Ford Small-Block Building - Pump Up The VolumeWritten by on February 1, 2005 Stroking Gobs Of Torque And Extra Ponies Out Of A Ford Small-Block
Ask any rock 'n' roller worth his ever-growing fan base and he'll tell you how he came to fame. He pumped up the volume. What works in the world of popular music also applies in high-performance engine building. Every Ford fan has dreamed of powering their vintage Ford hauler with a side-oiler 427ci FE big-block powerplant. Getting back to reality, how many of those original side-oiler FEs do you think are available for purchase, rebuildable, and affordable? Unless you have the bank account of Bruce Springsteen, not too many. Enter master engine builder Smeding Performance in Rancho Cordova, California, to the rescue.
Owner Ben Smeding, Mr. Kim, Dan Moody, and Tony Bagatelos comprise the talented crew at Smeding Performance. They have many years of experience building engines for custom vintage trucks, street rods, muscle cars, dragsters, and their own race cars. Starting with a brand-new Chevy 350ci, Ford 302ci, or Ford 351ci Windsor small-blocks, the shop specializes in building stroker engines. By increasing the displacement of a high-revving small-block, significant gains are made in torque, along with impressive horsepower increases in the street-friendly rpm range. Engines that produce most of their torque at low rpms and maintain the torque and horsepower across a broad rpm range are ideal for the street. Having instant power beneath your right foot, regardless of whether you're cruising in fuel-saving Fifth-gear overdrive or automatic overdrive, is great to have in any custom classic pickup.
To create these potent powerplants, the shop inventories the best speed shop goodies in abundance. Combining that inventory with their years of experience and by using the same engine-building machines that Formula One, CART, and NASCAR teams use enables Smeding Performance to build fully balanced and blueprinted high-performance engines that provide awesome performance and bulletproof reliability.
Fittingly, a Ford engine from Smeding Performance will power the old Ford hauler that CCT's Feature Editor is building with his dad. Follow along as Smeding's crew makes a 351ci Windsor small-block Ford sing like a Ford 427ci bad boy by pumping up the volume to the tune of 427 stroked cubic inches!

From a bird's-eye view you can see one of the differences between the stock .030-over piston on the left and the .030-over 427ci stroker forged-alloy dished piston on the right. The stroker dished piston accommodates various valve sizes from the different aftermarket high-performance aluminum head manufacturers.Notice the stock .030-inch-over piston on the left has a wider piston skirt than the .030-inch-over 427ci stroker forged piston on the right, which is one of the ways the stroker piston achieves more cylinder volume. The lightweight forged stroker piston is also coated with Duroshield to reduce friction and increase piston life, and it is designed with the wrist pin below the oil ring for superior oil control.On the left, the cast-iron stock connecting rod pales in comparison next to the 4340 steel with 7/16-inch ARP-cap-bolts-equipped stroker connecting rod on the right. The stock connecting rod is 5.956 inches in length center to center, while the stroker connecting rod is 6.125 inches in length center to center.Compared with the stock performance crankshaft on the left, the "long arm" stroker crankshaft on the right is comprised of 4340 steel, provides a 4.170-inch piston stroke, and is balanced with a new 28-ounce flex plate and balancer.Check out how much beefier the stroker connecting rod bearing is on the right than the stock connecting rod bearing is on the left.The custom ground hydraulic roller Isky camshaft, as seen on the right, provides .544/.573 inches of lift and 238/248 degrees of duration at .050 inches.Since the Smeding shop starts with brand-new Ford SVO Sportsmen II 351W blocks with non-Siamese bores for superior cooling and a one-piece rear main seal, the beefier Fel-Pro head gaskets are used (as shown on the right). In fact, the stock head gaskets don't work with the Ford Sportsmen II block.For the 427ci Ford Smeding stroker engine, nothing less than roller lifters are good enough. Notice there are no rollers on the stock units on the left.Stock 351Windsor intake valves are 1.780 inches in diameter (on the left), while the Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum cylinder heads, which are employed on the Smeding 427ci stroker engine, utilize 2.05-inch diameter stainless steel intake valves. The stainless steel exhaust valves are 1.60 inches in diameter (not shown).
Technician Tony Bagatelos can pose for the camera and let the computer-controlled Rottler boring and decking machine do its thing. Tony programmed the boring machine to bore each cylinder .026 inches over. The base of each cylinder has already undergone minor grinding. This is done to clear the connecting rod bolts as they go by since a stroker crankshaft makes the throws swing wider.After swapping the cylinder boring apparatus for the decking component, Tony programmed the Rottler boring and decking machine to take .007 of an inch off the engine block's deck height. Three passes were made for each deck. The first two took off .003 of an inch, and the final pass removed .001 of an inch to yield a 9.5-inch deck height.Once the boring and decking machine has done its work, the block was moved to the Rottler honing machine. Tony programmed the machine to hone out the final .004-inch from each cylinder to yield a bore of 4.030 inches. The Rottler honing machine utilizes industrial (man-made) diamonds to do the honing and special water-soluble (eco-friendly) cutting fluid. By using the race-team used/proven Rottler machines, fully blueprinted engine blocks are produced.To balance the engine's bottom end within 1 gram, technician Dan Moody weighed each component of the rotating assembly. Both the big-end and small-end of each component were weighed and recorded, and then all were overall-weight-matched to the lightest one in the group of eight.Simulating each rod/ring/piston assembly, Dan bolted bob-weights to the crankshaft. Dan was about to spin the rotating assembly at speed. The computer revealed if there was any imbalance and how much.After spinning the rotating assembly at speed, the computer screen revealed that it was 150 grams out of balance (upper lefthand corner of screen). The green dot on the screen showed where weight needed to be drilled out of one of the crankshaft's counterweights.To balance the rotating assembly within 1 gram, Dan drilled 3 small holes in one of the crankshaft's counterweights. Remember, the computer screen also showed him where to remove the weight (the green dot).Both the intake and exhaust openings on the Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum cylinder heads have stepped valve seats. This picture reveals the stepped intake opening.
Notice how much smoother the radius is of the intake opening after the Newen machine has smoothed the edge. Doing this headwork to all the intake and exhaust openings will add approximately 10 horsepower.Around the spark plug openings, the Newen machine cannot be used. No worries, Ben smoothed out the area the old-fashioned way.Once the work has been performed, the cylinder heads were cleaned in an Alkali tank, which removes the aluminum shavings from the heads. After removing the heads from the tank, Ben used compressed air to speed the drying process.To fit the valves in the aluminum cy-linder heads, Ben first used synthetic as-sembly oil on the valves.Tony utilized a pneumatic valve spring compressor to install the valve springs and valve spring retainer stems in the heads.As used in racing applications, Ben installed double Spirolocks in each side of each piston to hold the wrist pins in place.Next, Ben installed the two piston rings. The bot-tom ring is designed to yield 24/1000 of an inch of clearance to the cylinder wall, while the top piston ring yields 21/1000 of an inch. Notice Ben used a piston ring tool to install the piston rings. Doing it by hand will distort the piston rings and rob the engine of up to 10 horsepower.
Ben measured the big-end opening of the connecting rod before insertion of the connecting rod bearing as shown.Before installing the crankshaft bearings, the bearings had to be chamfered to clear the racing stroker crankshaft. That explains why Ben has a chamfering tool in his hand while he installed the crankshaft bearings. Synthetic assembly oil then went on the crankshaft bearings, as it did with the camshaft, which Ben already installed (not shown).Ben installed the crankshaft. Before tightening each crankshaft cap bolt, he squirted some assembly oil along the shaft.To prevent any oil leaks, Ben used Loctite sealer to install the one-piece rear main seal. Woodruff Keys were used to align the balancer onto the crankshaft end, which Ben already installed.
Before fitment of the pistons within the cylinders, Ben coated the cylinder walls with engine oil. Using his trusty piston holder, he gently coaxed each forged stroker piston into its new home in the SVO Sportsmen II block.After each piston was put in place, the 7/16-inch ARP connecting rod cap bolts were tightened and torqued to stroker specifications to the 427 stroker crankshaft. A 4.030-inch bore and 4.17-inch stroke equates to 426.75 ci. For good reason, Smeding rounds the number off to the magical 427 ci.The roller lifter spider puts gentle tension on the roller guides. Ben put the spider in place next.With the Fel-Pro head gaskets already in place, Ben began to fit the Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum cylinder heads.
Putting the final touches to his masterpiece, Ben tightened and torqued the rocker arms. At this point, an Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum intake manifold is normally installed atop the block. However, this 427ci stroker engine will have fuel injection. Watch for the next article on the Smeding 427ci stroker in CCT. We'll be adding induction and testing the powerplant on an engine dynamometer.

Camilla, Georgia--September 19, 2012
Investigators with Georgia State Patrol say the high speed chase started with a routine traffic stop in Alabama.
"The vehicle refused to stop and in the process of him fleeing, struck a law enforcement vehicle in Abbeville and then proceeded to cross Georgia Lines," said Trooper Eric Brinson with Georgia State Patrol.
Behind the wheel was 26 year-old Matthew Bozell. Bozell was wanted for failing to register as a sex offender in Florida, where he's serving probation for sexual battery of a child. The chase came to a halt, alongside Georgia Highway 37 in Camilla., Georgia.
Investigators say Bozell hit speeds over 100 MPH when he misjudged a turn and crashed into a ditch.
Employees at a nearby office said they heard a lot of commotion and came outside to see what was going on."
"The guy flipped and he was in the ditch and he knocked a couple signs over," said Carole Csenar, a Camilla resident who works nearby. "I just wanted to make sure my sign was still up out here; it's still here!"
Phillip Formwalt also works nearby. He added, ""That is very disturbing to have sex offenders out and about without being registered and knowing where they are. You have to watch out for the children. They're our future."
Trooper Brinson said he charged Bozell for driving on a suspended license, reckless driving, and failure to maintain lanes.
Bozell was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital.
Once released, he will be booked at the Clay County Jail in Fort Gaines, Georgia.
He will also face more charges in the other counties he crossed.
[UPDATE] September 19, 2012- 3:10pm
A wanted sex offender in Florida is now in custody.
He took police on an hour-long chase, before crashing into a ditch.
According to Mitchell County Sherrif's Deputies, the chase started Tuesday evening in Abbeville, Alabama and ended in Camilla, Georgia--right at the intersection of Oakland Avenue and Georgia Highway 37.
26 year old Matthew Bozell was wanted for failing to register as a sex offender in Florida, where he's serving probation for sexual battery of a child.
Authorities in Southwest Georgia say the car Bozell was driving and crashed in the chase, was stolen from Palmetto, Florida.
He was taken to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany where he was treated for minor injuries.
Multiple units took part in the chase, including the Fort Gaines Police Department, Newton Police Department, Baker County Sheriff's Office, Camilla Police Department, and the Georgia State Patrol.
Because the chase covered multiple counties, authorities say Bozell will face numerous charges throughout Georgia.
Authorities have not yet released if Bozell has been transported from the hospital to jail yet. But they say when he is released, he will be booked at Clay County Jail in Fort Gaines, Georgia.
Camilla, GA (AP) - September 19, 2012

1970 Plymouth Super Bee - Bars and SpringsWritten by on July 17, 2007 A new suspension for an old dog
One of the things that Mopar musclecars are well known for-besides winning races-is the use of a torsion-bar front suspension. Instead of employing a coiled spring, like Ford and G.M., that supports the weight of the car by resting in a spring pocket and exerts pressure on the lower control arm, Chrysler's torsion bar was a far departure from that idea, but we don't need to tell you that.
What we do need to tell you is, that no matter how good something is, there is always a way to make improvements, and there is an alternative for Mopar musclecars. Let's preface this article by saying there is nothing wrong with the torsion-bar suspension in a factory car, but where do you draw the line? When do you realize that a torsion-bar suspension may be outdated for a particular usage?
When we started laying out a plan for our '70 Super Bee, we knew we wanted to do a modernized adaptation of a B-body. Sure, a stock resto has its place, and those cars are cool, but building a car that can handle in the corners, stop in a shorter distance than a football field, and still pound the quarter-mile in less than 11 seconds has definite appeal.
So that's what we are planning to do. This month, we will show you what it takes to install an AlterKtion K-frame with rack-and-pinion steering, and coilover shocks to replace the torsion bar. We're not going to stop there-we will also install a tilt steering column to add to the "21st century" appeal. We know you want to know how it works after it's installed, but as you look at the car, you can see it ain't gonna be running for a while. We're in the mock-up stage now, but as soon as we get this car done, you can bet they'll be a lot of track time involved, including some with corners.
The AlterKtion unit has several benefits over the factory K-frame and torsion bars. For starters, the kit is roughly 100-plus pounds lighter, and removing the torsion bars and steering box makes more room in the engine bay; it's actually a lot stiffer/stronger than the factory K-frame.
This job is really not that hard if you are mechanically inclined. But remember, if you aren't sure you can remember to tighten every nut and bolt, or you are just not sure about tackling a project like this, you better farm it out; it's better to be safe than sorry. It only took working a couple nights to complete the install. the only time we needed anything more than a hand wrench was when one of the camber bolts had rusted fast to the upper control-arm bushing, and we needed a flaming hacksaw.
(570) 443-7440

You have to remove the k-frame and suspension to do this swap. In a nutshell, remove the torsion bars, unhook the upper control arms, disconnect the brake lines, and then remove the four bolts holding the k-frame in place.The factory bumpstop brackets will need to be removed. Blair tools have a large assortment of these cutters in different sizes if you need.The kit comes with all the bushings and hardware needed; simply slide the lower control arm bushings in place.Both connection points of the lower control arm get end caps for the bushings, and then a large Grade-8 bolt runs through the lower control arm and frame unit. The set screw in the middle is to ensure the bolt shaft can't come out. Just another feature that Reilly Motorsports incorporated for added safety.
The shock tower on the outside of the framerail are a snug fit, but again, with an eye on safety, the kit comes with these plates that help support the shock tower from the inside.Simply drill two holes through the framerail using the shock tower as a guide. Put the two bolts through the shock mount, through the framerail, and then through the bracket. Just make sure not to overtighten the bolts.You'll need to assemble the shock unit, but that's simple. The area for the shock is also able to accept Air Ride bags if you plan on doing that. In our case, the adjustable coilovers are fine.The spindles are modified Mustang II units. They're easy to source, and work well with the forward-mounted rack-and-pinion steering. Plus, everyone has a disc brake setup for Mustang IIs. You can go from fairly stock to full-blown race applications.The rod ends are screwed into the control arm, the recommended amount, and then they simply install on your stock Camber bolts using the supplied spacers.For our application, we chose to use a nonpower steering rack. Reilly Motorsports also has a power unit available as an option. The rack simply bolts on the back side of the cross tube.
Here you can see the rack installed, and the sway bar on its way to being installed. The sway bar mounts to the front of the frame unit, and the end links are tabs welded to the lower control arms.Since the spindles are Mustang II pieces, the factory Mopar brakes will not work. We've had good luck with Stainless Steel Brakes products in the past, so we decided to use them again. first, install the caliper bracket.Next, make sure to pack the bearings for the rotor, install them and the seal, and mount them to the caliper. Remember, do not overtighten the bearing nut.Now just put the brake pads in the caliper, slide it into the bracket, and attach it with the supplied hardware. We are not running the brake lines yet, as this is all for mock-up before paint and body.With the factory column out of the car, it's time to mount our Flaming River tilt column. This is a fairly simple project. If the area around the column at the firewall looks familiar, that's because the factory firewall mounting plate for the factory column fits the Flaming river piece.
Before you finish mounting the steering column, have a buddy help you make sure that it's neither too far into the dash or too far out. One thing you can't see in any of these pictures is the absence of an ignition switch on the column, where it should be for a '70. we plan on installing a kill switch with a pushbutton to start the car. No key required.The engine needs to be mounted in the car before we begin to connect the column to the rack-and-pinion. Reilly Motorsports has dedicated engine mounts for their k-frame, and on some big-blocks, the boss near the mount may need a little modifying in order for the mount to fit.Once the mounts are installed, just drop the engine in place. Make sure the car is level before you begin. Once the car is level (as checked on the door sill), you can then level the engine.Talk about room, the headers literally fell into place. Now, you can mock the steering up around the engine and header.Once you find out how long a piece of steering shaft you need, start putting it all together. Remember, the shaft must not protrude into the universal joint. Keep it flush on the inside. Also, it's a good idea to dimple the shaft at each spot where the universal's set screws make contact.Here you can see the finished shaft. Do not have any universal joint working at more than a 35-degree angle, and if you have two universal joints, ALWAYS put a steering shaft support bearing in between them.

Ned Yost media session: May 16
Ned Yost met with the media this afternoon and a hot topic of discussion was Eric Hosmer. A question was asked about Hosmer's solid defense at first base and Yost immediately mentioned his offense as well, "Hosmer is swinging the bat very well and he's not getting much to show for it. This kid has probably got 17, 18 lineouts which is the difference between hitting .170 and .450. He is very unlucky right now." Hosmer found two holes last night against Texas for a single and a double, so hopefully his luck is turning for the good. Yost discussed how Hosmer has an advanced maturity for his age and he has not let this rough patch freak him out. "He has done a really good job controlling his emotions and not losing his confidence in his abilities," said Yost.
Jarrod Dyson is starting to understand what his tools are and use them to the best of his ability and he is doing a great job with it in the leadoff spot getting on base and scoring runs. "There is a huge difference in his approach and the way he is playing the game now compared to any time he came up last year," said Yost.
The Royals played very well in Chicago, but they lost the first game 5-0. Yost said, "I don't know why we haven't played good after an off-day or rainout." After that loss they came back the next day and won 5-0 and then played a great game on Sunday. Everybody felt good going into Texas knowing they were gaining some momentum and that carried over into a two-game sweep over the Rangers.

The Farmville Central Watering Malawi Club will hold a Walk For Water event this Saturday in hopes of raising enough money to build a well in the small African country.
The walk will start at 10:00 a.m. with registration at 9:00 a.m.
There will be a $10.00 registration fee for everyone who would like to participate in the walk -- $5.00 for kids 12-years-old and under; $25.00 for families of 4 or more.
The walk will be 2 miles long, beginning at Farmville Central High School. Carson Banks, club president, says, "This walk will serve as a symbolic representation of the walk that the women and children in Malawi must endeavor every day just to access the little water that is available."
Participants will have the opportunity to carry empty jugs to the fountain in downtown Farmville, fill the containers with water, and carry the water back to the school.
Banks says it costs between $5,000 and $6,000 to build a well in Malawi.
Watering Malawi advocates long-term solutions to extreme poverty and hunger through access to clean water, simple irrigation, and sanitation systems.
For more information about the walk, you can call (252) 414-8794.

I would have to agree with the Rivers West comments. It's as waterproof as it gets. Great for stand hunting but way to hot for any hiking or packing.

Check out the Under Armour Ridge Reaper gear. I absolutely love this jacket. Has a lot of great features and its comfortable to boot.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Anyone reviewed the Sitka Kelvin jacket? Its a down jacket. I tried one on this past weekend. Felt very warm and its obviously very light being made of down. Probably not gonna hold up to a lot of wear and tear but for the weight conscious backpacking hunter it seems pretty slick if you coupled it with a lightweight set of rain gear. Any experienced thoughts on this jacket?
Team Backcountry
My go-to backcountry system includes Patagonia Capilene underwear, Patagonia R1 fleece pullover, Sitka 90% jacket, and REI Kimtah jacket with Event fabric.
My Sitka 90% is the older, thicker version with the zip-off hood. I prefer it to the new, thinner model. It is my shell most of the time, until it really poors, then the REI Kimtah comes out. The Kimtah is awesome: super light, totally waterproof, and unlike any GoreTex jacket I have tried the Event fabric actually, really breathes. It doesn't have pit zips, because you don't need them. Some hunting clothing company needs to jump on the Event bandwagon, and soon.
The R1 pullover has the highest warmth-to-thickness ratio of any garment I've tried. It is really warm, but still thin enough to easily layer. I actually have several of the pullovers and the pants. They are awesome.
The KUIU guide jacket
I have the KUIU guide vest, awesome piece and if I didn't already the Sika jetstream and Celsius jacket, I would own the guide jacket !
Tested my jacket this weekend on my first scout trip. It was 17* outside at 4:30a with new snow. Put the jacket on and took off on the quad.
Windproof indeed, couldnt feel the breeze through the jacket as I was screaming down the roads to make first light
With a base layer and that coat I was perfect at 5am when the sun broke while glassing on the side of the ridge.
I have Arteryx and love it, but it is not camo. The recent rave reviews seem to be going for the gear from Kuiu for ultralight hunting gear.


text: After many years of applying in Nevada, I finally drew a late season archery tag in the Rubies (101L). Only the last 7 years I could afford to let go of the license fee to earn a NR point. I hope this is a good tag, it was my last choice? I have never had the fortune of hunting this famous area or even Nevada for that matter. Can anyone give me a starting point? I don't mean your secret honey hole drainage where all the big bucks come down to rut, but maybe a general area? Any help would be appreciated.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - I never thought I'd say this, but I miss
the NHL.
Here it is, nearly Christmas, and we've yet to see a puck drop in any city
Yes, there's minor league ice hockey and some NHL players have headed to
Europe to ply their trade and stay in shape.
Staying in shape for what, I'm not quite sure, but maybe one day soon this
whole labor deal will be solved and the lockout will be unlocked and the NHL
will return to its likely place.
That place is not very high up the food chain as far as major sports in this
country are concerned, but the NHL was making inroads and gaining popularity.
That surge in popularity is likely gone with this season being turned into a
disaster by the powers that be.
Perhaps the NHL, if it does play a shortened season, can ignite a little

Perhaps all concerned will cash in their chips and say see you in October for

NHL aside, the lockout of the icemen got me wondering.
Wondering where we would be if every sport, at the same time, stopped playing.
Be it lockout or strike, where would we be if all the pro sports went away at
the same time?
For argument's sake, or in this case, for this column's sake, let's set the

A week later, when the NFL is all set to open its season on a Tuesday night,

thing as does the NBA.
Boom. The four biggies have all gone away.
What would we do?
And what would we do when they came back?
(Again, just play along. Of course this would never all happen at the same
time, but it is kind of interesting to think about).
Now, back to our questions.
What would we do if it all where gone at the same time?
Would we rake more leaves? Or spend more time with our families? Maybe we'd
start an exercise program. Heck, maybe we'd even read more books (real ones,
not on a Kindle).
Would ESPN, which would be showing any and all college basketball and college
ice hockey games, bring back Australian Rules Football, too?
Be honest, back in the day, was there anything more fun to watch late at night
than that dude in the suit pointing at the ground when a goal (touchdown?) was
scored. Admit it that was kind of cool.
And maybe the Americas Cup would be revived by being broadcast by ESPN like
the old days.
Like Aussie Rules Football, none of us would still have any idea what was
actually happening, or who might be winning, but we might watch for
nostalgia's sake.
(Come to think of it, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. I'm
kidding about that, I think).
Fans always say when such and such a sport is being withheld that they'll
return when it does. Well, that's pretty much a lie. We come back, we always
Some of us will remain angry for a little while, and claim we'll no longer buy
a ticket and support that team and owner, but we will.
Our sports get taken away from time to time, it's NHL hockey now, and it will
be another one down the road, that's for sure. Let's just not lose them all at
the same time. That wouldn't be good for anybody.

The City of Portland federal stormwater permit requires Portland to reduce stormwater pollution, and manage other programs to protect water quality in rivers and streams, protect watershed health, and protect groundwater as a drinking water resource. Environmental Services administers the city's stormwater permit and coordinates the city's response to the Water Pollution Control Facilities (WPCF) permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The WPCF permit requires the city to develop and implement a UIC management plan (UICMP) that prevents, minimizes, and controls pollutants at the surface before stormwater infiltrates into the ground. Portland finances stormwater management services by collecting public utility fees on developed property, and system development charges (SDCs) on new development. Read more....

Olivia Dabo
Birth Name: Olivia Dabo

Birth Place: London, England, GB
Despite her still noticeable British accent on talk show appearances, d'Abo has mastered a variety of American accents for her many TV and film roles. She first acted for the cameras when she was 13, in a TV commercial, and two years later was celebrating her 15th birthday on the set of "Conan the Destroyer" (1984), in which she had a solid co-starring role as the virginal princess. D'Abo is best known to TV audiences as Karen Arnold, the hippie older sister on "The Wonder Years" (ABC, 1988-92) who personified the restless youth of the late 1960s, wearing headbands and bell bottoms, and cutting school for "love-ins". She has since often been cast as free spirits and sexpots, but has managed ...

Police say the shooting happened around 6:30 at the intersection of 5th Street and 49th Avenue. Lt.

Birth Place: St Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
Born on Nov. 29, 1954 in St. Louis Park, MN, Joel was the first born brother, followed by Ethan three years later. Both grew up in an academic home - their father, Edward, was an economics professor at the University of Minnesota, and their mother, Rena, was an art history professor at St. Cloud State. Growing up, the Coen Brothers displayed exceptional intelligence that somehow managed to translate into mediocre grades, thanks in part to a minor obsession with watching movies on television. In their early teens, the Coens mowed lawns and saved their money to buy a Super-8 camera, which they used to remake several of their favorite films, including "Naked Prey" and "Lassie Come Home."

ESPN reporter Jenn Brown will be inducted into the Bishop Moore High School Hall of Fame along with Minnesota Twins Drew Butera Thursday, Oct. 14. In just 29 years, she has amassed an impressive list of accomplishments.
Brown holds the school record for most varsity letters by an athlete with 14 and competed in seven sports during her tenure with the Hornets athletic program: cross country, volleyball, diving, bowling, basketball, softball and track. She earned a scholarship to the University of Florida where she competed for the Gators softball team before continuing a successful career in television with the E! channel, Showtime Sports and ESPN.
Jenn Brown replaced another former Florida Gator graduate Erin Andrews on Thursday night's College Football Primetime on ESPN this season.
"I'm so thankful to Bishop Moore High School and all of my coaches and teammates," Brown said via press release. "They understood my dream of breaking this record (most letters in school history) and helped paved the way in my becoming who I am today. If not for them it wouldn't have been possible. And of course I want to thank my mom, who taught me to always go after my dreams. I congratulate my fellow inductees and I wish I could be there. Obviously I have a commitment to my work on ESPN's weekly Thursday series, but I will be there in spirit."

Interviewing beyond words
Media | How journalists can effectively elicit answers to their questions
(Fifth in an occasional series on journalism. See "The Christian journalist," May 25, 2013; "The joy of Christian journalism," Aug. 24, 2013; "Moving from suite-level to street level," Nov. 2, 2013; and "Storytelling from simple to complex," March 8, 2014.)
Our 16th annual World Journalism Institute course for college students and recent graduates begins Monday, and in the course of our intensive look at articles they've written we'll discuss how reporters get good material by interviewing. Here are a few tips, starting with one that seems counter-intuitive:
The goal of an interview is not primarily to elicit words.
One master reporter, Richard Ben Cramer, said this about a common journalistic error: "I've been interviewed a lot during book tours. I see how newspaper people, in particular, do it. They'll ask you a question. And as you start to talk they bend their heads to their notebooks and try to get down every word. They barely look at you again for 45 minutes. Now that's entirely the wrong way to get any sense of anybody!"
What are other wrong ways? Some newspaper reporters conduct interviews to check off a name on a list, to get a story-"balancing" quotation. Others play journalistic ventriloquism. That's where the reporter quotes a source saying what the reporter believes but will not say either because his organization does not allow him to express an opinion, or because he lacks the courage to say it himself.
Think about the three main ways journalists get information: They see for themselves, they ask others what they have seen for themselves, and they ask others what they know and trust about what others have seen for themselves. Good interviews serve all three purposes: The interviewer sees how interviewees answer hard or unexpected questions, hears the anecdotes they tell, and probes for additional information and sources.
This is why the ability to conduct good interviews is key: In this lesson we'll see how to get information that goes beyond words.
Master reporters work hard to see in action someone they are profiling. As Michael Lewis put it, "Characters are always so much more interesting when they are moving through space than they are when they are at rest (especially when they are behind a desk in their office). Even when what they're doing is irrelevant to what I'm writing about, I just want to participate in something with them."
When it comes to words, the goal is to move the interviewee to tell stories. If he says someone is generous, push for an anecdote that shows generosity. Remember: Specificity is felicity. Write truck, not vehicle; write Ford truck, not truck; write Ford Ranger, not Ford truck. In pushing for descriptive information always ask for names, dates, times, colors, locations, ages, numbers: What exactly did you see? What did he look like?
No time to visit a maximum-security prison, or no access to one? Get a description from a trustworthy guard. Writing about an earthquake? Get a graphic description from someone who was there. No, make that more than one person, for just as we need two eyes for depth perception, so we need the testimony of two or more reliable witnesses before settling for detail garnered from afar.
Always press for specifics. If a person says, "I was worried, and I was praying," get specifics: "What were you praying? Were you praying out loud? What did you say?" Press for lively quotations and push interviewees to use metaphors or similes by asking, "What was it like"? If the subject has said something substantively interesting but in a bland way, rephrase questions and see if on second try you get a livelier response.
Remember, you will only get specific detail about what the interviewee has seen if you ask for it. Do not ask a bland, "What was it like," but "What did the punch feel like?" Not "What makes you happy," but "What was the happiest moment of your life?" Not "Was that a hard day?" but "What was the worst experience of your life?"
Superlative questions—happiest, worst—make an interviewee think. Weird questions also function that way. Kramer and Call, in Telling True Stories, write about asking "six men who were crossing Antarctica on foot—and almost died in the process—whether Antarctica was male or female, and why. The question helped them relate to the continent in a new and personal way. Ask people what they worry about most or who matters most to them or what makes them most afraid. Always follow these abstract questions with concrete ones to elicit specific anecdotes."
Interviews are sometimes fishing expeditions and sometimes searches for specific information and insights. You should develop a particular line of questioning, depending on the intent of the article, and should also ask general questions that allow interviewees to open up entirely new areas of which they may be unaware. Sometimes interviews can lead you in a direction very different from that you anticipated—but you still need to anticipate.
Planning for an interview starts with thinking about what an article should include, and what you need from the interview to make a story and fill in the gaps. Write down the information needed; structure questions accordingly. Think to yourself, "The story is X, so I need Y." Remember that your goal in interviewing is not to be a megaphone for the interviewee but to get what you need to write your story. Know what you will ask. You are in charge of the interview.
While pushing hard for specific material, retain flexibility. Be prepared to change your theme if your initial assumptions appear incorrect. Be careful not to put words into the interviewee's mouth. At the same time, guide the interview enough so that the interviewee will not neglect your theme.
Whether you are interviewing a friend or a foe, follow the standard that is used for arms-control agreements: Trust, but verify. Remember that the interviewee, no matter how famous, is not God. Remember also that the interviewee, regardless of his actions, is not a cockroach. If you have reason to suspect the interviewee's honesty, ask some questions to which you already know the answers, and see if he is telling the truth. If he tells you something different from what you have heard, challenge him.
Plan how you will respond if the interviewee asks to go off the record. Basic rules: Never volunteer to go off the record, fight to stay on it, and, if necessary, explain your editor's dislike for the practice. Off-the-record conversations may be necessary when a source's health or job are in jeopardy, but remember that you are working for the readers, not carrying mail for the interviewee. Remember that you will have to tell readers the reason for going off-the-record with particular sources; a statement such as, "The source preferred to be off-the-record," does not wash. If necessary, indicate to the source how his comments may be used, without making a commitment.
When a source asks to go off-the-record, find out what he means by that: information to be used for your background only, information that can be used but not attributed at all, information that can be attributed not by name but to "a source in the xyz department," or what? Unattributed quotations that disparage a person are worthless, unless you have lots of on-the-record quotations saying similar things.
Long-distance interviewing
What if we're writing a story from afar, and all we're hearing over the phone are words? Does that leave us with insufficient descriptive material and narrative, talking heads but not moving feet? Maybe, but here's the way out: Interview trustworthy people who can become proxy eyes, and elicit from them the type of specific detail that we could see were we there.
To get specific detail, we need to push. For example, when interviewing a young mother who has made the transition from salaried professional to full-time mom, settling for a vague statement about tighter budgets is dull. Much better to probe for the concrete and elicit a statement like this: "I buy store brands. I compare prices. When we buy a car, we won't buy the Volvo, which would be our vehicle of choice if we were both still working. Instead, we'll go with a less expensive four-door domestic." The reporter's telephoning goal is to elicit stories, anecdotes, and specifics: "I don't go for Del Monte, I'll get Pathmark on some things. I buy generic dishwasher detergent. I've found that generic corn chips are OK, too."
In short, the skilled questioner will make the respondent an ally in writing the story. Experienced reporters ask their subjects for help in making important points clear to their audience. The etiquette of telephone interviewing sometimes involves calling the interviewee to set up a time for questioning. When making such a request, it's good to say, "I'd like to ask you about x, y, and z" (not just, "I'd like an interview") and to specify how much time is needed.
Interviewing by phone is hard but it does have some advantages. We can look regularly at our lists of questions. (We should also have a list for in-person interviews, but the goal there should be eye contact with the interviewee, not a notebook.) In either situation, we start with easier questions and be prepared to move away from the list as the conversation dictates. We should listen much and speak little.
Magazine writer Richard Preston: "While the conventional wisdom is that it is always better to do an interview face-to-face, I've often found that people are actually more forthcoming over the phone because they are not distracted by looking at you to see how you are reacting to what they say. Over the phone they are speaking in the comfort of their home or office."
In-person interviewing for profiles is generally superior to proceeding by telephone and email, but sometimes (generally for reasons of time and money) we can't do an in-person visit. In those situations we need to ask interviewees to be our eyes and ears, offering not only analysis but description. But some journalists prefer asking tough questions over the phone. Journalist Susan Orlean: "I once had to ask someone about incest in his family. It was the hardest question I've ever had to ask, so I waited until we were on the phone."
Especially in phone interviews, we're asking interviewees to help us, and sometimes we can be explicit: "Help me create a picture for the reader." Don't just settle for, "I walked up the hill." Ask: What was the grass like? Weeds? Flowers? Was it hot? Did you sweat? What did it sound like? Were you excited? Tense?
Interviewing the tongue-tied
With reluctant interviewees, questioners may have to follow the information-eliciting techniques learned by parents: avoid questions that can be answered yes or no; encourage the recalcitrants to go further by asking, "And then? What happened next?" When stuck, ask five-W questions: "Who taught you that? What did you read that was influential? When? Where? Why?"
Storytelling: In The New New Journalism, Alex Kotlowitz recalls asking one interviewee, "'Tell me about the moment you got the phone call about Eric's death.' When he answered that question he started to relive the experience. … I walked him through every minute: What he did, what he said, what he thought, what he was wearing. I want him to go into so much detail that I could close my eyes and see the events as if I had been there with him. Now if I had simply said, 'Tell me about Eric's death,' he would have said something vague like, 'Well, it was a terrible thing.'" Kotlowitz adds, "I ask my subject to tell me a story … it's after people tell me their tales that I begin to poke and prod. The more specific they get, the more reflective and truthful they become."
After an interview has elicited stories, it's time to get more of a sense of what he believes—and confrontational questions can sometimes help. The pointed-question list of Jeff Myers, who leads Summit Ministries, includes: "Why do you believe that you are right? So what? Why is this significant? How do I know you are telling me the truth? Why should I believe you? How did you come to this conclusion? What's an alternate explanation? Could you give me two sources who disagree with you? Why do they disagree?"
Myers has sometimes truncated those questions to a list of four deadly ones, asked sequentially: What do you mean by that? Where do you get your information? How do you know you're right? What happens if you're wrong? Some interviewers like to ask broad questions: "How is this affecting you? What are some of the things that you enjoy doing? What would you like to see happen?" I've found that those tend to evoke overly general answers, so it's better to ask for superlatives: "What is your most pressing issue? What is one thing you cannot fail to do? What is your greatest concern? For what one thing would you like most to be remembered?"
Do not worry about conversational pauses, unless you are interviewing someone for radio. When the in-person interviewee is not answering your question, just stare at him; eye contact helps to elicit response. Expectant silence is also helpful.
Radio and television have led us to believe that every second of airtime must be filled with talk, but good interviewing (like good professor-student interaction) requires patience. Chattering interviewers tend to blurt out several questions at a time, but that gives subjects the opportunity to dodge the toughest one. Other typical errors include making statements rather than asking questions, and asking yes/no questions. Remember, the goal is to elicit stories, not grunts.
A few more suggestions: Talk little, listen much, and listen for what isn't said. With a well-known interviewee, wake him up by starting with a question that's unusual. Watch the interviewee's body language and make eye contact. Check the spelling of his name, title, and affiliation. Re-ask questions if the content of the answer is significant but the subject offered it in a meandering way. Experienced journalists who are taking notes and need a little more time to record a response don't worry about pausing—but if you do worry, ask a question that will yield an unimportant response so you can get the exact wording on what was important.
Concluding words about interviewing
Although the following should go without saying, remember basic manners. Reporters have such a reputation for rudeness that you can win respect by not staying overly long, by saying thank you, and by not using a person's first name unless invited to do so.
Some interviewees are not particularly personable, but you should avoid getting too friendly with those who are, or being influenced by the interviewee's apparent friendliness. Some interviewees will push you to talk about yourself, but do not spend valuable time in that way: Turn the questions back on the interviewee. Some journalists advise interviewers to pretend to be on the interviewee's side—but that, if you are not, is lying.
Two questions with which to end an interview: What questions should I have asked that I didn't? Who else should I interview, and why? When you leave an interviewee, carry away whatever trophies you can: copies of speeches, articles, books. Be a pack rat. You'll enjoy throwing away stuff when the article goes to press.
The worst interviews are often email ones, because questions cannot be adjusted to take into account responses to answers. Instant message interviewing is better, combining flexibility and the advantages of having a written record of the dialogue, instead of having to transcribe it.
Bottom line: When possible, avoid formal interviews. Here's the testimony of three more experts. Lawrence Wright says, "I like to see people where they work and live." Jonathan Harr tries "to do interviews in the character's own environment, whether that's an office, home, laboratory, courtroom—anywhere he spends time. I notice what books are on the shelves, what paintings are on the walls, how they keep their house, what kind of car they drive."

CLEVELAND -- The Newtown killings have many people talking about a need to reconsider more regulations on guns and ammunition.
State Representative Bill Patmon is hoping that momentum will boost the chances of passing three legislative proposals that died in the last session and still face an uphill fight in a legislature more supportive of gun rights than gun restrictions.
"Sandy Hook opened a lot of eyes...Absolutely, it's a new day," Patmon said.
His three proposals are :
Patmon says all Ohio schools should look at the experience of Cleveland schools, where metal detectors have helped prevent serious incidents since the Success Tech shootings in October 2007.
Last term, lawmakers passed a measure allowing conceal/carry permitted guns in the statehouse garage.
Governor John Kasich resisted calls to veto it.
"We don't want to erode the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. That's important," he said.
Realistically, Patmon thinks the measure that has the best odds of getting support is the one about gun security.
The one least likely to pass, he believes, is the proposal dealing with signage.
"I've had a bit of hate mail on that one," he said.
A new legislature is sworn in Monday.
A spokesperson for Republican Speaker Bill Batchelder said it's too soon to discuss the prospects of Patmon's bills saying, "The speaker usually likes to discuss proposed legislation with his team first."

Unsustainable trade in wildlife is one of the central threats to biodiversity as it concerns thousands of plant and animal species, and can push them close to extinction. This issue affects a wide range of live animals and plants as well as a vast array of products derived from them, including food, fur, leather goods, musical instruments, timber, tourist souvenirs, perfumes, and medicines.
How can CITES help?
Wildlife trade is big business, estimated to be worth billions of dollars annually. As wildlife and its products cross borders between countries, extra efforts and international cooperation are necessary to regulate it and safeguard certain species from over-exploitation.
CITES accords protection to more than
CITES was conceived in the spirit of such cooperation. It entered into force in 1975 and today has 177 Parties. It is both a conservation treaty and a trade treaty. It aims to ensure that international trade in wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival and further contribute to the current extinction crisis.
Decisions taken at CITES meetings have not only ecological impacts but also strong economic and social ones: commercially-important species such as fish, which are commonly traded both for consumption and for use in aquaria, are gaining an increasingly prominent place on the Parties' agenda. CITES' decisions are legally binding and are accompanied by enforcement measures and sanctions.
How does CITES work?
CITES grants varying degrees of protection to more than 33,000 species of traded animals and plants, through a system of permits and certificates. The species of concern are included in one of three lists, which are called Appendices.
|CITES Appendices
|Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction. Trade in these plants and animals is permitted only in exceptional circumstances, such as for research.
Appendix II includes species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but for which trade must be controlled in order to avoid threats to their survival.
Appendix III lists species that are protected in at least one country, which has asked for assistance in controlling the trade.
How is CITES work related to the Convention on Biological Diversity?
Implementing decisions taken by the CITES Convention requires ensuring links to other relevant biodiversity conventions. The link with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is particularly strong. CITES helps to protect wild animals and plants threatened by global trade and safeguard their natural environments, which helps to fulfill the objectives of the CBD: conservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of its components and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. The work of CITES is therefore essential to support achievement of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In turn, the activities of the CBD also complement the work of CITES.
What is IUCN's role with CITES?
IUCN was instrumental in creating CITES and it has attended and contributed to CITES meetings since the inception of the agreement. The Convention itself began as a result of a resolution that was passed at an IUCN meeting in Nairobi in 1963.
For every CITES conference, IUCN together with TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, prepares the Analyses of the Proposals to Amend the Appendices. These are objective assessments of whether the proposals to change the listing of species meet the necessary trade and biological criteria.
A strong delegation of IUCN experts will be present at this year's CITES conference in Bangkok, Thailand, providing scientific information on species status and helping the Parties make well-informed decisions. IUCN acts as an advocate for species conservation and the potential role that CITES can play in helping to support this.

THE weekend is here.
The Royals and the Redbirds. We swept them last week on their side of the state. They were missing a few key players who are back and looking for revenge this week. We're ramping up to have a huge weekend here at the K. It's the "Eye"-70 Series 2008 2.0, presented by Silverstein Eye Centers, and to get inside the match up, let's go around the horn…
Gil Meche is on the hill tonight. Meche leads a Royals team that's playing some of its best baseball of the season. They are still the hottest team in baseball, winning 10 of their last 11 (along with the Twins). The Royals and their division foes to the far North also share the distinction of the best interleague record in the Majors.
With one of their top twirlers on the mound, the Royals are looking for a season series win over the Cards and the positive end to this homestand. Meche's strikeout numbers, a key to his success, have seen a jump in the last month. He's punched out 51 batters in his 49 and two thirds innings, including 10 a few weeks back in Arizona. Over his last 11 starts, he has a 3.69 ERA.
He's been solid of late and he will look to continue his run of strong starts tonight in his second career appearance against the Cards.
Tomorrow in front of an already sold out crowd, Mitchell Boggs (2-0, 5.40) goes against Kyle Davies (3-0, 3.12). Davies downed St. Louis last week with 7 strong innings of work. As a note to those lucky enough to have tickets, the Royals are asking everyone to be in there seats by 5:45 p.m. for the special pre-game ceremonies of Art Stewart's Hall of Fame induction. Tomorrow, we'll talk a little about Art and what he's meant to this organization and Sunday we'll have a full recap of the ceremony plus the second installment of Touch 'em All, this time with Hall of Fame portrait artist John Martin.
Then on Sunday for the final game of the series and the nine-game homestand, Braden Looper (9-5, 4.22) draws the Royals daytime dominator, Brian Bannister (7-8, 4.47). Bannister is 5-1 during day games this season and opponents are batting .228 against him under the sun.
The Royals offense is here and in gear. They are hitting .278 over the last 13 games with 30 doubles, 2 triples and 15 home runs. Going homerless on Wednesday, the Royals have still hit 30 in their last 24 games and at least one in 10 of their last 13 contests. The team's 47 extra-base hits over 13 games are tied for fifth in the Majors over that span.
Ross Gload, David DeJesus and John Buck all have longer hitting streaks coming into tonight's game with DeJesus looking add on to his Major League leading .451 average with runners in scoring position. Only one other player (Cleveland's Casey Blake at .415) in either league is hitting over .400 in that situation right now.
As we mentioned with the Rockies in town earlier this week, Hal McRae, a Royals Hall of Famer, is the Cards hitting coach (McRae wears No. 8 for the Cards but wore No. 11 here in KC)…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-game press conference: Mark Grudzielanek is making a return to the lineup after missing a few games with a sore lower back…Also of note: Jose Guillen is at DH tonight because of some leg trouble which has been bothering him off and on for a while…The Royals on-going chat series will have another installment on Tuesday. Royals' Senior Director of Scouting, Deric Ladnier, will be online at 3 p.m. CT to take questions from fans.
Our Diamond of Dreams charity event took place last night. We'll have specific figures as soon as we can about the attendance and the money that was raised for the Dream Factory, but we'd like to thank Dodge, the event's primary sponsor along with Teva Neuroscience, Sliverstein Eye Centers, VML, Tiffany & Co., Sprint, Swiss Re, Fox Sports Net, HOK, Aramark, Better Ideas, Budweiser, C&C Produce, Glazer's, Hitchin Post, Larry Moore, Miller Brewing Co., Pepsi, Shotbee Photography, Sysco Foods, The ZEROS, US Food Service, Village Gardens and all of the volunteers who helped. We'll have a full report and pics up soon, so please check back.

22nd Hot Rod Nationals Launches Goodguys Summer Racing SeasonWritten on May 24, 2010
Clermont, IN - The Goodguys 22nd Hot Rod Nationals is set to blast off June 11, 12 & 13 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, officially kicking off another hi-revving trio of vintage drag races for the Goodguys/VRA. The Hot Rod Nationals kicks off a three-race series for vintage drag racers which includes the Hot Rod Nationals, the 9th Blue Suede Cruise August 20-22 in Norwalk, OH and the 3rd Nostalgia Nationals October 15-17 in Bowling Green, KY.
The Hot Rod Nationals is one of the country's largest vintage hot rodding events combining a massive car show with over 4,000 '72 & earlier rods, customs, muscle cars and classics with a weekend long vintage drag race on O'Reilly Raceway Park's vaunted drag strip. Vendor exhibits, a swap meet, car corral, special awards and live entertainment round out the festive weekend.
A well rounded field of over 20 entries is confirmed in both Nostalgia Top Fuel and Nostalgia Funny Car. Both classes will be run as 8-car open shows with qualifying sessions scheduled for Friday, June 11th at 3pm and Saturday, June 12th at NOON. The first round for both Top Fuel and Funny Car eliminations is scheduled for 3:30pm Saturday afternoon with final eliminations commencing Sunday morning the 13th at 10am.
The Nostalgia Top Fuel field is led by defending event co-champions (due to a rained out final last year) Denver Schutz in the "Raisin Express II" and Howard Haight in the "Nitrodiction" entry out of upstate New York. "Radar" Roger Lechtenberg returns this year behind the wheel of Dale & Kat Suhr's Waterloo, Iowa based "Orange Crate" top fueler - no doubt a threat to the top two. Other entries include Brendan Murry's "Runnin' Wild" from San Jose, CA, Muscatine, Iowa's Kevin Brewer, Randy Bridges, Butch Blair's "Fugowie", Ernest McClain's Chevy powered entry from Delaware, local hopeful Keith "Roo Man" Burgan, "Diamond" Dave Miller in the "Telstar" dragster and long time veteran Joe Krupinski.
In Nostalgia Funny Car action, defending co-champions champion Paul Romine and Shawn Bowen look to renew their unfinished business from last year's rain out. Other confirmed entries include Justin Grant's "Stardust" 'Cuda, Anthony Bronge's "Punisher" '69 Camaro, Steve Nichols' "Mill Road Boys" '70 Camaro, Peter Gallen's "Poverty Stricken" Vega, Troy Martin's "Chi Town Hustler" Dodge Charger, Danny Miller's "Rear Gears" '70 Maverick and coming in from California is Bob Godfrey's "Burn-N-Money" '69 Camaro.
In all, 12 Sportsman classes including Pro Comp, B/GAS, Nostalgia Gas, Nostalgia Comp and Hot Rod Eliminator will also be contested. Exhibition classes include the popular Nostalgia Super Stockers, Nostalgia Pro Stock and the always-wild "Geezer Gassers." The popular Street Rod Shootout 1/8th mile competition, which crowns the fastest street rods and hot rods from the car show side of the event, will take place Saturday at 11:30am!

Francis Marion wants to use Hale campus for a few years
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 1:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 1:04 p.m.
Francis Marion Military Academy wants to move to the Hale Academy campus after Hale closes its doors in June. The charter school hopes to stay there about four years while it builds a new $2 million facility.
Reaching an agreement will be complicated, because the College of Central Florida Foundation owns the property and Hale Academy owns much of the furnishings and supplies, some of which have been promised to another private school.
Despite the complicated situation, Francis Marion board member Charles deMenzes said the idea "looks promising" after preliminary discussions with CF and Hale.
Hale founder Doug Cone said many supplies have been promised to Cornerstone School, also a non-denominational private school.
Officials will meet to determine what supplies and technology will be left at the Hale campus, located behind the college on Southwest 20th Street.
Before a sex scandal involving Hale's former top administrator, Melissa Cook, surfaced in October, the board of directors at Hale and Cornerstone discussed a merger, Cone noted. It was decided neither campus could accommodate both school enrollments, thus merger talks ended.
Hale opened in 2000; lagging enrollment was blamed for its demise.
Francis Marion officials said holding classes at the Hale site for four years would give them adequate time to develop their new school site.
Though the seven-acre Hale campus is not big enough to support long-term plans for the military school, which one day could include barracks, it is big enough for the near future.
The Francis Marion board purchased 16 acres in northeast Ocala for $257,000 about a year ago. The school's administrator, Col. Bill Archibald, said the Hale site is a more centralized location that could provide the charter school more visibility in the short term.
"This would be very good for us," Archibald said.
Cone said ultimately the "CF Foundation must sign off on any new tenants" and discussions could take up to six weeks to complete.
Joan Stearns, a CF vice president who oversees the foundation, is aware of Francis Marion's interest, Cone said. CF is closed for spring break and Stearns could not be reached for comment.
Francis Marion officials had hoped their $2 million campus just west of Northeast 19th Avenue, about a mile north of Northeast 14th Street, would have been completed by August. But delays in permitting and financing have delayed the opening.
The Francis Marion campus is currently operating at 2091 NE 35th St. — School Board property known as the "Phoenix Center." The charter school is leasing portables there until the new campus can be built.
The school district is planning to open its own alternative school at the Phoenix Center site when Francis Marion leaves the property.
The district-operated K-12 alternative school would end contracted services with Kingsbury Academy and Silver River Mentoring and Instruction, which officials estimate would save $1 million annually.
Meanwhile, Francis Marion officials are gearing up for one of its annual fundraisers needed to offset school operating expenses.
The Swamp Fox Spring Fling will be held April 6 at the Ocala Shrine Club, 4301 SE Maricamp Road, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., deMenzes said.
The fling is a family event that will include a chili cookoff, a classic car show and children's games.
Go to the school's event website — www.swampfoxevents.com — or call deMenzes at 352-843-7790 for more information, to sign up a chili team or to enter a vehicle in the car show.

Born in Los Angeles, CA on July 24, 1982, Elisabeth Moss gravitated toward acting from an early age. Inspired to pursue an acting career at by her screen idol, Bette Davis, Moss made her acting debut at age six with a small role in "Lucky/Chances" (CBS, 1990), a miniseries based on the novel by Jackie Collins.
