North American Herb & Spice: Amaz-a-Power Press Release
Buffalo Grove, IL -
North American Herb and Spice (NAHS)
introduces a new product -
Amaz-a-Power Peruvian Berries and Fruit
- to their vast array of 150 natural whole food supplements to date. This is the raw, organic wild blend of natural food extracts from remotely grown maracuya (passion fruit), aguaje, camu camu, aguaymanto, honey and yacon root. These fruit and berries originate and are harvested from the wild Amazon forests and remote Andes Mountains.
This powerful blend was carefully chosen for its abundant healthful properties including antioxidants, vitamin C and micronutrients. The maracuya contains phytochemicals, carotenoids and polyphenols and is used by the Peruvian people as a traditional medicine for a variety of ailments. Aguaje is an excellent source of natural vitamin C and vitamin A. Camu camu is a fruit which contains whole-food bioflavonoids, anthocyanins and other essential co-factors. The people of the Amazon have used the aguaymanto for many centuries because of its rich concentrations of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins A, B and C. Raw wild honey is believed to have antiseptic properties and aid in the functions of the digestive tract. The yacon root is a sweet tuberous root with high amounts of inulin which can deliver carbohydrates without elevating blood sugar levels. It contains large reserves of potassium as well as calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorous.
Amaz-a-Power Peruvian Berries and Fruit is a natural whole food extract and can be taken in drops below the tongue or added to tea, juice and smoothies. North American Herb and Spice is committed to making people's lives better with real food, wild spices and wild herbs. The company's line of over 150 natural whole food supplements is prepared with unadulterating extraction methods to guarantee the purest, highest quality, mineral and nutrient dense products possible. NAHS is dedicated to consumer education and awareness, and is proud to support ecological conservation by employing preservation programs to prevent over harvesting. Sales of Amaz-a-Power Peruvian Berries and Fruit will help efforts to promote a sustainable, ecologically responsible agricultural industry within the Amazon Rainforest.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
A move to take disciplinary action against an employee initiated by the management at Co-Op coal mine in Emery County resulted in the walkout of a number of workers from the facility last Monday.
"We had an incident that occurred with one of the employees," confirmed Charles Rey-nolds, personnel manager for C.W. Mining Company. "It was necessary for us to take disciplinary action."
According to Reynolds, some of the Co-Op workers walked off the job after the mining company decided to take the disciplinary action.
"It's been a couple of days since they walked off," noted Reynolds last Wednesday afternoon. "After three days off the job, we assume someone who leaves and doesn't contact us has quit their job."
Reynolds identified the employee the company planned to discipline as William Estrada. The personnel manager claimed Estrada purportedly failed to complete a job he was supposed to perform.
Reynolds said work was still proceeding at the mine and all shifts were operating, albeit a little shorthanded. The personnel manager was not sure how many miners had walked off the property.
But the workers, including Estrada, who gathered in Washington Park for a rally on Wednesday expressed different viewpoints regarding the matter.
"We wanted a meeting with management over this problem and some others when we went down to the office after we had heard what was happening with Billy," pointed out Allison Ken-nedy, a mine worker from Price. "They refused to meet with us and told us to go home. They even brought in the Emery County sheriff to back them up."
The company reportedly told all of the employees who walked off the job that they were fired, according to Kennedy.
But the company gave a different take on the situation.
"Estrada was the only one of the group that was fired," stated Reynolds.
Estrada indicated that he felt the company was trying to coerce him into signing a letter that stated he was not doing his job.
"They told me if I didn't sign it, it would be considered insubordination," said Estrada while standing with other Co-Op employees at the Price park. "They suspended me for three days and then wouldn't give me a copy of the letter."
The number of miners who left the job site is in dispute. The company maintains that not many workers walked off. But employees maintain that the disruption began on the day shift. Then employees from other shifts voted to not work as well.
At the rally in the Price park, more than 60 people showed up on Wednesday morning.
Workers attending the gathering said there is more to the situation than the firing of Estrada. Working conditions, pay, unclear directions by supervisors and safety problems are also among the complaints the employees cited.
The workers at the rally also voiced concerns about a "company union" that purportedly exists at the mine.
"The workers have a union," stated Reynolds. "The International Association of United Mine Workers did not authorize the walkout."
The workers, however, contended that the company started the union and all the officers of the organization are bosses in the mine.
"Only a few workers belong to the union," noted Kennedy. "They have begun calling the bosses there 'lead men' so that they fit into the union membership."
Workers maintain that most of the employees at the mine are paid minimum wage or slightly more and union dues are $16 per month or $8 per check.
"Very few workers belong to the union," said Estrada.
The workers contended that unclear directions often get workers in trouble at the Co-Op mine.
In one incident cited by attendees at the rally, a worker was apparently ordered to do something by a boss and then was purportedly threatened with the loss of his job for doing it.
In addition, the workers claimed that there are problems at the mine and safety concerns were part of the reason for the walkout.
"One of the problems I saw is that the mine gets its water supply from an area of the mine that is caved in," said Kennedy. "They sent some workers in there to work on something and most of them cleared out because they could see how dangerous it was."
On Monday morning, the Sun Advocate left a message at the district office of MSHA in Colorado regarding the mine's safety record, but the call was not returned by press time.
In the area of inappropriate work and unclear direction, one of the workers at the rally also cited the case of a miner who was allegedly ordered to inspect a coal seam face by a supervisor.
The supervisor was supposed to complete the inspection and the worker was purportedly suspended for doing the job, despite the fact he acted under the foreman's order.
The rally in the park was set up by the United Mine Workers of America.
"A lot of these workers don't understand English," pointed out Jim Stevens of the UMWA, who was in attendance at the rally. "Some have their citizenship papers, while others are not documented."
"In recent days the mine has been going to some of the individual miners and trying to hire them back," indicated Stevens.
Reynolds said the workers who left have not contacted the union in place at the mine.
"The union here is not sure what is going on," contended the company's personnel director. "Some of these people were refusing in the past to work with the mines union employees."
Last weekend, some Co-Op workers went door to door in Emery County in an attempt to gain support for the walkout.
Supported by the UMWA, the miners passed out a flyer with 15 points explaining the employees' perspective about the relationship that has existed between the company and the workers.

Two years ago around this time, we wrote about a campaign that attempted to allay anxiety over tax season by focusing on the brighter side of taxes: "Jackson Hewitt's How You Do It," which emphasized the joy of receiving the coveted refund check. This year, tax-prep software brand TurboTax is similarly looking at the silver lining of tax season by positioning it as a chance to take pride in one's accomplishments of the past year.
Commercials in the campaign, dubbed "It's Amazing What You're Capable Of," each highlight a life event that impacts taxes, like getting married, buying a house or having a child. The spots then lightheartedly describe how exciting these milestones are. Taxes are just "a recap. The story of your year. And that's why we make the tools we make," explains the spot "The Year of the You." The voiceover goes on: "That's why we do everything we do. Because we think you should be the one to tell that story." Viewers are not likely to see tax prep in an entirely new light, but the commercials are a nice way to prompt them to feel a little more positive about the process.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Since changes were implemented to the way Emergency Medical Service providers care for cardiac arrest patients, EMTs in Portland have seen a significant increase in survival rate.
The Portland Fire Department meets with their medical director, Dr. Matthew Sholl every month to look over some of the toughest calls they've faced, including cardiac arrest calls. The goal is to learn from and improve on their response time.
The new protocol tells first responders to leave a patient right where they are and immediately perform CPR. If after 20 minutes, the patient still does not have a regular heart beat, they leave the patient there and call either the medical examiner's office or a funeral home; no more transporting to a hospital.
Dr. Sholl says they've learned over the years that immediate and effective chest compressions are the most effective way of restarting a heart and moving a patient will only hurt them more.
Technology is also on the side of the Portland Fire Department's rescue crews. Each ambulance has a mobile monitor that hooks up to a patient during CPR that tells the EMT how effective each compression is - so no time is wasted.
The main reason for adjusting the protocol was that in the event of cardiac arrest, every second counts. Dr. Sholl says it's vital for any bystanders to immediately start CPR. For more information on the proper way to give chest compressions, click here.

Rick Krompel is one busy man and the shopping district along east Main is looking much better because of his efforts.
In just the past three months he has expanded CJ's Do It Center with an enlarged lumber yard, he tore down the old building next to Greenwell Inn's Convention Center and expanded the parking lot. Just this past month an artist created a large Greenwell logo on the motel building, creating an impressive setting for the facility.
Now Krompel is down the street clearing the lot that has housed Cellular One on the corner of Airport Road and East Main, just next to Wal-Mart.
Last weekend he tore down the old building on the far east of the lot and by December he is planning on opening a new mini mall at the location. The outside walls consist of special fabricated Indian pictograph panels.
The new mall will house Cellular One and Napa Auto Parts with an additional 7,000 square feet open for other tenants that he hopes to lease to soon.
Besides CJ's Do It Center and the Greenwell Inn, Krompel also owns Ricardos Restaurant along with his construction company.

HURRICANE IRENE INFORMATION UPDATE 8 - Final Update
1:00 P.M., Monday, August 29, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
This will be the final update related to Tropical Storm Irene.
The City of Montpelier escaped serious damage from Irene. Despite the heavy rains and high river levels, flooding impact was no worse than the May flood. The early warning and advanced preparation allowed both businesses and the City government to mitigate losses effectively.
Downtown Montpelier is open for business today. Most, if not all, shops are open, virtually all roads are open. It's a beautiful day and people are out and about.
The Winooski river crested at 19.05 feet at around 10:00 PM last night. This was the highest river level since 1927 when it hit an unthinkable 27 feet. Nonetheless, there was no discernible difference in flooding from the May event.
The city did not ever sustain high winds of the hurricane or tropical storm level. As a result, there were no downed trees or power lines and we did not experience any power outages.
The volume of rain was substantial but did not fall with the same force as May. Therefore we have no major road washouts or closed roads. Gallison Hill Road was closed yesterday but is expected to be reopened today.
There is a lot of river mud and silt in the downtown, particularly in the State Street and Bailey Avenue area. This will be cleaned up today, in the meantime please exercise caution if driving through it as it can be quite slippery.
The city has no reports of any permanent residential relocation or loss of housing. All people who were evacuated and temporarily sheltered are back in their homes.
Many downtown buildings have flooded cellars. Those are being pumped out and the basements evaluated for safety.
People interested in volunteering to assist with clean up can contact Montpelier Alive at 223-9604. At this time its not clear what services might be needed but they will be happy to take your name and contact information.
There never was any issue with Green Mountain Power and the discharge of the Marshfield dam. As stated in earlier reports, GMP was in constant contact with the city and never did discharge any water from the dam.
Generally, all public infrastructure – water, sewer, roads etc. – is open and operating without problem. Montpelier is very fortunate compared to some of our fellow Vermont communities.
I'd like to thank community members and business owners for their cooperation and diligence. I thank GMTA for their assistance in transporting people to the shelter in Barre, the Keene, NH, swift water rescue team for their presence and Green Mountain Power for working closely with the city. I thank all the citizens who followed these updates and offered comments and asked questions. Finally, I thank all of the incredibly dedicated Montpelier city employees who worked around the clock all weekend to keep everything functioning and safe.
HURRICANE IRENE INFORMATION UPDATE 7 - Things Are Stabilizing
12:00 A.M., Monday, August 29, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Things are in a bit of a holding pattern. The River reached a peak of 19.05 feet and has receded back to 18.8 feet at this time. This does not necessarily mean that it has crested although that is possible. We are expecting to be hit with the backlash of the storm which might mean another inch of rain over the next couple of hours. That will impact the river level.
I just completed a tour of the flooded areas. There does not appear to be much additional flooding from what has been previously reported. Overall we do not expect conditions to get worse. Water will slowly begin receding into the morning.
One correction from an earlier report – Elm Street is closed from School to Spring but is open from State to School. All other road closings are as reported.
As of this time, Green Mountain Power has not yet released water from the Marshfield dam although we understand that they may need to do so soon. It takes six hours for the water to travel from Marshfield to Montpelier so, under any circumstances, water from the dam would arrive well after the rivers have crested.
Barring any unexpected situation, this will be the last report until morning.
HURRICANE IRENE INFORMATION UPDATE 6 - Flooding Has Begun
9:00 P.M., Sunday, August 28, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Things are progressing almost exactly as predicted at 5:30. The National Weather Service continues to project cresting of 20 feet by 2 AM. This will put water over all downtown streets although it is difficult to project exactly how deep it will get.
Flooding is apparent in many areas throughout downtown. Right now the flooding pattern is very similar to the May flood. State Street is closed from Taylor Street on. The Bailey Avenue bridge is completely blocked by water on both sides. Montpelier High School is inaccessible. 60 State Street parking lot is full of water. Elm Street is closed between State and Spring and under a lot of water. The Dog River Recreation Field is completely submerged. The river level is still rising.
Rain has eased up, winds are expected to increase. There have been no power outages reported and the wastewater treatment plant has continued to function properly.
Flood water is not safe. Do not walk, wade, swim or otherwise go into the water. It is filled with contaminents, silt and other unhealthy substances. I just came back from touring the city and was taken aback by how many people, included young people accompanied by parents, were walking in the flood waters. It is dangerous. Stay out.
Similarly, roads are barricaded for safety reasons. I observed many drivers going around barricades simply because they either wanted to look more closely or go somewhere that was closed off. These roads are closed for your protection. We do not wish to use police resources enforcing this but will if necessary.
HURRICANE IRENE INFORMATION UPDATE 5 - Major Flooding Now Expected
5:30 P.M., Sunday, August 28, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Conditions continue to worsen drastically. The National Weather Service just informed city officials that a 2 AM to 4 AM crest of 18 feet is very likely and could rise as high as 20 feet. This represents major flooding in the downtown area. The May flood, in comparison, crested at 17.5 feet.
Lower State Street is now closed and is covered with water. Low lying areas are starting to take on water. Evacuation orders are being issued for lower State Street and 87-89 Elm St. People will be temporarily located at City Hall until they can be safely transported to the Barre Auditorium.
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of staying off the roads. There are far too many people driving out there. A major emergency is on the horizon in Montpelier and is already occurring in other communities in the region.
5:00 P.M., Sunday, August 28, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Conditions have worsened since the last update. Montpelier is up to 4 inches of rain already with 1-2 inches more to come. Rain is expected to remain heavy for the next one to two hours and then taper off very quickly. High winds will continue for 3-4 hours after the rain stops.
Flooding in the Winooski is a virtual certainty. National Weather Service projections now range as high as 18 feet which exceeds the May levels. Other projections put as at about the same level as May.
The river is currently at 11 feet which is called action stage. If they haven't already, basements will begin flooding at any time. We expect to reach flood stage in the next 2 hours with the crest occurring between 2 AM and 4 AM. Water is likely to remain above flood stage until mid day on Monday.
Gallison Hill Road is now closed at the section where the culvert washed out in May. Some signs of washout and culvert failures are showing on North Park Drive, Terrace Street and Taplin Street. In general, storm drain systems are beginning to be overwhelmed and backing up city wide.
With increasing washouts and drain backups, vehicular travel is getting more unsafe. Please stay off of the roads. We have observed much more traffic than we would expect in severe storm conditions.
2:41 P.M., Sunday, August 28, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Most recent information from National Weather Service is that Irene, now classified as a Tropical Storm, will likely track directly over Central Vermont. Current forecast is for rain to continue until 7:00 PM. There may be one additional burst of very heavy rain between now and then. High winds are expected to continue until 10 PM. Total rainfall is projected at about 4 inches, less than originally forecast.
Current modeling shows the Winooski River reaching the 15 foot flood stage between 7 PM and 8 PM, cresting at approximately 17 feet at around 2 AM on Monday and falling back below flood stage by noon on Monday. National Weather Service will update the river modeling based on actual rainfall information. As a comparison, the river crested at 17.59 feet during the May flood.
Gallison Hill Road is being evaluated for likely closure. All other roads are open, no trees are down and no power outages are reported.
Governor Shumlin announced that non-essential state employees should report to work at 10 AM on Monday and that status will be updated by the State at 7:30 AM. State employees in the Capital Complex in Montpelier today are being asked to evacuate the area now.
All residential evacuation notices have been delivered.
12:22 P.M., Sunday, August 28, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
The City of Montpelier Incident Command Center and Emergency Operations Center opened at 8:00 AM. Precautionary evacuation notices have been served for Lower State Street and are in the process of being served in the Elm Street area.
The City has been notified by National Weather Service that the Winooski River is projected to exceed flood stage at some point after midnight. This forecast has not changed.
All residents and businesses are urged to take all flood precautions including clearing basements, turning off power and evacuating if necessary. It will be much easier and safer to do this now during daylight before the worst of the storm hits and before flooding has actually started.
The following is from the National Weather Service:
At this point, it looks like the projected forecast we have had the last couple of days is unfolding as planned (which is both good and bad news). So it's time to buckle up and get ready for today's bumpy ride.
Irene just made landfall near NYC --- and it will accelerate northeast across western CT, western MA and up the Connecticut River Valley by this evening. By Monday morning it will be long gone.
Rain has already overspread all but the Saint Lawrence Valley. Rainfall rates have been averaging up to 1/2" per hour, and totals in far southern Vermont are already over 2 inches. Looking at observations farther south, there has been a large area of rainfall amounts on the order of 5 to 7 inches, so our forecast appears to be on track. Lesser amounts will fall across the Saint Lawrence Valley.
The only slight modifications to the forecast have been to shift the heavy rain slightly west, so even the eastern side of the Adirondacks (Clinton, Essex counties) will get in the heavy rainfall.
The rain will be coming to an end late this evening across far southern Vermont, and a little after midnight across northern Vermont & NY.
We expect flash flooding problems to occur just about anywhere in Vermont and in eastern portions of NY -- the main threat times would be from early afternoon through the evening hours.
No major changes to the river forecasts as well. Most rivers in Vermont will begin rising rapidly late this afternoon and evening -- and peaking into the moderate to major flood stage levels Monday morning.
With the updates to increase rainfall across Clinton & Essex counties, we will be getting new river forecast guidance later this morning -- but I would anticipate that this may result in additional rivers in that area going into flood tonight as well.
Looking farther ahead -- although rivers will fall below flood stage by late Monday, flows will remain high for several days. With expected sunny/dry weather, we will all need to get the message out that the rivers and streams are still dangerous.
Observations from locations from the Hudson Valley southward do indeed show a large area where winds are gusting near 50 mph. We still expect these winds to spread north over the next few hours -- with the strongest winds generally occurring from mid-afternoon through late evening. At that time we anticipate frequent wind gusts over 50mph, with maximum gusts over 60 mph across Lake Champlain -- the higher elevations and eastern sections of Vermont. Winds will initially be comgin from the northeast and turning north and eventually northwest by late evening as Irene moves by.
We expect Flash Flood Warnings to be issued across much of the area by early this afternoon, which would likely continue into the early overnight hours. River Flood warnings would probably be needed by this evening and continue through Monday.
8:30 P.M., Saturday, August 27, 2011
William J. Fraser, Montpelier City Manager
Hurricane Irene poses a significant threat to Montpelier. We expect flooding conditions similar to those experienced in May. Other dangers include high winds, power outages, washed out roads, downed power lines and trees and similar major storm damage.
Residents and businesses should assume flood conditions. People should NOT wait further notice from the City or State about imminent flooding. Basements prone to flooding should be emptied of merchandise or other valuable material. Given that it is not winter, furnaces and electrical service in basements should be turned off if possible.
Residents in flood prone areas, such as those evacuated in May, should consider relocating to for the next 48-72 hours. The regional Red Cross emergency shelter will be located at the Barre Auditorium however people are also urged to stay with friends and families before emergency evacuation becomes necessary. Montpelier City Hall and Berlin Elementary School will serve as interim locations (no food or sleeping accommodations) until people can be safely transported to Barre. Please note that, in the May flood, several routes between Barre and Montpelier were flooded or obstructed. Consider going to the shelter or elsewhere before the situation grows dangerous.
This emergency is occurring simultaneously from North Carolina to Maine. As such, regional safety resources will be stretched to the limit. Each community will be providing services with minimal to no assistance from federal, state or neighboring local governments. The City of Montpelier will be focusing on basic life safety and high priority responses. The City will not be able to provide general assistance such as pumping basements,tree removal or washout repair.
The storm is expected to hit on Sunday morning with the most rain and highest winds occurring between noon and midnight. Rivers are expected to reach flood stage by 3:00 AM on Monday morning. Citizens are urged to be in a safe place by noon on Sunday and to remain in that place until Monday. Driving will be extremely hazardous due to water on the road, live electrical wires, obstructions such as tree limbs and gravel and unexpected washouts. Please stay home.
To report information such as downed trees or washed out roads, please call City Hall at 223-9500, 223-9502 or 223-9504. Please do not call 9-1-1 unless you have a bona fide life safety emergency.
The City will have an emergency response team in place beginning on Sunday morning through the conclusion of any hurricane and flooding conditions. The City does not, however, have the resources to respond to all situations at all times. Please make your own preparations and take responsibility for your own safety.
Other information:
Do not drive into pooled water on the road. There could be a current and your car can stall.
Do not enter a basement filled with water. It could contain oil and other hazardous material, it could also be energized with live electricity.
Please conserve water use. The city expects to be able to provide continual water supply. However it is possible that the sewer treatment plant could flood. It is important to minimize the amount of water flowing to the sewer plant.
The 60 State Street parking lot will be closed on Sunday morning. All vehicles will be removed from that lot. That is the lowest spot in downtown and extremely vulnerable to flooding.
Empty sand bags are available at the DPW garage on Dog River Road. People will be responsible for filling the bags themselves. Sand bags should be used to divert running water, they are not effective barriers for preventing water from entering buildings.
Vermont Emergency Management will be providing general storm information. Montpelier specific information will be regularly posted on the City website, facebook page and twitter account and also shared with media outlets. Radio Station WDEV (96.1 FM, 550 AM) is providing 24 hour storm coverage. If power is lost, tune into WDEV with a battery powered radio to get storm updates. The City will update WDEV as necessary.
The City of Montpelier has officially issued the preceding statement related to Hurricane Irene.
This statement is based upon information received from the National Weather Service and Vermont Emergency Management as well as the emergency response strategy developed by the City of Montpelier.
Hurricane Preparation Update
3:00 P.M., Saturday, August 27, 2011
Regional centers are being established for shelter and assistance since this storm will affect the entire state. The regional shelter in our area is the Barre Auditorium, and the Red Cross will be setting up facilities there for people to stay. If immediate shelter is needed in Montpelier, we will use City Hall until transportation can be arranged to the Barre shelter. Please keep in mind that if the downtown is flooded, you may not have access to City Hall - we will be sending regular updates.
In the event of any evacuation, Montpelier Police and Fire Department personnel will conduct the evacuations as needed after we have made public announcements.
DPW does have sandbags (empty, 10 to 20 per person) that are available to Montpelier property owners. However, any individuals requesting them will be responsible for filling and transporting them. They are to be used for redirecting moving water from flash flooding threats that can damage property.
At this point, we are preparing for the worst and continue to hope that Mother Nature will spare us the force of the storm.
Hurricane Storm Warning
1:21 P.M., Friday, August 26,2011
Predicted river levels could reach those that caused flooding in May. Early predicated water levels pose a significant threat and we are urging all residents and businesses to plan accordingly. Current timeframe of flooding would be Sunday night to Monday morning.
Information about Hurricane Irene:
Vermont Emergency Management:
At this time there are no active shelters, residents should Shelter in Place or make arrangements before the storm arrives.
FEMA Plan for Emergencies:
Hurricanes and tropical storm can bring flooding, flash floods and high winds. Extensive damage to tree and utility lines could cause considerable disruption to power and services.
Flash flood prone areas of the City may benefit from the early placement of sandbags to divert water.
State emergency management recommends all residents take the following storm precautions:
Prepare a disaster supply kit with emergency supplies (including but not limited to):
Flashlight with extra batteries;
Portable, battery-operated radio with extra batteries;
First Aid Kit and manual;
Emergency food and water supplies for three days;
Non-electric can opener;
Essential medicines for at least seven days;
Cash and credit cards;
Loose objects in your yard, such as toys and lawn furniture, need to be secured.
Check that all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.
Speak with neighbors about their emergency plans, and how you can help each other during a crisis.
Conserve water before the storm to reduce and burden on the system.
Stay away from floodwaters. The water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or sewage. The water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines
Do not drive into flooded areas.
Plan for extended periods of power outages.
Life safety is the priority of the City Of Montpelier and its employees.

This month will see ILEAP engaged heavily in East Africa, with a joint event with EABC and partners on 20-22 March to engage the private sector on the trade in services agenda under the Common Market Protocol, and notably with respect to labour mobility. This will be followed on 25 March with targeted training, delivered on behalf of GIZ, for the EAC Technical Working Group on Trade in Services.
As part of the preparation of possible trade in services negotiations under Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between West Africa (WA) and the European Union (EU), a Technical Working Group on services (TWG) was established by the ECOWAS Commission in March 2011 (supported by ILEAP). The TWG – composed of regional services experts – aims to support the region's negotiators in the preparation of the technical aspects of the inclusion of services in the EPA. It held its first meeting in Cotonou on 18- 21 April 2011, with a follow-up in Lomé on 21- 23 June 2011.
In February 2013, ILEAP followed up on a previous intervention to assist the DRC and the Ministry of Economy and Trade in particular to review various discussions on-going in different regional fora in the area of trade in services - including SADC and COMESA. Enhanced participation was sought notably for private sector actors, to assist in strengthening their understanding of the potential commitments and implications being considered. ILEAP also assisted the Ministry in developing a more robust national road map concerning trade in services negotiations.
ILEAP was invited to participate in a week-long series of meetings and workshops in the context of the SADC Protocol on Trade in Services. ILEAP also facilitated a full-day session with the private sector, aimed at arriving at concrete recommendations to strengthen private sector engagement in SADC services negotiations (both in the near-term and over the longer-term). The meeting also sought to raise awareness amongst both public and private sector officials about the concept of 'services coalitions' and the potential menu of interventions or activities that could be envisaged.
While there are many factors to consider in the development of an internationally competitive services sector, this paper highlights one of the key, far reaching factors for the private sector – the establishment of a national (and/or regional) coalition of service industries. It helps to demonstrate that the type of service coalitions evolving in developing countries offer an innovative channel to address a range of institutional and practical challenges to micro and small developing country services firms and as such, to unlocking the potential of the services sector to foster inclusive growth, sustainable development and ultimately poverty reduction.
Services affect growth and development through various pathways. They create incomes and employment, help the investment climate, contribute to consumer welfare and promote economic diversification. Services development and trade in services are being affected by capacity, regulatory and external constraints. Although the examined five sub-Saharan African Regional Economic Communities all address regional integration in services, investment and migration to varying degrees, there are mixed results with respect to the actual implementation of agreed provisions. While unique in many ways, there are some elements of commonality in the challenges and constraints being faced. There is a case to be made for supporting a continent-wide approach to promoting service sector development, regional services integration and services liberalization in Africa. This could include providing the AUC with a mandate and resources to monitor and facilitate on-going regional services integration efforts, with a view to establishing an African internal market for services. Interventions could be envisaged at the political and substantive levels.
Under the auspices of the African Union, this meeting convened representatives of Africa's RECs, alongside representatives from the private sector and international institutions to discuss the establishment of a platform for the RECs (and other relevant stakeholders) to share experiences on regional services integration, liberalization and sector development. Participants also deliberated on possibilities for continent-wide approaches, including the potential role for the African Union Commission and its partners.
ILEAP has been working with the government of Cote d'Ivoire to assist in better understanding the domestic regulatory environment in select sectors. National stakeholders recently convened again in Abidjan to review ILEAP sectoral studies in legal, accounting and telecommunication services, as well as to discuss in more detail the role of services negotiations and the private sector to support service sector development.
This event convened experts and policy makers from national governments, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), the private sector and other non state actors throughout sub-Sahara Africa to discuss efforts and approaches for positioning services reforms and negotiations for development. The workshop helped to facilitate an enhanced understanding on the linkages between services reforms, negotiations, and sector development, while promoting greater coherence in the use of services negotiations and integration as a tool for service sector policy development.

Just got off the phone with East Providence native Davey Lopes, a solid baseball man as any you'll come across. After a 10-minute discussion about the merits of free agent outfielders Jayson Werth and Carl Crawford, I asked Lopes if he sees himself coaching next year. Earlier this month the Phillies announced that Lopes would not be returning as the club's first base coach in 2011.
"I think if you wait a day or two you'll get that answer," said Lopes, a hearty laugh following the response that seems to suggest the La Salle Academy graduate is close to landing a job.
The question is where?
Lopes makes his offseason home in San Diego, and reports indicate that the 65-year-old prefers to take a job on the West Coast. Last month the Padres named Red Sox hero Dave Roberts as the team's first base coach and the rest of Bud Black's staff seems set.
The Lopes-to-the-Dodgers rumor has been bandied about, which on paper makes the most sense. Lopes played for the Dodgers from 1972-81 after getting drafted in the second round in 1968. He is a Dodger thick and through, winning a World Series in 1981 while twice leading the National League in stolen bases (1975-76).
Los Angeles is in the process of transitioning from Joe Torre to Don Mattingly as its manager, which as expected has led to a shakeup of the coaching staff. Mariano Duncan, last year's first base coach for the Dodgers, doesn't seem likely to return next season. Ditto for Larry Bowa, the Dodgers' third base coach. The Los Angeles Times reported that Mattingly wanted Bowa to be his bench coach, but that general manager Ned Colletti "wanted to go in a different direction." Former Kansas City manager Trey Hillman ended up getting the job.
Perhaps the re-entry of Lopes into the Dodger family would help lesson the sting of watching the Giants bask in the glow of their recent World Series title. In a week where we've seen two ex-Phillies in Ryne Sandberg and Juan Samuel return to where it started – Sandberg as the manager of Triple-A Lehigh Valley while Samuel was named the third base coach – it just makes sense for Lopes to return to where his pro career first took flight.
For more on Lopes and his take on Crawford and Worth, see Friday's Pawtucket Times.

Substance and Alcohol Abuse Prevention and Program Policy
Claremont McKenna College is committed to providing a safe, healthy and productive environment for all students and employees. The purpose of this policy is to communicate the College's concern and desire to provide an efficient and effective campus environment and to articulate its intent to comply with all appropriate federal, state and local regulations regarding illicit use of drugs and the abuse of alcohol in the workplace.
This policy shall apply to all students, faculty and staff of Claremont McKenna College either on the CMC campus or its offsite locations, or as any part of its activities. In addition, employees shall not use or abuse illegal substances that impair performance of assigned tasks.
The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 requires that, as a condition of receiving funds or any other form of financial assistance under any Federal program, an institution of higher education must certify that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol by students and employees. The Federal regulations require annual notification to each employee and student that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of illicit drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
Claremont McKenna College seeks to maintain a work and educational environment that is safe for our employees and students and conducive to hard work and high educational standards. The College intends to comply with the Drug Free Workplace Act and other regulations regarding drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace.
As a condition of employment, all employees of Claremont McKenna College (this includes faculty, staff and student employees) are required to comply with this policy.
An employee who is convicted (including a plea of nolo contendere (no contest) of a criminal drug statue violation occurring in the workplace must, within five (5) days after the conviction, notify CMC of such conviction by informing the director of personnel, the dean of the faculty or the director of financial aid.
Members of the Claremont McKenna College community are expected to act lawfully with respect to the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Consumption of alcohol by individuals under 21 is prohibited.
Persons who are not employees of the college, but who perform work at the college for its benefit (such as contractors and their employees, temporary employees provided by agencies, visitors engaged in joint projects, etc.) are required to comply with this policy. Violation of this policy by such persons is likely to result in their being barred from the workplace even for a first offense.
Health Risks
All drugs are toxic or poisonous when abused. Health risks of drug abuse include but are not limited to sleep disorders, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, deep depression, malnutrition, liver and kidney damage, cardiac irregularities, hepatitis, and neurological damage.
Alcohol is a depressant. It depresses the central nervous system and can cause serious physical damage. Excessive drinking damages the liver, resulting in cirrhosis; chronic alcohol abuse also causes hypertension, cardiac irregularities, ulcers, pancreatitis, kidney disease, cancer of the esophagus, liver, bladder or lungs; memory loss, tremors, malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies and possibly sexual dysfunction.
Abuse of alcohol or drugs during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects, spontaneous abortion and still births.
Local, State and Federal Legal Sanctions
Local, State and Federal laws establish severe penalties for unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. These sanctions, upon conviction, may range from a fine to life imprisonment. In the case of possession and distribution of illegal drugs, these sanctions could include the seizure and summary forfeiture of property, including vehicles. It is especially important to know that recent Federal laws have increased the penalties for illegally distributing drugs to include life imprisonment and fines in excess of $1,000,000.
The denial of Federal benefits, such as student loans and grants up to one year for the first offense, up to five years for second and subsequent offenses.
Examples of the law include:
- Unlawful possession of any controlled substance is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison.
- The purchase, possession, or consumption of any alcoholic beverages (including beer and wine) by any person under the age of 21 is prohibited.
- It is not permissible to sell or give alcohol to an intoxicated person regardless of age.
- It is unlawful for a person under the age of 21 to present fraudulent identification for the purpose of purchasing alcohol.
- Selling, either directly or indirectly, any alcoholic beverages except under the authority of a California Alcoholic Beverage Control License is prohibited. This includes selling glasses, mixes, ice, or tickets for admission.
- Possession of an alcoholic beverage in an open container in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle is unlawful, regardless of who is driving or whether one is intoxicated.
- Driving a motor vehicle or bicycle while under the influence of alcohol is unlawful.
A description of state and local laws is available in the Dean of Students office. California State Laws are also available at the Honnold/Mudd Library in the annual publication of West Annotated California Codes. A copy of the Federal Register, Vol. 55, No. 159 with the rules and regulations included in the Drug Free School and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 may obtained from the Director of Personnel or the Dean of Students.
Assistance for Alcohol Abuse and/or Drug Abuse Problems
Claremont McKenna College is committed to education and counseling as the primary focus of its substance abuse program and will provide confidential, professional assistance for any students who want it.

The Human Genome Project: a new reality
In June 1985, as dusk encroached on the second millennium, meetings aimed at outlining the practical task of sequencing the human genome began at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The scientific and technological conditions of the 1980s had become a catalyst for these discussions. DNA cloning and Fred Sanger's sequencing methods, developed in the mid- to late 1970s, were being exploited by scientists who felt that sequencing the human genome seemed possible at an experimental level. Crucially, researchers were, at the same time, beginning to apply computing solutions to genetics and DNA sequencing, developing methods that would make feasible the task of generating and handling genetic data globally.
This grand, new concept - a "Human Genome Project" - had strong supporters, who argued that deciphering the human genome would lead to new understanding and benefits for human health as well as and determined detractors, who feared such a project would provide a product that would bear little explanatory power for humans - perhaps merely a meaningless string of letters. Even before the Human Genome Project began in earnest, some commentators feared that this project had "engendered a controversy... that involves personalities and politics." [2]
The personalities, the politics and the controversy were only just emerging.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
The Human Genome Project launched in 1990, through funding from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Energy, whose labs joined with international collaborators and resolved to sequence 95% of the DNA in human cells in just 15 years. Meanwhile in the UK, John Sulston and his colleagues at the MRC's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, had, for several years, been working at mapping the genome of the nematode worm and had resolved that sequencing the entire genome of the worm was finally feasible.
As the Human Genome Project was progressing in the US, in the UK the MRC approached the Wellcome Trust suggesting they form a new partnership to fund John's proposed worm sequencing, as a pilot for the Human Genome Project. From here things soon snowballed: the Wellcome Trust suggested that a much larger sequencing effort, to bolster the Human Genome Project should be embarked upon in the UK and appointed one of their senior administrators, Michael Morgan, to look into the viability of such a sequencing initiative. Eventually, in 1992, John Sulston submitted a grant application for an enormous £40-50 million to fund a new centre - the Sanger Centre - which was to form the British arm of the Human Genome Project's sequencing efforts.
In 1993 - with funding from the Wellcome Trust and MRC - the Sanger Centre was officially opened. One scientist recalls being struck by the scale of the task that lay ahead, on arriving at the Institute in 1993 Simon Gregory reflects: "it was just a huge lab, a huge empty lab, with boxes and boxes of equipment. It was all very exciting."
By the end of that year 87 scientists were working at the Sanger Centre, under the leadership of John Sulston, beginning to map and sequence the human genome.
The global sequencing effort
To sequence the human genome as accurately as possible, researchers developed the 'hierarchical shotgun' method. Researchers agreed that this was the best way to achieve the Human Genome Project's target of 95% coverage of the human genome by 2005.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
The first challenge was to create a map of the human genome - a set of index marks on the genome code, used to position the sequences of letters of code that would come later.
Researchers essentially broke many copies of the genome into fragments, each around 150,000 letters of code (or base-pairs) long. They inserted the fragments into a bacterial artificial chromosome that could be grown in E. coli bacteria which divided, thereby replicating the DNA samples to create a stable resource - a 'library' of DNA clones. Where the cloned fragments came from or which overlapped was not known at this point.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
Using special enzymes, researchers could cut the individual clones into diagnostic 'fingerprint' of fragments defined by each clone's sequence. They could then search among millions of fingerprints for shared fragments that would reveal overlaps among the clones. Researchers then assembled the clones into longer contiguous regions and mapped these onto the human chromosomes. The result: a physical human genome map that would be crucial for the sequencing efforts.
To generate sequence of the individual bases that make up the genome, scientists needed to break the cloned fragments into smaller, more manageable, chunks, each around 1000 to 2000 base-pairs long. Researchers sequenced these fragments of human DNA using the shotgun method developed by Fred Sanger and his colleagues a dozen years before. Much as in mapping, researchers used overlaps, this time in the letters of genetic code itself, to reassemble the short stretches of determined sequence. Assembling the sequence from many short segments of sequence was a hugely intense compute task that depended on emerging technology and software to succeed.
Gradually labs around the world began producing DNA sequence. By 1994, the Sanger Institute had produced its first 100,000 bases of human DNA sequence. Remarkably, researchers at the Institute had already produced ten times that amount from the nematode worm genome. The worm project was a trailblazer- its methods, practices, collaborations and ethos would be integral to the development the social mores that would later lead to the successful completion of the Human Genome Project.
As the human sequence data was pouring out from centres across the globe, researchers were afforded glimpses of the kind of power that the human genome sequence might have for medical advance. In 1995, researchers from the Sanger Centre, with international collaborators, located the BRCA2 gene, associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Elsewhere, as early as 1993, a US team had located the MSH2 gene, which increases the risk of colon cancer for carriers. In Canada, researchers found five variants on the FAD gene, which together confer an almost 100 per cent risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Sharing the data
In 1996, representatives from sequencing centres around the world met in Bermuda to establish a set of principles for the release of data generated by the project. The meeting was initiated by Michael Morgan, the Wellcome Trust administrator who had been integral in the establishment of the Sanger Institute as the UK sequencing effort. The delegates agreed a set of Bermuda principles [3], which outlined that useful data should be made available prior to publication as part of a greater aim to distribute data and speed progress to maximize the public benefits of the Human Genome Project. In a move that stood biology on its head, the scientists agreed to share their results before they had had a chance to publish their findings in a scientific journal.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
Sharing in the Wellcome Trust's determination that the principles of publically and freely available data would be crucial as the Human Genome Project continued, Michael Morgan worked beyond that initial meeting in Bermuda to ensure that the commitments made were adhered to globally.
John Sulston was one of the champions of this ethos: he and Bob Waterston first began to develop a system of data sharing when they worked together on the nematode worm sequencing project. Described by Mike Dexter - the then Director of the Wellcome Trust - as "a torch bearer for the social conscience in science" [4], John maintained a stern resolve that researchers had a moral obligation to make their results freely available. The Sanger Institute and other sequencing centres agreed: every evening, sequencing centres either side of the Atlantic would make the results produced that day freely available on the internet.
Data sharing, arguably not an instinctive practice for scientists, has - since the Human Genome Project - remained a resolute part of research practice at the Sanger Institute and other centres worldwide. The adoption of free release and data sharing has been among the major achievements of the Human Genome Project and will arguably prove as influential as the sequencing outputs themselves.
Around the time of the draft human genome publication in 2001, Mike Dexter, the then Director of the Wellcome Trust, reflected that "after our large-scale investment in the Human Genome Project, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the public resources are fully utilised, in order to deliver the health benefits that will undoubtedly flow from the use of this information." [5]
Throughout the Human Genome Project, the Wellcome Trust had maintained these principles with an open-access publication policy to match its data release policy in ensuring that the research it funds can be accessed, read and built upon, thereby fostering a richer research culture.
A private effort launches
1998, a new, private venture was launched to sequence the human genome. The enterprise - named Celera Genomics - aimed to create its own database of human genomic data, which users would be able to subscribe to for a fee. They aimed to patent 300 clinically important genes, and it was reported that they held, at one point, 6500 applications on human genes[6,7]. The public consortium became still more resolute that the Human Genome Project goals would be met and that the shared human heritage - our genome sequence - would be freely and completely available, that access would not be fettered by subscription. The Sanger Centre received a funding boost from the Wellcome Trust and upped its projected contribution to one-third of the sequence.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
History may well reflect that the two projects were engaged in a race toward completion. Those involved would likely reject such accounts. Jane Rogers, who project managed the Sanger Centre's Human Genome Project contribution, reflected afterwards that "it has not been a race, but a battle to ensure that the tools to speed biomedical research were available to all." [8] It was a quest to ensure the widest benefit worldwide for today and for the future: a successful quest that some have misinterpreted as the race to get to a finish line for glory. For the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, it was never a race to a finish line.
John Sulston warned that "If global capitalism gets complete control of the human genome, that is very bad news indeed." [9] Craig Venter, the head of Celera Genomics, attributed the unease among the participants of the Human Genome Project to scientific rivalry. The politics and personalities were in danger of detracting from the task at hand.
Talks aimed at consolidating the two projects, to bring more rapid public health benefits, were initiated in 1999, but broke down over concerns that Celera sought a ownership of the our shared code for human life. Martin Bobrow, a representative for the Human Genome Project and a then Governor of the Wellcome Trust announced: "Unfortunately, Celera's requirements seemed to amount to them establishing an effective monopoly over the human genome."
Each effort employed hundreds of sequencing machines - Celera reportedly had 300 of the latest machines [10] - to produce the raw results that would generate a human genome. Each effort worked day and night to complete a draft genome.
The draft human genome of 2000
On 26 June 2000 came two announcements - the public and private enterprises had completed their respective draft genome sequences. The UK's Prime Minister, Tony Blair in London, was linked live to President Bill Clinton as he described how "the effort to decipher the human genome...will be the scientific breakthrough of the century - perhaps of all time," maintaining that "we have a profound responsibility to ensure that the life-saving benefits of any cutting-edge research are available to all human beings." [11]
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
The researchers involved in the Human Genome Project had sequenced the order of bases in each chromosomal region four or five times. However, what remained was to improve the depth of coverage. The sequence had achieved broad whole genome coverage: but the sequence was was by no means complete. As Sulston and others said, the "current human genome information marks just the "end of the beginning", not a completion of the task." [12]
In 2001, each effort published an account of its draft human genome sequence: Celera's effort appeared in Science, and the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium's effort was published in Nature.
Celera's methodology was criticised: the company suggested that they had generated their sequence using Fred Sanger's "whole genome shotgun" method, skipping the mapping phase of the process. Critics argued that such an assembly would be impossible at the time without the Human Genome Project's data.
A year later, Venter stepped down as President of Celera, as the company cut its genomic research, "making room for additional senior level management experienced in pharmaceutical discovery and development" [13]. The genome sequence was freely and publically available.
Despite the fact that there was still much hard work to be done, John Sulston was convinced of the transforming power that the sequence would have. "Over the decades and centuries to come this sequence will inform all of medicine, all of biology, and will lead us to a total understanding of not only human beings but all of life," he said. "Life is a unity, and by understanding one part you understand another."
After the draft genome was announced, John Sulston stepped down as Director of the Sanger Institute, handing over to his successor, Allan Bradley. Much remained to be done to take the Human Genome Project to completion and John continued to work on the Sanger Centre's contribution until the announcement of the gold-standard sequence, as well as working on the last few sequences of his beloved worm. Allan Bradley took over with enthusiasm, looking to the future and developing new ways in which the Institute could contribute to genetic science in what he described as a new "postgenomic era".
Completion? The gold standard sequence of 2003
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
In 2003, two years ahead of schedule, with contributions from countless scientists from 20 institutions across the globe, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium announced that they had completed the gold-standard reference human genome, according to the guidelines of the original Human Genome Project, with 99.99% accuracy.
The sequence provided an invaluable resource for researchers. Launched in 2000, the Ensembl genome browser, co-run by the Sanger Institute and its neighbour, the European Bioinformatics Institute, was by this time receiving approximately 600,000 hits a week from researchers in over 120 countries looking to make use of the freely available genetic resources it provided.
This database system was secured and strengthened by the Human Genome Project's policies and continues to be an invaluable tool that not only allows open access to the fruits of the Human Genome Project and other sequencing projects, but also facilitates continual updating, annotation and comparison of sequences from numerous genomes, in a way that would be simply not have been possible in a privatised structure.
A year later, the publication of the gold standard sequence appeared in Nature, where the authors commented that the Human Genome Project "provides an essential foundation for the sequencing and analysis of additional large genomes."[14]
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
Scientists embarking on new sequencing projects would soon turn to the sequence as a reference for their work. It was a working example of scientific progress, its very existence as a reference, allowed scientists to develop new, faster, cheaper and more effective sequencing methods for their projects.
The finished sequence revealed a code over 3 billion letters long. Astonishingly the final sequence was found to contain only 25,000 genes - a quarter of the number originally suspected. The worldwide effort quickly turned to establishing what these genes and their code - the "book of life" - would mean for human health and disease.
Determined that the medical fruits of that "book of life" would be shared equally, irrespective of wealth or nationality, the Wellcome Trust extended its funding for the Sanger Institute and other biomedical projects around the world to work on developing genetic knowledge of some of the most devastating and human diseases: from cancer to malaria; from heart disease to typhoid.
Are we nearly there yet?
The "Human Genome Project" was officially complete in 2003 - researchers had sequenced the genome to 99.99% accuracy, two years ahead of schedule and under budget. But the "human genome project" without capitals - the project to understand the genetic nature of ourselves - is still a long way from completion. Some parts of the human genome have, to this day, refused to reveal themselves to researchers and the unknowns abound.
[Morag Lewis, Genome Research Limited]
The controversy and fierce debate that suffused the Human Genome Project brought science and culture together. The product - a string of As, Ts, Cs and Gs - is far from a meaningless jumble of letters: it is the code that shapes our physical existence. That something so deeply personal is also what defines each and every human being on the globe has challenged some of mankind's most deep-rooted definitions of ownership and sharing.
The year 2003 marked 50 years of DNA and the completion of the Human Genome Project...
...but 2003 also marked the beginning of a new voyage - a quest to extract the shared, communal benefits that lay hidden among the billions of unique genome sequences carried in the cells of individuals across the globe.

Softball Sweeps Providence in Doubleheader on Senior Day
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton softball team swept a doubleheader against Providence by scores of 9-6 and 2-0 at the CU Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon.
Creighton (28-23. 9-10 BIG EAST) trailed early in game one against Providence (6-28, 4-14 BIG EAST) but a four-run fourth gave the Jays a lead it would not surrender. In game two CU scored in its first at-bat and added a solo home run in the fifth to win 2-0. The Friars threatened throughout the game but left 14 runners on base and could not plate a run against senior Alexis Cantu.
On senior weekend, Cantu and classmates Blair Lowe and Ellen Homan combined for 11 hits on the day. Cantu and fellow senior Becca Changstrom also collected wins in the circle for the Jays. Cantu, junior Liz Dike and freshman Jen Daro each connected on a home run for Creighton.
Creighton is still in contention for a spot in the BIG EAST Softball Championship next week. In order for the Bluejays to advance they would need to defeat Providence a third time and have DePaul win at Butler on Sunday.
Changstrom started game one in the circle for the Jays.
Providence jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second on a solo home run. The Friars doubled the lead in the third to 2-0 with a single, sacrifice bunt and another single.
Creighton exploded for four runs in the bottom of the third to take the lead at 4-2. Sophomore Kelsey Allender reached first on a dropped third strike and passed ball to open the inning. A bunt single by Lowe put runners on the corners. Dike reached on a Friars error to score a run and put two in scoring position. Cantu's towering home run down the right field line cleared the bases and put CU up by two.
PC scored two in the top of the fourth frame to knot the score at 4-4. Three walks loaded the bases before a two-out, two-RBI double helped Providence tie the score.
But Creighton added three more runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good. A one-out bunt single by Allender started the CU rally. Lowe then doubled and Homan reached on a fielder's choice that saw Allender thrown out at home. Sophomore Erin McGonigal came on to pinch run for Homan at first. Then it was Dike's turn to hit a ball out the park with a homer to left center to put Creighton in front 7-4.
The Friars plated a run for the fourth consecutive inning in the fifth. After a single and a walk, CU junior Mac Millspaugh came in to pitch for Changstrom in the fifth inning. A two-out, two RBI double closed Providence to within one at 7-6.
Creighton added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Back-to-back singles from freshman Allie Reinhart and Allender started the inning. A two-out single from Homan scored a run. A triple by Dike added another for the final score.
Changstrom gained the win to improve to 16-12 on the year and Millspaugh earned her first career save as a Bluejay.
Cantu started game two for the Jays.
CU scored in the bottom of the first frame. Lowe led off with a bunt single. A sacrifice bunt by Homan and an RBI single off of Cantu's bat would score Lowe for an early 1-0 advantage.
After three scoreless innings, CU added another run in the bottom of fifth when Daro homered down the left field line to open the inning. The 2-0 Bluejay lead held for the rest of the game as Providence stranded 14 runners on base.
Cantu earned the complete game win to improve to 6-7 on the year.
The Bluejays finish their regular season slate against Providence on Sunday with first pitch slated for 11 a.m. CT.

My First Calphalon Pans
My first, but definitely not my last. I needed a nonstick pan, and my husband found these at a great price. I got all kinds of excited, because I'd heard about Calphalon from friends, but had never tried it. The pans are very well made and easy to clean. They're not merely utilitarian, they are beautiful, as well. Ordering the lids tomorrow.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-pc
wonderful pan heavy and good quality. Need to use less oil better for health.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
Use this pan EVERY day!
My husband and I purchased this pan 8 months ago and we use it for EVERYTHING. I cook a lot at home, so at a minimum we use the pan once a day. So far, there have been no issues with peeling like others have reported. I know it has only been a few months, but since we use it so often I feel we have gotten good bang for our buck. Our old fry pan was a cheap one from Kohl's, and that only lasted 3 months. The old pan NEVER sat flat on our cooktop, so everything would shift to one side of the pan. Not the issue with our Calphalon, it sits flat and cooks evenly. Plus, there is a lifetime warranty on these pans as long as you take care of them properly... pretty good deal!
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.
Great til we used for a few times
Food does not cook evenly and the pan is warping. We have had since April and only use it on some Sundays. I am not satified with the pans. Not worth all the money.
- No,
- I do not recommend this product.
