Golf lovers across Michiana waited out the long winter to get back on the course.
This weekend was the perfect occasion to bring out the golf clubs for the first time this season.
Local golf courses have been opening up slowly over the last month. While some brave souls dared battle the elements to get a quick 18 in during the colder days, Sunday's beautiful weather with little wind signified the beginning of golf season.
A little holiday did not stop many from getting out on the links.
Tommy Walker, Erskine Park Attendant, says, "The weather helped it for this afternoon after everyone got done with their dinners. This afternoon was pretty busy actually."
It was something of an Easter miracle. Mid 70-degree temperatures made for prime golf weather, bringing local golfers out in droves.
Brian Matthews, Elbel Park Assistant Professional, says, "We just opened up a few weeks ago, now that it's getting nicer we're actually getting a lot more people because people got the cabin fever. Cooped up all winter."

What is it about food that you love? Does your love of food effect your weight?
Clearly we all love food here. I have struggled with my weight since puberty. I'm not grotesque,but have always had an extra 20 pounds or so. I've been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds for about 10 years now!
Whenever I watch those tv shows about weight loss, the people almost always say they have an emotional attachment to food. Food comforts them, etc.
For me, it's not emotional, not because I didn't get enough hugs as a child or anything like that. I just love food. I love to learn about other cultures, and to me the best way to do that is through food. I love to travel and eat, to the extent that I've been known to make spreadsheets of various places to stop when I am travelling to different places.
I also feel like food is a very important part of my pride in my heritage. As my username suggests, I am of Italian descent. I love to show off my heritage by cooking Italian delicacies--both Italian-American and ITALIAN Italian food. It's exciting to introduce my partner--who is of Eastern European background--to the wonderful foods that make up who I am.
To me, it's just interesting. And fun. And challenging. I love to cook and seek out wonderful ingrediants. To me it's a hobby, like knitting or playing golf.
Unfortunately, it effects my weight. I'm a good cook and I love good food, and tend to overindulge. At least it's good food, and not twinkies! :-)
Anyone else struggle with the love of food/fat ass thing?
Count me in. I do love to eat (and have a healthier than usual appetite) and I love to cook (baking, especially). I lost 80 pounds in my late teens, and I've gained and lost 20 pounds 100 times in the past 30 years. While I've been a size 10 now for about 5 years, it's a constant struggle between my food love and my jeans love.
Yes. Eating with two different friends, yesterday and today, I said to them both, "I just love food," and got very animated agreement. I would say I have 20 or 30 pounds to lose, and plan never to quit trying to lose it. But it has occurred to me lately (since I have begun looking at Chowhound??) that substituting quality for quantity might be a way to go. I have eaten a lot of bad food in my time, sorry to say. But lately I have had the very nice experience of going through the grocery store and saying to myself, "No, not that, not that, not good enough." And last night, looking for a snack, I found that everything I had in my kitchen was more suited to a (good) meal than a snack. So, no snack. I think there's hope
I love everything about food.
Food (and classical music) is universal. It's a great discussion point that brings out the good in people. Being social means being exposed to tons of food. As the saying goes, food is love.
As for more personal reasons:
Food/Cooking is a creative outlet, a chance in the day to create something good to be enjoyed. It's a chance to think and often appreciate (the effort/work of others). Emotionally, I fully embrace food and its biological link, and while I don't use it as a crutch, I certainly let it affect my mood. For example, Saturday's lunch was a 5 course mix that (was supposed to) came to an end with a creme brulee. The dessert was a bit off. I wasn't going to let it end that way and ordered a couple of more desserts (The first, a cheesecake, was good and I thought I'd order the second just for the heck of it - An apple tart, which was really a crepe, that was delightful). I was pleased.
As for the weight aspect, well, the lunch described probably came in at around 4k calories. Not a big deal when I was active for 4-5 hours that day (although, my ankles did suffer a bit). Food is one my two big motivators for exercise. Instead of guilt, it's motivation/fuel!
Italia, I know what you're talking about. For me, cooking is both my way of doing "art" and showing love to my family--I want to feed them nutritious, delicious dishes. And as someone whose paternal side is Italian (Napolitano), food accompanies all life's major events, from weddings to funerals to Sunday dinner.
But I am much more sedentary than my aunties ever were. They were 4'11" and could cook (and out eat) me under a table, but they walked to work and to the grocery store, unlike my five-hour-a-day roundtrip commute. The high stress American lifestyle forces us to be more conscious of what we eat, and how we "burn it off".
I also agree with you, btw, as food being sort of a Rosetta stone to a nation's culture. Neat post.
I have had huge weight issues in the past and lost a lot of weight about 5 years ago because I didn't want to sit on the sidelines of my daughter's life due to overweight.
Since then I have shifted my love of food to cooking and feeding others. It has become a hobby of sorts and a creative outlet for me. Tasting as I cook seems to satisfy me to the point that I don't feel like eating a lot when the meal is prepared, and I get the enjoyment of the process.
Now that I have been operating this way for several years, I have developed the opposite problem and find it hard to keep weight on. Sigh. I never, ever thought this would be an issue.
I have a co-worker who likes to eat with me due to my enthusiastic manner of eating. For me, food is pleasure. She says that she has never known anyone who enjoys food as much as I do.
I offset most of my calories with exercise but I choose enjoying food over being svelte more often than not. :)
I would have said no just a year or two ago. My job required me to move quickly, and often without a break, and my metabolism was hungrier than I was. I could burn calories just by *looking* at cheese. But then the restaurant closed, and the boyfriend urged me to take some time off. To concentrate on my writing. Which I do sitting down. *And* we moved to a place that is sufficiently far enough from the shops that it made more sense, once winter set in, to wait until the BF could drive me there.
The reality of not being in my twenties anymore has sunk in, as the year that I've spent at my desk at home shows itself unpleasantly when I step on the scale (or zip my jeans). I gained twelve pounds in one year. I altered my diet, and was not very successful. I began feeling a little deprived, and was seeing no improvement. And I live with someone who has (still) a good metabolism, a love of food. It was too difficult making his and hers meals.
I've lost two pounds over the past three weeks, and only because I realized that my love of food itself isn't something I want to modify, and so what I changed had nothing to do with food. My lifestyle used to keep pace with my cooking, and lately I have been making a pretty good effort to get back to that place. But there is a part of me that resents it, the effort ot be what I always just *was*. I can take the little furrows and lines that are cropping up with a shrug, but I would LOVE to be able to eat like I was twenty-five again.
re: onceadaylily
Oh, Lily, wait till you're over 50 and the menopause thing. Oh well, I have almond tarts cooling!
re: pine time
Oh pine time, isn't it the worst. I was very thin as a child and became normal weight in my late 20s. The pounds came on a few at a time and now I am at 'the very top of what they call "normal" weight for my height and I say thank God I'm almost 6'. I love to cook, I love the taste of good food, and I love eating and drinking with my husband and with friends. I do not diet, but I do try and save most of my calories for dinner. I also walk a lot to run errands and such around town and that helps, but I prefer enjoying myself to dieting and heavy exercising. I'm 60 with good blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar so I must be doing something right.
re: escondido123
I do the same thing with the calorie expenditure. My early meals are always lighter. It always feels better to me to have the good, but fattier, stuff closer to the end of the day. It's like a small celebration of a day lived.
re: pine time
Heh. My mom is a full head shorter than I am, and always had beautiful curves. Two years ago, she, at the age of fifty-six, took up running again after a long absence. Her inspiration was her pair of golden retrievers. She said, "If those two chubby blondes can run and like it, so can I."
I was an enthusiastic eater from the first, and a good meal was always the high point - maybe several of them - of any given day. Although we were quite poor, our extended family overran with good cooks of the various Midwestern traditions, from the Kentucky-accented food from my dad's side to the German-farmhouse bounty of my Grandpa Kuntz's family (and Grandpa himself). One day of bliss I'll never forget was a joint reunion of the Kuntz and Huffman families, two Mennonite tribes that had intermarried many times over the years, held at a big rolling meadow of a park in Hoopeston, IL. I was nine or ten, and turned loose to roam as I wanted, since everyone of these hundreds of people was a relative. At each table a new family would ask my name and perhaps one or two more questions, and then they'd say, "Oh, you're Betty May's boy, Walt's grandson. Have some pie, some fried chicken, some potato salad …"
The wonderful but ultimately dangerous part of this was that I could not put on weight worth a damn. All the way up to my thirties I could eat like a horse and never get over 155 or so. And then one day, at 33, I was running down some stairs, and I felt my chest bounce …
So yeah, I got issues. I've topped out just under 230, and then as I approached seventy it occurred to me that I've known a lot of ninety-year-old men, but never any fat ones. With diet alone, and maybe a bit of extra walking and stair-climbing, I've inched down towards 210, shooting for getting and staying under 200 within the year. Lots of fish and salads, cut way back on my beloved potatoes and pasta, flourless sprouted wheat bread toast with one small smear of butter* every other morning. None of which means food is losing any importance for me, nor that there's no room for well-planned indulgence. That noodle casserole I made the other night was regular noodles and braised chicken thighs, but the mushrooms were sautéed in olive oil and the sauce was broth, a dash of dry sherry and Greek yogurt, not créme fraiche. Our guest said, "This is so good, but it seems really light!" And that's where the fun is in this chapter.
*We've tried all the kinda-almost-darn-near butter-like substances, and I agree with Julia Child: there's no point in suffering that. Just get the best butter you can find or afford and don't eat much of it. Except for the occasional holiday feast, a pound will last us almost two months.
Once I realized that the first four or five bites of anything are the best, I've stopped there. Went out to dinner tonight and ordered a lamb shank. It was fantastic, but most of it now resides in my fridge, and I will repurpose it tomorrow.
Definitely an issue recently. I was fine while I was working as my job is so physical, but since I injured my knee last August I haven't been working and unable to mobilise. Consequently I've piled on the kilos and am very unhappy about it. I'm quite tall so I've kind of padded myself all over, but it still feels distinctly unfair.
But on the bright side I think a love of food can actually help when it comes to weight loss as it inspires creativity and there are loads of fantastic, big flavours that can be achieved in a healthy meal. I usually start looking towards Vietnamese food as it doesn't feel like diet food and tastes fantastic. But my problem comes down to the fact that I am greedy and want to eat everything.
For me, my love of food came about as part of my love of travel. You had to eat the same as the locals to get the whole experience. There were foods that I could not get out of my head, and then I began to cook so I could recreate them. Just being an eater has always come naturally, and cooking is something I love to share with my friends.
Weight has never been an issue for me, but I know that I'm extremely lucky with that one. I run 5 times a week, I have since I was 10 years old. Genes have a lot to do with it I'm sure. I may be a little forgetful, or have terrible vision, and a whole lot of other strange inherited traits--but I'm forever thankful for good metabolism.
i always remind myself that food keeps its appeal when eaten in moderation. i try to eat enough to fill me for the meal, and either save the rest for later or realize i will almost certainly have the opportunity to try the dish again. hours later, the memory of the flavor of the dish remains the same whether i had a few bites, a dinner portion, or have over-indulged. in fact, i find myself really turned off from an ingredient or a dish when i have had too much of it.
at a restaurant with large portions, my boyfriend and i often order 1-2 appetizers and 1 entree to split, so we can each try 3 new things, but not have too much food that we feel sick.
re: jamieeats
italia84, I loved your post and jamieeats I see alot of myself in your points.
My love of food could affect my weight/overall well being if I didn't move and eat small portions. Some of the ways I counter the over indulgence is to share. Dh and I if we dine out share two orders rather than order 4 (say app & entree). With friends, we food shop together and split deals so we benefit on the price but don't overbuy. And, I am truly satisfied with 4-6 forkfuls of just about anything. I work out, participate in recreational activities daily but always have for the sheer pleasure of it. I'm definately a fan of small portions, small plates. I follow the "no larger than my fist" on dinner portions. I rarely eat after 7pm. But for me it's more of a personal checklist in my head. I don't get too overboard discussing it with people, it's more of a personal goal and mental note I make to myself to keep an eye on portions.

Hello everyone and congrats to you all. I am a military wife with 2kids that my husband loves as his own. He really wanted his own baby but, I had my tubes tied after my divorce from kids father not wanting to go threw that again. In may we had a tubal reversal surgery ended up with 3.0cm tubes on eachside (really short) but, we got our first BFP in July which ended in a chemical pregnancy and we were heartbroken. Again I found myself feeling like I let my husband down. With alot of prayers and faith I got choosen for a IVF trial mini IVF and i had my transfer of 1 embryo last tuesday and we were so lucky to have success so far our first beta 7 days after transfer was 75 then our next beta was 276 so things are looking in the right direction I am due July 28,2013 . I told my hubby that after all his tours between Iraq and Afganisthan (5 of them) that he really deserves this. Thats all about me hoping someone else is due July 28th I was on Iviallge expecting boards with both other children it was great. I wish everyone a happy and healthy 9months
|Sun, 11-25-2012 - 10:40am
Hello! At this point I am more of a lurker than a poster. I am still nervous.... anyway we have some things in common so I thought I would say Hi. :)
I also had a tubal reversal. Mine was in January of 10. I had a chemical that August and then nothing for 15 months......We found out my right tube was completey blocked. Anyway, we had pretty much given up an hope of getting pregnant and then whammo! I found out I was pregnant last week. :)
Although I didn't have to go down the IVF route it's nice to have someone who has gone through some similar stuff. :)
Good luck!
|Sun, 11-25-2012 - 10:40pm
Congratulations!!! I am also pregnant after IVF (this time around a FET) so I know how long that road can be. Do you have an early ultrasound coming up? Mine is this Thursday *bites nails* WIshing you the very best =)
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 7:59am
Hi there,
Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to the July 2013 Expecting Club! I hope that you find friendship and support here during your pregnancy journey. Wishing you a very happy and healthy nine months!
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 1:17pm
I do have a early ultrasound next week my next HCG id tomorrow which is 4 days from my last which was 276 so they are waiting til it reaches 2500 this HCG should be 1100ish so next week for me.... Oh good luck I cant wait to have mine and am scared as well..... Please let me know how things went GOOD LUCK
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 1:23pm
Jean, I am so sorry to hear about your chemical as well I know how horrible that hope can be. BUT I am happy to hear that you got pregnant from the reversal so weird we do have alot in common my right tube is closed as well they said but that was the side I ovulated from and got pregnant with when I had my chemical. We did chose to do the IVF because, it was for a clinical trial that we only had to pay for the meds, sedation for egg retrieval (only if you had over 8) which i had 14 from a mini IVF which was rare and we pay to keep the rest of our embryos frozen I cannot throw them away its just not in my nature. I really pray that this pregnancy is your sticky bean please, keep me updated. Wish you a happy and healthy nine months.....

Marketers now hold agencies and designers accountable for their creative ideas, and as a result, success is measured in conversions and marketing ROI. The creative who understands the business of design is king (or queen). In this workshop, Douglas Davis will teach you how to integrate business considerations into your creative strategies. Learn how you can play a role in the conversations that usually happen before and after a brief is dropped on your desk. If you know how to participate in that dialogue, your work will be more closely aligned with the needs of the client and their business.
In this workshop you'll learn:

Republican Congressperson Saves Man's Life in Airport
Rep. Phil Roe from Tennessee is a genuine not-being-sarcastic-or-kidding-around-here honest-to-god hero…
Roe rushed to an unidentified man's aid in the Charlotte airport Tuesday morning, performed CPR, and used the emergency medical technicians' equipment in order to shock the man's heart, according to Roe's office.
Roe was able to restart the man's heart.
"I bet the guy wasn't down probably 30 seconds before Phil was taking care of him. They gave him CPR for like 5 or 6 minutes. They pumped his chest pretty good. It was work, it was pretty intimidating to watch," Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), Roe's traveling companion, told The Daily Caller.
Rep. Roe — a retired OB/GYN and former member of the U.S. Army Medical Corps – might have saved that guy's life, but I hope he knows that unless he sends that guy a bill for services rendered, he's killing the country. I don't wanna see a bunch of freeloaders taking their heart problems down to the local airport and waiting for passing legislators to give them emergency defibrillation hand-outs.
This is America, not Britainia or some place. No free rides!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
i go to hall and i love it im in the 6th grade some this is my final year at hall this is also halls last year. the only thing i have to say is that some teachers do not care about me. out of the seven years at hall it was a pretty good school.
My children went to Hall for 2 years.We are changing schools this year.The majority of the teachers (not all) are very fast to complain the children aren't doing "good enough" but hasn't the time to help the child.Bullying is completely ignored with no punishment or reprimand what so ever!When a child is found to have head lice they are not sent home they are allowed back in class with a phone call to the parents after school. My children were excelling at their previous school, at Hall their grades,reading levels and all dropped!
It is my children first year at Hall and they love it! We have a good communication system and is being well informed on how they do in school. Willing to work with us at request...very impressed with Hall!
Its a great school that loves childern and gives them good knowledge and really cares about them.
I think my Hall school is awesome because it's like one big happy family and they truly care for the well being of every child that goes there!
This school offers no help for a child who wants to learn but struggles to understand. Very poor communication on the part of the teachers.
My daughter is just starting Kindergarten at Hall so it is too early to rate them overall. But I did have an issue with how my daughter was adapting and with the behavior of other children and the counselor and her teacher were very quick to respond to my concerns. I felt they cared and wanted to improve the situation quickly.
Poor communication with one another and parents, slow response to individual student assessments, stereotypes rampant, with cliche political drama from staff.

Now Playing – Fabolous "Throwback"
Throwback this, Throwback that
It aint where you from; it's where you wear ya throwback at
I rock the Reds Pete Rose when I'm in the 'Nati
And 4X, You can't see the semi-automati
When I'm in the Chi'; you think they aint that shocked
To see the kid roll through in the St. Pats socks
So pull out the Chicago and the script to wear on Soul Train
The Bulls, when Mike had hair and a gold chain
It's funny the things you'll see while getting Starbucks in Chicago.
Shoutout to the good brother and friend of ETSF, Mr. Jeremy K. Smith. As I was craving a Grande Soy Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks, the man had the werewithal to scout out a dope spot called Rad Vintage, on the Northside of Chicago.
The place claims to have the largest selection of Starter jackets (almost every team in stock) at their location, and the homie Jeremy tried to put on for his Cincinnati heritage by trying on Bengals cardigans and Starter jackets that didn't fit at all.
As for me? Well, I put on for "The U" with the 1960's Miami Hurricanes beanie. Copped it for a cool $20 and will be rocking it while the winter months set in.
The five coolest things I saw in the store:
1. The 1992 Dream Team Starter Jacket
2. The Hulk Hogan WWF Playing Cards
3. The Grambling State Tigers Gucci-esque Starter Hat
4. Seeing roughly 238 different versions of the Mike Ditka popularized Chicago Bears sweaters.
5. Finding a Vancouver Grizzlies inaugural draft jersey and thinking it was Bryant Reeves.
Check the pictures and make this a must-see stop when you're in the Chi. Go online to radvintage.com and tell 'em Ed sent you. You might get a discount.

CONCORD, N.C. – For the third consecutive year Carl Edwards will be a guest commentator on SportsCenter following nine of the 10 NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase races in 2012. Edwards will join Rusty Wallace and Ray Evernham from the ESPN Pit Studio for live post-race analysis on ESPN's flagship news and information program.
"For the last couple of years I've really enjoyed going up to the pit studio after the races during the Chase and being able to let the viewers in on what was going on inside the race car in the race that just happened," Edwards said. "It's a lot of fun to go up there and be able to see a recap of the race instantly. It's really educational for me as a driver to see it right away; although, I hope to miss a few because I'm in victory lane instead."
SportsCenter airs on ESPN immediately following each Chase race that airs on ESPN (excluding Charlotte which airs on ABC).

2011 Games Preview
Despite continuing 2009's sales dip, 2010 was still a great year for videogames. While the trend showed gaming wasn't impervious to global recession, the sales figures also proved it is firmly established as the world's leading entertainment medium. So how to improve upon a year that saw Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mass Effect 2 and …
re: I take it...
FPS and some flight sims. Hate WOW and MMORPGs.
Even so, I used to buy PC games on impulse - just walk into an HMV, look at the pictures, buy a bunch of games, most of them I would never probably even install later on...
Now - I can't buy anything without having to research first what kind of DRM is on it, and if there is an online activation and similar restrictions I will not touch it. So, the loss to the industry is ... great, as I used to buy a lot of games and am now buying bugger all.
"...are vastly superior on a pad"
Pfft. NOTHING is superior on a pad. Those crappy controllers are one of the primary reasons I will not buy a console at all. The other main reason, of course, being console gamers themselves.
...requires and has always required only ONE unique username to play 'offline'. No accounts, no passwords. Save at safehouses, same as GTA San Andreas. I've had this grossly under-rated game since release, and have played it this way since the install. Same went for the EFLC titles.
I can't believe there are so many numpties out there that can't/won't read installation instructions. They sure can write an amazon review, though!
i take it you use a mouse and keys to play football games etc?
get off your high horse before you fall off
re: citazen caned
like me he probably uses a game pad to play some pc games, you can get them quite cheaply. I even used to play flight sims using a force feedback joystick, proper force feedback too, not just a bit of a rumble. On occasion, i have also been known to plug the cheapy wired 360pad i have, specifically bought a wired second controller because i could do this, into my pc.
You can use any control method you like on a pc, i could even use a pen on a graphics tablet! But keyboard and mouse is used primarily because, a) you have it by default and b) it's a bloody good setup for a large chunk of games.
@Citizen Kaned:
Mouse and keys for most games; joystick for flight sims and racing games; shitty, imprecise, RSI-inducing gamepad for NOTHING.
And I think I'd sooner play Hello Kitty Online than stoop to football games or any "sports games."
Kinect Forza 4
Even more irritating to use than Mario Kart Wii with the WiiWheel then.
I'll stick to the Mad Cats wheel.
no mention of dust 514 which is meant to be out this year. the same year that incarna is meant to be added to eve:online
Here's a novel idea...
... how about someone release a game that's FUN, rather than all this pretty-looking, got-to-have-two-weeks-free-to-play, murder-simulating twitchware that seems to be hogging everything up these days?
Fail. Because this is what the vast majority of games I have tried playing in the last couple of years have done in attempting to entertain me.
I'd say the Uncharted series are fun
Great sense of humour and very well written
great games. a level above tombraider. decent grown up story too. pity xboxers cant play it as they are truly great games.
Duke Nukem ForNever
Sorry but I just checked availablility for Duke Nukem Forever on Amazon.co.uk and it lists a release date of Sept. 2012. If that's accurate then they are wasting their time and would be better off to just drop it. By then most of us who remember chewing ass and kicking bubblegum will have retired and be playing who can drool the farthest instead.
That quote was nicked #
Posted Tuesday 11th January 2011 15:14 GMT
from They Live.
I thought Portal was a lot of fun - I hope Portal 2 will be as well. Oh one little thing to the PC gamer bashers - you do realise you can use controllers/steering wheels/joysticks on a PC (normally via USB) as well as mouse and keyboard?
My god, this is like iPhone vs Android...
This argument is almost as good as an iPhone vs Android argument, except here there are 3 sides, PC, PS, Xbox.
Always 3 sides
In the phone arguement also has 3 sided but us BlackBerry users are too busy efficiently working to stoop so low as to put forth an opinion!
So ...
...apart from crap sequels to overhyped crap games, are there any NEW games coming to market ?
Guess not.
Selling up the console and swapping the PC to Linux is becoming more attractive ...
So what if there are a lot of sequels, perhaps it is because they are good series.
Portal is anything but overhyped, I just hope Move support is added as I prefer comfy settee to sitting at the PC.
Uncharted - well it is possibly the best console game series of this generation, or it could be Mass Effect?
Lots of really good games, so what if they are sequels?
Games for 2011
Whilst I wait for HL2: Episode 3, I can at least look forward to Portal 2.
Other than that - the only probable other game will be Lego Star Wars 3 - Clone Wars on the Wii. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/legostarwarsiii/index.jsp
My son (6 years old) loves the other Lego games.
You are in a...
...maze of twisty passages
Consoles? Pah!
Anybody who suggests that any autoaim assisted FPS played with a fricking console controller can APPROACH even a mediocre shooter on PC can be discounted as a clueless teen who has no idea about gaming.
Now get the hell off my lawn!
I can't believe that no-one has remembered
...Diablo III. OK, so it's not been officially given a release date yet, but all indications are that it will ship in Q4 2011.

Socioeconomic conditions of Malagasy coastal fishing communities
Madagascar is classified by the World Bank as a low income country, with acute poverty and in 2006 a per capita GDP of 878 US$ PPP (purchasing power parity). The Human Development Index (HDI) for Madagascar is 0.533, which gives the country a rank of 143rd out of world's 179 countries for which data are available. From 2000 to 2007, 71.3% of the population lived beneath the national poverty line. Overall poverty is more prevalent in rural areas, where 78% of the population and 84% of poor people live. In eight of Madagascar's twelve coastal districts both rural and urban poverty are more prevalent than the national average, ranging from 70.7% (Sava region) to 81.6% (Androy region).
The socio-economic characteristics of most traditional fishing communities in Madagascar are characteristic of tropical coastal poverty:
They have large households with a high proportion of children and a high birth rate;
Child labour is prevalent and schooling of children is low; household heads are poorly educated;
Access to basic health services and drinkable water are poor;
Households are often physically isolated from markets, schooling, transport links and other basic services;
Livelihood strategies are based on marine and coastal resources that are open-access with no clear owner-ship;
There is a high degree of immigration to coastal areas with easily-accessible livelihood opportunities;
The natural resources upon which poor coastal people depend are degraded.
Migration drivers
The present migration of traditional fishers is symptomatic of the many challenges faced by poor coastal people in South West Madagascar. On a macro-level the principal migration routes simply reflect a livelihood strategy of poor, resource-dependent people who are moving from areas of high poverty, high dependency on fishing as a livelihood and depleted coastal fisheries to areas of lower poverty, low dependency on fishing and still-productive fisheries. This overarching driver is rooted in a number of causal direct and indirect drivers of migration. Principal among these are:
the strong demand for shark fins and sea cucumbers (trepang);
the widespread degradation of coastal ecosystems underpinning fisheries in South West Madagascar because of climate change, hyper-sedimentation and over-fishing;
and poverty engendered by over-population, resource degradation and the lack of alternative livelihoods to fishing.
In addition to these - the most powerful drivers of migration - traditional fishers also move for other reasons. For example: insecurity caused by armed bandits, to have access to education for their children, to live closer to markets, to have access to fisheries opportunities unexploited by the resident communities, and to settle in scarcely populated sites where competition for natural resources is lower.
Migration patterns
Significant migrations of traditional fishers take place over the entire west and southwest coasts of Madagascar. Here, myriad movements take place, ranging in distance from tens to hundreds of kilometres, and in time scale from short fishing trips lasting a few weeks to seasonal migrations of three to nine months. Some migrations are even definitive, with migrants settling permanently at their destinations. These migrations can be roughly grouped as follows:
a recent distant migration of Vezo fishers driven by the strong demand for sea cucumbers and shark fins;
a more traditional distant migration of Vezo and Sara fishers in search of better 'traditional' fishing resources – fish for their own consumption and local sale;
and localised seasonal migrations of fishers seeking better 'traditional' fishing resources.
The migration that is driven by the strong demand for shark fins and sea cucumbers typically involves fishers moving long distances north from the Morombe and Befandefa regions as far as Maintirano, and south from the Tulear and Anakao regions as far as Androka. The migrant traditional fishers are of both urban and rural origins.
In addition to long distance migrations several more localised, seasonal migrations take place with the fishers mostly seeking more productive fishing sites. An example of such a migration takes place within the Velondriake community-managed marine protected area in the Befandefa commune, where local fishers move seasonally to the offshore islands of Nosy Hao and Nosy Andragnombala.
Farmers and herders from the interior of the South West, faced with drought and insecurity, have moved to the South West coast to subsist by gleaning for sea cucumbers and octopus. This presents a paradox of a continuing influx of migrants from inland to the coast while traditional fishers migrate away from their villages because of population pressure and resource shortage.
In the North East and far South West Madagascar there are significant movements of people with no tradition of fishing (mostly farmers) to the coast to seek out new livelihoods from fishing. In the North East people began to move seasonally to the coastal villages of Ambaro Bay to fish shrimp in the 1990's. This phenomenon significantly increased the size of these villages.
A number of small-scale movements of artisanal fishers take place on the Northern coasts of Madagascar that are determined by the seasons and the weather patterns that they bring. These fishermen are targeting large pelagic fish and shark, while others free dive for sea cucumbers. In contrast to the traditional migratory fishers of the West coast, the migratory artisanal fishermen have only recently come into being. Their boats are equipped with outboard motors; they have substantial nets and in some cases are equipped with compressors and scuba gear. They are often employed by wealthy urban bosses and themselves come from urban centres. As money-driven operations they strip-out local resources, targeting particularly sea cucumbers, sharks, lobster and sometimes even turtles. Traditional fishers cannot compete with them and must often stand aside and watch the pillaging of their resources. It is chiefly along the Northern coast of Madagascar that artisanal fishers move itinerantly along the coast or according to the seasonal weather conditions.
The fishers of South West Madagascar have a long tradition of migrating and are widely seen to be a semi-nomadic people. Historically migration served as a safety-valve to over-population and diminishing resources in a particular area – when the resources were no longer adequate to sustain a village's growing population people moved to previously unexploited areas that were either uninhabited or more sparsely populated. Many of today's coastal villages were so established, with the general direction of Vezo fisher movement being northwards. Many Vezo - or ―fisher- villages are made up of people of diverse ethnic origins. One becomes Vezo by a way of living rather than through inheritance of ethnicity through a bloodline. Nor do the Vezo have a tradition of sea tenure or fishing rights. The semi-nomadic nature of the Vezo probably reflects their origin of being a poor people moving to the coast to seek a livelihood and source of subsistence that was unavailable elsewhere; with moving being an indirect mechanism of natural resource management.
Migration dynamics
However, rapid population growth, widespread degradation of coral reefs and related marine ecosystems, and the relatively recent arrival of external commercial markets have drastically changed the characteristics of Vezo migrations. The number of migrants travelling long distances has increased dramatically in the last five years and is at unprecedented levels, both in absolute and relative terms. 68% of migrants surveyed in 2009 had never migrated before 2004; moreover 64% of their parents had themselves never migrated. A large proportion of the population of the migrants' villages of origin are now migrating; for the villages surveyed in this study this was estimated to range from 15 – 60% of the village population (for Lamboara and Ampasilava respectively). Results show that a majority of today's young male migrants do not return home to their villages of origin.
Migrant fishing activities
Surveys of migrant fishermen from the South West in this study show that most practice shark and sea cucumber fishing as primary activities. 90% use jarifa nets to fish for sharks either as a primary or secondary activity; while 70% fish for sea cucumbers as a primary or secondary activity.
Management measures and conflicts
There are no existing national laws governing fisher migration in Madagascar per se, nor has the government developed any specific policy towards fisher migration. However, migration is increasingly characterised by conflict between migrants and resident communities. The increasingly large numbers of migrants settling in the islands of Belo-sur-mer and the Barren Isles – in particular since 2005–2006 – have been particularly contentious. In 2008 these recent conflicts caused the local authorities to create new by-laws in order to protect the biodiversity of both archipelagos. These actions by local government do not form part of a coherent national or regional policy towards migration and are not supported by any efforts to provide migrants with viable alternatives to visiting prohibited areas.
Fishing and coastal resources are open-access to traditional fishers under Malagasy law and furthermore there is no village tradition of marine tenure or explicit management of access to marine resources on the West coast of Madagascar. Nevertheless, much of the effective management of migrants' actions has traditionally taken place at a village level. Migrants are pushed out of a fishing community if they use destructive fishing methods that the community does not accept, particularly when the migrants have no family ties with the resident community. Some villages have taken management actions by asking migrants to pay for the right to fish from their villages. In these cases there is little conflict between residents and migrants.
Traditionally resource use has been governed indirectly through faly, a societal taboo based on ancestral beliefs and laws articulated by village elders. An example of this that is particularly pertinent to the current migration is the faly of not living on the Belo-sur-Mer isles. Historically migrants considered faly as inviolable; they would never have even considered breaking them. But the sacredness of faly is being increasingly eroded by the growing numbers of migrants arriving and by many of the drivers that have driven the fishers to migrate. This disrespect of local faly has not only caused deep offence to the residents, but has also implicitly weakened their control over their local marine resources. Many leaders from resident communities expressed this to be the single most serious problem created by migration.
Existing national fishing regulations bring little governance to the fishing activities of migrants for two reasons. Firstly, the local authorities do not have the capacity to enforce them and their application is negligible. Secondly, the existing national legislation effectively does not govern the primary activities of most migrants – shark and sea cucumber fishing. In other respects migrant fishers do break national laws, as do most traditional fishers, for example by using fine nets and killing marine turtles. However, they see many of the national fishing regulations that should affect them as being disconnected with the realities of their daily existence and long-standing fishing practices.
The majority of traditional migrants are not competing directly with resident communities for the same fishing resources. The vast majority of migrant Vezo fishers on the West coast target sharks using deep-water gill nets and sea cucumbers by free-diving. The non-migrating Vezo Sakalava communities – the primary resident populations in most of the destination areas, for example Belo-sur-mer and Maintirano - do not have a tradition of practising these techniques (with the exception of some permanent fishing communities in Maintirano, they themselves of migrant origin); indeed migrant Vezo from further south introduced residents to the offshore marine resources of the northern areas, along with the practice of spear-gun fishing. The conflict over marine resources stems more from residents seeing the Vezo migrants intensively harvesting "residents' resources", and often earning considerable income from them, whilst bringing little or no benefits to the local communities.
The Belo-sur-mer and Barren Isles are high conservation priorities and migrant fishers have undoubtedly caused some damage to the ecological condition and biodiversity of these archipelagos. Besides removing keystone species such as sharks and sea cucumbers, they have also, for example, been responsible for decimating colonies of nesting sea birds, introducing rats and harvesting nesting turtles. Conservation planning and actions have been taken to establish marine protected areas around both archipelagos. For Belo-sur-mer these plans are more advanced than the Barren isles, with the government of Madagascar affording legal ―temporary protection‖ to a marine extension of the Kirindy-Mitea National Park in 2008. For the Barren isles these plans are nascent, although conservation activities have been carried out in the region for a number of years. Activities have included the establishment of a community association to protect the marine biodiversity and the passing of laws by local authorities to protect the island biodiversity. The current trends of human migration are incompatible with attaining these conservation objectives and substantial stakeholder consultation will be necessary if conservation actions in either archipelago are to be successful and sustainable.
Socio-economic importance
In 1998, six years before the migration began to take on its current size and importance, published research judged that it was through migration to Andriamitaroke that fishers of a typical migrant village, Ampasilava, earned the major part of their annual livelihood. Furthermore, they were not able to meet their basic living needs by only fishing in their home village. All of the drivers of this migration (ecosystem degradation, fishery depletion, over-population, poverty, external demand for shark fin and trepang) have intensified over the intervening decade. Conservation management measures that seek to limit the damaging impact of migrants on marine ecosystems in destination areas must take into account the socio-economic importance of migration.
There is generally little leadership of the migrants at the places of destination. Migrants are commonly disparate groups with, on the one hand, little voice for participating in dialogue with the resident authorities, and, on the other hand, a law unto themselves, freed from the social norms of their home communities.
Prevention of fishers' contemporary migrations would exacerbate localised population pressures, contribute to further exhaustion of already dwindling natural resources in the villages of origin, and mean that certain migrants would struggle to feed their families. Since migration is a manifestation of the many socioeconomic and environmental difficulties fishing communities face, there is a critical need to address the underlying drivers of migration rather than have a migration policy per se. The causal, inter-linked drivers - over-population, lack of alternative livelihood opportunities to fishing, lack of local environmental management frameworks, widespread resource degradation and resultant poverty - need to be addressed directly as a prerequisite to attempting to manage the traditional fisher migration.
The establishment of a regional network of locally-managed marine areas would be a practicable step towards tackling these problems. This would:
empower communities to effectively manage their own marine natural resources;
facilitate the formalisation of community marine resource tenure currently lacking in South West Madagascar,
enable effective communication and conflict mitigation between migrant and resident communities;
and most importantly, form a community structure around which population growth could be tackled and alternative livelihoods catalysed.
Only such localised solutions – expanded to a regional scale – would make tackling the multitude of problems that cause migration, as well as the conflicts that it itself engenders, possible.

Inderkum IB Program, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established by parents in the Natomas community to bring to Inderkum High School an academically recognized program. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is a two-year comprehensive and rigorous pre-university curriculum leading to an IB Diploma. Successful IB candidates are typically granted advance placement credit at the finest universities and colleges in the nation. This program is administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) based in Geneva Switzerland and has been implemented in more than 140 countries and 600 public schools in the US, 84 of those in California.
When Inderkum High School opened in the fall of 2004, its first principal envisioned a time when the school's curriculum would be enriched with the IB Diploma Program offered to eleventh and twelfth graders. Many community members, familiar with the IB's prestigious program, were excited by the prospect of IB as one of the school's small learning communities. However, by the time Inderkum graduated its first class in 2007, and was therefore eligible to apply, new administration, both onsite and at the central office, had made commitments to different programs and populations. It seemed practical for enrichment and acceleration to offer the first eleventh and twelfth graders the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which have only recently implemented some standardization by asking teachers to submit and have their syllabi approved.
Rather than beginning the two year application process in the fall of 2007 for an IB Diploma Program, when the school had finally became eligible, the consensus was to continue offering and strengthening College Board classes for the present and to explore IB later. The school has now graduated four classes, gone through a WASC accreditation process, has a talented faculty, has established extra-curricular activities, a National Honor Society, California Scholars Program, participates in Academic Decathlon, has a growing arts and music program and has a library. Inderkum is more than ready to distinguish itself by providing a program to prepare local students a challenging opportunity to achieve an IB Diploma.
Please continue to explore our website to learn more about how you can help bring an IB Diploma Program to Inderkum High School.

Mark Wilf Addresses ParticipantsPosted by on July 11, 2009 – 2:01 pm
The tournament has moved into the single-elimination stage, with the Vikings team qualifying as the #5 seed. They will face the #4 seeded Saints team in a little bit.
Prior to the single-elimination format beginning, Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf arrived at Winter Park and addressed the young athletes. Wilf thanked the athletes and their coaches for their participation and example. He also thanked the National Guard for their role in helping to put on the tournament.
After Wilf's remarks, the National Guard presented the Vikings owner with a trophy, thanking him for his service to youth football. Following the trophy presentation, the National Guard presented the colors and sang the National Anthem.
The Dolphins were the top seeded team in the AFC and the Panthers were the #1 seed in the NFC. The championship game will likely begin around 4:00 p.m. CT.
We'll have more updates for you later this afternoon.
