Phil Campbell hosts summer campPublished 6:00am Wednesday, July 25, 2012
PHIL CAMPBELL — Summer months in Alabama bring two things to the area; record high temperatures and summer camps.
Phil Campbell witnessed both on Monday and Tuesday, as new head football coach Jason Hill hosted his first summer football camp for the town's youth this week.
"It's been a hot summer, but we're doing a good job of keeping the players hydrated," Hill said.
"The days of coaches not letting their players have water during the summer went away after Coach Bryant and the Junction Boys."
There were 20-30 campers in the group for older kids that had to brave the heat of the day, but Coach Hill does not think it was the elements that kept more people from coming.
"The thing that has affected attendance the most is the timing of the camp," he said.
"Whenever I got hired it was after school, so I didn't get to advertise for the camp as much as I would have liked to."
Coach Hill may be new to Phil Campbell, but coaching a summer camp is something he has plenty of experience with.
"We've done a camp everywhere I've been since 1999," he said. "We'll try to grow it here every year.
It's important to bridge the gap between from the young guys to middle school to varsity. To start change you have to start early."
Coach Hill said that some ways to make the age gaps in football work better together as players get older are such simple things as naming certain aspects of the game the same thing.
For instance, if the act of a defensive lineman lining up in the "A" gap between the center and left guard is referred to as a "1 technique" from youth football to high school, players will learn it early and recognize the position throughout their playing careers.
Another way to bridge the gap is to have the younger players get to know the high school staff early on.
"I'm more than willing to do my part," Hill said. "I want the younger players to meet me and my coaches and get to know us.
That way maybe they'll want to play for us when they get older.
This is an incredible opportunity.
I told my coaches you always have to over plan and to try to build up the players as athletes and make them want to play the game."

Florida state lawmakers are calling for a crackdown on preventable concussions.
Each year, some 140,000 high school athletes sustain serious head injuries.
Tuesday, a coalition of sports professionals, doctors and parents launched a statewide campaign called "Mind Your Brain" focused on raising awareness about traumatic brain injuries.
Supporters want the legislature to pass a bill requiring coaches to pull players out of the game if they notice any sign of concussion.
One high school athlete says a mandate like that could have prevented a concussion he suffered during a soccer game last year.
"I mean, I worked so hard to make varsity and i was, the whole year, I mean, I was playing behind great seniors, but at the same time I'm kind of just like, on my toes on the bench ready to hop in and do my best if I ever get called, so this opportunity comes up and I didn't want to let it go and I got hurt," said David Goldstein.
The legislation would require the state high school athletic association and private youth sports groups to adopt the concussion policy.

"School teachers, book keepers, doctors, lawyers . . . it runs the gamut," said FBI Spec. Agent Bob Hawk. "Nothing surprises me anymore".
Jay Goldblatt, 47, is counsel for Pubco Corporation. He does not practice criminal law.
The FBI says Goldblatt was arrested Tuesday night. He will be charged with compelling prostitution with a minor.
"We arranged a meeting," Hawk said. "He was going to pay several hundred dollars for the services of an 11-year-old female. What he met with was his arrest.
His ex-wife Donna Levy declined an interview with Target 3. The couple has two children of their own.
Goldblatt just moved onto Bryden Rd. in Beachwood. His property actually backs up into Bryden Elementary School. It is a location that gives his neighbors pause.
Mike silver has an 8-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.
"He was the kind of person as far as I knew I would have let my daughter go over and help unpack so certainly now that raises questions," Silver said.
Goldblatt was released on a 10,000 bond. His case is now before a grand jury.
Despite attempts to reach Goldblatt at his office and home, the suspect was not available for an interview.

Treatments for Merkel cell carcinoma can include:
Surgery. During surgery, your doctor removes the tumor along with a border of normal skin surrounding the tumor. If there's evidence that the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the area of the skin tumor, those lymph nodes are removed (lymph node dissection).
The surgeon most often uses a scalpel to cut away the cancer. In some cases, your doctor may use a procedure called Mohs surgery.
During Mohs surgery, thin layers of tissue are methodically removed and analyzed under the microscope to see whether they contain cancer cells. If cancer is found, the surgical process is repeated until cancer cells are no longer visible in the tissue. This type of surgery takes out less normal tissue — thereby reducing scarring — but ensures a tumor-free border of skin.
Radiation therapy. Radiation therapy involves directing high-energy beams, such as X-rays, at cancer cells. During radiation treatment, you're positioned on a table and a large machine moves around you, directing the beams to precise points on your body.
Radiation therapy is sometimes used after surgery to destroy any cancer cells that remain after the tumor is removed.
Radiation also may be used as the sole treatment in people who choose not to undergo surgery. Radiation can also be used to treat areas where the cancer has spread.
Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs can be administered through a vein in your arm or taken as a pill or both.
Your doctor may recommend chemotherapy if your Merkel cell carcinoma has spread to your lymph nodes or other organs in your body, or if it has returned despite treatment.

Director, Identity and Records Protection (IRP)
Privacy, Governmental Liaison and Disclosure (PGLD)
This section provides the basic requirements for electronic records, including electronic mail (e-mail). It also addresses the creation, maintenance, retention, and disposition of these records.
An electronic record contains information recorded in a form that is machine-readable (e.g., information that only a computer can process, and which, without a computer, would not be understandable to people). Recorded electronic information becomes a federal record when it satisfies the statutory definition of a "record," see IRM 1.15.2, which is the same definition applied to information recorded on paper. Basic definitions pertaining to electronic records management are:
Collaboration Tools - used to allow multiple users access to the same document for purposes of sharing information.
Data Base - (in electronic records) - a set of data, consisting of at least one file or a group of integrated files, usually stored in one location and made available to several users at the same time for various applications.
Data Base Management System - a software system used to access and retrieve data stored in a database.
Data File - numeric, textual, or graphic information that is organized in a strictly-prescribed form and format.
Documentation - records required to plan, develop, operate, maintain, and use electronic records. Included are system specifications, file specifications, codebooks, record layouts, user guides, and output specifications.
Electronic Information System - a system that provides access to computerized federal records and other information.
Electronic Mail System (E-Mail) - a computer application used to create, receive, and transmit messages and other documents. Exception: Excluded from this definition are: file transfer utilities (software that transmits files between users but does not retain any transmission data); data systems used to collect and process data that have been organized into data files or data bases on either personal computers or mainframe computers; and word processing documents not transmitted on an e-mail system.
Electronic Mail Message - a record created or received on an electronic mail system including briefing notes, more formal or substantive narrative documents, and any attachments, such as word processing and other electronic documents, which may be transmitted with the message.
Electronic Receipt--information in e-mail systems regarding date and time of receipt of a message, and/or acknowledgment of receipt or access by addressee(s).
Electronic Recordkeeping System - a system whereby records are collected, organized, and categorized to facilitate their preservation, retrieval, use and disposition.
Electronic Transmission Data - information in e-mail systems regarding the identities of sender and addressee(s), and the date and time messages were sent (sometimes referred to as metadata).
Records Management Application (RMA) - software used to capture, categorize, locate, and identify records due for disposition, as well as store, retrieve, and document the disposition of records stored within its repository.
Social Media (New Media)- internet or web-based technologies designed to disseminate information through social interaction. Examples include Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace and other such technologies.
Structured Electronic Data - data that resides in fixed fields within a record or file such as relational databases or Excel spreadsheets.
Unstructured Electronic Data - data that does not reside in fixed fields, but is free-form text such as word processing documents.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is responsible for issuing standards for management of federal records created or received on electronic systems. These standards apply to all Federal agency offices using office automation or information systems and will be followed by the IRS. The complete version of 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1236 – Electronic Records Management, is available at http://www.ecfr/gov.
For electronic information systems that produce, use, or store data files, disposition instructions for the data will be incorporated into the systems' design.
IRS offices will maintain adequate and up-to-date technical documentation for each electronic system that produces, uses, or stores data files. The minimum documentation required is as follows:
Narrative description of the system, physical and technical characteristics of the records, including a records layout that describes each field (name, size, starting or relative position);
A description of the form of the data (alphabetic, zoned decimal, packed decimal, or numeric);
A data dictionary, or the equivalent information associated with a data base management system, i.e. a description of the relationship between data elements in databases, and any other technical information needed to read or process the records;
A copy of the user's manual or handbook on how to operate and use the system or database;
Completion of IRS Form 12240, Information Systems Description , IRS Form 14510, New Records Series Data Collection, or other documentation verifying records scheduling authorization; and
A sample of the data, reports, or other documents the system or data base may produce and to whom they are provided.
These elements and items will be submitted to the ARM for processing and submission to the Records and Information Management (RIM) Program Office.
Capital Planning and Investment Controls. In accordance with OMB Circular A-130, IRS must incorporate records management functions into the design, development and implementation of information systems. In addition to ensuring the accessibility and proper accountability for their information systems, IRS must ensure that all electronic systems are evaluated through the Capital Planning and Investment Controls (CPIC) process. The current CPIC questionnaire includes a section on Records Management. It is important for these questions to be addressed at the beginning of the system development process to ensure that records management functionality is part of the system design phase.
Electronic System Shutdown (related to projects that follow the Enterprise Life Cycle [ELC] process). Electronic system owners must follow appropriate shutdown procedures when a system is scheduled for cancellation. The process is defined through a systematic series of actions to ensure orderly and efficient performance of essential shutdown activities. The following records management actions must be taken when migrating, retiring, or shutting down an electronic system:
If information is to be migrated to another system you must:
1) Notify the RIM Program Office of changes to system (i.e. name change, or changes in functionality, etc.);
2) Determine if any changes should be made to the disposition of the new system based on changes in functionality; and
3) Manage the new system in accordance with an approved disposition authority.
If the information is not being migrated to a new system you must:
1) Notify the RIM Program Office that this information will no longer be collected; and
2) Establish a plan to manage any legacy record data that has not yet met its approved disposition.
At a minimum, electronic recordkeeping systems that maintain the official copy of unstructured data such as text documents, email, presentations, audio video files, image files, and PDF files electronically will provide:
A method for all authorized users of the system to retrieve desired documents, such as an indexing or text search system;
An appropriate level of security to ensure integrity of the documents;
An appropriate audit trail or tracking system for data manipulation and version identification;
A standard interchange format when necessary to permit the exchange of documents on electronic media between IRS computers using different software/operating systems and the conversion or migration of documents on electronic media from one system to another; and
The disposition of the documents including, when necessary, the requirements for transferring permanent records to NARA (see IRM 220.127.116.11).
IRS may also choose to use a DoD 5015.2-STD compliant Records Management Application to assist in the management of unstructured electronic records. Currently, IRS has 60,000 licenses of EMC Documentum that will allow for Enterprise level management of unstructured electronic record data. For more information about this product, please contact the IRS RIM Program Office.
IRS instructions on identifying and preserving electronic mail messages will address the following unique aspects of electronic mail:
Some transmission data (names of sender and addressee(s) and date the message was sent) must be preserved for each electronic mail record in order for the context of the message to be understood.
Offices using an electronic mail system that identifies users by codes or nicknames or identifies addressees only by the name of a distribution list shall instruct staff on how to retain names on directories or distribution lists to ensure identification of the sender and addressee(s) of messages that are records.
Offices using an electronic mail system that allows users to request acknowledgments or receipts showing that a message reached the mailbox or in box of each addressee, or that an addressee opened the message, shall issue instructions to e-mail users specifying when to request such receipts or acknowledgments for recordkeeping purposes and how to preserve them.
Offices with access to external electronic mail systems shall ensure that federal records sent or received on these systems are preserved in the appropriate recordkeeping system, which may be paper, and that steps are taken to capture available transmission and receipt data needed by the agency for recordkeeping purposes.
Some e-mail systems provide calendars and task lists for users and, therefore, those utilities may meet the definition of a federal record. Calendars that meet the definition of federal records are to be managed in accordance with the provisions of General Records Schedule 23, Records Common to Most Offices, Item 5 Schedule of Daily Activities published in IRS Document 12829.
Draft documents that are circulated on electronic mail systems may be records if they meet the definition of a federal record. If a draft document meets the criteria, including any comments or changes made, must be captured "as is" and retained as a record for the IRS. (36 CFR 1222.12).
IRS offices will consider the following criteria when developing procedures for the maintenance of electronic mail records in appropriate recordkeeping systems, regardless of format. The recordkeeping systems that include electronic mail messages must:
Provide for the grouping of related records or topics into classifications according to the nature of the business purposes the records serve;
Permit easy and timely retrieval of both individual records and files or other groupings of related records;
Retain the records in a usable format for their required retention period as specified by a NARA-approved records schedule;
Be accessible by individuals who have a business need for information in the system or for recordkeeping purposes;
Preserve the transmission and receipt data as required by agency instructions; and
Permit either retirement or separation of temporary records from permanent, as well as the transfer of permanent records to NARA. See 36 CFR Parts 1235 and 1236 for additional information.
IRS offices will not store the official recordkeeping copy of e-mail messages that are federal records ONLY on the electronic mail system, unless the system has all of the features of an electronic recordkeeping system, some of which are specified in paragraph 2 above. If the electronic mail system is not designed to be a recordkeeping system, ask an E-Mail/System Administrator to instruct you on how to copy the information from the electronic mail system to a recordkeeping system or produce a hard copy for recordkeeping purposes.
IRS offices that maintain their e-mail records electronically will move or copy them to a separate electronic recordkeeping system unless their system has the features specified in IRM 22.214.171.124(2) above. Backup tapes are not to be used for recordkeeping purposes.
Offices may retain records from electronic mail systems in an off-line electronic storage format (such as optical disk or magnetic tape) that meets the requirements of 36 CFR 1236.28. Offices that create or have permanent e-mail records scheduled for transfer to NARA will store them in a format or on a medium that conforms to the requirements for transfer (see 36 CFR 1235) or will maintain the ability to convert the records to the required format and medium at the time of transfer.
Offices that maintain paper files as their recordkeeping systems will print their e-mail records and the related transmission and receipt data.
When email inboxes become too full, or hard drives need to be "cleaned up" , the following steps must be taken:
Inventory email to identify personal messages, work-related non-record messages, and those email messages that meet the definition of a federal record.
Personal messages must be deleted when no longer needed. These include such material as emails sent to and received from friends, family members, and list serves; messages about lunch dates; video and audio clips; and other messages received on non-work time.
Work-related non-record messages must be deleted when no longer needed. These include information/reference email and word processing files received "for your information" or as a carbon (CC) or blind copy (BC), but which you were not expected to and did not take action on. Further examples may include copies of directives and interim guidance, notices, images, CAD drawings, and copies of reports.
E-mail messages identified as federal records must be handled in accordance with their NARA-approved disposition schedule and kept in an approved recordkeeping system as discussed above. To identify the appropriate disposition, consult the Records Control Schedules Documents 12829 and 12990 or your ARM. A full listing of ARMs is located on the RIM website. IRS employees are instructed to retain all electronic copies and paper records until disposition instructions have been approved and distributed by the IRS RIM Program Office. Unlawfully destroying federal records is a violation of the Federal Records Act and carries stiff penalties.
See Exhibit 1.15.6-1 for Common Questions About E-mail. The RIM Program Office currently has the following information available through its website:
Managing E-mail training course;
Document 12073, Managing Electronic Mail; and
IRS Guidance for Sorting out E-files on Network Servers and Hard Drives
Electronic records may be admitted in evidence to federal courts for use in court proceedings if trustworthiness is established by thoroughly documenting the recordkeeping system's operation and the controls imposed upon it [Federal Rules of Evidence 803(8)]. IRS offices should implement the following procedures to enhance the legal admissibility of electronic records:
Document that similar kinds of records generated and stored electronically are created by the same processes each time and have a standardized retrieval approach;
Verify that security and audit procedures prevent unauthorized addition, modification, or deletion of a record and ensure system protection against such problems as power interruptions;
Identify the electronic media on which records are stored throughout their life cycle, the maximum time span that records remain on each storage medium, and the NARA-approved disposition of all records; and
Coordinate all of the above with Counsel, the IRS Records Officer and senior IRM and records management staff.
IRS offices will implement and maintain an effective records security program that incorporates the following:
Ensures that only authorized personnel have access to electronic records.
Provides for backup and recovery of records to protect against information loss or corruption.
Ensures that appropriate agency personnel are trained to safeguard sensitive or classified electronic records.
Minimizes the risk of unauthorized alteration or erasure of electronic records.
Ensures that electronic records security is included in computer systems security plans prepared pursuant to the Computer Security Act of 1987.
The IRS Records Officer is the liaison with NARA and customer organizations for ensuring that electronic records and the related documentation are retained for as long as needed by the IRS. These disposition and retention procedures shall include provisions for:
Scheduling all electronic records, as well as related documentation and indexes, by submitting an SF-115, Request for Records Disposition Authority to NARA or, in some instances by applying NARAs General Records Schedules. The information in electronic information systems, including those operated for the IRS by a contractor, will be scheduled as soon as possible, but no later that one year after implementation of the system.
Transferring a copy of the electronic records and related documentation and indexes to NARA at the time specified in the records control schedule for permanent records.
SF-115 is completed by the IRS Records Management staff only.
Records created within e-mail systems, which meet the criteria of a federal record, are subject to the same retention periods as the paper or hard-copy versions. Therefore, these records must be retained electronically according to the NARA-approved disposition authority or printed and associated with the appropriate recordkeeping system. Temporary e-mail records can be deleted only when they are eligible for destruction or when they have been printed and associated with the appropriate recordkeeping system. See additional information on the retention and transfer of permanent electronic records in subsection IRM 22.214.171.124.
At the direction of a management official as to what is considered a record, the E-mail/Systems Administrators will establish procedures for regular recopying, reformatting, and other necessary maintenance to ensure the retention and usability of electronic records throughout their authorized life cycle.
The responsibility for instructing users on how to copy and archive electronic mail records rests with the E-Mail/Systems Administrators at the user levels. With the proper direction from a management official, the user and/or end recipient should possess the expertise to identify and determine which records are worthy of preservation and/or archiving.
The disposition of electronic mail records that have been relocated to an appropriate recordkeeping system is governed by schedules that control the records in that system. If the records in the system are not scheduled, contact the Area Records Manager or the RIM Program Office to get them scheduled and approved by NARA.
Approved disposition authorities for electronic records created as part of tax processing systems are included in separate Records Control Schedules 8 through 37 based on their use and/or associated activity (published in Document 12990). Many other administrative systems are included in the General Records Schedules 38 through 64 (published in Document 12829). Questions concerning the scheduling of an electronic system should be directed to the IRS RIM Program Office.
The legal requirements for the transfer of permanent records to NARA are documented in 36 CFR 1235 and set forth in general form in the paragraphs below. Consult the IRS RIM Program Office for more detailed instructions and guidance on the transfer for permanent IRS records.
IRS offices may transfer electronic records to NARA on magnetic tape using either open-reel magnetic tape or tape cartridges. Open-reel tape should be on 1/1 inch 9-track tape reels recorded at 1600 or 6250 bytes per inch and blocked no higher than 32,760 bytes per block. Tape cartridges should be 18-track 3480-class cartridges recorded at 37,871 bpi and blocked at no more than 32,760 bytes per block.
CD-ROMs may be used as transfer media for fielded data files or text files if they conform to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9660 Standard and to the American Code for Information Interchange (ASCII); are not compressed unless NARA has approved the transfer of the compressed form in advance; and are individually addressable. The CD-ROMs may contain software files and temporary records, but permanent records must be in files that contain only permanent records.
DVDs may be used to transfer certain types of permanent files. It is recommended to look for gold or silver colored DVDs for the best quality. If transferring records that have been copied to a DVD from another media, agencies must transfer the premaster videotape and two copies of the discs. All permanent files must be on one DVD and not mixed with temporary files.
Records will be in a format that is not dependent on specific hardware or software, written in ASCII or EBCDIC with all extraneous characters removed (except records length indicators for variable length records, marks delimiting a data element, field, record or file, or Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) tags). Records should not be compressed unless NARA has approved the transfer in the compressed form in advance. If the records are in ASCII, the electronic files should have standard ANSI labels as specified in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 79 and/or ISO Standard 9600. If the records are in EBCDIC, the electronic files should have standard IBM OS or DOS labels.
Data files and databases shall be transferred as flat files or as rectangular tables, that is, as two-dimensional arrays, lists, or tables. All records in a database or elements in a relational database should have the same logical format. Each data element within a record should contain only one data value. A record should not contain nested repeating groups of data items.
Textual Documents in electronic form should be transferred as plain ASCII files; such files may contain SGML or XML tags.
Electronic mail, scanned images of textual records, portable document format (PDF) records, digital photographic records, web content records, and digital spatial data files should be transferred to NARA in accordance with requirements available at http:// www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/initiatives/transfer-to-nara.html.
IRS offices must provide adequate technical documentation for each permanent electronic file identified for transfer to NARA. Adequate documentation contains enough information to allow the records to be interpreted and understood in context. The extent, format, and content of the documentation varies for different types of electronic records. The documentation for a text file differs from the documentation for survey data or statistical files and from that for indices or tracking files. Within the types of records, documentation can vary as well. One survey might have very different documentation than another survey. This subsection provides some guidance to IRS offices regarding the content and potential sources of adequate documentation for permanent electronic records.
Information about documentation might be in publications, administrative reports, annual reports, memoranda, user notes, system guides, inventories or control systems for electronic records, file descriptions, Privacy Act notices, or manual or automated data dictionaries. The information about documentation is more important than the format.
Some of the documentation for electronic records may only exist in paper form. When the documentation is in electronic format, identify and transfer the documentation data as separate files along with the files containing the electronic records. The transfer format standards for electronic records also apply to documentation files. Microform copies of documentation, when available, are also useful.
Three main types of information make up documentation: technical specifications, information about file content and structure, and context. Provided below is more information on each type:
IRS Form 12240, and/or required technical specifications adequate for servicing and interpreting each file.
Each file requires a specific definition of its structure and content. This includes a record layout and a codebook for each field containing coded information. Documentation may be in data dictionaries, file, user, codebooks, file or system manuals.
Contextual information explains how the electronic records fit into the IRS programs or mission. This information answers the questions: "Who created the Records?" and "Why?" and "For What Purpose?"
If several data files containing related information are transferred, the documentation should include a description or diagram of how the files relate to each other. At a minimum, the documentation should specify the key fields, including primary keys, used to uniquely identify each record in a file, and the foreign keys, which relate records in one file to records in another file.
The forms required to transfer permanent records to NARA are set forth below:
The Standard Form 258, Agreement to Transfer Records to the National Archives of the United States, (completed by the IRS Records Staff only – see Exhibit 1.15.5-1 for a sample).
NA Form 14097, Technical Description for Transfer of Electronic Records to the National Archives, or its equivalent, IRS Form 12240, must be completed and provided by the program office for attachment to the SF-258.
Contact your ARM or the RIM Program Office for instructions and assistance in completing the systems form and identification of other documents necessary for transfer of the electronic records.
Submit the NA Form 14097, or its equivalent, IRS Form 12240, along with the identified documentation through your ARM to the IRS RIM Program Office for completion, approval and submission to NARA.
IRS offices must plan for the proper management of records stored on such media as CDs, DVDs, removable hard drives, audio/video tapes, and USB drives. These media types are considered fragile and susceptible to record modification, erasure, and damage. IRS must prepare for technical obsolescence when using such media.
Storage of record material must be done in accordance with approved records dispositions. All functionally similar records should be stored together and standard naming conventions should be utilized to ensure faster retrieval.
An inventory of all removal media must be maintained.
All removable media must be properly labeled.
All removable media must be stored under proper environmental conditions and all security precautions must be taken to protect information throughout the life cycle of the records.
Information stored on removable media must be periodically reviewed for deterioration to ensure availability of record information.
A migration plan must be established to ensure access to record information due to technological obsolescence.
For more detailed guidance, see the RIM Program website.
IRS must plan for the proper management of record material produced using Social Media such as Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, and other similar technologies.
IRS must plan for the proper management of record material produced using Collaboration Tools such as Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office Communicator, and any other instant messaging or collaboration environments (i.e. wikis, blogs, web portals, etc.). Collaboration may happen in multiple contexts such as Office to Office, Agency to Agency, Multiple Agency, or public to Agency (i.e. via interactive websites.)
The following records management considerations must be addressed with the use of these new technologies:
Information that meets the statutory definition of a federal record (44 USC 3301) must be captured and managed in accordance with an approved Records Control Schedule.
Records must be captured in an accessible, usable format.
1) Most collaboration software and instant messaging clients reside on the Agency server and can be captured at the server level in either plain text or through the use of a DoD 5015.2 certified application, such as EMC Documentum.
2) If the collaboration environment is not located on the Agency's server, procedures for the capture of record material must be discussed with the vendor/owner of the software or tool.
A responsible office/Agency must be designated for the management of record material. In some cases, more than one entity may have a responsibility for the same records, depending on their use.
Records must be managed in accordance with the content and not the format.
Records determined to have Permanent value must be transferred to NARA in an approved format. Records may have to be migrated from original format to one accepted by NARA at the time of transfer.
For additional information and guidance, please contact the IRS RIM Program Office
When are e-mail messages records?
An e-mail message is a record if:
a. it documents the IRS mission or provides evidence of an IRS business transaction,
b. it can be retrieved if you, or anyone else, need to find out what had been done, or
c. it can be used in other official actions.
Treat e-mail messages the same way you would treat paper correspondence.
Do I have to manage incoming and outgoing e-mail as records?
Yes, you should apply the standard described above to both incoming and outgoing e-mail. The reason is that both the sender and recipient of e-mail messages have the responsibility to document their activities and those of their organizations. Both the sender and the recipient have to determine whether a particular e-mail message is a necessary part of that documentation or if it fills in gaps in other records series.
How can e-mail be an official record if it is not signed?
A signature does not make something a record. Many types of records, such as incoming letters, formal and informal manuals, published reports, photographs, voice recordings and maps, do not contain signatures, but they can be records.
If an e-mail record is sent to several recipients, which copy is the official record?
It depends. Different copies of the same message may ALL be records. If you take any official action related to a message, and if the message is needed for adequate and complete documentation of the action, the message would be a record in your office, regardless of whether copies are retained elsewhere. If the message is a record in your office's official files, then the copy you print or maintain on your PC is not a record and you may delete or destroy it. If you receive a message for information purposes only and do not take any action related to it, your copy is not a record.
Do these guidelines apply to IRS contractors?
Yes, these guidelines apply to IRS contractors and agents who act on behalf of the IRS, as well as all IRS employees. Contract terms should ensure that contractor systems satisfy the legal requirements for creating and maintaining adequate and complete records of IRS transactions when those transactions are carried out by contractors.
Are there special requirements for retaining e-mail messages as records?
The basic requirements applicable to all records apply to e-mail records as well. If they are not in an approved electronic recordkeeping system, then the e-mail messages identified as records must be printed out and placed in the appropriate record system. However, there are some specific elements for records sent or received through e-mail which also must be captured in addition to the message to satisfy recordkeeping requirements. You should ensure that:
the e-mail record includes transmission data that identifies the sender and the recipient(s) and the date and time the message was sent and/or received;
when e-mail is sent to a distribution list, information identifying all parties on the list the list must be retained for as long as the message is retained; and
if the e-mail system using codes, or aliases to identify senders or recipients, a record of their real name(s) is kept for as long as any record containing only the codes or aliases.
If you are communicating with someone via the Internet and their e-mail address does not indicate who they are (e.g. the address is JerryR@ …) then a record must be made and kept with the message of who they are. If the message is to be kept electronically, this can be done by including their full name, title, and organization in the body of the message. If the message is printed out, then make a similar notation on the bottom of the message.
Why is it necessary to keep the transmission data about the sender, receiver, date, and time of the e-mail?
This information is essential, the same as the names of the sender and addressee, the date, or a time stamp from a letter, memorandum or envelope on paper. You would not delete this information from those documents.
What if the message does not qualify as a record?
Delete e-mail that is not a record when no longer of use.
An e-mail message advising section employees of a staff meeting or a training opportunity can be destroyed after it has been read, or the meeting/training period has passed.

Sailors Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page came out of the 2012 Rolex Miami OCR victorious and now they share with us the experience and excitement of their win which marked a first in the regattas history.
Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page racing in Miami
Finally managed to win the Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta. After two silver medals in our last two attempts, it was a nice feeling for Malcolm and I to come away with the Gold. It is the first time in the regattas history, 22 years, that an Australian has won this in an Olympic class.
We experienced predominately light conditions throughout the regatta but it was a great opportunity to practice our racing since the Worlds. Our weeks performances were consistent with a close fought battle with the team from Netherlands, the Coster brothers (Fourth in Beijing). We held a 10 point lead coming into the medal race but not leaving anything to chance to decided to stay close to our rivals. Towards the end of the race it was clear that we would come away with Gold but our close cover was forcing the Dutch boat into third position overall.
At the end of the medal race we decided to stop before the finish and let the Dutch boat past for them to secure second position overall, a position they had held throughout the week.
With the container packed and Malcolm and Victor almost home, my wife and I decided to stay in South Beach for a few days. I will head back to Sydney, Rike to Hamburg to start all our preparations for the European season starting in late March.
Thank you for your support and look forward to catching up once we return.

French triple troops in Mali, prepare for assault
BAMAKO, Mali — After a punishing bombing campaign failed to stop the southward advance of al-Qaida-linked fighters, France announced Tuesday that it is tripling the number of troops deployed to Mali, strongly suggesting that French forces are preparing for a land assault to dislodge the extremists. The move reverses months of rhetoric in which France had said they would provide aerial and logistical support for a military intervention, but insisted it would need to be led by African troops.
Last week France plunged headfirst into the conflict, authorizing air strikes after the extremists launched an aggressive push southward. Despite pounding the north of this landlocked country with 550-pound bombs for the past five days, the rebels have extended their reach, taking over a town and its strategically important military camp in the central Malian town of Diabaly on Monday.
A French Defense Ministry official, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said that France was increasing the number of soldiers in Mali from 800 to 2,500.
The military chiefs of the nation's neighboring Mali met in Bamako Tuesday, but none of the thousands of troops pledged by these countries have yet arrived in Mali, and it has become increasingly apparent that France will be leading the attack and not playing a supporting role.
French President Francois Hollande told RFI radio early Tuesday that he thought they would succeed in ousting the extremists in one week, but by the afternoon he outlined a far longer-term commitment: "We have one objective: To make sure when we leave, when we end this intervention, there is security in Mali, legitimate leaders, an electoral process and the terrorists no longer threaten its territory," he said during a stop in the United Arab Emirates.
Supplies for the French forces continued to arrive in a steady stream Tuesday, part of the enormous logistics operation needed to support thousands of troops in the baking Sahara sun, a terrain the Islamists have operated in for nearly a decade. Transport planes bringing military hardware landed on the short airstrip. A giant Antonov, two C-17 Boeings and a C-160 disgorged equipment for the hundreds of French soldiers deployed in Mali, likely in preparation for a land offensive to seize back the northern territory held by a trio of rebel groups affiliated with al-Qaida since March.
Burly men in fatigues carried wooden boxes of munitions, labeled with signs that said, "Flammable." Armored personnel carriers queued up at the airport's gasoline pump. The roughly 40 armored vehicles were driven in overnight by French soldiers, stationed in Ivory Coast. They include the ERC-90, a six-wheeled vehicle mounted with a 90 mm cannon, which points out like a horn. Dozens of French Marines who were among the first to be deployed and arrived last week, were camping inside an airport hangar, sleeping on pads laid on the cement floor. Among the supplies they are missing are mosquito nets, explained Adj. Nicolas, who gave only his first name in keeping with military protocol.
Nicolas unscrewed the top of a bottle of anti-malarial Doxycycline, and popped a white tablet. Nearby was a tube of sunscreen, which the 35-year-old had already liberally applied on his rosy face. A veteran of Afghanistan, Nicolas said the difficulty his regiment will face is the punishing Sahara heat, and the desert terrain. The average weight that each infantrymen has to carry, including a flak jacket and a camel skin filled with 2 to 3 liters of water is between 45 to 90 pounds.
He said that although the Islamists appear to be mostly equipped with small arms, like the Russian-made 14.5 machine guns, he is not going to downplay them. On the first day of the intervention last week, a French helicopter gunship was downed by rebel fire. The funeral for the 41-year-old pilot was held Tuesday in Paris.
"We are not going to underestimate them," said Nicolas. "We are taking all the precautions we can."
A military spokesman for the operation in Mali, who could not be named in keeping with military protocol, said that the Islamists had managed to take more territory since the five-day air raid began, because the fighters are embedding themselves with the population, making it difficult to bomb without causing civilian casualties. The French are using the Mirage and the Rafale fighter jets, capable of carrying two and six, 250-kilogram bombs, respectively. The bombs are both laser- and GPS-guided, said the spokesman, but because of their size, they are useful for taking out convoys of rebel cars in the desert, or specific sites, like militant training camps, complexes and warehouses away from urban centers.
Over the weekend, the rebels made their way to the rice-growing region, just north of the main city in central Mali, Segou. The rebels cut across in a knifing movement, first cutting in through the road connecting Diabaly, home to an important military camp and a population of 35,000, and Niono, the last town before Segou.
France ordered the evacuation of the roughly 60 French citizens living in the area of Segou. They pounded the area around Diabaly with bombs all night from Monday, resuming again on Tuesday afternoon, said Ibrahim Toure, a man who irons laundry for a living and who spent the past two days cowering inside a mud-walled home.
"They bombed Diabaly. They bombed the town all night long. I am hiding inside a house," said Toure. "Everyone is afraid to go out."
During French President Hollande's stop in the United Arab Emirates, he said "We are confident about the speed with which we will be able to stop the aggressors, the enemy, these terrorists."
The Islamists taunted the French, saying that they have vastly exaggerated their gains, and added that his fighters had seized "tonnes and tonnes" of weapons at the Diabaly military camp. He claimed they killed many of the soldiers there. The survivors ran away on foot, a claim that was confirmed by a security official in Bamako, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
"I would advise France not to sing their victory song too quickly. They managed to leave Afghanistan. They will never leave Mali," said Oumar Ould Hamaha, a commander of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, one of the extremist groups controlling northern Mali, whose fighters are believed to be in Diabaly.
"It's to our advantage that they send in French troops on foot," Hamaha said. "We are waiting for them. And what they should know is that every French soldier that comes into our territory should make sure to prepare his will beforehand, because he will not leave alive."

[UPDATED with Results:] Costa Mesa Locks in Another Mystery Stop for DUI Checkpoint Tonight
Categories: Main
The driver was not only cited for allowing an open container in the vehicle, but a passenger was cited and also arrested for having an outstanding DUI warrant.
The final stats from Wednesday night's operation follow after the jump . . .
1,381 vehicles through the checkpoint.
713 vehicles screened.
5 drivers given field sobriety tests.
1 DUI suspect arrested.
2 warrants served.
30 driver license investigations.
18 citations issued.
10 vehicles towed.
|His car keys are at the bottom of the cup.
Another thing the sneaky coppers are doing--at least before the layoff notices roll in--is holding the sobriety sweeps on random nights, to go along with those held during weekends of historically heavy saucing.
Take, for instance, tonight.
Yup, the force has announced they'll be stopping drivers in search of the drunk and unlicensed somewhere in Costa Mesa from 6 tonight to midnight.
The town's traffic division warns that summer months are the most dangerous on local roads when it comes to alcohol-involved collisions, a trend that is also played out statewide. Besides removing some of the menace, the operations are intended to enlighten everyone else about the dangers of drinking and driving.
The stop is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Such funds will also be used during the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends, when Costa Mesa cops vow to participate in local and countywide enforcement efforts aimed at taking drunks off roads.

Federal Communications Commission
Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In the Matter of
Fox Sports Net Ohio, LLC
Massillon Cable TV, Inc.
Adopted: January 30, 2013
Released: January 30, 2013By the Chief, Media Bureau:
On November 18, 2010, the Media Bureau ("Bureau") issued an Order on Review
granting a Petition for De Novo Review filed by Fox Sports Net Ohio, LLC ("FSN-Ohio") pertaining to
an award issued by an independent arbitrator pursuant to a condition in the News/Hughes Order.1 The
Petition stemmed from a dispute over the terms and conditions for carriage of certain regional sports
network ("RSN") programming by Massillon Cable TV, Inc. ("Massillon"), an Ohio cable operator. In
the Order on Review, the Bureau vacated the arbitration award in its entirety, concluding that the
arbitration condition established in the News/Hughes Order does not permit the arbitration of disputes
regarding the terms and conditions of ongoing carriage agreements.2 On December 17, 2010, Massillon
filed an Application for Review of the Bureau's Order on Review.3 On May 16, 2011, Massillon
submitted a request to withdraw and dismiss with prejudice its Application for Review.4 Massillon states
that it has entered into a settlement agreement with FSN-Ohio.5 In view of this settlement, we grant
Massillon's request to withdraw and dismiss with prejudice its Application for Review.
We take this opportunity, however, to admonish Massillon for its failure to comply with
the Bureau's Order on Review.6 Non-hearing actions taken pursuant to delegated authority, including the
Bureau's Order on Review, are effective upon release, unless otherwise ordered by the designated

its violation rather than pursuing alternative enforcement action.

DA 13-121authority.7 The Bureau's Order on Review required Massillon to pay FSN-Ohio certain sums within 30
days of the effective date of the Order on Review (i.e., by December 20, 2010).8 In its Opposition to
Massillon's Application for Review, FSN-Ohio provided a declaration from the Director of Business and
Legal Affairs for Fox Cable Networks Group dated January 13, 2011 stating that (i) he sent Massillon's
President a letter on December 9, 2010 detailing the amount Massillon owed Fox as a result of the
Bureau's Order on Review; and (ii) despite not disputing this amount, Massillon did not pay any portion
of that amount to FSN-Ohio.9
Massillon does not dispute these statements.10 Rather, Massillon claims that the filing of
its Application for Review automatically stayed the requirements of the Bureau's Order on Review
pursuant to Section 1.102(a) of the Commission's rules.11 We reject this claim. The automatic stay
provision in Section 1.102(a) applies when an Application for Review is filed of a "final decision of a
commissioner, or panel of commissioners following review of an initial decision."12 This rule applies to
hearing matters conducted pursuant to Part 1, Subpart B of the Commission's rules.13 Massillon offers no
basis for its apparent position that an arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to the conditions in the
News/Hughes Order is a hearing proceeding conducted pursuant to Part 1, Subpart B of the
Commission's rules. In fact, the News/Hughes Order conditions clearly state that an arbitration
proceeding will be conducted pursuant to the rules of the AAA, not the Commission's hearing rules.14
Moreover, an arbitration proceeding under the News/Hughes Order conditions is conducted by an
arbitrator appointed by the AAA;15 in hearings conducted pursuant to Part 1, Subpart B of the
Commission's rules, the presiding officer is either an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission, or one
or more commissioners.16
7 See 47 C.F.R. 1.102(b)(1).
8 See Order on Review, 25 FCC Rcd at 16059, 8 and 16062, 15. Specifically, Massillon was required to
reimburse FSN-Ohio for the following costs and fees paid to Massillon in satisfaction of the arbitrator's award: (i)
any excess affiliation fees, including interest, paid by FSN-Ohio; (ii) Massillon's legal costs as of the date of the
award; and (iii) Massillon's economic consultant costs as of the date of the award, including the costs of expert
testimony at the hearings. See id. In addition, Massillon was required to reimburse FSN-Ohio for the amount
representing Massillon's portion of the administrative fees of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") that
FSN-Ohio was compelled to pay under the award. See id.

16 See 47 U.S.C. 1.241(a).

Rather, review of an arbitration award under the News/Hughes Order conditions is a non-
hearing matter governed by Section 1.102(b) of the Commission's rules.17 This rule provides that, upon
the filing of an Application for Review of a non-hearing action on delegated authority, the Commission
"may in its discretion" stay the effect of an action pending its review.18 Massillon, however, never sought
a stay of the Bureau's Order on Review nor did the Commission stay the Bureau's Order on Review on its
own motion. Accordingly, we admonish Massillon for failing to comply with the requirements stated in
the Bureau's Order on Review.
IT IS ORDEREDthat Massillon's request to withdraw and dismiss with
prejudice its Application for Review
IS GRANTEDand that Massillon's Application for Review
This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated by Section 0.283 of the
Commission's rules.19

The Ultimate Sports Bar & Billiards in Warren has 15 pool tables and holds a weekly tournament on Wednesdays.
- Filed Under
The Ultimate Sports Bar & Billiards defies all the pool-hall stereotypes. The 10,000-square-foot Warren bar is devoid of dimly lit corners and unsavory characters. Instead, neon lights hang above 15 pool tables, and a well-lighted bar and large televisions illuminate the space owned by 38-year-old Tony Thomas.
The Ultimate Sports Bar, tucked away in a shopping plaza on Dequindre, was called Plush Pockets for 15 years before Thomas bought the building two years ago. For the first year, he operated under the Plush Pockets name. This year, "we made it a sports bar," Thomas says. "We converted it. Pool doesn't seem to be quite the attraction it used to be."
So he changed the name, took out some of the pool tables and added some big-screen TVs.
"I like what he's done," says David Hanshaw of Lake Orion, who has been playing pool at the establishment for years. "It's a beautiful pool room. I don't know if it's the economy, but pool rooms have been having a really tough time."
Gear: Imagine you're playing pool at your best friend's house, then kicking back afterward with a beer to watch a game on TV. Now picture what you'd wear. As long as your imaginary outfit includes shoes and a shirt, you're pretty much safe to wear it at the Ultimate Sports Bar. Thomas has just one fashion rule: No do-rags.
Mood: A dark, industrial ceiling gives the large space a slight warehouse feel. High-top tables and vinyl-covered chairs surround the carpeted pool area, and a bar lines one wall. If you're not interested in playing or watching pool, the Ultimate Sports Bar offers a semi-secluded area for relaxing. It covers 1,500 square feet and comes with tables.
"It's a laid-back, fun, friendly atmosphere," Thomas says.
Marty Sawinski, 44, who has been playing pool at the bar for more than a decade, says the players it draws "are the best in southern Michigan." The Whitmore Lake resident says he tries to stop by once a week.
Pick me up: There are 50 Michigan beers available in bottle and draft ranging from $4.25 for a pint glass to $6.25 for a 26-ounce mug to $9-$13.50 for pitchers. Mixed drinks are $4-$8. The food menu is standard: steaks, nachos, soups, salads and burgers.
Entertainment: In addition to the 15 pool tables, the Ultimate Sports Bar has Golden Tee machines (arcade games inspired by golf) and darts. There are four HD projectors and 30 plasma TVs. A white sheet creates a 10-foot television screen on the windows overlooking the parking lot.
Pool tables are $5 per table per hour, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. After 5 p.m., it's $6.75 per hour Monday-Thursday and $8.75 Friday-Saturday. There are no reservations and tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No professional players are allowed to participate in the bar's Wednesday-night tournaments. Thursday nights are 9-ball open.
The bar is showing Ultimate Fighting Championship events in November, December and January.
28202 Dequindre, Warren
11 a.m.-2 a.m. weekdays, noon-2 a.m. Sat.
21 and up after 9 p.m.

LJ advances to final in BeninComment on this story
Johannesburg – South African Olympic Games medal hopeful LJ van Zyl advanced to the final of the men's 400m hurdles on the second day of the African Athletics Championships in Cotonou, Benin, on Thursday.
Van Zyl returned back to action from an injury forced break from the track with a pedestrian time of 51.87 seconds.
The 26-year-old Van Zyl has been struggling with his form this season and his performances so far have been in stark contrast to last year.
His best time this season was an Olympic qualifying time of 49.42sec he ran at an inter-provincial meeting in April.
The South African record holder clocked the four fastest times in the world in the 400m hurdles last year, setting a new national record of 47.66sec at the beginning of 2011.
With Van Zyl reaching the final he is still on track to win his fourth consecutive African title, a feat no other athlete has achieved before.
Meanwhile, double amputee Oscar Pistorius and Willie de Beer qualified for the men's 400 metres final in their respective semi-finals.
De Beer finished second in the first semi-final in a time of 46.33 seconds while Pistorius clocked 46.14sec to book his place for the final.
The final will be Pistorius' last chance to realise his dream of competing at next month's London Olympic Games in the men's one-lap sprint.
Pistorius must set the standard of 45.30 one more time to satisfy South Africa's stringent qualifying criteria after he had met the qualifying standard in Pretoria for the first time in March with a time of 45.20.
He has since struggled to dip below the qualifying time on the European circuit in recent months.– Sapa

nĀLEON COUNTY
Man charged with rapes has trial postponed again
The trial of the 26-year-old man charged with the rapes in Killearn Acres and on Delaney Drive is temporarily postponed again. Jake Butler, is set to attend a mental health hearing Dec. 15, after Butler's defense attorney, Leonard Holton, ordered a competency evaluation for him Nov. 17, according to the Leon County judicial database. Butler's trial, originally scheduled for June, had been rescheduled for Nov. 1. Butler is charged with seven counts of sexual battery, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of burglary. A probable-cause affidavit filed by the Leon County Sheriff's Office said that Butler raped a 17-year-old girl after breaking into her Killearn Acres home in April. A rape on Delaney Drive in May was also linked to Butler by DNA evidence and positive identification from the victim.
Taxi driver dies after crash into house: A taxi driver died after crashing his cab into a South Florida home. Hollywood police say the home was unoccupied early Friday morning when the Friendly Checker taxi driver went through a wood fence and into a bedroom. The driver, whose name was not immediately released, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died. The home's owner says a last-minute decision to spend the night at a relative's house likely prevented his teenage son, who usually sleeps in the bedroom, from being injured. Authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine why the driver, who was described as being in his 20s, lost control of his taxi.
Boy attacked by dog: A 3-year-old boy was hospitalized in Florida's Gulf coast area after he was attacked by a stray dog. The boy was bitten on his head and stomach Thursday, but his injuries are not life-threatening. Authorities say the boy and two half-sisters were playing in the backyard of their grandparents' Manatee County home and the dog came in and attacked him. The boy's uncle saw the attack and rescued the boy.
2 killed in Clearwater crash: Two people were killed when a semitrailer crashed into their car in Clearwater. The Florida Highway Patrol reports that the car was making a left turn Friday morning when an oncoming truck ran into the passenger side of the vehicle. The passenger died immediately. The driver was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The names of the two victims weren't immediately released. FHP did not say which driver was to blame for the crash.
nĀST. PETERSBURG
Gulf coast deputy shoots, wounds man: Authorities say a Gulf coast area deputy shot and wounded the driver of a sports utility vehicle. Authorities say the Pinellas County sheriff's deputy fired more than one shot at the man Friday. The driver is reportedly in stable condition at a hospital. Authorities said the shooting occurred in connection with a traffic stop, but the details weren't immediately available. Authorities are investigating.
Convict killed during home invasion: Manatee County Sheriff's deputies say a 19-year-old convicted drug dealer was killed when he and another man broke into a home Thanksgiving morning. Officials Friday identified the dead man as Brooklenn Gargar of Palmetto. Detectives say Gargar and another suspect forced their way into a home and fought with Aaron Curry, who then shot and killed Gargar. The second intruder, who has not been identified, fled. Gargar was convicted in 2009 on drug charges. Corrections department records show he was sentenced to a year and nine days in prison but was released May 29 of this year. Detectives don't think this was a random incident.
nĀBOYNTON BEACH
Police say man had weapons at Walmart Black Friday: A Florida man has been arrested after allegedly carrying a gun while waiting in line for a Black Friday sale at a Boynton Beach Walmart. Police say Christopher D. Scott was arrested Friday shortly after midnight in a checkout line. A police log states he wore a Glock handgun at his hip, two concealed knives and a "pepper grenade." He also allegedly had prescription pills but no label or paperwork. Scott has been charged with three counts each of carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. At a court hearing, the 49-year-old man said he is a retired federal law enforcement officer. That information could not immediately be confirmed.

She's had no shortage of challenges as the North Cornwall Township manager, a post she has held since 1999.
The township has been a hotbed of business activity in recent years with North Cornwall Commons, the largest commercial development in Lebanon County history slated to break ground soon for the first phase of the project. And the population of the township has nearly doubled in population since she started 26 years ago as the secretary for the police department.
Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed.
Getz is the first official from Lebanon County to receive the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors' President's Leadership Award.
The award was presented to her at the association's 91st annual Education Conference and Trade Show in Hershey in April. It is presented to a township supervisor and township administrator each year whose projects or programs have benefited the community.
Getz has challenged herself in her leadership role by tackling complicated projects that has met both praise and criticism. Pleasing everyone isn't always possible, but when she can, she said, it's one of the rewards of the job.
"You have to be able to accept that you can't make everyone happy all the time," she said.
PSATS represents 1,455 second-class townships, covers more than 95 percent of Pennsylvania's land mass and represents 5.5 million of its residents.
"I can't even begin to tell you how shocked I was," Getz said, noting she was serving as the sergeant-at-arms at the conference with 4,000 attendees. "I had to go up front on stage to accept the plaque, and it was just overwhelming, quite frankly."
Getz was nominated by North Cornwall supervisors' Chairman Kip Kelly, who noted Getz often works 50-60 hours a week.
"I think she is deserving," he said. "She is extremely dedicated to the township and has been a thread of consistency over the past 25 or 30 years. I think people probably - maybe they don't know exactly what she does and how much she does. I'm just so impressed with how much she cares about township. ... She is continuously seeking educational opportunities so she can grow and help the township grow as well."
Getz received the honor in recognition of her efforts in recent years, according to PSATS.
The Fredericksburg woman is considered one of Lebanon County's leading experts on state and federal stormwater requirements for municipalities and cofounded a countywide committee aimed at helped neighboring communities comply with regulations cost-effectively.
The projects she was noted for also include:
Additionally, Getz is a member of the PSATS Grassroots Lobbying Network and past chairwoman of its Land Use Planning and Growth Management Committee and is a member of the Lebanon County Clean Water Alliance, Lebanon Auxiliary Post 915, Neversink Fire Co., the Lebanon County Managers Association and the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.
The job of a township manager faces its own set of political, financial and public relations challenges, Getz explained.
"It's a government entity, so it can be very political," she said. "You have to try and deliver the services of what is expected and remember that your elected body is giving you the map of what they want and how they want things done, and it's up to me then to institute it."
Though the hours are long, Getz said, her dream would be to retire from her current position one day. She has other outside interests to keep her busy, including time with her husband of 39 years, Paul, and family as well as her involvement in church.
What is her advice to local government newcomers?
"I think the two things I tell people all the time - too many people in this business burn out because allow it to happen," she said. "If you go through life and this job and refuse to keep your mind open to learn, you're going to fail. If you refuse to listen, you will never succeed. It is constantly changing."
