very noisy, looks like they have rooms for apartments. Will not stay there againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean rooms and nice and quiet"
Price was right. Hotel and rooms are a bit dated, but my room was clean and it was very quiet (exactly what I wanted). If you are on a limited budget like me and you don't care about a fancy newer hotel and all that the fancy extras, this worked great for my needs.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel For Familys"
we have been there before and it is very nice and close to everything and the pool and hot tub are very nice also we enjoy staying there and will be staying there againGenuine Expedia guest review
Hotel breakfast was disappointing, out of coffee, creamer was lumpy and old. Dingy feeling around hotel halls. Sheets were smelly and stiff and staff was very unfriendly both on the phone and in person.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Fishing through the ice"
Was good for what I visited for... price was right and suited the purpose. Spa was good after being out on the ice. Pool looked inviting.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"We got what we paid for."
The room was clean . The motel was receiving a new roof. It appeaed that the motel was getting a new face-lift. It served our purpose but wouldn't want to spend the day in our room.Genuine Expedia guest review
The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and spacious. Had immediate connection to wireless internet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
A hotel doesn't have to be modern and updated but clean and have friendly staff. When our room keys didn't work I went to the front desk and I got attitude for my keys not working. "Was it by a cell phone?" I am sorry but everybody carries a cell phone. If my key happened to go near my cell phone, I am sorry. I throw the keys in my purse with everything […] else I need. I asked for new towels and again we got attitude then we waited 30 min. I had to go back to the desk where I found her talking to her boyfriend. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not Recommended"
Very outdated hotel.Picture tube TV and old phone. Stained armchair in room.After washing my hands at sink,heard creaking or dripping in wall.Bad smell in room.Probably is reason window was open when we checked in.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good - not great."
The location is excellent being close to the hwy and downtown. Though the on/off ramps are tricky depending on which way you want to go. There is no direct way to go north onto the hwy. The lobby is nice and the front desk staff pleasant. The carpet in the hallway is stained. The room was clean and basic though it smelled musty. Bathroom was clean. […] Wi-fi was good. Continental breakfast was good, unless you are a diabetic - not many healthy choices. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to all the must see sights"
Our stay was pleasent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We have stayed at this hotel in the past and havent had much of an issue except it wasent the best hotel. We of course did come back because there were no serious issues untill this weekend. On out second night in this hotel we came back early to relax and clean up. We cam back to find the cable would be out all night! We also found that most of the […] outlets in the room didnt work! I did not expect to have to check them the first night.... When you would push a reset botton on one the entire room would go dark. When I spoke to the woman at the desk about this I was rudely argued with and told that the outlets were controled by switches and i must have been messing with them and did not have them on. I tryed everything to get them to work and i sugest to be where when staying at this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for price"
Me my mom and my 5 week old stayed here just to enjoy a couple days in Door County. We stay pretty cheap because we are never in the room. The hotel did not have an elevator and with an infant and all the luggage the stairs were hard. We checked in around 10:30pm and the girl gave us our room keys and we got to the room and started to walk in and realized […] the room was already occupied. The people were sleeping and did not notice we walked in on them. Other than that the room was spacious and clean. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
could hear everything but thankfully no one decided to make noise later! Was told room was being cleaned so couldn't get in early but walked by room and no one was there! I know it was a lie! It would have been nice since we traveled 5 hrs for a wedding!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"budget option for a no-frills overnight stay"
Within striking distance from Egg harbor, Fish Creek, Sister Bay and Ephiram. Level of trim is very basic, nothing fancy. No particular complaints. Breakfast was included. The indoor pool and spa are pretty nice. Overall, reasonable place at a reasonable price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not recommended!!!"
There was NEVER anyone at the front desk. We always had to wait for someone to come. Their "SUPER" breakfast was PITIFUL, sour waffle mix, no fresh fruit or yogurt, warm-cool coffee, one morning sour milk in the cooler. We were there for 3 consecutive nights and had to go down and get our keys "rekeyed" twice!! Why is that? They knew we were staying […] 3 nights!! How can they get by with no elevator with a 2 story building? The exit from the south was fine, but if you came from the north you had to go the business route through town or go past the exit and circle around from the south. We would NEVER stay at a Super 8 again!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Clean and Cozy hotel"
The hotel was clean. The breakfast needed to be stocked with more food. Ran out of food quickly. Overall great hotel for the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not for me"
Rude staff No smile No thank you Showed up the counter attendant looked and didn't say a word No hello, no can I help you Next morning little after 9:00 for breakfast was rudely told "this closes at 9:00" by same womanGenuine Expedia guest review
"Our Super 8 Stay"
Nice clean rooms. Quiet area. Pricey for a Super 8. Was disappointed that there was no public work station with computer and internet. That was expected in the price range we paid. Overall a nice motel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok to stay"
Room was clean, free internet connection worked, but motel looked old, no laundry room, unfriendly front desk. Not very pleasant to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not happy"
The house keeping was awrful. We had to go to the front desk to get clean towels and our door was left open after they "cleaned" our room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Much better rooms than last time I stayed there"
Updated rooms! No smokey smell like in so many older hotels. Only bad part is the location. Too close to busy road and windows don't keep street noise out. Very comfortable for an economy hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK for a couple of nights"
This hotel was ok for a couple of nights. The staff was pretty friendly, but they obviously had some booking issues with the people booking using other methods than calling the hotel directly. Also, there is no wi-fi in the rooms, you must be in the lobby to use it. The breakfast (which we looked at but didn't eat) consisted of just continental items, […] other than waffles. Room was clean and close to expressway. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice place to stay"
The room was clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the pool area. It appeared as though much of the hotel had been upgraded with new paint, carpeting, etc. In fact, the pool area looked as though it had been completely redone. We'd stay in this hotel again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just OK - no thrill hotel"
The hotel was way over priced for the quality of the hotel. The pool and whirlpool was nice except the lights were not turned on and it was after 10:00 PM. in the pool area. The room was ok, but really needed to be updated. There was no eleavator and we were placed on the second floor. There was no ice machine on the 2nd floor. The bed was comfortable […] and the place was quiet. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice place to stay for Steel Bridge Songfest."
Great location, convenient. Nice and quiet. Restaurant next door, just a short ride to downtown.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Helpful staff."
The staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. We were even allowed to use the breakfast room to visit and play cards with other family members also staying here in the evening. The room was fine - only one miss - the kleenex container was empty. Thank you.Genuine Expedia guest review
"OK, but..."
Hotel visit was OK. The only part that bothered me was that the cars of the manager's two teenagers were being parked in the handicap spot on a regular basis. I mentioned this to the desk and it continued to happened. We were there for 3 nights and these kids' cars were in the handicap spot at least 75% of the time. When we arrived, one of the kids […] pulled into the handicap spot and when I brought it to her attention, she said she would only be there for five minutes - 90 minutes later, the car was still there. Hope they get ticketed sometime soon. I have a relative that is handicapped and I see this type of abuse often. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"I was fine with it."
The pool is pleasant with the hot tub and a pool table in the pool area. Very close to downtown Sturgeon Bay and hi-way, it is a small town. Front desk was a pleasure, very honest and helpful after I messed up on my reservation they fixed it with Expedia. TV has enough channels but no premium stuff. Lots of fishermen and their families like the place. […] Breakfast was minimal but good enuf. I felt welcome and save and had enough space etc. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Super 8-Sturgeon Bay, WI"
First, the room shown on the Hotels.com website was not the room we were given, so we had to upgrade and pay the difference. We were told on Hotels.com that breakfast was included and then when we checked in, was told we had to pay extra for that. Our room must have been a smoking room at one time because it smelled like smoke, so we had to go buy disinfectant […] spray to reduce the smell. When we went to use the pool, it was so cold, we couldn't swim. When we finally checked out and left the hotel, all of our clothes, luggage, etc. smelled like stale smoke. Very disappointed..No towels were in our room, so we had to go and get towels every day..Would not recommend to any friends or family, we were very disappointed as this was a getaway for my birthday.. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad for what you pay for"
Considering the price, this place was conveniently located for what I needed and the basics were handled. The towels were replaced, beds made, etc. Except for one day, when the room was not taken care of at all. I was there for five days, and this didn't really matter to me. I did, however, leave a few items behind, which they held onto until I contacted […] them days later. When I need new key cards, they were on top of it. I cannot comment on the breakfast or amenities as I did not need them. Overall, for the price, it was worth it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
the hotel was nice but the fire alarm was hanging off the wall and there were stains on the rugs otherwise it was a nice stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Ice fishing hotel"
Great hotel for the price.We were there 3 days.The rooms were clean every day.The pool water was warm where you could just walk into the water.They have a restaurant that delivers great food in about 1/2 hour,at a good price.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Super 8 Motel in Sturgeon Bay-centrally located"
There is a little remodeling going on on one of the wings, but no big deal. It is located right by the main highway, but yet right on the edge of town. Less than one hour from Green Bay, and within close proximity of the other cities in door county. Very clean, and a very nice pool.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok when on a budget"
From the reviews I read before going to this hotel I was not expecting much just looking for a good bargain for a girls weekend to Door County. The location is a bit of a drive to wineries and other Door County Activities but not that far. The room was clean for the most part, but not the best I have been to by any means. The pool and hot tub were nice. […] The breakfast was not very good at all. There is make your own waffles which sounded like it would be good but the syrup was horrible. If you are just looking for cold cereal and juice this will work. By far the worst part of this hotel was the staff...they were impolite and not at all courtious when asking for the proper amount of towels in your room for the amount of ppl staying in it or extra pillows. They were just rude. They assumed that becuase we were a younger group we would be disruptive. We were there to have a good time but we are adults not children and we were not looking for someone to chaperone out trip. Great hotel for a very cheep price, couldn't beat that part!

No Problems with hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Sturgeon Bay"
Two problems A; We were on the first floor (ok with us) window curtain bottom was 7 inches higher than the sill, all could see in. I asked for this to be fix or move (the first hour we were there(Thursday) they said ok, 4 days later still not fixed. I ask they said yes sure, still never fixed, or moved us. B: only 1 wash cloth per day given to us, we […] ask for more still never got more. C; Had to be the worest coffee in the world. D: Carpet in Hallway very very dirty Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"about what I expected for the price"
Clerk at check-in was a bit rude. Clerk at check-out was friendly. Hotel is located between a highway and frontage road. Hotel does appear quite dated but room was clean enough. No iron/board that I saw. Would probably opt for something a little nicer next time I'm in S.B., but can't say I would never stay at this Super 8 again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"clean and comfortable"
this is a good lost cost option, it was great for the DCCGenuine Expedia guest review
"Sturgeon Bay, middle of all the action."
We choose the Super 8 in Sturgeon bay because it was near all the attractions. hotel was under remodeling, but still fully functional, Breakfast was good and pool area was awesome. would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I would not recommend this hotel."
When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was that it isn't in a very nice area. The guy at the desk was very nice and helpful. When we found our room, the lock looked like it had been forced opened at some point and now was replaced. The door wasn't even closed all the way and we just had to push it to open it. Once inside, we noticed the door also […] had a chain lock on the door (how comforting to know that if we leave, our belongings are not safe at all). The room had a TERRIBLE smell. It was in great need of remodelling and updating. The only reason we stayed after all of this was because we were only staying one night and I thought we could handle it. The next morning, the breakfast was fine. I tried to get more towels and shampoo from the housekeeper in the hallway, and she could not speak English and she had to point to her cart to figure out what we needed. The next time I will definately spend a few more dollars to get nicer accomodations. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"good but...."
I stayed here with my sister. It was good for the price for the area. If this hotel was anywhere else I would expect it to be at least $40 cheaper. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The only issue that we ran into was that the phones were not working. Not a huge deal when you have a cellphone... unless you are Canadian and you don't want to pay […] roaming charges. The staff suggested using the phone at a nearby gas station instead... I'm pretty sure they had a phone in case of emergencies around that should have been made available when none of the other phones are working. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Winnable Moments Against Arthritis
A look back at the countless stories of people overcoming arthritis in 2012
Arthritis is a day-to-day battle for many affected by the disease. Pain, stiffness, activity limitations, medication side effects, burdens on finances, emotional fallout, challenges with work and school are just some of the many battles a person with arthritis can face often and unrelentingly.
But there are countless moments, big and small, where people affected by arthritis realize they are winning in this fight against arthritis.
The staff of the Arthritis Foundation, Great West Region hear these stories from people across the eight states of our Region every day. It is these moments that truly represent the resolve and determination of those affected by arthritis in their ongoing fight to manage their disease.
AFeatures has compiled a snapshot of these Winnable Moments of people with arthritis that were shared with us in 2012. These everyday successes show that with the right attitude, the right information and the right goals – anyone can have their own winnable moments against arthritis.
"Since taking the Arthritis Foundation Aquatics Program, I have lost 26 pounds and four dress sizes!" Mary R.
"My mom finally had the courage to get her hip replaced. Now that she is recovered she is a walking machine!" Sara O.
"I can walk without limping after taking the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program. Kudos!" Beth M.
"The website helped me finally understand how my arthritis affects my body and joints and that makes me feel like I have more control." David K.
"After taking steroids for my arthritis for the past 11 years, I finally was able to get the right meds and have come off the steroids. I'm so happy to be done with them." Eliza S.
"As a parent, I cried when I dropped my son off at the Arthritis Foundation's summer camp. Not because I was sad, but because I was so overwhelmed and happy that he was going to finally have a summer camp experience like every kid deserves and I wouldn't have to worry about him feeling like an outcast there." Karen K.
"My doctor came up with a treatment plan for me at the beginning of the year. Thanks to exercise, some changes in eating habits and the right combination of meds I am getting closer to pain free." Maggie G.
"After I went to the Arthritis Walk and told my teacher and classmates, they learned about my juvenile arthritis and are nicer to me." Allison F.
"My arthritis pain is always going to be around, but some of the educational classes by the AF made me feel like now I have more options for how to feel better." Karen S.
"My son was our team captain at the Jingle Bell Run. It was a really neat way to get him involved with his sister's arthritis in a positive way." Ian S.
"I didn't even know what type of arthritis I even had until the
Arthritis Foundation sent me some brochures about it. Now I
can even spell it!" Delores G.
"We made it to the camp and we loved it! It was our first year, so we didn't know what to expect. I have to say, we went home feeling like it was the highlight of our summer! Next year can't come soon enough. :)" Jennifer M.
"When we got home after the camp it was time for my daughter's next medication injection. For the first time, she was able to concretely understand the direct relationship between her medication and her health. This time she didn't fight the shot. She didn't complain. And she didn't feel sorry for herself. With courage she got the shot ready for us to give to her and she was more open to discussion about ideas that might make the process less painful. She now has an understanding and acceptance that it is the medication that is allowing her to have the quality of life that she enjoys." Edie N.
"My RA is a day to day event, but now I know that in the long run I will benefit from trying to keep more fit." Kathy C.
"I sent my senator a message about how arthritis affects my life and he responded with an e-mail back to me. That was really cool." Dylan B.
"I started a walking route with some of my neighbors on Wednesday mornings. I feel stronger now, and we have fun gossiping and laughing at the same time." Eunice W.
"I was really proud to be able to run this year's Jingle Bell Run in honor of my dad, who had terrible arthritis in his back and knees since he came back from World War II. He never complained, never asked for special treatment. I ran to honor him and all that he taught me about resolve, persistence and strength. I love you, Dad!" Carrie L.
"I've had osteoarthritis for over 30 years. My knee was getting worse, so I decided to take control. I started cycling and joined the Arthritis Foundation's cycling events. I've continued to lose weight, which has decreased my knee pain dramatically. The other pertinent factors are keeping moving, working the joint and weight control is critical. The pressure factor on the knee is four times stronger for every pound of weight." Pete H.
"My sister finally met other people with her type of arthritis, which is kind of rare. I think it really made her feel better to know she wasn't out there alone." Katy S.
"I think my doctor and I started off on the wrong foot, and we weren't seeing eye-to-eye at first. This year something changed, and we have a more open and honest doctor patient relationship now. It makes a big difference." Cara T.
"Last year I signed-up for the Arthritis Walk but wasn't able to walk it at all. My goal was to walk at least half of it this year… and I finished the whole thing!" Laura F.
"I met another girl my age with juvenile arthritis. It was so weird and cool to talk to someone who knew what it felt like." Lindsay R.
"I've had arthritis for the past 17 years. I started volunteering for the Arthritis Foundation this year. It feels really zen to be able to use my free time to help other people who are just beginning their journey with arthritis. I hope to show them that happy days can be here again!"
Miriam T.
"I had my knee replaced this year during my senior year in high school. My goal was to be able to literally walk at graduation in June… and I did!! My physical therapist was awesome at getting me there." Julie W.
"I lost the last 12 pounds I needed to get to my target weight. Boy, did it make me feel better. Not just my body and my arthritis, but my spirits, too." Susan K.

"Why I Volunteer..."
Jane Johnson
Volunteer Jane Johnson's in-office volunteerism helps people with arthritis get the information they need.
Volunteerism is a part of Jane Johnson's soul. Much of her week is spent donating her time to community organizations, whether it's the Arthritis Foundation, the Denver Art Museum, Project Warmth or Denver Community Knitting.
As a volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation, Great West Region's Denver office, she has spent the past four years updating thousands of member and constituent records. It's a job she has performed with great precision and care, for she knows the value that the Arthritis Foundation gains by understanding the needs, connections and histories of those with arthritis.
Name: Jane Johnson
Location: Denver, Colorado
Type of Arthritis: I have osteoarthritis in my right knee.
What is the story of your diagnosis?
I was only recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the fall of 2012 at age 66.
How did you first get connected with the Arthritis Foundation?
I was looking for new volunteer opportunities that involved computer work, found the Arthritis Foundation and began volunteering in 2009.
How have you been involved with the AF as a volunteer over the years?
I've been doing data entry projects with the Arthritis Foundation since the beginning of my volunteer work here. I think it is valuable work because data entry and management is the way we communicate with members, constituents and those who inquire for information. Most people don't want to do data entry and want to do more glamorous projects.
I've touched countless records over the years to update them and clean up the data. Now I'm working on projects across all eight states of the Great West Region. In general, it takes me five to six minutes to update each member's record and I volunteer about 140 hours at the Arthritis Foundation ever year. I figure that this means I've worked on thousands of records over the years.
What makes a good volunteer?
The only difference between a volunteer and a paid staff person is a paycheck. Volunteers should take their role and commitment just as seriously as a paid staff person. They are counting on you.
Appreciation is the wage of the volunteer – that's your paycheck. It's nice that everyone here at the Arthritis Foundation always says thank you.
The Arthritis Foundation considers itself a volunteer-driven organization. Why do you think this is so important?
Volunteers free up professional staff members to do the really important work. We allow staff members to concentrate on work towards the Arthritis Foundation's mission.
Those volunteers that do outreach for the Arthritis Foundation through advocacy, health fairs and more are so vital. They act as the face of the Foundation to the community.
What are some of your favorite parts of the Arthritis Foundation volunteer experiences?
I like learning systems and how they work, such as data management software.
It's also interesting to work on the data entry from the Region's juvenile arthritis camps to see how families are impacted and the range of ages of children diagnosed with arthritis.
Also, doing this work is a good way to keep the older mind agile and learning new things.
Was there ever another Arthritis Foundation volunteer that impacted your life?
The fortitude of some of the volunteers is incredible. There are many volunteers that are severely impacted by arthritis and still so committed. People don't let their disabilities hinder their volunteerism. There are those people who say "I can't do that" and those that have the "can do" attitude. Arthritis Foundation volunteers are the "can do" type.
For those readers out there who may have hesitations about volunteering for the first time, what would you say to encourage them?
You don't know what you're missing. There is joy in giving of yourself.

You can find Jane volunteering at the Arthritis Foundation, Great West Region's Denver office on Mondays from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m..

Improving Juvenile Arthritis Diagnosis and Treatment with Ultrasound
Ultrasound is transforming the way juvenile arthritis is diagnosed and treated, making evaluation and therapy faster and more accurate.
Understanding the current state of a patient's joints affected by arthritis has always been a vital need for physicians in order to treat arthritis. The use of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool is proving to be a fast, easy, cost-effective way to better evaluate and treat joints affected by arthritis.
Conventionally, doctors evaluate arthritis joint inflammation manually by using their fingers or with a needle to take a sample of joint fluid. With an ultrasound machine, they instantly have a clear picture of the affected joints and tendons while they are in motion. This leads to less need for X-rays, MRIs and other testing.
Ultrasound has been used by physicians as a diagnostic tool for many other medical conditions for decades. The use of the technology on patients with arthritis is more recent, steadily gaining utilization by rheumatologists in the past decade and by pediatric rheumatologists in more recent years.
Nanci Rascoff, MD, MPH is a Pediatric Rheumatology Fellow at the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Rascoff was funded as a clinical fellow by the Arthritis Foundation in 2011. As part of her work, Dr. Rascoff is examining the benefits of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for juvenile arthritis. AFeatures sat down with Dr. Rascoff to find out more about her work.
Ultrasound's Use for Juvenile Arthritis
"Currently, in addition to the clinical history and exam, MRI is sometimes used for diagnostic purposes," Dr. Rascoff states. "Ultrasound is emerging as an equally beneficial tool – with some key advantages. It is painless, and does not require sedation. It is done in real-time, and does not require scheduling. Ultrasound is a low cost, and reproducible tool. And patients love it! Bringing ultrasound into our clinic has been exciting for patients and families, and the opportunity for teaching in the clinic using ultrasound is tremendous."
What Ultrasound can Determine that Other Tests Cannot
Dr. Rascoff continues, "Evidence suggests that ultrasound can detect clinically undetectable synovitis. In other words, ultrasound may help find active arthritis that could be missed by physical exam alone. While sometimes it may be easy to tell if a knee is swollen, warm, and doesn't move well – things are not always so clear. That's where ultrasound can help. It can serve as the rheumatologist's 'extra stethoscope' – a tool to help us identify what may really be going on underneath the surface. Ultrasound doesn't stop there though – in addition to joints, it can help us look at tendons, and studies suggest it can help identify erosions of the bone seven times earlier than X-rays can."
Ultrasound's Use in the Ongoing Care of Patients with Juvenile Arthritis
We feel that ultrasound over time will become an invaluable part of ongoing care for our patients," Dr. Rascoff states. "While many children are able to achieve remission of disease, unfortunately, at least 50% are unable to successfully continue off medications for more than two years without a flare, and they remain on multiple combinations of medications for many years. Crucial to improving effective treatment and disease outcomes in children with JIA is the ability to determine which patients have smoldering disease undetected by usual clinical exam and require continuing/more treatment; and conversely, which patients can safely discontinue medications without impending flare of disease. Our current research investigates the value of ultrasound, and asks whether it might help us understand a little more about how and when flares of arthritis occur."
The Benefits of Utilizing Ultrasound for Joint Injection Procedures
Dr. Rascoff says, "Ultrasound is increasingly being used in this setting, as evidence suggests that the customary "blind" approach to joint injections is inadequate. Ultrasound allows for direct visualization of the joint space, and delivery of intraarticular steroid within that space. That certainty of treatment delivery exactly where it is needed will lead directly to improved outcomes for our patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Moreover, we are learning that secondary outcomes, such as procedure-related pain from injections, may also be minimized with the use of ultrasound."
Ongoing Research
Dr. Rascoff's work will continue through the Seattle Children's Research Institute Center for Clinical and Translational Research and the researchers in the Division of Rheumatology, led by Dr. Carol Wallace. It is their goal to develop collaborations to identify potential markers within patients' blood stream of disease activity and remission. Dr. Rascoff feels that ultrasound is an ideal research tool to expand these and other juvenile arthritis investigations.

You can find out more about juvenile arthritis and standard diagnostic tests on the Arthritis Foundation's juvenile arthritis resource page.

Local Researcher Receives Distinguished Nationwide Honor
The Arthritis Foundation bestowed one of its highest nationwide honors to Seattle based researcher, Anne Stevens, MD, PhD during its national meeting on December 7 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Dr. Anne Stevens is the recipient of the Clifford M. Clarke Science Award. This award was established in honor of Mr. Clarke to recognize his dedication and long-standing commitment to research during his tenure as President of the Arthritis Foundation.

Oxfordshire fox hunters convicted in court
2:03pm Monday 17th December 2012 in News By Mark Taylor, Reporter. Please call me on (01865) 425411
Members of Prime Minister David Cameron's local hunt have today been convicted of illegal fox hunting.
The Heythrop Hunt, based in Chipping Norton, along with members Julian Barnfield and Richard Sumner, admitted four charges of illegally hunting foxes with dogs.
This is the first case where a hunt has faced corporate charges and is also the first taken by the RSPCA involving the prosecution of a hunt itself.
Footage of a bloodied fox carcass sandwiched in a hound's jaws shown to District Judge at Oxford Magistrates' Court earlier today.
Retired huntsman Barnfield, 49 of Worcester Road, Chipping Norton, retired huntmaster Sumner, 68 of Penhill Farm, Salperton, and The Heythrop Hunt Limited are due to be sentenced this afternoon.

Armed thief steals Christmas decorations (From Echo)

Armed thief steals Christmas decorations
5:00pm Thursday 20th December 2012 in Local News
AN ARMED thief stole a wreath from the front door of a Leigh home....and returned minutes later to break in.
The crook was caught on CCTV as he cut down the home-made Christmas decoration using a knife.
He then left the house in Woodside and jumped into a white van with his pal, only to return and stick his arm through the letterbox.
The home-owner, who would not be named, said: "They got disturbed by my wife, although she wasn't aware that she disturbed them.
"If she had been there about five seconds later he would have been in the hallway of our house, and he had a knife.
"Can you imagine having to think about that? I'm a little bit rattled about it."
The family noticed the wreath was missing on Sunday morning [16th] and looked back through the footage.
They had installed the cameras because of a series of crimes in their street - which suffered 15 burglaries last year.
After seeing the crooks in action they realised what a close call they'd had.
They later found out a neighbour had their wreath stolen the same night. They found the ordeal particularly upsetting as they had made the wreath out of ornaments they had bought on various holidays. It was particularly distiinctive as it includes several ceramic red and white toadstools.
The victim said: "It's supposed to be a time for trust and goodwill, so what is this all about? You do end up lacking in faith in human nature."
The Echo has reported on a series of thefts of Christmas decorations over the last fortnight.
The victim added: "Both the wreaths they've stolen are home-made, so I think the person who took them specifically for a boot sale.
"They are not a £10 Tesco green one with a red bow, I think they see it as easy pickings. People will pay big money for Christmas stuff."
The crooks were driving a white Mercedes Vito Van and struck at a few minutes after midnight on December 16.
Anyone with information should call Southend police on 101.

Price Paid: $225
Have been kayaking with it for three years and would not paddle without it. When I upgraded to 17' sea kayak the Camano was more impressive than the new boat!
I paddle with other hardcore kayakers and this model is the paddle of choice. Light weight, durable, with full adjustments it is a great paddle.
Despite its stated purpose as a low angle paddle, most of us are high angle folks and still think it's great. You won't regret choosing this paddle.

|Free-throw line propels Lady Jays past Bearcats
|Friday, December 28, 2012 2:02 PM
That is until the second half when the Lady Blue Jays took advantage of deep foul trouble by Spencerville and used the free-throw line to emerge with a 50-26 non-league hardwood victory at Spencerville.
The Jays (5-3) canned 21-of-33 free throws (63.6%) versus 10-of-16 by the Lady Bearcats (62.5%).
The Lady Bearcats (1-8) took advantage of a cold-shooting Jays' squad (6-of-20 in the first half and seven turnovers; 14-of-36 for the game — 1-of-7 from deep — for 38.9% and 16 errors overall) to lead 18-17 at the end of a half.
However, the hosts struggled with fouls in the third period, getting whistled for 10 in the stanza alone (26 for the game versus 13 for the visitors) — three of them illegal screens — and putting the Jays in the double-bonus before the horn blew. Three Bearcats, including senior Abby Freewalt (4 points, 3 boards), sophomore Katie Merriman (4 caroms) and freshman Caitlyn Probst (5 boards), were called for their fourth fouls in the stanza. The Jays took the lead for good on two tosses by senior Katie Vorst (17 markers, 9 boards, 3 steals) at 7:25 and they canned 11-of-13 singles in the stanza, including two by junior Emilie Fischbach with no time left on the clock, to finish off a 21-4 third period and grab a 38-22 bulge.
"We started to get better ball pressure defensively. They were hurting us some with penetration in the first half and I felt we took that away a lot better the second," Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse said. "Our guards also got more comfortable dealing with their defense and started to get the ball where it needed to go — inside. Katie and (freshman) Sydney (Fischbach) got more active inside as well."
"Sometimes, it's the first half that we struggle or even a quarter. We haven't put together 32 minutes of consistent basketball yet," he explained. "We got a lot of fouls called on us and when you are as young and inexperienced as we are, when a senior like Abby gets in foul trouble, it affects us in a lot of ways. Those are things you have to work through and grow through."
The Jays' lead bounced between a high of 24 — the final margin — and 18 as the fourth period finished off the contest.
St. John's shot 2-of-8 in the first period and turned it over five times. On the other end, thanks to their trademark man-to-man scheme, the hosts couldn't take full advantage. Sophomore Schylar Miller (team-high 15 points) got off to a hot start, scoring five of the team's nine points. As well, Freewalt scored all four of her markers. When Miller drove to the basket with 16 ticks on the clock, Spencerville held a 9-4 edge.
Spencerville's man-to-man defense continued to cause problems for the Jays in period two, helping them build their largest lead of the game at 16-8 on two singles by Miller at the 4:12 mark. However, the Jays began their rally in earnest on a layin by Vorst at 3:50. The Jays finished the quarter with a 9-2 spurt to get within 18-17 on two singles by junior Brooke Zuber (6 points, 4 caroms) with :00.8 on the clock.
In sum, St. John's added 32 rebounds (13 offensive) as sophomore Tara Vorst added seven. They host Coldwater 6 p.m. (junior varsity) Thursday.
"We started off very sluggish — both teams did — and we picked it up better as the game wore on," Grothouse added. "Again, we just had to figure out where we needed to be, especially at our guards. We started to get more aggressive as the game wore on and we fought through screens better as the game wore on."
In toto, Spencerville ended up 8-of-33 shooting (0-of-5 treys) for 24.2 percent; with 25 rebounds (8 offensive) as freshman Jacey Grigsby added five; and 23 miscues. They host Botkins that same night.
"We handled the ball well for the first half but not the second," Pughsley noted. "Also, we need to better understand the length of our opponents. We drove but we went too deep and now you're going up against 5-10, 5-11 instead of 5-6. That bothered us."
In JV action, St. John's improved to 4-4 with a 20-12 victory.
Sophomore Samantha Wehri led the Jays with six, while junior Patricia Riley and sophomore Megan Miller had three each for the Lady Bearcats (2-6).

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
The recent security breach on kernel.org is still being dealt with. The kernel.org servers themselves are back up and offering some of the old services in new, more secure forms. One such service is Git repository hosting, and we're starting to see a lot of folks bring their Git repositories back to kernel.org. Nicholas A. Bellinger recently announced that the lio-core Git tree has returned to kernel.org. Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk made a similar announcement about the Xen Two tree, as did Takashi Iwai about the sound Git tree, Chris Ball regarding the MMC tree, Theodore Y. Ts'o about the ext4 tree, and Roland Dreier about the InfiniBand tree.
One by one the disruptions caused by the attack are fading, but the protocols and procedures regarding secure kernel code submission and distribution have only begun to form and will undoubtedly continue to develop over the coming years. With his Linux 3.1 announcement, Linus Torvalds remarked, "I really want the pull request to be validated some way. With the small changes late in the ‑rc series, I could afford to spend the time to look at commits and try to verify them, but with the merge window (and the 11k commits or so that I saw pending in the last linux-next tree), that just isn't reasonable. So, use git.kernel.org or some other host that I can trust is really you."

Tom McIntyre is on something of a mission this week on "You Gotta Eat".
He went to OSF St. Francis Medical center, where there are all kinds of medical specialties....but his visit to the hospital today is because there's a cafeteria here....
Mac says "That's because I've been diagnosed with GERD, which sounds worse than it is, Gastro-Esophegial Reflux Disease. Acid reflux has damaged my throat and stomach, so the doctor has prescribed a limited diet and to lose weight, and that's why I'm at the OSF St. Francis medical Center cafeteria."
My guide is Dietitian Golda Ewalt. She knows fatty and fried foods, chocolate, caffeine and a lot of things that made the majority of my diet are now off my menu,
She's confident she's got something that's low-cal, tastes good and is good for me.
" What I want you to try is a veggie-burger with a orange ginger dressing which comes on a thin wheat bread. It's low in calories and good for you."
And for those who want to eat low-cal and in a hurry, the cafeteria has a daily special of 500 calories or less.
So, I went for the veggie-burger. And blueberry yogurt, a banana and water.
Golda had a turkey and cheese sandwich and a smoothie, and a diet cola, because she can.
OK, the orange ginger sauce makes the burger and Golda says it could add flavor to a lot of other things, fish and chicken for example. I'm going to try it. Because losing weight is one way of treating this disease.
Besides, I found this photo of me 20 years and 30 pounds ago. I could look like that again....minus the big glasses.
Oh, our meal cost $14.26 for both of us. Pretty cheap for a healthy meal.

Police are appealing to drivers to take extra care looking for motorcyclists when pulling out of junctions
Updated 8:43am Thursday 8th May 2014 in News By Chris Plant, Reporter
POLICE are appealing to motorists to take extra time to check whether roads are clear before pulling out of junctions, following the death of a Droitwich motorcyclist last year.
Motorcyclists account for around a fifth of all road death victims each year, despite accounting for only one per cent of traffic.
In 2012, 328 motorcyclists died and 5,000 were seriously injured in road collisions across Great Britain.
Due to safety campaigns, numbers have fallen since 2008 when 493 motorcyclists were killed and 5,556 were seriously injured on Britain's roads.
Last year , Nigel Tillett died after a Jaguar driver turned across his path from a filter lane on the A38 Worcester Road in October.
John Churchill, 69, of Crown Lane, Wychbold, admitted causing death by careless driving and was given an 18-month driving ban, 12 month community order and 200 hours of unpaid work by Worcester magistrates on Friday, April 25.
PC Dave Ashley of West Mercia Police said: "We would like to take this opportunity to reinforce the message about taking that extra millisecond of time to observe the road before making a turn across any type of carriageway.
"Mr Tillett's death happened as a result of a mistake by Mr Churchill.
"Both families will have to live with the tragic consequences for the rest of their lives, but we hope this case will make other drivers remember to pause and take a good look around for motorcyclists before pulling out from junctions or turning across oncoming traffic from filter lanes."
Mental health support worker Mr Tillett, aged 46, of Burrish Street, Droitwich, was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham with multiple injuries where he died that evening.
He left a wife and one-year-old son.

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) -- The police chief of a southeast Ohio town has been charged with felony permitting drug abuse.
Buchtel Chief Kelsie Lanning is free on $50,000 bond awaiting a Friday municipal court hearing in Athens County. A prosecutor tells The Athens Messenger (http://bit.ly/zGnksU) Lanning is accused of giving his girlfriend money he knew was being used to illegally buy prescription medication.

The 33-year-old Lanning is suspended without pay as police chief in Buchtel and also from a part time position with the New Straitsville police.

Dave Zabriskie had a dream, and that was to provide equality and freedom. Frustrated and suffering in silence from a weak taint, DZ began a quest to improve his situation, and that of his fellow man. Fate intervened when DZ meet up with a pharmaceutical scientist who was a mediocre bike racer with the same weakness of taint. The two set out to change the world, Dave had a dream.
The mission statement of DZ Laboratories, LLC is "Maintaintenance." The term coined by DZ encompasses what has been missing from chamois creams since the beginning, maintaining the taint and not just lubrication. Treating and preventing saddle sores is accomplished by a four point strategy.
1. Eliminate chaffing, the precursor of saddle sores.
2. Anti-inflammatory action soothes irritated skin.
3. Wound healing actives heal existing saddle sores.
4. Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial reduces chance of infection.
This is MAINTAINTANANCE. It is not just an innovation but a revolution. This is the dznuts difference.

I really like this JP album. I personally don't care if a band uses keyboards or synthesizers, just as long as they make an album with quality songwriting. Turbo has that quality. I still have a cassette, although I discovered them later on, and I've been jamming on it. Locked in, Parental Guidance, Rock you all around the world, and Wild nights are my favorite songs on this album, but I jam on all of them. Don't get scared off from this album just because some people say this album has too many keyboards or sounds cheesy or whatever. It's not cheesy. It really jams. The riffs are an adrenaline rush. The solos are lightning hot. Halford gets it done on vocals, as usual. Actually I was glad to hear a band get out of the pointless blackness of some of the 70s metal and put themselves inside a framework, such as Turbo, where all their energy is less redundant and more channeled. The songwriting, not to repeat myself, is outstanding, and very well planned out. Most of the songs on this album are very singable and rebellious. Just the thing after a typical boring day at the office or elsewhere. This album will set you free.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
"Turbo" sonicially is an awesome album. I thought this album is good. Priest went in totally different areas they never did before. Yes, alot of people hated this when it came out,some still do. now it's remastered. and that's pretty much what will sell this. the bonus tracks (as does all priest re-issues) are not good, except one or two. This is an essential album in the catalog of Priest
I recently pulled this record off the shelf and gave it another listen after owning it for many years. It surprised me how well a lot of it stands up once you look past the obvious exploration of the 80s synth sound.Half of the songs on this album would be eminently listenable if they weren't burdened with the ignominy of being found on the Turbo album. The title song is a track that captures the essence of Judas Priest's music: a memorable vocal delivery, sexual innuendo, and a dark vibe that belies the playful title. Other tracks include the power ballad "Out in the Cold", which is vintage Priest once the overlong synth intro is out of the way. The two tracks "Reckless" and "Locked In" would have been right at home on another Priest album such as Defenders. The rest of Turbo is a mixed bag of 80s fluff metal that meets with some middling success. I never bought into the guys in Priest being the flag-bearers of teenage rebellion, and obviously not many other people do either. Still, the moments on Turbo where Priest is not trying to identify themselves with the youth movement are enjoyable, and it's a shame that an album with 4-5 good songs gets dismissed in an era where modern bands put out 1-2 hit song albums padded by 8-9 filler tracks.
This was my fifth official Priest album. I got hooked on them with "Defenders", had to run out and get "Screaming" immediately after that, dubbed a friend's copies of "British Steel" and "Hell Bent" (keep your shorts on Sony, I have since purchased the CD's…twice) and then waited two years with baited breath to get my hands on this classic. Like many, I was initially revolted by what was coming through my speakers. Priest singing songs about love and partying, with glossy synth-heavy production and electronic drum sounds? Even the token teen rebellion song ("Parental Guidance") is kind of lighthearted and not really an "angry" song at all. It was a little hard to take at first. But it soon came to be my third favorite Priest album, right behind the 1-2 punch of "Screaming" and "Defenders". Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this album came out right when I was graduating from high school and it served as a really kickin' soundtrack for my final summer before college (it IS a great driving record, make no mistake). The first four songs on this album are total classics in my mind. "Turbo Lover" remains one the best songs they've ever done, I don't care what anyone says. I put it on one of my jogging tapes several years ago, right at the point where I normally start to lose steam, and let me tell you, that song really kicks in the adrenaline for me. "Locked In" is also a great song, I love those electronically altered wails on the guitar in the beginning. "Private Property" has a cool bubbling synth in the beginning that transitions into a mid-tempo brooding rocker. "Parental Guidance", despite my earlier comments, is a fun singalong song mocking parents and the PMRC for being so [bad] about rock n' roll and its supposed influence on kids. "Rock You All Around The World" is my lease favorite song on the album, and "Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days" and "Hot For Love" don't do much for me either. But "Out In The Cold" is easily the best ballad Priest has ever done, totally blows away "Before The Dawn", "Night Comes Down", or "A Touch of Evil". It was also a great choice for opening number on the "Fuel For Life" tour. If you can get the VHS version of "priest…live!", check out how well this song works as the opening number. Doesn't seem like it would since it's a ballad (although Priest ballads are typically pretty darn heavy), but you'll see what I mean. The closing track, "Reckless", is also a great tune, Halford's voice is great as always and he really know how to emote the lyrics. I don't care what the naysayers say, this is an essential chapter in the Priest story. If your musical tastes are so stringent that you can't sit through this one, then don't bother with Priest at all, go listen to your collection of death metal albums and leave the rest of us alone!
Turbo was the album that caused a lot of long-time Judas Priest fans to scream for vengeance (or, at least, to not buy the album). With all the hair taking over the moneymaking side of metal in the mid-1980s, Priest decided to try to cash in with a more commercial and synthesizer-driven sound. Turbo does not sound like Poison, but it is more radio friendly than the often harsh and brutal Defenders of the Faith. Most fans did not like Turbo because it did not sound enough like Judas Priest. I remember reading a letter in a rock magazine where a fan admitted to crying when he first heard the album. Well, it's not that bad. In fact, some of the tracks here are pretty good and one is incredible.
"Turbo Lover" is a very cool track. The synthesizers make it sound like a futuristic motorcycle cruising down the highway and the guitar solo is awesome. "Locked In" is very commercial but darn catchy which was accompanied by Priest's most creative music video. "Reckless" is another catchy track that does not become a syrupy commercial song like some of the tracks here. "Hot For Love" is also pretty good but the chorus seems disjointed. The guitar break demonstrates how bands like Iron Maiden were influenced by these metal statesmen. The best track, by far, though, is "Out in the Cold." It is an amazing, powerful ballad and one of my all-time favorite Priest songs. It is worth the price of the album alone!
In my opinion, Turbo's main flaw is that it didn't go further in its experimentation. It becomes very commercial with tracks like "Parental Guidance" (an obvious knock on the PMRC who criticized the track "Eat Me Alive" off their previous album), "Private Property," and "Wild Nights, Hot Crazy Days." "Parental Guidance" sounds like a song written by a bunch of teenagers, not by metal veterans well into their 30s and maybe even pushing 40. "Rock You All Around the World" is one of those "all hail us" songs that I do not care for. Despite these tracks, Turbo is not the complete bust a lot of fans claim it to be. Turbo was actually planned to be a double album called "Twin Turbos." When that plan was scrapped, many tracks were left off. Some found there way on Ram it Down like the title track, "Hard as Iron," "Monsters of Rock," and "Love You to Death." The first two were virtually complete at the time of Turbo. It is difficult to imagine what a double Twin Turbos album would be like as Ram it Down is so much different than Turbo. It may have helped fans accept the synthesizers if half the album gave them the more typical Priest sound. It probably should not be the first Judas Priest album you buy, but it is not a complete bust. "All Fired Up" is a good extra track and the brilliant "Out in the Cold" is worth two stars alone!

Late night joke writers are up in arms about ex-porn star, Stormy Daniels, declaring that she will not run for the US Senate after all. Apparently her chest was no match for incumbent David Vitter's war chest, who, despite being linked to a Washington DC prostituion ring, still has $5 million in the bank. Says Daniels, "We will keep fighting so that one day the voices of the dishwashers, cashiers, bus drivers and porn stars will be heard just as loudly as those of the lawyer, the banker and the insurance company executive."

The 2014 class of the Raleigh Hall of Fame includes a strong collection of the city's recent leaders as well as one of the most controversial politicians in the city's history.
Joining the class as the Centennial Nominee was William Woods Holden, who published the powerful North Carolina Standard newspaper in Raleigh during the Civil War era.
He opposed secession and, after the Civil War started, believed the South should sue for peace rather than be forced into unconditional surrender. An opponent of the South's traditional hierarchy, his positions often annoyed many readers, and Georgia troops even sacked his newspaper office in September 1863.
After the war, he sought to restore the Union and worked with federal officials in the Reconstruction era. He ran for governor as a Republican after the war ended, in 1868, and faced enormous challenges as North Carolina suffered from four years of war. He also faced significant enemies in the state legislature and was impeached in 1871 – the only North Carolina governor ever impeached.
He suffered a stroke in 1889, died in 1892 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh.
The Raleigh Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. at the Raleigh Convention Center. For more information, including reserving seats, visit www.raleighhalloffame or call (919) 909-2753.
Also named to the Raleigh Hall of Fame on Tuesday where:
Through his leadership at IBM, North Carolina State University and throughout the community, Dick Daugherty has positively impacted Raleigh for more than 40 years. Under his direction, the IBM campus in Research Triangle Park (RTP) grew to over 12,000 employees and he helped shape Research Triangle Park into the world-class business and research community it is today. In the 1990s, Mr. Daugherty helped form NCSU's Centennial Campus into a thriving research campus comprised of students, researchers and businesses. Many Raleigh residents are employed by IBM and other companies in RTP and on Centennial Campus because of his foresight. He has volunteered on many local boards and fundraising campaigns, providing invaluable leadership. Among the many local organizations he has served with include NCSU's Entrepreneurs Initiative, the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, Wake Education Partnership, the North Carolina Symphony, Rex Hospital and the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.
Dr. George C. Debnam has the distinction of being known as the "dean" of African- American physicians in Raleigh. After receiving encouragement from his professors at Shaw University, he decided to become a doctor. In the early 1960s, he founded Debnam Clinic, which is still in operation. By the time he retired after 50 years of practice, he had delivered over 10,000 babies. Dr. Debnam is not only a strong supporter of health care but higher education. He has worked to promote higher education, serving as a trustee at Shaw University since 1964. Dr. Debnam and his late wife, Marjorie, encouraged young African-American men to make good choices and to go to college.
A Raleigh native, L. Merritt Jones advanced the insurance industry and improved many Raleigh institutions. During his insurance career, he devoted countless hours to the industry outside of his 9-to-5 job. Jones taught insurance classes, served as president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Raleigh, and served as a member the Governor's Insurance Advisory Committee and the City of Raleigh Insurance Advisory Council. However, it is his involvement with many local organizations whether as a leader or working in the trenches that makes Mr. Jones an outstanding citizen. The Raleigh Little Theatre, Hospice of Wake County, the Lions Club, the Methodist Home for Children, the Community Music School and the Raleigh Hall of Fame are just some of the organizations Jones served.
Marjorie Menestres has served the Raleigh community for over 20y ears as executive director of SAFEchild, the first agency devoted to providing direct child abuse prevention services to area families. Under her leadership, SAFEchild's staff and 250-plus volunteers dedicate countless hours annually toward the prevention of child abuse. The organization provides parenting programs to 900 families and educates local first-graders about "Funny Tummy Feelings." SAFEchild's many accomplishments are directly attributed to Menestres' leadership and vision. Her fundraising skills and vision led to the center moving to its current location in 2002 debt free and the 2009 opening of the SAFEchild Advocacy Center. The center is the first in Raleigh to serve children who have been severely abused physically and/or sexually abused. Menestres has taken a one person agency and grown it into a fourteen member staff and has seen the center's operating budget grow to $1.2 million.
Referred to by many as "Raleigh's architect," Steven D. Schuster has spent three decades enriching Raleigh through architecture and design. He has been instrumental in Downtown Raleigh's revitalization through his personal efforts and his company, Clearscapes. His effort to spark revitalization began in the 1980s when he moved his home and company into a downtown industrial building. Mr. Schuster's many architectural contributions to Raleigh include the Marbles Kids Museum, Artspace, the North Regional Library, Glenwood South's Pine State Creamery and the Raleigh Convention Center. As a civic leader, he spearheaded the fundraising effort to build the new AIA N.C. Center for Architecture and Design in Raleigh's Blount Street Commons and held leadership positions in Capital Area Preservation and the Raleigh Historic Properties Commission. Mr. Schuster was recently appointment to the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Board of Advisors.
After deciding a teaching career was not the career she desired, Cornelia Norris McKimmon Trott went to night school to become a lawyer in the 1930s. In 1938, she passed the state bar examination and was one of only a handful of female lawyers in North Carolina. Ms. Trott became the first woman lawyer to work in the State Attorney General's Office. In 1948, she left the Attorney General's Office and became president of what would become Lawyers Title Insurance Company of North Carolina, Inc. In 1948, title insurance was in its infancy. By the time Trott retired in 1973, the company she helped run out of a Cameron Village office handled the majority of the title insurance business in the state and had expanded to Charlotte and Winston-Salem. In addition to being a role model in business, she was an active community member and avid sportswoman. One of the community roles Ms. Trott enjoyed most was providing legal counsel for the Junior League of Raleigh.
Many people know Thad Woodard, a Raleigh native, as the face of "Warmth for Wake." During Woodard's 36 years as president of the North Carolina Bankers Association, the association partnered with Wake County to provide heating assistance to those in need in Raleigh and Wake County. In addition, he created the association-sponsored Camp Challenge at Vade Mecum Springs for high-achieving middle school students who are high-risk. Many of the campers are from Raleigh. Outside of the bankers association, Mr. Woodard has served on the boards of the Boys and Girls Club of Wake County and Hospice of Wake County, and is credited with helping both organizations secure the fundraising needed to build their current facilities. Other causes he has lent his talents to over the years include the construction of the Falls of Neuse Dam and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Statue and Memorial Gardens and to the Raleigh Housing Authority, Clarence E. Lightner Youth Leadership Endowment, and Historic Oakwood Cemetery.
Meals on Wheels has provided warm meals to Raleigh's senior citizens for 40 years. In 1974, the community recognized the need to assist senior citizens to remain in their own homes. This was achieved by forming Meals on Wheels with the assistance of Hillyear Memorial Christian Church and many area faith organizations. In addition to fighting hunger, Meals on Wheels also reduces social isolation among the elderly by providing a daily check-in when the meals are delivered. On February 12, 1974, Meals on Wheels delivered nine meals on its first day of deliveries. By the end of this year, Meals on Wheels will have served 8 million meals in the Raleigh /Wake County area.
In 1964, the Raleigh Fine Arts Society (RFAS) began coordinating exhibits of local artists in the basement of an area library. From that point forward, the society has enriched the lives of Raleigh's citizens through art, music and the written word. In addition to the North Carolina Artists Exhibition, other programs originated by RFAS are the RFAS Literary Contest and the RFAS Choral Celebration. The literary contest is a short-story contest for Wake County high school students in grades 10-12. The Choral Celebration highlights over 1,200 students from area schools over two nights each spring. Most children attending school in Raleigh and Wake County have been touched by the RFAS, either through its sponsored programs or by the organization's volunteers at local museums.
Centennial Nominee:
William Woods Holden
Gov. William Woods Holden is credited with helping to unite North Carolina with the United States after the Civil War and attempting to promote equality for newly emancipated North Carolinians. This proved to be unpopular and would lead to him being the first governor in the country to be impeached, convicted and removed from office. Gov. Holden began his career as a printer and publisher in Orange County. He eventually moved to Raleigh where he continued printing and publishing. In 1846 he was elected to the North Carolina House of Commons as a Democrat. Initially he advocated for slavery expansion and Southern Rights but by the time the Civil War began, he supported Union views although he did vote to secede from the Union. After the war he was elected the state's first Republican governor. During his time as governor, he fought for the rights of all North Carolinians which included attempts to suppress the Ku Klux Klan. These attempts would lead to his impeachment, conviction and removal from office by a Democratic legislature. Gov. Holden is remembered as a publisher and politician who worked tirelessly to unite the people of North Carolina within its borders and with the nation.
The Raleigh Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. at the Raleigh Convention Center. For more information, including reserving seats, visit www.raleighhalloffame or contact Laura Isley or Fraley Marshall, event coordinators for Raleigh Hall of Fame 2014, at 919-909-2753.
