Two years ago this month, a bloc of Muscogee County School Board members blocked the retiring superintendent's nine recommended personnel moves -- without explanation.
The chairwoman of the nine-member board called the revolt "shameful." Another board member called it "embarrassing." An administrator called the five rebelling board members "cowards."
Voters were outraged. Two months later, two of the three bloc members up for re-election were ousted.
Now, another election cycle has arrived, and two more bloc members are running. And that two-year-old vote still is a campaign issue.
Susan Andrews, the snubbed superintendent, had decided to retire a month earlier. Five days after she departed the district, the board unanimously approved the same recommended promotions, this time presented by interim Superintendent John Phillips. Critics complained no board members clearly explained why they changed their minds.
Since then, school board members, candidates and voters have debated the uproar's significance. But this much is clear: The result of that May 21, 2012, school board rejection continues to be a hot topic -- and the result of this year's May 20 school board election could depend on how voters interpret that history.
This past week, the Ledger-Enquirer revisited the controversy to shed light on what some consider one of the darkest moments in the Muscogee County School District's 64-year history. The hope was that time and distance have allowed the actors in this political drama to answer unanswered questions. Here's what the L-E learned from those interviews.
Andrews, speaking for the first time on the record about this controversy, insisted none of the board members who voted against those personnel recommendations ever expressed a concern about them to her.
District 2 representative John Wells, who is running for re-election, said he indeed asked Andrews "lots of questions," but he refused to be specific.
District 1 representative Pat Hugley Green, who isn't up for re-election, also contended she "had some questions" for Andrews, but Green also wouldn't be specific.
District 8 representative Beth Harris, also up for re-election, asked the Ledger-Enquirer to email her its questions, but she didn't reply before deadline.
Two years ago, Norene Marvets was the District 7 representative and James Walker was the District 3 representative, but they were unseated in the 2012 election. They weren't reached for comment this past week.
District 4 representative Naomi Buckner, who is up for re-election but is running unopposed, is the only other board member who voted against one of Andrews' recommendations that night. Buckner voted against only the recommended principal for Richards Middle School in a 6-3 vote. The other proposed promotions were blocked 5-4 by Green, Harris, Marvets, Walker and Wells.
Cathy Williams, the board's lone county-wide representative and the chairwoman two years ago, alleged the five board members who blocked all of Andrews' moves conspired against the superintendent. Williams, who isn't seeking re-election, named Wells as the ring leader. Wells denied any collusion.
District 6 representative Mark Cantrell, who is running for re-election but doesn't face opposition, claimed Wells called him the day of the board meeting to vote against all of the recommended promotions.
Cantrell recalled, "I just spoke from the heart and told him, 'That ain't right, John.'"
The Ledger-Enquirer asked Wells in an email and voicemail whether that allegation is true, but he didn't respond before deadline.
The campaigns for one of Wells' three challengers for the District 2 seat, John F. Thomas, and Harris' opponent in District 8, Frank Myers, mailed flyers to residents this past week highlighting that two-year-old vote. The flyers call the vote "one of the most embarrassing and disgraceful abuses of political power ever witnessed in our city."
A video titled "Muscogee County Fiasco" shows the divisive vote and still gets hits on YouTube. It has attracted more than 2,000 views.
Green accused Williams of violating the board's code of ethics by campaigning against another board member.
"The only place I see people bringing this up is on Cathy Williams' Facebook page," Green said.
Green refused to show the Ledger-Enquirer where in the code such a violation is mentioned. The Ledger-Enquirer couldn't find it, and Georgia School Boards Association communications director Justin Pauly said it doesn't exist in the statewide model code each local board must adopt. The code does, however, state that each board member should "communicate in a respectful professional manner with and about fellow board members."
Beyond this election, Charles Lawhon, the district's PTA director, mentioned another reason why the board's two-year-old vote still matters: the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, which funds the school district's capital projects and expires at the end of this year. Superintendent David Lewis has said he plans to ask the board to seek renewal of the SPLOST and authorize a referendum for voters to approve next year, probably in May 2015.
Lawhon, a member of the citizen committee overseeing the SPLOST, said the board has lost too much trust for him to agree to renew the 1 percent sales tax.
"If I have to vote today, I would vote no, and they would have a hard time getting it passed," Lawhon said. "There are still things that need to be addressed. Some of the old folks have been on that board so long, they are set in their ways. They think they can dictate and run things, and there's no accountability there.
"To me, the board slapped and spit in those administrators' faces, and they're going to find out that will play a huge role in this election."
Some say it already did in the July 31, 2012, election.
Green retained her District 1 seat with 54.7 percent of the vote against challenger Al Stewart. In District 3, however, Walker lost to challenger Athavia "A.J." Senior, who received 52 percent of the vote, and in District 7, Marvets lost to Shannon Smallman, who received 55.8 percent of the vote.
Myers, the attorney and political consultant who helped the board pass its 2009 SPLOST referendum, spent the past two years being among the board's most vocal critics. He targeted the 2012 incumbents with a "Boot the Board" campaign and frequently berated the board during public comment time at meetings. Now, as he knocks on doors throughout District 8, he hears residents continue to bring up the May 21, 2012, vote.
"They still can't believe the way those board members treated those educators," Myers said. " It's another example of how they got so out of touch with what's important. It was just a huge political power play, political gamesmanship at the expense of these kids."
Myers posed the question for voters this way: "Do you believe your own ears, Susan Andrews and Cathy Williams, or do you believe John Wells and Beth Harris?"
'Unfounded and absurd'
Wells, the board's senior member with 28 years of service and a former chairman, said the conspiracy accusations are "just unfounded and absurd. People can say what they want to and do what they want to, but I'm independent."
Phillips, not Andrews, answered his questions about the recommendations, Wells said. That's why he changed his vote six weeks later, he said.
"It wasn't a power play, not something orchestrated," Wells said. "I'm not a rubber stamp. I make my votes on all the information, and when I can't get answers to my questions, I'm not going to vote for it."
Asked for examples of those questions, Wells said, "That's been two years ago. I can't remember all of them. Some were from my constituents, wanting to find out some things."
Andrews and Wells agree on one key episode, however: As the board gathered that night for the vote, he privately asked her before the meeting started to delay the personnel recommendations.
"There was no rush to get this done," Wells said.
There indeed was a rush, Andrews emphasized. With seven principal appointments and two other administrator positions pending, planning was at a standstill for those schools and programs during the summer until the board gave its blessing.
Williams said that rejecting the recommended adult education director risked losing state funding for that department.
She also mentioned that pre-meeting conversation between Andrews and Wells as key to the controversy for another reason: After his attempt to convince Andrews to table her recommendations failed, Williams said, she overheard Wells tell the four other eventual opposing voters, "We are going to vote them all down."
Proper concern
Andrews said other Muscogee County board members properly handled their concerns about another recommended personnel move during the same work session when those other promotions were on the agenda a week before the divisive vote.
Cantrell, whose district covers Mathews Elementary, said he received 30-40 phone calls questioning why then-assistant principal Jan Greene wasn't Andrews' choice to become the principal.
"I was a new board member, so I wasn't sure what to do," Cantrell said. "I just felt I did what I was supposed to do and brought up that red flag at the work session."
After hearing those concerns, Andrews removed her principal recommendation for Mathews, so it didn't appear on the agenda at the May 21, 2012, meeting. She thought all the other recommendations were "perfectly safe, that they most likely would get unanimous votes."
Asked why she was so confident, Andrews said board members "never asked me a single question about any of those candidates that they voted down."
Some folks on and around the board have speculated the bloc was organized to get Andrews to leave sooner than planned so Phillips could return to the district as interim superintendent. She announced her retirement in March 2012 and scheduled her last day for that July 31.
"They wanted her gone," Williams said, "and the only way they could get her to leave early was to literally bully her out."
Andrews moved her retirement date to June 30 after the May 21 vote.
"They were sending me a message," Andrews said. "But it was not the right way to do it, not the professional way to do it, not the respectful way to do it."
Kia Chambers, a candidate for the county-wide seat on the board, said "open communication" is crucial between the board and superintendent and then to the public.
"I don't foresee waiting until the night of the vote if I had concerns," Chambers said. "I would voice those concerns at the time and have the reasons and evidence to back up my concerns."
That's exactly what the work session is for, said Owen Ditchfield, a former board member from District 7, now running for the county-wide seat.
"It should be clear that if board members are opposing anything they should express their disapproval then," Ditchfield said. "Individual board members also can call up the superintendent, not to micromanage but just as a common courtesy."
Nate Sanderson, another candidate for the county-wide seat, said board members can't forget "the human factor" when they vote on recommendations.
"Adults need to sit down when they have a difference of opinion and come to a meeting of the minds," Sanderson said.
Victor Morales, one of the three candidates running against Wells, said board members "need to be reminded that they work for the people, so they should have to explain their votes."
But the GSBA doesn't require its members to give such an explanation, Pauly said. Votes on personnel are especially prickly "due to legal constraints," he added.
Political motivation
Thomas and John "Bart" Steed mentioned the board's May 21, 2012, vote as part of their motivation to challenge Wells.
Thomas called it a "turning point" for him.
"Prior to that, I just thought the school board was running under the radar," Thomas said. "But you can look at that vote as where trust just fell away. It was a crystallizing moment. They were so involved with little schoolyard games, pushing people down. I was disappointed that an elected body would act like that. That was a moment when the curtain was pulled back."
Steed called the vote against the promotions "extremely malicious and totally uncalled for." The lack of an accompanying explanation when the opposing votes were cast "goes to the accountability and transparency" Steed said the board lacks.
Williams calls the May 2012 opposing voters "the Bloc of Five." She acknowledged it was the final piece of evidence that convinced her to yield the chairmanship to Rob Varner of District 5 in January 2013 and not seek re-election this year.
Andrews and Williams agree their influence on the board started to slip because of two earlier controversial votes in the spring of 2012:
The March appointment of Britt David Magnet Academy principal Ronie Collins as chief academic officer over elementary education director Karon Greyer, who subsequently retired. That passed 5-4. Cantrell, Harris, Varner, Wells and Williams approved. Buckner, Green, Marvets and Walker opposed.
"They thought bringing a principal to the central office in that position was premature," Andrews said. "But Karon told me she might be retiring, and the job needed someone longer term."
The April reinstatement of Columbus High principal Marvin Crumbs after he was reassigned for showing an offensive video to his faculty. The vote was 7-1. Harris was the only dissenter. Wells abstained.
Williams recalled Harris "was seething" after the vote. "She was glaring at me like she wanted to tear my throat out."
Then, after the May revolt, Williams could do the math.
"I knew I had lost the board," Williams said. "There was no working relationship left. That spring was the reason I decided not to run again. I couldn't believe that people would do that to other people. I didn't want to be in a toxic environment anymore."
Moving on
Wells urged the discussion during this election to focus elsewhere.
"All I want to do is move this district ahead," he said. "I'm ready to move on from this and get on with it."
Varner, however, feared the board wouldn't be able to move on from the bad publicity the May 2012 vote produced amid the superintendent search. It took the board 16 months after Andrews announced her retirement to fill the position with the hiring of Lewis from Polk County, Fla., in July 2013.
No superintendent candidate told him that the board's rejection of Andrews' recommendations made them wary of the district, Varner said, "but I just believe it probably shrunk the pool of applicants because (the controversy) was so raw and fresh."
Lewis declined to answer the Ledger-Enquirer's questions about whether the divisive May 2012 vote affected his interest in the district and how he works here.
"It would not be appropriate for me to respond to these questions as I do not have firsthand knowledge of all of the facts in this matter," Lewis wrote in an email. "Since my arrival, I have been focused on the present with an eye to the future for our district."
Before the Muscogee County School Board hired Andrews in December 2008, she was superintendent in her native Harris County, where she resides. She commutes to Atlanta for her job as a deputy superintendent for the state.
Andrews was reluctant to be interviewed about the May 2012 controversy, but she eventually agreed so she could help set the record straight.
She still doesn't know why the board's bloc rejected her recommendations, Andrews said, and she never asked.
"I didn't think it would serve any purpose," she said.
Ultimately, she concluded, "the voters have to decide whether this was just a one-time debacle or is it a pattern of behavior."

Neutron Scattering as a Probe of Magnetic-Ferroelectric
Owen P. Vajk, The University of Missouri, Columbia
Interactions in Hexagonal RMnO3
Spallation Neutron Source Seminar
2:00 PM — 3:00 PM, SNS Central Laboratory and Office Building (8600),
Room C-152
Contact: Steve Nagler (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.574.5240
AbstractMaterials with both ferroelectric and magnetic order are known as multiferroics, and they have attracted considerable attention recently because coupling between the magnetic and ferroelectric order within these materials may lead to large magnetoelectric effects. The hexagonal rare-earth manganites form a family of multiferroic compounds that share a common layered structure. These materials have high ferroelectric ordering temperatures (~900K) but much lower antiferromagnetic ordering temperatures (~70K), although the exact magnetic structure depends on both the rare earth ion and in some cases the temperature. Strong coupling between the ferroelectricity and magnetism has been observed at a spin reorientation transition in HoMnO3 between a P6'3c'm phase and a P6'3cm' phase, where a change in the Mn3+ spin structure coincides with a change in the ferroelectric polarization magnitude. Most members of the RMnO3 family do not have any spin reorientation transition, and so signs of magnetic-ferroelectric interaction in other RMnO3 compounds are much less pronounced. In order to better understand the strong magnetic-ferroelectric coupling observed in HoMnO3, we have performed systematic doping dependence studies of RMnO3 compounds with mixed rare-earth occupancy. Neutron scattering measurements reveal a complex multi-dimensional phase space where the P6'3c'm to P6'3cm' phase boundary reveals unexpected doping dependency. Inelastic measurements in Y-rich compounds reveal quasielastic scattering corresponding to the "wrong" magnetic phase for those compounds, indicating strong competition between competing magnetic phases. Further measurements are still needed to fully explore the rich physics behind the magnetic-ferroelectric coupling in this rich family of multiferroic compounds.

The contemporary lines and strong geometry of the three-story Los Angeles residence echo those seen in his own home.A compact lot didn't stop Zuziak from meeting the luxury expectations of affluent urban buyers. It just required some vertical thinking.The wet areas of the plan (bathrooms, kitchen) line up along the party wall, while "transparent" rooms connect to outdoor living spaces on the home's three open sides.This layout makes the house appear bigger than it actually is, says the architect, by blurring the lines and "expanding the perceivable width of the home."See all 2007 Builder's Choice Award WinnersCategory: Townhouse unit, 2,000 square feet or more;Entrant/Architect: JZMK Partners, Irvine, Calif.;Builder/Developer: Laing Luxury, Newport Beach, Calif.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Los Angeles, CA.

An appreciative reply that measures the incline of Henry Jenkins' middle ground.
Literature scholars eager to understand gaming have made early inroads. Markku Eskelinen sets up serious checkpoints.
"Where is the text in chess?" asks Espen Aarseth. Rules, play, and semiosis are the (un)common ground between games and stories in "interactive narrativism" and the art of simulation.
Julian Raul Kucklich points out the virtues of interdisciplinarity cooperation for ludologists.
Dennis Cooper's disorienting novel, The Sluts, complicates reader expectations about subjectivity and identity. As a result, Megan Milks notes that it "is either the most honest or the most dishonest literature I have come across."
Keith Herber discusses how in his "Haunted House" scenario for Call of Cthulhu, characters are driven insane by their attempt to unravel the game's mysteries. Herber's explanation distinguishes his work from many other role-playing games in which the goal is to develop characters and acquire power and/or wealth. In contrast, characters in Herber's scenario are rewarded with mental instability.
Markku Eskelinen reiterates the bounds of ludology.
Brenda Laurel takes a turn at the rules of operation for Interactive Fiction.
Eric Zimmerman whips "four naughty concepts" into disciplinary shape.
It's "Game Time." Here in section four we see what the dynamics of time and space have to do with the games people play.

Punisher MAX #68A comic review article by: Dan Hill
So the carnage continues. Swierczynski wastes no time, picking up right where the last issue left off and launching straight into the thick of things. Head shots abound. Eyes are blown out, all bathed in a grimy red neon light by the talented Val Staples (continuing a colour motif that has ran throughout this arc). During this opening scene Frank laments how the poison in his veins is slowing him down, causing him to play catch up with his reflexes. Despite this though, he still manages to dispatch the guns for hire with minimum effort. Granted, he loses both his vehicle and his supplies, but the scene only serves to show that even in the face of such adversity, Frank Castle marches on relentlessly, an almost elemental force only existing for one purpose.
Swierczynski doesn't make Castle completely infallible though. A short while later, he shows Frank physically stumbling whilst another team of mercenaries give chase. It's not pretty, and it's not graceful. A far cry from the well oiled machine we're used to seeing.
Walter, the slightly creepy, not all there, bundle of tension makes a reappearance too. He serves as a bodyguard for Dre, one of the people responsible for the poison currently residing in Frank's veins. We learned in the last issue--courtesy of some small flashbacks--that Walter served in Vietnam and at one point was captured and tortured by the Vietcong. It's pretty clear that it was this event that turned Walter into the man he is today. Swierczynski and Lacombe did a great job in the last issue of building up the idea that this guy has a LOT of bundled up anger beneath that dim, almost child like exterior, and it's in this issue that it pays off. Not only that but there is a twist in the relationship between Dre and her bodyguard. One, that given Walter's mental state, is oh so wrong and true to form. Very, very creepy.
The flashbacks concerning Walter last issue were very small (a few panels at most) but still managed to get across what this guy was about effectively. Swierczynski performs a similar trick this issue for Dre and Benjamin. In the space of a few pages the backgrounds of both characters are fleshed out nicely along with a revelation about Walter that directly influences the ending of this issue.
When I reviewed the last issue, I looked forward to a Walter/Frank confrontation. This issue doesn't deliver on that but definitely puts it on the plate for the next issue. This, in a nutshell ,is my one complaint about the book. Compared to the last issue, not much happens. This is more of a transition issue, fleshing out characters and moving the pieces into place for the next issue.
That being said though, this is still top work by all involved. Swierczynski's writing improves every time I read an issue by him. Here he gives a good example of economical storytelling, filling out the backgrounds of the supporting characters in a short amount of space. Lacombe's art is solid, and he has a knack for really capturing the nuances in a character's expressions. Val Staples continues to shine, bathing the violence in a neon glow, whilst retaining the shadowy elements of the book when needed.
A solid issue but more of a set up for next month.

I am a former Belleville resident who would like to know if there is or was a lake in Belleville named Lake McKinley or McKinley Lake? While recently searching through my genealogy, I learned that my grandfather drowned in that lake in 1931. -- Rodney Biehl, of St. Louis County
Looks like a root in your family tree is about to take a slight detour. According to both Belleville papers, your grandfather, Arthur J. Biehl, drowned Aug. 29-30, 1931, in St. Clair Lake in Swansea.
Anyone who drives up North 17th Street and looks at the street signs will be familiar with the name. About a mile north of West Main Street -- just as described in the news stories -- you can turn right onto St. Clair Lake Drive (although you are warned that the street has no outlet).
The lake itself lies between 17th and Caseyville Avenue, again as described in the story. (There's also a Lake Front Drive off Morgan.) At one time, the lake was to be the central attraction of a proposed St. Clair Lake Park, according to the Swansea village history. A sand beach was installed along with a high dive and bath house.
The recreation center, however, failed financially about 1927 and the bath house burned, although "swimming and wading were frequently indulged in by trespassers," the paper noted.
That's what your grandfather was up to late that Saturday night. Just 31 at the time, the father of four young boys along with Oliver "Red" Funk and Perry Rury spent the day visiting friends around Belleville. Then, just before midnight, the trio went to the lake to perhaps cool off.
According to the News-Democrat report, they went wading near the west bank of the lake, where the water was just 3 feet deep. But 10 minutes later, Rury noticed Biehl was missing and immediately asked Funk whether he had seen Biehl leave the water.
When Funk said no, the two began searching for him and yelling for help. Hearing the shouting, a woman in a nearby house called the sheriff's office. About 12:30 a.m., Biehl's body, clad in trousers and one shoe, was found covered in mud near where he was last seen by his two friends.
A resident of 118 S. 17th St., Biehl, who worked on his father George's farm near Smithton, was buried in Green Mount Cemetery. As a footnote, I have found no references to St. Clair Lake being called McKinley although I'd appreciate any information to the contrary.
By the way, if you didn't know, it wasn't the first time your grandfather made headlines. In 1921, Biehl filed suit against several members of his mother's family, saying they were falsely accusing him of murdering a cousin.
On March 5, 1921, Oscar Linder, 22, was found dead on the Freeburg Road. At first, the death was ruled a suicide, but a second coroner's inquest ruled he was killed by a blow to the head.
Six months later, Biehl sued Linder's dad, two of Oscar's brothers and a brother-in-law for $70,000 for publicly declaring that Biehl killed him, according to Biehl's attorney, Eugene Kreitner. Kreitner alleged the second inquest was "entirely illegal" and was done only so the family could collect on a $1,000 insurance policy, which they did in February 1922.
I could find no further reports on this case, but if you'd like to add copies of these stories to your scrapbook, please send me your address and I'll be glad to send them to you.
Due to the lovely weather we had last week I decided to take my nephew to Moody Park at Longacre to play on the massive playground there. However, when we get there, we found it is no longer there. What happened and why was it removed? -- G.P.
You might want to take your own kite or ball along next time while Fairview Heights prepares to provide an even better playground for the kiddies by summer.
Installed in 1995, the old, wooden equipment was raising liability concerns because it was splintering so badly that it was causing injury. It was dismantled last November.
"We were just having so many maintenance issues with it because of the wooden structure," Angela Beaston, the city's parks and recreation director, said. "I know several other communities in this area had the same type of playground installed almost at the exact same time and they also removed theirs."
Now, the city has approved $275,000 to install new plastic and fiberglass equipment. Initial plans were to have it ready in May, but weather and a debate whether to use a mulch or rubberized surface have pushed that back at least a month.
Once it's finished, though, city officials say it may eventually pay for itself.
"I think the old playground, when it was new, brought a lot of people to the park and the city, where they spent money," Ward 2 alderman Justin Gough told us last month. "I have friends who would drive 20 or 30 minutes to go to that park with their kids."

For those of you watching who have rheumatoid arthritis, the rest of us who don't have this debilitating disease, it's hard to appreciate the pain you are in. Nancy Naeve Brown met a Nebraska woman who pain free in her left foot after having reconstructive surgery at the Avera Foot and Ankle Clinic in Yankton.
Sharon Carlow from Creighton, Nebraska has been living with excruciating pain for 20 years. She has rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that affects the joints, all of them, eating away at the soft tissue surrounding those joints leaving them crooked, and painful and useless.
Sharon says, "I think I've had 9 back surgeries."
In February Sharon came to Yankton to see podiatrist Dr. Terry Pedersen at the Avera Foot and Ankle Clinic. Since rheumatoid arthritis likes to attack the hands and feet first her toes had become so gnarled she could barely walk.
Sharon says, "I didn't wear shoes for 5 years because you couldn't stand that pressure on your toes. And so I would go barefoot. In winter I would wear two pairs of socks."
Dr. Pedersen changed her life with foot reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Pedersen says, "With Sharon we just made 2 simple incisions on top of the foot and were able to address 4 joints through 2 small incisions. Remove bone from the joints and set with temporary pins and that's all she needed."
Sharon says, "There is no comparison, no comparison. I don't have pain in the foot they fixed. I have no pain. "
Rheumatoid arthritis is hereditary Sharon's sister Lela Kiepke from Norfolk accompanied Sharon on her check up and like sis has disfigured and painful feet. She too will follow in her sister's footsteps to correct her foot.
Dr. Pedersen says, "Our rheumatoid patients are some of the happiest surgical patients. They come in with a lot of pain, they come in with a lot of disability and they don't know what else they can do and surgery scares them. They think it will be painful but almost all of them immediately after surgery are pain free."
Sharon says, "They told me I'd be able to dance. I love to dance."
She plans to have her right foot done after the hustle and bustle of Holidays have passed, and you can bet she will be back on her feet, kicking up her heels and dancing for joy in the coming year.
Like so many foot patients, Sharon wishes she would have gotten this surgery done sooner because the results were so fantastic and nothing to be scared of.

Three Maine Faculty Members Receive Maine Campus Compact's
Donald Harward Award for Service-Learning Excellence
Contact: Craig DeForest, (207) 786-8346, firstname.lastname@example.com May 1, 2012
LEWISTON – On April 20th at Bates College in Lewiston, three Maine faculty members were honored for making public service an integral part of their teaching. The Donald Harward Award for Faculty Service-Learning Excellence recognizes faculty who integrate community or public service into the curriculum and who work to institutionalize service-learning. The award is named for Donald W. Harward, valued founder of Maine Campus Compact and former board member of national and Maine Campus Compacts. Award winners have shown clear evidence of reflection, community benefit, reciprocity with community partners and a commitment to advocating for service-learning and/or community action on campus and beyond.
Faculty members receiving the award include, Susan Baker, University of Maine at Augusta; Kathleen Dunckel, Unity College; and Melissa Ladenheim, University of Maine.
Established in 1994 and hosted at Bates College, MCC is a statewide coalition of 18 college and university presidents working to build strong communities and a more just democratic society by developing students' citizenship and problem solving skills through community-based learning. MCC is an affiliate state office of Campus Compact, which encompasses more than 1,100 college and university presidents – representing some 6 million students-dedicated to promoting community service, civic engagement, and service-learning in higher education. More than 15,000 student volunteers at MCC member campuses provide some 1.6 million hours of service annually, with an economic impact of more than $25 million a year.
Campus Compact President's Campus Leadership Award
Each year Maine Campus Compact recognizes a student organization or campus department at each member institution for contributions to community service, service-learning, and/or civic engagement efforts on their campuses.
The groups must demonstrate an innovative approach to enhancing campus-based efforts to address community issues, efforts to sustain their work on campus, and a deep, widespread impact on the campus and the community.
This year at the recommendation of President Ferguson, Maine Campus Compact is presenting a President's Campus Leadership Award to UMaine Circle K.
The UMaine Circle K group has been actively involved in service on campus for many years. They have an active membership and strong leadership. The local, national and international service missions for Circle K focus on the needs of children so in 2010 the members decided to host a St. Balderick's event on Maine Day 2011 to raise money to support pediatric cancer research. The plan for a St. Balderick's event is to get people to pledge to shave their heads in return for cash donations. The Circle K membership did an outstanding job of publicizing the event through posters, tabling, e-mails, word of mouth, and Campus radio and newspaper. As with many events on campus, they didn't truly know how many people were planning to participate until the day of the event, but they were pretty comfortable they would have at least 20 people and would meet their goal of $2,000. On Maine Day more than 100 people came to turn in their donations and shave their heads. Students and staff participated side-by-side. At the event, participants shared their stories of how cancer had impacted the lives of the children and families that they know. Circle K truly engaged the entire campus around this event and released a passion they had not expected. The final total for the event was $14,363. The two top participants raised over $2,000 each, and the top group raised over $4,500. The efforts of the Circle K students brought this campus together in support of a very important mission, and Circle K has committed to making this an annual event.

The Effect of Entrepreneurship Education on the Predisposition Towards Entrepreneurship in Business and Engineering StudentsThe Business-Engineering-Technology (BET) minor at Auburn University admits selected business and engineering juniors to a two-year, lock-step program. Students gain entrepreneurial know-how and skills. Our data shows that our students show statistically significant gains in entrepreneurial skills and knowledge compared to their peers in the two colleges. Using a nine-item scale, we found that, although BET students have gained significant knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship, they are not any different from their peers from the two colleges in their desire to start a business. The students in the BET minor are volunteers.

For those out on Halloween night looking for thrills and chills, a little known haunted attraction is open for ghost tours.
Alexander Majors House on West 82nd Street and State Line Road is one of the oldest mansions still standing in the area. It dates back to the Civil War era.
Peer into the windows of Alexander Majors House long enough, and one may catch a shadow staring back. Some say the spooks inside aren't staged.
Emily Heid said two people passed away inside the north bedroom, which is the most haunted room in the house.
Paranormal investigators even saw a full body apparition of a child standing on a trunk inside the room.
They also detected numerous spirits of Confederate soldiers and one former homeowner who got so attached she never really left.
"Louisa Johnson has been known to stand right beside you there," Heid said.
One time, a ghost hunter smelled pipe tobacco take over the room.
"The next thing you know, the spirit flew down these back stairs, flew right into her and knocked her down to the ground," Heid said.
Inside the blacksmith shop, Heid warns others of what could come.
"We have a very aggressive male ghost that loves to have his stomping ground here," she said.
Heid said he is known to pester women by playing with their hair or push them down. She is convinced he possessed a female median.
"Her voice dropped. It was gravelly, and she has a female higher voice, and it changed," Heid said.
This is the first year Alexander Majors House has ever been open for ghost tours. If you do want to find out for yourself how haunted the mansion is, Thursday is the last public tour.
The ghost tour starts at 7 p.m. and costs $15 per person.
You can also get in on a paranormal investigation at 9:30 p.m. Spots are limited and tickets are $50 each.
To purchase tickets for ghost tours and paranormal investigations call 816-444-1858 or visit www.alexandermajors.com. Advanced registration and payment is necessary.

SEVILLE, Spain (AP) -- Sevilla has fired coach Marcelino Garcia Toral after the Spanish club's seventh straight league game without a win.
Marcelino's position appeared in doubt on Sunday following a 2-1 loss to Villarreal, which left the club in 11th place after five defeats in the last seven games, six points away from a Champions League spot.
Sevilla did not name a replacement for Marcelino, who was in charge for just 21 games, winning six of them.
Marcelino is the eighth Spanish league coach fired this season.

I was prescribed protriptyline to help with chronic daily headaches I was having. I started off taking one 5mg tablet but quickly increased to 20mg because the side effects were minimal. On this dose, I had pretty significant dry mouth, and I was unable to fall asleep at night without taking another medication to help with sleep (this drug is a stimulant).

I take this to prevent headaches (mixed migraine-tension headache symptoms). I've tried half a dozen other treatments and this is the first one that works. My headaches are down to 1/week, vs 4-5/wk, and are therefore fairly manageable. The only annoying side effect is dry mouth (I chew gum all the time).

Lo Duca is conscious of potential move
Washington (38-63) at San Francisco (42-58), 3:45 p.m. ET
SAN FRANCISCO -- Nationals catcher Paul Lo Duca said on Wednesday that he would be lying if he didn't take notice that the Yankees need a starting catcher because Jorge Posada suffered a right shoulder injury.Lo Duca is aware that he is on the trade block and most likely doesn't figure into the Nationals' plans for 2009 Lo Duca, 36, is doing everything he can to show scouts around the league that he has a lot left in the tank. In fact, entering Thursday's action against the Giants, Lo Duca is hitting .308 with eight RBIs for the month of July. He also has shown his versatility by playing left field and first base and has held his own at both positions. Lo Duca is now the everyday first baseman for Washington because Dmitri Young is on the disabled list due to complications stemming from diabetes. Lo Duca lost his starting job behind the plate because of injuries and the hot bat of Jesus Flores. "Staying here is still an option, because if I'm going to get regular at-bats, I can still stay here and try to help the team win ballgames," Lo Duca said. "I understand this organization probably wants to move me because I'm probably not in the plans for next year." Pitching matchup
WSH: RHP Tim Redding (7-4, 4.17 ERA)
Redding was chased after allowing six runs on six hits in four innings Friday against the Braves, taking his first loss since May 9. Since then, the right-hander had nine no-decisions and a win, when he tossed six scoreless innings against the Astros on July 10 in his final start before the All-Star break. He said he wasn't rusty Friday, and threw a bullpen session earlier in the week to prepare for the start. His command with his fastball was good, but he missed his location with two offspeed pitches that cost him five runs. Redding is 0-4 with a 6.49 ERA in seven career games (five starts) against the Giants. SF: RHP Matt Cain (5-8, 4.08 ERA)
Cain pitched capably in his previous start -- six innings, three earned runs -- but he walked as many (five) as he struck out. Through the season, the righty's problems have revolved around his control. He's walked at least three batters in his past four starts and occasionally struggles keeping the ball down in the zone. Because of his location issues, Cain needed 110 pitches in his last outing -- nearly 20 per inning. Tidbits
In his last six games, Flores is hitting .476 with a home run and nine RBIs. ... The Nationals collected 14 hits on Wednesday and are now hitting .244 as a team. ... Saul Rivera now has a 3.39 ERA this season.

Breastfeeding provides the complete form of infant nutrition for the first
six months of life. However after six months breastmilk alone will not
be able to provide all the nutrients the infant requires to achieve optimum
growth and development. At six months breastmilk must be complemented
with a variety of adequate nutritious foods from the six food groups so that
the infant will have sufficient energy, protein and nutrients needed for
growth, increased activity and good health.
Global recession has caused many consumer goods, particularly
food items, to increase while wages and salaries have been
stagnant. Although the current financial crisis may look somewhat
bleak or depressing, families, especially those in which children are
present, need to ensure that in addition to saving money, the health
needs of all the family members are met. This issue of Nyam News
will give you the tools to tailor-make a plan for you and your family.
Lactation is the period following birth whereby milk is produced and
secreted. During the later stages of pregnancy, the female's body
prepares itself for lactation by laying down fat. Those fat deposits
laid down during pregnancy are used for future energy needs of the
infant through breastfeeding.
Zinc may not be one of the more well-known nutrients, but it is
essential for humans, as it plays an important role in many of the
