As long-term residents of Tahoe Vista we strongly support John Bergmann, Phil Thompson, and Tim Ferrell in the upcoming NTPUD Board of Directors election.
We have known John since his arrival here 35 years ago.
He was a contributor to community efforts prior to replacing Larry Sevison on the Board and has continued to be an incredibly active and supportive member of our community in that capacity. His reelection is critical to the continuation of numerous successful PUD and Parks/Recreation endeavors.
Phil has been around longer than some of the rocks in the Agate Bay quarry. His understanding of our water and sewer infrastructure design will be extremely valuable as the system renewal continues.
He is also familiar with PUD financial matters and will be a very capable replacement for Frank Mooney, the retiring director.
The final candidate we support is Tim Ferrell. Court, as a Mechanical Engineer graduate from Cal Berkeley, is definitely biased regarding Tim's continued presence on the Board.
We firmly believe that all boards created under the auspices of California's "Division 7, Public Utility District Act" should have an engineer, and preferably a Civil Engineer, on the Board. Tim must be reelected to maintain that presence in the decision-making processes.
We further support the above-listed candidates because all are independent thinkers, come from diverse educational and business backgrounds, and are adept at expressing their personal opinions rather than the potential singular opinion of a "bloc."
We appreciate those characteristics because we believe they are tantamount to well-founded decisions.
And finally, because all three candidates have businesses in our district the future of our community's infrastructure and growth is every bit as important to them as it is to us, the voting community.

18 years for woman who tried to kill husband
Dan Bates / The Herald
Renee Bishop-McKean, convicted of trying to murder her husband with an electric saw, is led into Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas for sentencing, Thursday.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Sitting next to her attorney, Ken Lee, Renee Bishop-McKean listens to Judge Eric Lucas Thursday. She received more than 18 years in prison for the attempted murder of her husband.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Judge Eric Lucas talks with Renee Bishop-McKean on Thursday regarding her sentencing and her future rights. She received more than 18 years in prison for the attempted murder of her husband.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Initially placed in the jury box, Renee Bishop-McKean is instructed to move to join her lawyer at the defense table Thursday at Snohomish County Superior Court for sentencing. She received more than 18 years in prison for the attempted murder of her husband.
Bishop-McKean was convicted last month of attempted first-degree murder in connection with a bizarre attack last year in the Everett home she once shared with her husband and their two children.
A jury was told that Bishop-McKean, 44, first tried to cut off her husband's head with a Sawzall while he slept. When that didn't work, she whacked him with a hatchet and finally clobbered him with a three-pound mallet.
The man survived the assault, mainly because of a couple of crucial mistakes on his wife's part.
Bishop-McKean denied attacking her husband. She blamed an intruder, who she said slipped through an open window.
Her husband was convinced that his wife was behind the attempt on his life. During the police investigation, evidence stacked up that the nighttime ambush wasn't spontaneous. Detectives discovered that Bishop-McKean recently purchased a new Sawzall, hatchet and mallet and stockpiled bleach, plastic sheeting and several aluminum roasting pans. They also discovered that the window Bishop-McKean claimed the intruder climbed through could only open a couple of inches.
Jurors were told that the couple had been living apart, but on the night of the assault, Bishop-McKean invited her husband back home. She convinced him to park his vehicle around the corner, bring a wet vacuum up from the basement and persuaded him that the strange noise he heard when he settled into bed was from extra blankets, when in fact it was plastic sheeting wrapped around the mattress.
Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern contended that the Everett woman plotted the murder, even if she made some mistakes carrying out the plan.
Stern on Thursday asked for the 18-year prison term. The defendant faced up to 20 years under the state's sentencing guidelines. The deputy prosecutor said his recommendation reflected the seriousness of the crime and also gave some protection to the defendant's young children.
"They'll be at a sufficient age and maturity to be able to intelligently decide how much they want their mom involved in their lives," Stern said.
Defense attorney Ken Lee told the judge that his client has suffered some physical ailments and taken medications that perhaps contributed to her behavior and lack of "normal" thinking. He said the trial never uncovered a motive for the attack, which he characterized as a half-hearted attempt at best.
"My sense is that she is not a bad person," Lee said.
He also argued that there's no evidence his client is a bad mother or that her children need to be protected from her.
"She misses her children greatly," Lee said.
Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas supported the prosecutor's recommendation. The judge said it was clear to him that the defendant made an attempt on her husband's life. He also said he was convinced that Bishop-McKean suffered from either a "mental disturbance" or "some kind of brain injury." He pointed to her past conviction about a decade ago. Bishop-McKean was charged with two crimes after she fired a gun inside an apartment in California. She told police that she shot at a wall in an effort to get her husband, then her boyfriend, out of the apartment.
Bishop-McKean didn't have anything to say to the judge before she was sentenced. She had plenty to say to reporters, though.
"Oh my God, get a life," she said to a television camera crew when she was led into the courtroom.
As she was walked out, she berated the prosecutor, calling him a liar. She also called the court system a sham.

Women's Soccer Adds Three More to Incoming Fall Class
June 21, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University women's soccer head coach Elijah Denton announces the signing of three more student-athletes who will join the Lady Falcons soccer program in August. Brittany Papaj (Sandy Hook, CT), Rebecca Kirchner (Matthews, NC) and Kaitlin Sampson (Middleton, MA) will all dawn the black and gold in just two months time.
Papaj, hailing from Newton High School, played four years of varsity soccer while tossing in a pair of varsity basketball seasons. An all-conference member at Newton playing in the midfield and on defense, Papaj also competed during five seasons in the Connecticut ODP. Her club ball outside of Newton was spent with the CUFC United Premier Team.
Kirchner, originally from Pittsfield, MA, played varsity soccer at Sun Valley High School in Matthews. The senior played defense on the back line as a stopper for the Spartans. Off the pitch, Kirchner was a member of Sun Valley's HOSA.
Sampson joins the Lady Falcons out of Middleton as a two-time member of the Massachusetts All-Star team. As a defender, Sampson played both with Masconomet Regional High School and FC Stars of Massachusetts. In her spare time, Sampson also spent time with the school's indoor track team.
The 2011 campaign begins on September 1st as the Lady Falcons host Newberry in the season opener at 4:00 p.m.

Date Reviewed: December 26, 2012
Strengths: Good low noise decent grip road/multi tire. On dry road it is smooth and quiet, in wet it is very neutral handling with low sling.
Weaknesses: Not sure so much yet, but I would not be inclined to do soft trails with it.

Date Reviewed: November 6, 2012
Strengths: Not a bad tyre. I had the 32C size that came stock with my Volpe and it suited me just fine. Rolling resistance was decent and I only got one flat before my weekend of successive flats which indicated that I needed a new pair. Total distance ridden before replacement: 2200km.
Weaknesses: They trap dirt and other debris in the treads.

Date Reviewed: April 20, 2011
Strengths: very long wearing, smooth, quiet, CHEAP!
Weaknesses: easy flats
Bottom Line:
These tires are size 700x40, and they are much more durable than the 30/32's I had.
I have a couple of years on them and the center is worn but the rest is like new.
Very easy rolling.
They do get flats easily, and I got a flat on the front 30/32 and destroyed the tube, but I rode 17 miles with the tire on the rim, including a long down hill road section, and it was fine afterwards and I continued to use the tire until the tread was nearly gone with no problems at all!
WTB tires are the only ones I buy now because they never tear out the sidewalls, and that has happened to every other brand that I have tried.
They are always cheap and if you look around you can often find them for next to noithing.

Strengths: good traction, quite, light and smooth
Weaknesses: Flats, this tire hates glass and sharp stones. I upgraded to thicker tubes but just got the 4th flat in 5 months. In Frankfurt there is lots of glass everywhere beer bottles and wine bottles. So I bought some Infinity Armadillo Tires and their best tubes that seal themselves. I ride daily and maybe drive a car once a week maybe so to many flats on these tires it is sad they are still like new.

Strengths: Tread wear, especially on pavement. Cheap. Light. Tough casing gives good handling and flat protection. Tread is great on hardpack, loose over hardpack, rock, street.
Weaknesses: Not alot of overall grip. Anything loose or slimy is advanced mountsin biking on these tires.
Bottom Line:
The tread itself works great on rock and hardpack. Not good, GREAT. There's not a ton of grip, but what's there is genuinly reliable. I go fast on these things. They aren't too bad on standing climbs, either. And the don't pack up mud too bad.
The tire is not a dedicated off road tire tho. Sand, little mud, etc will have your attention when riding these tires.
As someone who often ends up riding their trail bike on pavement, I'm tempted to get a set of these instead of the soft xc tires I usually get.

Beautiful Invitations
I have used MagnetStreet for my Save the Dates and Invitations. They have blown me away. This design is beautiful. They even called me because I accidentally made my address labels in ivory while everything else was white. Such a minimal difference and they called me to confirm that this was not done error.
Magnetstreet allowed me the personalization for the save the dates and invitations without the big price tag of working with a dealer. I was so pleased to see that they were willing to work with me to even get the specific flower I was looking for to replace their designs. I would and will definitely be using them again in the future.
Great Quality
It took months of searching for the perfect wedding invitations. I didn't want the typical cheesy invitation but was looking for something with a casual elegance. I finally came across MagnetStreet, and my fiancé and I immediately agreed on these. It was great customizing the invitation with our wedding colors (we ended up getting ours in brown). I also love the texture of the paper. This was a great find and not overpriced like others I've seen. The order arrived nine days after I placed the order and arrived in an adorable magnetic box. Definitely recommend!
Very pretty!
This invitation was so pretty and so unique, it was perfect for our wedding. They shipped within a week and are even better in person. We were able to find colors that perfectly matched our our wedding colors and the quality of the invitation is really nice. The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't make every part of the invitation exactly what color I wanted it to be. For some areas if you made Part A red then Part D had to be red as well. They still came out beautiful though and I Can't wait to mail them out!

Checked in around 1pm on a saturday. I was a bit apprehensive given the fact that Monte Carlo has a very low success rate for the trick but i thought id give it a go anyway. Got a female clerk in her mid 20s, figured she looked young and might hook it up. I put on my biggest smile and slipped her the sandwich and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She took the sandwich, saw the 20, took it out, and said, "aaand you can have that back, unless you were planning on giving it to me", which took me off guard. I was a bit nervous doing this anyway because i HATE rejection, and said oh, thanks, and took it back. In hindsight i shouldve said something smooth like "it depends on if there's any upgrades" but I just sensed she thought I was retarded and a douche for trying (probably my insecurities LOL). So, yeah, didnt work for me...
We checked in pretty late, after 5pm. The hotel seemed pretty busy since it's the Sat of halloween weekend. I didn't think it was going to work but decided to give it a shot anyways. It's Vegas afterall.
The clerk was cute and had a nice smile. I thought she's worth talking to even if we don't get the upgrade. To my surprise, she smiled when she saw the bill and returned it. But said she'll see if she could find anything nicer. To my surprise, she had us upgraded to a nice room on the 31st floor.
Reserved standard deluxe room for 2 nights. Gave the guy a $20 and asked for something nice. Gave me a high floor deluxe with pool view and a fridge. Gave me a bunch of coupons and club passes too.
Arrived around 3:30PM. Went to what appeared to be the quickest line as it was fairly crowded at check in. Clerk was a woman maybe 30 years old. Had a 4 nite res with 3 nites comped through an email from their marketing division. Figured I was already a winner so why not try the sandwich. Simply placed the $20 bill between my credit card and drivers license and asked if there might be any complimentary upgrades. Clerk put me into a deluxe room on the 30th floor with a view of the strip. Will definately try again the next time in Vegas.
My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to try to get an upgrade to a spa suite at the Monte Carlo. I slipped the clerk a $20 between my CC and my ID. I told him it was our anniversary and it was our first time in Vegas. He told us congrats and said he'd see what he could do. After conferring with his manager for a minute, he came back and upgraded us to a high floor strip view room. Not the spa suite, but a fun time regardless!!
We were offered via the Monte Carlo's player card email 3 free nites in a deluxe room because of our stay and play 6 months earlier.So we booked thru the hotel a sat to sat one week stay.We got in around 6 pm sat night,we walked up to the first available clerk.
A girl in her mid 20's.I produced my i.d. and inquired about our reservation,she said they had us booked for a one week stay in a deluxe room.I then asked if it was possible to get an upgrade to a monaco suite,i then took a folded $20 and dropped it on her keyboard.She then said well lets see what we can do.we were told that there were no monaco suites that night but starting tomorow for an additional $40/nite we could upgrade.we said ok,the next night the monaco suite was not ready till 7 p.m. so i went down to work the desk,and was promptly given that night free.
When we checked out, the casino comped us our last nite also.So in the end for a seven night stay we payed for only 3 nights (4 comped) plus the additional 4 nights of upgrades.we were charged $403, but our bill should have been $1166.
Hmmmmmmm maybe this is more of a casino comp story than a $20 tip story.
Asked clerk if there were any complimentary room upgrades available as I handed him the $20 sandwich. Got a strip view room on the 25th floor. Very helpful clerk. Also got 2 for 1 buffet coupon.
it was a friday afternoon around 3pm, saw a very cute clerk smiling so i walked up, told her my name, gave her the sandwich and she gave the 20 back saying she cant accept it, and i just asked if there is a complimentary upgrade with a strip view and she said yes there is... got the room in just seconds and she was very very nice...
I was next in line for him. It was a male and I thought he looked nice enough. I put a $20 in between my license and AX card and asked if they had any complimentary upgrades available. He looked and said no, then it got very complicated because I asked him to search for 2 rooms w/ adj. door. We ended up with 2 rooms // no adj. door and he "acted" as if he was giving me a great disc. by clacking away on his computer for like 20 minutes. He showed me his computer for the rate and it looked as though he was going to discount the rate he was showing me. I was with my 2 daughters. We ended up with 2 rooms at a normal price except it was going to go sky-hi on the weekend so the next morning I cancelled out the second room. He really didn't do anything special whatsoever, and from all the guests I spoke with, the Monte Carlo is NOT the place to ask for anything special. Either the larger rooms/suites are booked or they give them to "insiders" who have connections or pay mostly full price.
P.S. I forgot to mention, the clerk did NOT return my $20 either!!! :(
The young lady was very polite, but stated there were no complementary upgrades. She returned the $20 bill. I chose her because she just came up the front desk to work. I sandwiched the $20 between my credit card and ID and inquired with a smile whether a complimentary upgrade was available. I knew going in the Monte Carlo had a reputation for declining upgrade requests. It doesn't matter. The casino and the surrounding casinos aren't for me and I won't return. If you don't like pounding loud hip-hop and don't like user unfriendly comps, this isn't for you.
Gave the $20 in the sandwich. The woman looked at me and smiled, but then nodded her head over to the manager standing behind her, and said "i'm sorry but we cannot accept tips and gave me the $20 back. She then winked and proceeded to move us up from the 7th floor, to the 25th. She then proceeded to give us a coupon book, as well as some 2 for 1 cocktail cards for the Brand steakhouse. Although the room itself was not upgraded, the higher floor and the coupon book was a nice touch for just asking.
Tried $20 between the cards and didn't say anything about upgrades as the manager was lingering. She know to keep the money covered, didn't say much, but feverishly tried to find me something. The hotel was sold out for the whole weekend and she felt bad she couldn't get me a suite, but said I would have had one had the hotel not been sold out. She suggested I could wait till midnight and take my chances, but I was tired and said the best she could do for me was great. Got a high floor with view away from the construction. I asked for coupons but she said she couldn't. I would have given her the $20 for that!!! She handed me the money without me asking for it, but I have her a fiver for her efforts. Would have liked the coupons though.
5 minute wait to check-in. Went to a female clerk in her late 20's early 30's. Had a thick Boston accent. Tried the sandwich. Asked if they had any complimentary upgrades. Was told they were not allowed to do that but would see what she could find me. I told her I wanted a room with a strip view and didn't want something too low or on the side with the construction. She said that she couldn't updrade me to a suite but could find a strip view. They would have to charge me $60 to upgrade. So the rooms were available, but wouldn't give me the upgrade.
Handed sandwich to a Latino male in his late 20's. Asked if any complimentary updgrades were available and that it was my 10th stay at this Resort (True). He said that the hotel is booked, and there is nothing he could do for me. He handed back my credit card, id, & $20.00. Room was in the 100 wing and was very dated (worn bedspread, smelled like cigarettes). Complained to front desk (different teller), room was changed to the 300 tower and was renovated - still deluxe.
Checked in around 11:30am. No wait at all and walked to the nearest clerk. My wife and I were very friendly and asked if there was a nice view of the strip available and he said there was a room availabe, but not until the check-in time of 2pm. We said ok and then went to the champagne brunch and had a great time. Our standard room turned into a strip view on the 25th floor for free!
Sandwiched the $20 between ID and CC, asking the lady "Wondering if you can get me a complimentary upgrade", she took the 20 and put it next to the keyboard and said "I'll see what I can do". After a little chat with her about the new Town Centre that they're building next door, she said she couldn't do the upgrade because it was full, she said she would if she could. But she gave us a strip view on the 28th floor instead, and gave the money back to me. So I guess it kinda did work.. it was a busy weekend afterall
Waited in line for about 10 minutes, walked up to the counter said hi & asked for any complimentary upgrades. She saw the $20.00 and said, oh, please keep this, let me see what I can find....she founf a SPA Suite!!! And gave me my $20 back!!!
I checked in at around 10:30 pm. The lobby seemed pretty slow. I made conversation with the lady at the desk and slipped her my CC and DL with the 20 in between. I asked if there were any comp room upgrades available. She said that they didn't do that anymore but she can try to get me the best room available. She put me on the 30th floor on the mountain view side for the first night and said that she could give me a strip view on the 30th floor in a room right across the hall from my first room for the next two nights. I said great and that it would do. She thanked me and gave me the keys and I was on my way. Don't know if I could have had the same luck without the 20. The room was a standard size room and the view was so so of the strip and the construction. The windows were pretty dirty.
Checked in around noon, slipped him the $20 with the license and CC, and asked if there were any comp upgrades available. Said they just had several upper floor suites that just came available. When I asked him what the rooms were like, he said, "The room is smokin"

Amazing Tile Floors
Choosing the best flooring for your home can be a daunting task. You'll need to take a good look at each of your rooms and decide what your budget and décor will require with regard to carpet or a hard surface flooring material. But once you've decided which rooms will look best with hard flooring, we hope our photo gallery guide to tile flooring will help you get acquainted with what options are out there. One tip to get you started off the bat is to never use glazed tiles for moisture-laden floors like bathrooms or kitchens, since the tiles can become very slippery. Another fun tip is that you can always use leftover tile to spice up a portion of your walls.

Delayed arrival in effect for federal employees
Sunday - 1/27/2013, 11:57pm EST
(This article was updated to clarify the expected arrival times for federal employees under the announced delayed arrival schedule.)
Federal offices in Washington, D.C., are operating under a delayed arrival schedule Monday, Jan. 28, due to inclement weather expected in the region. The Office of Personnel Management is asking federal employees to stay off the roads until 10 a.m.
OPM Director John Berry said in an email to Federal News Radio that federal employees can start their commute at 10 a.m. Offices will allow employees entry once they arrive. The offices will open to the public at 12 noon.
Feds are also being given the option to take unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework Monday.
"In accordance with their agency's policies and procedures, subject to any applicable collective bargaining requirements, non-emergency employees may notify their supervisor of their intent to use:
- earned annual leave, compensatory time off, credit hours, or sick leave, as appropriate;
- leave without pay;
- their flexible work schedule day off or rearrange their work hours under flexible work schedules; or
- unscheduled telework (if telework-ready). (Employees who request unscheduled leave should be charged leave for the entire workday.)"
Telework-ready employees should be prepared to telework for the entire workday, or take unscheduled leave or a combination of both, according to OPM. Any employee already scheduled for pre-approved leave will still be charged leave for the entire workday.
Emergency employees are expected to report to work on time unless otherwise directed by their agencies.
Baltimore-area agencies
The Baltimore Federal Executive Board is recommending agencies in that region be open with unscheduled leave and unscheduled telework in effect.

Snohomish's Uriel Herrera is The Herald's Boys Soccer Player of the Year
The focal point of the Panthers' scoring attack helped lead Snohomish to a 4A state championship

No one ever questioned Uriel Herrera's soccer talent. The Snohomish High School senior has terrorized opposing defenses with his individual skills since the moment he donned a Panthers jersey as a freshman.
But this year Herrera added maturity to the recipe. A state championship followed. And the senior forward's contributions to that championship made him the Herald's 2014 Boys Soccer Player of the Year.
To see The Herald's Boys Soccer All-Area first and second teams, click here.
"I can't say enough of how proud I am of him," Snohomish coach Dan Pingrey said. "It's been my pleasure coaching him."
"It was great," Herrera said about his season. "But it was really about the whole team and everyone around me helping me. They were amazing."
Herrera was the focal point of the Snohomish attack, leading the Panthers to a 20-2 record and the Class 4A state title. He not only showed a nose for the net, scoring 18 goals, he also was a capable provider, dishing out 10 assists.
"He meant everything to us," said Tanner Corrie, Herrera's running mate at the top of Snohomish's formation. "Without him up top ... well, he finds a way to get past defenses, he finds a way to put the ball in the back of the net, and that's just what we needed."
Herrera didn't just put the ball in the back of the net, he did so with flair. Herrera possesses the type of ball skills that allow him to effortlessly glide his way past opposing defenders, and he supplements those skills with an accurate shot that gives him the ability to score from distance. If a defender marks him too close, he skips on by. If he's given space, he takes the shot.
"He's just a natural with the ball," Pingrey said. "The ball and his feet are like mitt and ball in baseball for him. He has that feel, he has that natural ability, he's aware of his surroundings, he feels players on his shoulder and his back. The ball just moves with him and it's all one smooth operation, and he's great at it. He does it consistently, and he keeps getting better with it."
Said Corrie: "It's his touch on the ball, his strength and his perseverance through everything that makes him special. If a defender tackles him, he's right back up. He's got a lot of heart."
But it took a shift in attitude for Herrera to achieve the heights he reached this season. Herrera already was established as one of the most dangerous offensive players in Wesco coming into the season, having starred for a Snohomish team that reached the state semifinals last season.
Then this season he was voted one of the team's captains, and that helped Herrera mature both as a player and a person.
"He kind of had a bad rep," Pingrey said. "It was self-caused because there would be fouls or penalties and he would lose his head because he's so intense and wants to have success. We've had a lot of talks with him about it and he's always been great to have with us.
"This year he was voted as a captain, he and I sat down and had a great conversation and he has been a different guy," Pingrey continued "He's been phenomenal as a person, as a leader. as a captain, and on the pitch he's been brilliant. Every team has schemed to defend him and to shut him down and to mark him up and to try and frustrate him. He's taken a huge amount of abuse (from opposing defenders). He has two medial collateral ligaments (in his knees) that are shot because he's been kicked and tweaked so much, especially the last three weeks. But he's had the right mentality, and I couldn't be more proud of him."
Herrera was at his best when the Panthers needed him most. Snohomish suffered a rash of injuries during the middle of the season, limiting the offensive options at the Panthers' disposal. Herrera carried Snohomish through that stretch, including scoring four goals in the Panthers' 10-0 victory over Monroe on April 25, a moment Herrera said was one of the standout moments of the season.
Then during Snohomish's run at state he accepted the attention of opposing defenses and absorbed the physical punishment that came with it, thus allowing his teammates to find the goals that led to the Panthers' third state title since 2000.
"I think it revolved around my whole team, they all helped me out," Herrera said. "If you notice, I didn't score any goals during state, it was all my team. They didn't depend on me and it was great."
Herrera is planning on continuing his soccer career at the next level. He's hoping to catch on with a college team, though he's also considering taking a year to focus on playing at the academy level.
But regardless, he will always be remembered at Snohomish for the contributions he made during his four years.
"He had a fantastic career," Pingrey said. "He's our only four-year letterman among the seniors, that's always a big deal. He came in and made an impact from day one and continued to do so through to the end. I've talked to colleges about him and he's a kid who can play at the next level and ultimately wants to. He's something special and he can make an impact at the next level."

The Importance of Sleep for Cancer Survivors and Caregivers
Daniel Labriola, N.D., Director of Naturopathic Services, Swedish Cancer Institute
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures
in the doctor's book. - Irish Proverb
Restful sleep is a necessary ingredient for maintaining quality of life, performing activities of daily living and simply feeling well, especially for cancer survivors.
Good sleep has many benefits. It helps keep your immune system healthy and strong, and may help you in your fight with cancer.
Inadequate sleep causes fatigue. It can interfere with mental clarity and memory, and can intensify depression or anxiety. It can even increase your pain score. Studies also have shown that individuals with compromised sleep, such as shift workers, have increased cancer incidence.
How do you know you are getting enough sleep?
Ideally, you should fall asleep within 30 minutes and sleep through until morning. If you rise to use the toilet, then you should be back asleep within 15 minutes. You should wake invigorated and alert, and not experience significant fatigue in the afternoon. There is much debate over the number of hours needed, with a range of 7 to 9.5 hours. I suggest more, rather than less.
How can you improve your sleep?
In our clinic we start by using a protocol aptly named Review of Systems to identify physical problems that can interfere with sleep, including such things as inadequate nutrition and digestive problems, pain, airway issues (including sleep apnea), and some drug treatments. We also review mental and emotional issues, such as anxiety and stress. We then address each issue. With each success, sleep quality improves.
You can use the same strategy by identifying those things that may be affecting your sleep, preferably with your doctor or a provider familiar with expertise in this area. Other proven strategies you can try include:
- Avoiding stimulation, such as watching TV in bed before going to sleep
- Keeping your bedroom cool, dark and quiet
- Resolving potential disturbances, such as too many bathroom wake-ups, the cat moving on the bed or a partner's snoring.
- Reading a book or crossword puzzle as a segue to getting to sleep
Most cancer survivors can eliminate sleep difficulties without drugs, which is the most permanent and satisfying result. If you are at your wit's end, however, your doctor may provide a prescription sleep medication. I encourage you, however, to continue your quest to eliminate the causes of insomnia, rather than depend on the long-term use of medications.
Good sleep can help you be at your best with all of the activities and relationships that make life worthwhile. For cancer survivors and caregivers especially, this can mean a remarkably improved quality of life and a better long-term outcome.
Art Therapy for Cancer Survivors
Nicole Stiver, M.A., LMHC, ATR, Patient Education and Integrated Care, Swedish Cancer Institute
Art Therapy at Swedish
Cancer diagnosis and treatment can have a life-changing effect. When you complete treatment and your focus shifts from medical interventions to your life after cancer, you may face many questions. You may wonder "What's next?" or "What do I want my life to look like?" At the same time, you might experience conflicting emotions such as resilience, fear of recurrence, hope, uncertainty, strength and grief. Art therapy is one way to process your individual journey through cancer diagnosis and treatment, and to begin to answer some of those questions. Through art therapy, you can begin to create your life after cancer using a variety of art materials.
Art therapy is a healing modality intended to integrate emotional, physical and spiritual care by facilitating creative ways for patients to respond to their cancer experience. Art therapy provides an outlet for feelings and is a way to explore emotions that are difficult to put into words. Art therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety, and help build positive coping skills. As you create, you may experience increased relaxation, self-awareness and self-discovery. A cancer diagnosis can take away a sense of control. Creating your own art is one way to help you regain it. Through the use of art therapy, you can explore the questions that might arise, establish your priorities and create a meaningful life after cancer.
Art therapy is different from art classes in that the focus is on the creative process, rather than the art product. Confidential sessions are held one-on-one with an art therapist who will offer a variety of art materials and encourage you to find your own meaning in your art. Art experience or confidence is not required.
For more information or to schedule an art therapy session, please call 206-215-6178.

Travel Tips for Cancer Survivors
As the warmer months approach, thoughts turn to vacations with family and friends. As a cancer survivor, you may be ready to get away and have some fun – but may also have concerns about whether traveling is a good idea. Every patient and every reaction to cancer treatment is different; therefore, there is no simple response to the question, "Is it ok to travel?" These travel tips are offered as a starting point for your decision process and preparation for travel.
- Talk with your doctor. Ask your doctor if you are well enough to travel. Ensure he/she knows your exact plans, including mode of transportation, the countries you will visit and where you will stay. Ask if there are travel restrictions. For example, your immune system may be compromised for awhile after your last treatment; therefore, airplane travel or being in large crowds may leave you vulnerable to infection.
- Do some preliminary research. Before you leave, identify medical resources you may need while away from home. Take extra medication in case your return is delayed. And, prepare a short description of your medical history so you have it available for a provider who is unfamiliar with you. It is also wise to ask your insurance administrator how the company will process claims for care you receive while you are out of town.
- Plan a trip that is in sync with your energy level. Set realistic expectations. Plan activities that you will be able to enjoy and complete without getting too tired. Build in time for relaxation – short stops in your sightseeing schedule, a mid-afternoon nap before an evening out, a morning of people-watching in a park.
- Enjoy! You are a survivor – and there's a lot to see, do and appreciate.
Celebrate – Educate - Advocate
Throughout the year, organizations host month-long celebrations intended to raise awareness about specific health topics. As survivors, family members, caregivers and health-care providers, we can help their causes – in our own, personal way.
April 1-30: National Cancer Control Month (by proclamation of the President of the United States)
- Remind a friend or loved one about getting an over-due cancer screening
- Donate to your favorite cancer research organization
- Mail a card to a cancer survivor who could use a little boost of friendship
May 1-31: Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention Month (American Academy of Dermatologists)
May 2: Melanoma Monday
- Stock up on sun screen for you and your family for the coming summer months
- Give a sun-protection gift as a present for a baby shower (a bonnet or hat with a brim to cover face and ears, infant sunglasses or clothing with built-in sun protection)
- Buy a new gardening hat and gloves, or a hat for the beach or boating
June 5: National Cancer Survivors Day (National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation)
- Treat yourself to something special to celebrate your survivorship or your support for a survivor (a spa day, a visit to a museum, a walk in the park, ice cream)
- Call a cancer survivor to congratulate them
- Send a thank-you note to those who have made a difference in your life
Celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day with Swedish
The Swedish Cancer Institute will host two workshops to help celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day on Saturday, June 4.
The Anticancer Lifestyle
Speaker: Carol Robl, M.Ed., M.T.
Explore recent findings on ways to increase your resistance to cancer. Learn how to create an anti-cancer lifestyle by eating beneficial foods, protecting yourself from environmental threats, and enhancing your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Survivorship – living with, through and beyond cancer
Speaker: Sandra Johnson, LICSW
Life after a diagnosis and treatment may bring questions as to how do I live my life now. This two-hour session will explore the nature of hope, resilience and re-establishing your relationship to life.
Both of these workshops will be held in the Donald A. Tesh, M.D. Conference Rooms A and B at Swedish/First Hill. Although these workshops are provided free to participants, registration is required.
Celebrate cancer survivors by attending the "2011 Life to the Fullest Workshop." Register separately for each workshop you want to attend at www.swedish.org/classes.
Knit for Life
I do some of my best thinking about life and a lot of different things when I'm knitting. My mind is someplace else, rather than just sitting there in the living room.
- Marty Pendleton
You are invited to join a group of volunteers who have turned knitting into a healing experience and a way to enhance the lives of cancer patients, and their families and caregivers, during treatment and recovery. On Monday evenings, from 6 to 8 p.m., the knitters gather at the hospital lobby Starbucks at Swedish/Cherry Hill (500 17th Ave., Seattle). On Tuesday afternoons, from 1 to 3 p.m., they meet in the first-floor lobby of the Swedish Cancer Institute at Swedish/First Hill (1221 Madison St., Seattle). The group offers a supportive environment for beginning and experienced knitters. There is no cost and no registration, and all supplies (needles, yarn and patterns) are provided.
Cancer Survivors' Classes
The Swedish Cancer Institute offers several classes specific to cancer survivorship. The groups, which are open to all people in the community, provide an opportunity to meet with others having similar experiences. An experienced class facilitator leads each group.
ACT — After Cancer Treatment: What's Next?
Join a group of patients who are preparing to live life after cancer treatment. For more information about this eight-week class, please call 206-540-0477.

The class is offered at no cost to participants, and includes opportunities for individuals to share their own experiences and to hear about and discuss various survivorship topics. Instructor Carol Robl, M.Ed., M.T., includes topics such as recent research on the challenges cancer survivors may face and the strategies to deal with those challenges, how to lead an "anti-cancer" lifestyle, and the process of healing the whole person.
Those who attend the class learn how to create an action plan that will help them through their transition.
For more information or to register for this class, please call 206-386-2502.
Fall session of "After Breast Cancer: What's Next?"
Registration is now being accepted for the next eight-week "After Breast Cancer: What's Next?" class with instructor Jacci Thompson-Dodd, M.A., MSSS., which will be held Sept. 29 through Nov. 6. There are eight modules that comprise the class, including:
- What now? A time to examine the past and plan for the future
- Self-care. Uncovering barriers to a new future (fear, family demands, financial issues, etc.)
- Renegotiating relationships. Rebuilding a personal community through crucial conversations
- Physical nourishment. Beneficial foods, exercise and lifestyle changes
- Intimacy. How to feel comfortable in your own skin; rebuilding a sense of sensuality; re-engaging with a partner – or finding a new partner

SNOW HILL — There is no over-under on wins for Greene Central High School's boys basketball team going into the season.
That number will fluctuate by the game.
Jim Cole, the Rams' third coach in three years and fourth in five, wants to win them all, as they say, one at a time.
"A lot of coaches will say, 'Well, our goal is this,' or, 'We want to have this record or that record,' " Cole, a former assistant women's coach at Appalachian State, said. "And my thought is always: You say you're going to win 18 games. Well, which games are you planning on losing?"
Greene Central returns a nucleus of largely unproven juniors and seniors from a team that went 6-15 in the one-year tenure of coach Elijah Rouse.
Guards Jalyn Harper, a senior, and Brandon Belcher, a junior, anchor an offense that plans to keep the tempo high. The Rams' game plan will include playing strong defense and pushing the ball up the floor.
"Everything's going to be fast," the 6-foot Harper said. "We'll play a fast-paced game this year. Ain't nothing going to be slow."
Cole, who was the boys head coach at Western Harnett for a season before taking last year off to earn a degree in administration, said that getting from one end of the court quickly is one thing; finishing is another.
"Just because we rush up the floor doesn't mean we need to rush up a shot," Cole said. "That's part of the teaching process that we're going through right now."
Cole described Harper as an "extremely competitive" leader who adjusts to instruction exceptionally well.
The coach characterized the 5-foot-10 Belcher as a hard-nosed player, adding that he successfully took four charges and tried to draw several others during a recent 20-minute scrimmage.
A left-handed point guard, Belcher expects that type of play to be the Rams' m.o.
"Our defense leads the offense," Belcher said. "We like playing defense first."
Greene Central's girls, meanwhile, are coming off a dismal 0-21 campaign. They'll look for improvement under first-year coach Meredith Franklin, who did not return multiple calls for this story.
While Cole admits the team he inherited is "pretty long and pretty athletic," he is wary of his players' collective inexperience. But he believes improvement will come with time.
"I expect us to see a lot of growth throughout the course of the year," Cole, who came to Greene Central in early September, said. "I don't know how strong we're going to look early in the season, but I do expect us to grow a lot during the year just because of the kind of kids that we have."

Tubular, dude!
If you're dealing with rooms that do not have southward-facing windows or you can't install new windows, you might consider budgeting for tubular skylights. These are vertical tubes with a dome on top that go through the roof and attic space in order to focus outdoor sunlight into a specific room directly below. These are much more cost effective than traditional skylights because they don't involve major construction for installation and they don't let in ultraviolet rays like traditional skylights, so your furniture and carpets won't fade. Tubular skylights are designed to bring more natural light into single-storey homes or the top floor of a multi-storey home, and not into floors that have rooms above them. However, you can find some tubular skylights that have "elbows" that will allow you to fit them around obstacles.

It's no wonder that Walter Jones has been elected to the U.S. House since 1994. He can be a very dynamic speaker. He proved such at the Federal Update Luncheon put on by the Havelock Chamber of Commerce and Allies for Cherry Point's Tomorrow Monday at the Havelock Tourist and Event Center.
Jones wasn't a wealth of information during his speech. He didn't offer any solutions to the quagmire that is Washington, D.C. politics. He could offer no real hope that the federal budget would be straightened out — or that there would even be a budget. After all, the country hasn't had a congressionally approved budget in four years.
He couldn't tell us if civilian defense workers would face more furloughs next year, though he did tell us he voted against the Budget Control Act that brought us sequestration.
Instead, the Republican stressed some of the points he has been making in Washington and in various appearances in his district.
His points included that the United States needed to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He stressed that the wars had cost billions in dollars and thousands of American lives.
"No more money for Afghanistan," he said. "We need to keep the money at home."
He stressed fiscal responsibility, a point we can get behind. He talked about the lack of a federal budget and that raising the debt ceiling simply encourages more spending.
"Washington is a city of Sodom and Gomorrah of money, Democrats and Republicans both," he said. "This has got to change."
He told those attending that the budget issues of the last few years have hurt the nation.
"We have squandered the greatness of this country," he said.
And part of that responsibility rests with Congress.
"I'm very disappointed to be a part of a system that's not doing right by the American people," he said.
While the luncheon's other speakers — N.C. Sen. Harry Brown, Jamie Norment from ACT and Col. Blayne H. Spratlin, commanding officer of Fleet Readiness Center East at Cherry Point — provided updates on new state laws designed to protect military bases, lobbying efforts for the base and workload at the state's largest employer east of I-95, Jones' speech is most likely still resonating with those who attended the event.
Jones made very good points, spelling out what was wrong with Washington, and he vowed to fight for the district's interests.
His solution to solve the budgetary crisis of the country is for the United States to get out of Afghanistan. That would indeed help, but what we didn't get from Jones was any idea — or any hope for that matter — that the budgetary and other problems in Washington would soon be solved.
If that's the case, residents of Havelock and workers at Cherry Point can expect more uncertainty moving forward.

They are just unconscious.
Pretty easy to score when every player on defense is within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
21-0 half way through the 1st. Crazy.
Nice pick six.
ULM beat Wake Forest and only lost at OU 34-0.
I continue to think Baylor runs the table this year.
I want Baylor to play Nebraska.
I wish they'd just hang 100 on someone to prove they can.
When you watch Baylor, the field looks huge. When you watch ISU, it looks tiny and crowded.

I agree. They are hands down the best team in the big 12. They will probably lose 1 though.

Be careful what you ask for. They do play us.
Baylor is just fun to watch. Too bad they can't fill their stadium.

Good point. Don't want that honor.
Baylor sure does blitz a lot.
Baylor will score 100. Mark it down.

Going into the fall season, CBS' Vegas series was one of the new TV shows with the most buzz. Many people were expecting it to be one of the hits of the season. Has it measured up? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Airing on Tuesday nights, Vegas takes place in the Las Vegas of the 1960s and revolves around Sheriff Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid), a former rancher, and his clashes with Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis), a Chicago mobster who moved west to set up his operation. Others in the cast include Carrie-Anne Moss, Taylor Handley, Sarah Jones, and Jason O'Mara.
The show debuted back on September 25th to a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 14.85 million total viewers. While the viewership was strong, CBS was likely expecting a much better demo number — especially considering the show's high-profile talent, positive reviews, and the show having a strong lead-in like NCIS: Los Angeles.
In week two, the ratings dropped 20%, to a 2.0 rating with 12.11 million. In week four, they dropped another 20%, to a 1.6 rating with 10.8 million.
The numbers have remained fairly steady since then and the 15 episodes that have aired thus far have averaged a 1.7 demo rating with 10.9 million viewers.
While that demo might be enough for a show on NBC, it's not likely good enough for CBS. Right now, Vegas is one of the network's lowest-rated weekday series in the demographic which advertisers favor. Vegas has a lot of total viewers but so do many other CBS shows.
Last season, Unforgettable occupied the same timeslot and performed better than Vegas — averaging a 2.3 demo rating and 11.3 million viewers. It was cancelled.
The network ended up making a deal with Sony TV to bring Unforgettable back for a short season this summer and both sides likely made some financial concessions to make that happen. Word is that most of the supporting castmembers have been dropped. A deal like that is not likely to happen with Vegas.
Unless the ratings start to climb, it doesn't look very likely that Vegas will be back for a second season.
On the positive side, the series will be back on March 19th and there are seven new episodes yet to come.
What do you think? Do you think CBS should cancel Vegas to make way for a new show? Or, should they renew Quaid and company for a second season? If you were running the network, would you change anything try to attract higher ratings?
