(Sports Network) - The undefeated San Jose Sharks got some extra rest after
engaging in a physical contest over the weekend. They'll try to extend their
best start in franchise history on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks,
who are also off to an impressive beginning to the season.
The Sharks are 5-0-0 for the first time in club history after notching a 4-1
victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. Joe Pavelski had a pair of goals
in the third contest of a six-game homestand for San Jose.
Patrick Marleau, who had notched four straight two-goal games to begin the
season, and Joe Thornton both had a goal and an assist as they lead the NHL
with 13 points each.
Antti Niemi turned away 23 shots in the triumph to earn his 100th career win.
Ryan Clowe engaged in a first-period fight and also picked up a game
misconduct in the second period on the way to begin assessed a total of 35
penalty minutes in a game that featured a number of fights and rough stuff.
"Every time we play Vancouver it's like that. They don't like us, we don't
like them," Sharks forward Logan Couture said. "We expect a battle, and
sometimes games get out of hand a little bit. If they're going to put us on
the power play, we'll take it."
The Sharks will try to keep their cool on Tuesday as they hope to snap a
three-game slide at home to the Ducks, who won the season series 5-1 last
season and have captured nine of the past 13 encounters overall.
Anaheim has won three of its first four to begin the season, picking up road
wins at Vancouver and Calgary before getting blanked 5-0 by the Canucks in
their home opener on Friday. The Ducks did bounce back in front of their home
crowd the following day, earning a 3-2 shootout win over the Nashville
After Jonas Hiller got the start in the first three games, 30-year-old Swede
Viktor Fasth made his NHL debut on Saturday and came up with 19 saves before
stopping all three skaters he faced in the shootout.
Fasth was signed as an undrafted free agent on May 21 after serving as the
starting goaltender for the Swedish national team at the World Championship.
"He's as cool as a cucumber," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "That's the
demeanor you have to have to be successful. He was pretty relaxed. It was a
great debut for him."
Corey Perry scored the lone shootout goal for the Ducks, who got regulation
goals from Bobby Ryan and Daniel Winnik to post their best start to a season
since opening the 2006-07 campaign 3-0-1.
Winnik, meanwhile, is the first player in Ducks history to score five goals
through the first four games of a season. He skated in 21 games with the
Sharks last season after being acquired from the Colorado Avalanche at the
trade deadline.

|'7 Wonders of Money' challenge FCCLA
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Holyoke FCCLA Chapter traveled to Wray Wednesday, Oct. 16 for the organization's fall conference. Twenty-three students from Holyoke attended, accompanied by chapter adviser Karen Ortner and chaperone Debbie Brandt.
Following the traditional ceremony, FCCLA members were grouped with fellow members of other Colorado FCCLA chapters to form a "family." Each "family" consisted of five members, and each of the five "communities" consisted of 10 families.
Each of these "families" had a set $3,000 monthly income, which they were challenged to balance as they attended workshops at which they had to make "purchases." Communities attended workshops together. There were seven workshops at the conference, which were titled The Seven Wonders of Money.
The Wonder of Transportation workshop was presented by Holyoke chapter president Brenda Hernandez, secretary Alex Yanez and student council representative Dani Brandt. In this workshop, families had five vehicle choices, and information on fuel costs, mileage, saftey features and monthly payments was provided.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Virginia hopes a visit from a longtime rival will pull it out of its funk.
The Cavaliers (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) have lost four straight, three of them decisively, and they play upstart Maryland on Saturday in a critical game for both programs.
It marks the start of the second half for Virginia. The Cavaliers finished 8-5 last season, went to their first bowl game since 2007 and know they need to stop waiting for things to go right and make them go right.
The Terrapins seem to have found some stability after a turbulent offseason and are atop the ACC's Atlantic Division standings
Not lost in all that's at stake Saturday as Maryland defensive lineman AJ Francis says, "they don't like us, and we don't like them."

|Arenzes named Harvest Fest parade Grand Marshals
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 26 June 2014 15:27
Jo and Ed Arenz will serve as grand marshals at the 2014 Harvest Fest parade on Saturday, July 26. The parade's theme is "Flower Power...Bloomin' in Wauneta." (Sheri Hink-Wagner | The Wauneta Breeze)
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
The Wauneta Harvest Fest committee recently announced the Grand Marshals of the 2014 Harvest Fest parade. Ed and Jo Arenz were chosen for the honor due to their business, Roonie's Place, being on Wauneta's main street for 30 years and for their contributions to the community.
The theme for this year's parade will be, "Flower Power...Bloomin' in Wauneta."
Ed and Jo have been highly involved in the community for many years.
Ed has served as chairman of the Wauneta village board, the park board, was a member of the Wauneta Volunteer Fire Department, Wauneta EMS and on the Hamlet Union Church board.
Jo has served on both the school board and the senior center board.
"They are always willing to donate their time to help out when needed," explains Harvest Fest Chairperson Brenda Anderson. "They have given many hours to the Chamber, with being in charge of the Harvest Fest barbecue for the last several years."
Roonie's Place celebrated its 30th anniversary on Feb. 14, 2014. The business opened its door on Valentine's Day 1984 as a result of a joking comment at a Thanksgiving dinner in 1983. Its 30 years of successful operation show that drive, determination and good customer service can turn a partially serious idea into a staple of the business community.
"We don't realize the things Ed and Jo do for the people who can't get back on Memorial Day, delivering flowers to our friends and family for special occasions and taking part in the loss of our family members," Anderson explains. "They do a great job!"
Harvest Fest Committee members include Anderson, Kathy Kerchal, Mandi Kramer and Terry Engell.

America's Roman Catholic bishops have approved revisions to their sex abuse policy that aim to protect the rights of accused priests while keeping molesters away from children.
Members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted 246-to-seven with six abstentions to approve the new plan, which stipulates that offending priests should be removed from public ministry.
That includes celebrating Mass, teaching in Catholic schools or wearing a Roman collar after "even one act of sexual abuse of a minor."
The policy will be binding on all U.S. bishops after a final Vatican review. It was revised to satisfy Vatican concerns that the U.S. bishops weren't doing enough to ensure due process for priests.
The bishops insist the plan shows they are deeply committed to reform.

The father of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing claims that his son who is still on the loose is a smart and accomplished young man.
Anzor Tsarnaev spoke with The Associated Press by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala on Friday after police said one of his sons, 26-year-old Tamerlan, had been killed in a shootout and the other, Dzhokhar, was being intensely pursued.
"My son is a true angel," the elder Tsarnaev said. "Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."

I saw this show the other day where some guys were field testing the Victory VooDoo Crossbow bolts.
They had a Crossbow that shot 350fps with regular bolts. They also had one that was at 250fps shooting the Victory Voodoo bolt with the new ICE coating.
They put up a target, the big black one I think called BLOCK? or something like that. Then a bag target behind it to catch the bolts.
The regular bolts only stuck into the block target like a normal arrow would.
The victory archery bolts went clean trough the block! A complete pass through and into the bag target.
I have been shooting bows a long long time. It was truly impressive to see. The targets were new, and they were at 50 and 80 yards for two different tests.
Did anyone else catch this show? Has anyone shot their arrows this season?

|Melodrama takes stage Sunday
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Phillips County Players and the Peerless Theatre are pleased to present a melodrama on stage at the Peerless Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m.
"Someone Save My Baby, Ruth! Or... Foil That Villain!" is directed by Penny Dockins, taking place at a Boston candy store in the late 1800s.
When lovely young widow Penny Candy and her baby, Ruth, are taken in by her Aunt Praline, owner of The Sweet Shoppe candy store, little does Penny know both love and danger lie ahead.
The villainous Sidney Swindle is determined to buy The Sweet Shoppe as part of his plan to sell the property to the city for America's first subway system. Should Praline refuse his offer, Sidney is prepared to do away with her and her heirs in order to obtain the land at public auction!
Cast members in "Someone Save My Baby, Ruth" are pictured from left, front row, Andrea McCallum, Dani Brandt, Anastasia Conklin, Shianne Willmon and Zander Salyers; middle row, Dolly Smith, Brenda Brandt, Marcia Dalton, Ashley Sullivan and Penny Dockins; and back row, Bob Brandt, Jacob Vasa, Shanda Willmon, Kellee Salyers, Eric Conklin and Maury Kramer.

The hilarious results include the kidnapping of Baby Ruth, an attempt to burn down The Sweet Shoppe and a wild chase through the audience with the good guys pelting the villains with candy... which the audience can eat, of course!
Other characters include Penny's new love and the audience's hero police officer Ernest Noble, cooks Farron Heit and Cindy Grade and clerks Taffy and Toffee and their boyfriends.
Phillips County Players will have the audience eating out of their hands—literally—in this tasty theatrical treat.

As up to 40 prisoners in Dubai Central Jail for bouncing cheques are thought to be taking part in a hunger strike to push for reform of the country's insolvency laws, a Dubai-based bank has launched a drive to get the UAE's spendthrift residents into the alien habit of saving money.
In a campaign that strangely reminds me of Ikea's effort to get us to "chuck out the chintz", Emirates NBD is encouraging customers to "cut the coffee" in an attempt to reduce their personal expenses so they can start saving. A daily latte habit, for example, could be preventing you from saving upwards of AED 3,600 (£600) a year. Other money-saving ideas proposed by the bank include turning off the lights, keeping the air-conditioning above 25˚C, using group-buying websites and shopping for bargains in the sales (or presumably in Poundstretcher, when it opens).

Incredible buck and some great pictures. I think the debt has been paid in full.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
That is a great buck. Sounds like you guys had a really good hunt.
That buck is a monster! Love the pics through the spotting scope with several nice bucks and all you see sticking out is HORNS
That is one heck ofa present! I just moved to Kansas not too long ago. To say the least... I really want to be out hunting after those pics! Was this on public or private?
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

Looks like the early muzzleloader season was a good choice. That's a great buck, and a great gift to give to your dad.
Awesome buck!! Congrats! Nothing better than a hunt with dad. I really like the pics also!

Straight from Media Relations: Kansas City Royals designated hitter Mike Sweeney underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday morning. The surgery was performed by Dr. Steve Joyce. Sweeney will meet with Dr. Joyce tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium and at that time, the scope of the surgery will be discussed. At the present time, no timetable has been set for Sweeney's return.
5 Comments
Who'd a-thunk that with Sweeney and Grudzelaniek out, the Royals would be playing stellar ball? The quandary will be how to make room for them once they're back. What to do with Billy Butler? What about Gathright?
By the way: I believe I may be the only KC fan in New England. And I don't have a problem with that.
I would like to see Sweeney, who everyone knew would get hurt AGAIN, give back some of the HUGE money he is getting this season. He is old and washed up and does not deserve the paycheck he is getting. As a "man of god" he should feel guilty for taking the paychecks and performing like he's in AA ball. So give some of that money back so we can pick up someone who can play a full season and move on to the coaching aspect of the game, and when I say coaching, I mean move on to coaching high school or t-ball not big leagues.
I'd still rather see Sweeney at the plate with a crucial scoring opportunity than say, Costa.
I wish Sweeney well with his recovery. But it's time to think about the Royals' future and let Billy Butler be a full time DH. However, with Butler being a rookie, the Royals will get what they paid for.

Priority Area 1: Protected areas .... conserving nature
Protected areas are widely regarded as one of the most successful measures implemented for the conservation of biodiversity, drawing upon traditional and community-based approaches, governance regimes, scientific and traditional knowledge and contemporary practices of governments and conservation agencies. This is reflected in the Global Biodiversity Outlook (CBD 2010), where protected areas are one of the few measures that can be rated as improving at the global scale, and indeed one of the few measures of conservation success at any scale. Funding for strengthening PA systems and supporting capacity development for their effective management is at an all-time high, reflecting both the need and the cost-effectiveness of protected areas as a primary conservation measure by governments and donors. Decisions on protected areas reached at CBD COP10 in 2010 and that now form part of the CBD's Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 are widely considered to be the most far-reaching and important in decades.
IUCN together with UNEP-WCMC jointly manages the World Database on Protected Areas, mandated by the UN, to report on and communicate the progress that the global community is making on establishing and managing protected areas. This is the authoritative source of information on protected areas, and can be used effectively to position IUCN and UNEP-WCMC as measuring progress against the CBD Strategic Plan on Biodiversity. The World Database on Protected Areas has now been fully incorporated into a new web-based platform known as Protected Planet, that provides a more user-friendly interface for a range of stakeholders to obtain information and provide information on protected areas worldwide. Everyone involved with protected areas is encouraged to register on Protected Planet and to join this worldwide network of places and the people who ensure that they remain effectively managed and achieving their purpose in perpetuity.
Yet, protected areas also suffer from the perception that they are outmoded, or at worst, do not benefit, but cause negative impacts on people. While there may be instances where practice has been less than optimal, and these should be addressed, there is an increasing body of evidence of the significant contributions of protected areas to economy and society. Communicating this value of protected area systems is crucial for securing investment by governments, the avoidance of impacts through development and for raising and sustaining awareness and support by communities and the public at large. As many nature conservation agencies have attempted to communicate the relevance of nature conservation for human needs, they have failed to draw attention to protected areas as one of the few effective measures to achieve this. There remains a real niche and opportunity for IUCN to develop, assert and promote a 21st Century concept of protected areas as part of natural solutions to address some of the most complex problems the world faces. IUCN's Commission on Education and Communication is working together with the World Commission on Protected Areas, GPAP and the IUCN Communications Division to develop an overall communications strategy, define key messages and audiences, and to brand and develop appropriate products.

After the successful install of Z-Push with Zimbra with one of my domains I try to figure out if it is possible to use Z-Push with different domains on the Zimbra Server.
On Zimbra it´s easy to manage different domains with different users per domain but how to sync them with only 1 instance of Z-Push.
Is there a way to do so? I dont´t know where but I thought I have read that this would be possible with Z-Push 2.0 - is this correct or does it still work with Z-Push 1.5.7?

Rutgers basketball scandal brings down AD Pernetti
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. Rutgers' coaching scandal spiraled deeper Friday, bringing down the popular athletic director and a school vice president while donors threatened to cut off their contributions to New Jersey's largest public university.
The day of mounting troubles for the school began with Athletic Director Tim Pernetti resigning over his failure to immediately fire coach Mike Rice, who was caught on video hitting, kicking and taunting players with anti-gay slurs at practice.
The video was shown Tuesday on ESPN, prompting outrage nationwide and on campus, where the coach's conduct was especially sensitive because of the 2010 suicide of a student who killed himself after his roommate used a webcam to record him kissing another man.
Rice was fired by Pernetti on Wednesday, but the athletic director immediately came under criticism for only suspending and fining the coach after the video was brought to his attention four months ago. Pernetti said Friday he wanted to fire Rice on the spot but did not because the consensus among school officials at the time was that it didn't warrant dismissal.
Rutgers President Robert Barchi came under harsh questioning from reporters at a news conference Friday over what he knew about the video months ago, but he got a nod of support from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and the school's board of governors.
Barchi, who took office in September 2012, said he first saw the video only this week, but was aware it existed in late November when Pernetti gave him a summary of what was on it at the time.
"This was a failure of process. I regret that I did not ask to see this video when Tim first told me of its existence," Barchi said. "I want to apologize to the entire Rutgers community for the negative impact that this situation has had on Rutgers.
"I also apologize to the LGBT community and all of us who share their values for the homophobic slurs shown on that video. I personally know how hurtful that language can be."
Based on the information he received from Pernetti, Barchi said he "agreed with and supported his recommendation to suspend, rather than fire, coach Rice at that time. It was not until Tuesday evening of this week, when I watched the video, that I had the opportunity to witness personally for the first time what Tim had seen last fall.
"I was deeply disturbed by the behavior that the video revealed, which was much more abusive and pervasive than I had understood it to be. As Tim acknowledged on Wednesday, his decision to rehabilitate, rather than fire, coach Rice was wrong."
Barchi said the school hopes to appoint an interim athletic director in a few days but he admitted he had no idea whether that person would come from inside or outside the university.
The 42-year-old Pernetti is a Rutgers graduate who played tight end for the Scarlet Knights from 1989-93.
Pernetti said in his resignation letter to Barchi that "my first instincts when I saw the videotape of Coach Rice's behavior was to fire him immediately. However, Rutgers decided to follow a process involving university lawyers, human resources professionals, and outside counsel."
"Following review of the independent investigative report, the consensus was that university policy would not justify dismissal. I have admitted my role in, and regret for, that decision, and wish that I had the opportunity to go back and override it for the sake of everyone involved," it said.
Pernetti enjoys some popularity among Rutgers alumni and donors, especially after he helped the school move to the Big Ten Conference, which means millions in additional revenue from TV contracts and more national exposure, especially in football. The move, which becomes official in 2014, should provide a big boost to the program in recruiting and season ticket sales. The Scarlet Knights will continue to play next season in the Big East.

genuine tattoo.... tells a story. I like stories and tattoos, no matter how well done, and if they don't tell a story that involves you emotionally, then they're just there for decoration, then they're not a valid tattoo. There has to be some emotional appeal or they're not, to my way of thinking, a real tattoo. It tells people what you are and what you believe in, so there's no mistakes.

Caravan pictures from Nebraska
Current Royals Luke Hochevar and Mitch Maier, Royals Hall of Famer Dennis Leonard, and Fox Sports Kansas City reporter Joel Goldberg are touring Nebraska and Iowa this week (2008 Player of the Year Mike Aviles is scheduled to join the group today in Omaha). Senior Director of Community Relations and Nebraska native Ben Aken is on the trip as well. Ben sent along a few pictures from the first two days, so we'd like to share them with you.
Here's our group getting ready to board the bus. Hopefully Leo has a jacket on the bus, as the current temps in Omaha and Des Moines are -9 and -12!
This year, the caravan is focusing on reading and education. At this assembly, Mitch answers questions from Joel about the importance of doing well in school.
2009 is the 40th anniversary of Royals baseball. These young fans (notice that they are all decked out in Royals gear!) give Luke and Mitch an assist by holding the Royals Caravan sign.
Autographs are always are a big hit…hopefully Luke doesn't wear out his arm!
The Royals are helping the next generation of baseball players through the Royalty Fields program. Our group presented the Kearney County Legion Baseball program with a $5,000 check.

I know its a long ways away, but with putting in for points in other states and counting on drawing those tags, WY will be 2015 before I can get up there to chase some elk.
So here are my questions, and if anyone needs help in CO, feel free to fire right back. Always happy to share information.
I will have 5 points in 2015. Planning an archery (will put a rifle in hand if I can fill the tag with a bow) elk hunt. Looking to have a base camp, but will to pack in if necessary. Looking at trying to draw a limited tag. Not looking for a 300 inch bull, just looking for a good quality hunt with good number of elk.
Obviously units with a lot of wilderness are out being a non-resident, there are a lot of units in the Southeast most have very limited access.
-What unit would you put in for?
-How is the public access?
-Are there any units specifically in the southeast?

I have two Zimbra users, one on our corporate NE's server, and one on my personal domain, running a Zimbra 7.2 OSE server.
I would like to share my Zimbra NE user's calendar with my personal Zimbra OSE user. That way, I can open only one mailbox (either place), and immediately see if I have a calendar opening, without having to open two web clients and checking between them. Also, then I can experiment with splitting my information, i.e. not needing to put my personal appointments in my corporate calendar.
Zimbra can import ICS calendars, and export as a ICS calendar, so it should work. If I do it as a public share, it works correctly between both web clients. However, some of the information in my corporate calendar is sensitive (I have signed a fairly broad NDA), so I would prefer to hide it behind a username/password prompt. Here I ran into issues. I can in Zimbra export the calendar with a email address and password, and it then requests basic auth through a web browser. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to enter the username/password into the webclient when it connects to the remote server.
I also tried to manually construct a URL containing the email address and password, but I failed to get that to work as well.
After searching the forums, I could only come up with this thread: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...ntication.html
Is there anything else I can try, or is this not possible right now?

FSA BB-AL90 Bottom Bracket Assembly - BB90 $0.00
The BB90 bottom bracket design does away with the threaded-in cups of the external bearing configuration. Instead, the 37 x 24 x 7mm high-quality steel bearings in this FSA bottom bracket assembly press directly into the 90mm wide x 37mm i.d. shell on the frame. Currently the Trek Madone is the best known example of bikes that use this system. Our FSA kit includes the two cartridge bearings and two black plastic dust shields. It is important to note that the inner races of each bearing have a machined groove that accepts a lip on the dust shield. This groove must be on the outboard side of the bearings when they are pressed into place.
Our FSA BB-AL90 Bottom Bracket Assembly for BB90 is specifically designed to be used with their Gossamer Pro, Gossamer, and Energy alloy crankarms. Note: this kit will NOT work with FSA's carbon fiber cranksets. Actual weight is 44 grams.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- As a long-time political correspondent for CNN, Frank Sesno covered more than his share of interesting presidential debates, but none more interesting, according to Sesno, than Wednesday night's duel in Denver.
"The expectations that went in were so completely divergent from the results that came out," Sesno said.
Currently the director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, Sesno said Mitt Romney's poised performance, coupled with President Obama's lackluster performance, seems to have the changed the tone of the Presidential race.
"I cannot explain what happened to Barack Obama. He was AWOL, he was distracted, detached, defensive," said Sesno.
Sesno also said that even if the President's strategy going into the debate was to appear presidential, stay calm, and not make any major mistakes, he should have become much more engaged as Romney clearly took the reins.
Having said all that, Sesno added that plenty of presidential candidates have rallied after a bad first debate and, with that in mind, he's very much looking forward to the next debate, on October 16th.
"Romney thinks he's on a roll now, he's going to keep that posture, I presume. Barack Obama has to have a completely different air about him. He's got to be a combatant, not a visitor," Sesno said.

Ocali Country Days goes medieval
Published: Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
To be sure, this week's Ocali Country Days will have all the usual crowd favorites — the cracker cow camp, syrup-making demonstrations, old-timey bluegrass, candle-dipping, crafts and a working Civil-War-era cannon.
Ocali Country Days
When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Silver Springs State Park, 1425 NE 58th Ave. (Baseline Road), Ocala
Admission: $5; free for ages 5 and younger and military personnel with ID (236-5401)
Travel through time
Pick up a "passport" upon entry to Ocali Country Days and get it stamped at each of the following time-periods. Fill up an entire passport and receive a prize at the Silver River Museum.
1400 — Timucuan Indian Camp. The Timucuans lived in this part of Florida long before European explorers or settlers arrived.
1539 — Conquistador Camp. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to arrive in Florida.
1750 — Trapper and Trader Camp. Trappers roamed the frontier trading with Indians and settlers.
1863 — Civil War Soldier Camp. Florida was part of the Confederacy but had soldiers from both the Union and Confederacy here during the war.
1890 — Cow Hunter Camp. Florida Cow Hunters caught wild cattle left behind by the Spanish.
1930 — Silver Springs Schoolhouse. This was an African-American school from 1930 to 1963 during the years of Segregation.
1944 — World War II Soldier area. Soldiers trained for combat in World War II at Taylor Air Field in Ocala.
2013 — Seminole Indian Camp. Seminole and Miccosukee people have a long history in Florida. Most now live near the Everglades.
But this year's hands-on celebration of Florida pioneer life will incorporate another significant element: the statewide Viva Florida 500 commemoration.
"We have evidence that native people have been living in Marion County for at least 15,000 years. But there were no Europeans living here until the arrival of the Spanish in 1513," said lead Ocali Country Days organizer Scott Mitchell.
That's when Juan Ponce de Leon arrived and dubbed the land "La Florida." The first Spanish soldiers showed up on war horses wearing medieval chainmail armor, carrying weapons such as crossbows, added Mitchell, the director of the Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center.
"It actually was a military expedition into unknown territory," he said, noting the native people at that time called the Marion County area "Ocali."
The arrival of the Spanish was a major turning point in U.S. history because, although notoriously violent, it ultimately ushered in a new era for the country.
Typically, the annual Ocali Country Days festival shines a spotlight on pioneer life of the 1800s, but because of the important 500-year benchmark, the focus this year also will include a contingent of "Spanish conquistadors" who will set up camp on the event grounds, the Silver Spring State Park property formerly known as Silver River State Park. That will be in addition to seven other camps, including several new ones for the festival that will represent various benchmarks of life in Florida spanning more than 600 years.
Slated to be among the Spanish men-at-arms dressed in period clothing and armor, and demonstrating weaponry during the popular festival, will be Bill Boston of Umatilla. He'll be representing the early Spanish cavalry, he said, with a "cracker horse" named Lightning. He's excited, he said, not only to share the wealth of information found in Florida's rich history, but also to help alleviate what he sees as common misconceptions about the first Spaniards to arrive in Florida.
"The Spaniards are known to have been cruel and barbarous to the native people, but there were hard times back then. Life was different, and we can't judge by today's standards," Boston said. "As the saying goes, 'If you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it.'"
The earliest camp featured during Ocali Country Days will include a group of Timucuan Indian re-enactors who represent Ocala's "pre-history" period of around 1400, and the most recent camp will feature real present-day Seminole Indians who, today, mostly live near the Everglades in South Florida.
The event has been open this week to hundreds of local students. It opens to the general public Saturday and Sunday; it attracts thousands each years. This year, visitors can stop by each camp and visit with historians and actors who will be demonstrating what life was like during their particular time period.
In fact, said Mitchell, festival guests are encouraged to pick up a "passport" upon entry and as they "travel through time," get a stamp at each stop. Those with completed passports can come to the museum (on the park grounds) to receive a prize.
The normal park-entry fee is waived for the day, as is the admission fee for the Silver River Museum. The cost for the festival is $5 per person. Ages 5 and younger are admitted free.
The festival serves as the museum and education center's major fundraiser for the year. Mitchell emphasized the entrance to Ocali Country Days is located off Baseline Road. However, he encourages people also to drive around to the Silver Springs State Park (formally Silver Springs attraction) entrance on State Road 40 and take a free peek to see the state's restoration efforts.
"If you haven't been there in a while, you'll notice a big difference," Mitchell said. "It's just a fantastic weekend to come out, enjoy some food and music, and view some of Marion County's history up close and personal."

|City prepares for upcoming Mini Park improvements
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Holyoke City Council members briefly discussed the future of the Mini Park located on the southeast corner of the stoplight intersection during their Tuesday, Sept. 17 meeting.
Renovations to the park will include the removal of trees and all concrete, excluding the ramps and elevation area. New fencing, pillars, a roof and a dormer will be constructed as well.
At Tuesday's meeting, City Superintendent Mark Brown presented the council with an early estimate of the project costs. The council then voted to spend up to $20,000 in 2013 for the project that Brown estimates could cost over $42,000.
Before winter hits, the gazebo and trees may be removed, but no date has been set for when work will begin.
The $20,000 will be used to purchase material for the Mini Park. A steel support structure will be purchased and housed inside for the winter to prevent rusting. Painting and welding of the structure could possibly begin over the winter.
Weather-permitting, Brown anticipates the project being completed in the spring of 2014.
Officials report
Brown reported that street crews are still working on street patching when the weather allows and storm drains are being cleared from recent rain showers.
Holyoke Police Chief Doug Bergstrom reported that from Aug. 29-Sept. 11, the department received 57 calls for service, issued one citation, wrote three reports and gave out 13 warnings. HPD has also been assisting other agencies.
City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Olofson noted that the city had received $25,695.14 from the state as part of the severance tax distribution, $1,053.30 from the federal mineral release distribution and $6,655.15 more for the third-quarter conservation trust fund distribution.
Olofson also informed council members that the Phillips County commissioners will be attending the Tuesday, Oct. 1 council meeting to discuss issues related to forming the 51st state.
Other business
In other business Sept. 17, the council:
—accepted the property/casualty renewal premium quote from CIRSA for 2014 at $59,388 after the member equity credit has been applied, with a $2,500 deductible per incident.
—accepted the workers compensation renewal premium quote from CIRSA for 2014 at $48,693 after the member equity credit has been applied, with a $500 deductible per incident.
—agreed that the city will pay for half of the flu shot fees for full-time employees and city officials. Part-time employees, spouses and children will pay the full fee.
—approved a special events permit for the Phillips County Pheasants Forever on Nov. 9.
—set wages for Sergio Ramirez-Munoz at $13 an hour with a $1 an hour increase after obtaining his CDL.

Eye treatment products provide a variety of benefits from moisturizing to exfoliating to fighting signs of aging; unfortunately, some eye products contain harsh ingredients that can do more harm than good. Artificial colorings and fragrances have the potential to irritate the under eye area in sensitive individuals, causing irritation that can appear as unsightly under eye bags. Additionally, some eye products cause redness, allergic reactions and itchy, watery eyes. The EmerginC Eye Products collection stands apart from some of the inferior, chemically-based eye treatment products that are available on the market today, allowing you to get the beautiful results that you want without any unwanted side effects.
The EmerginC Eye Products line is free of chemical fragrances and colors for the ultimate in gentleness.

Whether its crow's feet or dark circles that plague you, the EmerginC Eye Products collection has a solution. This lineup of effective skin care products is specifically formulated to heal and strengthen the eye area without causing irritation. All of the eye products are completely fragrance and coloring-free and never tested on animals.
EmerginC Lighten Up Under Eye Circle Fighter helps eliminate discoloration in the under eye area without the use of harmful skin bleaches that can irritate your eyes. The whitening action comes from the proprietary Bio-white complex, which not only banishes dark circles, but also strengthens the under eye tissue to prevent their return. Enhanced with vitamins A, K and E, the cream also has powerful age-fighting potential.
EmerginC Hyper Vitalizer Eye Cream is like a vitamin tonic for the under eye area, offering an unparalleled level of nourishment to troubled tissue. Safe for all skin types, the cream uses a blend of antioxidants, shea butter, meadowfoam seed extract and borage seed extract to simultaneously soften the skin in the eye area while strengthening the tissue. As a result, the cream helps minimize crow's feet and dark circles, while battling dryness.
EmerginC Protocell Bio-Active Stem Cell Eye Cream is the eye cream designed to slow down the hands of time or even turn them back. This blend of apple seed and cactus extracts, argan and olive oils, hyaluronic acid and green tea promotes collagen production to battle sagging, while filling in fine lines and wrinkles.

Bellevue State Park
Wilmington, Delaware
(302) 761-6963
A Park For All Seasons
Bellevue Hall mansion commands a grand view of this historic estate, and its present form reflects alterations made by William du Pont, Jr. Mr. du Pont surrounded his home with the finest facilities: tennis courts, equestrian stables, gardens, and a picturesque pond, amid woodlands and fields overlooking the Delaware River. The park was acquired by the State of Delaware in 1976.
The Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation has retained the historic charm of Bellevue while providing many opportunities for recreation. Walking and jogging are popular activities at any time of the year. A 1-1/8 mile fitness track circles a catch-and-release fishing pond stocked with bass, catfish, and sunfish, while the nearby exercise trail offers a refreshing workout. Hiking trails allow you to explore other parts of the estate. If you prefer cycling, both paved and unpaved paths lead you on a leisurely tour.
Picnic Palaces
Bellevue is a delightful place for a picnic, too. Tables are located throughout the park, and pavilions can be reserved for larger groups. The Hunter Barn provides indoor picnic facilities upon reservation. Or, simply spread a blanket on the lawn to enjoy old-fashioned outdoor dining.
Meetings and Special Events
Bellevue Hall is an elegant setting for group functions such as meetings and receptions. Mansion tours are offered periodically. Discover how William du Pont, Jr. transformed the mansion from a Gothic Revival castle into a replica of President James Madison's home, Montpelier.
Tennis and Equestrian Centers
The tennis facilities are outstanding, with eight outdoor clay courts. A tennis professional is a available for lessons, and a pro shop stocks your favorite equipment. Bellevue also boasts a modern equestrian facility, with indoor and outdoor arenas for riding lessons.
Programs, Concerts, and Camps
Recreational activities are first-rate, with a variety of programs for visitors of all ages. Summer theme camps entertain and educate children. From June through August, enjoy evening concerts and performances at the Bandshell. Hayrides (by reservation) are fun in the fall. Outdoor ice skating is also allowed, conditions permitting.

Piora has an Italian-sounding name but it's actually Korean, meaning "blossom," which is perfectly appropriate, since this restaurant offers Italian-Korean dishes (with American and French influences). This is no fusion cuisine, however, but singular dishes divined by the talented Chris Cipollone, who first grabbed our attention at Midtown's Tenpenny. This time out he's partnered with Simon Kim, of Korean heritage, who formerly managed The Mark Restaurant by Jean Georges. That means service is polished and professional. The space has an understated elegance, the long, stone-topped bar leading to a dark dining room framed by an enchanting, diorama-like back garden. Cipollone's lusty food is Instagram-worthy, from barbecued octopus with fermented pepper to suckling pig to black garlic bucatini laced with chili, dungeness crab and maitake mushrooms. The wine, beer and spirits collection is well curated, geared for advanced tastes.
