Veteran Toledo broadcaster Frank Venner diesWritten by John P. McCartney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As he sits with his four brothers and one sister reminiscing about his 44 years as Frank Venner's youngest son, Dave Venner can clearly hear his father's "booming voice."
"It was different when you heard it on TV versus where you heard it when it was in-house, but it was still the same," Dave said. "Despite being a public figure in Toledo, [the job] never came home with him. It was always just Dad when he was home."
Dave's dad, Frank Courtney Venner III, 85, died Aug. 3 in the family's Old Orchard home after a three-month battle with lung cancer.
Venner hosted broadcast news, weather, commentary and a quiz show for high school students on WSPD-TV Channel 13 (now WTVG) from 1948 to 1988 and ran for the U.S. House of Representatives (9th District) seat against the then-two-year incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur in 1984.
Venner began his 40-year broadcast career with WSPD Radio immediately following two years of military service from 1946-47, in the Army Air Forces. Within months of his arrival, WSPD Radio launched its TV station on July 21, 1948. WSPD-TV became WTVG-TV in the late '70s.
Venner loved the challenge of those early years in TV, and he spoke about that time in his life in a WTVG 45-minute broadcast that originally aired April 21, 2008.
"Channel 13, for 10 years, had no competition, so, obviously, we won the race," Venner said. "But in 1958, when our second channel hit the town, WTOL, then, of course, it was dog-eat-dog, and then the ratings became extremely important."
Venner said he believed his notoriety in those early years as the "man-on-the-sidewalk" weatherman became his lasting legacy.
"'Weather in the Weather' was on for 10 years, from 1959 to 1969, and was probably the program that I became most identified with during my career," Venner said. "But the interesting aspect is that I wasn't the one who started that program. It was Jim Rudes."
Weather forecasters in those early years didn't have the computer simulation today's meteorologists enjoy. Back then, it was maps and Magic Markers.
"They would hand me a microphone," Venner said. "I would walk behind the board which had the map of the United States on it. And then one of the fascinations is that I would write backwards because I had to, so people at home could see what I was doing. So I learned to write backwards."
Venner said viewers back then were no different than the fans who attend professional football games today.
"I can remember one night it was about 15 below zero at about 11 o'clock at night," Venner said. "And a car pulled up with a bunch of college kids, and they had no shirts on. And they had to be absolutely hospital cases because it was so cold. And to add to the glamour, if you want to call it that, they were eating ice cream cones."
Venner enjoyed what his son Dave called "three distinct careers."
"First, he did 'Weather in the Weather'," Dave Venner said. "Then he did the news ('Venner-Ward Report') and 'High School Quiz' as moderator.
Venner hosted the quiz show for 25 years, taking three years off to run for Congress. He was replaced by Bill Spencer for 1983-84 and Gordon Ward for 1984-85.
"The third part of his career was doing editorials, which was totally different because that wasn't about just telling just facts of the news," Dave said. "That was about providing commentary on the news, and that was a big shift for him."
By 1988, the year he retired, Venner had worked at the same broadcast station as a radio news reporter, weatherman, roving reporter, television news anchor, game show moderator, pundit and the station's news director and editorial director.
"He loved Toledo," Dave said. "He absolutely loved Toledo. He's lived in the same family home for more than 50 years, and he couldn't think of being anywhere else in his life."
Venner, the only child of Frank C. Venner II and Virginia Grunder Venner, was born March 8, 1927. He came to Toledo in 1940 when his father accepted a transfer from Baltimore to run Toledo's IBM office.
He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1944 and University of Notre Dame in 1949 with a degree in communications.
"When he was at Notre Dame, he worked on the student radio station, and it just appealed to him a great deal," Dave said. "Both his father and his grandfather had been career IBMers. He could have pursued that, but he chose to stay true to the broadcasting, had an opportunity with WSPD and never turned back."
After college, the military and four years at WSPD, Frank married Ruth Blank on June 21, 1952. They enjoyed a 44-year marriage until Ruth died Aug. 28, 1996.
The Venners are survived by their six children: Michael, 59; Daniel, 58; Lisa Soeters, 56; Martin, 51; Jonathan, 50; and David, 44. Venner also leaves behind 11 grandchildren: Erin, Heidi and Todd Soeters and Andrew, Bailey, Bethany, Brittany, Emily, Laura, Rebecca and Reid Venner.
"Certainly his children were a big part of his life," Dave said. "From a professional standpoint, [his life was about] staying very true to his journalistic training. He was very much about expressing to the public the facts of any situation and allowing them to draw their own conclusion from the facts. That was the principle he lived by.
"He took that position, that role, very seriously. He looked at himself as an individual that people were counting on to provide them with pertinent information. And he tried to make that come alive every day. He had great respect for the profession of journalism versus just being a TV figure."
Late in his broadcast career, Venner was presented with an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Findlay College (now University of Findlay).
Family visitation is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 6 at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Ave.
A funeral mass is scheduled at 11 a.m. Aug. 7 at Gesu Catholic Church, 2049 Parkside Blvd. Burial services will be private.
Venner's children suggest that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio or the Toledo Animal Shelter in his name.
Jerry Anderson, co-anchor for ToledoNewsNow's news broadcasts on WTOL-11 and Fox 36, credited Frank Venner and his contemporaries with what Anderson called the high standard of Northwest Ohio broadcast journalism.
"I'm very much aware that these guys built the foundation," Anderson said in WTVG's broadcast that aired April 21, 2008. "They were there when television first went on the air. We're just carriers of the torch. They built the foundation. They put Channel 13 and Channel 11 on the map in this town. And we're just here, in my opinion, to try to uphold the standards."

As Fairfax County�s population continues to age, the demand for services that serve the older segment of the county�s population continue to grow as well.
The nonprofit Alzheimer�s Family Day Center in Fairfax is one organization making plans for growth. Now serving about 35 participants per day, the center is working with a developer to build a new facility in the Mantua area that could handle more than 50 participants per day in the center�s specialized adult day care program. The new location isn�t expected to open until early 2014.
�We�ve just outgrown our space here,� said Executive Director Joel Bednoski. The center, which got its start in the basement of a church, has been at its current location in Fairfax for about eight years.
In addition to the day care center, Alzheimer�s Family Day Center offers support groups for caregivers, educational series to share information about Alzheimer�s and the services available, and training for county employees. The center also offers free consultations to help caregivers develop a care plan for a family member.
The center�s clientele represents a small fraction of the estimated 13,600-plus people with Alzheimer�s or dementia in Fairfax County as of 2010, according to a July report by the Virginia Alzheimer�s Commission.
However, the center is the only one in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area that specializes in daytime care for people with memory impairments.
Bednoski said that everything that happens within the center is designed with memory-impaired people in mind.
�All of our activities are geared toward success,� he said.
The center staff collect detailed biographical information about participants before they arrive, so that staff are better prepared to understand the participants� behaviors and questions.
�If we know nothing about them, we might not know why they�re asking for �Gladys,�� Bednoski said.
Participants in the later stages of the disease, members of the �Sunshine Club,� have a different activity room than those who are in the earlier stages. Their activities are more focused on sensory stimulation than the trivia, bingo and craft activities that the �Friends Club� — participants in the early to middle stages of the disease — does.
Having people with Alzheimer�s and dementia interact with one another as peers can make their quality of life better than having them always be in an environment where they are the lowest functioning person, Bednoski said.
In that environment �they get embarrassed easily. You can see an increase in anxiety. You can see aggression,� he said. �It just does not set them up for success.�
Fairfax County also serves clients with Alzheimer�s and dementia in its five Adult Day Health Care Centers. When people become too low-functioning for the county facilities to care for them, families may be referred to the Family Day Center.
The county also offers in-home supports that, like adult day care, are designed to help keep people out of nursing homes longer and to provide support for caregivers.
�One of the greatest needs that caregivers have is to get respite, which is a break � so they can get out and do other things,� said Sharon Lynn, director of the Fairfax County Area Agency on Aging. �I can�t think of any caregiving that is more stressful than caring for someone with dementia.�
In addition to in-home care and day care, the county also operates a volunteer respite program, to allow families to get out for a few hours on evenings or weekends when the county services are not available.
Bednoski said he thinks there still is a lack of awareness among families caring for a relative with Alzheimer�s that there are a lot of supports available to them.
�We�re that in between step,� between living independently and going into nursing care, he said.

Hello All,
I have a question that still boggle's my mind. I purchased Salem's Lat about a year ago on VHS, I got a surprise when I realized it was cut, an hour of it was missing. I was surprised by this; and I still don't understand why the VHS is an hour shorter than the DVD version. I was like WTF, what genius thought this up, I eventually bought the DVD a wk after I got the VHS. Would any1 know why it was done like this, cutting a classic is wrong and it made the VHS version not make since in some parts. If anyone has the answer to this or would like 2 comment feel free.

This week's Halloween Trick-or-Treat Party SundaySupper theme created a quandary for me. While I was enthusiastically looking forward to seeing the undoubtedly fun, and creative treats my foodie friends would bring to the #SundaySupper table for the event, Halloween tends to be kid-centric, so I had second thoughts about offering up wine pairings (by the way, I'm referring to young kids – not the adult kids; you know who you are;-)
I settled on a compromise. I'll offer wine pairings for the Ghoulish Gruel and Haunted Snacks, and skip the Spooky Sweets this week.
If you do happen to have some leftover candy (and if you will..), consider sending it to troops overseas. Groups like Operation Shoebox, which supports our troops, will gladly take donations.
I continue to be amazed at the creativity and passion that manifests itself each week by the #SundaySupper family. And this week, add fun to the mix!
My recommended wines for this week's #SundaySupper Halloween Trick-or-Treat party are italicized below. To find the recommended wines, click on the name of the wine.

San Antonians ages 16 and up who are looking for a rewarding job with great pay need not look any further than the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department. The department is hosting several "Wanna be a Lifeguard? Parties" in hopes that local teens, college students, and adults 16 and over, will attend and apply. The parties will be held on the following Saturdays: Feb. 9 and 23, March 9 and 30 and April 13 and 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Natatorium, 1430 W. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. Refreshments will be served.

We really want to encourage individuals to apply as soon as possible so that we can get them trained and prepared to be a lifeguard at our pools."
At the event, individuals interested in becoming lifeguards will have access to a computer to complete the on-line application. As an added convenience, the prerequisite skills test will also be available during the parties and applicants are encouraged take the test during this time.

I'm looking real hard at the .45-70 barrel dimensions. Obviously, I'd like to reduce weight on the .45-70 as much as possible.
I'm concerned about the barrel thickness underneath an RPK gas block, which is going to be approximately .166" assuming a .458 barrel. Would that be thick enough for the mid-section of the barrel? Seems a bit thin to me. That would be OK for the muzzle, I would assume, but for that area, the gas pressure is probably still hot enough to make that small a section a problem.
Like VZ58, I'll probably make my own gas block that is thicker at the base. I have a spare gas block set aside for the build, which I plan to weld to a chunk of DOM tubing for the "base" that will go around the barrel.
I'm stumped about one thing. The article about the Dragunov (actually a PSL) in .50-110 caliber looks like it is using a Yugo gas block. If so, then that's an even thinner barrel at that part. Doesn't sound right to me.

My name is Mia and I have chronic well controlled hypertension. Back in 2003 I conceived thru IVF and was induced at 35 wks because my BP was getting difficult to control from 32 wks on and I had trace amounts of protein in my urine (+1). The end result was a healthy baby boy weighing in at 5lb 14oz thanks to a fabulous MFS who didn't miss a beat. Before and during that pregnancy I was on Lopressor, that seemed to work to a certain degree.
Two years later I conceived spontaneously and that pregnancy ended in IFD at 34 wks just 1 day after my son scored 8/8 in a BPP. I had a different MFS who seemed to take the seriousness of my condition lightly. During that pregnancy I was also on Lopressor and towards the end he tried adding Nephedipine which didn't work. Around 32 wks as well, my pressure became more difficult to control but he kept playing around with the meds instead of inducing labor. I opted not to have an autopsy done but placental pathology revealed that several large infarcts had developed in the placenta due to pre-eclampsia and that is what they deemed the cause of death. My son weighed 4lbs 6 oz which again puzzles me because it seems like he was growing at a normal rate.
Two years have past and I am now considering trying to conceive again but obviously I have concerns. My first question to you is do placental infarcts developed as a result of hypertension/pre-eclampsia or was there most likely another cause of the infarcts? I wonder if I should have testing done to see if I have a clotting disorder but it puzzles me that I had no complications from that with my first pregnancy. I was able to locate my original MFS and I have met with him for a preconception consult and he doesn't think that any further testing is warranted but I will always wonder what the underlying cause of the infarcts was.
I would also like your opinion on my current drug regimen and how safe it will be during a pregnancy. I have been on Lopressor and Hydrochlorothiazide for the past 18 mos and my pressure is controlled the best it ever has been. My MFS tried switching me to Labetalol but I suffered every side effect listed and it did not control my pressure very well. My MFS is a little hesitant in keeping me on Hydrochlorothiazide but it is quite clear that I need the combination of Beta blocker and diuretic. What is your opinion on that combination of drugs during pregnancy.
I appreciate you donating your time to read my story and respond.

ormer Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva said he would rather retire, than have to step into the Octagon against friend, team mate and former light heavyweight kingpin, Lyoto Machida (his words).The feeling may not be mutual.
Longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) trainer Rafael Cordeiro, who will corner "The Dragon" in his upcoming fight against Mark Munoz in the main event of UFC Fight Night 30 on Oct. 26, 2013 from Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, England (details), wants to see Machida take on the winner of Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva 2, who settle their score at UFC 168 in December.
Cordeiro elaborates to Fighters Only:
"I think if Lyoto wins he gets the title shot but also you have Jacare, he did a great job in his last fight. I think he deserves the opportunity to fight for the belt. It doesn't matter who is the champion. In my opinion everybody wants the belt, everybody fights for the belt. It's a dream for all fighters so all guys in the top five or top ten deserve the chance to fight for the belt. Jacare deserves it, Lyoto deserves it. Mark works so hard, he deserves all the best also. So if guys have to fight, let's fight."

Pascal and Véronique Béherec have always seen their ideas through to the end. The hoteliers fell in love with Marrakech and, over one weekend, bought what would become the Villa des Orangers. A weekend that changed their lives.
Our lives completely changed over one weekend in 1998. We had come to Marrakech to celebrate the acquisition of a hotel near Aix en Provence and discovered this riad in the heart of the city. My wife had spent some of her childhood in Northern Morocco, but I was just discovering Marrakech for the first time. Curiously and perhaps a little casually, we asked our guide to take us to a riad, and the rest is history: we sold both of the establishments we had in Paris and moved to Marrakech! Morocco is really so close to Europe, but a vacation of only a few days seems like a real voyage.

The first decision to make is Standard Def or High Def TV? With a Standard Def TV, it is pretty easy to hook up a VGA(HD-15 3 rows of 5 pins display connector) to a video converter that puts out NTSC(USA) or PAL(Europe) standards, Composite Video (yellow RCA connector) for your TV.
• Standard Def Looks Blurry? A Standard Def TV cannot display at the same resolution as your monitor. The monitor is usually 1280x1024 or higher, while the TV likes a 640x480 resolution. That's HALF the resolution! You are going to lose resolution and Text and graphics will be less clear than on the monitor. • An HDTV is NOT a Computer Monitor! With a HDTV you have to deal with Video format conversion as well as possible resolution conversion. Most HDTV's accept only a few possible resolutions and refresh rates, etc. The video formats are RGB/HV and Y-Pr-Pb (Component Video) which are entirely different encoded signals which must be converted ("transcoded") - since it is changing the encoded format). • A Computer is NOT a DVD Player! The resolution and refresh rates, etc, are just as much of a problem, since sending a typical Computer signal to an HDTV will not give you an output. You need to have a video card that can send out an appropriate signal or a program like "Powerstrip" to customize the output signal to give your TV what it requires, or a video converting scaler to change the signal. Vista and Windows 7 have improved video resolution adjustments and Power Strip is not needed. • SCALERS!Video converters with scalers are hardware solutions that can adjust the resolution from a computer to match the TV input requirement using an on screen menu. This is a better solution. • DIGITAL?!With digital video connections like DVI or HDMI, you also have the resolution problem to deal with, but depending on equipment and operation system, the transcoding may not be necessary.MORE!Video Transcoders have the same resolution signal in as they do out and only change the encodingVideo Converters can change resolutions, refresh rates, etc, but cost more than transcoders.TV/HDTV Tuners These connect your PC/Mac to an Antenna or Cable TV connection and act like a TV Tuner or Cable TV Set top box to give you channel selection and control, as well as recording/time shifting functions.Many cable providers are now sending digital encoded signals and most HDTV tuner cards do not work and are obsolete.USB tuners or HDTV tuner cards, still work for over the air digital signals and will depend on your "commitment" level to point and tune them properly.Video Capture takes video (usually Composite video or S-video plus audio) and records the audio and video in a computer file format that your computer can use to watch, edit and burn to DVD or Video CD.Please ask us for help if you need one!

Both Henderson and Belfort have been issued Testosterone Use Exemptions by the regulating body in Brazil, Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA). Belfort has been subject to pointed and protracted fan criticism for his use of TRT, while Henderson has received litle, something Helwani asked him address.
"I think it all has to do with him not getting an exemption to fight outside of Brazil," said Hendo. "Based on him testing positive before they won't give him an exemption in the States."
Henderson said he wasn't overly worried about what Belfort was up to in terms of TRT or otherwise. Heading into Saturday's bout, he says that he's been tested regularly about every two weeks to check his levels. In his last fight against Evans at UFC 161 in Winnipeg, the Manitoba commission didn't allow Henderson a therapeutic use exemption.
Though he lost the bout, "Hendo" said he didn't notice the difference. Therefore, when Belfort recently mentioned that he would go off of TRT if it meant a title shot, Henderson didn't see anything overly remarkable in the statement. Even with the claims that once you're on TRT that you'll need it for the rest of your life.
"I don't take that much, and I didn't take it for the Canada fight my last fight, and I really didn't notice a change," he said. "It wouldn't matter that much to me whether I was on it or not, especially just for one fight. It's a matter of being healthier, just as a lifestyle for me, and what the doctors prescribe to be healthier as a person. So it's not anything that a few months is going to matter."
Belfort bout last fight on Henderson's contract
Josh Gross @JoshGrossESPN
Hendo said this is the last fight on his UFC contract. UFC wants to wait to see how he fares before talking terms of a new deal. Big stakes.

Vast improvement on the version from years ago...
Anyone who's been using or following their products for years, this is a 100% improvement on the previous version. I actually find this a pleasurable product that does what it says... and I'm not much on styling products.
By Drea on September 18, 2013
really works!
I reviewed the full size and love it so much that i figured i'd help out and review the travel size since it's the same product. I've tried a few organic styling gels but most have not lived up to the hold and look of their non-organic counterparts. the intelligent nutrients organic styling gel is legit. I just started using the harmonic shampoo as well and loving it so far.

Science Matters
Questions and Answers with EPA Air Scientist Dan Costa, Sc.D., DABT
The National Program Director for EPA's Air, Climate, and Energy research program answers questions about air science.
The latest Science Matters podcast features Dr. Dan Costa, an EPA scientist and the National Program Director for the Agency's Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) research program.
Below are a few highlights of the conversation. Click here to listen to the entire conversation (podcast opens in a new window). (mp3, 13.3 MB, 14:31min)
Science Matters: Can you give us a quick overview of EPA's air, climate, and energy research? Why is EPA studying these issues together as a unified program?
Dr. Dan Costa: I think that's a great question.
Over time, it's become increasingly clear that these issues—air pollution, climate change, and energy production and use—are deeply intertwined.
Our choices in energy, whether it's fossil fuels, or wind or solar, have implications for air quality and climate change; and climate change impacts local air quality, as well as our energy infrastructure. So it's very logical, if we're ever going to really make headway, that we look at these issues in a comprehensive and interactive, systems-based manner.
Science Matters: Over 40 years of research, what kind of advances have we made with respect to air pollution, and what are the challenges we're still facing?
Dr. Dan Costa: There have been great strides since the passage of the Clean Air Act in the 70s, almost to the point now, when we look outside, the air is clear in most places—even in most urban environments—and we kind of forget the fact that there are things in the air that while we can't see them we can inhale them.
When the Clean Air Act was first passed, while we knew air pollution was a big mixture, we couldn't understand the multiple-pollutant environment. So, we looked at what were the most ubiquitous and important pollutants that would likely have a health impact—the so called 'criteria pollutants' (ozone, particulate matter, etc.), and we focused our studies on those. Since then, overall pollution levels have decreased some 85%. For example, the automobile produces just a few percentage points of the emissions that it did in 1970. Industry also figured out that by being more efficient and reducing pollution, they were in fact pushing their own positive economies.
And yet there are 120 million people in the U.S. living in areas that are still out-of-compliance with today's pollution standards.
We've been able—through sensitive testing procedures, evaluations, and risk assessment—to see that there are people who are affected by low levels of pollution, especially over long periods of time.
There are a number of issues that we still have to deal with in achieving the American ideal.
Science Matters: Much of your research has been focused on working toward a "one-atmosphere" model. Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?
Dr. Dan Costa: "One atmosphere" is part of our systems thinking. We know air pollution is a complex mix of pollutants. It's not just the six criteria pollutants. Air pollution varies by location, source, meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, and other factors.
We know that the world is 80% water; we know the land is a constant dynamic of vegetative changes; we know that certain pollutants that derive from nitrogen deposit on soil and water and have an impact on plants.
All of these systems are interlinked, and our visionary goal is to start to pull together these compartmentalized models and bridge them into a "one-environment model."
We've gone about as far as we can trying to do things on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis, so we need to look at the whole atmosphere in assessing risk. How does an individual pollutant behave in a complex mix? How does the mix change as we reduce that individual pollutant?
It's not going to be simple. And, for the sake of accessibility for our partners and local decision makers, we don't want a model that requires a supercomputer to run.
Science Matters: How does EPA modeling support the work of environmental decision-makers?
Dr. Dan Costa: Air pollution models, and many other kinds of models developed by EPA and its partners, are used daily by environmental managers, scientists, and government decision-makers at the state, local, and community levels.
The question is: How can we look at these air, climate, and energy issues in a dynamic and predictive way so that these leaders can make informed decisions?
What's the impact if we reduce this emission? Does it affect something else? Everything has alternative consequences. Some can be negative; some can be positive. We like the idea of co-benefits; for example, reducing black carbon from cookstoves has a public health benefit and a climate change co-benefit.
Models help us maximize these synergies and deliver the biggest environmental bang for the buck that we can. We know from our history that—if we're strategic and we think and apply ourselves appropriately with a cooperative effort—we can have both environmental protection and a robust economy.

Sometimes little things can make a difference. Gmail's updated loading screen makes Google's mail service look more like a native app and the transition to the actual interface is much smoother. The progress bar and the "loading" message are now centered and no longer look like an afterthought.
In the new Gmail interface you'll also see the loading page when you pick a different theme and that's annoying.

The scoring is a fucking joke. What about the tds machida reversed and landed on top? You don't see nobody talking about that. Davis did not do better than anybody in the striking, he may have cut angles a little better but only 3 power shots to the face ain't shit.
Who really cares who won? The fight was boring regardless.
Judges doing a horrible job?
How very surprising.

The world of karting continues to evolve, and in more ways than one.
An area that has seen dramatic growth over the last decade has been driver, team and business public relations. Many racers and teams are now distributing press releases to keep their fans, followers and competitors current on recent and upcoming events, as well as interacting in a host of other PR methods to promote their brand.
While creating the new WorldKarting.com, we realized the need for a Driver / Team News section. This section is devoted to the people who support WKA and will be updated on a daily basis with news releases provided to us.
Our only stipulation is the release must feature or be affiliated with a current WKA racer, team, sponsor, advertiser or supporter.
Note: Driver / Team news releases will not be included in WKA's Pit Board. WKA reserves the right to edit news releases and share releases on social networking platforms.
WKA RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup - A historic American sprint karting series
Class structure
The Gold Cup was a 4-cycle-only series for the better part of the 15 years. Three 2-cycle divisions – Komet Sportsman (age 7 to 12) and the TaG-powered X-30 Junior (age 12 to 15) and X-30 Senior (15 and up) – were added to the slate in 2012 with hopes of boosting entry counts and diversity in the series.
4-cycle racing is the heart of the Gold Cup. A full slate of Briggs & Stratton Animal and Clone Box Stock-powered divisions is offered for racers age 7 and up. A new division in 2012 is the Briggs LO206 Kid Kart, which runs as a national points class for youngsters age 5 to 7.
Click here to learn more about the Gold Cup class structure.
Weekend schedule
A Gold Cup weekend consists of four days. Thursday is parking and registration; Friday is practice; and Saturday and Sunday are devoted to one round of morning practice, qualifying, heats and features for each class.
The past several seasons have seen Gold Cup entry counts around 250 per event. WKA has worked to increase that number with the addition of the Box Stock Clone divisions as national classes in 2011 and, most recently, the insertion of the aforementioned 2-cycle and LO206 Kid Kart national classes.
Popular team locales
Gold Cup teams are located throughout the eastern half of the country. Hot spots for team bases include Maryland, western New York, Georgia and Jacksonville, Fla., mainly on account of series-following kart shops, chassis builders and popular sprint tracks located in these areas. Teams also are located throughout the Midwest and numerous different areas up and down the East Coast.
The Gold Cup Series has long allowed full plastic bodywork packages, including a taller nosecone and full sidepanels, whereas karts in WKA's Manufacturers Cup Series and other 2-cycle sprint series are required to run the smaller, CIK-style plastic bodywork. The Gold Cup-style bodywork, as it's commonly referred, make the karts appear similar to an oval-track or sprint-road-race chassis.
Another noticeable difference between Gold Cup and Manufacturers Cup is that Gold Cup rules permit the kart's seat to be mounted in a lower position, allowing the driver to lean back in the go-kart with lower center of gravity. Manufacturers Cup and most all 2-cycle sprint series follow strict seat mounting rules that mandate the driver sits at an upright position.
Past Gold Cuppers
A host of ultra-successful racecar drivers spent time competing and winning championships in the Gold Cup, including NASCAR stars Danica Patrick and Regan Smith, Indianapolis 500 champion Sam Hornish Jr., IndyCar racer Ryan Hunter-Reay and the 2011 NASCAR Whelen Modified champion Ronnie Silk.
For more information...
To speak with kart shops, engine builders and/or team members directly involved in WKA Gold Cup Series, start with the following companies - Coyote Motorsports (Rochester, N.Y.); Baker Racing Engines (Bellevue, Ohio); Roberts Kart Shop (Atlanta, Ga.); GT Machine (Longs, S.C.); Mind Game Motorsports (Concord, N.C.); Michigan Kart Supply (Eaton Rapids, Mich.); or Margay Racing Products (St. Louis, Mo.).

Go ahead, just try and convince me. I surrender to your words. Wrap me in your arms and tell me that the day means nothing to you at all, that no one can put limits or restrictions, obligations or rules on the expression of your feelings. Tell me that you desire me every day and you need no one at all to hand you an opportunity to show me just how much. But (just this once) recognize this day with a gift or a sign, no matter how small, just because you know what it means to me, a single sentimental gesture to acknowledge the expectation that flutters in my heart, and I promise you that in return I will agree with you about the nothingness of Valentine's Day every single day for the rest of the year.
Ah, Valentine's Day. Who knows just precisely how or when or where you began, who proclaimed this as the day of love, billets doux, sweet nothings, gentle whispers and fervent glances. And to what import? Did Mark Antony need Valentine's Day to pull Cleopatra into his lustful embrace? Did Romeo need Valentine's Day to inspire him to declare his passion for the young Juliet hovering breathlessly above in the moonlight? Did Valentine's Day stir Napoleon's amour for Josephine or elicit Darcy's throwing himself at Elizabeth's feet? No, I dare say not. It is true that one does not need this day to be a lover, to express desire, to recount unhesitatingly, ardently, passionately one's undying love. No, not at all.
And as far as famous lovers go, we may be more Lucy and Ricky, our couple that quirky balance of fiery and comical, or George Burns and Gracie Allen, a little bit like some zany old-fashioned sitcom. Or even Julia and Paul Child, playful and creative and standing out from the crowd like two rare and exotic creatures, more intellectual than glamorous, more ordinary than star crossed, more frivolity and heartfelt emotion than dark, brooding vamp and suave Casanova. But whoever or whatever the influence, we have never needed Valentine's Day as a pretense to offer each other gifts, pop open the Champagne or snuggle up together. Yet…. yet… there is still something about Valentine's Day that stirs up my womanly desires, lights the fire within, brings out the fluttering young girl in me again.
Like a faded romance novel or timeworn love story, I want him to smother me with kisses, shower me with baubles and sentimental gewgaws; I want to feel his soothing caress and his warm breath on my cheek as his love washes over me. But he is right. No exuberant display of emotion is necessary, not even diamonds and rubies are required, just his loving glance, my hand in his, a gentle squeeze, a careful, graceful acknowledgement of my frivolous desire to be pampered on this of all days and then we can move on to all the rest of the days of the year.
* It's the same story every year, and this Valentine's Day is no different. Although he offers to take me out and bring me a voluptuous bouquet simply to make me happy, he believes none of it. Yes, it is the same story every year so I decided to republish an old Valentine's Day post from 2011, only slightly altered, a bit like us.
Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta & Amaretti Brownies
Recipe Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta can be found here:
Changes: the seeds scraped out of one vanilla bean/pod replaced the liquid vanilla extract. Add the seeds with the 2 cups cream and the sugar to the warm cream/gelatin mixture in the pot and finish the recipe as indicated.
Make the Panna Cotta the day before making the dessert. Either divide the panna cotta evenly among 6 or 8 dessert glasses or ramekins or pour into a large, shallow baking dish if you want to add a layer of the panna cotta to a layer of brownie. Chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Recipe Amaretti Brownies can be found here:
Changes: The Amaretto can be replaced with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract + ¼ teaspoon almond extract.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
For the Valentine's Day dessert, serve the glass of Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with a dollop of very lightly sweetened or unsweetened whipped heavy cream and raspberries with a small round of Amaretti Brownie.
To create the layered dessert, using a round ring mold or cookie/biscuit cutter, cut out a round from the Amaretti Brownies per serving; carefully twist the mold and lift out brownie round and place on a dessert plate. Very carefully, using the same ring mold, cut out a round from the Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta and lift up using a spatula pushed underneath to lift it up and onto the brownie. Carefully but quickly slide the spatula out from under the panna cotta, aligning the ring mold over the brownie and lift. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream and raspberries. If desired, place the ring mold with the slice of panna cotta over the brownie round and slide the ring down onto the brownie and reserve in the refrigerator in the ring mold to chill until ready to serve.
