News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, July 5, 2013
WINDSOR, S.C. (WRDW) -- Recently, on rainy days, portions of Oak Ridge Club Road in Windsor are a mess.
Keith Barton lives on a particularly bad unpaved stretch of the road.
"It's just recently started getting this bad," Barton said. "I'd like to see some drainage ditches put in the side where the water would have somewhere to go."
He says that the recent rain has made the flooding is even worse.
"We were trying to go get groceries a couple days ago when it got real bad, and we stopped because it looked too deep to try, and we seen a truck come, so I said, I'll stop and wait right here and see if this truck get through it, and sure enough, it made it through it, but it was almost up to the headlight," Barton said.
On Friday, it hadn't been raining hard on the road, but News 12 saw puddles accumulating on the sides of the roads anyway.
"If we had an emergency, like if something was wrong with our youngin' or one of us, we need to get to the hospital or we need an ambulance out here, I'd be concerned with them getting down the road because if it gets 2 or 3 foot deep, we not going to be able to get through it in a car," Barton said.
Sharon Stillwell also lives along Oak Ridge Club Road. She said that she saw an ambulance get stuck on the road about a month ago.
Stillwell is also having problems along the road.
"It's almost impossible," she said. "I bought a new car, and I'm having to drive the old truck."
Even though a good portion of this road is paved, the section where a lot of people live is not. Neighbors say large agricultural trucks have also led to the degradation of the road.
"We'd just like to see something done about it. We're taxpayers, and we pay the same thing the people with the pavement pay," Barton said.
Stillwell says she feels the same way.
"I think we've paid taxes, and if you drive on any of the roads in Aiken County, I don't know where our money goes, but I don't see it going to the roads," she said.
News 12 talked to Aiken County Councilwoman Kathy Rawls. She says that the road will not be paved because they couldn't acquire right-of-way from some neighbors. She doesn't believe that flooding is a problem.
Neighbors say that flooding is happening. In fact, they say on Thursday, the Windsor Fire Department had to pump water off the road so people could go down it.

I went into De Lauer's Super News Stand in Oakland, and there wasn't a Sports Illustrated magazine to be found. The clerk smiled and said a number of people had already been in that morning asking for it. He offered to put my name down on a list.
Why the sudden demand for SI? This wasn't the popular swimsuit issue featuring buxom models bursting out of skimpy bikinis. Two words. "Mo'ne Davis."
Davis, in case you haven't heard, is the 13-year-old pitching ace from Philadelphia. She is the first girl to throw a shutout in the Little League World Series and became an overnight national sensation.
Sports Illustrated put Davis, who is African-American, on the cover. It was the first time a Little League player had been featured so prominently. Albert Chen, who wrote the article, called Davis, "a lot of things to a lot of people, all of them good things: a totem for inner-city baseball, a role model for your 10-year-old niece, a role model for your 10-year-old nephew."
Add to that list a role model for women who were denied the right to participate in male sports like baseball because we grew up pre- and in the early years of Title IX. The federal law passed in 1972 prohibited discrimination based on gender for any educational program or activity that receives federal funds. It has had a huge impact on girls' and women's participation in sports despite continuous efforts by some to water down the legislation, claiming it hurts boys and men's sports. The year before Title IX passed there were about 310,000 girls and women in the U.S. playing high school and college sports. Now, there are more than 3.3 million.
I get a vicarious thrill watching Davis, cool as a cucumber, fire 70 mph fastballs past her male opponents. It transports me back to my childhood.
When I was in sixth grade, I was never without my glove. I played center field and could throw a runner out at home. I could hit. But there was no Little League for girls in New Delhi, India, where my family was living. There was however, a Little League for boys.
One of the coaches invited me to join his team. I still remember my excitement taking the field for my first game in my new uniform. My joy did not last long. I don't think I'd been out there 10 minutes before some guy in the stands yelled, "get that girl off the field!" The heckling continued when I went up to bat. I was terrified. I was the only girl and the only African-American.
It was my first and last game. The league organizers, which included the husband of my sixth-grade teacher, got together to officially ban girls, which in effect meant me. My teacher spent much of the rest of the year lecturing me about the proper place for girls.
It was the same year that another girl named Maria Pepe from Hoboken, New Jersey, sued for the right to play Little League. League officials claimed that girls didn't have the skill or stamina to play. Pepe won her lawsuit, but by then she was too old to play. She helped break down the barrier that paved the way for Davis.
Fans lined up for tickets at the stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, 12 hours before Davis and her team, the Taney Dragons, were scheduled to play Las Vegas. (The Dragons lost 8-1.) Record numbers of TV viewers tuned in on ESPN and countless others on the Internet. People were hawking baseballs purportedly signed by Davis for $500 on eBay.
People who couldn't have cared less about Little League in the past were rooting for the eighth-grader with braids down her back to go all the way.
Some speculated about whether she might become the first woman to pitch in the major leagues. Davis says she wants to play basketball -- at the college level and then go on to the WNBA. She's only 13. Who knows what she ends up doing?
Alas, the story of Davis and the Taney Dragons does not have a Hollywood ending. On Thursday, the Dragons lost to the Jackie Robinson West team of Chicago in a hard-fought 6-5 elimination game. Davis wasn't allowed to pitch. Under league rules, a pitcher who exceeds the number of allowed pitches is required to rest the arm.
I'm sorry I didn't get to watch her again in the Saturday championship, but I doubt this is the last we'll be hearing about Mo'ne Davis.

It's Been a Rough 12 Days...
I'll keep this short and sweet because it's been a rough 12 days for me, with what would have been my mother's 67th birthday one day and the awful news about Whitney the next. I can't even think about it... we'll talk about that some other time, but for now I just want to be sure you're planning on going to the movie theaters to see GOOD DEEDS this weekend.
GOOD DEEDS opens tomorrow, Friday February 24th, everywhere. It's the opening weekend box office numbers that count in Hollywood. That is how they judge you, so if you can make it to the theaters this weekend, please do so. I never ever take for granted that you are automatically going to show up, but I tell you, I thank God that you do. I'm hoping that this time is no different.
I gotta say, this is a different kind of role for me, but it felt good to try something different. You know that there are many people who think I can only do Madea. As much as we love her you and I both know better than that. This is the first time I have ever played a character that is this close to who I am as a man and as a person.
I think you're going to love it. GOOD DEEDS is going to make you smile, laugh and think, and at the end you're going to leave lifted and feeling good.
A friend of mine, who has always been honest with me, told me that this is my best movie yet. Tell me what you think. I'll be on Facebook and my message board all weekend long waiting for the true critics to speak, and that's you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Love you and know that I appreciate you so much,

Patrons can now enjoy a cold brew with their pizza at Over the Moon Pizza and Pub at 107 Front St. after co-owners Michael and Claire Mullen obtained Marietta's last remaining D5 liquor permit this month.
Issuance of that final permit by the Ohio Liquor Control Board also opens the door for establishment of a proposed revitalization district that could qualify Marietta's downtown district for as many as 15 additional liquor permits.
"We've had the license for a week now, and we're already seeing an uptick in business, especially during the evenings," Claire Mullen said. "And we've put up a new sign indicating we're now also a pub."

Claire Mullen, co-owner of Over the Moon Pizza and Pub at 107 Front St., draws a glass of beer Wednesday from the restaurant's new tap, recently installed after the business finally obtained a state liquor license.
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Prior to receiving the liquor license the restaurant, in business for more than two years, was known as Over the Moon Pizzeria.
"But serving beer and wine was part of our original business plan-pizza and beer, or wine with your spaghetti is an American tradition," Michael added. "Now we have beer on tap or in bottles, and we serve wine by the glass or bottled."
Obtaining the liquor permit was no easy task as all of the city's available liquor licenses had supposedly been taken when the Mullens opened shop in July 2010.
Fact Box

Over the Moon Pizza and Pub was granted the final open D5 liquor permit available in Marietta.
Issuance of the permit opens the door for the city to establish a downtown revitalization district and qualify for up to 15 additional D5l liquor licenses.
A letter of application has to be filed with Mayor Joe Matthews before city council can consider creating the revitalization district.
Source: City of Marietta and Times research.
"We engaged an attorney from Columbus to try to get a liquor license before we opened, but none was found available, so we were put on a list of businesses interested in obtaining a permit when the next opportunity came up," Michael Mullen said.
Shortly after opening the pizza business, Mullen, who was mayor of Marietta at the time, discovered a new state law allowing small cities to establish downtown revitalization districts that qualify for additional liquor licenses for restaurants that locate within those districts.
He proposed a downtown revitalization district to Marietta City Council, but the members had concerns that approving the proposal could be seen as a conflict of interest for the mayor who had just opened his new restaurant.
The proposal was also not warmly welcomed by some area bars and restaurant owners that already had liquor licenses in town and the idea was shelved.
But in August of this year the issue was resurrected as current Mayor Joe Matthews received an application requesting creation of a revitalization district from Jason Legraen, acting on behalf of Dr. Roger Anderson, owner of several downtown properties. Anderson already held one liquor license in Marietta.
"My primary reason for going forward with the revitalization district application was that additional liquor licenses would help increase business and benefit Marietta," Anderson said Wednesday. "It would impact economic development in the city."
He noted that anyone wanting to establish a restaurant business that serves wine or beer in Marietta would currently not be able to obtain a liquor license because the permits have all been taken.
"But they can easily obtain a permit in West Virginia across the river in Williamstown or Parkersburg," Anderson said. "The lack of available permits is taking business out of Marietta."
He added that more restaurants and other businesses are needed as this area is on the verge of an oil and gas boom from Ohio's Utica and Marcellus shale deposits.
"It's our choice to have that boom in Marietta or let it go to Parkersburg or Williamstown," Anderson said.
Anderson's initial application to establish a downtown revitalization district was found to be invalid in September because at that time the city had one D5 liquor permit that was still available.
City law director Paul Bertram III said the open permit was discovered by the Ohio Liquor Control Board while Bertram was doing research on establishing the revitalization district. He said the city could not qualify for a district until all existing liquor licenses were taken.
The Mullens immediately applied for that permit and were granted the liquor license this month.
"If we had known that permit was available we would have had it from the beginning," Michael Mullen said. "It was a no-brainer to apply for that last D5 license. We were ready for it."
The Mullens said even though they now have their liquor license, they still support a revitalization district in Marietta.
"We've seen how it has worked in other cities like Wooster," Michael Mullen said.
Wooster, the first city to establish a revitalization district, obtained five additional liquor licenses, designated D5l permits for revitalization districts only. All five of those licenses are now being used by eateries located within Wooster's district.
"Downtowns are so fragile in these communities, and we need a way to provide more opportunities for businesses to succeed," said Michael Mullen, currently a councilman. "Marietta is already a tourist mecca, and we need to be able to support those visitors with services and restaurants that complement our area attractions."
Marietta Councilman Roger Kalter, who chairs council's planning, zoning, annexation and housing committee, said another application would have to be filed to establish a revitalization district before that conversation could continue.
"We're now eligible to qualify for a revitalization district, but another letter requesting a district has not been received by the mayor's office at this time," he said. "I've had people asking about the revitalization district, and the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce is behind it, but someone has to submit an application to the mayor before we can put it back on the table."
Anderson said he expected another application would be filed after the first of the year.
"Revitalization would help level the playing field and keep business in Marietta," he said. "If not, all of that economic development will go across the river."

A win-win idea for FRP, local tourism
Published: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7:44 p.m.
The Flat Rock Playhouse and tourism and accommodations businesses should be able to forge a lasting partnership now that the theater has dropped its call for a controversial 1 percent room tax increase to help fund its operations.
The dispute over public funding that dominated headlines last year is receding and hopefully will be replaced by a more cooperative spirit. That is a good sign for the community and the one-of-a-kind theater thats been a cultural touchstone for more than 50 years.
When the Playhouse ran into financial troubles last year, residents and people across the nation responded by raising more than $500,000. Now the countys Tourism Development Authority is buying $25,000 worth of Playhouse tickets to use as incentives to lure visitors to stay at local accommodations.
The Playhouse board has asked county commissioners to shelve its earlier request for an increase in the local occupancy tax. The board understands that the new Stay & Play incentive program in partnership with the Tourism Development Authority is a less divisive and more rewarding alternative to the room tax increase, Playhouse trustee Robert Danos says.
Were hoping (commissioners) just let it sunset on their own and not bring it back up as an agenda item, Danos told the TDA board.
Theres little cause to worry about that. After initially supporting state legislation to authorize increasing the room tax to benefit the theater, commissioners shelved the question for six months. Now it appears the room tax idea will die a quiet death since the state law authorizing the tax increase expires in 2015.
The new ticket purchase program is an out-of-the-box solution to boost financial support for the Playhouse and demonstrate in very tangible terms its value to local tourism. The TDA will spend $25,000 to buy 781 tickets to major Playhouse productions. Accommodations will provide the tickets to visitors who stay at least two nights in response to online promotions.
Inns and motels will post the ticket packages on their websites. The businesses that attract the most visitors through the promotion will get the most tickets, TDA Director Beth Carden says. Lodging providers can price the Playhouse packages as they see fit but arent allowed to promote the tickets as free. The Playhouse, in return, will share information with lodging businesses about how many tickets are being used and who is using them, Carden says.
The Playhouse and lodging businesses both have strong incentives to make the pilot program a success. For inns and motels, it is a creative way to attract visitors and to get them to stay at least two nights, which helps boost other tourism businesses. For the Playhouse, pre-selling 781 tickets helps improve its financial outlook and predictability going into the new season. Its a win-win solution that holds the promise of bolstering tourism and helping to keep a cultural treasure flourishing.

Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT DR Crankbaits
The Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT DR retains the best features of the original SKT Mini DR and adds a few of its own. Bigger and faster than the original SKT Mini versions, the SKT DR can cover a lot more water and is great for fishing conditions different than the SKT Mini. Its larger profile makes it a great option for targeting those fish in cold or muddy water. Like the original Mini versions, the SKT DR gets to its dive depth quickly, so it stays in the strike zone longer. It also generates the same characteristic tight wobble and hypnotizing vibration of the originals with its flat-sided body shape. An internal weighting system provides great balance and helps the bait cast farther. Reliable, consistent and durable, the Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT DR is a versatile deep diving crankbait and a solid addition to any angler's tackle box.

SAN FRANCISCO -- BART officials are calling the death of a man crushed to death in an elevator shaft at one of its San Francisco stations "upsetting and disturbing," and said they have as many questions as answers about what happened.
The man's body was discovered Sunday about 9:35 p.m. after a person riding the elevator from the BART platform to the concourse level at the Montgomery Street station called the station agent to report the elevator had stopped, BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said.
That person was rescued, but rescue personnel discovered the body of a man in the shaft, Trost said. That man appeared to be crushed and was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:04 p.m., Trost said.
Police needed more than two hours to remove the body, finally doing so about 12:15 a.m. Monday, Trost said.
The dead man's identity was withheld pending the notification of his relatives.
The person who was stuck in the elevator told rescue personnel that he was riding the elevator when he heard a "crunching sound" in tandem with a scream as the elevator stalled, Trost said. The dead man had some personal belongings on the top of the elevator shaft, but BART officials stopped short of saying whether they were sure the man was living there.
"We've never heard of a case like this," Trost said. "Obviously, the circumstances surrounding this are upsetting and disturbing. We're trying to get details on why he was up there, and how he got there."
Trost said the elevator shaft was not accessible at street level, but that BART has ventilation shafts that lead to the elevator shafts. BART officials said they checked those shafts Monday and that they are secured.
"To have someone inside a shaft, that's unusual and disturbing," Trost said, adding that it's unclear how the person got there or how long he may have made a home in the shaft. "We need to get those questions answered as quickly as we can."
A hatch door in the elevator also could be used to get in the shaft, but Trost said a person likely would need a boost from someone or something else to get through it.
State inspectors will examine the elevator to make sure it's safe before it is open to the public again, Trost said. BART trains continued to run through the Montgomery Street station during the investigation and were not delayed. The elevator remained closed Monday, and Trost said BART hopes it will be back in service by March 20.

Stećak or the mediaeval tombstones are the monolith stone monuments found in the regions of the present Bosnia and Herzegovina, parts of Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia. The available sources suggest that they appear from the second half of the 12th century, then last through the 13th century and are intensively made and decorated in the 14th and 15th centuries. But in the 16th century they completely cease.
Out of 70,000 recorded tombstones from about 3,300 sites, some 60,000 are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 4,400 in Croatia, about 3,500 in Montenegro and some 4,100 in Serbia. The elementary tombstone groups are the laid and the upright stone monoliths.
The majority is the laid ones, occurring in three types: slab, chest and gabled or ridged. Among the upright monoliths, the following types are distinguished: stele, obelisk, cross and turban-shaped. The laid stones are actually the primary tombstone shape and occur in all the identified regions. Artistic shaping is expressed in the stone forms and decorations. The basic artistic quality is in the decorations done in two stone carving techniques. Most often it is a low relief, but there are also carved, engraved drawings.
Along with their accentuated symbolism characteristic to the mediaeval art, among the tombstone motifs we can find secular and religious symbols and other ornaments, interlaced and combined. Generally speaking, the mediaeval tombstones ornamentation reveals an understanding a feeling of an era, of the people who participated in their make, as well as of the deceased ones, finding there their last dwelling place and according to some sources, upon whose wishes those tombstones were made.
Besides their regional differentiation manifested in the use of shapes, ornamental motifs and quality, the mediaeval tombstones are usually found in clusters - in cemeteries belonging to some families, containing only a few stones, then in cemeteries of the whole clans, with about 30 to 50 stones and in village cemeteries, sometimes with several hundred stones. Particularly significant are the special cemeteries belonging to certain noble families of the highest feudal social stratum.
Based upon surveys, investigations and literary sources, on the territory of west Serbia, 203 mediaeval cemeteries have been recorded so far, with monolith tombstones of the mediaeval type we are considering. By the variety of their basic shapes, dimensions and ornamentation, by the number and types of the applied motifs, the mediaeval tombstones of Serbia are behind those of Hum (Herzegovina), but are equal to those of Bosnia, and are analogous to those of the Bosnian side of the Drina river region, the east Bosnia. Even among the stones of Serbia there are differences in shapes and ornamentation and can be categorized as specific to a certain region, like those in Bosnia and Herzegovina For instance, the stones found in the Ra5ka State (mediaeval Serbia) bear a special artistic expressions built according to the church art and architecture models found in Serbia at the time. With regard to the total number of the mediaeval tombstones, the number of the decorated ones in Serbia is proportionally greater than in the whole area where they have been found, but the varieties and their relief motifs are fewer than in other regions. Astral and floral motifs often occur not only on the stones of Serbia but also along the lower course of the Drina river, in the contemporary or the latter monuments in the shape of a slab and of those put in the ground in an upright position, which have not been classified as the mediaeval tombstones. According to the inscriptions and ornamentation, burials under these stones were practiced in the 14th and 15th century. Also, certain shapes were used before and after the said period. In the same period there were cemeteries with stone slabs as the only one shape used as a grave mark, out of which many bear the same ornamentation as found on the mediaeval tombstones. These sites have not been recorded as the mediaeval tombstone sites, but have been found in great numbers all over Serbia
The mediaeval tombstone monuments have been recorded in all the regions of today border settlements between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, as well as in neighboring areas to western and south-western Serbia. The distribution of the cemeteries with these tombstones is not an even one. In the area of the lower Drina course and Krupanj as its center and in the mid Lim course (Prijepolje and the surroundings) a greater numbers of such cemeteries have been recorded. There is a cemetery with the mediaeval tombstones on the Mramorje (or Bagrusa) archaeological site, at the entrance to Perucac, 1 Okrn to the south-west of Bajina Basta, on the right bank of the Drina. At the cemetery 85 tombstones have been recorded (slabs, gabled stones with and without pedestals, chests with and without pedestals and two amorphous ones). The monuments are placed in rows. The same cemetery contains a great number of varied basic forms. According to some earlier sources, there were 112 tombstones. The grave mark stones orientation is west-east with some minor exceptions. The tombstones were made of limestone with well-dressed and polished surface by the use of a large grain hammer. There is only one chest featuring a motif of a circle.
In the Tara National Park, some 23 krn southwest of Bajina Ba5ta, and about 7 km of Perucac, in Rastiste, there are two cemeteries with the grave marks of the mediaeval tombstones type. Both sites are recorded under the name Mramorje. The two mediaeval tombstone cemeteries are 500m apart from each other, or 300 and 700m, respectively, from the local church in the village center. In the Mramorje cemetery, in the Urosevina hamlet, 38 stones have been recorded, out of which 19 gabled ones, 1 a double-gable, l a double-gabled chest, 12 chests, 4 slabs and 1 fragmented monument. The monuments are placed in rows, with a west-east orientation, and north and south exceptions. On the surface of three gabled stones the motifs are a bow and arrow and a sword. In the Mramorje cemetery, in the Gajevi hamlet, there are 35 monuments (26 chests, 2 gabled ones and 7 slabs). They are west-east oriented, with some minor exceptions. The chests are mostly without pedestals, of finely dressed surfaces and sharp edged. Three monuments have ornamental reliefs featuring a crescent with a circle and a cross.
In the Hrta village, some 16krn southwest of Prijepolje, in a very mountainous region, on the Gubica direction, there are the remains of a cemetery called the Greek Cemetery (Grcko groblje). It is divided into the Lower and Upper cemetery, with the monuments distributed upon two mounds surrounded by a road and a creek. There are 33 monuments (18 chests, 12 slabs and 3 amorphous ones) in the Upper section and 21 slabs in the Lower. They are of east-west orientation. Eighteen ones are decorated, out of which only one slab and one chest feature concentrated circles and a cross within a circle and they belong to the Lower Cemetery. The Upper cemetery holds monuments of various motifs: a rope and wavy line border and circles, zig-zag ornaments, concentrated circles, circles with a cross inside, a sword and an anthropomorphic figures. Upon the sides of some larger chests there are arcades in reliefs, which link these stones to the decorated chests found in northern Montenegro and in Herzegovina.
Justification de la Valeur Universelle Exceptionelle
Made as a work of art, as a sculpture, intended to make the memory of the deceased immortal, as an organic part of the European sepulchral practice, these mediaeval tombstones are a specific phenomenon and a specific synthesis of language and alphabet, of faith and tradition, history and chronology, culture, art and aesthetics. Their primary interpretative context is the region of southeast Europe, as a transitional zone of European culture, marked by interlacing and mixing of both east and West Christian cultural influences, placed between the mediaeval European West and East.
An extraordinary value and a European dimension of the mediaeval tombstones as a specific expression of the mediaeval sepulchral art lie within a threefold historic context: the Western European, the Byzantine and the South Slavic one.
Bridging confessional, political, ethnic and geographical divisions within a broader South Slavic region, bringing together the two, otherwise distinctly separated, mediaeval cultural concepts - the aristocratic (the court or the cleric) and the one of the common people- making universal the concept of the end of human existence by combining the pagan and Christian motifs and expressions, the complex mediaeval tombstone art is an expression of the deepest truth about the world, and then made whole by their inscriptions- epitaphs.
Universality, general values and relevance of a complex phenomenon of the mediaeval tombstones are also reflected in the universality of the motif they featured in an artistic and visual manner- the motif of death.
ii The mediaeval tombstones are an original artistic expression manifested in specific circumstances when different cultural tendencies amalgamate.
iii The mediaeval tombstones are a unique phenomenon in the mediaeval European artistic and archaeological heritage due to their different types, their volume, lush decorative motifs, inscriptions of various contents and the historic context.
vi Since their first origin and up to the present day, the mediaeval tombstones have been incorporated in various customs and beliefs. Phenomena linked to the tombstones (superstition, folk tradition and tales) show several very similar patterns which we encounter in the whole region of their occurrence. Their epigraphy and symbolism have had a significant impact on modem literature and other forms of art.
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
The nominated cemeteries are an integral part of a cultural phenomenon and are representative examples of the mediaeval tombstones which together deserve an equal status.
Through systematic investigations of the cemeteries with the mediaeval tombstones, which have been going on for more than six decades, these cemeteries have been covered by various protection and presentation programs, bringing a high level of awareness of their significance and contributing to the preservation of their authenticity and integrity. An investigative work of Sefik Beslagic made a particular contribution in his book Stecci - kultura i umjetnost (Mediaeval Tombstones - Culture and Art), in 1982.
In addition, an inaccessible position of many of the cemeteries and their distance from the roads and settlements has been a key factor in preserving the authenticity of either the cemeteries and their natural surroundings, as well as in minimizing any human impact.
Notwithstanding, the cemeteries with the mediaeval tombstones have been occasionally exposed to some risks due to either public of private works conducted in the area, or the stones themselves have been inexcusably removed from the graves they marked, taken away or moved to some other locations, thus diminishing the authenticity and integrity of some of the sites.
The nominated cemeteries with the mediaeval tombstones, their archaeological context, the variety of the types and ornamentation and of the inscriptions make the unified body of a phenomenon to be investigated.
The cemeteries in the serial nomination have preserved the highest level of authenticity and integrity among all of the same class. The nominated cemeteries with their mediaeval tombstones constitute cultural monuments in all four states and are listed as legally protected.
Comparaison avec d'autres biens similaires
The mediaeval tombstones, in their decorative motifs in particular, can be compared with other mediaeval tombstones present all over Europe, as well as in the region concerned. Those are mostly grave marks, stone slabs in the mediaeval cemeteries or churches, which may be modestly decorated, but also with lushly ornamented images of the deceased (priests, noblemen or noblewomen or other relatively wealthy figures). Most often they could be compared in shapes (thicker or thinner slab) and in decoration motifs and inscriptions.
Certain motifs or scenes found on the mediaeval tombstones can also be found in works of art (pictures, reliefs) or on artefacts meant for trade (works by goldsmiths or on tapestry) of that period. By their number and monumental sizes, they could be compared to an extent with Irish or British high crosses, also various decorative motifs, but these occur mostly in the early Middle Ages and cannot be found after the 12th century. Furthermore, such monuments were not used solely as grave marks. Also similar are the Armenian khachkars, tomb and memorial stones, occurring from the 9th to the 17th century Armenia, particularly in the 14th century.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team will host the final game of a season-opening 13-game home stand on Wednesday evening, taking on future Southland Conference member Incarnate Word in a midweek contest. First pitch is schedule for 6:30 p.m. at Chapman Field.
All fans without a valid Texas A&M – Corpus Christi parking pass or a disabled parking tag are required to park in the Bayside Parking Garage located on campus.
The Islanders (7-5) will send Tim Keller (1-1, 5.40 ERA) to the mound for the start against the Cardinals. UIW (13-2) is currently ranked No. 14 in Division II, and have started the season off quickly, picking up series wins in all four weekends played so far this season.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi is coming off of four wins last week, taking a midweek contest against Texas State at Chapman Field, and then sweeping Dallas Baptist in dramatic fashion during the weekend, getting a walk-off home run by Kyle Danford to send the home team to an 11-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Danford has been on a tear lately, hitting .538 with six RBI last week, with the sophomore hitting .409 on the season. Zach Taylor (.355), Brad Porras (.348), Jordan Lee (.327) and Eric Weiss (.318) are all hitting above .300 as the Islanders have a .278 team batting average after 12 games. Cody Stephens leads the way on the base paths with six of the Islanders 17 steals this year, while Weiss is tops in RBI with nine.
For the Cardinals, John Zule is leading the way with a .462 batting average, with Zule coming off of a week in which he was named the Lone Star Conference Hitter of the Week. UIW has 10 players hitting above .300 on the year, and have posted a .338 team batting average through 15 games.
The game against Incarnate Word will end the 13-game home stand for the Islanders, with a three-game set against Houston schedule for this weekend at Cougar Field.

Brazil's President Makes Changes to Oil Royalties Bill
From Fox Business
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Friday modified a bill that would redistribute proceeds from the country's oil wealth, and moved to restore her administration's priorities by channeling a large part of future revenues to an education fund.
The president avoided a showdown with two of Brazil's most powerful states, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, by restoring their rights to revenues from oil wells that are already in production. The administration, however, will have to work hard to persuade lawmakers from the nonproducing states–which have an overwhelming majority in Congress–to avoid having the president's changes overturned.
Brazil produces around 1.9 million barrels of crude oil a day. The figure is expected to rise significantly in the coming years as a result of enormous oil reservoirs that have been discovered in the so-called subsalt region, which lie beneath deep Atlantic waters, kilometers of rock and a thick layer of salt.

Lincolnton, Ga--The gold standard for high school in the area is in Lincolnton with Larry Campbell's Red Devils. 40 years and 459 wins are all the proof you need. This year, why expect anything different??
Doesn't matter if they are in the gym getting lose or where they are, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to out work Lincoln County. While they'll have an underclassman at quarterback they have a trio of running backs that'll make opponets have to be on their toes. With a new O-line and with a new QB in Ben Turner, there's some concern about turnovers early on.
"Our offense is a little tough on a quarterback" said coach Larry Campbell "You're taking a shotgun snap every play. Probably 50% of them you are reading somebody and early in the season we're going to prbably, hopefully not, put it down on the ground a few times."
"I think he can get it at first" said Dayshawn Taylor "He's doing pretty good in practice and he's just keep working with it so I think everything will be alright."
Lincoln County will also have a new defensive line but some key place behind them to help stymie their opponent. This year is also different in the split in class a between public and private schools. Only 16 teams voted in via a power poll will make the playoffs. Its a concern seeing nothing is guaranteed.
"Only one team is assured of going to the playoffs and that team is who is number one in the region" said Larry Campbell "So it puts a lot of pressure on you to win just about every footballgame if you are going to assure yourself of going to the playoffs"
But if history repeats itself, lincoln county should be right there at the end. Campbell did say had they known before the scheduling was done, how the playoffs would go, he would have scheduled bigger schools to help increase their chances. No matter, expect to see Lincoln County still playing late November, early December.

DOTSERO - The John Wayne Cancer Foundation likes the way Roundup River Ranch saddles up for kids.
The foundation gave Roundup River Ranch a $125,000 grant, enough to send 50 kids with cancer and sickle cell disease to camp this week.
It's the second year the foundation has sponsored a session at Roundup River Ranch.
Ethan Wayne, John Wayne's son and director of John Wayne Cancer Foundation, volunteered last summer at Roundup River Ranch with other members of his staff. He was a cabin counselor and saw what the camp does for children.
He liked it so much, he sent them another check this year.
"The power of camp in the lives of the children with cancer and other serious illnesses is transformative, and the impact of this grant becomes fully evident when you see the campers at Roundup River Ranch, they get to just be kids again," he said.
Cancer killed his father, American legend John Wayne, on June 11, 1979. The John Wayne Cancer Foundation was founded in 1985, after his family promised to use his name to continue his fight against cancer.
Kids with specific diseases tend to come during the same one-week session. It's important in helping the camp staff put together volunteer medical professionals, said Ruth B. Johnson, president and CEO of Roundup River Ranch.
This week it's kids with cancer.
"At camp, as children enjoy our fun, safe, and empowering camp programs, they will also embody the cornerstones of John Wayne Cancer Foundation's mission - bringing courage, strength, and grit to the fight against cancer," Johnson said.
At Roundup River Ranch, campers do all the regular summer camp stuff: archery, arts and crafts, boating and fishing, a challenge course, horseback riding. The goal is to let the kids be kids, even with what they're going through.
During this year's season, Roundup River Ranch will serve approximately 425 children in the Rocky Mountain region, all suffering from various chronic and life-threatening illnesses, including congenital heart disease, severe asthma, immunodeficiency, Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis, cancer, sickle cell disease, and recipients of organ transplants.
Grateful Harvest
It doesn't cost the kids or their families anything, but it's not free.
Later this month, Roundup River Ranch will host A Grateful Harvest, a benefit Trent's Cookhouse, the camp's dining hall.
You'll get a multi-course dinner prepared by some of the region's top food and beverage professionals.
The lineup includes Kelly Liken, of Restaurant Kelly Liken; Paul Ferzacca, chef/owner at La Tour; Jason Harrison of Flame at The Four Seasons; and Tyler Wiard of Elway's. Master Mixologist Brian Harker of Matsuhisa Restaurant Vail will prepare the event's signature cocktails, while wine pairings will be offered by Master Sommelier Richard Betts of Betts and Scholl. Beer selections will be provided by Crazy Mountain Brewery.
The event is designed to community's commitment to the organization, said event Co-Chair Carole Watters
Serious Fun
Roundup River Ranch is a member of SeriousFun Children's Network, a community of camps and programs that provide life-changing support to children with serious illnesses and their families. Paul Newman founded the network with his Hole in the Wall camps.
The camp's six cabins each house a dozen campers and six adults. Stroll into a cabin and the beds are made, everything is neatly put away and arranged including the oxygen machines beside several beds.
Defibrillators are everywhere. Doctors and nurses staff the camp. The medical center looks like a huge ranch house.
Volunteers have to be 19 years old and willing to learn.
Volunteers talk to other people they think would be good volunteers. And they talk to would-be campers, or foundations that could support the ranch. And the word spreads.
Dozens of local builders donated time, money, materials and expertise the camp.
Adrian Brink and A.J. Brink Outfitters provide the horses, tack and wranglers for most of the campers' first horseback rides.
The local Trout Unlimited chapter is out there every day, teaching kids to fish.
"The people of the Vail Valley came together to support us and make this possible," Johnson said. "We cannot thank them enough."

So you should, if or when Sony update the firmware, play files with .mkv extensions.
Or am I reading too much into this ?
Hmm. The way I read it, was that DivX Pro for Windows "can now take H.264 video content and compress it into more manageable sizes for playback on a PC or for transferring to a DVD for playback on a HDTV." In other words, DivX Pro for Windows will be able to read mkv files with H264 content, and be able to turn them into DivX.
Or am I reading too little into this?

Pour the mixture into the prebaked pie crust. Bake until center is just set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Refrigerate until pie is chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Toss the sliced strawberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar to coat. Arrange the strawberries on top of the chilled pie.

Scott Bakula, star of the upcoming spin-off, "NCIS: New Orleans," knows that he and his cast mates have been handed a wonderful opportunity. Now, they just can't screw it up.
"We have big shoes to follow -- big footprints in the sand," he said, referring to "NCIS," prime time's most popular drama, and the show that will lead into his on CBS. "... The hope is we can get an audience to invest with us ... The ball that's being handed off is a perfect spiral. But there's pressure that comes with that, no question about it. We have to earn our place. It's not a given."
"NCIS: New Orleans" begins production in the Big Easy next week and, according to executive producer Gary Glasberg, the show will do its best to "really get into the culture and the flavor" of its distinctive setting.
Glasberg also announced at the TV critics press tour that "NCIS: New Orleans" has added a new face to the roster. He's Rob Kerkovich ("Chasing Life"), who will be a series regular and play a morgue assistant. He joins a cast that also includes CCH Pounder, Lucas Black and Zoe McLellan.
Glasberg said there will be crossovers between the original show and "NCIS: New Orleans," but he offered no specifics.
"We're planning an episode where Gibbs (Mark Harmon) makes an appearance. Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and David McCallum will be involved," he said. "That's the fun we have here with the interaction. As for when and how often, there's a lot that goes into planning and schedules."
"NCIS: New Orleans" debuts at 9 p.m. Sept. 23 on CBS.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's another superhero TV series in the works! As if there weren't enough superpowered tights-clad hotties on television now,�Greg Berlanti�is developing a Supergirl television series,�Deadline�reports.
The untitled program will reexamine the Supergirl character and story, with�No Ordinary�Family's�Ali Adler�on board to write the script. The show is being set up at Warner Bros. TV, where all DC Comics television properties are produced. WBTV expects to take it out to major networks soon.
The Originals�premiere sneak peek
This is business as usual for the very busy Berlanti, who is also producing The CW's�Arrow�and�The Flash, also from the DC universe. Adding NBC's�Constantine�and Fox's�Gotham�(set in the Batman world), that makes four DC Comics properties that will be on the air this season. In addition to producing�Arrow�and�The Flash, Berlanti has�The Mysteries of Laura�debuting on NBC this fall.
Are you excited for a Supergirl series, or do you have superhero fatigue? Who would you cast to play the Kryptonian?

Raising the bar by lowering the weight.
SRAM has a chain for every budget and every purpose. The PC-1091 Chain is built for high performance -- it's super strong, quiet, and light weight. In comparison to its less expensive cousins, the PC-1091 is more corrosion resistant thanks to a nickel plated finish on both the inner and outer links.
The link pins are hollow -- these hollow, chrome hardened pins save 20 grams or so over a chain with solid pins. In addition to being lighter, they're plenty strong so you can expect the PC-1091 to have equal durability. It's quite similar to the PC-1090, though SRAM reworked it to have more chamfer on the inside of the outer plates. This makes it run quieter than the older chains. It's made specifically for 10-speed drivetrains, and it mates perfectly with the tooth shaping and pickup/release points on SRAM's cassettes and chainrings for flawless shifting performance.
You can install a PC-1091 chain without special tools thanks to SRAM's PowerLock connecting link. No other sub-6mm chain in the marketplace shares this feature. And unlike the occasional headaches we're all familiar with when it comes to Shimano HG pins and Wippermann connecting links, the PowerLock link is as strong or stronger than any other link on the chain, and it won't hinder shift quality in the least.
The SRAM PC-1091 Chain is compatible with both SRAM and Shimano 10-speed drivetrains. Please note that while the PowerLock installation can be done tool-free, it's recommended to be used only once due to the extremely close tolerances required by the narrow 10-speed design. So if you must break your chain for maintenance reasons, a new 10-speed PowerLock link will be required to reassemble it.
- Hollow Pin technology reduces weight without compromising chain strength
- PowerLock allows for tool-free chain connections without having to worry about pin depth (one-time-use only)
- Compatible with all 10-speed drivetrains
- Nickel plating for longer chain life
- Lightweight HollowPin technology
- PowerLock for tool-free chain connections
- Nickel-plated finish
- Compatible with all 10-speed drivetrains

love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
weighs in less than my expensive KMC race chain, great smooth riding chain.

If you can get past the price, then you'll love this chain. A get what you pay for product. Smooth shifting, light and strong. The wax on the fresh chain lasts for a while which is nice. I'd rather have that than lube.
Great chain
I have a full Shimano drive train, but I don't want to mess with the connecting pins of the Shimano chains. I have not noticed the the Sram chain works any differently on the Shimano group. The Powerlock is different than the Powerlink. Rather than pull opposite directions on the chain with your hands to snap the link together, you push a pedal down and use the force of the crank to snap it in. Once its locked, its locked for good. I carry extra Powerlock links for emergency repairs. The weight savings of the hollow pins is minimal, but it does look pretty cool.

Virtually all agricultural areas have received above-average winter snowfall — over 200 per cent of normal in some places. Most areas are reporting 1.5-2 ft of snow in stubble fields, as well as sizable snow drifts in fence lines, shelterbelts and wetlands due to windy conditions.
Southwestern areas received above-average temperatures, and much of the snow had melted until a recent storm dropped 10-20 cm across the region. Central and northern areas of the province are still very muchlocked in the grip of winter. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency is predicting above-normal to well-abovenormal spring runoff for nearly all of southern and central Saskatchewan.
Although wetland conditions had dried significantly in some areas last fall, the above-average snowfall should more than make up for it, providing very good to excellent pond numbers for returning breeding waterfowl.

Talk about starting at the top. The first time Greg Decent took a run - for himself, rather than a high school coach - it was in Leadville, elevation 10,152 feet, where he was attending college at Colorado Mountain College. Other students would run between their classes, and Decent decided to "see what all the fuss was about," he said.
"The thin Colorado air immediately took my breath away and left me feeling like I was moving at a snail's pace," he said. "Despite feeling physically awful, mentally, I felt amazing. The beautiful mountainous scenery and seemingly endless amount of trails left me feeling refreshed and yearning to go farther to see what was around the next turn or over the next hill."
For the first time in his life, running was transformed "from something a coach required me to do to pure enjoyment and something I desired," he said.
That was 15 years ago, and Decent has run nearly every day since. This month, the Eagle-Vail resident is featured in Runner's World Magazine in its "Body Issue." Decent, who works as a children's ski instructor during the winter, is the only Colorado resident included in the issue.
"My body has never felt younger, stronger or fitter, and I've been running for 15 years," Decent, age 33, is quoted as saying in the magazine.
We chatted with Decent about how his face ended up in a national magazine, why Eagle-Vail is a "runner's delight" and what he tells people who only run when chased.
Vail Daily: How did your inclusion in the Runner's World magazine come about?
Greg Decent: I was browsing the Runner's World website one night, and I noticed that the magazine was looking for normal/everyday runners to be featured in their December issue. Entrants simply had to be a runner and willing to be photographed for a "body issue." I submitted a photo of myself thinking that I would never be selected from the thousands of applicants, but how could I pass up an amazing opportunity to be featured in a magazine which promotes a sport that I love? A month went by without any news from the magazine. I received a call from Runner's World asking me if I could come to Los Angeles next week for a photo shoot for their magazine. Without any hesitation, I said "yes" and my wife and I jumped in the car a couple of days later and headed west to Los Angeles.
The photo shoot was in Pasadena, Calif. right outside of Los Angeles. The photo shoot and interview took place at a warehouse loft apartment that had been converted into a photography studio. Pasadena was beautiful.
VD: How many miles do you run a week? Where do you run?
GD: My training is very structured and goal-oriented. I typically plan out my races a year in advance to ensure that I can train properly and recover effectively between races. My mileage is determined by where I am at in my training cycle. If I am building up for a marathon, my volume of mileage will increase to prepare my body for the demands of running 26.2 miles at race pace. However, if I have just raced a marathon, then my mileage will be drastically cut back for at least a month to ensure that I properly recover mentally from the rigors of training and physically from my race. Most days, you can find me running around the neighborhood of Eagle-Vail where I live. The easy accessibility to Meadow Mountain for a trail run or the running track for speed workouts makes this neighborhood a runner's delight.
VD: Tell me what else you do, other than just running, to stay in shape.
GD: Running well requires much more than putting one foot in front of the other. Along with running, I also focus on core and strength exercises to enhance my on-road performance. This is not always the most enjoyable part of training, but it does compliment your running when you have a strong core. My exercises include sit-ups, pushups, lunges, burpees, squats, jumping rope and lifting weights. My coach, Rob Parish, has me do this body work three times a week. It's not all about working out, though. I have a very healthy and well-balanced diet. I love hummus, kale and avocados. I rarely, if ever, indulge in processed sugar products like cookies or candy.
VD: What does running do for you?
GD: Running gives me the opportunity to compete and test my level of training/fitness. Some athletes struggle with how to remain competitive after college, and running and racing still feeds my competitive spirit and makes me feel like an athlete. Everyone should try it.
VD: What do you say to people who tell you they hate to run?
GD: For everyone who says they hate to run, I invite them to give running a realistic chance by setting attainable goals and focusing on the benefits of running. I will admit that running is not always enjoyable, even for myself, but if you set yourself up for success with proper shoes and perhaps a running buddy, then maybe you will have a more enjoyable experience. You can always change up your workout routine with a quick, three-mile run that jolts your body back into calorie-burning mode.
VD: Do you run marathons or compete in other races? Do you run alone or with groups or both?
GD: I usually run two marathons a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. I also enjoy running the Vail Trail series and shorter races around Colorado as tune-ups for my marathons. Most of my training is done alone. However, I am the group leader for the Vail Strides Running Club! We meet Thursday nights during the summer and grab beers at the Chophouse afterwards. I usually invite friends to accompany me on my long runs or speed workouts.

Principal Matthews the face and heart of Imagine school
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
NORTH PORT - Justin Matthews is fair game as he stands in front of Imagine School at North Port.
October 2007 — Concerned about a local school affiliated with an out-of-state parent company and start-up debt, the Sarasota County School Board rejects the charter school application for Imagine School at North Port. Later, Imagine Schools wins an appeal granted by the state to open its doors.
Aug. 18, 2008 — The highly anticipated Imagine School at North Port opens with a waiting list. Justin Matthews, 32, is the principal.
Feb. 15, 2013 — When approving its annual budget, the charter school's local board votes to break apart from Imagine Schools. The board hires Matthews. Parents learn about the unexpected decision by email.
Feb. 19, 2013 — Imagine Schools sues Matthews and the local board on nine counts, including breach of contract and defamation.
Feb. 28, 2013 — Sarasota County Circuit Judge Charles Williams rules Matthews and the local board will remain until May 31 so school isn't disrupted. After that, the school's future is unclear.
March 5, 2013 —Sarasota County School Board attorney Art Hardy gets permission from the board to intervene on the district's behalf in the lawsuit. The district, which lacks oversight over charter schools, must make sure learning continues and the charter agreement isn't broken, he says
A dad calls Matthews over to his car to report a speeding bus driver. A chubby-cheeked boy cheerfully complaining he was bullied by a girl appears at Matthews' side.
"I solve more problems in my arrival and dismissal than my entire school day," says Matthews, the highly visible principal who has been a fixture outside the school twice a day for five years.
Now, as Matthews fights his former bosses for control of the charter school, his legion of loyal parents and teachers tout him as the face of Imagine.
He is the principal who plays a Taylor Swift song on his guitar in the talent show, coaches wrestling and knows the biographies on his 1,100 students — not just their names but who comes from a broken home, struggles in math or is or is not popular.
"Mr. Matthews is the heart and soul of this school," says Londa Wik, a North Port mother who rallied for the embattled leader at a recent School Board meeting.
His critics are much less charitable.
They accuse Matthews of stealing the school and creating a distracting controversy in the middle of the school year, just as students were taking their critical FCAT tests.
"The disregard for the parents, for the kids, for the teachers, it is crazy. I've never seen anything like it before," said Port Charlotte parent Kristina Stoltzfus. "I feel Mr. Matthews has made this all about Mr. Matthews."
On Feb. 15, the charter school's local governing board unexpectedly fired its Virginia parent company, setting off a chain of court hearings and media coverage. Imagine Schools, which operates about 70 charter schools across the country, sued Matthews and the local board in Sarasota County Circuit Court.
Judge Charles Williams ordered the two sides to mediation and ruled Matthews and his local board can stay until May 31, the end of the school year.
What happens after that is unknown.
On a school day last week, a bundled stack of newspapers carry a bold Imagine headline above the fold in the school's lobby, down the hallway from Matthews' office.
Matthews, 37, cannot seem to escape the courtroom fight.
"Imagine has made this a referendum on me," he says. "I've been painted as a leader of a coup, which is ironic because I'm the founding principal."
A natural performer
As a child, Matthews did everything ahead of schedule.
Before the age of 2, he read road signs.
At 4, he started kindergarten and memorized the books his mother read to him.
"He was a lover of books before he was old enough to turn the page," said Karen Matthews, who enrolled Justin in advanced classes. "We knew right then he was gifted, but the thing is he was just a normal kid."
He played outside with his younger brother, Jeff, and liked sports.
When Justin was in kindergarten, the Matthews family relocated from Columbus, Ohio, to Knoxville, Tenn. His father, Leo, worked in the corporate offices for grocery distribution companies.
Growing up, Matthews said he struggled to fit in, especially during his middle school years. He went to a school where good grades and behaving did not win popularity contests.
"I stood out in the wrong ways," Matthews said.
But it would later shape him into a principal who notices children looking in from the outside, Matthews said.
In 1990, his family moved to Florida. Matthews began his freshman year at Bloomingdale High School in the south Tampa suburbs.
He was happier than he had been in Knoxville. In fact, he thrived. He was on the honor roll, even when he was sick with mononucleosis for six weeks as a 10th-grader.
His senior year, he wrestled on the varsity team and was the tenor soloist in the choir.
He could not read music but loved performing, playing Pontius Pilate in "Jesus Christ Superstar," Tony in "West Side Story" and the lead in "Phantom of the Opera" in local productions.
After graduating high school in 1993, Matthews headed to the University of South Florida uncertain of a career path. He was 17.
Two years later, on a whim, he auditioned for a full-ride music scholarship at the University of Florida.
He won it, transferred and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's in music education.
In 2000, he got his first teaching gig at Lawton Chiles Elementary, a public school in Gainesville. He taught music there for six years, but his ambitions were higher.
"I knew I wanted to be more than just a music teacher," he said.
In June 2005, he was promoted to assistant principal at Imagine School at Weston, an elementary with more than 900 students.
Over the years, he also returned to get his master's degree at UF, where he would meet his future wife, Ann, in class.
Matthews proposed on the top of a mountain in Colorado even though he had been afraid of heights as a youngster.
The couple, now married 10 years, recently had their first child, Clara. Ann works as a guidance counselor at Port Charlotte High School.
Even as he rose through the ranks in the corporate charter chain, Matthews kept his love for music.
He plays guitar and sings in Sunday Punch — a classic rock cover band that includes a parent, a mailman and an Imagine computer teacher.
The band draws an Imagine teacher crowd when they play at restaurants and charity events.
Opinions mixed
The average age of a Sarasota County principal at a traditional high school is 51. Matthews was 32 when he became the head principal in North Port.
In 2012, his salary as principal was $97,850.
He brought almost immediate academic success.
Since 2008, Imagine School at North Port has become the largest charter school in the county and received an "A" rating three years in a row from the state.
This school year, the high school campus is expanding with a new gym and six classrooms, while the football team ended its inaugural season with a 7-4 record.
Much credit goes to Matthews for the school's success, several parents and teachers said.
"To keep continuing, we need Justin leading us," said Jada Campbell, an Imagine language arts teacher. "If anybody else came into the picture, we would lose what we have. It would never be the same."
Teachers describe Matthews as a devoted principal.
He steps in to teach a math lesson when a teacher has a family emergency or mentors rookie staffers. He gives his oversized sports coat to a skinny fourth-grade girl shivering outside on a cloudy Wednesday.
When a new teacher's twin daughters were born prematurely, Matthews let him take time off to be with his family.
But some perceive another side to the youthful administrator, describing Matthews as arrogant, especially after his profile rose during the dispute with the school's corporate parent. His directness tends to divide the school's camps.
"Arrogance and confidence are very closely related," said Park Carrier, an Imagine math teacher. "I think they mistake it for confidence, and knowing what he's doing is right."

(G)radiation Day!
I graduated! I can't go on enough regarding how professional and friendly the entire staff was during my therapy. Below are just two of the lovely ladies who helped me through this ordeal.
In return, I treated them to some Better-Than-Crack Brownies and amidst the hugs goodbye, I realized that I am doctor free for ONE WHOLE MONTH!
The light at the end of the tunnel is in full view, friends. I think I'm going to make it! And just as I was about to press the "publish this post" button, look at what hubby brought me when he came home for lunch. *swoon*

I'm back for another recipe & thought I would share my diet tip with you..
The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says "for extra volume and body".......... I'm going to start using dishwashing liquid. It says "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove"..... Hmm..
Thinking of you & sending good wishes your way.

I'm about 7 years (or maybe it's 8 by now)post rads, but I still remember my excitement at leaving the clinic that last time!!
I didn't get a certificate as you did. My nurses gave me a lovely little "gold" angel pin...which I still have pinned to the collar of my fluffy white bathrobe I wrap myself in when getting out of the shower.
I surely hope you framed and hung your certificate in an appropriate place, and also possibly dried those lovely flowers!
I just found your site (looking for a steelcut oatmeal muffin recipe) and it looks like I've got some delightful reading ahead of me.
But I did need to send the congratulatory hugs first. :)

8.2-7 Sale of a Facsimile Firearm -- § 53-206c (b)
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with the sale of a facsimile firearm. The statute that defines this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
no person shall give, offer for sale or sell any facsimile of a firearm.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Gave, sold or
offered for sale a facsimile firearm
The first element is that the defendant gave, sold, or offered for sale a facsimile of a firearm. The terms gave, sold and offered for sale have their ordinary meaning.
Element 2 - Facsimile that
could pass as a real firearm
The second element is that the facsimile was such that it could reasonably be perceived as a real firearm.1 "Firearm" is any sawed-off shotgun, machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other weapon, whether loaded or unloaded, from which a shot may be discharged.2
A "facsimile of a firearm" is (A) any nonfunctional imitation of an original firearm which was manufactured, designed and produced since 1898, or (B) any nonfunctional representation of a firearm other than an imitation of an original firearm, provided such representation could reasonably be perceived to be a real firearm. Such term does not include any look-a-like, nonfiring, collector replica of an antique firearm developed prior to 1898, or traditional BB or pellet -firing air gun that expels a metallic or paint-contained projectile through the force of air pressure.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant gave, sold, or offered for sale a facsimile of a firearm, and 2) it could reasonably be perceived as a real firearm.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of the
sale of a facsimile firearm, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the
other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not
1 The statute provides that "[t]he provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any facsimile of a firearm, which, because of it distinct color, exaggerated size or other design features, cannot reasonably be perceived to be a real firearm."
Although § 53-206c specifically references the definition of "firearm" in §
53a-3 (19), which requires that the firearm be operable, operability is not an
issue with this offense, because the object is not a real firearm.
