Lois Stulberg
Lois Stulberg first discovered art in her childhood during a school trip. It was love at first sight.
Her appreciation for art has never diminished. She has spent a lifetime exploring that passion, visiting hundreds of art museums, art galleries and artists throughout the world. During this time, she has also become a collector. It is this deep respect for artistic endeavors that compels her to encourage other people to learn about art's amazing ability to engage the eye and the mind.
It was through Selby Gallery and its director, Kevin Dean, that Stulberg discovered Ringling College of Art and Design. She enjoyed the exhibitions and admired Selby's role as a teaching gallery. So began her special relationship with Ringling College.
A Ringling College trustee since 2003, Stulberg found inspiration in the College's vibrant, creative community. Throughout the years she has seen it grow into the progressive institution it is today. Stulberg actively supports several areas of the College's needs, including endowed scholarships, the Ringling College Library Association, Selby Gallery, Longboat Key Center for the Arts, the Trustee Scholars Program, and Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA).
"I embrace the importance of philanthropy," she says. "I've been blessed because I am able to share my good fortune and have a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of others. Each of us should provide support to the level of our ability."
In addition to Ringling College, Stulberg is involved in other philanthropic causes in Sarasota—including many creative and performing arts organizations—and helps provide public school art education programming. Her charitable kindness extends to cutting-edge medical research and several Jewish philanthropies.
But SMOA and Ringling are special to her. Stulberg was thrilled to join the founding members in establishing SMOA, now a division of Ringling College. She is passionate about the museum's mission—to showcase modern, contemporary and emerging art—and its value to the community. Today, Stulberg serves as vice president on SMOA's board and is spearheading the organization's ARTmuse Program.
Continuing her past generosity and honoring her late husband, The David and Lois Stulberg Foundation has donated more than $340,000 during Ringling College's current Pathway to Preeminence Campaign, including a major gift to SMOA.
"I believe each person can make a difference in their own lives and for others," she says. "Supporting Ringling and SMOA is my way of making a difference. I treasure my commitment as a trustee and volunteer. Ringling College is a very special place and I would help in any way I could."

PAWTUCKET — While the City Council is typically granted the information it asks for, the need to protect the anonymity of undercover police officers trumped a request for details about the purchases of vehicles made by the city administration outside of normal purchasing procedures.
In the wake of the investigation into retired Pawtucket Police Officer Kenneth Provost and his now- admitted theft of gasoline from the city garage, it came to light that he, as a licensed car dealer in Massachusetts, had bought and sold vehicles for the city for use by the Police Department for the past decade. At the last City Council meeting, several counselors had raised questions about this practice and said they wanted to hear more about it from the purchasing director and police chief.
On Wednesday, Purchasing Director David Clemente and Police Chief Paul King appeared before the council to speak about the practice that has been going on since 2002 and involves the Pawtucket-based car dealership, Leer's Auto Sales. Both city officials said the practice had been implemented in order to protect the safety of the Special Squad officers and their families and to prevent any of the vehicles from being traced.
According to numerous sources in the city, Provost has a family connection to Leer's Auto Sales. However, he has no ownership in the business.
King said the money used to purchase the vehicles comes out of a "seized vehicle account" in the city budget. He explained that when cars are confiscated from drug dealers, they go through the forfeiture process and are sold. The proceeds then go into this revolving account, which is used to purchase different vehicles for the undercover officers. He said the account currently has about $25,573 in it.
The chief said this had been done over the years through Leer's Auto Sales, where the cars would be purchased at auction. He said these vehicles were only those used by the Special Squad, and noted that 42 other unmarked vehicles that are currently assigned to members of the Police Department were procured through the normal purchasing methods.
King added that he could not provide the City Council with the individual makes and models of the cars because then the information would be part of public record, and the cars would be rendered useless. He said he felt "absolutely" that measures such as these must be taken to ensure the cars cannot be traced back to any Special Squad officer.
Clemente noted that the practice of buying the cars through Leer's dates back to 2002, when the previous mayor, police chief and purchasing director came up with a "three signature" sign-off system. He said that no money was taken up front as a commission, but when the Police Department was finished with a vehicle and wanted to sell it, the dealer would take a commission on the sale. He added that Leer's was considered "a trusted partner" by city officials.
Clemente said that since 2010, six cars had been procured in this manner, the last one in February. He said, however, that since the issue came to light, the Grebien administration is tightening the process, requiring an additional signature and an electronic purchasing system that will record the date and time of the transaction.
Clemente also said that an RFP (request for proposals) will soon be going out seeking bids for a dealership or body shop to represent the city at auctions when additional undercover vehicles are needed.
The City Council seemed satisfied with the explanation and agreed that the safety of the undercover officers should not be compromised. City Councilor Thomas Hodge also noted that Leer's Auto Sales, which had been mentioned on numerous occasions in the discussion, "has not done anything wrong" and said the administration was simply tightening up the vehicle purchasing procedure.
Council President David Moran commented that while there had been some "bad" that came out of the situation regarding Officer Provost, "maybe some good will come out of it."

The Watertown Family YMCAs focus on community engagement will help Ys throughout the country focus on their third pillar of foundation: social responsibility.
Because the Watertown branch already has some related practices in place, it was one of six in the nation selected to participate in a pilot program to develop a social responsibility outline for all Y organizations to follow.
Its the Y supporting the community ... which is truly what the Y should do, said Rebecca L. Reed, the Watertown Ys executive director of community engagement.
She said the Watertown Family Y, which includes the Downtown Y, Fairgrounds Y and Carthage Y, is ahead of the curve because the board of directorss vision has enabled the agency to assimilate its members into a variety of community projects and activities. Participation in the Watertown Urban Missions Dollar Dinners program and the Building Blocks program, where community agencies and churches help remodel city homes, are perfect examples, Mrs. Reed said.
The 5,000-member Watertown Family YMCA has a social responsibility committee made up of board and community members. Ideas and activities here will be shared with the five other Ys through a few trips to Chicago. Until March, those agencies will meet to put together a model for any Y to use to incorporate social responsibility into its operations.
Well take it out and test it, with the expectation well roll it out in July at our national assembly, Mrs. Reed said. Were committed to doing it well and right.
At Ys throughout the country, she said, social responsibility is to inspire community members to become involved in building a better community through sharing of their time and talents. Volunteer recruitment then becomes important.
Mrs. Reed said all six participating Ys have different volunteer programs in place. The Watertown Family YMCA recently hired part-time Volunteer Director Kelly Richmond to help match both Y and community members with volunteer opportunities.
That is critical to the success of this, Mrs. Reed said.
I think members will appreciate being a part of something thats bigger than just themselves. Its important to have everyone involved, she said. Its a very exciting time for the Y. This brings us back to our roots as a volunteer organization.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 05/02/08, 12:04pm:
The early termination deadline for Elton Brand and Corey Maggette is June 30, 2008. Let's assume – though Clipperblog puts nothing past the front office – that both Elton and Corey make their decisions known to the brass prior to the NBA draft the previous Wednesday. And, hypothetically, let's assume also that Elton plays out his deal, while Corey Maggette exercises his option to leave.
This leaves the Clippers with the following:
PG Brevin Knight
PG Shaun Livingston [qualifying offer]*
SG Cuttino Mobley
SF Al Thornton
SF/PF Tim Thomas
PF Elton Brand
PF Josh Powell
C Chris Kaman
Quinton Ross is a free agent and, given Mike Dunleavy's affinity for his defensive game, it seems reasonable that he'd re-sign with the Clippers, though it's likely that Q will have his tires kicked by a few other teams. The qualifying offer on Shaun is a hefty $5.8M. One tack the Clippers could take would be to pass on the 5th year and try to ink Shaun to a cheaper deal. Any way you slice it – provided Elton returns – the Clippers will be looking to fill a gaping hole in the backcourt.
The NBA being the NBA, the Clips' draft position is absurdly elastic. The Clippers have a 7.5% chance of scoring the first pick…and a 4% chance of falling as far as 8th or 9th:
It's patently obvious that Derrick Rose is the Mother Lode. Unfortunately, Rose has risen from the consensus #2 to a possible #1, stretching the likelihood that the Clippers could nab to…well…let's say about 10%.
Given the breadth of outcome, let's break down the scenarios:
Clippers choose 1st: Rose -- for all the reasons stipulated by virtually everyone who writes about, follows, digests, plays, or narrates basketball. Preternatural court vision, an ability to run both deliberate halfcourt sets and feverish transition play, an excellent mid-range game and – just as important – an ability to find the spot where he can get an open 15-footer. With the possible exception of Russell Westbrook, he pressures opposing PGs better than any collegian – and has the size to match up against most shooting guards. Simply put, Derrick Rose knows exactly where he's supposed to be on a basketball court to maximize his team's fortunes.
Clippers choose 2nd: If Memphis snags the first pick, it's likely they'll go with Beasley because they have no fewer than 14 point guards under contract. Miami is a question mark. But it's safe to assume that Minnesota and Seattle would both go with Rose as their #1 picks. The question is: Do the Clippers take Michael Beasley with the second pick if Rose is off the board? The answer is probably yes. Even if Elton exercises his option, there's absolutely no guarantee that he returns in 2009 when he's an unrestricted free agent. Beasley is unique: A 6' 10" power forward who can power in the post, shoot the 3, rebound with reckless abandon, and slash. Imagine the Clips with two ambidextrous big men.
Clippers choose 3rd: Now we're into the Land of the Combo Guards: Jerryd Bayless, O.J. Mayo, and Eric Gordon. In the minds of people who follow this stuff the closest, Gordon's stock has fallen measurably behind the other two. Narrowed down to Bayless and Mayo, Bayless is the more capable point. But Mayo plays much bigger, even though he has only about an inch on Bayless. Mayo critics claim he dozes on defense, but he blanketed Bayless when the two matched up during the PAC-10 season. Bayless isn't a defensive slouch either, as Kevin O'Neill pushed him hard on that end. It's a coin flip, but I'd go with Bayless because with Thornton situated at the 3, an Al-OJ duo on the wing would produce a lot of inefficiency on many a night.
Clippers choose 6th: This is the Clippers' most likely position and they'll probably miss out on both Bayless and Mayo, leaving them with Eric Gordon. At the outset of the college season, Gordon was grouped with Mayo and Rose as the top guards in the nation. But after he injured his wrist in a late-January practice, he lost a bit of his luster. Clipperblog hasn't seen too much of Gordon, but a quick look reveals a solid NBA body, and a fluid shot with a quick release and beautiful follow-through. That much is certain, even with limited viewing.
Clippers choose 7th: A lot of fans like D.J. Augustin and feel that [the lack of] backcourt size is underrated. But the best lesson in the hazards of a 5' 11" point guard – even one with Augustin's quickness – came in the Texas v. Memphis game in the South Region final. Rose destroyed Augustin every which way an opposing point guard can. The better choice here would be Russell Westbrook – arguably the best defensive guard on the board. Like Bayless, Mayo, and Gordon, Westbrook is a combo. But watching him perform throughout the season and into the tourney, his vision and judgment suggest a player who can grow into a PG role – though he's better in transition than in the halfcourt. It's a testimony to Ben Howland that among Westbrook's strongest assets is his smart off-the-ball work. There's just an undeniable NBA-style tinge to Westbrook's game – and, oh, some freaky athleticism to go with it.
Clippers choose 8th or 9th: Shudder at the thought. And it would take two leap-frogs by teams behind the Clips for it to happen, so let's hope that probability wins out. But if it comes to this, the pickings become very, very slim. There's Augustin who – again – I think is an NBA backup PG with glaring liabilities. The Clippers could go with a shooting guard here like Chase Budinger, but the big guard's iffy defensive game doesn't conform to Mike Dunleavy's style. Do you take a chance with Chris Douglas-Roberts at the 2? He ranks well below the Top 10 in most mock drafts. But at Memphis, CDR put up the kind of collegiate stats that ESPN guru John Hollinger believes are solid predictors of NBA success. He's certainly more of a transition maven than a creator, but he's also a top-notch defender with some serious length.
Will Elgin take the podium in Seacaucus? I'd send a Fazekas-Thornton unity ticket.

A few years ago a local yarn store decided to have a meetup for Ravelers, and they were holding contests for oldest UFO, best in show, and that sort of thing. One of the prizes would be awarded to the Raveler who wore the most handknits. You could not repeat an item (for example, you could not wear two pairs of socks), but you could wear as many knits as possible to compete for the prize.
I put on everything I had that qualified, and looked pretty silly as a result. I don't mind that kind of silly, as a general rule. I was wearing seven items. Only one other person competed in this category with me.
Denise came in, looking as silly as me, wearing exactly seven handknits. We both won first prize. She also beat me in the Best in Show category, because she is a really, really fabulous knitter.
Since that meetup over two years ago, Denise and I have become great friends. One thing we share is a love of silly hats. Did you ever see that pompom hat (officially the Champagne Fizz Hat) from Interweave Knits Weekend 2009? It came out about the same time as Diane von Furstenberg had a pompom hat in her collection.
Gorgeous, right? (ahem) I love it and Denise loves it, but judging from the comments from the page on Knitting Daily (and the rest of our knitting group, frankly) we're in the minority. Sure, it's sort of hideous, but also totally awesome.
When the pattern came out, Denise and I decided we'd make our own champagne fizz hats, in a two-person knitalong. But we never got around to doing it, other projects keeping us both busy.
Well, as luck would have it, Denise is celebrating her 50th birthday this week. While some women might be happy to let this milestone pass without acknowledgment, not Denise. She has been talking about it for months, ready to greet her 50th year with a big bang.
A few months ago it hit me – I would finally knit the Champagne Fizz hat, and brazenly attach fifty pompoms to it in celebration of my dear friend. Although the other members of our knitting group don't particularly see the brilliance of this hat, they were still willing to play along. They each delivered their share of the pompoms in nondescript brown paper bags at our weekly knitting night. Right under Denise's nose, too!
My job was to knit the hat and attach the pompoms. I used the Thorpe pattern from Through the Loops and doubled Ultra Alpaca.
For now, Maggie and I will have to show you the hat. We're giving it to Denise tonight at her birthday dinner. I think she will be surprised, and I hope she'll love it. No, I take that back – I know she'll love it. Happy Birthday Denise!
Stay tuned for more of Denise's Birthday Celebration, which will include both flamingos and yarn crawls. Some girls just know how to party.

The streaking Rangers have a good chance to extend their
season long four-game winning streak tonight when they host the Florida
Florida gutted its roster once again this year at the trade
deadline after being buried in the Eastern Conference standings and although he
future looks increasingly bright for the Panthers, the present is not
great. When you look at the Panthers'
season statistics, only five of the team's 11 top scorers remain with the club. Stephen Weiss and David Booth are certainly
nice players, and have somehow survived Florida's
annual purges, but on a good team they'd be best as second line players. For the Panthers, they're asked to do far
more and although each has 21 goals, Weiss is a minus-six and Booth is
minus-21. Goalie Tomas Vokoun has once
again been the team's best player, and to the surprise of some, Florida hung onto him at
the trade deadline and is rumored to be looking to re-sign him to a long-term
deal. The Panthers also have received
encouraging performances from a few youngsters including Mike Santorelli,
Keaton Ellerby, Dmitry Kulikov, and Evgeni Dadonov who scored two goals in his
return to the Panthers' lineup on Saturday.
Right now, there's not a whole lot the Rangers need to
change. They're playing much better on
home ice and assuming they come out with their usual intensity, two points are
there for the taking. The Blueshirts are
six points ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes, and even though Carolina has a game in hand, a few more
victories are all the Rangers need. It's
certainly a good thing that the Rangers aren't facing the same level of
pressure they have in past years in the season's final weeks, although
obviously things can change. But right
now, the focus should be on deciding who belongs in the lineup for the rest of
the season, and on getting Marc Staal healthy.
Staal will once again be a scratch tonight, and Coach John
Tortorella is offering no details on his injury. It hasn't sounded like it's anything serious,
and the good news is that the Rangers can afford to give Staal a little break, but
obviously this is cause for concern.
Sean Avery will once again be a healthy scratch tonight, but
Andrew Gross raises an interesting point on his blog. At this point, the Rangers should probably be
scratching the forward that doesn't belong on the playoff roster. Erik Christensen has been extremely hot, so
at this point he can't come out of the lineup. But what about Avery, Mats Zuccarello, and Wojtek Wolski? Wolski and Zuccarello have been dynamite in
the shootout this season, and at times have had great chemistry with Derek
Stepan, but both have been quiet lately. It's a little tough to see the tiny Zuccarello thriving in the playoffs
where physical play is ramped up and Wolski hasn't done a whole lot to show
that he'll do well in that environment either. We all know that Avery doesn't mind that style of play, and he's done
well in the playoffs before, but should the Rangers risk having him take an
awful penalty at a crucial juncture? It's a tough call, but this issue needs to be sorted out.

NEWPORT–The North Country basketball boys started strong in their game against Mount Mansfield, but had a bit of trouble closing things out, and the result was a 57-40 win for the visiting Cougars on Tuesday evening.
"Defensively we played a solid game, and offensively we were more patient and took better shots," said NCU coach Ed Duncan on what he saw from his team on Tuesday.

PAWTUCKET — There's "tired" and there's the "good kind of tired." It seems the 42 Rhode Island World War II veterans who participated in a recent Honor Flight would put themselves in the latter category after their whirlwind day trip to the nation's capital.
Last Saturday, the veterans, who were each paired with a volunteer guardian, left T.F. Green Airport in the early morning on a flight bound for Baltimore, Maryland. From there, the group boarded a tour bus to view the World War II Memorial, which commemorates the brave service of all who fought. The trip also included visits to the Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and other Washington, D.C. military landmarks.
However, even more important than the planned sightseeing was the send-off. A motorcade escort brought the travelers to the airport, which teemed with well-wishers from every branch of the local military, as well as members of municipal police and fire departments. There was an honor guard, color guard and bagpipers. The mood was infectious, prompting cheers and handshakes from regular folks who just happened upon the contingent as they were passing in and out of the airport or catching their own flights.
Once the veterans arrived in Baltimore, they were greeted with another boisterous reception. Again, there was cheering, clapping and acknowledgment of those important years of service that these 41 servicemen and one servicewoman made to their country over 60 years ago.
While the Honor Flight is a national organization, retired Providence Fire Chief George Farrell helped organize a local chapter last year. Farrell said he happened to be passing through the Baltimore Airport himself a couple of years ago and saw a large number of people gathered for a send-off to a group of WWII veterans on an Honor Flight who were heading off to see the war memorials.
"I was completely taken off guard and emotionally overwhelmed seeing these elderly men—some coming off the plane in wheelchairs and with oxygen masks—and people were shaking their hands and thanking them for their service," said Farrell. "I asked what was going on and was told it was an Honor Flight. I realized this was something we should be doing in Rhode Island," he stated.
When Farrell returned to Rhode Island, he said he broached the subject of starting up an Honors Flight chapter in Rhode Island with the other local fire chiefs who belong to the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Association. The group embraced the idea and set about creating a non-profit foundation that could do fundraising for the trip.
Last November 3, the first Honor Flight took off, with 10 veterans and their guardians. Everyone involved considered that trip to be a great success, and plans were immediately made to expand it.
"The veterans travel free of charge—everything is paid for," noted Farrell. He said the guardians who volunteer generally pay their own way.
As with last year's trip, Farrell said the recent Honor Flight was also very well received by all who participated. "It was an exciting day. I think this is the most wonderful experience we could hope to provide for our veterans." He said that among the numerous instances of special treatment that the veterans received, two of the military guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier took time to meet and speak with the veterans about the history and meaning behind the memorial. "That is something that just doesn't happen," Farrell noted.
Farrell said that one of the biggest contributors to the program is the Ocean State Job Lot corporation, which picked up the tab for the all 42 veterans' flights. He said the hope is that there will be two Honor Flights from Rhode Island annually. Another Honor Flight is currently being planned for this September, he added.
Farrell said the Honor Flight concept was especially meaningful to him because his own father, a World War II veteran who had received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, would have liked to have seen the World War II monument. However, he passed away in 2003.
Farrell noted that due to the advanced age of the World War II veterans, most of whom are in their late 80s or early 90s, special care is taken to ensure that the travel is as safe and comfortable as possible. He said that anyone who volunteers as a guardian is required to attend an hour-long training session. He noted that many of the volunteers are active or retired firefighters who already have medical training, and the March contingent had included three nurses and a physician's assistant. The group also took along a supply of oxygen, a defibrillator, and 42 wheelchairs—one for each veteran, to make their transportation go smoothly.
In addition to Ocean State Job Lot, other local organizations and fire districts contributed to the Honor Flight. Among these was the Lime Rock Fire District, which provided $500 to the cause along with several firefighters to serve as guardians. Lime Rock Fire Chief Frank Sylvester, himself a military veteran, was one, and he chaperoned the oldest veteran on the trip, 93-year-old Frank Brown, of Pawtucket.
Sylvester said that during the trip, he was in awe of how much of the general public went out of their way to thank the veterans for their service. "This was the greatest generation, and so are the people who are so dedicated to honoring our veterans. It was unbelievable the amount of respect that people showed these veterans," he noted.
Brown's daughter, Karen Cornell, told the Times that her father "had an absolutely amazing time. It was the best time ever." She also had high praise for George Farrell and all of those involved with the Rhode Island Honor Flight Program. "It was so professionally handled, from beginning to end. We had complete confidence in our family member traveling on that trip."
Cornell said that Brown had visited Washington, DC "years and years ago" but had not viewed the newer World War II Memorial. "It was wonderful for him to see this and to be honored like that," she said. "Everything was done so nicely."
Gordon E. Jackson, of Lincoln, a retired deputy chief of the Lime Rock Fire Department, traveled with his grandson, Pawtucket Firefighter Joseph Nadreu. "I thought it was a great trip," he said. "Seeing the bagpipers and people from all of the different services saluting me for something I did so long ago. Although it gets a little overwhelming when you're 90 years old."
Jackson, who served in the U.S. Navy aboard a destroyer, said he spent much of World War II in the Pacific. He added that one of his brothers had been stationed in New Guinea as part of the U.S. Army's Quartermaster Corp and another brother had been in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in England "We represented three of the branches," Jackson noted.
Of the busy itinerary involved with the Honor Flight, Jackson conceded that it was a long day for those, like himself, firmly along in their golden years. "But, I didn't hear any complaints. Not one," he added. Everything was great."
Jackson said he would have liked to have had enough time to visit Washington's Naval Museum, where a plaque had recently been dedicated to his former warship, but said he was glad he able to see the World War II Memorial. "It was the last point in time that we're going to get a chance to see something like that...at least for most of us," he said.
Armand A. Poulin, who was drafted into the Army at the age of 18, said the Honor Flight was "Excellent...everything about it. And the guardians were all excellent." Of the grand send-off and welcoming crowds, he admitted, "I was emotionally affected. I had big tears in my eyes because of all the people who came out. It was one of the greatest things that happened in my life."
Lime Rock Fire Deputy Chief Todd Tucker, who was Poulin's guardian, concurred that both he and the Albion veteran were moved by the outpouring of sentiment expressed by the public. "It was very humbling," he noted.
Poulin noted that he saw plenty or wartime action right away with the 85th Infantry Division, some 20 miles north of Naples. "I never got wounded. I prayed a lot," he said. He noted that the first night he was sent out to the front lines was May 11, 1944. "I was scared stiff," he admitted. "It was just when we were getting ready for the jump off from Rome that all the utility guns opened up, firing a thousand rounds each," he recalled.
While most of the veterans and even many of the guardians found their energy tested by the hectic schedule, the 88-year-old Poulin boasted that he "wasn't at all tired." "I get around pretty well,' he said. "I brought along a cane, but mostly to show it off. It came from Switzerland and has all kinds of pictures carved into in. It was a real eye-opener."

Happy to see that everbody came out safe.
The title of the article is certainly misleading! The aftereffects of the crash were perfectly filmed and are impressive. Miracles still happen - I´m glad no one was hurt.
The thing about carb ice is when you notice it. Carb heat is way better at preventig ice that removing it.
Since I fly fuel-injected and haven't flown carbureted for some time now, help me out here. Why wouldn't applying carb heat have avoided the off-airport landing?
It's more difficult to melt it after it forms.
It may not have been working in the first place...if that was the culprit. It very well could have been water in the fuel....which I suspect was the problem........but it could have also been mechanical . The inspectors will find out. The first thing they probably did was take a fuel sample. Then go to the mags, then cylinders and so on....who knows at this point.
Only thing is, the PIC was fully responsible for the safe operation of the flight. Hopefully he did his due diligence prior to the flight.
A number of you have referenced the lack of flaps. I have no answer; but a question. Does that model have elec actuated/activated flaps? The Cessna's I've flown all did. If so, and if he had no elec, he would have had no flaps. Just another area I'm sure they will look into e.g.,gen.(or alternator),bat.,connections,service, etc. It's been a joy exchanging thoughts and reading the various comments from you-all (yes I'm in Texas)Cheers
Dear John... here in Texas, we say Yall. That is all.
From Toby. Also in Texas ;)
Gotcha Toby! You-all, Yall, Y'all...it's "all" OK w/me as long as you don't say "youins"!! Joking aside....I hope the young pilot comes out of this OK. Pilot error often seems to be at the top of the "conjecture" list; especially from other pilots!In this case,absent injurys, I suspect it will basically be an insurance thing rather than an in depth FAA deal. But who knows? I still marvel that he plunked that thing down w/out hurting anyone! Cheers
With the highway right below, I wonder why they didn't put it down on the road.
Thank God there ok.
Glad to see everyone made it out ok. but it is important to remain calm in these types of situations. Easier said than done, nevertheless he did a great job putting it down..
Would have been hard not to smack the camera guy as he said "sorry about your plane" or "this is exciting". Lol. At least everyone is alive. Personally I wouldn't take an infant in a single engine plane unless absolutely necessary. It's not wrong to bring one - but just my personal preference. Would love to know all the details - weight and balance too - since there was no appearant flare and yoke looked full aft (could have been due to damage to tail though. Carb ice? Water in fuel? Mechanical failure? We're flaps used? We're there better options than deep snow? Not playing Monday morning quarterback - just want to learn from the accident
Bingo! Carb ice, at this point, is simply a WAG on the part of a very lucky pilot (and PAX!)Your list of possible causes is very complete; but consideration should also be given to: fuel tank selection,fuel filters,mixture setting,plus carb related mechanical push/pull cables and ,of course, Ignition (mag.) cables/connections. As I'm sure you know; all that stuff needs to be examined to affix a "primary cause"! As to the pilot; whatever his mis-deeds (if any!!) he got them down in one piece. So flaps, flair, etc., be-damned!He was in sufficient control...and in that deep snow that airplane was going over no matter what! As to carb ice; once you're iced to the point of eng stoppage; carb heat wont bring it back anyway as there is no (hot) air flow through the venturi! Besides....carb ice is associated w/descent pwr settings..not cruise! If it was pilot error "not good"! BUT...I choose to believe there are sufficient anomalies to cut him some slack.....one thing for sure; he'll be smarter next time!
He was over a perfectly good highway when it started losing power, they say any landing you live through is a good one, I think he was little too relaxed. I wasn't there but it looked like at least 6000 feet when he knew he had a problem, and just says this is going to be exciting ... Come on
ABCDE: A: best Airspeed for longest glide, B: Best landing site - highways are usually not a good choice for overhead utility lines and traffic, C: Checklist - review the checklist and attempt a restart, D: Declare an emergency, E: Execute the unplanned landing. We can't second-guess the pilot because we weren't there, but would you fly with him?
Another news article reports that the pilot said: "While U.S. 89/91 would have been an ideal place to put the plane down, Goodsell said he wasn't about to do that with all of the traffic, leaving him to find a place not obstructed by telephone poles and power lines." http://news.hjnews.com/allaccess/article_36b5a2b2-6d7c-11e2-bed9-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=jqm
"...man, I'm sorry about YOUR plane (chuckle chuckle)"
Yea, the owner has only had that airplane about six months. It "was" a 1960 Cessna 175. I don't it was carb ice.....maybe "water" in the fuel......:(
Mr. phil i agree with you because thats the same thing i said about this accident, excuse me but he had a whole lots of luck to come out the way they did, no flaps, no flair and not warning to his passengers about the soon to come impact.
Warn them? They were there!!! Believe me; they new they would be landing..one way or the other! What's your point?
The point is.....the only one doing any talking was the video taker.....probably the owner of the plane. The pilot didn't a word or turn to tell everyone to make sure their "seatbelt" was firmly fastened. He was just going for the flat spot. Flaps would have helped to slow the plane for the impact. Thank goodness is was soft snow instead of terra firma. He was very lucky.....especially the passengers. I would not fly with him again. It could have been much worse.
I addressed all that Phil in my response to Jason earlier. Actually w/no snow and a "flat spot" he would have simply landed! Over??
Certainly no one would disagree your last sentence: "could've been much worse"!
Dude this is like a three week old duplicate (that's why all the downvotes)
The video isn't available because of copyright claims? Give me a break. What could be deemed a training video for some, has been removed because someone's ego has been bruised. Everyone absorbs information differently and sometimes accidents like this can have a benefit for beginning pilots who lack experience. Removing this video doesn't benefit anyone.
You're right.....Copyright claim......are you kidding me? It was the ambulance chasing "lawyers" that set that up.Bottomfeeders.......
WTFO?? I don't get it! What does this have to do w/the Cessna crash??
Mr. taylor how many time had they being in a plane crash, do you remember us airway splash? he said brace, brace, brace thats the warning the pilot should say to his passengers
A great time to pray to God, even if you hardly every bother to communicate with him.
Isn't it your god's fault this plane crashed? Your precious god tried to murder an infant and you want to give it praise? How stupid.
I'm sorry it is not a 172 it is a 175
And another repost.
I began flying in single engine Carburated aircraft, we were taught to always apply carb heat when we throttled back for landing
Same here.
In our T-crafts, and then later non-fuel-injected Cessnas, abeam the numbers on downwind, throttle back, apply carb heat, and if equipped with flaps, put in one notch and adjust pitch, decend 200 feet and turn base, then descend 200 more feet and turn final. So I'm left scratching my head how the carburetor in the plane in this story iced up. What more is there to the story?
It's always possible it wasn't working properly in the first place. That is a pre-takeoff item on the runup.
Exactly. I encountered carb ice and, following procedure, melted it and resumed flight plan. Frankly I'm surprised PIC didn't requested everyone be quiet so he could concentrate on the checklist procedures.
I'm sure glad there were no cameras running when I wrecked my lightplane in 1959! That would have been embarrassing.
1960 Cessna 175B according to the registration http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N8125T
that would be fixed gear
Did a good job of putting it down. Learned when I first started flying in Seattle about carb heat that was almost started on the first lesson as there were many at that time off airport landings due to ice. I had a friend that put his in that way.
Today's pilots are learning on fuel injected aircraft and don't get much info about carb ice. Then they go out and buy an older aircraft and get surprised by it.
Accident wiki description here, including some additional details and web links about it: http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=153006
Oh I agree. He did the best job he was able to do. His first words were asking if everyone was ok. If you got the impression I was trying to find fault with the pilot I am sorry. Just trying to make observations. I give him a lot of credit. He appeared calm the entire time and did the best he could. He had enough respect to even give a sincere apology. It's going to be interesting to find out what did happen.
Noticed there were no flaps used at all.......there was no flare....there was no depth perception apparently. Nose gear dug in upon impact. He was too fast. Plain luck and God saved those people.....it was not the skill of the pilot. Just the luck of the draw....on his end.
flight sim style landing.....
I have changed my opinion. I took a good look at the video and it looks like the airplane hit a dirt berm. I paused vid and looked at the tracks in snow. From watching them walking you can see the pilot almost fall when his foot goes into a deeper spot. Have feeling this was a plowed field and nose wheel buried itself in a high spot.
Conjecture can be fun; and even enlightening...when it leads to FACTS. But the facts at this point are pretty much nil! However some things are apparent: the landing was hard;note the fuselage droop and short roll-out prior to flipping over. BUT...apparently not hard enough to cause ANY injuries even though they ended up-side down! Looks like he "pan-caked" into the ground causing the gear to absorb most of the energy resulting in a rapid descelleration and subsequent less-than-violent flip! The pilot could have done much worse: stall/fall in a last minute searching for the BEST landing site,die by 18 wheeler on the free-way,etc. As to viz....looks CAVU to me? About carb ice; it's temp vs humidity....never just one or the other; and it can happen at any OAT when the spread is less tha 2.5 degrees. As to the flare....I think you just may be spot-on! I know this may be archaic...but my view is that w/engine failure: "any-injury-free-landing is a good landing"!I still say: cut 'im some slack! Maybe he didn't do it all of it "just-right"....but he damn-well did it! Cheers
I think he misjudged distance off the ground which would be easy with the snow. I assume he did not flare at all. I do not believe the snow had anything to do with the airplane flipping with the exception of visibility.
I am doubtful it was carb ice. It looked too cold. When it it is cold there is little humidity in the air. The moisture in the air is what causes icing. I have a feeling something else will be the cause. Pilot prob assumed ice due to how the engine was reacting.
Depending on the temp and humidity, if icing has arlready begun, it wont eliminate the ice before engine failure. Carb heat is for prevention, but reduces performance.
Question for pilots on here. Noticing the wide expanse of flat land in the video...
Would it not have been possible to use flaps to create lift while keeping the nose pitched just slightly up until the aircraft slowed to speed where a "softer" landing would have been possible?
Sounds and looks as if the pilot is not precisely a bright fellow
A stroke of "luck" got those folks on the ground. Quite frankly, he did all the wrong procedures. He was there for the ride.
Too bad.
lol the plane went sliding on its belly intil it was upside down The plane got owned!
That's not really a funny situation.
How old are you, 12?
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
I would have left the gear up in that snow...would have kept them from flipping over....
Gee you are a real airplane person with that comment. Would be hard to do in an airplane that has fixed gear. For you that means it does not retract they stay down all the time. Now try again.
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
I will look at the image again, but it looked like I saw wheel wells under it and no pants on the gear. Will look again.
People were in shock the last time I went around town with no pants on my gear...
You are my idol, you and preach
The duality of man personified - hehe
In winter wheel pants are often removed to keep them from getting snow and slush lodged in them. Otherwise the wheels might freeze up in flight and not begin turning upon landing.
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
My bad..Didn't look at it close enough or research the registration on it. in my JET, yes...I would have left the gear up, IF i was in that situation.
jets crash like....all the time do to carb icing. Be sure to get a Carbmaster9000 installed on your jet. The best Carbs out there!
What kind of jet do you fly?
the kind that produces thrust after a plate of cheese.
You guys crack me up! Forums are just " plane" fun!
Does your mother know you're on her computer?
Woulda liked to see you unweld them inflight ha
You are down wind turning base one notch of flap and carb ice turning final apply flap as necessary touch and go remove carb ice full power ice remove flaps and i can see also that this gentleman forgot about flair before hiting ground as you can see he hit the nose hard
Let just clear this, first this was a fixed gear plane, one said that the plane slided on its belly, wrong you could see clearly that it appear to hit nose first turn over and hit the tail upside down and then after the crash he had the yoke pulled back, beside engine failure for other reason to me it was carb iced up, i did some flying in teterboro and even on the summer time my cfi asked me to use carb ice on down wind, another thing is when the carb iced up and you apply heat the engine look like turning off but it will not die it is sucking sucking water from the ice and everything will be ok after that.

Passenger uses cell phone video to document family plane crash
The reason Jonathan Fielding's voice is so calm in the accompanying video is because he did not expect the plane he and his family--including an infant son--were flying in would endure a violent crash landing that would leave the aircraft upside-down. Remarkably, nobody was seriously hurt. (Pay special attention at the 1:25 mark.)

Cessna 172 Crash landing in Utah {Video}
UTAH (KTLA) –A passenger shot cell phone video while his single-engine airplane made a crash landing in Utah.
Jonathan Fielding was aboard the plane with his wife, their 7-month-old child, and his mother-in-law when the engine froze over and the pilot had to make an emergency landing.
The pilot found a field to set the aircraft down, but heavy snow on the ground caused the plane's landing gear to buckle and the plane flipped over.
No one was seriously injured in the wreck.
Fielding credited the pilot with saving everyone on board.
His wife Kara said she would fly again despite the fact that this was her first venture in a plane.
Power lines and heavy traffic made landing on nearby roads extremely dangerous, according to the pilot.

Companion forum thread to:Winter Firebuilding Techniques (Video)
Would love to see a video of firelighting in a downpour. Which is winter for here. Wet, really wet. When I really need that fire.Hatchet and batoning on BPL. How time changes everything!
Great video. Thank you.
Nice to see a video!
Thanks Ryan I really enjoyed that, nice to see more video @BPL for sure. Anyone have any tips for winter fire building directly on snow when clear ground isn't available and building a stout wood base isn't practical? A buddy and I recently discussed using aluminum foil as a platform / water barrier and I'm curious if anyone else has had any reliable success when acceptable tinder & wood is available, but the forest floor has a several foot snow base.
Lay down a thick layer of green Douglas fir branches. Knock the snow off first. Build your fire atop the green needles.Like any platform fire, it will eventually sink into the snow, so the thicker the platform, the better.
Thanks Bob! An elegantly simple method I hadn't considered, I'll look forward to trying that out soon.
I enjoyed the video and this topic. One thing I tried in a recent similar situation was to gather all the (unfortunately somewhat wet) wood we'd be burning and pile it up around the fire. It was outside the fire ring, probably 1-2' away from the fire so it wouldn't catch of course. But it did two things I believe - 1) it helped dry out the wood while the fire burned and 2) it provided a barrier for the heat to be directed back to us as we sat around on the other side of the fire. I'm sure better wood selection and the processing in the video would have helped our cause too.
Good video, the most important bit probably is to get the fire off the ground. You can also use moist or fresh wood for this platform, it doesn't matter that much in my experience.However, please skip the stone fire ring the next time! I'm sorry to say this but here in Scandinavia it's a clear sign of an unexperienced firebuilder/tourist. The rocks won't stop the fire from spreading, clearing an area around (and sometimes below) the fire will. It's just unnecessary work that also will inhibit airflow from the sides so the fire won't burn as cleanly. And don't cut off the logs so short (or at all), just lay them all in the same direction parallel to the wind. Their natural bends will keep them separated from each other for a hot and clean burn with minimal calorific expenditure.There are some exceptions however, like when the Saami people traditionally make a fire ring (that's actually a rectangle) inside their lavvus. The reason is that the ring is used as a kind of dinner table and to keep pots and pans at the ready. The rocks (some of which are actually given names) are selected with great care, only ones with flat tops are used if they can be found. The shorter sides (facing the door) also prop up one or two thick long-burning birch logs that are dragged straight in from outside. When the reindeer herd and Saami move on, the ring is left there to be used by the same family years later when they return for fresh grazing. For a temporary outdoors fire however, the ring serves no real purpose and is just an eyesore since (at least here) people leave them everywhere because they think they've made a good fireplace for someone else or just think it's too much work to put the rocks back again. I don't think this was the case now of course since I know Ryan is a strong advocate of leaving no trace.
Solid videoI would argue though, that the hatchet isn't necessary. Besides the extra weight, hatchets are pretty dangerous because a missed swing is more likely to go into your leg or even worse your inner thigh ( and you will bleed out in minutes) compared to traditional full sized axes that can do serious work ( not needed on a back packing trip) and a missed swing will go into the ground.Besides the safety issue thats easily mitigated by being aware, it is possible to simply baton the size of the wood shown in the video with a typical 3-5' knife. Another technique is to slice off a wedge with your knife and than use the wooden wedge to split the larger diameter wood with a baton. That will take a little skill but maybe worth it. For anyone wanting to know more I would wholeheartedly recommend :http://www.amazon.com/Bushcraft-Outdoor-Skills-Wilderness-Survival/dp/1551051222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361385193&sr=8-1&keywords=%22Bushcraft%22I feel very lucky to have meet Kochanski.
Here is a quote from another forum: http://bushcraftusa.com/forum/showthread.php/83737-Floating-your-fire-in-deeeeep-snow"Let's say the snow is way too deep to dig out.How do you float your fire?Especially when its a warming fire that you will need all night?Personally, I stamp down the area, then do 3 layers of alternating pine boughs and snow, much larger than the actual fire area, then a pedestal of at least 2 layers of whole green logs, also larger than the expected fire size."If you want to not leave a trace, you can often find fallen over trees from winter storms and cut the green branches off them.I think that a folding saw and a hatchet is excessive. The whole point of a hatchet or axe is that you can crosscut and split with it. If you are already carrying a saw for crosscutting, a sturdy knife is going to be great for splitting.The utility of a fire is very underestimated on this forum. I almost always cook over a fire so I don't carry any weight in fuel or a stove. I can cook things that take longer to cook and would waste a ton of fuel, things like baking or raw pasta. With a nice fire, you don't need to carry a bunch of warm camp clothing. Just a light mid layer is good, you don't need a huge puffy. With those two things considered, the weight of a folding saw and fixed blade is justified. Also, I have spent more nights that I want to admit curled up next to a fire. I spent an entire week doing that every night because my sleep system ended up not being warm enough. I have seen so many trip reports where people shivered all night or bailed because they were too cold. Stoking a fire is a bit tedious, but it feels so nice to be warmed by something other than your own body heat. It's VERY effective. Throw some big logs on the fire and you should get a few hours before having to throw on more. I'm not saying you should do this intentionally, but having the ability to do it could save you from some unexpectedly cold nights.
Some nice tips and refresher.
>With a nice fire, you don't need to carry a bunch of warm camp clothing. Just a light mid layer is good, you don't need a huge puffy.Not taking adequate clothing, especially in the winter, is irresponsible. Same goes for adequate sleeping insulation. Winter ain't no joke, and it's not a time to be dependent on a fire for warmth.
Edited by T.L. on 02/20/2013 12:33:42 MST.
If you have a good sleeping bag, I don't consider that irresponsible. I'm just talking about doing things around camp. In the winter with snow it's more serious and difficult. In dry weather a fire is super easy to throw together for a bit of warmth. If you want to carry 2lbs of extra clothing for warmth or lay in your sleeping bag for hours during a long winter evening, then go ahead.
Edited by justin_baker on 02/20/2013 13:03:28 MST.
Oh, I'm not saying fires aren't great and useful. I love a good fire. But when it's 5 degrees out and 18 inches of snow on the ground, there's no way I'm not taking a puffy (15 ounces), fire or not.What happens when you're not in camp next to a fire? Stop for a break and all of a sudden that mid layer just isn't warm enough. Or what if you want to leisurely explore your camp surroundings? Again, in many winter places, a mid layer just isn't warm enough. Or, god forbid, something happens to your sleeping bag and insulation was greatly compromised? Yeah, that's a long shot, but you'd still have your puffy to rely on. Or what if your sleeping bag was supposed to be warm enough, but the weather decided to be much colder than the forecast? You'd have a puffy to wear inside your bag. If your winters are above freezing and dry, then great! Santa Rosa looks like a nice balmy place. My point is, there are many, many places where it would be irresponsible and foolish to not bring the proper clothing. Lives depend on it.
Edited by T.L. on 02/20/2013 13:24:53 MST.
@Ryan:I would have rather done this off-list, but since it is not possible to PM you, let me suggest that you consider re-editing your video regarding the use of the hatchet for limbing. It is never wise - and contrary to BSA teachings as well (say good-bye to ye olde Totin' Chip) - to stand on the same side of the branch that you are limbing. It's too easy for the hatchet to glance off or miss completely....and your toes are right in the way. It's even more dangerous with an axe, which has a lot more force and mass behind every swing.Also another point regarding batoning, which was correctly illustrated in your film: don't baton with a folding knife. The hinge on most folders is too fragile to take the repeated shocks. You might get away with it for a short time, but eventually you'll break it, greatly reducing the functionality of your knife. Not a good thing in a survival situation. Whenever possible, baton only with a fixed blade knife; preferrably one with a full tang.
Edited by wandering_bob on 02/20/2013 14:01:41 MST.
Yeah, I totally agree. You need to have really good clothing on any trip. Your clothing can make or break a trip. What I meant was you can get away with less insulation around camp if you use a good campfire. You still need to be able to leave camp and walk around without freezing your butt off. For most 3 season conditions, I have found that a mid layer and a windshirt and a campfire works great, no need for a puffy unless you don't have a campfire.In a lot of places I have been to in California, it gets really warm during the day and cold at night. Last weekend I went on a trip where it was 75 degrees during the day and 25 at night. In that situation I carried very little camp clothing, just some long underwear and a light sweater, and was perfectly fine with a fire.
Yep, 99% of the time I can go without a puffy in 3 seasons. (abnormally cold spells the exception). I also don't make use of fires as much as I could...
Never thought I would be posting about this in BPL, but I would like to respond to the concerns about hatchets. Would a long knife be better? something like the buck hoodlum (14.6oz) or the Mora C223 (6.57oz). Although, the mora gives me some concern over the thinness of the blade. The buck weighs in pretty close to the hatchet and potentially weighs less as a system as you wouldn't need to bring the smaller knife as well.
I noted the use of the hatchet and foot-placement, too. I forgot all about that, after I chased the link for the hatchet and nearly died: $160 dollar hatchet?? I was upset about the Estwing with leather handle, but this is nuts! $160.00??!Most places we go in California, open fires and/or scavenging for wood are forbidden, so these are skills for which it's much harder find a setting in which to teach. Heck, I have this great titanium wood burner stove I can't even really use, and our hatchet and axe only go to summer camp. Estwing will do me, ha ha!

From the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool – shorty Cad, more night photography and another AMC dealership
We're constantly amazed at what shows up in the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool, and in the last few weeks, Hemmings Nation members have dropped some mightily noteworthy pics into the pool. We'll start with papfiesta's "backseat driver," a mid-1960s Cadillac with a shortened passenger area, but a lengthened hood. Can we correctly call this a shorty?
Troy Paiva continues to show off his nighttime junkyard photography in the pool, but one of his latest shots, of the Summit Garage in Altamont, California, intrigued me. As Troy noted, the garage is still there, and from the looks of it on Google Maps, still operating.
Ever seen a '78 Ford B-100? Unless you've traveled extensively in Mexico, probably not. Hugo90 continues to surprise us with foreign variations on vehicles we never knew existed.
Finally, trekie83 shot a series of photos of the old Morrice and Heyse Motors AMC dealership in Barrington, Illinois, full of classic cars, mostly Nashes and AMCs. Yes, it's on the 1983 AMC dealership list. Looks like we oughta stop by there sometime if we're ever out that way.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is taking 23 executive actions aimed at curbing gun violence that don't require congressional action, including measures to encourage schools to hire police officers, increase research on gun violence and improve efforts to prosecute gun crime.
The executive actions are part of an overarching package assembled by a task force led by Vice President Joe Biden. The measures come a month after the mass shooting in Newtown, Ct., that killed 20 elementary school children.
Obama is directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence and is seeking rules to ensure that law enforcement conducts background checks before returning seized firearms.
The $500 million package of executive actions and legislative proposals is aimed at reducing gun violence a month after a mass shooting in Connecticut killed 20 elementary school children.
The package includes a call on Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazine and it would close loopholes in the gun sale background check system.
The 23 executive actions - which require no congressional approval - including several aimed at improving access to data for background checks. A presidential memorandum will instruct the Centers for Disease Control to research causes and prevention of gun violence.
In addition, Obama will nominate Todd Jones as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Jones currently is the acting director of the agency.

In just one visit, she evaluated my situation, gave me helpful and useful information and asked me to obtain some additional information. Her demeanor was professional and caring. Her medical knowledge was extensive. One of the best doctors I have ever visited in my life. Thank you.

Dr. Kathleen Harley is a very thoughtful, intelligent and knowledgable Naturopathic Doctor. I have brought my teenage daughter with stomach issues (bloating and pain) to figure out how best to alleviate pain. During our intake process, it was clear to me that her work would also be of great value to my own health. I would recommend and encourage my family members and friends to visit Dr. Harley if they have any concerns with digestive health. Dr. Harley provides abundant time to listen, explore and suggest easy steps toward health. I personally did not know the potential link between digestive health and skin break-outs, unexplained rashes, mood swings, and stomach cramps.

Dr. Kathleen Harley is the BEST! She really takes personal attention to you and your particular needs. She cares about you, is a real humanitarian with empathy, and feels like an exceptional friend that is also a doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable in homeopathic solutions and will do research to find additional information and recommendations when she feels necessary. She has been spot on in her diagnosis with me and I was feeling better within days. I highly recommend her as a naturopathic doctor!
