Fifteen University of Vermont students presented the findings of their semester-long focus on the Mad River Valley last Wednesday, December 8. For the second consecutive year, UVM has used The Valley as a focus in their community development and applied economics department.
Groups of students from the service learning course, entitled Local
Community Initiatives, worked with representatives from the Mad River
Path Association, Mad Bikes of Waitsfield as well as local food
producers and the localvores to determine "different ways that community
members work together to identify challenges, resources and solutions
and how they envision their future," according to Mad River Valley
Planning District director Joshua Schwartz.
Schwartz worked closely with course lecturer Will "Chip" Sawyer and other members of the Valley Futures Network to coordinate the class projects. Another round of planning is already underway for the 2011 school year.
The first group of UVM students worked with the Mad River Path Association to develop recommendations for interpretive installations along the Mad River Path; the second group worked with Mad Bikes of Waitsfield to provide feedback and recommendations for the mission and organization of the green bike program.
The MRPA group recommended integrating historical materials into interpretative signage and kiosks along the Mad River Path.
Students Nicole Fenton, David Link, David Loehr, Jacob Scudder and Michael Verla included information about the flood of 1927 and the history of the Mad River Dam in their recommendations. The MRPA group also suggested including art installations to be commissioned by local artists along the Mad River Path.
The second group focused on the organization and mission of Mad Bikes of Waitsfield; students Richard Nam, Ky Brown, Evan Loschiavo, Becky Roche and Kyle O'Neill researched community bike share programs to come up with recommendations for an effective organizational model and mission statement.
The group presented their final mission statement last week: "Mad River Bikes aims to provide a fun alternative source of transportation through a free bike-sharing program. This program provides bike education, along with promoting the health of individuals, the community and the environment."
The goal of the Mad River Valley local food market study was "to gather information that would enhance the Mad River Valley Agricultural economy" according to the presentation made by students Jimmy Debiasi, Sara Geoghegan, Emily Demikat, Aaron Brown and Margaret Stone who interviewed producers from six different Valley farms.
Their study addressed product distribution, expansion, the market, demand, and infrastructure. Group members recommended implementing advertising strategies, cooperating with other farmers and producers as well as utilizing unfilled niches.
Schwartz and class instructor Sawyer are planning a third installment of the course to take place in fall 2011. Solicitation of projects will take place in the spring.

PBA Summer Swing Memories, The Petersen Classic, The Bowling News and more!
by Van McNeil
posted Jul 25 2013 3:34PM
Hello Spare/Time Bowling Show fans! Hope y'all are having a great summer! Have you been working on your game at all? Because Fall Leagues are now forming! Check your local bowling center for more information. :)
Well, two months after competing in the
PBA Summer Swing
, I still continue to work on my game! Tuesday nights, New Berlin Bowl, Team USA Sport Shot League, where a good sized group of men, a few women and youth too, challenge ourselves on World Tenpin Bowling Association Oil Patterns. These oil patterns are more of a challenge vs. your typical house shot and forces you to be more accurate! Frustrating? YES at times, but once you scale it back, do a little studying and find your groove, the payoff is excellent!
The Petersen Classic in Hoffman Estates, Illinois
which was NOT so excellent for me in my first time out! But I still had a great time nonetheless. My father always talked about The Petersen Classic, even competed a few times
at the old location
and won some $$$! If you've never heard of The Petersen Classic it's a tournament like no other. 8 games across 16 lanes of HELL! You can only use two bowling balls, no practice beforehand, no arrows or dots on the lane for aiming and the oil, or lack there of... it really depended on which pair you were on. It really beats you up mentally unless you have the right equipment! 1100 after 8 games which I guess is ok for my first time. Can't wait for next year!
Another way I challenge myself is Friday Nights in Dyer, Indiana, just over the Illinois /Indiana border, at a house called
Stardust Bowl III.
There, Sean Ciesielski and their fine staff run a boatload of tournaments including a
weekly King of the Hill
, where the BIG names and little names, like myself come to play on challenging oil patterns for $$$. Just a few of the BIG names I've run into while down there...
Eugene McCune
E.J. Tackett
Brian Velenta
Jerry Mars, Kevin Kullman
and many other PBA Regional and Tour Pros who will help you out if they find you struggling! Nice to see and have a passionate group of bowlers that love the game and help each other out! I'm not saying it doesn't happen here BUT I wish we had a tournament like this in OUR area. If you'd ever like to join me and the carpool and challenge yourself,
just let me know!
Before I go, I always get asked about my GEICO / PBA Summer Swing experience and how it was bowling against the BEST bowlers in the world, I'm always willing to share stories so don't be afraid to ask. I just wanted to share a couple of memories and remind you that you can re-live my time on
PBA Xtra Frame
for a small subscription price OR watch my training and listen to stories about the experience on the show (for free),
click here.
Just a couple of
PBA Summer Swing
Getting yelled at by the great
Walter Ray Williams Jr.
, "JUST BOWL!" I guess I was giving to much lane courtesy. I know better now! :)
Beating one of the greatest bowlers of our time in
Norm Duke
not once, but TWICE! It was all about the small victories for me as I was shaking in my boots at the competition during that two weeks they were in town.
Remember to ALWAYS fill out your PBA score sheet completely, no matter how well you bowl, otherwise it'll cost you and the person you verify for some $$$! In this case it was
Anthony LaCaze
and he playfully, "let me have it" if you will! Whoops!
Being on the call alongside former
PBA Champion Johnny DiSantis
and my
coach Dwight Albrecht
for the Brunswick Youth Super Classic where PBA Tour Pros Sean Rash, Walter Ray Williams Jr., Tom Hess and Tom Smallwood were paired with some pretty talented youth.
You can watch that telecast here.
Lastly, getting interview by
Mr. Mark London at The Bowling News
about my experience. The Bowling News is a weekly publication that is read around the world! You can read the article, that will give you
EVEN MORE insight of my PBA experience, here.
Thank you to Mark and the crew at The Bowling News for taking an interest and to all the fans too!
For now, the grind continues! This
thing is far from over! I still have more work to do on my game before I even think about doing something like that again!

Maureen Charron-Shea, 7th- through 12th-grade special education teacher at Harwood Union High School was named one of the top three award recipients for National Life Group's LifeChanger of the Year program for the 2012-13 school year.
Charron-Shea was nominated as a LifeChanger of the Year by colleagues and students at Harwood Union High School, where she serves as a special education teacher for 7th- through 12th-graders. Six years ago, Charron-Shea began a nationally awarded service learning project – Speak Out For Understanding – in which students, educators, parents and community members speak out for social justice, sharing personal stories to promote understanding and tolerance.
She believes public education is becoming the best tool to empower students with disabilities; it is where everyone is valued, both as an individual and a learner. Charron-Shea's dedication to her students and colleagues and her steadfast determination to advance the fight against discrimination and other social injustices set her apart as a leader who inspires others to follow in her footsteps.
LifeChanger of the Year is a national program sponsored by National Life Group that annually recognizes and rewards K-12 school district educators and employees who make a difference in the lives of students by exemplifying excellence, positive influence and leadership.
LifeChanger of the Year nominees must be full-time educators, teachers, principals, or any member of the school's staff who makes a positive difference in the lives of students. Award winners are selected based on the following criteria:
A proven ability to make a beneficial difference in the lives of students.
An ability to positively add to the development of the school's atmosphere.
A leader in his or her activities at the school and/or district level.
A proven record of excellent performance at the professional level.
A commitment to producing a nurturing atmosphere.
Charron-Shea was chosen by the selection committee out of hundreds of nominees from school districts around the country. As one of this year's top three winners, she is guaranteed to receive a personal cash award along with a matching donation to her school totaling either $5,000, $7,000 or $10,000. In addition, she will be invited to attend an awards ceremony in Florida on March 8 where the grand prize winner, first runner up and second runner up will be announced.
A surprise announcement at Harwood took place on Monday, February 4, at 12:30 at an all-school assembly.

Hector Lombard, Patrick Cote pegged as coaches for TUF: Australia vs. Canada - Five Ounces of Pain | RM Sports
The UFC is poised to produce another international season of the Ultimate Fighter after successful past versions focused on fighters from Brazil, Australia, and the United Kingdom. This time around, Australia is back in the fold with Canada providing the opposing squad of scrappers. Though the weight-classes involved remain a mystery, the fighters leading each team have been leaked and should result in an intriguing affair assuming things play out as planned.
According to the MMA Sun, Patrick Cote and Hector Lombard have been targeted as head coaches. An official announcement is expected by weeks end. It also appears the UFC has Kyle Noke lined up just in case Lombard ultimately decides he cannot accept the role based on the expectation of moving down from 185 pounds to compete against Cote as a welterweight.

|I am interested in the formation and evolution of the continents. How did the continents originally form? Why are some continental regions stable for billions of years while others are repeatedly deformed? How does the composition of the deep lithospheric mantle relate to processes occurring at the surface? The main tool I use to investigate these questions is magnetotellurics (MT), which is a deeply-penetrating electromagnetic method that images the electrical conductivity of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. I seek to combine MT observations with constraints from mantle geochemistry, seismics and mineral physics to develop new insights into lithosphere composition and improve our understanding of continental evolution.

|My research interests are mostly focused on oceanic hotspot dynamics and the origins and evolution of ocean island volcanoes. I am particularly interested on long-term ocean island uplift reconstructions using relative sea-level tracers, in order to gain insight on uplift mechanisms such as dynamic topography, intrusive processes and tectonics of oceanic plates. I am also equally interested on ocean island landscape evolution and the competition between volcanic constructional processes and erosional destructive processes, particularly (but not only) along coastlines. I am also interested in the application of surface exposure dating to study uplift, flank collapses and mega-tsunamis, recent volcanism, and erosion.

I'm sure after the London Olympic people found out that Moon was dead, they won't get fooled again.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
If he can't make it, I'm sure John Bonham's available.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
What will they do when he trashes his room and has fifteen cases of Capt. Morgan delivered to the Australian women's swim team?
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
I would be willing to help subsidize his resurrection if he would agree to play the songs from Quadrophenia.
"Booing on opening day is like telling grandma her house smells like old lady."--WOY
What a combination that would have been. I love Bonham's drumming- he had this curious way of sounding like he wasn't really playing the same song, yet the beat always seemed to be on.

Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
Everquest II is going F2P with several "levels"...details below, but note that the bottom one is a full YEAR and equals $16.66/month. Would this work for SWG?
18. What is included with the Free membership?
When you begin playing Extended, you default to the Free level of membership. That means you have access to a lot of content in the world of Norrath, you can create characters in any of eight classes, from four different races, and you have many, many months of gameplay at your fingertips. However, there are certain content, feature and service limitations that are only unlocked through a la carte item sales or by upgrading your membership to another tier (view matrix).
19. What is included with the Silver membership?
To become a Silver member there is a one-time item purchase called the "Silver Membership Pack." That pack grants you an additional character slot, better chat options, extra inventory capacity, raises your quest journal limit, gives you the ability to create guilds, and more.
It also grants you two very cool Advancement potions so you can level more quickly. Once you purchase a Silver Membership Pack, you are permanently raised to that membership level. There is no recurring fee for this pack or membership (view matrix).
20. What is included with the Gold membership?
A Gold membership is a $15 per month recurring membership. This is very similar to that of the traditional subscription-based game, but specifically built for the Extended service (view matrix).
21. What is included with the Platinum membership?
This plan is available for $200 per year (view matrix).

There is a massive difference in quality between SWG and EQ2. There is a much bigger chance of EQ2's gameplay inticing people to pay for more access/items than SWG's horrible unfun and broken core game to do so. A F2P version of SWG would likely increase the playerbase, but I doubt it would do much to increase revenue.
Didn't someone from SOE say that EQ2 was not going to go F2P just a month or so ago?

There is no Try... Just Fail
Thing I see is that whats the point of making 2 different games when you convert it to F2P? It wont increase the player base for the non F2P bases.... I personally hate F2P games or games with a CS implemented... if SW:TOR does this im not going to play no matter how good it is.... because things like that make the games broken far beyond just messed up game mechanics.
SWG was a great game in its prime but once SW:TOR comes out it will probably fall off its last bionic leg and be retired. I like the gameplay more in SWG than any other MMO I have played, but the lack of "End Game" Dungeons they had for the longest time it really helped kill it once WoW came about.
Yeah im thinking about re-subbing back into SWG to pass time until TOR but thats only because I have played since they changed a lot of things from the last time and already have things I need. Starting fresh in SWG is a major pain now because of the system and the inflated prices because of how many credits are in the game from Vet players.
Truthfully tho I rather see SWG retired than become a lousy F2P game full of retards.

That's $5 SoE wasn't going to get any other way.
But...what they're planning with EQ2 is simply foolish IMO, as a new server will KILL the old game - no Vets will return to "check it out", no buddies will log in to "chat", the "illusion" of a lotta players doesn't work/exist, no new characters will be created on the old server...meaning it's only a matter of time before it fails.
F2P needs to be focused on the existing game...not some new "model". The purpose behind F2P should be to attract new players to existing development. F2P should show players what they're missing out on by not being a full $15/mo sub. F2P should make the existing game seem fuller than it truly is.

Heroes are about character - not gear.
I quit SWG before NGE, because I realized that it was a job - shop, vendors, crafting, harvesting. No, I left SWG because it needed a Pay Me To Play Model...
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

EQ2 is a snorefest. The $15 a month is not why I chose not to play. It's that it is so boring and the humans are butt ugly. Also some of the game design choices are cumbersome. For instance, getting new abilities through books. I would rather just get new abilities from a trainer, just my preference. And the auction system is crappy. Did it ever change from where you had to stay in your house to sell crap? Crafting was too involved. I like depth but not eq2 crafting. SWG crafting was far superior in my opinion (best crafting of any mmo I ever played).
SWG should go f2p in my opinion. If they open a normal cash shop instead of that crapfest of a card game they might make some money off of people they otherwise wouldn't.
But what gets me is they can run two version of a game. I thought before it was said they would not run two versions of a game simultaneously.

Differnt servers, not diff game, their going to keep the free to play people on new servers. They are drooling over Zyngas game model, Ive never payed for Facebook game items, but thiers alot of people that like to get high level fast. Or dont want to raid for special and rare gear.

You can probably bet that if SWG (along with Vanguard and Planetside) DONT go to the EQ2 "pay (lots more) to play" model soon they aren't going to be around much longer. I think SWG got it's answer when they ceased TCG development.
Smed has decided that the tollway is the only way and I dont' see them keeping anything around that doesn't work on this new scheme.
Also, how could the two Devs they have left possibly hack together the additions necessary to add RMT to the game and have it actually function? They'd have to spend more money to get this done and I simply do not see them doing any more than they are now at best until they shut it down.

My friend tried the game and his only MMO experience was WoW cause he loves Blizzard and then he moved onto EVE which he played for the past 2 years and just quit. So he got the SWG trial and played it for 5 mins before quitting.
He said...
- Can't jump
- Horrible graphics
- Dated ugly UI
- combat looked so bad like it was on fast forward
- The cinematics were poor and the falcon bit when you're shooting the fighters was laughable at how lame it looked.
Said the game sucked and uninstalled.
Problem with SWG is the quality of everything is just so poor since after the CU. All the new content is rushed and so is everything else. In fact the only things that look any good are TCG loot card items.

Going F2P was what The Smed wanted all along. I'm surprised SOE hasn't completely gone F2P yet to milk customers even more.

what concerns me about this model is this.
Core gamers play not becuase they get dohicky x but becuase they feel like they did all the things that deserve a 'ding'.
For a F2P to work they will have to focus on non-core gamers becuase core gamers will likely not even buy that much stuff...maybe..
this is my general sense and I could be completely off.

SWG will never reach the level of popularity it held Pre-CU.
However, I do believe that going F2P (and I am shocked they haven't already taken that route) will bring more players into the game, which is exactly what the game needs if they want to breathe some much needed life into it.
Atm endgame consists of hanging around Restuss or running heroics. Restuss is no fun to begin with, but it would be a whole lot more entertaining if there were ever more than 20 people in the zone.

I'm guessing that quite a bit of the playerbase on SWG is there simply "because it's Star Wars." When SWTOR hits, the last shaky foundation for them staying there will be in jeopardy.

It's not just SWG...If you're expecting PvP to be your main endgame content you're in big, big trouble...

Sure making it F2P would bring in more people...but those people will just see how lame the game is and leave...
1. Release fail game.
2. Revamp fail game to create slightly less fail game.
3. Watch people leave in droves.
4. See game is still fail, yet continue to charge for it.
5. Realize fail game is not getting anywhere, make F2P.
6. ???
7. No profit.
8. Shut down fail game and save alot of people some time.

SWG was a GREAT "social" game. The "social" aspect they did quite well in...so let me toss in a few things I think you may be overlooking:
5a) F2P brings back players out of sheer curiosity or just to "chat"
5b) F2P players see some of the "stuff" they can buy in the TCG
5c) F2P players buy some TCG packs because it's easy to justify $15 on the TCG when you're not paying a subscription
5d) F2P players make the game "feel" more alive, even on "dead" servers (social)
5e) P2P players (paying for full access to the game via whatever "cash shop" option there is) continue to play SWG and will be less likely to cancel their subs with the "renewed" life the game seems to have from the F2P players
5f) F2P players enjoying the social aspect, may fork out the cash to enter the instances they're currently gated from because of them playing the F2P version
My point is...between the TCG, a Cash Shop that sells housing, lots, character slots, and a current full access sub, there is some potential for SWG to make money above what they currently do. They wouldn't make the money through what they've added or are adding to the game - they'd make it off of players/customers they currently don't have who are there just to socialize or "check in".
Once an MMO is cancelled and unsubbed, there's little reason to go back - IMO, keeping SWG on a players drive should be the number 1 goal of the current Devs. I don't have access to the correct numbers of returning players they have during "free trials", but I bet they have a fairly high return of "vets". Getting a few more bucks out of all those "free time" players would be HUGE! Going F2P (with P2P options of course) may just work well for SWG.
F2P = 1-2 toons, 1 server, no housing, just bank space, can't trade items, no Heroics
Cash shop = Extra character slots, Limited Access ($7.99/mo), Full access ($15/mo), extra lots, vendors, storage, "stuff"
TCG = fluff and "fun" items (mini games, kewl vehicles, kewl housing)
I'll admit, I may be totally incorrect on the impact of going F2P with the current subs (the few there are), but I think a F2P option for SWG could be a much bigger revenue stream than some give it credit for...assuming they (SoE) don't botch it like they did with EQ2.

You guys know that EQ2 is really not F2P? and as far as SWG is concerned if it adopts the same model like EQ2 people will have option to pay a monthly sub or play on F2P server. And i am quite sure people will just end up paying for SWG like they do now. There is hardly any content for F2P players.

EDUCATION: Science bus gives students glimpse of biotechnology
Lee County High School students got a quick education in using advanced scientific tools Tuesday when the DESTINY Science Bus came to campus and offered three classes a close-up look at biotechnology.
The bus, which travels around the state to rural counties that don't have the funds or student access to hi-tech equipment that more metropolitan counties do, has been stopping in Lee County off and on since 2000.
Jalynn McDonald, the Lee County High School biology teacher who has spearheaded the local end of the program since the beginning, said that it costs $250, so the school can't afford to bring the bus every year. But this year, she said, there was a grant that brought it here for free. And she was overjoyed to be able to bring her three college prep biology classes, which are filled with at-risk students from ninth to 12th grades, to the demonstration.
"This is really cool," she said. "I love it."
That sentiment was shared by her students, as well — whether they liked science or not.
Sophomore Brandon Sherman said he wants to go into crime scene investigation when he gets out of school, so this demonstration — in which students experimented with various samples to find out which one contained the DNA strain that causes Sickle Cell Anemia — was right up his alley.
"It's pretty cool," he said. "I've never done anything like this before."
Sherman, who said science is one of his favorite subjects, also said that he liked using the pipettes, petri dishes and electrical equipment on the bus and now has more knowledge about the career than just what he sees on television shows like NCIS or CSI.
Senior Ricky Jaimes, on the other hand, said science isn't exactly his favorite subject, but that he likes using the equipment as well as the challenge of keeping up with the various steps and instructions.
"It's interesting — not so much what's going on, but all the things you've got to pay attention to ... ," he said, watching a fog settle over his samples as an electrical current passed through them. "This class is kind of required for me, but stuff like this is keeping it interesting."
McDonald had said earlier in the day that such reactions were exactly why she goes through the effort of taking a special class each summer to bring the bus, which is sponsored by the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at UNC-Chapel Hill, as well as pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. And, she said, she appreciates that, if nothing else, the bus will introduce students to careers they might not thought of before, from work in law enforcement to disease research labs and more.
The law enforcement opportunities are the most likely ones for local students to look into, she said, because Central Carolina Community College offers a two-year program to let students become crime scene investigators, which she said pays an average starting salary of nearly $40,000 — and more if the student goes on to earn a four-year degree or even a master's.
"There's no telling how much money or potential there is," she said.

I hope this is ok to post here. I'm not in anyway promoting, just thought it might be fun for some of us to see. The New hospital that they are building in Murray will be having an open house on Sept 28-29. They'll have valet parking and shuttles. The directions I have say it is accessible from I-15 at the 5300 South exit. The map I have looks like it is up near State street and 5300 S in back of Costco. Woodrow St and Intermountain Dr, both off of 5300 S go over to it.
I'm going to try and go to the open house. It'll give me something to do while I wait for this baby to grow.

Carroll County has approved a water agreement with Mount Airy (N.C.) on multiple occasions in the past year, but local officials believe Thursday's agreement will finally come to fruition.
Gary Larrowe, Executive Director of the Carroll County Public Service Authority (PSA), even joked about the problems the Authority has had trying to get the agreement finalized.
"We've approved a version of this at just about every meeting for the past year," Larrowe said tongue in cheek. "It's been a lengthy process. We do have one more agreement that will hopefully be agreed upon. Mount Airy hasn't approved it yet, but (federal funding agency) Rural Development has and we have, so two of the three parties have agreed to it and hopefully we will get Mount Airy's approval shortly."
The agreement would help Carroll County serve approximately 40 new residential customers with water, as well as the businesses along Exit 1 near Lambsburg if Mount Airy signs off on the agreement.
Larrowe said the agreement would allow Carroll County to connect to a Mount Airy City-owned water tank in the Lambsburg area. Carroll would be able to use up to 9,999 gallons per day from the tank, which the PSA would augment with two wells it has in the area. It may need to punch another well to satisfy demand, he added.
As part of an agreement between the City of Mount Airy, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Mount Airy would sell the PSA potable drinking water up to a maximum of 9,999 gallons per day until Nov. 10, 2018. Once that agreement expires, the PSA could purchase up to 99,999 gallons per day provided that Mount Airy shall not be required to furnish the PSA any amount in excess of 3 million gallons per month.
According to the agreement, amounts would be measured through a master meter at Surratt Drive and Imogene Road. Included water rates indicate a monthly charge of $3.08 per account, with monthly minimum charges based on meter sizes. Ranges begin at $20.30 for three-fourths of an inch up to $1,624 for eight inches.
Monthly rates per thousand gallons are listed as $4.46 for zero to 2,000 gallons, $6.28 for 2,001 to 1 million gallons, and $5.38 for more than 1 million gallons. Rural Development requires at least a 40-year loan for the agreement, Larrowe added.
"We are just waiting on Mount Airy to nod their heads in agreement," Larrowe said.
PSA Chairman Tom Littrell asked if he expected that to take place in December.
"That is the intention although there is no guarantee," Larrowe said.
PSA member William Payne made a motion to approve the agreement with Mount Airy. Jeanette Dalton seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

According to those numbers, even if only half of dans landed strikes were significant, and every single one of machida's were... He only had 1 more significant strike, where as Dan then had 20some odd insignificant strikes left over... Shouldn't those count for something? Assuming those numbers were the totals of course.
Either way the fight sucked. I had it as a draw. I actually like both fighters, it was a huge disappointment.

Marcia Helman runs for Collins' vacant council seatWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
If Marcia Helman were to have a new campaign slogan it would be "Marcia Helman gets things done!"
The effusive 63-year-old owns and operates the Lickity Split ice cream parlor on Glendale Avenue, sits on the Walbridge Park Board and works for the Art Commission.
When she worked at the Ed Schmidt Pontiac dealership in Perrysburg as a bookkeeper several years ago, she was known as the go-to person who got things accomplished.
"Let's just say there isn't anything I haven't done myself," she said recently during an interview at the ice cream shop in South Toledo, Helman's home district.
Helman wants to take her energy, drive and enthusiasm into the City Council District 2 seat at the May 6 primary.
This will be her second try against Democratic incumbent Mike Cherry, a business agent for a Sheet Metals Worker local, whom Council voted in 8-3 in January. The position had been vacated by Council member D. Michael Collins when he was elected mayor. The primary will decide who serves in Council for the remainder of the four-year term.
Helmen said going up against Cherry for another run does not throw her into a competitive dive. She said they are on friendly terms and can laugh and joke about who is going to beat who in the primary.
"Matt and I are friends and we talk and we talk about the campaign to each other and I look at Matt as a friend and I hope he would give me advice on Council," she said.
"I told him he could (still) come to the ice cream store. I don't want to lose any customers," she joked.
She said she has introduced herself to her other competitors, businessman Joe Celusta and Toledo School Board member Bob Vasquez.
Once in office, Helman said she would want to help with redeveloping the vacant lot created when Southwyck mall was demolished.
"I definitely would be focused on [Southwyck]," Helman said. "I have truly already contacted the major on this and would be happy to be in on any talks. As vibrant as it used to be, it can be that way again. The Ragan Woods neighborhood became blighted when everything moved out."
Helman is running as an Independent in the May 6 primary, but has been registered as a Democrat and a Republican in the past.
"I vote for who I think is the best person for the job," Helman said.
Councilman Rob Ludeman is Helman's campaign chairman.
"He was one of the people for years (who) said I should get involved; I should run for City Council," she said. "I decided on my own I was going to run and I called Rob up and he said, 'Good, I'll be your chairman.' He's a good Councilmen and well-respected. And I'm glad he is working for me."
Helman said Toledo is important to her.
"My roots are here and they're going to be here," she siad.
One of her roots is the Walbridge Park, where she's vice president on the park's advisory board. The park is in her district on Broadway Street across from the Toledo Zoo in the historic Harvard Terrance neighborhood. Billed on its website as a "gem" of Toledo and one of "the most used parks in the city," it has scenic views of the Maumee River.
Helman is invested in the park because it brings stability to the district.
"It keeps home prices at a constant and attracts people to the neighborhood," she said.
Part of the park's mission is to bring diversity into its activities and trails, Helman said. The board sponsors a fall pumpkin fest, hayrides and summer concerts.
"If you put good energy out, people will come," she said.
The park board is also considered to be the highest example of how a park board should function, Helman said. Their level of commitment gives them a great relationship to the city, she said.
Helman's strongest relationship to District 2 is her business, the Lickity Split ice cream shop she's owned for the past 32 years.
"I didn't know a thing about this (business)," she said. "I was just walking by for exercise."
Helman lived nearby and was walking by the building that at the time was a closed Mexican restaurant. She and a friend went into business together and bought the place. Thirty-two years later it's a Toledo landmark that serves families and residents from across the city.
She said she is all for making Toledo a more friendlier place for small businesses like the mom and pop stores around Lickity Split.
Helman has a way of opening doors and airing concerns. She gets her voice heard, whether it's talking to customers, to her employees or to what may be her future constituents.
"I'm energized by things," Helman said. "I live in a good place."
"I'm not ready to give up what I'm doing here," she said, looking around the parlor. "I just really enjoy it. It's not really like work."

This cut of beef truly has something delicious for every meat lover! That trademark bone in the middle helps the meat to cook evenly while keeping the meat so tender and juicy...cooking meat on the bone imparts a sweeter flavor to the beef.

Johny Hendricks to Georges St-Pierre "If you can't handle being champion, give it up"
Hendricks appeared on AXS Television's Inside MMA on Friday night (Nov. 22, 2013) and spoke with host Kenny Rice about St-Pierre's supposed hiatus from the sport.
"Dude I've got three kids. You know what I'm saying? Talk about sleep? Are you kidding me? Everybody's got problems in life. That's the way it is. If you can't handle being champion, give it up. We chose to get into that octagon, we chose not to sleep. I don't know how many times I've went to bed at five, six o'clock in the morning and woke up at 10, running four miles because I wanted to beat GSP that bad. Dude, who cares. I chose this life. Tell yourself whatever you need to. Just get back in that octagon with me. I can't wait for the rematch."
Seriously, he's going to question GSP's ability of handling being a champion? GSP was the UFC WW champion even before Johny even stepped into the octagon for the first time. He has won 11 title fights in a row since 2007, which is now tied with Anderson Silva for the record.
I don't think Johny could be half the champion nor an ambassador for the sport like GSP was.
I hope Johny can get back to how he was before the title fight soon. It seems like this loss has poisoned him in a way and could negatively affect him in his training if he dwells on it for too long. It's one thing to use it as more motivation (and I believe he deserves the rematch) but it's good to know where the line between beneficial and detrimental is. I get that it's hard as fuck not to though.
Johny will be back and will beat whoever they put in front of him.
I hope Georges makes his decision within the month. It would be extremely disappointing if he leaves the division in limbo when he is not injured.
Morning Report: Johny Hendricks says hand wraps affected striking strategy against Georges St-Pierre at UFC 167
After being chided by UFC president Dana White for believing '70% power' 'was enough' to beat welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at UFC 167, Johny Hendricks now says the fashion he chose to have his hands wrapped before the fight dictated his striking strategy throughout the bout. Speaking with The Dallas Morning News, Hendricks says the choice of a lighter hand wrap forced him to pick and chose his power shots.
Hendricks also admits he may have gaffed by allowing St-Pierre to stand up during the fourth round rather than continue scoring from the top position.I usually get a thick wrap and this time I didn't do that. Instead of me asking for a thicker wrap, I kept my mouth shut. It's my fault. That's on me. It means I hit hard enough that I can punch through the 4 oz gloves. So that's what made my hands get bruised. I couldn't punch as hard as I could (have). The more injured I get, the less I get to use it, the more he gets comfortable, so I had to tone down my power. I was still hurting at 70 percent. Wait till I get a full hand wrap. That only builds confidence, because I beat the pound for pound best fighter in the world. I will be back, and I will be stronger than before.
(My grappling coach), he said, "you're 2-1 and best case scenario 3-0." They were giving me round-by round updates. We thought we had it in the bag.Yeah I did let him up. I was beating him everywhere I had him. He wasn't hurting me on the feet. I did some ground and pound. I showed the world I can do that. I want to win by knockout. I don't want to be the person who takes him down and is cautious. I want to make fans happy.
Hendricks, of course, would go on to drop the split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47).
Agreed. GSP is the biggest name in the sport, and one of the most popular athletes in Canada. The fact he won sportnet's athelete of the year online poll in an olympics shows how big he up here. He beat out Crosby after scoring the game winning and was on one the best starts to a NHL season in a long time. He beat out athletes that had multiple gold medals. It was also one of GSP's least successful years, only fight twice. One fight was against Kos the other was Hardy.
The fact he had as much pressure on him for as long as he has and has been a consummate professional the entire time speaks volumes about how much character he has.
"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Comments about 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion 4-Tool Combo Kit:
I bought this kit mainly for the Impact Driver and the Drill. The Flashlight I could have done without and haven't used it yet. The Jobsite Radio was a bonus for me but really glad I opted for it. As far as durability goes, I haven't owned this item for more than a month yet and have only put it to normal use. So I will hold off on reviewing its durability features for now.
Impact Driver: Works very well. The compact design is great and very comfortable. I am removing an old deck and wanted to preserve the framing so needed to remove the screws rather than just tear out the boards. This driver was invaluable. My old cordless was stripping screw heads constantly. This driver made the task easy. I removed about 250 3" screws without ever having to change the battery. The only complaint I have is the location of the forward/reverse switch. I always seem to press it by accident when working quickly. Not a big deal but can get aggravating at times. Never had that problem on my other cordless tools. I almost checked the poor design block for this but decided not to fault the whole thing for that.
Drill: Have only used it a few times and that was on soft pine. It does feel good in your hand though and the torque seems strong, but I really haven't had a chance to test it out completely.
Flashlight: Still in the wrapper so no comments here.
Jobsite Radio: What a great surprise this item was. I expected a tinny sounding, overbuilt radio. What I got was a great sounding system. I have not used the MP3 option yet but the radio is excellent and I am more than happy with just that.
The case, or Contractor Bag as they call it, is not a hard case, but a fabric one (nylon?). I always like hard cases for my tools but I'm happy with this case. It is a stiff enough square shape that makes it easy to stack. It also has a shoulder strap that comes in handy when your hands are full carrying other tools. I don't know how water proof it is though, if it is at all.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Adam Wainwright left the mound with a smile following the seventh inning.
It would have been hard not to smile after he looked like the Cy Young Award candidate he once was in the Cardinals' 3-1 win over the Giants.
Wainwright (10-10), coming off a complete game against Milwaukee, held the Giants to one run on five hits and struck out seven in seven innings. The 30- year-old, who missed all of 2011 following Tommy John surgery, is now 3-1 in his last five starts with a 1.75 earned run average and has lowered his ERA below four for the first time since April 7.
"Working off a good-located fastball, you can do a whole lot of stuff with your off-speed stuff," Wainwright said. "It starts with that good heater, down in the zone. It's still the best pitch in baseball."
"He knows how to pitch," Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro said. "He doesn't miss his spot very often. He worked both sides of the plate very good with the sinker, cutter, curveball."
Jon Jay picked up his fourth straight multi-hit game and scored a run for the Cardinals, who have won five of their last seven and salvaged a four-game split.
Madison Bumgarner (12-7) tossed his sixth straight quality start but could not outduel Wainwright. The left-hander gave up three runs on three hits and struck out seven in six innings of work.
Carlos Beltran put the Cardinals ahead in the first inning. After Jay led off with a base hit, Beltran laced a 2-1 slider over the left-field fence to spot St. Louis a two-run lead.
The Giants put together a rally in the fifth inning. Joaquin Arias and Bumgarner delivered back-to-back singles before Angel Pagan walked to load the bases with one out. Wainwright was able to minimize the damage, though, with the help of Jay. Marco Scutaro hit a fly ball to right-center field. Jay raced from center field to make a sliding catch and hold the Giants to a sacrifice fly. Wainwright then got Melky Cabrera to pop out to end the inning and preserve the lead.
St. Louis tacked on an insurance run in the sixth. Jay led off with a double to left-center field, swiped third and scored on Allen Craig's sac fly to give the Cardinals a 3-1 lead.
"He made things happen today," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Getting on base for [Beltran] early, and then the double later on and stealing third to give [Craig] a chance to drive him in, it was a good day. We can never ignore what he does in the outfield too, he made some big plays for us, again."
Mitchell Boggs tossed a perfect eighth and Jason Motte worked around a two-out walk to earn his 25th save of the season.
Over his last four games, Jay is 10-for-15...The Giants were held off the board in the first inning for the first time in their last seven games overall and eight road games...Buster Posey went 1-for-3 and has hit safely in 13 straight games and 22 of 24 games since the All-Star break (41- for-92)...Wainwright won his third straight decision...In his last four starts at Busch Stadium, Wainwright is 4-0 with a 1.55 ERA (five earned runs in 29 1/3 innings)...The Giants went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight.

Salkehatchie Soup, the much-awaited third novel in Ken Burger's trilogy of South Carolina stories, will be released March 2 by Evening Post Books.
And it doesn't disappoint.
As in Burger's previous tales (Swallow Savannah and Sister Santee), the cast of characters includes the powerful and the pitiful, both working through the options life presents them.
In his usual no-holds-barred style, Burger's tale of the Adger family continues from cushy golf resorts to a one-hole course in the middle of nowhere. Along the way, even small, seemingly private lives are caught up in the politics, crime, and intrigue of Miami, Manhattan, and Washington, D.C.
In Burger's mangy imagination, political bargains made in the cloakrooms of Congress impact both those who have fallen from grace and those who urgently seek it.
In his first novel, Swallow Savannah, Burger wrote about the collision of the Cold War and Civil Rights in the area around the Savannah River Site where plutonium for atomic weapons was produced in the 1950s and '60s. In Sister Santee, he spun an all-too-believable yarn about the pine plantations and racial uneasiness in the 1970s and '80s. With Salkehatchie Soup, Burger returns to his birthplace to expose the remains of 50 years of nuclear waste buried in our beautiful state.
Evening Post Books and Morris Nissan will host the Salkehatchie Soup book launch and author signing on March 2, 2013 from 1 - 4 p.m. at Morris Nissan, 1714 Savannah Highway, Charleston, S.C. Admission is free, refreshments will be served, and parking will be available. Burger will be selling and signing copies of the book.
Salkehatchie Soup will be available March 4 for $26.95 online at www.eveningpostbooks.com and www.amazon.com, inside the Post-Courier Building at 134 Columbus St. in Charleston and in local bookstores. Bulk sales are available upon request by contacting Evening Post Books at 843.958.7367.

From his conversation on The MMA Hour:
"Believe it, there's nothing that I want to do more than to be back in the cage, to be back fighting. I just love doing that. Life has been pushing me everywhere but in that direction, but now I'm getting so tired and frustrated with everything else that I'm going to just bury myself into a mat and train the whole day, and do what I love, which is training and fighting. For sure, I'll be fighting again... Man, I've just begun training again and I'm feeling good. I had a few problems in the family and now I got everything tuned up, everything is getting better. So I'm looking to be in top shape in three or four months from now, and from there I'll set up a date."

TMACOG: Bike exercise benefits kids and adultsWritten by Mary Pat McCarthy | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Turning the wheels on a bike helps children keep the wheels turning in the classroom. A study published in Denmark in November 2012 looked at school children and the effects of eating breakfast or riding a bike to school. Both improved concentration, but researchers were surprised to find that the improvement was more pronounced for those boys and girls who had ridden a bicycle.
The survey looked at 20,000 children between the ages of 5 and 19. The kids who rode to school were compared to the kids who were driven by their parents. The ones who exercised did better on puzzles or other work requiring concentration. Researchers noted that the effect of exercise lasted up to four hours after they arrived at school. Researcher and co-author of the report Niels Egelund said, "As a third grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone a half a year further in their studies." In the U.S., government studies say that as of 2009, only 13 percent of children walked or bicycled to school. In 1969, half of children walked or biked.
Most children attend grade or high school within a few miles of their home. While some have impediments to walking or cycling, many could find a safe route to school through residential neighborhoods. All area schools have bike racks where bicycles can be secured and most elementary schools have outdoor safety guards.
Toledo-area bike advocate Keith Webb says, "As a child, learning to ride a bicycle provided our first taste of independence and freedom. I experience that feeling every time I ride my bike, releasing the stress of daily life – I love it!" Webb is a member of TMACOG's Pedestrian and Bikeways Committee and involved in local bike planning. He uses a bicycle for transportation whenever he can, and that is most of the time. He cites statistics from the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey: 40 percent of all trips are within two miles of the home, and 50 percent of the working population commutes five miles or less to work. Yet more than 82 percent of trips five miles or less are made by personal motor vehicle. "Riding a bicycle is practical transportation," he says.
Dorothy Meyer is a Certified Nurse Practitioner and Toledo-area group exercise leader with an advanced degree in applied exercise physiology. She says that bicycling promotes cardiovascular fitness and is excellent exercise. "Bicycling is liberating no matter what body type you have," she said. "Many long-time runners are thin and light because it's hard to move mass on foot. But using a bicycle relies more on strength and balance than running. And because cycling is low-impact, people can do it longer with fewer injuries."
Meyer sees benefits to biking indoors or out. "Everyone loves being outside on a bike and the communal part of a bike ride with a friend is important to enjoying your exercise. But during the winter, or if you have balance or vision problems, you can still get a lot of value on a stationary bike."
Recent research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that bicycle commuting is one of the most effective ways to promote general health for adults. "Commuting is a relevant health behavior even for those who are sufficiently active in their leisure time," said the lead author of the study, Australian epidemiologist Takemi Sugiyama. Active transportation – walking or riding – adds regular exercise into every weekday and replaces sedentary driving.
To start commuting by bike, local cyclists recommend that you scout out the ride. Look for signed bike routes and paths, and for less busy roads that may parallel where you would normally drive. To figure how much time your commute will take on a bike, estimate that you will be traveling about nine miles per hour. Consider incorporating public transit. Ride a bike to work and take the bus home. On the next morning, reverse your commute and ride home. Or ride a bike to the bus. All TARTA buses have easy-to-use bike racks on the front of each bus. May is the month to explore the area's bicycle facilities! It's national Bike Month and local activities are posted at www.tmacog.org/bikemonth.htm.
- Wearetraffic.org is a local resource where you can find local biking information and help for learning how to ride with traffic.
- The League of American Bicyclists provides valuable tips on its website: www.bikeleague.org.
- Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) is the regional transportation planning organization including bicycle and pedestrian transportation. The TMACOG website (tmacog.org) has maps of regional bike facilities, information on laws, and many links to additional resources.
- The Ohio Department of Transportation website has more information including the free booklet "Cycling Smarter Guide."

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State at Salem Holds Disaster Drill for Nursing StudentsPosted Nov. 7, 2012
Salem, Ohio — Nearly 100 nursing students from the Kent State University at Salem campus got a good dose of simulated reality Monday as they participated in a disaster drill, with help from local first responders.
The drill began with a mock accident at the entrance to the campus on St. Route 45 involving a bicyclist, truck, car and a bus filled with passengers. The Kent State nursing laboratory was turned into a hospital emergency room, where students learned how to deal with mass casualties in a hospital environment.
Helping with the teaching opportunity were crew members with North Star's critical care ambulance and Med Evac helicopter. Crew members quizzed the students about the types of care to give for numerous medical emergency conditions, and used the opportunity to share their experiences.
Karen Zapko, assistant professor of nursing, explained that this is the first such drill conducted on the Salem campus and that she expects the students to gain a lot from the hands-on lesson. "Students were taught how to respond to an emergency where there are numerous casualties, as well as how to secure the scene, implement an incident command center, deal with communication issues, triage patients and transport patients to a hospital," she said. "Our students will soon find themselves in healthcare settings and we want them to understand the types of situations they will likely face."

Amid the chaos created during the disaster drill, Kent's nursing students encountered victims with varying degrees of injuries and conditions; frantic family members; media personnel; and ambulance and MedEvac medical crews.

Trees beautify the landscape and enhance the quality of life for all residents. The National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized our city as a "Tree City, USA" since 1987 in honor of the care we provide for our trees.
Trees provide aesthetic, environmental, and economic values, including clean air and increased property values. The Trees & Landscaping Division is responsible for the oversight of planting, pruning, preservation and removal of trees in city right-of-ways by private contractors, volunteer organizations and citizens when working in and around trees within city jurisdiction.
