Library Fund Drive
The Library Happening at Eastern Mennonite College:
A Modern-day Miracle in Three Acts
by James O. Lehman, former reference and serials librarian
written for the EMC Bulletin, 10/1971
PART I: Background to the Drive
The most dramatic fund-raising event in the history of Eastern Mennonite College unfolded on the weekend of December 5-9, 1969. It came at the end of a decade marked by increasing national anxiety and frustration about student power. Too often the riots and demonstrations had resulted in destruction.
EMC's "demonstration" turned into a display of constructive student power. In one brief crisis-inspired weekend, students, faculty, and the community-at large rescued the threatened $1.3 million library.
It was a grass-roots movement. Students basically furnished the ideas, the enthusiasm, the leadership, and the muscle. A responsive faculty, community, and church-at-large helped to turn the unforgettable weekend into a "happening in unity."
In one whirlwind weekend students ignited an infectious school spirit so pervasive it could be felt and breathed, and so effective it raised $111,000 in four days!
Library Plans Develop
Planning for a new library building began nearly a decade earlier. "To envision a new library at Eastern Mennonite College is an act of faith," Sadie Hartzler, EMC's veteran librarian, told her colleagues in a faculty meeting in the spring of 1961.
Considerable time elapsed before this faith flowered into substantive action. Two years later the Trustees authorized a science building and a library as special projects on which to proceed.
A library Planning Committee was not formed until the spring of 1966. Opportunity came to apply for a Federal grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. This was done September 30, 1967. The following month, at the 50 th anniversary celebration of Eastern Mennonite college, the new library was announced as the special anniversary project.
News arrived in June, 1968, that EMC had been awarded a grant totaling $388,629. With it came a deadline 18 months away – December 11, 1969.
Finding finances for the recently completed $1.3 million science center kept solicitors on the road well into 1969. Meanwhile, a massive alumni drive for the library was triggered in early 1969.
In June, 1969 a major reorganizational shift resulted in a new full-blown Development Department. Immediately they swung into action. With one eye on the December deadline, they considered all possible options. Hastily-planned dinner meetings, elaborate case statements, and follow-up visits proceeded at a frantic pace.
A year before the deadline for signing the contract the Trustees had set a fiscally responsible stipulation that $400,000 cash be on hand in addition to the Federal grant before the contract would be signed.
The 1969-70 school year opened quite ordinarily. The college community rejoiced in an enrollment increase of nearly ten percent. A live topic of discussion that fall in the faculty conference and among students was the phenomena of student activism.
Students enjoyed a new freedom at EMU. For the first time students sat on nearly all major faculty committees. Readily observable were an innovative campus church and a revitalized Student Government Association (SGA). The student community basked in the unique kind of trust in young people that the administration had increasingly evidenced in recent years.
Students early sensed the underlying current of concern about the fate of the library. The December deadline loomed only several months away and little more than half the $400,000 cash had been obtained.
In mid-October the Weather Vane editorialized about "salvaging the library." It called for 900 students to "turn on the money reservoirs with dedication and school spirit."
When Trustees met November 7, in spite of the expressed faith of administrative personnel, they demurred on a decision, calling instead for a special meeting prior to December 11 deadline.
By now it had become clear that the college was indeed fortunate to have secured the federal grant when it did. To many came the haunting fear that to pass it up now would mean years until a new library building would materialize.
The dilemma deepened. Many still had faith that a rapid influx of contributions at the last moment would save the library.
Thanksgiving Drive
Actually, two student drives occurred to help save the library building. The first one at Thanksgiving, initiated by administrative and faculty personnel, turned out to be relatively unsuccessful.
Students were reminded of the seriousness of the situation in chapel exercises on November 21. With a hastily-prepared brochure in their hands and some last-minute instructions, they left for Thanksgiving vacation.
Richard Benner, Director of Development, reported the results in chapel on Tuesday, December 2. One hundred and sixteen students had brought back $22,950.74. Results were considered less than heartening in light of the $126,005 that needed to be obtained in less than ten days.
The following day President Myron Augsburger called for a prayer meeting after chapel to "pray for God's answer to our need." Some still had faith that God would provide a positive answer.
The first inklings of that answer came on Wednesday and Thursday. SGA officials called for students to skip meals, even take tuition money for the library. Another student, John Weber, described his success in raising $1200 in the Thanksgiving Drive. He made it clear that he was one student who refused to "believe the fallacy that things would take care of themselves."

Hi, I'm Jeremy. Thanks for taking an interest in my profile. If I could share myself in a few words; I'm a proud father, and happy husband. I was married in October of 2008, I had my son in June of 2012. I'm college student in Denver, Co; my major is computer science.
I've recently taken a strong interest in the Php, but I'm also interested in database design, object-oriented design, web design, and game design. I aspire to be an artist as well as a programmer, So sometimes I will also dabble in Autodesk, and Adobe tools; I feel like I'm spreading myself thin at times.
In the past, I would lose myself in learning interfaces of various new software suites without stopping to learn the principles behind them first. This led me to chasing my tail, so to speak; I would always be learning the next big tool, and never gain a mastery before the next release of another big tool. So now I commit myself to mastering an old tool, no matter how much more productivity the new tool may entice me with.

text: The book in question, Nixonland by Rick Perlstein, was rather appropriate for the trip I was making. It discusses how Richard Nixon managed to take us from a country that overwhelmingly elected Lyndon Johnson and his Great Society to one that overwhelmingly elected Nixon and his secretive society. I say appropriate because Austin, my destination, is full of the kind of liberal McGovernites that Nixon used to divide the country to his advantage. Volkswagen has always been the brand of liberals [well, post Hitler – Ed.]. From the Volkswagen Beetles of the free love generation to the Passat station wagons of the yuppie crowd, if you see that VeeDub logo on the front you're more likely to see a "visualize world peace" sticker than a "Newt in 2012" one. But the genius of Nixon wasn't that he divided the world into liberals and conservatives or Republicans and Democrats, it was that he split society into the elites and everyone else. Perlstein focuses on an undergraduate election at the Whittier College, where Nixon won the election for president of the student body by taking on the campus elite, represented by an organization called The Franklins. Nixon formed his own group, The Orthogonian Society, made up of everyone else. He won by a large margin. Driving from Houston to Austin I had plenty of time to consider whether the Tiguan, in a compact crossover segment that's becoming increasingly crowded, is an Orthigonian everyman like the Ford Escape or in the more elite company of the Infiniti EX35. Who would drive the Tiguan? Richard Nixon or John Lindsey? On the open road the torquey turbo four, shared with just about every other VW product, has a distinctly European feel to it. The quick response and ample torque across the rev range suggests good breeding and a life spent at boarding schools. Think Phillips Exeter Academy or Georgetown Prep. I hoped, while passing through Bastrop County, a notoriously Orthogonian area, that no one would notice the Franklinesque nature of the powertrain. Pulling into Austin I predictably hit traffic and decide to carve my way through some hilly backstreets on the way to my friend's house. Here's where the Tiguan finds a more common attitude. It's a familiar ride to anyone who has driven a car in this segment. Not overly soft or abrasive. Not exciting but not disappointing. Though it shares a platform with the Golf/Rabbit/GTI family you'd be forgiven for not realizing it around turns as this crossover is a victim of its size and (car) class. It's height adding lean and vagueness, but its size retaining enough of the Golf's nimbleness to ensure it never feels totally out of its element around bends. Orthogonions would approve. When I finally caught up with Dan he inspected the book and was satisfied to see that it was in almost perfect condition. It was time to repair to dinner so, along with his girlfriend, we hopped into the Tiguan. Dan, like many Austinites, drives a Volkswagen Golf when not using public transportation and is therefore familiar with the automaker's appointments. He liked it. Even in the basest of trims the Volkswagen stands above its non-luxury competitors - the Ford Escape and Saturn Vue - in terms of design, material and feel. The Tiguan's interior is light, airy, uncluttered and made from high quality materials; no cheap plastics or undamped switchgear in here. It's big too, the body's added height adding a roominess the Golf it's based on is totally lacking. A point for the Franklins. I point out the folding seats and rather simple radio as a way of racking up more points for the common set, hoping to get the kind of even balance that makes these kinds of comparisons more relevant, but it doesn't quite work. Driving around in a German CUV, even one that isn't particularly luxurious, is still driving around in a European car. An impoverished Duke is still a Duke. In the end, the Tiguan ends up being not common enough to be an Orthogonian though not quite luxurious and well bred enough to be a true Franklin. We'll call it a Franklin anyways. As Nixon became more paranoid just about everyone who wasn't completely in support of his presidency became lumped in with the Franklins and, were he to know that we were on our way to a place that served gourmet cafeteria food, he'd probably consider us Franklins too.

OGDENSBURG Sherman Elementary School has a neighborhood, family feel that no other school in the city could ever replicate.
That was the feeling from the schools past educators and administrators when looking back on their time at the Franklin Street school, which will close June 30 after almost 120 years educating the citys children.
Sherman School holds many, many special memories of its students and their parents, said retired Principal Mary Margaret M. Small, who was at Sherman from 1997 until 2006. We really were a school family.
It was always a nice, welcoming place, said retired art teacher Lorre A. Florin, who taught at Sherman from 1979 until 1983 and had been a shared art teacher among all of the elementary schools when she started in 1967. You always felt at home going there.
Teachers knew each other and were close to one another. Parents were a major part of the schools small community.
Our parents and grandparents and siblings were a part of the daily school experience for our students, Mrs. Small said. You would see them eating lunch with their child any day of the week, or bringing in the cake for our monthly birthday lunch with the principal. Our parents were the speakers for our monthly character assemblies. Older brothers and sisters would often help with events such as Family Bingo Night or Christmas cookie decorating.
Multiple generations of families were educated there since the school first opened its doors in 1895.
Retired kindergarten teacher Cynthia I. Wilson taught three generations of some families during her 34 years at Sherman.
I think thats one of the neat things about Sherman, Mrs. Wilson said. It was such a family school. You knew all the children. And it didnt matter what class they were in; they were like everybodys children.
Its been really interesting to see former students grow up and see how they turned out, said former first-grade teacher Sandra J. Plimpton, who taught there from 1972 to 1983. Ive stayed in touch with the teachers I taught with and went back to walk down memory lane when they had the Sherman open house. I think its hardest on those who went there who are still in town and have to watch it being closed.
Sherman covers prekindergarten through second grade, but at one time taught first through sixth grade.
It still covered classes up to fourth grade when Judith J. Doan started teaching first grade there in 1970. She taught there until 1974, then substitute taught for a few years before returning permanently to the classroom from 1980 until 2003.
It was a small, neighborhood school with great kids, great parents and great grandparents who were always willing to help in any way they could, Mrs. Doan said in an email message from her home in Arlington, Va.
It has always been so warm and friendly. Because it was a small school, the teachers and students got to know everyone in the whole school, not just the students or teachers in their own class, she wrote.
Mrs. Doan said she has fond memories of field trips to get ice cream or spend a day in the park, all within a few short blocks walk.
After thinking about all the kids, teachers, adults who went through the doors of Sherman School, the lessons learned, the memories made, I know that Sherman will be in my heart forever, she said.
Fourth-grade teacher Barbara M. Ruggeri spent the bulk of her teaching career at John F. Kennedy Elementary School, but she said she has fond memories of the three years she spent at Sherman from 1966 until 1969.
Everybody supported one another and everybody helped, she said. It was a little neighborhood and a little group of teachers. You got to know everybody really well. You got to know the kids who were coming up from third grade before they even got to fourth grade.
Even then, parents were an important part of the school fabric, she said.
There werent the discipline problems like they seem to be having today in the schools, she said. If you had a problem with a child and you sat down with the parents to talk to them, you got full support from them so you could take care of the problem.
First- and second-grade teacher Patricia L. Wilson, aside from one year substitute teaching, has been at Sherman since her student teaching days in retired second-grade teacher Nancy R. Siegels classroom 32 years ago.
Sherman School is a great little neighborhood building, she said. Im going to miss it. We have a neighbor who waves to us every morning as we pull in the driveway. Were going to miss him, and Im sure hes going to miss us.
The schools absence in the neighborhood worries Mrs. Plimpton, although she said she understands the financial pressures that prompted the school district to consolidate its elementary buildings. She said she hopes the district finds a buyer for the building.
Its hard to see another empty building in Ogdensburg, Mrs. Plimpton said. The neighborhood also has the old St. Josephs building, which is empty, and Im worried about that neighborhood.
Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said the school district will actively try to market the building so it can be put back into some kind of productive use.
He said he understands the sentiment surrounding the schools closure.
At the recent graduation ceremony, students shared their memories of the school. He said one child said if she had the money, she would buy it.
I said its a beautiful old building, but buildings dont make memories; people make memories. The people who have worked here, the children who have come through the doors, the parents, thats what makes the memories of this building, Mr. Vernsey said. All my kids went there. Its a beautiful old school, but because of the way things are, its probably time to move away from neighborhood schools, even in a small city like Ogdensburg. Its time.
City school board member Betty J. Mallott, a former principal of Sherman, echoed that sentiment. She said the expansion at Kennedy School to absorb Sherman students and students to be displaced with the closure of Lincoln Elementary School next year will result in an efficient, beautiful building.
Time moves on, and the building at Kennedy is going to be absolutely knock-your-eyes-out beautiful, she said.
She said she, too, hopes the district finds a buyer for the building.
It could make offices or nice apartments, she said. Everything is there; its just outdated for young children. I hope somebody values the history of it and the fact that it is still a sound building.
Despite uncertainty about the buildings future as Sherman School prepares to close, former educators will hold onto the happy memories the building represents for them.
We were all blessed to have had the opportunity to teach there, Mrs. Wilson said. There were so many good things that happened there. It was exciting because children were happy to be there. Thats what we wanted, for it to be a place where children loved learning, and thats what it was.

Whether it is a honeymoon, second honeymoon, a long weekend away from the kids to rekindle the sizzle of your relationship, or a first trip with your lover, where you choose to stay will make a huge difference.
Are you looking for adventure? Then convenient location will be of utmost importance to explore your surroundings.
Do you prefer solitude? Then perhaps an out of the way hideaway far from the maddening crowd is preferable.We have selected the following examples of places to stay that have great character and a reputation for delivering a honeymoon experience.
The following lists are by no means definitive; there are literally thousands of excellent hotels and resorts throughout Thailand—from cozy two star bungalows on lightly populated beach to the most lavish villas you can imagine—that can offer you the romantic experience of a lifetime.
Just because you are looking for accommodation that is easy on the wallet does not mean you have to sacrifice your holiday experience.
For decades, travelers have been coming to Thailand to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and omnipresent sunny weather.
There is much more to Thailand than sun-kissed beaches; the tropical delights extend to verdant mountains in central and northern Thailand.
Some traveling couples prefer the effervescence of the urban setting.pSome choose to stay a few days in the city while transiting to or from the beaches or mountains.
In Thailand, independent boutique hotels come in every shape and size and are thriving throughout the country.
While the world becomes more interconnected, paradoxically, getting away from civilization has never been easier.

On Monday the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the constitutional challenge filed against the Arizona immigration statute. In the decision, one of the four provisions at issue was upheld, while the remaining three were struck down.
The part of the law (Arizona State Bill 1070) upheld by the justices is that permitting law enforcement to verify the immigration status of anyone even briefly detained as a part of a routine stop.
The justices struck down the three remaining provisions of S.B. 1070 that were up for review. Those three parts of the law are:
• Making it a crime for an illegal immigrant to work or to seek work in Arizona;
• Authorizing state and local law enforcement to arrest a suspect without a warrant if the officers can show probable cause to believe that the suspect is illegally present in the state; and
• Mandating that all immigrants register with the federal government.
In the majority opinion, Justice Kennedy wrote:
The National Government has significant power to regulate immigration. With power comes responsibility, and the sound exercise of national power over immigration depends on the Nation's meeting its responsibility to base its laws on a political will informed by searching, thoughtful, rational civic discourse. Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that process continues, but the State may not pursue policies that undermine federal law.
The justices were divided in their decision, with Justice Kennedy (who wrote the majority opinion) joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor in the majority. Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito agreed with the majority in upholding the constitutionality of the one provision, but dissented from the majority's decision to strike down the remaining three parts of the Arizona statute.

THE KOVALCHUK/ISLANDERS LIVE BLOGIslanders are out; this blog ends Tuesday AM
CB at FanHouse on Islanders/Kovalchuk
10:30 pm: Katie Strang of Newsday reports that the Islanders are out of the Ilya Kovachuk sweepstakes (subscription required). She writes: "It is believed that while the Islanders' interest was legitimate, they never entered a serious stage of discussion with Kovalchuk's camp nor made an offer."
Garth Snow told Newsday, "We have interest in the top free agents now and we will in the future."
For the Islanders, it's on to a possible agreement with Matt Moulson before he goes to arbitration (he filed today). Prospect camp starts for the Islanders on Wednesday.
This Live Blog will self-destruct at some point on Tuesday morning.
11:30 am, Monday: After more than 60 hours of rumor, innuendo, some hilarious commentary in the U.S. and Canada and some strategical stretching of the truth, there is very little left to report or to say.
Some time, as early as this afternoon, but possibly not for another week or so, Ilya Kovalchuk is going to sign a contract with a hockey team. It will be with a team in the NHL, not the KHL, as I've written consistently here and at FanHouse.
Oh, there could be a report – leaked, of course – about an Islanders meeting with Kovalchuk. Rumors of other teams, not the Kings (still in it), Islanders and Devils will emerge. All of it may be fun July reading. Little of it will matter until the final decision.
If this sounds like I'm personally getting out of the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes, you would be correct. There simply is not much to cover anymore. Agent Jay Grossman, whom I know fairly well, is a private man and professional. You have not seen him quoted once since July 1. Garth Snow, whom I used to work with, does a good job of keeping his team's business quiet – the Hamhuis/Martin/Friday Night Lights show notwithstanding. When Garth has something big to say, he'll almost certainly tell it (with good reason) to the one media outlet that covers his team 365 days a year.
This site has covered all it could. Around everything else I need to turn my attention to personally and professionally, I hope to have a few stories from the Islanders' prospect camp – open Wednesday and closed to the general public except for a scrimmage on Saturday night at the Coliseum. (Tickets are $10. Go to the team site for details).
When Kovalchuk finally chooses the Islanders or another team, I expect to hear it from a Point Blank reader first. So…
One more time with feeling…
- There has never been an offer of $100 million for ten years. There doesn't have to be for the Islanders to sign Kovalchuk.
- The Islanders' interest is tied in large part to the plight of the Lighthouse Project. Kate Murray's cut-rate vision for the project will be unveiled any day now. There's an excellent chance the Town of Hempstead and Kovalchuk stories – for better and worse – could collide on the same day.
- The Islanders' interest in Kovalchuk is serious, professional and on-going. There has been contact with agent Jay Grossman beyond Garth Snow's claim of just one preliminary call at 9:00 pm on Friday.
- If the Islanders really want Kovalchuk, they can sign him.
Thanks for hanging with me these last few days. The next post in this live blog with be Kovalchuk's destination.
7:10 pm: The LA Times reports that the Kings are out, no longer willing to satisfy Ilya Kovalchuk's demands. But, of course, they are not 100% out.
Imagine you're LA general manager Dean Lombardi. You're negotiating privately, and then all of a sudden reports come seemingly out of nowhere late Friday night about the Islanders. About ten years and $100 million. If half the hockey world is skeptical, how do you think Lombardi felt.
The Kings, like everyone else, is positioning. Lombardi is saying two can play that game. You know that if Jay Grossman calls him back, the GM is going to take the call. Lombardi is a smooth operator. For the time being, he has decided he didn't want to be operated on.
Nevertheless, this is good news for the Islanders, Devils and any other teams interested in adding the supreme goal scorer to their roster. Lombardi claims the Kings are out. Garth Snow is only on record as saying the Islanders are in.
2:45 pm, Sunday: On this beautiful Fourth of July, there is only one thing to know about the Islanders and Ilya Kovachuk. If Charles Wang really wants the all-star right wing, he can get him.
Kovalchuk has yet to be blown away by any offers. If he was, most notably from Los Angeles and New Jersey, he would have signed by now. Wang and the Islanders have the cap floor space. This is the money they are going to have to spend anyway. Are they going to spread it around instead to more third-liners and fifth defensemen? If the Islanders truly have the desire to make Kovalchuk a Lighthouse Project impact statement and a Roman Candle to the slow and steady rebuild, they can.
There is no offer of $100 million for ten years. There doesn't have to be. What Wang and Garth Snow must produce – again, if they want Kovalchuk in the orange and blue for his prime years – is an offer Kovalchuk and Jay Grossman cannot refuse. Make them an offer so strong, the agent wouldn't waste his time shopping it to Lou Lamoriello and Dean Lombardi. Make them an offer max-capppers like Paul Holmgren and Glen Sather could not even try to match.
It doesn't have to be for $10 million a year.
For now, enjoy your Fourth of July. Maybe the Fifth, too. There will probably be just two more entries in this running live blog: a final thought tomorrow, and then – whenever it may be – the news of Kovalchuk's destination (if I'm around a computer when Katie or Dregs or Pierre or Larry or someone else breaks it).
Time will tell why Wang authorized Snow to confirm to the media on Friday night that he made the phone calls to Grossman. For what it's worth, I don't know if the Islanders will land the big fish – four out of five top-level reporters surveyed say Ilya will go to LA – but I'm confident that Wang's interest in Kovalchuk is pure and legitimate.
All anyone needs to know is, if he wants to be All Ilyalanders, Charles Wang can make it happen.
12:15 am, Saturday: Oh yeah, this is already in the nutso stage. The Kovalchuk-Islanders blockbuster reports first crashed Twitter at 10:15 tonight. In a story just posted at Newsday, the very reliable Katie Strang has Garth Snow on the record saying he only made a "preliminary" call around 9:00 tonight. Amazing how one preliminary call led to reports of the Islanders considering offers of $100 million less than an hour and a half later.
My information, as written at FanHouse, is that Snow's first inquiry about Kovalchuk came earlier than tonight. Oh no, I may get hit with another "totally ficticious" label.
12:35 am: Interesting that, just as Kovalchuk-to-the-Islanders hysteria sweeps the land, Garth Snow dials it down in his interview with Newsday, saying his contact was merely doing "due diligence." This is not what others have been told.
1:15 am: It's not like the Islanders are playing around to drive up the price for a rival like the Rangers. The biggest bidder is likely Los Angeles. Knowing the respect Garth Snow has for Lou Lamoriello, he also wouldn't be looking to totally screw over the Devils. Again, I cannot see the Islanders taking their fans down this path and falling way short.
1:40: Probably the last note for the night, since I'm fairly certain the Islanders' executive offices at the Coliseum emptied out long ago. Not to be Captain Obvious, but it should be understood that anything that has happened and will happen regarding the Islanders and Ilya Kovalchuk, is all from Charles Wang. The owner negotiated Alexei Yashin's contract, he proposed the idea for the landmark deal for Rick DiPietro. Today, he is as involved as he ever has been. Fact: he worked the draft table last weekend as much as any of the scouts.
No, Garth Snow did not wake up on Friday morning and think, "Here's an idea: let's see what it would take to sign Kovalchuk"! No matter how this Ilya adventure plays out, know for better or for worse that this is the work of Charles Wang.
****(On a personal note, my family finally moves into a new home on Saturday. I'll get on this story as much as I can, so I'm sure you'll regularly check your other main sources. Hey, when I got married, it turned out to be between rounds 1 and 2 of the '93 playoffs. We thought the date was safe when we booked it).
9:15 am: Did that all really happen last night? Helene Elliott writing the Islanders are close to a deal with Ilya Kovalchuk…Darren Dreger saying the Islanders are willing to bid huge…Garth Snow confirming to Pierre LeBrun that his team is in play…Twitter exploding at 10:15, yet Garth telling Newsday he only made an initial, "preliminary" call at 9:00…The email I received and subsequent conversations with insiders telling me the Islanders began reaching out to agent Jay Grossman way before 9:00 Friday night.
Yes, I guess it did. Sobering up (I mean me), the estimable Dreger still thinks Kovalchuk is going to LA.
As I'm sure most of you know, there comes a point when reporters start asking colleagues questions of insiders on background. I woke up this morning to several texts, emails and Twitter DMs from writers, talk show hosts and studio analysts are asking a varation on this:
Are the Islanders really in on Kovalchuk, or is this just an agent creating a marketplace?
My answer: Garth Snow is on record saying they are. If it turns out to just be transparent PR shenanigans to help an agent, give another team psuedo competition or a lame attempt to make themselves look good, the Islanders would be crucified.
No, I really find it hard to believe that's the game the Islanders are playing. I thought the leaking of supposedly strong offers for Martin and Hamhuis was beyond lame – and getting agents to back them up – was sadly obvious and regrettable. But that's old news. The Islanders are in play for a six-time 40-goal scorer now, not a pair of unfalsh defensemen. No way they do this to their fanbase.
9:20: Correction to what I'm seeing from commenters: agent Grossman has not created the buzz about his client to the Islanders. Garth Snow went on record to ESPN confirming he is in play for Kovalchuk. That's the buzz.
12:48, The New Home Office: This might not seem like much, but I feel that it is. More than 14 hours after the news first broke on Twitter about the Islanders being interested in Ilya Kovalchuk, there has been a record amount of guesses advertised as breaking-news and a few lies told for the benefit of positioning.
All that said, know this about the Islanders' interest in Kovalchuk: it is legitimate and sincere. It is also on-going. Maybe three people associated with the Islanders are in on it. You know who they are: Charles Wang, Garth Snow and possibly a capologist/numbers cruncher. By now, you should know the notion of a coaching staff and scouts sitting around the Coliseum going, "Hmm…let's see…do we want Kovalchuk? What impact would he have on our young players? What would our top lines look like?"…let's just say – like the drafting of Kirill Kabanov, that's not what's going on.
Of course, Charles Wang should be involved in this one. You're looking at a transaction of somewhere between $50 and $120 million – all of it his money.
Bottom line, the Islanders are in this to sign Ilya Kovalchuk. More on this later. I have at least one significant tidbit of information I'd like to get confirmation on from a second source. Confident I will.
4:45 pm: Is it worth tens of millions of dollars to Charles Wang to announce the acquisition of a franchise-shifting NHL all-star like Ilya Kovalchuk during a week when Kate Murray is expected to unveil her vision for what can be developed on the Nassau Coliseum property? It very well could be.
Sources confirm that the Islanders' pursuit of the two-time 50-goal scorer is inextricably linked to the status of the Lighthouse Project. As much as the Islanders know how much the addition of Kovalchuk will lead to victories on the ice – for the cost of a contract, not players and draft picks – Wang sees his acquisition as the ultimate statement in the battle to obtain off-the-charts Islanders fan support and convince the Town of Hempstead to work with him and keep the Islanders in Nassau County. Build the team, and they will come.
In other words, the initial tweet of TSN's Darren Dreger – "Wang needs more star power to get his arena project pushed forward" – was dead-on.
Now the question is, what is Kovalchuk's timing versus Wang's? Can Kovalchuk and his agent wait for Wang's offer, or does he take the best offer in the next day or so from Los Angeles or New Jersey or any other mystery teams out there? Kovalchuk and agent Jay Grossman appear to be taking their time. Kovalchuk is by far the best free agent forward available – and is arguably superior to anyone available on the open market a year from now, it's worth pointing out.
(To be clear, despite reports of the Islanders already having $100 million for ten years on the table for Kovalchuk, I have not confirmed the existence of a solid offer by the team.)
Consistent with how the Islanders played negotiations with Dan Hamhuis and Paul Martin, details of the Islanders' offer will eventually be made known to a media outlet. This time, the Islanders hope it comes with the successful reeling in of the biggest fish in this year's market.
Make no mistake: the timing of the Kovalchuk/Islanders news with Supervisor Murray's any-day-now Lighthouse push-back is the story here. To Wang and the Islanders, Kovalchuk is about winning hockey games and taking a leap in what was a slow and steady rebuild. But he's about so much more.
Entries from Friday Night into Saturday Morning
10:30 pm: Well, this is fascinating, no matter how it shakes out. Just as I'm alerted to Darren Dreger's tweet about the Islanders supposedly making a push for Ilya Kovalchuk, I notice the highly-respected Helene Elliott of the LA Times tweets something similar. Worth noting that Helene writes about the Kings, considered one of the frontrunners for Kovalchuk.
So I sit down to write about this for Point Blank, and I get this email from a major power broker in the industry:
Just a heads up, Wang and Snow are making a huge push to grab Kovalchuk. They are $9M under the floor and Charles believes signing Kovy will be the catalyst for finally getting the Lighthouse approved.
Pretty wild. Guy has my cellphone number. Sends an email to the Point Blank web address. To be candid with you, I love the guy, but for a second it sorta felt like I was being played. Turns out I wasn't.
Because then Garth Snow texted Pierre LeBrun to confirm the Islanders are bidding for Kovalchuk.
What does it all mean? Well, for starters, Kovalchuk and his agent, Jay Grossman, now may have an additional bidder for the star's services.
If you're an Islanders follower, you have to be intrigued. If Charles Wang was okay with giving $30 million to an unflashy defenseman like Dan Hamhuis, what's $80 million for an every-season 40-goal scorer?
10:55 pm: Here's what I'm wrestling with. I love Kovalchuk as a player. Would be ecstatic if he came here for Charles Wang's money. Even acknowledging the Islanders would be better, does Ilya Kovalchuk get a $4 billion mega real estate development done?
The timing is fascinating. This comes out on a Friday night, Fourth of July weekend, when Kate Murray's vision for the Lighthouse is expected to be unveiled any day now.
11:38: As I just wrote on Twitter, I don't see the Islanders taking their fans down this road and then coming up way short. Charles Wang knows he cannot do that. So does Garth.
11:40: Working on a story for FanHouse, with some new information, that should be up around midnight. Will link here, and start new entries at the top of this post.

Kinda wacky. I agree with the person who said they should be sold in sets though. I just know you're going to make them too expensive for me to want to buy more than one.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Cute, but price them right, since you would have to buy more than one for it to work as described.
Vote: Thumbs down!
made in china again? i shop here to avoid that.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Make it in the USA and sell them in a set of 3 - then I'm sold! Great idea, although I thought I've seen this before??
Vote: Thumbs up!
I think they're aDORable. Although it would definitely be fun to have more than one, they're cute enough just as they are to be a regular standalone stuffed animal.
Vote: Thumbs up!
I agree about selling them in multiples of some kind. Though they are super cute regardless!
Vote: Thumbs down!
Make these in the United States and I would support this.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Although I have to agree that it is not fun to have just one animal, and would like to see them sold in more a minimum of a pair; they are ridiculously adorable, with a child's frame of mind in thought when designing!!! What child doesn't like to take things apart? Love it!
Vote: Thumbs down!
Buy local, be local. Like the idea, loathe that it's made in China. Plus they should be sold in sets, or have a slight discount for buying more than one at a time.
Mary Rose
Vote: Thumbs up!
adorable, cuddly
Vote: Thumbs up!
Vote: Thumbs up!
Very cute - if affordable enough to buy several. What would be the point of just one?
Vote: Thumbs down!
I agree that they should be sold in sets of three.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Also agree should probably be in sets...
Vote: Thumbs up!
Better to sell in sets. No fun if you have just one.
Vote: Thumbs up!
So clever.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Might sell...but they aren't Transformers!
Vote: Thumbs down!
You should concentrate on not made in China but the idea is cute.
Vote: Thumbs up!
I love, love, love these! Might have to buy them for my grown-up self!
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love the concept..but should be sold as a set.One piece doesn't really define the purpose of the toy.
Vote: Thumbs up!
As long as zippers are easy to manipulate, a great idea!
Vote: Thumbs down!
To me, unattractive, not inviting, too complicated. Who is the target audience? Would they know how to work the zippers?Would rather get Beanie Babies or something.
Vote: Thumbs down!
too much of this stuff already available
Carol Lee
Vote: Thumbs down!
Not made in U.S.A.
Vote: Thumbs down!
Needs to be sold in a set.
I agree about them being sold in sets.
I work with kids and I'm always encouraging them to interact with each other, share and create stuff together. These seem perfect.
I have some of these and they are the most fun! I love them. Very fun to play with and really cute. But you have to buy at least two.
I swear I've just seen these somewhere. They're cute, but not much fun if you only have 1. Hopefully each one isn't so expensive that you could buy multiples.
So cute! Hoping they do come as a set! I want the froggy for sure!
They seem really long for a child...

'We used to get helium any time ... now we're on a weekly call'
EUGENE, Ore. -- Securing a Valentine's Day staple for your sweetheart might be harder to get your hands on this year as the nation faces a shortage of helium.
While businesses around the area are already seeing the effects of the U.S. gas shortage, Dandelions Flowers and Gifts in Eugene said that they are prepared for the upcoming holiday.
"It is a little bit surprising to our customers that … during the last few months, we've run out of helium and our suppliers don't have any helium available for us," said Shirley Lyons, the owner of Dandelions.
There are limited amounts of the gas commercially produced, and more and more of it is being put to use in medical and technical fields.
This means that the helium supply to some businesses that sell balloons has become more limited.
Lyons' business specializes in mainly floral arrangements and flowers, so she says she isn't too worried about the helium shortage.
"We used to get helium any time we wanted. That has changed to now, we're on a weekly call in for our helium," said Lyons.
For now, Lyons said that she's got her bases covered, and they're ready for Valentine's Day.
"We've already secured our extra helium. They happen to have additional helium this week," said Lyons. "We are going to take that tank in advance so we are prepared for the upcoming holiday."

GOUVERNEUR - When she found out that the state Office of Mental Health wants to close child inpatient services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Jamie Dafoe Weber launched into action and began circulating an online petition to keep the services local.
Its extremely personal to us, Mrs. Weber said.
The petition on change.org has already garnered more than 5,200 signatures.
The mother of a son who has dealt with mental health issues since he was seven years old, Mrs. Weber said having inpatient services local was critical to ensuring her son had the level of care he needed.
It was very scary and very overwhelming, she said, recalling the first time she had to take her son to the psychiatric center to help treat his depression. Over the course of the years hes received inpatient services half a dozen times.
Mrs. Weber said having the psychiatric center close to home made the process easier on the family as at least one family member was able to visit her son every day he was receiving care.
The proposal by OMH will see child inpatient care services moved to Utica, a two-hour drive south from Gouverneur, and Mrs. Weber said that will put a lot of stress on families and individuals who are already hurting.
I know personally sitting in an emergency room - if I knew he was going to Utica I dont think we would seek the same care, she said.
Having her son in Utica would have prevented daily visits, she said, and would have made him feel as if the family was abandoning him.
People shouldnt be put in that position, Mrs. Weber said. Our area has a high unemployment rate already. People dont have the resources that they might have in a larger area [to travel].
The petition has caught fire with hundreds of people signing it every week.
I just felt compelled to do something because weve used the services of the facility many times over the years, Mrs. Weber said.
And although the petition hasnt been formally delivered to OMH yet, Mrs. Weber is confident they are aware of it because the petition is set up to email their office every time someone signs it.
Unless theyve blocked the account Mrs. Weber said OMH is getting literally thousands of emails supporting the psychiatric center.
The petition has been online for several months but until this week Mrs. Weber was not working with the Psychiatric Center Task Force that has been fighting the proposal by OMH.
When she started the petition Mrs. Weber said she wasnt even aware of the task force. But now she said she plans on attending planning meetings and hopes the task force will be able to help ensure her petition is effective and gets to the right people.
Eventually, she said, the petition will be printed out and sent to key decision makers.
Ogdensburg City Manager and Task Force Member John M. Pinkerton said the petition is an invaluable tool in the battle to save the psychiatric center.
People from everywhere are expressing their concern about the closure of this psych center, he said.
In addition to signing the petition, people have also been leaving hundreds of descriptions of why they support the psychiatric center.
Mrs. Weber said, There are an awful lot of people who are touched by mental illness.
Anyone who wants to sign the petition, titled New York State Office of Mental Health: Keep St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Open with Full Facilities, can go online to change.org and search for it.

CHATANOOGA, Tenn.-Both the men's and women's tennis teams arrived back in Nashville on Sunday with added experience for the 2012-13 season after competing in the Steve Baras Fall Classic at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
"Heading into the UTC tournament this weekend on both the guys and the girls sides we wanted to continue to work on our mentality in making sure we were in the right mind frame to compete," Harris said.
Harris believes the women's team made important steps in the right direction.
"Our ladies did do a better job of progressing and working on their games individually," Harris said. "We continue to improve on the doubles side which is a big aspect of what we need to address before heading into the spring."
Harris also believes that the men's team needs to refine some key skills in the weeks ahead.
"On the guys' side continuous development in our stroke production is greatly needed for where we are right now," Harris said. "Mario Hernandez will be working with the guys to make sure we are addressing the correct technique on certain strokes."
Both teams will venture to Clemson, S.C., to play in the Duckworth Classic on Oct. 12-15.

Cranston West Swims past Vets
The Warwick Vets swim team got two victories from Katie Evans, but those weren't enough to overcome a strong Cranston West squad on Monday afternoon. The Falcons took first and second in nine events en route to a 69-18 win.
Evans won the 100 butterfly in 1:09.65 and took the 500 free in 6:06.10. Michaela Sczuroski, Rebecca Beer and Ashley Gardner all had third-place finishes for Vets.
The 'Canes had more luck in their previous meet, beating Shea 46-32 for their first win.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how easy it is for female HIV- positive subjects taking Complera to comply with the dietary requirement using a food diary in the short term (4 weeks) and long term (24 weeks and 48 weeks) and to determine association between calorie intake and virologic suppression. A secondary goal of the study is to evaluate subjects' attitudes towards contraception.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
HIV positive females ≥ 18 years of age who are currently on Complera with suppressed viral load (VL) defined as having VL <50 copies/ml in the 6 months prior to study entry and no known resistance to FTC, TDF, or rilpivirine. Subjects may or may not be of child bearing potential.

No, this isn't the 1963 movie.
The scene is set in Cortez Villas in Bradenton where two red-shouldered hawks have been dive-bombing residents of a retirement community.
Some residents of Cortez Villas are using umbrellas to protect their heads from a pair of hawks that are nesting a fledgling in a 40-foot tree.
One woman received a 4-inch scratch on her scalp. Another had to go to the hospital and get a rabies shot. A third was attacked when she walked to her mailbox.
Although community leaders would like officials to relocate the nest, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission experts say nothing can be done.
The birds are a protected species and it's a federal penalty to destroy the nest.
Officials say birds diving at people are common this time of the year.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
"We don't get very many young senior citizens," declared Gerald Anderson. His choice of words was not an oxymoron.
He was talking with the county commission Wednesday about attendance at the new Senior Center. Anderson thinks that adding an industrial shop at the Fairgrounds facility would attract more of the barely-over-60 crowd.
He said he knew the commission was concerned about liability issues where power tools are concerned, but noted that people over 60 routinely use the county motocross track and sometimes compete in events like team roping at the rodeo arena. Woodworking and decorative metal work are fine hobbies, and with improved safety features on such tools as table saws, risk has been reduced.
Anderson, who taught high school shop for 38 years, even brought a short video infomercial showing how a modern table saw blade can stop almost instantaneously when it senses skin, producing only a nick instead of an amputation in case of an accident.
Nevertheless, the commission was not swept away by the idea.
Commissioner Mike Milovich, while allowing that craftsmanship is good recreation, ran down the list of negatives.
There are no spaces at the Senior Center that could be converted into a shop, so there would have to be a new building for it.
In addition to the brick and mortar, the county would have to pay an instructor to be on hand for safety and training.
The county might be asked to stock an inventory of wood and metal.
How much extra would insurance cost, assuming that the county could find a carrier to provide coverage?
Finally, given the propensity for sawdust to migrate, upkeep at the Senior Center could get more expensive as well.
It would also mean that the Recreation/Transportation Special Service District would have to reapply to the Community Impact Board for additional funding. Given that the CIB already awarded about $7.2 million in grants and loans, Milovich said, "My sense is that it would be pretty tough to do."
Leather working, on the other hand, would fit in the existing facility. It might, said Anderson, as long as it could be scheduled so as not to disturb any other activities at the center. There's a lot of pounding involved, he explained.
