One day after a massive fire in Galena, Kansas, residents count their losses, but say they are still thankful. The grass fire was reported shortly after noon yesterday. Firefighters say strong, gusty winds broke a power line near Galena, causing the blaze.
Firefighters say about 600 acres of grassland is now burnt in Galena.
"It was horrifying," says Carolyn Williams.
Williams' son, who lives next door, was at home sleeping while a massive fire came dangerously close.
"I think one of the firefighters pounded on the door and helped wake him up," says Williams.
Both Williams' and her son's homes are undamaged, but her shed, and everything in it, is charred. All that's left is shock.
"Kind of numb," says Williams.
"We've had fires there before, but never to this extent," says Galena Fire Chief Bill Hall.
It took firefighters about 9 hours to get the grass fire under control on Sunday. Crews from Baxter Springs, Columbus, Baker Township, Redings Mill, Seneca, Carl Junction, Joplin, and Oronogo all pitched in.
"I think neighbors and everybody need to help each other," says Williams. "Cities need to help each other. Because all you have are your neighbors, your friends, and your family."
Williams' van was ruined by the fire.
"I've had hail damage, but nothing like this. Nothing. And to be honest, this morning is the first time I've even looked at my car, because I just didn't want to see it," says Williams.
Her insurance company has yet to complete the claim.
One of Williams' cats was burned. She's now buried the body.
So much land is burnt, but not destroyed.
"It'll all come back green this spring," says Chief Hall.
Then there's the most important part.
"It's a thing. It's replaceable," says Williams.
Residents we talked with say Empire District Electric has offered some sort of reimbursement to pay for damages, since officials say the fire was caused by downed power lines.
Other residents in the area managed to keep the grass fire away from their properties by using garden hoses to dampen nearby land.

NAUGATUCK -- Investigators are working to determine the cause of a fire that burned down a vacant single-family house off of Hunters Mountain Road early Sunday morning.
The Naugatuck Fire Department received a 911 call from someone at 592 Horton Hill Road. A man said he saw flames and smoke shooting high above a tree line behind his property. When firefighters arrived, they realized the flames were actually coming from a secluded piece of property on the opposite side of Naugatuck at 100 Old Highway Road, which is 2.5 miles away, as the crow flies, from 592 Horton Hill Road; it's a 4.5-mile drive.
"By the time we got there, the garage and the house were both fully involved and the building had collapsed; only one wall was standing," Fire Chief Ken Hanks said.
Nobody was injured. It took firefighters from two towns – a career department in Naugatuck and volunteers from Oxford – a few hours to completely douse the flames. Naugatuck Street Department employees also were called in to dump sand and salt on icy roads.
The house is located on a very narrow, windy road with no fire hydrants. Firefighters tapped into a hydrant at the corner of Hunters Mountain Road and Old Highway and continuously filled up two, 3,000-gallon tanker trucks. Firefighters prevented the the flames from spread to nearby woods in the state forest property.
Volunteer firefighters from Bethany and Beacon Falls were called to standby at Naugatuck headquarters at 41 Maple St.
As of Sunday morning, state and local fire marshals were on scene trying to determine what caused the blaze. Empty beer cans and other debris was found nearby, but firefighters said they were left there previously. There was also no obvious sign of a fire pit and the temperatures were very cold overnight between Saturday and Sunday, so investigators did not initially believe anyone had a party there.
"Right now, it's too early to tell the cause," Hanks said at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. "It's still under investigation."
The one-and-a-quarter-story house was 864 square feet and sits on 36 acres. It was built in the Old Style in 1924. The owner is listed on Naugatuck land records as Billy Carvalho, who was believed to have been trying to rent the property.
Carvalho could not immediately be reached for comment.
This is the second fire Naugatuck has responded to since Friday. On Friday afternoon into the evening, fire destroyed a large garage on Cotton Hollow Road where a woodworker kept his office.

There are rare occasional occasions in my house when No. 5 son (age 11) needs to be home on his own. He's been agitating for that "right" already for years, saying "I can handle it!" and "I'll be fine!"
Now he feels completely the opposite. And I can pin it to a very specific date; it all started Dec. 30 when we arrived back home late in the evening returning from Indiana, where we celebrated the holidays with my mom, my siblings and a couple nephews.
You see, No. 5 spent the entire 11-1/2 hour mini-van ride home relentlessly reading a book given to him by my big sister: "UNEXPLAINED! Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences, and Puzzling Physical Phenomena." It's chock full o' stories about UFOs, mermaids and mermen, and the possibility that pterodactyls still exist. It was written by a guy named Jerome Clark, who included in the book one of those fairly lengthy bios that guys who write about UFOs, mermaids and mermen, and the possibility that pterodactyls still exist always seem to have (including mentions of awards and recognition from science-y sounding organizations).
(In fact, Clark was honored by The Society for Scientific Exploration with its "Dinsdale Award," which Clark is probably really super-proud of, but which makes me laugh out loud, because it brings to mind the classic Monty Python sketch about the Piranha Brothers (Doug and Dinsdale) which spent a good bit of time discussing Dinsdale's fear of a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman, which would roam the streets of London calling, over and over and over "Dinsdale?" "Dinsdale?"
Anyway, I hope none of this was lost on Jerome Clark when he won the award. But come to think of it, it must have made no impression on him, because after all, his "UNEXPLAINED!" book has no mention whatsoever of the possible ACTUAL existence of Spiny Norman.
But there's plenty of speculation about long-necked serpents living in lakes, hairy ape men roaming the Indiana woods, and alien encounters. Speaking of which, there's a chapter entitled "Stuart's Monsters," about a guy from New Zealand named John Stuart, which I've sometimes been called when people don't hear my name right. In the early 1950s, Stuart has a number of encounters with a "ghastly alien," which I've also been called when people don't hear my name right. Anyway, the hideous being is eight feet tall, with a large, bulbous head, red eyes and grayish, sinkingly putrid flesh. Slack mouth dribbling, horrible lips ... oops, sorry, got a little too engrossed in the gross parts.
And that's apparently what happened to No. 5 son as he read this book for 11-1/2 hours. He seems to have taken a bit too much of it to heart, because Jerome Clark, bless his Dinsdale award-winning little head, pretty much offers up tales like "Stuart's Monsters" without much disbelief.
Thus, No. 5 isn't quite so sure that being home alone is all that wonderful after all. I thumbed through the book with him a bit, focusing on the bits about UFOs, mermaids and mermen, and the possibility that pterodactyls still exist.
Turns out he's not afraid of these. The bigger concern is that he'll meet the same fate as Oliver Larch, an 11-year-old boy from near South Bend, Ind., who, in 1889 or 1890, was sent out one night to fetch water from the well. It was a clear night, with ample snow on the ground. Moments after Oliver leaves the house, the inhabitants inside hear blood-curdling screams! Cries of "It's got me!" They rush out to find the cries coming from ... the sky! And Oliver's footprints in the snow ... have simply stopped. Oliver is never seen again.
I rifled through the book to read this for myself, hopeful that Jerome Clark debunked it a little bit, and ready to rip it out and toss it in the trash. But it turns out the story wasn't even in the book; my big brother had told No. 5 this tale, which came from a "Strange But True" book my brother had read when HE was a kid.
I was ready to pick up the phone and give my brother a bunch of grief about it when I realized I too, had read that story when I was a kid, and (like my own son) had half-believed it. But honestly, who wouldn't? That book had been written by a guy named Norman Spiny!

Show: Were awesome, loved the Headliner Texas Tenors, loved Oasis of Dreams, loved loved the comedy show. We only saw the three but heard others talk about other shows and never heard a complaint one on the entertainment.
Embarkation: Was smooth as glass boarded approx at noon, our room was ready by 1:00 and luggage was waiting outside the room by 3:00.
Ports of Call
Nassau, been to the Bahamas before and just went to Senior Frogs for t shirts. Were not in the port long enough to feel comfortable about booking a tour.
St Thomas, was our favorite. Ship had some engine problems and we got into port late, had a tour booked with big blue excursions and was easy to get everything worked out and worth the money paid. I had seen things I would have never seen if I had stayed in town. This port is worth spreading your wings and touring the islands.
St Martin, beautiful, we did the shopping thing with use of water taxi and enjoyed our afternoon.
Food, was good, ate at the famous roast beef sandwich which was good, hubby did like the roast beef but not the rolls it came on. Salad bar was fantastic.
Did main dining room every night, food was OK, remember Royal several years ago and was blown away then but not so now. Did Windjammer once and glad I did not go back.
Staff, our state room attendant was great, if you are lucky enough to get Anthony on the 12Th floor you will not be disappointed. Wait staff was fun and friendly, if you are lucky enough to have Alma and Luis please tell them hi from me.
Room, was great we had started out on the 7Th floor aft and received an upgrade to room 12172, this room was handicap accessible and a little bigger than your average room, bathroom had walk in shower. Bed was by the bathroom but did not matter. Balcony was nice and never had any noise or obstructions.
Disembark, was easy, we did it first thing in the morning to catch an early flight, no problems what so ever, just didn't want to leave the ship.
Would I do Oasis again, yes probably, cost is a little more but I think well worth it.

Down the street from the WIS studios, the Department of Mental Health's Bull Street campus sits mostly empty.
There's not one public mental health institution in the whole state. Even Gov. Nikki Haley admits there's a gap.
Kelly Ann Troyer says in between that gap is where she and her 19-year-old son live.
"He's been treated at Duke University. He's been at MUSC. He's been at MUSC. He's been to the best neurologists, psychiatrists you know, he's had speech therapy and occupational therapy and physical therapy, and that's been our life," said Troyer.
Troyer says she emphasizes with the family of the Newtown shooter because she knows what it's like to have a son with violent tendencies -- an adult son you have to take care of.
"There's no way I would have a weapon in my house because I know it would be used on me," said Troyer.
And she is not alone. Troyer is a Midlands woman who runs a resource group for parents of children with mental illness says she sees it all the time, but people just don't talk about it.
"We've been talking about this for years and constantly people say 'Federation of Families of South Carolina? Never heard of that organization.' It's like we're out there," said Diane Flashnick, a worker for the group that helps parents dealing with children with mental illness.
Troyer says her group is out there to connect families with resources. It's a common struggle, she says.
"If I can't get help I need for my son, I know there are thousands of people in this state not getting help because I know who to call," said Troyer.
Depending on a child's diagnosis, there are several options in the state to help give parents a starting place.
"Early diagnosis is key factor in parents being able to know what's going on with their child, begin to get resources that will give them the tools they need and treatment options that are available and help them navigate the system," said Flashnick.
Flashnick says it takes work, and options may be limited, but they are there. Maybe because of what happened 786 miles away in Newtown, Connecticut people will seek them out.
"I got very angry because this is not the first time this happened in our country. Won't be the last, and if we provide adequate mental health care, treatment and facilities, there are many people who can live in recovery," said Troyer.

The Placer County Library plans to open and close its branches in Auburn, Granite Bay and Rocklin a little earlier some days beginning Oct. 1.
"We are pleased to be able to shift library hours and open a little earlier," explained county Director of Library Services Mary George. "We have received many requests from patrons asking us to align our hours more with the schedules of retail stores, and we are glad to accommodate them. This will make it easier for patrons to visit the library while out doing morning shopping, making post office runs and taking care of other errands."
George noted the Auburn, Granite Bay and Rocklin libraries have opened at 11 a.m. several days a week since 2008. On those days, it is not unusual to have library patrons show up at 10 a.m., unaware the libraries are not scheduled to open for another hour.
She emphasized that the schedules of the three branches are being adjusted, but the numbers of hours they are open each week are not being reduced.
The three branches will close at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. on some days. Each will remain open until 7 p.m. on one evening each week: Auburn on Mondays, Rocklin on Tuesdays and Granite Bay on Wednesdays.
Saturday hours will remain the same: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Other branch libraries also plan to modify their schedules to better meet the needs of their communities, George said.
She and her staff evaluated the schedules of all branch libraries for several months, reviewing circulation data, observing usage patterns and holding discussions with stakeholders.
The Placer County Library has branches in Applegate, Auburn, Colfax, Foresthill, Granite Bay, Kings Beach, Loomis, Meadow Vista, Penryn, Rocklin and Tahoe City. It also operates a Bookmobile and oversees the Placer County Law Library.
More information about the branch libraries and their schedules are available on the county website at http://www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/Library.aspx.

A football fundraiser for a woman battling rare bacteria was held on Friday night in Snellville. Hannah Rinehart's feet and hands were amputated after she contracted a bacterial infection, apparently from her dog's saliva. Friends, family and strangers came together to raise money for Hannah at South Gwinnett High School, where her husband is a teacher. "The love and support that we've received is something that cannot be easily expressed it's – it's amazing," said Mark Rinehart, Hannah's husband. Mark Rinehart, a member of Georgia's National Guard, says he's gotten a lot of help from Operation Appreciation, a nonprofit organization geared at helping Guard members. The group sponsored the fundraiser, providing the required raffle license to make it come together.Beth Waters of Operation Appreciation said they wanted to help "take the financial burden off of him and he could focus on his wife and her recovery."That recovery seemed doubtful last weekend as doctors prepared Hannah's family and friends for the worst after her heart rate jumped to dangerous levels."We had a tough time for the past couple of weeks, but I'm hopeful that the worst days are behind us and she's going to continue to get better," said Mark Rinehart. Better days he hopes, buoyed by community support and Hannah's fighting spirit."She's a strong woman. She's got strong support so we just pray for the best," said family friend Andie McDaniel. Family members said they have planned several more fundraisers for Hannah Rinehart. For information on how to help the family, visit: Hannahrinehart.org

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Wilmington City leaders approved spending close to $7,000 to help fund dredging costs for the Carolina Beach Inlet.
The decision comes after New Hanover County already received more than $78,000 towards emergency maintenance. Council voted to approve the request to be "good neighbors."
The federal government has stopped funding for the maintenance of shallow draft inlets throughout the United States. This directly affects maintenance dredging of the Carolina Beach Inlet.
The state of North Carolina has committed to funding half of the costs for the dredging activity. This is if local governments will pay the remaining costs. The total price is $101,450.
Wilmington is being asked to pay $6,828 to help with the emergency maintenance dredging for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. New Hanover County has already approved $78,312 for the dredging; and the towns of Wrightsville Beach and Kure Beach have agreed to give $2,275 each to the funding.
Councilman Charlie Rivenbark said he thinks the county should handle this funding. He doesn't think it's fair that people who don't live in a corporate city limit don't have to pay any additional cost.
"They're not paying a municipal tax," Rivenbark said. "We're paying the same thing they're paying county tax wise, and then addition to that, people who live in Wilmington and the three beach communities are made to pay even more. It's not fair, and it's been going on for years."
The resolution was brought up by Council member Neil Anderson for the New Hanover County Port, Waterway, and Beach Commission.

A man was killed in Nogales when a stolen truck hit a tree and caught fire.
The Nogales International reports that the truck's driver abruptly backed up after apparently spotting law enforcement officers checking vehicles heading into Mexico.
The newspaper reports that the truck hit two pedestrians who were not seriously injured and then struck a Border Patrol vehicle.
With a Border Patrol agent in pursuit, the truck hit a tree and caught fire after losing control on a curve under a bridge.
The International reports that FBI agents were investigating. An FBI spokesman in Phoenix did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

My To-Do List for Today
There are mountains of laundry this morning for me to wash, fold, and put away,
but my tiny girl is smiling at me. How can I help but stay?
The carpet is in need of vacuuming and floors which must be scrubbed,
but my little one loves her bath, and so we linger in the tub.
The sheets are rumpled and askew, the bed just begging to be made.
But my sweet girl is cooing, I must hear what she has to say.
The trash in the can is overflowing it must be dragged out to the curb today,
but the baby is making faces. How can I help but play?
There are bills which need paying and all kinds of things I'd planned,
but my tiny one is holding my thumb. How can I loosen her hand?
There are dishes which need washing and dinner to defrost,
but she right now is yawning and I don't want this moment to be lost.
The bathrooms all need scrubbing. There is toothpaste every place,
but in my arms she's dozing with a smile upon her face.
I've learned that babyhood is fleeting and then its sweet moments gone.
The house just must stay messy and a million things undone.
There is only one sweet thing which must be done today,
because tomorrow will be to late for me to mother her this way.
So here we sit, curled in this chair, my sweet small girl and me.
We have cuddling to do and lullabies to sing.
We have cooing at each other and grinning on our list.
We've napping, and playing and a slobbery baby kiss.

This is such a sweet blog. God bless you. I am an older dad, but see a mothers heart here.
Love to hear your take on this author http://thelesliecrossdomain.com who seems to have an interesting view on the universe. The book series (The Nature of Reality) deals with a new cosmology that includes God in the universe but defines "Universe" as the original word means, everything that exists. Does see God as outside of what he created, so not a naturalist nor a pantheist, so quite an interesting take on things.
He or she (they don't specify) does believe the christian God and Bible, but rejects God being outside of time, and so on as misunderstandings from the Greeks, claims the Judeo-Christian view ought to be the opposite, God inside the dimensions, that they are not created things.
My head hurts thinking about this, but it seems to make sense.
What do you think about Leslie Cross?
Thanks for your blog! God Bless, Fred

I had a really early lunch at
11:15 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, to take advantage of the double points event that weekend. I was the only guest there and it was quiet, unlike other times of the day when I was there and it was really noisy, especially when there were groups around. The food was excellent and piping hot, and the portion was generous. I love their food and will certainly go back any day."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Food is always good ... servers
nice and staff is welcoming. The restaurant is allways humming."
Dined on 5/11/2014
The restaurant was a tad too dark
and too noisy for my liking. Otherwise, the food was excellent, as always, but unfortunately, the crab and lobster on the special menu for Mother's Day dinner, and my favourite dessert Tiramisu, were sold out. We weren't there that late - at 7:00 p.m.!"
Dined on 5/11/2014
Took my daughter there for her
22nd birthday. Staff were very attentive and food was quite good. Great for a date night or with family and friends. Prices very reasonable. "
Dined on 4/17/2014
We had three different pastas and
loved them all. Seafood, meatball, and chicken. Generous portions for a great price. Also, enjoyed friendly service. Good for families, young and matured."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Consistently excellent service,
top-notch Italian cuisine and the best pizza in town. A winner all around."
Dined on 2/26/2014
We always enjoy our meal here. The
food is tasty, the helpings are generous and the food always arrives at the table piping hot."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Service is good when you can find
your server. It's a little chaotic. Food is good though. No major flub ups. Get a reservation for sure."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This is a good Italian restaurant
with fair pricing. I had the veal in peppercorn sauce, which was quite good although the veal was a bit on the small side. My wife had the lobster and shrimp with fettuccine, which was very tasty. My daughter had the basic pizza, which had a tasty sweet tomato sauce. Good service, friendly, nice decor, good menu. I would go back to try the pasta. I like that it is local."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food was mediocre, at best. Venue
needs a refresh, very tired and worn. OK, but nothing special."
Dined on 1/23/2014
We especially appreciate the
numerous vegetarian options on the menu. This was a return trip for some of us, but the first time for lunch. We will definitely be back again. Looking forward to trying new dishes, as well as enjoying those we've previously ordered. Service was informative, well-timed, and friendly."

As a group dining out, this was a
perfect location. The food is good and it's comfortable and relaxing. All in all a pleasant experience."

Everyone in our party enjoyed
their food. The service was excellent. The menu has lots of choices for everyone. We'll likely be back."

Nice little place. We went there
on a hot day and the air conditioning was just not enough. Service was good enough and food came at a descent time. Food was great, mainly pasta and pizza. Wine list not too man selections. Price is good. Will come again."
Dined on 7/15/2013
I think this is my mom's favourite
restaurant - it's in her neighbourhood, she likes the food. It is often busy, so reservations are recommended. Yesterday they had some specials for Mothers' Day - tried the lobster and shrimp fettuccine in a white wine sauce. Lots of lobster, but dried out; and the whole dish was very greasy. From all of our other dining experiences, I would say that you can't go wrong with the veal. Or the roasted vegetables, normally potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower. The small caesar salad is actually quite large, the dressing is good but the lettuce is cut in strips, so hard to eat. Manicotti and lasagne are also good. Don't bother with the bread, it is usually dried out."

With service this good, Paisano's
could have fed us gruel and we would have been delighted. Delicious, lovingly prepared Italian cuisine, with exceedingly generous portions in an establishment that truly cares about its customers. One of the most upbeat dining experiences in the GTA!"

Excellent neighbourhood italian
restaurant. Service could have been a bit more attentive, but would not stop me from going again. Excellent place for families."
Dined on 3/12/2013
The food was really good and
everyone in the party enjoyed it a lot. It was somewhat noisy in the restaurant that evening and parking is always a problem."
Dined on 3/10/2013
If you're looking for good
home-cooked, family atmosphere Italian food, this is the place for you. Food is always more than enough, tasty and very reasonably priced. I enjoy the veal and carbonara dishes."
Dined on 2/24/2013
Excellent waitress. Not rushed
through dinner. Food hot and fresh"
Dined on 2/11/2013
The food was delicious; the
portions generous, and good value. Each member of our group ordered a different entree (veal, another meat, seafood & vegetarian), and we were all pleased with our choices. A plethora of menu choices for vegetarians was most appreciated! Unfortunately, a VERY large and boisterous party seated nearby detracted from our experience; hence the poor service and energetic noise ratings. We were so distracted by the noise, etc. that we didn't even pay attention to the ambiance. A return visit, at a quieter time is definitely in order."
Dined on 12/6/2012
We were especially delighted with
Paisano's commitment to their gluten-free customers. :-) First time there, but it won't be our last!"

Dr. Don,
What is the difference between a money order,
cashier's check, certified check, traveler's check and bank draft?
Which one is the most secured method of payment? Thank you. --
Sandeep Selects
- advertisement -
All of these methods of payment are a way of
involving a financial intermediary in the transaction to provide
some security and reassurance that the seller is receiving good
funds from the buyer. Transaction fees, guarantees, convenience
and security all factor into which is preferred as the method of
payment -- not just security.
Money order: Issued
by both financial and nonfinancial institutions, it is a financial
instrument that allows the named individual, or payee, on the order,
to receive the amount of cash specified on the money order. The
United States Postal Service explains the features
of its money orders on its Web site and should be used as a
benchmark when comparing other money order providers. The Bankrate
feature, "Phony
money orders cause increase 'holds' for all," discusses
how fraudulent money orders have made banks more cautious in accepting
these financial instruments.
Cashier's check: A
check drawn by a bank on itself, signed by a cashier or bank officer
and payable to a third party, named by the customer. An instrument
used to guarantee funds are available. There is usually a fee associated
with cashier's checks.
Certified check: A
check drawn on a bank account where a cashier or bank officer certifies
sufficient funds are available in the individual's account for the
check to clear. Funds in the account are earmarked to pay the certified
check upon presentation to the bank. A certified check differs from
a cashier's check in that the cashier's check is drawn on the bank's
funds and a certified check is drawn on the account owner's funds.
Bank draft: A check
drawn by the bank against funds deposited into its account at another
bank that authorizes that bank to make payment to the individual
named on the draft. A sight draft is payable on demand, whereas
a time draft is payable at some future date or payable under certain
Traveler's check: A
check issued by a financial institution in denominations like cash
that functions as cash, but the financial institution protects the
check holder against its loss or theft prior to its use in a transaction.
Unlike a money order, a traveler's check is cashed by the person
that purchased the check. Some issuers provide travelers checks
free of charge to existing customers. Otherwise, the individual
purchasing the traveler's check pays a commission on the purchase.
There are potential fraud issues with all of these
forms of payment. It falls to the seller of goods and services to
decide what form of payment he will accept, and what recourse he
will have in the face of fraud. The buyer, unless it's his intent
to defraud, is looking to exchange money for goods or services.
In selecting acceptable methods of payment for goods it is definitely
"seller beware." Of these methods of payment, the cashier's
check is my preference because it is the bank's check drawn on the
bank's funds.
I didn't discuss PayPal, wire transfers or other methods of electronic
funds transfer. But even a personal check, if the seller waits for
the check to clear before he releases the goods, can work as a secure
method of payment.

(January 12, 2010) – The entire skating family was saddened to learn of the death today of revered coach Linda Brauckmann, of Vancouver, BC. Best known as the coach of 1973 World Champion Karen Magnussen, Brauckmann's international coaching career spanned nearly 50 years. An NCCP Level 4 Certified coach, she coached in both the USA and Canada, and mentored a host of talented skaters through the years. Her technical expertise and coaching ability were legendary, and in addition to her on-ice achievements, she also contributed to skating as co-author of several coaching manuals for professional and amateur standards, and is a founding member of the BC Coaches' Association. Most recently, she had served as a Senior Consultant with the BC Centre of Excellence. She was inducted into the Skate Canada Hall of Fame in 1996, alongside Karen Magnussen.
Skate Canada wishes sincere condolences to Linda's family and wide network of friends throughout the world.

Thanks to countless cocktail parties, bountiful family dinners and decadent sweets, the average American gains eight pounds from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day – which means consuming an extra 28,000 calories in a matter of just six weeks.
Piling up your plate with holiday favorites can lead to piling on the pounds, but that doesn't mean you should resign yourself to bigger clothes come January. Bergen County nutrition experts say you can keep off those unwanted pounds this time of year.
The first step: Stop referring to the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's Eve as "the holidays," says Erin Spitzberg, registered dietitian, certified nutritionist and owner of Nutrition By Design in Oradell.
"Don't look at every office party or gathering with friends or family as a time to splurge and chalk it up to the holidays," Spitzberg says. "You will almost guarantee going up a size by the spring. The biggest mistake is thinking that it's acceptable to take a six-week vacation from your eating and exercise regimen just because it's the holiday season."
That doesn't mean skipping out on Thanksgiving dinner at Mom's or staying in on New Year's Eve. It may be impossible to maintain your normal exercise routine when the in-laws are in town or weekends are spent scavenging the mall for the perfect presents for everyone on your list. That's why Julie Balay, a registered dietitian in Cresskill, advises modifying your healthy lifestyle to accommodate the demands of the season – and keeping your expectations in check.
"You have to be realistic," she says. "It's going to be hard to lose weight this time of year, or to avoid eating all of the not-so-healthy foods served at parties or holiday dinners."
If you can't squeeze in your usual 30- to 60-minute gym sessions, aim for shorter bursts of activity throughout the day, whether it's taking a break from wrapping gifts to jump rope, going for a short walk or jog while the pies are baking, or challenging your nieces and nephews to a boxing match on the Wii.
If you have your sights sets on maintaining your current weight – while still savoring a slice of Mom's famous pecan pie – rest assured it can be done. First identify your must-have splurges, and then plan ahead. If it's just not Christmas without baking sugar cookies with your kids, plan to savor one or two before packing up the rest as gifts for family and friends.
"When you're confronted with a food, ask yourself if the calories are really worth it," Balay advises. "Save your indulgences for your absolute favorite treats that only come around once a year, and enjoy them in moderation."
Budget calories ahead of time with a healthy breakfast (think filling fiber, like oatmeal) and a salad loaded with veggies for lunch before Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
"You never want to fast all day before heavy holiday meals," Balay says. "If you're starving by the time you arrive to a party, you are going to overeat."
Above all, don't hide the scale in the closet for six weeks or conveniently lose your gym membership card until after New Year's Day. Whether you maintain a food journal, frequent your favorite weight loss message boards or step on the scale once a week, don't let unwanted pounds creep up on you.
"Holidays or not, you have to continue eating well and exercising – even if you have to modify your routine," Spitzberg says. "For most people, accountability is key."
Beverage Blitz
Food isn't the only diet and exercise saboteur this season: Most holiday meals come complete with cocktails that are high in calories and short on nutritional value. Skip sugary mixed drinks in favor of things like wine or a rum and diet coke, and alternate alcoholic beverages with water or seltzer to stay hydrated and lessen the caloric impact.
"The more we drink," Spitzberg says, the less we care about what we're eating – and the less likely we are to go to the gym the next morning."
Before you gobble up Thanksgiving dinner, try these tips to lessen the impact on the scale:
1. Skip the Apps. Save your calories for the main meal.
2. Lose the Leftovers. Don't take anything home from a party; if you're hosting a holiday meal, pack up leftovers for your guests.
3. Make Hard Choices. Determine your favorite splurges ahead of time, whether it's sweet potato casserole or apple pie, and enjoy small helpings of only what you love most.
4. Trick Your Eye. Whenever possible, serve holiday meals on salad plates.
5. Forget Fasting. A surefire way to overeat is to show up starving, so eat sensibly before the big meal.
6. Squeeze It In. A workout, that is. Register for a turkey trot, wake up early for a 30-minute gym session or catch up with your cousins over a pre-dinner walk.

A wave of dry heat sweeping over the region will push temperatures to the triple digits before the official start of fall next week.
Temperatures Friday in the Southland hit 100 degrees or higher everywhere but at the coast, according to the National Weather Service.
Even hotter, near-record temperatures are predicted for Saturday for the coast and 5 freeway corridor.
Inland Orange County could reach 106 degrees on Saturday, the weather service predicts.
Even a few miles from the coastline, temperatures are expected to peak in the 98 to 103 degree range.
At the beaches, expect temperatures to hover in the 80s and 90s.
To stay safe in the heat, drink plenty of non-alcoholic beverages, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, and never leave pets, children or the elderly in a vehicle. Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day.
Some relief should arrive Sunday when temperatures are expected to drop about 10 degrees throughout the county.
Weekend Temperatures
Inland cities in Orange County will bear the brunt of the heat.
In Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, the highs for Saturday are about 104 degrees.
In Rancho Santa Margarita, the high for Saturday is about 102 degrees.
In Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano and Fountain Valley, the highs for Saturday are in the high 90s.
In the beach cities of San Clemente, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, the highs for Saturday are in the high 80s to low 90s.
What are your plans for this weekend? How do you plan to stay cool? Tell us in the comments.

12oz bottle poured into shaker pint. Thanks to Jesse13713 for this one!
A: Pours a clear but very dark crimson-brown with a finger of dense, off-white head with good retention and spotty lacing.
S: Complex malt aroma going on here: dark fruits, though less than might be expected from a wee heavy (to my personal enjoyment), lots of toffee, a bit of tartness, and a good deal of coffee.
T: Opens with a bit of tanginess, which gives way to a powerful dark fruit (figgy, plummy) sweetness. A bit of coffee and toffee flavors can be picked up behind those two, along with a newly introduced vanilla.
M: Light body, moderate carbonation, and a slightly syrupy, sweet, very vanilla-y finish.
D: An enjoyable beer, if it wasn't for the price and limited availability this could be my go to Wee Heavy behind Skullsplitter.

Poured a twny color with a thin quick to fade white head,almost flat in appearance,I was a bit surprised.Aromas of dark fruit and a tinge of smoke,rather lighter than expected,dark fruit,brown sugar,and a faint smokiness on the palate,all seem very subtle.Somewhat flat in the mouth but it is fuller.Somewhat wanting more in this beer,I was a bit let down in its lack of complexity really.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber brown with a smallish creamy off white head that retains fairly well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is a bit subdued - some sweet peaty smokey malts with a little dark fruit and alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts with some peat and smoke and a some bitter alcohol in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a decent Scotch Ale. I would prefer it to be a bit better balanced between the sweetness and alcohol.

12oz brown bottle, no freshness date though its a beer you can cellar.
Tiny bubbled head with a faint crackle yet there is some rings of lace left on the glass. Deepest brown around with a tinge of burgundy. Think malty nose, spicy alcohol, earthy sweetness with a bit of ripe star fruit or papaya. Creamy and smooth, full body. A whole lot of malt thrown down on the palate. Brown bread, teething biscuits and faint caramel comes to mind. Alcohol is quite the warmer here, not hot but its there with a peppery tone which pairs up with the modest level of hopping to help balance this brew out.
Proof that not all collaborations have to be these massive tricked out insane beers ... it simply can be just good beer.

Bottle pours a dark amber body with a medium sized beige head. Attractive patchy lacing.
Aroma is malty toffee and caramel with aromatic pine resin.
Medium body and carbonation.
Taste has toffee and caramel malty dominance, complimented by a very nice smoky peat element. Pine hops add a nice counterpart to the malts and there is a hint of dark fruits underneath. Alcohol is concealed very well.
One of the better Scotch ales I've sampled recently, especially from this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to mntlover for this fine bottle.

12 ounce bottle, surely no bargain here, $3.99 per at DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY.
No freshness info offered, but the message on the rear from brewer Bagby is dated Dec 2010 and the etching on the bottle talks of aging this one.
Pours a bold darker shade of honey amber, clear and resting under a medium tan head. Head shows moderate retention powers and leaves a thicker film and ample lace.
Nose of whole wheat bread, caramel and just a hint of smoke.
The style is all about the malt and this one is to style. Waves of maple wash over the palate, more light smoke, sneaky very late hop nibble provides a weak attempt at balance. Sweet but nowhere near cloying.
Malt lovers rejoice at this unexpected, yet quite welcome Stone collaboration. Looking forward to seeing more...

The beer pours a brownish color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee malt with some peat smoke and some dark fruit. There is also some alcohol in the aroma but it is not too strong. The flavor is heavy on the toffee malt. There is a little bit of peat character in the flavor but what really comes through the most is the dark fruit. I get some cherries and prunes as well as some alcohol. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A fairly good scotch ale.

Pours a dark tawny brown with a very thin light tan head. Significant lacing that leaves the glass messy.
The nose is pleasant but not particularly vibrant or striking. I smell dark caramels, bready malts, and some toffee-like sweetness.
The taste isn't overly complex but is pleasant. There's the taste of baking bread, dark fruits, and a slight hint of alcohol, although I would never guess this beer is as strong as it is. A balanced scotch ale but a tad uninteresting and disappointingly simple.
A medium to thick mouthfeel. Appropriate for the style.
A solid idea and an interesting collaboration from three of my favorite local brewers, but not a particularly noteworthy or memorable beer. This one does get extra points though for hiding its alcohol so well. It's startling!

Pours a dark DARK ruby red into a snifter with a One and a half finger head. No lacing or retention. Scents of scotch malts and leather. The taste is much the same: leather, carmel, red grapes. Mouthfeel is a little thin with a strong alcohol feel. Overall, this is a good strong scotch but nothing special.

Deep dark mahogany brown with crimson highlights when held towards the light, thicket of deep tan head forms quite the khaki colored finely bubbled texture with evenly strewn lacing amongst each sip. Aroma has hints of citrus/chocolate melded together at first with big robust malt layers providing a pathway for evil spirits in this case...alcohol. Flavor has hints of smoked malt, big caramel juiciness with a layer of chocolate syrup coating the palate when taken as a gulp. A bit hot with alcohol which is understanding for they style and an attempt at such a callaboration. Juicy layers of mint and pine lay sufficient for me, once another sip is taken. Yet I'm staring at another almost full pint, mouthfeel is medium bodied a bit cloying with unresolved alcohol and residual sugars post fermentation. Definitely in light of the typical collaboration ale, my question is why didn't they ferment this out all the way...the alcohol and residiual sugars become pretty heavy on the palate and pure drinkability level.

This beer pours a brown color, with a mohogany color when held up to the light. It has a thin foamy head that fades fast, leaving a decent lacing.
This beer has a malty sweet aroma. It smells slightly of toffee, with some biscuit like hints as well.
This beer tastes like it smells. Sweet caramel moat, with some toffee and biscuit. A slight molasses flavor mixes in as well.
This beer is crips and refreshing. It leaves a toffee like aftertaste. it is carbonated well for the style.
This beer might make a good session beer. It is high in alcohol, and that might be a problem since I cant tell at all. I could drink this all night.
Overall: This is a great beer from three great breweries. First great beer since I have been back in the States.

S - Alcohol was sweeping this this forest away with an oaky background
T - Malts is very lush with sweet fruit parading through slight bitterness

(Served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer pours a clean deep dense clear garnet brown that glows and a thick fizzy light tan head last for a good bit. There is a nice swirl of tiny bubbles that push to the surface.
S- The blended brown malt aroma has some nutty qualities and a soft peat hint.
T- The pot caramel is slightly sweet with a dry toffee malt note to follow and a soft diacetyl buttery note. There is a dry caramel flavor that comes through as the beer opens up and a faint wood and peat hint in the finish.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a faint fizz that compliments the dry finish and no alcohol heat noticed.
O- This is a tasty beer with a good malt profile nice depth, flavor and character and just enough peat to add mystery without all the band-aids.

3.3/5 rDev -14.1%
Looks like a coca cola in my glass with an unusually thick head at the top. The head dissapears almost before I can take a sip. The aroma is very malt-forward with a little bit of vodka-like alcohol smell in the back of my nose. The taste is earthy with so much malt it almost covers up the booziness. The beer tastes a little too flat for my taste. This doesn't seem to be anything special taste-wise. It reminds me of a super amber bock.

Preseason Coaches Poll Out:
The point is that Kiffin is embracing UT traditions and their fanbase will love it. Who cares what everyone else thinks?
We would appreciate any coach who did the same for UGA.
5. Always wear an onion on your belt.
You couldn't dream up a chant that carries less impact than those 7 maxims.
Only thing I can figure is that Kiffin will just tell the kids, "Before Games, we read Maxim."
As in the magazine.
I see what you did there...
Dr. Wagner that was the style at the time.
See, I know this story is bogus because most Vols from the Fulmer glory years not named Manning can't read.
He's going to work in fulmer's maxims next. "everything is better with butter, cheese, and bacon." damn solid advice.
Is that Fulmer or Paula Deen's maxim?
The 7 Kiffin Maxims:
1) There is only one God, Kiffin, and "The Plan" is his prophet.
2) Any decision made by the Kiffin, whether an onside kick when up by 20 or a bubble screen with :04 left in the game is all part of the plan.
3) An interception is part of the plan as it gives thee an opportunity for the comeback victory.
4) No starting quarterback shall be named...for that is part of the plan.
5) Defensive players shall be touted for the Heisman. Not because there are no notable offensive players, but because it is part of the plan.
6) A loss to any team is part of the plan.
7) Whether by word or deed, everything is part of the plan.
I am told the Kiffins painted over the Seven Maxims of Fulmer:
1. The coach that makes the most mistakes will never accept the blame.
2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - stab your predecessor in the back.
3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up...order more doughnuts.
4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game by keeping the ball between the tackles.
5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle off the field...for this is the WINNING EDGE.
6. Press the university and the local authorities. Here is where the breaks are made.
7. Carry the NCAA to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes an hour.

NEWBURYPORT — Runners, walkers and supporters gathered outside of the Greater Boston Running Co. on Water Street yesterday morning for the Nate Bibaud 5K Road Race.
Hosted by the Joppa Flats Running Club, 400 runners participated in the third annual race to help support the Nate Bibaud Recovery Fund.
In December 2010, 27-year-old Amesbury native Nate Bibaud suffered a spinal injury in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. With the help of his mother, Nate organizes fundraising events such as road races to help combat the medical bills that he describes as "crazy expensive."
Speaking about the road races, Bibaud said, "We try to make it more than just coming to help me — we try to create a fun atmosphere that people can enjoy."
This race was nothing short of that description as Newburyport has proven to be a successful location for the fundraisers. Yesterday provided another great turnout with hundreds of people excited to be there.
Not only does Bibaud help organize and attend events, he is also quite an artist. His drawings were on sale at the race as well as clothing that features his designs. Prints of his artwork can be purchased online at www.flat-earth.net, and his personally designed clothing can be found at John Farley Clothiers in Newburyport and Surfland on Plum Island.
As for the race, Pat Fullerton, 24, of Bradford, came in first in the men's division with a time of 15:3. Maddy Hribar, 29, of Newburyport, a runner training for a long distance race in Colorado, came in first in the women's division in a time of 18:15.
However, there were two runners who stole the show with a finish-line story that captured everyone's attention. Prepared at the end of the race was a proposal spelled out in letters with the future groom finishing with enough time to grab the ring and get down on one knee to greet his now-fiancée as she came across the finish line. Unfortunately, their names were not available.
Also, the first annual art scholarship was given by Nate Bibaud to Rebecca Warner of Triton High School.
To learn more about Bibaud, contribute to the fund or attend the next event, visit www.natebibaud.org.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A new poll shows Gov. Tom Corbett's popularity shrinking, even though he scored points for challenging the NCAA sanctions against Penn State.
The Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday says 51% of registered voters believe the Republican does not deserve re-election next year. Thirty-one percent said Corbett deserves another term.
The poll of 1,221 voters says 42% disapprove of his job performance, up from 38% in a November survey by the Connecticut-based university, while those who approve shrank from 40 to 36%.
Fifty-three percent of respondents said the NCAA sanctions were too severe. Forty-three percent approved of Corbett's court challenge while 37% disapproved.
The telephone survey was conducted over six days ending Sunday. The sampling error margin is plus or minus 2.8%age points.

Charlie Hulme joins Vari-Lite as regional sales manager for the Western US. Hulme spent seven years in the automated lighting industry with another manufacturer. During that time, he served as regional account manager for the Midwestern US, special projects manager, and also as sales manager for architectural projects. Part of his responsibilities included the development and management of a regional dealer base. Most recently, he was sales engineer for the system integration group at Audio Visual Innovations.
"We hit a home run with the Series 3000™ fixtures," said Vari-Lite vice-president of sales Bob Schacherl. "The demand is amazing. I've seen nothing like it in my 20 years in the automated lighting industry. Because there are so many lighting professionals out there desiring Vari*Lite products, it was extremely important that we bring in someone who understands the industry, the tight deadlines and who knows what it takes to ensure that our customers' needs are met."
"It's an honor to join Vari-Lite, considering the role the organization has played in the industry over the years," Hulme said. "Given the history of innovation, commitment to quality and depth of resources available, I'm confident that the company will continue the tremendous growth it's seen since it started offering products for sale only a few years ago."
Hulme will be at Vari-Lite LDI Booth #901, Nov. 21-23 in Orlando.

I am frustrated to realize that we have decided to allow such dangerous vehicle operation without real consequences. At minimum, anyone who seriously injures someone through careless driving should lose their driving privileges. This makes the bike lane sound like a dangerous place.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Editor's note: This a corrected version of this story. The Adventure will be leading the Parade of Sail in this year's festival.
For the first time in 20 years, one of Cape Ann's historic schooners will race under sail in this weekend's Schooner Festival.
The 122-foot historic wooden dory fishing schooner Adventure will be challenged in the Mayor's Cup Race by a record number of vessels, including the 80-foot Adirondack III, captained by Timothy Lord.
The spice of the challenge between these two boats may be that the 60-year-old Lord was the last captain to helm the working Adventure, when it was a passenger sailing vessel and education facility for school groups from 1988 to 1994.
"This is a very exciting time for the Adventure and her supporters as she returns to her place among the historic tall ships" says Schooner Adventure Executive Director Joanne Souza. "She will be racing for the Mayor's Cup on Sunday of Gloucester Schooner Festival, but in the near future, she will be sailing so supporters and visitors will be able to experience the life of a Gloucester fisherman at the beginning of the 21st century."
The Adventure was built in 1926 in Essex, is a National Historic Landmark, an official project of Save America's Treasures, and the flagship for the city of Gloucester.
"I spent a portion of my childhood growing up on the schooner and specifically remember one of the best fireworks shows of my life being aboard the Adventure," said Lord's daughter, Sarah Lord.
She said her father, a heart attack survivor, works his heart out on the Adirondack III, much as he did on the Adventure.
"I know this weekend will be the icing on the cake, even if he doesn't win," she said.
While several schooners have already arrived, the majority of the vessels should arrive today.
Besides the Adventure, the Virginia, Roseway, American Eagle and Liberty Clipper, all over 80 feet, will be sailing in the festival. Additionally, at least six schooners, including the Adironack III, will be offering spots to paying passengers to sail over the weekend and during the race. Go to www.gloucesterschoonerfestival.net for further information about booking a sail on a schooner.
Other Cape Ann schooners will also participate in the weekend festival. The Adventure will be the leading schooner in the Parade of Sail at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, and will be joined by the Lewis H. Story, flagship for the Essex Shipbuilding Museum; Ardelle, flagship for Maritime Gloucester; Thomas E. Lannon, The Bald Eagle and Sugar Babe, all of Gloucester; and Green Dragon from Manchester; among the other vessels participating.
Assisting with this year's festival will be the Sea Scout Ship 5 out of Maritime Gloucester. It has been more than 25 years since a Sea Scout group was operating out of Gloucester and the newly formed Gloucester Ship is the only Massachusetts ship north of Boston. The group is part of the Boy Scouts' Yankee Clipper Council, and a national, co-ed outdoor program for 14- to 20-year-olds that promotes knowledge of the nation's maritime heritage and provides hands-on maritime education, training and experiences.
"It is exciting to be part of the new Sea Scout program and to carry on the lost traditions of North Shore Ship 5. We will do our best to help promote maritime heritage at Maritime Gloucester and at the upcoming Schooner Festival" said Julian Murray-Brown, a 15-year-old member. Teens from Gloucester High School Sailing and The Museum School/Project Adventure will also be assisting.
In addition to the sailing, Maritime Heritage Day takes place Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Area environmental groups and maritime heritage organizations will be set up with interactive exhibits along side of local crafters demonstrating their art. Sunny Fishcakes Music Review will perform during the afternoon. Lunch will be available on the pier.
Finally, this year's festival sees the return of a public food event. On Saturday afternoon, a Lobster Bake from 4 to 7 p.m. at Maritime Gloucester and Fitz Henry Lane Park will offer a lobster, corn on the cob and Virgilio's roll for $12. Beer, wine, soda and water as well as hot dogs and hamburgers will also be available. Music will be provided by Old Cold Tater. Advanced tickets can be purchased online at http://maritimegloucester.org/visit/events.php (scroll down to the bottom of the page), or at the Maritime Gloucester museum, or other local spots including the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce.

CATEGORIES Thrillers, CinematicalI would be surprised if today's spotlighted story does not inspire an episode of Law and Order. Screenwriting professors tell us all the time to find film ideas in the newspaper, but that long-running TV series tend to steal all the interesting true crime plots. Still, being inspired by news is different from lifting it as near-completely as Law and Order does. We can look at an article about a man arrested for murdering a woman and removing her lungs and heart and literally adapt it for a film -- with proper rights acquired -- or we can think about the general idea of a jobless man being so desperate that he kills the owner of an employment agency in order to make money off her organs. This latter idea, I call ...
Making a Killing
If you read of the actual case, in which the alleged murderer had been stalking the victim for many years, it would seem to be a very precise situation. The guy goes to the woman's office to get a job, he makes advances on her, she doesn't give him work, he becomes obsessed with her, he's jailed 30 days for punching and choking her, she ends up with five orders of protection against him, he ultimately ends up killing her and taking out her organs. The details confine it from being a story about the overall problem of unemployment and the desperation it causes in people.
But loosen up the story and it could be more significant to the broader issue. I see it as a film somewhere between The Assassination of Richard Nixon, which took a true story and made it a reflection of the general disillusionment of the mid 1970s, and American Psycho, which is more of a satirical impression of 1980s narcissism. Each of those films involve somewhat exaggerated representations of their eras and feature protagonists who illustrate the extreme of human desperation. The script based on the recent actions of Huang Chen should be similar, while also involving the ever-popular idea of organ harvesting (a la Dirty Pretty Things).
As of this time, authorities do not know what became of the woman's lungs and heart, but regardless of what the truth is, assuming that Chen sold (i.e. 'made a killing' on) the organs on the black market fits more with the story of a man driven to the edge by hopelessness in the job market. We may also ignore the fact that Chen's initial encounter with his eventual victim took place years before the unemployment rate became a crisis. Maybe in the film he's a serial killer who has murdered multiple employment office workers as retaliation for his status. Again, it's all about being inspired by the true crime and altering it to your narrative and thematic needs.
Oh, and if anyone decides to turn this pitch into a film, be aware that characters based on Chen and his victim will need a change in ethnicity, because unfortunately Hollywood tends not to make movies with Asians as lead characters.
