On Saturday, Jan. 26 the first ever Fruitcake Extravaganza is going to take place in Sutherlands parking lot at 406 South Highway 55.
There are three events the public can participate in and the cost of admission is free.
The first competition is a hand fruitcake toss. We will be awarding a Miter Saw worth $299 to the person who can throw the fruitcake they bring with them the farthest. Here are the rules for that event.
1. The fruitcake must be uncut and unwrapped from any kind of cellophane, plastic or cardboard.
2. The person throwing the fruitcake must not use any kind of device to throw such as a paddle or a Lacrosse stick.
3. All fruitcakes must be thrown underhand; no overhand throwing.
4.Once the fruitcake has been thrown the thrower will stand next to the throwing course to mark their spot. Only one throw per person.
Next will be a fruitcake relay race. We will time the event as teams of four people run a 100 yard course each with a fruitcake on a bread board (both of which the Sun Advocate will supply for consistency) through a survival course without dropping the fruitcake on the ground. There will be no touching it with your fingers or any other body part either. Each of member of the winning four person team will be awarded an oscillating tool worth $99. Here are the rules.
1. Once the whistle to start is blown, no member of the team may touch the fruitcake in any way with their hands or other body parts. Relays must be done by sliding the fruitcake onto the next runner's breadboard.
2. The course will involve running around pylons and stepping over various obstacles while keeping the fruit cake on the bread board.
3. Runners must stay on the course or they will be disqualified. Missing any one of the obstacles also means disqualification.
4.The event will be timed. The team with the best time will be judged to be the prize winners.
5.The Sun Advocate will supply the fruitcake and breadboards for this event. You cannot use your own equipment or fancy fruitcake for this event.
Third, bring your own fruitcake art. Whatever creation you can come up with a fruitcake (or fruitcakes) as the center of an art piece. our contest team will judge. Prizes will be given for the top three pieces of art as is determined by the judges. First place will get a $50 gift card to Sutherlands, second place will get a $25 gift card and third place will get a $15 gift card.
And for those of you who just want to watch the goings on, you can also bring fruitcakes and use them to get $10 off a yearly, in-county subscription on the spot. This applies to both new subscriptions and renewals.
The extravaganza will take place between Noon and 3 p.m. If the weather is bad (we mean snow and wind, not just the cold) we will delay it until the next week on Feb. 2.

Rocky Mountain Power is improving service for its customers in central, southern and eastern Utah with new automated electric meters.
Approximately 34,000 state-of-the-art meters will be installed on homes and businesses in the areas of Price, Richfield, Milford, Delta, Cedar City, Moab, Vernal, and many surrounding communities - beginning August 22 in the Richfield and Vernal areas. The meter installations are expected to be completed by December.
The automated meters are equipped with a radio transmitter that will allow the meter to be read from a distance. Employees will no longer need to access customers' property to read their meters in most cases. The need for estimated billing also will be eliminated, ensuring consistently accurate meter reads.
As company vehicles drive through an area, the meter number and usage data will be transmitted to a receiver in the vehicles and uploaded to Rocky Mountain Power's billing system. For security, this information is encoded so it can only be read by the utility's equipment.
Automated meters have already been installed in Wasatch Front and northern Utah communities served by Rocky Mountain Power during the past several years, beginning in 2006. By the end of this year, Rocky Mountain Power will have installed more than 948,000 automated meters throughout its service areas in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
Utility Partners of America is performing the meter installations for Rocky Mountain Power and will be identified via employee badges and trucks stating "Utility Partners of America, a contractor for Rocky Mountain Power." In most cases, installers will be in an area for about two weeks.
Letters have been or will be mailed to customers to provide advance notice of their meter exchange and information about their new automated meter. Installers will also knock on customers' doors prior to exchanging their meter. It generally takes only a few minutes to replace the existing meter with a new automated meter.
There will be a brief power interruption during the meter installation.
The new meters have digital displays instead of dials, making it easier for customers to know how much electricity they are using. They will not interfere with any electronic or medical devices and will not transmit any personal information.

Update 10/2: North Sanpete High School administrators said during a meeting on Monday, Sept. 30 with other Region 12 schools, that the response time for the ambulance took 10 minutes to get to the field from the time it was called. The entire event which consisted of Carbon High player Garrett Blanc being knocked out, being checked on the field by on scene medical personnel, to the call for the ambulance and finally being transported to the hospital took about 25 minutes total.
It was just like any other play.
Two football players colliding with one trying to take the other to the ground.
But what happened after the play is making some Carbon High School coaches and administrators question the process relating to player safety.
When Carbon High School football player Garrett Blanc went in to make a tackle against a player from North Sanpete High School two weeks ago, it was a violent collision between two athletes that, while looking back felt like it happened over several minutes, unfolded over the course of just a few seconds.
However, the events that took place after the play have some questioning how things are handled in a period of heightened awareness of safety for athletes.
The play in question occurred during the second quarter of Carbon's 37-0 loss to North Sanpete. Blanc, a junior linebacker and wide receiver, went in to make a tackle of a North Sanpete running back. As he approached the running back, Blanc went in low and his helmet collided with the hip of the opposing player, knocking Garrett out, according to CHS head coach Jeff Blanc.
Garrett immediately fell to the ground as the play continued and during the final seconds of the play another player's foot collided with Garrett's helmet as he lay on the field, marking the second of two heavy blows within a matter of seconds."He was definitely knocked out from the hit," said Blanc. Blanc said Garrett opened his eyes after about 30 seconds and had dilated pupils, a sign of a possible concussion.
"Garrett slowly started to come to but we were also worried because he had a cut on his head probably from the cleat that hit him," said Blanc. "He's had a concussion before, so there was some concern that this one was worse than the first."
Medical personnel, including a doctor and an emergency medical technician from the crowd, came out on the field to check Garrett. Shortly after personnel checked out Garrett, a decision was made to call out for an ambulance.
For the next 25 minutes, the game was put on hold as Garrett was made to stay on the field until an ambulance arrived. Protocol requires that a player stay on the ground until they are fully evaluated by medical personnel.
"That was pretty disgusting to be honest," Blanc said of the long wait for the ambulance. "What if he had broken his neck out there? You've got to have things like this treated right away."
That amount of time has some including coach Jeff Blanc and other CHS administrators including CHS Principal Bruce Bean and CHS Athletic Director Ted Bianco wondering if the Utah High School Activities Association needs to review its safety policies for athletes.
Nan Ault, principal at North Sanpete High School, said the school district was unable to pay the higher fees charged by the local ambulance association over the past two years. In that period of time, no ambulance has been present at football games, Nan said.
"The cost of having the emergency personnel from our area, who work as volunteers, be at the games was too costly for the district," said Ault.
That's not an unusual situation, according to Kevin Dustin, associate director with the UHSAA. Dustin said that some school districts across the state, including in rural areas like Mount Pleasant, are unable to afford to have an ambulance on scene during football games.
"It's just not practical to do that," said Dustin. "Some schools like North Sanpete High School are in remote, rural areas and having an ambulance be there for football games is not always a possibility because of budget cuts and the availability of emergency personnel to be there."
Despite not having an ambulance at home games, Ault said there have been no other instances over the past two years where serious injuries have happened that have required additional assistance.
To help counteract that problem, Dustin said the UHSAA has schools work on having an emergency action plan in place to deal with various situations. Coaches and referees are also regularly trained on evaluating players especially during games to prevent a player from further injury, Dustin explained.
While the UHSAA emphasizes an importance on having an ambulance and emergency technicians on scene, they do not force schools or districts to do so, Dustin noted.
"The UHSAA strongly recommends that schools have the appropriate personnel on scene, but it's not something we force them to have present," he said.
The UHSAA follows guidelines from the National Federation of State High School Associations when it comes to concussions.
In the UHSAA's handbook for 2013-14, the suggested concussion management rules say than an athlete who suffers a concussion should not return on the same day that it occurred. Other guidelines say that "any athlete suspected of having a concussion should be evaluated by an appropriate health-care professional that day" and "after medical clearance the return to play (RTP) should follow a step-wise protocol with provisions for delayed RTP based upon return of any signs or symptoms".
But for people at Carbon High including Bean and Bianco, the fact that an ambulance not being present came second to the amount of time it took for Garrett to be transported to the hospital since the collision.
"In my opinion, it just took way too long for the ambulance to get there," said Bianco. "With Garrett's injury and the fact he has had a concussion before, that made the whole situation a little scary for everyone."
According to Blanc, Garrett was transported to Sanpete Valley Hospital, where he underwent tests, including a cat scan, and was ultimately diagnosed with a severe concussion.
Bianco credited the medical personnel on the scene at the game with quickly checking on Garrett's condition and making the call for an ambulance. But in all of his time as a coach and working as a referee, Bianco said he couldn't recall another time when there was no ambulance present at a varsity level football game.
"In all my time refereeing and coaching, I've always seen an ambulance there at the games," said Bianco. "But at North Sanpete, that's the first time I've never seen one at the field."
With away games, Carbon High does not travel with any medical personnel. Because of that, Carbon High, along with many teams across the state who travel to play games, depends upon the home team to provide medical personnel.
With no ambulance on site at the game, Ault said medical personnel including a medical doctor, a certified trainer and an EMT from the crowd were present at the game on Sept. 13.
Bean, who did not attend the game in Mount Pleasant, said Ault called his cell phone at halftime and explained the situation as well as checking to see if there was an update on Garrett's condition.
The situation at North Sanpete differs greatly compared to what is present at a typical Carbon High game. Bean said that physical therapists from ProRehab, medical doctors from the area and a crew of EMTs from the Carbon County Ambulance are at every home game for Carbon High. Despite Carbon High not being in a largely populated area, Bean said that the county is a huge supporter for the high school, helping to provide the off call ambulance and the crew at no cost to the school district.
"It's certainly a great luxury for us," said Bean.
Not all schools, even in places like Jordan, have ambulances parked at the football field, Dustin said. He said some schools have worked with their local ambulance services to have one close by in case a need arises for it to be called over.
The personnel on site during a home game against Grantsville on Friday, Sept. 20, were put to the test when Carbon High's Trace Johnson went down with an injury. Blanc said that Johnson complained of some neck pain as the emergency technicians evaluated him on the field. The call was made to have Johnson be placed on a body board with his neck stabilized. The ambulance was driven on to the track along the field and moments later, Johnson was placed in the back and sent to the hospital.
"Our medical people did their jobs perfectly in getting Trace the care he needed," said Blanc. Johnson suffered from whiplash-like symptoms, Blanc explained, but he did not suffer a concussion.
Blanc said that during his time as coach, he has seen players range from sitting out three to seven weeks during a season after suffering a concussion. It's no longer like the old days when a concussed player had smelling salts placed under his nose to get them back on the field quickly, Blanc said.
"I think it's a lot better now that there's a focus on the health and long term care for the players," he said.
With two boys, Blanc is no stranger to seeing injuries take place. Blanc's oldest son Jordan, a 2013 CHS graduate, suffered multiple knee injuries that required surgeries keeping him out for much of his high school football career. With Garrett suffering his second concussion in two years, Blanc said it could be a possibility that Garrett may never play football again.
"Even if Garrett was cleared to play next week, he won't be playing in another game this season," said Blanc. "He could come back next season, but we'll see how things go with that."
With the questions and concerns that resulted from Garrett's concussion and the long wait time for the ambulance to arrive, Ault said that at North Sanpete's recent game against Manti on Sept. 20, an ambulance was present at the field. An agreement was reached and an ambulance will be present for home games through the rest of the season, she said.
"We worked to change that situation and we got it fixed," said Ault. She did not say whether Garrett's injury played a large factor in the new agreement being reached.
After serving many years as a coach himself, Dustin said he can understand the fact Carbon High coaches may be upset with the situation.
"As a former coach, I just can't imagine not having an ambulance or emergency personnel at a football game," said Dustin.
Both Bianco and Bean said they were interested in bringing up the topic at meetings with fellow coaches and administrators to ensure that a similar situation does not occur
With a continued emphasis on player safety across all sports, Dustin said the education of everyone from coaches to referees to players will be a key factor in battling the problem of concussions in sports, especially in football.
"Education in player safety has come a long way," he said "and it will continue to help in the long run."

Every student of social psychology remembers studying Stanley Milgram's famous experiment. His studies shaped future thinking about authority, extreme group behavior, and morality. Many of those same psychology students, captivated by the lure of such exciting and revealing studies, would have also learned that you can no longer actually do that kind of research anymore.
The BBC recently reenacted the Milgram experiment for TV and now, the French have added their own twist. The BBC recently reported on a French TV documentary, which showed that under the guise of a game show, contestants were willing to send an electrical shock to other contestants– sometimes at dangerous levels. These types of TV "experiments" are not subject to the same ethical considerations social psychologists are. Of course, this also means they are also not subject to the same expectation of scientific rigour. It's always somewhat exciting to see confirmation (even in a highly unscientific setting) that what was shown by Milgram in the 60s may still hold true today. However, the potential harm to participants from that type of experiment justifies the ethical limitations preventing such research.
Is there a middle ground?
Some psychologists have found that they can still re-do old experiments but also reduce potential harm to their participants by moving the experiments from the physical world into a virtual world. Two researchers in France used virtual reality to re-examine Milgram's ideas. Like Milgram, they found that participants showed more obedience when they couldn't see the victim and they also found that participants felt less distress when the victim was from North Africa than when he was of their same ethnic background. Virtual reality has opened up a way for psychologists to do research on extreme behaviour, but minimize harm to participants. Perhaps both psychologists and participants can benefit from future use of virtual reality as a medium for experiments.

Norwood-Norfolk rallied to gain a regular season sweep over Division II leading OFA while Division I leading Potsdam Central remained undefeated in the NAC with a convincing win on the road over the Islanders in the only two boys hockey games slated for Friday.
N-N 2, OFA 1: This was just a good high school hockey game, said coach Paul Durant after the Icemen overcame an early deficit with a pair of third-period goals by senior A.J. Doran to claim the hard-fought decision over the Blue Devils at Dominic Zappia Arena.
Jake Garrison opened the scoring with a power play goal set up by Joe Giglio just 5:00 into the game. The lead held up until Doran one-timed a pass from behind the goal by Kyle Bent into the back of the net 2:35 into the third period. The Icemen then took the lead with 7:00 left in regulation when a backhand shot toward goal by Doran found its way home through a collision of OFA players in the crease. Troy Kovach and Tristan Harvey drew assists on the eventual game-winner.
The Blue Devils pressed for the equalizer throughout the final frame where they outshot the Icemen 11-4 but were unable to get another puck past sophomore Brandon Richards, who finished with 26 saves backstopping the win.
Brandon really stood tall for us tonight, especially in the third period, noted coach Durant. This was just a nice win for us all around.
David Prudhomme handled 28 shots working the OFA (8-4-2, 7-2-1) crease.
The Icemen (8-6-1, 6-4) are slated to host Canton next Wednesday starting at 7 p.m.
Potsdam 6, Islanders 0: In Clayton, the Sandstoners broke open a close game with three goals in less than five minutes in the second period en route to raising their NAC Division I record to 6-0 and overall mark to 10-4.
Robbie Scott got the only goal the Sandstoners would need with 7:38 left in the first period assisted by Ryan McDonald and Chad Varney. Brandon Noble and Trevor Keleher quickly added to the Potsdam total with goals just nine seconds apart five minutes into the second period. Courson Green, an eighth-grader, made it 4-0 with 4:24 left in the middle frame before Keleher closed out the scoring and completed his hattrick with back-to-back goals 17 seconds and 2:54 into the third period.
Scott finished with three assists to go along with his game-winner. Green also recorded a solo assist along with Josh Sanchez and Mark Maroney.
Senior Devin Crary made 12 saves through the first half of the game between the pipes for Potsdam before giving way to freshman Jake Crary, who turned aside the four shots he faced the rest of the way in preserving the combined shutout. Cole James had 30 stops through the first two periods for the Islanders (4-8-1, 2-8-1) while Miles Kearns posted another four in the third.
The Sandstoners return to action this afternoon when they travel to the Malone Civic Center to take on Franklin Academy starting at 1 p.m.

Last week a friend, the poet Joshua Clover, asked me to be a call in guest on his radio program at UC Davis and read Frank O'Hara's poem "The Day Lady Died," as it was exactly 50 years ago that Billie Holiday died and O'Hara wrote his famous surprise elegy for her. In his poem O'Hara links fandom to, well, death in a luminous and memorable way. When you listened to Billie Holiday "live" (a telling term), he recalls, "Everyone and I stopped breathing." Naturally this made me think of how we all heard about Michael Jackson's death, and I offered that somebody somewhere is writing "The Day Michael Jackson Died," and Clover asked why didn't I write such a poem. Maybe this is it.
I flew out of SFO on the day Michael died (and Farrah Fawcett). I loved both of them probably for the same reason, they were both striking and glamorous stars who came to us cursed as though by jealous gods. At the Virgin America terminal, Virgin had transformed Gate 12 into a disco, th... More

Fast growth, low costs, an increasingly skilled workforce and improving infrastructure have attracted many European companies to open manufacturing plants in China. However many companies doing business in China face issues with IPR infringement.
How can European Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) take advantage of the manufacturing and sales opportunities China offers while minimising the risk of infringement? What essential steps should be taken to prevent intellectual property loss? How can infringement be fought on a limited budget?
The China IPR SME Helpdesk invites you to a workshop which will tackle these questions and will cover all you need to know about China's IPR landscape. Its advantages and pitfalls will be addressed during an interactive workshop, which will provide you with the right tools to formulate the ideal IPR strategy for your business.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball kept pushing against Illinois College on Saturday in Flood Arena and the result was a losing-streak snapping 77-67 win in their first home game of 2013.
The game was close through the first five minutes, with the Bucs holding a slim 11-10 advantage at the 15:10 mark, before the Lady Blues put together a 10-2 run to jump up 20-13 at 11:40. IC had their largest lead at 26-17 with 7:30 left but a 16-0 run by Beloit pushed them in from 33-26 with just over three minutes left. Illinois College closed on the half with an 8-3 run to shrink the Buccaneers' lead to 36-34 at the break.
Beloit got their lead up to nine at 43-34 two minutes into the second half but the Lady Blues went on an 11-2 run over the next five-plus minutes to tie it up at 45-all at the 12:49 mark. The game stayed close for the next eight minutes until the Buccaneers broke away from a 60-60 tie at 4:35 with a game-closing 17-7 run to win going away.
The Bucs shot 43.6% from the field and held a 26-13 advantage at the free throw line for the game. Lauren McNanna was 14-14 from the charity stripe, including 6-6 in the deciding run at the end of the game.
Kandace Fox had 24 points to lead Beloit while McNanna finished with 22 and Lana Wieseman 16. Jenna Larsen had a game-high 12 rebounds and dished out five assists.
The Buccaneers have a few days before going on the road to play at Carroll University on Wednesday night. Game time is 5:00 p.m.

King Kullen recently launched a nutritional scoring program called NuVal at all of its stores. This scoring system scores most food items contained within the supermarket from 1-100. The higher the score, the better the nutritional value. This system makes it very easy to "trade up" to a more nutritious food item. NuVal provides tools to make nutritious trade-ups throughout the store, and can help children and their parents learn to make healthy decisions while grocery shopping.
Currently, King Kullen conducts Girl Scout Tours for many troops across Long Island. A tour focused on NuVal could be beneficial, and may also make the girls eligible for badges related to healthy living, healthy eating, nutrition, etc. Girl Scout troops are encouraged to take a tour in any King Kullen store for a tour focused on nutrition. Troops can choose their store, and King Kullen personnel will meet the troop there and conduct a customized NuVal tour.
Each Girl Scout will receive this patch.
To schedule a troop tour, please email email@example.com

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The results of this Canadian trial are similar with both NSABP B-21 and the recently published CALGB/ECOG/RTOG breast study. Though this trial was slightly larger than the other two, its unplanned subgroup analysis was inadequately powered to assess the need for radiation in the over 60, receptor positive, favorable tumor size subset. Conversely, NSABP B-21 was adequately powered to address this issue, demonstrating a 93% reduction in breast failure in the age 60-69 patient group with the addition of radiation to tamoxifen. If eradication of cancer is the primary goal, radiation plus tamoxifen remains the gold standard. The side effects of tamoxifen use over a five year period are not insignificant, as demonstrated in the ATAC trial, and perhaps radiation alone would prove preferable to tamoxifen alone in a subgroup of advanced age patients with favorable tumor characteristics. Even in the patient age group over 70, the median life expectancy includes an additional 15 years, and 5 year follow-up regarding local control in this subgroup as reported in the CALGB/ECOG/RTOG trial is inadequate.

These final promotions will leave Duquette with 19 students having obtained the high level of Black Belt under his name in the 18 years he has instructed.
These final 5 have put in a tremendous amount of time and dedication to learn Mixed Martial Arts (cage fighting) here. Some of them have 7 years in. I have taught over 4,000 students and it is not easy to make this rank at my dojo, they have definitely earned the absolute right to be called a Black Belt. Promoted to Black Belt is Todd Winch of Jay; a N.Y.S. D.O.T. employee, Jacob White of Brushton: a SUNY Potsdam student, Ross Dixson of Potsdam; a SLC Sheriffs Office Correctional Officer, Seth Filiatrault of Colton; a SUNY Canton Police Officer and Craig Brennan of Massena; a Alcoa Supervisor. 2005 World Champion and Malone Border Patrol Customs Agent Matt Mayhem Johnson of Malone also attended tonight as I wanted my very first and my very last Black Belts here for my final promotions, says Duquette; a 2010 U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee.
Its time for a new chapter in my life. Ive just recently been offered job opportunities that I simply cannot turn down and its time to move on. The long time SUNY Canton College Police Academy Director has retired and I have been hired to take over his job duties and I look forward to running that police academy from January through June annually. I retired from the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Office as a Detective Sergeant in August of last year and there is no doubt that this is a great fit for everyone as I have a lot to offer these new cadets, and having taught at the academy for the past 11 years, I know I can make a positive influence in these kids lives, I am excited to share my knowledge with these new recruits. I went 20 plus years without one personnel complaint, I want to show the new officers how to treat the public with respect and to focus on solving crimes for the people of their communities, said Duquette.
I have also been recently hired by a retired F.B.I. agent out of Syracuse who owns a Security Consultant & Private Investigation Firm called AMRIC. Its a group of retired F.B.I. Agents who hire high level retired investigators around the state to work a multitude of areas to include Fraud, Computer Forensics, Litigation, Witness Interviewing, Surveillance and working for local attorneys who have reached out to there office for assistance. For the months of July through December I will be covering Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton Counties. Due to my background as a former S.W.A.T. Team member and martial artist, they will also be using me throughout the state for armed security of their Fortune 500 clients. I am going to be real busy and I want to focus primarily on work and its time to move on,says Duquette
Its hard to walk away from all these martial arts students. It was a family atmosphere here. Many of my students went into law enforcement careers, medicine, the military; and have gone on to be tremendous individuals, pillars of their society. I am very proud. When I announced the closing of my Dojo I had so many students reach out to me and tell me how I had changed their lives, how they were going down a wrong path or how they were a low point in their lives when they came to my Dojo and how it all turned around for them, or how I gave them a chance when others wouldnt. I was dumbfounded listening to all of this as I never knew, I never suspected. Many students told me that I was a father figure in their lives and thanked me for teaching them about life and pushing them to make good decisions. This teared me up; I thought I was just teaching them martial arts, I did not realize it was that big of a impact. So with a heavy heart, I walk away, its time; my body is telling me its time. I will miss the students, but I will not miss the pain that comes with the sport of MMA. Its time for a new chapter, but these students will always be special to me, more than they will ever know. It has been a terrific ride!, said Duquette

The Justice Department and Avant Healthcare Professionals LLC have resolved allegations that the company discriminated against U.S. workers in its Internet job postings.
The government says hundreds of job postings by the Casselberry-based health care staffing company contained language impermissibly preferring foreign-trained individuals seeking permanent residence or H-1B visa sponsorship over U.S. workers.
The Immigration and Nationality Act bars employers from discriminating on the basis of citizenship or immigration status unless required by law, regulation or government contract. None of those limited exceptions applied to Avant's recruitment efforts.
Avant has agreed to pay $27,750 in civil penalties, adhere to the law's anti-discrimination protections and undergo monitoring requirements for three years.
Several years ago a Local 6 investigation revealed a trend among U.S. corporations to replace American workers by forcing them to train their foreign counterparts who were admitted to the country under special foreign visas. The series of reports indicated that the foreign workers were often offered compensation far less than the Americans they replaced. The Avant case was not a part of that original investigation.

Job hunters who are among 175 people in Jefferson and Lewis counties who lost long-term unemployment benefits at the end of December say they have applied for job after job with no luck, and they worry employers will think their resumes have become stale.
Christopher J. and Hanna M. Reggie, Carthage, have been challenged to make a living since the end of December, when Congress declined to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed.
Mr. Reggie, 24, had collected unemployment benefits since October 2012, when he was laid off from a temporary production job offered through Kelly Services at Kraft Foods Philadelphia Cream Cheese plant in Lowville. Mrs. Reggie, 22, is a homemaker raising their two sons, Aidan M., 4 months, and Christopher J., 2.
On Friday, Mr. Reggie attended a seminar at The Workplace, 1000 Coffeen St., for people who are receiving benefits from the state Department of Social Services. Mrs. Reggie, who was seated in the lobby, said the couple have relied on transportation from family members since the start of January. When the weekly $232 unemployment check to Mr. Reggie stopped arriving, it compelled the couple to rely on DSS for rental assistance at Champion Apartments in Carthage.
We havent had anything at all in January or this month, and my mother-in-law has been giving us money for gas to get around, Mrs. Reggie said.
She added that the cost of diapers bought from Walmart, at $16 a box, and baby clothes has been an extra burden.
It puts a lot of stress on us, she said. Were stressed out. We do get food stamps and WIC benefits thank God. He has a motorcycle, so once summer comes that will save us a lot of gas. And I have to use the car, because I cant stay home all the time.
Mrs. Reggie said her husband has been given advice on how to improve his resume and interviewing skills by professionals at the employment agency. He recently applied for manufacturing positions at New York Air Brake and Timeless Frames but has not been contacted for interviews. Sometimes the effort feels hopeless, Mrs. Reggie said.
Hes tried and tried and tried, and it seems like no one wants him, she said.
The cutoff in unemployment benefits came as Jefferson Countys jobless rate was among the highest in the state in December, tied for second with Hamilton County at 9.1 percent. Lewis County was the third highest at 8.9 percent.
Now, companies across the country are adopting hiring practices to address the nations long-term unemployment crisis, ensuring unemployed people arent unfairly discriminated against. Frontier Communications Corp., one of the largest employers in New York state with more than 2,400 employees, announced that it has reviewed screening procedures to ensure they dont put applicants at a disadvantage from being considered for a job based solely on their unemployment status.
Those who have been unemployed the longest have experienced greater difficulty returning to the work force during the current economic recovery, Maggie Wilderotter, company CEO, said in a release. Statistics validate that these potential workers have more experience and education than applicants who are hired quickly after losing a position. Frontier is committed to adopting and building upon best practices that will expedite the return to the workforce of those who have been unemployed for a year or more.
Stream Global Services in Watertown already makes an effort to hire long-term unemployed people, because the company receives state tax credits for doing so, said Human Resources Manager Michael J. Hill said. Applicants at Stream fill out a workers opportunity form in which they are asked to specify their annual income and whether they have received public assistance, and the company takes that into account when making hiring decisions, Mr. Hill said.
Weve always been very aggressive at hiring long-term unemployed people, he said. I know a lot of employers, when they look at a resume and see a big gap of a year or 18 months, it becomes an automatic negative. But we dont look at that.
Though New York Air Brake has not implemented a new hiring policy to benefit long-term jobless people, the company is sensitive to the fact that unemployment is high in Jefferson County, President Michael J. Hawthorne said.
I think that we have a good screening process that, regardless of your employment history, looks at your skills versus the skills we need, he said. We dont find any disfavor with long-term unemployment.
Another job seeker attending the Friday seminar at the Workplace was Alisha M. Keblin, 21. Ms. Keblin, who is seven months pregnant, had collected unemployment benefits since April of last year until they expired at the end of December. She was formerly employed as a dietary nutritional service provider at Mercy Care Center of Northern New York, but she was laid off when the facility closed last spring.
The single soon-to-be mother said she spends much of her time at the Workplace applying for jobs. But she believes her limited education has put her at a disadvantage compared with other job candidates.
I dont have my high school diploma or GED, so thats holding me back, she said. Im hoping I get a cashier job, but Im applying for everything, for fast food and retail jobs.
In the meantime, she relies on transportation from friends and lives in a two-bedroom apartment off East Main Street with a close friend. Under the temporary living arrangement, she pays her friend any disposable income that she has available to spend every month. And that payment now doesnt include the $235 in week unemployment benefits that were cut off by Congress.
Its a little frustrating, because I was making a lot of money before I lost my job, she said. I was making $900 a month, but now I get help from DSS.
At the latest, Ms. Keblin said, she hopes to find a full-time job this summer after she gives birth.
I know they take you out of work for six weeks when you have a baby, she said.
Though statistics show long-term unemployment benefits ended for a pool of 175 people in Jefferson and Lewis counties at the end of December, the Workplace has not seen a corresponding uptick in the number of people searching for jobs, said Cheryl A. Mayforth, executive director of the agency.
I was anticipating that right after the first of the year we would have been swamped with individuals who were part of the ending of the extended benefits, but we havent seen that, she said. Weve been receiving more telephone calls with people wondering when benefits are going to be renewed, and thats been kind of a shock. You would think that people would continue to be interested in any kind of leads to become employed.

So I was thinking today about various concerts I've been to, and thought it'd make an interesting topic.
The one I enjoyed the most was in 2000, only 2 bands. A new band was opening, their 1st CD wasn't even out yet, came out about a week later in fact, it was called Mer de Noms, and the band A Perfect Circle. They were opening for my favorite band, Nine Inch Nails. Absolutely brilliant show!

Triplett ProTemp 12 Infrared Thermometer
Filed under: Uncategorized
I hate to break it to you, but it looks like the Hard Way, as we know it, is about to go the way of trans fats and non-recyclable grocery bags – that is to say, waaaaaaaay out of style. At least when it comes to gauging the temperature of hot objects, that is. There will be no more hesitant outstretching of shaking hands as you wince in anticipation of singed fingertips. There will be no more blisters or reddened skin to announce to the world, "I should have known better." So sit up straight and listen up, kids – it's time to meet the Triplett ProTemp 12.
So what exactly is the ProTemp 12, anyway? Five fun words to pique your excitement: a gun-style infrared thermometer. That's right. You just pick it up, aim, pull the trigger, and get an instant and precise temperature reading on whatever the thermometer's laser pointer happens to be resting on. Pretty cool, right? When there's no need to get too close to hot engine components or pressurized pipes, that automatically means fewer burns for you.
The ProTemp 12 is perfect for use in industrial plants, boiler plants, and garages, but it's also great for cooking. Specifically, measuring the surface temps of pots and pans. This may sound crazy, but as soon as I found that out, I though of someone who could have really used one of these about 20 years ago. I grew up watching cooking shows on PBS, and mixed in somewhere amongst Julia Child, The Frugal Gourmet, and Yan Can Cook was a show called Madeleine Cooks, hosted by a petite and charming French lady by the name of Madeleine. Now, Madeleine made great stuff and I loved the show, but she did one thing that even I, a kid, considered un peu crazy (albeit extremely amusing). She tested the temperature of her pans with her knuckles. C'est dangereux, non?
I, of course, intend no offense or disrespect to the chef – I just wished she wouldn't have sacrificed her poor knuckles for perfectly cooked crepes. So this one's for you, Madeleine – may you let infrared rays do the dirty work, and enjoy life without peeling knuckles.

Ringling College and the Office of Public Safety make every effort to ensure that the Ringling College community is aware of weather warnings as they are issued. To this end we provide several links to local area broadcasting outlets and the National Hurricane Center that have the most up to the minute storm tracking reports to keep apprised of storm status.
As usual, during any storm event, all members of the Ringling College community are advised to monitor the website for any new developments on campus, such as cancellation, event schedule changes and closures.
Now would be a good time to review the Ringling College Emergency Procedures as well as your personal hurricane preparedness plan. The procedure only takes a minute to review and will help you stay informed.

GOP: Gone Fishing
The speed at which the Republican party has pivoted off an embarrassing thrashing and on to not one but two non-scandals is astounding. And shows that the GOP spin doctors are still operating at an incredibly high level of efficiency.
This grasping of straws is a sorry and thinly veiled attempt to tie the President to a wrong doing. With the end goal of impeachment, A result that would be devastating to the conservative cause in Washington and throughout the country, but more on that later.
Let's take a look at these wannabe scandals and why they have no legs. First up the Benghazi embassy attack. The claim is that the White House denied help to the embassy when it was under attack. Well besides just being a a flat out lie
"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.
is also illogical. According to the White House the only thing in the area was an unarmed drone. Fighters and AC130 gunships were purposed but seen as impractical.
The "basic principle is that you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on; without having some real-time information about what's taking place," he said during a joint question-and-answer session with Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Martin Dempsey.
To quote the movie The Siege. "The Army is a broad sword, not a scalpel." You can see videos of the kinds of damage either fighter jets or AC130 Gunships can do all over youtube. It's not exact and it's not pretty. The collateral damage would have been tremendous. That's what being the President is about. Making hard calls when both choices are absolutely fucking terrible.
The second would be the resignation of General Petraeus. The reason he had to go as head of the CIA is because you can't be in a position to become a victim of blackmail. So because of our social norms in the United States adultery is frowned on and could be used against you. Anyone that has done any security work for the government can tell you that they want to know everything about you. Up to and including you credit score. So when you work for the CIA and you get caught cheating on your wife you've gotta go plain and simple.
So with these two non-issues the Right is looking to discredit and ultimately impeach the president for some yet to be discovered wrong doing. But the question you have to ask is. Is that what you really want? Do you want a disgraced Obama that hands the keys over to a President Biden with nothing to lose? If you don't like the President then you are gonna hate Biden. Say goodbye to the "grand bargain", and bullying of the President that Obama allows (Which I can't stand by the way) to keep the peace. And say hello to an unleashed pit bull that finally gets the keys to the car. Let it go neocon's, let it go.

FORT DRUM A total of 56 employees at the posts Guthrie Ambulatory Health Care Clinic about 10 percent of the facilitys workers quit or retired from their jobs as the post dealt with militarywide furloughs.
The departures occurred from early March, when furloughs first were discussed locally, to Aug. 23, when workers returned to a full schedule after six weeks of furloughs. The facility has about 500 employees.
It has stressed our resources, but we are fulfilling our mission in full, Col. Stanley F. Gould, deputy commander for the posts clinical services, said in a statement issued Friday morning.
Capt. Rebecca S. Newton, spokeswoman for the posts Medical Department Activity, or MEDDAC, said Friday that she could not specify the roles the departing employees were in, but confirmed they were a mix of civilian employees and contractors.
Loren J. Zeilnhofer, vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 400, said medical employees have worked hard despite the fiscal challenges around them.
These guys are really hurting for resources, and I gotta say these guys are just tired, he said. Everybodys trying their hardest. Sometimes you just burn out.
Medical employee losses across the military were reported Wednesday by USA Today.
Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, the Armys surgeon general, told the paper that approximately one in 20 of her workers quit in connection with the furloughs, or about 2,700 out of 42,000 civilian health employees. The papers report noted that the Air Force and Navy also had employee departures linked to the furloughs. The lost workers served in a variety of roles, including clinicians, scientists, researchers, administrators and other specialties.
Gen. Horoho said she linked the exodus to the instability that furloughs created for the current fiscal year, along with the looming uncertainty about what will happen in the next fiscal year, which starts in October.
As a part of the ongoing sequestration, the Pentagon will have to cut up to $54 billion from current spending totals for the 2014 budget year.
Gen. Horoho also told the newspaper that many of the exiting workers moved to the Department of Veterans Affairs, which did not face the same budget cuts the service branches faced.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
An alleged burglary ring was busted up last week by Helper law enforcement officers with the assistance of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office and the Sandy city police.
On Jan. 3, an auto burglary was reported on Roosevelt Street. When Helper police officers investigated the complaint, they determined that a stereo, speakers and other property was missing from the vehicle.
A week later, a burglary was reported in a nearby home. Officer Lynn Archuleta received information indicating some people knew the owners would not be at the residence at the time of the incident.
The Helper city police officer subsequently located several suspects in connection with the burglary.
Arrested and booked into the Carbon County Jail on third degree felony theft and class A misdemeanor vehicle burglary charges along with class A miscellaneous crimes were 19-year-old Triston Glines, 18-year-old Carlos Manzanares and 18-year-old Donald Burge Jr.
During the interrogation, it reportedly came out that a fourth person may have been involved in the incidents and he resided in Sandy, indicated Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis.
At first, the Helper officers tried to contact the suspect in Sandy by telephone, but the effort failed.
The initial criminal investigation continued and the evidence resulted in the Helper police securing a search warrant for the suspect's home.
On Jan. 2, the search warrant was executed at 8:40 a.m., confirmed Zamantakis. No one was at home at the time, but law enforcement officers from the three departments reportedly located several of the missing items in the suspect's residence.
Immediately after the Helper and Carbon County officers returned to the local area, the law enforcement authorities were notified that Sandy police had arrested and detained the suspect, 20-year-old Zeke Martinez.
Sandy city police officers brought Martinez to Spanish Fork, where Helper law enforcement personnel accepted custody and transported the suspect back to the county jail.
"This whole thing was a real team effort," said Zamantakis. "We sent three officers, Carbon County sent three officers and Sandy helped with six officers at the home in their city. The cooperation between the agencies was wonderful."
At press time, law enforcement authorities had not located all of the items listed as missing in connection with the incidents.
Zamantakis anticipates further investigation will be conducted to see if the items can be returned.

|Study Start Date:
|January 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2017
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
SVG + eSVS Mesh vs Control SVG
Either the Circumflex Coronary Artery or the Right Coronary Artery will receive the mesh supported vein graft and the native saphenous vein as second and control graft.
Device: eSVS Mesh
Patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease who require SVG CABG of the Right Coronary Artery and the Circumflex Artery due to atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease will serve as their own control. They will be randomized to either an SVG+eSVS Mesh to the RCA and an SVG to the Cx or an SVG to the RCA and an SVG+eSVS Mesh to the Cx.
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
This Study will enroll up to 100 patients total. Patients will be enrolled upon meeting certain inclusion criteria, including GSV duplex-sonography results and consent. They will be enrolled based on their clinically indicated requirement for coronary artery bypass grafting with use of their saphenous vein graft. The study will be prospective, randomized repeated measure controlled trial based on the patient's ability to receive both control and eSVS Mesh treatment. Graft patency, MACCE at 6 and 24 months after meshed and non meshed GSV graft implantation will be measured and the findings and qualification of GSV in preoperative duplex sonography will be compared with intraoperative findings while GSV harvesting in order to evaluate the safety of the eSVS mesh and the role of preoperative GSV duplex sonography.

20 hours??? That doesn't pass the smell test. I thought it was 14 hours one semester and 15 hours the next semester. Does anyone else recall someone saying that at PSD?
I wish it was August 20th or something. I'm dying to start!

By Aldo Panessidi
Valentine's Day is one of the most awaited days for couples to celebrate their love and express affection for one another.
What if you haven't met your perfect match or that special someone... then, Valentine's becomes Single Awareness Day.
Since the lovers among us are going be... shall we say somewhat engaged in amorous activities - I have prepared the following the Top 10 Valentine's Day Ideas for Singles:
- Give Yourself a Gift: Nothing can lift the spirits like a gift of mobile accessories. Let the latest trend setting fashionable accessories express your unique style! Discover an extensive array of award-wining cases and skins that deliver modern style, stunning design and smart protection for your cell phones, tablets, iPods, MacBooks and other mobile devices. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
- Express love and Gratitude for dear ones: Why not gift something to Parents, Grandparents or anyone else who are special to you? Say you love them with a selection of top quality, innovative mobile devices protective solutions and premium electronic accessories from the industry's most leading brands .
- Pamper yourself at a Spa: There is a saying that you need to love yourself first be able to love others. Spend the day by pampering yourself at a Spa. Get a massage, a facial, pedicure, hair cut or even a makeover and feel special and pampered!
- Party at Home: Are there other Single friends you normally hang out with or good friends whom you have not met for some time? You can organize a Singles Party at Home and have a blast with likeminded friends.
- Go out with friends: Organize your single friends and go out together for movie, play, concert, clubbing, beach or anywhere you all can have fun together.
- Do a Service: There are many people who are not as privileged as we are and it is our moral responsibility to do something for them. Why not visit an orphanage or old age home and spend time with the inmates there? You can also do things like adopting a Pet or getting involved in a good cause. Giving gifts and roses to old or sick people can be a wonderful way to express our gratitude to God for all the blessings we have in our lives.
- Eat out at your Favourite Restaurant: Go to your favourite restaurant with your other single friends or alone and eat whatever you like.
- Go out on a Road Trip: Is there a special place you have wanted to go? Plan a Trip alone or with friends visiting the place. Or you can explore an unknown territory on your vehicle. It could be anywhere - a temple, a picnic spot, tourist destination or anywhere you can reach within a few hours and also return back on the same day.
- Get Adventurous: Are you adventurous? Do you like Sky diving, rappelling, camping, Bungee jumping, parasailing or things of that sort? Go ahead and enjoy an adventure with friends or alone.
- Do things you love: Are there things you love to do or are passionate about but normally do not get the time to do it? Is there a new hobby which you are interested in? Do it or get started on the Valentine's Day.
Whether you are a Single by choice or single and searching, you can make your day special by indulging in some of the ideas given above. There is nothing to be depressed about being a single. I have tons of friends who are single and happy than many of the married couples I know. Still, if you are Single and frustrated on a Valentine's Day because you do not have a mate, I would advise you to stay positive and take good care of your health and physical appearance. Who knows by next Valentine's Day you may not remain a Single anymore.

SOUND TIGERS — Aiming for First Place This Weekend
Last week the Sound Tigers reeled off three wins with a combined score of 13-7. They beat Norfolk last Wednesday in an 11am game, which is the annual school field trip game attended by many area schools. Over the weekend, they beat Manchester on the road and won a Sunday matinee against the rival CT Whale. All of that makes this weekend's three games in three nights (tonight @ Wilkes-Barre, Sat vs. Manchester, Sun @ Providence) a real shot at ending up atop the division by Monday morning.
The Sound Tigers currently sit in second, two behind Springfield and four ahead of Adirondack, with an 8-3 record. It's happened for a lot of reasons; there's not really one part of the team that's carrying them. They're getting solid goaltending from both Kevin Poulin and Anders Nillson, the defense is playing well, and there are the two first round picks in Brock Nelson and Nino Niederreiter, who each have a 7-6-13 line and lead the team in scoring.
Nelson's emergence in his first professional year is excellent news. The Islanders moved up in the 2010 draft to the very end of the first round to grab Nelson, and it's still very early but it seems as though that is already paying off. He's scored a goal in each game thus far in November continuing the offensive prowess he showed at North Dakota and, as LHH writes in a recent profile, has been given lots of special teams time indicative of someone who isn't just a point producer:
While Nelson is second among AHL rookies in scoring, what may be most impressive in his short time in Bridgeport is Nelson's work on the defensive end.
Sound Tigers Head Coach Scott Pellerin has praised Nelson's two-way play, along with his ability to be put in all kinds of situations. Nelson has seen considerable time on the power play and penalty kill this season, at times single handedly eating up chunks of clock with his strong puck possession.
For Niederreiter, it's a bit of a different story after what was a frustrating NHL season in 2011-12. In the AHL, it's a level that's better suited for someone who is — let's all reminds ourselves — only 20 years old. He's now in a spot where he's one of the most, if not the most, important part of the team's offense. Instead of an NHL fourth line, it's an AHL first line playing against players that are his peers and it seems to have made all the difference. He's also been able to avoid injuries, after missing training camp last year with a groin issue and a Mark Fistric delivered concussion. It's a good start and hopefully a direction that both he and Nelson can continue in.
One of the early season mysteries was Anders Nilsson's, uh, disappearance with an undisclosed injury. After missing the first couple weeks, Nilsson started two games for the Sound Tigers this week (Manchester and Connecticut) and seems to be just fine. He currently is 2-for-2 in wins with five goals against and 48 saves (.906 sv pct).
Other wounded players include David Ullstrom and Casey Cizikas, with the latter sidelined for the second time this year. Mike Fornabaio reports that Ullstrom should be available for tonight's game in Wilkes-Barre, after suffering a 'lower-body injury' on November 3rd. Cizikas didn't skate yesterday but could be ready to go this weekend. He left Sunday's game with a super-secret 'undisclosed injury.'

A real life story of 'The Canadians'Share Tweet
As Canadians we always make the most of any situation, and usually like to mark the occasion by sharing a beer. This couldn't be truer for one of our beer drinkers, Jacob Johnson. Here's his story:
My name is Jacob Johnson, and this is my story of how me and 3 of my good friends took an adventure through the many different landscapes of Peru for 2 weeks only to finish at the top of Mountain Machu Picchu where we each enjoyed one of the most satisfying, thirst quenching and rewarding Molson Canadian beers we have, and may ever have in our lifetimes.
It all started in St. Catharines, Ontario where myself and my 3 pals Andrew, Allan and Aaron were having a few beers at Aaron's house while packing for our trip to Peru. We were all anxiously awaiting to depart to the airport and were ready to have one last 'cheers' before our taxi arrived. It was then that we realized that this will be the last Canadian beer we will have for 2 weeks, since there definitely wouldn't be any in Peru.
We realized that this 2 week adventure we were about to embark on is going to be very challenging and exhausting as we trek through the Amazon jungle, desert plains and finally the Andes mountains to finish at the peak of Machu Picchu to explore the ruins of the ancient Inca city.
So we each managed to shove one tallboy can each into our already extremely heavy, probably over-packed backpacks just before the taxi arrived. We each lost a lot of gear and personal items along the way. However, those 4 Molson Canadians made it in our bags undented, unscratched and fully in-tact through the vibrant capital city of Lima, the Nazca Desert, the Amazon Jungle and the 5-day Inca trail hike through the Andes mountains to Machu Picchu.
It was at the peak of Machu Picchu where the 4 Canadian friends from Toronto (much to every surrounding tourists' surprise) each removed from our bags, those same 4 Molson Canadians that we had packed 2 weeks ago…

I once responded in a topix thread on evolution and ended my statement with "Praise the all powerful Flying Spaghetti Monster." Then I received a reply from a poster
"Does the spaghetti monster stick to the wall when he is done???
There is rumor circulating that Pontius Pilate in years of ole, order that the Flying Spaghetti Monster to be thrown into the Failing wall of Jerusalem by trickery of a colander mystic. Then the henchmen including Chef Boy Ardee laid a trap for the all mighty FSM. The all knowing and mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster knowing of this trap sent his fledgling noodle son, who was still undercook in the Gas Clouds of the Stringy Universe, flew down to save the Intelligent Design-less humankind, and the son knowing and willingly fell into the colander trap of Pontius Pilate and Chef Boy Ardee. Thus the Undercook Noodles of the Son of FSM was placed into a Roman catapult and was launched into the Failing Wall, the sacrificial son SMACK with all his noodles appendage into the Failing Wall. The Noodles mass did not STICK but dropped to the ground and all men gasps when a loud voice boomed from above, the Nebulous form of the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared, the voice trembled with strength and purpose, "I send my only Noodles Son to show the world that by Intelligent Design, I am not done because all mankind is not perfect and afflicted with many design flaws, so remember me thru my son of Noodles that when your back disc degenerates, eyes failed, knees go bad, joints ache, colon problems, acid reflux, migraines, bad teeth, chemical imbalance, and all other asundery body design defects that you must repent and suffered for the sin of Noodle-ness Appendage Envy!†Blessed all who are touched by his Noodles Appendage!
Mythbusters will never attempt to test the theory whether the Flying Spaghetti Monster will stick or not against a wall. Why, due to many infinite noodles appendage of the FSM, they are afraid that the Superstring Theory with 13 dimensions of pasta flavors would unravel the universe, creating Big Bangs of waving membranes who we know are his holiness Spaghetti sacred noodles, ending the world as we know it. Food for thought! So passed the Noodles I say! Oh, forgive me great divine FSM!

Springfield preparing students for school closures
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- The Springfield School Board voted this week to close six schools over the next two years.
Now the school district is focusing on how to help students make the transition to new schools.
Tuesday night the Springfield School Board voted to close Mohawk, Goshen and Camp Creek Elementary schools along with Springfield Middle School will close this year. Brattain and Moffitt Elementary schools will close in 2012.
Board members also voted to turn Walterville into a K- 5 school and send its 6th, 7th and 8th grade students to Thurston Middle School starting this fall.
Springfield School Districts Spokesman Jeff DeFranco said the board's decisions to close schools were based on a $10 million budget gap, declining student enrollment and aging facilities.
"These school board members I think have acted with the highest level of integrity they did a very thorough analysis, they listened to the community they asked a lot of questions. In the end they made a very tough decision," said DeFanco.
DeFranco said the district staff will start assembling transitions teams and parent advisory groups to help come up with the best plan to transition kids to their new schools. The district also plans to hold mixers and student orientations to get kids acclimated to their new surroundings.
Wednesday letters were sent out to parents informing them about the closures. But DeFranco said the district also wants parents and students to give them input and ideas to help kids move forward.
"If parents are positive about the transition experience and are supportive and engaged with their students during the transition experience, those students will be successful next year in their new school," said DeFranco.

A Brief History of the Flying Car
The hands-down winner in the gee-whiz category is the Akoya, a light sport airplane by French manufacturer Lisa Airplanes. With an engine mounted high atop the tail, finlike hydrofoils, and retractable gear that combines ski and wheel, the Akoya can take off and land on three types of surface: land, water, and snow.
The air show happened to coincide with the 115th birthday of Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying one of the most gorgeous aircraft ever produced, the Lockheed Model 10 Electra. Peter Ramm spent five years refurbishing this spectacular Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, an offshoot of the Earhart plane.

One Air Force pilot wasn't going to let being thousands of miles away from his brother's wedding stop him from being a part of the ceremony.
So he made a video of his wedding speech.
Brandon Krivohlavy posted the video on YouTube after playing it at his wedding ceremony in Austin, Texas.
His brother--deployed in Afghanistan--made the video using note cards to display his speech while he spoke it. He said he wished them both the best, hopes to see them more, and his parting words?
"Go nuts together."
"Everyone in the room was either crying or completely speechless. It was a very moving moment for everyone there," Krivohlavy said on Reddit.
