driving rain storm; one was against the Liberian Football Association female All-Stars which attracted one thousand spectators.
They conducted sports camps which always attracted big crowds as well, and shared their faith.
"To share soccer is a way to connect with them," says Lenard. "There was a language barrier in some cases, cultural barriers across the board, but soccer connected us on a level that was hard to do with any other thing. That's really what I took away, was that we were able to use that to share what we came to do which was to share our faith in Christ."
"Just seeing people in a different light that have nothing and are willing to give us everything and welcome us with open arms, It definitely made me more grateful for what I have here and the way that we live life here," says Hall.
"I think having the common bond of soccer let us put our foot in the door over there but they were very receptive," says Sedwick. "Some of it was hard because we talked with a lot of kids so we weren't sure how much they were understanding, but at least we got the word out there."
"We would literally go out to a neighborhood and walk up and down the dirt street and kids would come out of every house, every corner," says Lenard. "We did that one evening and we had 200 kids in a space less than half the size of our soccer field."
The team toured Liberia for 10 days, getting to know the people of a war-torn country where 85 percent of the population lives below the international poverty line.
"After the soccer game, I traded jerseys with a girl and she put on my jersey all sweaty, just talking to her about her dreams, she's only 16," says Hall. "Her dream is to come to America and playing soccer here. They want what we have. I just didn't realize how scarce it is for a female athlete and female soccer players in general, and that the girls share our dreams and want those things too."
Memories from a trip that will last a lifetime.
Soccer is part of the greatness of sports. It so easily crosses socio-economic and cultural lines.
And — in some cases — it unites those who otherwise would never come together.
Recently, a group of young women from Dallas Baptist University learned that lesson first-hand on a mission trip to Liberia.

High Desert Swizzle/
Portland summers are a thing to be cherished. It's always a treat to see the city explode with smiling faces as a city that only experience sunshine 3 months a year, we know how to enjoy ourselves when it's nice outside. One of our favorite drinks for sunshine sipping is the High Desert Swizzle. The drink was first introduced to us at Kask by former resident lead bartender, Tommy Klus. The smokey Vida mezcal makes for a perfect companion to the bright and tart strawberry shrub. If the smokiness of the mezcal is too much for some tastes, try mixing up a Strawberry Shrub Pisco Sour. For the smoke monsters out there, you will love this craft cocktail. Crushed ice is one of the keys to making this cocktail great, and we were excited to try out our new ice crusher from Barproducts.com. It works like a charm, is quieter than hammering away at a Lewis bag, AND you take take it camping for crushed ice cocktails in the woods! Yes, we are guilty "glampers". Mix one up, and let us know what you think.
High Desert Swizzle:
1.5 oz Del Maguey Vida mezcal
.75 oz strawberry shrub (recipe below)
.75 oz fresh lime juice
.25 oz heavy demerara simple syrup (can substitute white sugar)
Add all ingredients to Collins glass. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Use a swizzle stick or long spoon and "swizzle" until the glass becomes frosty.
Strawberry Shrub:
1 container of strawberries
1 cup of sugar
Slice strawberries and remove green stem. Cover in sugar and place in fridge overnight. Stir once of twice to keep sugar from collecting on the bottom. Add 1 cup of vinegar. Strain through cheesecloth.

Following The Long Term Trends
Posted July 10, 2008
0 Comments
I know the FOXHALL DEFENSIVE STRATEGY in bear markets is made up of (1) bonds, (2) foreign currency funds to offset the falling U.S. Dollar and (3) oil, energy, metals, mining, agriculture and other commodities and basic materials funds. BUT, OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS COMMODITIES HAVE DECLINED PRECIPITOUSLY. AGRIBUSINESS COMMODITY FUNDS are down this month 6%. STEEL FUNDS are down over 9% and METALS AND MINING FUNDS are down over 12%. It is hurting your FOXHALL performance. I thought commodities were supposed to go up when the stock market was going down.

The Economy in 2009
Posted January 15, 2009
0 Comments
The Carnage Of 2008 Has Been Nothing Short Of Breathtaking! 2008 was a horrible year. Virtually every stock market asset class crashed simultaneously. The Dow had its worst losing year since 1931 when the Great Depression was in full swing. The S&P 500 Index was down 38.5% in 2008, the worst stock market drop since 1937 and the third worst drop in the history of the US stock market. That easily makes 2008 the nastiest annual decline ever experienced by most current investors.

When Will Oil Prices Stop Going Up?
Posted May 16, 2008
0 Comments
My clients keep asking me when oil prices will stop going up. What do I tell them? OIL PRICES WILL KEEP GOING UP! As I have mentioned before in the FOXHALL GLOBAL OUTLOOK there are many factors causing oil to go up. First is supply and demand. While we Americans continue to complain about prices, we still consumed more gasoline last year than we did the previous year. China and India are now the second and third largest auto markets in the world and they are consuming record amounts of new gasoline.

Why Is Global Investing Important?
Posted May 5, 2008
0 Comments
One of my clients asked me why global investing was important. Are there any studies that definitively explain the importance of global diversification in a clients investment portfolio? YESGLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION IS A MUST! After your grandmother told you as a child to always buy low and sell high, she also probably reminded you not to put all of your eggs in one basketat least thats what my grandmother used to tell me! That is the underlying timeless wisdom of global diversification.

Will the Slowdown In The U.S. Affect Asian Markets
Posted July 10, 2007
0 Comments
THE U.S. ECONOMY IS STILL GROWING! First, note that the U.S. economy is doing quite well. While it is not growing as fast as it was in 2003, it is still growing. Barring some international geo-political crisis, the U.S. economy and the U.S. stock market should continue to make gains over the next three years. But to answer your question, how would a U.S. economic downturn affect Asia? The answer is that the continuing rise in Asian domestic demand, more diversification in exports, and a looser monetary policy give Asia some armor against any future U.S slowdown.

Business Week Article Supports Foxhall's Strategy
Posted July 2, 2007
0 Comments
BUSINESS WEEK ARTICLE REINFORCES FOXHALLS GLOBAL STRATEGY This week BUSINESS WEEK(1) published an article about the well known Princeton University professor and economist, Burton Malkiel. The article reinforces the underlying foundation of FOXHALL CAPITALs global investing strategy. Burton Malkiel is most famous for his classic finance book, A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET. In the past, he has been a leading proponent of the EFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS, which contends that prices of publicly traded assets reflect all publicly available information. FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL But now in his new book, FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL: HOW INVESTORS CAN PROFIT FROM CHINAS BOOMING ECONOMY. (W.W. Norton, December 2007) he now sees Asia and specifically China as the greatest investment opportunity in the world today. He says investors are getting a bargain for the most undervalued currency in the world.

The Economy Is Doing Well
Posted June 12, 2007
0 Comments
Although it has taken over seven years, the S&P 500 INDEX recently broke through and surpassed its high from the year 2000. However, U.S. stocks took a beating this past week, because-well,-THE ECONOMY IS DOING TOO WELL. Why would there be a sell-off in the stock market if the economy is doing well? I know that doesnt make any sense to most investors, but this is the reasoning. Most economists and Wall Street insiders thought that slowing corporate earnings, the sub-prime mortgage debt crisis, and slowing real estate and new housing markets would force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. And lower interest rates are usually good for the stock market.

Isn't This Trend Applicable In Other Emerging Markets Too?
Posted June 12, 2008
0 Comments
In your last Foxhall Global Outlook you talked about how the next big GLOBAL SUPER-CYCLE INVESTMENT TREND was investing in those companies and commodities that will be used by China over the next decade in their trillion dollar infrastructure investment programs. Isnt this trend applicable in other emerging markets too? I hear many other emerging markets are spending big sums on their own infrastructure development. You are right! Many emerging markets around the globe are flush with U.S. currency reserves.

What Is Happening To The Housing Market?
Posted April 10, 2008
1 Comment
Several weeks ago, another FEDERAL RESERVE report stated that the most serious lending abuses in ADJUSTABLE RATES MORTGAGES (ARMs) took place within the last 18 months. Most of those ARMs have not yet triggered their higher rates. The report stated that the worst of the housing foreclosures was still to come and that most of these foreclosures would reach a peak in the second half of 2009 and the first half of 2010.

As we end the second quarter of this year, the stock market is still in the process of regressing to the long-term trend of the underlying economy. Based on how overvalued the stock market was before this correction, I believe the stock market may continue to correct for the next few months. This is why Foxhall Captial's risk management strategies are so important!

Investors have always had very short memories. They forget that the Dow Jones Industrials plunged 13.6% last year in the spring, but the Dow is currently only down a little over 6% below its April 29th peak. At FOXHALL we are trend followers and as trend followers we also track shorter cycles within the overall stock market.

Commodities and the Stock Market Have Been Declining for 10 Days. Is This a New Bear Market or Just a Correction?
Posted May 18, 2011
109 Comments
One of the main reasons for the steep correction is that commodity exchanges around the world raised margin requirements four times in 10 days to discourage speculators investing with borrowed money on margin. This forced many leveraged investors out of the market.

Analyst seem to agree that the decline in the stock market has more to do with a lack of confidence in politicians in the U.S. and Europe, than in the fundamentals of companies trading on the stock market. This is more of a political crisis of confidence than anything else.

He's on pace for 4,744 yards, which would shatter Cam Newton's record of 4,051 from last season.

Mich. Balloons Travel 630-Miles to Conn.
SHERMAN, Conn. - A high-flying hello from strangers in Michigan made its way through storms and across several hundred miles, landing recently near a Connecticut woman's home.
Marcella Lourd, 80, who lives in the western Connecticut town of Sherman, found a cluster of about 17 bright orange balloons last week near her home's tennis court, their helium nearly spent and a business card dangling from their tied-together strings.
When Lourd sent an e-mail to the address on the card, she received surprising news: The balloons, the idea of a 9-year-old girl, had been released one day earlier in the western Michigan city of Grand Rapids.
They apparently made the 630-mile trip to Sherman in about 13 hours despite _ or perhaps helped by _ the storms that swept eastward into Connecticut during that time.
Brian Buck, 35, had released the balloons, prompted by his daughter Anna's curiosity about how far they'd travel. Buck, a stay-at-home father who works part-time at a store that sells balloons, called it "all just a bit of fun, really."
"We once saw a TV report about a balloon that was released on St. Valentine Day and ended up in France, so my daughter said we should try to do the same thing," he told The News-Times of Danbury. "We have to get rid of the balloons every night anyway because the helium inside can affect the store's security detection system."
Still inflated, the balloons have found a welcoming home with Lourd.
"They still have air in them so I think I'll just keep them," she said. "They'll make a nice little ornament."

Now for a little history of some members of the Dienstberger families:
Dolores (Wegesin) Dienstberger was well known and well loved by many Delphos residents, as well as by her family. The family lived at 535 E. Fifth St. and they were members of St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Dolores was chosen Tri-County Woman of the Year in 1990 and in 1999, she was honored as Grand Marshal of the Delphos Canal Days Parade.
After retiring from the R. G. Dunn Cigar Factory, Dolores started volunteering her time in the late 1960s when Meals-on-Wheels began and needed drivers to deliver meals to shut-ins. She along with her husband, Paul, often handled the meal routes of both the Delphos Memorial Home and the Sarah Jane Geriatric Center.
Her work at the Inter-Faith Thrift Shop began in 1970, when she served as one of the hostesses at the shop. Through the years the Thrift Shop enlarged several times.
Dolores's husband, Paul, passed away in 1982 and her six children had left the nest so this energetic woman accepted the position as director of the Inter-Faith Thrift Shop in 1983. Caring for the needs of others was not confined to the Delphos Community. She delivered clothing and other articles to the area migrant camps and to other communities, where there was a need. She often used her own truck. Harold Ladd and John Pointing would bring their semi-trucks to assist with the loads of clothing to different areas. By 1999 they delivered 140 loads to other places.
As a director of the Thrift Shop, she took on the task of delivering food to the needy. Food was donated by Meyer's IGA, Dave's Market, Gessner Produce and the Chief Supermarket. Later, this job was taken over by the St. Vincent DePaul Society but the Thrift Shop still manages a food pantry.
Dolores went to her great reward in Heaven at the age of 84 in 1999. She always had a smile and greeting for everyone. She was survived by their six children, 14 grand-children, five stepgrandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and 10 stepgreat-grandchildren.
The family of Dolores and Paul have scattered around the state and the country.
Music has been a passion for many of the Dienstberger Clan. Leslie "Les" Dienstberger started making music in 1944 and he's still making music; proving that there is plenty of life left after a guy turns 80. While Les was a sophomore in high school, and playing tuba in the Delphos High School Band, he was approached by his friend, Eddie Mox, who asks him to play tuba for the Pop Giesken Booster Band, since their tuba player was sick. That's when it all started. His first night with the band was at The Well in Glandorf on Halloween. Almost everyone within 100 miles has heard of Pop Giesken's Band. The name has changed over the years, and some members have come and gone but Les is still with the band, which is now known as the Village Idiots. They have played in numerous night spots and participated in many parades. Les had to take time out to serve in the U. S. Army during the Korean War. Les also played in the Delphos Eagles Band. Les remembered that his grandparents played in the Dienstberger Band.
Carl Dienstberger Sr. was very well known as a member of Paul Whiteman's Band, once known as the "King of Jazz." He was a popular violinist, soloist and director for the band from 1921-33. Carl started studying the violin when he was age 5 and he took the trolley car from Delphos to Lima, where he studied under Gail Watson, who was a student of Leopold Auer in Moscow, Russia. He became a violin virtuoso and played with the Cleveland Symphony at age 17. Carl helped organize the Delphos High School Band when he was 16. Carl had at least five well known bands of his own. During the old Tri-County Fair (aka Delphos Street Fair) Carl's band played in the dance hall tent.
Carl's bands played in New York and Detroit. He broadcast daily on Detroit radio stations WJR, WWJ, WXYZ, WLW, KFOR, WIMJ and NBC In later years Carl returned to Delphos, where he became owner, operator of C. D. Motor Sales. He also served as a service director for the City of Delphos. Carl Sr. died in 1984 at the age of 84. His funeral was held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Carl Jr. (son of Carl Sr. and Mollie) lives in Delphos.
Carl Jr. spent 30 years as an aerospace engineer in researching at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton before returning to Delphos in the 80s to assist his father as the Oldsmobile dealer. His sister, Sally, lives in Florida, near her two children and grandchildren. Sally's husband, Dr. John Hurt passed away during this past year.
Jacob Dienstberger, the father of Les, was the founder of Delphos Tent & Awning, which has been located on North Main Street for several years. The business began on West Third Street, across from the funeral home. Herman Dienstberger joined his brother in the business and they changed the name to Dienstberger Brothers Tent and Awning. In the beginning, they put awnings on houses or businesses, took them down and stored them for the winter, then put them back up in the spring. At one time, they occupied the VFW Building because it was large enough for them to lay out tents on the cement floor. Jacob retired from the business, when he was in his 60s. Hermie was the sole owner until he sold it to Don Allemeier. It is a very thriving business, with tents all over this area and outside the area.
For some added interest: The following was found by my friend, Evy on Ancestry: Nicholas Dienstberger, born 22 November 1922, died 9 December 1905 and buried in the West Plain Cemetery in Connecticut. His wife was Augusta, who died 18 October 1873.
I would especially like to thank Paul, Les, Doris and Carl Dienstberger Jr. and Carol Youngpeter for giving me all the information on the families. Thank you!

By Gregg A. Sims
Washington Times Herald
Washington placed four players in double figures at the Hatchet House Saturday, defeating Gibson Southern ina girls basketball game, 69-44.
The Hatchets (10-5) used an aggressive, stingy defense and a running offense to open a 22-9 first-quarter lead and were never fronted from there.
"It's been a long time since we have defeated Gibson Southern," Washington coach Gretchen Miles said. "I think it's been at least a decade. It was nice to see us to get over seeing that names on the chest and come out ready to play." Audra Lane canned two 3-pointers and added to free throws in the opening period, while Audra Stallman added six points and Ally Hunsinger four.
"I thought when Audra hit those threes early, it really dictated the game," Miles said.
Lane gave Washington the lead with a 3-pointer as Washington raced away from the Titans (10-7). The 13-point lead was stretched in the second quarter to
48-20 at halftime, as Hunsinger finished the half with 13, Lane 11 and Stallman 10.
Washington¹s defense forced turnovers that led to easy baskets, the passing game was crisp and sharp on the offensive end and Washington¹s control of the paint was apparent. Miles said she was concerned before the game that it might be the Titans causing the errors.
"We were concerned with Gibson Southern's ability to apply pressure from endline to endline," Miles said. "We had to be able to weather the storm early to have the confidence to have the ball in our hands. I thought the girls did an outstanding job of staying on the attack, not staying waiting for the basket and cutting to it and the led up to an early lead for us from the beginning." Guard Kiana Smith paced the Titans with 10 points on two three¹s and four free throws. Maddie Raley had seven.
But Washington continued to find easy baskets in the third quarter with Stallman scoring eight points in the quarter for a 63-33 lead at the end of the third.
Mile said she enjoyed the quick pace that her team was able to employ, and the passing on the offensive end.
"We're just better when we're in transition," Miles said. ³When we can get that first miss and get it out to our guards who then can get into our post players, we think better and we play better. Hannah Mason did a great job of defense, but also passing offense. We were making the passes to where the person is going instead of where they have been. It¹s really a very unselfish crew." Stallman and Hunsinger both finished with 18 points for Washington, Lane had 13 and Lupe Perez, scored 10.
"I thought Ally and Audra (Stallman) both did such a nice job of controlling the inside," Miles said. "They made sure that was their home and no one was going to disrupt that. I thought we did a huge job of going to get the basketball instead of waiting for it to come to us. It has a lot to do with wanting it more than the other team." Smith was the only Titan in double figures with.
"Gibson Southern is a very young team and they will be better in the next couple of years," Miles said. "We had to find a win against a solid opponent, and that was huge for us."

Retired court officer Jay DiRico took to the witness stand Monday morning to testify in his own defense.
The 42-year-old is accused of assaulting Chicopee police Officer Jeffrey Couture back in April of 2012.
The charges stem from an alleged attack on Couture that occurred when DiRico's ex-girlfriend came with the officer to DiRico's home to gather some of her belongings.
The retired court officer told the jury he did not provoke the attack.
DiRico's testimony comes in stark contrast from Couture's on Thursday when he said he pushed DiRico to stop a pending attack of the ex-girlfriend. Couture told the jurors that during the confrontation DiRico tried to strangle him.
Also, during his testimony on Monday DiRico said he was abused by the police after he was handcuffed. He said he suffered several severe injuries as a result. His story of the events that day is entirely different from what Couture previously told jurors had happened.
Among those in attendance in the courtroom were several Chicopee police officers including the city's police chief.
The case is expected to go to the jury sometime on Tuesday.

The included Comfort Plus seat back combined with the adjustable foot pegs allows almost any paddler to hit their comfort zone in stride. The Trident 13 Angler performs well in almost any water application but you'll notice the superb performance in breaking surf and rough seas.

Toronto to Nepal: transporting ability
Two caring alumnae are helping paralyzed people in Nepal walk again. Their next mission: rural Canada
Sylvia (Coates) Haycock, OT'04, and Carol Scovil, Sc'97, met while volunteering at Green Pastures Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre in Nepal. However, they didn't realize they were both Queen's grads until a Christmas party back at their workplace, Toronto Rehab's Lyndhurst Centre.
Lyndhurst is a spinal cord injury rehab centre, where Sylvia is an occupational therapist and Carol is an assistive technology consultant.
"We discovered that my husband, Bruce Haycock [Sc'99], graduated from Queen's engineering physics program, just as Carol did," Sylvia laughs, adding that only recently have they learned that one of NepalAbility's founders, Edith Ng, who first encouraged Sylvia to work in Nepal, is also a Queen's graduate, OT'96.
NepalAbility is a volunteer group of Canadian rehab professionals dedicated to reducing disability in Nepal. In 2008-9, Carol volunteered with Interserve Canada in Nepal for 16 months, adapting wheelchairs for rural use and studying community participation of individuals with spinal cord injuries. Sylvia traveled to Nepal with NepalAbility in 2009, to deliver interpersonal professional rehabilitation education to Nepali staff, patients, and families, including Green Pastures Hospital, where Carol was working.
Carol has returned with NepalAbility twice, Sylvia once, to continue providing education and assisting in developing Nepal's capacity for rehabilitation.
Both are amazed at the impact those efforts have made. "In a country that has so few resources," says Carol, "you really can come in and make concrete differences."
At Green Pastures, Carol worked with one teenage civil war victim who had lost both legs in an explosion. His prosthetic legs were impractical for walking long distances, so Carol assembled a "Motivation Rough-Terrain Wheelchair" with him. Revisiting Nepal eight months later, she encountered this boy on the bus. "He was really excited that he'd been able to leave the hospital and get on with his life again. It was really rewarding to see," says Carol.
Sylvia has had her rewards, too. She had learned how to treat people with Guillaine-Barré Syndrome (GBS) at Lyndhurst just before heading to Nepal for the first time. "There's a good prognosis for most patients with GBS in that it injures peripheral nerves, so they can recover very well with rehab to guide their recovery. But they often begin their journey almost fully paralyzed," she explains.
One of the first patients Sylvia saw in Nepal was a nurse with GBS. Her team (Canadian and Nepalese) used an inter-professional approach to intervention and treatment, using various techniques to move her body. They got her to sit up for the first time since her paralysis six months earlier. "We showed her what was possible – what we'd just learned in Canada."
"The woman had been sent home," adds Carol, still amazed by this story. "When Sylvia and her team went to visit, she was in bed, with no hope of moving again. But they got her up, standing, on that first day!"
On her most recent trip to Nepal, Sylvia met the woman again. She had returned to work as a play therapist at Tansen Mission Hospital. "Her mobility was amazing; she had no pain, and she's walking without any aids."
The episode gave Sylvia the strength to move forward in her journey to help reduce disability around the world. "Everything I've ever tried for, and wanted ... when she walked into the room, I knew it was real. My whole life purpose was there, in that moment."
With a diverse team, from surgeons to ITs to speech pathologists, heading to Nepal every few months, Carol and Sylvia feel that NepalAbility is set to make lasting global changes. They also hope to help develop an OT school in Nepal, but above all wish to instigate change in their own backyard.
"For various reasons, we [rehabilitators] aren't reaching out to Canadians who could use more possibilities," explains Sylvia. "I'd like to build an Outreach team for spinal-cord injury patients in rural areas. It's possible there are patients here in Canada with GBS, for example, who do not have access to this type of rehabilitation."
Interested in becoming involved with NepalAbility? If so, please contact Edith Ng, email@example.com
