A Message from the Director:
We know that affordability is one of the biggest considerations when choosing a college. This is why Oglethorpe is committed to offering a variety of strategies and resources to help make the net cost of this remarkable education and experience affordable. More than 90% of Oglethorpe students receive some type of financial aid to help finance their education.
While the financial aid process can seem daunting, the Financial Aid Office at Oglethorpe is willing and able to help you identify and secure the aid for which you are eligible. A college education is a significant investment but one that arguably yields the greatest returns. And in response to your investment, Oglethorpe will reply by providing four years of mentorship by a faculty ranked 15th in the nation by Princeton Review, strong ties to Fortune 500 companies both in and out of Atlanta, community engagement through a campus named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll since 2006, the opportunity to play championship NCAA Division III athletics, and admittance to the most selective graduate schools in the country.
We are eager to assist you and your family throughout the financial aid process. We hope the information on this website is helpful to you. Please contact us if you should have any questions. We look forward to working with you!
Chris Summers
Director of Financial Aid
Frequently Asked Questions:
What makes up a financial award package?
Oglethorpe creates an overall financial aid package for students offered admission to the university as well as for continuing students. Need-based aid is included for students who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). An award package will outline all aid components for which you qualify, such as academic scholarships, institutional grants, federal and state grants and loans, and other sources of funds.
How is ''financial need'' determined?
Like all colleges and universities, Oglethorpe uses a formula developed by the federal government to determine your financial need and your expected family contribution (EFC). You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine your financial need. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education, the FAFSA requires you to submit information about family size, income and assets, which are among the factors used to determine your financial need and the size of your aid award.
When should I apply for financial aid?
You should apply as soon as possible after your parents have completed their federal tax returns. FAFSA forms become available every January 1 for the academic year beginning that fall. For freshman applicants, this means that you should begin to work on the FAFSA in the winter of your senior year of high school. Oglethorpe encourages all applicants for financial aid to file the FAFSA by February 15.
When will I receive an award letter?
For new students, financial aid is awarded beginning March 1st and typically arrives at a student's home address within the first two weeks of March. For returning students, financial aid is awarded shortly after commencement in May. Returning students are typically notified of their award letters via email, and the award letters are viewable online through Oasis. Before an award can be made, Oglethorpe must receive your FAFSA results and you must be admitted to the university.
Do I have to reapply each year?
Yes, you must complete the FAFSA to apply for financial aid each year that you want to receive need-based assistance. If your family's income and financial profile remain similar year to year, you may expect your subsequent financial aid awards to remain similar as well.
Should I complete the FAFSA even if I'm unsure I need financial aid?
Yes. Whether or not you expect to receive federal assistance for college, it is very important that you complete the FAFSA so that Oglethorpe can determine if you are eligible for university-sponsored grants and awards. The FAFSA is also required for most student loans.
Will Georgia's HOPE Scholarship and Zell Miller Scholarship work at Oglethorpe, since it is a private school?
Yes, qualified Georgia residents will receive scholarship funds from the state of Georgia to assist in the cost of attending a private university like Oglethorpe. Full-time students with a HOPE-eligible GPA currently receive $1,854 per semester, full-time students with a Zell Miller-eligible GPA currently receive $2,000 per semester, and qualified GA residents currently receive $350 per semester through the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG). For more information, visit our Scholarships and Grants pages, or visit www.gacollege411.org.
What about my state-sponsored scholarship if I live outside of Georgia?
Currently, Oglethorpe recognizes the academic achievement of Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Mississippi residents who graduate with a 3.0 or higher with an equivalent grant of $3,500 per year. This award comes directly from Oglethorpe. For more information, visit our Scholarships page.
Where can I go for more information?
Our financial aid staff will be happy to answer any questions and show you how to make Oglethorpe's extraordinary education affordable to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us!

By GREG EICHELBERGERSun Advocate reporter
A dozen or so volunteers teamed up with school officials, community leaders and masses of happy squealing children to hold the first of many fundraisers for the upcoming Boys & Girls Club of Carbon County. The event was held on Friday, Feb. 26 at Mont Harmon Junior High School, where the club will be housed, and - by all indications - it was a smashing success.
"I was a little nervous about the attendance tonight," said Megan Archibeque, who spearheaded the effort to organize a local chapter and now sits on the board of directors. "It started a little slow but then people began really coming in. It's great."
It was a carnival atmosphere with games, food, prizes, dance recital, band music, contests and club registration forms available for those parents with junior high school-age children. Help was also given by several Mont Harmon students, as well as performances by the Mont Harmon and Helper junior high cheerleaders.
The Boys and Girls Club Movement began in the United States during the Civil War. Its inception is traced to Hartford, Conn. with the formation of the Dashaway Club to serve needy boys in the community.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America had its beginnings in 1860 when several women, believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, organized the first club. A cause was born. The idea spread to other areas of the country and more clubs were formed. The first club to use "Boys Club" in its official title was the Boys Club of New York in 1876. At this time, the clubs served only boys.
In 1906, the existing 50 clubs joined together to form a national organization known as the Boys Club of America. The Federated Boys Clubs in Boston was formed with 53 member organizations.
Later, in response to a growing need, however, the Boys Clubs began to also serve girls. In 1990, the national organization officially changed its name to Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Today there are over 4,000 clubs in the United States serving more than 4 million members. There are similar organizations in Germany, Australia, Canada, and many other countries around the world.
A Boys & Girls Club "latch key" kid in her youth, Archibeque was motivate to get the ball rolling locally because she saw a need in the community for children of working and/or single parents to have a place to go after school was out. Her own childhood experiences led her to form a steering committee almost two years ago, pushing for civic assistance and involvement. The work was difficult, but her bubbly, infectious smile and personality were no hindrance to the task.
"Being a member had a positive influence on me and having a positive attitude really helps when trying to get the community to rally around this kind of concept," the Missouri-born Price resident said. "But we have spoken to so many people, so many schools. I am really excited about the future of this club. Judging from the response that I have had this is going to be a very well-attended club."
And that may not be the half of it. The plan for initial membership is only for junior high pupils (seventh through ninth grades). Once the organization gets off the ground and moves into it's own facility, then children six and up may be allowed to apply for membership.
"Right now we're focusing on the middle school kids because they are the ones who really need a place to go after school," said board member Andy Urbanik, a member of the East Carbon City Council and a parent whose kids attended clubs in Oregon. "The elementary children have Pro Care right but the junior high students have nowhere to go. We do not want them to fall through the cracks. We also want to start small - not overextend ourselves. We will have plenty of time and room to grow here."
Working with the Carbon School District, the committee was first offered an unused building, but settled on Mont Harmon - temporarily - because of the strong partnership with that school's administration, especially principal Kerry Jensen. The club will be able to take advantage of some of Mont Harmon's facilities such as the library, gymnasium and several vacant classrooms.
"This school is a perfect fit," Urbanik said. "We have lots of support here and everyone seems to be really excited about the project." He added that a small staff will be hired to supervise the members, as well as support from the College of Eastern Utah's VISTA program (think AmeriCorp, or sort of a domestic Peace Corps).
"Our goal, of course, is to one day have our own facility," he added. "And I think we will, too. We have tremendous community and regional club support. When parents see that the Boys & Girls Club teaches values and guides youth to positive results, I believe they will want to become part of it. It's a wonderful organization and I am excited to be a part of it."

(USA TODAY) -- Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole defended his decision to let passengers carry small knives back on board flights Thursday, saying "these are not things that terrorists are continuing to use."
Photo gallery: TSA guidelines for pocketknives and sporting equipment
Instead, he told House members on Capitol Hill that airport security officers should be concentrating on non-metal explosives that have the capability to blow a hole in a plane.
Pistole last week announced that passengers could carry on small penknives and some sporting equipment such as two golf clubs, hockey sticks and small, souvenir baseball bats for the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., commended him for the move. "I think it's common sense what you've done," Rogers said.
Not every congressman on the House Homeland Security subcommittee agreed. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., held up a golf club and a hockey stick, asking whether they were dangerous.
"I think it could cause serious harm," Thompson said of the hockey stick.
Many flight attendants, pilots and even air marshals, who fly on commercial planes undercover, have come out against letting the items on board.
George Taylor, president for the federal air marshal service within the Federal Law Enforcement Office Association, said terrorists could figure out how to defeat reinforced cockpit doors with weapons similar to the box-cutters used on Sept. 11, 2001.
"It's just absolutely insane," said Taylor, a 36-year law enforcement officer who has been an air marshal since 9/11. "I don't put my faith in that reinforced door. If it's made by man, it can be broken by man."
"They're very upset," Taylor added, about fellow air marshals. "This is not the time to implement this policy."
Taylor spoke at a news conference outside the Capitol where flight attendants also sharply criticized the policy change. There, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., threatened a House vote on his legislation to prohibit knives on planes if the TSA doesn't reverse course.
"The TSA policy makes no sense," said Markey, who held up a knife that is allowed with a longer blade than a box-cutter. "It is a dangerous policy."
At the hearing, Pistole showed lawmakers a video of the destructive force of the explosive found on a passenger in December 2009 that destroyed a sheet of plywood between two sawhorses.
"This is what I believe the TSA should be focused on," Pistole said. "It really comes down to how can we best utilize our resources."
He also showed lawmakers a display of small knives with other items that have been allowed since 2005, including scissors with blades less than 4 inches long, knitting needles and screwdrivers less than 7 inches long. He said TSA is still more restrictive than knives allowed in federal buildings.
"Given the overall intelligence, these are not things that terrorists are continuing to use," Pistole said of small knives.
Pistole acknowledged he could have consulted with flight attendants and pilots better before announcing the change in policy. But he said he was confident in his decision. "I think the decision is solid," he said.
Like in Congress, reaction elsewhere has been mixed to the change. Some security experts and frequent fliers praise reducing prohibited items that distract checkpoint officers from more dangerous ones. But some security analysts have said travelers have grown accustomed to leaving knives out of their carry-on bags, and the policy change isn't necessary.
The Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions, which represents 90,000 workers, has been strongly opposed and set up a White House petition with a link from noknivesonplanes.com.
"Any way you slice it, a knife like this is a weapon, and it doesn't belong on an airplane," said Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing 16,000 workers at American Airlines. "His ridiculous position remains unchanged."

|Best Western Told of 'Problems' at Hotel
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 11 June 2013 06:01
It was hard to listen to the 9-1-1 calls from the Best Western Plus Blue Ridge Plaza, as employees found 11-year old Jeffrey Lee Williams apparently dead and his mother, 49-year old Jeannie Williams apparently not breathing. But in a press conference late yesterday afternoon, Boone Police and Fire
gave the press the audio of the call from Saturday—and the ones from April 16th when a Washington State couple died in the same room—room 225. Boone Police Chief Dana Crawford told the press that they now have some proof of cause of death of Jeffrey Williams and Daryl and Shirley Jenkins, found dead April 16th, "As of this afternoon, Dr. Brent Hall, Regional Pathologist, was able to report Jeffrey Lee Williams was autopsied on June 9th, 2013, and preliminary indications are that he died from asphyxia." Crawford said that the Jenkins died of carbon monoxide toxicity—their toxicology results received yesterday. It came to light that the Best Western was told by the Health Department in March about a problem with ventilation from a gas heater in a room adjacent to the pool, directly below room 225, but in spite of the Health Department sending out their own notice on the press conference, no one from that department was present to answer questions about what follow up might have come to their report. Tomorrow, State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors will be on the scene to further check that scenario, as the site remains closed and under police control.

MASSENA - Sixteen students from three area school districts joined their classmates in the class of 2013 Friday afternoon following the St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES Regional Summer School commencement ceremony.
The ceremony, which was held in the Massena High School auditorium, honored 14 graduates from Massena, as well as one from Parishville-Hopkinton and one from Potsdam.
Massena High School Principal Patrick Farrand said holding the graduation in the auditorium was a nice touch. In the past the ceremony had been held at the junior high school.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the kids and their families to be recognized for their hard work, he said. They deserve the same opportunity to be honored as anyone else.
With the summer school program being held at the junior high school and the high school auditorium unavailable due to renovations, previous ceremonies had been held in the junior high library.
This is much nicer, Mr. Farrand said. We will do the same thing again in the future, even if its for only one student.
Prior to receiving their diplomas, the graduates also received congratulations and some words of advice from Katherine Lynch, who served as principal for the summer school program.
You should be so proud and excited for this day. Were so glad youre here, she said. On one hand, youve ended an important chapter in your lives by completing the educational requirements for graduation. Youve overcome obstacles with purpose and perseverance. On the other hand, youre beginning a new chapter in your life; a new challenge. This is an opportunity to seek a new path, follow your dreams and set goals.
Ms. Lynch then compared what lies ahead for students to planting a garden.
Setting new goals is like starting a garden. You start with a vision. What do you want to accomplish? What are your aspirations? What do you want to cultivate and grow? she asked. A tiny seed is planted in your mind and grounded in your heart as you labor each day. Roots silently take shape and buds sprout. Soon, with cultivation, effort and fortitude, blossoms emerge and steady growth ensues.
She warned the students though that patience is required and success doesnt happen magically overnight.
Be patient, but tend to your goal, your dreams, and nurture them to fully thrive and develop, she said. You will run into difficulty. Obstacles get in the way of your dreams and goals, but as a former teacher and summer school principal I have witnessed each one of you work through your frustrations, deal with disappointments and ultimately succeed.
And if your patience starts to wear thin, Ms. Lynch said perseverance is an important thing to have.
Even when you dont think they (your dreams and goals) will flourish know this: Rather than allowing your future goals and dreams to wither, I urge you to continue to forage your path. Spend additional time. Persevere. Tend to your heart. Continue to mature and grow and you will garner the fruits of your labor.
While graduations tend to be emotional, Fridays ceremony was extra emotional for two graduates, Alisha Bormann and Samantha Bernard.
My grandmother passed away on Memorial Day, and it would have been awesome if she was here, Ms. Benard said, adding though that the rest of her family was there for her big day.
It means a lot to me, she said, of receiving her high school diploma. It means I made it further than I ever thought I could.
Ms. Borman said she told her grandfather two years ago that she would graduatebecoming the first person in her family to do so.
Im wicked excited. Im the first person to graduate in my family, she noted.
When asked what it meant to keep that promise to her grandfather, who passed away shortly after the promise was made, Ms. Borman said that was a tough question to answer. There are no words to describe it, she said.
Her father, George Borman, agreed.
Words cant describe what I feel right now, he said. Hopefully her brothers and sisters will see her all grown up and beautiful and want to follow in her footsteps, he said. Im very proud.
Students graduating on Friday included: Parishville-Hopkinton - Katherine Gilbo; Potsdam - Russell Snyder; Massena - Samantha Bernard, Alisha Bormann, Bryan Brothers, Robert Coia, Tahaowerenhawi David, Jeffrey Guyette, Celeste Haverstock, John McGrath, Malajia Parsons, Kiersten Pecore, Cesar Rodriguez, William Seguin, Trevor Swamp and Hayden Tyo.

North country beef farmers are preparing to do business with farms across the Midwest next fall by pooling their calves into a commingled herd.
Livestock educators from six counties across region have offered training over the past three years with that goal in mind, encouraging farmers to adopt cattle similar calve management practices needed to establish the feeder pool, said Betsy F. Hodge, who leads Cornell Cooperative Extensions NNY Regional Livestock Team. To establish a commingled herd marketed to buyers, she said, beef calves all would have to be similarly bred, weaned and vaccinated. They should be preferably crossbred, weigh in the range of 450 to 650 pounds and be bred with black hides.
Creating the feeder pool would enable buyers to purchase a large number of cattle that share the same weight, color and health treatment. Those feeder cattle likely would be marketed and sold at the Canandaigua-based Finger Lakes Livestock Exchange, along with local cattle backgrounders and finishers who raise them to be slaughtered. The Finger Lakes sales barn, which hosts auctions twice monthly from September through December, sells calves to farmers who raise them until theyre ready for slaughter.
Beef cattle producers in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties already have considered joining the pool, Ms. Hodge said. Some 80 beef farmers own farmland in Jefferson and Lewis counties; there are about 80 beef farmers in St. Lawrence County alone. Some farmers have begun to raise their calves using practices recommended by educators, she said, who launched the feeder pool initiative in 2012.
I think weve reached a point where they could get a group together, because weve worked on this a long time, said Ms. Hodge, who recently applied for a $7,000 research grant to kick-start the initiative from the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program. That funding will go toward research to determine what management practices farmers are using to raise calves.
We want to get a handle on how farmers are marketing calves to sell now so that we know where to start, said Ms. Hodge, a livestock educator at St. Lawrence Countys extension office. Farmers who havent been to our meetings need to get on the same page.
A few farmers in Jefferson and Lewis counties are interested in contributing cattle to the feeder pool, said Ronald A. Kuck, livestock educator for Jefferson Countys extension.
Were trying to recruit a group of like-minded beef farmers to do everything similar, he said. Thats going to attract a group of outside buyers that will be willing to make a trip to the north country. Theyre willing to pay higher prices for cattle that have been vaccinated, castrated and weaned correctly.
Those large groups of cattle could net up to 45 cents more per pound on the market than what theyve garnered individually at auctions, Mr. Kuck said. That difference would equate to sales of about $270 more per head for 600-pound cattle.
The feeder pool initiative is expected to be launched on a small scale, Mr. Kuck said, then grow incrementally in successive years.
If ten guys contribute ten calves, and five guys contribute 20, that would give us a pool of 200 to start out with, he said.
The biggest buyers at the Canandaigua auction are seeking to buy large quantities of cattle, with 70 to 100 head that are transported in tractor trailers, said Dr. Michael J. Baker, beef cattle specialist at Cornell University, Ithaca. Dr. Baker, who helped launch the feeder pool program here, is hopeful enough beef farmers will participate to launch the program in the fall of 2014.
Even if we dont get the magic 70-head number to sell that trailer load next fall, we could get three or four farms to put together 50 or 60 calves, Dr. Baker said. We could either send them down together to the Finger Lakes sale barn, or we could leave them on the farms and have them described and presented at the sale; maybe even with a video, so that buyers can bid on them without being there at the barn.
That would remove the stress of shipping them to the sale barn, and then to their ultimate destination. Those loads are going out of state to Kansas, Texas, Missouri and a variety of places, because we just dont have a large feeding industry in New York.
Out-of-state buyers are lured to the Canandaigua auction mainly because of the comparatively low prices for preconditioned feeder cattle, Dr. Baker said. Those calves now are sold at a relatively low price at the Finger Lakes Livestock Exchange, according to findings from a three-year study led by Cornell University. Data from the second year of the project, collected on nearly 10,000 cattle head and 3,900 lots, show they were sold at an average of $2.80 per hundredweight; that price is 29 cents per hundredweight less than the national average.
Adams beef farmer Donald H. Holman, who raises Angus cattle to be finished, said he might be interested in selling and buying calves in large numbers by participating in the feeder pool if its established. He now buys anywhere from 100 to 150 calves from about eight farmers who live within 50 miles of his farm. Once calves became full-sized adults with a weight of 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, he transports them to an auction barn in Paradise, Pa. He sells about 250 to 300 cattle a year.
If enough beef farmers join, this pool could be phenomenal because you could go to one place, one time, and pick up 50, 100 or 200 head, Mr. Holman said. I now buy almost everything I need from private individuals, but if they join the pool then Im going to still get those cattle, because I know them.
The most lucrative market for cattle in the pool, however, likely will be among Midwest buyers, Mr. Holman said.
The whole point of this pool is to get buyers from the Midwest to come up here because they can buy a potload of cattle, he said. Theyll keep coming here as long as they can take them in potloads of about 45,000 pounds.

Waste not, want not: It's a motto of many cultures, the Italians being one of them. I'm not a "gizzard and hearts" kind of cook but I try to use up all the leftovers we have on a given day. Usually they end up in my husband's lunch. One can only have spaghetti and meatballs so many days in a row. At least those who aren't Italian by blood can't do it. So what's a girl to do with the last few cups of tomato sauce that she doesn't want to toss after it has a nice layer of mold growing?
Invent a recipe. Or at least think you've created something new in the culinary world. Most of the recipes today are just new takes on old stand-by recipes of famous chefs and home cooks from thousands of years ago. You can't convince me I am the first to try this combination of flavors but it's a first for our home so it's "my creation" if you will.
Sausage with Artichoke Hearts and Black Olives
1 pound bulk Italian sausage, sweet-mild-hot whatever you like
1 medium onion diced
few Tbsp olive oil
1 can of quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 can of black olives, drained
1-2 cups tomato sauce with Italian seasonings or use up some leftovers
Fresh basil leaves
Parmesan or Asiago cheese
In a 12 in. skillet brown the sausage. About half-way through, add in the olive oil and onion. Continue cooking until sausage is cooked through and onion is translucent and soft. Add the artichoke hearts, olives and sauce. Lower heat to a simmer and cover. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes add in the basil leaves, torn if you like. Pass with the cheese at the table.
I also served fried polenta squares with this dish instead of going for pasta since we had a few nights of pasta the week before. This was a really simple meal. I'm thinking peppers and other vegetables could be added and I would have but I have some food allergies here so I can't use eggplant or zucchini. I bet they would taste good with the sausage and polenta.

MLBTR posted a quality assessment of what went wrong this season and what moves the team might make this winter. They speculate that we could re-sign Scott Feldman and I could see that happening. They also suggest that we might re-sign Jason Hammel if his price doesn't go beyond about 7M.
I can't see him getting that kind of money from us, or anyone else. Even the Yankees, who consider themselves contenders and need SP, probably wouldn't pay him that. If Hammel sets his price at about 3M base with incentives taking him up to as much as 10M I could see him pretty much having his pick of teams; including us.
MLBTR suggests we might trade Britton and/or Matusz because they're out of options. I agree; however, I'm not sure I agree with their speculation that we would go after Howie Kendrick. He's a solid enough defender, but though his OBA is about .20 above out pitiful team average from last year he's not really the big leap forward we need. When you're carrying horrible OBA's like Wieters' and Hardy's you really need to pick up the slack someone else.
IMO we need three things to happen this winter to make us a playoff team again next season:
1) acquire one SP capable of giving us at least 200 innings and another one capable of at least 180
2) have our other three SPs come into ST in good enough shape to give us at least 550 innings combined
3) our hitters need to remember that you don't win any prizes for swing at every pitch you see. Some simple plate discipline would make all the difference in the world. Work the count in your favor and you'll see better pitches. Doubt that? Why do you think the Red Sox are in the WS?

A) Only the players would get Instagib Rifle, making the game too easy (every Strogg including the bosses would get killed in one hit.), or
B) The Stroggs would have Instagib Rifles as well, making the mode WAY too difficult to sit through.
To be honest, mutators like Instagib and Buckshot might work brilliantly with competitive multiplayer gametypes, but in co-op modes like Invasion, they tend to ruin gameplay for complicated reasons.

|West Jefferson Struggles with Popular Downtown
|Written by Gary Childers
|Tuesday, 11 September 2012 07:02
Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? That's one of the questions West Jefferson's Aldermen wrestled with during Monday night's monthly meeting as they considered several requests for events that would require closing off various down town streets.
Ricky Goodman presented requests to close Main street from 4:00 pm till 7:00 pm on September 15th and October 20th for classic car cruise ins. Keith Woody requested closing of sections of Main Street for the West Jefferson Olde Time Antiques' Fair from 8:00 am till 6:00 pm on September 22nd. They also had a request from the Lions Club to close a section of Main Street for the Christmas Tree 5K Run on December 1st. The upside to these events is the extra people they bring into the town who may shop while there or return later for business. The downside is the restriction of parking and limiting of access for regular customers to the businesses along the street areas that are closed off. Alderman Stephen Shoemaker stated his support for these events, saying "I talked to a whole lot of people that come for the first time to West Jefferson, and they say 'we want to come back.' It's good for the town." Aldermen Calvin Green reflected concerns about these type events he had received from downtown merchants, "You've got a ton of cars parked all over town, can't nobody get in to conduct business…Can't nobody get nowhere." The Aldermen approved all requests presented with Alderman Tom Hartman summing up their intentions for the future, "The way to approach this and still to keep all the good is not to rule anything out, but we've got to take care of the merchants too."

The two-year, double-digit growth in enrollments at Utah State University-College of Eastern Utah are "meaningful given our community college mission of providing access," said Greg Benson, the college's Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Student Services.
But there's more to the story than that.
In the first place, the 21 percent jump in headcount enrollments does not count about 1,000 students in the non-credit Workforce Education programs. They aren't counted until the end of the semester.
Second, enrollments are broad-based in terms of ethnic and geographic diversity.
Benson said the fall 2010 enrollent includes students from 27 of Utah's 29 counties, 21 states and 19 foreign countries. Not surprisingly, the college accounts for a full 30 percent of Native American students enrolled in the entire Utah System of Higher Education.
This is due in large part to the San Juan campus at Blanding, which has traditionally delivered higher education opportunities to nearby reservations and the off-reservation Native American population in the region.
Last year, USU-CEU reported a 12.91 percent increase in full-time equivalent students. At just over 11 percent this year, the pace has barely slowed.
Counties in order of most students are Carbon, 788; Emery, 470; San Juan, 433; Salt Lake, 196; Utah, 88; and Davis, 32. Out-of-state students are primarily from the West, with Arizona having the greatest representation.

A procession of ambulances, their lights shining in the rain, brought Charmaine G. Wright, CEO and president of Guilfoyle Ambulance Service, to her final resting place June 6.
Mrs. Wright, who had a keen knowledge of the citys streets and slept with a police scanner by her bedside, was the matriarch of the Guilfoyle family, according to company general manager David C. Sherman.
Though her death was a tremendous blow, the company will move forward, with Bruce G. Wright, 30, one of Mrs. Wrights three sons, taking the helm as president and CEO.
I always wanted to do this, Mr. Wright said. Mom always said I got bit by the bug.
Mr. Wright graduated from Watertown High School in 2000 and from Utica college in 2005 with a degree in health studies and management.
During his junior year, he somehow managed to fit an emergency medical technician course into a schedule as a full-time student and varsity athlete.
Since then hes never looked back and has worked his way up from EMT to paramedic and from part-time employee to full time.
Ive always had the mentality that I didnt want things to be handed to me, Mr. Wright said.
In his new position, Mr. Wright will continue to work closely with his two brothers, Toby and Travis, who also work for Guilfoyle.
Travis, the youngest of the three, is an EMT now and will be starting a paramedic program in the fall.
Toby enjoys the patient care and the operations aspects of the business, Bruce Wright said.
He likes to be out there where the rubber meets the road, he said.
Theres no doubt that Guilfoyle Ambulance has a strong association with the Wright name, but the family ethos of the company extends beyond the bloodline.
The demands of the job, which can make every day an emotional roller coaster, also foster camaraderie and a family atmosphere at the company, Mr. Wright said.
It was something that Mrs. Wright and her employees took literally. Mrs. Wright, who knew everyones names and could recognize and identify individual voices on the scanner, was referred to as Mom by her employees.
James F. Deavers, a Guilfoyle employee and former director of Lewis County Search and Rescue, said Mrs. Wright would often refer to him as her oldest kid.
I would say, Charmaine, youve got some explaining to do. Im only a year younger than you. It must have been an immaculate conception, he said.
She was a real personal friend of mine and I miss her, Mr. Deavers said.
Justin J. Barbarito, an EMT who has been with the company for two years, said: She loved us all as family. She was very nice, very sweet. She always had a smile on her face whether she was having a good day or bad.
Mrs. Wright had been involved with Guilfoyle since 1971, when a partner in the company, Bernard E. Pooler, invited her to accompany him on a run to Syracuse.
Two years later, Bruce M. Wright, who bought a percentage of the company after returning home from service in Vietnam, took control when Mr. Pooler sold his interest.
A few years after that, he married the former Charmaine Grey, one of his employees. Mr. Wright died suddenly on Nov. 12, 1993.
Since then, the Wright family consistently has expanded the company, spurred on by federal contracts to provide ambulance services to Fort Drum and by continued growth in Jefferson County.
Today the ambulance service employs 120 people and has a fleet of 26 vehicles, including 14 ambulances and five wheelchair vans.
It recently moved from its cramped headquarters on Newell Street to a remodeled and modernized structure on Faichney Drive.
Over the years, the Wright family especially Mrs. Wright has changed the face of emergency medicine in Jefferson County.
Charmaine is a loss not just to Guilfoyle but to the whole county, said Charles F. Brenon III, director of Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services. She was an EMS pioneer. Her loss is a blow to the whole system. We will do whatever we can to support the family in this difficult time and look forward to many more years of continued service.
A week after the funeral, on a sun-drenched Friday afternoon, the ambulances from the procession were staged in the shade of the companys garage, awaiting the next call.

|Stolen Car Chased into Avery, Stopped
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 15 May 2013 12:49
A high speed chase ended in Avery County this morning after a vehicle, said to have been stolen, was chased by Carter County Tennessee across the state line and into Avery County. With enough lead time, Avery and Newland officers set stop sticks across both lanes of US 19E, and the suspect was forced
off of the highway onto Old Mill Road where he tried to ditch the vehicle. There, Newland Police Jason Brown was able to grab and cuff the suspect, ending the drama without injury or crash. The chase had speeds of 80 to 85 miles per hour as it crossed the state line from Carter County into Avery, but with the Avery help, the car was recovered and the suspect taken into custody.

'I wanted to get every Major League team on my body somehow'
EUGENE, Ore. -- Benjamin Christiensen has been a baseball fan his whole life. Now, this University of Oregon student's passion may turn into a profession.
Christiensen made it to the top 50 for a nationwide contest to live in the MLB "Fan Cave." The winner, based on total number of votes, gets to live in New York City from the start of baseball season through the World Series. While living in the house, the winner will be blogging, interviewing players, and much more.
It's a dream job for Major League Baseball fans, and Christiensen has a few things that help him stand out from the rest: tattoos of all of the MLB mascots.
"I wanted to get every major league team on my body somehow, and the best way possible was ribs to hips on each side, so American League on the right side, and National League on the other," he said.
Each tattoo has a story. "Its all historical related stories and such that I crammed a lot of research into it, but if I'm gonna put it on my body, might as well have some fun with it."
Christiensen also has a huge collection of baseball caps. He writes numbers and statistics on the hat, each one with a special meaning from a certain time period in that team's history.
"Every one has a little number except my minor league ones," he said. "All of my major league hats have specific historical value to them."
For example: "This one is the St. Louis Cardinals road hat and the numbers I wrote down …these are Joe Medwick's statistics from when he won the MVP and the Triple Crown in the National League in 1937," said Christiensen. "It's the last time someone in the National League won a Triple Crown."
Christiensen is using social media to help rally votes for his victory. He has established a Facebook page, Twitter feed, and uses his blog to rally people to vote for him.
Voters have until Feb. 22 to vote for your favorite MLB fan. Then, the top 10 will be announced.

POTSDAM It was a golden moment for ChaRon Brabham, and she earned it.
The SUNY Potsdam theater student enjoyed a fairytale weekend in Hollywood which culminated in an onstage experience at the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony.
Ms. Brabham was among six college awards presenters selected through the national Oscar Experience Talent Search, sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and mtvU.
It was weird: I came into the student union and a friend told me the Oscars are doing a contest so you should go, said Ms. Brabham.
The search required Ms. Brabham to write and record a 30-second short film answering the question How will you contribute to the future of movies?
I feel like movie studios dont teach children lessons, they show them the world without context, she said. I want to use technological advances to make the film industry better.
Ms. Brabham said she came to SUNY Potsdam for its theater program, but her calling is film.
I always used to act and stuff; my friends told me I should pursue acting, she said. But I dont want to be an actor; I want to direct.
Sundays awards ceremony marked the first year that student filmmakers assisted handing out Oscars. In years past, the Academy has hired models to do the work, but Ms. Brabham said she hopes this begins a new tradition.
I hope some other students get this chance, she said. It is better this way because it is people who actually care about the films. I would do it every year if I could.
During her time in Hollywood, Ms. Brabham visited the Disney animation studios.
I am a big animation fan and Mickey Mouse was always my favorite character, she said. I got to meet the directors of Wreck-It Ralph, Brave, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. They even watched our videos and critiqued them that was a little nerve-wracking.
She also toured the Academy library and viewed parts of its extensive collection of memorabilia, including some of the costuming used in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, and met Academy President Hawk W. Koch.
He gave us a tour of his office, Ms. Brabham said. They treated us like royalty.
The students were then put through a series of rehearsals for the awards ceremony. All the time spent together forged new friendships among the group, said Ms. Brabham.
It was great to be around others who love film, she said. We might make a film together some day.
On Oscars night, Ms. Brabham met a Whos Who of Hollywood elites and superstars, including Daniel Radcliffe, John Travolta, Jennifer Garner, Kerry Washington, Jamie Foxx, Halle Berry, Queen Latifah, host Seth MacFarlane, Best Actor award winner Daniel Day Lewis, Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence and Norah Jones.
Norah Jones is my BFF, said Ms. Brabham. She was so nice to us.
Ms. Brabham also received some sage advice from Ben Affleck, who took home Best Picture honors for Argo.
He said in this industry you have only yourself, so work hard, Ms. Brabham said. I got a lot of good advice.
Now, she is adjusting back to life in Potsdam.
When I got off the plane at LAX, it was my first time in California, she said. The weather was so nice, I came back here and it was still cold and snowy.
The experience strengthened her commitment to a career in filmmaking.
I am going to try to get an internship with the Academy, the only place for me to go is up, Ms. Brabham said. SUNY Potsdam has taught me a lot in two-and-one-half years it made me figure out what I wanted to do; I got a lot of knowledge and insight.

Oh Canada!
Competing in the Canadian Women's Tour event in Niagara Falls, Ontario, former Rebel Natalie Gleadall fired the low round of the day, Wednesday, a 6-under 66 to finish with a 4-under 140, good enough for third place. Gleadall finished as the low amateur, just one shot off the pace. After opening with a 74, Gleadall carded six birdies and no bogeys to jump up in the standings.

Traveling past Braidwood and LaSalle County Generating Station it is possible for spectators to see wildlife, such as deer, wild turkeys and birds.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. - Traveling past Braidwood and LaSalle County Generating Station it is possible for spectators to see wildlife, such as deer, wild turkeys and birds. Although these Exelon Nuclear power facilities have a great deal of security and armed forces, these animals flourish and love to live undisturbed on Exelon's property.
Acknowledging this, the Wildlife Habitat Council, recently presented both facilities with the Wildlife at Work Certification. This environmental stewardship certification was awarded to Braidwood Generating Station in Braceville, Ill. and LaSalle County Generating Station in Marseilles, Ill. for their commendable wildlife habitat management and environmental education programs at their respective sites.
"Formed as an unbridled partnership between corporations, communities and conservation organizations, the Wildlife Habitat Council exemplifies the power of collaborative conservation as the foundation of environmental stewardship," said Robert Johnson, WHC president. "Congratulations to Exelon for its commitment and contributions to wildlife habitat enhancement, community outreach, and conservation education."
This distinction was awarded to the facilities for their commitment to establishing long-term wildlife habitat enhancements that provide undisturbed habitats with food, water, cover and space for animal species living on Exelon's property. A couple of examples Exelon has undertaken to protect animal species and promote environmental awareness at the stations include: • Braidwood Station currently participates in the Wildlife at Work program through its fish habitat restoration project where artificial habitats are placed in the Braidwood Lake. The habitat units are designed to provide multiple benefits to largemouth bass, a favorite of Midwest fishing enthusiasts, at various stages in their life – from acting as a nursery habitat for young fish to providing feeding sites for larger, mature bass. The artificial habit program along with fish restocking efforts has greatly enhanced the fishery.
• LaSalle Station currently participates in the Wildlife at Work program through its support of LaSalle Lake Habitat maintenance and Fish Hatchery Management. Fisheries management activities have taken place for decades and the lake has been supplementally stocked with a variety of warm and cool water fish species that are raised in the on-site fish hatchery. These included largemouth and smallmouth bass, blue catfish, striped bass, bluegill and red sunfish. The lake supports a diverse fish population, provides vital habitat for birds and is important for recreation. Maintaining the quality of the habitat allows the community to benefit from the recreational opportunities and the support of local and migratory wildlife.
"We are pleased that our efforts to help wildlife near our facilities are making a difference," said Braidwood Station Site Vice President Dan Enright. "We are committed to the ensuring the continuance of healthy wildlife around our plant, just like our 100% commitment to ensuring the safe operation of Braidwood Station."
In total, nine of 10 of Exelon Nuclear's facilities have been recognized by WHC for programs that minimize impact on the environment and promote local wildlife. Other station's holding the certification include Byron Generating Station in Byron, Ill., Clinton Power Station in Clinton, Ill., Three Mile Island Generating Station in Middletown, Pa., Limerick Generation Station in Pottstown, Pa., Oyster Creek Generating Station in Lacey Township, N.J., Quad Cities Generating Station in Cordova, Ill. and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station in Delta, Pa..Both Braidwood and LaSalle County Station are a part of Exelon Generation's fleet of 10 nuclear power facilities. The Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) is a nonprofit, non-lobbying organization dedicated to increasing the quality and amount of wildlife habitat on corporate, private and public lands. WHC devotes its resources to building partnerships with corporations and conservation groups to create solutions that balance the demands of economic growth with the requirements of a healthy, biodiverse and sustainable environment. WHC-assisted wildlife habitat and conservation education programs are found in 45 states, the District of Columbia and twelve other countries. To learn more, visit www.wildlifehc.org.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
The words from the movie are something like, "If you build it, they will come." The question is, "But will they come to build it?" In Helper, the answer is yes.
In a little more than two hours, a volunteer force of more than 85 kids and adults laid 38,000 square feet of new sod over the old Helper Pony League Ballfield Saturday morning. No longer a desert wasteland, the place is looking like a baseball park again.
Saturday's effort capped off two weeks of labor at the field to get the diamond ready for spring practice for the 11 Little League teams that will use it. So far, the work has included:
- demolishing and replacing the dilapidated fence around the park;
- weed removal and grading of the lot;
- hauling off the deteriorated planks from bleachers;
- getting rid of debris from the access road; and
- installation of a new secondary and primary water sprinkler system.
The work has been a cooperative effort between Helper City and volunteers. The sod-laying brought in people from all over the surrounding area. Workers from Kenilworth, Spring Glen, Price, Carbonville, Helper Junior High, Carbon High and the college turned out, according to Carol Chiara, who was keeping track.
What remains to be done is to lay the dirt in the infield, install the bases and backstop. While that is happening, the new grass will be taking root.
Earlier this month, the county's Recreation/Transportation Special Service District committed to grant $25,000 in federal mineral lease money to buy materials and supplies for this first phase of construction. Labor has been volunteered by citizens or furnished by Helper's public works team.
"I estimate that what we have done so far is worth between $35,000 and $40,000. Out actual out-of-pocket expenses have been only $16,000," said Sam Chiara, who got the project going.
That means that volunteers and contributions have paid for more than half of the improvements so far.
Chiara has been the organizing force behind the restoration. He created Heritage Ballfields, a non-profit organization that would receive funds from grants and contributions. Chiara, along with Helper Mayor Dean Armstrong, presented the case for restoration to the RTSSD.
Primarily, the 11 Little League teams that play in Helper have only one field to practice and play on. Reopening the Pony League park would double the capacity, they said. Also, many of those teams come from outside Helper to play, so it is not strictly for the benefit of Helper residents only.
There are two more phases that Chiara and other baseball fans would like to see: Scorer's booth and scoreboard and a restroom would make the field suitable for competition. Further down the road, there might be improvements in access and parking, and construction of a concession stand and other amenities that could turn the area into an expansion of the city's existing park and swimming pool into a recreation complex.

The former chair of the Republican Party of Florida was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Wednesday for theft and money laundering.
Circuit Judge Marc Lubet also sentenced Jim Greer to one year of supervised probation. Greer had faced a prison sentence of 3 1/2 to 35 years.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering last month, right before his trial was scheduled to start. His trial had threatened to expose the underbelly of Florida's dominant political party and its formerly high-spending ways.
Topics covered in pretrial depositions included allegations of prostitutes at a state GOP fundraiser in the Bahamas, the drinking habits of former Gov. Charlie Crist and intraparty strife.
Greer's attorney asked for less than 18 months in prison. The state asked for Greer to get 42 months in prison.
"We strongly argued that this convicted criminal be sentenced to a harsher prison sentence," said Attorney General Pam Bondi. "Nonetheless, the Office of Statewide Prosecution did an excellent job prosecuting this case."
Prosecutors say Greer funneled almost $200,000 to a company he had formed with his right-hand man and kept $125,000 for himself. The Republican Party of Florida says Greer has repaid $65,000.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - For some regular donors like Bruce Miller donating blood is just part of his routine, "It doesn't really take that much time and you only have to donate a few hours every 56 days."
But for first time donors like Carly Plank, i took a little more encouragement,"I was a little curious like how big the needle would be and just things like that and how long it would take. I was kind of curious about the process and the screening you go through before you can donate and I would be able to give enough blood or not."
Common concerns from those who don't donate but eventually is was Carly's need to help others that finally persuaded her to take that first step and donate, "I don't like to take being healthy for granted and giving is a great way to celebrate that and to give back to the community." And a way to give someone the gift of life.

Save these cars – Lagrange, Georgia
While I was looking for General Lees earlier, I noticed a poster going by the name of forwardlookguy, and hopped on over to look at his stuff, to see if there were any good Exner-era Mopars.
I never got that far, as I was distracted by his 1,000-gar gallery of the Waugh Enterprises yard in Lagrange, Georgia. It's the same old song and dance: Get 'em before they're crushed. I did turn Yvette VanDerBrink onto them, so maybe she can turn it into an auction rather than a giant pick-a-part.
In the meantime, here are some highlights. Contact Mack Waugh at 706-884-4242 if something tickles your fancy.
Leading off, a big FC for Dan: 1975 Ford C-700.
Heck, how about a couple more for Dan, like an AMX in race livery. I assume this is the same Mack Waugh whose yard this is. More information, anyone? There's a high concentration of AMC stuff down there.
And another FC, a '64 Dodge A-100 pickup.
There are a mess of Corvairs in many configurations including, yes, several vans, like a '61 rampside 95.

1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Createdby Charles C. Mann
Staff Pick
As fascinating as his bestseller 1491, Mann's 1493 recounts how the world was forever changed by a "Columbian Exchange," when plants, animals, commodities, and people crossed oceans for the first time. Entertaining and insightful, this scientific history will move you to see the world in an entirely different light.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the author of 1491 — the best-selling study of the pre-Columbian Americas — a deeply engaging new history that explores the most momentous biological event since the death of the dinosaurs.
More than 200 million years ago, geological forces split apart the continents. Isolated from each other, the two halves of the world developed totally different suites of plants and animals. Columbus's voyages brought them back together — and marked the beginning of an extraordinary exchange of flora and fauna between Eurasia and the Americas. As Charles Mann shows, this global ecological tumult — the 'Columbian Exchange' — underlies much of subsequent human history. Presenting the latest generation of research by scientists, Mann shows how the creation of this worldwide network of exchange fostered the rise of Europe, devastated imperial China, convulsed Africa, and for two centuries made Manila and Mexico City — where Asia, Europe, and the new frontier of the Americas dynamically interacted — the center of the world.
In 1493, Charles Mann gives us an eye-opening scientific interpretation of our past, unequaled in its authority and fascination.
"Having resurrected the isolated splendors of the pre-Columbian Americas in his bestselling 1491, Mann explores the global convergences — and upheavals — inaugurated by their discovery in this fascinating survey of the 'Homogenocene' era. Mann traces the subtle, epochal influences of the intercontinental 'Columbian Exchange' of flora, fauna, commodities, and peoples, showing how European honeybees and earthworms remade New World landscapes; how New World corn, potatoes, and fertilizer ignited Eurasian population booms; how Old World diseases prompted an eruption of slavery in the Western Hemisphere (the influx of Africans, not Europeans, to the Americas, Mann notes, was the main demographic result of the Contact); how Latin American silver undermined China's Ming Dynasty; and how the decimation of Indian peoples changed the world's climate. The author interweaves research on everything from epidemiology to economics into a lucid historical panorama that's studded with entertaining studies of Chinese pirate fleets, courtly tobacco rituals, and the bloody feud between Jamestown colonists and the Indians who fed and fought them, to name a few. Brilliantly assembling colorful details into big-picture insights, Mann's fresh, challenge to Eurocentric histories puts interdependence at the origin of modernity. 35 illus.; 12 maps. (Aug.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Fascinating...Convincing...A spellbinding account of how an unplanned collision of unfamiliar animals, vegetables, minerals and diseases produced unforeseen wealth, misery, social upheaval and the modern world." Kirkus (Starred Review)
"Charles C. Mann glories in reality, immersing his reader in complexity. He launches across the Atlantic with Columbus and swings port and starboard through time and space over the whole of the world. The worn cliches crumble as readers gain introductions to the freshest of the systems of analysis gendered in the first post-Columbian millennium." Alfred W. Crosby, author of The Columbian Exchange
"In the wake of his groundbreaking book 1491 Charles Mann has once again produced a brilliant and riveting work that will forever change the way we see the world. Mann shows how the ecological collision of Europe and the Americas transformed virtually every aspect of human history. Beautifully written, and packed with startling research, 1493 is a monumental achievement." David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
"In 1491 Charles Mann brilliantly described the Americas on the eve of Columbus's voyage. Now in 1493 he tells how the world was changed forever by the movement of foods, metals, plants, people and diseases between the 'New World' and both Europe and China. His book is readable and well-written, based on his usual broad research, travels and interviews. A fascinating and important topic, admirably told." John Hemming, author of Tree of Rivers
"Charles Mann expertly shows how the complex, interconnected ecological and economic consequences of the European discovery of the Americas shaped many unexpected aspects of the modern world. This is an example of the best kind of history book: one that changes the way you look at the world, even as it informs and entertains." Tom Standage, author of A History of the World in Six Glasses
