John Ross "J.R." Ewing, Jr. is a fictional character in the hit U.S. television series Dallas (1978–91) and its spin-offs, including the revived Dallas series (2012-). The character was portrayed by actor Larry Hagman from the series premiere in 1978 until his death in late 2012. One of the show's most iconic figures, J.R. has been central to many of the series' biggest storylines. He is depicted as a covetous, egocentric, manipulative and amoral oil baron with psychopathic tendencies,[2] who is constantly plotting subterfuges to plunder his foes and their wealth.[3]
The original character concept was a blend of Bonanza with a rich, western patriarch and his three dissimilar sons, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with its rival brothers, and their scheming wives, and Romeo and Juliet with two star-crossed lovers whose families are sworn enemies. The thrust of the series was initially the feuding families, with J.R. just a supporting character, but his popularity grew and the producers acknowledged he became the breakout character. Two highly rated 1980 episodes became part of a cultural phenomenon that year known as "Who shot J.R.?".[4] In "A House Divided", the audience witnessed J.R. being shot by an unknown assailant. After the cliffhanger was broadcast in March, the audience had to wait until the October conclusion, "Who Done It". With his new-found popularity, Larry Hagman threatened to leave the series unless his contractual demands were met. CBS leaked rumors of recasting, but the actor eventually prevailed.[5] Hagman was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of the series.[6] He also appeared in five episodes of spin-off series Knots Landing between 1980 and 1982. Hagman died on November 23, 2012, and Dallas producers subsequently announced that J.R. would be killed off in the second season.[7] The episode "The Furious And Fast" dealt with J.R's death. In the season finale his killer was revealed, and JR appeared in a flashback in April 2013 when revealing his death. Unused footage of Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing will be used in season 3 as part of its story arc.[8]
J.R. Ewing is considered one of television's most popular characters,[9][10] with TV Guide naming him #1 in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.[11]
J.R. Ewing (1939–2013) was the eldest son of John Ross "Jock" Ewing, Sr. and Eleanor Southworth "Miss Ellie" Ewing. J.R. was born in September 1939 on the family's Southfork Ranch in Parker, Texas.[12] J.R. has two younger brothers Gary and Bobby, a half-brother Ray Krebbs from his father's affair with an Army nurse named Margaret Hunter during World War II, and a step-brother Steven "Dusty" Farlow from his mothers marriage to Clayton Farlow. An alcoholic, Gary and his wife Val were spun off into the prime time soap Knots Landing. Gary's daughter Lucy was whisked away to the ranch by J.R. Knots Landing was not bought by CBS until 1979.[13]
Starting at age five, J.R. was groomed to be the heir apparent to his father Jock at Ewing Oil, an independent oil company that Jock ran in a very cutthroat, ruthless manner. After coming home from the Vietnam War in 1962, J.R. began his long tenure as an employee of Ewing Oil. J.R. had no interest working on Southfork Ranch, which was mostly the domain of his mother Miss Ellie, and half-brother Ray Krebbs, but J.R. did have a special love to keep Southfork in the family. Middle brother Gary was mostly under the influence of his mother and embraced the Southworth tradition of ranching on Southfork and had no interest in Ewing Oil. He and wife Val left Dallas for California. J.R.'s youngest brother Bobby spent most of his time juggling between Southfork and Ewing Oil, and was Jock's favorite son. This made J.R. enormously determined to impress Jock. Despite his huge successes in the oil business J.R. was never able to overcome Jock's favoritism for Bobby. This led to a major rift between J.R. and Bobby that started in childhood and continued as they grew up, especially when Bobby began pursuing a relationship with Pamela Barnes, who was part of the Ewings' rival family as Jock had a longstanding rivalry with Pam's father Digger and J.R. continued it with Digger's son Cliff.
J.R. had many extramarital affairs and a manic drive to maximize profits, to a point where he would resort to just about anything to get what he wanted. One plot included even mortgaging Southfork Ranch, which angered his family. Sometimes, he would ally himself with a corrupt Dallas Police detective, Harry McSween (James E. Brown), in order to get what he wanted. J.R. often had McSween issue arrest warrants for trumped up charges (usually false) against, most notably, Peter Richards (Christopher Atkins), who was driven out of Dallas on trumped up drug charges; his sister in-law, Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby), whose rivalry with him resulted in her shooting J.R. in 1980 and later in her death in 1981; and attorney Alan Beam (Randolph Powell), with whom she was allied.
J.R. had two wives and three sons during the show's run: James Richard Beaumont was J.R.'s eldest son by an off screen affair with Vanessa Beaumont (brought to knowledge during season 12). His second and most favored son was John Ross Ewing III from his first wife Sue Ellen (played by Linda Gray). His third son was with his second wife Cally (played by Cathy Podewell). J.R. also believed he was the father of Christopher Ewing, the son of his sister-in-law and mistress Kristin Shepard and Jeff Farraday. It was later revealed that he is not the father of Christopher who was adopted by Bobby and Pamela. Despite his adversarial relationship with everyone, J.R. seemed to have a strong and genuine love for his son John Ross; serving as a sort of Achilles' heel for the conniving oilman.
Over the years, J.R.'s actions began to catch up with him. He and Sue Ellen remarried and divorced several times, the last of which saw her leave for Europe but not before threatening J.R. with something she promised would ruin him. In addition to that, Sue Ellen's penchant for drinking nearly caused the destruction of Southfork by fire (Ray and J.R. had a fight that emerged from a car accident Sue Ellen had caused and where a cousin of Ray's was paralyzed and died).
In addition to that, J.R.'s scorned woman Cally Harper and his illegitimate son James caused him to be locked in a sanatorium for several months, which was the start of what would eventually be a year where J.R. lost everything. First, he lost control of Ewing Oil to Cliff, then was fired at West Star Oil by a vengeful Carter McKay who hated him. To top it all off, he lost control of Southfork and was disowned by his son who moved to Europe to be with Sue Ellen. All J.R. was left with was a room in Southfork that Bobby let him stay in and not much else. Contemplating suicide, the character roamed the lonely Southfork with a bottle of bourbon and a loaded revolver. After an It's a Wonderful Life-like fantasy, J.R. is shown what life would have been like had he never been born. The series ended with a single gunshot, and Bobby dashing into the room shouting, "Oh my God!". J.R.'s fate was not revealed.
J.R. and Cliff were the only characters who remained with the series throughout all 14 seasons.
J.R. initially drove a green 1978 280SE Mercedes-Benz, later replaced by a 1979 Reseda Green Mercedes Benz 450SEL. In 1981, he drove the "new" W126 380SEL, also in Reseda Green. In 1983 when his wife Sue Ellen wrecked the car at the end of the Southfork driveway, J.R. replaced it with another 1983 Mercedes Benz 380SEL. In 1984, Mercedes-Benz changed the flagship S-Class model to the 500SEL, J.R. then replaced the 380 with one of these. Finally, J.R. drove a facelifted W126 560SEL beginning the 1986 season. J.R. also occasionally drove a Cadillac Allanté convertible from 1987–91. In "J.R. Returns", J.R. drives the 500SEL yet again for the first portion of the film. However, this vehicle is totaled and replaced with an updated silver 1996 Mercedes-Benz W140 S420 sedan. In "War of the Ewings", J.R. is driving a silver 1998 SL500 Roadster. All of J.R.'s vehicles had the personalized license plate "EWING 3".
In a later reunion movie it was revealed that J.R. had shot a mirror and moved away to Europe for a few years. (1996) He returned and attempted to take back his empire, succeeding to an extent as he drove Cliff Barnes out of Ewing Oil, returning it to Bobby. J.R. was also elected chairman of West Star Oil, a feat he had spent almost fifteen years fighting to achieve.[14]
Another reunion movie (1998) (in which Ken Kercheval was absent) saw J.R., in this moment CEO of Westar, try and fail to force a merger with Ewing Oil, but he did claim the consolation of conning $50,000,000 from Carter McKay.[15]
J.R. returns in the 2012 revival of the series, which focuses on J.R.'s son John Ross Ewing III and Bobby's adopted son Christopher Ewing. To J.R.'s delight, John Ross has become a carbon copy of him, in that he is more focused on Ewing Oil, and is bent on money, power and greed.
As the series begins J.R. has spent the last few years in a nursing home, suffering from chronic depression and not speaking despite visits from Bobby. Bobby visits and tells J.R. that all of their fights over Ewing Oil and Southfork changed him in ways he doesn't like and that he wants Christopher and John Ross to be a real family and not be like them always fighting. When John Ross eventually visits him on Bobby's suggestion, he says that Bobby plans to sell Southfork, J.R. finally rouses himself to help his son fight the attempts to block his drilling for oil on the ranch and tells John Ross that Bobby was always a fool. He reveals that he is working alongside Marta Del Sol, the daughter of an old friend of J.R.'s, who owns millions of acres of land. Marta is supposedly offering a partnership to Bobby but it's J.R. pulling the strings as when Bobby signs Southfork to Marta's conservatory, it'll really be going to J.R. John Ross is really working alongside Marta, with J.R. seeing them together but not seeming to mind. J.R. surprises everyone by showing up at a family gathering (acting as an invalid by using a walker) and apologizing to Bobby and Sue Ellen for his actions of the past. He later goes to Mexico to see Marta's father but he knows nothing of any deal. He then introduces his daughter only she's not the woman J.R. knows as Marta. Realizing he's been fooled, J.R. tells Del Sol he's made a mistake and bites out that Marta should meet his son as "he's a chip off the old block."
J.R. eventually succeeds in getting Southfork from Bobby and doesn't waste any time in beginning to drill for oil on Southfork. He also cuts John Ross out of the partnership. However, he does give his son power of attorney to run his business ventures. The first season ends with John Ross and J.R. joining forces against Bobby, as well as against Christopher and Elena, who have apparently reunited as a couple.
In the second season's episode "The Furious and the Fast", J.R. talks to John Ross by phone about a "master plan" to defeat Cliff Barnes and Harris Ryland and to help John Ross take control of Ewing Energies, saying it will be his "masterpiece" when somebody apparently walks into the room and shoots twice, killing him.
J.R.'s memorial was held at the Dallas Petroleum Club where many guests from his past attended. J.R.'s favorite drink, bourbon and branch was served. Guests included J.R.'s half-brother Ray Krebbs, niece Lucy Ewing, brothers Gary Ewing and Bobby Ewing, ex-wives Sue Ellen Ewing and Cally Harper Ewing, ex-mistress Mandy Winger, adopted nephew Christopher Ewing, Elena Ramos and her brother Drew Ramos and J.R.'s son John Ross Ewing III. Other notable guests included Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
J.R.'s funeral was held at the family cemetery plot on Southfork Ranch. Ray, Lucy, Gary, Christopher, Elena, Sue Ellen, and Bobby all spoke. J.R. was buried next to the graves of Jock and Miss Ellie.
At his funeral, Sue Ellen read the letter that J.R. had written to her before he was murdered where he stated that he wanted another chance with her. Sue Ellen referred to J.R. as "the love of my life". Since J.R. had been a war veteran, his coffin was draped in a U.S. Stars and Stripes flag and was handed folded to John Ross because he was his son and next-of-kin.
At the end of the funeral J.R.'s private investigator Bum Jones arrives at the graveside. In the office at Southfork, Bum tells Bobby, John Ross, and Christopher that J.R. was in Abu Dhabi closing a deal to buy some oil leases but that his real reason for being in Abu Dhabi was because for the last several months he was trying to find Christopher's adoptive mother and Bobby's ex-wife Pamela Barnes Ewing. Bum gives Christopher some papers that would tell why it was important for Christopher to find Pam.
Bum reveals that J.R. was in Nuevo Laredo following a lead to take down Harris Ryland using the quail hunt as a cover story. John Ross assumes that Ryland was behind his father's murder but Bum says that J.R. was killed by a random mugger. John Ross is given a box containing a pistol and a note from J.R. telling John Ross that now that he is dead Cliff Barnes and Ryland will join forces to take down the Ewings. The note also says John Ross should use the contents of the box "to take from them what they want to take from us" and that afterwards "Bobby will know what to do". J.R. ends the note by telling John Ross not to forget that he is J.R.'s son "from tip to tail".
Bum gives a letter to Bobby. Bobby reads the letter but doesn't reveal what it says and tells John Ross and Christopher that it is between J.R. and him for the time being. Bobby and Bum talk outside the office where Bobby tells Bum to pay off whoever he has to make everyone believe that J.R. was killed by a mugger and when the time is right the Ewings will handle the situation as a family.
Bobby goes to J.R.'s bedroom and drinks some of J.R.'s trademark bourbon. Bobby, imagining talking to J.R., says that he knew J.R. would have one final card to play and it was a good one. Bobby says he loves J.R. and he breaks down crying.
Bobby, John Ross and Christopher continue working together on the plan and they realise how important it is to find Pam, because she owns one-third of Barnes Global shares along with Katherine and Cliff. With Katherine dead it only leaves her. It was said she entered Abu Dhabi with her husband in 1989.
Bobby finally reveals that J.R's master plan was to frame Cliff for his death "from beyond the grave". He reveals that J.R., knowing that he only had days to live from terminal cancer, had Bum steal Cliff's pistol. J.R. knew that Cliff went to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico every year for a fishing competition. J.R. had Bum meet him there and kill him. His plan was to have the Ewing family plant the pistol and J.R.'s trademark belt buckle in Cliff's car and safety deposit box.
J.R. will return in the third season of Dallas using unused footage of the character as part of the season's story arc.[1]

Peeping Tom – Peeping Tom
A View Through A Keyhole
Six years might be an eternity to wait through for one album for some fans. Yet, in just shy of six years since the first trickling of public mention of Mike Patton's "pop" project Peeping Tom, he has either released or been a major contributor on no fewer than eleven full-length albums. In the time since the inception of Peeping Tom, Patton has worked with a dream team worth of artists: King Buzzo, Dan the Automator, Duane Denison, The X-Ecutioners, Rahzel and Bjork. After an early demo leak, a major label flirtation and a six-year genre-defying series of musical experiments, the long-gestating guest-spot-filled Peeping Tom finally drops its self-titled debut album.
And lo, it is good. Opener "Five Seconds" with Odd Nosdam and "Celebrity Death Match" with Kid Koala mix the creepy side of slick electronica (funk bass, varied drum patterns, ambient synth drones) with a pinch of loud rock. Patton and Norah Jones trade seductive vocals against horn stabs and turntable slides on "Sucker" while singing, "what makes you think you're my only lover?" Massive Attack brings an upbeat trip-hop sensibility to "Kill The DJ," a sure-fire crossover hit as impressive for its bleeps and beats as it is for the note Patton amazingly holds during the chorus.
"Getaway" is more futuristic hip-hop with Mike providing the hook ("you've got to getaway") to Kool Keith's even-paced lyrical story of flight. Bebel Gilberto even drops by for a sunny waltz on "Caipirinha."
The strongest tracks here "Your Neighborhood Spaceman," "Don't Even Trip" and "How U Feelin?" thrill, sooth and entice replay through soulful verses, meticulous arrangements and intoxicating melodies. The set ends with Dub Trio backing Patton up for "We're Not Alone – Remix," a patient number with a positively explosive chorus and vocals diverse enough to sound like three singers. Peeping Tom's debut (reportedly the first of three), much like this song, is a stunning snapshot of a well-rounded career from a relentless professional.Search for Bebel Gilberto albums on Amazon

Backyard Orchard News
Burst of Buds, Blooms and Bees
Next spring the Campus Buzzway at UC Davis will burst with buds, blooms and bees.
The Campus Buzzway, a quarter-acre field of wildflowers, took root the third week of November when a crew planted golden poppies, lupine and coreopsis (tickseed).
Or more precisely, Eschscholzia californica, Lupinus perennis and Coreopsis granidflora.
The garden is a gift from Häagen-Dazs, which also funded the design competition for the half-acre Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven. Both bee friendly gardens are located on Bee Biology Road, next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility.
Many other donors have stepped forward to make the gardens possible.
Think bees.
Think year-around food source for bees.
Think public awareness about the the plight of bees.
Think educational opportunities for visitors.
This is no ordinary garden. The Campus Buzzway is unique in that it not only will sport the UC Davis official colors of blue and gold, but it will include three areas of concentrated plantings surrounded by random plantings of the poppies, lupine and coreopsis.
Lynn Kimsey, professor and vice chair of the Department of Entomology and director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, suggested the design, which also includes narrow walkways.
The two gardens, she said, "will greatly benefit our colonies and make terrific teaching opportunities."
Expect to see scores of local pollinator populations there, too, and folks gleaning ideas for their own bee friendly gardens. Yes!
This is the second year that Häagen-Dazs, known for its premier ice cream (about half of its flavors are pollinated by honey bees), has raised funds for honey bee research at UC Davis and Penn State University. At UC Davis, Häagen-Dazs is funding postdoctoral fellow Michelle Flenniken, an insect virus researcher seeking to unlock the mysteries of the viruses that plague bees.
Meanwhile, mark your calendars. A public celebration of the two bee friendly gardens is set June 19.

When we visited the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden recently, honey bees were nectaring the mutton bird sedge (Carex trifeda), a New Zealand native known for its upright floral spikes that resemble golden bottle brushes.
Indeed, the mutton bird sedge reminds us of the red bottlebrush tree (Callistemon spp.), a native of nearby Australia.
Both attract their share of nectar lovers.
Bee and Mutton Bird Sedge

Honey, I'm Home!
Youngsters like to joke about what a honey bee says when she returns to the hive: "Honey, I'm home!"
Honey...what is it?
The National Honey Board defines honey as "the substance made when the nectar and sweet deposits from plants are gathered, modified and stored in the honeycomb by honey bees. The definition of honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance. This includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners."
Honey ranges in color from nearly white to light amber to nearly black. The nectar source determines the color.
At the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis, jars of multicolored honey grace the windowsill of the conference room. As the sun sets, the colors are dazzling.
Below, bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, manager of the Laidlaw facility, and beekeeper-junior specialist Elizabeth Frost show four jars of honey.
Gathering Nectar
Winged Wonders
Hear the buzz?
That's the sound of a honey bee's wings moving at about 11,400 times per minute.
As a field bee, the worker bee lives only several weeks during the peak nectaring season. She can fly four to five miles a day, at a speed of about 15 miles per hour. When her wings (she has four) fray and wear out, she can no longer fly.
We recently spotted a honey bee with very ragged wings nectaring lantana and another nectaring lavender.
A world of difference between the wings.

Meet the Masons
Mason wasps are strikingly beautiful.
The black and yellow patterns are intriguing, but even more intriguing are the mud nests they build.
Makes sense that these wasps are called mason or potter wasps, named for what they do. Their human counterparts work with stone, brick, and concrete.
Native Americans reportedly designed some of their pottery in the shape of wasp nests.
Last month we spotted two mason wasps in our garden. One was seemingly sunning itself on a salvia leaf. Another was sipping nectar from a rock purslane.
Now if we could only find their nests...

Air Seeding Accuracy with the Versatility of an All-Purpose Opener
The Sunflower 9000 Series Air Seeder line combines air seeding accuracy with the industry's most proven All-Purpose heads up opener. This combination not only delivers the industry's most accurate seeding machine, but it provides valuable flexibility when seeding in varying field conditions.
Built to Sunflower standards, the 9000 Series Air Seeder line is designed to handle conventional seeding in even the toughest no-till situations with minimal changes. The 9000 Series Air Seeder from Sunflower incorporates several design features that help you become more productive while providing you the security of seeding accuracy.
The 7" x 7" main frame with 3" x 5" subframes help to maintain consistent depth control in min-till or no-till conditions.
Heavy duty 3/8" thick 7" x 7" main frames are coupled to a 3/8" thick 3" x 5" opener frame to create a sound foundation for the Sunflower Air Drills.
8" of opener stagger allows crop residue to flow through and not gather within.
Allows crop residue to flow through the openers and not gather within. All Sunflower Air Seeders feature a full 8" of front to rear opener stagge
High efficiency air system that provides a low horsepower draw from tractor.
A high efficiency air system design utilizes a 13" diameter fan that provides a low horsepower draw from the tractor hydraulics.
An exclusive Posi-Drive Transmission uses a positive lock on all drive sprockets to deliver smooth and reliable metering. A positive drive wheel compensates for any change in ground speed, ensuring precise product rates at all times.
Centrally located controls allow the operator to safely fold and unfold the seeding unit from behind the air cart.
Accuracy & performance are just a glance away with these simple and easy-to-read monitors. Features include: fan speed, ground speed, meter shaft rotation, bin level, field acres seeded, total acres seeded and calibrated seeding rate per acre. Moisture proof connections on the systems SMART SENSORS ensure reliable operation.
Patented flat fan divider head eliminates abrupt flow changes of conventional vertical divider heads.
Spiral fluted metering wheels gently roll product into the air stream at a constant flow.
Accuracy is the key and that is why Sunflower utilizes unique spiral fluted metering wheels that gently roll product into the air stream in a constant flow. This provides a distinct contrast to the uneven dumping of straight fluted metering wheels. Our metering wheels are made from a durable polymer that ensures long life. Sunflower's metering wheels can handle a variety of seed sizes from wheat to large beans, as well as fertilizer, without changing metering wheels.
All-Purpose opener features easy to reach settings for varying field conditions. All openers can be reset for varying field conditions in a matter of minutes with no tools.
The All-Purpose opener design gently delivers the seed to its final resting place while providing longer bearing and blade life. Let the new All-Purpose "Heads Up" openers penetrate your seeding problems and deliver an answer of higher yields and longer life. Sunflower really is "Seeding Quality".
Competitions Non-Pivoting Press Wheels Plants emerge in the ridge, not under press wheel tracks. Poor and late emergence are the results.
Sunflower Pivoting Press Wheels Precisely follow the opener path and produce a favorable seed to soil contact. Plants emerge under press wheel tracks.
Improved emergence and enhanced yields are the results.
With Sunflower patented Soil Control Device, soil is directed back into seed trench and firmed by press wheels. Results are even emergence and improved yields. Soil controlling devices minimize soil blow out from opener blades, both in no-till or conventional seedbeds. Soil controlling devices are made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polymer for prolonged life. UHMW is backed by spring steel to guard against bending.
Sunflower offers five different choices of press wheels to complete your grain drill. The precision cam adjustment allows the single arm swivel type press wheel to be adjusted in 1/4" increments. Adjustments can be made fast and easy, without the use of tools.

Custom php.ini settings field format.
I had a quick question about how the formatting (word wrap?) occurs in the "Custom PHP.ini Settings" Box/field.
I have a bunch of php settings saved in a regular text doc. In the doc it appears like so:
# Protect mail forms against spammer attacks (Effectively disables any headers
It is all nice and neat with each line having either a comment character followed by text to remind me what the heck it does, or it has the command itself.
Now when I paste the commands into the custom php.ini settings box in ISPConfig 3 it butchers it sorta. I don't whether it is because of word wrapping or what. But it looks like so:
# Protect mail forms against spammer attacks (Effectively
Do I need to do anything special when I paste into that box? Do I need to add another "#" infront of "disables" ? Will the way it is displayed return an error or perhaps not let the php setting be applied?
Thanks as always folks,
I guess this happens because of automatic word wrapping. I don't think ISPConfig adds a line break, so I don't think you have to add another #.

And those are two qualities that will be crucial to rebuilding public trust in the department, observers and voting delegates alike said Thursday night during a special Republican convention to nominate the county's next sheriff.
"It's a new era and it's a new beginning, and I believe that [Jeff Richards] has demonstrated that he's going to bring the level of leadership that this county deserves and that the department deserves," Stephen Hunting, Franklin County attorney, said.
If Jeff Richards is not a household name across Franklin County, it likely soon will be.
The Franklin County Republican Central Committee voted 33-0 to select the veteran law enforcement officer as its nominee for sheriff.
Clayton Barker, executive director and general counsel for the Topeka-based Kansas Republican Party, served as chair of the special convention Thursday night at the Church of the Nazarene, Seventh and Elm streets, Ottawa. Barker said he planned to hand-deliver the nomination to the governor's office in Topeka.
Gov. Sam Brownback would have to appoint Richards as sheriff. Committee representatives said Thursday night they anticipated the governor would accept their nomination of Richards, and they expected to receive word from the governor in about a week's time.
Richards perhaps is best known in the city's county seat of Ottawa, where he was just elected Tuesday night to a second term on the Ottawa City Commission. Richards said that if he is appointed sheriff by the governor, he would resign from the city commission.
With 20 years of law enforcement experience under his belt, the 44-year-old Richards would succeed Jeff Curry, who resigned Monday as sheriff in the wake of allegations of criminal wrongdoing.
Richards served as a law enforcement specialist and law enforcement supervisor — among many other law enforcement-related duties — while in the U.S. Air Force for nine years. Before enlisting in the Air Force, he worked as a reserve/part-time deputy and jailer with the Neosho County Sheriff's Office.
At the end of his second enlistment in the Air Force, Richards moved to Ottawa in 2000 and went to work for the Overland Park Police Department, where he has been a detective in the criminal investigation division for the past nine years.
"Jeff is everything you would want in a leader," Det. Sgt. Charles Tippie, one of Richards' longtime supervisors with the Overland Park Police Department, told the delegates when speaking on Richards' behalf during the convention.
Richards conducts himself with great professionalism and has retained a sense of empathy that some detectives lose after years of working homicides, burglaries and other criminal investigations, Tippie said.
"Jeff possesses all the qualities you would want in a sheriff," he said.
Richards defeated Capt. Randy Allen, with the Ottawa Police Department, who was the only other nominee at the convention.
Allen, a lifelong Franklin County resident, also brought impressive law enforcement credentials to the table Thursday night. Allen said he began his law enforcement career in 1987 and has served in numerous capacities while moving up the ladder at the Ottawa Police Department, where he has served in a leadership position for more than a decade.
The veteran public servant appeared to take the loss in stride after Richards was announced the winner.
"I think they elected a good man," Allen said. "He'll be a good sheriff. I know him as a city commissioner, and I've met him professionally on a few occasions. He's very professional, very knowledgeable and I think he'll make a great sheriff."
Familiar territory
The Franklin County Republican Central Committee had the task of nominating the new sheriff because Curry was a Republican. If appointed by the governor, Richards is expected to serve for two years, according to state statue, until the next general election in 2014. Richards also is a staunch member of the Republican Party, and currently serves as the county Republican Central Committee's chairman.
Curry himself was appointed sheriff using the same process in 2010, following the resignation announcement of then-Sheriff Craig Davis. Curry, who served the sheriff's office in some capacity since 1994, announced his resignation plans March 21 during the first hearing of the ouster proceedings filed against him by county attorney Hunting after Curry's Feb. 27 arrest by agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on a felony charge of interference with law enforcement and a misdemeanor charge of official misconduct.
The charges against Curry would be dismissed if the former sheriff successfully completes a 12-month diversion agreement reached Monday in Franklin County District Court.
Candidates talk county issues
Helen Hood, an Ottawa resident and a voting delegate at Thursday's convention, asked Richards if he would be transparent in his dealings with the Franklin County Board of Commissioners with regard to his budget. Hood had been critical of Curry for not seeking the commission's advice before he made some big-ticket purchases, including vehicles for the department.
Richards said he would seek the commission's blessing for his budget and would take spending proposals before the commission.
"I realize [county commissioners] are accountable to the taxpayers, just like I would be," Richards said.
As a city commissioner, Richards said he also is familiar with how budgets work, and he would be careful with how he spent taxpayers' money.
"I would be very frugal with taxpayers' dollars," Richards said.
Don Stottlemire, county commissioner, said after the convention that he thought Richards was the right man for the job.
"He's going to face a lot of challenges, but I think he will hit the ground running and he'll do great," Stottlemire said.
During his comments to the convention delegates, Allen also said he was familiar with the budgeting process. As a captain with the Ottawa police, Allen said he had input into the department's budget.
When asked about gun control, Richards and Allen both said they believed in the right to bear arms and would protect citizens' Second Amendment rights.
Asked about his initial goals, Richards said one of his first acts would be to do away with the public information officer role at the sheriff's office. He said the public should hear from the sheriff, the person elected to the office.
"I don't think there should be a buffer between the sheriff and the public," he said.
Richards said he would have to analyze how the department is functioning before he made any other changes.
"I don't want to go in there with an agenda — that would not be fair to the men and women of the department," he said.
Richards and Allen also said if they were nominated for the position, they would look at ways to make patrol officers more visible in the outlying areas of the county. Allen said officer visibility is a good deterrent to crime.
Confidence in a new leader
After the convention, voting precinct delegate Richard Oglesby, assistant chief of the Ottawa Fire Department, said he was satisfied that the process worked as it was supposed to work.
"I have all the confidence in the world that he's a man of integrity and that he'll fill the office quite well," Oglesby said of Richards. "I've known Jeff for about six years. I've found him to be a man of integrity."
Almeda Edwards, who was among the more than 100 audience members in attendance, as well as a member of the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Action Committee, said she was pleased with the Republican Party's choice.
"I'm happy for Jeff being selected," she said. "I've worked with him on a lot of committees, and I think that Jeff is a real fine person, and I think it's a good selection."
Hunting said he was optimistic that the highest professional stands of law enforcement are going to be demonstrated and exhibited by Richards.
"I'm very happy for him, and I'm very pleased for the law enforcement community and the citizens of Franklin County." Hunting said.
After convention chairman Barker announced the results, Richards shook hands with Allen, and he told the committee he was humbled by their vote of confidence and looked forward to serving the citizens of Franklin County.
"I believe our county, in general, and the sheriff's department, specifically, needs a strong, ethical leader to move us through and past this current situation," Richards told the committee members during his opening remarks. "I am that leader. I want to continue to serve my community and will use my training and experience to help guide us through this rebuilding time."
Bobby Burch, Herald staff writer, contributed to this report.

Seattle chef Tom Douglas trying to save July 4 fireworks showon April 2, 2013 @ 12:03 pm (Updated: 10:35 am - 4/5/13 )
One Reel, producers of the annual show, bowed out this week when a fundraising goal of $500,000 fell far short by its April 1 deadline.
"I, as a businessperson, am happy to jump in line and help financially, but it needs some organization," said Douglas, co-host of KIRO Radio's Seattle Kitchen. "One Reel has made it clear that they're out, that they feel like it's too late in the game to organize this, but I think that's nonsense, I think we can figure this thing out."
Douglas and KIRO Radio's Dave Ross led a fundraising campaign to save the fireworks show in 2010, with Douglas donating $5,000. It raised $500,000 in one day.
And he says there's no reason the money can't be quickly raised again.
"That's less than $1 per person. That's 100 businesses jumping in at $5,000 a piece. That's 100,000 people showing up at the park and paying $5 to get in. There are a lot of ways to get $500,000," he told KIRO Radio's Ron and Don in an interview Tuesday afternoon.
Douglas said he's not leading a new effort to revive the fireworks for this year, but he'll gladly help. He's putting his money where his mouth is, doubling his previous donation with $10,000. And he's asking 100 other businesses to pledge $5,000 each to reach this year's fundraising goal.
Douglas said he'd like to see One Reel step back in and produce the show this year if the donations can be quickly raised, then step aside on July 5 if the non-profit doesn't want to go through this again.
"I think that, honestly, the city needs to step in," declared Douglas. "This is a city event for the people of Seattle and the city needs to step up and take some responsibility for this. They didn't put up a dime."
Mayor Mike McGinn issued a statement Monday:
"Fourth of July fireworks at Gas Works Park has long been supported by private funds. It is unfortunate that the event does not appear to be working out this year as it traditionally does at Gas Works Park. I will be meeting with local business leaders and stakeholders to discuss options."
Douglas said he'll gladly start compiling a list of potential donors via email and present those to the mayor in hopes of convincing the city to take part in saving the fireworks show, for at least this year. If you want to make a donation, you can contact Tom at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Knights of Badassdom trailer is aptly named!!!
So I don't care that The Knights of Badassdom looks like all the awesomely hilarious LARPing scenes from Role Models blended with a touch of Evil Dead; Its the fact that Peter Dinklage is in another movie! I have said it before and Ill say it again….I dont care if every script in Hollywood has to be rewritten to include the fact that he is an achondroplastic dwarf, but Peter Dinklage should star IN EVERY MOVIE MADE as long as he is alive!!! He is absolutely my favorite actor. I have to see this movie as its bound to be a future classic. Enjoy the comicon preview!

Michael whacked me in the face with a Lego contraption today. Pretty damn hard, actually. When I asked him to say "sorry", he said, "I don't want to say 'sorry'. How about 'give up!'?"
I think I'm ready to surrender.
December 25, 2003
Why does a search for "Tony Chor" (not that I'm vain) on Google put Duffer Geek higher than tonychor.com? What's up with that?
I'm going to have to start a concerted campaign to get links to my site so this site goes up in the rankings. Dammit.
Hope you all had a great Christmas. Lots of loot, grandparents doting on kids, and tons of yummy food lead to a very relaxing Christmas at the Chor home.
Helped Mom buy a new cellphone today. Amazon and AT&T will give you a Motorola V60i MK2 (the hot phone from about two years ago) with $200 cash -- they give you $200. Of course, you need to sign up for two years of service... Still, crazy economics.
December 22, 2003
Michael's mind works in miraculous ways. On the eve of the eve of the eve of Christmas, we were talking about Jesus and how he's the "Son" in the "Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
Michael says, "I get it. The sun is made of cheese. That's why Cheesus is the sun."
Wow. I would never have come up with that.
Andrew, on the other hand, wants me to explain what the Holy Spirit is and how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all part of the same God. Back to Catholicism for Dummies.
I love Christmas music. I really do. So, we were listening to Christmas songs on the radio the other day. As usual, My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music came on.
It strikes me as very odd that this has become a Christmas song. What is Christmasy about it? I'm not sure why a song from a show about a family running from Nazis has somehow become a Christmas song.
And why does Barbara Streisand sing Christmas songs? I like Jews. Some of my best friends are Jews. It just seems weird that a Jewish person has a Christmas album. Of course, that might explain the connection between The Sound of Music and Christmas. I guess everything comes back to the Nazis with the Jewish. Even Christmas songs. The great Jewish conspiracy hard at work again...
Ah, the holidays and the obligatory Christmas lights. There is only one word to describe the massive lighting displays in our neighborhood -- craptacular. This is yet another flash of brilliance from The Simpsons and describes the light polluting and electricity sucking inflatable snowman and flashing light hell perfectly.
I admit we've been sucked into the light-up-the-house thing, but I'd like to think our display is relatively tactful -- just a few white lights with no blinking, chasing.
Craptacular. What a great word.
Merry Christmas!
December 15, 2003
Last weekend was the Microsoft Windows Holiday Party. Lots of drunken merriment was had by all. Incriminating photos can be found on my friend Vinny's website -- Pasceri.com.
More details to come.

GPS' are super cool. I've been carrying a Garmin eTrex for a while to put GPS coordinates into the photos I've taken. This is part of the WWMX Project from Microsoft Research. It's very slick.
One of the cool side effects of always carrying a GPS is that I can see where I've been. It's been neat to see my paths charted out. Now, people with too much time and money have started drawing pictures by moving along the streets of their town with a GPS. The resulting tracks make words 70 miles high, etc. Kind of neat. Check out http://www.gpsdrawing.com.
I should note that this entry and the food simulator entry come from today's New York Times Magazine. This issue has a fun article on the "Ideas of 2003". Other "winners" were things like the "Nicotini", "PowerPoint Makes You Dumb" (a view I have expressed for years...), and more crazy Japanese inventions like "Spray-On Stockings."
I love gadgets as much (probably more) than the next guy. I also love food. What to do when the two collide? Well, not this. This is the "Food Simulator." It's a horrible abomination that has a force-feedback sensor to approximate bite, a delivery tube that sends chemical flavors, and a speaker to emulate the sound.
We have enough fake food already. This is the horrible and unfortunately logical end to the increasing distance between people and our food. Yuck.
I ran across this cool snowflake maker on Make-a-Flake. Totally random, but nicely done and pretty fun. There are some very nice flakes in their gallery too. This is my first flake. Check it out and link to your cool flakes in the comments on this thread!

I had a disturbing preview of Michael as a crotchety old man today. After I woke him up from nap, we was very cross with me. Fearing for my life, I put him down at which point he slowly tottered down the hall away from me, mumbling to himself, "stupid Daddy, dumb, dumb, dumb, stupid, dumb, hate you, dumb, dumb, stupid..."
December 4, 2003
We lost power today due to high windstorms in the area. I'm using my last remaining laptop juice and am connecting through a pokey analog connection. It's amazing how isolated I feel (and cold -- no heat...) I'm so wired 99% of the time that being cut off is a little disorienting. Kind of pathetic really.
It's also amazing how quiet it is in the house without all the motors, fans, and high frequency buzz in the house. I don't normally even hear it except when it's not there. It may not be bad for you, but I'm sure it's not good.
Hopefully, we'll get power back shortly. It's been 8.5 hours already. I'm going through withdrawal and will lose my methadone fix once my laptop battery dies. Can I survive until the morning when I get back into work? We'll see.
Since we didn't have power this evening, I took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and some fun. I also owed this to Andrew since got to page 100 in his workbook at school.
Anyway, if you haven't been before (or haven't been since you were a kid), Chuck E. Cheese is a pizza joint with games and big kid-sized-habitrail setups. They also have a scary, syrupy stage show of animatronic animals in a band and a full sized Chuck E. Cheese guy in costume that will likely result in nightmares for me and the boys this evening. I seem to recall it being a more regular arcade when I was growing up, but now it caters to young children (like lower elementary).
As you walk in, you have to get your hand stamped in special ink so they can verify you're leaving with the right kids (like I'd want to take more kids than I came with?!) This is a nice idea in principle and makes people feel OK to let their four year olds run around unattended while the Stepford wives chat amongst themselves. However, since we managed to leave tonight without being checked and Michelle has seen unstamped adults leaving with kids, it's clearly not as robust a a scheme as you'd think. I never let Michael out of arm's reach and scan for Andrew every thirty seconds.
The games are a mix of arcade games for little kids and midway style machines that return tickets depending on how well you do. If you get a few thousand tickets at a quarter a pop, you can cash them in for great prizes like Matchbox car knockoffs and bad candy. A bargain at twice the price.
Half the games are broken. The floor is dirty from a million 4-5 year olds running around in their socks and bare feet, spilling soda. The whole place makes me want to take a Lysol shower afterwards. I just get the willies being there.
Worst of all, my kids love the place. Just love it. They can't wait to go back. So, we'll go back.
December 2, 2003
My phone rang late this afternoon. I could tell from the caller ID it was Michelle. I pick it up.
M: "Baking soda on kitchen fires, right?"
T: "Yes"
M: -click-
Fortunately, there was only a minor oven fire with no damage. More important, the lamb chops turned out very well so no harm done.

Grayhound - Three masted lugger & privateer
Three Masted Lugger Grayhound
Come sailing on the first three masted lugger to be built in Britain for 200 years. The building of Grayhound was a bold project and thousands of people followed the 2 years of Herculean effort that created an ocean going lugger in a Cornish boatshed. The aim was to create a unique wooden vessel that could be family home, training ship and exciting charter vessel. With a design inspired by a Cornish privateer from 1776, the wooden replica Grayhound was launched in August 2012 in front of a huge crowd. She is now up and running with her first charter guests, and completed an Atlantic circuit over 2013 and 2014.
At 108ft total sparred length and a very distinctive sail plan, it won't be long before all the ports in the West Country and France can recognise this strikingly different wooden ship.

The Proving of Grayhound Sailing Across the Atlantic to the Caribbean Part 1 and Part 2
Trade Wind Circuit and Ocean Cruising
Grayhound completed her first Atlantic Ocean circuit this summer, which was phenomenonly successful. She competed in Antigua Classics and gave hundreds of sailors a wonderful voyage of a lifetime. In 2015 she will be offering a mix of 7 night voyages based primarily in and around Devon and Cornwall. There are two 7 day voyages from which to choose, and a daysail.
Voyages from Dartmouth will concentrate on coastal hopping along the Devon and Cornish coastline, with the ever present opportunity to hop across the channel.
Voyages from Falmouth will primarily aim to reach the Isles of Scilly and island hop amongst the granite isles. If this is not possible, due to the weather, then she will cruise in Cornish waters, or hop across to Brittany.
Finally, there are 2 day sails from Dartmouth, aimed at those who are not quite sure if sailing, or lugger sailing is for them. These taster voyages are a great introduction, and make for excellent gifts.
If you have always hankered after that dream to sell up and sail, then we can bring you the feel of ocean wandering and island hopping on a wooden boat, without having to sell your house or give up the day job. With only 8 guest crew, 4 professional crew and young Malachi this is a totally different ship board community and vibe to a large tall ship. A truly shared experience.

The Vision - Marcus, Freya and Malachi
Marcus Rowden and Freya Hart are the visionaries behind the project, and Classic Sailing team are extremely proud to have the chance to promote their incredibly bold project to build and sail a replica of the 1776 three masted Cornish Lugger "Grayhound." They are looking forward to showing you their favourite sailing destinations and they are keen on exploring ashore with you too.
Read more about Marcus, Freya and the youngest sailor on board - Malachi and why they want you to join them exploring the planet aboard their home of wooden walls.
"Traditional seafaring reveals people to themselves in a way today's technically orientated sailing never can. Grayhound seems to me the epitome of looking life full in the face. She represents an enterprise of shocking boldness. The nation should be proud of young people with a vision on this scale and the fortitude to see it through." Tom Cunliffe
Sailing a Lugger - What to Expect
Grayhound has a huge bowsprit and outrigger so her total sparred length is 108ft. 3500 square foot of sail can drive her fast hull at speeds over 14 knots. The main and foremast carry large lug sails and above topsails and t'gallants can be hoisted. Unlike a square rigger this lugger is no slouch to windward. She will be a thrill to race at festivals from Looe to Antigua, but the beauty of this lug rig is its versatility. There are no booms at deck level. Her lug sails can be reefed. Her sail balance allows her to sail without a jib on the bowsprit. Her topmasts can be brought down for ocean crossings.
The deck has room for two ships boats and still loads of space to stride about or tuck into a sheltered spot. There is a spacious 'doghouse' with big windows so you can dip out of the rough weather or tropical sun and not miss the scenery. The sails are no heavier to hoist than our other gaffers but hoisting the topsail and t'gallant yards requires well co-ordinated teamwork.
The has a big tiller but small block and tackles on each side of the tiller make it easy to steer whilst standing a couple of feet from the tiller, so you can look down the deck and check the sail trim or get a better view ahead.
Working Language is English
This was a one day trip that was a fantastic experience. My previous sailing has been in yachts and it was awesome to sail with wood and canvas. A truely fantastic and privileged experience to sail as they did 200 years and more ago."
Dartmouth day sailor Stephen June 2013
Virgin Lugger Sailors - Read Adam and Debbies blog about their first trip on Grayhound Lugger.
Ideal for Families and Solo Travellers
We think Grayhound would be one of the best vessels in our fleet for family holidays. Her accommodation is designed with flexibility in mind and there are two seperate cabins which could take family groups of 4-5 members. Two families could sail together with a cabin each, or one family could have the privacy of their own cabin whilst sailing with 4-5 individuals in the other cabin. Without a family on board she can take 8 individuals in two cabins.
On all overnight Grayhound voyages there will be 2 berths available for 5 - 15 year olds at a reduced price. There is also the possibility for 2 under 5's to share with a parent, in extra large bunks, for no extra fee.
Why Sail or Build a Lugger ?
As a sailing rig it is beautiful, efficient, fast, simple and it works. It was the choice rig of both the revenue and smuggling vessels of the 18th Century. Yachtsman Pete Goss proved a 37ft lugger could still hold its head high in the modern sailing world by sailing 'Spirit of Mystery' from Newlyn to Australia in 2008. The shipwright for 'Spirit of Mystery' was Chris Rees and he is now the chief shipwright for the much larger lugger 'Grayhound.'
The lugsail is an evolved version of the classical square sail. As you can see in the photo opposite of the French Lugger, the sails have a tiered appearance, a stunning spectacle in any port. In both rigs, the upper side of the sail is attached to a spar, the yard .The great advantage of the Lug rig is that when the sails are up there are no spars at deck level, just sail cloth. The lugsail was the earliest of the fore and aft rigs. There are different types of Lug Rig. The Grayhound will use the standing lug, in which the yard remains on one side of the mast and the tack is set close to the mast. On long tacks we will use the dipping lug on the fore mast.
History of Grayhound 1776 - Revenue Cutter & Privateer
The lugger Grayhound was built by the celebrated builder of fast coastal craft - John Parkin. He build cutters and luggers for both the revenue authorities and for the smugglers. It seems likely that the original Grayhound was built in Cawsand in Cornwall. She seems to have been built to the order of John Knill, Collector of Customs in St Ives. He hired her to act as an anti smuggling customs vessel.
Her terms of duty as a revenue cruiser was quite short due to the Declaration of Independance by our North American colonists. The ensuing war with America and France, gave attractive opportunities for privateers. John Krill bought the vessel out of customs service and had her fitted out as a privateer. In 1778 she recieved her letters of marque allowing her to take enemy ships as prizes for profit.
She carried 14 carrige guns, 3 pounders and 8 swivel guns. Under the command of Richard John she was manned by a crew of 47 !
Read more about the history of the original Grayhound
The Big Build
Grayhound was built in a village boat yard in an obscure Cornish Creek, yet people of all ages and nationalities were drawn magnetically to the project. Almost everyone that came down for a look was bowled over by the ship and the frenetic pace of the building. The BBC and radio prgrammes came down to cover the family angle of a young couple bringing up a baby amongst the powertools, apprentice shipwrights and sawdust.
Over 68 000 have watched the time lapse movie of Grayhound being built on You Tube.
2000 of the 4000 wooden trenails made to build the ship were sponsored by members of the public. These wooden 'nails' will outlast any metal fastening, but they all have to be made by hand. Thank you to everybody who sponsored a trenail for £5 with a message on your nail. The personal messages have now been built into the ship from as far afield as the Falklands and South Georgia.

The Launch of Grayhound
Grayhound was launched on 'Super Saturday' 4th August 2012, on the day that Britain won 6 gold medals.
About 2000 people ignored the Olympics and came to Grayhound's launch. The day was filled with sunshine, drama, sword fighting, singing and friendship. If you missed the UK wooden boat building event of the summer, then read Debbie's account of the Grayhound Launch Party and see the photos.

The Crew
On board there will be Marcus , Freya and Malachi and three crew. Marcus 43, grew up on the River Dart and has been sailing and surfing all his life. Marcus has been a yacht delivery skipper for many years, a marine engineer and boat builder. He has built and sailed his smaller dipping lugger single handed across the Atlantic. Freya , 29 is the cook on board. She is an Ocean Yacht Master and has sailed on her own boat around the Atlantic. She is also into her art and makes canvas bags as well as maintaining the sails. She has worked in youth sail training on the South Coast.
The Grayhound will be able to accommodate up to eight people on a voyage and up to twelve people for a day sail. If we are hosting an event alongside we can take many more people on board. Bunks are dormitory style with a shower and toilet. There is a communal eating area down below with a wide opening hatch so we can star gaze while eating. In hot climates we will be eating alfresco. We have a deck house which is a chill out area and where the crew navigate. We will provide bed linen and heavy wet weather and safety gear. Being a new build, Grayhound has that amazing brand new feel to her. She smells of dry wood and pine forests. The ship will have a solar powered ventilation system to keep the cabins fresh and airy in tropical climates, or when the hatches are shut for rough seas.

Game Preview: Sonoma Dragons vs. Healdsburg Greyhounds
Posted By Ray Sullivan On October 13, 2011 @ 7:58 am In Sports | Comments Disabled
Friday night (October 14) at Arnold Field 7:30 pm (JV 5:00 pm)
Surface: Natural Grass
Colors: Green, Black and White.
2011 record: 3-2 (0-1 SCL)
Returning Starters: 6
Head Coach: Mick O'Meara (28th season) 165-127-6
Last week: Lost to Windsor 53-7 on the road
Colors: Cardinal and Black.
2011 record: 5-1 (2-0 SCL)
Returning Starters: 13
Head Coach: Tom Kirkpatrick (19th season) 159-54-1
Last Week: Defeated Analy 47-20 on the road
Last meeting: 2010- Healdsburg won 39-7 at Recreation Park
Friday's contest: The Dragons come into tonight's homecoming contest after two weeks on the road that couldn't have yielded different results. After blowing out Elsie Allen, the Dragons were blown out by Windsor in a hard-hitting game that may leave the Dragons with some lingering injury concerns.
Another concern might be how the two teams fared against their only common opponent to-date, Terra Linda. The Dragons scraped out a last-minute 21-17 win over the Trojans in the season opener while the 'Hounds thumped the Trojans 41-14 the following week. The 'Hounds lone loss came in a 34-31 defeat at the hands of Fortuna (5-1).
Senior quarterback Sam Morgan, who was averaging 156 yards passing per game prior to the Windsor contest, is still searching for a complimentary receiver to take the pressure off of Christopher Swanson (18 catches, 428 yards).
Senior Max Offerman directs the Healdsburg attack and he has been solid, passing for 850 yards and eight touchdowns while completing nearly 60% of his passes. Charlie Conrad and Richard Grant are Offerman's primary targets and the ground attack is led by Gerardo Cervantes (564 yards on 84 carries and six touchdowns). The Greyhounds are averaging 346 yards per game of total offense.
On defense Adam Hendrickson leads the way with 6.8 tackles per game and is supported by the duo of John Etchell and Nick Mariani.
Fun Facts: Coming into the season Greyhound coach Tom Kirkpatrick has never had a losing season and with last week's win he now has stretched that streak to 20 years. Starting linebacker Hendrickson (5'9", 165) is an All-State wrestler, but sheds nearly 20 pounds by wrestling season.
