MassTransfer Program
If you are transferring from one Massachusetts public higher education institution to another, the new MassTransfer program makes the process easier.
MassTransfer has two main purposes:
- To provide community college students who complete associate degrees and enroll in linked MassTransfer Programs with full transfer of credit, guaranteed admission, and a tuition discount (each based on final GPA); and

The MassTransfer Block refers to a set of core (general education ) requirements, consisting of 34 college-level credits. These credits, when completed together with a 2.0 or higher GPA, fully transfer to any Massachusetts public higher education institution, even if you don't have your associate's degree. These credits also satisfy the core (general education) requirements at any other Massachusetts public higher education institution, with the receiving institution being able to add no more than six additional credits/two courses.
For participants in the MassTransfer program, the Bridgewater State University application fee is waived. For additional information on this program, please visit the MassTransfer section on Transfer Central at http://www.bridgew.edu/admissions-aid/transfer-central/massachusetts-tra....

School supplies drive in St. Lucie County
Photos from the United Way of St. Lucie County's annual school supplies drive Friday outside of the Walmart Supercenter on St. Lucie West Boulevard in Port St. Lucie. olunteers set up outside of each Walmart in the county to collect donations of cash or new school supplies to help students in need. "We're able to give them a backpack full of supplies that should last them an entire school year," said Echo Howard, an Area Manager at the Walmart Distribution Center and coordinator of the St. Lucie West drive. "That way their education doesn't suffer." The drive continues outside of Walmart stores from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday.

Pre-Season Trout Stocking
Type: Freshwater
As most fishermen know, it has been very cold this past month and weve all been living with snow and freezing temperatures. Marylands rivers, lakes and ponds have been covered with ice throughout the state and especially in the western portions. Traditionally, trout fishermen get to rub off some of the cabin fever that is normally associated with the month of February with the pre-season trout stocking that usually commences during the first week of February. The trout stocking program have facilities at the Manning and Unicorn Lake Hatcheries where they hold trout in special rearing ponds for trout stocking in the eastern, southern and central regions of the state. These ponds have been covered with ice making it impossible for crews to gather up the trout for stocking. The Albert Powell and Bear Creek Hatcheries have also been encumbered with ice and heavy snow and ice at stocking sites also negate stocking crews from accessing streamside with the hatchery trucks. The weatherman promises that warmer weather is due in the near future and stocking crews are eager to begin placing trout in your favorite pre-season stocking areas. To see stocking locations and updates check the trout stocking website.

Swarming of May Worms
Type: Chesapeake
Location: Chesapeake Bay
We are approaching the end of May and a full moon is due this Memorial Day weekend; these two events mark the annual swarming of May Worms on the Chesapeake Bay. The marine worms that we often see when shucking a bushel of oysters are a common inhabitant of oyster reefs and shell litter on the bottom of the bay. This time of the year they under go a metamorphic change to a breeding form that can be seen in great masses at times under dock lights at night or just swimming around close to the surface in small groups. During this annual swarming event fish such as Striped Bass and White Perch gorge on the great feast that is before them much to the consternation of fishermen. Often Striped Bass can be seen so full of the little morsels that they seem ready to burst if they eat just one more, so therefore they tend to not be too interested in a fishermens offerings. The good part of all this is that fish fatten up on this banquet and build up fat reserves lost during a long winter. (Photos by Rich Watts)

See Us at These Fishing Shows in 2013
Type: All
Region: All
Location: Various
The fisheries service will be attending the following outdoor shows in 2013 and we look forward to meeting you. We will have a presence at the East Coast Commercial Fisherman's & Aquaculture Trade Exposition at the Ocean City Convention Hall on January 18, 19 and 20th. Although this is billed as a commercial fisherman's show it is a great place to stock up on hard to find items such as fish totes, rope, heavy duty gloves and even things like collapsible crab traps, fillet knives and oyster knives.
Our next show that we will attend is the Pasadena Sportfishing Flea Market/Show at the Earleigh Heights Fire Hall in Severna Park on February 16th and 17th. We will be there to talk about fishing, any questions you might have and you'll be able to purchase your 2013 fishing license there as well. Anyone who has ever attended this show knows there are bargains galore and the firemen cook up some delicious pit beef, turkey, ham and oysters.
Finally on March 10th our trout biologists will be present at the National Capital Angling Show at the Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda for a one day show. This show is all about fly fishing, trout and other species of fish. There are vendors representing fly tying, tackle both new and collectable vintage items, guide services and conservation groups. There are always fly casting clinics and this year Lefty Kreh will highlight the team of presenters and instructors. Matt Sell of the Maryland Fisheries Service's Brook Trout Program will be there to provide a presentation on brook trout studies in western Maryland.

Intestinal Parasites
Region: Southern
Location: Lower Patuxent River
Recently I received an inquiry about lumps or cysts in the intestines of a large white perch caught in the lower Patuxent River from a fisherman. I showed the picture to our fish health expert here at the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory Mark Matsche. Mark offered an explanation and our conversation drifted to other parasites seen in the gut cavities of striped bass and white perch from time to time in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The parasites that live in the intestines of fish and often form bumps or masses on the surface of the intestine are spiny headed worms. We see the species Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli in striped bass and other fish regularly. The worms that live freely in the abdominal cavities of fish are nematodes or roundworms. One species we have identified is Philometra rubra (in picture). There are likely other species, especially in other fish species.
The picture labeled spiny heads 1 shows numerous, large masses that form along the intestine in heavy infections. The photo labeled spiny heads 2 shows a section of that intestine opened up so that the body of the worm (yellow) can be seen inside intestine. The picture labeled nematodes shows a large group of roundworms in a striped bass. Although these fish parasites can be disturbing to the uniformed angler they do not present any danger to fishermen. All fish are hosts to a number of parasites from time to time; some are internal and others can be seen on the external surfaces of fish.

Salisbury Youth Fishing Derby
Type: Freshwater
Region: Eastern
Location: Salisbury City Park Lake
Parents, grandparents and anyone else who would take a child fishing showed up at the Salisbury City Park Lake this past Saturday for a good old fishing derby. The lake had been stocked recently with plenty of bluegills by the fisheries service and our young anglers came prepared with their theme related fishing outfits with logos on them such as Barbie and Spiderman along with plenty of worms and bobbers. They lined the sides of the lake and when the starting horn sounded 192 young anglers began casting bobbers and worms for all they were worth. The local resident Canada geese beat a hasty retreat and the lake belonged to the kids for the next two hours. The park officials staffed the registration tables and kids were constantly running to the tables to enter their fish. Bluegills were by far the most common catch but a big carp was landed and even a couple of hapless painted turtles but by far the most unusual catch was a 14 inch snakehead caught Mason Shahan. USGS officials will be doing DNA analysis on the snakehead to try and determine where it could have possible come from.
As the one minute warning was announced and officials began the final countdown to the last 10-seconds of the tournament; Jonah Corry came running with his last minute bluegill entry and made it to the table with only a few seconds to spare. I saw a lot of happy adults and children and an event like this does warm the heart of anyone who loves kids or fishing. One grandfather approached me and relayed the story that he brought his daughter to this fishing derby 38-years ago and he was here this year with his great granddaughter. He also mentioned that last year his granddaughter won the fishing challenge drawing and by her request he came all the way from Arkansas to go on a sea bass fishing trip with her off of Ocean City; when she was drawn for a free fishing trip at the awards ceremony at Sandy Point State Park. There was a lot of anticipation as the drawing was held for the 2012 Fishing Challenge Youth Winner and Emily Ross was all smiles and her dad was very excited about the prospect of winning a free fishing trip provided by one of the Fishing Challenge sponsors.

Channel Cats on the Choptank River
Type: Tidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Choptank River
Sunday evening after a long day of yard work, the waters of the Choptank enticed me to take some time for myself and have a seat on the river bank, watch the sunset and try fishing for some catfish. I had placed a few garden worms in a can from earlier digging in the yard and they were soon attracting the attention of some small white perch which I planned to use for bait. There was a good strong incoming tide and it did not take long before I started catching some nice 4lb to 8lb channel catfish, a few white catfish and even an American eel on pieces of white perch. I kept four channel cats; which were more than enough to provide a weeks worth of fried catfish meals. Fisheries biologists working on the Choptank River have noted that channel catfish populations are up so these plentiful and good eating fish provide a fun opportunity for fishermen between perch spawning runs and the opening of striped bass season. Channel catfish can be identified by their brown color on top, forked tail and a smaller mouth than the white catfish which is light gray in color, has a large broad head and mouth and a less forked tail than the channel catfish.

Perch Fishing
Type: Tidal
Location: Eastern Shore Creeks
I had the opportunity to be driving near the upper Tuckahoe River late Thursday afternoon and stopped to see fishermen catching a nice mix of post-spawn yellow perch and pre-spawn white perch. This same scenario is being played out on just about every tidal river and creek around the Chesapeake Bay today and into the weekend. Yellow perch have finished spawning in the upper reaches of the tidal rivers and creeks and can be caught as they descend back down. Thursday, minnows on a bottom rig seemed to be the ticket for yellow perch and I saw several 12 to 14 caught in a short time. Fishermen are also catching white perch and some of the larger females are showing up. The white perch are up the Choptank as far as Red Bridges and Millington on the Chester River so the fishing may bust loose this weekend. Earthworms and bloodworms have been two of the most effective baits for white perch in the last couple of days. Rig up, grab some bait and kids and get out and enjoy this rite of spring before it is over.

Inquiry on Parasitic Worm in Yellow Perch
Type: Tidal
Location: Tidal and Nontidal Waters
Mike Hohm recently sent in the picture below of some strange red worms he found in a yellow perch he was cleaning. The red worms in the picture are called Philometra worms that are a common parasitic nematode worm in fish. A small larval stage of the worm is released into the water by infected fish and this small larval stage is eaten by tiny copepods (a small invertebrate) which act as an intermediate host. The copepods are then eaten by fish and the larval stage of the worm is released into the digestive system of the fish. Once in the fish the larvae migrate to target organs and molt into adults where they can become encysted in the viscera (guts) or muscle of the fish. They may grow as long as 2 in length and often move out of the cysts when the fish is dead and can be found free in the body cavity or flesh when the fish is being cleaned by a fisherman. The life cycle of these worms is not well documented but they are a common parasite in freshwater and estuarine fish such as striped bass, perch and other species such as minnows. They can not infect humans and as with all parasites cooking kills them.

Bay Anchovies
Type: Tidal
Region: Chesapeake Bay
The bay anchovy is a tiny baitfish in the Chesapeake that has a big responsibility when it comes to providing forage for several species of game fish that we hold dear in Maryland. When it comes to food for striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay most people focus on menhaden but the bay anchovy is the most abundant fish in the Chesapeake Bay and it also is spread through the coastal bays up and down the east coast. Often they are referred to as glass minnows and can often be seen in the bay and tidal rivers in large schools near the surface. They have a prominent stripe on their side, a large mouth, no scales on their belly and are somewhat translucent. They use their gill rakers to strain the water for zooplankton, small invertebrates such as copepods. They tend to spawn at night around mid-summer, grow rapidly reaching maturity in a few months and only live about 2-years if not eaten first by a hungry striped bass, Spanish mackerel or bluefish. They do not migrate south in the winter but choose to hold deep in the Chesapeake Bay and can tolerate salinities from 35p.p.t. (sea water) to 1p.p.t. (brackish). Good populations of bay anchovies are important in the bay because they are such a valuable bait fish for juvenile striped bass and with a bumper crop of 6 to 12 striped bass this year they will be critical to the health of 2011 year class. The graph below shows a steady decline in the number of bay anchovies encountered in the striped bass juvenile index seining studies over the years; lets all keep our fingers crossed there will be enough food on the table for our striped bass this summer.

Visit to IGFA Headquarters and Museum
Type: All
Location: IGFA Headquarters
Recently the opportunity presented itself to pay a visit to the IGFA headquarters in Dania Beach, Florida which is just south of Ft. Lauderdale. Anyone who has ever aspired to catch a world record fish surely knows about this organization that was founded in 1939 and whose mission is the conservation of fish resources and to promote responsible and ethical angling practices. The building is pretty impressive and contains a museum of fishing tackle, hall of fame as well interactive educational exhibits focused on young anglers. The exhibits covering some of my angling heroes such as Zane Grey and Lee Wulff were a step back in time as I hung onto every word written about their adventures when I was a young angler. The library within the building is the largest fishing library in the world and I felt like I could have spent the entire day there. The exhibits of fishing tackle and their evolution brought back a lot of memories of hand me down fishing reels in my younger years and the exhibits of tarpon flies struck some special memories of jumping tarpon in the Florida Keys in the 1970s. If you find yourself anywhere near Ft. Lauderdale you will not be disappointed with a visit to this marvelous tribute to sport fishing.

Former Monessen business school reborn as mecca for budding filmmakers, special effects make-up artists
MONESSEN Sporting a robin-egg blue ponytail, Michelle Novak considers her style to be on the conservative side at Douglas Education Center in Monessen.
Unlike most of her classmates, Novak said, her body is not covered in tattoos at the two-year school known for its special effects makeup program crafted for the horror film industry.
In fact, local residents tend to scare her when they walk up out of nowhere, invade her space and say, Thank you for coming here, said Novak, 19, of Youngstown, Ohio.
That happens often, she said, in this former steel town whose downtown largely has been saved and reinvented over the past decade by the school founded in 1904 in this Westmoreland County city to train secretaries and others seeking business careers.
Now when we go in full makeup into Foodland, theyre used to us. No one bats an eye, Novak added.
Monessen native Jeffrey D. Imbrescia purchased the school in 1989 when it was confined to one building and the downtown was beginning its downward spiral following the closure of a sprawling Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel mill. The school then employed five people and had an enrollment of just 45 students.
Everyone else thought this town was dying and never coming back, Imbrescia said. I knew that I had a business that was floundering.
He credits the schools success to his having faith, self-confidence and the luck of a chance meeting in 1999 with Tom Savini, an actor, director and special effects make-up artist with a huge following for his ability to simulate gruesome carnage on screen.
Savini, of Bloomfield, had always wanted to start a school to teach his craft and his dream was given an opportunity in a partnership with Imbrescia.
I was fortunate to hit a grand slam when I was introduced to Tom Savini, he said. It grew beyond our wildest imagination.
Savini, famous among horror buffs because of his work in George Romeros 1978 zombie flick Dawn of the Dead, has brought global attention to Douglas Education Center, said Patricia DeConcillis, its vice president of academic affairs.
With income from 189 students, the school has gobbled up seven other buildings to accommodate classes across downtown Monessen, along with others to house students.
Weve had students from every state, DeConcillis said. We really found a niche.
At first, she and others didnt know what to expect when students with creative minds found themselves living in a struggling city 30 miles south of Pittsburgh and a half-hours drive to the nearest movie theater.
I thought they would be disgusted, bored, DeConcillis said.
Exactly the opposite happened.They found people like themselves who like to do the same things, she said. Now they have a school with teachers who like exactly what they like. The city has been really accepting.
The Mon Valleys decline in neighboring towns of Charleroi and Donora provides a perfect backdrop for film students to set up scenes with zombies walking in the streets, DeConcillis said.
If you like this stuff, youre in a little mecca, she said.
Graduates have gone on to find successful careers in Hollywood and New York, working in such films as The Curious Case of Benjamin Butler and on television shows including Cake Boss and Syfy cable networks Face Off, DeConcillis said.
The isolation from the big city forces Douglas students to focus their attention of their schoolwork, said Brody Klotzman, 25, of Cleveland, Ohio, who wants to work in slow-motion animation after graduating.
It forces us to become a community, Klotzman said.
I think its slowly bringing the town back to life, added Lacey Postle, 20, a student from Apollo.

Should I be concerned about antibiotics in the meat I serve my child?
Well, most experts say it's unlikely that you or your child will be harmed in the immediate future by the practice of giving antibiotics to livestock. But it is something that you should be concerned about because of its potential threat to public health.
Many farmers who raise cows, chickens, and other livestock use antibiotics to treat animals that are sick or at a high risk of becoming sick. In addition to using antibiotics for treatment, though, some critics believe that the industry relies too heavily on antibiotics to fatten livestock and to compensate for unsanitary and crowded conditions in industrial-size farms — despite guidelines for antibiotic use, which specify that they be used judiciously.
How can people be affected by the antibiotics that farmers use for animals?
The main concern isn't that the antibiotics will be transferred to you or your child, but that they will increase the antibiotic resistance of bacteria that we all contend with. Experts warn that there are already many strains of bacteria that no longer respond to antibiotics.
Just as a child's taking antibiotics unnecessarily contributes to increased resistance in some strains of bacteria, overusing antibiotics in agriculture is contributing to the emergence of bacteria that are resistant to common antibiotics. The more an antibiotic is used, the more the bacteria will become resistant to it.
Also, if too little antibiotic is used (as is often the case when antibiotics are used on healthy animals), it won't kill all the bacteria — and the survivors can grow and multiply into resistant strains.
Some of these bacteria can spread to humans when proper handling and cooking procedures aren't followed. Bacteria can be consumed in meat that hasn't been heated to the proper temperature before serving, for example. And campylobacter (a bacteria found in the intestines of chickens) can be spread by handling raw chicken and not washing up afterward.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of the antibiotic fluoroquinone in chickens, fluoroquinone-resistant bacteria began showing up in humans.
Antibiotics have even been found in vegetables grown in soil that was treated with animal manure. In a study funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, scientists at the University of Minnesota found that corn, lettuce, and potatoes grown in soil that had been spread with animal manure containing the veterinary antibiotic sulfamethazine also contained the antibiotic. Sulfamethazine is commonly used to treat bacterial diseases and promote growth in poultry, pigs, sheep, and cattle.
In addition to the dangers of ingesting the antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it's also possible for drug-resistant bacteria to transfer their genetic material to other bacteria. This means that if you consume a harmless "bug" carrying a resistance-causing gene, that gene could be passed to a more harmful form of bacteria that's already in your body, making it antibiotic resistant.
There's no way for researchers to figure out how often this happens to people. But David Wallinga, a senior scientist at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a nonprofit food, agriculture, and trade group based in Minneapolis, reports that the CDC has "compelling evidence that people are contracting infections from resistant bugs at increasing rates that we can trace back to antibiotic use in animals."
The American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the American Public Health Association, and the American College of Preventive Medicine have all taken a stance against giving antibiotics to animals that aren't sick.

Once you get off the primary route of US-191/6, the Byway narrows and travels along Willow Creek. You will see wide open vistas and pass through the beginnings of the Roan and Book Cliff formations. Peaking at 9100-feet Indian Pass, the Byway passes through the Ashley National Forest and a unique display of rock formations. The vegetation here includes pinyon, juniper, aspen and Douglas fir. Elk and deer sightings are common. The contrasts of autumn foliage are particularly beautiful. From the summit, the road follows Indian Canyon through desert terrain bordering Indian Creek. At the Byway's end lies the town of Duchesne, settled in 1904.
Home to thousands of plant species, enjoy the many varieties of trees and flowers. Bird watchers appreciate the solitude of watching meadow larks, eagles, hawks and a multitude of birds that live or migrate through Castle Country. Hunting season brings game hunters from all over the world to try their skill against the elk, deer, bear and mountain lions that call the loop home.
Leisurely follow crystal clear streams that follow or intersect the loop. Or, challenge yourself to a high-mountain trail filled with sheer ascents and canyons that drop thousands of feet demanding skill and strict attention.
Picnic in well maintained campgrounds or in a secluded grove of aspens and pines. Camp where amenities abound or so far away that no amenities can be found.

I don't think I would be spending my money on anything Girdler wrote. - C. Haynes
The Harley-Davidson and Indian Wars was a very interesting book, though not about "wars" between them, more like parallels between the two marques. The book was written in 1997, but IMO, has amazingly contemporary context. In so fact so, that it seems to have been written more like in the 21st century instead of the latter part of the 20th.
I'm sure you have some reasons for not liking the book, so please qualify your statement tell us what you didn't like. Maybe I missed something
As far as space-age materials.....you must mean fiberglass. Plastics!...think....plastics!

William Kristol (shown) accused Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) of "running to the left of the Obama administration" during an appearance this weekend on Fox News Sunday.
Kristol's latest lashing out is likely in response to Senator Paul's victory in the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) 2013 straw poll. By a narrow margin, Paul bested fellow Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in that contest.
According to reports from the CPAC convention, there were "many attendees" donning "I Stand with Rand" t-shirts, a slogan made popular on Twitter during Paul's 13-hour filibuster earlier this month.
More specifically, Kristol probably saw himself reflected in Paul's CPAC comment, "The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered. I don't think we need to name any names here, do we?" "The new GOP — the GOP that will win again — will need to embrace liberty in both the economic and personal sphere," he added.
Kristol heard the bell tolling for him and his ilk and decided to strike a vengeful note in response.
The Fox News Sunday commentary isn't the first time Kristol has bad-mouthed Paul in the press.
In an op-ed published in the Weekly Standard (an establishment Republican magazine he co-founded), Kristol called the libertarian-leaning senator the "spokesman for the Code Pink faction of the Republican Party." Kristol was referring to the liberal group of women focused primarily on anti-war issues.

R.A. Dickey has a torn abdominal muscle, will have surgery
R.A. Dickey will have surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle on October 18, he told reporters after the game.
Dickey said he tore the muscle in April, but Ray Ramirez and the training staff did a great job keeping him 'symptom free.'
The procedure is non-invasive and he expects to be 100 percent for Spring Training.
Dickey took a no-decision in his final start of the ending the year 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA and 230 strikeouts.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Of course he pitched with a torn abdominal muscle… because he's Superman.
I just hope the surgeon doesn't step on Dickey's cape and risk success for our hero in 2013.
In all seriousness, if he doesn't win the Cy Young award, I blame Lex Luthor. It'd be the only logical reason… He should be the only choice.
Good luck, RA, with the Cy Young and with surgery… It was a treat getting to watch you this year. You make baseball fun, we love rooting for you and I already can't wait to see you pitch again next season.

Carrying the Olympic Torch
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
Fred Spielberger, a recording engineer, radio announcer and retired Columbia Records executive, who died May 16 at age 96, was selected by Coca-Cola to carry the Olympic Torch in 1996 in acknowledgement of his many and significant contributions to the community, according to the obituary published in the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News.
He donated countless hours to various non-profit organizations. He volunteered more than 1500 hours a year at the Tech Museum of Innovation and assisted low-income Spanish-speaking residents with tax preparation.
By most accounts, Fred was a cool guy - not to say he wasn't your typical Type A: stubborn, strong-willed, and determined, his family wrote in his obit. He loved to tell jokes and funny stories. He collected and carried them in his pocket, ready to share humor with anyone he came across, especially while waiting for the bus, at the gym, or in line at the bank. He was also eccentric and quirky.
Since 1928, countless volunteers like Fred, Olympic veterans and others noted for their service to their communities and countries have participated in the torch relay, transporting the legendary Olympic Flame to Olympic game sites.
Several other Olympic torch bearers have died in recent weeks, including the following:
Mark A. Smith, who died June 21 at age 53, had owned a successful car dealership in Macon, Ga., and was actively involved in numerous charities in the local community, according to the obit in the Northwest Florida Daily News.
He was recognized for these efforts and was given the honor of bearing the torch of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games running the same to the steps of Macon's City Hall, the obit said.
Ava De Angelis was a passionate sports fan who, in 2002, was honored to be a Winter Olympic Torch Bearer on its way to Salt Lake City. Her obituary in the Idaho Statesman details her love of sports, both watching and playing: Ava was an astonishing bowler, and the strikes made with her slow rolling, twisting balls are stuff of legend to family and friends.
She was also remembered for the joy she brought to family and friends: While small in stature, her heart and ever present smile made her seem as though she were a giant in any room. Ava has left an indelible mark on everyone she met through her quick ability to laugh, complete willingness to always give to others, and the ability to see the good in everyone and every situation.
One of Edward Lee "Nick" Nicholson Jr.'s proudest moments was carrying the torch into Knox County for the 1996 Olympics, according to the obit in the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel.
In 1993, the retired Oak Ridge (Tenn.) National Laboratory chemical engineer, who died June 24 at age 90, began to volunteer working for Habitat for Humanity, joining the Tuesday-Thursday group for nearly 12 years. During the next few years, Nick, with help, built the greenhouse at the O'Connor Senior Center.
Marie Wright was a mother, wife, prominent artist, and friend to many, according to her obituary in the Clarion Ledger. She shared her quick wit, ready smile, wisdom, and optimistic spirit with friends and family. Despite her physical challenges from longstanding rheumatoid arthritis, she always remained positive and looked for rainbows in life rather than focusing on dark clouds. Because of these attributes and more, she was chosen to be an Olympic torch bearer for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah.
Jerald D. "Jerry" Holyoak, a longtime bank executive who died June 7 at age 83, was a 1996 Olympic Games Torch Bearer, United Way Community Hero and recipient of the Utah National Guard Minuteman Award, American Red Cross Lifesavers Award and American Cancer Society Sword of Hope Award, according to the obit in the Salt Lake Tribune.
Jerald always offered a hand up to those in need and never turned his back on anyone, according to the obit written by his family. Compassion to all people flowed through his veins, and he lived his life as a true example of an extraordinary human being.
Mildred Clark was a mother extraordinaire. She drew from her inner strength and love to live life's successes and joys proudly, but humbly, through her children and grandchildren. As her obituary in the Salt Lake Tribune tells it, one of the most fun events of her life was to represent the grandmothers of America as a torchbearer in the 2002 Olympic Torch Run in Salt Lake.
Fred Birchmore was inducted to the Athens (Georgia) Athletic Hall of Fame, according to his obituary in the Athens Banner-Herald. Perhaps one of his greatest honors was being selected by the people of Athens and the state of Georgia to carry the Olympic Torch under the Arch in 1996.
Birchmore's obituary is packed with stories about a fascinating life. Here's just one example: He set out on his bicycle to the east, crossing the Sinai into Palestine, across Persia, through the wilds of tribal Afghanistan and over the Khyber Pass into India. From there he traveled through Southeast Asia, finally heading for home from Manila, Phillippines, earning his passage by piloting the ship because the seamen were on strike.
Norman J. Martinelli, 90, who died in June, ran as torch bearer in the 1996 Olympic Torch Worldwide Relay, according to the obit in the Hartford (Conn.) Courant.
He gave generously of his time, money, and skills, and actively participated in many civic and religious fund raising events, the obit said.
This post was contributed by Alana Baranick, a freelance obituary writer. She is the director of the Society of Professional Obituary Writers and chief author of Life on the Death Beat: A Handbook for Obituary Writers.

The Potsdam Central and Norwood-Norfolk varsity baseball teams extended their undefeated starts to the 2013 NAC season with wins over divisional rivals on Monday.
Potsdam 10-6, Salmon River 0-0: Will Coleman spun a seven-inning, 15-strikeout, two-hit shutout in opening game and Connor Prosper tossed a five-inning, three-strikeout no-hitter in the nightcap, which was played a non-league game as the Sandstoners improved to 3-0 atop the NAC Central Division standings and 6-0 overall.
Coleman walked one, then tripled and singled to support his own effort. Ben Miller added a pair of singles, scored three runs and drove in two while Shawn Clark rapped three singles, drove in three and scored twice. Brandon Noble singled and doubled while Andrew Ace singled two times, driving in two in support of Coleman.
Devin LaPage and Antwain Domino each singled once in the opener while Jarid Gray suffered the loss, fanning one with five free passes.
In game two, Shawn Clark belted a pair of two-run homers in support of Prosper. RBI singles came off the bats of Miller, Noble and Mark Maroney as Prosper allowed just two base runners – one via an error and one hit by pitch.
Bert Gray took the loss, fanning three batters.
The Sandstoners are slated to play at OFA on Wednesday while Salmon River is slated to play a non-league game at Peru of Section 7.
N-N 12, Brushton-Moira 1: At Brushton, the Flyers ran their overall record to 3-0 on the young season, breaking open a tie ballgame with a four-run third inning and saddling the the host Panthers with the loss.
A pair of Flyer pitchers combined to limit the Panthers to just one hit during the divisional victory while rapping 11 hits against four B-M hurlers.
Winning pitcher Cody Smith opened the game on the hill for the Flyers, 1-0 in the division, with Tristan Harvey slamming the door shut on B-M, tossing the final two frames.
Norwood-Norfolk opened the scoring with a solo run in the first as Zeb Brown singled to right and raced over to third on the first of three B-M errors. Brown trotted home with the games first run as Harvey stroked a single to right.
Brushton-Moira made it a close contest early on as leadoff batter Adam Martin worked Smith for a free pass, trotted to second on a balk, stole third and scored on a throwing error by the N-N catcher.
After that, it was all N-N, as the Flyers scored four runs in the third, added a solo run in the fourth and capped the victory with three runs in both the fifth and seventh innings.
In picking up the win, Smith allowed just the one hit – a single to left in the second inning off the bat of Jon Kennedy – four walks and struck out seven – five looking. Harvey closed the door in the final two innings.
B-M starter Alex Burnett was taken off the hook when Brushton-Moira tied the game at 1-all in the first, as he gave way to Zach Burnett in the third. Zach Burnett had trouble finding the strike zone as he walked three batters, hit one and served up just one base hit, a two-out, two-run single by Chris Prashaw.
But the damage was done and the Flyers added to their 5-1 lead over the final four innings to post the victory.
Smith, Brown and Harvey led the N-N offense with two hits each with Smith and Harvey rapping a double each. Harvey finished the game with three RBI as Prashaw drove in the eventual game-winning run with his third-inning single.
The Panthers Trent Gary made his varsity debut on the mound in the top of the fourth, relieving Zach Burnett with Kennedy finishing the game on the hill, tossing the final frame. The four B-M pitchers combined to allow 11 hits, five walks and hit three N-N batters while striking out six.
In the other Central Division game played Monday, OFA blanked Canton 10-0 while the lone other East Division game saw Madrid-Waddington stop Parishville-Hopkinton 14-0. The two West Division games had Harrisville doubling Lisbon 6-3 and Edwards-Knox outscoring Clifton-Fine 7-4.
OFA 10, Canton 0: Breton LaRose struck out seven and allowed two hits in five innings and Alex Farrell secured a save allowing just one hit and striking out three tossing three scoreless innings in relief as OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton picked up a victory in his first home game.
The Devils broke loose for four runs in the fourth inning and four in the fifth against a very young Canton squad sparked by Zack Sharpe who lined two singles and a double to drive in five runs and scored three times from the ninth sport in the batting order.
Andrew Cole singled and doubled for the Devils and Konnor Murdock (RBI) doubled and saved the shutout on defense by charging a bunt from thirdbase and tagging out the runner a runner at the plate.
Singles in the OFA cause came from Kinnon LaRose, Chandler Barney, Farrell, Seth Pinkerton and DaKota Brady. Bryant Wentworth, starting pitcher Alex Hayes, Nathan Holmes and Daven Foote singled for Canton.
M-W 14, P-H 0: Zach Brock had 10 strikeouts and walked none in a complete-game two-hitter as the Yellowjackets opened a 3-0 lead in the third inning then took control with an eight-run outburst in the fourth. Wyatt Snell (2K, 4BB) went four innings in taking the loss before Logan Chapman (1K, 2BB) and Ryan Snyder (1K, 2BB) closed out the pitching effort for the Panthers.
Michael Thew doubled, tripled and score a run in the winning effort. Brock (3RBI, 1 run scored) and Alex Baxter (2 runs scored) poled two hits apiece while Dan Cassada singled and scored a pair or runs.
