Waking up on Christmas morning to the sight of a bicycle underneath the tree is a privilege many children, but not all, enjoy.
That was the thought that dawned on Richard J. Denny II, operations manager at Empire Recycling Corp., as he watched people unload old bicycles along with heaps of scrap metal at the Watertown facility, 511 Pearl St., which opened in October. The Pulaski resident had recently heard about a Syracuse-based charity program that repairs used bicycles to give to children in low-income families for Christmas.
"As I saw the bikes come in here, I thought maybe we could bring them down there for the kids and set them aside," he said. "The owner thought it was a great idea."
Mr. Denny soon hatched a plan to truck bicycles dropped off at the scrap plant — some in a state of disrepair — to Syracuse for the Central New York Family Bicycle Giveaway, the nonprofit group that runs the program. The organization, which gave away 3,500 bicycles to children in the Syracuse area, needs about 1,000 more to meet its quota before Christmas.
Mr. Denny, who will make a trip to Syracuse this week to donate about 30 bicycles collected since November, hopes leaders in Watertown can collaborate to establish a similar program in the future. Bicycles will continue to be collected at Empire until Friday to benefit the program.
"I would love to help get a program here started," he said.
Jan T. Maloff, who launched the Syracuse program 17 years ago, said he was pleasantly surprised to get a call from the Watertown facility.
The thousands of bicycles given to needy children every season have brought much joy to their lives over the years. Recipients range from youngsters who need training wheels to high schoolers who get 18-speed bicycles and even low-income parents.
"To get a call from people who set aside these bicycles in Watertown is tremendous," the 57-year-old said. "Getting a bicycle is a rite of passage for children. We help parents who can't afford them. Exercise is also important for children with childhood obesity being such a problem today."
Donated bicycles are housed temporarily during the fall at the New York State Fairgrounds, where volunteers repair them. They'll be given to local families Dec. 22.
Donations to benefit the nonprofit foundation may be mailed to Central New York Family Bicycle Giveaway, 319 Barrington Road, Syracuse, N.Y. 13214.

The Halloween season provides an excuse for revelers to get a little crazy with costumes, stepping outside their comfort zone.
Partygoers and young trick-or-treaters had hundreds of outfits to choose from this year in Watertown at Party Rentals, 780 W. Main St., and Halloween City, 1125 Arsenal St. Kathleen E. and Paul G. Carr surprised their friends by transforming themselves into a convincing Cleopatra and Pharaoh for a Halloween party Saturday at the Crescent Yacht Club in Chaumont. Mrs. Carr wore a wig draped with gold beads, while her husband, taller, wore a head scarf featuring a symbol of the Egyptian king.
It was the first year at the annual party that the couple wore costumes, said Mrs. Carr, who returned the outfits Tuesday to Party Rentals.
If this wig had been made with real gold, like Cleopatras, it would have been incredibly heavy, she said, holding up the glitzy item.
Costume hunters will notice an array of new costumes rolled out this season by Party Rentals, including a giant squirrel with a pair of acorns, a turkey, a giraffe, a lobster, a football and a massive double cheeseburger, which no one has been brave enough yet to wear. On average, the rental costumes are about $20 apiece.
Business has slowed here compared with last year, employee Kim M. Brislan said, but she expects a surge in customers as Halloween nears. Prices have been dropped this season to compete with Halloween City. The most expensive outfits are now $35 apiece; they used to be $65.
Most of the parties were last weekend, because Halloween is in the middle of the week, she said. But everyone waits until the last minute to get costumes.
Though its rarely chosen by partygoers, employee Dot A. Derrigo said, one of the quirkiest costumes depicts a dark-brown cockroach with tentacles.
Ive been trying for years to get one of the county health inspectors to wear this, but he doesnt think it would be funny, she said.
On Tuesday at Halloween City, Alexandria Bay resident Jay T. Kittle was initially at a loss, costume-wise. But as an employee guided the 35-year-old through the store, he whittled down his search to two outfits. He first considered buying a high-tech space-alien mask with an automatic talking mouth that is triggered by scanning a QR code with a smartphone. But after hearing the boisterous response of his wife, Nicole E., when he tried on a mask portraying President Obama, his choice was made easy. He bought it for $9.99.
Im dressing up for work on Halloween, said Mr. Kittle, an employee at Bay Spirits liquor store on Route 12 in Alexandria Bay.
Masks also feature former politicians Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, with the latter on clearance for $10. Another mask depicting President Obama includes a talking mic featuring zany campaign quotes. One , for example, says: I love this neighborhood, but where exactly am I?
This season, superheroes and outfits for popular television shows are in high demand among children. Ernest H. Brown, 11, was looking for a long fake beard and eyeglasses to dress like one of the duck hunters who star in Duck Dynasty, a reality television series on A&E. The shows features the lives of the Robertson family from Louisiana.
I want to be the guy on the show named Si, he said. His role is being goofy.

Video: Ali Mohamad Mohamud Trial: Defense Opening Statements
Video: Ali Mohamad Mohamud Trial: Prosecution Opening Part 2
Video: Ali Mohamad Mohamud Trial: Prosecution Opening Part 1
Video: Trial of Buffalo Man Accused of Killing Stepson Underway
BUFFALO, NY - Opening statements are taking place Monday morning in the trial of a Buffalo man who is accused of brutally murdering his 10-year-old stepson.
Prosecutors say Ali Mohamad Mohamud confessed to tying up and beating Abdi to death with a rolling pin in the basement of their Guilford Street home back in April. The medical examiner said the boy had been hit at least 70 times.
Erie County Assistant District Attorney John Feroleto made the opening statement for the prosecution, speaking to the jury for about 20 minutes. He said it is a simple case: the defendant intentionally murdered his stepson.
"Abdi was alive for every single blow," said Feroleto, "every moment of that horrific assault."
Defense Attorney Lana Tipchik then proceeded with her opening statement, reminding the jury repeatedly that Mr. Mohamud is to be presumed innocent. "What you just heard proves nothing except the prosecution's intent."
Once opening statements were delivered, the first witness called by the prosecution was Olive Ndayishimiye. She is the neighbor who helped Ali Mohamad Mohamud catch up to Abdifatah and convinced him to come home. She said she did all she could to help and had no way of knowing what might happen. Feroleto asked if Ali looked angry. She replied "No, he looked upset and tired."
Next on the stand was Abdifatah's brother, Hussein Waris, who described arriving at the home on the evening of February 17th after getting a call that Abdi was missing. He went to the basement and saw Abdifatah's foot sticking out from under a blanket, and a pool of blood. Waris testified, "I said he did it, he killed Abdi", breaking down into tears.
Around 3 p.m. the trial was delayed. Abdi's mother, Shukri Bile, was on the stand when family members complained that the translator was not accurately conveying her testimony. The trial was postponed as the court decided how to proceed.
Bile spent in total, about 2 hours on the stand, breaking down several times as she described her son and the day he died. Bile also told the court that the defendant sent her a letter from the Holding Center. She said she threw it away, but when asked to recall what it said, Bile said Mohamud wrote 'What happened, I did it. I didn't mean to do it. From God's will, I need your forgiveness."
Mohamud faces 25 years to life in prison, if convicted.
Final jury selection was completed Friday.

Updated: Gee on DL with blood clot, rotation adjusted
Dillon Gee will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a clot in the artery in his right shoulder.
4:45 pm: Terry Collins told reporters in Kansas City that Chris Young will start in Gee's place on Friday. However, according to David Lennon of Newsday, Collins also said Monday's off day could mean they use Miguel Batista in place of Gee the next time through the rotation, all of which will depend on how Young is feeling after his start on Friday.
As far as possibly calling up Matt Harvey to replace Gee is concerned, Collins told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com that, while Harvey is a long-term candidate for the rotation, the Mets not going to add Harvey right now.
"I don't want to put him in a situation where he can fail," Collins explained.
Lastly, according to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Collins said the team will likely be promoting a relief pitcher in time for Friday night's game in Atlanta, which, according to DiComo, will likely be Josh Edgin or Robert Carson.
To see previous updates from this post,
3:55 pm: Anthony DiComo of MLB.com says Miguel Batista will join the rotation next Wednesday against the Nationals.
[jbox color="gray"]
1:42 pm: Mike Puma of the New York Post says Matt Harvey is not considered an option to replace Gee in the rotation at this time.
11:58 am: In a press release, the Mets said doctors at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital used a catheter to break up Gee's clot, and he will remain hospitalized for the next couple of days to ensure the issue is completely resolved.
Gee's timetable to return is currently undetermined.
On Sunday, Gee complained of having numbness in his fingers in his right hand. He allowed a run on seven hits in eight innings against the Cubs this past Saturday.
Gee is 6-7 with a 4.10 ERA in 17 starts so far this season.
From a pitching perspective, the Mets have an off-day working in their favor. It's possible Terry Collins could use a four-man rotation for now, which would mean they only need a fifth starter once between now and when Gee is eligible to come back (assuming Gee is out the minimal amount of time). Of course, that depends on Gee his ability to recover, but if that's the case, they could opt to use a spot starter with someone currently on the 40-man roster, and then see what the status is with Gee.
A lot of fans have already called for the Mets to call-up Matt Harvey. I'd be hesitant to resort to that option right now – it's a lot to ask of him to immediately adjust to the Major Leagues and be dependable and consistent in the middle of a pennant race. He also isn't on the 40-man roster yet, and so making such a decision without knowing how long Gee will be out might end up causing more harm than good for both Harvey and their roster flexibility going forward.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/4 hr
TOTAL TIME: 2 1/4 hr
- 1 1/4 lb skinless cod, scrod, or gray sole fillets, well chilled
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 large egg white
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons salmon roe
- Special equipment: a 4-cup terrine mold or loaf pan; a tamis (drum sieve) with 30 to 40 holes per square centimeter*; a slightly flexible bowl scraper; a kitchen scale; an offset spatula; an instant-read thermometer
- Accompaniment:beurre blanc
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Oil terrine mold and line bottom with a sheet of wax paper (cut to fit), then oil paper.
Remove any visible silver skin or sinew from fish and cut on either side of pin bones until all pin bones have been removed, then cut fish into 1-inch pieces. Purée fish with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg in a food processor until very smooth. Add egg white and purée until incorporated, then transfer mixture to a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice.
Set tamis, screen side up, over a plate and work fish mixture through sieve about 2 tablespoons at a time with scraper until all that remains is sinews. Continue to work fish through sieve, scraping strained fish from underside of tamis from time to time and transferring to a large bowl set in another bowl of ice.
Weigh strained fish to determine equal amount of cream (1 cup cream weighs 8 ounces). Then, keeping fish mixture over ice, stir cream into fish mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, with a large rubber spatula until all cream is incorporated.
Transfer one fourth of mixture to a small bowl and stir in dill. Gently fold salmon roe into remaining fish mixture.
Spread about two thirds of roe mixture in terrine and create a wide trough lengthwise along the middle with back of a spoon. Fill trough with dill mixture, mounding it slightly and smoothing surface. Cover with remaining roe mixture and rap mold firmly on counter to compact terrine. Smooth top with offset spatula and cover surface with an oiled sheet of wax paper (oiled side down).
Bake in awater bath until terrine is firm to the touch and separates easily from sides of mold and thermometer inserted diagonally through paper into center of terrine registers 110 to 120°F (a metal skewer or thin knife plunged to bottom of terrine for 5 seconds and removed will feel hot), 40 to 45 minutes.
Transfer terrine in mold to a rack and let cool 10 to 15 minutes before unmolding.
To unmold, remove wax paper and run a thin knife around inside edge of mold. Invert a cutting board or serving dish over terrine, then reinvert and remove mold and wax paper, blotting any excess liquid. Cut terrine into slices with a sharp knife, supporting each slice as cut with a flat metal spatula and transferring as cut to small plates.

Cooks' note: Terrine may be assembled, but not baked, 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
This past weekend I got a email describing all the reasons a Muslim can't be a good American. And of course it went on to talk about Barack Obama, his connection to the Muslim religion and then the email ended with something like "Support our troops."
The analysis was an interesting but a largely false disection of the Muslim religion. In fact so much of it was fear mongering, that I am not going to go into detail. I have a number of Muslim associates, all of whom are American and none of whom feel they would adhere to much of what was said in that email as their beliefs.
As for the things in it about Obama, all were false. I checked it out on Snopes.com for the truth. One point in the email said that Muslims cannot be friends with people from other religions nor can they tolerate other religions. It basically stated that Muslims contend that no other religion than theirs is the true religion. That's really not that odd because I can name very few religions that don't think that they are the only true believers.
Now I am not particularly an Obama supporter, but just someone who believes in the truth. Sarah Palin has also come under attacks that are false in many ways too. She may have made mistakes on some stuff and tried to cover up her lack of knowledge on others, but she is not the blood thirsty neo-conservative many are making her out to be. She's just a home grown girl who doesn't have an Ivy League education so some in the media and political circles are taking her to the woodshed when she makes a mistake or has a life experience they don't understand.
As for religion, it has already been an issue for years. Mitt Romney, who was running before he got knocked out early in the primaries during this election cycle was roasted for being a Mormon and people questioned whether he could be a good president because they wondered if his allegiance would be to the president of the LDS church instead of the country.
The same was said of John Kennedy when he ran in 1960. People worried the Pope would be running the country instead of an Irish American from Massachusetts.
It's all the same thing. Bigotry works in many ways and some of those ways are very comfortable to the masses who believe everything they read on the internet or in the tabloids.
This is the problems I see with the internet and a lot of what is posted on it through websites and emails; no ethics, no verifiable sources, no editorial control, with many people using it to expouse what they think is fact when they have no proof other than suspicion and often bigotry. Opinion on the internet gets mixed with facts continually. And many pieces contain more than opinion; they contain fear.
I saw another email the other day that came to our office about all this negative rhetoric that Obama supposedly said about the United States, our flag and his non-allegiance to our system of government on Meet the Press in September. It was reportedly written by a man who is a columnist with the Washington Post. I checked it out and no one at the Post knows who the guy is. On top of that, Obama was not on Meet the Press (or Face the Nation which some claim he said it on) in September. The entire email was totally false yet I had people running around the office waving their arms and yelling about how terrible Obama is.
While it has taken a lot of time, I have been responding to almost everyone who sends me these kinds of emails with questions and corrections. The truth is more important than anything else in this world and I just want people to weigh all the real facts and then make up their minds about people and their beliefs.
That is what journalists are taught in good journalism schools around the country to do. Present the true facts and then let the public decide for themselves. It seems to me many internet posters have been taught by the National Enquirer school of journalism, where with only a little information about a situation, they go off half cocked and make suppositions that when examined, don't fit the facts.
Finally, people should always question what they read, see or hear, regardless of where it appears. Just because it has a journalists name on it, or it is in a well -known publication doesn't mean everything is always correct.
It's time to start looking for the truth, not falsehoods or sensationalism or what some of us want to believe. Spin from the candidates camps, or groups who support certain kinds of agendas, seldom hold much honesty.
Relative truth, which is what most of them expouse, is not real truth.

OGDENSBURG The city may eliminate a problematic housing program in 2013, now that a state funding agency gave it permission to move income from the sale of houses elsewhere.
After a state Homes and Community Renewal decision that Neighborhood Stabilization Program income can be used in other city housing initiatives, Ogdensburg has an opportunity to close out its program.
Previously, NSP program income went back into the NSP but now that income is insufficient to keep up with NSP goals and objectives, which is to fully rehabilitate houses, said Andrea L. Smith, interim city planner.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program is a vestige of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act designed to renovate derelict homes using grant money, then sell them at reduced cost to low- and moderate-income families.
Money from the sale of program houses went back into the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, requiring it be used again within the programs parameters. City Council members said it would be difficult to end a program that replenished itself.
Ogdensburg has three houses remaining in the program. One, 505 New York Ave., is slated for demolition this month.
It is set to be substantially complete by Jan. 15, Ms. Smith said. We do have to do asbestos abatement. That is the first thing that has to happen.
The work will be done by Bronze Contracting of Remsen for a sum not to exceed $39,895.
Two other city-owned Neighborhood Stabilization Program houses, at 2 Grove St. and 113 Adams Ave., are slated to be sold. After a public appeal for more qualified applicants, Ms. Smith said, her department is working with potential buyers for both properties.
Were working with two qualified buyers, one for 113 Adams and one for 2 Grove, she said.
Ms. Smith said all Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds are slated to be spent.
Until we actually close on our last two remaining properties and complete the demolition at 505 New York Avenue, all of the funds wont be closed down, she said. The goal is to have the demolition and the two sales closed on by Jan. 31.
Another program house, at 819 Knox St., was sold in October.
The program, administered by housing firm C.W. Augustine of DeKalb Junction, ended up causing big trouble in the city. After thousands of dollars were used to renovate deteriorating houses, it was revealed that a family had lived rent- and tax-free for three years in one house.
Later, problems with incomplete repairs, property selection and the sale of the houses arose. Those issues led to the resignation of one city official and played a role in the firing of another.
Ms. Smith said the program could be closed out in 2013, but in the meantime, C.W. Augustine will continue in its administrative role.

Students in the REACH / Student Support Services program will receive personal academic advising and planning. Our counselors will meet with you one-on-one to discuss your career and life goals and develop a plan for your academic program, graduation, and/or transfer.
Our philosophy in the REACH program is that if you know your career track and your goals, you will be more successful in your program of studies. However, if you do not know, we have the expertise to assist you in finding a career that is a good match for your personality and talents. We will be happy to help you in determining the correct path for you.
Transferring is a process, not a single act of enrolling in a four-year college or university. There are many factors involved in choosing a transfer institution: location, campus personality, majors offered, academic reputation, selectivity, and cost. Start meeting with the Transfer Specialist in REACH/Student Support Services early to discuss your transfer options and narrow down your choice of schools. The courses you take at VWCC will depend on your transfer plans. Plan to apply to least three schools; be aware of deadlines. Work with the Transfer Specialist to polish your applications, write personal statements, and apply for Financial Aid. Prepare yourself mentally for the transition from VWCC to your new school by learning how to combat "transfer shock". The confidence of knowing you've made informed decisions will move you steadily toward your Bachelor's degree.
Throughout the academic year, REACH-SSS staff will offer workshops on academic skill building, time management, study skills, social skills, etc. to meet the needs of today's students. These topics may also be continued or worked on separately with your REACH counselor. Please contact our main office at 857-7286 to learn when workshops are being offered.
Our counselors will work with each student individually to help them maneuver the intricacies of financial aid. We can help you with filling out forms, organizing financial documents to apply online, getting pin numbers, etc. Contact your assigned REACH counselor for assistance.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

|Sharpe, Chruch, Wallace heading to WCC
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 25 June 2010 07:34
Three former Watauga High baseball players will continue their playing careers this fall.
Jon Sharpe, Adam Church and Jake Wallace, who propelled the Pioneers to the final regular-season championship in the old Northwestern 4A Conference in 2009, are teaming up once again. This time, they'll be playing for former WHS assistant coach Andy Fox at nearby Wilkes Community College.
Sharpe, who was an All-NW4A selection his senior year, is transferring in from Spartanburg Methodist College in Spartanburg, SC. Sharpe was 7-3 with a 2.77 earned-run-average during his senior year. He also had 81 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings of work. Church, the NW4A Conference Player of the Year his senior year, transfers in from East Tennessee State University. He batted .473 with seven home runs and a .811 slugging percentage in his final season with the Pioneers; Jake Wallace, who attended Emory & Henry College (a Division III school in Emory, Va.) to play football, batted .267 his senior year at WHS with a home run, four doubles and ten runs-batted-in.
"These guys are big additions to our program, said Fox, now in his second year at WCC. "They will certainly help us. Adam and John should step right in, but I'm think it might take Jake a little while before he shakes off the rust. That's why we play a 20-game schedule in the fall. It gives the new guys, especially like Jake who took time off to play football, to re-adjust himself."
Chruch signed his National Letter of Intent in May. Sharpe and Wallace are guaranteed walk-ons.
"I'm 100% sure that Adam and Jake will join us," Fox said. "I would say John is at least 99.9% sure. He has told me that he wants to be here, and that he wants to play."
Sharpe is currently playing with the Caldwell County Post 29 American Legion team in Lenior, NC. Former Pioneers Trey Louder and Cal Hardee (who will attend Appalachain State University to play baseball this fall) are also playing for Post 29.
WCC is a Division II school in Region 10 of the National Junior College Athletic Association. The Cougars were 30-27 last season, and they made it to the third round of the Region 10 tournament.
"We play in a good conference," Fox said. "And we have a competitive program. We play a 20-game schedule in the fall, and a 56-game schedule in the spring. And we've brought in a good recruiting class. I really like what we have right now."
The Cougars also had a player selected in the Major League Amateur Baseball Draft in early June. Pitcher Ethan Icard, who played at East Burke High School, was chosen by the Chicago White Sox in the 13th round.
"And they really liked him," Fox said. "Look, we may be a small school, but our guys have big hearts. They love the game, and we've been blessed with some good players. This is a baseball-rich area.
"Adding Church, Sharpe and Wallace is a great example of what I'm talking about. They're talented players that will only make our program that much stronger. Jake, once he settles in, and Adam give us a strong bat in the lineup. And John can be stellar on the mound."

Exelon's Braidwood Generating Station has the honor of awarding three local high school graduates with scholarships for their impressive efforts during the 2008-09 school year.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. (May 20, 2009) - Exelon's Braidwood Generating Station has the honor of awarding three local high school graduates with scholarships for their impressive efforts during the 2008-09 school year.
Michael Lovino of Reed Custer High School, Reuben Quesada of Wilmington High School and Michelle Ruffatti of Gardner South Wilmington High School were chosen by their schools' faculty to receive the Braidwood Station scholarships.
"These students have excelled in the classroom and have pushed themselves to new heights of success," said Braidwood Station Site Vice President Bryan Hanson. "Exelon Nuclear and Braidwood Station are proud to give these awards that will help the students in their continued education."
Lovino finished with a 3.67 grade point average and will attend the University of Illinois in the fall, studying mechanical engineering. He was a member of the concert, jazz and pep bands and also ran on the cross country and track teams. Lovino was a member of the National Honors Society and also holds the rank of Eagle Scout.
Quesada will be attending DeVry University-Tinley Park as a network and communications major. He is a two-time winner of the Mathematics Award, the Technology Award and the Music Award. Quesada was captain of the boys' soccer team and also volunteered for the VFW, the Lions Clubs and the St. Rose pancake breakfast.
Ruffatti, Gardner South Wilmington's valedictorian, will be attending North Central College in Naperville. The Illinois State Scholar also won the Illinois Principal's Association of Outstanding Students award, was the Good Citizen Essay winner from the Daughters of the American Revolution, and was the school's Girls State participant - where she joined other peers in a program that teaches students about government. In addition to her studies Michelle was an all-conference athlete competing in track, basketball and volleyball.
Braidwood Station salutes these students and wishes them well in their future academic endeavors.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.

PORTLAND - The Maine Red Claws (21-20) were unable to maintain their halftime lead as the East Division leading Canton Charge (24-15) outscored the Red Claws 70-44 in the second half en route to a 108-83 win Sunday afternoon at the Portland Expo Building.
The first quarter saw the two teams trade baskets early, with Chris Wright scoring six of Maine's first ten points. Canton's Kyle Gibson was equal to the task with six points of his own in the quarter, but the Red Claws, powered by a balanced scoring attack that saw seven players contributing, took a 21-17 lead into the first break. Charge forward Travis Franklin came out hot early, helping Canton tie the score at 23 apiece as part of a 13-4 run to take the lead midway through the second, 30-25. Maine's Mark Tyndale scored five points as part of an 11-4 run to reclaim the lead for the Red Claws, and Franklin and Red Claw Micah Downs traded layups to close out the half with Maine holding a slim 39-38 advantage.
Maine got early scoring in the third quarter from Wright and Downs, but the Charge got the three ball working, with guard Antoine Agudio connecting on three shots from beyond the arc during a stretch that saw Canton come from behind to take a nine-point lead. Maine's Curtis Jerrells looked to stop the run with five straight points to cut the Charge lead to one, with a DaJuan Summers three-pointer on Maine's next possession tying the game at 58 apiece. The Charge had the answer, however, as Gibson and Dominique Johnson ran Canton's lead back up to nine, closing out the third with a 76-65 lead. Summers and Wright scored four quick points to cut the lead to seven, but back-to-back threes from Johnson and Agudio extended the lead to 13. The Red Claws got the score back to within eight on a pair of Tyndale free throws and a Summers three-pointer, but that was as close as the Red Claws would come as Franklin would score eight of Canton's next thirteen points en route to the 108-83 final score.
Keying the Charge in the win was Agudio with 21 points. Canton also got strong performances from Gibson (20), Franklin (18), Arinze Onuaku with a double-double (12 points, 13 rebounds), Jorge Gutierrez (12) Kyle Weaver (10 points, six assists) and Johnson (10 points, six rebounds).
Maine was led by Wright's 20 points and six rebounds. The Red Claws also got solid efforts from Summers (15), Jerrells (14 points, five steals) and Tyndale (12 points, seven rebounds).
Maine will look to keep their playoff hopes alive Thursday night at 7 PM when they host the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at the Portland Expo Building.

Tim in NY
Really like this helmet. I had the XD3 and when it came time to replace had to get another Arai. The fit is so comfortable and it is light. I used the size chart and it was right on. The XD4 has better ventilation in my opinion. I feel very safe in the helmet. Yes, the price was a struggle to get by but it's your head. The only thing I could complain about is the plastic air ducts on the top. I have not done it but could see breaking these going under and hitting a tree branch. All in all money well spent.Read All Reviews

|Hospice workers/volunteers provide many kinds of services to the terminally ill, but one of the most important is just giving comfort to the person.
In much of the health care system in the United States the emphasis of health care is toward prolonging life as long as possible, regardless of the cost, and sometimes regardless of the discomfort to the patient.
But in one segment of the health care industry, hospice, the emphasis is on the quality of life, not the quantity, because generally the patients in that area of health care deals often have only a very limited quantity of life left.
Hospice is a concept of caring derived from the middle ages, symbolizing a place where travelers, pilgrims and the sick, wounded or dying could find rest and comfort. The contemporary hospice offers a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness.
In most modern medicine there is a place where people go to have their medical care; doctors quit doing house calls many years ago. The physician's office, a medical center, a clinic or the hospital are common places sick patients have to travel to.
|Hospice professionals provide medical and other kinds of care to patients at home and even in some kinds of care facilities.
But hospice is not a place. It is primarily a concept of care, not a specific place of care.
Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. The patient and family are both included in the care plan and emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the patient's wishes and family's needs. Trained volunteers can offer respite care for family members as well as meaningful support to the patient. That is all important when a loved one is very ill.
Hospice affirms life and regards dying as a normal process, not necessarily something that should be put off at all costs. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice provides personalized services and a caring community so that patients and families can attain the necessary preparation for a death that is satisfactory to them.
Those involved in the process of dying have a variety of physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs. The nature of dying is so unique that the goal of the hospice team is to be sensitive and responsive to the special requirements of each individual and family.
Local hospice providers
CNS Community Hospice - 613-8887
Rocky Mountain Hospice - 637-8070
Hospice care is provided to patients who have a limited life expectancy. Although most hospice patients are cancer patients, hospices accept anyone regardless of age or type of illness. These patients have also made a decision to spend their last months at home or in a home-like setting.
Hospice care is not just about doctors and nurses providing home health care, it is about an entire care package of specialists who help the patient and the families through a very hard time. It is a team approach that typically includes a physician, a nurse, a home health aide, a social worker, a chaplain and a volunteer.
The hospice nurse makes regularly scheduled visits to the patient providing expert pain management and symptom control techniques. Throughout the time that the patient is under the care of hospice, the nurse keeps the primary physician informed of the patient's condition. Nurses provide the complete spectrum of skilled nursing care and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Home health aides provide assistance with the personal care of the patient.
Social workers provide assistance with practical and financial concerns as well as emotional support, counseling and bereavement follow-up. They evaluate the need for volunteers and other support services needed by the family and facilitate communication between the family and community agencies.
Chaplains provide spiritual support to patients and families, often serving as a liaison between them and their religious community. Chaplains often assist with memorial services and funeral arrangements.
While there are many professionals involved in the care of someone who has a terminal situation, volunteers are one of the big keys in hospice care.
The hospice concept and movement has grown out of the commitment and vision of thousands of volunteers.
Traditionally, volunteers have been the backbone of the hospice movement and are still an indispensable part of any hospice program. Even the federal government recognizes the importance of volunteers in the delivery of hospice care by requiring that Medicare-approved hospices utilize volunteers from their community. Nationally, about 100,000 people serve as hospice volunteers and give millions of hours of their time to serve terminally ill patients and their families.
Volunteers serve as members of hospice teams by sharing skills and interests in a manner that provides comfort and enriches the quality of life for those served.
Volunteers serve on a regularly scheduled basis and provide many kinds of services.
Support services. Companionship, friendly visiting, active listening, bedside sitting and letter writing.
Sharing hobbies and special interests. Reading, gardening, listening to music, sports, travel, crafts, etc.
Assisting with errands - grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions and supplies and banking.
Transporting patients and families. Volunteers often take people to appointments, shopping and social outings.
Homemaking tasks. They perform light housekeeping, dishes, laundry, meal preparation and childcare.
No task is too big or too small for a hospice volunteer, but often the most important thing volunteers can do is just "be there" for patients to reassure them they are not alone, to hold a hand, to offer a smile, or to just listen.
It is not easy work, but the personal rewards are enormous. The strength and courage of patients provide a constant source of inspiration, and volunteers usually feel they gain more than they have been able to give.
Other volunteers provide help with special projects, mailings, reception, clerical support or working with special events such as memorial services and fund raising events.
Hospice volunteers often express their work with patients and families as a blessing. The inner knowledge and satisfaction a volunteer receives from knowing they've made a real difference in the life of a patient or family is what makes being a hospice volunteer special. Many say that being invited into the last months, weeks, and days of a person's life is an honor and a privilege.

Watch: Classic Jim Schoenfeld Moments/How He Watches Games
In a talk with Blueshirts United, Schoenfeld said that it is usually best t hat he watches games alone, at the top of the XL Center "If I am acting out in a particular way then I am the only one who needs to contend with it. I don't like to talk much during the game, I really like to focus on what is happening on the ice. Everyone from Glen to Torts to different scouts have all made the trek up there with me and most of them last about a period.
