Last night, my car was stolen from in front of my house here in Plymouth. I send out this plea to the thief: please return my car soon, and in one piece.
I am a recent transplant to Marshall County; a single mother of three children, with no immediate family for aid. I have no money to replace my car soon. You've left my family with no way to drive anywhere. Life is already a challenge for us all. But now you've made it that much harder for me and my children.
I'm not as bent on justice, as I am desperate to have my only means of transportation back. Please do the right thing and return it-- preferably without destroying it.
If anyone has information regarding my car, please do the right thing for my family and contact the Plymouth Police Department. It is a black 1999 Toyota Corolla. Thank you.

Argos Community Schools has created a special ŌĆ£VeteransŌĆÖ ShowcaseŌĆØ for pictures of students who served in the military. The showcase is in the commons area and has been established for recognizing the efforts made by the individuals who were students and are now veterans. All veterans, including those actively serving, are to be recognized.
A picture of the veteran should be sent to the superintendent, Dr. Jennifer Lucht, at 410 North First Street, Argos, IN, 46501, with the following information: the actual years in attendance at Argos Schools (such as 1968-1977), the branch of service, the last rank attained, and the last assignment (job) and the name of their duty station. Frames for the pictures are optional.
The goal is to have the showcase complete with the veteransŌĆÖ information by November 11, 2012, VeteransŌĆÖ Day. The junior/senior high school is planning a special recognition for all veterans at that time. Questions may be directed to Dr. Lucht at 574-892-5139 or at firstname.lastname@example.com or junior/senior high school principal Nick Medich, 574-892-5137, email@example.com .

The mobile Food Bank of Northern Indiana visited Knox Thursday, May 24 to distribute food to the community. Approximately two hundred citizens from Knox and Starke County stood in line in temperatures above 80 degrees, to receive the much-needed relief.
Amanda Petersen, representative of the Food Bank of northern Indiana and those who were working with her demonstrated professionalism mixed with compassion, along with a great concern for the hungry families here in Starke County. When asked how they obtain all of the supplies, Petersen said, ŌĆ£Most is donated by large grocery chains that have excess. In addition, some companies make monetary donations. It cost $500.00 each time the truck goes outŌĆØ. One volunteer said, ŌĆ£Without the hunger relief, so many of our elderly who live on a small fixed income would have nothing by the end of the month, when it is a choice to eat or pay your light billŌĆØ.
The First Pentecostal Church at 509 South Roosevelt Road, hosted the Mobile Food Bank, offering their parking lot and many church members to assist in packaging, as well as loading heavy boxes for the elderly or disabled that attended.
Many members of the community made comments concerning the Mobile food bank as well as the local church food pantry such asŌĆ"
-if I did not come here we would have nothing to eatŌĆ"God bless you all.
- This is the best thing that happens in this county. I am thankful
-This church food pantry is so much better than the one the council on aging has once a month.
-with all the factory closings, we need the help, thank God for this church and you people.
-ItŌĆÖs great that this church does this, Starke county is the poorest county in the state, IŌĆÖm thankful.
One smiling recipient simply said ŌĆ£YAY!ŌĆØ
The church offers the only faith based food pantry in Starke County; open each Wednesday evening beginning at 8:30. Anyone 18 years old or above, in need of food is eligible.
In addition, the church will gladly receive any donations of food or finance to help support the local food pantry. At present, the church pantry is funded solely by its members. If you are interested in donating, please contact the church at 574-772-4165 .
Healthcare Changes Supported by Workforce Training
The Healthcare industry is undergoing profound changes driven by technology and the need to reduce costs and improve outcomes. Health Information Technology is a growing field, and based on these lofty goals, a tremendous workforce shortage is projected, particularly as it relates to skills required to implement and optimize electronic medical record systems. Fortunately, grant funding has been made available to increase the pool of qualified workers.
Individuals with either healthcare or Information Technology experience can participate in grant-subsidized training, if they enroll in a monthly cohort prior to October 2012. Current students are unemployed, under-employed, and career changers, with a variety of skills, i.e., Medical Assistants, physicians and nurses, IT workers from a variety of industries, Ph.Ds., and more.
Interested parties may apply online at www.ivytech.edu/hit-training. Please help spread the word about this important program and let's continue to expand on Indiana's successes in the health technology industry by building the strongest workforce in the country!

The Marshall County 4-H Fairboard is soliciting for sponsorship of flower barrels to be used during our 4-H fair. The cost is $100.00 and can be renewed annually. The flowers will be planted by the Master Gardeners and the 4-H Fairboard. The Fairboard has purchased forty new resin barrels and your name will be displayed on the barrel in show of your support for our 4-H program. If you prefer you may sponsor a barrel in memory of a loved one. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring a barrel, please contact Marta Bagley @ 574-606-8252 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Due to lack of funding, The Marshall County Housing Authority has been instructed to implement several cost saving strategies. Below are the changes to occur.
Effective immediately:
ŌĆó Issuing of vouchers has stopped until the first of 2013 or later.
ŌĆó Denial of moves to higher cost areas or units.
ŌĆó Lowering of the occupancy standard to 2 occupants per bedroom upon lease end.
ŌĆó Lowering of payment standard from 100% to 90% upon re-exams (this includes interims).
ŌĆó Non compliance will result in termination, not warnings.
ŌĆó Voucher holders resulting in a HAP balance of zero, will be terminated immediately.
Effective ASAP (in 45-day) contingent upon approval of waivers by HUD:
ŌĆó Lowering of payment standard to 80% immediately to all voucher holders.
ŌĆó Lowering Utility Allowance to be based upon Voucher size not unit size.
ŌĆó Increasing Minimum rent from $50 to $75.
All changes above are attempts to lower the Marshall County Housing Authority HAP cost for 2012, in order to avoid terminating assisted vouchers.
The Marshall County Housing Authority deeply regrets the hardships that this will impose on our low-income community. We hope that these changes will be ensuring assistance to those already assisted and that in the future to be able to assist more families.

Don S. Balka, Emeritus Mathematics Professor, Saint MaryŌĆÖs College, South Bend, Indiana, began his two-year term as the president of TODOS: Mathematics for ALL on April 25. The mission of TODOS is to advocate for an equitable and high quality mathematics education for all studentsŌĆöin particular, Hispanic/Latino studentsŌĆöby increasing the equity awareness of educators and their ability to foster studentsŌĆÖ proficiency in rigorous and coherent mathematics.
Balka has held leadership positions in TODOS, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and School Science and Mathematics Association (SSMA). While on the faculty of Saint MaryŌĆÖs College, he strived to dispel womenŌĆÖs beliefs that they could not succeed in mathematics. For three years, Balka was involved with training teachers of English Language Learners (ELL) in mathematics content and pedagogy in a program entitled Reach for the Numbers, a partnership between the Saint MaryŌĆÖs College Mathematics Department and the South Bend Community School Corporation. Earlier in his teaching career, he completed a post-doctorate masterŌĆÖs thesis involving Hispanic migrant students in northern Indiana.
He learned a great deal about equity and, as a NCTM Board member, served on the Equity Team that drafted the position statement on Equity and amassed the current equity portfolio. He also drafted the updated ELL position statement. He facilitated a meeting of the Coalition for Equity and Excellence in Mathematics Education (CEEME), a group of leaders with a significant stake in carrying out missions similar to that of TODOS.

Competitors awed by Sycamore Hills
Greg Jones | High school sports editor
FORT WAYNE ŌĆō There is definitely a lot of respect for Sycamore Hills Golf Club from those involved in SaturdayŌĆÖs Canterbury Invitational.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a difficult course,ŌĆØ CanterburyŌĆÖs Austin West said. ŌĆ£Jack Nicklaus designed it, and he made it that you have to put the ball in the right position on every hole. You have to be consistent from tee to green.ŌĆØ
Sycamore Hills is a nationally renowned golf course that will play host to the Junior PGA Championship for a third straight year in late July and early August. Sycamore Hills will also have the U.S. Girls Junior Championship again, and it played host to the 2009 WomenŌĆÖs State Team Championship.
WestŌĆÖs 73 was one stroke behind NorthWoodŌĆÖs Dylan GessingerŌĆÖs 72 for medalist honors, and the Cavaliers (328) finished third behind NorthridgeŌĆÖs 326.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great measurement for my game,ŌĆØ West said. ŌĆ£Shooting 73 on this course isnŌĆÖt bad when you didnŌĆÖt have your complete ŌĆśAŌĆÖ game for the entire 18 holes. But it teaches you that in order to play well on a course like this, you have to have your ŌĆśAŌĆÖ game for all 18 holes.ŌĆØ
NorthWood tied with Canterbury with a 328 but finished second on a tiebreaker. Twin Lakes was fourth with a 333, and Bloomington North was fifth at 334.
ŌĆ£This golf course is so hard that (the players) get excited and try to overpower it, and when you try to overpower this course it starts to eat away at you, and then big numbers turn into bigger numbers,ŌĆØ said Carroll coach Steve Vernasco, whose team finished sixth out of the nine teams with a 339.
ŌĆ£When you play on a golf course that is rated in the top 100, you just get excited. But itŌĆÖs a challenge, and you look at it like it is a learning experience.ŌĆØ
Vernasco said Sycamore Hills is a tough course to play, especially for high school golfers, but was set up fairly for the prep level. He said it is all about managing the nerves when the going gets tough for golfers.
ŌĆ£We preach how to manage your game,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We practice hitting irons off the tees in practice and play that way so when you play a course like this where the fairways are important to hit that they are used to hitting the clubs they need to hit.ŌĆØ
Stephen Shupert led the Chargers with an 83.
ŌĆ£This is a whole different course than any other course,ŌĆØ Shupert said. ŌĆ£You just have to be perfect in your iron game. You have to hit the right iron into the greens or you will have some crazy shots. It is a second-shot golf course.ŌĆØ

There probably aren't many Bremen residents who would remember him, but Robert M. Gorrell died on 12/25/11 at his home in Reno, NV, age 97. More information can be found at http://www.rgj.com/article/20111227/NEWS/111227037/Longtime-UNR-English-....
Recently I received a dismissal letter in the mail from the Ancilla Nursing program. I, just like the many other girls who also received this type of letter, was very upset but also irate. Not specifically due to the fact that we were dismissed but because of how we were dismissed and the monotonous manner in which the director of nursing took. The 2010 ASN pass rates for Ancilla were brought to my attention once the semester came to an end not only to prove a point but to open my eyes. This is a National Pass Rate flow sheet that shows Associate Degree Programs in the state of Indiana and standard deviation below the National Pass Rates. As evidence shows, Ancilla has been below this pass rate for the past few years but still justified raising their passing standard; pointing fingers at students instead of teachers.
I am writing this because I believe there is a lot to be looked into when it comes to this college and I hope that by getting the word out and possibly getting help, I can in return help others to not make the same mistake I, like multiple other students, did.
Former ACNS
Thanks for this informative information. I live over an hour away and have been trying to get more information about Ancilla /nursing program. I cant seem to find any good or bad which I thought was a bit odd. I wish more people would take the time to post on the www.allnurses.com website.
Ancilla is expensive and I would not qualify for any financial aid. Plus I would have to commute which is an extra expense. I would not mind paying the tuition, gas, and commuting if I knew I was getting into a quality program with quality instructors. Plus a great school that values the students.

Dear Sir;
A few weeks ago someone from the JGHS band told me my daughter's picture was in the Pilot, but I must have missed it. I have been looking online but cannot find it. Her name is Celena Sherwood and she is a senior, is in marching band, guard, and theater. I think it was on a Wednesday that the picture was published, and maybe on the front page. Can you help me find it?
Thank you,
Tina Hostetler

As the leaves start to reveal their brilliant colors; thoughts often turn to colder weather making the autumn and winter seasons a particularly busy time of year for Community Action.
As if ushered in by the cooler temperatures, Northwest Indiana Community ActionŌĆÖs (NWICA) telephones begin to ring announcing clients, neighbors and friends. They call for a variety of reasons: 2-1-1 Information and Assistance field calls for free Flu Shot vouchers, of which they distributed over 900 last year. Our Family Caregiver Support Program Specialists register hard working caregivers for a celebration and informational event in their honor. Our Long Term Care Options and Benefits Counselors help lead those eligible through the October-December 2011 Medicare Open Enrollment process.
There are also record numbers of calls for our Energy Assistance (EAP) and Weatherization Programs. Unfortunately, there are so many local families who do not have the ability to complete payments on their natural gas utility costs. There are more who live in homes that cannot withstand the cold due to lack of insulation or other mechanical gas appliance issues. If you live here, you know that northwest Indiana winters can quickly become brutally cold and dangerously snow-laden. These families face the realization that they will be cold this winter unless they obtain some household financial assistance so, they turn to us.
IndianaŌĆÖs Energy Assistance Program will open for applicants on November 1st, 2011. By this time last year, NWICAŌĆÖs Energy Assistance Program had helped almost 3,000 Northwest Indiana households and was on target to help over 22,500. This year, due to anticipated federal and state cuts, NWICA will not be able to assist nearly the same amount of our most vulnerable.
ŌĆ£Anticipated budget cuts for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and other vital community action programs are having an impact on those least able to handle it in all the communities we serve,ŌĆØ said Gary Olund, NWICA President/CEO. ŌĆ£We are actively seeking solutions to help ease the burden on elderly, low wage earners, the disabled and those with young children but the reality is that we will not be able to assist as we have at past yearsŌĆÖ levels.ŌĆØ
NIWCA operates several programs for the elderly, low or fixed income and disabled families in a six county service area. Please continue to call our 2-1-1 Information and Assistance Call Center for up-to- date information and referral services to find out how we can assist your family this season.

The Great Race will be postponed.
ELKHART, Ind. ŌĆö If you planned to participate in the 31st Annual Great Race Sports Festival on September 24 and 25, you now have a little more time to prepare.
Ronald E. Schmanske, president and CEO of The Great Race, announced earlier this week that road officials cannot guarantee that roadwork along the race courses will be completed by the planned race dates.
ŌĆ£As a result of this new information, weŌĆÖve decided our responsibility for the safety of the participants is too great a risk,ŌĆØ Schmanske said.
The new race date is now under discussion. Race officials will announce the new date upon confirmation. Comments or questions can be directed to Ron at The Great Race Inc., email address: email@example.com.
Meanwhile, fundraising for the pledge contest, which allows contestants to choose the local charity of their choice to pledge to, will continue. The pledge deadline will also be announced once the new date for the race is confirmed. No pledge money is used to cover The Great Race administrative or expense funds; 100 percent of all pledges raised go directly to The Great Race charity of each contestantŌĆÖs choice.
Past organizations that have benefitted from The Great Race Pledge Program are: Elkhart Parks, Junior Achievement, Goshen Boys & Girls Club, DaimonŌĆÖs Kids, Youth for Christ, Oaklawn and the YMCA.
About The Great Race Sports Festival:
The Great Race features three different race courses and a variety of events to challenge runners, walkers, cyclists and in-line skaters. There are also events for swimming, canoeing/kayaking, and team events for basketball and tug-of-war. The Great Race Inc. is a nonprofit organization that helps raise funds to support other Elkhart County nonprofit organizations. The Great Race Inc., office is located in the industrial park near County Road 17 and Middlebury Street at the intersection of Durrant and Green Streets in Elkhart.
RACE FOR CONGO is an 8 man cycling relay team that will be riding day and night August 1 - August 7 from Bend, Oregon to Baltimore, Maryland. They are riding to raise awareness of the conflict in Democratic Republic of Congo and to raise money for a World Relief peace initiative.
More than a decade of conflict in the Eastern DRC has uprooted millions of people, caused widespread disease and claimed over 5.4 million lives. Though blessed with land rich in mineral resources, 80% of Congolese live in extreme poverty conditions. In the middle of such instability and upheaval, World Relief is working with the church to respond to urgent needs. As one of the few remaining social infrastructures, the local church in DRC makes the most of limited resources to serve the vulnerable and stand as a beacon of hope and refuge.
Learn more at www.worldrelief.org/raceforcongo
Your local support of the riders on the evening of August 5th as they travel through towns such as Hamlet, Grovertown and Plymouth, Indiana will be greatly appreciated.
Experienced cyclists are welcome to join the ride with the understanding that they will be keeping an 18mph average and that riders will ride at their own risk!
Follow the route at: http://worldrelief.org/raceforcongo/route
Donations will go directly to fund the work of World Relief in Congo.

South Bend, Ind. ŌĆō Michiana-area residents and visitors looking for a reason to head outdoors and experience the city of South Bend in a fast-paced, energy-infused way unlike any other can do so by participating in the second annual Urban Adventure Games ŌĆō a race consisting of a unique cross between an athletic competition or race and a city-wide scavenger hunt will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2011. Registration for the 2011 Urban Adventure Games is now available online at www.urbanadventuregames.com.
Starting and ending at Coveleski Stadium, the second annual Urban Adventure Games race will lead participants through the city of South Bend from checkpoint to checkpoint, testing them both physically and mentally. Participants will do some biking, running, paddling, climbing and even flying throughout the city, while simultaneously finding hidden clues, answering trivia questions and completing tasks along the way. Participants will check in at various checkpoints located across the course to mark their progress.
ŌĆ£Some cities hold fun, walk-in-the-park type scavenger hunts. Other cities have rough and rugged athletic races or events. The Urban Adventure Games were created specifically as a way to merge both concepts into one event that could appeal to anyone wanting to experience South Bend in a fun, active way,ŌĆØ said Kelly Ball, event director for Urban Adventure Games. ŌĆ£Participants donŌĆÖt need to be super athletes to enjoy the activities, but will certainly enjoy some lively and creative events throughout the race that showcase all of the fun things to do in South Bend.ŌĆØ
Participants compete in the race in teams of two and should prepare to bring a bicycle, bicycle helmet, bike lock, athletic clothing, a cell phone for emergencies, a back pack, water and $15 cash for each team member to ensure race participants are prepared for a fun-filled, active day.
Race participants can make the day as challenging or as fun as they want with four new levels of competition this year. Those four divisions include:
Open Division
This original ŌĆ£fun-pacedŌĆØ race is at the heart of what Urban Adventure is all about. YouŌĆÖll have a blast as you traverse South Bend completing both silly and challenging checkpoints. Whether you compete for the victory, or just ride for the views, the Open Division is less about breaking records, and more about making amazing memories.
You should be in good physical shape, able to run 3 miles and bike 10 miles.
Elite Division
This fierce ŌĆ£fast-pacedŌĆØ race is for the thrill-seeking Urban Adventurers. YouŌĆÖll test your limits as you speed around South Bend and beyond participating in a variety of physical and mental checkpoints. Time, strategy, and willpower are crucial in the Elite Division. Will your team have what it takes to become the next UAG champions?
You should be in good physical shape, able to run 5 miles and bike 20 miles.
Family Division
This unforgettable ŌĆ£family-pacedŌĆØ race turns the average family into full-fledged Urban Adventurers. YouŌĆÖll break a sweat and bond together as you experience South Bend in a whole new way. The Family Division encourages an adult to team up with their teen (13-17). As you bike the course and conquer the checkpoints, this race is sure to bring you closer together!
You should be in good physical shape, able to run 2 miles and bike 5 miles.
Junior Division
This awesome ŌĆ£friendly-pacedŌĆØ race allows young Urban Adventurers to race and keep pace with their friends. If youŌĆÖre age 13-17, feel the need for speed, and are willing to tackle some crazy tasks, then cap off your summer vacation with a bang. Sign up for the Junior Division - It was made especially for you.
You should be in good physical shape, able to run 2 miles and bike 5 miles.
The Urban Adventure Games are fast becoming a summer tradition in the South Bend area with hundreds of teams competing each of the last two years and participants offering feedback ranging from ŌĆ£a fun-filled dayŌĆØ to ŌĆ£the best thing that South Bend has ever done.ŌĆØ The third annual Urban Adventure Games is on pace to surpass last yearŌĆÖs registration numbers, expected to have more than double the participants in this yearŌĆÖs event.
About Urban Adventure Games
Created in 2009, the Urban Adventure Games were conceived and organized by a team of community organizers, business owners and outdoor enthusiasts by pooling their talents and resources to put together an adventure race like no other in the region. The Urban Adventure Games were designed to help residents and visitors experience more of the city of South Bend in one day than they may experience in an entire summer, calling upon race participants to take part in a day of fun that will challenge their body and their mind. Since its conception, the Urban Adventure Race has grown into the Urban Adventure Games, which includes the race consisting of a unique cross between an athletic competition or race and a city-wide scavenger hunt.

Respect for life and a heart of compassion are the driving forces behind the announcement of Les TrumpŌĆÖs intent to run for Marshall County Coroner in 2012.
Les has been a resident of Marshall County since his birth on September 10, 1956 in Plymouth, Indiana to Roy D & Nina M Trump. He graduated from LaVille High School in 1974 and began working for Bremen Bearings as a grinder and later as a Union Steward. He was a Volunteer Fireman for the Lake of the Woods Fire Department and in 1977 he became a certified EMT through IVY Tech.
In 1978 he began working for Mishler Ambulance Service and Funeral Home in Bremen where he was an EMT, assisted with funerals and drove for their Medical Transport Service. He became a certified CPR Instructor for both the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross. He was certified in IV/Defibrillation in 1984 and in 1987 taught 2 First ResponderŌĆÖs classes. In 1994 Gregory Mishler awarded him with a plaque for 20 years of service as an Emergency Medical Technician.
In 1995 he moved to Plymouth and learned advanced skills through a Paramedic Class. In 1997 he became a part-time volunteer for Plymouth EMS, a part-time employee for VanGilder Funeral Home and started his current full-time position with the Marshall County SheriffŌĆÖs Department as a Turnkey/Dispatcher and is certified as an Emergency Medical Dispatcher for their 911 center.
In 2001 he became Chief Deputy Corner to Coroner John Grolich and at that time became the first person in Marshall County to become a Certified Medicolegal Death Investigator. He is currently a Deputy Coroner after serving 7 years as Chief Deputy Coroner. He remains certified through attending Coroner Conferences yearly with the Indiana State CoronerŌĆÖs Association Training Board.
Les served on the Marshall County Emergency Management Advisory Board during the years of 2001-2006, is an associate member of the Marshall County FOP since 2001, and an Associate Member of the SheriffŌĆÖs Association since 2007. He also works part-time as a dispatcher for the Plymouth Police Department joining them in 2008.
Les is a member of the Nappanee Missionary Church in Nappanee where he is involved as part of their Worship Choir. By attending a 13 week course on Grief Sharing offered by the church he has found new insight not only on how to deal with the grief of losing his Father in 2009 but also how to encourage and support others as they grieve.
He is married to Jackie (Abair) and will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year in July. They have 3 daughters, and one granddaughter.
As Marshall County Coroner Les would not only investigate death but care for the families of the deceased with compassion, understanding, sincerity and trust.

For long-time fans of Walt Disney World, it's been a hard fifteen years or so. Many of the special things that made the resort so unique have disappeared, replaced during wave after wave of expansion and homogenization. Amongst those lost treasures were the Treehouse Villas, originally built in 1975 as part of Disney's plans to build a community at Lake Buena Vista.
Lake Buena Vista was originally intended as a recreational and residential development, built to test many of the concepts that Walt had proposed for EPCOT city. While Walt Disney Productions still planned to build EPCOT, Lake Buena Vista was intended to serve as an opportunity for the company to dip their toes in the pond of residential development; its eventual goal was to combine recreational development with residences for retired cast members. EPCOT city was where the Disney cast would live while working for the company, and Lake Buena Vista was where they would retire.
As plans for EPCOT were abandoned, so were Lake Buena Vista's residential aspirations. Without year-round residents, Disney wouldn't have to provide services like schools or share voting control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Lake Buena Vista then began to be planned as a purely recreational community; a series of areas focused on different leisure activities were planned to extend northward from the current location of the Downtown Disney Marketplace. In addition to the townhouse-like villas, Disney also planned to build apartments, condos and single-family homes. It was still intended that many of these units would be private seasonal residences – descriptions from the time sound like early versions of the timeshare concept.
Of all these plans, only the Villas were eventually built. Various types of Villas debuted throughout the 1970s and, while originally targeted at corporate clients and businesses for corporate retreats, they eventually began to be marketed to the average guest. They became the Village Resort in the 1980s, and were later converted to the Villas at the Disney Institute in the 1990s. When Eisner's Institute concept failed in 2002, the Villas were slowly demolished to make way for the opening of Saratoga Springs – another Vacation Club property – in 2004.
Yet throughout all this, the Treehouses survived. They were "temporarily" closed in the post-2001 tourism slump, but it became one of those mystery closures like the Magic Kingdom's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction when something goes down for a "temporary" rehab and never reappears. In the following years, they were used as housing for Disney's international College Program cast members before several of the Villas were damaged by hurricanes in 2004. Faced with the cost of actually refurbishing the buildings, Disney chose to abandon them.
If left to their own devices, I suspect that Disney would have bulldozed the Treehouses in 2004 to make way for more bland and generic Saratoga Springs buildings. The Villas had long been seen as inefficient – single units spaced out in the woods took a lot of time to clean and maintain on a daily basis. But due to an amazingly fortunate 1985 wetlands preservation law, they couldn't touch the area. The Treehouses are built within the 100-year flood plain, and are on protected wetlands. Disney, no matter how much they might have wanted to, could not have cleared the woods to build more massive DVC units. Instead, they were faced with two options: abandon the area, or rebuild the Treehouses.
Even this was not a simple choice. The Villas needed rehabbing, but Disney was limited in their refurbishment options. The Treehouses, if built today, would be in violation of two important building codes – the previously mentioned wetlands protection codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Since the Treehouses had been built in 1975, they were allowed to continue to operate under a grandfather clause in both cases. But if Disney were to substantially rebuild them, or build something new on the site, the new construction would have to fall in line with modern regulations. Considering all the hassle that would be required just to restore an area that, while pleasing long-time fans, would probably be less profitable than the average DVC site, most of us thought we'd never see the beloved Treehouses again.
Then, at the end of 2007 and in early 2008, permits began to be filed for the reconstruction of the Treehouse Villas. As the initial nebulous reports became more clear, it came to light that Disney would not be re-opening the original Treehouses, but instead would demolish and replace them with redesigned units. Soon there were schematics and renderings and it started to sink in – the Treehouses were coming back. All of it became official when the project was announced in September of 2008.
It was a very, very happy day.
The new Treehouses very closely resemble the originals, with one important difference. In order to comply with wetlands regulations, the designers greatly reduced the square footage of the Villas' ground floor. The original Treehouses featured three bedrooms, two of which were on the second floor while one room – set at the bottom of a spiral staircase – remained on the ground. The new design enlarges the second story of the Treehouses, allowing space for all three rooms, while removing the ground floor entirely. This reduces the footprint of each unit from 340 square feet to 84 square feet, effectively increasing the area of the surrounding wetlands.
Sixty new Treehouses have been built to replace the original units. In order to preserve the character of the area, the new units were built in modular segments in Wingate, PA, and lifted into position on-site over the surrounding trees by a large crane. The existing area's pool and clubhouse will also be refurbished to their original specs, and a new dock has been built on the Sassagoula to provide boat service to Downtown Disney. The Treehouses will officially be a part of Saratoga Springs, and will share that resort's check-in and recreational facilities.
The floor plan of the new villas retains the three bedrooms and two bathrooms of the original. In the above diagram, the layout is as follows:
- Master Bedroom (Green) – With queen bed
- Master Bathroom (Yellow)
- Second Bedroom (Dark Blue) – With queen bed
- Third Bedroom (Light Blue) – The press release claims this bedroom will contain a bunk bed, unfortunately
- Second Bathroom (Orange) – Opens to main room
- Kitchen (Red) – Open to main room, features granite countertops and bar seating
- Laundry Facilities (Purple)
The main room, which is the large white area in the diagram, features a six-person dining room table and a television area with a queen-size sleeper sofa and single-person sleeper chair. All said, each Treehouse will sleep nine guests. The kitchen is fully-featured, and the main room and all three bedrooms feature flat-screen televisions.
I took a special trip down the Sassagoula in March to check on the progress of the Treehouses. Sure enough, they look like they're well on track to open this summer as announced. Many units look completely finished – Disney had left the lights on (and curtains open) inside many of the units at night, so one could clearly see from the river that the interiors of several Treehouses had been fully furnished. Some units were obviously still under construction, but it looked like there was only minor finishing work, painting and furnishing left to do.
It's great to see the Treehouses back along the Sassagoula, and Disney gets quite a bit of credit for sticking to the original octagonal design and overall aesthetic of the area. Whatever the reason for their revival, it's just good to have the Treehouses there – and for something to go right for fans of classic Walt Disney World. There doesn't appear to be a single down side to this one – good job, Team Disney.

I love this product. I had been purchasing it from a local store and your price is much better and with UPS delivering I do not have to carry it up to my 3rd floor apt myself. I dilute the Brown Rice Syrup by half so that it is pourable. I pour 1/2 into another jar...then fill each with water...put them into the microwave and heat for 2 1/2 minutes. Take them out and stir, cool down and refrigerate . I use it in Coffee (1/2 coffee and 1/2 Choc Rice Milk and about 1/2 inch of the syrup in the bottom of the cup) A Great Latte, and great on cereal too. I cannot have sugar and this is so much appreciated.
Perfect for Soy Milk

After 12 years as a vegan, I've finally started making my own soy milk. My goal has been to come up with a recipe that tastes as much as possible like Soy Dream Original, my favorite commercial soy milk. Lundberg's Brown Rice Syrup has been a huge help: it tastes great, the price is right (it takes about two and a half tablespoons of Lundberg's for two quarts of soy milk), and it enables me to have a healthy, natural soy milk for my cereal each morning.
Substitute for usual sugars, especially any containing fructose

I find this to be an excellent product, and it produces excellent baking results as well. Maltose raises blood glucose much, much more slowly than does any other sweetener. But then, everything I have ever bought from iHerb has been excellent. Thank you.
We love it!

I bought this product to use as a healthy alternative sweetener in baked goods. So far, everything I've made has been wonderful! It has a nice buttery type flavor that really tastes great. I can not believe I have never had this before. I am going through it fairly fast, I just wish they made it in larger amounts :)The texture is smooth after baking, moist, and it has definitely helped me feel full. I will be ordering more!

Movement 3: Gavotte

Movement 5: Gigue
The ebb and flow of harmonic tension in the sombre Adagio from the violin sonata in F minor is realized by means of a scrupulously plotted dynamic graph that would be frowned upon today, yet it captures the inexorable unity of the piece to perfection. The inherently subjective nature of our cherished musicological objectivity surfaces in the Andante from the A minor solo violin sonata. Siloti clearly believes that he has treated Bach's text with irreproachable fidelity and even adds an apologetic note for transposing a couple of bars down an octave. Yet from the moment we hear the sumptuously voiced chords cushioning Bach's sublime melody we know that we are in the hands of a master romantic pianist. In the original Bach-Gesellschaft edition there was a (rather weak) keyboard transcription of the whole sonata, but later research has pronounced it spurious. The notion that it may be the work of one of Bach's sons adds a little spice to the speculation. The same Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was the lucky recipient of the little Prelude in B minor which was brought to a wider public in the recording age through Emil Gilels' unforgettable rendering. The tradition which brings into prominence the hidden left-hand melody in the repeat comes, according to Siloti's daughter Kyrenia, from the master himself! The Siciliano from the flute sonata in E flat major has been the object of several piano transcriptions (Alkan, Kempff, Friedman and others) as well as suffering the indignity of issuing as muzak from countless elevators and hotel lobbies. Siloti's, without attempting anything extraordinary, is in my opinion simply the best. In the famous Air from the third orchestral suite, he is again scrupulously respectful to Bach's text, but his imaginative use of the pedal and the extraordinarily expressive fingerings are of a different epoch.

I have to admit, the only time I ever think about seeds is when I eat watermelon. I hate swallowing those seeds, although they're smooth and cold. Since I was a child, I always thought that out of a single, tasty seed, a watermelon tree (yes, I imagined that watermelons grew on trees) would sprout in my stomach and then proceed to grow out of my ears, eyes and nose. I did have a wild imagination, fired up by my younger cousin, who is today both a spectacular cartoonist and a terrifying psychoanalyst.
What I am trying to say in this painfully digressive and round-about way, is that I was ignorant of the power and plight of seed until I learned of Navdanya and Vandana Shiva. That I, a city girl who has however spent many-a-summer vacation running around the rocky Dalmatian countryside, tending to goats, picking grapes, and digging potatoes with my invincible grandmother, rarely ever stop and consider the plight of farmers who are feeding us. Because, food does come from somewhere other than the supermarket.
I want to eat the native Croatian tomatoes whose incredible sour-sweet flavor I had taken for granted as a child. I can't find those tomatoes any longer. They all taste like red-colored water these days. I don't want my food to taste like different-colored water. I want it to have nutritional value, I want it to taste good and I want it to remind me of the past, of my heritage, of my grandma. Because there is respect and future in heritage, traditions and native food.
