Thanks to overpowering winds lashed out by Hurricane Sandy, trees were crashing to the ground at a rapid rate and along with their branches came countless telephone poles and downed wires. In the end, hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents were left in the dark – literally – and some still are living their lives without electricity or heat.
And in spite of the super storm and her mass destruction, Paramus resident, Bob Sakala had an ingenious idea for his family: instead of seeking warmth in his Toyota Prius he was going to power his house with it.
Sakala, who purchased his Prius Hybrid back in the summer to save money on gas, told NBC New York, that for the last week he has powered his home, including light, laptops and a television on three quarters of a tank of gas. Years ago the Paramus native read about the how the Prius could be used as a power source and thought this moment was a better time than any to give it a try.
According to NBC New York, Sakala was able to power a few lights, as well as his laptop and modem with a 100 watt power inverter some heavy extension cords. Later on, he switched to a 300 watt inverter in order to power more lights. Power was finally restored to his block on Thursday.
Another instance of this creativity occurred in Massachusetts when native John Sweeney found himself in the thick of an ice storm. According to an article online by the Learning Channel (TLC), Sweeney's house would have been without power for days, had he not done the only sensible thing. He rigged up his Prius to power his home and appliances, so he could wait out the storm in comfort.

Lewis Pugh, ocean advocate and endurance swimmer, set out on Thursday to become the first person to undertake a long-distance swim in each of the classical Seven Seas, in a bid to highlight the need for protected areas in oceans around the world.
Starting in Monte Carlo on Thursday, Pugh began his quest to swim in each of the seven seas: the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, Black, Red, Arabian and North. The seas are among the most polluted and over-fished in the world.
His quest will end with a 100-kilometre swim up the Thames in London between 27 and 29 August, after which he will deliver a petition to British Prime Minister David Cameron to urge him to support marine protected areas.
Pugh's "Seven Swims in Seven Seas for 1 Reason" campaign is in support of the United Nations' call for at least 10% of the world's oceans - both around countries and on the high seas - to be declared marine protected areas by 2020 to safeguard fish and other wildlife.
Love affair
Pugh, a British citizen, spent his childhood in South Africa, and it was here that he began his love affair with ocean swimming. When Pugh was just 17 years old, he completed the dangerous swim from Robben Island, the famous prison of South Africa's apartheid past, to Cape Town.
Today, he is the only person to have completed long-distance swims in all five oceans, including the sub-zero waters of the Arctic and Antarctic - wearing nothing but a speedo.
Pugh writes on his blog that much his training has been in Cape Town, with world champion kayaker Dawid Mocke and "83-year old legendary swimming coach Brian Button at the Sports Science Institute in Cape Town".
"I also trained with Steph du Toit, the conditioning coach of Western Province Rugby. The training has been fast and aggressive."
'We bring peace'
Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu joined Pugh, a WWF ambassador, at a final training session in Cape Town last week to wish him well.
"When we damage the environment and don't protect our resources we create the conditions necessary for conflict," Tutu said. "However, when we protect the environment we bring peace. I salute Lewis in his efforts."
Pugh is the United Nation's Environment Programme's Patron of the Oceans. "This is my most ambitious expedition yet: Seven swims in each of the classical Seven Seas. The logistics are complex. The challenges are many. But the aim is simple: to protect our wonderful seas and their precious marine wildlife," Pugh said in a statement on Wednesday.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are "great for fish, great for tourism and least we forget it, great for us humans," he said. "We rely on the health of our oceans to survive. MPAs improve the health of our oceans by protecting and restoring marine habitats, they protect species and help rebuild fish stocks and they increase resilience to environmental changes."
Pugh's latest expedition has support from the United Nations. Achim Steiner, the executive director of the UN Environment Programme, said: "Land-based pollution, poorly managed coastal development, overfishing and climate change are all major threats which can be reduced if governments work together and set ambitious targets."
About 13% of the world's land lies in protected areas, but less than 3% of the oceans are protected.

Yes, just do it
I read with amusement that the police chiefs consider the death penalty no deterrent to violent crime ("Death Penalty No Deterrent, Police Chiefs Say," Oct. 20). How would they know? It's been a decade since Pennsylvania executed Gary Heidnik.
Currently there are 228 men and women on death row in Pennsylvania. The taxpayers make sure they get three meals a day and free health care. I would bet anything that if you would start executing 15 to 20 a month, you would see a dramatic drop in violent crime. But once again, thanks to the liberal morons and the American Civil Liberties Union, that will never happen.

The Greenfield School District will hire both an interim superintendent and an interim business manager until candidates can be found to fill both positions permanently, the School Board decided Monday.
Superintendent Conrad Farner departed last week to take a job as human resources director for the Cedarburg School District.
Kristen Kollath, director of business services, will leave next month to accept a position with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The board had offered the interim superintendent position to Todd Bugnacki, director of elementary education, but he said he had to decline because of pressing needs in his current position. He was invited to apply for the superintendent's job.
To get the best candidate for superintendent, the board wanted to take its time with an eye to filling the position at least by July 1. There was a feeling that the appointment should be made considerably earlier so the new superintendent can help choose a business manager.
The superintendent and business manager work so closely together that a good match was felt to be important.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 1/29/13
Reminiscent of Carlos Boozer's sprayed on hairline of last year, Ray Lewis has opted for a similar solution to fight the battle against Father time. A hilarious story which was picked up from Larry Brown Sports focused on the utter 'perfection' that was Lewis' hairline as he addressed the media on Monday. Let us remember that Lewis is 37 going on 38, so this is not a knock on him trying to 'regain' what he's lost through the years…but, really spraying a hairline on? Has the tragic tale that was 'Boozer hairline-gate' not taught athletes a thing? Now of course this is all speculative, so you be the judge, is it au natural or sponsored by Sharpie?

not great
Danette B.

on 3/12/2012
For a warm-up jacket that get alot of daily wear for a swimmer, the zipper is of poor quality. It constantly gets caught and is very difficult to zip. It is hard to line up and get connected to the rest of the zipper. The fabric quality is nice. Just wish the zipper would be the quality of the rest of the jacket.

Nice jacket
Year-round swim team Mom
from Charlotte, NC
on 12/31/2008
We purchased this jacket and the matching pants for use before and after swim practice and meets for our 8-yr old daughter. She needed something that was easy to get on and off, particularly back on when she was still slightly wet/damp, and this doesn't exactly fit that bill. The inner liner of the sleeve seems to get stuck and really frustrates her. It's made of a nice quality weight, maybe a little stiff feeling, but a good weight for use in NC winter (fairly mild, but sometimes cold). We like it, but would perhaps look at the description of the next price range up from this one to see what the sleeves (and legs of the pants if you're ordering those, too) are like. Otherwise, it's very nice and is true to size, worth the price.

The Casino Mini Rail & Museum is run totally by volunteers for the enjoyment of families and for those who wish to know more about railways, particularly the railway in this area.
Proceeds generated by the mini rail, annual membership fees, rides, and donations are all put back into the mini rail for maintenance of track/rolling stock and surroundings, rents and rates.
The railway track is a dual gauge line consisting 7¼ & 5 inch gauges. It is the largest dual gauge track in New South Wales, and the second largest in Australia. A round trip on our mini rail is around 25 minutes at a cost of $5 per person. All of our drivers are trained, qualified and licensed.

Eighteen current and former Eastside Eagles gathered together Saturday evening at Cousins Middle School to play in the fourth annual Eastside High School Alumni soccer match.
I took first-year Eastside head coach Troy Hoff and his eight year old son to lunch at Bullritos on Wednesday. We talked for almost an hour with the discussion spanning different topics such as how different the game is today, his history in football, the upcoming year for Eastside and more.
On May 29 Eastside High School had nine students leave for Chicago to represent the state of Georgia in the High School National Championship Academic Bowl. Eric Adams, the teacher at Eastside went with them plus Dave Gregory, another parent.
Eastside boys basketball has a history of success. With the exit of former head coach Greg Freeman, there will be a new regime in town under newly hired head coach Brent Wren.
Eastside's new girls' basketball coach is home. A Covington native, Gladys King - formerly Rockdale County High School girls head basketball coach - will take over for former Lady Eagles head coach Matthew Jackson, after accepting the job this spring.
It's been a tremendous year for Eastside sophomore athlete Eric Stokes. Just in his second year in high school and Stokes earned the starting running back position at the beginning of the football season, he was ranked second in the 400m heading into state, he's been offered by Georgia State and now he's a state champion.
EHS senior soccer players Tyrik Francis and Haley Walden have been selected to play in the DiVarsity.com's 2015 Georgia High School Association All-Star Soccer game in Marietta on Sunday, May 17th at Sprayberry High School. Both played in last year's all-star game proudly representing Eastside High School. They will head to Sprayberry High School to compete against the best soccer players from all classifications in the state of Georgia. Haley will play defender on the 22-member white team, and take on the blue team in a 2 p.m. contest. Tyrik will play forward on the boys ...
With a combined score of 290 Eastside girls' golf placed third at sectionals a little over one week ago, just seven strokes behind second place. The Lady Eagles will now try for a state championship on Monday when they travel to Applewood Golf Course in Keysville.
Last week, Eastside traveled down to Wayne County where they, as No. 4 seed, upset the No. 1 seeded Yellow Jackets 4-1 pitting them against Whitewater in the second round, which took place in Fayetteville on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Eagles were outmatched by a Whitewater team that made some incredible shots on its way to an 8-0 win over Eastside.
When the 2014 high school football season began, Carlos Huggins was mostly a skilled and slightly undersized linebacker, but that changed when the Eagles running back depth chart was bitten by the injury bug.
One thing I've found to be true in creating these All-Area teams is that the Newton/Rockdale area has a lot of impressive ball players. There is a lot of talent at this level and plenty that have the talent to play at the next level. With that said below you'll find the first and second All-Area teams for the 2014-2015 school year. Because there's so much talent some players were left out, but that doesn't take away from each player's individual ability. There are some positions loaded with talent whereas others there are only ...

Other than a stellar fifth inning that saw Newton score all five of its runs, Eastside - rocking the pink unis on Monday - owned the game and the rivalry this season making them 2-0 to finish the series against its rival, as the Lady Eagles ran away with a 13-5 victory.
This isn't David vs. Goliath. Eastside (2-0 Region 4-AAAA) is too good of a team to be David, but Griffin (2-0 Region 4-AAAA), ranked No. 3 in the state by maxpreps.com, is definitely goliath-level football. A better comparison would probably be Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed - the first time - with Eastside being Rocky and Griffin, the undisputed champion, being Apollo.
Eastside's theme for the football season is 'don't quit.' That theme couldn't have rung more truly than in Friday night's game on the road against Madison County. The Eagles came away with a thrilling victory in overtime, winning 28-21 in the extra period after trailing by seven with less than four minutes to go. In this exclusive Q&A, Eagles head coach Rick Hurst recaps the Eagles eventful win against Madison and the 97-yard drive that made it happen.
Coming off its 30-point victory over Alcovy, Eastside is set to play at Madison County, a team that's 2-0 with a strong balanced attack on offense.
Catherine Lee made history on Tuesday, as she was the first softball player to have her jersey (No.27) retired by Eastside High School. We sat down with Lee for a few minutes to talk about what it meant for her, life after college and if she'd ever consider coaching.
In one of the quickest games I've seen in a while, Eastside High School managed to run-rule Griffin, 8-0 in five innings.
Catherine Lee, former catcher for Eastside High School softball, will have her jersey retired on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 5 p.m.
With its strong running game Eastside pounded the ball and Alcovy into submission, winning 36-6 over city-rival Alcovy.
Both Alcovy and Eastside have starting lineups majorly made up of either sophomores and/or freshmen. The question coming into the game was "which team's inexperience would show more?" The answer to that question is Alcovy, as their inexperience showed throughout the game where they fell 36-6 to the Eagles.
Point University Skyhawks / NAIA (5-12-2 in 2013) / Appalachian Athletic Conference
The Covington News: How's the team doing as far as the new coaches go?
In what looked to be a runaway victory at one point for Eastside High School, turned out to be a dramatic finish, but the Eagles showed resiliency and escaped with a 5-4 victory over Alcovy.
The Eastside High School softball alumni returned on Saturday for the first annual alumni game, but also to support the Wright family. James Wright was tragically injured in a car accident and left paralyzed. The proceeds of the game went to the Wright family.
