Does anyone know whats happening on Henderson between Damen and Wolcott? There are about 15 cop cars and the street is blocked off.
I believe gun shots were heard.

Cinnamon Ice Cream
I fully admit this is a ridiculous question. Does anyone know of a place that sells cinnamon ice cream (store, shop, any place)? I've tried Mariano's and Jewel. I used to live in MN and during the holidays Kemp's would have it at the local grocers. I've heard that Blue Bunny also has it, but I haven't seen it at Jewel. (This is my mom's favorite and she is old and not well, so I'd like to find it before Thanksgiving.)
I've gotten it at Windy City Sweets before (around 3300 N. Broadway).
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt at River Point Shopping Center (Clybourn) has Cinnabon flavor and I am almost positive you can take it home by the pint. It's killer.

Attempted break in - laundry room
Someone smashed the glass of our building's basement around 1300 W Barry. We called 911 and when the police arrived, they stated that someone may have tried to get to the laundry machine to steal the money. People watch out.
Admittedly, now that I got the courage to look at which window got broken, I wonder if it was just an act of vandalism. The front garden apartment has several packages outside of their door that haven't been taken, and the cars in the back weren't broken into. We just have a small windowpane. I'm not sure what the person(s) who broke our glass were trying to do, but it definitely sounded scary as there were several thumps (maybe trying to break through the side door?) before breaking the window.
That's terrifying. My biggest fear would be that this criminal just got in the building and has access to all the residential floors! Thanks for posting I'm going to alert my relatives' and friends' building manager!

Dirt disposal
Any idea how to get rid of old dirt from container gardens? Looks like the yard waste disposal doesn't include soil. I have 20-30 gallons of potting soil used with vegetables for one season. Thoughts on where I can put this?
Can you spread it over your lawn or parkway?

Looking for a worthy cause to donate childrens toys/home stuff to...
We like to rotate out our still-newish toys and home stuff. Rather than send to Salvation Army for resale, we were hoping to donate to a cause here in Northcenter. Maybe a shelter or support center for single moms/dads, etc.
Ideas? Recommendations?
Ravenswood Community Child Care Center (RC4) provides very affordable child care to teenage parents (in addition to full-paying parents from the community), so long as those teens are pursuing their high school diploma or college degree. To donate toys to these kids, you can contact the daycare directly (www.rc4cares.com) or contact Parenting PROgress (http://ravenscov.org/mission-outreach/parenting-progress/), a program that provides support for these parents and their children.

For the past 4 days there has been a grey & white cat hanging around my house near Seminary & Eddy. He/She seems like an indoor cat, looks very soft & clean. I've tried a few times to get it to come to me, but have not had any luck. Thought it would be a good idea to post in case someone is looking for her. If I'm able to bring her inside, I will take her to PAWS.
Thanks for posting and trying to help his kitty. You can also post on Lost Cats Illinois via Facebook, a picture would help too. Poor thing is probably hungry and freezing out there. If you're able to get her/him inside you could also try taking her to a local vet to scan for a microchip.
Thanks for posting. If it wouldn't be too much hassle you might try to lure the cat with some wet food (very cheap), and then take her/him to get checked for a microchip. I'm sure he/she is just scared and has a home somewhere!

Ani, abandoned city of 1000 churches: News.com.au
July 31, 2014 - 12:36 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Founded more than 1600 years ago, the ancient city of Ani was once one of the world's greatest metropolises. Today it sits in crumbling ruins, its former glory a distant memory, says an article published in News.com.au World Travel section.
Sitting deep in eastern Turkey, thousands of kilometers from bustling Istanbul, Ani lay on several trade routes and grew to become a walled city of more than 100,000 residents by the 11th century, the article says.
At its peak, Ani was a city of opulence, magnificence and architectural wonder. It was the citadel, former capital and heart of the great Armenian empire.
Known as the city of 1000 churches, its religious buildings, palaces and fortifications were among the most technically and artistically advanced structures in the world, the article says.
All of its buildings were constructed using local volcanic basalt that was easily carved and came in a variety of vibrant colors from creamy yellow, to rose-red to jet black.
In the centuries that followed its peak, Ani and its surrounding region were conquered hundreds of times by Byzantine emperors, Ottoman Turks, Armenians, nomadic Kurds, Georgians, and Russians.
By the 1300s the city was in steep decline and completely abandoned by the 1700s.
Largely forgotten for over 700 years, its crumbling ruins were the victim of looters and vandals, Turks who tried to eliminate Armenian history from the area and poorly managed archaeological digs, the article says.

ONE mellow Friday evening a little while back, right after candle lighting, I was taking a walk. It was still a wintry and snowy time, but on that particular evening there was an elusive sense of spring in the air. I was walking back home with a sense of purpose when suddenly I heard a familiar sound in the distance. A lovely sing song sound floating on the air giving me an immediate sense of sonorous pleasure. Could it be? And in March?
I hadn't heard this delightful chime in quite a few years. But there it was coming closer and closer, louder and louder. It was unmistakable, the metallic, tinny, bell-like high note sound of the wind-up music chime box coming out of a megaphone speaker. The sound of the ice cream truck jingle-tinkle.

Trooper's killer Paul Howell appeals to Florida Supreme Court before execution date
Updated On: Feb 07 2013 07:13:47 AM PST
A drug trafficker convicted of killing a state trooper is asking the Florida Supreme Court to block his scheduled Feb. 26 execution.
Lawyers for Paul Augustus Howell asked the justices for a stay of execution and filed a post-conviction appeal on Wednesday.
MUGSHOTS: Florida's Death Row Inmates
Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey previously denied Howell's appeal in Jefferson County. That's where Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Jimmy Fulford was killed by an exploding pipe bomb in February 1992.
The bomb was in a gift-wrapped microwave oven Fulford found in a car he stopped for a traffic violation on Interstate 10 east of Tallahassee.
Howell was convicted of building the bomb that he intended to kill two women in Marianna because they knew too much about a South Florida drug trafficking ring.

Hall of Fame trainer Phil Johnson has decided to follow the same route in October that Volponi traveled to an upset victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) last year.Johnson said that Volponi, who is winless this season, will make his next start in the Meadowlands Cup (gr. III) at the Meadowlands on Oct. 3. Volponi was second in the Meadowlands Cup a year ago.After toying with the idea of running Volponi in the Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), Johnson said he has decided to take his 5-year-old back to the Classic at Santa Anita on Oct. 25. The son of Cryptoclearance has a record of 7-12-4 from 29 starts and career earnings of $3,143,232."He'd have to run terrible at the Meadowlands for me to change my mind," Johnson said. "It will be the Classic. I would like that because there are so many good horses going in the Classic that they're not going to be paying attention to us sneaking up on them."Even though Volponi has five seconds and a third in his six starts this season, it's unlikely that he will go off at odds of 43-1 like he did last year when he came from off the pace to win by 6 1/2 lengths at Arlington Park. Johnson mentioned most of the names of the top contenders for the Classic: Mineshaft, Candy Ride, Congaree, Empire Maker, and Medaglia d'Oro."Hopefully, they'll kill each other off," he said. "I want to run a quarter mile. They all want to run a mile and a quarter."Volponi finished third as the favorite in the Belmont Breeders' Cup (gr. IIT) Handicap on Sept. 13. It was his first turf start of the season and his first race with jockey John Velazquez. "He came out of it great," Johnson said. "What happened was I thought there was going to be some kind of pace in the race. I really didn't give John any orders. I just said, `Don't rush him.' The next thing you know he was a half-length off of quarter in 25 seconds. He couldn't hold him any more around the turn and he opened up by three. And he doesn't want to do that that early."Then, when they passed him he came on and was only beaten a length and a half. It looked like he was going to get beat six lengths."

School security tops concerns as districts near budget season
Keene Police Officer Matt Griffin, school resource officer for SAU 29, talks about school safety and the role of resource officers in the wake of the Newtown tragedy Friday afternoon at the high school. (MELANIE PLENDA)
At least three school districts - one where attempts have failed three times before - are looking into adding school resource officers, while others are looking to add more locks and other safety measures, all as a direct result of Newtown.
"Whether it's in Connecticut or anyplace, I think our society has a false sense of immunity that it will never happen (here)," said Middleton K. McGoodwin, superintendent of SAU 6, which includes Claremont, Cornish and Unity. "I think being proactive and not overactive is a good thing."
While SAU 6 has a resource officer, McGoodwin said he's not surprised that most, if not all, districts are reevaluating the issue of security.
At the Jan. 5 Kearsarge Regional School District deliberative session, Richard Anderson, a municipal budget committee representative from New London, asked to add $50,000 to the district's budget in order to hire a school resource officer. Anderson and school officials said the amount is an estimate of what they would need to cover salary and benefits of the officer who would be affiliated with the police department.
If it turned out not to cost as much, the money would be returned to the taxpayers, officials said. SAU 65 includes Bradford, Newbury, New London, Springfield, Sutton, Warner and Wilmot.
The amendment was overwhelmingly, but not unanimously, approved by the 80 voters - which included school board and municipal budget committee members - at the meeting. The resource officer issue is a contentious one, since measures asking for officers have been voted down at least three times in the past.
Voter Bob Wright of Sutton, spoke in favor of the amendment.
"It's too damn close and some people will say we're overreacting," Wright said. "I really don't think we are. Anybody who has munchkins knows what happened. And there's always a chance of something happening again."
However, there were some people in the audience who voted against the amendment saying that adding a resource officer wouldn't do anything to stop someone determined to kill.
"Trying to connect Newtown to anything in any way to what you're proposing here is completely out of touch," voter Charles Forsberg said. "Newtown was a very complicated arrangement that had nothing to do with the school. It just happened to be an unfortunate target."
Superintendent Leo Corriveau said voters in the Monadnock School District, which includes Fitzwilliam, Gilsum, Richmond, Roxbury Sullivan, Swanzey, Troy and Winchester, last year stopped funding the school resource officer position.
Corriveau said that last week voters submitted a petitioned warrant article asking for $65,000 to reinstate the resource officer position. Further, he said the district ran a lockdown drill and is looking at more ways to make the schools safer.
"All schools are doing this now," he said. "We're all taking extra precautions around school safety."
Corriveau said he, like most superintendents, see a resource officer not only as a deterrent, but also as someone who can help coordinate emergency responses, help with truancy and educate students and teachers about safety, along with a range of other activities.
Most resource officers are affiliated with police departments, but there are a few exceptions.
In Littleton, the district hired a retired police officer in 2010 for security after its school resource program was defunded. Littleton Superintendent Keith Pfeifer said though he is permitted to have a weapon, the retired officer doesn't carry a gun at the school.
"If you want to send the message at your school that weapons are not allowed at all for anybody, then you know," he said of the former officer not having a gun. "But who knows who's right on either side of this (gun in schools issue)."
But he did say, "If you're going to carry a Bushmaster (an assault weapon), I'm sorry, but there isn't much that we have that's going to stop that."
In the wake of Newtown, Pfeifer said there have been discussions of bringing back funding for a school resource officer.
However, he said district officials are looking for grant money to fund the position, so it probably won't go before the voters this year.
They already have a resource officer for SAU 29. That includes Chesterfield, Harrisville, Keene, Marlborough, Marlow, Nelson and Westmoreland. But, said superintendent Wayne Woolridge, right after Newtown, the district put together a task force to look at school safety. Out of that discussion, they've decided to appropriate $70,000 for new locking mechanisms for the schools in Keene, in addition to doing safety audits of the 13 school buildings in the district.
"I mean, really, Sandy Hook Elementary had some of the best safety (resources): having a camera (and) only two entrances," Woolridge said. "So when staff and parents (in SAU 29) started thinking and internalizing and began to generalize that experience to what could happen in their own school, they started to notice some things that were an issue."
He said these issues were on the capital improvement plan, but bumped them up as a direct result of Newtown.
From most accounts, no one sees resource officers as a silver bullet. But it's widely believed that the presence of an officer does act as a deterrent to some extent.
Further, said Keene Police officer Matt Griffin, who is the resource officer for the Keene School District, most resource officers are located near the front of school buildings.
Since many schools lock all of the doors except for a couple at the front, a trained officer is a good resource to have near the front of the school should an attacker come in, and could help mitigate some of the destruction.
As for having an armed police officer in school, Griffin explained that not only are police officers trained to cover their weapon even as they walk down the hall, but the gun is placed in a triple intent holster.
He said that means it's not waggling around loose in the holster making it easy for someone to grab. Instead, the officer has to go through three mechanisms to get the gun out of the holster.
"A school resource officer is insurance," superintendent Corriveau of the Monadnock District said. "And having all the resources in place is insurance. You just never know. You've just got to do these things."

Arsenal 0 Swansea 2: Arsène Wenger admits he is worried by the Gunners' failure to create goal-scoring chances after defeat
Arsène Wenger admitted his concern at Arsenal's failure to create goal-scoring opportunities after the Gunners were stunned by Swansea on Saturday.
Arsenal failed to click into gear at Emirates Stadium and Michu punished the north Londoners for a poor display with two late goals to give the visitors victory.
Wenger's side have only won one of their last six Premier League games, with the Gunners now languishing in 10th place in the table, 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.
The Frenchman, who was greeted with a chorus of jeers at the final whistle, conceded that his side were poor and that Swansea were worthy winners.
"We were not at our best today and Swansea deserved to win," Wenger told Sky Sports. "We were guilty because we've thrown it a little bit away by being not attentive in the last three minutes and we lost the game.
"It's a concern because we didn't create a lot. We were a little bit against the wall and our passing was not sharp or quick enough to create danger.
"We looked jaded, not sharp, and we tried very hard but we maybe lacked a little bit of maturity to keep at least a 0-0. We gave many chances away today.
"It's a big blow because we wanted to start [December] well and we go now to Olympiakos as well on Tuesday; the games come very quickly. We have to recover and win our next game."
Asked if an edgy atmosphere at The Emirates had an effect of his side's display, Wenger replied: "They have an influence but it's down to us to get the fans behind the team. The way we play has to create that.
"Of course when you lose a game the way we did you can understand that [the fans' reaction at the final whistle]."
Wenger added: "At the moment we have to catch up [to the title challengers]. I believe we have to find the quality of our game back and what we played today is not the way we wanted to play football.
"It's more important for us to concentrate on the quality of what we want to do, the vision we have of the game. Today that was not the case."

Israeli Attacks Kill 69 In Lebanon
Israel's attack on Lebanon intensified Monday as the international community failed again in securing a ceasefire. At least 69 people were reported killed in Lebanon.
Israel Threatens to Bomb All Cars in Southern Lebanon
Israel is now threatening to bomb all vehicles driven in Southern Lebanon. Israeli planes dropped leaflets ordering residents not to travel by car or truck. Israel has also warned residents of southern Lebanon not to go outdoors after 10 p.m.
Shiyyah Neighborhood of Beirut Bombed for First Time
For the first time Israel bombed the Shiyyah neighborhood, a southern suburb of Beirut. The strike destroyed a residential building and killed as many as 15 people. Shortly after the bombing, Democracy Now's Ana Nogueira spoke with an attorney from the Shiyyah neighborhood named Hassan Nizam.
- Hassan Nizam: "This area is inhabited — all the people are civilian. They came from South Lebanon. They are leaving the danger zone area to live here. This is the first time we see the fire here in this area. No Hezbollah here and no other here. This is civilian country."
Bombing of Bridges Cuts Off Tyre From Rest of World
The southern Lebanese city of Tyre is now largely cut off from the rest of the world. All bridges out of the city have been destroyed. On Monday, Israel bombed a makeshift bridge that had been set up to cross the Litani River. Doctors Without Borders created a 200-yard-long human chain across the river in order to get aid into the city of Tyre. Aid workers standing in knee deep water passed more than three tons of medical supplies and gasoline across the river by hand. The Guardian newspaper is reporting Israel has also threatened to attack UN peacekeepers if they attempted to repair bomb-damaged bridges in southern Lebanon.
UN: Virtually No Supplies Being Brought Into Lebanon
The Washington Post's Anthony Shadid reports for many residents of Tyre the current war has been more unsettling than Lebanon's 15-year civil war, more devastating than the 1982 Israeli invasion, and more destructive than Israeli offensives against Lebanon in 1993 and 1996. This is United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator David Shearer.
- David Shearer: "The situation in the country is deteriorating rapidly. Since the beginning of the war there has been virtually no supplies being brought into Lebanon with the exception of some relief supplies. That means Lebanon has been shut off from the outside world."
Arab League Press UN For Changes to Resolution
On the diplomatic front, the Arab League is pressing the United Nations Security Council to make changes to a draft resolution aimed at ending the fighting. Lebanon and other Arab states opposed the U.S.-written resolution because the resolution does not require Israel to immediately pull out of Lebanon. This is the Arab League's UN Observer Yahya Mahmassani.
- Yahya Mahmassani: "If you're talking about the respect of Lebanese sovereignty and integrity, the first thing you should do is get the Israelis out of Lebanese soil, get them to behind the blue line. This is the first prerequisite of respect for Lebanese sovereignty."
Lebanon has offered to send 15,000 troops to the border region. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert described it as interesting offer. On Monday President Bush held a news conference at his vacation home in Crawford Texas.
- President Bush: "Whatever happens in the UN, we must not create a vacuum into which Hizbollah and its sponsors are able to move more weapons. Sometimes the world likes to take the easy route in order to solve a problem. Our view is it's time to address root causes of problems. And to create a vacuum.... is unacceptable, it would mean that we haven't addressed the root cause."
Israel Prepares To Expand Attack on Lebanon
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz says Israel is preparing to expand military operations unless the United Nations quickly finds a solution. On Monday Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke via the Internet to members of the United Jewish Communities.
- Ehud Olmert: "I know you are all thinking we are fighting against Hizbollah. But let's face it, the State of Israel is fighting against the Iranians and the Syrians, who are using the Hizbollah in order to attack Israel from the north. This is a very difficult war, for the first time almost in the entire life of the state of Israel not just the soldiers fight, the entire country fights "
Seven UK Protesters Search U.S. Plane for Israel-Bound Weapons
In Britain, seven anti-war protesters were arrested Monday after trying to get on a plane at a British airport to search for US weapons being transported to Israel. Three people boarded a military plane. Four others were arrested at the airport. The activists were part of the anti-nuclear group Trident Ploughshares. No weapons were found by the group,
24 Die in Baghdad Car Bombings
In Baghdad, at least 24 people have died in a series of car bombings and shootings. In northern Baghdad, gunmen stormed a bank and killed five people. A pair of roadside bombs exploded in the Al Arabi market killing at least 10 people.
Pentagon: Every Army Division in Vietnam Committed War Crimes
The Los Angeles Times has revealed that U.S. forces committed far more massacres during the Vietnam War than has ever been publicly acknowledged. A once secret Pentagon task force determined that every army division that operated in Vietnam committed war crimes. The paper uncovered official government documents that detail 320 incidents of Vietnam war atrocities that were confirmed by army investigators.
Thousands Protest Outside Mexico's Electoral Court
In Mexico, presidential contender Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is continuing his protests to demand a full recount in last month's presidential election. On Monday, thousands of his supporters demonstrated in front of Mexico's electoral court. Lopez Obrador has vowed civil disobedience will intensify if a ballot-by-ballot recount is not conducted.
17 Aid Workers Killed In Sri Lanka
The French organization Action Against Hunger has suspended its operations in Sri Lanka after 17 of its aid workers were murdered on Friday. The French charity said it wanted to send a team to investigate the killings but that government soldiers prevented them from entering the town. The rebel Tamil Tigers and government forces have blamed each other for the killings. The aid workers were all ethnic Tamils. Over 440 people have died in the past two weeks in the Trincomalee district. A car bombing earlier today killed two people.
BP Shuts Down Largest Oil Field in U.S.
The oil company BP has shut down the Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska after discovering an oil spill. The oil field is the largest in the country and provides 8 percent of the nation's crude-oil production. Industry experts say the oil field might stay closed for several weeks. On Monday, oil prices surged by nearly three percent.
Lieberman Faces Lamont in Conn. Democratic Primary
In political news, voters in Connecticut are heading to the polls today for the closely watched Democratic primary between incumbent Senator Joseph Lieberman and Ned Lamont. We'll have more on the race in a few minutes. In Georgia, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is facing Hank Johnson in a run off.
NY Senate Candidate Barred From TV Debate
Meanwhile in New York, a controversy is emerging in the race between Senator Hillary Clinton and Democratic challenger Jonathan Tasini. The local news station New York One has refused to set up a debate between the two candidates because Tasini hasn't spent enough money on the race. The channel, which is owned by Time Warner, requires that candidates poll at least 5 percent and have spent or raised $500,000. Tasini is polling at 13 percent but his campaign has only raised $150,000.
Court: Tom Delay's Name Will Remain On Ballot
In political news, the Republican Party has lost a bid to have Tom Delay's name removed from the ballot in November. Delay withdrew from the race after he won the Republican primary.
2,000 Miners Go On Strike in Chile
In Chile, over 2,000 workers have gone on strike at the world's largest privately-owned copper mine. The Escondida mine produces about eight percent of the world's copper. Daily production has dropped by almost two-thirds because of the strike.
July 2006: Second Hottest July On Record in U.S.
New government records show that last month was the second hottest July on record in the United States. Last month's heat wave broke more than twenty three hundred daily temperature records across the country.
PR Company Tied To Online Video Mocking Al Gore
Meanwhile a new video has appeared online mocking Al Gore's fight against global warming and his film "Inconvenient Truth". In the short video Gore appears as a sinister figure who brainwashes penguins and bores movie audiences by blaming the Mideast crisis and Lindsay Lohan's shrinking waist size on global warming. The video is purportedly the work of a 29-year-old video-maker in Beverly Hills. But the Wall Street Journal has revealed the video appears to actually be the work of the public relations and lobbying company DCI Group. The company's clients include Exxon Mobil.

A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

Meet the 40: GadgetTrak's Ken Westin VIDEO
Send this to a friend
- Andy Giegerich
- Digital Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Our annual luncheon honoring the Business Journal's 40 Under 40 class is always a well-attended, high-energy event. We would expect no less given that the room is filled with 40 high-achieving professionals under the age of 40 along with their family, friends, coworkers and other well wishers.
We've always devoted loads of energy to developing a stellar publication recognizing our 40 Under 40, but this year we've gone a step farther and taped video interviews with the honorees (which are courtesy of Funnelbox Inc. and appear below), which we'll be displaying on our website between now and the Feb. 14 luncheon.
The attached video features the musings of Ken Westin, founder of GadgetTrak. Westin talks about why he likes to relax with his guitars — he's played since he was 12 and has what he laughingly describes as a "guitar fetish" — as well as spend his non-strumming free time with his family. When one starts up a company, it takes them away from the home front a lot, Westin explains.
As far as his business philosophy goes, Westin espouses the importance of finding the right people. It's important to form a good cohesive unit as early as possible, he noted. The part he loves best about his business? Helping return stolen gadgets to their rightful owners.
You can purchase tickets here for the awards luncheon on Feb. 14, and join the conversation on Twitter using #PBJ40u40.

Butler reigns supreme at Mount
Posted at 9:18am Monday 04 Feb, 2013
Mount Maunganui's Kehu Butler took the top spot in his Under 16 Division at the first event of the 2013 Billabong Grom Series at Mount Maunganui yesterday.
In good 1m waves with light onshore winds, Butler along with Gisborne's Jasmine Smith dominated their finals with victory for both surfers never looking in jeopardy.
Mount Maunganui's Kehu Butler competes at Mount Maunganui beach.
It is Butler's first title at Under 16 Boys level after winning multiple titles in the lower age groups throughout the past two years.
It also came on the back of a runner up placing in the Under 14 Boys Division earlier in the day, a result that he wanted to rectify in the Under 16s.
"I tried to push myself a bit more in the 16s after I lost in the Under 14s and it paid off with that good ride I got at the start," says Butler referring to the 9.0 point ride he surfed on his first wave.
"I thought I was going to get a good score for it and when it came through as a nine it allowed me to work on getting a back-up wave and increasing my lead for the rest of the final. I want to take the series out and this start has given me a good platform to work from."
Butler finished with a 15.47 point heat total to beat runner up Te Rapai Barbarich - Love (Waitara). Barbarich - Love had looked lethal all event with his energetic style suiting the mushy waves on offer.
National Champion Korbin Hutchings (Gis) placed third in the final scoring 11.13 behind Barbarich - Love's 11.57.
Hutchings will remain in New Zealand for the National Junior Surfing Team training session today before flying back to Australia where he currently resides.
Isaac Kettle placed fourth in the final, his best result to date in the Under 16 Boys Division.
Gisborne's Jasmine Smith went one better than her 2012 result winning the Under 16 Girls Division. The National Champion for the Under 18 Girls Division dominated the final scoring 11.67 points out of a possible 20.
"It is pretty good to win, the surf was really tricky so I am lucky to take it out," says Smith.
"All the other girls were surfing well today so I am looking forward to heading to the next event at Whangamata in a few weeks' time and doing the best I can again."
Piha surfer Claudia Fraser placed second in the final securing her best ever result in the division. After two third placings in 2012 and a second here at the first event, Fraser will be working hard in the coming weeks to find that edge over her opponents that will get her to the top of the podium.
Placing third in the final was local surfer Elin Tawharu with Abby Falwasser - Logan (Gis) in fourth.
Tane Bowden put the acid on his opponents in the Under 14 Boys final when his first two rides posted were a 6.20 and then a 6.83 which set up a comfortable win. The score line caused panic for his opponents who all required scores in excess of eight points to catch up. Bowden finished with a 13.03 point heat total to win his second final of the day after earlier taking out the Under 12 Boys Division.
Kehu placed second in the final scoring 10.33 points. Third placed Daniel Farr (Tara) started the heat strong again adding flare to his turns but he could not find more than one or two turns per wave which restricted his scoring. Christchurch surfer Sam Sands finished the final in fourth place.
Raiha Ensor from Mount Maunganui made up for a semi-final loss in the Under 16 Girls' Division by winning the Under 14 Girls. Ensor posted an 8.83 point total out of a possible 20. Surfing in an all Bay of Plenty final, she used her powerful backhand to rack up the points and beat her opponents with Maaia Reid - Bennett placing runner up.
Kea Smith placed third in the final ahead of Tiana Breeze de Mooj in fourth.
Tane Bowden (WGM) continued his excellent run of form from day one to win the Under 12 Boys Division with a 12.80 point heat total. Bowden's superior wave selection saw him able to complete several big turns on his waves finishing each powerfully on the inside section to beat his closest rival Kaya Horne (Aus).
Horne, an ex-Mount Maunganui local posted 9.40 points in the final with some precision surfing.
However he was unable to find the same wave quality of Bowden. Sonny Rapira - Martin (Tara) placed third in the final after earlier face planting the sand during practice in the morning. It was Rapira - Martin's first finals appearance in the Billabong Grom Series events. William Van Der Beek (Mnt) placed fourth.
Zhana Hutchieson (Tara) dominated the Under 12 Girls' Division showing excellent courage to tackle the testing conditions on her own. Hutchieson surfed aggressively to score 8.73 points and claim her first win at a national level, her previous best being a fourth in 2012. Hutchieson beat Staffi Vette (Gis) who placed second in her first ever final with Iritana Butler (Mnt) in third and first time finalist Stella Smith (Gis) in fourth.
Set out below are the final results from event one of the Billabong Grom Series presented by Oceanbridge completed at Mount Maunganui on Sunday.
