"A teacher affects eternity; she/he can never tell where his influence stops." — Henry Adams
For me, coaching has always been teaching and the basketball court or the baseball diamond captivating classrooms. And, in most cases, no matter how hard you prepare or how much passion you apply to your craft, you're never really certain of the influence of your work. That's because the lessons taught and learned are sometimes actualized and appreciated long after the student or athlete is no longer part of your circle.
A tip of the cap to Roxbury coach Lisa Faraci. Maybe it's because in the past she's experienced the challenge of motivating a team that's struggling to find a winning grove. Whatever the inducement, with her current team putting together a banner year in Roxbury, Faraci is showing a "touch of class" in how she manages games when her squad faces a badly overmatched opponent.
Most of the guys of my generation lost a hero just before Christmas, even if only a few of us could recognize his name. Sy Berger, the father of the modern day trading baseball card, died at age 91. Where would we have been and what would we have done to gobble up large swaths of our time growing up without Sy Berger?
One of the pleasures of working in public education is to sometimes be a part of turning points in young people's lives. A turning point is a critical step forward, an awareness of one's capabilities that makes a positive difference in one's life. Turning points provide purpose and meaning that help shape future direction. And turning points come in every shape and size; perhaps a youngster discovering the joy of reading, a young actor surpassing their expectations when performing on stage, or an athlete or even a team taking their play to an uncharted level of success.
By John Bernhardt
In another day, in another time, in another era, baseball was king. In community after community across Delaware County, nearly everyone played. Locally, there was a time in Margaretville when a youth baseball House League swelled to well beyond 100 kids.
Times change. Demographics shift. New passions erupt. Soccer exploded on the local sports scene, stretching its influence from autumn through spring. Over time, like a slowly leaking faucet, local interest in baseball eroded until in recent years only traces of the grand old game remained.
Unless you're a high school athlete attending a sports camp, team sports activity slows to a crawl in the summer in the Catskills. In days of old, summer baseball was huge in almost every small community in our county. At its peak, American Legion baseball was everywhere and almost every Delaware County town or hamlet fielded a youth baseball team. Sixteen teams represented Delaware County communities during its zenith. For the most part, Legion baseball in rural New York State is a thing of the past.
Baseball was king
He was a man without a country, a baseball fan decked out in the traditional orange and blue of the New York Mets enveloped in a sea of Atlanta Brave gray and red hearing "y'all" everywhere he turned. Styrofoam tomahawks bounced off his head and shoulders as thousands of Brave fans broke out in a chorus of their all to familiar tomahawk chop.

"They were just regular guys. The nice thing was that they were as interested in us as we were interested in them." That was Cooper Reither's assessment after meeting two Binghamton Met baseball players at a post-game picnic Sunday afternoon at NYSEG Stadium in Binghamton.
Matt VanValkenburg gets it. On Saturday, the Margaretville soon-to-be-senior was named the Oneonta Daily Star 2013 Boys' High School Soccer Player of the Year. The opening of sportswriter Rob Centorani's story announcing the Player of the Year selection says a lot about the soccer player and the person who is Matt VanValkenburg. Here's how Centorani started.
TOP HONORS — Margaretville's Matt VanValkenburg heads the ball into the nets as he ties the score with the second of his three goals leading the Blue Devils to a 3-2 overtime victory against Charlotte Valley in the November 2, 2013 sectional finals contest. — Photo by Dick Sanford
It is the great equalizer, a rare innovation that levels the playing field and neutralizes the power the big kids bring to a backyard baseball game. Since the early 1950s, Americans of every size, shape, sex, and age have at one time or another played Wiffle® Ball. That's right, the abbreviated backyard baseball game using those long skinny, yellow, hard plastic bats and that plastic baseball featuring eight holes in the ball.

28 March 2013 23:12 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) expects this to be another strong year for soybeans, and with Thursday's release of the Prospective Plantings report they have estimated 77.13m acres of farmland will be filled with the commodity.
This estimate is a slight decrease from the 2012 number of 77.2m acres planted. The agency said it appears that farmers in the Great Plains will overall plant less of the crop this year, as they are likely deciding to grow corn instead.
Soybean ending stocks were placed at 999m bushels, which was higher than trade estimates but a 27% decrease from last March.
On Thursday, soybeans joined corn futures in taking a plunge as traders and non-commercial support vigorously sold off positions. May soybeans were down 49 cents to close at $14.0475/bushel.
However, strong demand has agricultural analysts taking a bullish position through the spring and predicting that the price will climb to harvest season.
For the fertilizer industry, it has been a restless time of waiting for farmers to get into the field and begin their seasonal activities, primarily the application of crop nutrients. Sources have said it appears that in some areas plantings will be later than last year's early start, namely from the persistence of winter conditions and significant rainfall in specific growing regions.
While most agree that the majority of fertilizers required for this season are positioned for distribution and placement into the field, the next surge of activity for both sides of the markets will come as the need for refilling distributors and farmers begins later this year. The slowdown in the market demand has caused some downward pressure in the past few weeks on various pricing of the crop nutrients.
As far as other major crops, the USDA said the wheat crop will be 56.4m acres, a 1% reduction from last year, while grain sorghum will come in at 7.62m acres, a 22% rise from 2012.

Roswell: Inconvenient Facts and the Will to Believe
Prometheus Books, 2001 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 331 pages
For over fifty years an incident near Roswell, New Mexico, has sparked the imaginations of UFO enthusiasts. Did the military recover a crashed "flying saucer" there, along with several extraterrestrial bodies? Has the government gone to great lengths to hide the evidence? Over time these speculations have reached the status of unquestionable truths in the minds of many ufologists.
In this definitive study of the Roswell incident, longtime UFO researcher Karl T. Pflock-who is convinced that some UFO reports are real alien sightings-concludes, after an exhaustive investigation, that no alien craft or bodies were ever found at Roswell. Pflock admits at the outset that he too once strongly believed there might be something to the Roswell alien stories, and he describes how he then came to discover the whole truth. Using formerly classified records he proves that the U.S. government has absolutely no physical evidence of aliens, shows how critical weather data completely refute key claims of Roswell believers, and explains why the case now rises and falls on the testimony of just one witness, who cleverly manipulated leading investigators and continues to do so today.
Pflock's intensive research and access to once-classified documents-including facsimilies of important formerly classified documents, 28 witness affidavits, and the entire Pratt-Marcel interview transcript-make this book must reading even for UFO buffs-believers and skeptics alike- who feel they know everything about Roswell.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to everyone who helped us build a stronger and better community this year. Your generosity enabled United Way for Jackson & George Counties to exceed our goal of $2 million dollars and will ensure the 21 agencies and programs that we support continue to be there for those less fortunate.
In Jackson and George counties, our people are truly our greatest resource. Whenever there is a need, we come together and make a way so that we can be a blessing to others. No one person or one agency can do it alone, but united, we can and do make a positive difference in the lives of so many of our friends and neighbors. Your kindness and willingness to offer a hand up to someone less fortunate show your true heart, and it is a privilege to be a part of such a compassionate community.
This is your community and this is your United Way. If we can ever be of service to you, please do not hesitate to call on us. Our campaign will run through the end of 2014. If you or your company would like to help us continue building a united community, please contact our office. We can also offer ideas on how you can be an advocate for United Way in the community or help you find a rewarding opportunity as a volunteer with one of our agencies.
President Calvin Coolidge once said, "No person was ever honored for what he received. He was honored for what he gave." On behalf of the United Way Board of Directors, staff, agencies and all of the countless number of people who will be helped because of you, please accept our sincerest gratitude. You are truly honored and appreciated for what you gave.

Girl on Fire.... Could you be the flame in her eye? Warm firey redheard waiting to hear from you.
Some people call me a free spirit. I will surprise you— it will not be dull! Men have called me warm, sensual, earthy, and magnetic. Someone with a great sense of humor, to laugh freely with, who celebrates life. Do you like adventure? Count me in! Does putting on boots during a hurricane and singing in the rain count? How about skinny-dipping under a waterfall we finally found after strolling in the back woods? I'm looking to grow into a relationship with a great guy that feels like home… that includes a good mix of honest conversation, affection, respect, loyalty, and tons of laughter. I pretty much walk my talk, and I appreciate the same in a partner. Life is about balance, and the best part is appreciating shared moments… want to join me? I'm sure we are both more interesting in person and then I can see your smile…

anywhere I can get a good glass of wine and good food. It doesn't have to be fancy although I enjoy that from time to time to.
I like most any movie that is entertaining- Action, Horror, Adventure, Drama, Romance. I love to listen to music. Growing up in the 80's that is my favorite genre, however I do listen to a pretty wide range of music.
In my free time I enjoy meeting friends out for Happy Hour, curling up with a good book and a glass of wine, wine tasting, cooking or baking something yummy, long walks on the beach, anything near or on the water.

The reason we don't have beautiful new airports and efficient bullet trains is not that we have inadvertently stumbled upon stumbling blocks; it's that there are considerable numbers of Americans for whom these things are simply symbols of a feared central government, and who would, when they travel, rather sweat in squalor than surrender the money to build a better terminal.

What I see missing from some of the people that seem to have it all is they don't take the risk. It's not the same as the clichés 'you learn from your mistakes' and 'if you're not making mistakes you're not moving forward'. The risk thing is a little bit different, it's about taking the plunge. Think Richard Branson or someone like Steve Jobs; that kind of risk taking paid off. What I always visualise is someone holding their nose and jumping off of a really high rock.

The only way Chris Pratt can have a better year is if they announce they're spinning off Burt Macklin into his own film franchise.

Waiting is the hardest part…
What happened there, you have a tech company that's culturally inept. There's no one at the company that said, 'If you ban these guys, you're going to look bad to the young people, and they're going to look like superheroes even though they're just pure capitalists — well they're not pure capitalists, but they're real capitalists and [they] sold that company to Apple — but you're going to make them look like the underdog.

If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, all of us. Proof of that is that there are about three candidates for the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. But what is important is Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, not who wrote them, but that somebody did. The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn't have needed anyone since.

If you started streaming Bear in Heaven's I Love You, It's Cool last December, you should be about finished now. The band's decision to digitally slow down its third album 400,000 percent into a blurry smear was a neat bit of aural sabotage now juxtaposed by the sprawling synth waves and icy pinnacles revealed by its physical release. Cool isn't a radical departure from its predecessor, Beast Rest Forth Mouth, which established BIH as an electronic-pop, dance-inducing force. It's on a similarly grand scale, oozing billowy, multi-layered synth clouds that pulse expectantly among peppery hooks; all are culled from decades stretching back to the new wave and prog rock eras. Jon Philpot's angst-ridden, sighing vocals sound echoey and detached, while Joe Stickney's thunderous, frenetic percussion provides an invaluable dose of earthy reality. Doldrums is Montreal-based Airick Woodhead, whose recent debut EP Empire Sound is a cacophonous, collage-like assemblage of woozy, industrial electronica with a post-punk percussive charge and slippery remnants of fractured pop. The Portland trio Blouse play dreamy synth-pop laden with icicles of irony while female singer Charlie Hilton bleeds insouciance. 18+, $10. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Rick Mason

Father's Day 2014
June 17, 2014
We celebrated Father's Day at Valleyfair this year. Erik and I were tired from a long weekend of traveling. Erik went to Duluth for a funeral. And I was in Moorhead with Ava enjoying family time. But we were happy to get out and enjoy some time together outside.
