As the dog days of summer continue, the big dog fish continue to bite on Lakes Marion and Moultrie and the Cooper River, according to Capt. Joe Dennis of Santee Cooper Charters.
Crappie and bream are biting on the brush piles in 25-to-30 feet of water on the lake on minnows and crickets, Dennis said.
As for river fishing, Dennis said, Bass are biting good on the Santee and Cooper Rivers early morning and late evening, top-water bite with tiny torpedoes and pop Rs.
The big lunkers, the flathead and Arkanas catfish, are grouped up under the shad schools in 25-to-45 feet of water on the lake.
Dennis, along with Capt. Truman Lyon at Santee Cooper Charters, provide expert guide fishing services on Lakes Marion and Moultrie and the Cooper River.

Jorgenson brings jazz trio to BGWritten by Brian Bohnert | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A man who made a career out of touring with some of the world's most famous musicians will bring his own brand of swing-inspired jazz to Bowling Green.
Guitarist, vocalist and composer John Jorgenson will perform a one-night-only, free show at Grounds for Thought on June 22. The 8 p.m. concert will feature a musical trio in an intimate acoustic set as part of the group's nationwide tour.
The show marks Jorgenson's third appearance at Grounds for Thought. The presence of books combined with intellectual energy establishes an intimate setting for his performances, Jorgenson said.
"You're playing amongst a bunch of books and a bunch of creativity. It's a nice, laid-back, creative environment," Jorgenson said. "We always have a great time there."
Jorgenson is best known as co-founder of the Desert Rose Band, an American country group he formed with former bassist for The Byrds, Chris Hillman.
"I first met Chris in 1985 and we started playing together in an acoustic quartet format," he said. "I was a fan of The Byrds, so it was a big deal for me to be playing with him. As we progressed, the songs he was writing sounded like they needed to be a full, electric country band. He was hesitant at first and it evolved over a year and a half or so, but we eventually got it going."
Established in 1985, the group recorded five albums and topped U.S. charts with five No. 1 singles including "He's Back and I'm Blue" and "I Still Believe in You." Along with the band's honors, Jorgenson was named "Guitarist of the Year" for three consecutive years by the Academy of Country Music (ACM), according to Jorgenson's website.
"I think the radio liked the band because it was a fresh sound," he said. "We had a lot of tradition in our sound. We had bluegrass elements, British rock elements, California harmony elements. We had our own particular type of harmony."
While he earned many accolades with the Desert Rose Band, his work with the group also gave Jorgenson new opportunities as a recording session artist, as well as the status as an international musician.
"The nice thing is that it brought me from being just a local musician to a national and international musician," he said. "Producers started using me on different projects and that opened up opportunities to work with people like Bob Seger and Bonnie Raitt. It was an important time because it propelled me forward to a whole new level of my career."
Jorgenson formed the guitar trio The Hellecasters after his departure from the Desert Rose Band in 1993. The group originally started as "just a matter of friends getting together and having some fun," but, after support from fans at their first show, Jorgenson, Will Ray and Jerry Donahue made a successful run that spawned four albums.
"We decided to get together and play a set of instrumental music with three guitar players," he said. "People really liked it and people kept asking us to play more. We had no plans to keep playing or to do any more shows, but because people liked it so much, we ended up doing a few more shows. That was one of those things where if you tried to plan that, it'd probably never happen. It happened on its own somehow."
Former Monkees guitarist and vocalist Michael Nesmith started his Pacific Arts label in the late 1970s. It was under that label that The Hellecasters released their debut album, Jorgenson said.
From fan to band mate
Throughout his career, Jorgenson made many good impressions among some of the music industry's biggest players. During a Desert Rose concert in 1988, his guitar skill led to what would be a six-year gig with one of pop music's biggest names: Elton John.
"He was a fan of the Desert Rose Band and he came to see us at the Roxy in 1988. He liked the show and he even gave us a couple quotes to use. Then, six years later he called me to play with him," he said. "It was pretty strange but you just never know. I knew he liked my guitar playing but I thought I'd just be doing a recording session. But as it turned out, he needed somebody to play. It was a great experience."
Through that experience, Jorgenson was able to record and play with music legends like Mary J. Blige, Sting and Billy Joel.
Gypsy jazz
Throughout his career, Jorgenson has opened his mind to many different styles of music. Though, no matter what Jorgenson plays onstage, American gypsy jazz remains his true passion.
Pioneered by European jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, the high-energy, melodic, emotional style blends elements of American swing and European jazz.
In 2003, Jorgenson was asked to portray Reinhardt in the 2004 feature film, "Head in the Clouds" starring Charlize Theron and Penélope Cruz.
"[Reinhardt] was inspired by American jazz coming out in the late 1920s. He decided to try to play that on the guitar as opposed to trumpet," he said. "It was fantastic. I got to pretend I was my favorite musician for a day."
The John Jorgenson Quintet
To further express his love for American gypsy jazz, Jorgenson formed The John Jorgenson Quintet. Comprised of five musicians, The John Jorgenson Quintet tours the globe playing gypsy jazz.
While Jorgenson composes most of the music himself, he said he has the freedom to choose what music the group plays if he does not.
"It's very personal," he said. "My musicians are really great and they support me all the way and they have the ability to take it away if they need to. I also really enjoy the touring aspect and getting to go around the world and introducing the world to this type of music."

Kaiser: Former Hen Castellanos having 'Major' successWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
On the evening of Nov. 21, the Detroit Tigers announced they had traded All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Ian Kinsler. With that move, the general manager of the Tigers, Dave Dombrowski, called a press conference where he announced Detroit's megastar Miguel Cabrera would move back to first base, leaving third base open for the 22-year-old Nick Castellanos.
With four years of minor league experience and only 18 plate appearances in the MLB, a starting spot for a World Series contending team was the rookie's job to lose.
Last year for the Toledo Mud Hens, Castellanos posted a batting average of .278 with 18 dingers and 76 runs batted in. A natural third baseman, he was forced to move to the outfield with the expectation of competing for the job of everyday left fielder in Detroit for 2014. Needless to say, all of those plans changed in late November, and he was immediately moved back to third base.
Castellanos has been the top prospect of the Detroit Tigers since mid-2011 and has finally been given the chance to play every day with the big club in 2014. So far the young player has taken the opportunity and ran with it. In a lineup that is stacked with proven talent that includes Cabrera, Kinsler, Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and Austin Jackson, Castellanos has opened eyes primarily batting in the six hole.
As of April 27, Castellanos is hitting .258 with 3 home runs and 13 RBIs. While those statistics don't initially look stellar, when you take a closer look at his advanced metrics you will see why he has been so impressive, and why he will only continue to get better.
Castellanos has always been known as a bat-first player due to his ability to hit the ball hard. So far, he has been able to transfer that ability swimmingly into Major League play. Castellanos currently has a 37.7 percent line drive rate on balls that he puts in play. That's good for second place in the entire MLB. That rate is a bit inflated and will be hard to sustain throughout the course of the entire season, but it gives him an advantage that many young hitters do not have. While many young hitters are used to pulling the baseball, Castellanos features an inside out swing that allows him to drive the ball to the opposite field. That will definitely help him to make semi-seamless adjustments against big league pitching throughout his rookie season. When pitchers try to locate the ball outside to him, Castellanos will gladly drive it over the second baseman's or — even better — the right fielder's head.
Another reason to expect improvement in his traditional numbers is that his BABIP (batting average on balls in play) is a mere .280, which is the 57th lowest in the MLB among all qualified players. The league average BABIP fluctuates around the .300 mark, and generally increases with the more line drives a player hits. Put simply, Castellanos is having a bit of bad luck whenever he puts the ball in play. Once some of his hits start to find gaps in the field and his BABIP increases, we will start to see an increase in his actual batting average.
Castellanos is an excellent hitter and has already shown flashes of brilliance at the big league level this season. Like most hitters, he will surely go through slumps and have to figure out how to grind through it. Major League pitchers will eventually find some of his weaknesses and he will have to adjust. So far, all signs have pointed to him being more than capable of making those impending adjustments.
Right now Castellanos is hitting the ball hard and showing fans why has been so highly touted since the Tigers drafted him. If he continues to drive the ball to all areas of the field, he could become one of the most dangerous hitters in an already deadly Detroit lineup. The Tigers are infamous for using their top prospects as currency when they are looking for proven big league talent at the trade deadline, but they held onto Castellanos for a reason. Watching young Nick Castellanos grow from a tiger cub into a possible cornerstone of the Tigers is a process that every Detroit fan should be excited for.
Cameron J. Kaiser is a senior at St. Francis de Sales High School. He blogs about the Detroit Tigers on his website ttowntiger.com.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves saw a 2-2 tie snapped with a late third period goal that gave the Texas Stars a 3-2 win before a crowd of 10,721 at the Allstate Arena Saturday night.
Center Jason Krog and defenseman Paul Postma tallied goals for Chicago (29-24-2-4), which saw a three-game winning streak snapped with the loss.
Texas forward Greg Rallo sent a shot zipping through traffic in front of the net that left wing Francis Wathier redirected past a screened Peter Mannino to put Texas on top for good, 14:46 into the third period.
"We dominated the whole game but their goaltender put on a great performance," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "We worked hard but we just didn't get it by him."
Texas (31-19-3-3) wasted no time jumping out to a 1-0 lead. Wathier scored 36 seconds into the game when he waked in and flung a shot past Mannino from above the left faceoff circle.
The Wolves evened it up, 1-1, at 4:24 of the first period. Krog attempted to flip a backhanded pass across the crease and the puck deflected off of a Texas player and into the net.
A power-play opportunity late in the second period helped Chicago inch ahead, 2-1. Right wing Darren Haydar held the puck along the boards and shipped it up to Postma at the point, and the blueliner fired a long blast that skipped past Texas goaltender Richard Bachman with 1:06 remaining in the frame.
Bachman (21-12-3) turned aside 42 shots for the Stars.
Texas responded early in the third period to knot the score, 2-2, with a shorthanded goal. Colton Sceviour stole the puck at the blue line, raced into the Wolves zone and fired a backhanded shot before knocking his own rebound back past Mannino, 1:32 into the frame.
Mannino (14-14-3) posted 24 saves for the Wolves.
The Wolves host the Rockford IceHogs at the Allstate Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Chicago 1 1 0 -- 2

Not since Hurricane Hugo has Berkeley County seen such destruction. Thats been a common refrain following the wicked February ice storm.
And like Hugo, the storm had its costs. However, in the amount of lives lost and cleanup, the February ice storm came in at only a fraction of Hugos cost (35 lives lost, $5.9 billion in cleanup).
One person lost his life in Berkeley County during the ice storm as he tried to heat his home with a charcoal grill and, so far, the storm has cost the county $5 million in cleanup.
Now the county is seeking reimbursement of the monetary expense.
Deputy Supervisor Kace Smith addressed Berkeley County Council during the June 23 regular meeting. Smith requested and unanimously received permission to apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency funds to reimburse up to 75 percent of the countys expenses.
Were not certain of the amount of reimbursement we will get, Smith said.
But one reimbursement the county definitely wont get is matching state funds, she added. In past times, the state would reimburse 12.5 percent but no county will get that aid following the storm cleanup, Smith said.
She said that the countys general fund will likely end up paying $50,000, and countys Water & Sanitation will likely end up paying $1 million.

Library Instruction
Schedule a library instruction session using our Online Request Form.
Types of Instruction
Library instruction for first year classes (KSU's Flashpoint and SSCT's College Composition, for examples) takes a very general approach to introducing students to the services and sources of information available to them. The general lay-out and navigational structure of the web site is discussed. Example searches are conducted to find books in KentLINK and OhioLINK and items are requested. Students are shown how to find and request documents and the plethora of databases and online sources to find information. Access to library resources from off-campus is also addressed. A short discussion generally takes place, when time permits, on the evaluation of web sites found using search engines. When the classes are small enough, laptops are used to give the students a hands-on experience with navigating the library site. A pamphlet is handed out which has reminders of their instruction, URLs, and library policies. To be most effective, this type of instruction should always be held in the library.
Information Literacy
Information literacy is the ability to identify an information need, locate information efficiently, evaluate information, and use information effectively and ethically. The library has adopted its definition and application of information literacy from ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries). Although it is integrated to some degree into all library instruction, specific sets of skills are taught to students involved in research projects for their classes. Please consult our Information Literacy webpage for a fuller description and a detailed list of skills taught. Instructors may want to review this list and select those skills needed to complete their assignments when scheduling a session with our librarians.
Library instruction sessions for subject specific classes are individually designed to meet the research goals of the instructor and students. To meet these research goals, the most successful sessions require that the students have a pre-selected research topic. It is extremely helpful to discuss the research assignment with the instructor in order to choose the best sources for the students to use. When the students meet in the library for the instruction session, the librarian often provides a handout and an overview of the sources that should be used. The students are then provided with laptops and reference materials in order to start finding resources for their topics. The librarian meets with each student to ensure that the students are finding the sources that they need. If needed, the librarian can provide a follow-up library session with the students, individually or as a class, to ensure that the students are finding the best possible sources for their assignments. While it is better to hold these session in the library (where all available resources can be found), they are sometimes held in computer labs on campus, when only electronic sources are needed.
The library plays an important role in addressing the problem of student plagiarism. As a component of information literacy (described by the ACRL Standards--Standard Five), it is a responsibility of the library to assist students and faculty in understanding what constitutes plagiarism and how cases of plagiarism should be handled. As a result, the library has developed a Plagiarism Workshop, often provided to University Orientation classes, geared towards informing students of the university's policy on student cheating and plagiarism as well as providing practical ways to avoid the problem. The library also conducts " Plagiarism School" for first-time offenders. These sessions are modeled after "Traffic School," as a way to mitigate penalties in return for reeducation on the topic. Instructors with questions on plagiarism or faculty teaching the First Year Experience course should contact Rob Kairis.
Problem-Based Learning
The library is interested in working with instructors on problem-based assignments. If you are an instructor considering an assignment that describes a problem that requires students to use information sources to solve the problem, please consider contacting us to discuss holding a session in the library. Assignments such as these (particularly when students work in small groups) are an excellent way to allow students to apply practical information literacy skills for conducting research on a topic, using both print and online library resources.
Special Projects
The following are examples of how the library provides instruction in various contexts. These examples demonstrate different approaches used by the library over the years to deliver instruction (environments, tools, teaching techniques, etc.). They are presented to give faculty an idea of the types of instruction their students may experience. Still, the library is always interested in working with faculty to develop new methods of delivering library instruction.
Middle Childhood Education
After receiving a grant from the Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education (ILILE), the library developed an instructional model for assisting future middle school teachers (students enrolled in the KSU course MCED 40006, taught by Dr. Bill Kist and Dr. Lori Wilfong) in creating lesson plans for presenting information literacy skills to middle school students. These future teachers were tested using the Classroom Performance System (obtained through grant funds) at the beginning of the course and then at the end (after receiving instruction on information literacy and creating and presenting their lesson plans). Results showed overall improvement in the understanding of the Information Literacy Standards for 5-8th grade students.
Every year Dr. Carrie Schweitzer assigns library research to her Oceanography, Earth Dynamics, Environmental Science, and Earth History classes. Recognizing the difficulty in providing library instruction for these large classes in just one session, Dr. Schweitzer brings the classes in twice during the semester. The first session serves to introduce the students to the library and it resources while helping students understand the nature of their assignment as well as assisting with topic selection. Later in the semester when students are beginning to work more seriously on their projects the classes are brought back for a refresher on library resources and given time to work individually with librarians on their specific projects.
Art History
Dr. Molly Lindner often teaches sections of her Art History I course (ARTH 22006) by having about half of the classes meet in the library. Students are divided into small groups and work together on papers and presentations. Although no formal library instruction is provided, librarians (as well as a student instructor assigned to the course) meet with each group from time to time throughout the semester, assisting groups with progress on their assignments. While laptops are often used to assist in finding resources the focus is on using print sources. Dr. Lindner provides extensive lists of books that are placed on "reserve" but left in the library's study area for easy access and use by her students.
Dental Hygiene
Dr. Mary Rude, a former Stark State College instructor in the Dental Hygiene program worked closely with librarians to craft an assignment for her Dental Pharmacology Portfolio Project (DHY 222). Using Problem-Based Learning techniques, students were separated into small groups and given the name of a prescription drug and an over-the-counter drug that addresses the same condition as the prescription medicine. Groups had to determine whether or not there was some value in the over-the-counter equivalent, using information literacy skills presented by a librarian along with library resources. The class was brought in for two sessions and had to write a feedback paper and create a PowerPoint presentation describing their findings.
Upward Bound
In addition to providing library instruction to KSU and SSCT students, the library often is asked to provide instruction to community users. Upward Bound is a program that prepares low-income high school students for college. Stark State has brought students enrolled in their Upward Bound program into the library for instruction and assistance in completing research assignments. The hope is that exposing these students to the library resources available to college students and the rigor of college-like research will better prepare these students for success in college. Students worked in groups and were assigned a case study consisting of digestive disorder symptoms. The goal was for each group to figure out what disorder was described in the case student (another example of the application of Problem-Based Learning in a library setting). Groups were brought in for two sessions. The first to learn about the relevant resources presented by the librarian and the second session served as an opportunity for groups to work on their case studies with assistance by the librarian.

Search Strategy Worksheet
The library uses various tools to assess its library instruction. Several surveys are currently under development that will target the following groups for their opinions on the library's instructional efforts:
Students who are provided instruction by a librarian will be given a URL to record their opinions using an online survey instrument developed using Kent State's Flashlight survey application.
Instructors who bring their classes into the library for instruction will be surveyed using Flashlight.
Fellow Kent State librarians will be invited to review Kent State Stark librarians from time to time.
The library obtained a Classroom Performance System (CPS) as part of a grant. This system allows users to record answers to multiple choice questions, providing instant response and analysis. It has already been used to evaluate information literacy instruction for Middle Childhood Education students.
The library regularly uses this total market survey instrument to gather information about its services in comparison to other similar libraries in the state and across the nation. Results from previous LibQUAL+ surveys:
