Where are the cuts in Central administration. I always see cuts in teachers and other aide personnel at MPS, but never and I mean never read about any cuts in Central Administration. I also never see the Journal ask why when cuts are made that MPS never downsizes central administration employees and those are the employees with the highest salaries in MPS.Hide replies
Mark, it does say in the article that 127 of the positions will be coming from Central Services, but chances are they are going to be admin positions. I wish the people of Milwaukee were aware of how top heavy the administration is at MPS - there are two layers of admin between principals and Thornton. Get rid of those people and it would probably save more than you can imagine because their salaries are high, plus their benefits. Sure, it would mean Thornton might have to work some more, but aren't we asking everyone in MPS to work harder and make some sacrifices for the kids?
cue the whining and gnashing of teeth by union slugs and the usual Walker bashers. MPS leadership loves the fact the union will be history in 2013
All these positions can be saved and more can be restored if somebody contributed to their own pension.Hide replies
And I'm sure you walked into your bosses office this morning and offered to take a pay cut so he/she could hire more people.
Pretty sure most of us in the private sector already did this to avoid layoffs.
Wisconsin is shedding jobs faster than kids who are only taught abstinence in sex ed are shedding their clothes! Thanks Scott Walker!
We need to get serious. MPS and all school systems spend too much. Why? Escalating health costs. They are by far the biggest growing cost.
You can play musical chairs with health plans all you want, but the savings compared to growth costs, are small.
We need a Canadian system. They pay a whopping 50% less PER PERSON than we do and live 3 yrs longer. Until we go that route there will be one perpetual crisis after another...
H----will freeze over before the teachers lower themselves to that.
Pay cut, stop using that word. It's not a pay cut. You are getting your pension back when you retire aren't you. Boo hoo you finally have to pay for your retirement like the rest of us.
Mao --- Teachers already pay for their own pension, 100%. It's called deferred compensation by accountants. Ask one if you don't believe me, because every enterprise with employees puts the pension and healthcare costs in the compensation part of the ledger.
Asking teachers or anyone else for that matter to pay more amounts to a pay cut, which is another issue entirely.
If you want teachers to earn less, just say so. And if it's such a cushy job, why aren't you doing it?
This just cracks me up that some people are still giving thumbs down to this initial comment. Its not a yes or no question, applying ACT 10 to MPS WILL save positions!! Schools who didn't implement ACT 10 are layer teachers off, those who did are not laying teachers off. That's the facts.
Schilt22 -- our district would not negotiate with our teachers last year so DID implement Act 10. While we did not have to lay off teachers, we had 10% retire and a number simply left. Most of those positions were not filled. I know that's not a layoff, but the district lost positions just the same. For next year it looks a if we may end up laying off a couple of positions, and class sizes will increase. Act 10 IS NOT working!
And the assault on public education continues.
Walker cuts $1 billion from education across the state and he ain't done yet, unless... vote May 8 and June 5.Hide replies
Boo hoo many teachers in mps are getting a 5.5% raise. That is far more than most people in the private sector have gotten over the least several years. In fact many people have taken pay decreases. The economy is rough, Teachers should not be amune from smaller pay increases during a recession. I feel very greatful where I work that we were still able to get 2% raises down from the 4-5% we were getting pre-recession.
Apparently you do not read the story only the headlines. Most of the 400 are due to retirement, etc., there will not be that many layoffs. They also said the reduction is tied to enrollment changes. On top of that they are giving the teachers a 5% raise. What are you complaining about?
Teachers made their own bed---let them sleep in it. And YES---we will vote and elect Walker once more.
Vote to keep Walker in office
Yes, the Teacher's Union assault on education continues. Governor Walker put into action plans that would finally make education about teaching kids instead of making unions money. Unfortunately for the kids of MPS the union bought and paid for school board decided it would take one last stab and screwing the kids and paying the union. The Governor even worked to give them another chance to do the right thing by the kids, and they still refused. The teachers and their unions have proved over and over again during this fight it has never been about teaching the children, it is all about the money going into their pocket. They are the 1%
Teachers are the 1%??????
You have indeed lost your mind. I would prefer to see money spent on teacher wages/benefits than on the obscene packages given to all those CEO "job creators" who do nothing but send jobs out of the country to do their "creating" elsewhere. But, their stockholders are happy!
broketaxpayer --- I guess then that we should all agree that school districts in this state should only use teachers that are both independently wealthy and altruistic. I guess that it's time that get rid of any public employee that actually needs to work and earn a living.
The union blew off a request to modify benefits. What did you expect?
I bet they wish they hadn't signed those union contracts before Walker's tools and ACT 10 kicked in. Way to go Milwaukee!Hide replies
Who is "they"? The teachers are laughing all the way to the designer clothes mall.
Here are some key dates regarding MPS and Act 10:
The terms of the current contract for teachers (which include health care contributions beginning in 2011-12) were laid out in September 2010, prior to the gubernatorial election.
The contract was ratified by the union and later approved by the Board in early December 2010, prior to the governor taking office.
Then Gov.-elect Walker talked about sharp curbs to collective bargaining later in December, AFTER the contract approval ( http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/111463779.html). This timeline was affirmed by PolitiFact Wisconsin ( http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2011/feb/22/scott-walker/wisconsin-gov-scott-walker-says-he-campaigned-his-/).
The legislation that became Act 10 was introduced in February 2011
Is this what you get paid to do at MPS, tony? Tough job. That's why the budget is so out of whack, hack.
MPS decided to extend its contract with the public union in order to avoid Act 10. Do the teachers really care about the kids or is it the money? Public union members voted down a plan that would allowed them to contribute a weeks pay to help kids by reducing class size.
Before Act 10 became law and the Dems leaving their jobs to go to another state, the public union said contributions to health-care and pensions didn't have to be forced upon them, they would be willing to make concessions in that area. Really? The majority of these union members only care about the money!Hide replies
Scott Walker leaves his job for another state almost on a daily basis, what's your point?
You are totally right. Watch how this is spinned by the teachers' union. This same exact scenario will be repeated in Kenosha. Want negotiations reopened and then will cry NO NO NO to any sort of compromise. It's NEVER about the KIDS.

Tony knows how to cut and paste. Ohhhhh...I'm impressed.
Mike --- We could easily settle this problem at MPS if every working adult living within the MPS boundaries donates one week of pay.
As you seemingly believe that the teachers should do it, you go first.
"The average teacher salary will increase from $59,500 this year to $62,800 next year."
That works out to a 5.55% raise.
Pretty sweet, considering most of the people paying for this raise got a much smaller raise themselves. This is why it's hard for many of us non-teachers to be empathetic to the financial aspects of being an MPS teacher.Hide replies
We also pay a larger portion of our health insurance premiums and fund our own retirement.
attc: So does everybody else.
Yet you'll hear them cryng the blues when it's reported their classes are 35-40. What's never mentioned is the truancy rate is 50%.
Good point, Lulu.
Not public employees until ACT 10. The private employees used to pay for their own retirement and public employee lavished pensions!
bobby & lulu- what a pair!
Mystery lady.....eat your heart out.
Clearly some of you folks think that being a public school teacher in an urban school district is a cushy job. Feel free to apply for a job.
Ha with your benefits I would love too!! If you aren't happy with doing it and getting cushy benefits try to find a job in the private sector. Feel free to apply too one!!!!
In tough times, MPS was asked to consider the interest of the taxpayers for the very first time. They chose not to and are now paying the price.
No sympathy for MPS. Better luck next time.
I actually thought this would be worse, plus the vacancies will probably exceed the number of slated cuts. Maybe reducing actual cuts to the decrease in enrollment.
Not that ALL was done to help the kids in one of the worst districts in the country. Teachers voted to take that raise rather than help to keep more staff. Kudos to those who had the foresight to make that offer.
Just think what good might have come to the children if that measure would have passed.

Respond to Review of Govinda I
by juniorcm
Review: If you want to find bad mood in Budapest, here's the place! I just asked the attendant "what dishes didn't carry pepper" and she didn't know. Then, she began to treat me like if i was asking here to borrow me 10.000 euros. I ended eating a small portion of rice and a poori, which was tasteless. Later, i asked her a knife (they just gave me a fork!), and the bad mood showed up again. Also, i went there on a sunny 36C day, and the place was hot as a branch of hell.

McLouth softball improves to 5-0
April 10, 2009
Before storms stopped a doubleheader short, the McLouth High softball team was able to add one more win to its season total on Thursday.
The Bulldogs beat Pleasant Ridge, 14-3, in five innings to improve to 5-0.
The visitors scored all three of their runs in the first inning, when Lezley Lawson walked the first two PRHS batters and the third one got under a pitch that appeared to be a routine pop-up. But high winds blowing straight out of the park carried the fly over the fence, giving Pleasant Ridge a temporary 3-0 lead.
That didn't last, though, as MHS cruised to victory.
Senior Kendall Patterson went 4-for-5 in the win with three doubles, Lawson belted a three-run homer and Kaley Patterson was 3-for-4. Missy Rome also had a good day at the plate and had a triple.
MHS led, 2-1, in the second game when it was called off in the second inning. The game will be played at a later date.
Patterson chasing history
Kendall Patterson, who has started all four years at McLouth and signed to play softball at Kansas University, is currently just 13 hits shy of the state record for hits, 147.
With 10 hits so far on the young season, surpassing the record is more than probable for the senior MHS catcher.
Patterson had 35 hits her freshman year, 42 as a sophomore and 47 as a junior.
She will continue working toward the record on Tuesday when McLouth travels to Silver Lake.

The Tweet Campaign vs. the Real Campaign
Forget Twitter. Obama and Romney are debating policies and ideas—if you are willing to look.
Every few months, pollsters Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell write a column that combines the conventional wisdom of the moment with the thudding prose of a Cliff Bar nutrition panel. "The Missing Campaign Policy Debate," which went live at Politico on Monday, hasn't generated the same buzz as "The Hillary Moment." But both columns made the same banal point. We're getting a "divisive" campaign, not a serious campaign. Woe, woe is the Republic.
"There is little talk of the need to rein in entitlements, balance the budget and reduce the debt and deficit," wailed the pundits. After Obama issued an executive order that de-emphasized deportations of younger undocumented immigrants, he gave a speech "without putting forth any broad set of policies to deal with immigration reform."
Watch out for phrases like "little talk." Who defines what's a "little talk" in a presidential campaign? Columnists, that's who! Schoen and Caddell, like Tom Friedman, make a strange strategic choice to follow the arc of a campaign without burrowing into the candidates' plans. That's not new, exactly. Matt Taibbi, who has been mocking Friedman's glibness for half a decade, wrote last month that Friedman's "analysis is to bloggers now what dick jokes are to standup comics."
What is new is a sense, among reporters, that the scolds are right. Also in Politico a couple of weeks ago, Maggie Haberman and Alexander Burns argued that 2012 is the "smallest" campaign in memory. "The Obama and Romney campaigns spend all day strafing each other on Twitter," they wrote, "all while decrying the campaign's lack of serious ideas for a serious time." My colleague John Dickerson, who's covering his fifth presidential campaign, stacks Mitt Romney's available policy plans against George W. Bush's plans. The second stack is taller.
But the evidence of a stupid campaign is not prima facie evidence that the entire campaign is stupid. Here's a useful way of looking at 2012. There is a Twitter Track of election news, a mardi gras of gaffes and Web ads and verbal flubs. Headlines on the Twitter Track usually involve phrases like "fires back at," or "unloads on." And then there is a Reality Track of election news, about the policies that the next president and Congress will probably enact. These headlines usually have numbers in them, so—look, no offense—you might have missed a few.
(Side note: Politico's Burns, who tweets at @aburnspolitico, has turned the shaming of lazy campaign journalism into a low-paying side gig. "Here's a headline for all your future Joe Walsh stories," he wrote, after the Republican congressman made his umpteenth cheeky comment about his opponent's military service. " 'Marginal congressman with virtually no path to reelection says something off-key.' ")
The Twitter Track is constantly humming and distracting, and the campaigns keep it that way. The Romney campaign does this literally, with faux accounts that take advantage of the latest micro-story, or by piloting a campaign bus around Obama events for no purpose other than buzz-feeding. We have lived through weeks where Twitter Track stories led the news for cycle after cycle.
By nature, the Twitter Track story is meaningless, frothy, and forgettable. Look back to the "Mommy War" that broke out after the GOP decided to pretend that Hilary Rosen, a former top recording industry lobbyist and frequent White House visitor, was speaking for the Obama campaign when she was dismissive of Ann Romney. (You can still buy "MOMS Drive the Economy" bumper stickers from the Romney campaign.)

A hidden gem — Hensley Lake
I discovered a hidden gem — or should I say 'hidden gym'? — of a trail last weekend at Hensley Lake in Raymond.
(As of early 2013,) Farin Montanez is a 25-year-old mom of two who started running — after a decade-long hiatus — in November. "Mind over miles" chronicles her training for the Santa Rosa Marathon. She can be reached at farin at maderatribune.net. Follow her on Instagram at mind_over_miles.
I discovered a hidden gem — or should I say 'hidden gym'? — of a trail last weekend at Hensley Lake in Raymond.
My resolution this year was to get six-pack abs.
When terrorists bombed the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April 2013, I set a goal to run a marathon in a Boston Qualifying (BQ) time to be able to enter the prestigious race.
I am so excited to see plenty of local runners trying out the trail for the first time. The San Joaquin River Trail is so close. It's a shame more people don't run, bike or hike it.
Looking back on my previous columns, I realized I went on my first ever trail run exactly a year ago.
Running isn't a seasonal sport.
Have you ever stuffed a suitcase full of "just in case" items only to find at trip's end you've used only 10 percent of what you packed?

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
By Bus:You fly into Comalapa Airport, the biggest airport in Central America, which is located 45 minutes by highway from the city. Once you've arrived and do customs. Get out and cross the big parking lot. Then go through an open building to reach the road. There is a bus-stop. You can either take route 138 or 400. Do not bring a lot of luggage or large backpacks, though, the mini bus gets very crowded no luggage racks!!!!
The bus will take you from the airport into downtown, San Salvador for 0,70USD. It is slower than the shuttles and can take up to an hour to get into town. After you get down in downtown you have to take bus routes, either 42A or 27; though it seems that route 27 takes a little longer to get to the hostel...Once you get into this bus ask the driver or the guy who charges to let you know when you are in la UCA which is one of the most important universities in the city and there you'll get down and walk until you find a small garden called Capri Plaza. We are right next to it. It's a white house two levels. We only have a small frog sign infront of the house.
By Car: It will take you approximately 45 minutes to get to the city.
First you head east for around 750 mts. and turn right at RN5S and stay there for 27km, you will turn sharp right to stay on RN5S for 11.3km and will continue on right onRN5Sfor another 200 m. then you will give a sharp right at Bulevar Los Proceres/RN5S for 270m and will keep left at the fork and slight left at Carretera Panamericana, turn left at Calle del Mediterraneo and look for the Campus of la UCA ( Universidad Simeon Caas), once there look for a small public garden called 'plaza capri' and we are right next to it.

This Iconic Coffee Maker Just Got A Super Stylish Facelift
The Moka Pot is one of the most time-honoured — yet often misunderstood — ways to make coffee. It's also one of the most recognisable kitchen gadgets, thanks to the ubiquitous Italian design left largely unchanged since 1933. A new collaboration between Blue Bottle Coffee and designer Joey Roth revamps the Moka Pot with a brand-new and pretty-dang-beautiful design.
The Perfect Turkey Timer
I love stupid single-purpose kitchen gadgets. Inserted into a turkey or chicken, this timer's legs pop up like a boner when the inside reaches 73 degrees—not 82, like most—for perfectly roasted bird. It's $US13. [NYT, Image: Tony Cenicola/NYT]

The strongest El Niño in 50 years has been predicated for this winter. The deputy director of the NOAA (National Oceania and Atmospheric Administration) Climate Prediction Center, Mike Halpert, has reported "this could be among the strongest El Niños in the historical record dating back to 1950."
Experiencing an El Niño this winter is awesome news for skiers and snowboarders as this could mean we receive much more snow than an average winter... and more snow means more powder days!
Breckenridge, USA
Every 2–7 years an area of the tropical regions in the Pacific Ocean warms up and distorts the weather patterns in the western Ocean, including Australia, North and South America and even parts of Europe and Africa, this is called El Niño.
The National Oceania and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) recent report predicts the El Niño will persist through winter before settling down in spring. There have already been signs of the start of El Niño this summer, such as the record number of storms during the central Pacific hurricane season.
The 2 strongest previous events were in 1982-83 and 1997-98, in 1997-98 there was powder day after powder day and amazing conditions across the Alps. Now the World Meteorological Organisation is predicting that this phenomenon could be one of the strongest on record. "At the moment, this year's El Niño is stronger than it was at this time of year in 1997" - Bill Patzert (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory climatologist) It's had been reported that the start of winter in December and January will be quite mild, then in February we will see a change to a colder winter that will most likely feature several storms and significant snow.
Heavenly, USA
California - Resorts could receive between 30-40% more precipitation. This could mean great things for ski holidays in Heavenly, Northstar, Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. Colorado – After a wetter than usual spring, the trend should continue through the winter to create a much more seasonable winter than last year. Vail Resorts are optimistic for a fantastic winter in their resorts, including Park City, Vail, Breckenridge and Beaver Creek. An El Niño often means that Europe is prone to heavy rain and storms and a colder than average winter.

The Tirol region in Austria is one of the most exciting places to be this winter. With the rise in UK arrivals in the area last season there have been lots of new and improved innovations in Tirol over this summer. From new linked ski areas, to enhanced lift infrastructure and new accommodations, there has never been a better time to visit Austrian Tirol. Find out more about what's new for the Austrian Tirol this season.
Here are the top 5 ski resorts that will be well worth the visit this season:
After years of talk about linking up with Saalbach, this will finally be a reality from December 2015. This area will become the talk of Austria as huge possibilities will open up. The new, high speed Tirol S gondola will link Fieberbrunn in Tirol with Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang in Salzburgerland. This new connection will join up 270km of piste and will become the largest interconnected ski area and most varied in Austria.

Sölden will be the talk of the town when it hits the silver screen this winter in the James Bond film, Spectre. Anything good enough for 007 will be popular amongst fans and will be the place to be this season. Sölden is an Alpine Ski World Cup venue and one of the most famous ski areas in the world. The state of the art lift system teamed with the 145km of perfect pistes makes this resort a dazzling diamond in Tirol. The 3 mountain peaks over 3000m and 2 glacier ski areas makes the resort one of the most snow-sure in Austria. Powder hounds will bask in the freeride ski and snowboard area at the Gaislachkogl peak. If you heading over this way this winter, don't forget to ski down the 15km route from Schwarze Schneide at Rettenbach Glacier.

Mayrhofen is popular among Britons because it is a great all-round resort for both skiers and snowboarders. This season Mayrhofen will be unveiling the new and improved Penkenbahn which is now a state of the art 3S gondola. This will dramatically reduce the lift queues and waiting times getting up the mountain. Mayrhofen and the Ziller Vally resorts (which are linked by easy bus and train links) have a hugely varied circus of pistes which cater for all levels, including high glacier runs, expert parks, pretty tree lined runs and leisurely slopes. The après is up there with the best of Austria; from on-mountain après at the igloo White lounge to dancing on the tables at Brück'n Stadl to late night partying at Harakiri. With brilliant skiing, fun après, large town with plenty of shops and restaurants, plus easy transport links to explore the surrounding areas it's no surprise that thousands of Brits head here.

The charming fairytale town, large ski area and friendly Austrian atmosphere keep skiers and snowboarders coming back year after year. Kitzbuhel is the text book example of Austrian skiing and offers everything you would want for a ski holiday in Tirol. In the recent Ski Club of Great Britain consumer research report, Kitzbuhel had the biggest jump in the Top 10 ski resorts, jumping up an incredible 36 ranks to spot number 8 confirming its popularity over last season. The home of the prestigious Hahnenkamm ski race offers 170km of varied ski slopes across the large mountain range. From the mix of blues and red runs on the home mountain, to the fun freeride areas around the 3S and Jochberg to the wide blues at Pass Thurn and the beginner slopes at the Kitzbuheler Horn, there is something for everyone.

For years I've had a fascination about visiting Norway. When I'm not dreaming of soaring mountains or powder fields, I'm thinking about majestic fjords, the northern lights and road trips down the Norwegian coastline. While I make plans for a longer Scandinavian adventure, I decided to end off summer with an impulse city break to Norway's capital, Oslo. After a 2 hour flight from London and a 45 minute train from the airport to the city centre we were in the extraordinary city. What strikes you first is the fascinating combination of modern architecture with stunning natural wonders. The south of the city is overthrown by the glorious Olso Fjord scenery, and then the east and west are covered in rolling hills of forests. During our 2 nights in the city we squeezed in as many of the top attractions as we could including Ekeberg Park (Ekebergparken), the Oslo opera house (Den Norske Opera and Ballett), the Royal Palace, Vigeland Park (Vigelandsparken) and a Fjord sightseeing cruise.
Cross country skiing dates back thousands of years ago in northern Scandinavia where skis were used as transportation across the snowy landscape. Norway's rich history is closely linked to skiing, and many 'ski firsts' happened in Norway, so it's no wonder that the national landmark is a ski jump.
As our weekend adventure came to close, we saved the best attraction until last. Luckily my friend Andrea is a keen skier so there were no objections when I brought up the idea of visiting the famous Oslo ski jump.
From the city centre you can see the huge structure up on the hill and it is super easy to get to. Catch the number '1' Metro (T-Bane) to Holmenkollen, we got on at the National Theatre and the journey took about 25mins. Once off the metro it is a fairly strenuous uphill walk to the ski jump, just follow the signposts that lead the way up the hill and you'll see the jump after the 10 minute walk.
You can actually walk around the stadium and about the third of the way up the jump for free, but for the full experience and access to the views and ski museum you need to pay the entrance fee of 120NOK (approx £9.50). At the first floor you can experience the top of the ski jump and view of the 60m-high drop from a skier's perspective. The Holmenkollen ski jump is the most modern ski jump in the world. The arena has changed considerably over the years but the standing structure was opened in 2010. This new design features world class engineering, permanent wind protection, improved snow making and more.
I can't describe how big and steep the slope looks from the top, and the photos don't quite do it enough justice either. I can't believe people ski off of this!
On the second floor viewing platform there are breathtaking 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape. The mixture of scenery is just phenomenal; from the sunshine glistening off the fjord, to the acres of forest, the alpine cottages and the contemporary harbour buildings. The photos can do the talking...
The museum is so much more than just a bunch of old skis on display (which is what I expected!). It opened in 1923 and is the oldest ski museum in the world. You can discover more than 4000 years of ski history here at Homenkollen, from ancient rock carvings through to the latest ski technology.
The ski jump and arena have been rebuilt many times, these are a few models depicting the changes
Collections include the development of skis through the ages, early ski clothing, Norwegian polar exploration artefacts, snowboarding history and modern day snowsports. One of the most interesting objects on display are the first ever skis used by man.
I don't want to give too much away as I hope you will experience the surprise and joy that I did discovering this marvellous place. Olso is a fantastic and stunning city, and the ski history running through the country's core will delight any skiers or snowboarders farther.
If you wanted to take a city break in Oslo to the next level, travel in winter and you can explore the ski areas near the city. From Voksenkollen (4 stops on the metro line after Holmenkollen) you can take the ski bus to Oslo Winterpark which has 18 slopes and 11 lifts. You can be from the centre of Oslo to the ski area in about 30 minutes... Is there anything this city doesn't have?

Program Description
gateway scholars program
The Gateway Scholars Program for STEM was established in 2012 to increase the diversity among our science degree graduates. This program is designed to support First Generation freshman and sophomores through the foundational courses in biology and chemistry that are required for many science related majors or programs. Gateway is funded by the Provost Office and jointly administered by the Learning to Learn Office and the Biology and Chemistry Departments. Students in the Gateway Scholars Program are connected to a faculty advisor in the Biology or Chemistry Department and enrolled in science classes that provide for one-on-one interactions with science faculty and teaching assistants.
The program provides for very early "tethering" of students to the science departments and faculty. At the completion of year two, we hope students are prepared to take the next step toward their professional development. This may be working in a faculty lab doing research or taking on an internship in a variety of science or clinical disciplines.

Cicadas, crickets and katydids can create quite a racket
You hear them everywhere: driving in your car with the top down, sitting outside on a warm, summer evening and falling asleep to their songs with your windows open. Who are they? Cicadas, crickets and katydids — the trio you hear separately or together at all hours — starting in spring and belting out a peak performance this time of year.
They're building strength for a fall assault
Bay Weekly readers are asking me where the stinkbugs are.
Stinkbugs may not have plagued you this summer, but I can assure you that they are building their population.
Where to find the charity of interspecies connections
Not every human is an animal lover. Slip Mahoney, the subject of one of this week's dog stories, drove quite a few people to the other side. But he also wiggled into quite a few hearts, even some outside his immediate family. One dog sitter called him Nurse Slip, crediting him with seeing her through an illness compounded by a broken heart.
Mark your calendar
Chew on these tales of bad behavior before you add a new member to your family
Through the beveled glass oval of the front door, I could see trouble. My friend and hair-stylist Kathy Burns' brother was not making a social call. His khaki uniform meant he had come on official business. Dogcatcher business.
The dog in question, Slip Mahoney, wasn't home. Wherever he was, he had stirred up enough commotion to bring out the dogcatcher.
Travel Maryland with your pets
You work all week and want to relax on the weekends — get away perhaps? The only thing keeping you on the leash at home is you can't bear to leave your furry friend behind.
Your problem is solved by Visit Maryland's new directory of Fido-friendly destinations. The list includes places throughout Maryland where both you and your pet are welcome to visit, stay or play.
Calvert County's feral cat sanctuary is home to many cats who would otherwise have been destroyed, yet there is not a scruffy one among them. All have beautiful thick coats in the winter, and I wondered how each cat would manage the transition to summer.
Turns out, nature provides fallen tree limbs. Branches and still-pliable twigs serve as stationary cat-combs.
Of course there are some who like it hot. In winter, Scruffy sits on a heat vent to warm his bottom. But in summer, Scruffy and Dewey leave the air-conditioned house and head for the warm and cozy garage. Dewey's spot is under the car or in front of the garage door, while Scruffy lounges on top of the car or in an old lawn chair. In the garage, the boys search for bugs, lizards and mice to play with and eat — and sometimes bring into the house.
Head to a new place, and the fishing gets better
It was in the middle of the week and we had our Norfolk spot for live lining caught by 7am. Jumping up on plane, we headed toward the Bay Bridge. It was already too late. The concrete supports where we had had such great luck a day earlier had two skiffs anchored at each, and our third and fourth choices were being eyeballed by a couple of approaching charter boats.
Cullen Hunter knows firsthand how to help the furry paws at Calvert Animal Welfare League
What ingredients does it take to make a valuable volunteer for cats waiting for their forever home?
Cullen Hunter, 19, and his grandfather Robert Sigona — both of Dunkirk — know firsthand how to help out the hundreds of furry paws at Calvert Animal Welfare League.

Lorne Gunter: Wal-Mart ruling trumps economic illiteracyPosted: November 27, 2009, 1:45 PM by NP Editor Lorne GunterTop court backs Wal-mart in union disputeOTTAWA -- Canada's top court has ruled in favour of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in a dispute over union organizing efforts at a store in Quebec.The case centred around a store that Wal-Mart opened in Jonquiere, Quebec, in 2001 and closed four years later after a union was certified to negotiate a collective agreement and Quebec's labour ministry said negotiations should go to arbitration. The ruling, from the Supreme Court of Canada, means Wal-Mart did not violate worker rights when it closed the store.National Post, Feb. 14, 2005: Not since Scottish-born socialist Joe Davidson headed up the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in the 1970s have I heard so much economically illiterate rhetoric about a labour dispute as has been generated by Wal-Mart's decision to shutter its unionized outlet at Jonquiere, in Quebec's Saguenay region. Mr. Davidson, once famously declared that if Canadians would not back his workers' demands for "justice," then "to hell with the public." It always seemed Mr. Davidson believed the post office existed not to deliver mail but to give his members high wages. As he saw it, even if there were no mail, Ottawa would still be obliged to operate its postal outlets and sorting plants. Wal-Mart's announcement this week has provoked the same kind of malarkey. Union leaders and leftist politicians have insisted Wal-Mart be forced to keep its Jonquiere outlet open unless it can prove its official claim that the store was closing because it's unprofitable. According to Michael Fraser, the national president of the Jonquiere workers' union, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), "Wal-Mart knew they were going to be forced into a situation where they would have to have a collective agreement. That is the only reason they closed the store." He also insists the Saguenay Wal-Mart had to be profitable because "the parking lot was full." This latter observation is neither solid evidence of profitability nor relevant. A store could be busy as can be and still be unprofitable if wages are too high, or the wholesale cost of the goods it retails rise unexpectedly, or it has to pay too much in rent, utilities or taxes. Still, I suspect Mr. Fraser is correct: The Wal-Mart outlet was profitable. The question then is: So what? No government or court can make a store or other business stay open against its wishes. By what authority? More importantly, by what mechanism could such an order be enforced? Does the UFCW, or the Quebec labour federation, or NDP MP Pat Martin, or any of Wal-Mart's other critics propose that a judge or human rights commissioner supersede the rights of Wal-Mart's shareholders and start forcing the company to run stores it doesn't want? Do those who have demanded Wal-Mart be forced to keep this store open presume to know Wal-Mart's best interests better than the company's millions of shareholders, or that they have more of a right to tell it how to spend its money? Wal-Mart is likely withdrawing from one rural Quebec store to send a message to its 1.6 million employees at its other 5,200 stores: Unionize and you're out of work. Wal-Mart's executives know this may open their company to a boycott. They understandhttp://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_W/threadview?m=te&bn=20003&tid=775524&mid=775524&tof=1&frt=1

Reviews for Guardians of Middle Earth
Middle of the pack.Kane987245 | Dec. 18, 2014 | See all Kane987245's reviews »
This is a middle of the pack type of MOBA. It plays like one but people will get the general feeling of, "This is a moba, but not really." It's okey, but that is all i can say about it. Everything just handles....ok. nothing spectacular or wows the player or any of that sort. If that is something you are fine with and like Moba like games, then play it.
It's a MOBA but...it's not a MOBADragosLoL | July 16, 2014 | See all DragosLoL's reviews »
Guardians of Middle Earth doesn't function like other MOBAs out there like DOTA, League of Legends, Smite, Dawngate, etc. But that's what kills it because it "doesn't" function like a MOBA. Whenever I choose a hero, it feels more like I could stand afk for the whole game and still make enough gold and experience as everyone else because there just isn't much individual progression as there should be. Plus, not everything's free in this game. If you're paying to buy a game and it's a MOBA, then you should expect to get most of the content for free. That's not the case, you're just paying to play the game. You'll have to grind out the in game money to buy your character and spend real cash to unlock skins. Graphically though, the game has it's perks and it's nice to see classic Lord of the Rings characters at your disposal. But it's just the gameplay aspect that kills the game. Maybe if you're Lord of the Rings fan and just want to play around with your favorite characters, then give this game a try. But if you're a experienced MOBA player, just stay away from this game.
It will end bad.Furrek | June 20, 2014 | See all Furrek's reviews »
Releasing a DOTA/League of Legends clone that need to be paid in order to play, and also with more characters in DLC form, is madness. Even if this is Lord of the Rings MOBA game, it's not worth any price. There is my future vision for this game: free to play + characters in DLC or less and less popularity with shut down. Sadly, Guardiand of Middle Earth can't offer anything new and fresh to MOBA fans. Sure, there are people who love Lord of the Rings (even I do) and some will enjoy this game, but if you have played already LoL or DOTA 2 you won't find much fun in this game. After few matches you will get bored and see that either you are playing with team with only half alive players (the rest will be bots) or you will be seeing same players over and over. Well, maybe this is because I'm new, but it doesn't change the fact that this game is much less popular than 2 biggest players in this genre. I can recommend this game only for really big Lord of the Rings fans or maybe for people who haven't played any MOBA games yet.
It's not by EA and it's a simple, fun and challengingMOBA......ghettotron | Oct. 24, 2013 | See all ghettotron's reviews »
First off, the game is very good and has alot of potential (as they have fixed some bugs) but the way they marketed the pricing is bad. My first impressions is that it is a mix of Demigod (upgrades to minions and towers) and LoL (preloadout items that you can store). I bought it on sale so hopefully this sale draws in a bigger community. The other good thing is that original console version was done by one of my favorite PC companies in the 90's, Monolith. Zombie Studios did a good job with the port and improved the UI a bit. I've been playing games on PC and console since the 80's. Strategy has always been my fave. RTS especially. I've played the first DotA since 2005. Since then so many iterations of MOBA style games have flooded the genre but yet only a few stood out; namely Demigod, HON, DotA and LoL. There are some other decent ones like Smite and Soltice Arena. I played the beta for the Infitine Crisis DC MOBA....it's good but it's not great. To be honest, GOME is better. And being an addict with over 5000+ game matches of MOBAs, I can say I highly recommend playing GOME. Now to the poor marketing. They initially charged $40 -$80 when almost all of the MOBAs out there are free or converted to free. I remember Demigod, HON and LoL initially charged $30- $40. I guess since it is a licensed game they're riding on the LOTR fan base and hoping to attract their sales that way. It's a shame because the game is solid and deserves a bigger community and, to me, that's the wrong way to attract players with a MOBA. MOBA games require a 10's and 100's of thousands players to be logged on to even get some kind of human matches without waiting a long time for a match.. It actually automatically adds bots to the match if not enough people join by about 3 mintues. Actually the bots in GOME are pretty good and do give some interesting challenges. Fortunately, those matches also count towards you bonuses and coins but not as much as you would playing with humans. MOBAs are always more enjoyable playing with humans. They also have a Survival mode where you have to defeat swarms of baddies. The sucky thing was that since there isn't a community yet, I played it with one hero and it was almost impossible to pass 2 phases with one guy. Overall, the game itself is very good. It captures the LOTR feel and it is fun and challenging (even with bots). I would give it a higher rating if it weren't for the initially poor pricing and marketing tactics. They should permanently reduce their price to the sale price. They are just limiting their potential. MOBA players buy stuff. They would make even more money with an exponential amount of players if they used the Free to Play game model.
Guardians of Middle Earth - reviewNeapolis47 | Sept. 10, 2013 | See all Neapolis47's reviews »
Guardians Of The Middle Earth has to face with giants of the genre such as Dota 2 and League of Legends. The title is structured as a classic MOBA and add some unique elements. For the few who still do not know what it is, it's match in which 10 players divided into 2 teams select a character (here called Guardian) to fight and groped to accompany creatures controlled by the AI towards the enemy base to destroy it, breaking down defensive towers that are located along the streets. In this structure already present in other moba, Guardians Of The Middle Earth adds the ability to enhance the defensive towers, as well as to increase the damage dealt to enemies or to allow the birth of creep much more powerful, like the classic troll. Last note about money management, at the heart of the other MOBA, here completely erased. Instead of a store where you can buy items, we will have free access to each of them (called runes) in the pre game, so be prepared to our liking the equipment of our guardian. We will, however, limited by a very long cooldown time to use these upgrades. In my view, if console players had little choice, propose on a PC this MOBA payment, with packages to buy new characters, when there are the DOTA 2 and LoL free-to-play inevitably leads to failure of the product.
A Lord of the Rings / DOTA CloneKoomazaz | Sept. 5, 2013 | See all Koomazaz's reviews »
This is your standard multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) type game, but with Lord of the Rings characters. Two teams of five opponents get to battle it out in Middle Earth, playing as famous characters from the books and movies. It is great that Monolith chose to bring this game, which was previously a console-exclusive, to PC. The graphics are somewhat mid-range and the gameplay gets really repetitive after a few rounds. Overall it's a decent title, but it may be worth it to wait for the bargain bin on this one.

With farmers' markets overflowing with a rainbow fiesta of fruits and veggies, it's a perfect time to consider pickling, an age old method of preserving summer's bounty.
Pickling is uncomplicated, time efficient and will nourish you deep into the winter months. And besides, who doesn't love a crisp, sour pickle?

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who is backing "Citylights", a remake of "Metro Manila", says Hansal Mehta's directorial venture should not be described as festival movie because it has all the elements of a commercial cinema.
" 'Citylights' is not a festival film. It's an Indian film, it has an Indian story, it has fragrance of our own people and it has songs in it. We have got amazing feedback so far. It's a very brave idea to make the film," Bhatt told reporters Monday at the unveiling of 26 minutes' footage of "Citylights".
Though it's a remake, Mehta said he has yet to see the British movie.
Mehta said: "It's an adaptation of 'Metro Manila', but myself, Rajkummar Rao, Patraalekha have not seen the film yet. Rishab Shah, the writer of the film, has seen it and he came up with the idea. This is a kind of a film that we have stopped making."
Mehta, who has roped in Rajkummar Rao, post "Shahid", said: "Rajkummar is my muse and he is my favourite actor. We have roped in new girl, Patraleka,, and we call her the wonder girl."
Rajkummar describes "Citylights" as one of his most special films. "It was a very challenging role and I got completely drained out working in the film," he added.
The film is slated for a May 30 release.

Shhh. It happens...
About myself
I'm just checking this out, but I'm pretty damn cool. Take my word for it. Lol I'd add more but after answering all these questions, I've learned things about me that I didn't even know.... Can't have you know more about me than I do, can I?
The person I would like to meet
You should be independant, funny, interesting, intelligent, attractive, and ready to be spoiled.
About my work
I drive trucks around the country. I'd rather be home, but I like having a home. Therefore I work.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
Almost anything that is not work.
My idea of a great date
Our conversation flows like water, and if it doesn't it's because we are lost in each others eyes.
If you are divorced/widower, you can talk about how that happened here.
I got dumped. Lol Or used. You can choose. 15 years and then it's over. "And that's all I've got to say about thaaat"
What is your fantasy vacation?
My lover and me on a deserted beach. Blue ocean meeting blue skies. No one is around. No clothes, no responsibilities, no worries, no limits.
What is your academic background?
Some college. Could have done better but that is a story for later.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
Hopped from campground to campground on a southward course until we ended up at disney world. Got rained on every flippin day, and had a great time! :-)
What do you find attractive in people?
many things.
What do others do that irritate you?
It actually takes alot to irritate me. But I don't recommend it.
What do you think is your best quality?
Lol. Duh. I think ALL of my qualities are the best.
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I would be less trusting, and maybe a little more selfish. But I am what I am. I'm cool with it and you will be too.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Do you like it when I touch you there? Lol Just say something interesting. If you ask for my email, or for me to add you on yahoo, or any other question where the goal is to get my email address I'll report your dumb ass as a spammer. The chat feature works just fine on this site...
Describe your physique.
Still in pretty good shape. It wouldn't hurt to tone up some, but I'm lookin pretty damn hot. I can do the splits... mostly.
What do you do well sexually?
Make my lover orgasm. As many times as possible. I have no doubt I'll get mine in the end, it's not that hard to take care of a guy. But finding the right buttons on a woman, and figuring out how to push them in exactly the right way, at exactly the right times is an adventure in itself. And one I never tire of.
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
I like all sex, but a good blowjob is always nice. Kinda motivates my tongue to not tire out quickly. Know what I mean?
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
I really want to meet a woman that can deepthroat VERY well. But willing to try is fun too. Hell, I gag when i brush my teeth, so I cant be hatin' LOL
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
I am very open minded. I've done alot. Not bi even a little, so that's out. Also not into any "watersports". But other than that, I've likely tried it.
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
No. And I don't want any, thank you very much.
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
All of the above. What happens, happens.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
If you ask a question, you'll get an honest answer. I'm not into games. I know you've heard it before, because I have too. But there you have it.

Sunergy Closes Initial Sale Of 27.5 Tons Of Stock Piled Black Sands From Pampana River, Sierra Leone Dredging Operations And Establishes A Base Price With Profit Sharing On Final Price To Produce Gold And Rare Earths Revenue
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunergy, Inc (the "Company") (OTC.QB: SNEY) is pleased to announce that on December 28, 2012 it sold and delivered an initial shipment of 27.5 tons of Pampana Black sands containing both Gold and Rare Earth Elements to a substantial Sierra Leone private Company for further processing and ultimate disposition. The terms of the transaction provide for a base payment to Sunergy of $1,200/ton FOB Sierra Leone, with a 50/50 split on the final price received above $1,200. The results of the Hazen Report received in August 2012 demonstrated that the Sands contained gold, titanium, zircon, tantalum and niobium and other Rare Earth Elements (See "Hazen Report" at www.sunergygold.com on home page). Further processing of the sands by the buyer could result in additional revenue for our Company in the near future from this shipment. This transaction establishes the minimum price/ton of unrefined black sand concentrates (Base Price), which enables the Company to more accurately plan for the Pilot Plant operation to be started in the near future. Results of this initial shipment of a portion of our stockpiled material will provide valuable additional information regarding advanced recovery methods geared to recovering more marketable elements which can also be separated by adding circuits to the Pilot Plant. This work is being done at no out-of-pocket cost to the Company, except a profit share above the base price.The size of this shipment is an amount that will provide more accurate actual recovery information than a small laboratory sample. It will also allow several tests to determine the most efficient means for economic recovery of the discreet materials that may be commercially marketable. This will enable us to determine what equipment is most useful to support our Phase 1 operation which could produce between 800-1,000 tons/ month.

Don't blame RacineSeptember 04,2014
Dont blame Racine
On the surface, Tom Kings letter defending Gov. Shumlins termination of Doug Racines tenure as human services secretary makes perfect sense.
Since Shumlins election and Racines appointment, however, Doug Racines resume has only added one item AHS secretary.
Shumlins appointment of Racine was clearly a political one for a highly political position as were many other appointments. If Tom King is correct, his statement Mr. Racine must take ultimate responsibility is far less appropriate than the governor must take ultimate responsibility. The governor knew Mr. Racines background extremely well.
As for the way the firing was handled if it was reported accurately pretty shabby for a guy who has done as much as Mr. Racine has.
Thank you, Mr. Racine, for doing the best you could with what you had in what might well be an impossible job for any one human being.
I agree with the spirit of Joseph Gainzas remarks.

The Copper Beeches - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The Copper Beeches
Watson is residing at 221B Baker Street
There's mention of the King of Bohemia, Mary Sutherland, a twisted lip and the noble bachelor cases.
The client in this case is Violet Hunter. She has some questions about a governess role that has been offered to her. The drama first started at her employment agency where she was offered £100 year for tutoring a six old boy; there was a proviso of also catering to any particular whims asked by the employers (!). One such stipulation was given at the interview: Mr. Rucastle wanted Miss Hunter to cut her luxurious auburn hair shorter. She absolutely refused and Mr. Rucastle upped her annual income to £120. Aside from learning that Mr. Rucastle has an adult daughter from a previous marriage; Miss Hunter can add no more. She had decided that Mr. Rucastle is a kind man with a lunatic wife and he is trying to comply with her bizarre wishes (how she came to this conclusion I really don't know).
Holmes smells something deep and vicious. He travels to Winchester in response to Miss Hunter's urgent telegram. Once there, Holmes and Watson learn a number of things: there are some secluded rooms which are clearly off limits to Violet.
One whim of the couple's is to repeatedly have Violet wear an electric blue gown, sit in front of a particular window and stay there for hours on end. On one occasion, Violet managed to see the quarry of this particular activity: a young man was seen on the road outside the window. She was instructed to wave him away and she complied.
There is an addition to the family: Carlo, the Rucastle's mastiff. Apparently they regularly half-starve the animal in order to make him a more efficient guard dog.
Holmes makes a plan. One night the Rucastles will be away; Violet is to lock the house servants in the cellar. Watson and Holmes head to the mysterious room and found that the captive has gone, taken away by Mr. Rucastle, who smelled a rat. Mr. Rucastle then confronts the group and promises revenge. He bolts from the room; shortly the baying of a dog, along with a strangled cry is heard. The half-mad dog, instead of protecting Mr. Rucastle, has attacked him. The group rushes down and Watson shoots the dog dead. Will the villain survive his gruesome attack?
We learn that money is at the bottom of all these strange and illegal goings-on; very similar to The Speckled Band.
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" The Copper Beeches starring Jeremy Brett
The opening scene shows a man trespassing through what we know is The Copper Beeches. Rucastle is aware of the interloper. He sends Carlo after the man.
The first scene with Holmes and Watson has Holmes belittling Watson's description of the canon. Watson, played by David Burke, gets hot under the collar.
Holmes thinks that he's hits his zenith when he receives a note from Violet Hunter. Miss Hunter arrives and tells of the first interview with Rucastle. (Joss Acklund is perfect, of course, for this role. With his character in the room, I would have run screaming from it). Of course, we learn that Rucastle himself presumably isn't a pervert, he's just twisted.
Once Violet has left 221B with intentions of taking the position, Holmes informs Watson that he would never allow any sister of his to take that job.
In this version, we learn that the "darling" charge of Violet's has flaming red hair……he presents Violet with a dead bird.
Rucastle introduces Violet to Carlo: are there any other animals?? Cheetah, baboon??? Shades of another story here.
Holmes decides to travel to Hampshire, while on the train Jeremy Brett recites the terrors of country living vs. city life (excellent scene).
Later, when Violet is confronted about finding the room, Rucastle threatens her with Carlo.
Violet has had enough and so the plan is set in place. In this version, the stranger shows up as Holmes and Watson are approaching the house. The man breaks into the secret rooms and a strange young lady screams. Everyone converges on the rooms, including Rucastle, back from his excursion. Rucastle locks the trio in, Watson shoots the lock out. Rucastle gets Carlo with the expected results. Watson again saves the day by bringing the dog down.
Mrs. Toller tells the story behind the mystery. Mrs. Toller was in with the stranger's: Fowler, plan to rescue Alice, Rucastle's daughter.
We learn that Rucastle ended up a broken man.
With Watson reciting the finished narrative from a publication, Holmes looks pained but when pressed, gives accolades to Watson's writings.

Can using video technology in courtroom proceedings improve efficiency at high-volume federal agencies, such as those dealing with veterans and immigration cases? What meticulously gathered evidence can help tighten ethics rules for government contractors? How will operations be affected by requiring that governing boards adhere more closely to open-meetings requirements of the Government in Sunshine Act?
On April 24, Verkuil will discuss the work of the conference, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. The next day, he will be among seven exemplary Tulanians honored by the Law School as the second class of Hall of Fame inductees.
Verkuil's lecture is scheduled for noon at the Marian Mayer Berkett Multipurpose Room on the uptown campus. The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required by email.
President Barack Obama nominated Verkuil in 2009 to lead the ACUS. The agency was authorized by legislation signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson 1964, but Congress ended funding in 2005. Operations restarted after the Senate approved Verkuil in March of 2010.
The Administrative Conference is a public-private partnership whose members study how agencies actually function, then devise recommendations to improve government operations.
In an anniversary video, Verkuil describes ACUS as "an agency that worries about other agencies."
"ACUS facilitates an exchange of views that enhances the quality of administrative management," Verkuil says.
An authority on administrative law, Verkuil testifies often before Congress. He helped raise Tulane Law School's national profile and powerfully energized its research mission during his tenure as dean from 1978–85. He also has been president of the College of William & Mary (his alma mater), CEO of the American Automobile Association and dean of Cardozo School of Law.
Linda P. Campbell is director of communications for the Tulane Law School.

Making folks feel at home, even in a museum
By: Michael Kirby
Community Portrait
Jan Hungerford is one of the welcoming faces you see when you visit the Placer County Courthouse Museum located in the Auburn Historic Courthouse. Lively, fun and full of information, Hungerford just loves her volunteer job, which she carries out four to five days a month. For five years she has graciously greeted guests who visit the museum, answers questions about the displays and has a genuine interest in the history of Auburn and Placer County. In turn, she learns interesting historic facts about life in Auburn. Hungerford has lived in the area since 1956 and operated two state-licensed daycare centers in Meadow Vista and Colfax for more than 37 years. In retirement, Hungerford still likes to stay busy and is happy getting out and being with people, especially seeing children who come to the museum. "I miss seeing children from my years in the daycare business," Hungerford said. Hungerford uses Dial-a-Ride to get from her home at Auburn Ravine Terrace to the museum, because she no longer drives. She greets each visitor with a smile, gets them to sign the visitor register and marvels at the variety of places they come from and how far the visitors are sometimes away from their homes. She explains what's in the museum, mentions any special exhibits, answers questions, offers historical facts and within a few minutes seems like an old friend, helping each guest feel at home in Auburn. A friend suggested that she consider being a volunteer as a docent at the museum, after they had both retired and began asking each other, "what are we going to do now that we're retired?" At nearly 81 years old, the vivacious Hungerford likes to be active and thrives on meeting and talking to people. She has a strong interest in Auburn's history and one of the items to do on her short bucket list is to visit the Hawver Cave near the American River Confluence. J.C. Hawver, a local dentist with an interest in archaeology, discovered the cave in the early 1900s near the limestone quarry. The cave is currently closed to visitors, but a display in the museum has Hungerford eager to explore it. The museum in the courthouse is one of three Placer County museums located in Auburn, and the one Hungerford prefers to volunteer time at as a docent. "I'm surprised at the number of local people that stop in and admit that they never knew there was a museum was here," Hungerford said. "This museum is just so nice. It's clean, it's cared for, it's loved and it's free, though donations are always accepted." As she's done hundreds of times, Hungerford greets a family as they enter the museum with a friendly, kind voice. She asks them to sign the register, explains a little about the museum and can't help but ask if she can hold the baby and say hello.
