LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A strong Mexico earthquake today 2013 has struck the Oaxaca region. The Mexico earthquake today Tuesday, March 26, 2013 began in the predawn morning hours. No reports of damage have yet to be indicated by local news.
A 5.5 magnitude Mexico earthquake began shortly after 7 am local time Tuesday. Official tell news that the quake had virtually no depth, however. The Mexico teremoto hoy began only five miles below the earth's surface. As a result, the temblor en Mexico could be felt across the region.
Officials indicate to news that the Mexico earthquake began ten miles west of Pinotepa Nacional in Oaxaca. The quake could also be felt in Guerrero. USGS reports to news that the quake started thirty-four miles southeast of Ometepec, Guerrero. It was also seventy-seven miles southwest of Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca and roughly one hundred miles east of Acapulco.
The same Acapulco region has been an active epicenter in recent months. In April last year, a 6.3 magnitude quake struck the region. It was also roughly one hundred miles southeast of Chilpancingo, Guerrero and the same distance from Acapulco. The temblor began only two hundred miles from Mexico City.
Then in January this year a 4.8 magnitude quake stuck the region. The quake was centered fourteen miles northwest of San Pedro Pochutla. The quake was also thirty two miles east of Puerto Escondido and sixty-two miles south of San Jacinto Ocotlan, officials told news at the time.

A dozen acts performed for the annual Brookings-Harbor High School talent show Thursday night, but in the end it was the duo with an original song that impressed the judges the most.
A dozen acts performed for the annual Brookings-Harbor High School talent show Thursday night, but in the end it was the duo with an original song that impressed the judges the most.
Junior Liz Lindley, accompanied on guitar by Senior Mitch Harrison, sang their original song "Change" to win first place in the annual contest sponsored by the Sophomore Leadership Class.
Winning second place was Liz Ha, a senior who performed "Concerto Pour Une Juene Pille" by Richard Clayderman. Ha performed a piano solo. The panel of judges chose freshman McAlla Murdock, who performed a Celtic-style violin solo.Judges for the evening were Jamie Ryan of the Brookings-Harbor School District board, Kevin Bane of KURY Radio, Sarah Callaway of KURY Radio, Susan Bristow of U.S. Bank and Mike Worthy of Brookings-Harbor Physical Therapy.
Serving as masters of ceremonies for the program, titled "Bruins Got Talent," were Jacob McKinney and Karen Fairchild. During the first half of the show, McKinney dressed as a girl named Debbie and Fairchild as a boy named Cameron. In the second half, they were more themselves, presenting short skits before introducing the next act.
Following the presentation of the national anthem – performed by Fairchild, Heidi Moore, Alyssa Baron and Owen Fairchild – the first act was introduced. Colleen Gibson sang "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. She was followed by a dance performance by Autumn Gardner, who stepped to "Stronger" by Daft Punk.
Next on stage, Lhyz Dougherty sang "Little House" by Amanda Seyfried. Her performance, accompanied on guitar by Harrison, was followed by Murdock on violin and Kristina Justason singing "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion.
Capping the first half of the show, Dorothy Shull and Steven Nagel presented a humorous skit.
Following intermission, the band Karkuss – Diondre Runyon, Tristan Taylor, Dylan Kemp and Josh Magnuson – performed a rock instrumental piece. Following the band's performance was Alli Rudis who sang "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. Rudis' voice was accompanied on piano by Virginia Riddle, the school vocal music accompanist.
The piano remained on the stage for Ha's performance followed by Amanda Hudson covering a song by Queen, "Somebody to Love," which was accompanied on piano by Riddle.
Ending the talent competition, Shull returned to the stage, this time to sing a cappella her original song titled "Let's Give It A Try." Lindley, who was operating the sound board, then went on stage with Harrison for their original piece.
While the judges tallied their votes, Staff Infection – members of the BHHS staff – performed a parody song about what teachers are supposed to do, but don't.
Every year the sophomore class sponsors the talent show, which is one of many fundraisers for the annual prom. Money gathered from the show will go toward the 2011 prom.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -Marcus Williams had 21 points and nine rebounds, Ivan Radenovic added 19 points and Arizona hung on for its 16th victory in 18 meetings with California, 70-65 Thursday night.

Chase Budinger added 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Wildcats (19-9, 10-7) won their second straight despite falling out of the race for the Pac-10 title.

Arizona, which must win Saturday at Stanford to avoid finishing with its fewest conference victories in 22 years, still has ample reason to hope for a top-four seed at next week's Pac-10 tournament and an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Ayinde Ubaka scored 15 points and Omar Wilkes had 10 for the Golden Bears (14-15, 6-11), who lost their third straight despite holding the Pac-10's highest-scoring club well under its 79.6-point average.

Ryan Anderson added 12 points on 3-of-10 shooting for the Bears, who still have hopes for an NIT berth despite a mediocre season after losing key big men DeVon Hardin and Jordan Wilkes to injuries.

Arizona took control of a tight game with an 11-2 run late in the second half, including five straight points by Williams while the Wildcats mostly shut down Cal.

The Bears weren't helped by coach Ben Braun, who got a technical foul with slightly more than 5 minutes left for stomping onto the court to protest a no-call. Radenovic, who also had eight rebounds, hit one free throw to put Arizona up 65-59, but neither team scored again until Anderson converted a three-point play with 1:03 left.

Jawann McClellan then hit one free throw for Arizona, but Ubaka hit a 3-pointer with 30 seconds left to trim the Wildcats' lead to 66-65. Williams then hit two more free throws and Ubaka missed a straightaway 3-pointer, leading to two final free throws by Mustafa Shakur, who went 1-for-9 from the field.

Earlier, the teams even played through the earthquake that struck the Bay Area with 17:35 left in the second half. The Haas Pavilion crowd issued a collective ``Oooh'' as the building shook, then cheered as officials briefly delayed the game.

The clubs traded the lead in the first half before Shakur threw in a blind layup while sprawling to the floor at the halftime buzzer, putting Arizona ahead 36-34.

Results tagged ' Ron Coomer '
Last Place
As I sit here writing this blog post, the Minnesota Twins currently reside in the cellar of the AL Central division. The last time they finished a season that low in the standings was 2000, when I was starting high school and didn't yet even have cable to watch them on MSC (Midwest Sports Channel, the precursor to FSN).
Some "classic" names on that '00 roster included Ron Coomer, Jay Canizaro, Matt Lawton, Butch Huskey, Midre Cummings, Sean Bergman, and Mark Redman.
Suffice it to say, it is strange to be in the position of looking up at the KC Royals after being on the "other side" for so long. A bit humbling, I suppose.
I remember a few months ago, with the Twins in fourth place, my goal was to see the team move up slot by slot in the standings. Well, the opposite has transpired and now the goal becomes climbing out of the basement back to respectability.
Junior's Circuit, No More
The other day, upon hearing that Ken Griffey Jr. had announced his retirement from Major League Baseball, I wanted to take a moment here to reflect on one of my favorite baseball players of all-time:
Though I grew up a Minnesota Twins fan in the mid 1990s, those Twins teams didn't exactly have the type of superstars that can captivate the imagination of a youngster (sorry Ron Coomer, Terry Steinbach, and Butch Huskey). Thus, I naturally gravitated towards the best (with respect to Barry Bonds, a phrase I never thought I would write) player in baseball at the time: Ken Griffey Jr.
Junior could do it all: Hit for decent average (career .284 hitter), tremendous power (630 career dingers, back-to-back seasons of 56 jacks), steal some bases (particularly early in his career; 184 career), and track down balls in center field like Torii Hunter would later do for my favorite club.
In fact, when the big power/steroid boom of the late 1990s occurred, it was the Griffey/McGwire show before Sosa juiced up and changed everything in '98. Fortunately, Griffey has never seen the smear of performance-enhancing drugs touch his name. He also has none of the tell-tale signs (huge musculature, sudden growth, etc.).
Sadly, the career of KGJ took a down-turn after he signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 2000. Though he was the darling of Seattle with the Mariners, I couldn't blame him for wanting to play for his hometown Reds. However, the Reds never challenged for any sort of title during the "Griffey Years", and Griffey himself endured so many injuries it would have made Mickey Mantle flinch. At one point, he was projected to "easily" surpass Hank Aaron's home run record, and may very well of done it had not the injury bug bitten hard.
After a brief stint with the Chicago White Sox (that, despite good performance, never quite seemed right)…
…it was nice to see Junior in an M's uniform once again in the end:
Perhaps the fondest memory I will take away from Ken Griffey Jr. the baseball player, though, is how as a child I sent him a letter asking for an autograph. Some time later, I received a glossy 8X10 of Junior that had me nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement. A first-ballot Hall of Famer in every sense of the word:
Saved From The Dark Side
Well, the Minnesota Twins finally have the right-handed bat they have been so desperately looking for since Ron Coomer went from playing in the All-Star game to laughing like a goon during Twins TV broadcasts (!). Now, as long as his back can hold out, the Twins have to be the favorite to win the division.
Joe Crede came over to the Twins (The Great White Light) from the Chicago White Sox (The Dark Side) for one year and $2.5 million guaranteed. He could make up to $7 million in incentives revolving primarily around the number of at-bats he accumulates over the course of the season (which is exactly the kind of contract a guy with his injury status SHOULD sign).
A healthy Crede can be expected to hit in the .270-.280 range with 20-30 home runs. He is also excellent at the hot corner (something neither Brian Buscher nor Brendan Harris have on their resumes) with the glove.
Perhaps the biggest implication of this move, though, is that it gives manager Ron Gardenhire much better depth on the bench. In late-inning situational ball, Gardy can send up either Harris or Buscher (both decent batsmen) as well as the odd man out of the Gomez-Span-Cuddyer-Young conundrum. In recent seasons, the Twins have lost big series (think the '03 and '04 ALDS rounds against the Yankees) because of their lack of depth, but this move for Crede changes all that.
Double Homecomings
Tom Glavine back to the Atlanta Braves: After pitching the first 16 years of his career with the Braves, then five years spent with the rival Mets, Tom Glavine was back in a Braves uniform last season. However, his great homecoming story was cut short by an elbow injury that required surgery, after which many thought he would hang 'em up. However, it was announced today that he is coming back to the Braves for one (presumably final) season. Hey, as long as he can still paint that outside corner, he can still win 10 games.
Ken Griffey Jr. back to the Seattle Mariners: After spending his first 11 star-studded seasons in a Mariner uniform, KGJ left for his hometown of Cincinnati for eight years, where injuries plagued his performance to the point where he became a shell of his former greatness. During the mid-1990s, when I was just getting into the Minnesota Twins and baseball in general, my favorite single player was Griffey (sorry Ron Coomer, you just didn't cut it for me…!). I loved the mammoth dingers he would crush and the confident (bordering on cocky, but he could back it up) way he carried himself. Thus, although he'll likely never hit as many as 35 homers in a single season again, it will be fun to see that bat-waggling, uppercut swing back in Seattle (although it will be a little wierd not observing it in the Kingdome!).

This writer's favorite Bed and Breakfast excursions are when the chef is available to short order breakfast and it is usually some mom and pop type operation, where the owners really are the hosts.
4 variations of french toast as below are from prior adventures, tweaked ( not twerked) a bit by the author.
Local french bread outlets for the downtown Oklahoma City area is the bakery LEE'S BAKERY on North Classen at about 36th, or from the bakery inside Super Cao Nguyen at about 26th and Military, which is a block EAST of N.Classen. The Giant Milk Bottle building hosted french bread too, but come to find out they got theirs from Le Madeleine over on North May Avenue.
Using a baguette makes serving slices about the right size, maybe 3" to 5" in diameter at the most. South American Bollos ( small football shaped rolls) work also). Bread should be slightly stale. Bollos are available in local markets and in many if not all Latin bakeries in OKC.
Freshly made french bread will turn stale in about a day, because it has no preservatives in it. If for some reason the bread is "too fresh" try a trick an engineer once introduced this writer to : toast the bread slices before constructing the french toast.Bread that is too fresh or too large will break apart, either when dipped or turned in the pan.
Slice the bread to desired thickness, which is probably about 2" thick.
Slices are then sliced part way through , so they can be stuffed. It is possible to stuff 2 thinner slices and stick together with toothpicks. Semi-slicing saves time, works fine.
1.) cheeze slices to cover the semi-sliced area
2.) ham and cheeze as above
3.) peanut butter
Fill the slice as desired and set aside.
Begin to heat the skillet. Cast iron typically gives a surface finish that is showier than other pans.
HOSTESS TRICK: Set a heat proof serving dish in the oven to warm 150. This time of year, in order to keep the cooked food warm as the other servings are cooking this is imperative.
Also, warming the plates that the food will be served TO helps the food stay warm as it is being eaten. When it is 8 degrees outside, even the toastiest home benefits from this hostess trick.
Fruit Sauce
Start fruit sauce on the stove in a pan, or for a dish in the microwave. ONE of the following or warmed syrup is great on this recipe.
There are no measurements, as dishes like this are designed to flex with whatever amount of food is being prepared . More than one topping is possible for diverse appetites or the ambitious.
a) Any fresh fruit preferred or in season
b) Blueberries with grated lemon rind and small bit of water, sugar if desired
c) Chopped apple brown sugar and cardamom
d) Sliced banana brown sugar and cinnamon
e) *** SUNMAID dried fruit compote, "Tropical Trio" reconstituted orange juice. Small amount of brown sugar. Rum added to this makes for an exotic breakfast, and is just the right balance between the bread and cheeze. http://www.sunmaid.com/products-details/mixed-fruit-tropical-trio-golden...
In a flat pan, like a pie pan, mix an egg and milk until well blended.
Dip the prepared bread in the egg mixture just as ready to add it to the hot skillet.
Turn the bread as it begins to brown.
Park toast that has been cooked in the warmed oven on the serving dish.
HOSTESS TRICK Making individual plates is typical for a B&B style of service.
Plate the toast, top with topping as desired and shower with powdered sugar for a final ta-da.This is great alone or with the full ride of breakfast meat like sausage or bacon and eggs of any sort, the combinations are limited only by the imagination of the cook.
The cooked french toast actually freezes well, sans a topping, and makes for quickly microwaved breakfast or binner ( breakfast for dinner is VERY popular in this writer's family.)

For those of us who took woodshop, you might be very familiar with the simultaneously uneasy and exhilarating feeling that ran through you as you painstaking scored your wood or metal pieces and the similarly painstakingly guided the blade saw along the outline you'd drawn. Every centimeter was an exercise in patience and temerity, in diligence and detail. One wrong move, and what was to be a functional object, could become the latest addition to the woodpile. It was all in your hands and in the wrist.
Some materials were more grueling to work with than others, due in large part to the lack of leeway they would give – either taking the blade very quickly (so no room for mistakes or hesitation) or requiring extra reserves of constrained force to make the cut. For anyone who has or wishes to work with sheet metal, you know or will discover the demonstrative advantages of utilizing lasers to produce clean cuts, down to the millimeter, without the fear and uncertainty that using a hand-guided blade produces.
In a recent blog on instructables.com, the author gives an overview of a project involving a CO2 laser system. Each component to be cut is positioned on a platform controlled by computer, moving the piece according to the design. The laser remains stationary and cuts each piece through a focusing lens. Gas, perhaps oxygen, is piped into the side of a chamber below the focusing lens, and this gas exits the head nozzle creating a combination of gas and laser that vaporizes the steel for precise cutting.
If the various components of the laser are online, you must also have several other supplementary systems in place to properly utilize the CO2 laser. These components are, in the example given on instructables.com:
Two 110VAC 20 amp lines (used to operate ancillary equipment), a 220VAC 20 amp line (for the laser power supply), a 220VAC 20 amp line (for the chiller), and another 110VAC 15 amp line (for room lighting).
Useful for removing fumes and reducing smoke which can contaminate the optics inside the beam delivery system.
Gas Lines
Either oxygen or nitrogen can be used by the laser cutting system, depending on the cutting application.
Support Arm
It is important to have proper distance from the nearest wall or surface, therefore a support arm is recommended.
Whether you're a nascent hobbyist or a rabid enthusiast, CO2 lasers can enable you to create much more complex and precise sheet metal components and projects than utilizing a manual saw or other device for making your cuts. Industries from electronics, to medical devices, to aerospace and defense manufacturers utilize the same laser to produce large-scale and sophistical products that are either consumer grade, as well as, for industrial use. The versatility of the C02 laser supports a range of applications and can be adapted to a range of materials, from wood, to ceramics, to plastics, to composites, in addition to metals, as the nifty article on instructable.com demonstrates. Coherent offers useful advice on laser cutting technology and tools, via their FAQs, which you can find here (http://www.coherent.com/products/?1971/Laser-Cutting-FAQs).

Mediterranean restaurants, such as those offering Greek, Turkish, Israeli, or Lebanese cuisine, are great choices for those on the South Beach Diet. At these eating establishments, you'll likely find grilled seafood, chicken, and lamb, along with chickpeas, lentils, and other legumes, a wide selection of fresh vegetables, and lettuce salads topped with olives, cucumbers, peppers, and cubes of tangy feta cheese. You'll also find bulgur and Israeli or brown rice couscous, which can be enjoyed instead of potatoes or white rice (Phase 2). Mediterranean cuisine also utilizes a variety of herbs and spices, from oregano, mint, and rosemary to cardamom and coriander, all of which enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables, and whole grains.
Healthy Starters
An ideal starter is hummus (a purée made with chickpeas). Ask for it with veggie dippers on Phase 1 or enjoy it with a little whole-wheat pita bread on Phase 2. Ask for extra-virgin olive oil for dipping as well.
Color Your Plate
Vegetables cooked Mediterranean-style—roasted, grilled, or steamed—are a great way to fill up your plate, especially during the two weeks of Phase 1, when grains are not permitted. Ask for eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, or green beans to be served with a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
What to Watch Out For...
When dining out at a Mediterranean restaurant, steer clear of gyros served in white pita bread with full-fat yogurt sauce (have the sliced lamb on its own or grilled on skewers instead). Also watch out for moussaka and pastitsio, which are usually made with high-fat béchamel sauce, and spanakopita, a spinach-and-cheese pie typically made with a buttery phyllo crust. You also want to avoid falafel (which is deep fried) and baklava, a Mediterranean-style dessert made with flaky pastry, nuts, and honey.

A surreal scene played out on Fox News Channel Saturday.
Overall, it seemed like any other crazy high speed car chase, news helicopters capturing a fleeing desperate criminal and the relentless pursuit of the police. Fox News anchor Shepard Smith offered commentary of the man's bewildered state as he pulled off to a dirt road, grabbed something from his car, and continued his escape on foot, stumbling along a sandy pathway seemingly without direction. Evidently what the perpetrator had pulled from his vehicle was a handgun, and before the helicopter footage could be cut off the man shot himself in the head.
Smith was noticeably shaken by the incident, telling the control booth emphatically to cut away before realizing the footage had already aired. The anchor issued an on-air apology when the channel returned from commercial break, stating that the while the feed was on a time delay the network had failed to cut it off before the suicide aired.
Now, Fox News Executive Vice President of News Editorial has issued a statement on the matter, saying "We took every precaution to avoid any such live incident by putting the helicopter pictures on a five second delay. Unfortunately, this mistake was the result of a severe human error and we apologize for what viewers ultimately saw on the screen."
Below is Shepard Smith's on-air apology from immediately following the incident.
Wow. A 5 second delay and it didn't get cut off? Someone was sleeping on the job...and today they don't have one.

in the conditions of the resolution as it relates to storm water management –
Carried w/notice from 6/1/11 – eligible: Buraszeski, Hug, Driscoll, Kanoff,
Moore, Shirkey, Olsen, Petrozzino, Marinello ACT
Present on behalf of the
applicant: Vincent Marotto & Lisa Marotto, applicants; Matthew Clark, PE
Ms. Marotto, applicant –
previously sworn
Ms. Marotto - Provided a
summary of the changes proposed to the plans since June 1, which was their last
appearance. She indicated that they
decided to revert back to driveway improvements originally suggested by the
board, which includes keeping the existing driveway and installing a K-turn.
Matthew Clark, PE –
previously sworn
Mr. Clark indicated that they
revised the impervious numbers, which represents a reduction in coverage. Applicant has agreed to provide a
contribution to a fund to swap out curb pieces for environmental curbing. The location of K-turn has been turned back
into property in the event there is any future widening to road.
Page 2
Mr. Marinello asked Mr.
Omland to clarify alternatives to dry well due to high water table. Mr. Omland explained to board and public that
despite small increase in run-off, the obligation under design standard is to
provide mitigation. This cannot be
provided on-site. Another means includes
installation of environmental curb pieces in an attempt to provide improved
storm water management to the community.
This cannot be done on site but will be done within the immediate area.
Mr. Burgis indicated that
applicant does not exceed impervious coverage.
The existing driveway is preferred in relation to distance from
intersection as previously proposed.
Chairman Marinello opened
hearing to the public - none
Mr. Shirkey asked Mr. Omland
to confirm that the applicant agrees.
Mr. Hug asked about cost to applicant.
Mr. Omland indicates less than $500.00.
Chairman Marinello asked Mr. Omland to make sure that this addition will
not increase run-off hazards. Mr.
Omland said that this is less than one CFS, therefore it will have minimal if
not unperceivable impact. This area is
low lying and has existing drainage issues. Mr. Ackerman asked whether any
driveway would be located on Millers
Lane. Mr.
Clark indicated that no change will be done to the driveway existing on Millers
with the exception of the K-Turn. Mr. Buraszeski
asked how often this type of curb swapping occurs. Mr. Omland said Mr. Barile, Township
Engineer, would know better how often, but this should be encouraged if the
applicant cannot provide on-site mitigation and it is an environmental benefit.
Chairman Marinello closed the
public portion of hearing and asked board for input or motion. Mr. Buraszeski is in favor, but asked board members
for thoughts on curb-swapping. Mr. Hug
feels $500 is not too onerous to request.
Chairman Marinello feels it is a reasonable condition.
Mr. Marinello complemented
applicant on making efforts to conform to the board's suggestions.

on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq.; Carl Schafer, resident; Perry
Bonadies, General Manager; Adrian Humbert, PP, Planner.
Mr. Schepis indicated that he
submitted two documents prior to this evening's hearing including insurance and
roster of members. Mr. Schepis stated
that the Construction Official did an inspection on the 2nd floor of
the clubhouse and there were no improvements done that the Township did not
know about. Mr. Ackerman asked that Mr.
Schepis have his witnesses discuss the exhibits so that they may be entered
into the record. Mr. Schepis stated that
the tent did not need a construction permit and the Construction Official had
given him the regulations about the tent being allowed to stay up 180 days a
year. The tent was there in 2006 when
the applicant came for site plan approval but was not shown on the site plan.
Carl Schafer – 7 Hathaway Lane –
presented as fact witness – sworn
Mr. Buraszeski asked Mr.
Schepis what Mr. Shafer was testifying as.
Mr. Schepis indicated that the witness was testifying as a resident. Mr. Schepis asked about Mr. Schafer's
residence's vicinity to the ball field.
Mr. Schafer indicated that he moved to the area due to the lake and the neighborhood. Mr. Schafer indicated that he is a member of
the club. Mr. Schafer indicated that he
knew that the club hosted weddings prior to moving into the neighborhood and
indicated that members are still able to use the facility during weddings and
other events. Mr. Schafer indicates that
parking on the ball field is preferred, in his opinion as a resident, and a
better alternative than parking on the street.
Additional overflow parking is along the tennis courts from his
Mr. Buraszeski opened the
meeting to the public for this witness.
Mr. Hug asked the witness what problems he has
experienced during weddings. Mr. Schafer
indicates that parking along the street is an issue. Mr. Moore asked if Mr. Schafer has had to
call the police. Mr. Schafer stated that
he had to call the police twice when people parked in front of his
Mr. Mann, attorney for
objectors, asked Mr. Schafer if he has another home. Mr. Shafer indicated he had a boat down the
shore that he spends about 9 weeks out of the year at.
Mr. Bauman, Lake Shore Drive
and previously sworn, asked Mr. Schafer how long he lived on Hathaway. Mr. Schafer indicated he has lived there for
six (6) years. Mr. Bauman challenged the
credibility of the
Page 4
witness. Mr. Buraszeski reminded Mr. Bauman that
questions only were allowed during this portion and that Mr. Bauman will have
an opportunity to present comments at a later time.
Karen Quinn – 8 Hathaway Lane-
Ms. Quinn made statements
regarding Mr. Schafer not caring what occurs in the neighborhood since he
spends a lot of time out of town. Mr.
Ackerman reminded her that this was the time for questions and comments will be
allowed later in the proceedings.
Ken Nemeth – previously
sworn. Asked Mr. Schafer if his wife or
children participate on any Club teams.
Mr. Schafer said they do not. Mr.
Nemeth asked Mr. Schafer if he was aware that people from out of Montville participate in
organized sports at the Club. Mr.
Schafer said he was not aware of this.
Mr. Schepis called Mr. Perry Bonadies
as a witness.
Mr. Bonadies, General Manager
of the Lake Valhalla Club– sworn.
Described duties including
overseeing day-to-day operation of Club since 1987. Mr. Bonadies testified that a large kitchen was
necessary for an a la carte restaurant.
The improvements to the restaurant, which were previously approved by
the board, then allowed for more efficient service. The Club requires a lot of upkeep (e.g. dam,
water quality, repair of buildings).
Mr. Schepis presented exhibit
A-13 as copy of roster that lists approximately 400 families, 1,582 members
total, with addresses. Members come from
a variety of communities in addition to Montville
(i.e. Boonton, Rockaway). 93% of
membership is residents of Montville. In actual numbers, 374 families live in Montville, 27 do not reside in Montville.
The exhibit also shows that there has been an increase in a la carte
dinners being served over the past ten years.
Mr. Bonadies. The Club provides a
monthly newsletter that announces the social functions. Summer is an important time for membership
usage. Activities included in the
newsletter are restricted to members.
Functions are held to offset cost of membership, for example Saturday
night weddings. Some weddings occur
Sunday, but most are on Saturday.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to parking situation. Mr. Bonadies
replied that the softball field is needed for Memorial Day, beach party and
Labor Day. If a wedding occurs, the
majority of parking for guests is in the main parking lot. Even with 270 people, 30 or 40 cars park and
the rest use shuttle services. If there
is overlap with members, it is for a short amount of time. Employees used to park across the street and
now park by the maintenance garages due to disturbances to neighbors. The exhibit also shows the amount of weddings
and bar mitzvahs. Mr. Bonadies testified
that years ago there were more weddings taking place on the property than
currently due to the increased usage of the Club by members, which has caused
Mr. Bonadies to reduce the number of weddings.
The average number of attendees is 120 for a wedding.
Mr. Schepis requested that
Mr. Bonadies to explain the $1500 auxiliary membership. Mr. Bonadies indicated that the auditors
recommended that the auxiliary membership be formed to maintain the non-profit
status of the Club. These are extended
to those wishing to have weddings, for example, at the Club. The auxiliary membership is a limited
membership allowing privileges to the restaurant and bar. Mr. Bonadies
testified that very few of the auxiliary members visit the restaurant. Currently there are 58 auxiliary
members. The membership lasts for a year
and then must be renewed.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to the insurance coverage provided to the Club. Mr. Bonadies indicated that this handout accurately
reflects the insurance held by the Club.
Marked as Exhibit A-14.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify about the purchase of the tent structure erected on the property
attached to the club building. Exhibit
A-15 is letter from Brian Laird,
Construction Official, and receipt of purchase of tent. Mr. Laird indicated that tent did not require
a building permit, based on certain conditions. The structure is permanent, but
the tarp is temporary and is removed during winter months.
Page 5
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to indicate on the plans the location of the bridal suite. Mr. Bonadies indicates that is it located
over the main entrance and not connected to the offices. Must be accessed through main ballroom. Room is 10' x 20' in area. The refurbishment of the bridal suite
consisted of new wallpaper, but it was not expanded in any way. Most brides do not use to get ready. 80% of the use of the area is for bands or
DJs to perform.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to the modifications of the cottage proposed. Mr. Bonadies indicated that bathrooms are
needed and this is where they would be located.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to use of ball field for parking.
Includes the three holidays, particularly Memorial Day, Labor Day and a
beach party. Mr. Bonadies indicates that
parking is organized and no issues based on his knowledge have occurred. He would be willing to have a police officer
direct traffic. Additional parking would
be on the east side near the paddle courts, but not beyond the Crooked
Brook. The Grove would also provide
overflow, but Mr. Bonadies would accept as a condition to limit parking to
employees or valet parking.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to the other elements on the property. Mr. Bonadies testified that patios have been
added and improved for safety and uniformity to make ground more even. Snack facilities are leased to vendors. Bathrooms are needed near this snack
area. The guard / gate house is
important to replace the existing temporary table and umbrella for
check-ins. It would accommodate security
guard or valet and provide shelter.
Mr. Schepis asked Mr. Bonadies
to testify as to staff. Mr. Bonadies
testified that full maintenance staff totals 10; 20 in kitchen staff; 25 to 30
wait staff (in total, work in shifts); and security staff May to November to
walk grounds.
Mr. Schepis indicted that he
concluded the witness's testimony.
Mr. Buraszeski opened up the
question to the professionals. Mr.
Burgis asked Mr. Bonadies if he is willing to limit the number of weddings to a
specified amount. Mr. Bonadies indicated
that in his opinion there would be little impact from weddings if increased
over time since he feels the number of dinners has the largest impact in terms
of business of Club. Mr. Burgis advised
the board to explore the impact on neighborhood of a certain cap on number of
Mr. Buraszeski opened up
questioning to the board. Mr. Petrozzino
asked the purpose of the auxiliary membership and in particular weddings is to
offset cost of any increase in membership and if any income is retained. Mr. Bonadies indicated all the money goes
back into the club, we use the money toward maintenance, the dam, housing
grounds, roofs, etc.
Mr. Olsen asked about parking
and where guests are directed to park.
Mr. Bonadies responded that the parking is at the main lot. Mr. Olsen
indicates that there should be a plan if the main lot is full due to member
events. Is the tent up for less than 180
days a year? Mr. Bonadies: Yes. Mr. Olsen asked about the number of events
and how they have increased over time.
Mr. Bonadies agreed that the 50% increase per year is a trend. Mr. Bonadies indicated that as membership
grew, so did expenses, and the number of weddings were increased as membership
grew to offset membership fees. Mr.
Olsen: Do improvements to property allow
for more events at club? Mr. Bonadies:
Mr. Moore asked the witness
about the decision-making process for the installations to date done without
approval. The witness responded that he,
in concert with the board, make decisions as to physical improvements. The kids snack area was muddy so we made it
safer by putting a stone wall up so they would stay away from the grill
area. Volley ball courts were moved and
did not know that a permit was required; we had a septic system that needed to
be removed. Mr. Schepis - The court was
shown on the
Page 6
2006 site plan as big sand
area. Mr. Bonadies – There were existing
fences that were made 1 ½' higher for safety purposes. The lifeguard house was moved because it was
in front of the club, it was unsightly and animals were living in it. It was moved closer the water. Added concrete wheel stops to stop the
members from parking on the grass. By
the brook the railroad tie wall existed; we replaced it to clean it up. Mr. Moore
– You have made a lot of improvements that you should have come to the Township
for approvals.
Mr. Bonadies – There will be
a microwave and a small fridge in the cabin.
No major cooking proposed. Mr.
Buraszeski – For the auxiliary members does the $1,500 come off the price of
the wedding or event. Mr. Bonadies –
Yes. Mr. Buraszeski – You leave the
frame of the tent up currently? Mr. Bonadies
– Yes.
Mr. Buraszeski – Do you
benefit financially with more large parties.
Mr. Bonadies – The Board will give me a bonus if I do more social
events. Mr. Ackerman – You testified
before you complied with the conditions of the Construction Official as it
relates to the tent.. Mr. Bonadies - Yes.
Mr. Ackerman – The condition states that the tent not be left up more
than 180 days a year and did you not just testify that you leave the frame
up? Mr. Bonadies – Yes. Mr. Ackerman - Did you understand that a
temporary structure means that the structure is to be removed? Mr. Bonadies – We will do that in the
future. You could not see the framing
but if that is one of the conditions then we will comply. Mr. Ackerman – So the conditions are not met
per Mr. Laird's memo. Mr. Ackerman – How
many weddings in October and what are the hours? Mr. Bonadies - 15 weddings, 2 on a Saturday
11:30am-5pm and 6pm-11pm. Mr. Ackerman –
2 on Sunday? Mr. Bonadies – No, 1 on
Sunday, occasionally 2 during September and October. Mr. Ackerman – So how do you get 15 in a
month? Mr. Bonadies – 5 weekends in
Mr. Ackerman – Did you change
your certificate of incorporation for 400 families since the by-laws allowed
for 325 members? Mr. Bonadies –
Yes. Mr. Ackerman – Did you ask for a
variance to increase your membership.
Mr. Bonadies – No. Mr. Hug – How
many staff members are on site during a wedding. Mr. Bonadies – About 15 for weddings, a lot
more required for ala carte dinners. Mr.
Bonadies – As a general practice we do not do daytime weddings in the
summer. Mr. Hug – Where do the staff
park? Mr. Bonadies – By the maintenance
garage and going towards the snack bar towards the dam. Mr. Shirkey – You were concerned with
building permits for the tent structure when you have to drop $16,000. Everything you do to a structure that is
commercially operated needs a permit.
Mr. Shirkey – There is no food preparation at the cabin? Mr. Bonadies – No, it is not planned to be
used as a snack bar.
Mr. Bonadies - Saturday
during the day is not a busy time at the club compared to Sunday and during the
week. Mr. Shirkey – Where do you see the
club in 10 years? Mr. Bonadies – Exactly
where it is today, the members do not want to increase the membership. Mr. Shirkey – Would like the balance of
parties from the auxiliary membership list.
Mr. Schepis – So you want a complete list of all the parties from
2010-2011 with the type of membership shown.
Mr. Hug – So the auxiliary membership fee is a deposit. Mr. Bonadies – It is shown on the bill as a
membership fee, I could inflate the pricing to receive the $1,500 either
Discussion ensued on the
impervious coverage. Mr. Schepis
indicated that the applicant's Planner will deal with that issue. Mr. Buraszeski – Your 2006 approval requires
valet parking and now you say that Lt. Peterson does not require valet parking,
are you requesting relief from that condition?
Mr. Schepis – Lt. Peterson agreed to an officer to be placed on site to
help guide people during the 3 large events during the year and it worked
during Memorial Day weekend. Mr.
Buraszeski – Do you do valet at other large events? Mr. Bonadies – On some of them but most do
not need valet parking.
Open to public
Josh Mann, Esq. – Do you
receive commissions for weddings? Mr. Bonadies
– Nothing in the contract, but I guess I could.
Mr. Mann – Have you received any commissions for any weddings? Mr. Bonadies – Yes.
Page 7
Mr. Mann – When someone wants
to do a wedding how does it work? Mr. Bonadies
– I become the wedding planner. Mr. Mann
– Do any members of the board have relatives that are vendors on your vendor
list? Mr. Bonadies – No we try to stay
away from that. Mr. Mann – Is there a
hard and fast time set to end a wedding?
Mr. Bonadies – Yes it is in the contract. Mr. Mann – Can the time be extended for a
fee? Mr. Bonadies – Yes but it does not
happen often. Discussion ensued on
recent events of more than 60 people. A
list will be submitted to the board. Mr.
Mann – The reason for the weddings is to keep the membership dues down. Mr. Bonadies – It is one of many reasons.
Dennis O'Brien – previously
When is the current usage of
high numbers of weddings compared to?
Mr. Bonadies – In the 1990s we had a high number of weddings before the
kitchen was improved. Mr. O'Brien – Then
if you could handle the same number of weddings, why expand the kitchen? Mr. Bonadies – We did it for the
members. Mr. O'Brien – Do the house
members pay the same amount as the auxiliary members? Mr. Bonadies – No the house members pay
additional monthly fees. Mr. O'Brien –
Do you agree that the auxiliary membership really is not a membership of the
club. They do not share in the same
privileges as the house members and they only use the club once for the year
for their event. Mr. Bonadies – When you
put it that way then yes. Mr. O'Brien –
If you use the club for non-members for more than 15% of the revenues you are
in violation of your non-profit status.
Mr. Bonadies – I have people above me that say we are not in
violation. Mr. O'Brien – Do you realize
that the club cannot hold it out for goods and services to the general public
or you are in violation of the non-profit status. You indicated earlier that you advertise to
the general public for weddings and parties.
Mr. Bonadies – That is not my line of expertise.
Ken Nemeth – previously sworn
Does your insurance cover
pollution? Mr. Bonadies – Will get back
to you on that. Mr. Nemeth – Underneath
the gravel from the garbage area to the road what was there? Mr. Bonadies – There was nothing under the
gravel, it's not paved and we have not dumped gravel down there in at least 24
years. Mr. Nemeth – What was the dump
trucks doing there this weekend? Mr. Bonadies
– They were fixing potholes in the parking lot.
Donald Bauman – previously
Have you received the
violation that the paddle ball court lights are on past 10pm? Mr. Bonadies – I have received 1
Gladys Nemirow – previously
The club was not falling
apart when you came. Mr. Bonadies – When
I said falling apart, I was discussing the interior. Ms. Nemirow – The interior was done before
you got there. Ms. Nemirow – Since the
restaurant was open Saturday night was always the busiest night. Does the bar make money? Mr. Bonadies – Some money, but its relative,
the bar is only open a few days a week and not open to the public. Ms. Nemirow – We were under the understanding
that the bar did not make money.
Diane List – previously sworn
Did you say the staff would
not park in the grove? Mr. Bonadies –
No, I would like them to park in the grove.
Ms. List – Will there be lighting?
Mr. Bonadies – We would like lights if there is parking in the grove,
would like employee parking in the grove and valet parking 3 times a week on
occasion. Ms. List – I do not want
parking in the grove.

This dress is made from a beautiful Spanish tulle. It is ethereal, elegant, and stunning. I am still getting compliments on it, six months after my wedding! It is easy to move in, photographs beautifully, and looks magical on the dance floor.
The dress was worn in an outdoor ceremony and the delicate fabric does have a few snags. The "wear and tear" is only noticeable with a very close examination and would not show up in photos.
This is an absolutely gorgeous dress and I hope someone else can get as much enjoyment out of it as I did.
Please feel free to email me with any questions. more photos available.

Reviews for Caramel Fudge Cheesecake
"This is the worst recipe you have ever put out. 20 minutes is NOT ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE THE BROWNIE. Either a misprint or not tested thoroughly. The ingredients for this are expensive and to have to throw this runny , sloppy mess in the trash after all that work is really upsetting."
"Absolutley delicious! I made this for Easter (and actually made it gluten free) and had people request the recipe so they could make it the next day for a get-together!"
"This was absolutely delicious...my family raved over it...and even though my brownie was not completely done...that was the best part because of the fudginess! I will definitely be making this again!"
"I was very disappointed. This was made for a Christmas party and when I pre-cut the cheesecake before the party, I found the brownie crust was still raw! I am not an inexperienced baker so I'm not sure why everyone else raved about this recipe. Fortunately I had some cookies on hand to take to the party."
"I made a big mistake to cheat. I tried to substitute caramel for caramel ice cream syrup. BAD move! This was very good. Took it to work for a birthday. Everyone of course loved it. Can't go wrong with chocolate."

The New York Daily News reported a story today about a Dallas mother who unsuccessfully tried to drown her two daughters (4 and 6) yesterday. Fortunately, Jydesmon Gardner, 18, busted in and saved his two sisters from certain death. Sonya Ann Gardner, 35, became angry with her daughters after they kept asking for snacks. In a rage, she filled their bathtub with water and tried to drown the children. She later told authorities she was high from smoking marijuana laced with PCP earlier in the day.
After Gardner's son Jydesmon heard screams coming from his mother's apartment, he forced his way in. Police say he discovered his mother trying to drown his sisters in a filled bathtub. The teenager pulled out a gun and fired a warning shot. He then bolted past his mother, grabbed his soaked sisters and ran.
The traumatized 6-year-old told authorities they were "fixing to die." She told the police that her mother was going to drown them. Concerned neighbors kept the girls until Child Protective Services arrived. Dallas authorities have charged Sonya Gardner with two counts of attempted capital murder of a child. Her bond has been set at $1 million dollars. Child Protective Services placed the children in foster care.
Because of a parole violation for an unrelated incident, the teenage brother left the scene after saving his sisters. Police want to speak to him about the incident. Police also said the wanted teenager could be in trouble for having a gun, which also violated his probation terms.
Ernest Gardner, the suspect's brother told Fox News that his sister's actions were out of character for her. She didn't have any previous problems with Children Services and she has one prior arrest for possessing marijuana. A neighbor said the mother was sobbing and apologetic for trying to kill her children.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court announced in a 9-0 decision (McCullen v. Coakley) that the Massachusetts law establishing a 35-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics violated the First Amendment.
According to The Washington Post, "Writing for the court, Chief Justice John Roberts concludes that the statute was content-neutral, and thus avoids strict scrutiny, but is not narrowly tailored because it burdens more speech than is necessary to advance the government's interests in ensuring clinic access and public safety."
The opinion states, ""It is no accident that public streets and sidewalks have developed as venues for the exchange of ideas...Even today, they remain one of the few places where a speaker can be confident that he is not simply preaching to the choir…. In light of the First Amendment's purpose 'to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail…,' this aspect of traditional public fora is a virtue, not a vice." [Alliance Defending Freedom]
Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life said, "In a brazen affront to the First Amendment, Massachusetts government officials had sought to use the threat of arrest and criminal conviction to silence those offering women life-affirming alternatives to abortion. The Supreme Court rightly rejected this unlawful attempt to deny pro-life Americans their First Amendment rights."
Some advocates believe that this decision will soon affect similar laws in other states. Roger Evans, senior counsel at Planned Parenthood for America said "If you were a betting man, you would bet that they would all go." [MSNBC]
The decision in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, where the justices consider if for-profit corporations can refuse to provide contraceptives as mandated by Obamacare is expected on Monday.

One of the most widely accepted portfolio management theories resulted from a study in 1986 by Brinson, Hood, and Beebower. The study concluded that 93.6% of portfolio variation could be explained by asset allocation. Although this study has its merits, one might argue that portfolio variation can be explained by market movements. Before placing your portfolio into a long term buy-and-hold allocation there are some things you may want to consider.
Unlike today, this study was conducted at a time when the world markets had lower correlation with each other. Over the last 25 years, world economies have become more interdependent and thus much more correlated. What this means is that when European and Asian markets are facing challenges, domestic markets are also being challenged. Furthermore, this theory became available at the beginning of one of the largest secular bull markets in history. Buy-and-hold investment strategies tend to work well in long term secular bull markets but as you may have experienced more recently, they do not hold up as well in secular bear markets. Let's take a look at some different and very basic strategies.
Some investors seek out value opportunities within an under-performing sector or even a security that may have pulled back due to any number of exogenous events. Other investors are willing to pay up for companies with high growth rates with the expectation that the company will continue to grow faster than its peers. Both of these strategies have their benefits but when applied to portfolio management, they usually fall into a long term buy-and-hold strategy.
More recently, we've seen a greater number of alternative investments such as managed futures and hedge funds that, due to their low correlations to the market, can often compliment a portfolio by lowering the risk compared to the market. Despite these more widely accepted investment strategies, many investors have come to expect that if the market is up their portfolio will be up and conversely, if the market is down their portfolio will be down. Investors may want to consider broadening their traditional asset allocation strategies by adding risk management strategies.
The process of risk management builds upon existing asset allocation methodologies by attempting to minimize downside market capture and maximize upside capture. The goal of this process is to lower exposure and become defensive to the markets when risk is high and identify lower risk entry points and increase exposure when market risk is low. In other words, it's a disciplined process of attempting to buy low and sell high and it goes against our nature to sell when markets are down and buy when markets are doing well.
Most measures of volatility, which are often used synonymously with risk, fail to register until well after a market correction is underway. Consequently, many portfolio managers that attempt to manage risk continue to raise more and more cash as the portfolio or the market continue to decline. Essentially what they are doing is selling at low prices and waiting for better markets to present themselves before buying again. The problem is they are systematically selling more at lower prices and buying more at higher prices as part of their discipline. There are a few methods for combating market volatility
Two methods that can offer some relief are Risk Managed Tactical Asset Allocation (RMTAA) and Risk Managed Absolute Return (RMAR) portfolios. RMTAA is an active management portfolio strategy that re-balances the percentage of assets held in various categories in order to take advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors with a focus on managing risk in the portfolio. Rather than allocate evenly across different sectors and assets classes, RMTAA focuses on the selection of favored sectors or even securities that are in favor and holding those securities until they fall out of favor.
Similarly A Risk Managed Absolute Return portfolio (RMAR) seeks to make positive returns by employing investment management techniques that differ from traditionally managed portfolios. Rather than pursue market returns a RMAR portfolio pursues a specified growth objective such as inflation plus a fixed rate of return. Other RMAR portfolios may choose to achieve a purely fixed rate of return regardless of how markets perform. If a portfolio manager can set a reasonable percentage goal, instead of attempting to outperform the market, the manager can focus more on risk and potentially create more predictable results for your portfolio. This also allows the portfolio manager to sit on the sidelines and wait for lower risk entry points into the market and furthermore, to raise high levels of cash when the objectives have been met or when market risk increases.
The process of risk management will be explained in greater depth as we explore the following questions over the next series of commentaries:
What to buy?
When to buy?
How much to buy?
When to sell a winner?
When to sell a loser?
When to sell a laggard?

DVD Review: Arthur Christmas & Strawberry Sorbet in a popsicle Recipe
November 12, 2012 by Rajee
Filed under 2012 Holiday Gift Guide, Entertainment, Entertainment, Jaihari, Kids & Teen, Kids Movies/Education DVD, Kids/Teen, Movies/DVD, Product Review, Review, Shop, Sony Pictures
Brought to you by Arthur Christmas. Available now on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD
Christmas is so enjoyable to see the latest British/American 3-D computer animated Christmas fantasy comedy film, produced by Aardman Animations and Sony Pictures Animation. We feel it is the most wanted film liked by kids of all ages.
It is smart heart-warming story with Santa and hundreds of elves deliver Christmas gifts to every child in the world using advanced equipment and military precision.
Jaihari introduces this movie that tells the story of Santa's clumsy son, Arthur Christmas. He has a brother named, Steve. Both Santa and Steve deliver presents to every child in the world using high-tech equipment. This entire operation is managed by Steve and his assistant Peter (amongst thousands of more elves).
Whan all the presents got deliverd, it turned out one person didn't get a present. Steve and Santa said that they couldn't get there on their ship that looked like a sleigh.
During their family Christmas dinner, Arthur started to play a board game. There will be a pretty quarrel between Santa and Steve. Grand-Santa is bored by retirement. He wants to prevent his child's disappointment and manages to recover delivering the gift using his old wooden sleigh, Evie, and the descendants of the original eight reindeer. They face lot of failure by losing reindeer, and land in danger places. Steve refuses to help them and his father has gone to bed. Let your kids watch and find out whether the girl will receive present before Christmas morning dawns. I bet they will have lot of fun and leave them with excitement till the story ends.
Mark your calendar to join Arthur's Army of Elves to celebrate the kickoff of the "12 Days of Arthur Christmas" in your location at http://www.arthurchristmas.com/. There will be lot of fun opportunites in every visit. The event is completely FREE.
I would love to share Strawberry Sorbet in a popsicle recipe. It is very cool and refreshing to enjoy while watching this movie.
Strawberry -16 to 20 (hulled and chopped)
Sugar syrup – 1/2 cup or to taste
Lemon juice – 2 tbsp
The taste of sugar after freezing the sorbet will be reduced and so I added little bit more enough to get sweet taste. For cocktail lovers, 2 tbsp of any liquor can be added.
Puree the strawberry in a blender. Add sugar syrup and lemon juice and blend again and again till the strawberry is well blended.
Pour it into popsicle stick or kulfi mould or ice-cream mould and freeze for 6 hours.
To freeze fast for 3 to 4 hours, it can pour into stainless steel pan and cover with a plastic wrap.
Remove from freeze and thaw for 5 minutes and blend it to break the large ice crystals formed from the sorbet, in the ice crush section of the blender. Pour it back to the same pan and refreeze atleast 3 hrs or upto several days.
Note: Sugar can also be added instead of sugar syrup but it'll not spread evenly to the sorbet when freezing.

• UW Bowl Game Central | CoachSark.com Blog
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Turns out Chris Polk has carried more than his Huskies these last three, turnaround seasons.
He's carried Keith Price.
The fourth-year junior running back shares a Seattle apartment with Price. Without the arrangement, the Huskies (7-5) may not be here preparing for Thursday night's Alamo Bowl against Baylor (9-3) -- because the gritty Price may not have been able to play in every game and set Washington's season record with 29 touchdown passes despite three knee sprains, one sprained ankle and a bruised shoulder.
"During the season there were games he was real beat up, where I had to carry him to the car and drive him to treatment," Polk said of his roommate Tuesday at the Marriott RiverWalk, a couple blocks and days away from where Polk will play what could be his final game for UW.
"I had to help him elevate his leg in our apartment. I kind of made fun of him because when I was seeing him jogging I would tell him to go get Epsom salts and soak his knees."
Now that's value.
This city, much of the state of Texas and all of college football are fixing their pre-Bowl Championship Series attention on Robert Griffin III, Baylor's Heisman Trophy winner who struck a Heisman pose on stage to thrill Bears fans at a pep rally Tuesday night. The buzz for "RGIII" will continue through kickoff Thursday at 6 p.m. on ESPN television, ESPN Radio, espn3.com, plus on the Washington IMG College radio network, and here on GoHuskies.com with the game chat and pictures from the Alamodome sidelines.
Yet Polk is just as valuable to his Huskies.
And that value goes beyond his courier acts of kindness for Price. Beyond his running like a bull through three 1,000-yard seasons. Beyond the 125-yard game he had in this season's opener two weeks following arthroscopic knee surgery. And beyond the fact he is 205 yards from breaking the Huskies' career rushing record set by Napoleon Kaufman from 1991-94.
Coach Steve Sarkisian says the revitalization he's led in three seasons as the Dawgs' coach would not have happened had Polk followed through on his intentions and quit football and gone home to Redlands, Calif., following his injury-shortened and winless 2008 season at Washington.
The 37-year-old Sarkisian also says he hasn't been more proud of a player and person than he is of Polk.
"The growth that he's made from the day we stepped on campus, not only on the football field but in his personal life, in the classroom, has been the thing that has probably been most impressive to me," Sarkisian said Wednesday. "As coaches there are little things that make you proud along the way. And he's definitely one of them.
"The fact that he's already earned his degree from the University of Washington, the fact that he's probably been -- and this is not to take anything away from a guy by the name of Jake Locker -- the biggest reason why we've climbed as quickly as we've climbed from the depths of 0 and 12. (It's been) our ability to win all of the times that have gotten tough on us, to rely on number 1 to run the football, to win tough games late in the season. (It's) not only the physical but mental toughness to take on those amounts of carries and to practice the way he's practiced that speaks volumes."
Price sure appreciates his all his roomie does.
"Oh, man, it makes me job a lot easier," said Price, who is also about to break the Huskies' single-season records for completion percentage (he's currently at .674) and passing efficiency in his first season as Locker's replacement. "We just feed the rock to the beast and let him roll with it, and it opens me up."
By the way, what does Price owe Polk for carrying him to the car at his most aching times this season?
"He doesn't owe me anything. Just throwing touchdowns," Polk said, chuckling. "As long as I get to see that smile and we're winning, we're good."
Polk asked for and has received back from the NFL's draft advisory committee an assessment on where he might be selected in April should he decide to forgo his senior season. He and Sarkisian won't disclose what that estimation is, of course. They will meet in the days and perhaps hours after Thursday's game to discuss it.
Eligible underclassmen have until Jan. 15 to enter the 2012 NFL draft.
Polk, who walked at UW graduation last June, finished his final classes this month. He said should he decide to stay he would take classes towards a second degree next academic year.
"I've given it a little more thought. I would call it more like a daydream, if you will, because I am not really going in depth with it," he said of the NFL. "It's just the idea that I could continue with that transition.
"But I still have a game to play. And I'm still focused on Baylor. That's where my mind is right now."
Sarkisian has been through this before, from when he was an assistant close to quarterback Carson Palmer and running back Reggie Bush at USC to Locker following the Huskies' 2009 season. The coach is taking the emotions of obviously wanting the bedrock of his program back next year out of this process.
"For Chris at this point, this is a business decision. This isn't about what feels fun or what feels right," Sarkisian said. "He's earned his degree. He's played great football for us. Now, (it's) `Is this the right draft for me? Would I be drafted in the right spot to do what I know I am capable of doing? And could I benefit more by coming back? Could I improve my position coming back next year and what might the draft look like next year?'
"So that's what a lot of the discussion needs to be about. It's not about emotions. It's not about `Boy, I can't take another x number of carries,' because either league you go in you are going to get those carries. It's a matter of, `Where am I positioned, where am I potentially slotted?'"
Sarkisian mentioned that sometimes the draft advisory committee's assessment doesn't jibe with a player's view of his NFL value, and that becomes a factor.
Polk says he won't base his choice strictly on that committee's draft assessment, either.
"What glitters isn't always gold," is how he put it.
Polk has done almost everything he could have done at Washington since almost quitting football in 2008. He injured his shoulder in the first month of his freshman season, and while the Huskies went 0-12 Polk told his mother he was heading back to Redlands, that college life wasn't for him.
Edrena Polk wasn't having any of that. She told him to stay at UW. Demanded it, really.
She is due to arrive here Thursday morning to watch her son in the Alamo Bowl. Then she will become the central figure in Chris' decision on whether to stay a Husky or go pro.
Just as she has been the central figure throughout his life.
"The first person I go to is my mom. ... She's always there for me. She's never served me wrong. She's the reason why I'm here, why I'm still playing football, one of the main reasons why I'm successful," Polk said.
"Mother knows best, you know."
Edrena Polk is a nurse manager of the psychiatric clinic at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, Calif., in San Bernardino Country near where she has raised Chris, Lawrence and younger daughter Faedra. She convinced Chris to walk away from a verbal commitment to USC, to rebuild a program at Washington rather than wait in a line of blue-chip backs at an established power close to home.
She convinced Polk of the value of having a head start on his college academics from enrolling early at UW as a freshman. She also demanded at the end of 2008 that he finish what he had started.
So Polk stayed. Sarkisian and his staff arrived and changed the way Polk and the Huskies did everything - the way they practiced, the way they lifted weights, the way they ate and dressed.
And the way they won.
That was a fairly good decision, eh?
Now this former high school wide receiver is the Huskies record holder with 20 career 100-yard games and 769 career carries. Polk and Kaufman are the only Huskies to rush for 1,000 yards in three different seasons. Polk's 1,341 yards this season was third in the Pac-12 during the regular season and stands as the fifth-most in Washington's 120 seasons of football.
So why not leave for the NFL? Why come back for a fifth, senior season to sit it classrooms despite being a college graduate, to work more for free rather than for the first big money of his life?
"The record, for sure the record," Polk said of Kaufman's career rushing mark, which Polk feels would validate him as the best rusher ever at UW should he break it. "And just me as a player feeling like I haven't played to the best of my abilities. I want to be 100 percent overall better, just to feel like I am at the peak of my performance before I make that transition.
"I could make more people miss, take those 20-yard runs and turn them into 80. Just overall knowledge of the game, and being sound in every aspect of the game."
He said the relatively short career span of the average NFL running back weighs on him "a little bit."
"But I'm a tough guy," he deadpanned.
That's from the same man who romped for 125 yards in Washington's opener Sept. 3, two weeks and two days following arthroscopic knee surgery.
He says he didn't have personal goals for this season that he needs to fulfill Thursday night. Washington will be trying to win its eighth game, following a 7-6 season in 2010 -- capped by Polk's 34 carries and 177 yards in the win over Nebraska in last December's Holiday Bowl.
"My only goal I had was to improve on last year," Polk said. "We will see after this game if we did that, but whether we win or lose I feel we made a step forward instead of a step back. That means the most to me. Just overall, the energy and the physicality the team brought. That's been great to me."
So his decision on the NFL will wait for one more game.
"After the game, the day after, I have to sit down with my family and really analyze both sides of it and do what's best for me," he said. "I know it's going to be a tough decision.
"I hope I make the right one."
My gut feeling?
We all better enjoy one final romp by big ol' No. 1 in purple and goal Thursday night.
The man who turned around his life while carrying his roommate and the rest of the Huskies for three years likely has only a few carries left for Washington.
Something tells me they are going to be memorable ones.

May 19, 2014
LAKE FOREST, Ill.- Seeing Jordan Lynch lined up next to the quarterback, donned in navy blue and orange and wearing No. 36, was let's face it, strange.
After all, Lynch had spent the last eight years of his football career as the quarterback, first at Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago and then at NIU. As the Huskies' starting quarterback over the last two years, Lynch twice broke the NCAA record for rushing yards by a QB and finished his career ranked third all-time at NIU in rushing yards
Working out under the watchful eyes of the Bears coaching staff and the Chicago media in his second day of rookie mini camp, Lynch looked just as comfortable as any NFL veteran.
"It's awesome to come out here and do what I know how to do," Lynch said. "Players play football, fly around and have fun. I'm just trying to help out the Chicago Bears any way possible."
The former Huskie quarterback began his second day of drills at Halas Hall with 65 other players, including former NIU defensive lineman Anthony Wells, as a Bear running back. However, Lynch's action was not limited to taking handoffs and running routes out of the backfield. He spent a good chunk of Saturday's workout in special teams drills.
"I'm trying to jump on as many special teams as possible," he said. " I want to help out the team any way possible no matter what it is. If it's a wedge breaker on kickoffs like I was doing today or returning some kicks, I'll do whatever to help them out."
Known as one of the toughest players on the NIU squad, the Heisman finalist brushed up on his defensive skills, running through a pair tackling dummy drills before moving on to punt and kickoff coverage drills. It was his first "defensive" practice since playing safety for Team USA prior to his freshman year at NIU. Lynch also got some reps at running back during the team portion of practice, working in behind fourth round pick Ka'Deem Carey.
Following practice, Lynch was held after with another rookie, to field kickoffs for about five minutes. He handled every opportunity cleanly. It was just one more skill Lynch wanted to develop to do whatever he could to make the team.
