At the start of a new fitness program, you clean up your diet and hit the workouts, and the weight seems to fall off. But when you get down to the last 5, 10, or 15 pounds you want to lose, the scale may suddenly refuse to budge. You might be tempted to drastically reduce calories or increase the amount of time you spend working out. Don't do it. Instead, here are some simple tricks to help you lose those last 10 pounds.
Cutting calories too low will cause your body to think it's starving, and it will hold on to the fat you're trying so hard to lose. Working out longer will cut into your personal time and probably won't help you drop those last few pounds anyway. Instead, try making these tweaks to your program.

Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is repeat everything I am grateful for. That really sets the tone for the day to be a really positive one.
I feel so strongly about writing and reciting at least five positive affirmations during the day to reprogram my mind and manifest what I want in my life instead of what I don't want. It is so easy to slip into negative thinking. As soon as a negative thought pops up, I try my best to flip that switch and immediately counter it with a positive and uplifting thought.
Since I've been doing this, I've noticed that I am much calmer, and I don't overreact to things like I used to. I try to either find a solution or find something positive or a lesson I need to be learning. For me, it's about living in the moment and making each one count.
Also, I ask myself, what is the alternative? To feel miserable, to have anxiety, to worry about everything, and to be unhealthy and not feel great about myself? Who needs that, right? When I exercise, I feel in control. It makes me feel empowered, strong, and productive for the rest of the day. After I finish, I have a bounce in my step, I am energized, and I smile a lot more! Not to mention, my jeans fit better!
When stuff happens that gets me down, I like to reboot by either watching my DVD of The Secret or reading a few chapters from one of my favorite books, A New Earth, or a few inspiring messages from Marianne Williamson. I recommend everyone follow her through Twitter®. She has pearls of wisdom that I continually try to apply in my life.
I get excited about life by participating and getting involved. Whether it's music, dancing, volunteer work, traveling, writing, reading, calling an old friend, or learning about something new, the possibilities and opportunities are endless, and the sky is the limit.
You just need to open up your mind, expand your imagination and awareness, and JUMP INTO LIFE!
When I really need to get out of myself, I commune with nature. Nothing will snap me into the present moment faster than that, except walking my adorable puppy Barney!
I say LIVE LIFE NOW. Be the best person you can be right now! Follow your passions, and be kind to yourself.
And exercise because:
Be conscious and commit to making this day your very best day!
. . . And all that starts by PUSHING PLAY!

April 11, 2013
By Chelsea Einerwold, Assistant Communications Director
The 2012-13 Lobo skiing season was one of ups and downs that culminated with one of New Mexico's best all-around team performances of the year at the NCAA Championships held the second weekend in March. The Lobos brought home an individual title, earned by Joonas Rasanen in the men's slalom, and finished sixth overall to maintain its streak of 30-consecutive seasons of placing in the top-10 at nationals.
Head coach Fredrik Landstedt rates the season as "good," but notes that it wasn't an easy one as the Lobos were plagued by injury and sickness.
"It was a tough year," he said. "We had four or five people on the team that didn't ski -- scholarship athletes that didn't ski--because of injuries or sicknesses. Having all those people that coudn't race, or didn't race consistently, really hurt for the season because there were too few on the team to make up for it.
"It was good overall -- not necessarily the season we wanted to have, but we were a little thin."
The injured list included three Lobo All-Americans in Pierre Niess, Anne Cecilie Brusletto and Armin Triendl.
Niess battled a lingering sickness all season and has decided to give up collegiate skiing. The senior was a three-year letterwinner for UNM and earned All-America honors as a freshman (2010) for placing seventh in the 10K classic race at NCAAs.
Brusletto redshirted last season due to a flare-up of a leg injury sustained pre-UNM racing days and, after competing in one RMISA event, was again dealing with a lot of pain. She finishes her career as a four-time All-American. She placed fourth in the slalom and sixth in the giant slalom at the 2010 NCAAs and in 2011, placed seventh in the slalom and eighth in the giant slalom.
Triendl, the 2012 RMISA Male Skier of the Year and 2012 RMISA Alpine MVP, placed in two RMISA events before sustaining a season-ending knee injury in early January. The native of Oberperfuss, Austria, earned All-America accolades last season for placing fifth in the giant slalom at nationals.
Sjur Prestsaeter and Anniken Bratlie were the other two 'Bos who battled injury/illness. Prestsaeter was able to compete at NCAAs, but he wasn't healthy most of the season. Anniken Bratlie redshirted the 2012-13 season due to a leg injury.
The Lobos placed as high as third in regular-season Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association competitions - with the podium finish coming at the first meet of the season, Colorado's Spencer Nelson Memorial Invite in January. UNM placed fourth in the remaining four invites and had one event win: a men's Alpine team victory at New Mexico's home meet the weekend of Feb. 9-10 in Red River. A positive for Landstedt and the Lobos was that they came together at the right time: the second weekend in March in Middlebury, Vt.
"I think the NCAAs overall was probably our best meet all year as a team," Landstedt said. "Everybody skied well and skied hard.
"The Alpine guys -- Joonas Rasanen definitely skied as well as he could've getting the win -- and Chris Acosta had awesome races. Michael Bansmer had a good GS and had a bit of bad luck in the slalom. On the women's side, Mateja Robnik had a pretty good slalom and Kate Williams and Mary Rachel Hostetter skied around where they were all year. "On the Nordic side, we had three people on the team who had their best races or as good as their best races all year at the NCAAs. Mats Rudin Resaland skied really well and Clara Chauvet and Christian Otto had their best races of the year.
"Linn Håvelsrud Klaesson, Anni Nord and Sjur Prestsaeter pretty much skied the way they've been skiing all year - no better, no worse, just solid races."
Landstedt said what the Lobos lacked at the Big Dance was domination in a few events.
"It seems that to be up there in the top five (of the final standings), we really need some events where we score over 100 points and then we can afford to have a really bad event," he explained. Rasanen, a sophomore from Helinski, Finland, became the 26th individual national champion in New Mexico athletics history (all sports), and the 13th Lobo skier to accomplish such a feat.
Rasanen won the men's slalom race on March 8 and helped the Lobos post the second-best team score of that day with 169 points -- a performance that was instrumental in keeping UNM in the top six final standings. The 2013 NCAA Championships were hosted by Middlebury College, and included on event each day, March 6-9. Action began with the giant slalom and the Lobos were paced by Acosta who earned his fifth All-American honor with a fourth-place finish. The Alpiners tallied 144 points and were in sixth place after the opening day.
On the second day of nationals, Resaland finished runner-up in the men's 10K classic and helped the Lobos move up one spot in the standings to fifth place (280 points).
Day three was perhaps the most exciting day for New Mexico as Rasanen captured the men's slalom race. The sophomore was in third place after the first run as he posted a time of 48.09. The second run featured slips from many of the contenders and Rasanen took advantage, posting a solid second run in 50.87 for a total time of 1:38.96. The team held on to its fifth-place standing with 449 points.
Two other Lobos earned national honors that day as Acosta finished tied for eighth place with Colorado's Kasper Hietanen, and on the women's side, sophomore Mateja Robnik finished ninth.
New Mexico had one more All-American on the final day of competition as Resaland took sixth in the men's 20K mass-start freestyle race. New Mexico finished sixth overall with 576 points, getting edged by Dartmouth, which posted 594.
Colorado posted the biggest final-day comeback in the history of the NCAA Skiing Championships, shining in the Nordic mass start freestyle races to earn its 18th national title under NCAA jurisdiction and 19th total as the Buffalo women took the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) crown in 1982.
"You need some luck to be up there, it's close, the times were all so close," Landstedt said. "Chris Acosta was just two-tenths of a second from winning and he finished fourth (in the giant slalom).
"On the Nordic side, Mats was four seconds from winning the classical race and Christian was among ten guys within ten seconds in one race, so it gets very close and there are a lot of points at stake. To be up there, you really need people finishing in the top eight."
Goals for next season include having more bodies -- healthy bodies -- that can compete consistently. "We need to have six guys and six women on the Alpine side and five and five on the Nordic side," Landstedt said. "It's a goal to have people healthy and hopefully we'll have a little more luck there next year." New Mexico says so long and good luck to nine student-athletes who fulfilled their eligibility with the 2012-13 season. From Alpine: Acosta, Brusletto, Hostetter, Williams and Chriss Salbu. From Nordic: Klaesson, Niess, Ingrid Leask and Eivind Odden Solberg.
Acosta leaves UNM as a four-year All-American and six national honors -- he's just the third Lobo men's Alpiner and the sixth Lobo skier to earn national honors all four years. Acosta ranks second in Lobo skiing history for most men's All-America honors. Seven national accolades is the most of any Lobo skier, which has been done by three individuals in the history of the program.
Hostetter and Williams were both four-year NCAA participants -- Hostetter went twice with Denver, and twice with UNM after transferring prior to the 2011-12 season. Williams earned All-America honors as a freshman in 2012 for placing ninth in the slalom at NCAAs. Hostetter's highest finish of her career came this season when she placed third in the slalom at the CU/Spencer Nelson Memorial Invite on Jan. 9. Williams tallied three top-five finishes this season and placed a season-high fourth in the giant slalom at the RMISA Alpine Qualifier hosted by CU on Jan. 11.
Salbu earned four letters in his four seasons with the Lobos. He logged three top-20 finishes as a junior and placed a career-best fifth place in the slalom at UNM's home meet in 2011.
Leask tied for 19th in the 5K classic race at UNM's home meet this season -- her career best. She had two top-20 finishes in her time as a Lobo.
Solberg placed a career-best 22nd four times during the 2011-12 season and finished as high as 24th in the 10K freestyle at UNM's Invite this season.
Returning Lobos for Alpine include Courtney Altringer, Michael Bansmer, Sean Horner, Mark Miller, Juho-Pekka Penttinen, Rasanen, Robnik, and Triendl. Returning on the Nordic side are: Bratlie, Chauvet, Anita Kirvesniemi, Nord, Otto, Prestsaeter and Resaland.
Head Alpine coach Joe Downing returns for his second season with UNM. He coached the downhill skiers to tremendous success in his first year, mentoring a national champion in Rasanen and two other All-Americans in Acosta and Robnik. All together the Alpiners had six individual first-place finishes and a total of 30 top-five individual finishes in 2012-13.

Go heavy! Perform squats with 300, 500, 800 pounds and more! The Leverage Squat Machine is the strongest machine in its class and can handle the heaviest loads with ease. This machine is built for those who want it all...power, mass, and performance! Olympic style plates only. Weight plates optional.
The first thing I noticed is that it takes a little getting used to. With plates on it there is a little work just to get under the pads and the feet into the proper spot on the angled foot plate. I'm not that tall (5'11") but I still have to squat way down to get into position but its not that terrible. I suppose if your very tall you might find that somewhat uncomfortable. Ive read reviews of the Powertec leverage squat and a taller reviewer said he had issues with it so maybe its just something you go through with these types of machines.
Now to the important part...the workout. First off the angled foot plate allows for multiple foot positions which is great because you can work your legs slightly differently depending on foot position. One thing that took some getting used to is leaning back into the pads that go behind your back. With your feet on the angled plate you almost have to lean back into those pads, which felt odd to me, but it makes for a comfortable lifting position. While lifting your back feels totally removed from the move which in a traditional squat the back is highly involved. There is an adjustable pin to determine how low you can go into the movement, I personally put it lower because I like to go deeper into the move. Its very comfortable though, Id almost compare it to more of a leg press or hack squat feeling than a squat because its that much easier on the back than a regular squat.
Calves are good to work with this. The calf block isnt quite high enough to get a really deep stretch at the bottom but its curved and doesnt dig into your foot like a square block would.
Okay there are a few quirks to this item that I should go into. The directions suck! Fortunately I bought this item from a local distributor and they did the assembly but go to the bodysolid site and look at the manual. Yep, no step by step instructions just an exploded view diagram. No usage instructions in the manual either although use isn't so complicated you cant figure it out. My main issue is with the locking pin. There's a lever that you move and I don't know if its just me but it seems that to get into the exercise I lift the weight then have to deal with that start-stop lever, rep out then deal with it yet again. Maybe I'm just not used to it but it seems sort of awkward to use with a few hundred pounds on your back.
Overall though its probably the best product for what it is for. Just be sure you have enough weights to use because I'm sure that you can build some big legs and calves with the help of this machine!
When I got enough of the main frame built,(didn't add the footplate yet;too heavy) I took it out to the garage to finish 'er up. It is a heavy and awkward load at this point (without the arm assembly);you;ll need help to move it.
It did take me about 4 hours to put this thing together but ,truthfully, I wasn't in a hurry. The average person can build this thing!
This machine works the way I'd hoped. I can't complain about the workout.I realized just how creaky my knees were during the test process. I know I'll get better with each workout. Want a lower body workout? This is the ticket! Most important, this machine is relatively SAFE to use. You will not get stranded with weights you can't offload.
Also,there is an ability to relocate a steel pin that allows for a deeper knee bend.
Except for the poor assembly instructions, I would have given this machine 5 stars.--also, don't expect any advice on lifting techniques or any other "how to"; none was included.
You will need a crescent wrench and some metric sockets to complete this project. 2 hex keys are included.You will also need Olympic weights.NOTE: Olympic weights can be had on the used market for less than 1/2 the price of new weight

The Hounds went on the road to whip Manchester 41-26 in the football championship game last Wednesday.
Drake Bolus caught a touchdown pass from Dustin Hostetter, threw one to Coleman Roberts, returned a kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown and ran for two more scores to lead the Hounds. Roberts also returned a fumble for another touchdown, and Josh Skinner kicked several extra points for Gray Station.
"It was a great game," coach Travis Lawson said. "The crowd was amazing. We had twice as many fans as they did, and it was a two-hour drive for us.
"I'm very proud of our boys. They worked really hard all season and again last week to get ready for a tough Manchester team. It was a great season."
It was the fourth championship in football for the Hounds. They also have three runner-up finishes.

COLUMBIA — The Department of Revenue was more concerned with keeping employees from accessing news, sports and social media websites on their work computers than protecting taxpayer data like Social Security numbers, a former computer security chief at the agency said Thursday.
Scott Shealy told a S.C. House committee investigating hacked tax records at the Revenue Department that he spoke to his bosses for several years about how information should be encrypted and employees should be required to enter a code or scan a thumbprint to access the information.
Computer security experts said either step could have lessened the impact or stopped the hacker who accessed 4 million state tax returns and likely stole Social Security numbers, bank account information and other sensitive data.
Shealy said Mike Garon, the Department of Revenue's former chief information officer, was a micromanager who didn't listen to the advice of those under him.
"As a security officer, I was unable to adequately perform my job function because I did not have the support of my CIO," said Shealy, who spoke publicly for the first time since leaving the agency to work elsewhere in state government a year before the hacking in September 2011.
Garon resigned in September, while the hacker was accessing the agency's computer and a month before the security breach was revealed. The agency has refused to say why Garon quit, but said it was unrelated to the hacking. He has not spoken publically.
Phone numbers for Garon had been disconnected Thursday, and he has refused to return messages from The Associated Press before. The Revenue Department also refused to address Shealy's specific allegations, instead releasing a statement that read: "As an agency we are focusing on what we can do in the future to safeguard taxpayer data to help prevent similar occurrences."
Shealy testified for more than an hour, his voice and hands sometime shaking. He told the agency the hacking incident hurt him deeply.
"I was very discouraged, because I take it personally as being one that worked for many years with security within the organization," Shealy said.
He left the Revenue Department to handle computer information for Chief Justice Jean Toal. The agency didn't replace him for a year, and Shealy said former colleagues phoned him to ask for information like the password for the agency's firewall, meant to keep out cyber intruders. He told them it should have been changed not long after he left, and he later found out that it was likely changed several times without employees being told.
Shealy said the agency also cut back on efforts to teach employees how to be careful with their computers and prevent cyber scams. An outside investigation found the hacker likely was first able to enter Revenue's computer system by getting an employee to click on a malicious link and spent a month undetected, setting up other ways to get in the system before stealing the data.
It didn't seem like a clever or hard-to-detect scheme, said Shealy, who added that the incident could have been even worse if the hacker managed to get into a different system where Revenue employees can access Department of Motor Vehicle information or databases of licensed employees to help in audits.
"There is more information within that organization than just tax information, or taxpayer information," Shealy said. "It requires a high level of security and a high level of management and oversight. And that fell very short."

Jeff Erbskorn, who will join the staff of St. Paul Lutheran Church on Trail Ridge Road later this month, has a favorite quote.
"I like to say, 'The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints,' because we're all broken," explained Erbskorn, who will serve as St. Paul's associate pastor. "We find hope and meaning in the church."
Erbskorn, 43, is a native of Huntsville, Ala. He was ordained in 1996 after graduating from the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia.
"My style is to reach out to both the young and the old and especially to folks who have given up on the church," Erbskorn said. "In a world that seems to be going crazy, it's important to find a sense of hope, and I really believe the church has lot to offer in that regard."
Erbskorn is scheduled to begin working at St. Paul May 20. He will preach during the 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. services on May 26 and he will be available to meet church members at the 9:45 a.m. service. Erbskorn's installation is set for 4 p.m. on the same day at St. Paul's.
"My mother was a Southern Baptist and my dad was a German Lutheran," Erbskorn said. "I got the best of both worlds because the Baptists do a tremendous job of witnessing and talking about their faith while the Lutherans tend to be service-oriented and a little bit more quiet. I believe we need both types in the church, so it works out well."
Erbskorn is coming to St. Paul from North Carolina, where he is the senior pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church in Shelby. Prior to holding that position, Erbskorn was the associate pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church in Spartanburg and the senior pastor at Transfiguration Lutheran Church in Cayce.
"One of the many things that excites me about St. Paul is the opportunity to work in a team ministry, which I did when I was at St. John's Lutheran Church," Erbskorn said. "With a team, you can provide a deeper, fuller ministry because each staff member brings a variety of gifts for the congregation. You can do more outreach and you can do more 'in-reach,' so you have a more balanced ministry."

Rashard Alston says hes been having a blast playing football on the world stage in Kuwait.
But now play time is over, he adds.
The United States team will take on Canada on Wednesday at 4 p.m. for the IFAF U19 World Championship.
It will mean everything to me, said Alston, a running back for the USA team. This isnt about me anymore. Its such a bigger picture. Im playing for my teammates, my family and, most importantly, the country. Anything less then a gold medal will be a failure and I will feel like a letdown to my country. We absolutely have to do this.
Both USA and Canada were 3-0 in pool play, with nothing less than dominating performances showing up on the slate. USA has beaten Mexico (49-14), Germany (54-0) and Japan (43-0).
Canada has hammered France (56-0) and Kuwait (91-0), along with a 36-7 win over Austria.
Alston has totaled over 100 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the USA. He scored on runs of 8 and 4 yards against Germany and plunged ahead for a 2-yard touchdown run in the win over Japan on Sunday.
Alston is a sophomore at Newberry College and in line to start this fall for the Wolves.
At GCHS, Alston was a three-sport athlete. He also played basketball and ran track for the Gators.
As a senior running back, he rushed for 786 yards and nine touchdowns to help power GCHS to a 13-0 record.
As a junior, he had 256 yards and one touchdown during the Gators state championship season.

I believe in what historic Christianity has taught for nearly 2,000 years. There have always been plenty of people who profess to believe the same thing, but have not let their lives reflect their claimed beliefs. Jesus of the Bible is full of mercy and compassion, unlike many who say they follow him. He didn't condone sin, but also didn't condemn sinners - He offered forgiveness and mercy at every turn. The only people Jesus blasted in the Gospels were the extremely religious leaders who He compared to 'whitewashed tombstones.'
That being said, my core beliefs in God are reflected in the Nicene Creed, as follows.
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

This weekend, the Haydars are traveling to New Hampshire one more time because of their son's hockey career. But instead of re-enacting those 1,200-mile round-trip drives along I-90, Frank and Pauline rode on a plane Thursday with Darren and his wife, Sara.
The occasion? Haydar, along with five others, will be inducted into New Hampshire's Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday afternoon at Lundholm Gymnasium. He was an easy choice for the honor after piling up 102 goals, 117 assists, and 219 points (all top three on UNH's career lists) in 158 games for the Wildcats.
"I'm just excited to go back," Haydar said. "It's going to be a nice weekend. It'll be great to see the coaching staff. Our coach (Dick Umile) is still coaching and our assistant (Brian McCloskey) is the head coach of the women's team."
New Hampshire reached two Frozen Fours during Haydar's career, which included a trip to the national championship game in 1999. He was among the three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award in 2002 after a remarkable senior year (31 goals and 45 assists in 40 games). And it won't be as a surprise to Chicago Wolves fans that New Hampshire's fans voted Haydar as the team's most exciting player following each of his final three seasons.
"I think I always made time for the fans," Haydar said. "I think that goes a long way. And it probably helped that I burst on the scene as a freshman and people were aware of who I was."
When Haydar showed up on New Hampshire's campus in the fall of 1998, the team's best player and co-captain was a senior by the name of Jason Krog. It didn't take long before a connection blossomed on the ice and a long-standing friendship developed off the ice.
"He was a really good prospect coming out of juniors," Krog said. "He had some crazy numbers (for the Tier II Junior Milton Merchants). When we first met for captain's practices that fall, we developed a little bit of chemistry. We think the game the same way. We see plays developing the same way."
Krog and Haydar joined forces instantly on New Hampshire's first line and led the Wildcats all the way to the national championship game. UNH reached the Frozen Four on a Haydar overtime goal that was set up, naturally, by Krog.
"I had to do all the hard work for him," Krog said with a laugh.
"Believe it or not, Jason was working hard in the corner," Haydar joked. "But seriously, he won a battle in the corner and threw the puck in front of the net. I just chipped it in. The goalie wasn't sure where the puck was."
After that overtime win against Michigan, UNH knocked off Michigan State (the other finalist for Haydar's collegiate services) 5-3 in the semifinals. Then came the team's fifth meeting of the year with Maine. They split the first four, though the Wildcats felt they had the momentum after crushing the Black Bears in their two most recent games. Despite a Haydar short-handed goal, Maine earned the NCAA title with a 3-2 win in double overtime.
Krog wrapped up his career with the 1999 Hobey Baker Award while Haydar kept going. During his senior year, UNH reeled off 10 straight wins to reach another Frozen Four. Once again, Maine ended the Wildcats' season.
"We had some unlucky bounces early in the game and never caught up," Haydar said.
Shortly thereafter, Haydar launched his professional career that has seen him become one of the most prolific scorers in American Hockey League history. In 10 seasons – including four with the Wolves --- Haydar has stacked up 272 goals and 459 assists in 709 regular-season games. He also ranks as the league's all-time leader in postseason points (143 in 110 games).
"Nothing's changed about him," said Krog, who teamed up with Haydar on the Wolves for three seasons, including the 2008 Calder Cup championship team. "He's very down-to-earth and modest. He's as great a guy off the ice as he is on the ice."

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
After the effects of Hurricane Irene, the Mad River Valley has been slowly recovering and rebuilding. Although many places have rebuilt there are many places that still need help to be able to be back to the way they were. I have noticed driving through The Valley areas that is still a mess from the massive flooding that occurred. We need to step up to help our neighbors, not just people but the animals whose habitats have been disrupted by such a devastating natural disaster.
In the most recent issue of The Valley Reporter, there was an article about the wild trout population and how it is affected by flooding. A graph from the Department of Fish and Wildlife showed the effects after a flood in 1998 where the trout population plummeted and took about three years to recover. The flooding from Irene was significantly worse than the flood in 1998, causing the trout population to plummet. The roadwork has an effect on the trout habitat because of much gravel and topsoil that has to be removed from the river after the flood damage. We need to be conscious of the habitats of wildlife in our area; with fishing season starting this weekend, fishing enthusiasts should be considerate of the low population of trout and go to other areas to fish so that the Mad River watershed can have time to recover.
The other area that needs help is cleaning debris from around the river. The hay bales that were picked up by the water and moved downstream have caused pieces of plastic to be all around the riverbanks and distracts from the beauty of the river. There is also trash, dead trees and brush that have been carried downstream and crowded the area around the river. When trash is left lying around it puts the lives of animals, especially birds, at risk. This problem needs to be fixed so that The Valley can look and feel as good as it did before the flood.
The cleaning and rebuilding of the Mad River Valley will take lots of time and effort, but we need to remember that even though it seems better now we can always do more and can't forget what we can do for our community. Even if it isn't your land or space, we have to help our neighbors and rebuild our valley so that we can enjoy it even more.

For service members, a loving, resilient marriage is both a matter of personal happiness and family readiness. When family relationships are strong and healthy, service members are better able to focus on their mission and their day to day duty requirements. Even if you have a good relationship with your spouse now, good relationships can often be even better, and great ones generally need care and attention to stay that way. There are many things you can do, from making time to talk to planning regular "date nights," to make your marriage loving and lasting. Read on to find out more about what makes relationships thrive and for ideas to help bring you and your spouse closer together.
What makes you a great couple? It may begin with knowing yourselves and not trying to change each other. Loving, long-term partnerships aren't born; they grow from acceptance, commitment, ritual and empathy. Try these strategies to help you strengthen your connection:
"Maintenance" might sound like something for your car, but marriages need care to run smoothly and last a long time too. And since your marriage is more valuable than your car, it deserves at least as much time, thought and effort. Here are a few practical tips for a happy, "high-mileage" marriage:
Take the pulse of your relationship. Look carefully at your relationship from time to time, figure out what's working and what isn't, and decide together on the changes and compromises each of you is willing to make.
Discuss how you feel about your time together. Is it enough? Do you wish spending time together was a higher priority for your spouse? Are you communicating clearly, honestly, and frequently about things that bother you? Put all the issues on the table and begin making the changes that will bring you into more harmony.
Make a habit of talking frequently. Just a quick phone call to touch base can help give you both a sense of continuity. Some people use a phone call during the day as a way to settle family business, so that when they do get home they are freer to simply enjoy each other's company.
Plan ahead for roadblocks. Think about and discuss situations that you already know cause friction. For example, you may have disagreements about who stays home from work when a child is sick or how to celebrate the holidays. Preparing a game plan in advance can ensure that you're both on the same page and avoid conflict when such occasions arise.
Share household chores. Research shows that women spend more time on household chores than men do. The result can be a mountain of resentment. Running the household together takes work on the part of both partners. Be willing to pull your weight or to work out who does what so that you're both satisfied.
Be flexible. No matter how well you and your spouse talk about your differences, you won't agree on everything. In fact, your differences are probably part of what attracted you to each other in the first place. Recognize that not all differences of opinion have to be resolved. Sometimes you just need to agree to disagree.
Give each other space. Your relationship will be stronger and more interesting if you give your spouse time and space without you. Remember that one person can't possibly meet all your needs. Both you and your spouse must keep and nurture outside friendships and interests.
Conflicts and disagreements are a normal part of a healthy marriage. Expect to have differences of opinion and sometimes major eruptions. The disagreement is less important than both of you knowing and being willing to fight fairly.
Don't say hurtful things when you fight. It's hard to show restraint in the heat of an argument, but your discussion will be more productive if you're able to say what you mean without being mean-spirited.
Schedule a time to talk about what happened when you've had an argument. Choose a time that's convenient for both of you and a place where you can really concentrate and hear each other.
Be respectful. Listen courteously while your spouse expresses feelings and needs, and acknowledge them.
Make "I" statements that express your feelings. For example, try "I feel hurt when you leave the dinner table without thanking me for cooking," instead of "you" statements, such as "You're selfish because you leave the dinner table without saying thanks."
Keep your focus on the issue at hand. Avoid the temptation to resurrect events and evidence from your history as a couple.
Learning to fight fairly is an important skill in a relationship. Learning to resolve conflict is another. Here are some other ideas that may help:
Trade off a bad habit. Are you always running fifteen minutes late? Is your spouse a world-class procrastinator? Do you leave magazines strewn around the living room floor? Over time, these kinds of "small" annoyances can cause big problems. Strike a deal with your spouse-each of you will drop a bad habit that bothers the other.
Remember your spouse's good qualities. In the hubbub of everyday living, it's easy to dwell on the negative. But for every dirty dish left in the sink, your spouse has likely done a dozen wonderful things you simply couldn't live without. Get into the habit of looking for your spouse's positive traits.
Notice and acknowledge what your spouse is doing for you and your family. Saying thanks will remind you of your spouse's efforts. Hearing it will make your spouse feel valued and encourage more of the same actions. Make showing and giving verbal appreciation to your spouse a daily habit.
If you feel stuck, your relationship may benefit from professional help. Therapists and counselors are trained to help you develop new perceptions of yourself and the way you relate to others, which can lead to a renewed understanding of and closeness with your spouse.
Military OneSource can help provide you with resources and help connect you with a non-medical counselor. Additionally, Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) are available to provide non-medical counseling services. You can contact them through your installation's Family Support Center.
Good, rocky, or somewhere in the middle, the current state of your relationship is less important than you and your spouse's willingness to work to get closer and grow. If the desire and commitment are there, then together, you and your spouse can keep your relationship fresh, strong, and close.

Help and advice for Kennoway, Fife
Help with Family History problems
So you are having problems researching your family history. This is something that we all suffer from, and one of the best ways of getting help is to join a Family History Society. Fife is served by two Societies.
If you want an answer quickly, then join one of the genealogy Mailing Lists such as RootsChat - Fife or RootsWeb - Fife, mailing lists for anyone with a genealogical or historical interest in Fife.
Please DO NOT send your problems to, or ask research advice from, the Fife page maintainer, as he has neither the detailed local knowledge that you require, nor the time to provide such a service.
Help with surnames
A useful way of contacting others researching your surname(s) of interest is to search the Roots Surnames List, which has international coverage.
The other source or place to look is the surname lists that individuals maintain for particular locations. Have a look at the Kingdom of Fife Surnames List.
You can of course also submit your own surname interests to these lists. You should also check to see if anyone is conducting a "One-Name" study on your surname(s) of interest. The Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS) provides a Register of One-Name Studies.
Contributing information
If you want to supply information about your own family, or a link to your family web page, then I'm sorry but you're out of luck. We are trying to provide information that will interest most users, and that would tend to be swamped by personal information. Links to personal pages are also a maintenance nightmare, as experience has shown that they change URLs or disappear quite frequently. I suggest you use the surname lists for this purpose.
Now if that hasn't put you off, it is quite likely that you may have some information or know some basic facts that will be of use to other people. If you have anything relating to Kennoway and would like to make it available to others, then please get in touch using the form below. It may be something you have written, or some out-of-copyright material that you have transcribed that you think may be of interest - or just some little piece of information such as the name of a book about Kennoway, the name of a local history society or similar society web page that we should link to. But please do remember, we are not looking for family-specific material, just material of general interest.
For example look at pages such as Dunfermline or Dysart. That's bound to give you some ideas of what can be provided. In particular I need to know the basic items, which frequently need a bit of local knowledge, for example:
- Is there more information held in a local library which isn't listed here?
- Are there any other estate records known for Kennoway?
- Are there any other census indexes or lists of monumental inscriptions, and who publishes them? If they exist but aren't published, where do you find them?
- Is there a local history or other society that may have relevant information?
- Have any books been published about Kennoway?
- Then there are details of what other useful records exist, have they been published, etc.
So if you have any of this information, and it's not currently on one of the Fife pages, then do let us know on the form at the bottom of the page.
Reporting problems
If you have information to contribute, or you have found a problem on any of the Fife pages, then please report it on the following form.
Send message to William Owen
|The GENUKI service provides information for those with interests in family history & genealogy. You will find information in it about, places, churches, register offices etc. but it has no connection with such bodies. Please bear this in mind when composing your message.
The following header will appear at the start of the email, and your name and email address will be added at the end.

One of the area's most active leaders has decided to run again. First Ward City Councilman Kevin Johnson has decided to seek reelection.
"I got my papers (petitions) yesterday (Monday), and I'll be starting tomorrow (Wednesday), going door to door, getting signatures."
Johnson said he needs 50 signatures, but prefers to get at least 100. He is hopeful the newly-organized City Council will move the city forward.
"I'm meeting with (new President of Council) Steve (Sturgill) tomorrow (Wednesday), just for a sit down," Johnson said. "I think he has some great ideas, and he's picking up on my wanting us to have a Council committee structure, because we never really have enough time at these Council meetings to get in depth with the issues with our directors."
Sturgill told Council Monday night he would like to see at least four Council committees on which Council members would sit.
"I would like to have an economic development committee," Sturgill said. "With some things that are going to happen over the next year, I think this would give us a chance to sit down with the county and the village of New Boston and take a proactive role in things that we can do to try to save the taxpayers' money, and quit the duplication of services."
Sturgill said he would also like to see an Enterprise Funds committee and a General Fund committee.
"I'd like to have a legislative committee as well, to continue Mr. Johnson's work to try and look at some of these ordinances and things that we may want to change, as a way to move forward." Sturgill said. "And last but not least, I would like to continue with the building committee."
Johnson said he recently met with Portsmouth Police Chief Robert Ware, and he said he would like to have more meetings with department heads.
"But we can't do that unless we establish a committee structure that allows us to just focus on one thing and get something done," Johnson said.
Johnson recently sent the message to First Ward residents by e-mail and Facebook, inviting them to an event this coming weekend.
"I have been honored to serve you these past three years on Portsmouth City Council," Johnson said in the message. "After much deliberation I have decided to run for reelection. Therefore I need a minimum 50 signatures to get on the ballot. And I need your help. Please consider stopping by my home to sign my candidate petition this Saturday, Feb. 2, from noon until 3 p.m. at my home; and perhaps enjoy a glass of wine and meet others from the ward."

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The California Drug and Alcohol Treatment Assessment (CALDATA) was designed to study the costs, benefits, and effectiveness of the state's alcohol and drug treatment infrastructure (recovery services) and specifically to assess (1) the effects of treatment on participant behavior, (2) the costs of treatment, and (3) the economic value of treatment to society. Data were collected on participants (clients) across four types of treatment programs, or modalities: residential, residential "social model," nonmethadone outpatient, and outpatient methadone (detoxification and maintenance). Data were collected in two phases. In Phase 1, treatment records were abstracted for clients who received treatment or were discharged between October 1, 1991, and September 30, 1992. In Phase 2, these clients were located and recruited for a follow-up interview. The CALDATA design and procedures included elements from several national treatment outcome studies including the Drug Services Research Survey (ICPSR 3393), Services Research Outcomes Study (ICPSR 2691), National Treatment Improvement Evaluation Study (ICPSR 2884), and Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study (ICPSR 2258). The record abstract was designed to collect identifying and locating information for interview reference during the personal interviewing phase. The abstract also collected demographic, drug, or alcohol use, and treatment and service information. The follow-up questionnaire covered time periods before, during, and after treatment and focused on topics such as ethnic and educational background, drug and alcohol use, mental and physical health, HIV and AIDS status, drug testing, illegal activities and criminal status, living arrangements and family issues, employment and income, and treatment for drug, alcohol, and mental health problems. Drugs included alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine powder, crack, downers, hallucinogens, heroin, illegal methadone, inhalants, LSD, marijuana/hashish/THC, methamphetamines and other stimulants, narcotics, over-the-counter drugs, PCP, ritalin or preludin, and sedatives/hypnotics. CALDATA was originally known as the California Outcomes Study (COS).

The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) was conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC hospitals. DC*MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16 separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which are typically not included or are underrepresented in household surveys. The Homeless and Transient Population study examines the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco use among members of the homeless and transient population aged 12 and older in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC MSA). The sample frame included respondents from shelters, soup kitchens and food banks, major cluster encampments, and literally homeless people. Data from the questionnaires include history of homelessness, living arrangements and population movement, tobacco, drug, and alcohol use, consequences of use, treatment history, illegal behavior and arrest, emergency room treatment and hospital stays, physical and mental health, pregnancy, insurance, employment and finances, and demographics. Drug specific data include age at first use, route of administration, needle use, withdrawal symptoms, polysubstance use, and perceived risk.
