A good upholstery cleaner can remove the locations and stains that are dispersed all over your mattress.

- Analysis of Alma Mater Research (Prof. Kim Bruce '70, College Songs Committee Chair)
December 15, 2008
Last spring, I announced a temporary suspension of performances of the Alma Mater and the creation of a committee to explore issues surrounding this and other College songs. My reason was our community's concern over a rediscovered aspect of Pomona history—that our Alma Mater, Hail, Pomona, Hail, might have been written for a blackface minstrel show. The goal was to make this an educational opportunity for all members of the College family to benefit from research concerning the history and historical context of these songs and from discussions concerning our own relationship with unfortunate parts of our past.
Today, after receiving the College Songs Committee's final report and after much deliberation, including a full discussion with the Board of Trustees, I am writing to you with my decisions concerning the Alma Mater and Torchbearers.
First of all, I have decided to confirm Hail, Pomona, Hail as Pomona's Alma Mater and to end the suspension of performances at official College events such as Alumni Weekend. Given the divisive nature of the controversy over the song on our campus, however, it will not be included in the programs for Commencement or Convocation for the present. In doing this, I have chosen to replace a compromise put forward by the Committee with a compromise of my own. The Committee recommended that Hail, Pomona, Hail should no longer be our Alma Mater but should remain as a college song, to be sung only by our alumni. They also recommended that a new Alma Mater should be composed to take its place.
My decision to confirm the status of Hail, Pomona, Hail as our Alma Mater, rather than replacing it, is based upon a conviction that traditions—like people—should be judged on their merits, not on the basis of historical associations unconnected to their actual character. All are agreed that there is no harmful meaning in either the words or the music of Hail, Pomona, Hail. The question is whether the context of its possible first performance should be determinative.
Three things concern me here. First, there is the inconclusive nature of the evidence. While research conducted by two students and an alumna taught us much about the minstrel show that took place here in 1909–10, it also revealed that the evidence for a connection between that event and Hail, Pomona, Hail is contradictory and open to interpretation. Second, there is the troubling idea that all things associated with an imperfect past should be considered tainted even if there is nothing inherently objectionable about them. And finally, there is the false sense of closure provided by getting rid of something so that we no longer need to talk about the issue that it calls to mind. The Alma Mater still has things to teach us, and the people who cherish it should not be constrained in any way from honoring it.
That said, however, we must also be sensitive to the concerns of the diverse College community of which we are so proud. It is clear that many of our current students—including students of all races—would now find it uncomfortable to be asked to stand and sing the Alma Mater during Commencement or Convocation. Indeed, in solidarity over these concerns, the Associated Students of Pomona College voted this year to recommend that the Alma Mater be decertified. Commencement belongs to our seniors, who are celebrating the culmination of their college years, and Convocation is where we welcome a new class into our midst. In these special, student-focused settings, unity and a sense of mutual respect are paramount. For that reason, we will not sing the Alma Mater at these events for the present.
In the case of Torchbearers, the Committee was divided, but I am accepting the recommendation of a plurality of the Committee that the song should be sung by our choral groups only after a thoughtful revision of some of the words. This is appropriate because portions of the song make reference to Native American traditions in ways that are, at best, stereotypical and, at worst, offensive. It is worthy of note that these words have already been rewritten once, in 1930, so this is consistent with our past practice. I will consult with the Music faculty to explore how the rewriting may be done in a professional fashion.
Finally, I strongly support the final recommendation of the Committee that we should take steps to increase the understanding of College history throughout our community. The attention this process has received, both on campus and off, has already played a role in this regard. Discussions began last spring at Alumni Weekend. This was followed in the fall by a forum for students and another for faculty and staff. The community learned about our history in a number of ways, including a performance of The Dance, an informative and compelling presentation about minstrelsy, and summer research projects by two students, presented in a poster session and a website. An alumna followed up with additional research about the Alma Mater, and another conducted research concerning Torchbearers. All of these things have added to our understanding of the history surrounding these songs.
But understanding the origins and connections of our College songs is only the first step. Traditions are intended to connect us to our history, but unless we understand them in their full historical context, they are empty vessels. To build a deeper engagement with College history—including the ambiguous role race has played throughout that history—some steps can be taken relatively quickly: in the coming months, we will work to create a website concerning Pomona history, including such source materials as past issues of the Metate. Other important steps, such as developing a curated space to present historical materials on campus, will take somewhat longer to carry out. Ultimately, we need to introduce a position of Campus Archivist to help us to safeguard and learn about our past in ways that will inform our understanding of Pomona College and its traditions.
I am deeply grateful for the hard and thoughtful work of the faculty, students, staff, alumni and trustees who made up the College Songs Committee. I understand the challenges that they faced in dealing with issues on which there are such honest and forceful differences. Their full report is available here, through the links above and navigation at the left. I have benefited greatly from their analysis and counsel, and I believe the entire College has been well served by the public forums that they organized. I have also appreciated hearing from so many alumni and other members of the Pomona family with a range of views.
Through my years at Pomona, I have come to treasure our traditions as vital touchstones with the past. Singing the Alma Mater is always a moving experience for me—I love the profound sense of connection that it gives me with the generations who were here before me. However, in a changing world, the reality is that each generation decides which traditions to honor. One cannot impose a tradition, and efforts to do so generally fail. The future of our traditions will always remain in the hands of the people who will come after us, and that is as it should be.
I make these decisions with the support of the Board of Trustees and the full understanding that some members of our community will disagree. In the months ahead, I welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions that may result from the Committee's report or from my own decisions in these matters.

Bernadette Peters Will Debut Marc Shaiman-Scott Wittman Song on "Smash"
By Adam Hetrick
When two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters returns for the second season of "Smash," she will premiere a brand-new tune from the series' Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Shaiman confirmed to Playbill.com Oct. 22 that Peters will perform a new song of theirs in her upcoming guest appearance. It will have orchestrations by Tony Award winner Jonathan Tunick.
Shaiman and Wittman are the Tony-winning songwriters of Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can and the upcoming London musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in spring 2013. The songwriters pen original musical material for "Smash," which centers around the creation of the new Broadway musical Bombshell.
As previously reported, Peters will reprise her role as Broadway legend Leigh Conroy, the mother of "Smash" Broadway starlet Ivy Lynn. Peters performed the Gypsy stand-out "Everything's Coming Up Roses" in her debut episode, titled "The Workshop," last season.
Megan Hilty (Wicked, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) stars as Leigh's dysfunctional daughter, Ivy, a former chorus girl elevated to potential leading lady in a new Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe. Peters was last seen on Broadway in the Tony-nominated revival of Follies.
The second season of "Smash" will also feature "Hairspray" star Nikki Blonsky, Jesse L. Martin (Rent), Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, Tony Award nominees Jeremy Jordan and Sean Hayes, and Andy Mientus of Off-Broadway's Carrie.
For the series' second season, Josh Safran succeeds Theresa Rebeck (Seminar) as showrunner — the person in charge of all aspects of the story. Tony Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and Tony nominees Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are among the show's executive producers.
Before "Smash" returns to NBC, read Playbill.com's weekly recap of the series, The "Smash" Report, beginning with the show's Season One finale.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Start on the large ledge about 10 feet to the left of the Under the Milky Way arete. Climb up and right aiming for the first bolt. From here either climb straight up or head out to the right a bit and traverse back left using very small but positive crimps, aiming for a nice horizontal in the middle of the face. Continue to climb straight up to reach the last bolt using very positive holds, thin and technical but much easier than the previous terrain. Approaching the last bolt starts to get harder again. Very positive small holds, tricky footwork. After clipping the last bolt, the climb is not over, the holds are no longer positive and the shuts are very difficult to clip unless you climb all the way up to grab the ledge above them. If you clip the shuts with draws already hung, it is much easier and it eliminates a difficult move (possibly the crux).
Bolted line on clean white face just to the left of the Under the Milky Way arete.

By melding beauty and comfort, the Shield Back Arm Chair provides an elegant, yet inviting seating experience for your dining room décor. The back frames are decorated with a shell scroll and leaf carvings, which add a stylish touch and makes this piece the perfect addition to your furniture collection.
The Old World Shield Back Arm Chair by A.R.T. Furniture Inc is available in the Baltimore, Towson, Pasadena, Bel Air, Westminster, Catonsville, Maryland area from Gardiners Furniture.
The traditional design of Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. As Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture, a full complement of bases, cornices and pediments emerged, transforming cabinets, dressers and other case pieces into scaled-down architectural compositions. Cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers are complemented by fine herringbone inlay, with burnished edges and hand rubbed fronts giving a satiny glow to the rich pomegranate finish of Old World. Classic details of sculptural acanthus leaf carvings, a rhythmic lamb's tongue motif and baroque styled custom hardware add to the architectural splendor of this beautifully crafted collection.
The Old World collection is a great option if you are looking for Traditional furniture in the Baltimore, Towson, Pasadena, Bel Air, Westminster, Catonsville, Maryland area.

RALEIGH — Before making job offers, some employers scour social media sites such as Facebook to try to glean unfiltered information about prospective employees.
But this approach to screening applicants may actually eliminate good candidates, according to researchers at N.C. State University.
"Employers beware," said Will Stoughton, 29, a graduate student in the psychology department and an author on a study published this month.
According to the study, those pictures of alcohol and drugs that everyone warns against putting on Facebook don't necessarily reflect the poster's conscientiousness as a worker. Rather, the photos may indicate that the photo poster was more of an extrovert, an attribute that may be desirable to an employer.
"We looked at what does the Facebook behavior reflect as far as personality," Stoughton said.
Lori Foster Thompson, 41, professor of psychology at NCSU, says a lot of attention is focused on what job applicants are doing on Facebook, but there isn't much known about how employers are using that information.
One Facebook activity that could raise a red flag for employers is badmouthing. People who criticized superiors and peers on Facebook were low in agreeableness and conscientiousness, Stoughton said.
So Facebook profiles aren't useless, Thompson said: "We just don't know enough yet to use them in a valid way."
Local employers declined requests to speak about hiring practices, but a CareerBuilder.com survey from 2012 found that 37 percent of employers nationwide reported using social networking sites to research job candidates. Drinking or drug content and badmouthing observed on social media sites were among the leading examples cited for causing an employer not to hire someone.
In their study, the NCSU researchers first assessed the personality traits of college students applying for a temporary, paid position through an online application. A follow-up survey two weeks later was administered to collect data about the applicants' Facebook behavior. The researchers analyzed the data to find out which personality characteristics were related to specific social media activities.
More work remains
Both Stoughton and Thompson call themselves scientist-practitioners. They conduct research in the lab and apply their findings to real-world situations. Stoughton has been working with the Marines and the Army to help assess the skills of Special Forces' operators.
The research team hopes to use data to develop an effective approach for using social media in employee assessments.
But more work must be done.
The lab is busy looking at how applicants react to an employer looking them up on Facebook, something that can create a culture of mistrust between employer and applicant, Thompson said.
And Stoughton described another potential problem with Facebook use: guilt by association. Even the most careful Facebook user can be at risk of judgment when a friend posts a compromising photo.
However, these NCSU researchers have found a way to avoid these Facebook issues in their own lives. With his graduate school and military work, and his love of spending time outdoors, Stoughton says he is too busy to have his own Facebook account.
And Thompson is Facebook-free, too.

Oracle's Exadata X2 machines are now certified to run applications from rival SAP, following recent steps by SAP to move its customers off Oracle database platforms.
Exadata X2 is the second generation of Oracle's data-processing machines for both transactional and analytic workloads. The systems, which include specialized hardware and software and use Oracle's database, have been a major focus for the company in recent years.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
The SAP certification was valid as of Friday and applies to products that are based on NetWeaver 7.x and certified for Oracle database 11g Release 2, according to SAP's website.
SAP and Oracle first announced they were working together on Exadata certification in June 2010. That occurred shortly after SAP's launch of its HANA (High Performance Analytic Appliance) product, an in-memory computing platform that is being supported by a number of hardware vendors.
During its Sapphire conference in May, SAP officials discussed HANA's ability to support transaction processing as well as analytics, although it will be some time before it is ready to replace Oracle for running SAP applications like Business Suite.
In the nearer term, SAP has moved to certify the Sybase ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise) database for Business Suite, and plans to offer it as a migration option for the many SAP shops running Oracle now. SAP gained ASE through last year's acquisition of Sybase, which is now run as an independent subsidiary.
A FAQ document on Oracle's website paints Exadata as a must-have for the SAP installed base.
"Virtually, all relevant SAP customers run several Oracle databases with several SAP application solutions," it states. "All of these 'SAP databases' can be consolidated into an Oracle Exadata Database Machine that results in benefits and efficient operation."
Moreover, "it can be assumed that between 70 and 80 percent of all SAP customers also use Oracle database servers for non-SAP purposes," the document adds. "Exadata can be considered as a consolidation platform for any kind of Oracle database, regardless of the application."
Oracle has maintained that it is fairly pain-free for current database customers to move those workloads to Exadata. If so, that gives Oracle a potential advantage over SAP as far as Sybase ASE goes, since full-blown database migrations can be difficult, depending on how the original application was written.
Sybase is "very committed" to providing services for database migration projects, CEO John Chen said in an interview with IDG News Service last month. A number of large companies are already running pilot ASE migration projects, Chen added at the time.
It's not surprising that Oracle and SAP would cooperate on Exadata support despite their rivalries, according to analyst Curt Monash of Monash Research.

Similar plants?

Yes, similar plants.
They obviously snowboarded down the same mountain and must have hit similar plants, duh.

Yup, the similar plants are the ones that they put into the soft tacos and pass off as lettuce! They spray it with a weed killer first. Just in case...duh...

Judith Wilfekuhl photo request
Hi Marilyn,
I visited Spring Grove - Section A today. I was not able to find a marker to photograph for Judith. There is a VERY LARGE bush - labeled "Irish Yew" that basically covers spaces 425 thru 433. There is lots of ivy on the ground here. There may be a marker for Judith underneath here but it is not visible. I am not comfortable "excavating" this ground cover to find out. If this is a family member, you might want to tell the cemetery about this. This problem is VERY common at Spring Grove.

Years ago I worked for a telecom as an IT shift supervisor. We had IT staff physically on the headquarters' premises 24/7. We provided support to remote telecom sites during the day, and on the night shift we took care of the maintenance and support that was easier to do when nobody was working.
Eventually one routine daily task got added to our job description: We ran batch jobs for many different applications for the business from 4 p.m. until midnight, optimizing the time when the repair staffs at the various remote sites were off-duty.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Read memorable Off the Record stories from 2009 in "Tall tales of tech -- that happen to be true." | Send your IT Off the Record story to email@example.com -- if we publish it, we'll send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
One of these applications created work orders that resulted from customer calls to the service centers for phone repair, new installs, additional lines, configuration changes, and related work. These work orders would be compiled by the application jobs we ran and transmitted to printers at different sites throughout a five-state area late in the evening. They would then be printed out and ready when the repair staffs came to work in the morning, so they could sort through, make their assignments, and plan the day.
Since these printers were in offices that did not have any employees physically present while the print job ran, employees at the remote sites would make sure each day as they left to go home that the printers were turned on and had a good supply of paper forms. Surprisingly, we had very few problems, and it turned out to be an efficient system.
However, the occasional breakdown would occur. One site in particular became a thorn in our side for a few days.
We began getting complaints that service orders sent to the site's printer were not printing as scheduled. The orders wouldn't start printing until the staff arrived at work in the morning, and the repair staff were then having to wait until the printing was done. This was impacting their workday schedule, and if not remedied soon the telecom's bean counters would start asking serious questions about the site's productivity and bottom line.

Striker van Persie won the main honour last term, playing for Arsenal, and is bidding to become only the third man – after Thierry Henry in 2002/03 and 2003/04 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2006/07 and 2007/08 – to win the award in back-to-back seasons.
In 2012/13, the Dutchman's goals – 25 in all competitions – have fired United towards Barclays Premier League glory. He's featured in all 33 of the Reds' league games and only Liverpool's Luis Suarez (also nominated) has netted more times in the competition.
Michael Carrick's understated and unspectacular approach to the game usually doesn't earn him many Player of the Year nominations, but few will argue with his inlcusion this season. A constant in Sir Alex's midfield, Carrick anchors United superbly, offering protection in front of the back four and incisive passing in the opposition half.

Blackbirds end AuSable Valley's season in regional finals
GLOVERSVILLE — AuSable Valley is experiencing some déjà vu.
After winning a fourth straight Section VII Class C championship, the AuSable Valley volleyball team saw its season end at the hands of Voorheesville in the regional championship Saturday at Gloversville High School.
The Section II champion Blackbirds posted a 3-0 win over the Patriots by scores of 25-20, 25-16 and 25-8 in the state Class C regional finals at Gloversville High School.
"We respect Voorheesville. They're a good team and we've seen them the last four years," AuSable Valley coach Sandra Hoey said.
Each of those four matchups has ended with the Blackbirds posting a 3-0 sweep of the Patriots.
Voorheesville, which reached the state Class C championship match last season, came into the match minus one of its outside hitters, Nicole Brower.
"We had a huge loss this week when Nicole went down with appendicitis," Blackbirds coach Ashley Swint said. "We had a young team out there, but everybody really stepped it up."
Senior Caroline Bablin powered the Blackbirds' attack, finishing with 18 kills and 10 digs, while senior setter Libby Bjork posted 26 assists, nine digs and four aces.
"Libby and Caroline have played together for a long time," Hoey said. "They are a tough pairing."
Lauren Mackey added nine digs and four kills for Voorheesville, and Tori Hargrave finished with 17 digs and seven kills.
Noelle Miller paced AuSable Valley with nine kills, five digs, five service points and four aces, while Miranda Sheffer finished with seven points, three digs and two kills. Lindsay Brown posted five points, four digs, two aces and two kills for the Patriots, Alexandrea Lincolin had five digs, and Miranda O'Neill added nine assists, three digs and two kills.
Voorheesville won the Section II title last Saturday with a 3-1 win over Broadalbin-Perth on Nov. 1 at Stillwater High School by scores of 25-17, 25-12, 22-25 and 25-21. AuSable Valley won the Section VII title last Saturday with a 3-0 win over Plattsburgh by scores 25-11, 25-8 and 25-16 before posting a 3-0 win over Section X champion Potsdam on Wednesday in the regional semifinals by scores of 25-13, 25-19 and 25-14.
The Blackbirds got out of the gates quickly, opening up a 6-2 lead in the first game before the Patriots rallied to tie the match at 6-6.
Voorheesville used a four-point service run from Kimmy McQuade to gain some breathing room, eventally pushing the lead to 17-9 and forcing a timeout from Hoey.
AuSable Valley closed to within four points at 21-17 before the Blackbirds closed out the first set with a 25-20 win.
The Patriots surged to a 5-1 lead early in the second set on a kill, two service points and an ace by Brown.
Voorheesville answered with four straight service points from Eileen Thompson, a run punctuated with a thunderous kill from Bablin.
The Blackbirds steadily increased their lead, ending the set with a kill by Bablin to take a 2-0 lead after winning the set 25-16.
Voorheesville quickly put the final set out of reach, opening with a nine-point service run from Bjork, which gave the Blackbirds a 10-0 lead.
The Patriots got no closer than eight points the rest of the way, as Voorheesville cruised to a 25-8 win in the final set, which also included a six-point service run from Erin Gannon.
"Our younger players were out there surrounded by our senior leadership," Swint said. "It really helped that we had a mix of experienced and younger players."
That mix helped Voorheesville, which has won four straight section II titles, to another trip to the state semifinals.
"This is one more step toward our goal," Swint said. "Getting back to the state championship match has been our goal all season long. We knew that it was going to be difficult this season, but we've taken it day-by-day and game-by-game."
Voorheesville (20-0) will open pool play in the state semifinals at the Glens Falls Civic Center next Saturday at 8:30 am. against Millbrook.
AuSable Valley finished the season with an 18-2 overall record.
"The first time we played them four years ago, I think we finished with 19 points," Hoey said. "We're building our program up, but we still need more experience. Gradual steps are being built, but it's going to take some time."

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release July 24, 2009
U.S. Department of Education
Washington, D.C.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for the outstanding introduction from Matthew. And Matthew's teacher, you're doing obviously an outstanding job -- although I understand Matthew's mom is also a teacher who has also won awards for her outstanding work. So the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. We are very proud of him.
But let me be clear: Success should be judged by results, and data is a powerful tool to determine results. We can't ignore facts. We can't ignore data. That's why any state that makes it unlawful to link student progress to teacher evaluations will have to change its ways if it wants to compete for a grant. That's why the Race to the Top grants will go to states that use data effectively to reward effective teachers, to support teachers who are struggling, and when necessary, to replace teachers who aren't up to the job.

Big runs get the best of Bearcats
12/11/2013 (Updated 10:52:28 PM)VESTAL, N.Y. Blake Dietrick poured in a game-high 21 points, leading Princeton (5-4) to a 75-49 win over Binghamton (1-8) in a non-conference womens basketball game on Wednesday night at the Events Center. The shorthanded Bearcats, who only dressed nine players, have now lost five straight.
The Tigers came into the game averaging 75.9 points per contest and proceeded to nail 11 three-point field goals and dish out 23 assists. They shot 49 percent for the game (31-of-63) and turned the ball over just nine times.
Princeton is a good team, head coach Nicole Scholl said. They like to run the ball in transition and their big players get open. It was tough for us tonight missing some players but give (Princeton) credit for how they played.
The two teams traded leads for the opening 10 minutes but the Tigers went on a 20-5 run in a span of 6:12 to go up 35-19 with 4:33 left in the first half. Princeton made three of their three-point field goals during that stretch.
From there, the Tigers went up 42-27 at the break.
Binghamton stayed within 56-41 with 12:14 left in regulation. From there, however, Princeton outscored the Bearcats 19-8 the rest of the way. Dietrick had her final eight points during that stretch.
Senior guard Vaneeshia Paulk paced the Bearcats with a team-best 15 points for the second game in a row. Fellow senior guard Stephanie Jensen drained four three-point field goals to finish with 12 points.
The Bearcats were missing starting sophomore forward Morgan Murphy, who had the flu. Senior forward Julia Barac took her place and finished with a career-high nine points and nine rebounds.
Michelle Miller added 11 points for the Tigers.
Up next for Binghamton is a 1 p.m. game on Saturday at Rider.

Hotel Saranac closes as sale nears
SARANAC LAKE — With the sale of Hotel Saranac near closing, the owners have closed the guest-room doors.
Sewa Arora has owned the historic downtown hotel for some seven years and is selling it to Roedel Companies, a hotel investment and construction company based in Wilton, N.H.
He said Friday that they have formally closed the hotel and are no longer taking reservations.
"We decided a couple days back," the hotel owner said, relaying that the property's sale should be final in the next couple of weeks.
Arora is confident the new operators with Roedel are right for the hotel.
"The buyer is a professional operator. They have been in the business of constructing hotels and operating hotels for the last 50 years. They are very, very professional. They plan to spend a large sum of money, $10 million to $12 million, to renovate the place."
The interior room furnishings are not part of the sale, Arora said.
"We have 86 rooms with 120 beds and all furnishings: blankets, box spring mattresses, desks, chairs, 100 air conditioners, coffeemakers, hairdryers — everything in the hotel is ours. So we decided, instead of selling it, it would be a good gesture to donate all of the contents."
The bulk items in large amounts will go to a nonprofit in Albany.
"The Catholic Charity of the Diocese of Albany is willing and able to take a large amount of donations," Arora said.
But the hotel bedding will be used here by the Saranac Lake Ecumenical Council, which aims to establish a homeless shelter in Saranac Lake.
Made up of some 10 churches in the region, the council works to interconnect church support and outreach efforts.
Ecumenical Council President Rich Loeber said the donation is welcome and helpful.
"We're working to try to establish a homeless shelter in Saranac Lake. The nearest shelter is in Malone, and Essex County doesn't have one either.
"So, we're taking all of the sheets and blankets and bedcovers and pillowcases — all of that kind of stuff, which we would need anyway.
"I went and took a look the other day, and all of it seems to be in very good condition. We're going to remove it from the hotel, and the Young Life Camp on Upper Saranac Lake has volunteered their laundry facility.
"We're going to wash and fold everything, then we're going to place it in protective wrappings and store it in the Baldwin House at St. Luke's."
Loeber said Arora had reached out to one of the local ministers who sits on the Ecumenical Council Board.
"We are just very appreciative," Loeber said. "It came together within a few hours."
The homeless-shelter search process is underway, looking to buy a house for eight to 10 beds, Loeber said.
"It will open as soon as we can raise the funds for building acquisition. I would say we're at least a year away from opening operations."
The donation of bed linens will help save costs down the road.
For his part, Arora said he plans to stay in the Saranac Lake area after the Hotel Saranac is sold.
"Yes, I will be staying, though first I will be going to visit my home in Long Island. Then I will be buying a home here. I like the area very well. The fresh air, the mountains."
Planned redevelopment of the historic Hotel Saranac is before the Village Planning Board.
The redevelopment project was among 16 named as priorities by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, placing renovations in line for state-level funding.
Roedel Companies has applied for $5 million in public investment monies to bolster its projected $7.7 million in private capital.
According to the Economic Development Council's progress report, released earlier this month, the hotel project will renovate 75 guest rooms and the banquet and meeting rooms and add a 250-car parking structure. The renovation will create 65 construction jobs and 45 new full-time jobs, it says.
Roedel partner and ROK Builders President Fred B. Roedel III was not available Friday for comment on the pending sale and ongoing project review process.
But Arora expressed confidence in what's ahead for the Hotel Saranac.
"This hotel has a great future. We ran it for seven years. And the new owners are the professionals. They'll do a good job."

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward has struggled with injuries in recent weeks and suffered yet another on Sunday. The Steelers receiver suffered concussion-like symptoms in the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens after taking a big hit from linebacker Ray Lewis.
Ward has been dealing with ankle issues in recent weeks and missed last week's contest against the New England Patriots. The injuries have accelerated the process in which Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders have both started to move past Ward on the depth chart. Brown has made a firm move past him, with Emmanuel Sanders just about there as well.
The Steelers travel to face their co-AFC North leaders the Cincinnati Bengals in an unexpected battle for divisional supremacy. Given Ward's injuries he will likely be sidelined, although it is possible he could make a quick recovery. We'll keep an eye on him in the upcoming practice participation reports.

Updated 8:27 p.m. ET
A day after it was reported the Bears were actively looking to trade TE Greg Olsen, a report states that the team traded the former first-round pick to the Panthers in exchange for a 2012 third-round draft choice. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune first reported the deal on Thursday afternoon.
Olsen was a productive player for the Bears, but seemed out of place last season in coordinator Mike Martz's offense. He recorded just 41 catches — his lowest total since his rookie year — and gained a career-low 9.9 yards per reception.
Earlier Thursday, the Bears signed TE Matt Spaeth and released TE Brandon Manumaleuna. In addition to their reported trade for Olsen, the Panthers have added TE Jeremy Shockey and Ben Hartsock since the end of last season.

Remember little Ralphie and his Christmastime BB gun obsession?
If you've seen the timeless film, "A Christmas Story," you'll never forget the spectacled lead character — or the rest of his quirky family.
The 1983 movie is set in a Hammond, Ind., winter and follows the misadventures of the Parker family as Christmas approaches.
My favorite story line in the movie is the profane Mr. Parker's fixation on the lamp he receives through mail delivery. The base of the lamp is in the likeness of a woman's shapely leg, replete with high-heeled shoe and fish-net hose. And Mrs. Parker is not amused.
If you love "A Christmas Story" as much as I do, you won't want to miss the special showing of the film set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, in the Paramount Theatre in downtown Anderson.
Admission, just $2 at the door, will go to The Herald Bulletin's Empty Stocking Fund to help the Salvation Army meet the needs of local families year round.
Editor Scott Underwood's column appears Mondays. Like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter @THBeditor. Contact him at email@example.com or 640-4845.

Barclays teams up with Princess Alice Hospice for fundraising challenge in Kingston
3:00am Sunday 2nd February 2014 in News By Laura Proto, Chief Reporter
Barclays bank staff will take over Princess Alice Hospice shops for a donation challenge.
Four of the Esher hospice's shops will be taken over for one day, with staff selling items they have donated in the previous weeks.
Money made during the challenge, up to the value of £3,000, will also be matched by the bank, meaning cash spent by customers will be worth double to the hospice.
Phil Seal, retail director at Princess Alice Hospice, said: "We feel this is a fantastic opportunity and are very hopeful that the day will help to raise crucial funds for the hospice.
"We are delighted that Barclays is taking part and hope that this will encourage other companies to work with us on similar fundraising events in the future."
The Barclays Donation Challenge takes place at the Clarence Street, Kingston, Fife Road, Kingston, Kingston furniture shop in Old London Road and Staines stores on Wednesday, February 5.

@FGCU_MGolf Concludes Busy March Schedule At FAU's Slomin Autism Invite
LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Coming off a strong finish by placing second at the FAU Spring Break Championship last year, the FGCU men's golf team will return to action Friday-Sunday, Mar. 28-30, as part of the newly-named FAU Slomin Autism Invite at The Fountains Country Club.
The 54-hole event on the North Course – the longest of the three Fountains CC courses at 6,876 yards – gets underway Friday morning and will include 18 holes each of the three days. The North Course plays to a par-71 and is notable for abundant water features and large greens.
Live scoring will be posted on Golfstat.com or by following the link at the top of this release, and updates will be available on Twitter @FGCU_MGolf throughout the tournament.
In addition to host FAU and FGCU, 12 other teams will be competing this weekend: UCF, Georgia Southern, Middle Tennessee State, Jacksonville State, Bethune-Cookman, Hartford, DePaul, Connecticut, Stetson, Murray State, Morehead State and Lafayette.
Four of the 14 teams are ranked inside the top-100 in the nation by Golfweek, led by No. 9 UCF and capped by No. 99 FGCU (complete rankings below).
Head coach Brent Jensen will send out the following lineup as FGCU looks for another top finish at the tournament on the East Coast of the Sunshine State:
1) Jake Sherwin (Fort Myers, Fla./Evangelical Christian HS)
2) Jack Hernandez (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot HS)
3) Blake Biggs (Peoria, Ill./Eastern Florida State College/Peoria Notre Dame HS)
4) Mike Andre (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS)
5) Matt Cote (Palm Harbor, Fla./Palm Harbor University HS)
Last year FGCU tied Hartford for second place out of 18 teams at the same event for a three-day total of 873. The Eagles made up seven strokes on then-No. 39 UCF in the final round, but finished seven strokes back of the Knights. Sherwin, then a freshman, led FGCU by finishing in third place with two rounds of 71 and a 69.
Third place was exactly where Sherwin ended up two weeks ago as he led the Eagles to a fourth-place finish at the Talis Park Collegiate Challenge, overcoming windy conditions throughout the three rounds. Sherwin finished with a total score of 217 in the field of more than 75 golfers as FGCU finished ahead of No. 78 Indiana, No. 90 Notre Dame and No. 95 Cincinnati.
The Slomin Autism Invite will conclude a busy March for the FGCU as the Eagles will be competing in their third tournament of the month. The Green and Blue opened the month with a tournament victory at the Harmony Preserve Intercollegiate Mar. 3-4 in Harmony, Fla., before the Talis Park Collegiate Challenge Mar. 16-17.
The event will serve as the second-to-last test for FGCU before the Atlantic Sun Championships Apr. 20-22. Next up the Eagles will head to Texas for the Jim West Intercollegiate in Dallas Apr. 7-8.

Top 8 things families can do on a sunny day
When the sun is shining, there's no better thing than to push the kids outside and give yourself a moment's peace. Wait! You could actually embrace the moment and enjoy them with these 8 ideas from Kidspot's Activity Corner.
Play with the pooch
Just roughhousing with the dog is fun, provided everyone knows how to play safe! Take the pooch play one step further and start teaching your dog new tricks. The tricks in this video are easy enough for any family to embark upon!
See also:
Get fancy in the garden
How cute are fairy gardens? Well, they aren't cute if you have boys who may just put a pox on your suggestion of such an idea. But if you have girls, or willing boys, making a fairy garden is a great way to while away an afternoon in the sun. All you need is a few stones, a box and off you go.
See also:
Pack a picnic and drive away together
Picnics don't have to be hard work, just grab some food and take a trip to a nearby adventure playground – we have some awesome listings on Kidspot Weekend. Our justb editor Pip Lincolne took this video of a road trip picnic she took her family on. Cute, no?
See also:
Make a tent that lasts only for a day
Cubby houses are awesome fun, right? But it was way more fun when mum or dad would help you out and spend some time playing with you. Try stringing up this easy tent for a fun day out without leaving the back garden.
See also:
Just be explosive together
This is such an easy thing to do, but kids will be amused for, oh, at least half an hour. Just grab a ziploc bag, some bicarb soda and vinegar and make an exploding sandwich bag. The mess is easy to clean up, and if you want to hear kids giggle – this will do it.
See also:
Make a kite (or buy one!) and let the wind take you away
Kite-flying is something all kids should experience – even if it's a flop. Flying kites is not only a great way to spend time outdoors, but it teaches kids about the forces of weather (and whether kites CAN actually fly!). This kite can fly … watch the video to see!
See also:
Do some silly dancing
My favourite is to turn on some Rocky Horror Picture Show music and show the kids how to do the time warp. They just think I'm plain weird. But there's all kinds of silly dancing you can do – and it's more fun if adults embarrass themselves doing it. Remember The Madison? The Macarena? And now this generation of kids has their own silly dance – the Sponge Bob, which is that strange shuffly dance the cartoon character does. We have a video tutorial on how to do it. Trust me, it's hard.
See also:
Record your kids
Get out your camera or phone, and just take some beautiful photos of the family. How often do we forget to do that now that we can take photos whenever we want?

"I just think it's going to be a tremendous opportunity for our students," superintendent Bill Hochgesang said.
Bill Hochgesang is the superintendent for Northeast Dubois Schools. After consulting with students district wide, and researching iPad initiatives, Hochgesang says they're prepared to roll out their own, starting next school year.
"7-12 starting school year 2013-14, and then we will add grades 5 and 6 for school year 14-15. Then, finally, in school year 15-16, we will be K-12," Hochgesang said.
School corporations across the country have handed out technology to their middle and high school-aged students. But what makes this one unique, is that children as young as 6 years old will get an iPad.
"I asked the kids, 'If we had the perfect school, at Dubois Elementary or at Celestine Elementary, what would that perfect school look like?' And one of the top three items at every grade level was technology," said Brenda Ferguson, principal for Celestine and Dubois Elementary. "I mean these kids are growing up with technology. We need to go to where the kids are, rather than them waiting for us."
Schools here are not devoid of technology, but what they have is a little outdated. Students and faculty both believe the iPads will make learning more efficient.
"The computer labs, there's always kids using them here. It is a hassle to find one open and that works good and everything. My friends, we all talk about it, and we all think it's a good idea," Northeast Dubois junior, Rachel Breitwieser said.
Northeast Dubois has also found space in the budget to hire Technology Integration Specialist Shanna Steckler. Steckler will be teaching teachers and students how to use the iPads.
She also tells 14 News that school curriculum will be posted to an iPad app that will allow students instant access to lesson plans, so that they can learn at their own pace outside of school hours.

|Ottoville eyes raising sewer rates
|Tuesday, January 29, 2013 1:23 PM
OTTOVILLE — The village of Ottoville held its monthly council meeting Monday night and addressed an array of business matters.
In an effort to increase village revenue, council studied comparable sewer rates from the villages of Continental and Kalida and entertained the possibility of assessing an additional 25 cents per 1,000 gallons of water, raising the current price from $4.25 to $4.50. At this time, the current quarterly rates include $12 for sewer, $10 for water and $66 for water delivery. If the proposed increase would take effect, it would generate approximately $8,000 a year in additional revenue for the village.
In fiscal news, council approved the motion to transfer $50,000 from the general fund into the street construction fund.
Mayor Ron Miller reported that the first phase of the installation of 16 new LED street lights and four meters has been completed. The plan is to track the kilowatt usage of the lights and determine the energy cost savings, or return on investment (ROI). After six months, the village should have acquired sufficient data to analyze the system's energy efficiency.
"By fall, we should have an accurate reading on our savings," Miller emphasized. "Purchase of additional lights may be slated later and hinges on the budget ."
Council reflected on some old business. On Nov. 26, Village Council approved the purchase of 11.757 acres of Niedecken property in the Industrial Park and will utilize the property for commercial development. The land costs $7,000 per acre, bringing the total purchase price close to $82,300. At this time, the title search is under way, and the overall process of purchasing the land is moving forward as expected.
In new business, members discussed the Fire Mutual Aid Addendum with Ottawa village, which is an annual contract for mutual aid for fire protection that requires other districts to pay for the use of the aerial ladder truck. According to the addendum passed by Ottawa village council in December, any of the entities included in the agreement will be required to pay $2,000 when the ladder truck is dispatched, regardless if it is cancelled before the truck is enroute. The truck will then cost an additional $200 per hour until the truck is marked back in service. The truck will also be manned by four Ottawa firefighters and additional charges will be assessed for lost or broken tools and appliances. Mayor Miller is apprehensive about the costs associated with the service and recommends researching other options, including using American Township's ladder truck.
"The truck is a big outfit and if we use it, we better know where it is going before we call," Miller spoke with caution. "We also need to know where the water supplies are."
Ottawa Chamber of Commerce members presented a model of the village's four new entrance signs and spoke on verifying each landmark's location and described the installation.
Each sign is 8 feet long and 5 feet tall, made of 3/4 inch aluminum and will be bolted down onto a one foot high, 6,000 pound concrete slab. The village paid for two of the four signs, at $19,000, and Chamber picked up the balance. H&M Machine & Welding donated the concrete, bolts and re-bar needed to complete the installation, which will take place when the weather is conducive. The signs will also be highlighted with either solar or electrical powered lighting.
The Board of Public Affairs has been researching the cost to repair the firehouse. The department's station renovations include interior painting of the floor and walls and replacement of existing metal walls. The total anticipated cost for the work is $25,000 to $26,000. Quotes include $20,000 to paint the flooring and striping in the fire bay, storage and utility rooms. During the assessment of completing metal fabricated wall structures, an issue arose regarding the condition of the electrical wiring and boxes. There is also a water leak in the roofing which seems to be amplified by snow and ice.
"The system is outdated and needs to be replaced," Miller stated. "I'm not sold on painting the floor. That [the electrical work] needs to be taken care of before any painting of the floors."
The plans to renovate the fire station is in the works to prepare the village while hosting the 139th Northwest Ohio Fire Convention (NOVFA) on June 13-15 this year. The proposed detailed cruise and parade routes were presented to and approved by council members. The three-day event will draw similar numbers of fire departments, (110) and guests registered (1,200) as last year's convention held in Delphos.
The next regular meeting is set for 7 p.m. on Feb. 25.
