Now entering its third decade, the Bridgeville Apple-Scrapple Festival regularly pulls in 25,000 people who come for the pork and the fruit but stay for the family atmosphere and fun.
Here are a few events not to be missed:
1 Ladies Skillet Toss (1 p.m.)
Laboring over a hot stove with heavy pans, the constant stirring motion of some recipes and the weight of some ingredients can make for quite a workout some days. Why not put some of those muscles to work and show your stuff in the Ladies Skillet Toss? The contest involves heaving an 8-inch, cast iron skillet as far as you can and takes place in the practice field behind Woodbridge High School. There are two categories: 18-to-40 or 41-and-older and proof of age is required. Those interested can register between noon and 12:45 p.m.
2 Mayor's Scrapple Sling (2 p.m.)
With all the mud-slinging going on in this year's election, wouldn't it be fun to see a few local and regional politicians sling something else for a change? That's what happens with the Mayor's Scrapple Sling, a shuffleboard-style contest that sends fake scrapple flying, as competitors vie for a pig-adorned trophy. Local lore has it that past winners are pretty protective of their status and hate to admit defeat, making it the perfect festival spectator sport. The King of Sling will be crowned after the event, which runs from 2 to 3 p.m.
3 Down and dirty on the farm (all day)
T.S. Smith and Sons Farm, Delaware's oldest apple producer, will throw open the gates and give people a first-hand look at life on the farm. Take a behind-the-scenes wagon tour that explains apple growing and harvesting or play farmer for the day and pick your own apples. Be sure to stop by "The Packing House" to check out the freshly made apple cider donuts, homemade dumplings and various other locally grown items. There will also be a puppet show (10:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.), cider press demonstrations, live bluegrass, book signings by Kevin Fleming and, for the more adventurous, helicopter rides.
For more information about farm activities, call (302) 337-8271.
4 Hogg Jogg (9 a.m.)
Bank a few hundred extra calories by getting up early and participating in the Hogg Jogg. The 5K starts at 9 a.m. Saturday morning at he Woodbridge Farm/Athletic Field. Registration, which will cost $10, takes place from 7:30 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. and included a much-coveted T-shirt. Special awards will go to the top female and male runners in each age group.
5 All-you-can-eat (7 a.m. to 11 a.m.)
Of course, the whole day will feature of feast of deliciousness with every possible concoction of apples and scrapple that inventive chefs can dream up. The food court on Delaware Avenue will tempt and tantalize with everything from apple dumplings to something called scrapple sand. Don't want to wait in long lines on the street for food? Then, get there early for the all-you-can-eat scrapple breakfast at Union United Methodist Church on N. Laws St. The church as been known to grill more than 200 pounds of scrapple slabs but breakfast lovers and early birds can usually get stewed apples, sausage and pancakes, too.

Callen Hits Near-Perfect Match; Volleyball Sweeps Trade Tech
Sophomore middle blocker Megan Callen's performance Wednesday had head coach Tammy Silva and Pasadena City College sports information researching through old stat boxes. Callen slammed 12 kills in just 13 attempts in a near-perfect hitting match for the Lancer during PCC's sweep at Los Angeles Trade Tech, 25-7, 25-5, 25-22.
Callen's .923 hitting percentage is believed to be the highest single-match percentage ever by a PCC player recording 10 or more kills. Callen's only non-kill attempt was dug out by Trade Tech's defense.
"I've never seen anything like it," Silva said. "You see players on fire during matches, but to put down every attempt for a kill is just ridiculous. Megan has been really improving her swing over the last month, and she almost perfected it last night. I don't even remember the attempt that didn't go for a point. She was murdering the ball."
A 6-foot-1 talent from St. Lucy's Priory in Glendora, Callen (pictured) added two solo blocks and three digs as the Lancers hit .479 overall as a team.
Pasadena, ranked No. 9 in the state, leads the South Coast Conference with a perfect 8-0 record and a 14-3 overall mark. The Lancers are looking for their first conference title since 2009.
Against Trade Tech, Silva said she was disappointed by her reserves in the third set after mostly her starting unit allowed the Lady Techsters just 12 points combined in the first two sets.
PCC continued its strong serving presence with nine aces, including three by setter Lindsey Kuramoto (13 assists) and two by defensive specialist Cassandra Delacruz (eight digs). Sophomore starting middle blocker Jackie Valle-Acosta added eight kills and three blocks while libero Jennifer Estrada contributed 11 digs and two kills. Frosh outside hitter Nora To'omalatai added five kills, six digs and an ace in just one set of play.
The Lancers next host East Los Angeles College on Friday, October 26. First serve is 6 p.m. at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
Release Date: 10/25/12
SERVICE ALERT: PCC will be launching an updated version of this website on Tuesday, June 28, and Wednesday, June 29. During that time, you may notice some changes to content, layout, and functionality of the site, and there may be interruptions in service.

Why Experience Is The Best Teacher
"You'll understand when you're older."
We tell that to our students, and they don't like. We hear it when we start out in the teaching world and we don't like. I remember an experienced band director told me once that he would tell me how to be a better teacher if he knew. He just knew that experience would help me get better. That frustrated me to no end.
I'm a step-by-step guy (if you haven't noticed by reading other articles on this blog). "Just figure it out" is annoying to me. The way I like to figure things out is to look up the answers and work from there. "Experience is the best teacher" didn't quite do that for ...

In New Mexico, obituaries were published in newspapers after the end of the civil war. Previously, obituaries and death notices were usually extremely brief and
The publishing of detailed obituaries by newspapers in United States began to become more customary following the end of the Civil War and were more likely to include common folk. Prior to that, most mentions regarding someone's death were usually quite brief unless they were about a prominent member of the community.
Obituaries as well as death notices indicate the passing of an individual. However, the obituary also serves to provide information regarding the deceased, such as their names, spouses, siblings, children and other offspring's. In addition, the obituary will also detail where the deceased was buried and sometimes may even contain a complete biography of the deceased's life.
Obituaries and Death Notices are sometimes the only record of someone's death. Death certificates, even if supposedly required, were often never issued in some parts during the 1890s to 1920s. In addition, they are sometimes the only source for the maiden name of a woman.
For people who lived in Rio Rancho, you are advised to look into records from local newspapers. Many provide access to online reserves as well. It is also advised that you look into newspapers from all across Sandoval county, as it is possible that the individual was known in other parts of New Mexico as well.

Valley Forge FAQs
Washington Memorial Chapel
Q.I am interested in the Washington Memorial Chapel for a research paper. If possible, please provide me with the date that is was built. Thank you for providing such great information on the internet about Valley Forge! Thank you for your assistance.
Evette M. Snyder, Allentown, Pennsylvania, History Major, Senior at Cedar Crest College
A.The cornerstone for the Washington Memorial Chapel was laid on June 19, 1903 — the 125th anniversary of the evacuation of Washington's army from Valley Forge. The original church building, however took a number of years to build. The first structure was a wooden building "...the tiny barnboard structure in the woods..." which itself was destined for fame. Then President, Theodore Roosevelt spoke from that chapel on June 19, 1904 about Valley Forge and patriotism. He was the first American president in office to do so. Dr. Rev. W. Herbert Burk, the founder began a campaign to raise funds for the construction of the Washington Memorial Chapel. He actually raised the funds a few feet at a time. They would build what they could, money would run out and then they would fundraise for the what they could do next. At the same time, Dr. Burk was collecting funds and artifacts for the collection of the Valley Forge Museum of American History (which later became officially our organization, the Valley Forge Historical Society). You could say that Dr. Burk, in the religious and patriotic zeal of the day nickeled and dimed his way into history. If you are interested in the early history of the chapel and the Society, you should try to find copies of two publications...one written by Dr. Burk and the second written by his wife after her husbands death — both are about the early founding of the Society and how the land was obtained, the building built and artifacts collected.
- "Making a Museum: The Confessions of a Curator" By Rev. W. Herbert Burk, D.D. [Founder and Curator of the Valley Forge Museum of American History], 1926.
- "In the Beginning: at Valley Forge and the Washington Memorial Chapel" By Eleanor H.S. Burk, 1938.
Another, more modern publication, would also give you some early information on the chapel and insight into our founder.
- "Valley Forge: The Making and Remaking of a National Symbol" by Lorett Treese, published in 1993.

"I have abided by the rules that I have been asked to by my principal and athletic director. Some coaches abide by them. Some coaches bend the rules." — Ky Cowan, Deltona coach
"When I was growing up, you didn't dare go to another school. You had your school and there were some good rivalries, but now kids move around, and that seems to be the norm." — Tim Smith, Atlantic coach
"I'm going to make sure I hit every high school, because I don't want to miss out on a diamond in the rough." — Brian Jenkins, Bethune-Cookman University coach
"My whole family has pretty much gone to Seabreeze, and I've grown up with all of these guys over here. I went to Mainland my first year and really didn't like it at first. I really didn't know anybody, so I came over here." — Chris Jones, Seabreeze senior zoned for Mainland
"From my perspective, some of the schools have a greater number of academies and what they have creates an imbalance. My feeling is (these academies) were created for athletics. I've heard stories of a kid getting into an academy and going to that academy for that semester, and then never going back but staying at that school for three years." — Scott Surgener Pine Ridge coach

DELAND -- A nonprofit organization is launching a $200,000 fundraising campaign to establish an emergency shelter for parents and their children.
The Neighborhood Center of West Volusia, a United Way partner agency, purchased a four-unit apartment home at 114 W. Walts Ave. in DeLand and dubbed it The Heart House.
"There is a tremendous need for emergency housing for families West Volusia, and we are very hopeful this home on West Walts Avenue will be added to the inventory in a matter of months," said Susan Clark, executive director of The Neighborhood Center.

While I no longer need to remind myself of that little proverb romantically, it's still very true in terms of living in Park City there's always another amazing, electrifying, crowd-gathering event right around the corner.
We are a town that excels at dovetailing
For example, even though the road barricades are still up for Sundance, parking is still at a premium, and people are still walking around dressed all in black (and they still haven't figured out that those lanyards don't get them any special VIP barstools at the pubs on Main Street), the city is already onto the next big event the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup at Deer Valley.
More so than the spring and summer concerts, Park Silly Sunday Market, 4th of July festivities, Miners Day, the Halloween dog parade, bike races, nonprofit galas, 5Ks, the Sundance Film Festival and any of the other numerous annual happening that keep our calendars full, this is my favorite event of the year, when the world's best freestyle skiers compete under the lights flying, twisting, racing, and generally making the rest of us feel like rank beginners on skis.
The 2013 World Cup is right around the corner, kicking off January 30 and ending February 2 with the dual moguls competitions and fireworks. In my opinion, there is just no better weekend in Park City, and, as noted above, there's a lot of competition for that #1 spot.
But the weekend isn't just about gathering with friends, watching the athletes compete under the stars, and taking nips from your flask to warm up. It's also about people like the Wilson brothers, who will be competing in this year's event.
You could say Bryon and Brad Wilson have pedigrees when it comes to breeding championship skiers. Bryon won the bronze medal at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and Brad is quickly climbing the World Cup rankings, having recently been named "World Cup Rookie of the Year."
"We're kind of like the Manning brothers of skiing," Bryon joked, referring to NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning. "And I'm the older, better-looking one."
While younger brother Brad disagreed wholeheartedly with that statement, both did agree that they wouldn't be able to compete at all without the help of Deer Valley Resort.
"We're so lucky to have the number one resort in the world sponsor us," noted Brad. "And to be able to compete on the runs we train on is such a home-field advantage for us. We consider Deer Valley our home mountain. We're so excited to compete in the World Cup here."
Both brothers ski moguls. They'll compete Thursday in the moguls events, and Saturday in the dual-moguls competitions. And, if all goes as planned, they could end up competing against each other for the top spot on the podium.
"We've never both made the finals in the same competition, so it would be the first time if it happens," Bryon noted.
And it could happen, because both of them agree that having the competition at Deer Valley gives them a serious edge.
"At most competitions it's not feasible for our friends and family to come watch us," said Brad. "But our family lives in Park City now and our friends are here too. Knowing they'll all be at the bottom of the hill cheering us on is awesome. It helps us perform better."
"We're excited our parents get to cheer us on," Bryon added, but predicted that his mom "will probably be nervous and usually only watches us through her fingers most of the time."
Anxious as their mom understandably is, the boys credit her with getting them into the business.
"We grew up in Montana and started skiing when we were about three," Bryon recalled. "My mom always told us if we wanted to be good skiers, we needed to watch the really good skiers and try to emulate them. So we would find the freestyle skiers on the hill and just follow them around the resort all day. Eventually they asked us to try out for their program and we did, and we were hooked."
By the time they were 12 and eight, they were both good enough that they needed a more advanced program, and they ended up moving to Utah to compete with the Wasatch Freestyle team. A few years later, Bryon remembers calling up Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley Resort's general manager, and asking Bob to sponsor him.
"He agreed and then a few years later I went back to him and said, 'Can you sponsor my brother too?'" And again, Bob agreed.
"It is an honor to support the Wilson brothers in their athletic quest," Wheaton said. "Bryon and Brad are incredible athletes and ambassadors for the sport of freestyle skiing. They are source of inspiration for all of us and we are thrilled they have chosen to represent the resort in addition to skiing and training here."
You can watch the Wilson brothers in action during this year's event on Thursday, January 31, and Saturday, February 2. The events are free, and because they are this town's greatest event of the year, they're also packed. So my recommendation is to ride the bus.

ZF-9831: Apparent difference b/w documentation for add() and sub() and actual behavior
The 1.10 documentation reads: http://zendframework.com/manual/en/…
bq. ... Each addition will create a new object for the result. The actual object will never be changed by the class.
Considering a simple example, slightly modified from the documentation:
$unit = new Zend_Measure_Length(200, Zend_Measure_Length::CENTIMETER);
$unit2 = new Zend_Measure_Length(1, Zend_Measure_Length::METER);
echo "$unit + $unit2 = ?\n";
$sum = $unit->add($unit2);
echo "$unit + $unit2 = $sum\n";
Has an actual result of:
200 cm + 1 m = ? 300 cm + 100 cm = 300 cm
By my reading of the documentation, I expect that the $unit variable will not be modified. Note that, however, $unit IS modified.
I do not know if this is a change from previous versions, a documentation issue, an issue in my version/build (5.2.12-pl0-gentoo) or a misunderstanding on my part.
The API shows that the fluid interface is used. So behaviour of code is correct.
Thanks Thomas for the quick response!
My concern here is not the accuracy of the code, but the precision of the documentation. I fail to see where the documentation mentions or alludes to the fact that the left-hand side of -> will be modified.
By my notion of "fluent interface", this would be allowed (and good):
$unit1 = new Zend_Measure_Length(1);
$unit2 = new Zend_Measure_Length(2);
$unit3 = new Zend_Measure_Length(3);
$unit6 = $unit1->add($unit2)->add($unit3);
And there would be no side effects -- the only variable that would change in that equation is $unit6. The documentation as it exists seems to support that intention.
At a minimum, if the LHS of the operation is modified, I think the docs should note that. Thoughts?
Docu clearified with r22160
The manual stated already {quote} Dynamic objects support a fluid style of programming, where complex sequences of operations can be nested without risk of side-effects altering the input objects {quote}
Only the beginning was changed as it irritated.

The new Alicia Keys single, "Brand New Me," is co-written by none other than Scottish songwriting genius Emeli Sande. The inspiring ballad speaks on prioritizing one's self and an unapologetic dedication to self discovery. Alicia talks about the song:
"Brand New Me" is about the journey it takes to get to a place where you are proud to be a new you. There is nothing wrong with growing! There may be people in your life that knew you for a long time and they think of you only as the person you used to be and not the person you now are! And this song is a conversation introducing them to the new you! Where nothing can hold you back and no one can hold you down!
Get 'em, ladies! Alicia's upcoming album, Girl On Fire will be out November 26.

Church selects ESF as monthly charity
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.
The November noise offering at First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lexington went to the Empty Stocking Fund as its charity for the month to help children during the holiday season.
Every third Sunday children go out into the congregation after the children's service with little tin buckets to collect change, said Tina Walker, church member and team leader of the outreach program. Whatever is donated by members, the church's endowment team matches it up to $100.
"The kids just love it," Walker said.
Walker said by the offering the church is able to send a donation to local organizations each month. The idea started from church member Billie Sue Hollar, Walker noted. She said the church's outreach team decides the destinations for the money each month.
"We have a wonderful group of people who help," she said.
In the past, they have donated to Kamp Kiwanis, the Salvation Army, Hospice of Davidson County, Positive Wellness Alliance and Crisis Ministry of Davidson County. The offering to the Empty Stocking Fund was $222.
"We are very aware of how fortunate our members are," she said. "We try to add somebody new each year."
Walker said with Christmas being around the corner, they wanted to select an organization that helped provide presents and assistance to children.
"We are happy to do it," Walker said. "It's a really good lesson for the kids to understand how fortunate they are, and everybody is not as fortunate. It's teaching good habits as far as learning to give to other people."
Donation forms for the Empty Stocking Fund run periodically in The Dispatch and can also be sent in on a sheet of paper. All donations should be mailed to The Dispatch, Empty Stocking Fund, P.O. Box 908, Lexington, NC 27293 or delivered to the office at 30 E. First Ave. Checks should be made out to the Empty Stocking Fund.
Please include the following information, typed or clearly written, with donation checks: donor's name, amount of donation and if the donation is in honor or in memory of someone. Donors can remain anonymous if they so choose.
Deneesha Edwards can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 213, or at email@example.com.

In memory of Gray and Clara Crews by Carolyn and Winfred Everhart, $50
In memory of Frank and Mary Everhart by Carolyn and Winfred Everhart, $50

Featuring over 100 artists from around the world.
Artists Haven Gallery located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL was established in March 2005 by Michael & Elaine Joseph seeking to promote his fine art photography as well as the work of other artists.
Our contemporary gallery offers art by established, mid career, and emerging artists while boasting a diverse collection of paintings, mixed media, drawings, collage, digital creations, photography, pastels, and watercolors. The process by which a gallery selects artists to represent is very subjective, varies to a great extent from person to person, and place to place. Our gallery exists to present quality art in a superior environment. We strive to nurture the creditability and value of each artist we come into contact with.
We have taken into careful consideration much of the criteria, understanding, and necessities of operating a successful art business. By definition our gallery is a place offering favorable opportunities and conditions. The gallery has become a respected resource for private collectors, interior designers, and corporate art consultants.
Over the past seven years the boundaries have since blurred between defining where the artist-gallery relationship ends and a personal friendship begins. With the opening of our doors we have welcomed the occasion to share with our community, build lasting associations, help benefit worthwhile causes and charities, and to support the arts.

I was asking my sister about getting a dog. She led me to Trailways To Heaven Animal Rescue and felt this is the type of place to get my dog from. I spoke to the woman in charge and told her I was looking for a dog I could love and take responsibility for. She mentioned two dogs and I chose one. The next morning I returned the woman's phone call and found out the dog I wanted was not good for me. I then stated the other dog I was informed about. We met and I had time to be with the dog and he is wonderful. I filled out the paperwork and he came home with me then. He is a very good dog. When I saw him I fell in love with him. He is trained and is a great blessing to me. I tell everyone about this animal rescue and praise God that she is there to help these animals and keep them alive.

Exiting UNCW chancellor can't shake criticism of student conduct system
Published: Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 5:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 5:21 p.m.
Chancellor Gary Miller is on his way out as the top leader of the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
At a glance
Students go through conduct hearings after they're charged with underage drinking, drug possession, damage to property or theft, all of which violate UNCW's student code. UNCW has about 1,100 charges a year, and about 770 of those lead to conduct hearings.
Once students are written up for a charge by an administrator, they can have their cases heard by a student-led conduct board or in an administrative hearing led by the dean of students' office. Punishments become more strict as students accumulate more charges and can eventually lead to a student being suspended or expelled from the university.
A law passed by the N.C. General Assembly in 2013 allows students to have an attorney or "non-attorney advocate" with them during a disciplinary hearing.
Chancellor Gary Miller, a staunch supporter of athletics, rescued five teams from the chopping block last May in the face of a recommendation that would have saved the cash-strapped athletic department $800,000 annually.
The chancellor made the controversial decision two weeks after a 19-person committee suggested axing men's and women's swimming and diving, men's cross country, men's indoor track and softball. He said the outpouring of public support convinced him those programs should stay, in spite of the challenges of balancing a budget that already ranks at the bottom of the Colonial Athletic Association.
Miller stood by the move in an interview last month, saying increased fundraising efforts have the department on "a great trajectory for the future."
Mike Adams, a criminology professor, sued the university in 2007, alleging religious and speech-based discrimination when he was not promoted to full professor. He won his case against the school in March, and UNCW was ordered to promote him and pay him $50,000 in back pay.
Adams' lawsuit went on for seven years, going through at least two appeals and costing the university several thousand dollars in legal fees.
UNCW requested a new trial in April and was denied.
He's a top candidate for at least three leadership jobs at other universities. University officials are staying quiet about why he's leaving, but others say that even if he's not selected for one of those jobs, he won't be leading UNCW much longer.
Two of what are seen as Miller's biggest missteps are problems he inherited when he took the job in July 2011, including losing a seven-year lawsuit brought against the university by criminology professor Mike Adams and a controversial decision to cut, then save, five sports teams to help a financially struggling athletic department.
But the loudest criticism of Miller stems from a debate over the university's student conduct system that's emerged solely during his tenure.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was suspended from the university for two years after a contentious student conduct hearing into an off-campus party. That case angered some trustees and a state legislator, spurring statewide changes to how student conduct hearings are handled.
And now, some say, it's a major part of the reason Miller is searching for a new university to lead.
Frat fights back
The issue began in 2013. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was charged with alcohol and cease-and-desist violations, disbanded and stripped of all university privileges from the organization. Soon after, Miller and the university were on the wrong side of several fraternity alumni.
Ian Gove, Sigma Alpha Epsilon's president during the incident and a 2013 UNCW graduate, wrote state legislators calling for a new law that would allow UNC-system students to have an attorney with them during student conduct hearings. Rep. John Bell, a Republican from Goldsboro who is also a UNCW and Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumnus, took up the cause immediately, sponsoring the Students and Administration Equality Act. The law lets students have an attorney or "non-attorney advocate" sit in on a disciplinary hearing.
UNCW trustees first publicly discussed that law in an explosive two-hour debate at their October meeting. Trustees Michael Drummond and Dennis Burgard, who are also both UNCW and Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumni, were particularly vocal about their dissatisfaction with UNCW's student conduct system. Drummond told trustees he didn't want university officials handling the implementation of the new law.
"This is so dangerous, with the things that are going on and the things that have happened," Drummond said during the October meeting. "I think it's the job of the board of trustees to go forward and understand this. I think it needs to be directed from the board of trustees how we administer it. It should not come from the administration."
That sentiment has reached a fever pitch in recent months. Adams, one of Bell's former professors who helped him draft the SAE Act, said UNCW's problems stemmed from Miller's inability to address the issue.
"UNCW has been a model of the brokenness of the student judicial system in North Carolina," Adams said. "There are some personnel changes needed at UNCW. If the chancellor doesn't have the good judgment to do the right thing, he needs to be expelled."
Alumni advocacy
Adams was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity when he was an undergraduate at Mississippi State University. His fraternity was often treated differently simply because it was a fraternity, he said. That changed when a Sigma Chi alumnus was appointed to the Mississippi State board of trustees. From his perspective, the same thing is happening at UNCW with the student conduct debate.
"If we didn't have one or two (Sigma Alpha Epsilon members) on the board, would this really be coming to their attention?" he said. "The deal is, the vast majority of people who benefit from this change is not going to be (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) or even Greeks."
Aaron Bachenheimer, director of fraternity and sorority life at UNC-Chapel Hill, said that he felt networks like fraternities help students. But Bachenheimer, who is not connected to the SAE case at UNCW, cautioned against an overreach of those connections.
"My hope would be that, at some point, the network only gets you so far," he said. "(I hope) the people that are ultimately making public policy decisions are understanding that they have a much broader constituent group that they are working for."
Conduct system defended
Some say that the student conduct system is working as it is and that Miller is taking the blame for the fallout of a controversial policy that's made waves across the UNC system.
The Student Government Association released a statement in December in support of the current campus conduct system, saying the SAE Act makes the system more punitive. That isn't and shouldn't be the goal of the student hearings, said Zach Steffey, the outgoing student body president. Steffey sat on the judicial branch of student government at UNC-Charlotte before transferring to UNCW. He also served on the student-led campus conduct board at UNCW.
"I would say that UNCW takes an approach that's very much educationally focused," he told trustees at the October meeting. "We're not out to get students. We're there to educate students."
The changes to the conduct system have been discussed widely by both state and national news organizations. UNC-system President Tom Ross also released a letter detailing his concerns about the new law, writing that it had "the potential to fundamentally alter processes intended to help students make better decisions."
That's what Pat Leonard, UNCW's vice chancellor for student affairs, also emphasized, saying that the ultimate goals of the student conduct system were to help students learn from their mistakes and keep them safe. The SAE Act takes away the ability for students to learn from their mistakes
And to Leonard, the idea that Miller has erred in his handling of the student conduct system and the changes it has undergone is incorrect.
"To suggest that he didn't handle it well would be to say that he actually had his hands in it," she said. "To say that is a misstatement."
Seeking 'big issues'
News broke that Chancellor Gary Miller was job hunting in late April, when he was announced as one of three finalists for the president's job at Youngstown State University in Ohio and one of six finalists for the same position at SUNY Buffalo State in New York. On Wednesday, Miller was also announced as one of five finalists for the chancellor's job at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, university spokeswoman Janine Iamunno confirmed.
The university has stayed largely mum on the reasons behind Miller's decision to leave, and Miller was not available for comment.
"The board is supporting his options to look at other opportunities," said trustees chairwoman Wendy Murphy. "We're just sitting back to see what he's going to do."
In a recent forum on Youngstown State University's campus, Miller was asked what motivated him to consider the president's job there.
He made no mention of UNCW or the issues that he's faced as chancellor here. But he did say he wanted a chance to focus on the big issues in higher education – student access, community involvement, research – and thought he could do that at Youngstown State.
"There's more of an opportunity here," he said.

20 Dead Simple Classroom Management Ideas, Tricks, and Tips
I have written extensively in the past about classroom management and I admit I have glossed over some things while belaboring other points way beyond the point of exhaustion. Below are a few of the common classroom management pieces of advice and a handful of simple tricks to use in effort to make those things happen. Try one or two and see if things become easier…

Sen. Bill Nelson sat down with local community and government leaders last Thursday afternoon in the conference room of the Gadsden County Chamber of Commerce in Quincy.
As the meeting began, Nelson asked those present what issues were on their minds. Foremost among those issues were health care reform, the Apalachicola River, the economic forecast and stimulus dollars.
There were only a few seats left at the Leaf Theatre Aug. 25 as U.S. Congressman Allen Boyd opened a town meeting to discuss the health care initiative. He said most of the people in the room were raised by parents whose lives were shaped by the Great Depression and many people are losing their jobs and their homes – and people are "scared."
"I'm delighted you're here. You were told last September that our financial institutions were about to collapse. That didn't happen but we never get credit for averting disaster," Boyd said.
The Gadsden County Board of Commissioners have a tough decision to make and they must make it soon according to Michael Glazer, attorney for Gadsden Hospital Inc. Board of Directors, who laid the board's options on the line Tuesday.
The Quincy City Commission took pencil to paper last Wednesday and Thursday nights during the first two of three budget workshops planned before September public hearings to adopt the 2009-10 budget.
Commissioners studied the proposed budget almost line by line in an attempt to lower spending while continuing to provided services at a level to please citizens.
A Midway restaurant was cited for seven critical violations, while a Gretna eatery received five during recent inspections by health inspectors from the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.
Jeremy Vickers: Introduction of contraband into a detention facility, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana
Willie Williams: False imprisonment, domestic assault
Sharum Moore: Armed robbery, grand theft
Alexi Deangelo Jackson: Dealing in stolen property
Manita Patterson: Violation of parole, grand theft, FTA/Obtaining property/Services by PWBC
Peter Clemons: False imprisonment, domestic assault and battery
According to Gadsden County Schools Superintendent Reginald James, President Barack Obama's speech, to be podcast via the White House's Web site Tuesday at noon, will be available to those students who wish to see it.
Gadsden County Schools Superintendent Reginald James says his team is facing a tough "season" during the new school year, which kicked off Monday. But this coach says they're ready.
Although James said the elementary and middle schools are on track, the county's high schools, East Gadsden and West Gadsden, still pose a huge challenge.
"Our biggest challenges are basically our two high schools," James said. "Our high schools presented a unique challenge to me as a superintendent."
Construction on Gadsden Memorial Hospital is complete, according to Clyde Collins, construction manager, but the building cannot be released for occupancy until it is furnished.
Collins was asked to give a construction report to the Gadsden Hospital Inc. Board of Directors on Monday. But although the building is complete, nothing more can happen until it is furnished. The Agency on Health Care Administration cannot complete its final inspections and release the building until this is accomplished.
The front skirting of Bertha Hughes' home at 425 Cleveland St. in Quincy was damaged Sunday around 5 p.m. when a late model Ford Mustang driven by Charles Jenkins, 42, plowed into it. After hitting the house, Jenkins left the scene of the accident. Witnesses told police where he had gone and officers arrested him a few blocks away on Hardin Street. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and having no driver's license. Jenkins failed the field sobriety test and police records indicate he refused to take the breathalyzer test.

Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey
by Maira Kalman, G.P. Putnam's Sons, www.penguinputnam.com
, 2002.
The horror of September 11, 2001 brings a huge challenge for addressing this event in any way with children. Nevertheless, children will learn about the event unintentionally as they overhear and absorb news accounts and commentary, adult conversations and media references. One successful approach to bringing part of the story to an appropriate child's level is a focus on an individual story of a retired fireboat that joined in the heroic effort to save lives and limit the damage of the collapse and fires of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
Fireboat is the illustrated true story of the John J. Harvey beginning with its beginning in 1931 during a very different time in history. After describing the times and the special features of the Harvey and its activities and mission, eventually the fireboat is put to rest. In 1995, a group of friends rescued the boat from its scrapheap destination and it was restored to in both appearance and function. When the attacks of September 11 came and the Twin Towers were burning, the Harvey was called upon to once again and pumped water for four days and four nights to get the fire under control. It is a wonderfully illustrated and told story of unexpected heroism in a time of great loss and need. It appropriately does not let the attacks wholly define the event or get the last word.
Special thanks to (now retired) school counselor, Karen Lowery, for this book recommendation.
Walking Backward
by Catherine Austen, Orca Book Publishers, www.orcabook.com
, 2009.
This is a quirky book with some darkly funny stuff, insights into families and grief plus information about mourning practices of different religions. Twelve-year-old Josh tells the story journal-style as his family reels from the strange accidental death of his mother. Someone put a snake in the passenger seat of his mother's car, and being phobic about snakes, his mother drove the car into a tree. Now Josh is left with the mystery of who put the snake in the car, the responsibility of parenting his four-year-old brother as his father spends his time in the basement trying to invent a time machine and the concern that his mother's death will be listed in the Darwin awards for deaths caused by the deceased person's stupidity. It's a lot to handle, even for a very bright kid who knows a lot about history and religious practices and is the best soccer player on his team. Trying to help his brother and himself, they start a "Mom book" scrapbook while his brother walks backwards so he can see everyone's face to remember in case they die. It's not easy, but this unusual family finds ways to begin to live again and be together as a different kind of family. Sounds strange, but it works.
The dead-parent genre is a busy one, but Austen breaks from the pack with this confident and peculiar debut.--Booklist

the last two decades, as well as serving as a high-level strategist for nationwide political campaigns on three continents. Mr. Leslie specializes in helping prominent corporations and public institutions to transform public attitudes
rapidly on divisive, high-profile issues. Leslie's dual background as a seasoned communications professional and political operative offers a unique perspective that enables him to integrate advertising, media relations, direct marketing
and political strategy. Political and business leaders have sought his counsel during several crises. Mr. Leslie has served as a communications crisis advisor to the NY-NJ Port Authority in the immediate aftermath of the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing and to American Airlines following the attacks of September 11th; to the Government of Colombia on illegal narcotics; to the State of Florida on the shootings of foreign tourists; and many other foreign and domestic crises.

Michael Dell is the founder of the computer company Dell, Inc. He created one of the most profitable computer companies in the world with annual sales of up to $50 billion American dollars. Dell has also become one of
the wealthiest people in the world with a 4th place listing on the Forbes rich Americans list in 2005 with an estimated worth of $18 billion. Michael Saul Dell was born on the 23rd of February, 1965 in Houston to an orthodontist father and
a mother that worked as a money manager. Dell was interested in computers from a very young age and was already pulling them apart at the age of 15. He attended the University of Texas with hopes of becoming a doctor but abandoned studies
to start his own business at just 19 years of age. With just one thousand dollars in his pocket Dell started "PC's Limited" in 1984. From his university dorm room Dell started building and selling personal computers from stock computer
parts. The idea that set the young entrepreneur apart from others was to sell directly to the customer, rather than going through a third party to sell his products. PC's Limited allowed the customer to customize their computer before it
was custom built to their specifications. The prices could also be kept much lower than PC's Limited's competition as they had no stores to maintain or middlemen to pay commissions to. All computers were sold direct to the customer with
the use of order forms, phone orders, and now Internet orders. In 1988 PC's Limited had a name change to "Dell Computer Corporation" and had an initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at roughly $80 million. By 1992 Dell
Computer Corporation was listed on the Fortune 500 list of the five hundred largest companies in the world, making Michael Dell the youngest ever CEO to head a Fortune 500 company. The company continued to grow and expand dramatically year
after year, eventually selling more c
Edgar Miles Bronfman, Jr. (born May 16, 1955), formerly CEO of Seagram and vice-chairman of Vivendi Universal, has been CEO of Warner Music since 2004. He is the son of Edgar Miles Bronfman and the grandson of Samuel
Bronfman, one of the most wealthy and influential Jewish families in Canada. Edgar Jr. is the second of five children, and was indicated by his grandfather in 1971 as being suitable as the heir to the Seagram Company. From his early days,
Bronfman's interest in the arts was apparent. He was particularly active in school theatre, an interest his parents supported by donating to construct The Ann and Edgar Bronfman Theatre during a 1967 expansion at The Collegiate School, the
prestigious private school in Manhattan which Edgar Jr. attended. Edgar Jr. and his classmates created a documentary film of the school that spawned the Collegiate Film Festival, an event that gained positive press in The Los Angeles Times
and The Village Voice. Bronfman proceeded to a brief career in entertainment in the 1970s as a film and Broadway producer. The summer before his final year of high school, in 1972, he was a credited producer on the film, The Blockhouse.
Despite his inexperience, Bronfman's involvement was accepted because of his connections and access to financing. In return, he learned many of the tricks of the trade by watching his more experienced peers. In 1973, Bronfman began a
songwriting career under the pseudonyms Junior Miles and Sam Roman. He often collaborated with Bruce Roberts on songs like "Whisper in the Dark", which he gave to Dionne Warwick to record in thanks for introducing him to his first wife,
Sherry. His Efer Productions company was signed by Universal Studios in 1977 to a three-year movie production contract. He produced the unsuccessful film The Border, which starred Jack Nicholson. In 1982, Bronfman returned to the Seagram
Company, spending three months learnin
