'No matter what, I was going to be playing that night'
EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon offensive lineman Nick Cody keeps his dad's memory alive with each game.
Cliff Cody died from complications with colon cancer on October 27, 2006, a day that Nick now spends remembering his father.
However, on that day in 2006, Nick was preparing for a football game.
The Brush Prairie, Wash., native and offensive tackle for Hockinson High School played one of his toughest games that night against Washougal High School.
The game itself was tough, as Hockinson lost, but even tougher was Nick's perseverance through his family's tragedy.
"I made a commitment to my teammates that, no matter what, I was going to be playing that night," says Cody. "I think that's the only way I could've dealt with it."
Since that day, Nick plays every game in memory and dedication to his father.
He writes his dad's initials on his cleats and athletic tape before every game, and he has a glass orb containing some of his father's ashes that he meditates with in the locker room.
Cliff Cody served two tours of duty in Vietnam and worked as a Corrections Officer for 23 years. He and Nick bonded over football.
"We were both huge NFL fans," says Cody. "He kind of taught me the game."
Nick Cody came to the University of Oregon in 2008 as the 3rd best player in the state of Washington and the 25th best player at his position in the nation.
He redshirted the 2008 season but worked his way up to a starting spot in the 2011 season.
Now, Nick looks to his coaches as father figures.
"I look to those men as leadership roles for me, someone who doesn't have a father anymore. The relationship I have with those men is immensely important to my development as a human being and being a man myself."
Story from the University of Oregon Sports Media Workshop

W&J vigil
Disbelief. Shock. Sadness. Anger. The Washington & Jefferson College community gathered for a candlelight vigil to remember Tim McNerney, a 21-year-old business major and standout football player who was killed early Thursday morning one block from campus.Students stood silently, several weeping and fighting back tears throughout the hour-long vigil held on the lawn in front of the Burnett Center, many in disbelief that a tragedy of such magnitude could hit the idyllic campus.McNerneys family sat in chairs in the front row and held onto each other.McNerney died of blunt force trauma to the head after he was found off campus and taken to the Wahsington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:42 a.m. It is a tragedy we cannot even put in words, said W&J President Tori Haring-Smith, who called McNerney a remarkable young man. I think what we need to remember is how Tim touched each of us, what he taught us, how he modeled for us the kind of person we all hope we can be.McNerneys teammates talked about the impact McNerney had on their lives, describing him as a fun-loving young man, a good friend and motivator.DeAndre Simmons, who said McNerney was his best friend from the first day he arrived on campus, called McNerney fearless.Tim meant the world to me. He was my brother. I wish I could have told him I loved him every day, said Simmons.Another teammate described how he had planned to spend Easter break of their freshman year on campus because he lived out of state, but McNerney invited him to his home in Butler and the McNerney family welcomed him and turned it into his most memorable Easter.Student government president Damian Bosiacki recalled how McNerney electrified the crowd at the colleges fall concert with his rapping.He was so happy up there, said Bosiacki, who described how an exhilarated McNerney said Bosiacki should keep on working on comedy and he would keep on rapping.Thinking about that moment, it kills me to think that hes not with us anymore, but thats just a source of motivation. Dream. Go big; if you think of it, you can do it, said Bosiacki, saying thats how McNerney approached his life.Fighting back tears, head football coach Mike Sirianni called McNerney one of the favorite football players he ever coached and called the people responsible for McNerneys death cowards.Part of me is very mad, said Sirianni. But those cowards who took Tims life cannot take away the spirit of Tims family, or the spirit of our football team and this community.During the ceremony - so many people attended that the college ran out of candles - the Rev. Robert Vandekappelle, W&J Chaplain, and the Rev. Gary Gibson, Hospice Care pastor at Washington Hospital, who was with the McNerney family at the hospital, asked for the community to support each other and lean on each other. We gather on this campus tonight to mourn and to grieve, but we do that tonight as more than a college campus, we do that as a community, said Rev. Gibson. We do that more as a community and as a country as we think about the incredible All-American that Tim was. Hundreds stayed after the vigil to sign a memory book that will be presented to the McNerney family and to view a small memorial area that included flowers, candles and a portrait of McNerney in his black and red football uniform.As the vigil came to a close, McNerneys uncle, Keith Schanck, strode to the podium, gripped it tightly, and said, voice breaking, Speak out against violence. Speak out against violence. So senseless. Be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of each action you take in life; they all have consequences, good and bad. Call your parents, tell them you love them, call your sister, tell her you love her, call your brother, tell him you love him because it changes so fast. Love one another. Its so simple.

|County Agencies Make Their Cases for More $
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 10 May 2013 14:10
The Watauga County budget for 2013-14 is on the table, and was on the conference room table late yesterday afternoon and into the evening. County Manager Deron Geouque presented a brief at Tuesday's commission meeting, outlining a budget with no tax increase,
but a number of increases for departments, agencies—and county employees.The county commissioners sat down with the Watauga County Board of Education and school staff, and Assistant Superintendent David Fonseca talked about major changes and challenges for the school year, including implementation of a new core curriculum. Fonseca said that a new curriculum without new funding is creating a number of issues, especially how to fund the training. Watauga Commission Chair Nathan Miller had questions about the school's $3 million fund balance, and Fonseca explained that the system will have to use some of that, but the amount is the recommended as a safety net for the schools. Sheriff Len Hagaman told of the challenges his office is facing with rising requirements and rising costs, asking for funding beyond Geoque's recommendation. The budget will face the public hearing before adoption, which has to come before June 30th.

Do some Good…Get some Awesome. Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project in London, ONShare Tweet
Can't believe we're already halfway through the summer and halfway through our Red Leaf events!
This past weekend Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project was in London, ON. Next up we travel West to Edmonton for a park project at Sherriff Robertson.
Huge thanks to the Red Leaf volunteers who gathered in Gibbons Park on a very, very hot and humid day. The volunteers were taught about the benefits of adding mulch (wood chips and leaves) around the base of newly planted trees and shrubs – this helps to retain moisture in hot dry months, keep weeds from growing around trees, and provides fertilizer to increase the nutrients in the soil.
The group also removed approximately 30 garbage bags full of weeds, and one bag full of litter from the park. Thanks to everyone and have a GREAT time at Rock the Park

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Bangor police say three bodies have been found in a burned out car in an industrial park. Radio announcer Kat Walls, who was on her way to work, says she called 911 reported a car fire at Target Industrial Park early Monday morning.
Police say they received the call just after 3:30 a.m. When emergency crews arrived at the parking lot of Automatic Distributors, they found three bodies inside the car. The State Fire Marshal's office is helping the Bangor police investigate.
The state's deputy chief medical examiner also is on the scene and police are checking surveillance video from Automatic Distributors as well as from Stratham Tire, across the street. Stratham Tire manager Jeff Gordon says the video shows two cars pull into the lot just before the fire.
Shortly after 1 p.m., police said the bodies had been removed from the car, which has Rhode Island plates. The bodies have been taken to the State Medical Examiner's office for an autopsy. Police said that would likely happen either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.
Investigators also are inspecting the vehicle.
Sgt. Paul Edwards says the deaths are considered suspicious and police are hoping to talk to witnesses. Anyone who was in the area of outer Hammond Street near this location around 3:30 this morning and saw anyone or anything that could assist them in this case is asked to call at 947-7382. Anonymous tips will also be accepted. Press 6 to leave a message on the Tip Line.

Read/Picture: The Banner The Rangers Have Hung This Year
In the NY Times, Jeff Klein and Ken Belson write about the banner hanging at MSG representing the Rangers Atlantic Division Title last season. They write that even though the Rangers had the most points in the Eastern Conference last season they didn't hang a banner because they didn't win the Eastern Conference in the playoffs.
They add that there would not have been a banner raising ceremony because they want to save occasions like those for the team's "higher aspirations."

Features of Dr. Scholl's Graduated Compression Socks
Dr. Scholl's graduated compression socks are properly constructed by maximizing pressure at the ankle with a gradual release as it goes up the leg. This scientifically designed sock technology encourages blood flow to move up the leg to help reduce swelling and blood clots while energizing feet and legs.
A perfect fitting sock is critical when it comes to graduated compression socks. It is most important to measure your ankle and calf circumference to select the sock that fits you perfectly. With our wide assortment of styles and sizes, you will find that comfort is just a click away.
To receive the utmost comfort from a sock, it must have a smooth toe seam. Dr. Scholl�s Therapeutic compression socks are knit with a smooth toe seam to eliminate the nagging irritation caused by standard, bulky seams.
Notes from our Certified Fitters:Always contact your physician and or therapist to determine the correct compression strength for your condition. Compression garments should be replaced after six months of normal wear. They start losing their effectiveness after that time. If they seem to be getting looser, than you are not receiving the maximum benefits of their compression strength.
Since the inception of the Dr. Scholl's® brand in 1906, one goal remains in the forefront of all product innovation. . . comfort.
Providing comfort to men and women through Dr. Scholl's® products is their focus. Dr. Scholl's socks provide the utmost satisfaction for your feet. Dr. Scholl's is America's number one brand of foot care products, providing comfort to millions for more than a century. Dr. Scholl's will continue to lead the way in foot comfort and technology and is proud to be the most trusted name in foot care.
Care Instructions:
For Hosiery Stockings: Hand wash in warm water with mild soap. If hosiery is extremely stretched out after wear, washing in slightly warmer water may return them to original shape.
For Compression Socks: Hand or machine wash in warm water with mild soap.
For all compression garments:
See package insert for further information and instructions.
Sigvaris, Jobst, Juzo, and Mediven make special Washing Solutions specially designed to help maintain the quality of compression garments and extend their life.
It is recommended that you mark the leg with a non-permanent, non-toxic marker at each circumference measurement made.
Measurements should always be taken as soon as possible after waking when swelling is minimum
Measure next to bare skin
The measuring system is based on having the foot flat against the floor
Measurements must be taken by pulling the tape snugly around the leg but without constriction
Measurements should be taken from the ground up
Many factors contribute to the overall health of our legs: heredity, weight, age, diet and activity level. But it's the internal function of the legs that also plays an important role: calf muscles, arteries, veins, and vein valves--the internal highway of blood and oxygen flow.
Your Circulation:The flow of blood in the veins is assisted by a series of one-way valves. The valves remain open when the blood flows toward the heart, and then closed after blood passes through. Over time, an increase in pressure can stretch the vein walls. If a vein becomes enlarged and over-stretched the valves cannot close properly, causing blood to leak back down into the lower legs, resulting in poor circulation.
If this happens you may begin to develop symptoms, such as:
Using Compression Therapy:Graduated compression stockings and socks are important to leg health. They help minimize muscle aches, swelling, and symptoms of fatigue. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle will strengthen your legs, but wearing graduated compression stockings or socks will support the internal function of the veins.

Our Certified Fitters recommend that donning gloves always be worn when applying your compression garments. These gloves have a gripping texture that makes it considerably easier to put on compression hose. Donning gloves also help to prevent tearing, snagging or putting a nail or finger through the garment. This is especially true with the sheer compression hosiery.
MetroMedicalOnline offers a large selection of Donning Gloves and other donning aids in our Compression Accessories section, including the Juzo Slippie Gator, Sigvaris Extensors, and Mediven Butler, all designed to assist the pulling on and removal of compression stockings.
We also recommend either Sigvaris, Juzo, or Jobst Jolastic Special Washing Solutions for maintaining the quality of compression garments. Jobst Jolastic Wash is formulated to remove oil, body acids, and skin salts quickly and easily without damage to the fabric. This specially designed solution will help extend the life of all elastic garments. The ingredients in Jobst ensure excellent soil removal and are mild to the user's hands.
Many of our customers love Alps Fitting lotion. ALPS 100% Silicone Fitting Lotion Skin Conditioner for Sensitive Skin leaves a smooth, silky feel to sensitive skin that is chapped and dry. When used before putting on stockings, ALPS fitting lotion helps prevent snags and facilitates donning of compression garments.
You will find other useful products in our Compression Accessories department, including compression bandages, adhesives, pads, donning devices, and detergents.

News: Mike Pelfrey Bumped, Santos and F-Mart to AAA
According to Marty Noble of MLB.com, a person with knowledge of the Mets pitching plans says they might move Jon Niese to the third spot in the rotation, with Maine and Perez to follow.
…if this were the case, then it looks like Pelfrey would remain in the number two spot in the rotation…either way, it appears the Mets are at least recognizing the problems behind Johan Santana in the rotation…
Original Post, 6:41 pm:
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York says Mike Pelfrey will not be starting the second game of the season against the Marlins at Citi Field.
…interesting…i wonder if John Maine will get the start over Pelfrey, and what this means for the rest of the rotation…
Pelfrey is expected to start on Friday night against the Rays at Tropicana Field, followed by Oliver Perez and Jon Niese on Saturday against the Orioles in Sarasota.
In addition, Rubin says both Omir Santos and Fernando Martinez will start the season at Triple-A Buffalo.

By Jessica Bakeman, Albany Bureau
ALBANY -- A panel of education experts on Wednesday presented to Gov. Andrew Cuomo a series of recommendations for reforming New York's public education system, including suggestions to expand pre-kindergarten programs and consolidate schools and districts to save money.
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read the report
Cuomo, who formed the commission last April to brainstorm the state's reform efforts, called the panel's recommendations "very well done, exciting, bold," although they'll be politically controversial and expensive to implement.
New York spends more money per student than any other state, but produces relatively low graduation and college- and career-readiness rates.
The Education Reform Commission's eight preliminary recommendations, which they presented at a governor's cabinet meeting at the Capitol, were developed after the group held 11 public hearings around the state.
At the meetings, which began in July, education officials from each region offered testimony on problems facing New York's students and how the state could help boost quality and effectiveness.
"The education bureaucracy has been running the education program, and the students got lost," Cuomo said, discussing the current state of public schooling in New York. "The education system is about the student. You have to flip the dynamic from making it work for the bureaucracy to making it work for the customer."
Cuomo said at the cabinet meeting he would consider the recommendations for inclusion in his State of the State speech Jan. 9, through which he will lay out his agenda for the year. He said Wednesday that he agreed that many of the panel's recommendations would be effective.
The governor said he agreed "100 percent" that expanding pre-K would be the right move, but he was not sure whether it would be financially possible.
He also expressed support for the recommendation that the state expands either the school day or year or both, but that the change would be "highly controversial, as well as expensive."
Among the other recommendations were to build "community schools," where students can come for education as well as other services, such as health care; to pursue cost savings by consolidating districts and creating regional high schools and to enhance use of technology in the classroom.
The commission, which includes state Education Commissioner John King and State University of New York Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, will present a final report in the fall.

Brand: Flowmaster Part Numbers:
Flowmaster® has its roots in solving the engine noise problems encountered by California racers in the 1980s. In 1983 Flowmaster's founder, Ray Flugger, created his first patented design of racing silencers, which dampened noise with minimal loss of power. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase mufflers." Today, the innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing.

Eartha Kitt
Rahav Segev for The New York Times
Eartha Kitt, who purred and pounced her way across Broadway stages, died on Dec. 25, 2008. She was 81.
Ms. Kitt's lyric-licking voice and renewable stage energy helped power a show-business career across more than six decades. Ms. Kitt, who began performing as a dancer in New York in the late '40s, went on to achieve success and acclaim on Broadway, recordings, film and television, long before other entertainment multitaskers like Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler. With her curvaceous frame and unabashed vocal come-ons, she was also, along with Lena Horne, among the first widely known African-American sex symbols. Orson Welles famously proclaimed her "the most exciting woman alive" in the early '50s. Her singing style would later be the template for other singers with small-but-sensual voices like Diana Ross, Janet Jackson and Madonna, who recorded a cover version of "Santa Baby," Kitt's biggest hit, in 1987.
From practically the beginning of her career, as critics gushed over Ms. Kitt they also began to describe her in every feline term imaginable: her voice "purred" or "was like catnip''; she was a "sex kitten" who "slinked" or was "on the prowl" across the stage, sometimes "flashing her claws." Appropriately enough, she was tapped to play Catwoman in the 1960s TV series "Batman." Yet for all the camp appeal and sexually-charged hauteur of Ms. Kitt's cabaret act, she was also a dramatic actress who appeared in the films "The Mark of the Hawk" with Sidney Poitier (1957) and "Anna Lucasta" (1959) with Sammy Davis Jr. She earned her first Tony nomination for her work in "Timbuktu," an all-black remake of "Kismet," in 1978. Later she dabbled in dance music and even children's programming.
All the while she remained a fixture on the cabaret circuit. Even after discovering in 2006 that she had colon cancer, she made a triumphantly insouciant return to the Café Carlyle in New York. Stephen Holden, writing in The Times in September 2007, said that Ms. Kitt's voice was "in full growl." — Rob Hoerberger

CANTON Anthony W. Lalonde stared silently at the defense table as the verdict was read.
After nine days of testimony, more than two-dozen witnesses, closing arguments and about four hours of deliberation since Monday afternoon, nine men and three women filed into a St. Lawrence County courtroom at 1:43 p.m. Tuesday. The jury pronounced Lalonde, 32, Ogdensburg, guilty of first-degree robbery, then guilty of second-degree murder in the Nov. 18, 2010, death of Ralph E. Gene Lawton.
Mr. Lawton, 83, who lived in an upstairs apartment at 930 Ford St., Ogdensburg, died of injuries suffered in a scuffle after three masked men burst in demanding cash and drugs shortly before 6 p.m. that afternoon.
As Lalonde stood still, his two co-defendants learned their fate: Michael S. Thorpe, 26, and Michael D. Durand, 30, also Ogdensburg residents, both were found not guilty of the same charges.
Mr. Thorpe covered his face. Mr. Durand cried.
But only one man walked free. Mr. Durand was returned to the county lockup in Canton to await a May 20 sentencing date in an unrelated burglary case.
Lalonde faces 25 years to life when he is sentenced on July 8.
Relatives of Lalonde and Mr. Durand quietly left the building. Mr. Thorpe said little as his defense attorney, William John Galvin, answered reporters questions, praising jurors and the jury system.
Its still unbelievable. Id like to thank Mr. Galvin, Mr. Thorpe said quietly.
I just want to see my kids, Mr. Thorpe added, before following his lawyer down the stairs toward freedom.
Mr. Durands attorney, Gary W. Miles, said his client was steadfast in maintaining his innocence.
We did have a couple of pretty good plea bargain offers on the table that in my experience, most clients would have taken.
My fear in this case was that I had a guy who was not guilty and that he might be found guilty, Mr. Miles said.
For Lalonde and his attorney, Lloyd G. Grandy II, such fears were realized Tuesday afternoon.
Frankly, Im surprised. I thought the evidence that went in made it clear that my client wasnt there on the night that this occurred, Mr. Grandy said.
The prosecutions case aimed to prove differently, producing forensic evidence showing that Lalondes DNA could not be excluded from a glove found in the kitchen of the apartment Mr. Lawton shared with Guy C. Bartlett.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen, who prosecuted the case, reminded reporters Tuesday how a scientist from the state police crime lab in Albany testified that there was a 1 in 51.23 million chance of a random individual matching the DNA profile attributed to Lalonde.
One of the most important pieces of evidence that we had in this case was that Mr. Lalondes DNA was found in the glove that was left behind at the scene, Ms. Nissen said.
Testimony revealed no DNA evidence linking Mr. Durand or Mr. Thorpe to the scene.
Ms. Nissen and District Attorney Nicole M. Duve both acknowledged that the prosecution had stronger evidence against Lalonde than his co-defendants.
Ms. Nissen said she had discussed that with members of Mr. Lawtons family, and that they were pleased with the outcome.
Of the three defendants, only Mr. Thorpe took the stand in his own defense.
Mr. Thorpe testified that the day of the incident, he drove his girlfriends car a block and a half to 930 Ford St. at about 5:30 p.m. and went upstairs, where he saw Mr. Lawton and Mr. Bartlett eating pizza. After talking about the pizza and a debt he owed Mr. Lawton, Thorpe said he paid $40 for 40 milligrams of OxyContin, went home and then smoked the pill in his bedroom.
Mr. Thorpe said he played no part in the planning or execution of any robbery, and that Mr. Durand was back at his apartment the whole time.
Mr. Bartlett was 18 miles away from the St. Lawrence County Courthouse Tuesday afternoon, sitting in his kitchen in the same spot where he was the afternoon three masked men broke in and terrorized him and his roommate.
He pointed to the spot where Mr. Lawton had been knocked onto the floor, and where the intruders tossed Mr. Bartlett, then 64, onto the older, smaller man.
According to a forensic examiners testimony, a pre-existing aortic aneurysm in Mr. Lawtons abdomen burst, causing fatal internal bleeding.
If there were three guys here, why werent there three guys convicted? Mr. Bartlett said, acknowledging that he never did see the faces of those three men.
Mr. Bartlett doesnt deny that Mr. Lawton was deep into the drug trade, even enlisting his help making transactions. He also remembered his roommate as a good-hearted man.
You cant begin to believe what he would do for a fella, Mr. Bartlett said.
He only disputed one thing Tuesday: Mr. Thorpes testimony that he openly visited the apartment before the intruders to buy drugs the day of the robbery.
It didnt happen that way, Mr. Bartlett said, shaking his head. It didnt happen that way.

My wife fell and broke her leg and was in Castleview Hospital.
While there she had stomach problems and had a stay of 10 days. Dr. Engar, Dr. Boyle, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Cox and Dr. Potter took care of her in a most efficient and professional way.
In my opinion, we have the finest staff right here in Carbon County.
I would also like to compliment Dannette Moynier for her compassion and humor, which helped my wife to laugh through the whole thing. Dr. Monahan and Tiffany Monahan were so gentle with my wife.
We have a great staff of nurses and pink ladies as well.
I have great respect for all at Castleview Hospital.

ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - In today's technological world everything can be done online or on a smartphone.
Many of us do not think twice when we log onto our computers, but behind the scenes there is a group of people fighting to make sure our most private information stays private.
The annual Northeast Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition puts college students against some of the nation's best hackers to ensure the next generation is ready for anything.
Director of this year's NECCDC George Markowsky said, "You can only learn so much in the classroom and at some point you need to confront the real world."
Ten teams compete in a three day event where they go against some of the world's best hackers.
Markowsky said, "They are trying all the gimmicks and things that hackers use...teams have to figure out how to recover from that, how to defend, how to protect those services from those kinds of attacks."
Increasing technology calls for new and innovative ways to ward off attacks. These students said they want the public to be aware of the dangers and the efforts that go into keeping their information private.
University of Maine team captain Sean Lyford said, "Some people kind of just nod their head and say 'Yes, it's important,' but I don't think they ever really appreciate what's going on.
For those students hoping to make a career in cyber security, this competition is imperative to their learning.
Champlain College team captain Matthiew Morin said, "Cyber security has become a huge threat to national standards and what not. And being able to come in here as students and go against some of the best industry professional hackers in the world and kind of see what we are going to experience in the real world going into security it's amazing."
The winners of the Northeast division will move onto the national championship in Texas next month.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors present an interesting analysis of a single institution's treatment experience. The use of elective nodal radiation in lung cancer is certainly controversial. We have a difficult time managing this cancer, and even high doses of radiation often will not prevent a local failure. It would be useful to know whether the nodal failures were seen primarily in higher stage patients. It may be safe to omit nodal radiation in early stage patients, as has been previously suggested from other studies. However, patients with bulky bilateral adenopathy probably carry a significant risk of subclinical nodal disease in the draining lymph node regions. Sometimes, we may have to eliminate nodal radiation in patients with poor lung function due to years of heavy cigarette smoking, yet it may be safe to treat large radiation volumes in patients with healthy lungs. These are all difficult questions to answer. For now, elective nodal radiation can either be defended or argued against depending on the literature one reads. The decision to use elective nodal irradiation will continue to lie independently with the managing physician.

Trinity, NC (WFMY) -- A teen mother is upset with the Randolph County School
system because they won't allow her senior yearbook photo to
be published.
The school asked students to bring props for their photo. Caitlin
Tiller, who attends Wheatmore High School, took her picture holding her
"This is ridiculous because, if people can bring their football,
their musical instrument, their pets, with their siblings. But I can't
take a picture with my son? I don't understand," said Tiller.
The school's yearbook advisor told her, the picture would be pulled
because a baby in a school yearbook photo was not school related.
Tiller said she told about the picture being pulled, just two days
before the yearbooks were to be printed. And she believes the yearbook
photo guidelines were unclear.
According to Tiller, the school offered some other options. They
wanted her to provide another photo or use the picture with her son, but
in the "Senior Advertising" section of the back yearbook.
Tiller told WFMY News 2, it's time for the school system to embrace
her accomplishment publicly. She didn't quit school, even when her life
Tiller feels she's not alone; 43% of North Carolina teen girls were
pregnant in 2011, according to the state of adolescent health and
helpful resources.
"I want everyone to see that you can make a mistake and you can
overcome it. And then I don't want to say Leelin is a mistake, because
he's not. But everyone bumps their heads," said Tiller.
A Wheatmore High School representative said the school stands by its
decision not to publish the picture. And the spokesperson added,
Wheatmore High School will no longer allow students to use props in
their photos.
As for Tiller and her son, they recently celebrated Leelin's first
birthday in April. Tiller is also in college and working a part-time

BUFFALO, NY - When Jeff Aichinger turned 50 a few weeks ago, he knew he didn't want to celebrate with a big party or gifts -- at least no gifts for himself.
Instead the Akron resident decided he wanted to raise money for an organization that he has been a part of since childhood.
"A lot of people have the thought that Boys and Girls clubs are not much more than a big basketball group, and nothing could be farther from the truth. There are education opportunities, life skills opportunity here, character development, and social development," said Aichinger.
He and his wife donated $2500 -- $50 for each of his 50 years -- and he pledged 50 hours of volunteer time with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Buffalo.
Aichinger is hoping other Western New Yorkers will follow his lead and donate time or money.
So far the effort, which he dubbed "50 Years and One Project," has raised nearly $5000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs.
Click here to learn more about the project or to donate.
Donations will benefit the Food and Nutrition Program at the clubs, which provides more than 1,000 nutritious meals and snacks to club members each day.
There's also an education component where parents of club members can learn more about healthy eating and cooking.
"There is the ability to get a good healthy meal which unfortunately some kids don't get at home," said Aichinger.

|Deer Crashes into Door at Boone Big Lots
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 03 December 2012 04:41
There was some excitement at the Big Lots Store in New Market Center yesterday afternoon, as shoppers witnessed a startled deer running toward the store. Ben Harmon reported to GoBlueRidge.net that at 3:30, the deer "knocked itself cold when running in the door" of the store.
He said it was first spotted "running through the parking lot, then onto the sidewalk at Lowes Foods, then very fast straight into big lots door." The unconscious animal landed at the feet of a blow-up Santa and snowman. Boone Police were called to deal with the animal.

GORHAM - Senior forward Jordan Grant (Concord, N.H.) scored a career-high 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for her second consecutive double-double to lead the 23rd-ranked University of Southern Maine Huskies to a nail-biting 60-55 win over the Western Connecticut State University Colonials in a Little East Conference women's basketball game Saturday afternoon at Hill Gymnasium in Gorham, Maine.
The win is the eighth straight for the Huskies who remain undefeated at 8-0 and move to 2-0 in the Little East. The loss is the second straight for Western Connecticut which falls to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in the Little East.
Grant and the Huskies overcame a sub-par shooting performance and a rallying Colonials team to pull out the win. Grant, who was just 3-for-8 from the field, was a calm and collected 13-for-13 from the free throw line, including a perfect 7-for-7 in the final minutes of the game to help seal the victory. Sophomore forward Rebecca Knight (Alfred, Maine/McAuley) added 17 points and grabbed a career-high six steals for the Huskies.
Senior guard Jackie Zilnicki (Riverhead, N.Y.) and freshman forward Sha'Quira Palmer (Stratford, Conn/Bunnell) each scored 11 points to lead the Colonials. Zilinicki had a team-high eight rebounds, while sophomore guard Caroline Brasa (East Hartford, Conn./East Catholic) added 10 points and five rebounds off of the bench.
Despite holding a 12-point, 37-35, advantage early in the second, the Huskies saw their lead dwindle away and found themselves trailing Western Connecticut by three, 44-41 with 10:25 to play. After a steal and a layup from Knight to put the Huskies up 37-35 with 19:08 to play, Southern Maine went ice cold from the floor making just two of its next nine shots while turning the five times in the ensuing nine minutes. The Colonials capitalized on the Huskies' miscues with a 19-4. Four different Western Connecticut players scored in the run, led by seven points from Zilnicki.
Both teams battled over the next seven minutes as Grant kept the Huskies in the game at the free throw line while sophomore Taylor Flood (Sanford, Maine) made key defensive plays down the stretch. Trailing 53-52 with 3:42 to play after a three-pointer from Western senior guard Nicole Eanniello (Danbury, Conn.), Grant sank a pair of free throws, her seventh consecutive, to secure the Huskies lead 54-53 with 3:18 to play to start an 8-2 run to close out the game and seal the win. A steal from Flood led to a Knight basket, before senior guard Nicole Garland (Portland, Maine/Deering) snagged a defensive rebound and hit two free throws to extend USM's lead to 58-53 with 20 seconds to play.
A jumper from Zilnicki with eight seconds remaining trimmed the Western deficit to 58-55, but Knight dribble her way through the Western press and found Flood open for the 60-55 final as time expired.
Southern Maine shot just 34.7 percent (17-for-49) from the field, but was a solid 25-for-28 from the free throw line. The Colonials finished the game shooting 32.1 percent (17-for-53).

HARPSWELL, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- An invasive species known as Winter Moth has invaded the town of Harpswell. The moths feed on plants and trees, especially hard woods. State entomologists believe that they were carried into Maine by summer residents who brought domestic plants with them.
"Please leave your hostas at home," said Charlene Donahue of the Maine Forest Service. She discovered the infestation in Harpswell and believes the insects are confined to a four hundred acre area.
The insect gets its name because the male moths appear in the late fall and early winter months. Female moths, which don't have wings, lay eggs on the trunks and branches of trees. The eggs hatch into inchworms that feed on the buds and entire leaves of trees.
Property owners can spray for the moths in early May or wrap their trees in sticky bands. These bands will prevent the female caterpillars from scaling the trees.
The state Department of Conservation reports that a parasitic fly was released in Nova Scotia and helps keep the Winter Moth population under control there. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts are rearing and releasing the same fly in Massachusetts and hope that it will soon be at high enough numbers to reduce the Winter Moth populations to manageable levels.
Donahue said, "We have found this invasive insect relatively quickly due to an alert landowner," Donahue said. "Hopefully by using the flies as bio-control agents, we will be able to get the problem under control quickly and it will not spread further."

FORT COVINGTON - The Salmon River Central School District Board of Education voted 5 to 2 to appoint Sheila Marshall to fill a vacant board seat at a special meeting Monday night, with board members Michael Sisto and Christopher Nye dissenting.
Ms. Marshalls appointment comes at a time when the board is looking at a minority Native American representation of a student body that officials says is about 65 percent Native American. The sole Native member, up until Monday night, was board Vice President Emily Lauzon.
The board was divided at a May 13 meeting as to how to fill the seat that Clarissa Terrance-Chatland resigned in April. Board President Judith Stark and Ms. Lauzon were vocal proponents of appointing Ms. Marshall, and they were supported by Jim Ransom, president of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Councils education committee. Mr. Ransom referred to a gentlemens agreement from years past that the board struck with the tribe to always have two Native members, which Stark touched on during a brief speech in support of Ms. Marshall prior to the vote.
Is that in the form of a resolution somewhere? I dont know. Probably one of those gentlemens agreements, Ms. Stark said.
She implored the board to make the appointment for mainly practical reasons.
I think having three elections in four months is overkill, according to Ms. Stark.
The capital project vote was held in March, and district voters will be heading to the polls today to vote n a proposed budget for 2013-14.
She aid it would cost $2,500 to run a third election.
District resident Ben Kelly spoke in favor of Ms. Marshalls appointment during the public comment portion prior to the meeting. He said he didnt feel that the board was taking the vote out of his hand by granting Ms. Marshall the spot.
Thats why we vote for everyone on this board is making these tough decisions, whether or not its easy or popular, Mr. Kelly said. I think any board is better at its full complement.
During last weeks meeting, Mr. Sisto said he was against appointing Ms. Marshall because he felt the taxpayers should make the call, not the board.
I feel it should be up to the people, he said last week.
Board member Robert Durant, who was absent on Monday, said last week that the board would be striding in uncharted waters by giving Ms. Marshall a nod, tradition has been to let the voters choose.
You do realize weve never appointed anyone before. Weve always had an election. This would be setting a precedent, Mr. Durant said last week.
Mr. Kelly and Ms. Stark both said on Monday that this was inaccurate – a similar board has made three appointments in previous years and left a fourth for the BOCES superintendent.
Mr. Ransom wrote in a letter to the editor last week that one instance in 1995, while Mr. Durant was a board member, turned into what he described as one of the ugliest moments in the history of the Salmon River School Board. He said that Marion Elliot, a non-Native, lost her seat to a Mohawk who he did not name, so the non-Natives on the board had one of their own resign. They then turned around and appointed Ms. Elliot to the seat and voted her board president.
Ms. Marshall is currently director for SUNY Potsdams Center for Diversity and a former head of the tribes higher education program. She is a 1973 Salmon River graduate. Prior to her being voted in, she told the board that her career in the education field has groomed her for the position.
I learned to work with school personnel and how to handle budgets, she said. The key word for this job is retention.
She said she hopes to work to help more Salmon River students get to college, noting that she has worked in a sort of early intervention program that targets low-income and first-generation college students in middle school and works with them toward higher education.

Generally speaking, we never wear our clothes backwards-not intentionally, that is-but occasionally we come across a look or two that makes us reconsider this sartorial stance. (Don't worry: we're not channeling '90s rap duo Kris Kross!) We spotted an intriguing example of this retrograde trend back in February, when Ashley Olsen decided to reverse her Christian Lacroix couture gown for the ELLE Style Awards in London. Then, just a few months later, Kate Moss executed a front-to-back flip when she turned up at a London launch party for one of her Topshop collections wearing a silk romper stylishly reversed. But while these flashbulb-worthy outfits are both notable, we weren't fully sold on this idea until we noticed an extremely wearable iteration of this trend on Marc Jacobs' F/W 10 runway. One look and we knew: it was time to break out the backwards cardigan!
Though the Jacobs' high-end collection is full of loads of lovely knits this season-the Fair Isle Sweater ($820) and the Hand-Knit Fisherman's Sweater ($1400) are two yummy options-our jaws nearly dropped to the floor when we first spied the chartreuse Backwards Crew-Neck Cardigan ($995, available here in eggplant) strolling down the runway. Bold in color, simple in silhouette, and styled backwards with a floor-length draped skirt in yellow ombre sequins, this sweater is a total stunner. If the aforementioned reasons aren't enough, consider this: the cardigan's buttons are bejeweled, which means a dramatic departure is guaranteed!
While we certainly encourage you to save up for the exact runway iteration, we also know that not everyone wants to a) wait or b) invest so much in a sweater. As such, after a quick examination of the cardigan, we knew this was the perfect project for our dear friend and do-it-yourself guru, Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This! (If you're not intimately acquainted with Domesek's work, you should get familiar with it at once! Start by checking out her crafty blog and be sure to pick up her newly released book, P.S. I Made This: I See It. I Like It. I Make It., which is filled with even more hands-on, budget-friendly fashion ideas.) Fortunately, this jeweled sweater is easy to approximate, so if you're up to the challenge, dear readers, all you have to do is pick up a few ingredients and follow today's simple D.I.Y. step-by-step instructions and you'll have your very own elegant, Marc Jacobs-esque cardi!-Jessica Baker
Before you start...
First things first: the most important part of this project is picking the right cardigan, so make your selection carefully. Remember that the finished cardigan will be worn completely buttoned, so it's imperative that you pick a style that both fits nicely when done up and flatters your frame. Also, be sure to pay attention to your cardigan's neckline; don't forget that you're going to wear it backwards, so a deep-v or low crewneck might show off too much of your back. You'll also want to make sure that the sweater's buttons are on the smaller side, as the new rhinestone buttons will be applied over the existing ones. And finally, if chartreuse is not your color, no worries-any other hue will do! Now you're ready to DIY!
-1 crewneck cardigan (we used Old Navy's Facet-Button Cardigan ($29.50) in Frog Green)
-Rhinestone, vintage, or otherwise interesting buttons (the number of buttons needed will be determined by the cardigan you use)
-Needle and thread
-Glue gun and glue (if necessary/wanted for better button support)
1. Lay cardigan on your workspace and unbutton it.
2. Line up your rhinestone buttons in a vertical pattern next to each buttonhole.
3. Sew the button flush to the seam of the buttonhole corner closest to the inside. (Note that you are not switching out the original buttons, but rather adding larger, more ornate buttons that will sit on top of the pre-existing ones. Your new buttons should be large enough to completely cover up the smaller, original buttons.)
4. After securing the new, bigger, rhinestone buttons, you may need to glue them (using the hot glue gun) to the cardigan so that they lay flat. If so, wait a few minutes for the glue to try before buttoning the sweater.
5. Button up the cardigan. Your new decorative buttons should now fully cover the original small buttons.
6. To style it in a Marc Jacobs fashion, wear the cardigan so that the buttons are facing the back!
