The 1850 Federal Census Mortality Schedule for Morgan County lists those who died in the twelve month period prior to the enumeration of the census: 01 Jun 1849 - 31 May 1850. This was the first attempt by the U.S. Government to collect vital statistics on its citizens. Mortality schedules were taken in 1850 through 1900, but the 1890 and 1900 schedules were destroyed.
This list is a transcription of the "Index to the Indiana Mortality Schedules of Indiana 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880" compiled by the Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library. Microfilms of the Indiana mortality schedules are available in the Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis.

Maurice Senart
Founded in 1908 by Maurice Senart (1878-1962) in partnership with Benjamin Roudanez. The company name was changed to Société Anonyme des Editions Maurice Senart in 1920 with the association of Albert Neuburger. Early publishing activities concentrated on editions and new works produced by Vincent D'Indy and the Schola Cantorum group of organ composers. More emphasis was placed on contemporary music starting in the 1920s. The catalogue grew to more than 5000 titles by 1925. The firm was sold in 1941 to Salabert.
Plate Numbers
Until about 1915, the plate number prefix was "S. R. & Cie.", after which it was changed to "M. S. & Cie." The E.M.S. prefix dates from after 1920-1941. When Salabert took over the firm, it altered some plates by hammering out the E.M., leaving just the S.

Kenny Chesney is rather fond of his six-pack - and we don't mean beer. The taut and toned entertainer recently took off his shirt for a new book called "Precious," in which stars are asked to pick their favorite body part. Kenny chose his stomach, citing a parallel between the work necessary to make it in the music business and effort it takes to change your body. "You don't ever really think about what part of your body is worth the most to you," said Kenny. "I realized how important my inner core and the strength that comes from there is to me, to what I do, even to how I feel." Kenny added that doing the shoot made him look at himself in a whole new way. "I do look in the mirror in the mornings and I still see places on me that I can improve," he told X Radio Networks. "But I am very proud of what I've been able to accomplish. I mean, I've taken my percent body fat from 17 to almost 10, but I've just done it for me. You know, people are gonna say, well, he did it 'cause he wants to sell more records,' - I just did it for me because I've always wanted to have a six pack, I've always wanted to get my body percent fat under 10 - I mean, even in high school I didn't have that. So yeah, I mean when I look in the mirror I go, 'Yeah, all right.'" Proceeds from "Precious" will benefit the Starlight Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of seriously ill children and their families.

ASPEN - Michelle Obama and her daughters, Sasha and Malia, arrived Friday in Aspen to enjoy Presidents Day weekend.
Law-enforcement officials declined to discuss the first lady's plans for the short stay, but Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said that his agency will be providing assistance to the Secret Service during the visit. DiSalvo said his understanding is that Obama will leave town by Sunday.
Vice President Joe Biden also is visiting the area this week, with a short ski trip planned in Snowmass Village, according to published reports. Sgt. Brian Olson, of the Snowmass Village Police Department, declined to discuss the second-in-command's stay.
"We don't have information we're providing one way or another," he said.
DiSalvo said the Sheriff's Office will have seven to eight deputies helping the Secret Service during Obama's visit.
"As usual, we are there to support the Secret Service just like we support any other law enforcement in the state of Colorado," he said. "They have no power of arrest, so if they do need the power of arrest, we are there. And it's important that they have our local knowledge."
The Washington Post, in a report Friday, said "White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Friday to reporters aboard Air Force One that the first lady and her daughters will be on a 'ski trip out west with family and friends.'"
The first lady's most recent visit to Aspen came over Presidents Day weekend 2012. She also was here in July 2011, when she was here to raise campaign funds for President Obama's 2012 campaign. The fundraiser took place at the home of Jim and Paula Crown in the Maroon Creek Club near the Tiehack side of Buttermilk.
DiSalvo said the cost to county taxpayers to provide support for this weekend's visit, as well as the one in 2011, is worth it.
"I think that loaning our resources to the Secret Service is something I will continue to do," he said. "It's a privilege to have dignitaries here, no matter what party they represent. It's an important part of the community."
The sheriff said it is too early too tell how much his staff expenses will be in relation to Michelle Obama's stay.
Biden and the first lady's visits are unrelated, and neither has a public appearance slated for the weekend. President Obama reportedly is vacationing in Florida this weekend.

First thing's first, thanks for the great program. Following it since v0.98 and i can tell its way way better than what i had been using.
Now i got some problems with the new v1.03 PMS.
For starters i cant make it show up srt files. While i see the message "srt subtitles found" next to the filename, whatever i do wont make them show up on screen. (greek language, switched to codepage cp1253, it worked fine with this setting till now...)
Secondly, i'm having problems streaming mkv files. Not all my mkv files play on the PS3 via PMS. In PMS Status Tab, I see that the buffer starts to fill but never fills completely.
Oh and theres this avi video file that wont play ( its called Curious.avi EDIT: it doesnt show up in the .log ). Its weird cause its the only video i got that displays as "Unsupported Data" on the PS3
I'd appreciate some help cause im a bit confused
I think i'll revert to 1.02.1 for now:p
I have attached the debug.log file to the post.
Thank you in advance ,
PS. I'd like to help make a Greek Language localisation if its possible, and of course if you'd like to include it

Adoption of QbD tools and tactics by individual functional silos may result in isolated pockets of improved performance, and there is certainly an advantage to be gained by enhancing organizational competence in the fundamental tools of QbD. However, the full strategic potential of QbD may not be realized if there is an absence of coordinated leadership, and ironically, overall organizational performance may be degraded.
The broad cross-functional implications of effective integration of QbD into the overarching strategy of the enterprise and the downside potential of ineffective integration and functional coordination are the reasons leadership by executive management is essential.THE EMERGING SHIFT IN COMPLIANCE PARADIGM
For decades, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries have been mired in a flawed and costly regulatory and quality assurance paradigm. Raw-material specifications and process parameters were locked in at the clinical phase by a validation protocol, which documented that three batches of a product, produced under virtually identical conditions, had yielded in-specification results. As a result, quality assurance became almost exclusively dependent on ensuring a pedantic reproduction of validation conditions and on exhaustive raw material and final product release testing.
Ironically, this approach to quality has had collateral effects in other areas that have increased the risk of failure, inflated total lifecycle cost, and impeded improvement. For example, the R&D department has much more incentive to simply get past validation to produce product for the clinical phase than to optimize processes to minimize total life-cycle cost. Meanwhile, methodologies for designed experiments in product or process development that have been proven in other industries to significantly reduce total lifecycle cost and risk-of-failure have been viewed as incongruent with validation and, therefore, unnecessary.
Now, a new regulatory paradigm is emerging as FDA and international regulatory agencies are placing greater emphasis on fundamental understanding of manufacturing processes as the basis for a knowledge-driven, risk-management approach to quality. Increasingly, FDA's position is that pharmaceutical manufacturing should have reproducible manufacturing processes and, thereby, be able to mitigate the risk of an event that could threaten public safety. Instead of engaging in an adversarial relationship, the industry and FDA would share knowledge. Regulatory processes would be proportional to the level of risk and applied in a consistent and predictable manner. This collaboration represents a clear shift away from a long-standing position of rigid regulation and inspection to achieve quality standards.
These new approaches to regulation, compliance, and quality are embodied in the adopted quality guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization.
ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical Development addresses the key concepts of QbD and design space (DS), and establishes the principle of designing quality into products and processes rather than testing for quality after the fact. ICH Q8 defines design space as the "multidimensional combination and interaction of input variables (e.g., material attributes) and process parameters that have been demonstrated to provide assurance of quality." The guidance goes on to say, "working within the design space is not considered as a change." This statement means that pharmaceutical manufacturers can adjust the process within the design space to make continuous improvements without formal regulatory approval. Companies have the opportunity to continuously reduce the costs and consequences of poor quality without fear of having to refile each time they change a product or process parameter.
ICH Q9 Quality Risk Management describes a systematic process for the assessment, control, communication, and review of quality risks. The guideline provides examples of quality risk-management tools. These principles and tools can be applied to all aspects of pharmaceutical quality including development, manufacturing, distribution, and the inspection and submission or review processes throughout the life cycle of drug substances, drug products, and biological and biotechnological products. From a business and operational point of view, the focus is no longer on rushing past validation but on fully understanding and managing risks from the product's inception and throughout its life cycle.
ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System outlines the goals of a quality system that can be applied to all phases of a product's life cycle. Where a company chooses to apply QbD and quality risk management linked to an appropriate pharmaceutical quality system, opportunities arise to enhance science- and risk management-based regulatory approaches.
As the industry continues to globalize, the need for international harmonization embodied in these initiatives will only grow more urgent. In the same manner, as QbD increasingly becomes a prominent component of new drug applications (NDAs), companies that have failed to adopt QbD will be at a distinct disadvantage.

Although Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley of Boston is being mentioned among the 'papabili,' or frontrunner in the coming conclave, the Boston archbishop preferred to focus on his message of faith Sunday.
ROME — Applause is not what you commonly hear at a solemn Catholic Mass. And yet there it was, clear as the blue sky overhead.
The 100-odd parishioners packed inside Santa Maria della Vittoria, a gleaming jewel box of a Baroque edifice near this city's central train station, directed their clapping Sunday toward U.S. Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley, who had come to say Mass at his titular church. Every cardinal has a titular church in Rome designated to him where he preaches when he's in town.
The gesture was in response to an introduction by Father Rocco Visca, who in Italian had said, "May this be your last visit here as cardinal, and may we be the first church you visit as the next pope."
Seated nearby, O'Malley, 68, allowed himself the briefest of smiles.
STORY: New York's Cardinal Dolan gives Mass ahead of conclave
In the run-up to Tuesday's conclave, a tradition-steeped ritual that determines who leads the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, the conservative Ohioan's name is among the so-called "papabili," among the strong contenders of 115 voting cardinals for the throne of St. Peter.
The nearly 6,000 media members who have flocked to Rome staked out churches all over town, as some of the most talked-about cardinals took the opportunity to practice their vocation in anticipation of the coming vote.
Among O'Malley's compelling attributes are his deep multilingual baritone, scholarly beard and, most significantly, his reputation for tackling some of the church's most vexing issues. O'Malley took over as archbishop of Boston from Bernard Law, who resigned under a cloud of pedophilia charges against the diocese. He also has embraced modern technology as a longtime blogger and podcaster.
Moments after Visca's comment, it was O'Malley's turn to make a stir. To do so, he referenced the church's prized possession — a masterstroke of a statue by Bernini called The Ecstasy of St. Teresa, which has generated controversy for four centuries for its depiction of the saint in what seems like the throes of rapture.
"Shortly after I was given this church (in 2006 by Pope Benedict), I said I was going to take this famous statue back to Boston with me, and I was told 'Napoleon already tried that,' " O'Malley said in accented Italian.
"Well, clearly all is not forgiven here, because now you want me to leave as head of your church," he continued, to chuckles from the crowd. "But after the conclave, I'll be back here. And maybe I'll still try and take St. Teresa back to Boston."
The doors have locked at the Sistine Chapel and the conclave has begun to elect a new pope. VPC
The one-hour Mass then unfolded with scripted familiarity. There was a reading from Luke about the trials of the prodigal son, highlighting the need to celebrate those who are lost to faith but then return. And a homily from O'Malley, spoken first in Italian and then in English, that asked for "the Holy Spirit to illuminate the church so we can choose a new pope who will confirm us in our faith."
But this certainly wasn't Sunday business as usual at Santa Maria della Vittoria, a riot of marble, gold and frescoes that typically sees more tourists than worshipers. On Sunday, dozens of reporters and cameramen jammed the aisles, snapping and filming away as families took Communion.
As Mass concluded, Visca couldn't resist a crack. "I've been coming here a long time, and I've never seen this many people. So, I'd like to invite you all to come back. Not you," he said, smiling and pointing at reporters. "But you, the faithful."
He added that O'Malley would be leaving through a "secret exit, so please don't try and interview him." Visca then referenced Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, which ties Bernini's statue to the book and movie's gruesome scene of a priest being burned alive. "We know all about secrets," he said, smiling.
Outside the church, Deacon Tim MacDonald of Boston, who is studying in Rome and helped O'Malley say Mass, was excited about the archbishop's papal buzz. "The people of Boston have a great admiration for him, and just having any American (as pope) would be amazing," he said. "But the conclave is always a mystery."
Local parishioner Andrea Orsini said O'Malley, whom he has met many times over the years, would be a good choice because "he is open, honest and level-headed." He added that "as a member of the Capuchin order, which follows the teachings of St. Francis, he pays special attention to poverty, simplicity and a general love of the people, things which I think the church has strayed from a bit."
Getting jostled by tour groups rushing in to see the Bernini statue was Tony Tiefenthaler of Sioux Falls, S.D., in Rome with his family to visit a son who is studying here.
Tiefenthaler had mistaken Santa Maria della Vittoria for Santa Susanna, the American church in Rome that sits just across the street. Stumbling into a Mass with a man who some think has a shot at being the next pope was almost too much for him.
"This is the third, well, sort of religious experience we've had in Rome," he said, explaining that the first happened after the family had been shut out of a tour of the Vatican's necropolis, an ancient burial ground located under St. Peter's Basilica.
"My wife prayed on it, and a priest showed up out of nowhere, and let us in," he said, choking up. "And the other thing was a friend, whose father just died, knelt down in St. Peter's to pray, and when he looked up he was in front of St. Jerome's statue. His father's name was Jerry."
At this point, Tiefenthaler started to sob softly.
"And now this, mistakenly going into a church where Mass is being said by a cardinal," he said, wiping away a tear, then smiling. "I might as well just go home now, because it's not likely to get better than this."

STRATTON, Vt. - South Lake Tahoe's own Jamie Anderson won the Burton U.S. Open slopestyle, placing her at the top of the Ticket To Ride (TTR) and Burton Global Open Series standings.
"I can't believe I'm walking off the podium with three trophies," said Jamie Anderson. "It's enough to just win the US Open slopestyle title, which I haven't won since 2007. But to also go home with the BGOS and TTR Championship titles is a huge honor."
Anderson tore through the competition, topping Norway's Kjersti Ostgaard Buass and Finland's Enni Rukajarvi. Another South Lake Tahoe star, Joanna Dzierzawski, finished sixth.
No one could catch Jamie Anderson, who put together a super smooth second run that was packed with her signature, unbeatable style. Jamie's winning run included a frontside boardslide to fakie, Cab 720 nose grab, switch backside 540 mute grab, tailslide 270 out and ending things with a 50-50 backside 180 out.
Anderson will pocket $50,000 in the win.

Alabama faces General Fund budget woes even after $437M shift
Legislative leaders say 2013 outlook is troubling
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 10:34 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | State agencies that provide programs affecting every Alabama resident could end up with less money for operations in the coming fiscal year even though voters approved shifting $437 million from savings to shore up the beleaguered General Fund over three years.
The Alabama Legislature convenes Tuesday to begin writing a state operating budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Gov. Robert Bentley will send his proposed budget to legislators mid-week, and until then, he's not releasing any details.
But legislative leaders said the outlook is troubling despite the extra money provided by voters. State agencies have been asked to prepare operating plans based on budget cuts of 5 percent to 10 percent for the new fiscal year.
"It's going to be a tough year in the General Fund," said Republican Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur, chairman of the Senate Finance and Taxation-General Fund Committee.
He said tax revenue for the General Fund is flat, unlike the state education budget, where tax revenue is picking up after the recession.
General Fund spending peaked at nearly $1.9 billion in 2008, the last budget before the economic downturn cut state tax revenues.
This year's General Fund is $1.7 billion. In September, the governor and legislative leaders successfully pushed an amendment to approve transferring $437 million from the Alabama Trust Fund, a state savings account. Of that total, $145.7 million is being used in each of three years, beginning with the current year, to support the General Fund.
Bentley called it a "temporary funding bridge from the Alabama Trust Fund to maintain essential services as we continue to streamline and right-size government."
For legislators, maintaining essential services in the coming budget is a big challenge.
Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh said legislators may have to shave as much as $200 million off what state agencies say they need to maintain services in the new budget.
That's due, in part, to legislators looking at Medicaid needing extra money to maintain health care for the poor and elderly and to concerns about declining conditions in Alabama prisons, including complaints about sexual misconduct at Alabama's prison for women.
"We are dangerously close to the point with prisons where if we don't adequately fund prisons, the feds could come in and make us do things we can't afford," said Republican Rep. Jim Barton of Mobile, chairman of the House Ways and Means-General Fund Committee.
The House chairman said he hopes the Legislature can give most state agencies about the same amount of money they are getting this year, but that this depends on whether the governor and Legislature can get the rising cost of Medicaid under control.
"The cost-savings this time have to be focused on Medicaid, but we have to do that in a manner that doesn't hamper access to health care," Barton said.
Bentley has said Alabama will not expand Medicaid as allowed under President Barack Obama's health care law, even though the federal government would fully cover costs for the first three years, with its share ultimately dropping to 90 percent. The Republican governor has said the state cannot afford its share of such an expansion.
Orr, Barton's counterpart in the Senate, said even if the Legislature can give state agencies the same amount of money they are getting this year, they won't have the same amount to spend on services for Alabama citizens because the amounts they must pay toward health insurance and retirement benefits could go up by $97 million.
The impact will be uneven because some state agencies, such as prisons and state troopers, get most of their money from the General Fund. Others, such as the state Department of Transportation, get most of their money from the federal government and from state taxes set aside specifically for the agencies, such as the gas tax that goes to Transportation. Total spending by state agencies this year, including the General Fund, earmarked state taxes and federal funds, will total about $14 billion.
Orr and Marsh said the Legislature will work to maintain state employees' benefits, but that there won't be any money for state employees to get a cost-of-living raise. Their last raise of 3.5 percent came in October 2008.
Orr said legislators will be looking at a variety of cost-saving measures to ease the budget problems, including exploring whether it might be more efficient to lease Alabama's state parks to private companies to run or to close state liquor stores and let private businesses handle all retail liquor sales.
When Alabama voters approved the $437 million in borrowing in September, the governor and legislative leaders promised the money would be repaid to the Alabama Trust Fund. Barton and Marsh said the Legislature intends to pass a bill committing the lawmakers to a multi-year repayment schedule.
"The first thing we need to be proving to the citizens of Alabama is you can trust us when we say something," Barton said.

New biotech site
Brussels – UCB Group S.A. announced in late December of 2010 that it has initiated a project to build an in-house biotech microbial manufacturing capacity in Bulle (Switzerland) to secure demand for its core product Cimzia (certoluzimab pegol). Slated to go online in 2015, the new manufacturing unit requires an investment of EUR250m. "We want to be able to meet our projected future demand for 2015 and beyond for Cimzia – by adding internal capacity to our existing ones," says Michele Antonelli, UCB's Executive Vice President. "Together with a pilot-plant under construction in Braine l'Alleud (Belgium), UCB wants to strengthen its ability to deliver biological products."

Just wondering if the newest edition has the new imdb plugin as an option?
j2048b wrote:I am sure someone can answer this question?
if the plug in is seperate, where to download it?
At the moment only rev356 is available at latest beta downloads. This version has a bug regarding movie info. You can fix it by either compile current beta rev358 yourself or download fixed jar-file. That file has to be decompressed and content (pms.jar) copied into PMS install directory (C:\Programme\PS3 Media Server).
Download fixed jar-file for Windows http://members.chello.nl/j.kulikowski/index.html or MacOsX viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2126&start=150#p10265.
If revision 358 or later is available in latest beta download you don't need the fixed pms.jar anymore...

Place to start
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, well at least a general direction. i have been going to the gym 3-5 times a week splitting up all the days up with different body parts.
my lifting buddie is more into size and less into cutting than me so im not getting much help from him and he eats like crap. i like to think i eat pretty well but due to little time i dont eat as offten as i should. i have also been taking alot of protine shakes-only on workout days- befor and after and one before bed and somtimes in the morning. i would like to get bigger and gain some weight but i would like to flatten out my stomach first. there isnt much fat there but i would like a idea on how to get rid of it before i start bulking up. and by the way i have gone through about 4 tubs of protine shakes and havent gained a pound. so my questions are
-how can i get rid of this stomach fat and work on a six pack
-and why am i not gaining weight and still not flatining my stomach
and yes i know im sort of going in two different directions im mainly concerned about sheding a bit of stomach fat before i start packing on the muscle

You're talking about two totally different ideas here.
Losing fat generally requires a deficit of calories toget the body to start to consume itself and an excess of protein to get the body to hopefully consume the protein you ingest and not the protein found in your muscles.
Gaining muscle mass requires an excess of calories. If there is insufficient calories then the body will not be able to build muscle ... even if you are applying stimulus/stress (lifting weights). However, when gaining mass at any appreciable rate (at least naturally), it is very difficult to not gain at least *some* fat with the muscle mass.
So as you can see... you have two conflicting goals ...to have a 6 pack or to bulk up?
What I would do is bulk up until you're happy with your muscle size and then cut afterwards to trim off the fat.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A late fall cold snap that has created misery in much of the country is now heading toward the Mid-Atlantic states.
Icy conditions are expected to last through the weekend from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee. Virginia officials are warning residents that a major ice storm is likely to take shape Sunday, resulting in power outages and hazards on the roads.
About a-half-dozen traffic-related deaths in several states are being blamed on the weather.
(AP) -- A large swath of the U.S. is experiencing frigid temperatures, sleet, snow and ice. Several deaths have been reported, most a result of treacherous driving conditions. More than a thousand flights have been canceled, numerous football and basketball games postponed and holiday celebrations -- including tree lightings and parades -- curtailed.
A day after freezing rain, sleet and snow brought most of Arkansas to a near standstill Friday, the sun began to help melt ice on major roadways.
About 28,000 homes and businesses were without power on Saturday, the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management said, down from the peak of 60,000.
There is a chance of freezing rain across the state on Saturday, with temperatures staying below freezing. Authorities have said weather was a contributing factor in at least two deaths in the state.
Four homeless people have died of hypothermia in the San Francisco Bay Area since last week, authorities said.
One victim was found dead Nov. 28, and the other deaths were discovered in the last two days, Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Dave Lera said Friday. Lera said three of the victims died at homeless encampments in San Jose, while a fourth died in a garage "with the door opened."
Temperatures in San Jose fell to 30 degrees Friday morning, breaking the record low of 32 degrees for that date, which was set in 1904.
Colorado residents were bracing for another round of snow this weekend as blistering cold temperatures continue across the state.
The weather service issued a winter storm watch through Sunday for the Western Slope. Forecasters say up to a foot more of snow is expected in the mountains.
A storm that marched across Illinois on Friday dumped a foot of snow or more in some areas, and temperatures Saturday were expected to get no higher than the high teens or low 20s.
The weather led to the cancellation of the 23rd annual Fantastic Parade that was scheduled for Saturday night in Carbondale was canceled.
As much as 10 inches of snow fell in parts of Indiana during a two-day ice and snowstorm. Two people were killed on treacherous roads.
The roads proved even too hazardous for a Department of Transportation plow truck that flipped onto its side on Indiana 45.
Sleet and snow moved into Kentucky on Friday, along with plummeting temperatures.
The western and central parts of the state were under winter storm warnings, and a flood watch in eastern Kentucky was in effect into Saturday morning.
Some cities in Minnesota canceled weekend parades because of the bitter cold.
Highs Saturday were forecast to range from 5 to 10 below in northern Minnesota to around 5 above in the far southeast. St. Cloud's Winter Nights and Lights Parade and Santa Fun Run were canceled because of the dangerously cold temperatures in the forecast.
Parts of north Mississippi will come under a winter weather advisory Saturday night into Sunday as a second wave of freezing rain moves into the region.
The National Weather Service said ice accumulations are not expected to exceed one-tenth of inch -- enough for motorists to be cautious with overnight temperatures dropping in the upper 20s to near freezing.
A dangerous mix of snow, ice and sleet that hammered southern Missouri on Friday caused numerous accidents, including a wreck that killed a small-town mayor.
There were reports of sleet a quarter-inch thick in the Cape Girardeau area, with snow on top of it.
Making matters worse was the bitter cold, with wind chills dipping to near zero.
Northern Nevada had bone-chilling temperatures on Friday, and forecasters said colder weather was yet to come in the state, with tourists possibly seeing snow flurries over the weekend against the neon marquees of the Las Vegas Strip.
National Weather Service meteorologist Clay Morgan in Las Vegas said trace accumulations of snow were possible Saturday in hillside neighborhoods north and west of downtown Sin City, but measurable snow wasn't likely amid the casino resorts on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Forecasters warned that New Jersey drivers could face slippery conditions over the weekend as a wintry mix of snow and sleet moved into the state beginning Friday night into Saturday.
People in parts of southwestern and central Ohio expected a brief reprieve from the snowfall that created hazardous driving conditions Friday before another round of snow was expected to move into the state Sunday.
A storm dumped several inches of sleet, ice and snow on much of Oklahoma, and caused at least two deaths.
In the hard-hit town of Hugo, about 160 miles south of Tulsa, residents and business owners said tree limbs cracked and power lines snapped under the weight of a layer of ice.
Snow began to let up in Oregon, but forecasters said arctic air would intensify the cold snap through the weekend. The National Weather Service said conditions by the middle of next week could be milder and wetter.
Traffic was at a standstill for several hours at a time on ice-laden stretches of Interstate 35 in North Texas. Officials with the Texas Department of Transportation said "several miles" of the interstate had been backed up for 24 hours.
More than 117,000 electric customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were without power Saturday morning.
More than 350 departing flights from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport had been cancelled on Saturday morning. About 3,330 passengers stayed the night in airport terminals.
Temperatures were forecast to stay below freezing through the weekend, meaning residents may still have to contend with icy roads.
Weather officials said an ice storm is imminent throughout much of Virginia early Sunday through Monday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for at least 28 counties in southwestern and central Virginia. Accumulations of up to an inch of snow and sleet are likely through Sunday afternoon, followed by up to a half inch of ice through Monday morning.
The National Weather Service says the cold snap has brought the coldest temperatures in three years to western Washington. Meteorologist Josh Smith in Seattle says the forecast Saturday of 18 at Sea-Tac Airport would be the coldest since November 2010 and tie the record low set on Dec. 7 in 1972.
The temperature Thursday at Pullman's airport was a record-breaking minus-3.
Up to an inch and snow and sleet and a half-inch of ice is in the forecast for parts of West Virginia.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for six southern and southeastern counties from early Sunday through Monday morning.
Wind chills are dipping well below zero from central to northeast Wisconsin, prompting the National Weather Service to issue wind chill advisories. Meteorologists say wind chills will be between minus-20 and minus 30 degrees on Saturday.
Southwest and central Wisconsin could also see 4 to 5 inches of fluffy snow Sunday.

Early vote results in election scandal in 1904
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 8:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 8:41 p.m.
Absentee voting, lately known as "early voting," has long been a normal part of the Louisiana election process, but a little more than a century ago, a prominent Terrebonne resident and sugar planter found himself accused of improperly "early voting" in a special election to approve a drainage district tax.
A suit brought by the Lower Terrebonne Refining and Manufacturing Co. and other opponents of the Terrebonne police jury measure, questioned whether the election had been properly advertised, whether the poll commissioners had been chosen properly, who was authorized to open the polls and whether votes could be cast before the hour when the polls were set to open officially.
District Judge Louis P. Caillouet had ruled in favor of the police jury, to let the passage of the proposed drainage district tax stand.
Opponents appealed the ruling to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which quickly dispensed with all of the issues but one, the premature vote cast by Robert Ruffin Barrow Jr., who happened to be president of the drainage district.
"Barrow," justices explained, "was anxious to vote but was also anxious to catch an early train. When he reached the polling place, no one was there. Being pressed for time, he started out in search of the commissioners, instead of waiting for them to arrive.
"Commissioner Aycock, whom he met, could not come immediately, as he had to go to his house and change clothes. While he was with Aycock, Mr. Theriot came along, having the ballot boxes in charge.
"Barrow and Theriot drove back to the polling place, and found there Boudreaux and Duplantis. These two and Theriot at once opened the poll as commissioners, and Mr. Barrow voted before the hour fixed by law for the opening of the poll. The vote changed the result of the election.
"Barrow, as president of the drainage district, had appointed the commissioners ... the same list of commissioners" who would oversee the election for public officers to be held at the same time and place.
The court found no evil intent on Barrow's part, nor on the parts of the others involved. "The evidence leaves no doubt that the entire proceeding was in the best of good faith."
But considering the questionable "commissioners" and other good-faith irregularities, justices ruled that the result of the election be thrown out, invalidated.

SAN JOSE -- Lynn Dyche didn't spend 35 years refereeing youth wrestling matches for the money. As he told San Jose officials, he once spent 14 hours officiating a high school tournament for which he was paid $65.
So he and others involved in youth athletics were alarmed when San Jose began notifying high school sports umpires and referees to either pay the city business tax -- a minimum of $150 a year -- or pay $38 to process an exemption if their side job as sports officials made less than $22,000 a year.
"To charge them for this is just totally ridiculous," Dyche said. "We're helping kids, we're helping schools, we're helping families and parents by providing a service to officiate high school competitions. And if we start charging officials business taxes for that, you're going to run them right out of the city, because they're not making that kind of money. They're certainly not doing this to make a living."
The issue came up this year as the city sent notices to businesses and independent contractors -- a category that includes the youth sports officials -- that had filed state tax forms but had not paid the city business tax or exemption fee over the past four years. The notice advised them of an "amnesty" available through March 29 in which they can make delinquent payments without penalties.
But many were blindsided by the notices, saying they never thought they owed the city taxes or an exemption fee and that the cost would be too much of a burden for what they argue is effectively volunteer work. Lynn said an average sports official might make $500 a year, and a busy one perhaps $2,500. But school sports officials say it already is difficult to find willing participants.
"We're very concerned about this, because it does have an impact to our schools," said Duane Morgan, assistant commissioner for the California Interscholastic Federation's Central Coast Section, which governs high school athletics from San Francisco to King City.
"Somebody's going to have to pay for this," Morgan said. "The art of officiating is a labor of love. They're not making money here. To add another burden on them drives people away."
Elias Chamorro Jr., a former supervisor of East Side Union High School District athletics programs, agreed, arguing that with the cost of travel and training factored in, officiating youth sports is effectively volunteer work.
"It does not make any sense to require this fee when the referees are basically making no money," Chamorro said, adding that the tax burden would likely be borne by the schools. "Any additional cost to the officials will, without any doubt, increase the costs of officiating directly to the schools."
The tax and fee critics got a sympathetic hearing from city officials including Mayor Chuck Reed at the agenda-setting Rules and Open Government Committee Jan. 30, where Councilman Don Rocha raised concerns about it.
While it appeared doubtful any youth sports referees would earn enough to have to pay the city business tax, Finance Director Julia Cooper explained that the $38 fee for processing their exemption claim pays for staff time to verify that through income tax records they must submit.
Reed suggested city finance officials consider allowing sports officials to avoid both the tax and exemption processing fee by simply checking a box declaring that they didn't earn more than the exemption threshold -- the honor system.
The mayor urged finance officials to think over alternatives and return to the committee Feb. 13 but indicated there wasn't much interest among the city's elected leaders in dinging umpires and referees with a tax or fee.
"I get the sense that the committee really isn't interested in making our high school referees pay a tax," Reed said at the committee meeting. "We don't really think that's a business."
Even so, as committee member and Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio noted, there are other considerations. The 7,200 businesses and contractors qualifying for the business tax exemption pay the city $250,000 in processing fees, an amount Oliverio said is roughly equal to the annual cost of a police officer or a couple librarians.
He added that there's a slippery slope when it comes to justifiable exemptions that doesn't just stop with sports officials. Part-time music teachers and dance instructors, for example, also could argue for a similar break.
"Once you start on one, you expand it," Oliverio said. "Keep an open mind about other occupations that may be youth-oriented."

San Jose Business Tax
Many youth sports referees and umpires were surprised to learn that San Jose expects them to pay either a city business tax of at least $150 or a $38 fee to process an exemption claim.

SACRAMENTO -- The Bishop O'Dowd High girls will not be lacking in motivation Saturday at the state basketball championships.
In addition to playing in the inaugural Open Division girls championship at 6 p.m. at Sacramento's Sleep Train Arena, the Dragons (29-3) will be facing the only California team that has beaten them this season -- Windward-Los Angeles, which is 32-0 this season.
"My team has a little chip on their shoulder," O'Dowd's Oderah Chidom said.
That chip comes from the 58-43 loss to Windward at the Oaks Christian Tournament championship game on Dec. 29, a performance which Bishop O'Dowd coach Malik McCord talks about in no uncertain terms.
"It was an embarrassment what we looked like when we played the last time," he said. "I really felt like (the Dragons) got to the championship and they left their effort at the hotel. I did not recognize my team at all.
"They are really looking forward to playing their game and playing to the best of their abilities."
McCord also said that Windward "shot the lights out" and pointed out the awesome play of its point guard, Jordin Canada. Windward coach Vanessa Nygaard, a former Stanford star, remembered the conditions surrounding the game.
"It was the fourth game of a four-day tournament, a really tough tournament. I remember both of our teams being very fatigued," she said. "I was really surprised that we pulled out the win on them, they are such a great team and have such great senior leadership."
McCord also calls the loss a blessing.
"If we had won the game, things that needed to be addressed wouldn't have been addressed," he said.
One move he made was inserting 6-foot-4 Breanna Brown into the starting lineup, giving the Dragons a starting frontcourt of two 6-foot-4 players and one 6-foot-2 player.
Since that game, O'Dowd has a 23-0 record with 21 of those wins by double-digits, the closest margin was six.
There has been talk that Bishop O'Dowd is the best Bay Area high school girls basketball team ever.
Nygaard takes that one step further.
"I've heard some people say they are the best team ever from Northern California," she said. "They have the size of a college team, they have great guard play."
But McCord isn't paying attention to comparisons involving his team.
"I don't pay it any mind," he said. "It's a compliment to the squad, but there have been a lot of great teams."

About the Book
Candid and revealing, the final volume of Christopher Isherwood's diaries brings together his thoughts on life, love, and death. Beginning in the period of his life when he wrote Kathleen and Frank, his first intensely personal book, Liberation: Diaries 1970–1983 intimately and wittily records Isherwood's immersion in the 1970s art scene in Los Angeles, New York, and London—a world peopled by the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, and David Hockney, as well as his Broadway writing career, which brought him in touch with John Huston, Merchant and Ivory, John Travolta, John Voight, Elton John, David Bowie, Joan Didion, and Armistead Maupin. With a preface by Edmund White, Liberation is a rich and engaging final memoir by one of the most celebrated writers of his generation.
In this final volume of Christopher Isherwood's diaries, the celebrated writer greets advancing age with poignant humor and an unquenchable appetite for the new. Isherwood deepens his study of Hinduism, writes his final books, and immerses himself in the vibrant creative scenes of the 1970s. With his long-term companion, Don Bachardy, Isherwood delves into the art worlds of Los Angeles, New York, and London, where he meets Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Warhol, and Hockney. Collaborating with Bachardy on scripts for Broadway and Hollywood, he encounters John Huston, Merchant and Ivory, John Travolta, David Bowie, Jon Voight, Armistead Maupin, Elton John, and Joan Didion. This volume is a densely populated human comedy, sketched with both ruthlessness and benevolence against the background of the Vietnam War, the energy crisis, and the Nixon, Carter, and Reagan White Houses. The final installment of Isherwood's masterwork reveals a man candidly fearful of his approaching death, and yet engaged in the vitality and energy of daily life.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Compulsively readable…a testament to his connections to the literati and Hollywood glitterati…a fitting finale to a fascinating life" — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Alongside sharp and often very funny assessments of those Isherwood knew, the diaries also record a wealth of domestic detail…giving a richly textured sense of what it was like to live in California during this period of social change." — Jonathan Mirsky, The Spectator (A Book of the Year)
"Christopher Isherwood continues to perform open-heart surgery on himself, without anaesthestic, and with one beady eye on the audience...a rare treat." — The Guardian
"Isherwood proves a captivating, honest diarist, his entries rich with reflection and gossip." — Booklist
"Unique literary archives...Ultimately LIBERATION is a real-time gallery of men in love at a time when the world was nowhere near catching up with them." — Huffington Post
"But the gold mine of Isherwood work has been the posthumous publication of three huge diaries amounting to almost 3,000 pages. Comprehensively and lovingly edited and annotated by Katherine Bucknell, these volumes give us the most detailed portrait of the writer..." — San Francisco Chronicle

Nearly 100 people flocked to the Silverthorne Pavilion last month for the first in Mike "Tex" DeGarie's country dancing series, now in its second year at the location. The popular dance returns tonight, starting with an hour-long lesson at 7 p.m. sharp, followed by open dancing until 11.
For only $5, participants can learn a new dance - tonight it'll be West Coast swing - before dancing the night away. DeGarie doubles as a DJ and plays "music you can dance to" like cha-cha, waltz, triple step, triple two-step and a lot of swing, he said.
"When I play music, I play music where you can hear the beat. A lot of bands, when they play, they play music you can listen to - not dance to," he said. "Being a dance instructor, I play music you can dance to and listen to."
Of the various types of swing - including West Coast swing, East Coast swing and cowboy swing - he said cowboy swing is easiest.
The dance has "a four-count beat done at a fast tempo," he said, unlike the eight counts of West Coast swing or the six counts of East Coast swing. "It's the easiest one to pick up because it's four count," DeGarie said. "It's a partner dance. I teach them how to keep up with the beat, and I teach them some spins and twirls." The open dancing from 8-11 p.m. is generally partner dancing too, and he teaches a line dance - tonight it's El Rio - around 9 p.m.
DeGarie wasn't always a dance instructor. In fact, he and his wife first became interested in Country Western dancing 25 years ago after their two daughters became teenagers and "they did not want to hang out with us anymore," he said, chuckling. "Instead of staying home, eating popcorn and watching movies, we decided to find something to do."
They started as students, taking classes around Summit County, including lessons in the school gymnasium and upstairs at Salt Creek Saloon, plus a few classes in Denver.
"Once we started liking it, we took more classes and got better," he said. Before long, people began asking him to give classes. "We had a lot of fun, and we still do," he said, speaking of the current Country Western dance series at the pavilion, the summer series at Dillon Amphitheatre and prior dances through Summit County Dance Club, which has since disbanded.
Their daughters, now 32 and 33, have yet to take up the hobby. "But they think we're pretty cool, though," DeGarie said.
There's no dress code for tonight's dance, which is sponsored by the town of Silverthorne, though DeGarie will come clad in cowboy boots, cowboy hat, Western shirt and jeans. There's a cash bar, and participants are invited to bring their own snacks. The Country Western dances take place on the second Friday of each month through May. After tonight, the next dances are Nov. 9 and Dec. 14.

Dr. Jane Goodall on Star 'Bears' and the Mysticism of Trees (Video)
Dr. Jane Goodall is known for her pioneering research with chimpanzees, but in two of her latest projects, the primatologist also shows love for bears, wolves and trees.
While on the Alaskan set for the Disneynature film "Bears," which will be released Friday, Goodall (a Disneynature ambassador) said "getting to meet the star of the show, the bear mother Sky and her two little cubs, the best moment of all was when she just walked past very calmly, really, really close."
"I think bears and wolves both are symbols of North America," she said.
Goodall also spoke about her respect for plants and trees — the subject of her book "Seeds of Hope."
"I think being out in the forest as I was, alone for month after month after month, you get a very strong feeling for the interconnectedness of all life," she said. "You really feel at one with nature. The trees almost have a beingness, you know, there are individual trees."

Aunt Pat would have been 74 on Dec. 7.
Uncle Al, Pat's husband, died many, many years ago. They were only married 13 years and Pat had no children. My husband was her closest kin.
During the 17 years we've lived in Florida, 40 miles from Pat, my husband cared for Pat as if he were her son. She loved him and depended on him. He loved her, even if she did drive him nuts.

My soul was in anguish. I knew exactly how King David felt when he wrote his laments, wondering how long he had to wait for God to answer his prayers.
I was 11 years old and I had been waiting my entire life to shave my legs. However, my mom said I needed to wait, but what do moms know? I had a forest growing on my lower limbs that needed razing - right then.
The Taylor County Cattleman's Association and the Taylor County 4-H Council is starting a new livestock project for the youth of Taylor County. This livestock project is called a Heifer Chain for Beef and Dairy.

(Note: This is my annual Thanksgiving psalm.)
Holy God,
Where do I even begin to tell you how grateful I am that you, God of all creation, should stoop to bless my life?
I am deeply humbled, aware of my unworthiness and your great mercy. Thank you seems puny and insufficient, yet it's all I have to give you.
Thank you, Lord, for capri pants and Gerber daisies. For thick, warm towels fresh from the dryer, "two-point" tapioca pudding and pumpkin marmalade.
The Kentucky Baptist Convention's Committee on Nominations recently announced its nominations for members of the Kentucky Baptist Convention Mission Board and the boards of several affiliated institutions and agencies.
The nominations were approved by messengers of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, who convened their annual meeting Nov. 13-14 at Severns Valley Baptist Church.
Local Board appointments are as follows:

These chilly night I find myself looking for soup recipes. I try new ones every year, but more often than not, I go back to the same old favorites. Here are two of them.
The first one, Sausage-Bean Chowder, is a long-time favorite of my family. It smells absolutely wonderful when it's cooking and is really delicious. It tastes even better the second day. My dad used to like this soup so much he requested it for a Christmas present one year. I made and froze 4 quarts, and he carried it back to Illinois in a cooler, where he rationed it and made it last a long time.
Some say that the biggest shopping days of the year are the weekend after Thanksgiving. Here are some suggestions for less stressful times after this weekend.
During the holiday season, people often throw caution to the wind and become impulsive buyers. After all, there are parties that require decorations, favors and specials foods. The desire to give gifts often extends to a long list of co-workers, friends and family.
Last November someone wrote me a letter - no return address, no signature. I've been holding on to it all year, reading it every so often.
It's a heartbreaking letter and I hadn't known how to respond to it. I'm not sure I do now, but I feel compelled to tell this woman's story. Maybe by sharing it, the letter writer will find some peace or happiness or whatever it is that she needs most.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Campbellsville will have its annual Thanksgiving social on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the church hall.
When my youngest daughter was 15 she began an unrelenting campaign to pierce her eyebrow.
She once handed me seven pages of documented Internet research, complete with a list of "35 Reasons to Say Yes." ("It will not harm any living creature." "I won't wear the eyebrow ring to any formal occasion." "It is better than piercing my tongue.")
I found it amusing and I admired her persistence - until the Day of the Pringles.
We were at the market and as she followed me up and down the aisles, she jabbered non-stop about getting her eyebrow pierced.

NEWARK -- Superintendent Dave Marken rescinded his resignation Thursday, telling school board members in a letter that he will continue to lead Newark schools until his contract expires next June.
"My duty is to the students of Newark, and so I will no longer remain unresponsive to the overwhelming support of the community and leadership of the district," Marken said in the letter. "I am rescinding my resignation, effective immediately, and will fulfill the terms of my contract."
His letter was sent a day before the five-member school board planned to interview at least one candidate to replace him. The interview is scheduled for closed session at a special board meeting at 3 p.m. Friday, at the Silliman Center, 6800 Mowry Ave.
"It's a little late," trustee Gary Stadler said of Marken's decision to stay. "He waited until this process got all the way down ... to where we're ready for interviews, and then he wants to rescind?"
Since Marken's resignation in late May, board critics have crowded public meetings, saying trustees chased him away by micromanaging the superintendent and district employees.
Dozens of speakers have called on Marken to stay. Some have asked Stadler to resign and incumbent board candidates Nancy Thomas and Charlie Mensinger to not seek re-election. Instead, the five-member board last month accepted Marken's resignation, effective Sept. 30.
"I am disheartened that the Newark school board has not listened to the requests of the Newark Unified staff and parent community," Marken wrote, "And is actively taking steps in a direction contrary to their stated appeals."
Marken, who became Newark superintendent in April 2011, has been praised for revitalizing a struggling district.
Marken said in an interview Thursday that the school board "needs to be reconfigured" for Newark Unified to continue its success.
"All I heard when I resigned was that the board wanted me to rescind," Marken said. "If that offer still stands, then I still have time to bring about change in the board structure, and I can best help manage that if I stay in my seat."

"It's interesting how quickly the public conversation is about how this possibly wasn't really the threat that the FBI said it was. I think that's a sign that the FBI is losing public credibility, and that's not good for our counter-terrorism efforts. And that's certainly a bad thing for the average agent who is out there trying to build credible cases."
-- Mike German, senior policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union and a former FBI undercover agent
"As a general matter, undercover sting operations have been used, where appropriate, to thwart certain violent plots and protect the public. The public record of guilty pleas and convictions in such cases speaks for itself."
-- Dean Boyd, spokesman for Department of Justice's National Security Division
"This is low-hanging fruit. They're not dishonestly, but naively, saying they're fighting terrorism. There's a line to be drawn between watching these people and contriving arrests like this. The arrest is contrived, but nevertheless is legal. This isn't a close case."
-- Robert Weisberg, Stanford Law School criminal justice professor
"I would need to know more facts before agreeing that he was trying to connect with the Taliban or if they were taking advantage of someone who was acting out on fantasies and providing him the tools to do it. I just don't know."
-- Cameron Bowman, attorney for Matthew Aaron Llaneza in 2011 weapons case
"The whole thing is just so bizarre. . . . How do you come across someone who's a loner, mentally unstable, unless they're doing surveillance?"
-- Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"The part that is most disturbing is that they're targeting Muslim communities. Law enforcement could go into any community and do what they're doing in the Muslim community, and find all kinds of weak people."

PARKERSBURG Jeremy Cross became Wood County's first parks director a year ago and has accomplished much in that time.
New trails and more fundraising activities have been developed, maintenance plans were established and Mountwood Park is back on the positive side of the financial ledger.
Cross said it's been a busy year.

Jeremy Cross, Wood County's parks director, looks back
"The lake at Mountwood was dredged out. With the board's help, the lake is one of the main attractions with the trout fishing in the spring, so it was great to be able to open it back up, and allow boating access. We also just finished up the Pressley Ridge roof project," Cross said. Pressley Ridge, the former White Oak Village is park property leased to Pressley Ridge and that lease agreement is a major revenue source for the park." Cross noted the roof on the facility had not been replaced for more than 20 years. The project cost was about $189,000 and was paid for with funding from the governor's office, legislature and county commission.
Work on the All-Terrain Vehicle park continues.
"That will be one of our main projects for the upcoming year," Cross said. It's hoped the trails will open sometime this spring and will be another revenue source for the park. A new event this year at Mountwood was the military challenge mud run. Cross said it went well and he anticipates it becoming a regular annual event. Cross said he and the board continue addressing infrastructure issues at the park including electrical upgrades. The park also offers mountain biking and horseback riding trails as well as frisbee golf.
Veterans Park, a day-use park featuring picnic shelters and playground equipment, is near the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport.
"There was a veterans picnic out there this year and it was a great success. We are working on replacement of the water fountains out there and refurbished some metal benches for the park," Cross said.
Cross said design and construction of a new trail at Fort Boreman Hill Historic Park is expected soon, with completion by next year.
"A boardwalk will be constructed for the trail. Originally it was to be right along the cliff over Route 50 and DOT and the county did not think that was safe. I redesigned the entire trail, and moved it. The CCC will be doing the design and construction. They are professional trail builders, they did the wetlands boardwalk at Williamstown," Cross said. "By doing a boardwalk design, it will also be the least invasive on historical ground."
The new director said he also developed a maintenance plan for the newest park, this year waterproofing and staining the wood at Fort Boreman Park.
Cross said there is discussion underway about possibly charging a minimal fee for shelters. "All those funds would go back into the parks for maintenance. We already have a fee at Mountwood Park, and most parks charge a shelter fee," Cross noted.
"I've worked at parks all over the country. We have a lot of user group and board support here. It's tremendous. Everyone helps everyone else out to do what's best for all three parks and that cooperation is really nice to have. The groups have thousands of hours of volunteer time committed to the parks. The county has three unique parks that all offer different things," Cross said.
Cross has a degree in wildlife management and ranger services from Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, and a degree in resource management from the University of Idaho. His past park experience includes work at Burr Oak State Park; Lake Roosevelt National Recreation area where he was a law enforcement ranger; Put-In-Bay in Ohio at South Bass Island, Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial as a law enforcement ranger, and interpretative ranger; Greenbrier State Forest, and most recently at Hawks Nest State Park.
The new job was a chance for Cross, who is originally from this area, to bring his family home.
The director's position was created by the county commission to oversee and coordinate Veterans Memorial Park near the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport, Mountwood Park off U.S. 50, and Fort Boreman Hill Historical Park, off the U.S. 50 bypass. The new park director is paid through existing funds that had been used for a Mountwood Park director's position, which was eliminated, along with some funding from all three parks' budgets. At the time, the commissioners said by combining the parks they hoped to trim maintenance and other costs as well as better coordinate marketing and other fundraising activities. The three parks retain their own advisory boards. A marketing committee at Mountwood has representatives from the other parks to work on marketing strategies and coordinating efforts to raise awareness of the parks through social media.
"It's been a blessing having a director for all three parks. I think the county is much better for it. Jeremy inherited a lot of different issues that he's attacked head on, from the need for a new roof at Pressley Ridge (in Mountwood Park) to the waste treatment facility to inheriting an accounts payable of over $150,000, which is now zero; it's really turned the corner. The professional management he's provided has been great. He has a lot of great ideas and really has benefited from a very supportive board," said Wood County Commission President Blair Couch.
