|Revamped Watauga School Calendar is Work in Progress
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 17 December 2010 11:36
The Watauga County Schools are trying to deal with the already large number of missed days in the school calendar, announcing that students in the Watauga County Schools will return to classes from the winter holidays on January 4,
one day earlier than first planned, to make up one of the days schools have been closed for inclement weather. Their release goes on to say that on the original school calendar, schools were to be closed January 4 for a protected teacher workday, but now this workday has been postponed to January 17 when schools were already scheduled to be closed for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
The school release goes on to say that "additional changes to the school calendar may occur in January or later, including the possibility of school on Saturdays. Saturdays would only be used at the end of a week in which schools have been closed at least one full day because of snow, a holiday, or a teacher workday. Any decision to open schools on Saturday will be announced to parents and students through the Alert Now automated phone messaging system, local news media, and school websites.
As of December 17, schools have been closed nine days this year for snow and ice. One of the nine days will be recovered on January 4 and the other eight will be made up by moving the last day of the school year to May 31. If additional closings occur, the days that are not made up on Saturdays or through rescheduling of teacher workdays will be added to the end of the year or recovered through shortening spring break.
Schools in the WCS system have been closed an average of 14 days annually for inclement weather over the last 35 years. The number of days missed has varied from as few as four in 1990-91 to as many as 39 in 1977-78.
Updates to the school calendar and the make up plan for school closings are available on the Watauga County Schools website at www.watauga.k12.nc.us."

|BREMCO On High Alert for Snow, Wind
|Written by Renee Whitener, BREMCO
|Monday, 29 October 2012 05:22
Line technicians and all other employees of Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation are on high alert, ready to respond should outages occur as a result of a major storm event predicted for the cooperative's service area. With weather predictions calling for high winds,
cold temperatures, snow and other precipitation through Tuesday, Blue Ridge Electric reminds members to report all outages to our PowerLine at 1-800-448-2383.
In preparation for the severe weather, line crews are double-checking equipment and supplies, and are topping off their truck's gas tanks in the event of outages. Member services staff and other employees are also preparing and ready to assist members as needed.
The cooperative also reminds the public to be aware of the dangers of downed power lines which can result from severe weather, especially if icing occurs on power lines or winds are extremely high. Vehicles skidding and colliding into power poles can also cause downed power lines. The public is advised to stay away from downed power lines because they can still be energized. Coming into contact with an energized line could produce a serious injury or even death. No one but a trained line technician should handle or be near a downed power line. The public should report downed power lines by calling any local Blue Ridge Electric office.
Blue Ridge Electric offers members the following emergency planning tips to be help prepare for outages:
Keep the following emergency supplies on hand:
· A battery operated radio and fresh batteries for the latest weather and power restoration updates
· Flashlights, along with extra batteries
· Water for drinking and cooking. If you have a well, you should also fill your tub with water for flushing toilets.
· Nonperishable food
· Manual can opener
· Wind-up or battery operated clock
· Extra blankets, sleeping bags, quilts
· Paper plates, cups, and utensils
· A grill for cooking (along with extra charcoal and lighter, or propane, depending on your grill). Be sure to use the grill, as well as gas stoves, outside your home in a well-ventilated area to avoid a fire hazard or dangerous fumes of carbon monoxide!!
· If you have a baby in the home, be sure to keep a thermos handy for keeping baby formula warm. Also have extra diapers and formula on hand.
If your power is interrupted, you should:
· Report the outage by calling PowerLine at 1-800-448-2383
· Keep warm by layering your cloths and using blankets
· Preserve heat by closing off any unused rooms in your house.
· Guard against spoiled food by refraining from opening your refrigerator or freezer door
· Prevent a hazardous situation by making sure your range and oven are turned off.
· If you use a portable generator, prevent a fatality or injury by making sure generators are safely connected. Back-feed into the utility system from improperly installed generators can harm or even kill a line technician who is working on power restoration. Improperly installed generators can also damage your appliances. Be sure a qualified, licensed electrician installs a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch to connect the generator to the electrical system. This is required by the National Electrical Code, and the generator connection must also meet local ordinances. Contact a licensed electrician for more information.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Helper will have a liquor store again. The question now is where it will be.
On Tuesday, the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission approved the request of the city's mayor and council to replace the package store that has been closed since February.
However, in the Help Wanted section of today's classified ads, there is an item placed by the DABC that indicates the store does not necessarily have to reopen in its previous Main Street location.
The DABC is accepting applications for a contract agent to run a package liquor agency in Helper. It states that this could be either a Type 3 outlet, like the previous one, or a Type 2, like Miners Trading Post in East Carbon/Sunnyside.
There is a grocery store in Helper that would like the Type 2 contract. That is Workmen's Market, run by Steve Giacoletto and his son Brandon.
The other grocery in Helper, R&A Market, "has no interest whatsoever in having a liquor outlet in my store," stated proprietor Dean Armstrong.
As mayor of Helper, Armstrong supports the city council's position that the liquor store should remain on downtown Main Street. It suits the city's development plan and would keep the lights lit on Main Street, he explained.
In presentations to the commission in April and again on Tuesday, Armstrong and Councilman Robert Bradley stated that having the store reopen would be an anchor for the city's tourism potential.
As a conduit for some 20,000 vehicles per day, US 6 brings potential tourists through town, but not to town. What drivers need is some incentive to leave the highway and spend some time in Helper, city officials have said.
The liquor store, while not a major tourist draw in itself, would be an amenity that is expected by tourists.
The Giacolettos' interest in the Type 2 license was no surprise. Steve Giacoletto had spoken in off-the-agenda remarks at the May 3 city council meeting to explain his reasoning.
He said he expected to provide the service more economically because he is already paying wages, workers' comp and utilities at the grocery store.
"All [the state] has to do is supply the hootch," he joked.
The Giacolettos spoke to the commission after Armstrong and Bradley had departed. Steve Giacoletto told the Sun Advocate Wednesday that they were simply representing the interests of their store.
"We did not stab Dean," he declared. "He was there representing Helper City. He was not representing R&A. We were there representing Workmen's."
In addition to more economical operation, Giacoletto thinks that the ability to offer groceries as well as liquor would be better for tourists and local shoppers.

The International Programme in Addiction Studies (IPAS) is a unique collaboration of three of the world's leading research universities in the field of Addiction Science: King's College London, the University of Adelaide, and Virginia Commonwealth University. This partnership offers three nested graduate program options available to students from around the globe via distance learning technologies. Students are introduced to the latest information on topics ranging from the biological basis of addiction to addiction treatment, prevention and policy through lectures produced exclusively for IPAS by an international Who's Who of experts in the field. IPAS program options include:
Each IPAS degree option was designed to meet the varying educational needs and objectives of professionals currently working in (or students seeking to work in) fields related directly to or impacted by addiction. These include the fields of addiction prevention, treatment and policy, as well as law enforcement, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health and education. The program structure provides flexibility for adult learners, as students who complete either of the Certificate program options may, with approval of the program team, return to study to complete their MS and have their prior credits counted toward the Master's degree.
The Intermediate Certificate programme provides a graduate level exploration of foundational topics in Addiction Science. The Advanced Certificate (known as a PostGraduate Diploma in the UK and Australia) includes the foundational courses, but provides a more in-depth opportunity to explore and critically analyze issues and controversies in the field, and to learn about diagnostic and treatment issues in special populations (adolescents, the elderly, people with mental illness). The Master of Science degree is designed for individuals who want the in-depth content exposure offered through the Advanced Certificate, but who are who are also interested in gaining research experience, pursuing a PhD, or whose career paths require the credentialing available upon completion of a Masters.
These programs are available to students from all countries, although courses are conducted in English only. Classes are entirely online and no campus attendance is required. Enrolled students are considered students of all three universities concurrently and have access to all online resources available from each of the partners. Upon completion of any of the degrees, students receive a unique parchment conferred jointly by and bearing the seals of the three partner universities.
The Master's programme and the Advanced Certificate (PostGraduate Diploma) are available on either a full-time (12-month) or part-time (24-month) basis. The Intermediate Certificate is designed to be completed over a 9-month period with the three courses offered consecutively from August through May. Enrollment in either of the certificate programs is permissible for students who are engaged in other VCU graduate programs so these courses can be taken concurrently to complete a full-time course of study.
Expression of Interest
Please complete the electronic expression of interest form if you are interested in one of the IPAS programs. The information in this form will assist us with answering any questions you may have. Please be sure to include an email address so that may contact you.

ADAMS Japanese lilac, northern red oak and crab apple trees were planted Friday on East Church Street, becoming some of the 63 that will soon line village streets.
Planting of trees by employees of All Seasons Landscaping and Garden Center, Lowville, which will continue through Tuesday, marks the completion of two years of planning by the seven-member Adams Tree Revitalization Committee.
In 2012, the small group secured an $8,351 grant for the project from the state Department of Environmental Conservations Urban and Community Forestry program. The village of Adams matched that amount with cash and in-kind services.
Other varieties to be planted include callery pear, Norway spruce, columnar oak, northern catalpa, greenspire linden, shademaster locust and oak-leaf mountain ash trees. Theyll be planted along Hungerford Avenue and East Church, Phelps, South Park, Liberty, South Main, Roberts and Wardwell streets.
Our goal is to make our community a better place to live and work, said Elizabeth A. Walker, committee chairwoman. We want the streets of our community to be warm and inviting.
The state Urban and Community Forestry program makes it possible for small groups, such as the Adams committee, to develop successful plans to enhance their communitys landscape with trees, said DEC Region 6 forester Glen W. Roberts, who works in Lowville. Mr. Roberts, who assisted the Adams group, said communities that submit informative grant applications have a good chance of acquiring grants.
Forming a tree committee or board is a way for communities to develop it in a way that will make it competitive for these grants, Mr. Roberts said. Theres a lot of potential out there because trees are so important in our communities. Its important for people to learn more about them and take better care of them. Planting a couple a year in a small community can make a big difference.
Mr. Roberts encourages tree committees to partner on projects with DEC officials who conduct tree inventories and offer guidance on grant applications. The tree inventory completed in Adams, for example, offered a broad snapshot of the number and composition of trees. That wealth of knowledge helped inform the committee as it decided where to plant particular tree varieties.
You may want to match trees at a site, but we also want to have diversity, he said. Planting 20 of the same trees is not going to make you competitive for a grant. You have to do your homework.
Tree committees can be started by only a few people, Mr. Roberts said. A blend of volunteers with different skills is beneficial because some people are good at grant writing and others are more interested in planting trees. Its also good to have people on the town board or chamber of commerce.
The village of Sackets Harbor garnered a $5,000 grant from the state Urban and Community Forestry program in 2008, which was matched by the village with funding and in-kind services.
Kelly E. Reinhardt, who spearheaded the effort to start a tree group in the village, has served on the city of Watertowns tree committee since 1996. Committee members planted a mixture of 58 trees in the village thanks to the grant-funded project, and volunteers from the group continue to plant trees every year.
Weve planted 120-plus trees in three or four years, and its something that is going to make a difference, Ms. Reinhardt said, adding the group meets periodically.
Ms. Reinhardt had plenty of help from experts to plan the project. Coming in handy were connections with engineers at Bernier, Carr & Associates in Watertown, where she works as the director of business development and community relations. She also had assistance from her father, Lonny L. Reinhardt, who serves as the village of Sackets Harbors public works superintendent.

Comments about Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit:
I took this product on an 8 day backpacking trip in WY. It worked as expected. I used it to charge my cell phone. so i could take pictures and listen to music in the back country. I wish i would have not taken the extra battery pack because i could just hook my USB up to the solar panels and charge my phone directly it works faster than i expected at charging and its durable. I even rigged the solar panels to the top of my pack while hiking and charged while on the move. Worked awesome and will take it again minus the heavy battery pack, just to save some weight.

Comments about Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit:
I was excited to think I would be able to take my electronics off the grid, and I was disappointed to discover I couldn't. The kit would not charge my iPhone 4S nor my eTrex GPS, so I guess I'm looking for something that will. The Goal Zero products look good, but beware of what they promise to deliver.
I returned my Adventure 10 for a refund.

Two Watertown men face two counts each of second-degree harassment after allegedly being involved in an altercation with two Western New York men early Thursday on Factory Street.
Gordon J. Majo, 32, of 25729 Ridge Road, and James D. Manton, 44, of 24021 Route 12, Apt. 9, were each charged by city police at 1:30 a.m. in the 200 block of Factory Street.
It is alleged that at about 1:10 a.m. Mr. Majo struck Rapheal J. Ramos, Buffalo, in the face, knocking his glasses off and pushing him to the ground. It is also alleged that Mr. Manton punched Mr. Ramos several times. According to a statement given to police by Shane P. Leddon, Batavia, Mr. Majo punched Mr. Leddon in the face six or seven times, causing him to suffer a swollen lip, scraped hands and pain in his neck and head. Mr. Leddon told police that Mr. Manton also punched him two or three times.
Mr. Mayo and Mr. Manton are due to answer the charges in City Court.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Some of the changes at D'Amours Big Y have been obvious throughout the last couple months.
An aisle was knocked down at the entrance for an expanded produce section. Pizza and grinder stations and a soup bar have been set up at the back of the store. New cafe seating now exists on the east side.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The new BJ's Wholesale is set to be fully constructed by the end of the September and the store will open shortly after.
According Robert MacPherson, founder of Cape Breton Corp., the company that is building the store, construction and utilities are on pace to be completed and the store can be turned over to BJ's management for an October opening.
"The BJ's is looking, hopefully, to open in the middle or end of September," MacPherson said Tuesday. "Certainly before the first of October is our hope."
The construction, located on Hubbard Avenue behind Price Chopper, is expecting to bring 120 new jobs to the city. The club's website is advertising an array of jobs from an assistant manager to meat cutters to department supervisors.
LEE, Mass. — Springfield-based supermarket chain Big Y Foods, Inc., has paid $4.25 million for 9.8 acres of property on which it intends to build a new store.
The site, situated between Exit 2 of the Massachusetts Turnpike and the Lee Prime Outlets, was originally home to Diesel Dan's Travel Complex.
Colebrook Realty Services, Inc. brokered the sale of the property and its improvements. Colebrook Principals B. John Dill and Mitch Bolotin represented the seller, NortherEdge/Plant One Realty Trust. According to documents filed in the Registration of Deeds, the closing date was Sept 20.
Big Y plans to develop a 48,000 square-foot supermarket on the site, with 5,000 square feet of additional retail space. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on Sept. 1 in favor of the construction, which is scheduled to begin by the end of the year.
"We are excited to be one step closer to building a Big Y World Class Market in Lee as we continue to move forward with our plans to open this market to better affect customer service strategy for South County," said Charles L. D'Amour, President and COO of Big Y Foods, Inc., in a statement released by Colebrook today, Oct. 7.
The sale of the property is part of a broader portfolio restructuring on the part of F.L. Roberts & Company, Inc.
According to Steven M. Roberts, President of F.L. Roberts & Company, Inc., "Along came our repurchase opportunity for some of our formerly owned Sunoco station and Colebrook Realty was instrumental in providing a key element to our asset shuffling strategy: a timely Purchase and Sale Agreement with Big Y. Mitch and Jack did an excellent job in a difficult real estate market."
Stop & Shop and its unionized workers are heading toward a strike. United Food and Commercial Workers 1459 says it served notice it will terminate its contract with the supermarket chain as of Friday at noon, as have two other UFCW locals in Rhode Island and Connectictut.
In a update posted on the UFCW site Thursday afternoon, President Scott Macey said the union was willing to negotiate with the supermarket through Friday for "a fair and reasonable offer." However, the union can call a job action at any point and strike without notice, he wrote.
UFCW 1459 covers workers in Berkshire County and Western Mass. Employees at the store in North Adams have said they're prepared to strike and that they've been told by loyal customers that they won't cross at picket line. Stop & Shop also operates two stores in Pittsfield.
Stop & Shop took advertisements in local newspapers for temporary help last month in anticipation of a breakdown in negotiations; talks between the chain and its union have been rocky and a federal mediator was called in to help with the talks.
On its Web site, the grocer stated that "negotiations are continuing and this does not necessarily mean there will be a work stoppage; however the locals would be free to initiate a work stoppage after the 24 hour period ends. If a work stoppage does occur, Stop & Shop may use temporary replacement workers to support our stores."
Any work stoppage would affect more than 300 workers in Berkshire County.
Update at 8:46 p.m.: The five union locals say they're scheduling votes for Sunday on a new offer from Stop & Shop, per federal mediators. According to postings on the UFCW Web site, talks are closer on health and pensions, but the locals feel there should be significant movement on wages and new hires. Stop & Shop has consistently stated its workers are well paid compared to similar nonunion workplaces.
Update at 9:27 a.m. , March 7: The five union locals say they reached a tentative agreement on Saturday night. The union membership will vote this afternoon; Berkshire County union members will be presented the contract and will vote at the Holyoke Holiday Inn beginning at 3 p.m.
Update, 9:35 a.m., March 8: UCFW has voted to accept the contract offered by Stop & Shop. Some 400 employees in Berkshire County and Western Mass. attended a presentation Sunday on the offer, which passed 307-23. UCFW 1459 President Scott Macey said the contract protected many benefits and contained other improvements. In a posting on the Web site, Macey said the union got about 92 percent of what it wanted.
"Today was a very good day. We were able to present a very good package," he said. "Tremendous improvements in health and welfare and pension plan staying the same, and a few other improvements, I couldn't be happier with the outcome today."
Four other UCFW locals also approved the contract, averting a strike.

Ex. Ord. No. 13217. Community-Based Alternatives for Individuals With Disabilities
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to place qualified individuals with disabilities in community settings whenever appropriate, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. This order is issued consistent with the following findings and principles:
(a) The United States is committed to community-based alternatives for individuals with disabilities and recognizes that such services advance the best interests of Americans.
(b) The United States seeks to ensure that America's community-based programs effectively foster independence and participation in the community for Americans with disabilities.
(c) Unjustified isolation or segregation of qualified individuals with disabilities through institutionalization is a form of disability-based discrimination prohibited by Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12101 [12131] et seq. States must avoid disability-based discrimination unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity provided by the State.
(d) In Olmstead v. L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999) (the "Olmstead decision"), the Supreme Court construed Title II of the ADA [42 U.S.C. 12131 et seq.] to require States to place qualified individuals with mental disabilities in community settings, rather than in institutions, whenever treatment professionals determine that such placement is appropriate, the affected persons do not oppose such placement, and the State can reasonably accommodate the placement, taking into account the resources available to the State and the needs of others with disabilities.
(e) The Federal Government must assist States and localities to implement swiftly the Olmstead decision, so as to help ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to live close to their families and friends, to live more independently, to engage in productive employment, and to participate in community life.
Sec. 2. Swift Implementation of the Olmstead Decision: Agency Responsibilities. (a) The Attorney General, the Secretaries of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development, and the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration shall work cooperatively to ensure that the Olmstead decision is implemented in a timely manner. Specifically, the designated agencies should work with States to help them assess their compliance with the Olmstead decision and the ADA [42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.] in providing services to qualified individuals with disabilities in community-based settings, as long as such services are appropriate to the needs of those individuals. These agencies should provide technical guidance and work cooperatively with States to achieve the goals of Title II of the ADA [42 U.S.C. 12131 et seq.], particularly where States have chosen to develop comprehensive, effectively working plans to provide services to qualified individuals with disabilities in the most integrated settings. These agencies should also ensure that existing Federal resources are used in the most effective manner to support the goals of the ADA. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall take the lead in coordinating these efforts.
(b) The Attorney General, the Secretaries of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development, and the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration shall evaluate the policies, programs, statutes, and regulations of their respective agencies to determine whether any should be revised or modified to improve the availability of community-based services for qualified individuals with disabilities. The review shall focus on identifying affected populations, improving the flow of information about supports in the community, and removing barriers that impede opportunities for community placement. The review should ensure the involvement of consumers, advocacy organizations, providers, and relevant agency representatives. Each agency head should report to the President, through the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the results of their evaluation within 120 days.
(c) The Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall fully enforce Title II of the ADA, including investigating and resolving complaints filed on behalf of individuals who allege that they have been the victims of unjustified institutionalization. Whenever possible, the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services should work cooperatively with States to resolve these complaints, and should use alternative dispute resolution to bring these complaints to a quick and constructive resolution.
(d) The agency actions directed by this order shall be done consistent with this Administration's budget.
Sec. 3. Judicial Review. Nothing in this order shall affect any otherwise available judicial review of agency action. This order is intended only to improve the internal management of the Federal Government and does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.George W. Bush.

The 58th annual presentation of Handel's beloved "Messiah" will take place this coming weekend.
This year the tradition however is expanding with presentations in both Castle Dale and in Price, a first for the musical presentation.
The first performance will be at Emery High School in the auditorium on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.
The second performance will be in Price on Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the city's Civic Auditorium.
The choir for the program is made up of singers from both counties and totals almost 100 voices.
The orchestra is a likewise joint effort of both communities, including string, brass, and woodwind players. Soloists are all local singers.
The ensemble is directed by College of Eastern Utah music department faculty member Russell Wilson, who himself participated in his first performance at the Carbon High School in 1966 under the direction of Dorothy Brown.
"I am dedicated to keeping the long standing tradition a vital part of the holiday season," said Wilson.
The program is appropriate for those 12 years old and older. It is asked that infants not be brought in to either performance, since digital recordings are being made for the participants this year.
All performances will begin promptly on time.

Main nozzle on Linkert M6A
My recently purchased 1943 WLC came with a Linkert M6 Indian carb. I am disassembling the carb to clean it, and the main nozzle does not move. There was no nozzle spring and looking up the carb from the bottom, the nozzle looks like it is fixed in place. I've soaked the carb in carb cleaner, but the nozzle still won't move. So, two questions, did Linkert ever make a carb with a fixed nozzle? and if not, any suggestions on removing it without damaging it?

A hearing in federal court today may clear up a dispute over when or if Fox River cleanup begins for the season following a court ruling that seemingly lets one major player off the hook.
U.S. District Judge William Griesbach on Tuesday issued a ruling that says Appleton Papers Inc. has no direct liability for dumping toxic polychlorinated biphenyls into the Fox River.
That apparently means Appleton Papers, which holds controlling interest in the company doing the cleanup, can't be forced to speed up operations, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Natural Resources want it to do.

Flashback To The 80's: A Decade Of Synthpop
The 80's have come and gone, and let's face it: most of us weren't even around then to enjoy it but luckily we have family and friends who have experienced the 80's so we can live vicariously through their stories. Plus we have loads of music to pour over as we learn the history behind each chord and lyric.
I'm happy to say that I'm an 80's baby (1988) and that I was born in the decade that synthpop (and crazy hair) became one of the most influential genres in the music industry, inspiring some of my favorite artists today to create electro-masterpieces that make my heart, and ears, so happy.
Here are the best of the best musical masterminds of the 80's.
Which one is your favorite?

Orlando Predators Managing Partner Brett Bouchy announced that Head Coach Bret Munsey has been released from the team, and that an extensive search for his replacement will commence immediately.
"The Orlando Predators have a long and storied history as a winner in the Arena Football League," says Bouchy. "Going forward, we are committed to continuing that winning tradition, and will do everything we can to find a coach who will make that happen."
A Winter Park native who took the Philadelphia Soul to the ArenaBowl Championship in 2008, Munsey was named the Predators' head coach in August 2011; he had also served as the team's secondary coach and director of player personnel from 2003-05. The Predators registered a 4-14 record for the 2012 season, marking the first time the team failed to make the playoffs since 1992.
"Bret will always be a valued member of our organization, but a losing season is not acceptable to our fans, and it is not acceptable to our management team," says Bouchy. "We will not be satisfied until the Predators bring home another ArenaBowl championship."
Orlando's Arena Football League franchise since 1991, the Orlando Predators are currently in their 21st year in the AFL. In that time, the Predators have advanced to the AFL Playoffs a league-leading 19 consecutive seasons and appeared in the Arena Bowl seven times, winning AFL Championships in 1998 and 2000.

The Fire won back-to-back away games and scored six goals. They sit in a playoff position and control their own fate with two games remaining. Juan Luis Anangono is heating up. Mike Magee is so hot he's scoring goals by accident. Sean Johnson is playing like, and being recognized as, one of the four or five best American goalies. Jeff Larentowicz is owning midfields. Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry are two of only three MLS players who've played every single minute so far this season and their defensive relationship is finally solidifying. There's real depth on the outside and through the middle (where captain Logan Pause and summer standout Daniel Paladini are working to get past Alex and Arevalo Rios).
That's the general view right now. The squad is playing up to their potential and the depth is supporting them. The competition for spots is pushing everyone harder, and the depth is allowing Frank Klopas to cover for injuries, international duty (Rios, Lindpere), or to go with the hotter player (Anangono over Chris Rolfe).
In other words, things are shaping up nicely. The general feeling is a good one, momentum is building, the Twitter trolls have returned to their caves, and it's hard to fend off enticing thoughts like, you know those lower-seeded teams that barrel into the playoffs and scare everyone because they're playing with momentum and confidence? What if the Fire can be that team?
All season long, the Fire's major problem was consistency. They were infuriatingly inconsistent from game to game and, indeed, from half to half. Maybe it was a focus thing, maybe it was a changing personnel thing, who knows. But now the Fire are managing games better. They're attacking straight from the beginning. They're pressuring the ball all over the field. They're getting crucial two-goal advantages and defending well enough to hold on to them.
We saw all that last week in D.C., where a super high defensive line pushed the Fire team way up the field to pressure United players into mistakes that led to chances and goals. We saw the same thing in Dallas on Saturday night. Alex, especially, was way up the field in the first half, never letting the Dallas players play the ball comfortable in their own half. (Magee, Anangono, Patrick Nyarko, and Dilly Duka deserve credit too.) How many shots did the Fire have at the top of the Dallas box in the first 30 minutes? It was harassment.
So just like in DC, a high defensive line and concentrated pressure led to a 2-0 first half lead. But just like in DC, we saw where it could be dangerous. We saw the team pay the price of so much early pressure, with Nyarko tweaking a hamstring and the rest of the team almost running out of gas late in the second half. We also saw how pushing too eagerly can be scary:
But I like this high pressure because it fits the moment, with the Fire desperately needing these results to make the playoffs. There are just two games left and the Fire have to prove their potentially newfound consistency beyond the past two away wins. They have to show the urgency and the commitment and the work rate into the next two games, too. Klopas's high risk and high pressure tactic fits.
It's a great moment: After all the work and all the struggle, suddenly the players' quality shines through. Suddenly everybody trusts each other. Goals and points happen. Anibaba scores a stunner. Other teams hit the posts.
I don't know about predicting anything against Toronto and New York. But if we keep seeing the Fire play as they have these past two games, they'll get to play a few more.

Select shots from the Fire's 2-2 draw with the Impact.
On whether, with all of the chances and the red card, it still seemed like a 3-0 game:
No, not at all. We give up the red card and then playing shorthanded, and the first goal was soft. We were coming from behind. Really, we pushed the game. We had chances to tie the game and it doesn't go your way and then they got a PK. For me, it's all questionable, but regardless, the team left everything on the field. I feel good about the group. We have to regroup and get ready for next week.
On whether, down 1-0 at half, Chicago was trying to tie the game or still get three points:
You just have to be smart. We had our chances. I think if we would have scored, they would have been under pressure, but we hit the post, we had some good opportunities in the final third and sometimes it just isn't your night.
On trying to beat a team four times in a season:
It isn't easy to beat a team four times in one season, but it's very difficult when you're playing shorthanded also. We played for the majority of the game, almost 60 minutes, shorthanded, and the guys competed and left it all on the field. We pushed the game. We took risks because what's the point? 1-0 or 2-0 you still lose, for me it doesn't matter at that point. We had the chances and we didn't get [the goal]. The second goal really kills us, the PK shorthanded, questionable but whatever. It is what it is. We've just got to move on.
Chicago Fire midfielder Dilly Duka
On the loss:
We have played this team four times this year – you can't win them all. This is MLS. They scored an early goal, they played well, and we were a little unlucky. I thought I was fouled in the first 25 minutes in the box. I clearly got pushed. The guy didn't even touch the ball, but that's how it goes sometimes. Can't look back – got to look forward.
On the second half:
We definitely believed we could come back and tie, maybe even win the game. There was no doubt in that locker room at halftime about coming out of this game with a loss.
On 'new-look' Crew under Bliss:
I thought they were a good team with Robert [Warzycha]. I think they have good personnel and players, but it was just their day.
Chicago Fire midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On the loss:
We hit the posts, we hit the crossbar, we got opportunities – overall though we were just not good enough. But in the end we have five more games left and we're right there. We have been in this spot before. We knew it was going to be a tough road game coming in, but we have games to play and there is going to be more opportunities.
On impact of second goal:
The next goal was going to be big. We knew that if we could keep it at one to nothing we could probably develop opportunities and create chances. The second goal was one that put the game out of reach.
On difficulty of beating teams four times a season:
We knew that coming in, but at the same time we were focused on the end result. This is a tough part of the year. We are a team that knows we can do things on the road, but tonight it wasn't our best and when you're not on your best you get beat.

Creative Portland has received a grant from the Quimby Family Foundation to launch a professional development series, in partnership with Maine College of Art and the Maine Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, designed specifically for professional artists.
The series will consist of 12 workshops held in MECA's Osher Hall on the second Wednesday of every month from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., beginning in October. Selected from a survey of artists this summer, topics will range from grant-writing and social media to contract law and business start-up basics. On October 10, the inaugural session will cover the top-rated need identified on the survey by 79 of the 215 respondents: grant-writing skills for artists. On November 14, artists are invited to learn about best practices for pricing artwork. On December 12, industry professionals will lead a discussion on tax essentials for artists.
With support from the Foundation and a sponsorship from MECA, the cost will be $10 per session for participants and free to all MECA students and alumni. Registration is required.

CHEVERLY, Md. (WUSA) -- When Rushern Baker became Prince George's County Executive, he set out to clean up and steer the county in a new direction. It was a mammoth task, made all the more difficult by a painful family struggle.
Earlier this year, Baker, shared the news that his wife - Christa - had Early Onset Dementia.
He talked with Nine News anchor Lesli Foster in an emotional interview.
Baker says his family wasn't prepared for this diagnosis when Christa was just 48. It was not the kind of turning point he expected after she helped him finally achieve his political dream.
"And the charter, and the laws, of Prince George's County."
Rushern Baker remembers the day he took the oath of office. His wife does not.
"This is something that couldn't happen today. In that she fully understands what's going on, " says Baker of that moment.
It's a now a distant memory for Baker's wife, Christa. The county's first lady toiled beside her husband for eight years to get the voters there to see, what she always knew.
"At any moment in my life when I was feeling down about my abilities, and whether in fact I was gonna make it, she never doubted," says Baker.
Baker looked back fondly at pictures of when they first married, 26 years ago. They were young, in love, with a vast future ahead of them. He was the politician. She found her voice in policy.
"This was the beginning of our journey together ..."
A journey, that placed, Christa, or Cis, as her friends and family call her - front and center as the brains behind the Baker political machine.
"She wrote all my speeches. She did, designed every piece of literature that we put out in the first campaign," says Baker.
But the family noticed cracks in her powerhouse foundation before the 2010 campaign. The woman with the brilliant mind and quick wit had started going to a place that they couldn't quite reach. So, Baker took Cis to have some tests.
"She," Baker says voice cracking, "She couldn't ah, answer the questions. She couldn't tell how old her kids were," he recallled.
Then, the devastating diagnosis: Early Onset Dementia. And a difficult conversation with their children.
"The first question was is she going to get better. And, I said, no, she's not going to get better. In fact, she's going to get worse."
Only the family and some close friends knew about Cis. Baker was slowly coming to accept that his political and life partner was slipping away.
"I remember going through the struggles of the first year and I'd come home and I'd say Cis, this, this and this. And, she'd look at me and say, 'oh honey.' And that would be it, " says Baker. "And, I'd literally start crying because I'd just hink, you know, God if she were herself, she'd be so good."
After a year of trying to manage her care on their own, the family decided to share their painful new normal.
"The next thing I knew, I had a list of sorority sisters, friends from Howard, who were calling saying we'll take this day," says Baker.
"This is the reunion at my house. Right here. This is when I knew something was up," says Dr. Debra Holly Ford, sorority sister and dear friend to Cis and Baker.
These are just a few of Cis' Delta Sigma Theta Sorority sisters. Their bond began more than 30 years ago at Howard University. Now, this sisterhood has formed a protective circle around the devoted wife, mother, attorney and education advocate.
Just as they did years ago, they've pledged to be their sisters keeper.
"We're here because Cissy has done so much for all of us. And, I don't care what it is, we're going to drop whatever we're doing to help out," says Dr. Ford.
And, they do. Many come from across the country to sit with Cis, while County Executive Baker carries out his duties.
One Soror, friend, and head of the county Health Department, Pam Creekmur, recalled one funny time together.
"The highlight of Monday was that she was prancing around in my heels. I had taken them off. And, it's weird what makes you, okay she's there. Because of the way she was walking in those heels. It was Cis," says Creekmur.
This extended family of caregivers is determined to help Baker keep the promise to the citizens of Prince George's County - and to his wife - tomake the county a better place.
"You all don't know what kind of first lady this county was going to have, you just don't know, "says one of Cis' sorority sisters, Marcita Bentley-Pinkston.
"I know it's like, well gosh, she sounds like she's too good to be true. She was ..." says Dr. Ford. Then, they all chime in: "She is."
They call her virtuous. Say she'd always have time for them. And, extolled how amazed at her apparent ability to do it all. She worked. Took care of the family. Cooked. Handled the family finances. And, never missed a beat.
Even with a village of support, there are still times when being the chief caregiver has its challenges. During the gaming debate, Baker had to make some high level meetings with the Governor and others in Annapolis, with little notice.
"I said, I have exactly two hours. And, here's the reason. I told the Speaker, my wife's at home, I have no one who can care for her, and I need to get back. So that kinda pull ..." says Baker.
"They care for each other ina way that was truly admirable. And, that has done nothing but grow, " says Cis' line sister, Shannon Gundy.
That love, and the support of family, friends and people all around the county is what keeps Baker going. He says he plans to make a run for another term and continue the journey he and Cis started together.
"What I want people to know is that anything they see, and they think I do a good job, it's because of her. If I mess up, that's me," Baker laughs.
There are some signs that the Baker family noticed in Cis before her diagnosis. She had forgotten to pay bills, she'd gotten lost driving from familiar places, and couldn't hold or follow a conversation with others.
Baker and his three children hope that if you're going through this, that you will seek out help because he's learned you can't do it on your own.
He's found the Alzheimer's Association to be particularly helpful. And, Baker wonders whether Cis knew something about her own situation. She had made several donations to the organizations that Baker only learned about after taking over the family finances.
While Cis does have a full time caregiver during the week, friends, family, and deep connections through their Alma Mater, Howard University, help them whenever they need additional support.
And, the County Executive, hopes that by going public, other families will seek out resources.
Learn more about the signs of Early Onset Dementia. And for additional support, the Alzheimer's Association says they have a free 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-272-3900. This line can translate support into 140 languages.
The Alzheimer's Association has a program called Trial Match. It's designed to help families locate and participate in clinical trials to learn more about how the disease affects the brain.
To find out how to enroll, call the Alzheimer's Association Helpline at 1-800-272-3900. Press 1 for Trial Match, after the voice prompt. Or, consult www.alz.org and click on the research link on the home page.

Death wikileaks
According to the latest reconstruction of the old Irish annals, Patrick died in AD 460 on March 17, a date accepted by some modern historians.[44] Prior to the 1940s it was believed without doubt that he died in 420 and thus had lived in the first half of the fifth century.[45] A lecture entitled "The Two Patricks", published in 1942 by T. F. O'Rahilly, caused enormous controversy by proposing that there had been two "Patricks", Palladius and Patrick, and that what we now know of St. Patrick was in fact in part a conscious effort to blend the two into one hagiographic personality. Decades of contention eventually ended with most historians[who?] now asserting that Patrick was indeed most likely to have been active in the latter half of the fifth century.[46]
While Patrick's own writings contain no dates, they do contain information which can be used to date them. Patrick's quotations from the Acts of the Apostles follow the Vulgate, strongly suggesting that his ecclesiastical conversion did not take place before the early fifth century. Patrick also refers to the Franks as being pagans. Their conversion is dated to the period 496508.[47]
There is plentiful evidence for a medieval tradition that Patrick had died in 493. An addition to the Annals of Ulster states that in the year 553 (approximately two hundred and fifty years before the addition was made):
I have found this in the Book of Cuanu: The relics of Patrick were placed sixty years after his death in a shrine by Colum Cille. Three splendid halidoms were found in the burial-place: his goblet, the Angel's Gospel, and the Bell of the Testament. This is how the angel distributed the halidoms: the goblet to Dún, the Bell of the Testament to Ard Macha, and the Angel's Gospel to Colum Cille himself. The reason it is called the Angel's Gospel is that Colum Cille received it from the hand of the angel.[48]
The reputed burial place of St. Patrick in Downpatrick
The placing of this event in the year 553 indicate a tradition that Patrick's death was 493, or at least in the early years of that decade, and the Annals of Ulster report under 493:
Patrick, arch-apostle, or archbishop and apostle of the Irish, rested on the 16th of the Kalends of April in the 120th year of his age, in the 60th year after he had come to Ireland to baptise the Irish.
This tradition is also seen in an annalistic reference to the death of a saint termed Patrick's disciple, Mochta, who is said to have died in 535.[49]
According to the Annals of the Four Masters, an early-modern compilation of earlier annals, his corpse soon became an object of conflict in the Battle for the Body of St. Patrick.
