This jacket is perfect! It is true to size (I am petite, 5'1'' and ordered an XS) and warm enough without being too thick. I can't wait for winter! I can wear it out hiking or just around the city, it's great for either.

Healthy Game Day with Pepperidge Farms and Stuffed Endive with Walnuts and Honey Appetizer
There really is a way to bring some wholeness and goodness to one of the most popular snacking occasions of the year – The Big Game- known in our household as Super Bowl Sunday, and that's by creating a menu with less fat and great tasting recipes and tips!
Last week I shared my veggie platter with Swiss Cheese Onion Dip recipe, served with Pepperidge Farms Baked Naturals® Cracker Chips collection, that includes Simply Multi-Grain and Simply Cheddar varieties.
I believe guests really appreciate a healthy alternative to classic game-day recipes (the typical potato skins, delivered pizza, chicken wings, indulgent dips, etc.).
So today I'm sharing another recipe which would be perfect for a Game Day menu: Stuffed Endive with Walnuts and Honey Appetizers, served with a bowl of Pepperidge Farms Baked Naturals® Cracker Chips. (Recipe below, inspired by my friend, Kristin, I used pecans instead of walnuts.) :)
Why serve Baked Naturals® Cracker Chips?
Because they are a unique snack that delivers wholesome goodness with a great tasting crunch, yet 50 percent less fat than the leading potato chip, the newest Cracker Chips flavors—Simply Potato and Cheddar & Sour Cream Potato—are an ideal alternative to potato chips (a hard-to-avoid snack… Until now!).
An alternative to potato chips? I'm so jazzed about this new, healthier product!
So what would my menu look like, if hosting a Super Bowl party?
First of all, I find that if everyone contributes, it's really helpful. Being the hostess, of course I'll fill in the gaps and make sure we have enough food, but delegation really helps take the pressure off of a reluctant entertainer. And also, we should focus a little on health and portion control (not always easy to do on rare, occasional celebrations).
Game Day Menu Ideas:
Smoked Turkey Mango Chili
Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins (She Wears Many Hats)
Spinach and Edamame Salad (Bev Cooks)
Pasta Salad Skewers (Cooking During Stolen Moments)
Healthy vegetable tray
Swiss Cheese Onion Dip
Classic Hummus
Many bags of Baked Natural Cracker Chips
Mediterranean Stuffed Mushrooms (Aggie's Kitchen)
Endive Filled with Blue Cheese, Walnuts, and Honey (recipe below)
Desserts brought by other guests, although I will be making these yummy Lemon Meringue Bites!
Whether entertaining a starting line-up of close friends, or simply keeping your own "home team" satisfied throughout the game, we want to see how you plan to entertain as football season comes to a close!
Will you be delegating part of the menu for Super Bowl? And how will you add a "healthy spin" to your menu?
Recipe: Stuffed Endive with Walnuts and Honey {ReluctantEntertainer.com}
Summary: I added chili powder for an extra "kick" to these delicious bites.
- 8-oz. package cream cheese
- 8 oz. Blue Cheese
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 2 c. walnuts, chopped (I used pecans)
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1 1/4 lb. or so (about 10 small endives or 4 large)
- Honey (for drizzling)
- Let cheeses soften to room temperature. Mix together with a fork until smooth: cream cheese and bleu cheese.
- Mix together the sugar and chili powder; set aside.
- To prepare the pecans, in a skillet, on medium heat, slowly brown the butter and sugar/chili powder mixture until sugar's melted. Add the nuts and stir constantly until golden.
- Turn the caramelized nuts out onto wax paper, spreading to avoid clumping. Let cool.
- Prepare the endive by cutting the ends off and separating the leaves. Spread each leaf with the cream cheese/ blue cheese mix, arranging on platter as you go.
- Garnish the leaves with the caramelized pecans. Drizzle each piece with honey.
- You may need to warm the honey slightly if it's too thick.
- Add fruit or crackers to the middle of the platter. Serve.
Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 12

This looks amazing Sandy!! I totally agree, people really do appreciate a healthier alternative when it comes to food at get togethers. Thanks for including my mushrooms!
Thanks for including my salad, Sandy! Every single looks so good I might freak out right now.
This looks like such a refreshing change to the usual heavy menu. I'll do all the "cooking" on Sunday as it's just the two of us snuggled up to watch the game.
BTW – thanks for the tip on the printable recipes – done and working.
Looks scrumptious; I just might make for a "wild game feast" this weekend. Although I can imagine using either would be fine, the pictures and actual recipe calls for pecans but the recipe title has walnuts in it. Could you please clarify which one is preferred? Thanks and I really enjoy your blog! You have made me a far less "reluctant entertainer". :)
Hi, Becky. I added in that I used pecans. Nuts are so intermixable, so either work. I usually use what I have in the cupboard! Thank you!
Great menu! I'm drooling for that stuffed endive…wonderful.
Hope y'all enjoy a day of family, friends and fun!
Hi Sandy,
Your appetizer looks luscious! And I love how it's quite healthy – nuts, cheese, lettuce…perfect.
And yes, I'll be delegating. I always do. It really makes all the difference. And the nice thing is that my friends and family always want to bring something to help out.
Oh my…portion control! You hit the nail on the head. And this is the time of year that all of us seem to be wanting to try and eat healthy and lose a few pounds. My husband and I …gasp…have actually been talking about joining a gym! So for our get-togethers, I'm putting out lots of fresh veggies – easy on the dip, along with a large Caesar salad to accompany our chili…but I'm going with chicken chili to lighten things up a bit.
Have a great day.
PS Love the look of the snack crackers. I'll have to check them out at the grocery store tonight.

Ms Baker, who describes herself as First Nations, had been employed in housekeeping at the respondent College for nine years when the following isolated incident occurred. In August 2010, during a lunch break, her manager made several "derogatory" and "inflammatory" and statements about First Nations[1] peoples. Ms. Baker, who had been removed from her family and placed in a residential school at a very young age, was very offended and hurt. The College responded quickly, taking the following actions:
While Ms Baker agrees that the steps taken by the college were sufficient, she remained unsatisfied. She maintains that the steps taken by the College did little to correct Ms. Nelson's attitudes, to alleviate her mental distress, to provide adequate work accommodation. Deeming the college's response to be "inadequate and ineffective", Ms Baker filed a complaint with the Tribunal, requesting the following orders:
Should the Tribunal take on this case?
The Tribunal emphasized the "importance of encouraging parties to resolve matters internally and in a manner reflective of the purposes of the Code" [4] and underscored that "absent any extenuating circumstances, when an employer or service-provider responds promptly and appropriately upon becoming aware of a potentially discriminatory situation, it would not further the purposes of the Code to proceed with a complaint against that respondent."[5] It reminded the parties that the standard to meet in human rights processes is not perfection but rather reasonableness. With these principles in mind, it used the following criteria to determine that the college's response was adequate:
The seriousness of the alleged discriminatory conduct;
While the manager's conduct was discriminatory, and therefore serious, it was limited to a set of offensive comments made on one informal occasion. The complainant did not face any negative job action (loss of wages, employment or other costs) and she did not allege that the comments reflected the attitudes of the employer or that they demonstrated a systemic barrier against First Nations persons at the College. The respondent acknowledged the discriminatory conduct, as did the manager. The College embarked upon a human rights resolution process that was "responsible, sensitive, prompt and proportionate"[7]. While the remedy was not perfect (because it involved the modification of Ms. Baker's job duties so as to separate her from the manager), Ms. Baker did give her consent. In the end, the Tribunal determined that a hearing would not have come up with any new remedies except, perhaps, for the award of monetary damages. It found that the cost of holding a hearing greatly outweighed the monetary damages that Ms. Baker might receive.
[1] "Ms. Baker says that the topic of conversation was people's nationality and what languages they spoke fluently. During this conversation, she says that Ms. Nelson asked her whether she spoke her First Nations language. Ms. Baker says that she replied she did not because she was taken from her family and placed in a residential school during her childhood. She says that Ms. Nelson then spoke in derogatory and inflammatory terms about several matters involving First Nations people, including Ms. Nelson's niece (who has some First Nations heritage), the closure of a geoduck fishery and the "dirty" condition of First Nations lands and a longhouse she had visited. Ms. Baker stated that Ms. Nelson used several expletives and generally exhibited a stereotypical attitude toward First Nations people."

Well, I'm back, just. At times I just don't feel like I've got the motivation to even prepare a meal for myself let alone blog about it but in a way, my Mum taught me everything I know and she was proud of my blog (she'd just agree with me when I spoke about it so I guess that counts - she was from a pre-internet generation). I was so impressed with the last linky party that it was too good not to share who had the most links. There sure was some good ones. I'm sorry that I haven't been reading all of your blogs this last week but I hope to catch up with my favourites over the next few days. Anyway, here's the most hit links from the last party.

|Spartans Double-Up Pioneers
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 08 April 2011 07:30
It certainly wasn't worth the wait.Thanks to Mother Nature's wrath on Monday night, the Pioneers, who got off to a slow start in an all-important game with South Caldwell, suffered through two days of waiting before they bested by the Spartans 10-5 Thursday night at Pioneer Field. The loss drops WHS (8-4 overall; 4-3 in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) into a second-place tie with Alexander Central in the NW3A/4A.
On the other hand, the win gives South Caldwell (11-1; 7-1) a two-game lead on the Pioneers and the Cougars with four games left in the regular season. The Spartans belted three home runs. Blake Johnson and Travis Cook paced the attack. Those two combined for two home runs and eight runs-batted-in. Johnson was 4-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI.
"They just came in here and took it to us," said WHS coach Pete Hardee in a dejected tone. "There's not much more to say. We've just got to work a little harder and try to play a little bit better."
Matt Proffitt and Tyler Jones both homered for the Pioneers. Proffitt had a three run shot on Monday night before the rains came. Jones belted a two-run blast in the fourth that brought the Pioneers within striking distance at 8-5. But a two-run homer by Gage Parham in the fifth put the contest out of reach.
Cook, who is 2-0 lifetime against WHS, retired eight in a row before he walked Proffitt in the fourth to end the streak. Jones followed with his home run and that also opened the exit door for Cook. But Logan Alley came on in relief and completely shut WHS down. The righthander gave up a hit, walked one and struck out four in 2 2/3 innings of work. A bloop single by Dylan Norris and a walk to Ryan Turner in the seventh inning were the only blemishe against Alley.. He closed things out by striking out Josh Roberts to end the game.
"There are no more must wins," Hardee said. "Right now, we just have to survive. We've got to play better. We certainly didn't do that tonight."
The Pioneers host Hibriten Friday night. Our coverage begins at 6 pm on Oldies 100.7 FM. Mount Tabor, weather-permitting, comes to town on Saturday.
NOTES: There was another game on the schedule Thursday night. Fred T. Foard dropped a 2-1 decision at West Lincoln in a non-conference game. The Tigers have lost three in a row.
The Watauga High soccer team blasted South Caldwell 6-0 Thursday night at Jack Groce Stadium. Skylar Hicks paced the attack. She had two goals and an assist. Lillie Brady had a goal and an assist; Brittany Brown had two assists. Kendyl Baird, Hannah Younger, Lydia Mauney each had a goal to round-out the scoring. Jeanette Vines had an assist. The Pioneers (8-2-1; 4-1-1 NW3A/4A) entertain Hibriten Friday night.

National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC)
Environmental Justice
Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism and Working for Environmental Justice is one of the seven priorities for EPA's future. EPA's Office of Environmental Justice serves as a central focus point for this issue within the Agency.
EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality is also engaged in addressing issues of environmental equality, including where minority and disadvantaged populations receive disproportionate impacts from diesel emissions. Activities of the National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) further EPA's commitment to reduce health and environmental harm from diesel emissions in all communities throughout the country.
Diesel engines emit particulate matter (soot); nitrogen oxides which contribute to the production of ground-level ozone (smog) and acid rain; hydrocarbons; air toxics; and black carbon .
Particle matter contains microscopic solids or droplets so small they can get deep into the lungs causing serious health problems such as asthma and allergies, and worsening heart and lung disease, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. Small particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter pose the greatest problems, because they can get deep into the lungs, and may even enter the bloodstream.
There are a number of ways for community members to help reduce harmful diesel emissions in their communities. More information is available elsewhere on this website, but here are a few key places to begin.
Clean Diesel Collaboratives
Reducing diesel emissions is a shared responsibility. Collaboration has been the hallmark of successful clean diesel programs, which brings together the right people from government, environmental and community organizations, fleet owners/operators, private industry, and other stakeholders.
As part of the National Clean Diesel Campaign, seven regional collaboratives across the nation work to take a local approach to reducing diesel emissions. These Clean Diesel Collaboratives are public-private partnerships of diverse, multi-stakeholder groups including EPA regional offices, equipment manufacturers, fleet owners, state and local governments, and non-profit organizations. They provide technical assistance, foster partnerships, and identify and leverage resources. They are an ideal place for community organizers to get to know what kinds of activities are going on in their region and state.
Idle Reduction Kit
The Idle Reduction Campaign Do-it-yourself Kit provides extensive information including templates that can be used to implement a school bus idle reduction program in your community. These programs can have an important impact on reducing emissions for school children, a population that is particularly vulnerable to the impact of diesel emissions.
State and Local Toolkit
The State and Local Toolkit contains information and examples designed to help state, regional, and local governments improve air quality and public health through diesel engine emission reduction efforts, particularly where states and localities are participating in the NCDC State Grant Program and/or the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. Four areas to explore include Building support; Program Design; Funding; and Evaluation.
Grant Funding
EPA has awarded millions of dollars in clean diesel grants under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Program (known as DERA). Tips for a Successful Diesel Retrofit Grant Application provide ideas for improving the competitiveness of your grant application. Availability of funding is dependent on congressional appropriation.
Past Projects
Looking over lists of past projects can be helpful in becoming familiar with the wide range of activities and technologies that can be applied to diesel engines.
Technical Information
Diesel Retrofit Technologies
Fact sheets are available for several common diesel retrofit technologies. These provide a good starting point for learning about retrofit devices often used to reduce diesel emissions.
Diesel Emissions Quantifier
The Diesel Emissions Quantifier (Quantifier) is an interactive tool that can help evaluate clean diesel projects by estimating emission reductions, cost effectiveness, and health benefits for individual or multiple fleets of diesel vehicles or vessels.
Tips for a Successful Diesel Retrofit Project
Tips for Successful Diesel Retrofit Project provide suggestions ranging from how to create a fleet inventory to understanding fuel standards and requirements.
Additional information about air quality and environmental justice can be found at EJ Air.

Algae Biomass Supply Request for Information
January 3, 2011
On December 29, 2010, the Biomass Program released a request for information (RFI) seeking input from industry, academia, and other biofuels stakeholders regarding supply systems and services for the production, handling, storage, transport, and delivery of algae biomass. The RFI and instructions for submitting a response are available on the FedConnect Web site by searching for Reference number: DE-FOA-0000466. Responses are requested by March 1, 2011.
Background: The Biomass Program�s National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap report, released publicly in June 2010, highlights some of the commercialization opportunities and challenges for algae. It is the intent of the Program to address the Roadmap�s technology barriers that can directly impact the cost and sustainability of producing algal biofuels at a commercial scale. The Program is investing in various algal biomass and biofuels production research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects. Reliable and readily available supplies of sufficient volumes and varieties of algal biomass and metabolites are currently lacking and are needed to support current and anticipated Department of Energy (DOE) RD&D program efforts.
Purpose and Need for Information: The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for DOE consideration in the development of future algal biofuel RD&D programs. Information obtained is meant to be used by DOE on a non-attribution basis. This RFI provides algae stakeholders with an opportunity to contribute their views of any requirements necessary to develop reliable and readily available supplies of algal biomass and metabolites. Multiple types of algae, including microalgae, cyanobacteria, and macroalgae, are of interest. Recommendations are sought for equipment, sustainability factors, common practices, and financing needs to establish and maintain algal biomass supplies. As the result of this RFI, DOE may determine to issue a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for this area.

This section is based on the first paragraph of section 400 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Other provisions of such section are incorporated in section 2202 of this title.
While this section does not exclude declaratory judgments with respect to State taxes, such suits will not ordinarily be entertained in the courts of the United States where State law makes provision for payment under protest and recovery back or otherwise affords adequate remedy in the State courts. See Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. v. Huffman, La. 1943, 63 S.Ct. 1070, 319 U.S. 293, 87 L.Ed. 1407. See also Spector Motor Service v. McLaughlin, Conn. 1944, 65 S.Ct. 152, 323 U.S. 101, 89 L.Ed. 101.

Fire Defender Cory Gibbs Announces Retirement, Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry Train With Atletico Madrid
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Monday that defender Cory Gibbs has retired from professional soccer. The club's 2011 Defender of the Year and a U.S. Men's National Team veteran brings to end a 12-year professional career that saw him compete at the top levels in Europe prior to re-joining MLS in 2008.
A four-year standout at Brown University, Gibbs was selected in the fourth round of the 2001 MLS SuperDraft by the Miami Fusion but elected to go abroad and signed with FC St. Pauli of the German Bundesliga. Gibbs' career included stops with the Dallas Burn, Dutch clubs Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag, English Premier League club Charlton Athletic, the Colorado Rapids and the New England Revolution before he was selected in Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft by the Fire on Dec. 15, 2010.
In 2011 Gibbs made 26 appearances for the Men in Red, scoring three goals and tallying one assist over 2,203 minutes. Gibbs demonstrated his aerial strength when he headed home a Marco Pappa free kick against Manchester United to give the Fire a 1-0 lead July 23.
Gibbs started the first three matches of the 2012 season at center back before suffering a right meniscus injury in training April 4. He underwent surgery April 10 and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Gibbs earned his first international cap for the United States on June 8, 2003 against New Zealand, and went on to play a total of 19 games for the Yanks. Gibbs was named to the roster for the 2006 FIFA World Cup but missed the tournament after suffering a knee injury in a tune-up match against Morocco May 23, 2006.
In his two seasons with the Fire, Gibbs served as a mentor for young defenders Jalil Anibaba, who led the Fire with 32 starts this season, and Austin Berry, who was recently named the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year.
Chicago Fire defenders Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry are currently training with Spanish La Liga side and 2012 Europa League Champions Atlético Madrid. Anibaba is training with El Atléti from Nov. 18 through Dec. 2, while Berry, the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year, will train with the side from Nov. 25 through Dec. 9.
In 2011, the Fire formed a strategic alliance with Atlético Madrid, Club América and Sport Club Internacional and four other clubs on a total of five continents in an effort to bring clubs together in the spirit of creating synergy as it relates to the growth of soccer, on-the-field-and-off.
Berry and Anibaba, both 24, were instrumental to the Fire defense that held opponents to just 41 goals this season, tied for second best in the Eastern Conference. In 2012, the Men in Red went 17-11-6 and earned 57 points, tied with the 2000 season for the highest point total in club history, and qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the 12th time in the club's 15-year history.
Chicago Fire midfielder Victor Pineda underwent surgery to repair his torn left meniscus following an injury suffered during the team's post-season training session. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jason Koh of the Northshore Health System.
The first Homegrown player in Fire history, Pineda will be sidelined for three-to-five months.
The 19-year-old Bolingbrook, Ill. native has yet to make his first team debut for the Fire but played the full 90 minutes in the Fire's 2-2 draw with reigning Mexican Primera champions Club Santos Laguna September 8.
A Chicago Fire Academy product, Pineda scored 12 goals in 20 matches for the Chicago Fire U-18 Academy squad during the 2011-12 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season as the Fire entered the USSDA Playoffs as the No. 1 ranked team in the country.
Currently part of the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team, Pineda will likely miss the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the 2013 FIFA World Youth Championship.
The Chicago Fire Goal of the Year tournament is down to its final four contestants. Voting for the first semifinal will take place Monday, Nov. 26 and pits Marco Pappa's goal against the Columbus Crew June 23 against Chris Rolfe's second goal against the Crew from Sept. 22.
The second semifinal will take place Tuesday, Nov. 27 between Marco Pappa's April 28 olímpico against Seattle Sounders FC and Austin Berry's game-winning header against Toronto FC Aug. 4.
Information on the Goal of the Year tournament can be found at http://www.chicago-fire.com/2012GOTY.
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club will participate in the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup, hosted by the United Soccer Leagues' Charleston Battery. The Fire will report to Toyota Park for Preseason Camp on Friday, Jan. 18, 2013.
Set to be played at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston, S.C. from February 16 through February 23, the Fire will join the Battery, and two MLS sides to be named later for three matches on Feb. 16, 20 and 23 for the 10th edition of the United States' premier preseason tournament.
In the 2012 edition, the Men in Red went 1-1-0 in the round robin competition, falling 1-0 to D.C. United before defeating the Columbus Crew 1-0. The third match against the Charleston Battery was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms.
The Fire previously played two close Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup encounters with the third division side, downing the Battery 1-0 in extra time on August 25, 2004 at Cardinal Stadium in Naperville, Ill. before drawing 0-0 and eventually falling on penalties on June 30, 2010. The Battery were crowned 2012 USL Pro champions with a 1-0 win against the Wilmington Hammerheads Sept. 8.
The Chicago Fire holiday pack gives fans the opportunity to witness the Men in Red in action in their first match of the 2013 season at a discounted price. This limited time offer includes four (4) Corner Kick tickets ($112 value) to Opening Night at Toyota Park, 4 Fire hats, and 4 Fire gloves all for just $99.

The Mt. Prospect, IL product advanced through all three phases of the club's preseason camp to sign on as a member of the Chicago Fire. Pantazopoulos made his first team debut on June 28, 2011 in a U.S. Open Cup match vs. the Rochester Rhinos and went on to appear in the club's midseason friendly against English giants Manchester United at Soldier Field on July 23.

|Building Destroyed in Early Morning Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 08 October 2013 05:35
Fire destroyed a building adjacent to a Cranberry Springs Road home early this morning in spite of the firefighting effort of a number of area volunteer departments. The call came in at about 1:45 this morning to a property near the Brownwood Road intersection with Cranberry Springs,
first arriving Deep Gap units reporting that the structure was fully involved. Deep Gap was soon joined by Fleetwood, Todd, Meat Camp, and Champion, but the building was soon on the ground in spite of the effort. Owner Johnny Parsons said he wasn't aware of the fire until someone banged on his door. It appeared that equipment from a beekeeping operation was left on in the structure, and that hot wax spilled onto a flammable surface to cause the fire. BREMCO was called to the scene to deal with power issues.

MORRISTOWN - As Morristown Central School braces for budget season, Superintendent David J. Glover said the district will likely be forced to use more and more fund balance to fill the chasm between revenue and expenses.
Mr. Glover called on the state to do more to increase basic education aid to help small schools like Morristown.
In his executive budget released earlier this month, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo proposed increasing the districts aid from $4.8 million to $4.9 million, but Mr. Glover, speaking at Wednesdays board meeting, said the governors proposal shouldnt be thought of as an increase.
The state budget is due April 1.
Due to gap elimination adjustment, a budgetary measure taken by New York state in 2010 that funnels school aid to pay down the states deficit, Mr. Glover said the district has missed out on nearly $812,000 in funding in the last three budget years alone.
Going further, Mr. Glover said the governors push for competitive aid funding puts small districts like Morristown at a competitive disadvantage as they are pressed to free up critical staff members to dedicate hours to complex grant writing.
Bigger schools that have more resources can [apply for grants], Mr. Glover said. We dig in and do the best we can.
In the current budget, Morristown has appropriated $1.4 million in fund balance and Mr. Glover said they will likely spend $300,000 of that.
With total reserves coming in at close to $3 million, Mr. Glover said the district is in glide mode and unless the state changes its aid formula they will be forced continue to spend down their fund balance until its gone.
We can either raise taxes, cut programs or we can spend fund balance, Mr. Glover said.
And even if the district was able to muster the community support to increase taxes by more than the two percent tax cap Mr. Glover said, because each percentile increase only nets an additional $34,500 for the district, it wouldnt accomplish much.
Mr. Glover said they cant cut more programing without severely impacting kids.
Further adding to the problem, Mr. Glover said, is the fact that the $114,981 increase proposed by the governor doesnt cover contractual raises or rising health insurance costs.
Mr. Glover said he expects to use more fund balance in the 2014-2015 budget and unless the state does away with gap elimination he expects the trend to continue.
The first budget workshop at the district, which is open to the community, will be held on Feb. 5 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the school.

Take your time reading this beautifully written book with an innovative approach to storytelling. Narrated by Death and set in World War II Germany, the story revolves around young Liesel Meminger and her foster family as the war creeps up around them. Simply put, this is a masterpiece.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery...
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist — books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.
"This hefty volume is an achievement — a challenging book in both length and subject, and best suited to sophisticated older readers. The narrator is Death himself, a companionable if sarcastic fellow, who travels the globe 'handing souls to the conveyor belt of eternity.' Death keeps plenty busy during the course of this WWII tale, even though Zusak (I Am the Messenger) works in miniature, focusing on the lives of ordinary Germans in a small town outside Munich. Liesel Meminger, the book thief, is nine when she pockets The Gravedigger's Handbook, found in a snowy cemetery after her little brother's funeral. Liesel's father — a 'Kommunist' — is already missing when her mother hands her into the care of the Hubermanns. Rosa Hubermann has a sharp tongue, but Hans has eyes 'made of kindness.' He helps Liesel overcome her nightmares by teaching her to read late at night. Hans is haunted himself, by the Jewish soldier who saved his life during WWI. His promise to repay that debt comes due when the man's son, Max, shows up on his doorstep. This 'small story,' as Death calls it, threads together gem-like scenes of the fates of families in this tight community, and is punctuated by Max's affecting, primitive artwork rendered on painted-over pages from Mein Kampf. Death also directly addresses readers in frequent asides; Zusak's playfulness with language leavens the horror and makes the theme even more resonant — words can save your life. As a storyteller, Death has a bad habit of forecasting ('I'm spoiling the ending,' he admits halfway through his tale). It's a measure of how successfully Zusak has humanized these characters that even though we know they are doomed, it's no less devastating when Death finally reaches them. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The writing is elegant, philosophical and moving. Even at its length, it's a work to read slowly and savor. Beautiful and important." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Zusak not only creates a mesmerizing and original story but also writes with poetic syntax, causing readers to deliberate over phrases and lines, even as the action impels them forward....An extraordinary narrative." School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"The Book Thief will be appreciated for Mr. Zusak's audacity....It will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures. And because there's no arguing with a sentiment like that." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[A] lengthy, powerful story....There's too much commentary at the outset, and too much switching from past to present time, but...the astonishing characters, drawn without sentimentality, will grab readers." Booklist
"Exquisitely written and memorably populated....A tour de force to be not just read but inhabited." The Horn Book (Starred Review)
"Zusak's writing is at times marred by some postmodern tricks...but, overall, his style is lyrical and moving....It's unlikely young readers will forget what this atrocity looked like through the eyes of Death." San Francisco Chronicle
"[S]trange, poetically descriptive, and, at times, ruthlessly bleak....[Liesel's] story is remarkable in that it's one of many equally tragic ones — and because it takes a special talent to find its moments of beauty among the rubble." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Zusak may not have lived under Nazi domination, but The Book Thief deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel's Night. It seems poised to become a classic." USA Today
"Zusak doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five: with grim, darkly consoling humor." Time Magazine
"One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years." The Wall Street Journal
A New York Times bestseller for seven years running that's soon to be a major motion picture, this Printz Honor book by the author of I Am the Messenger is an unforgettable tale about the ability of books to feed the soul.
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
The Book Thief is a Common Core Exemplar Text.
From the Hardcover edition.

HAMMOND – Its back to the drawing board for the Hammond and Morristown as both school boards will discuss their futures at a work session next week.
At the joint session, board members will discuss the possible benefits and pitfalls of several cost-saving measures: a full merger that would see the two districts becoming one, larger district; increasing the number of shared services they offer; and having one superintendents office for both districts.
The discussion of merging the two districts is not new. The schools considered merging in the past, but the idea was met with little support on both sides.
The group will use discussion topics drafted by the state School Boards Association as a guide during merger discussions. Topics for both schools include:
n Gap elimination adjustments
n Unpredictable and inequitable foundation aid allocations
n Tax levy caps
n Lack of mandate reliefs
n Increasing health care costs
n Unsustainable employee contracts
If the school boards decide to move forward with a merger, two public votes are required: an advisory referendum and a final vote.
But passing the merger is the just first step, according to the presentation from the state association.
The actual merger would require school board elections, hiring an attorney and superintendent, drafting policies, developing programs and curriculum, business functions, staff assignments, contracts, building use policies, a name, mascot, school colors and ironing out transportation.
Hammond Interim Superintendent Randy C. Richards has said that if the board considers a merger there will be costs, including hiring consultants to streamline the process.
This demands a lot of serious thought, Mr. Richards said at Hammonds October meeting.
Both districts have said merging is not a necessary this year.
The school boards will meet Nov. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hammond Central School.
Superintendents of Morristown and Hammond central schools could not be reached for comment Monday.

(NBC) -- Sam Cohen may be walking a little slower these days.
"I'm not walking as good anymore. I'm kind of shuffling," Cohen says.
But to the people who see him at least four times a week at Indianapolis' Jewish Community Center, Sam is something of a rock star.
"It's kind of like the Godfather walking in," says Kyle Mills, director of athletics at the JCC. "Everybody that comes through, whether it's staff or members, everybody knows Sam."
"Well, I go get my fan and I get on the bike and start going," Cohen says.
"People know when Sam comes in, to move on to the next bike, if you're on Sam's bike," Mills says.
It all comes down to respect for one's elders and, at 96 years old, riding a stationary bike 25 miles a day, four times a week, Cohen has certainly earned it.
"At 96, most people are kinda resting. I don't think so," Cohen says.
For Sam, it's not about needing to go anywhere, it's about his need not to go somewhere.
"To keep myself going. If not, I'm assisted living," he says.
"When we look at him, we see what we are really capable of doing," says JCC member Dee Schwartz.
Sam didn't even start riding a bike until he was 62 years old, when his kids bought him one for his birthday.
"I started riding 25, 35, 40 miles in the morning," Cohen recalls.
Since then he's logged thousands of miles.
"I'd ride to Lebanon, I'd ride to Noblesville. I'd ride all over the area," Cohen says.
Enough to have gone from California to Maine and back five times.
"I feel like I'm doing my job. Like I'm punching a clock and I want to keep at it," Cohen says.
And until just three years ago, Sam was still keeping at it - outside - until his doctor told him that had to change.
"I've been hit by cars three times. I broke my hip on a fall. I've had any number or road rashes. But if you don't get hurt, you're not riding enough," Cohen says.
Now, 100 miles a week inside is more Sam's speed.
"My balance is starting to go. Getting the old man's disease," he says.
Still, he keeps going.
"If he's doing 25 miles, if he's doing 14 miles, if he's doing one mile, either way you look at it, you know, he's doing a lot more than what a lot of people can do," Mills says.
"He's going to go until he runs out of gas," Schwartz says.
Sam says he's okay with that.
"I know I'm in my twilight, going to go. It's all I can do," he says.
Until then, Sam's going to keep on pedaling.
"One of these days, I'll drop and that'll be the end," he says.
Today, though, is certainly not that day.
Sam listens to CNN on his headphones.
He doesn't like to work out to any music.
His family offered to get him an iPod, but Sam said that's just too high-tech for him.

I was curious to hear what people think about keeping their water bottles attached to their shoulder straps instead of using the side pockets on the pack? I was thinking about carrying mine on my shoulder straps but wanted to hear other's stories on how it worked out. I thought that by moving my water out of my pack pockets I could use those pockets for other items (i.e. cookset or others bulky lightweight items).Thoughts?
Hey D, I like it pretty well for smaller bottle (20oz and below) I used a few short pieces of 3/32nd shock cord to make loops on my shoulder straps to hold the bottle in place. On small piece loops around the neck of the bottle and another a bit bigger around the body of the bottle to hold it from bouncing around. I am planning to do something similar with my Tenkara rod this year to have it ready and easily accessible while I hike. CheersPaul
I love the water bottle hosters (adjustable, elastic cords attach to the front of the shoulder straps) on my ULA CDT pack. Keeps the water bottles (0.5 liter Gatorade bottles) within easy reach and I've found them much easier to use while on the move than trying to keep the water bottles just out of reach in the elastic side pockets.
I'll second that. I switched to shoulder-bottles for the PCT, and I haven't been able to go back to anything else. Having them on the shoulders feels good as far as balancing the back a little, and it's the best alternative to hydration bladders for easy-access water. 20 oz gatorade or lifewater bottles are best for me, since they have that groove about 1/4 of the way down from the cap, so one piece of shock cord with a cord lock holds really well. 16 ounce juice bottle also work just fine. Here's one pic of them on my pack-- you really forget they're there, and they don't get in the way at all.
Me too. I have a bungee rig similar to the one described above- consists of thin bungee cord and a cordlock. Use it with a 20 oz. water bottle and a straw. This rig is so much simpler and lighter than a Camelback but gives equally easy access.
I use a metal clip that goes around the mouth of most soda / water bottles (the "disposable" type out of vending machines). That uses a microbiner to my pack strap. Just reach and pull and it "snaps" off. I haven't lost a bottle yet and it's pretty handy.Walmart carries them for a buck or two. I couldn't find the exact model, but here's the same idea: http://www.walmart.com/ip/PiggyBackRider-Water-Bottle-Holder-in-Black/16408160
I like the Simblissity bottle holder.It's featherlight and functional.May not work any better than one you made yourself, but if DIY is not an option, it can't be beat.
I found the water bottle holder on the Circuit was great for a smallish bottle (up to 600ml/20oz) but as I could still reach the side pockets without taking pack off could still reach the larger bottle I kept in one side pocket if I ran out. I used the second set of shoulder straps to keep my bucket hat and/or buff. I wouldn't recommend shoulder straps for a large water container but am a big fan for a small water bottle about 10-15oz. I kept the best quality water there and had two larger bottles for water that was more for cooking or needing a bit of filtering. Every time I came to water I checked if it was better than I had and updated accordingly.
Looks like I'm in the minority, but I've never liked having my water bottles attached to the shoulder strap. I always felt it was too bulky and finicky to attach the bottle that way when I could just slide it in a pocket. But everyone is different of course.
I tried carrying my liter water bottles on my shoulder straps, but found it hurt my shoulders having that much weight pulling down on the front of the shoulder straps.While I found the location very convenient, the bottles were all in the way when I bent over for any reason.What I finally settled on was sewing holsters that clip to my hip belt. This put the water weight on my hips and was still more convenient than trying to reach back into my pack pocket.
Like Jacko and George I prefer the side pockets for my water, if they are reachable like the ULA Circuit/CDT and others. Which I happen to now use for most trips.Other packs have side pockets that are more difficult to reach and that is when I put a 12 oz bottle on the shoulder strap. That way I don't have to wrestle with the pack as much.
The support offered by doing a more symetrical loading is good, when you put them on both shoulder straps. However, I have a couple bad disks and find that Aarn style loading does me no good what so ever. The load needs to be on my hips.My shoulder straps usually carry between 3 and 5 pounds of weight...just enough to stabilize the pack and loads. The hip belt picks up the vast majority of the weight at about 15 pounds around my waist. To put 2pounds on my shoulder straps also means I will balance two pounds from my pack. This puts the total pressure on my shoulders at 4 pounds plus it is "upper" loading. Upper loading is when most of the weight is carried high on your body...as on your chest. I far prefer to have it lower, on my hips. But the weight is "loose" without an additional loading to stapilize the pack. Try it both ways as I have done. See which way works best for you. My wife really hates it. I like it, but after a couple days my back starts complaining.
I've always liked the idea of a bottle on the strap: out of the way while bushwacking, close at hand, but even with a 16oz bottle found the bounce of bungies intolerable. Recently, at the suggestion of Josh Spice, I've been using a Voile ski strap to keep a 16oz nalgene (it's winter) on my shoulder strap (right above the sternum strap). Cinched around the upper 1/3 of the bottle, it is totally stable and totally invisible. I anticipate going over to a lighter bottle come spring, but keeping the same rig.
A picture is worth a thousand words.I went to the configuration below for a couple of reasons.I wanted to be able to easily access my water bottles, camera and cell phone while hiking. Balancing the load was not one of my design criteria but as an afterthought I see where it does accomplish this goal. Another reason that I went in this direction was due to the fact that I use a dedicated side pocket on my pack for my shelter.You'll notice that I carry a Gatorade quart sized water bottle on the other side of my pack. The two bottles on the shoulder straps are 28 ounces. I like having just a little more water than that on board in case I run into a long dry stretch of trail.I haven't had any real issues with shoulder discomfort because of the water bottles on my shoulder straps. I use a hip belt to keep the majority of the pack weight on my hips. I sympathize with James and baby my lower back as much as possible.The pack has the sleeping pad rolled and inserted into the pack as an open cylinder. All of my gear goes into a pack liner and inside of the "cylinder". When the pack is closed and compressed it transfers the weight to my hips fairly well.George's idea of carrying the water bottles in holsters on the hip belt is very interesting. Party On,Newton
Just got a bottle holder myself from gearswap. I do like have some weight in the front to counterbalance the pack. However having done a lot of photography I have to say that I carry the weight better when I put my lens on the hip belt.Depending on the pack I have trouble putting back in the larger 32oz nalgenes in the side pocket. The platypus, even moreso a problem with side pockets. I think I'm going to start looking into a solution to carry the platypus in the front.
David,Done! ;-)Seriously though I have toyed with idea of inserting a drinking straw through the top of my water bottles on the shoulder straps. I could then avoid removing them from the carriers except for when I have to fill and treat the water in them.Party On,Newton
Golites method from the past was shock cord on bottom half of bottle and velcro strap on top half of bottle.
I played around with a bunch of versions, these are the latest that work for the required parameters (1 liter nalgene, 1 liter regular plastic bottle, 24 oz bike bottle, 18 oz bottle), had to go to dual straps to avoid excessive sway, and for times when a small bottle is used in a full liter sized water bottle holder, I added a small internal frame to the holder, weight of these is 10 grams for the size that fits 18-24 oz best, and about 12 grams for the size that fits 1 liter nalgene, 1 liter disposable, and down to 18 oz. Material is 2.2 oz 70 denier coated nylon. I don't think I'd use silnylon on these because of the constant sway pressure on the bottle holder when walking.These are dual use, either pants belt or hipbelt. Main concern is that zpacks cord is a bit too narrow and might eat the hipbelt edges over time. I also made these in a cool 4oz blue mesh I found at the fleamarket, but the orange is lighter and stiffer overall.I call these h4o because it's the forth major version, and the first one that actually worked well for all bottle sizes.the quest for the perfect water bottle holder continues, but these are pretty solid, a few dimensions are off but otherwise work fine. Materials 2.2 oz coated nylon, 1.5mm zpacks cord, tiny zpack cord locks, and 1/2 inch grosgrain. Plus a small rectangle from a flat sided plastic bottle, like milk or juice.Uncoated 1.9 oz nylon would take them under 10grams each. Silnylon would take them further down, closer to 7 grams, but I suspect durability would be an issue at that point. Personally, I want less, not more weight, on my shoulder straps. I did make shoulder strap pouches though, those turned out nice, for little stuff.
Edited by hhope on 02/11/2012 18:06:09 MST.
I like the lightness of the multiple-bungee bottle containment method, but I, too, find the bounce uncomfortable at times. I have since purchased a pair of Joe's (ZPacks) cuben backpack shoulder pouches and find them to be worth both the weight and cost increase. They work best with the 20oz gatorade-style bottles. Those new-ish, 24oz water bottles fit, but the pocket is not deep enough to not feel top heavy with a full bottle. The pouches also work really well with smaller bottles like the 16oz juice bottle--they have a little drawcord/cordlock around the top--allowing one a bit more room in the outer mesh pocket for additional items. Since the weight hangs from above the pouch, and the pouch has a pair of elastic bands sewn to the back to keep it snug to the backpack strap, it is never allowed to gain momentum, even when loaded down with a full 20 ounces. Super functional.
