Yarmouth pounds the 'Hounds, 34-6
YARMOUTH—Perhaps the Yarmouth football team won't get a test after all.
The Clippers, the defending Class C state champions, winners by an average of 43-4 in their first four outings this fall, hosted recent rival Lisbon Friday night in a contest expected by most to be down to the wire.
After all, a year ago, the Greyhounds twice had Yarmouth on the ropes before suffering two-point losses, including a thriller in the Western Class C Final.
This time around, it wasn't even close.
The Clippers got a 61-yard TD scamper from senior standout Anders Overhaug on the first play of the game and never looked back as Overhaug rushed for three more scores and caught another TD from sophomore Brady Neujahr and Yarmouth matched another prolific offensive production with a stellar effort with its underappreciated defense in a 34-6 victory.
The Clippers made it 17 straight wins, 25 in their last 26 outings and improved to 5-0 on the 2011 season, handing Lisbon its first setback in five games this autumn.
"We practiced hard all week," said Overhaug. "We came out and did our best and it was better than them, I guess."
Knockout punch
Yarmouth won just once in its first 18 varsity games, but has been one of the state's premier programs since.
The Clippers reached the regional final in 2009 before losing to eventual state titlist Dirigo. A year ago, Yarmouth didn't stumble once, but was seriously tested at Lisbon in a 16-14 regular season victory, which wasn't decided until a 28-yard field goal from kicker Bryce Snyder with just 14.9 seconds remaining.
The teams squared off again in November in a memorable regional final. In that one, the Greyhounds appeared in control, going up, 12-0 in the second period and 12-7 at halftime, but the Clippers battled back and won, 14-12, thanks to a 65-yard Neujahr TD run with just over four minutes to go. Yarmouth then dominated Stearns, 34-6, to win its first ever championship.
Despite losing some standouts to graduation, the Clippers haven't missed a beat in 2011, easily downing host Old Orchard Beach (41-0) and visiting Oak Hill (51-7), holding off a challenge from host Traip (27-7) and blanking visiting Sacopee Valley (54-0).
Lisbon rallied for a 24-14 win at Oak Hill to start the year, then knocked off visiting Old Orchard Beach (34-10), host Boothbay (21-0) and visiting Freeport (28-14).
The Greyhounds were eager for another crack at the champions, but it became clear that Yarmouth wasn't about to be stopped or even slowed on Friday night in a game featured on both a radio broadcast and television simulcast (the rebroadcast can be heard at mainesportsnetwork.com).
"It's a great atmosphere," said Jim Hartman, the only varsity coach the Clippers program has known. "Who'd have thought a few years ago you'd have so many people here? TV was here, radio was here. It's great."
Lisbon won the opening coin toss, but elected to defer possession to the second half, giving Yarmouth first dibs on offense.
Big mistake.
The Clippers took over at their 39 and 15 seconds into the game had a 7-0 lead after Overhaug bolted up the middle and didn't stop until he found paydirt from 61-yards out and Snyder added the extra point.
"It was great blocking by the offensive line," said Overhaug. "They opened the hole and I was gone."
"That was huge," said junior Caleb Uhl. "It gave us a lot of momentum. Even though it was the first play of the game, it was the turning point."
The Greyounds picked up a pair of first downs on their initial drive, but stalled in Yarmouth territory and turned the ball over when junior quarterback Ryan Riordan (making his first start behind center since returning from injury) was intercepted by Clippers senior Bart Gallagher.
"I think we're undervalued in pass defense," Gallagher said. "Our coverage was great tonight. I was in the right spot at the right time twice, but it could have been anyone else. Our defensive line was awesome, wreaking havoc in the backfield. Every single pass was short because of them. We didn't know they'd throw a lot. We knew a good team was coming at us. We were hard hitting too and we came out on top. We have great leaders on this team and great coaches. It inspires us to go hard."
Starting at its 26, Yarmouth embarked on a longer scoring drive, taking seven plays and 2 minutes, 7 seconds to march 74 yards to double its lead.
Bruising junior runner Nik Pelletier broke free for 28 yards and on the next play, Overhaug ran 22 yards to the Lisbon 19. After Neujahr scampered for nine yards, Pelletier picked up two for a first-and-goal at the 8. Neujahr got the Clippers close, running to the 1 and Overhaug did the rest, scoring from there. Snyder's extra point gave Yarmouth a 14-0 advantage with 4:27 still to play in the opening stanza.
After the Greyhounds went three-and-out, the Clippers offense finally stalled, punting the ball away. As the first period (which ended with Yarmouth holding a 140-49 edge in offense) gave way to the second, Lisbon picked up 30 yards on a gorgeous diving catch from sophomore Quincy Thompson. Two plays later, senior Zack Splude scored on a 2-yard TD run and the Greyhounds were on the board. Splude's point-after was blocked, but it appeared Lisbon had momentum, down just 14-6.
When the Clippers' next drive stalled at the Greyhounds' 22, the visitors had a chance to climb even closer, but on third-and-10, Riordan's pass was intercepted by Gallagher, who returned it to the Lisbon 28. After a 15-yard facemask penalty was tacked on, Yarmouth was in business.
Two plays later, Overhaug scored again, this time on an 8-yard run. Snyder's extra point gave the Clippers a 21-6 lead with 5:05 to go before halftime.
The Greyhounds looked to draw closer before halftime and had a pair of opportunities, but squandered them.
First, after moving to midfield, a holding penalty forced a punt. The Lisbon defense then forced a fumble and Riordan recovered at the Yarmouth 34 with just under two minutes to go.
If the Greyhounds scored a touchdown, they'd be very much in the game, would have a wave of momentum and could conceivably have pulled even when they got the ball first in the second half, but that wouldn't be the case.
In fact, just the opposite happened.
Lisbon drove to the Clippers 20, but out of nowhere Yarmouth senior Ben Weinrich, once again a defensive force, sacked Riordan, forced a fumble and recovered the loose pigskin at the Clippers' 27.
Only 43 seconds remained, but 73 yards was no obstacle for this high powered attack. First, Neujahr found senior Dennis Erving for 31 yards down the left sideline for a first down at the Greyhounds' 42. After three straight incomplete passes, Uhl broke free for 35 yards and a first-and-goal at the 7 with 12.7 seconds showing. Then, Overhaug took centerstage one more time.
After Neujahr rolled right, he waited and threw to Overhaug, who fell backwards into the end zone with just 2.9 seconds to go.
"We had to hold back on Brady last year, but this week, I knew I had to unleash him a little bit," Hartman said. "He came to play tonight."
Snyder's point-after was no good, clanking off the left upright, but Yarmouth took a commanding 27-6 advantage to the locker room.
In the first 24 minutes, the Clippers outgained the Greyhounds, 272 yards to 86 and forced three turnovers, while giving the ball away once.
Any Lisbon comeback hopes were quickly dashed in the third period.
After the visitors went three-and-out on their initial possession, Yarmouth drove 75 yards on seven plays, eating up 3:01, to account for the game's final score.
Steady runs of 4-yards from Overhaug, 6 and 4 from Pelletier and 2 from Uhl, set the stage for a 37-yard Neujahr to Shields-Auble aerial hookup to the Greyhounds' 23. Pelletier gained 5 yards on the ground, then Overhaug beat the defense to the right pylon for an 18-yard score with 7:09 left. Snyder kicked the extra point and the Clippers were up, 34-6.
After another Lisbon punt, Yarmouth drove again, but a fumble ended the threat.
In the fourth quarter, the Greyounds punted twice, the Clippers once and Yarmouth fumbled the ball away to end its final drive. Lisbon got across midfield one final time, but time expired and the Clippers celebrated their impressive 28-point win.
"We knew Lisbon would be a great team and we'd needed to be fired up and ready to go," said Uhl. "We know it's going to be a great game every time we play them. We've always had a lot of depth. We work really hard in practice. We prepare all week. It's great to have the fan support. That keeps us going."
"I think the game was closer than the score says," Overhaug said. "I was expecting a closer game."
"(Lisbon's) a very young football team, but very good," Hartman added. "I think sooner or later, they'll beat us, but not tonight. I'm really proud of this team. It was an intense week. We're really hurt."
For the game, Yarmouth managed 461 yards of offense, while Lisbon produced just 144.
Individually, Overhaug led the way with 176 yards and four TDs on 13 carries. He also had a 7-yard TD reception.
"He's a monster," Hartman said, of Overhaug. "I don't think there's anyone better in the state."
Uhl had a breakout performance, gaining 107 yards on 10 carries. Pelletier bulled his way to 87 yards on 13 attempts. Neujahr rushed twice for 16 yards. Mix in seven more yards from Erving and sophomore Matt Woodbury and the Clippers produced 393 yards on the ground.
"We have a bunch of speed in the backfield," said Overhaug. "Nik's nice and big. Caleb is so quick. It's a great combination."
"Lisbon does certain things and we threw a new offense in tonight to confuse them," Hartman said. "I don't think they expected Caleb and he was all over the place. Caleb's runs were backbreakers. Nik had power. Then you give it to the stud and he's in the end zone."
Neujahr passed nine times, completing just three, but they went for 74 yards and a score. Shields-Auble had a catch for 36 yards and Erving one for 31.
For Lisbon, Splude rushed 10 times for 58 yards (50 of which came in the second half) and scored his team's lone touchdown. Riordan struggled through the air, going just 4-of-14 for 53 yards with two interceptions. Sophomore Jordan Torres had seven rushes for 24 yards and also produced some nice kickoff returns.
All in all, however, the Greyhounds never hit their stride, thanks to Yarmouth's defensive effort.
"We stress defense," Hartman said. "Our offense looks pretty, but we stress that defense and special teams win championships. Our kids are just great athletes. You can't minimize the defense of Ben Weinrich. He leads us in tackles every game from the nose guard. He consumes blockers. (Senior Keith) McDonald had a great night and (sophomore) Tommy Lord was huge. We turned them loose and had a very good night. We have some great kids here. They have good attitudes."
Three to go
While Lisbon closes the regular season with games at home against Sacopee Valley and Traip and a trip to Winthrop, Yarmouth is at Boothbay next week, before playing its final home game versus first-year Telstar and closing at Freeport.
The Clippers know they still have a lot of work to do.
"I think we've got to keep practicing really hard," said Uhl. "Obviously, staying healthy is a big thing. We have to keep the intensity up."
"We have to focus on the next game," Overhaug said. "Every game's important. We have to win the rest of them. We don't have a very big roster. We have a lot of injuries right now. If we lose one or two people, we can barely field a team. We have to be smart."
"We have to continue to develop the passing game," Hartman added. "We have to unleash Brady. He has a great arm, but he's only a sophomore. He gets nervous and doesn't see things develop. We have to continue to hone our defense. We have to keep the kids healthy and keep developing fundamentals. We don't mention win streaks or the other team, just fundamentals and getting better. Traip's equal to us. They're a tough football team. I have yet to see Winslow. Maranacook, I don't think anyone can overlook. There are good teams out there.
"Boothbay is playing really good defense. They have an outstanding line. They run our offense. If we don't stay disciplined, it could be a long night for us. We have to get our act together and get ready for that."

The head of Numbers USA says the Republican presidential candidate who's the strongest proponent of immigration enforcement may not be on the debate stage this week.
An advocate for sound policy in the military says President Obama needs to be called to task for what she deems a condescending comment he made during the most recent presidential debate.
During Monday's foreign policy debate in Boca Raton, Florida, Republican nominee Mitt Romney attacked President Obama for his massive military cuts, specifically noting the dwindling size of the Navy. The president responded by accusing Romney of not taking the time to see how the military works.
"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military's changed," the president stated.
But Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR), suggests that Obama has forgotten the fact that Vice President Joe Biden attended the dedication of a special statue last year in New York City.
"It's dedicated to the Special Operations Green Beret Horse Soldiers," she notes. "They vanquished the Taliban, and at that time, horses were the best means of transportation in that mountainous terrain -- the home of the cave-living terrorists who plotted murderous attacks on America."
Donnelly also determines that Obama is unaware of a book by a retired infantry officer whose platoon ran out of ammunition during a battle in Afghanistan in 2006.
"The infantry platoon that the author led was in repeated battles and ambushes in the Hindu Kush," the CMR president references. "They saw soldiers coming at them with scimitars -- that's the weapon that is used to behead people. And yes, they fought with bayonets. It was the last resort that they had."
She concludes that President Obama is the one who has not taken the time to see how the military works, so his comment should not be allowed to stand.
The head of Numbers USA says the Republican presidential candidate who's the strongest proponent of immigration enforcement may not be on the debate stage this week.

By Army Sgt. Tresa L. AllemangSpecial to American Forces Press Service
ALEXANDRIA, La., Oct. 24, 2008 Along with the variety of camouflaged military vehicles that rolled along Louisiana's roadways during hurricanes Gustav and Ike, two newly wrapped trailers, covered with an American flag design and National Guard logo, rushed to distribution points to make deliveries to soldiers and residents in need of supplies.
The moving billboards recently were added to the Louisiana Army National Guard's fleet, and they made their first runs hauling water, ice, meals and cots.
The National Guard distributed more than 15 million bottles of water, 13.4 million pounds of ice, 11.6 million packaged meals and 55,000 tarps during its response to the hurricanes, Army Capt. Marc E. Prymek, deputy director of military support at the Joint Operations Center at Camp Beauregard, La., said.
"The fact that [the trailers] are wrapped draws attention and gives people the opportunity to see that the Guard is working not only during disasters, but constantly, to ensure readiness for any given mission," said Army Master Sgt. John D. Jewell, a Louisiana Guardsman.
The vehicles' regular mission of supplying armories was put on hold for about a month to assist with hurricane response, he said.
Jewell, who has been a truck driver for 25 years at the U.S. Property and Fiscal Office on Camp Beauregard, said the vehicles are used to haul equipment ordered by armories across the state and are called the "Big D" -- for "delivery" -- by Guardsmen.
The trucks could be seen just about anywhere during the hurricanes, but this was just the beginning for them, as they now assume normal duties, Jewell said.
Supplies come in to the central warehouse on Camp Beauregard, then the two trucks spend about three weeks to deliver them to all of the states' 79 armories.

Jadeveon Clowney made quite an impression. With South Carolina trailing Michigan late in the Outback Bowl on the first day of 2013 in Tampa, the Gamecocks' defensive end starred in the hit seen 'round the college football world - and then some.
The Wolverines inexcusably forgot to block Clowney, a consensus All-American.
He clobbered ballcarrier Vincent Smith, forced a fumble, sent Smith's helmet into orbit and recovered the fumble to start a Gamecocks rally.
ESPN replays and YouTube clicks made Clowney famous. The 20-year-old Rock Hill native jetted to L.A. in July to pick up his "Best Play" ESPY award from ESPN. He was a Heisman Trophy candidate.
He couldn't possibly live up to the hype.
Though the Gamecocks (10-2) had another good season this year, Clowney slumped (three sacks after a school-record 13 in 2012). But Wisconsin running backs better watch out in the Capital One Bowl on Wednesday.

Parched Earth Policy: Are We Running Out of Water?
As Americans gather around their Thanksgiving tables for an abundance of food, it will be a sharp contract to what some experts are calling a severe crisis - the scarcity of fresh water.
The scarcity, these analysts say, can no longer be avoided as the effects of a world water shortage will have life-threatening and global economic consequences.
"We're already in a water crisis here in the U.S.," said Mark LeChavallier, director of innovation and environmental stewardship for American Water, a water and wastewater utility company.
"It's big in areas on the West Coast and only getting bigger in areas like the East Coast. It's almost taken for granted that we will have water, but we can't do that anymore," he said.
It's not just the U.S. that's facing a severe water shortage. India, China, Russia and parts of Africa and elsewhere in Asia are just a few of the regions facing increasing water scarcity, according to a report by Deloitte.
A major reason for the water shortage is drought. Some 56 percent of the United States is experiencing drought conditions - the most extensive area of drought in the U.S. in 12 years of tracking. Other areas of the world, like the Korean peninsula, have endured the worst drought conditions in more than a century.
Adding to the water scarcity is an ever increasing world population - along with increased urbanization - and economic growth, all of which demand and consume larger and larger amounts of water. The United Nations has said that two thirds of the world will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.
The problem going forward is how to get more from less, say analysts.
"Water does cover 70 percent of the earth but only 2.5 percent of it is fresh water, and if you break it down further, there's only about 0.006 percent fresh water available in the world," said Jose Lopez, assistant professor of physics at Seton Hall University.
"The population is competing for a scarcer resource, which is what water is becoming, because of the global demand," said Lopez.
One of the biggest competitors for water is agriculture. Some 70 percent of global water use is tied to the industry. For example, 1 pound of wheat requires 175 gallons of water, a pound of rice, 400 gallons and 1 pound of beef, 600 gallons.
But other sectors, like power, clothing, automotive and technology, also require large amounts of water. A survey by the research group EIRIS fund that that under current business conditions, water demand will outstrip supply by 2030 - and will potentially put $63 trillion of global gross domestic product at risk by 2050.
At least one big-name company recognizes the limits of water usage. Ford (NYSE:F) announced last year that by 2015, it would reduce 30 percent of the amount it used to make its 2009 vehicles. And pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk said it reduced its water consumption by 20 percent in 2009.
Coca Cola (CCE) was accused in 2003 of creating severe water shortages in India by extracting large quantities of water for its factories -but has since said it "would replace the water it took out."
"Businesses are paying much closer attention to water. Demand for water has effectively made it a business operation to seek out better water management strategies," Lopez said.
But some businesses might not be doing enough to keep fresh water flowing, said Nancy Gottovi, executive director of Central Park N.C., a nonprofit group that promotes the sustainable use of natural resources. The group is in a battle of sorts with Alcoa (AA) over dams the company controls on the Yadkin River in North Carolina.
"We have nothing against Aloca, but they built four dams on the Yadkin for their smelting plant and the plant is gone now," Gottovi said. "They sell the energy from the dams and want a new license to do so. We don't think that's the best use of the water. We think we should judge what's best."
For its part, Alcoa says it's "working closely with the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources to ensure that North Carolina's water interests are well represented and strongly supported in the relicensing agreement."
But there are other concerns besides Alcoa, including water used for drilling oil by fracking, said Gottovi, who is going to the White House next week for a talk with Obama administration officials about water policy. "Water can't be treated like a commodity."
It's a lack of any kind of water policy that is a major problem, said Cindy Wallis-Lage, president of the water division of Black & Veatch, a consulting and construction firm that focuses on infrastructure development.
"We need major education about the use of water, something that starts at the grade school level," Wallis-Lage said. "People need to realize how much water they use and the value of it. We're losing 7 billion gallons a day in the U.S. from leaking pipes. We have technology to create the water we need, we just need to capitalize on it."
White House policy on water currently consists of water safety and some stops and starts over the issue of fracking. But nothing on water supplies.
As for controlling the conditions creating droughts, one analyst says we had better get used to an uncertain forecast.
"Our climate - whether you want to call it global warming or climate change - is different than it was 50 years ago," said William Moomaw, professor of international environmental policy at Tufts University. (Read More: California to Fight Climate Change.)
"To have a hurricane like Sandy in October just shows you how the oceans are warming. The weather patterns are only going to change even more and get worse as time goes on." said Moomaw.
Fixing the problem of water scarcity will take time and effort, said Kevin Petrovsky, associate professor of environmental science and associate academic dean at Northwood University.
"We need to continue to develop desalination technologies that are not so energy intensive or polluting. We need to accelerate our wastewater recycling programs to allow for more reuse of water," said Petrovksy. "And we need to decide as a society whether green lawns and landscaping, golf courses, swimming pools and unnecessary agriculture (like tobacco and coffee) are worth the use of water."
In the end, said Mark LeChavallier, it's realizing the scarcity is real.
"People have to learn that water is critical to the quality of their lives and economic development," LeChavallier said. "It's important to start the dialogue on how to solve this problem."
Parched Earth Policy: Are We Running Out of Water? - Yahoo! Finance
Black Blade: Have blue 55-gallon plastic drums, water wells and fresh water streams. Yet one never knows what the government will do to restrict access to fresh water. Long term droughts have hurt much of the United States and other parts of the world. Good to store enough fresh water for several months if possible.

Good to know, thanks!
Looking to do multi course dinner so I'll stick with Perbacco.
I think I'm replacing Wayfare with Park Tavern . This place seems fun, food looks exciting.
OJ seems fun. A few cocktails and snacks maybe.
La Ciccia seems very good, but have only 5 dinners.
For me A16 and Pebacco seem more interesting than Incanto.
Always wanted to check out Tony's Pizza Napoletana too. I have a real weakness for buratta too.
Which do you prefer?
Thanks for the input.
Thanks. I was actually considering Barbacco as well, just a little unsure of the communal seating. I don't mind it at large tables, but don't want to share a 6 top with three others.
I think I may check out Aziza.
I'll look into these place.
Sounds good to me. Thanks for the input.
Yeah kinda my thoughts about Wayfare.....and yes I can find similar style things around here. Just seems too safe I guess is how I would put it. I have read a lot of good things about Aziza and it would add some diversity to our trip. Just want food that truly represents SF/California style food.
Thanks for the input about Sotto Mare. You're right, Perbacco and A16 should take care of my pasta fix.
Good info, Thanks.
I'm thinking of just doing Hog Island....just easier for a visitor especially considering it is in The Ferry Building which I am hitting on a Tues. Maybe have some oysters and then hit Slanted door for a couple of dishes.
I was thinking of Anchor and Hope for a pre/post Giants game pint and some snacks (on a Sunday). Are there better places near AT&T Field?
Sotto Mare was for ciopinno and maybe a seafood pasta (2 of us). I am a big fan of Italian food, I could spend a week in SF just focusing on that alone.....so many good options.
I like the idea of hitting a few different Mexican places too thanks for that idea.
The one reservation for me in question is Wayfare. I am not totally sold on it for some reason and don't really want to waste any bites in SF! Any thoughts or other recommendations?
I am coming from Alberta for five days. I have some places that I am set on. I have areservation at Wayfare but am wondering if it is truly worth it?
Other places I am going to:
Slanted Door
Hog Island
Anchor and Hope
Pizzeria Delfina
Sotto Mare
La Tacqueria
Will check it out
Thanks for the Mexican pick.
Was thinking of Swan Oyster Bar more for the local vibe.....not looking for the tourist style places. Bang for the buck Hog Island or Swan?
I am traveling to San Francisco at the beginning of June for 5 days with a friend. Two guys from Canada looking for some good eats.
A16- dinner
Anchor and Hope - before or after Giants game?
Wayfare Tavern? (alittle unsure of this one)
Slanted Door - lunch
Perbacco- dinner
Pizzareia Delfina - late Lunch
Zuni Cafe - dinner (roasted chicken?)
Hog Island- oysters/champagne and grilled cheese.
Other thoughts are: Sotto Mare for lunch?
Any ideas for good authentic Mexican food?
Thanks for any input.

French investigators have detailed the new South Atlantic search location for the cockpit and data recorders of Air France flight AF447, following the refinement of signals detected last year by a nuclear submarine.
The initial search phase following the loss of the Airbus A330 on 1 June 2009 was based on a region lying largely within, as well as to the north of, a circle of 40nm (74km) radius centred on the aircraft's last known position.
During an initial recovery phase last year the submarine Emeraude had concentrated on searching the western and southern part of this region, while the northern and eastern part - including the area viewed as the most likely crash site - was allocated to towed pinger locators, which were considered more efficient.
Although not designed to track acoustic beacons of the type fitted to the flight recorders of AF447, the submarine's detection capabilities were enhanced during this initial search, increasing from a 2,000m (6,600ft) distance, over 10-30 June, to 3,200m over 1-10 July.
The French defence ministry says that specialists have used a new algorithm to re-examine acoustic signals detected on 1 July. Following this analysis, says the ministry, these specialists have determined that the submarine's equipment could have picked up transmissions from the flight recorders.
While the ministry says that locating the recorders is "far from a certainty", French investigation agency Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses has identified a new search zone, measuring some 14nm by 6nm but located on the southwestern rim of the original 40nm circle.
This point is also some 40nm from the last known position of the A330, on a bearing approaching the opposite of its direction of travel on the Rio de Janeiro-Paris air route.
One of the vessels involved in an intensive search during April - over a primary zone to the north of the A330's last known position - is to conduct a sweep of the area. The vessel, the Seabed Worker, is supported by autonomous underwater vehicles.

(New York Daily News) - They certainly weren't drinking Gatorade.
An entire Missouri girls basketball team drank diluted urine after prankster players from a rival high school tampered with their water cooler.
Four girls from the Cassville High School basketball team urinated into cups and emptied one of the cups into visiting Monett High School's drinking water during their game on Feb. 4.
Cassville school officials apparently learned about the disgusting incident more than a month later on Tuesday, March 19, according to the Monett Times, and reported it to their Monett counterparts the following morning.
"We were informed of this incident Wednesday morning, and by Wednesday afternoon, we pulled our students on the girls' basketball team that were involved and let them know what had happened," said Monett superintendent Brad Hanson. "We also sent a letter home with the students."
Faced with outraged parents, who were concerned about possible health risks to the students, Monett Principal David Steward and athletic director Daryl Bradley urged calm and discouraged any retaliatory action.
"We are asking you, as parents, to help us work with our girls and their friends to handle this situation with professionalism and restraint," Steward and Bradley jointly wrote in the letter. "We understand that all of us in Monett are angered and frustrated by this occurrence and the amount of time before the incident came to light."
"We encourage you to support our stance that retaliation in any way stoops to the level of the offense committed against us and is counterproductive," the letter continued.
The four Cassville teens, whose names were not provided, faced unspecified disciplinary action and administrators are determining if "further discipline is warranted" for the "inappropriate act," according to KY3.
"Student discipline is a private matter that we cannot discuss," Cassville Assistant Superintendent Jill LeCompte said in a statement on March 22. "We are in communication with the other school district and are working cooperatively with them to address questions or concerns."
The girl, whose urine was dumped into the water cooler provided by Cassville High School, was being tested for communicable diseases and Monett school administrators contacted infectious disease specialists at nearby Cox South Hospital.
Monett school district officials reiterated restraint and understanding.
"We all need to remember that people make mistakes whether we're adults or 14- to 18-year-old kids," said Hanson. "We need to sit back, no matter how upset, appalled or angry we are. I'm asking for our students, coaches and community to take the high road on this and show we are the classy people we are."
The Cassville Wildcats beat the Monett Lady Cubs 37-26 on Feb. 4. Basketball season ended dismally for both teams in mid-February with the Wildcats 9-14 and Lady Cubs 1-18 in the conference.
The schools are about 20 miles apart in southwestern Missouri, near the border the state shares with Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Thousands of businesses have used Microsoft ASP.NET to build professional, dynamic websites. In this course, web developer David Gassner demonstrates the tools needed to build and deploy a dynamic site using ASP.NET 3.5 or 4.5. Covering everything from installing and configuring Visual Web Developer 2008 or Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web and SQL Server Express to creating web form pages, this course is designed to give beginning and intermediate developers hands-on experience.
Dynamic websites frequently need a user interface that allows the user modify the data in the server-side database. Data entry systems on websitea typically consist of multiple pages. A list page which displays the key columns of a particular database, table links from that list page to an insert form which allow the user to add a new record to the database table, and an update page which presents the details of a selected record and allows the user to make the changes to that data. I am going to start in this video by showing you how to use the control called the DetailsView. It's similar to a GridView in that it bounds to an SqlDataSource which in turn is making queries to a server-side database table, but it's designed to show one record at a time. I'll start with an existing website.
Go to the menu and select File > Open Web Site and select the folder DataEntry and click Open and then start with the file AuthorDetail.aspx. I'll look at the page in Design view. The page currently displays a banner and a set of hyperlinks that are a part of server- side control called Header and otherwise has just blank space. Before I use the DetailsView, I want to create an SqlDataSource that points to the particular table I want the user to edit. I'll go to the Database Explorer and if you are following along and you don't see your list of Tables just open up the Database Connection and then click the Refresh button if necessary.
You should see the list of tables there. Then I'll locate the table I want the user to be able to modify, authors, and I'll drag and drop the table and place it into the blank space in the page. When you drag the table into the page you get both the SqlDataSource at the bottom but also the GridView. I'm not going to use the GridView in this exercise. So I'll press the Delete key. That will delete the GridView and I'll be left with the SqlDataSource. Then I'll press the Enter key and that will create the paragraph above the SqlDataSource, a place where I can put my new DetailsView control.
The DetailsView can be dragged in from the Toolbox panel. I'll go to the Toolbox tab on the left. I'll move the cursor over the tab to cause the panel to slide out and then I'll click to the Pushpin icon to pin the Toolbox panel and make it possible to see both the Toolbox and the page in Design View. Now, in the Toolbox panel open up your Data category. If you are only seeing the Standard category open, close it and then click the + icon next to Data and then locate the DetailsView control. Click and drag DetailsView and drop it inside the empty paragraph. When you initially create the DetailsView it won't be bound to a data source. So with the Task list open which it should be automatically, go to Choose Data Source open the list, select SqlDataSource1. The data source that was just created and you should see the DetailsView control automatically display all of the columns from the database.
If you don't see the columns try clicking the Refresh Schema link that you will see on the Task list and then you should definitely see the controls appear. Now save your changes by pressing Ctrl+ S then go to the menu and select Debug > Start Without Debugging. By default the DetailsView will show the details of the first record in the data set. You will notice some visual problems. First of all in the left column where the labels appear, the labels are the same as the actual database column names. Just as with the GridView you need to modify these values yourself. You will also notice that the right column, which displayed the data, is word wrapping.
This is something you can also fix just through setting properties. So close the browser and we'll make those changes. First, I'm going to apply some simple visual formatting. Just as with the GridView, you can use the AutoFormat feature, which applies a set of connected properties to present a particular look and feel. Click the Smart Task icon to open the Task list and then select AutoFormat. You will see a number of formats presented, you can click through and select the one that you like. I'm going to choose this Simple format and click OK.
Now I'll save my changes and once again run the page and you will see that the formatting is presented but once again I still need to fix my headers and the word wrapping. So I'll close the browser. You can fix the Header Text either through Visual Web Developer's visual interface or in code. Just as with the GridView, if you want to do it through Visual Web Developer's interface, go to the Task list and select Edit Fields. Then in the selected Fields list click on each column that you want to modify locate the HeaderText value and update it.
I will type in Author ID. Notice that when I press the Tab key that the new values reflected in the Field list. If you prefer you can work in source code. I'll click OK to save those changes. Then I'll click anywhere on the page to clear the Task list and click the Source button. Then I'll press Alt+Shift+Enter to look at the page in Full Screen. Then I'll navigate to the BoundField List. I'll locate each of the HeaderText properties and modify it. I'll change au_lname to Last Name. I'll change au_fname. To delete the text I'm placing the cursor at the end of the string and then pressing Ctrl+Backspace.
Then I'll type in First Name and then for each of the other columns I'll just capitalize the initial character. I will run the page again and I'll show you that everything seems to be working. Now I'm going to deal with the word wrapping issue. I'll close the browser and then go into the Design View, I'll open the Task List and once again go to Edit Fields. For each column that I want to prevent from word wrapping I'll click on the column in the Selected fields list then I'll scroll down to the bottom to the Styles section.
I will go to the ItemStyle, scroll down a little bit further and then I'll change the Wrap property from True to False. And I'll do this on each of the columns that I want to prevent from wrapping. Notice that as you move through the columns the BoundField properties list doesn't scroll. This makes it very easy to go through and handle one field at a time. I will click OK and then you can also deal with the word wrapping in the labels by going into the Header Properties, but a simpler approach is simply to make the whole control a little bit wider, so that there is plenty of space for those labels. So I'll drag that out to a width of 170 pixels or thereabout, you don't have to be exact. Then I'll press Ctrl+S and Ctrl+F5 to run the page again.
Now I'm seeing that the data isn't word wrapping. If you are still seeing word wrapping in the labels, go back to Edit Fields. Go to the fields that have spaces in them, go to HeaderStyle and change the Wrap property to False. I'll only do this on the columns where the HeaderText has a space in the middle, Author ID, First Name and Last Name. I will click OK. Press Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+F5 to run and now when the DetailsView is displayed on the screen nothing is word wrapping and the labels and the data are displaying cleanly. So that's how you add a DetailsView control to a page and control its formatting and presentation.

BOSTON (AP) - The top securities regulator in Massachusetts has fined Citigroup $2 million for failing to supervise analysts who improperly disclosed confidential information about Facebook's initial public offering.
Secretary of State William Galvin announced Friday that Citi acknowledged a statement of facts in the case and agreed to permanently stop violating state securities laws.
Galvin's office said a junior analyst assigned to work on the IPO emailed two employees at a tech blog that contained confidential information, including a senior analyst's view of investment risks and positives, and revenue estimates for Facebook. The analyst was eventually fired.
Galvin says the senior analyst also gave unpublished information about YouTube revenue estimates to a reporter for a French business magazine.
A message was left for Citi for comment.

When will the Apple TV be updated? Is it worth buying an Apple TV now, or will a new Apple TV come out in 2015? And why is Apple taking so long to update the Apple TV?
We've been waiting since January 2013 for Apple to update its Apple TV, some would say 2012 (which is when it last had a significant update), so it's no surprise that there are so many rumours surrounding the new version of the Apple's set-top box. We've got release date rumours and speculation about new features that the device needs if it is to compete with the alternatives to Apple TV, especially here in the UK. We'll update this story as more Apple TV information becomes available, so be sure to check back from time to time.
Latest: Apple TV coming in September
The new Apple TV will launch in September, perhaps alongside the new iPhone.
Sources "familiar with Apple's plans" have apparently told BuzzFeed News that we can expect Apple to announce the new Apple TV in September at the traditional iPhone event.
According to the Buzzfeed report, we can "Expect a refreshed and slimmer chassis and new innards; Apple's A8 system on chip; a new remote that sources say has been "drastically improved" by a touch-pad input; an increase in on-board storage; and an improved operating system that will support Siri voice control. Crucially, the new Apple TV will debut alongside a long-awaited App Store and the software development kit developers need to populate it."
Apple's subscription internet-TV is also apparently in the works, but it won't be ready for launch in September. Instead, the Buzzfeed sources think that that will arrive: "Late this year — maybe, but more likely next year."
Latest: Patent filed for Touch ID Apple TV remote
It sounds like the remote that will ship with the new Apple TV will be able to identify you by your fingerprint, according to a report on Patently Apple.
Apple has been granted a patent for an inbuilt touch ID sensor for the Apple TV remote. The patent describes how the finger print identification could be used to grant the user access to their account, and offer personalized user profiles.
Finger print scanning arrived for the iPhone on the iPhone 5s in 2013. The Apple TV related patent was filed in January 2014.
Along with providing personalized program information, if the Apple TV becomes the hub for HomeKit devices in the home, it could be used to define the optimum setting of gadgets in the home, as preset by the user. The best bit: you'd never have to enter your Netflix password again. It will also help parents ensure that kids don't gain access to content they aren't authorized to view.
Another Apple patent has been filed with the US Patent & Trademark Office that describes a new interface for media playback of future TV streaming services from Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV and more, also according to Patently Apple.
Apple's patent application appears to describe how it will provide a new circular progress bar in the graphical user interface for controlling the playback of media, it appears that this system will be used across the media services found on the Apple TV.
Code inside the El Capitan beta also suggests Apple is planning to launch a new Bluetooth Remote Control with a Multi-Touch trackpad with, it appears, Force Touch and inertial scrolling support.
The device also appears to support audio, which could indicate either playback or input for Siri, notes 9to5Mac.
In the rest of this article we examine all the rumours that have built up over the weeks and days since Apple last updated the Apple TV...

New Apple TV 2015 release date: Apple TV launching in September
The new Apple TV will launch in September, according to BuzzFeed sources.
Apparently we can expect Apple to announce the new Apple TV in September at the traditional iPhone event, according to the Buzzfeed report.
The launch of the new Apple TV has been rumoured for some time. When Apple revealed its second quarter financial report, and during the earnings call CEO Tim Cook said a few things that convinced many that Apple was going to release a new Apple TV soon, and all eyes were on WWDC for a launch on 8 June - but the Apple TV didn't launch then. It is thought that the launch was postponed because Apple is seeking to do deals with cable companies in order to provide a subscription internet-TV.
However, according to the report, Apple's Netflix rival won't be ready for launch in September. Instead, the Buzzfeed sources think that that will arrive: "Late this year — maybe, but more likely next year."
Speaking to analysts about the Apple TV prior to WWDC, Cook said: "I think we're on the early stages of just major, major changes in media that are going to be really great for consumers and I think Apple can be part of that."
Just days later on 30 April, Apple TV shipping estimates slipped to 1-2 weeks in the US, which is often a sign that a product is about to undergo a refresh. In the UK at time of writing (1 May), Apple TV shipping times still say 1-2 business days, but we'll be keeping an eye on the dispatch estimates and will update you if anything changes.
The biggest indicator that the Apple TV would arrive at WWDC was the invite to this year's WWDC - which had a round cornered square at the 'epicentre' of the image that looks just like an Apple TV.
The words 'The epicentre of change' set inside the Apple TV shaped box also hinted that the Apple TV would be gaining a new importance in Apple's line up. Just because the Apple TV didn't launch at WWDC doesn't mean this is not the case, as you will see if you read on, there are a number of rumours that the Apple TV is set to become the centre of Apple's HomeKit set up.
The June release date had been expected for some time. In March reports suggested that Apple would be unveiling a new Apple TV at WWDC in June, and along with news about a rumoured streaming service for TV shows, it is thought that a new iTunes music streaming service may arrive as the result of Apple's Beats acquisition in 2014.
A report in March, from BuzzFeed, authored by an ex Re/Code journalist, suggested that we'd get our first glimpse at a new Apple TV during WWDC 2015.
That website claims that "sources familiar with the company's plans" have said that the new Apple TV is coming at WWDC with a software kit for developers to allow them to create new apps specifically designed for the set-top box.
That same report claims that the Apple TV will have an A8 chip powering it, with much more storage than the 8GB in the current Apple TV model. Siri will also be included, and will work closely with Homekit to act as a hub for home automation. These are all rumours that have been floating around for a while now but seem to have stuck, which history suggests means they're probably accurate. You can find out more about the hardware, specs and features rumours later in this article.
There have been many rumours that an updated Apple TV set-top box will appear this year, but not everyone expected to see it as soon as WWDC. Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster believes it will be part of the company's autumn 2015 product lineup.
In February, Munster said: "We believe that a content service could be paired with an updated Apple TV box in a fall event alongside a new iPhone or iPad. We believe that an updated Apple TV and/or content offering could be one of the core new offerings from Apple in 2015, given our belief that the phone is likely to be an 'S' upgrade cycle, and there appears to be little new on the iPad side other than a potentially larger screen."
It is thought that the reason Apple didn't launch the Apple TV at WWDC was that it wanted to make a wider announcement about a TV streaming deal and a Apple TV app Store, but the deals weren't all in place so the company decided to bide its time.

How iOS 9 hints at new Apple TV features
When Apple unveiled it's plans for iOS 9 at WWDC in June, there were a few hints at new features that we might see in the Apple TV, we examine them below.
For example, iOS 9 hints at a solution for finding the content on your Apple TV that you want to watch - in-app search. Currently if you want to watch a programme on your Apple TV but don't know whether it's on iTunes or Netflix, or even Sky Now, you have to look inside the app to search for it. In iOS 9 the new Spotlight API will allow developers to give users access to the app data in system-wide search. If this rolls out to the Apple TV you could search for the show you want to watch and see which Apple TV channel will offer it, suggests Josh Centers over on Tidbits.com.
Centers also suggests that Siri suggestions in iOS 9 might hint at more Apple TV related goodies. In iOS 9 you can swipe to see suggestions based on your habits, be they recently used apps, nearby places, or news items. On the Apple TV this could be shows you have been watching, new TV shows you might like.
The new picture in picture feature coming to the iPad is another one that Centre's thinks could make it to the Apple TV. On the iPad you can minimize the playing video, so that it continues to play in a small window while you look at something else, on the Apple TV this could allow you do watch a video while doing something else.
In additon to this, we already know that in Apple's HomeKit support documentation the company outlines how the Apple TV will be used as a gateway device. The document reads: "If you have an Apple TV (3rd generation or later) with software version 7.0 or later, you can control your HomeKit-enabled accessories when you're away from home using your iOS device. Sign into iCloud with the same Apple ID on your iOS device and Apple TV, and you'll be able to use Siri commands to remotely control your accessories. If your remote access isn't working, sign out of iCloud on your Apple TV, then sign back in."
Plus AirPlay support in Safari in El Capitan will include the ability to stream web video to your TV, which will open up many more options for watching TV via your Apple TV.
Massive 4th Gen Apple TV clue spotted on Apple's website
Apple has published a new support document about HomeKit, its new smart home platform for internet connected devices, and in that document is a massive hint that a new Apple TV is about to launch.
In a section of the document titled "Control your accessories away from home," Apple has written: "If you have an Apple TV (3rd generation or later) with software version 7.0 or later, you can control your HomeKit-enabled accessories when you're away from home using your iOS device."
For the eagle-eyed among you, you'll notice that the "3rd generation or later" comment is particularly intriguing because there is no "later" yet. We are waiting for the fourth generation to launch, and it looks like WWDC on 8 June is going to be the day.
However, there is one possibility that could mean Apple hasn't confirmed the next Apple TV after all, and that's because Apple could be referring to the 3rd Gen Rev A version of the Apple TV, which was a minor update to the third generation that launched in January 2013.
And after our excitement about the clue in Apple's support document, a new report from the New York Times says the new Apple TV was planned for launch at WWDC 2015 but has in fact been postponed because "the product was not ready to be demonstrated."
Apple TV price: how much will the new Apple TV cost?
At the Apple Watch launch event in March Apple cut the Apple TV's price, from $99 in the US to $69, and from £79 to £59 in the UK. It also announced that the HBO Now service will be available on Apple TV - but that's only in the US.
We don't know how much the new Apple TV will cost, but we expect that the new unit will have a higher price than the older unit currently on sale. Therefore, when the new Apple TV launches we think the price may actually rise back to £79 in the UK. Although there is so much competition that maybe Apple will keep it at £59.

Why hasn't Apple updated the Apple TV hardware for so long?
The last time Apple significantly updated the Apple TV hardware was three years ago in 2012. Since then dozens of set top boxes have entered the market leaving Apple behind in recent years. Why the long wait for an update?
Not only has it been ages since Apple last updated the Apple TV, there have been plenty of reports and rumours over the last years suggesting that a new Apple TV is in the works - even Steve Jobs spoke about TV to his biographer before he died, leading many to conclude that a new Apple TV would be launching soon. Years on and no new Apple TV has emerged.
There has been some evidence that a new Apple TV was in the works at Apple. For example, back in February 2014, references to what was thought to be a fourth-generation Apple TV were spotted within iOS 7 configuration files, adding evidence to the rumours that suggested a new Apple TV is on the way. The references were spotted within an Apple TV framework that relates to the AirPlay functionality of the device. The framework mentions an "AppleTV4,1" which appears to be a next generation device that follows the current Apple TV, called "AppleTV3,2" within the framework.
It certainly appeared that something was holding things up. Then back in July 2014 a report came in from The Information (subscription required) that suggested the launch of the Apple TV (which we'd believed was imminent prior to WWDC of that year in the previous month) had been delayed due to negotiations with the cable companies. The reason for the delay: problems negotiating with the cable companies in the US, including Comcast. According to The Information, TV industry executives have said that "Apple has bit off more than it could chew" in terms of its plans for the Apple TV.
Incidentally, a possible reason for the Apple TV delay might have been the fact that Comcast were to be acquired by Time Warner Cable, with the merger, finally approved on 8 October 2014. The rumour that Apple is in negotiations with Comcast/Time Warner has been circling for some time. You can read more about that deal below, as well as recent news that Comcast is claiming that it was never approached by Apple after all.
[We have the latest rumours about the Apple iCar here, plus read why we don't think Apple will make an iCar]
It may not be the cable companies that are holding things up, it may just be that Apple has been waiting for the right moment. Senior analyst and founder of Opus Research Dan Miller thinks Apple has been biding its time, waiting for the role of the TV in the home to be defined, before it updates the Apple TV hardware. He told Benzinga: "The whole battle for rights and the role of the TV and the connected home and that sort of thing is still being defined. What goes on in the home is going to be content-driven. There's no need to upgrade the hardware at this point unless things sort out."
Others just think that the Apple TV isn't a big enough deal to Apple. Analyst, Jeff Kagan, told Benzinga: "We've been talking about Apple TV for years. We thought it would have taken over the landscape for years. But it didn't. It's lost my attention. I don't really pay attention to it anymore. I don't think the customer does either. It's not a typical Apple success story."
The delay may also be because Apple has been able to reach an agreement with the networks and broadcasters that all parties are satisfied with. More on this here: Apple's plans for a streaming service and the delays due to Comcast.
Has Apple left it too late to update the Apple TV?
Apple might proudly be reporting that it has sold 20 million Apple TVs, but it has lost market share to its rivals, many of which offer better services to customers, particularly those in the UK. At least in the US, where Apple offers a good selection of channels, Apple has 17% of the market, in third place behind Roku (29%) and Chromecast (20%). But here in the UK, Apple may have been left behind by those options that include UK on demand television channels.
Apple also talks about how TV is stuck in the seventies. TV is stuck there, still tied to the schedules, but people aren't. People don't watch live TV, they watch TV via streaming services such as Netflix, or they tune into the OnDemand channels to catch up on TV shows they have missed.
People are already choosing to watch what they want when they want. The problem is that the Apple TV isn't giving them that. Sure there is a wealth of content on Netflix, but for the new TV shows, being broadcast now, you have to turn to the OnDemand offerings of those channels. And, at least in the UK, these are absent (with the exception of iPlayer, which is available, but only if you stream from your iPhone or iPad - that's a workaround, not a solution).
The Apple TV has limited appeal in the UK because Netflix is available on other devices, and Apple's own iTunes content is over priced. The company needs to move to a subscription model if the iTunes content is to have any appeal (read on for evidence that this may be happening).

Review Details
Suki Hand & Body Moisture Lotion
- Product Review (submitted on October 25, 2012):
- I love this cream. While Suki's facial products did not work wonders for me, this cream in conjunction with the body exfoliating wash really makes my back, chest, and arms feel silky smooth. Also, it has really reduced the number of blemishes and bumps I get on my back and chest from a handful to only one pimple once in a while. I would recommend this with the body exfoliating wash to all!

Kary Moss, executive director of ACLU Michigan, discusses a writing sample Thursday during a news conference on the group's "right to read" lawsuit on behalf of students at Highland Park schools. (Max Ortiz / The Detroit News)
Detroit — Comparing conditions in Highland Park schools to segregation in the Deep South in the 1930s, the ACLU of Michigan filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against the district and the state.
The group alleges both failed to ensure students are reading at grade level, as mandated by state law and the U.S. Constitution. Three-quarters of students lack basic literacy skills to meet grade level, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Mark Rosenbaum, a University of Michigan Law School professor and ACLU cooperating attorney, called the situation "severe and heartbreaking."
"The Highland Park School District leaves every child behind in its separate and oh, so unequal schools," Rosenbaum said during a press conference at the organization's Woodward Avenue headquarters.
"These children have no educational opportunities, and it's as if they were living in an impoverished Third World country."
The lawsuit was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court on behalf of eight Highland Park students. But it could have represented any number of state schools ranked in the bottom 5 percent, said Kary Moss, executive director of the ACLU of Michigan. The group looked at schools in River Rouge, Pontiac and other districts. The Highland Park schools represent the "canary in the coal mine," she said.
"Highland Park stood out because, not only the conditions, but the parents were interested in talking to us and wanted our help, (and) the test scores," she said. "And the much more fundamental issue is: How is the state dealing with these schools?
"This is not about pro- or anti-charter (schools), it's not about funding, or pro- or anti-emergency managers. It is about the right guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and laws of this state."
The lawsuit cites a "right to read" provision in Michigan law that says, in part, "A pupil who does not score satisfactorily on the 4th or 7th grade MEAP reading test shall be provided special assistance reasonably expected to enable the pupil to bring his or her reading skills to grade level within 12 months."
Moss listed the lack of textbooks, disorganized student files and buildings in need of repair, among other issues facing the district. She said state law requires districts to provide remedial help to students who are not performing at grade level.
"It's too soon to tell" whether the group will bring suits against other districts, she added.
One parent, Michelle Johnson, who has five children in the district, said she has been waiting years for her children to become proficient in reading.
"I've got an 11th-grade daughter who was too ashamed to be here today because she's reading at a third-grade level," she said. "There's a No Child Left Behind law. But she's still left behind because she can't read."
Johnson, who said she attends all the school board meetings, has approached local and state officials for help, to no avail.
"I want my children to have the same highest level of education as Gov. Rick Snyder's children have," she said
Snyder's spokeswoman said the Republican governor will not accept academic failure.
"Everything we have done, and are doing, is to ensure that the kids of Highland Park Schools get the education they need and deserve," Sara Wurfel said. "Clearly, the financial and academic problems at Highland Park schools are what led the governor to appoint an emergency manager."
Snyder named an emergency manager earlier this year to address the district's deficit, which is more than $11 million. Last month, officials announced plans to turn the district's three schools, with fewer than 1,000 students, over to a charter operator, starting this fall.
Joyce A. Parker, the district's emergency manager, said she has not had a chance to review the lawsuit. "I've only been (in the district) just over a month, so it's really difficult to comment because I wasn't involved to any extent," she said.
Highland Park school board secretary Robert Davis said he applauds the parents, students and ACLU for taking up the fight.
"Certainly (the students) deserve a quality education as much as students in West Bloomfield, Farmington or any other affluent district," he said.
Martin Ackley, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Education, said officials have not received a copy of the lawsuit so they can't comment.
The American Federation of Teachers Michigan president David Hecker said his group has been calling attention to the "unequal educational opportunities" in the district for years.
"The teachers and support staff of Highland Park are dedicated to ensuring a quality education for their students, and we call on the state of Michigan to uphold its obligation to provide high quality education to all students," he said.
Hecker said the plan to privatize the district appears to be based solely on finances, rather than education.
"There is no evidence that simply turning struggling schools over to charter management companies will enhance student learning," he said. "A bolder approach to transforming Highland Park schools would require adequate funding, collaboration and community engagement, and research-based school improvement strategies."
Bob Floden, co-director of the Education Policy Center at Michigan State University, said the low scores show the district isn't succeeding with most students.
"But what the suit asks for — quality teachers, research-based curriculum — are the strategies the state is already promoting," he said. "Doing more in these directions is sensible. The question is how to pay for it?"
Moss said the money already is being spent in the district. "What is the quality of planning going into programs?" she asked.
