Reality TV has nothing on public meetings
Over the years I have been to hundreds of public meetings at the local, state and federal level. Often people who attend these meetings only see the boring side of things; they often ask me why I like to attend and what I see in these meetings.
The business of governing is extremely interesting to me. While I would not especially like to be a person sitting behind the podium or the platform having to make decisions, the idea that we can, as Americans, have public input into what our government officials are doing is really quite unique in the world. There really aren't that many countries where you can say what you think (civilly and without malice) and still walk away.
But there is also another side to public meetings. While they may not entertain in the fashion of a video game or good movie, they are the truth of public drama; of how we operate in this country. And when looked upon as such, they are more compelling than any television show, because these are true reality shows, one that affects us all.
Not all meetings are positive. Some bring out extremes, others are downright boring. But like mining gold, sometimes you have to sift through a lot of overburden to get to the nuggets. Maybe that is why people don't like attending. They have to work to get to the nut of the matter, whereas on television it is given to you, almost force fed. Those nuggets I was talking about come in the form of interesting stories, weaving tales and sometimes downright funny incidents and comments.
That was brought to mind last week when I covered the Price City Council meeting on Wednesday night. There were a lot of serious subjects covered. Many had to do with public money and how it was being expended. There was talk of water and sewers, fences and buildings, bids and business licenses, etc. All interesting subjects to those involved, but for others pretty boring stuff. It's hard to get excited about a huge sewer project that is costing loads of dough until one day you flush your toilet and you learn that the old sewer line is plugged because it is falling apart. Then it becomes important to you.
Humor is often the way we all get through the meetings, because even some of the most mundane subjects have a funny side to them.
Let's take the Kokopelli sculpture that stood in the middle of the intersection of 100 West and Main for a number of years. Tales of looking up his skirt and people not understanding how to drive around him abound, some of them quite funny. But in the end, the complaints became too great and now he is in a paint room at the city domes looking for a new home so he once again can see the sunlight.
"It's a sad thing," said Price councilman Richard Tatton at the meeting during a discussion. "He is in solitary confinement, all alone and I think we need to get him out."
Tatton went on describing the dire circumstances under which Kokopelli has to exist. It almost made you feel sorry for the figure, which of course has no feelings what-so-ever.
No decisions were made, but almost everyone promised Tatton that soon they would find a place to put the iconic sculture and save him from a fate worse than say a maintenance truck.
Another piece of humor came when Bill and Larue Bate walked up along with Police Chief Aleck Shilaos to the podium to address the council
A few weeks ago the couple were injured when the side-by-side UTV he was driving tumbled end over end down into Mathis Canyon in the Bookcliffs.
"I want to thank all the emergency personnel who helped us and tell them how professional they were," he said as he stood there still wearing a cast on his left arm from the accident. "That is why I want to give the vehicle to the public safety department to use for the police department or whatever they need it for."
"I don't believe I will be riding in it again," he added as he smiled and everyone laughed with him.
The chief stated that the department would be happy to take the 800 cc Polaris Ranger and use it in various capacities. Shilaos later told me the machine needed some repairs from the accident and that it was in the shop being evaluated for an estimate of how much those costs would be.
The Bates should be commended for their public contribution to the city. They could just have well had the machine fixed and sold it, making back at least part of their investment, but instead they wanted to repay the service that was rendered to them in a tangible way.
It was a heartwarming tribute to our emergency personnel. It was real and genuine.
There is also the other side of public meetings; the pathos that comes out of some peoples experiences. None of that happened last week, but I have been in meetings where people tell compelling stories about situations that are dire. Sometimes what they are facing in either trying to mediate a wrong or move ahead with something they want to do is emotional for everyone listening. Some find themselves trapped by bearaucracy or circumstances beyond their control. Most satisfying is when the public board they are appealing to is able to do something about their situation or rectify a wrong. However, often it is not within the board's power to do so and other avenues must be sought to remedy the problem. Even a hardened newsman walks away from hearing some of those stories with a lump in their throat.
It is a unique experience being a reporter for a newspaper; the stories you hear, the things you see, the people you meet, the mistakes you sometimes make, all make you a better person and helps you to realize that real life is every bit as entertaining as any other medium, in fact more so.
Other than a possible exotic locale, reality TV has nothing on public debate and discussion.

Midwest Living Review
Guests looking for a quiet, secluded immersion into the Missouri Ozarks will enjoy the 500 acres of Stonewater Cove Resort, which in themselves are remote enough. But surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest Service land, getting away from it all is truly possible here. The accommodations are both rustic and elegant with plenty of activities for families without feeling bombarded by stimulation. A zero-depth entry pool and hot tub highlight the patio area that overlooks Table Rock Lake. In the evening, enjoy s'mores around the fire ring or a glass of wine in the gliding rocker tucked away in a gazebo. More than 20 miles of ATV trails, zip lines, clay pigeon shooting, jet skiis, kayaks and canoes, and leisurely fishing boats are a part of the activities. A game room for families is accented by a three story stone fireplace and is adjacent to a movie theatre for kids. Conference facilities are possible, but really, who wants to work when Table Rock Lake beckons.

Sharing Memories (Week 49): Toddler Playtime!
If you are just joining us, please take a peek at our earlier prompts (There are over 150!) that will help you write your stories. Just click on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of Olive Tree Genealogy blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics and prompts that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your stories and memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
The prompt for this week is playtime. That's right - playtime. When you were a toddler how and where did you play? Did your mom put you in a playpen? Outside in a fenced-in yard? Did she take you to the local park and sit and watch you play? What do you remember of your toddler days?
My friends are horrified when I tell them what my mom did. But I honestly don't think it was a bad method for her to be sure I was safe! When I was little (before the age of 5 or 6) she tied a rope around my waist and attached the other end to a cinder block, then put me out in our front yard.
Our front yard was mostly dirt and weeds but I didn't mind. I had one toy - an old tin truck that belonged to my brothers - and I loved making roads and "mountains" for that truck to drive on.
Since my mother wasn't about to come out and watch me play, or take me to the nearby park, the cinder block and rope method worked to keep me safe. I couldn't get out on the road and I couldn't wander off. Problem solved! I'm pretty sure nowadays if we saw a young child tied to a cinder block in a weed-filled yard we'd call Children's Aid. But honestly I don't think it was a terrible thing for her to do!
I know she put a playpen in the yard and put me in it when I was much younger but I don't have a memory of that. I've seen pictures and that's how I know that was her way of keeping me safe at a really young age. No one seems to use playpens anymore but I personally think they're pretty handy at times!
I confess that when my youngest son was 2 years old, we stayed at a cottage on an island on Georgian Bay. To keep him safe outside I tied a rope to a harness which he wore. The loose end was fastened to a large rock which he was not strong enough to move.
I sat with him of course, he was never left outside alone, but the rope and harness gave him freedom that wasn't possible otherwise. I would have been too worried that he'd slip and fall into the Bay otherwise, and wearing a life jacket would have been very uncomfortable for him.
So I'm not traumatized by my rope wearing toddler days. What are your memories of toddler playtime?

I had to laugh because I was tethered too. My mother tied me with a rope to the playpen while she and my father worked on building the house.

I was also protected by a harness and long rope. My rope was tied around the clothesline, so I could run back and forth the length of the clothesline, plus my rope. The danger of my getting out of the yard was the railroad track that was about 5' from the gate. This same yard was mostly dirt with some grass patches, but the thing I remember best was all the lilac bushes. Today, that is still my favorite flower.

Now I've heard everything! Tied to a cinderblock. I've known people who harness their kids, and the good thing is it keeps the child alive. We gave our daughter a back-yard round expandable wooden fence, 6 feet across, when she was three. We put a toy farmhouse with animals in there. I took the labor-intensive method of watching her constantly. When she had an "escape," she always ran for the busy road in front of her house, but I was always faster than she was. Distraction with more toys! Finally, she got over her need to run. She got older, that's all.
- Yvonne Demoskoff said...
I don't think my Mom ever tethered me when I was playing outside as a toddler, because we had a small, fenced yard. I'd play by myself or with my baby sister. Our Mom could see us from the living room window (we lived in a basement apt) and since my grandparents lived above us, so they'd keep an eye on us, as well.

One thing police officers can count on is people breaking the law. So in anticipation of seasonal bad drivers traveling across France police decided to ignore this tradition. In a tactical change the police officers are turning to a reward system—that's right a reward system. Drivers following the rules will be stopped and rewarded. The prize for good driving is a gas voucher.
To explain this good driving campaign, Checkroun (2008) notes that individuals control their behavior when they are likely to lose or gain. However, people who speed usually weigh the consequences of either getting a speeding ticket or arriving somewhere on time and are likely to speed anyway. Additionally, factors such as "what in-group members identify with" are likely to shape, at times negatively, people's perceptions of the campaign (Smith & Winnifred, 2009). So if the drivers view the campaign negatively the act of rewarding good drivers may actually increase speeding drivers. On the other hand, if most drivers view the campaign positively and the incentive is appealing then the campaign will likely succeed.

Water is a main event for many people, whether it be in a backyard pool, a mountain stream or a reservoir.
Children are particularly drawn to water. And that propensity gets worse when it runs deep and fast.
Here are some tips for maintaining a safe environment near water for children.
Maintain constant supervision. Watch children around any water environment (pool, stream, lake, tub, toilet, bucket of water), no matter what skills a child has acquired and no matter how shallow the water.
Don't rely on substitutes. The use of flotation devices and inflatable toys cannot replace parental supervision. Such devices could suddenly shift position, lose air, or slip out from underneath, leaving the child in a dangerous situation.
Enroll children in a water safety course or Learn to Swim program. The decision to provide a child with an early aquatic experience is a gift that will have infinite rewards. These courses encourage safe practices.
Parents should take a CPR course. Knowing these skills can be important around the water and you will expand your capabilities in providing care for your child. You can contact your local Red Cross to enroll in a CPR for Infants and Child course.
Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim--this includes adults and children. The American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. To enroll in a course to learn or improve your ability to swim, contact the local Red Cross chapter.
Never leave a child unobserved around water. An adults eyes must be on the child at all times.
Install a phone by a pool/hot tub or keep a cordless phone nearby so that someone can call 9-1-1 in an emergency.
Post CPR instructions and 9-1-1 or the local emergency number in the pool area.
Enclose the pool completely with a self-locking, self-closing fence with vertical bars. Openings in the fence should be no more than four inches wide. A house should not be included as a part of the barrier.
Never leave furniture near a fence that would enable a child to climb over the fence.
Always keep basic lifesaving equipment by the pool and know how to use it. Pole, rope, and personal flotation devices (PFDs) are recommended.
Keep toys away from the pool when it is not in use. Toys can attract young children into the pool.
Pool covers should always be completely removed prior to pool use.
If a child is missing, check the pool first. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area

PAWTUCKET — The Lincoln/Cumberland Co-op girls' hockey squad had just suffered a tough 5-2 decision to the combined Barrington/Mount Hope/Portsmouth club on Thursday night, March 7, at Brown University.
That, coupled with the Lions' 6-5 double-overtime defeat in the first game of this-best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament championship series, meant the second-year program hadn't captured its dream of capturing the state crown.
In the Meehan Auditorium foyer after the final tilt, senior goalkeeper Ashley Devolve approached head coach Dick Ernst looking rather glum, but that's when he leveled the news: That his netminder would be the recipient of the Rhode Island Reds Heritage Society's prestigious Gil Mayer Award during the Mount St. Charles-La Salle boys' finals clash at Brown on Saturday evening.
Devolve at first seemed puzzled. "Me? Why?" she asked, and Ernst explained to her who Mayer had been – for years a superb goalie representing the Reds. He noted she was the lone female keeper in the Ocean State to win it, that she had been chosen by a special selection committee made up the society, R.I. Hockey Coaches Association and Interscholastic League officials.
"I was shocked, and really excited," Devolve grinned while seated at Lynch Arena on Tuesday afternoon. "My mom (Diane) actually had told me on the Tuesday night before that I was going to find something out Thursday, but that she couldn't tell me. I kept asked her what it was, but she said, 'Ashley, no, you'll find out when it's time,' I was dying to know!
"I mean, we had just lost the second game of the finals, and I was bummed, but I wasn't too upset," she added. "I was kind of disappointed we didn't win the championship, but when Coach Dick told me about it, honestly, I was speechless. I don't remember much about it; I had a lot on my mind, but I was thinking, 'Wow! Yea!'"
Six individuals, three girls and three boys, were honored at Meehan Auditorium last Saturday evening, including Devolve and Mount St. Charles senior captain Brian Belisle.
According to committee members, these "Unsung Hero" awards were issued for a player's contributions to high school hockey; demonstrated acts of sportsmanship, leadership and community involvement; academic performance; talent and ability; and challenges coping with personal obstacles and hardship.
According to that committee, "Her teammates have referred to Ashley as 'Miss Blank' because of her diving, acrobatic saves. Besides her academic prowess, she has been involved in numerous extracurricular activities, including field hockey, lacrosse, Girl Scouts (and) school bands. As an accomplished member of the Jazz Band, she has traveled the country extensively for both performances and competitions."
Mayer's son, Andre, gave her a heavy plaque, and the two immediately posed for photos.
"I can't believe how official it looks," Devolve smiled again while holding the coveted momento of her phenomenal campaign. I've gotten other little trophies, stuff like that, but this is my first real award, and I love it."
It's so easy to understand why the society and other powers-that-be chose Devolve for the accolade; after all, she had never before played ice hockey before her junior winter season. Sure, she had protected her cage as a three-year member of the Lions' varsity field hockey squad, but on the ice? Never.
"It all started last year, with Jean Bray; she was trying to form a girls' varsity hockey team," Devolve mentioned. "I've always been friends with Jean, and I knew she was trying to start one at our school. She told me she didn't have a goalie, and I immediately was interested.
"I had liked hockey because I saw the movie 'Miracle' (about the astonishing gold-medal run the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team made at Lake Placid), and I thought it was really cool," she added. "Ever since I watched it, I thought about playing … Still, I was pretty nervous because I had never really skated before. I've gone with friends to the outdoor rink in Providence, but that was it.
"Jean asked me to go to the meetings she had set up, so I did. I remember the first one, that was in, like, mid-November (2011), and only three of us went – Jean, me and Alison Jeffrey. My mom told me afterward that she wasn't too keen on my starting a new sport; she wanted me to focus on my schoolwork. I told her that I knew where she was coming from, but I was still upset about it."
A few days went by, and Ernst phoned Diane to convince her he needed Devolve to play.
"I was at a friend's house, and Coach talked to my mom for about 45 minutes," she giggled. "She called me at my friend's house that same morning and said, 'You're playing ice hockey.' I was thrilled!
"I wasn't really nervous about the goalie part of it, but the skating? I was, like, 'How am I going to do this?' I didn't even know how to put all the gear on. Jean had to help me."
She attended her first practice at the Rhode Island Sports Center (on Route 146) on a Tuesday, and was told she would start in net on Friday night.
"Right when I got on the ice, I fell, and most of the girls were laughing; they thought it was funny," she continued. "I did, too. I didn't know what I was getting into. Most of the girls had been playing hockey since they were little, and here I was 16 and playing for the first time.
"The skating was the toughest part, working on angles with skates on instead of spikes and keeping my balance. And, definitely, I had to get used to the glove. I had never really used one before. I played Little League baseball when I was younger (she played shortstop), but we don't use one in field hockey. We have a blocker to knock the ball away.
"My father would pull out his baseball glove and me my goalie glove, and we'd go outside and play catch with a tennis ball. That definitely helped me get my hand-eye coordination down. Learning how to get into the 'butterfly' position was pretty easy. As time went on, I ended up getting so used to going down to the ice to block shots, my field hockey coaches told me to get back on my feet and into field hockey mode."
With a laugh, she noted, "They did that in a joking way, but they made their point."
That squad finished 2-14 in its initial season, and Ernst continued to inform his crew that, if they worked really hard and followed his lead (not to mention his crazy sense of humor), they could go out and win the D-II state championship in its second year.
Thanks to Ernst, Bray's leadership and talent, a first line also consisting of sophomore Cassidy DiPaola and freshman Cassidy Simanski and two outstanding defensemen in junior Lauren Hervieux and sophomore Marissa Mancini, the Lions cruised past Cranston East in a semifinal sweep before battling the co-op squad based in Barrington.
In the end, Lincoln/Cumberland had finished with a 9-12 mark.
"Saturday night at Brown, I was really excited," Devolve stated of the awards ceremony. "Everything went as I expected, but I didn't know how many people would be there, so I was kind of nervous," she stated. "I actually had to leave our school's Variety Show right after the first act; I had to be there for that because I had a saxophone solo, but then I got out of there to get to the arena.
"As for our record, I'm just really proud of everyone," she added. "Even the girls who had been playing forever, they improved, especially the ones who had only played a year or two. Just like me, my friend Tayla Omar started last season, and she's already an alternate for the first line.
"I couldn't have done it without my defensemen; they played every minute of every game, and they were amazing! If I gave up a goal, they'd come up to me and say, 'Ash, don't worry about it. You'll get 'em the next time!' They'd also apologize, and I'd just say, 'No, no! I'm the last line of defense. I should've had it.'"
Devolve, who has snared three letters in field hockey and will bring home her second in her "colder" sport at a team awards banquet this Thursday night at Village Haven restaurant, juggled her time in athletics with playing in the LHS Concert, Marching and Jazz bands, helping out in the famed Variety Show and being a camp counselor for the Lincoln Parks & Recreation Department.
As for scholastics, she completed her fall semester with a stellar 3.9 GPA; on the ice, she earned third-team All-Division honors.
"I think her receiving the Gil Mayer Award is wonderful," Ernst offered. "It's amazing that she never really skated before November (2011). She's a fantastic young woman, and a goalie who carried us through the playoffs (with a .908 save percentage). She was sensational in all of our games, and it's because of her complete dedication to the program.
"All the girls gave their hearts and souls to each other, and to me and my assistants (Tom Pereira and Bob O'Donnell)," he continued. "They developed it all into us being the state finalist."
Last winter, Ernst's bunch captured just two post-season laurels – Bray first-team All Division and DiPaola third-team. Following this campaign, they raked in several: Bray snagged a Hobey Baker Award, and was also first-team All Division; Simanski brought home a first-team All-Division honor and was second in the league scoring with 32 points (20 goals, 12 assists); Mancini took second-team All Division and DiPaola third-team; and Hervieux, the alternate captain in 2012-13, will be the chief of her squad next year.
Devolve hasn't decided where she will attend school next year, but has been accepted by the University of Maine at Orono, Rhode Island College and URI.
"I don't really know what I want to major in; I'm going in undecided," she said. "I might minor or double-major in the field of music, but I'm not sure. I will say I'm thinking about being a dietician or nutritionist."
As for Brian Belisle, he received the Chuck Scherza Award as the Reds Heritage Society's "R.I. Unsung Hero" for forwards.
After the second period of the contest in which he had been competing, he was presented the award by Scherza's son, Rick.
The announcer read the following to the audience at Brown: "The name Belisle has been synonymous with high school hockey for more than six decades … Brian has distinguished himself as a role model and leader even during a period when he could not play after sustaining a concussion in the first game of the season. After being cleared to practice and play, Brian (registered) seven goals and six assists in Mount's final seven games. Brian was also the state's leading scorer and a first-team All-State selection as a junior."

Contribution Funds Programs To Put Youth On Paths To Environmental Careers
LISLE, IL – With a $100,000 grant to The Morton Arboretum, the Exelon Foundation has become the first philanthropic organization to support a trio of youth mentoring and science learning programs. The programs comprise The Arboretum's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Pathways Program, which provides Chicago-area teens opportunities for rich natural science career exploration, skills development, and workplace learning.
"The Morton Arboretum's programs combine science education and environmental stewardship — two key areas that the Exelon Foundation is dedicated to supporting," said Steve Solomon, president of the Exelon Foundation. "The Foundation is pleased to help advance the Arboretum's efforts to provide young people hands-on experience in the natural sciences and produce the next generation of scientists."
Susan Wagner, Arboretum vice president of education and information, said, "We'll offer students deep exploration that they could not experience in a traditional classroom. Students aged 12-18 will work alongside scientists and master educators to participate in outdoor learning experiences and make a difference through their actions."
The three programs are designed as successive stepping-stones to careers in forestry, natural science interpretation, or botany:• Macgyvers (Morton Arboretum Children's Garden Youth Volunteers), for grades 7-9, connects volunteers with younger children to teach them about gardening and the natural world in an engaging way. Macgyvers strengthen their own knowledge and connection to the natural world, develop skills in public speaking and early childhood development, and enhance their leadership qualities. In its first five years, 169 children volunteered as Macgyvers, and 21 percent repeated participation for three years or more.
• Summer Science Camp Counselor in Training Program, for grades 8-10, mentors students to help them build their understanding of natural science and their skills in interpreting it for young audiences. After a weeklong training camp, students volunteer as assistant summer science camp counselors. This program aims to accept 12 students in its inaugural session this summer.
• Woodland Conservation School Program, for grades 9-12, educates students about natural areas management. Students work alongside trained woodland stewards to restore Arboretum natural areas. Forty-six teachers and 103 students participated in the program in 2010, and students reported that they gained a new perspective on the woodlands and felt their efforts had made a difference.
The programs' benefits may extend into the community and beyond, Wagner says. "Research shows that positive early experiences in nature foster a lifelong appreciation and respect for living things. By providing a deeper understanding of trees and nature, children grow up to be adults who are more inclined to make decisions that protect the environment."
The Arboretum Education Program, founded in 1922 during the Arboretum's inception, is one of the oldest and largest such programs of any botanical institution in the United States.
The Morton Arboretum is a world-renowned leader in tree science and education, working to save and plant trees. The 1,700-acre outdoor museum features magnificent collections of 4,117 kinds of trees, shrubs, and other plants from around the world. The Arboretum's beautiful natural landscapes, gardens, research and education programs, and year-round family activities support its mission – the planting and conservation of trees and other plants for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world. Conveniently located at I-88 and Rte. 53 in Lisle, Illinois, the Arboretum is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, from 7 a.m. Central Time until sunset. The Children's Garden is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., March through October, and 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., November through February. Visit Press Room at www.mortonarb.org, call to learn more.
Exelon FoundationThe Exelon Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization funded solely by Exelon Corporation, an energy company, through shareholder dollars. The Foundation supports nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations primarily within the Exelon operating companies' service areas. The mission of the Foundation is to encourage respect for the environment and strengthen the social and economic fabric of the community by primarily providing program grants in three areas – environment and conservation awareness, innovative math and science education, and diversity and tolerance.

POTSDAM The leaders of SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam met to outline the future of shared services between the two colleges by signing a memorandum of understanding Monday morning.
Today is a celebration, as we recognize the success so far of our nationally recognized shared services, SUNY Potsdam interim President Dennis L. Hefner said.
The colleges already have some shared positions, including payroll, university police and a vice president for business affairs and administration. Both schools are looking into further shared services, and the memorandum outlines plans for further potential agreements through 2015.
The agreement was created to provide a uniform approach to shared services. Previous arrangements all were drafted differently.
There were no overarching agreements between the two colleges, SUNY Canton President Joseph C. Hoffman said.
Now the memorandum provides a template for the schools moving forward, as well as direction for the future.
The agreement states that there will be no formal layoffs as a result of shared services, although some jobs may be shifted around as the campuses change how they do things.
Most of the duties now shared between the colleges are behind-the-scenes administrative tasks, but a more expansive array of tasks is in view in the coming years.
The colleges are looking into combining their purchases, buying goods or services for both campuses to take advantage of bulk purchase rates.
In addition, they will begin to work towards shared academic programs, offering minors or degrees that neither could provide on its own. Faculty has begun discussing a possible shared forensic science minor, although nothing is set in stone.
The colleges plan to combine their purchasing and budget offices, along with creating a new minor, by 2014.
Local and state officials were present to watch the signing.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, praised the agreement as a step forward.
Now we have an opportunity to look at more exciting academic programs, she said.
Although the morning event at SUNY Potsdams Raymond Hall was focused on ways the colleges could reduce waste by working together, the agreement also made it clear each campus would retain its own identity and leadership. There were once fears that SUNY would choose to appoint a single president to lead both colleges, although it has since been confirmed that each would remain distinct.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said she supported the schools commitment to retaining their independence.
You believed, as I did, that each of these campuses deserved their own leadership, she said.
State Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan and Canton Town Supervisor David T. Button also spoke.
College officials said shared services will provide benefits to both schools, especially in tough economic times.
Shared services are nothing new for the region, said June F. ONeill, SUNY Potsdam College Council chairwoman. This agreement merely formalizes them and gives direction for the coming years.
Weve done it for years with no headlines, no television, and no radio, she said.
SUNY Canton College Council Chairman Ronald M. ONeill, husband of June, also spoke in favor of the agreement.
This is a good day. Our college council has always supported shared services where it makes sense, he said.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of many an animal welfare organization, and Kansas City Pet Project's volunteers proved their mettle during the organization's efforts in the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.
KCPP, a nonprofit, open admission shelter in Kansas City, Missouri, won the Challenge's "Community Engagement Award"—a $25,000 grant, plus an additional $5,000—for a total of $30,000, for doing the best job of getting its community involved in saving more animals: 1,989 cats and dogs were saved during the three-month contest, an increase of 491 animals over the same period in 2013.
The prize was presented October 7 in person—to KCPP shelter executives, staff and more than 50 volunteers—by ASPCA representatives.
"We could never have done this without our volunteers," said Kelly Walsh, KCPP's volunteer coordinator, beaming with pride and recalling how volunteers promoted KPCC's initiatives non-stop during June, July and August.
KCPP took in more than 1,000 pets per month during June and July, coinciding with the shelter's busiest intake months of the year. "We then broke adoption records in July and again in August," said Tori Fugate, KCPP's manager of marketing and development.
"We hardly have any advertising budget, so we rely heavily on social media," she continued, explaining that KCPP's public Facebook page increased its members by 86 percent (17,000) during the contest. KPCC also has private Facebook pages for each of its adoption locations so volunteers may spread the word about foster opportunities, the need for drivers, or shelter wish lists. "We post adoption and intake numbers daily," Tori added. "We keep our volunteers informed and updated all the time."
Tori also credits large organizations like the Kansas City Royals—current World Series contenders—who supported KCPP during the Challenge. "They were huge; one of their staff even adopted a dog from us," she said. Other major organizational support came from Sprint, the Kansas City Visitors Association, and Boulevard Brewing Company, among others. KCPP also ran cross promotions with other shelters, elementary schools and local businesses.
All the while, volunteers continued their groundswell of buzz and heavy lifting. The result: Newsletter subscribers increased 67 percent (4,000), and volunteers multiplied. By the end of the Challenge, 296 new volunteers had signed on.
Chad Ackerman, director of institutional research at Park University, serves as volunteer community outreach coordinator for KCPP. "We worked hard expanding our presence, especially north of the river," explained Chad, who organizes adoption efforts at KCPP's 4,400-sq.-ft. storefront center in Zona Rosa, north of town, where 533 animals were adopted during the Challenge.
Volunteers also helped drum up the 13,695 votes that helped clinch the shelter's award. A gigantic sheet cake, complete with those seven digits squiggled in orange frosting, was presented to KCPP by the ASPCA before being cut and distributed by Teresa Johnson, KCPP's CEO/executive director, who explained how the much-needed funding would be put to use.
"Our medical fund always needs money," she said. "Saving lives is expensive. We treat parvo, heartworm, animals with broken legs and other injuries; everything that's treatable."
"This is a big city and we're a new organization—we've had to change our image," added KCPP board president Brent Toellner, who founded KCPP with his wife, Michelle Davis, in January 2012. "We showed our community that we care about animals, and it's been great to have volunteers and others involved and be part of our progress."
Beth Rice, who has volunteered at KCPP for just over a year, told how the sheer number of kittens coming in during the summer months convinced her to foster. She recalled how KCPP took in one to two litters of kittens per day—1,200 under the age of three months—during the Challenge.
"We were bottle feeding all summer long," said Beth, as she monitored her Facebook feed closely before KCPP's award was announced. A message appeared—from another volunteer: "Still waiting to hear the news! Did we win???" it read. "Yes!!!" Beth excitedly typed back.
"I'm just a volunteer, but I say that with pride," she said.
As the fifth and final ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge draws to a close, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate the accomplishments of Challenge contestants across the country. Over the course of five spirited competitions, Challengers worked tirelessly to break their own adoption records and win prizes in the form of ASPCA grant funding, resulting in more than 282,000 animals saved.
In 2014 alone, 50 Challenge contestants saved more than 68,000 animals' lives in just three months—a combined increase of nearly 17,000 more lives saved than the same period in 2013. We are truly impressed by the dedication, hard work and creativity these shelters employed in order to find loving homes for thousands of animals in need.
Congratulations to our 2014 Challenge winners, and to all those who competed over the past five years. You deserve a round of applause!
Please visit the Challenge site to view the 2014 winners and overall results.
Guest blog by Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President & CEO
Renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead once famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Mead was talking about improving the world for humans, but it's just as relevant and accurate when we talk about improving the world for animals.
Across the country, animal welfare advocates and shelters are uniting to defy the idea that we can't do more to significantly reduce the need for euthanasia. The truth is we can do better, inspire more, and increase the number of lives we save year in and year out. We must, given the millions of lives still at stake, and so many people who care.
Nowhere is that truth more obvious than in the results of our ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, which ends a remarkable five-year run this year. Since 2010, hundreds of Challenge contestants have dedicated themselves during June, July, and August to increase their adoption numbers over the previous year. They saved thousands of lives through hard work, creativity, collaboration, and a complete dedication to not only achieving success, but to redefining what's possible.
This summer alone, 50 competing shelters saved 16,789 more lives than they did last summer, which is more than twice the increases we saw when we started in 2010. The overall results are even more staggering. From 2010 to 2014, Challengers saved more than 282,000 lives, an increase of nearly 60,000 cats and dogs, with dozens of animal shelters increasing their adoptions by 100 percent or more compared to previous years.
Saving lives is the most critical part of this program, but the positive effects of community dedication go beyond that. In these engaged cities and towns, local adopters are honored, and animal adoption is celebrated. Effective adoption tactics are shared widely, so that shelters from coast to coast—be they well-resourced or struggling to handle intake—can benefit. In the end, success is not restricted to a single moment for one community or shelter. Instead, seeds are planted well into the future for longstanding commitment across the country.
This is our hope, and this is our expectation. Because if we've learned anything from the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge—and the nearly 300,000 families who opened their hearts and homes to cats and dogs— it's that thoughtful, committed shelters and engaged communities can indeed transform the world.
As the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge wraps up, we'd like to congratulate the three finalists in the running to win the Community Engagement Award: Clay County Animal Care and Control, Kansas City Pet Project and Lynchburg Humane Society.
The Community Engagement Award will be given to the organization that that did the best job of involving its community in saving more lives during the Challenge. The Award recipient will receive $25,000 in grant funds from the ASPCA. The three finalists were determined by a two-week online voting contest.
Fifty $100K Challenge contestant shelters across the country worked to beat their own adoption records during the months of June, July and August and win prizes in the form of grant funding from the ASPCA. The long-awaited Challenge results will be announced soon—all winners and finalists will be revealed on October 6, so be sure to stay tuned!
Time flies when you're having fun: Competing shelters in the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge are nearing the finish line, and we couldn't be more excited to share that in June and July, the Challengers saved a total of 43,959 animals' lives! The Challenge shelters achieved this by adopting out or reuniting pets with their guardians—and they saved over 9,000 more lives than during the same two months last year.
We'd like to congratulate the shelters in each division that saved the most additional cats and dogs by the end of the first two months of the Challenge:
Coastal Humane Society (Brunswick, ME) in Division 1
Clay County Animal Care and Control (Green Cove Springs, FL) in Division 2

New Chicago Fire signing Kennedy Igboananike has scored some nice goals in his time with AIK, including a pretty incredible bicycle kick on April 28, 2013 vs. Halmstad BK.
Check out some of his body of work below:
Though the end result was another draw, there were a few great GIFable moments in Saturday's 3-3 stalemate with D.C. United at Toyota Park.
For starters, Quincy Amarikwa perhaps showed the best finish of any of the 10 goals he's scored across all competitions this year to give the Fire a 1-0 lead...
His celebration after the fact was simple, yet effective...
Then Quincy went and earned this penalty kick, his league-leading fifth of the season...
Jeff Larentowicz redeemed himself for his penalty miss from the week before, bagging his fifth goal of the season...
And then D.C. United did what they did, leading to Matt Watson's first career MLS and Chicago Fire goal...
And the celebration...
NUMBERS GAME: Was Saturday the first time two Fire players scored against their former team? Sort of...
Every season I like to take in a few away matches as a fan and with a Toronto away date finally coming on a weekend again, I did so on Saturday.
The ups and downs of that match are easily memorable and even though the team didn't walk away with three points, the fighting spirit displayed to earn a point at a bolstered TFC side gave positive feelings as we walked away from BMO Field.
During that maze of an exit through the carnival going on at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Section 8 Chicago chairman Pattrick Stanton pointed out to me that both Robert Earnshaw and Quincy Amarikwa scored against their former side Toronto FC and said, "That has to be the first time two players have ever done that for the Fire."
While I fancy myself a "stat man", i honestly couldn't rifle through the previous 520 matches in my head to confirm. With the help of a small bit of free time, I can confirm that Pattrick is right.... sort of, with an asterisk*
Technically on August 25, 2001 Ante Razov -AND- DaMarcus Beasley scored in a 3-1 victory over the LA Galaxy at The Rose Bowl. The reason this stat was asterisk worthy was because while Beasley, who scored a second half brace in that match was originally allocated to the LA Galaxy in 1999, he never played for the side that year.
- PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Instead the Fort Wayne, Ind. native played a couple games with the Project-40 team (a precursor to Generation adidas) and the bulk of his time that year with the U.S. U-17 National Team that finished fourth at the World Championships in New Zealand. At that tournament, DMB was awarded the Silver Ball, as second best player of the competition behind teammate Landon Donovan.
In other words, while Beasley was part of the Galaxy, a lot of his time was spent away from LA before being traded to the Fire for the club's natural first round SuperDraft selections in 2000 and 2001... HISTORY SIDE BAR: The Galaxy selected Danny Califf (2000) and Isaias Bardales, Jr. (2001) with those picks.
So with that in mind I'll make up a new stat...
Saturday's goals from Earnshaw and Amarikwa were the first from Fire players in the same game who actually played for the former team they scored against. A mouth full for sure, but certainly noteworthy.
In my research, I also found three instances where a player scored a brace against his former side. All of these are listed below.
|Goal Scorer(s)
|May 22, 1999
|3-1 W vs. Kansas City
|Diego Gutierrez 27' 75'
|August 25, 2001
|4-1 W at LA Galaxy
|Ante Razov 5', DaMarcus Beasley 64, 93'+
|June 12, 2004
|2-3 L at LA Galaxy
|Ante Razov 28', 67'
|October 12, 2008
|2-2 D vs. Columbus Crew
|Brian McBride 13', 79'
|August 23, 2014
|2-2 D at Toronto FC
|Robert Earnshaw 70', Quincy Amarikwa 90'
Looking back on losses is hardly fun to do, though it's an important exercise -- a reminder of what was and what might have been.
The Fire and Sounders have battled plenty in league play over the years but its Open Cup gameday and the two teams met in the 2011 Final.
A Fire side in the midst of a second half of the season playoff push (not unlike this year), heroically navigated their way to the 2011 final in Seattle. Having to balance important games on either side of the Open Cup clash, the team went to CenturyLink Field as underdogs (just like tonight), going up against the Sounders without the ailing Sebastian Grazzini.
The gameplan was sound enough. Marco Pappa, now a Sounder, had a decent chance for the Fire during the first half while the Men in Red survived two Seattle attempts off the bar. Finally the dam broke as Fredy Montero pounced on a rebound before Osvaldo Alonso iced the game late.
Re-watch the match:
I know you're asking why I made you sit through that. That's because even in defeat, Fire supporters rallied around the team following the match, with nearly every Fire fan in Seattle consoling AND congratulating the team at the hotel bar following the match. It made it all more digestable and remains one of my favorite Fire memories of all-time.
Since you did go through that, here's another video you'll enjoy more:
Prior to Saturday's friendly vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Fire players Patrick Ianni and Matt Fondy joined Spurs counterparts Zeki Fryers and Tom Carroll to pay visits to patients at the University of Illinois Children's Hospital.
A look at some of their stops:
It had been a long-time coming and put off a bit by Gonzalo Segares' ankle injury earlier this season but the Costa Rican's appearance in the Fire's 1-1 draw at Sporting KC had a ring of history to it.
With the 90 minute shift, Segares played his 216th regular season game for the club, moving him past goalkeeper Zach Thornton for third all-time on the club's MLS regular season appearance list, joining current Fire assistant coach CJ Brown (1st, 296) and teammate Logan Pause (2nd, 279).
Fire kitman Charles Raycroft worked a little magic and made the trio these jerseys to commemorate the occasion...
Congrats to Gonzalo on joining the club and thanks to all three of you for your 791 regular season matches and 35 years of combined service to the Fire!

If the experience around last week's 2-1 weather-shortened victory over Pittsburgh felt familiar, that's only because it was.
The game was just over a year on from a Fire Open Cup match vs. the Columbus Crew that never got off the ground on the original June 12 date as sever thunderstorms crashed in on Chicagoland throughout that night.
Instead the game was rescheduled for a noon kickoff the following day, with the Fire giving FREE entry to all fans that could make it Toyota Park for the match.
Take a trip down memory lane with highlights from that game:
Good news! Wednesday's kickoff forecast is perfect soccer weather: partly cloudy, with a temperature of 65 degrees and only 10% precipitation.
Get your tickets to the match here and book your place on $10 Pub to Pitch buses from Cleo's, The Globe and Fado at www.pubtopitch.com.
Mexico has every right to celebrate after today's 3-1 victory over Croatia pushed them into the Knockout Round in Brazil.
No doubt frustrated after another dubious call, Mexico eventually unleashed three goals in 10 minutes from Rafa Marquez (72'), Andres Guardado (75') and Javier Hernandez (82').
Even if you're a U.S. supporter, you have to appreciate that Mexico is through to the next round if only because of the possibility of more celebrations like this from manager Miguel Herrera. Go on, Mexico!
Rafa Marquez goal
Holland wasn't supposed to be "up" for this World Cup and early on in their tournament opener vs. Spain, that seemed like it might be true.
Then Robin van Persie score this goal to level things just before halftime...
Braces from RVP (44', 72') and Arjen Robben (53', 80') as well as another goal from Stefan de Vrij have the world in shock as Holland has found payback from their World Cup finals defeat four years ago, defeating Spain 5-1 today in Salvador.
Let's just say I'm feeling pretty good about my Fire staff World Cup pool team right about now...
