"We got the community involved," said Green Level Mayor Larry McCollum. "There was a lot of pride."
Money had been a drawback to getting things operational. Even in youth leagues, outfitting a team with uniforms and equipment is expensive. Officials with the Green Level Recreation Department estimated $15,000 was necessary to outfit the three Green Level teams.
Sandra McCollum, Larry's wife and Green Level's town clerk, said a lot of credit for getting the Green Level teams outfitted goes to

"The kids acted like they really liked it," McCollum said. "The parents did, too."
About 20 boys played on each of the three Green Level teams. The Trojans midget squad – boys between the ages of 10 and 11 – was the most successful, finishing with a record of 6-2. The season stretched from late August through early November.
McCollum and others involved with the Green Level effort said some of the boys would have been able to play on other league teams. Other boys – because of the hassle of transportation to and from practice – wouldn't have been playing football this year.
"We had an excellent time,"
He said play in Green Level should only continue to improve.

"I was so overwhelmed," he said.

DANA POINT – Riding in an inflatable boat, Tom Southern tossed a grapple line in front of an orange buoy racing through churning sea swell as it was towed by a 35-foot tour boat.
The larger vessel trailing the line and buoy simulates an entangled whale, and the grapple throw is part of a disentanglement training exercise. Southern, a veteran whale-watch captain, held steady and hit his mark. With the grapple in place, he bent the line attached to the boat over the bow of his inflatable and went for what is referred to as a Nantucket sleigh ride. The training is a modification of an old whaling technique called kegging.
Southern, 51, of San Clemente is one of a dozen members of Dolphin Safari Whale Rescue, assembled to aid whales caught in fishing gear, traps and marine debris. Dave Anderson, of San Juan Capistrano, who founded the first Orange County whale rescue group, started the new task force to raise awareness about whale entanglement and the nearly 1,000 whales and dolphins dying each day in nets and fishing gear across the world.
The entanglements and the often highly publicized rescue efforts have drawn out marine mammal enthusiasts, whale-watch captains and marine mammal rescue groups wanting to help. While the groups' passions are well-intentioned, some rescue attempts have led to controversies and, in some cases, competition over who is in charge of a rescue in California.
This has led the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service – the federal agency that protects marine life – to review rescue groups and develop protocol to avoid confusion and mishaps.
"Right now, if a whale shows up, there isn't a set protocol on who will do what with it," Anderson said. "Right now, we and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center are just two different groups responsible to respond to a whale that's tangled. The way it seems now is whoever gets to the whale first takes the lead. Our two groups are not on good terms with one another. If they are in charge of disentanglement and we're not involved, I don't feel that that is in the best interest of the whale."
In April, boat captains outside Newport Beach spotted a gray whale caught in a crab trap. A rope from the trap went around its head, through its mouth and pinned its left pectoral flipper. Anderson and his team came upon it off Dana Point. For two hours, they stayed with the whale and observed its behavior.
Anderson, who had succesfully freed a whale just weeks before, contacted NOAA to begin disentanglement but was told the Pacific Marine Mammal Center was in charge. Anderson and his crew followed the whale for two hours until PMMC's crew arrived and Anderson said his help and input was dismissed, though at the time the two were part of the same group.
"Normally we attach ourselves to the netting, allow the whale to tow us along and use a pole with a knife to disentangle it," he said. "The whale was peacefully swimming next to us, and we realized the only way to free it was to cut the rope from around its head without attaching ourselves or buoys."
Pacific Marine Mammal Center staff attached three buoys to try to help the whale.
The whale dove, disappeared and a highly publicized search was on. A week later, the whale was spotted near central California. NOAA fisheries sent boats and a plane to locate it but were unsuccessful. In early May, crab fishermen in Bodega Bay spotted it and freed it using the technique Anderson wanted to use weeks before.
After the incident, Anderson and other boat captains wrote letters and filed complaints with NOAA. They asked why the marine mammal center, a rescue and rehabilitation center for seals and sea lions, was given priority on the rescue. The dispute led to a rift between the groups.
Lauren Saez, a marine biologist with the fisheries group, said the center was put in charge because the group was the lead under direction of an agency member who was on leave. Saez said the situation became even more difficult because of the multiple whale rescues last year and because it was difficult for NOAA officials to know what was going on from their offices.
Keith Matassa, the marine mammal center's new executive director, said everything his group did during the rescue effort was under direction of NOAA. Since then, he's had several meetings with the agency and considers the past "lessons learned."
"My biggest thing is to have PMMC work with NOAA and with Captain Dave and as a team do the best thing for the whale," Matassa said. "When the whale call comes in, NOAA will dispatch whoever they think is necessary."

The City of Irvine Emergency Management Office recommends that citizens be prepared for all emergencies, whether related to terrorism or other man-made or natural disasters. The threat of terrorism may prompt some to take precautionary steps, but the reality is that in Southern California, a large-scale earthquake has the potential to exceed the destruction presented through terrorist acts. Therefore it is prudent to prepare for the disruption of services that may occur during any major emergency or disaster. It is recommended that food, water, and first aid supplies be stored in a safe place, and that each household prepare an emergency plan for its members. Take a first aid and CPR course. Better yet, take the eight-week Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training now offered by the Irvine Police Department and the Orange County Fire Authority. If you have children, check on your school's emergency plan. Include them in your emergency preparations. Help them cope with their feelings during this time of uneasiness and tension. Seek professional help for them if necessary. (Irvine residents can contact For Families for assistance in this area, at 949-724-6650.) Create an emergency communications plan utilizing an out-of-area contact, so that you can check on family members if you are separated during a disaster. Practice escape drills at home and at work. Take special precautions when traveling, and cooperate with new, more extensive security procedures. To learn more about emergency preparedness, contact Irvine Emergency Management at 949-724-7148. Brochures and training opportunities are available to all Irvine residents and businesses. Additionally, questions regarding terrorism and preparedness can be emailed to the City's website. Be aware of your surroundings wherever you go, and take note of conspicuous or unusual behavior. For assistance with security recommendations for Irvine business, contact Preventive Services at 949-724-7042. To report suspicious conduct or circumstances in Irvine, you are advised to call the Irvine Police Department's Special Investigative Unit at 949-724-7135. Prevention and intervention are the best methods for dealing with terrorist acts by capturing the perpetrators before they act. Information gathered by residents can be useful in identifying persons or circumstances that appear unusual or suspicious. Being a good witness and observant neighbor can be extremely helpful in this regard. Whatever role you play, it is important that Irvine residents continue to stay committed and involved in the community, celebrating diversity and keeping our City safe.

Laser Surgery
The last ten years has seen a revolution in techniques for treating certain congenital and chronic skin problems headed by a new generation of lasers.
A key feature of this development has been selectivity: the effective removal of the lesions without unnecessary damage to surrounding structures. This has resulted in:
- Minimal scarring
- Treated skin appearing "normal" in texture and color
Previous lasers, and even some currently being used, do not have this degree of safety. Laser treatment of Portwine stain birthmarks in children with the pulsed dye laser has been most predominantly featured but this represents only one of the successes. Now, several skin problems, congenital and acquired, medical and cosmetic, in young and old, can all be treated by lasers.
Cosmetic Laser
Skin Lesions
Listen to a grateful patient tell his story of his experience with Dr. Tan.

A New Bern artist has teamed with students in a project that will give the first-graders local and statewide exposure of their artwork.
Jill Eberle, who teaches drawing, painting, illustration and artistic anatomy at East Carolina University, opened a show "Imaginings" during last Friday's ArtWalk at New Bern ArtWorks Fine Arts Gallery on Pollock Street.
It features her paintings that are based on the drawings from nine first-graders at Arapahoe Charter School.
Last year, Eberle approached Melissa Giglio, who was then the art teacher at the school. Her request was for the students to draw their idea of a "creature."
"I was so impressed with what I got," Eberle said. She took the conceptual art by the students and took it to another level.
"I kept their lines, developing the characters from that," she said. "I tried to humanize them. I have seen similar projects and the results were sometimes cartoonish."
She said the children's drawings were not impeded by adult conventions. Some had a mouth on the side of the face, while others had an extra set of eyes or limbs.
She said her goal was to keep the spirit of the children's drawings.
"Using oils and classical painting techniques, I created the illusion of three-dimensional volume, human features and invented environments," she said in the introduction to a book she has produced featuring the children's art and her follow-up paintings.
The exhibit will remain in New Bern at ArtWorks through the end of June. Then, Eberle will again take the student art to another level.
It will appear at the Greenhill Center for the Arts in Greensboro as part of a fall show called "Animated," which highlights North Carolina talent.
The slick-paper book on the project — "Imaginings: Kids' Art Meets Classical Painting" — includes a photo of each student, their artwork and their brief description. It gives some interesting insight to the thoughts and vision of first-graders.
Curtis Bryant's creature is "Ben," who likes playing with cars, race cars and trucks. But now he is sick because he ate fish.
Piper Midyette created "Angel," who is clapping because her best friend just won a race. Angel has a pet named "Rain" and likes to find shark teeth.
C.J. Manning's creature is "Spike," who has fire on his legs and chainsaws in his hands. He is described by the young artist as really, really angry.
Dania Galvan-Veliz created "Rosie," who likes to make friends and play tag, as well as read.
Kendall Insley created "Roho," whom she describes as a nice creature who likes cooking and fish. He has a green face, his favorite color.
Lucian Schmidt produced the creature "Spikey," who has horns. Spikey is tired from a lack of sleep from watching Sponge Bob on television.
Lucas Bailey's work is "Marcus Bailey," who likes to eat watermelon and lifts weights. He can be nice or grumpy.
Jasmine Veliz drew the "Queen of Art," who likes looking at art and painting. The Queen is also half-octopus.
Ben Burton created "Goober," who has white teeth and likes to play baseball and soccer. His skin is purple, except when he is touched. Then, he turns pink.
Eberle and her husband, Rob, arrived in New Bern on a sailboat after living in the Caribbean for six years.
They came with an infant in tow, she said, and "stayed because the dockage was cheap for live-aboards."
Rob started a business, Eberle Marine Surveys, and Jill resumed her earlier passion for painting. When more children arrived, they moved ashore. Jill attended ECU for her art degree and has been teaching since 2003.
A southern Connecticut native, her art career began when she was a model for artist Robert Brackman. But, the model lingered in the studio after classes, beginning her passion for the arts.
She went to college in Ithaca, N.Y., with training in set design for theater.
She worked many jobs in New York City — scene painter, prop builder, illustrator, architectural draftsman, counselor and sail-maker.
While in the Caribbean, she began to hone her various skills and began painting her own compositions.

Bringing the Roar of the Crowd Back to Dix StadiumPosted Jan. 19, 2011
Oct. 9, 2010: The third-largest game in Dix Stadium history. And when the raucous crowd of 24,221 stormed the field to reclaim the Wagon Wheel as the Golden Flashes defeated the Akron Zips 28-17, one thing was abundantly clear: Football fans had returned to Kent State.
The excitement was just what new Athletics Director Joel Nielsen hoped for when he arrived last May. Within weeks, he launched the ambitious 90KSU, an initiative to attract at least 90,000 attendees to Dix Stadium games during the 2010 season. It was part of a larger plan to make football a priority for the Athletics department, with the aim of soon bringing home the first Mid-American Conference championship in the sport since 1972.
"It's important that we strive to be competitive at the highest level in each of our 18 sports," Nielsen says. "But there's something special about a successful football campaign. It raises the national visibility of Kent State and all of Intercollegiate Athletics — and winning on a Saturday afternoon has a unique way of rallying the support of our fans, alumni, donors and the entire Kent State community year-round."
For alumnus George Jenkins, '63, that was the right message.
"Almost every sport at Kent State competes for the MAC championships, and last year we won the Reese and Jacoby trophies," says the former Golden Flashes captain about the awards given to the conference's top men's and women's programs. "But one program lags behind all the other programs. And I want to see football compete for championships like all the other sports."
His latest contribution just may help that process along.
* * *
George Jenkins arrived at Kent State in 1959 as the first in his family to attend college. As he tells the story, he intended that playing football and graduating with his bachelor's degree would be great accomplishments. But his university experience changed that thinking.
Jenkins discovered that he excelled not just on the field, where he played quarterback and safety, but in the classroom. And he also found he was a natural leader, developing those skills as president of the Blue Key honorary, Varsity K and his fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega. But what truly changed his life trajectory were two constitutional law courses taught by James Olsen. After watching him achieve in the classes, the professor told him that he should attend law school.
"I said, 'That's just way beyond my reach in terms of academic experience and economic ability,'" Jenkins says. "But he just kept after me and kept after me. He finally said: 'Take the law school aptitude tests, and if you do well, will you apply to law school?' And just to placate him, I did."
His scores were good, and after further prodding from Olsen, the student ended up at the University of Michigan — which led to a 42-year law career, including a stint as the first assistant attorney general for the state of Ohio.
"It became the foundation for my whole career," says Jenkins, who is also a past trustee of the university. "It's a classic story of a professor motivating a student to expand his horizons and stretch as hard as he can stretch — changing his whole life."
* * *
When Jenkins first thought of giving back to his alma mater, he immediately knew that he wanted to make a contribution that would honor both sides of his university experience.
"My interests were in promoting something that would help student-athletes be both students and athletes while at Kent State," he says.
What he settled on was funding the construction of the Academic Resource Center, which provides student-athletes with space and staff members to assist them in progressing toward graduation amid their packed practice and competition schedules. Jenkins contributed the lead gift, while additional significant contributions from alumni John and Joyce Farrell and Judy Devine, among others, have created a supporting endowment and made possible an expansion. The facility is named for Jenkins and his wife, Gina.
"I feel so strongly about helping student-athletes succeed because of my experience," he says. "Without the academic side of Kent State and without the motivation of Dr. Olsen, I wouldn't have become a lawyer and I wouldn't have been so successful. So I needed to give back to athletics, but also to academics."
This summer, Jenkins made a new Centennial Campaign commitment in support of Athletics Director Nielsen's plan to revitalize the football program. The gift will be used to acquire the resources needed to pursue a long-sought MAC championship — and bring excitement back to the campus and Dix Stadium.
"George's gift underscores his strong belief in the importance of private support, when it comes to an academic support building or providing resources to maintain a Division I football program," Nielsen says. "His gift to benefit the Football Enhancement Fund has served as the catalyst and motivator for others to follow his lead."
Jenkins, whose total commitments to Kent State exceed $500,000, has specific goals in mind for his latest contribution.
"Football has been down so long that it needed to be jumpstarted," he says. "And I wanted to be one of the people to help Joel and his staff re-energize the program."
Based on what he witnessed during the Oct. 9 Battle for the Wagon Wheel, he's already pleased with the results.
"The best illustration of what I want this gift to achieve is the difference in the games prior to Homecoming and what I saw at Homecoming," Jenkins says. "It was the third-largest Kent State game ever. Students were there and engaged. The stands were full and the fans were enthusiastic. And we were victorious on the field.
"That's what I'd like to see each and every Saturday."

Product Reviews
Rated 4 out of 5 by WannaBe from Great looking sinks We love the look of these sinks. We're doing 2 bathroom remodels and ordered 3 of them. The sinks are deep and with the higher faucets we chose, one isn't splashing water all over the counters. The only problem we've encountered is that the sink bottom is relatively flat and doesn't drain all the water out completely. It eventually evaporates, but leaves water rings that can be hard to remove. Other than that, they look terrific and have a nice modern look to them. I'd buy them again, even knowing about the draining problem, if it's really a problem. I keep a sponge in the under sink cupboard, and just wipe out what doesn't drain. And it's never very much!
