Fantastic. I've been seeing him for around 8 years, and he's always helpful, very kind, ery personable, easy to talk to. He's also incredibly knowledgeable, and not just of neurology and ADHD, but all medicine. He even "diagnosed" my Baker's Cyst from just listening to the problems I was having, when my physician had no clue what was going on even after multiple examinations. Highly recommended.

This invention relates to a control circuit for automatically deenergizing electric heating elements operating in a cooking environment, such as in an electric deep fat fryer or in an electric oven, responsive to an over temperature condition.
In restaurant cooking equipment, such as deep fat fryers for example, there is normally a container filled with cooking fat heated to a set cooking temperature, most often in excess of 250� F, and an operating thermostat sensing the cooking fat temperature cycles the heating means on and off to maintain the set temperature. In an electric deep fat fryer, power to the electric heating elements is controlled by a contactor having a set of high capacity contacts opened and/or closed by a coil connected in a low power control circuit with a set of switch contacts actuated by the operating thermostat. Most safety regulations further require a high temperature safety control which functions if the operating control fails and which is designed to terminate input power only if high unsafe temperatures are sensed.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,824,373 issued July 16, 1974, to Clarence H. Napier illustrates a safety control circuit for a deep fat fryer which incorporates two control contactors each having high-current contacts connected in series with the heating elements, and the operating coils for the separate contactors are controlled, respectively by the operating thermostat and by a high temperature safety thermostat. However, since the safety contactor contacts are never shifted except responsive to an over temperature condition, if the contacts should become fused together, the fact that the safety thermostat signalled an unsafe condition would not necessarily assure that input power to the heating elements had been terminated.
This invention represents not only a more reliable safety control but also a control that during normal use is continuously being checked as to its workability, and this confidently assures the users that the same is operating satisfactorily.
The disclosed safety control uses a safety contactor having high-current contacts in a series power connection with the heating elements and further provides that these contactor contacts are shifted responsive to an over temperature condition and moreover everytime the main power control switch is opened. Moreover a signal device is connected across the main power lines between the safety contactor high-current contacts and the heating elements operable to detect the "on" power input condition to the heating elements and further to detect malfunctioning fused closed contacts of the safety contactor. This allows for continuous appraisal of the proper working condition of the safety contactor even though it might never have been activated responsive to a non-safe condition.
One embodiment of the subject invention provides a safety thermostat of the manual reset type, so that once it has been triggered responsive to an over temperature condition it must be manually reset in order to have input power to the heating elements.
Another embodiment of the subject invention has operating and safety relays in the control circuit and manually actuated start and stop control buttons connected respectively to normally open start switch contacts and normally closed stop switch contacts. These control buttons can be located on a front panel of the fryer unit forward of the cooking fat container holding the normally high temperature fat. Further, the energized safety relay holds the fryer unit in a power off inoperative condition responsive to a sensed over temperature condition, and the stop button must first be manually shifted to release this activated safety relay and the start switch button must then be shifted before subsequent use of the fryer can be started, and only then if the cooking fat as sensed by the safety thermostat has sufficiently cooled.
This invention will be more fully understood and appreciated after reviewing the following specification, the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away and in section, .[.1.]. of a typical commercial deep fat fryer shown with a first embodiment of the subject invention incorporated therein;
FIG. 2 is a schematic of the first embodiment electric control circuit incorporated in the fryer illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic of a second embodiment of an electric control circuit suited for incorporation in a fryer; and
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the fryer utilizing the control of FIG. 3.
In FIG. 1, frying apparatus 10 is shown having a structurally rigid housing including side walls 11 and an upper panel 12 with an opening for receiving and holding open top fat container 13 at the upper peripheral lip portion thereof. A box-like control head 14 is located at the rear of the upper panel hinged at pins 15 to be swung between the operating position as shown and a tilted back position (shown in phantom).
Electric heating elements 17, 18, and 19 are mounted structurally from the control head and are bent downwardly to extend toward the bottom of the fat container 13 and forwardly to traverse the container for heating cooking oil contained therein. The tilted back support of the control head allows for the removal of the otherwise rigid heating elements from within the container, and the removal of the container completely from the housing for changing the fat or otherwise cleaning or servicing the fryer. The heating elements shown are typically of a sheathed type, and the general practice is to use three such elements for ready use of the fryer on three phase power electrical inputs and to stagger them side by side for compact arrangement.
There also is a thermostat control typically of the sealed hydraulic type having a sensing bulb strapped to the heating element in a manner to sense both the temperature of the fat in the container and the temperature of the heating element should there accidentally be no fat covering the heating element. A capillary tube connects the bulb to an actuating bellows which expands and contracts as the temperature of the bulb varies, and the bellows movement opens and closes a set of switch contacts which is used to control the power input to the heating elements. The bellows and switch contacts are mounted in the control head and the sensing bulb is mounted on a heating element, and such location is typical with a thermobulb type thermostat to minimize repeated flexture of the connecting capillary tube. In the subject disclosure .Iadd.and referring both to FIGS. 1 and 2.Iaddend., one thermostat control with its bulb 20, connecting capillary tube 21, bellows 22 and operated switch contacts 23 is associated with the normal operating on-off cycling of the heating elements whereby the temperature can be adjustably set as required to within the operating range of 250� F to 400� F, for example, whereas a second thermostat control and its bulb 25, connecting capillary tube 26, bellows 27 and operated switch contacts 28 is used only to sense over temperature conditions which are deemed unsafe for consistant use, and this high limit should not exceed 475� F.
Referring to FIG. 2, the heating elements 17, 18, and 19 are shown in .[.an.]. appropriate power series circuits with three-phase power lines X, Y, and Z and spaced contactors 30 and 34 having separate operating high capacity contacts (31, 32, and 33) and (35, 36, and 37) respectively. The three-phase power .[.circuit.]. has full voltage for example 208, 240, or 480 volts depending on power requirements of the heating elements across any two lines XY, ZY, or XZ. The series power .[.circuit.]. .Iadd.circuits .Iaddend.through contactors 30 and 34 and the heating elements 17, 18, and 19, provide that the opening of the contacts of either contactor terminates the energy input from the power lines X, Y, Z to and through the heating elements. .Iadd.The power series circuits through the heating elements and the closed contacts of the contactors 30 and 34 are independent of one another. .Iaddend.
In the subject disclosure, there are two embodiments and where appropriate like components shown in the respective embodiments are illustrated with identical numbers. Each contactor has an actuating coil which is connected in the control system and which upon being energized closes the contacts of the respective contactor. In this regard, coil 46 is operatively associated with the contactor .[.30.]. .Iadd., hereinafter referred to as the operate or operating contactor, .Iaddend.and coil 48 is operatively associated with the contactor .[.34.]. .Iadd., hereinafter referred to as the safety contactor. .Iaddend.Also in connection with the common components, an indicator light 49 of amber color is connected in parallel across the coil 48 of the operating contactor 34, and an indicator light 52 of green color is connected across .Iadd.two of .Iaddend.the power .[.input.]. .Iadd.circuits between .Iaddend.lines X and Y as shown at a location between the heating elements 17 and 18 and the operating contacts 31 and 32 of the safety contactor 30.
Referring first to FIG. 2 for a more detailed description of the first operating circuit, there is provided a main on/off switch 50 having separable contacts which can be permanently held closed or permanently held open, and the switch is in a series circuit from power line L1 through the contacts 28 of the safety thermostat control to junction point 53, where the circuit breaks into two parallel legs to power line L2, one leg including the actuating coil 46 to the safety contactor 30 and the other leg including the series connection of the operated switch contacts 23 of the operating thermostat and the coil 48 of the operating contactor 34. .Iadd.The switch 50 can be located on the front wall of the fryer as shown in FIG. 1. .Iaddend.
Power lines L1 and L2 can be identical to any two of power lines X, Y, or Z; or can be at a lower voltage resulting from a step down transformer (not shown), connection with these lines, depending on the local code requirements or on the preference of the installer. .Iadd.The power lines are brought into the interior control section of the fryer in any typical manner and are therefore not shown other than in the schematic. .Iaddend.Red indicator light 54 is connected in a parallel hookup across the controlled switch contacts 28 of the safety thermostat control and the same is of such high resistance so that in the normal contacts closed condition there is insufficient current draw to light the indicator light, whereas with the switch contacts 28 open there is sufficient draw to light the indicator light 54 but not enough to energize either actuating coil 46 or 48.
The safety thermostat bellows arrangement is preferably of the type that actuation of the bellows 27 in a manner to open the switch contacts 28 throws an overcenter toggle or the like (not shown) to preclude back movement or closing of the contacts 28 incident to a cool down of the sensed temperature, instead the contacts must be manually shifted such as by actuation of control button 56 for instituting a restart condition of the circuit.
In normal operation of the control circuit indicated in FIG. 2, it will be appreciated that the safety contacts 28 are closed as are normally the operating thermostat contacts 23. Consequently with power in the lines X, Y, and Z, and L1 and L2, closing the main on-off switch 50 simultaneously energizes the actuating coils 46 and 48 of the respective safety and operating contactors 30 and 34 to bring main-line power through the heating elements 17, 18, and 19. At this time the amber indicator light 49 glows indicating that the operating contactor 34 is closed, and the green indicator light 52 glows indicating that likewise the safety contactor 30 is closed. Power is thus carried to the heating elements until the time that the operating thermostat bulb 20 senses the set high temperature and actuates bellows 22 to open the contacts 23 and thereby deenergize the actuating coil 48 and indicator light 49, and thereby open the contactor .[.switches.]. .Iadd.contacts .Iaddend.35, 36, and 37 to deenergize the heating elements. The green indicator light 52 remains on since the safety contactor 30 through energized actuating coil 46 is still closed.
Under normal use the operating thermostat thus cycles to energize and deenergize the heating elements sufficient to satisfy the demand. Should however the contactor 34 or the operating thermostat fail and an over temperature condition be reached, the safety thermostat is activated to open the safety thermostat control contacts 28 to cut power to both actuating coils 46 and 48 of the respective contactors.
When the contacts 31, 32, and 33 open, main power to the heating elements is cut off to stop further heating of the cooking oil. Opening of contacts 28 turns red signal light 54 on indicating an over temperature condition of the cooking oil.
In as much as under normal operation an over temperature condition will not be reached except by the malfunction of the operating contactor 34, the green signal light 52 shall still remain on because of leakage current through closed contacts 35 and 36 and the heating elements 17 and 18. This indicates that main power to the unit is still on; however, this leakage current is insufficient for significant operation of the heating elements and the oil thus cools down.
Power can only be restored by manually resetting the safety control, by depressing the button 56, but this is only after sufficient cool down of the cooking oil, and this closes the safety thermostat control contacts 28 and reenergizes the actuating coils 46 and 48 of the respective safety and operating contactors 30 and 34. If the subsequent operation results in another over temperature condition, the operator is clearly appraised of malfunctioning equipment and can arrange for service of same.
Of significance in the subject invention is the fact that the main on-off switch 50 and the .Iadd.contacts 28 of the .Iaddend. safety control .[.thermostats 28.]. .Iadd.thermostat .Iaddend.are effectively in series and each is effectively in a parallel hookup with the actuating coils 46 and 48 .[.and.]. .Iadd.of .Iaddend.contactors. This means that each of the contactors is actuated responsive to the operator opening the on-off switch 50 such as at the end of the cooking day. Consequently both contactors should open and should take power away from the heating elements, and the green light 52 should thus turn off. If the safety contactor 50 should malfunction fused closed, then a circuit is established from lines X and Y through the closed contacts 31 and 32 to the indicator 52, and the illuminated indicator warns the operator that such a malfunction exists and repair of same is in order. It should be appreciated that the contactors are of such physical construction that should any pair of separate contacts become fused together none of the contacts can be separated since the operating mechanism of the contacts acts in unison responsive to the single pull of the actuating coil and/or of a return spring not shown.
A second embodiment of the invention is disclosed in FIG. 3, and this embodiment uses a thermostat of the automatic resetting type and the control itself acts to maintain the thermostat disabled until a reset device is manually actuated. Thus there is provided normally opened start switch 60 and normally closed stop switch 62; and there further is provided an operate relay 54 and the safety relay 56. The relays are .Iadd.of .Iaddend.typical construction and have a pair of movable leaf switches each which can be connected across opposing contacts for completing or breaking circuits through the moving leaf, and an actuating coil is used to shift the movable leaf. Specifically, the operate relay has actuating coil 70 and a pair of moving leafs 71 and 72; whereas the safety relay has actuating coil 74 and a pair of moving leafs 75 and 76. The start and stop switches can be located on the front wall of the fryer forward of the fat container to allow an operator to actuate them without reaching over the fat container.
The control circuit is completed, upon a momentary closing of the start switch 60, from the line L1 through the switch 60 to junction 78, and through operate relay coil 70 and closed leaf contact 76 to the line L2. The energized coil 70 shifts the leaf contacts 71 and 72 closed, .Iadd.against contacts 81 and 82, respectively, .Iaddend.whereupon a holding circuit is maintained through the normally closed stop switch 62 to junction 80, and through the now closed leaf 71 to the junction 78 and through the energized operate relay coil 70 as noted. The power at the junction 78 further is carried by the now closed leaf 72 through the operating thermostat switch contacts 23 and the actuating coil 48 of the operating contactor 34 to line L2. Power is carried further from the common hot junction 78 and across the safety control thermostat switch leaf 84 and engaged contact 85 through the actuating coil 46 of the safety contactor 30 to line L2. Consequently upon the operate relay being energized, circuits are completed through the respective actuating coils 46 and 48 to shift the contactors 30 and 34 thereby applying power through the heating elements 17, 18, and 19. During this power on condition the amber light 49 glows because of the energized coil 48; and the green indicator light 52 glows because of the closed safety contactor contacts. Also, cycling of the operating thermostat contacts 23 as dictated by demand cycles the heat elements on and off.
The safety thermostat as noted includes a movable leaf 84 which.Iadd., .Iaddend.responsive to the sensing bulb 25 indicating the set .[.oversafe.]. .Iadd.overheat .Iaddend.temperature .Iadd., .Iaddend.is shifted from against contact 85 to against normally open contact 86 .[.and this.]. .Iadd.. This .Iaddend.brings power through the safety relay coil 74 to line L2, and this further illuminates red indicator light 54 in a parallel hookup connection with the coil 74. Upon the safety relay coil 74 being energized the leaf contacts 75 and 76 are shifted and the opened leaf 76 breaks the circuit through the operate relay coil 70 to deneergize the operate relay and thus allow the leaf contacts 71 and 72 to return to their positions as shown; and .[.secondly.]. .Iadd.the closed leaf contact 75 .Iaddend.establishes a safety relay hold circuit through coil 74 by means of the closed leaf 75 .[.to junction 80 and through.]. .Iadd.and .Iaddend.the normally closed stop switch 62.

The energized safety relay maintains the operate relay deenergized and the latter cannot be energized unless and until the safety relay is first deenergized, and this can only happen after the cooking oil has cooled sufficiently to allow the contact 84 to shift back against contact 85 and then subsequent to this condition of manually opening stop switch 62. Thus when the safety relay coil 74 is energized, the unit cannot be started by closing the start switch 60, and likewise during the unsafe condition when the over temperature condition exists and contact 86 is engaged by moving leaf 84, the safety control cannot be deenergized merely by opening the stop switch 62 .[.. . . since immediately upon the same closing the stop relay will then be reenergized.].. The deenergized safety control relay allows the safety relay leafs 75 and 76 to shift to their normal positions shown, so that a subsequent cycle can be instigated upon momentarily closing the start control switch 60.

Royle Family star Caroline Aherne fighting lung cancer
The award winning writer, actress and comedian Caroline Aherne has revealed that she is fighting lung cancer.
The Royle Family and Mrs Merton creator has been undergoing treatment for the cancer in Manchester.
Caroline, who was raised in Wythenshawe, revealed her fight as she backed a £3.4m bid to improve care for cancer patients in the city.
She said: "I've had cancer and my brother's had cancer and we know how it affects people.
We're lucky in Manchester to have some of the best bits of cancer care with places like The Christie, the Nightingale Centre and the Cecelia Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital and St Ann's Hopice - and the last thing I want to do is knock the fantastic work that goes on in this city [...]
"But even the best doctors, nurses and managers on earth aren't going to be able to understand what needs improving unless people affected by cancer in Manchester get involved and tell them what needs to change."
"It's truly shocking to learn that Manchester came bottom out of 150 areas in England for premature deaths from cancer. Our survival rates are a quarter lower than average and the number of people getting lung cancer is a third higher here than in the rest of England.
There are too many stories about bad communication leading to patients waiting too long and feeling ignored and abandoned and that same bad communication is contributing to poor statistics on cancer."

Virginia Democrats spurn 'personhood' bill
Virginia Democratic leaders are speaking out against Republican legislation that they said seeks to make abortion illegal and even might restrict access to some forms of legal birth control.
The Democrats lashed out at House Bill 1, which would define a human embryo or fetus as a person under state law. The bill, introduced by Delegate Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, states that, beginning at conception, unborn children have "all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this Commonwealth," regardless of their stage of development.
The bill also declares that, "Unborn children have protectable interests in life, health, and well-being."
Senate Democratic Caucus Chair Donald McEachin of Richmond and Henrico County and Delegate Charniele Herring of Alexandria held a conference call Thursday to discuss the bill and what they describe as "efforts to advance dangerous, divisive and distracting personhood legislation by state and national Republicans including George Allen and Mitt Romney."
McEachin calls the bill "an abhorrent attack on women's rights."
Herring agrees.
"It could have the effect of limiting access to reproductive health care, even in the case of rape, incest or possible death of the mother," Herring said. "It could also limit women's access to common forms of FDA-approved forms of contraception."
(However, Marshall's bill states that "Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as affecting lawful assisted conception.")
HB 1 was the first piece of legislation submitted for consideration by the House during the General Assembly session that began Wednesday. The measure has been referred to the House Courts of Justice Committee.
In previous legislative sessions, bills of this nature have been passed by the Republican-controlled House of Delegates but were halted in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Such measures often died in the Senate Education and Health Committee.
But because of last fall's elections, Democrats lost their 22-18 majority in the Senate. The 40 senators now are evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, who presides over the Senate and can cast tie-breaking votes, is a Republican.
As a result, measures like HB 1 have a greater chance of being passed and becoming law.
"We're not in a position to stop bills like this as we once were," McEachin said. "That's why we're here. That's why it's important to get the word out to Virginians."
Herring said she considers the bill a distraction from problems such as poverty, joblessness, underfunded schools and roads needing repair.
"With [Republicans'] newfound power, you might expect them to get right to work in creating jobs and improving education, but unfortunately that's not the case," Herring said. "This kind of legislation … won't help Virginia business, won't make college more affordable for young adults, and it won't make our streets safer."

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

This location is shown only to members
New members -- this one is for you! If you've joined recently, or haven't done this event yet, you can RSVP to this easy-paced late afternoon stroll up Mount Vic and meet some other new faces to Adventure Wellington. Preference will be given to those that have not been on this walk before.
The Plan: We start in front of the Embassy Theatre on Kent Terrace, and walk along Oriental Bay, then up the last part of the Southern Walkway, with great views of the city.
Finally after we make it to the Mount Victoria Lookout we'll have some terrific 360 degree views.
Although the tracks are steep, we would do it on an easy pace with lots of stops to admire the views. The walk will take about two to two and a half hours.
After the walk, those who are interested can come for a customary AW after-event drink, and free platters of food, thanks to one of our great sponsors, The Southern Cross bar!
Difficulty: 2.5/5
Distance: 7 km
Time: 2.5 hours (including 15 minutes at the summit)
What to bring: sturdy shoes, a camera, a good sense of humor, fun attitude, and maybe a walking stick for traversing the steep hills
How to get there: Frequently served by buses (catch a bus going to Courtenay Place) and we will end close to where we started (at the waterfront at Oriental Parade).
Good start. Had fun throughout and connected with Eva and Shelley over a hot choc afterwards :)

How to Pack Luggage?
"You're so innocent!"
You'd think so, wouldn't you…
ive been asked a few times how i draw back-views, especially for character sheets so i wanted to share a little trick I learned a while back that's really really helpful especially if you're used to drawing things from the front and need help getting the proportions right from the back view.
You don't ALWAYS have to do this the way that I do; The only reason I put effort into the front view is because this is going to be a character sheet and I need the front view to be fleshed out.
But alternatively; Just sketch out a sillhouette, then fill it in on a higher layer.
Sorry if someones already done this before im just answering a frequently asked question ;w;
finally done the story of the "virgin" mary and her immaculate conception for my sequential art final. very happy with how this came out/that it's finished.

A bank robber dubbed the "Hooded Bandit" who has been on the loose for more than a year robbed his sixth northwest suburban bank Monday.
The suspect, named the "Hooded Bandit" because he covers his head with a hood during each crime, is suspected of robbing banks in Wood Dale, Rolling Meadows and Bensenville, according to the FBI, which describes him as "armed and dangerous."
The most recent robbery happened about 4:30 p.m. Monday at the Chase Bank branch at 133 W. Grand in Bensenville, according to the FBI. The robber approached the teller and made a "quiet but threatening" demand for money, then received cash from an employee before walking out.
Though not armed during Monday's robbery, the bandit has previously displayed a silver handgun, according to the FBI.
The previous robbery happened the morning of Dec. 9 at another Chase Bank branch in Bensenville, that one at 123 W. Main St., according to the FBI. During that robbery, he approached the teller and quietly demanded money, but did not display a weapon.
On Dec. 2, 2013, he struck a Charter One branch at 3901 Kirchoff Rd. in Rolling Meadows for the second time, according to police. He did not show a weapon during the Dec. 2 robbery. On April 19, 2013, he robbed the same bank with the silver handgun.
On Nov. 15, 2013, he robbed the Charter One branch at 333 E. Irving Park Rd. in Wood Dale, according to the FBI. He implied he had a weapon, but did not display one.
The first robbery in the spree happened Feb. 15, 2013, at the BMO Harris Bank branch at 130 W. Devon in Wood Dale, according to the FBI.
The "Hooded Bandit" is described as a 50-60-year-old white man, between 5-foot-8 and 6-foot, and 165 pounds, according to the FBI. Though he keeps his head covered, witnesses have described him as having gray facial hair.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to his capture. Anyone with information should call the FBI at (312) 421-6700.

School day's end is also a beginning at Nashua after school program
Instructor Jonathan Starks shows Rebeca Lins, 10, and Mariana Sierra, 9, the different parts of a silkscreen machine so they can learn how to make their own custom T-shirts. (BENJAMIN C. KLEIN PHOTO)
In order for a school to qualify for the program, roughly a third of the student population must be eligible for free or school lunches. Once a school is eligible, every student is eligible to enroll in the program that, at a maximum, costs $50 a month for a child to attend every day.
Kim Moreno said that because she and her husband work, having an affordable after-school program for 7-year-old Dmitri and 10-year-old Juliana is a huge help.
"My children are here so we can work, but they also like it. The program offers activities that would typically be much more expensive to participate in," she said.
Sue Almeida, director of the 21st Century After School Program, said that the program is funded by a federal grant administered through the state. She added the program is currently up for reapplication for the five-year grant.
"I am not worried about losing our funding," she said. "We are one of the biggest programs in the state and well established."
Superintendent Mark Conrad said that along with the Adult Learning Center, a nonprofit organization that rents space in all 12 elementary schools for a pre-school and after-school program, 21st Century is a necessity for the district.
"Both programs do an excellent job of coordinating with students' teachers to ensure that any subject they need extra help with is emphasized after school," Conrad said, who added no money from the district goes to either program.
Almeida said 21st Century programs have been in the district since 2000 and are currently located in Amherst Street, Dr. Crisp, Fairgrounds, Ledge Street and Mount Pleasant elementary schools and the Elm Street, Fairgrounds and Pennichuck middle schools.
"We have only been in the middle schools for the last four years. Five or six years ago they wouldn't have qualified," she said.
For kids, the after-school program is not something where they get to run around unstructured and unsupervised.
Deb Kudalis, Amherst Street Elementary School 21st Century Program coordinator, said 3 to 4 p.m. is homework time, 4 to 5 p.m. is spent in enrichment class, and 5 to 5:45 p.m. is for downtime as children wait to be picked up. Children are also provided a free snack and given a brief recess.
"A lot of these students have 10 to 11 hour days with school and the program combined, but they love it. There are times when students ask to be picked up early, and when parents show up early the kids don't want to go home and get very upset. I tell parents not to listen to the kids in the morning," Kudalis said.
Rosemarie Dillingham ran into just such a problem with her daughter Kaysi, 6, when she went to pick her up Thursday.
"She just gave me attitude because I came to pick her up early," Dillingham said with a laugh.
Dillingham said she enrolled Kaysi, an only child, into the program so that she gets as much social experience with other children as possible.
"I absolutely think this program is great. I love that I don't have to go somewhere else, and she doesn't have to get on a bus to go to the program. It's right here, and with the school all secure it is even better," she said.
Kudalis said the program offers a wide variety of programs, including athletics, arts and crafts, and academics.
Classes include karate, beading, fun math problems, science classes, silk screening, basketball and more. Almeida said each program at each school is different because "the culture of each school is different."
"A cheerleading class in one program that is very popular might not work in another school," she said.
The long days don't seem to bother the children at all.
Gwen Dockham, 9, and Martha Patino, 8, were goofing around during a beading class, proudly proclaiming that they are BFFs or "best friends forever."
Both said they enjoyed the program, with Gwen saying she would rather be in there than at home after school.
Rebeca Lins, 10, and Mariana Sierra, 9, are learning how to make custom T-shirts in a silkscreen class using equipment donated by the PTO.
Instructor Jonathan Starks reminded the girls that along with learning how to use the machine, they always have to clean up afterwards.
Zianna Ramos, 9, said that it isn't so bad being in the after-school program, despite having to do homework.
"It's really fun here, I don't mind coming here. It's not all about school work. Sometimes it's about having fun," Ramos said.
