Hello Everyone,
Recently I visited Samrat Circus which was playing in the nearby city. Although, this is one of the smaller circuses, it is planning to expand. And this is really a good news. In this adverse time for circuses, when they are shutting down, the news that some circuses are progressing, is always a happy news. And with the support of viewers only such a thing can happen. Let's hope, most circuses revive and achieve success.

CakeSpy Undercover: Little T American Baker in Portland, OR
If there's anything we love, it's getting reader suggestions for bakeries we should visit.
If there's anything we love, it's getting reader suggestions for bakeries we should visit.
There's no delicate way to put it: this pastry, purchased at Hess Bakery in Tacoma, kind of looks like a mound of poop. A delicately swirled mound of poop, mind you.
What makes up this mountain of yum? Well, what you've got is a bottom layer of yellow cake, topped with a mound of cake crumbs mixed with buttercream, which is then topped by a cascade of rich chocolate which is firm but yielding (not crunchy) when you bite into it.
However, what is unclear is the confection's story and name. It being that it was purchased from a German bakery, it likely has Teutonic roots; the bakery employee I spoke to called it a "granachebitter" -- but I am spelling this phonetically as she was not sure how it was spelled and the baker was not around to field questions. It's possible that I mis-heard and the first part was "ganache" (which seems like it would make sense), but I am not sure!
When it comes to wedding or fancy occasion cakes, I am sad to admit that I usually don't have very high hopes. Often, the look trumps the taste, which can range from oversweet to too-dry to simply flavorless. This assessment is based on having tasted quite a few wedding cakes in my time--including the five at my own wedding (no, really).
So when the owners of Starry Nights Catering & Events in Kirkland recently invited me over to their commercial kitchen to try out their cakes, I have to confess to feeling slightly wary. They assured me their cake was the best, but doesn't everyone say that? No way were we going to miss the chance to see for ourselves, so Cake Gumshoe Kris and I headed over.
They do cakes by custom order--mostly wedding cakes, but they also do party or occasion cakes too. In fact, they were working on the pretty Mother's Day Cake shown at the top of the post when we arrived.
We both tried a tentative forkful. I tried the Elegant Lemon first. Upon taking a bite, the lemon taste hit almost immediately, yet it was not overpowering--neither too sweet nor too tart. The creaminess of the frosting and added hint of raspberry were a perfect complement; the butter dissolved perfectly into the cake as it melted in your mouth. Sweet thoughts swirled in my mind, finally settling on a buttercreamy, sweet conclusion: this is good cake. Looking at Kris, I could tell she agreed. Yum.
We sampled the rest of the flavors, and found that while certainly we each had flavor preferences, it was clear that each and every one of them had a well balanced, not too-sweet flavor, and incredibly moist cake.
For more information or to schedule a cake consultation, visit starrynightscatering.com. Check out their flavors here; you can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter!
Both Kelli and Andrew have always had a dream of opening up a bakery (a restaurant in Andrew's case, but close enough). They are not afraid to say that they are still amateurs in the pastry world. But in a way, Lovescool is a documentation of a journey to discover what sweet things are out there, why people love them so much, and perhaps what it takes to start something new. And the fact of the matter is, the world would be a lot better if it was just a touch sweeter.
Their dream of opening a cafe was realized in October 2007, when the shop opened its doors at 171 3rd Avenue. They garnered accolades from the likes of the New York Times and Time Out New York; the cafe seating was frequently all taken, with lines going out the door. However, it wasn't enough to make it all work, as owner Kelli said in a letter last week on her site, citing that largely because of the failing economy, the shop would be closing its doors on April 19, 2009.
Got a green tea cupcake and a peanut butter chocolate. The green tea tasted a bit bitter--definitely an acquired taste for a cupcake, not awful though. The peanut butter had a good balance of sweet and salty--erring on the sweet side.
They were nice, but a bit mournful. People kept remarking about them closing.
Also got some "tea cookies" although should have had them with tea- very dry. The green leaf one is green tea. The square is white tea strawberry (definitely the best) and the other is almond chai.
At this point Amai's future is unclear, but we're all very happy that we got to experience a little piece of their story.

The other day a friend and I took a trek over to the Eastside to try some of the bakeries over there. One of the ones I was most curious about was Sweet Cakes, a cupcake shop that opened about 4 months ago.
Walking into this bakery, I was really pleased to see that they had more than just cupcakes--as much as I love cupcakes, I do adore other sweets too, and they had a nice variety of baked goods, including yummy-looking bars, cookies, and morning pastries. But of course the cupcakes were front and center--after all, they are the prettiest of all sweets!
We picked up a couple of mini cakes ($1.50 each), including the red velvet, chocolate mint, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting and chocolate-frosted vanilla cake.
We didn't eat all of them (after devouring a couple of them, we gave the rest to our friend Nicole, who owns Immortal Dog), but we did like what we tasted. The red velvet in particular was very nice. They weren't really "fancy" cupcakes, but upscale-homey; these are the type of uncomplicated cupcakes that kids would love, but that sweet-loving adults could enjoy as well. The frosting was buttery-smooth, and the cake was very moist and fresh. Overall, I'd say Kirkland is lucky to have Sweet Cakes. It's definitely worth a stop if you happen to find yourself on the Eastside!
Sweet Cakes, 128 Park Ln., Kirkland WA; online at sweetcakeskirkland.com.
When I tell people how much I love North Hill Bakery, I'm constantly surprised that they don't know about this little gem in Capitol Hill. Even residents of the Hill often don't know about it. I think their birthday cakes are spectacular though, and always recommend them to friends.
And I was very happy to see that a friend followed my advice on a recent birthday, buying their "Grandma's Chocolate Cake" but choosing to frost it with raspberry buttercream instead of the regular fudge frosting. Good call--the raspberry was refreshing and a nice contrast against the rich, decadent chocolate cake, and the color was so pretty.
For chocolate lovers, the off-the-menu version of Grandma's Chocolate cake is a study in chocolate excess: that is to say, extremely delicious. A little goes a long way, but oh how enjoyable that little bit can be.

Finally, I made it over to Pauline's when they were actually open (their hours are strange--closed Mondays and not open til 12 on some days).
Unfortunately, even when I arrived at 12.30 it looked like the cases hadn't yet been filled--kind of a bummer in such a small place (I like a well-stocked bakery case--part of the fun is looking before you buy, no?). However, the cookies that they did have out looked tempting, so I chose a Linzer tart. It was an adorable fruit-filled cookie sandwich with a sweet heart cutout, and a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
The cookie was buttery and sweet--subtle, but very good. If I had to make one change, I might have put slightly less powdered sugar on top, but this is likely because I'm a messy eater. The jam in the middle was the perfect complement to the rich, buttery cookie. And at $1.25, it was a steal!
I've been told that the cupcakes, scones and tarts are also worth a try--based on what I've tasted, I am definitely interested enough for a return trip!
Pauline's, 2315 NW Market St., Ballard; (206) 588-8098.
Today I made a new discovery: Hot Cakes at the Ballard Farmer's Market. It's a small operation run by Autumn Martin, of Canlis and Theo Chocolate fame; the limited menu consists of just three types of cakes: the "Ari Cole", a ready-to-bake molten chocolate cake which can be baked at home or at the market for you; the "Josephine", an almond-rum financier; and one savory option, the "Dean Martin", a savory consisting of dates, bleu cheese and bacon.
I tried a sample of the "Josephine", which I thought made a very pleasant morsel--buttery, lightly nutty and with a taste of rum which didn't hit me right away, but was rather a pleasant lingering aftertaste. Apparently it's a hot seller at the market, and with good reason--this would be an ideal breakfast or teatime cake, à mon avis.
Hot Cakes are available Sundays at the Ballard Farmer's Market; according to the website, they are now available at the Theo Chocolate retail store as well. For more information, visit autumnmartin.com.
When it comes to cream puffs, I like mine a little bit more dense--that is to say, full of cream filling and generously iced. The delicate ones that have a mere dollop of filling have never been my cup of tea.
I was thrilled to find that Gelatiamo does cream puffs just the way I like them: a delicate pastry filled with luxuriously thick cream, and topped with sweet icing. The pistachio cream puff was subtle and didn't overwhelm; however, I liked the fact that it didn't have the typical chocolate icing ; also, the slight crunch from pistachio bits on top didn't hurt. And in keeping with the "small bite" trend, these cream puffs aren't huge, so are a perfect portion for after lunch or dinner.
Pistachio cream puff, Gelatiamo downtown.
I love these cookies. Whether they're called snowballs, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Armenian sugar cookies or whatever--I love them.
I found this variation--the vegan Russian Teacake--at PCC. I can't be sure, but it *might* be from Flying Apron. It was a crumbly and slightly messy cookie, but the sandy, sugary, nutty taste was pure deliciousness. With a touch of salt (so important to sweets!) it was nicely balanced; in fact, I liked this cookie so much I went back for a second one. As for the vegan aspect, to be honest, if it hadn't been labeled as such, I probably would not have known that it lacked dairy; certainly there was nothing lost flavorwise.

Only 20 days later and she makes it back….
It's March 26th and guess what? It's snowing in Ohio. I really find this to be annoying. I've been wearing a winter coat for five months now. Please put me out of my misery!
I just want to throw on a sundress and flip flops and head out the door. Ugh!
A friend wants me to move to Florida. It's sounding better and better that's for sure.
The good news about the fact that it's still snowing is that I'm not ready to unveil this "beachbody"!
My last plan failed because I didn't stick with CrossFit. I LOVED the cardio part of it – wall balls, box jumps, kettlebell swings, etc.. Yes, sign me up for all of that. But, the bar work…oh the bar. Cleans, Power Jerks, Snatches….ummm what? I just struggled with the form and technique and ended up not signing up after the trial period. I didn't like having the anxiety of not being able to do some of the stuff. I've been into fitness for a long time now, so it's hard to accept not being able to do something. And yes, I could've stuck with it and I probably would've gotten better, but I'm good with taking classes and working out at my regular gym for now.
I think that's why I haven't posted much. I don't like admitting when I don't follow through on something and quit. It's not an attractive trait. However, sometimes in life it happens and as you all know, F2BF is about being real and upfront about things; good and bad.
Speaking of being real… Here's life recently:
I've thoroughly been enjoying life. Spending time with my girlfriends, going out, eating what I want, and meeting crazy boys… what's not to love?! But when you're focused to be fat… you can't be focused to be fit, right!?
Now, don't get me wrong, I still workout and I still do eat good – just not as diligently as I used to.
I've also been drinking tons of Shakeology, going to Turbo, and lifting in the mornings. I'm not a total trainwreck here, people!
Now that it's Spring,
but not really because it's snowing I know I need to get bikini ready. I bought 21 Day Fix Extreme and it's in the trunk of my car. Good place, right?! I think I'm going to start it in April. I did 21 Day Fix and had such success that I know I'd have the same if not better with Extreme. Would anyone want to join me? Check out the program here.
I'll also be blogging more. For a while I thought the posts I was writing started to be boring for readers, such as 'How The Week Went Down' where I talked about my food and fitness for the week, but I enjoyed doing it and it kept me on track, so I'm going to bring that back once in a while.
I also am in contact again with organicgirl to create recipes and reviews for them and also was just asked to write and review for Blue Diamond Almonds, so you'll be seeing them on here, too.
I really enjoy writing lifestyle posts, like my most recent one, so I plan to have more of those once in a while, too.
I need to shift my focus from boys and booze to bikinis and blogging!

lovely ring
By Mugs
from Timmins
The ring looks lovely with the point of the heart facing your fingertips. The diamonds are very small so there is not tons of sparkle but they do shine and reflect light when you move your hand. It looks great paired up a rose gold bracelet/bangle and/or rose gold watch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thankful For A Lost Loved One's Gift
A gift is a funny thing;
It doesn't have to be money.
It doesn't even have to be something that they leave for us on purpose, like something mentioned in a will.
It doesn't have to be big;
you know, like the movies where somebody gets a "Christmas Wish" & changes her entire life & history, well, it doesn't have to be like that.
It can be free, & accidental or serendipitous, & small, & it can mean the world & we can be deeply thankful for it.
My Uncle Sterling (unbeknownst to me because I wasn't there at the time) was the brother to whom his siblings turned for advice.
He was Papa's (his father/my grandfather) favorite;
he was my father's wiser older brother.
Then Sterling joined the Army during WWII & was shipped overseas, & my grandparents got that dreaded telegram, "missing presumed dead".
Nearly a year later, he was found in a hospital in England, unable to remember how he got there.
When he got back to Texas, he planted trees.
He planted a pine tree & a bunch of pecan trees at his parents' place, & they all grew (Sterling had a green thumb; my grandmother *never* planted anything; she'd get Sterling to plant it!)
but he never was the same as he had been before the war.
By the time I came along, Sterling was the brother who lived with Mama & Papa & worked odd jobs in construction because he couldn't do anything else.
Had he been a soldier today, we'd know he couldn't stand the stress, we'd call it PTSD, & we'd be kinder to him.
but I adored him.
When I was *tiny*, he'd carry me from my parents' house to my grandparents' house (nearly a block!) for supper.
& he'd spend hours with me, sitting on his mother's sofa telling me stories about the postcards & photos in that big box that usually stayed in a spare bedroom.
In the autumn, I'd pick up pecans from under those trees, & Sterling would shell them for Granny to make pies.
Sterling died in 1962 in a construction accident, & my parents, who had moved away, moved back & built a house on the lot across the street so they could help my grandparents.
Two of Sterling's big pecan trees stood on that lot.
I climbed them when I was a girl,
& I climbed a ladder & put a baby mockingbird back in his nest, & got pecked in the head for my trouble, when I was a teen.
During the 60's, I stood on the big lowermost bough in my mini-skirt, striking a "Mod" pose, & had my mother take "fashion" shots (for my model's portfolio!)
The years rolled by, & my grandparents died & their house was sold;
then my father died.
When my mother got so frail that she couldn't go outside, my brother set up a bird feeder under the trees, & she'd sit at the window & watch the birds & squirrels.
Then one day about 14 years ago, she called me & asked me to come rake her yard.
so I drove 55 miles & raked that yard, & when I asked her what she wanted me to do with all the pecan leaves, she said, "Throw 'em in the trash!"
You just can't say something like that to a dedicated, semi-obsessed gardener!
I stuffed them into my Corolla & drove them back that 55 miles & used them for mulch in the garden.
& on Thanksgiving Day I ate the first pecans from the first crop produced by the trees that grew from from that mulch, from pecans dropped by my Uncle Sterling's trees.
It brought a whole world back to me.
This Thanksgiving season, what gift from a lost loved one comes to your mind?
This is a beautiful story. You are blessed to have those trees and to have had our uncle.
I visited my bet friend's grave for the first time this Thanksgiving weekend. She died July 11, 2005. I have not been able to visit her grave since her ashes were interred in 2006. I braced myself, drove 90 minutes, and went and saw the gravestone this weekend. I'm glad I did. She is buried in her family's plot in a beautiful spot in the hills. Her ashes, I mean. She is not buried at all - she is with me, her husband, daughter, parents, sisters and everyone who loves her all day every day.
I have several hostas she gave me over the years. I have kept the ground around them clear (no mulch) so I get "volunteers" every year. I plant her "hosta babies" to enlarge my hosta beds. I am thankful to her for those volunteers every summer.
What a beautiful story, Sylvia. It brought back so many memories of my Uncle Paul and the stories he would tell. Only he really understood them but all the action was living on behind those eyes of his. Today my uncle's body lives on but those memories are locked away soemwhere that no one can reach.
That is a wonderful sentiment, mommabird. I darling man befriended me years ago, he gifted me with daylilies and rhododendrons that he bred. He took me under his wing and taught me, and he lives on in my garden.
I am thankful for my Mom's instructions to give me her dog when she passed away. He's the only one who licks my tears from my face, when I'm grieving over my loss. I am thankful for a letter my mom wrote to me prior to her being sick, just because she never wanted to become sick and leave us not knowing her feelings. Although we knew her feelings all along. I am thankful for all the wonderful memories she left me with.
I'm glad you got the dog!
They're the best gifts & the best friends in the world.
A homebuyer, a psychiatric social worker, told me she encourages her often vulnerable & isolated clients to have a dog.
It's nice to see that so many of us think of living things, plants, dogs, etc, when we think of gifts.
It really does keep the loved one alive for us.
& undyinglove4diana mentions another kind of wonderful gift;
the gift of having made decisions that we're in no shape to make.
Please let your wishes be known, & *put them in writing*.
It's a vast kindness we can do for the ones we leave behind.
Darn you Silvia....I got tears rolling down my cheeks. What a beautiful & uplifting story. It's always wonderfult to find something positive out of somethine 'negative' such as a death.
As I was reading your 'prose' I wanted to buy it from you to write a script for a movie. I could just envision it in my head.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful memory !!
Bonnie aka brit5467

Trail Of Tears National Historic Trail
In 1838, the United States government forcibly removed more than 16,000 Cherokee Indian people from their homelands in Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia, and sent them to Indian Territory (today known as Oklahoma).
The impact to the Cherokee was devastating. Hundreds of Cherokee died during their trip west, and thousands more perished from the consequences of relocation. This tragic chapter in American and Cherokee history became known as the Trail of Tears, and culminated the implementation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which mandated the removal of all American Indian tribes east of the Mississippi River to lands in the West.

Hear the roar of the Twenties when talented local actors present Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Elkader Opera House in October.
The cast and crew is made up of local talent, including many with Guttenberg ties.
Cheri Moser (McGregor) has the lead road of Millie, a fast-talking and highly-determined new-New Yorker journeying to become a modern woman in the decadent year of 1922.
Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation (NEICAC) Family Service offices will start taking applications for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) beginning on Oct. 1.
If a household applied for LIHEAP in the 2013-2014 program year, applications can also be done online at: http://www.neicac.org/energy.html/
By Molly Moser
During their regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 23, the Guttenberg Municipal Hospital board of directors received a glowing report on their fiscal year 2014 audit. Joe Splinter, who presented the report on behalf of the Eide Bailly firm of Dubuque, congratulated GMH staff on a year of decreased debts and increased income. "If you look at the numbers, you're doing very, very well," Splinter told the board.

On the heels of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative annual meeting in New Orleans, attended by Guttenberg Mayor Russ Loven, comes an opportunity for area students to get involved in river patronage. Junior high students from Clayton Ridge, Central, MFL Mar-Mac and Edgewood-Colesburg school districts participated in the third annual Mississippi Riverfestival in Guttenberg early last week. The students experienced fishing and birding along the river while soaking up lessons on river ecology from area experts.
The Mississippi Riverfestival has a multitude of partners, including the Clayton County Conservation Board, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Iowa DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, and Maiden Voyage Boat Tours. Clayton County Conservation naturalist Brian Gibbs organized the event, lining up presenters and volunteers to help students get involved with the river in their backyards. "This year's event was funded by a McElroy Trust Foundation Grant from Waterloo and also by in-kind donations from Don Dunbar and Murray's Outdoor Store," said Gibbs.
My mom once taught me to crochet a basic chain, but I never absorbed the lecture on turning around—so I was doomed to spend eternity weaving one continuous strand of yarn. Thanks to a lesson from a friend, now I can turn around and do a double stitch for double the fun! (I still refuse to count my stitches. Counting will never be a part of any hobby I take up.) Like most valuable skills, learning this one came with its share of cursing, yelling and bleeding. That's just what happens when you try to keep two cats away from miles of colorful moving string.

Ballots were cast by 90 Germanfest guests who sampled beer and wine in a competition that featured Park Farm wines and ten beer entries from area home brewers.
Iowa LeCrescent, a moscato, took first place for favorite wine, with Mississippi Red coming in second. Both were supplied for the contest by Park Farm.
The beer contest ended in a tie between Tigerhawk Ale, submitted by Fred Smith, of St. Paul, Minn., and Dr. Andy Smith's Altbier.
Gary Mick
Guttenberg attorney Gary Mick was recently elected by his peers in Judicial District 1A to serve on The Iowa State Bar Association's Board of Governors. He will serve a multi-year term on the board, which is the policy-making body of the ISBA.
A native of Waverly, Mick received his B.S. degree from Cornell College, and his law degree from Creighton University School of Law, the latter in 1976. He practices with the Schuster and Mick Law Firm in Guttenberg as a general practitioner.
The 46-member Board of Governors meets quarterly to discuss and decide on issues impacting attorneys in Iowa.

Over a dozen artists from across the U.S. are currently participating in the Voices from the Warehouse District exhibit in the Historic Millwork District of Dubuque. Evan (Stickfort) Ventris, who grew up in rural Garnavillo and attended both Garnavillo and Clayton Ridge High Schools, is one of the show's featured artists.
"There is a wide variety of art on display, ranging from sculpture to paintings to site-specific installation. There are artists from around the country exhibiting their work, and a great deal of effort is put into making Voices successful each year. If you are a fan of art in general, it's worth a visit," says Ventris.
Voices is a month-long art exhibit and cultural event located in a cavernous 15,000 square foot gallery space. Voices began in 2005 as a way for the artists' voices to be heard, and quickly gathered support from the Dubuque community.
Flowing through Guttenberg is the ecological linchpin to the 37-state Mississippi River Basin. The river creates $200 billion worth of U.S. Gross Domestic Product; provides drinking water for more than 18 million people; transports 62% of our nation's agricultural output; delivers nearly 400 tons of coal and petroleum products; and directly supports one million jobs – and millions more indirectly. (Press photo by Shelia Tomkins)
Guttenberg Mayor Russ Loven joined 25 mayors in New Orleans on Sept. 17 for the unveiling of the Mississippi River Sustainable Development Fund and a partnership between the Mississippi River World Trade Center Alliance and 18 Community Foundations serving communities along the River.
The Mayors were attending a two-day annual meeting for the Mississippi River Cities & Towns Initiative (MRCTI), a mayor-led effort comprised of 65 River Mayors committed to creating a coordinated voice for the Mississippi River. MRCTI is an effort to bring national attention back to the Mississippi River—America's most critical natural asset—and spearhead a new level of regional cooperation to make it more sustainable.
"As MRCTI members, we have been able to collectively bring national attention back to America's most important river. Our livelihoods, health, and futures are all linked to the Mississippi River; and I am proud to host these Mayors as we protect and promote our precious waterway," explained New Orleans Mayor Landrieu.

Brown's Sales and Leasing in Guttenberg and Elkader, and Victory Ford in Dyersville, are coming together to celebrate with the Brown family as they observe the opening 50 years ago of Brown's Ford in Guttenberg. "As part of a year-long celebration we are sponsoring a car show and cruise that will feature local cars to be held in conjunction with Guttenberg Germanfest," said David Brown, business founder.
The three-city car show and cruise will take place Saturday, Sept. 20. There will be a "Show and Shine" from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Brown's Sales and Leasing in Guttenberg, Victory Ford in Dyersville and Brown's Sales and Leasing in Elkader.
At 11:30 a.m. the cars will cruise from Elkader and Dyersville to the parking lot at Brown's Sales and Leasing on Highway 52 in Guttenberg where they are expected to arrive by 12:30 p.m. From 1:00-3:00 p.m. the combined cars from all three dealerships will be on display and be voted on in 14 classes for trophy awards. Spectators as well as registered car owners will have a chance to vote.

Spherical Joint Stocking Makes You More Figures-Alike
Posted on July 8th, 2011 by Akky Akimoto
"Kyutai Kansetsu Sutokkingu"(Spherical Joint Stocking) is a coterie stocking sold at Bungaku Furima(=literature flea-market), a dojinshi sale dedicated for literature-related things only, by circle Ojosama Gakkou Shojo Bu(preppie school girls section). The stocking has globe joint painted on knees, to make your leg like real figure.
The stockings, 2,000 yen(US$25) seems sold out on their online shop, currently on order.
But why? I guess some people might love figures too much so that now they want to become like that. It is interesting because those joints originally showed their incompleteness of mimicking human beings.

Why Mobility is Key in Helping the Urban Poor
Healthcare, energy, education, financial services, agriculture, livelihood creation…social enterprises across the world operate in a wide span of sectors. There is a one lesser-talked-about area, however, that is vital to recognize because it affects the delivery of social impact in all of the above sectors—mobility.
If you are a social entrepreneur who has an innovative and replicable solution to local and global transportation challenges, you are eligible to win the MobiPrize: $5,000 and a trip to Rio+20 (the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, June 20-22, in Rio de Janeiro) and top-notch mentorship sessions with global experts in sectors relevant to transportation, livable and sustainable communities, business and social enterprise. The competition also will give special recognition to solutions that 1) link to and improve the whole (sustainable) transport system; 2) serve the urban poor; and 3) engage young entrepreneurs.
Mobility is not defined just as transportation, but can be seen as access. This could be a green mobility solution for the urban poor (e.g. a bike sharing service for slum dwellers), a mobility solution which employs the urban poor (e.g. SMV Wheels), an innovation that brings access to the poor (e.g. mobile health clinics, cell phone applications), or even a technology solution that would help people manage their transportation options (e.g. a GPS application targeted at the "Base of the Pyramid.")
As city regions get more congested and polluted, mobility has emerged as a very large, complex problem that affects everyone—as usual, however, the poor bare the brunt of the systemic problem. The urban poor in every country in the world are relegated to slums and tenuous settlements. This means that the issues that face the rich and middle classes – long, costly commutes, unclean air, lack of access to community spaces, and safety issues for women commuters traveling the last mile – are exponentially more problematic for the urban poor, who have fewer options. Moreover, mobility is an equally potent issue facing the rural poor, who live in villages isolated from the infrastructure that allows physical access to vital goods and services.
SMART at the University of Michigan has created the MobiPrize with the help of the Rockefeller Foundation to support a vision of the future of transportation, in which all people will be able to transport themselves in a fast, convenient, and environmentally friendly way, using multiple modes of transportation through even the last mile, updated in real-time of schedules and transportation options via mobile phones and other technologies including for fare payment. (See SMART case study here.)
Integral to the urban transformation are the social entrepreneurs who will build the scalable, replicable, and green business models to move the urban poor. "The good news is that a plethora of innovations is arising to address the challenge in all corners of the world—sometimes where you'd least expect them and against all odds. This prize honors the enterprising trailblazers of mobility and accessibility and builds a network of innovation that will transform transportation locally and globally," says Sue Zielinski, director of SMART.
The deadline for submissions for MobiPrize is April 1, 2012. Recognize yourself or a friend by applying online at www.mobiprize.com.

State board puts stamp of approval on LRGH project
CONCORD — The Health Services Planning and Review Board yesterday approved LRGHealthcare's plan to invest $4.5 million in improvements to the nursing unit at North 4, the section of Lakes Region General Hospital originally constructed in 1969. When completed the project will make the facility compatible with the addition joining the hospital and medical office building, which opened in 2011.
The project will be funded by $3.5 million in donations from the capital campaign launched in 2012 together with $1 million in operating funds. Work is expected to begin in May and be complete by February 2015.
The infrastructure of the old building, particularly the air handling system which lacks the capacity to meet the increased demands, will be replaced and low flow toilets installed throughout the building.
In keeping with the company's commitment to convert the entire hospital to single rooms, which ensures the privacy of patients and reduces the risk of infection, five beds that were lost when the addition was built will be restored in North 4, where the number of beds was trimmed from 20 to 15. Since a unit of 20 beds offers an optimal nurse-to-patient ratio, it is much more efficient to operate. Each of the rooms will have a private shower and lift system, enhancing their efficiency and safety for both patients and staff. Finally the nursing station in North 4 will be reconfigured and reconstructed to match its counterparts elsewhere in the hospital, enabling personnel to move easily from one station to another throughout the facility.

Smith Orchard named N.H. Farm of Distinction
BELMONT — Smith Orchard was recently named a New Hampshire Farm of Distinction.
The award was presented to owners Rob and Wende Richter by Governor Maggie Hassan and N.H. Commissioner of Agriculture Lorraine Merrill at the N.H. Farm and Forest Expo in Manchester.
The Richters have owned and operated the farm, which offers a variety of apples including McIntosh, Macoun and Cortland, since 1985.
Rob says that he and his wife view themselves as the caretakers of a long tradition of apple growing at the orchard, which still has many of the original McIntosh and Cortland trees planted by Charlie Smith in 1928, when he was entering his senior year at the University of New Hampshire.
He says that the 15-acre field which was planted by Smith, who was a long-time Laconia City Council member, had originally been an open pasture across the road from a large farmhouse on Leavitt Road. The farmhouse burned and was replaced by a smaller home the Smith family built.
Over the years Smith hired crews of workers to pick the apples but by the 1950s, when only the reddest fruit was considered acceptable for sale and there was no wholesale market for the rest, Smith made the novel step of opening his orchard to sell directly to the public, becoming what may have been the very first "pick-your-own'' operation in the entire state.
"He told us he made more selling that way than he did on the wholesale market. And it became very popular with people coming here and picking the orchard clean every year," says Rob.
There's even a story about the tradition of opening the orchard on a Friday. Smith told the Richters that he had so many complaints from local people that out-of-staters were flocking to the orchard and getting the best apples when it opened on a Saturday that he decided to open it a day earlier so that local people would enjoy the first picking.
As the older, full-size trees are lost to old age, (some 200 remain) the Richters are replacing them with dwarf and semi-dwarf trees and now have some 3,000 apple trees.
The smaller trees are easier to take care of and produce larger apples according to Rob, who got his start in the apple business in Madison, Maine, not far from Skowhegan, and was being groomed to take over the management of a large apple orchard there when he tore up his knee two days before the apple harvest started.
He said that he made his living in the corporate world until he moved to Laconia, where one of the first persons he met was Charlie Smith, who once he got to know about his interest in apple growing told him "you should buy this place."
He and Wende eventually did just that and Wende recalls that Smith was very helpful to them, even encouraging them to buy additional nearby land he owned that had a second pond on it so that they would always have a backup water supply for the orchard.
The orchard also sells pumpkins, mums, cider, gourds, cornstalks, and home-grown honey and on busy days provides tractor rides in and out of the orchard.
"We'd like to see this orchard stay like this forever," says Rob, who says that even with "current use" taxation at a lower rate because the land is maintained as open space, the taxes and costs of running the orchard are still so high that he and Wende couldn't continue if it weren't for their Laconia laundry and dry cleaning business.
"A lot of people look at the land and say that it's too valuable to grow apples on. But that's what it's been doing for over 80 years and we'd like to see it stay that way," he says.

Woman charged with making false report that her Rx had been stolen
GILMANTON — A former Gilmanton woman has been charged with one count of filing a false report to police after allegedly reporting a prescription for 150 30-mg killers had been stolen.
Police learned Sara Scovill, 30, formerly of 381 Mountain Road had filled the prescription and the transaction was captured on video.
Sgt. Matt Currier said police obtained a warrant for her arrest on January 17 but she had left Gilmanton. He said she knew about the warrant because he had made several attempts to reach her and had contacted people who know her.
After Gilmanton Police learned she was living in Milton, the N.H. State Police went to her residence but she refused to come out of the house for about an hour.
He said State Police waited and she surrendered about an hour after they got there.
A nearby Milton School was placed on a soft lockdown while police were at Scovill's residence.
Scovill is scheduled to appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning.She is being held on $5,000 cash bail.

Local man kicked out of Recovery Court program, returned to jail
LACONIA — After a hearing held in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division during the last week of March, Judge Jim Carroll agreed to terminate one of the Recovery Court participants.
In a ruling issued on April 8, Carroll said Mark Sargent, formerly of Gilmanton, was being terminated and returned to jail for dishonesty to the Recovery Court treatment team and the court.
"At each stage of the program, the defendant has lied about his actions until he is caught..., Carroll wrote.
Recovery Court is a year-old program administered through Horizons Counseling Center that incorporates volunteer efforts from the the Belknap County Attorney, Belknap County Restorative Justice, the Belknap County Department of Corrections as well as the N.H. Office of Probation and Parole, the N.H. Public Defenders Office and local police departments.
Those who are allowed to participate must be facing criminal charges where a guilty plea could result in incarceration. Participants must also admit to having a substance abuse problem, agree to intense alcohol and drug therapy, and perform 200 hours of community service.
Testimony for Sargent's termination came primary from Horizons Director Jacqui Abikoff and Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen.
Specifically, the court noted that Sargent falsified documents regarding his attending sobriety meetings. He was dishonest with the court and was sanctioned on January 14.
On January 21, the day he was committed to serve 30 days, the court learned he had used drugs.
Abikoff said he misrepresented his address to his probation officer and said he was living in Gilmanton when he was actually living in Franklin. One component of participating in Recovery Court is residence in Belknap County.
In addition, the Court found Sargent had made little to no effort to perform any of his community service.
Public Defender Eric Wolpin represented Sargent at the hearing and noted that he client has had issues with depression but was not being treated.
He also said that the family member who had housed him in Gilmanton was no longer willing to do so and so Sargent had moved in with his mother in Franklin.
Guldbrandsen also favored Sargent's termination. She said his lack of effort into his own rehabilitation coupled with the limited resources of the program meant not only was he unwilling to help himself, he was potentially stopping someone else from entering the program.
As to the overall program, Guldbrandsen said that while it was "too bad" that Sargent had to be terminated and returned to jail, she said there has to be accountability for Recovery Court to work.
Sargent had pleaded guilty to contempt of court of October 8, 2013 and was sentenced to serve six months in the House of Corrections. He will now serve his entire sentence but is credited with 60 days of pretrial confinement.

Elderly bank robbers hard to peg
Motives as elusive as suspects can be
In September, another of the rare older robbery suspects turned up. Michael Casey Wilson, 69, is accused of robbing a bank in City Heights and taking $107,000. In a local television interview, he said he wanted to pay off his mortgage. He pleaded not guilty to robbery charges in court.
Stuart Henry, a criminology professor and director of the School of Public Affairs at San Diego State University, said the rarity of these cases and the difficulty in discussing them collectively are what keeps them remarkable.
"Most things we can explain," Henry said. "This one is tough. What happens is the peak age for violent crime is around 18. And after the year of 18, it drops off dramatically, so that when you get into the senior years it's virtually nonexistent. You don't have (older) people committing those kinds of crimes."
