The first component of Shenandoah River State Park was the 922-acre Jeni Tract, which was acquired in 1994 as part of a 1992 state bond referendum. In addition to the Jeni tract, other properties acquired for the park include the Maddox tract (171 acres), Hidalgo tract (7 acres), Parsall tract (22 acres), the Cullers tract (484 acres), and a tract from Norfolk and Southern of about 15 acres.
The park enjoys the support of a nonprofit citizen group, Friends of Shenandoah River State Park. Its mission is to help the park provide educational and recreational opportunities while fostering stewardship and community involvement. The group meets on the first Tuesday each month, and everyone is welcome to attend the meetings. To join or learn more about the group, click here.
Master plans must be written for parks before they're built. The plans are updated at least once every 10 years thereafter. The plans cover the size, types, infrastructure and locations of facilities as well as the site's special features and resources. Three public meetings are held during the initial development of each plan. Click here for this park's master plan.

"Am I in Love?" Maybe…
In one study, 77% of college women copped to being, or having been, in an abusive relationship. Experts don't have a single, set definition for emotional or psychological abuse, but it's generally described as any behavior—short of physical violence—used to manipulate, degrade, humiliate, or punish another person. This can be extreme Lifetime movie stuff: threats, stalking, vandalism, phone or email monitoring. But, just as often, it can be more subtle: overreactions that keep you walking on eggshells, underhanded compliments, barbed advice that's allegedly for your own good, even offers to "help" by managing your money, career, or relationships with others.
Most of these relationships won't escalate to physical violence. But some will and it's difficult to tell until it's too late. The best thing you can do for yourself—or for a friend you suspect might be in such a situation—is to know the warning signs. Here are four actions you might be tempted to write off as annoying or insensitive but experts say are serious red flags.
One reader told us that her boyfriend would always pressure her into having sex with him, even when she'd say she didn't want to. This comes in different forms: pressuring you to send naked pictures, have unprotected sex, or any other sexual behavior. It can also be a boyfriend who just happens to show up anytime you want to be alone or with friends, or the guy that won't stop calling your phone. He doesn't accept your personal boundaries which is dangerous because if you ever try to leave, the threat of losing control sends him over the edge.

Somewhere, out there, beneath the pale moon light.....
Someone's dough is perfect and there's a bra that won't fit tight.
Somewhere, out there, someone's saying a prayer,
That'll you'll find one another, perfect pizza and underwear.
And even though I know how very far apart they are
It helps to think they'd fit inside Victoria's Secret bra,
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we'll find that single perfect pizza pie!!!
(Had enough yet?) Me too.
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup semolina
2 tsp salt
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp instant yeast
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups ice water (40 degrees)
Whisk together the flours, salt, basil and yeast. Add the olive oil and ice water and stir vigorously to combine. Knead by hand for 8-10 minutes or by machine for 6-8 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Divide the dough into six equal portions. I used my scales to do this. Place each ball of dough on the baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and place baking sheet in the fridge overnight and for up to three days. If you're not planning on using the dough within that length of time, spray six baggies well with cooking spray and place each dough ball into baggie. Now place all of those baggies into a gallon freezer baggie and freeze until needed. When you're ready to make the pizza, place the dough in the fridge over night to thaw and then proceed to the directions below.
Remove dough ball from fridge two hours before you're planning to make the pizza. Spray a little cooking spray on the countertop and place dough ball on counter. Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and cover dough ball.
About a half hour before baking pizza, place baking stone in oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Spray some cooking spray on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Place the dough ball onto the prepared parchment paper, flatten it a bit, then using your fingers and starting from the middle of the dough ball, spread the dough into a 7-8 inch circle. If it fights you, just let it rest for a few minutes and then try again.
Place pizza crust, parchment and all, onto pizza stone and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings. Return to oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Fall & Winter Reading…sort of
During my four months of morning sickness, I also developed an aversion to reading. This was perhaps one of the saddest parts of those months for me. I was afraid I would never want to read again. Slowly and steadily over the last 17 weeks, I made my way through three books. I thought I'd share my most recent reads with you:
Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me (and Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling: If you enjoyed the humor of Bossypants, you should check out this memoir written by Kaling, a writer, producer and actor on The Office. (She plays the hysterically self centered and petty, Kelly, on the show.) Kaling makes clear from the beginning that she is not trying to be like Tina Fey nor will she ever be as funny as Tina Fey. I thought she came pretty darn close. Any woman in her 20s and 30s can identify with Kaling's thoughts, rambles, battles with weight, and other random concerns. My personal favorite story was when she auditioned for the musical Bombay Dreams without any dance background. While it took me a month to read this one, it should be a fast read for anyone who's a normally functioning human being.
Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman: Written about a fictional boy named Harrison Opoku, who emigrated from Ghana to the London projects, this story deals with a range of topics, from the simple to the complex. Opoku loves pigeons and spends much time trying to catch them, but a great deal of his life is spent trying to catch a murderer and avoiding run ins with a local gang. It took me awhile to get into this one, but I love the message I took away from it, that childhood can be so simple yet many children are forced to come face to face with harsh uncontrollable realities that are better suited for someone way beyond their years.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: Beautiful, poignant and moving, this book blew me away. I read the entire book in about a week and enjoyed every sentence. I've never seen words fit so beautifully on a page. While The Book Thief is classified as "young adult fiction," this should not deter you from reading. The story of a girl named Liesel, who moves in with a foster family outside of Munich during World War II, this is the story of her journey and life and the people around her. She is not Jewish and this is not The Diary of Anne Frank. In an interview, Zusak said he wanted his characters to be unforgettable and they truly are. I wept, smiled, and connected with these characters, both adults and children. I don't want to share too much of the story because The Book Thief is so complex and so special. One unique note that might intrigue you: death is the narrator.
So what did I do while I wasn't reading? Um, I became addicted to the Ellen Degeneres Show. I slept. I played lots of Settlers of Catan which is an awesome board game and iPad game if you have never heard of it.
PS: I promise this will not become a baby blog. I promise.

Ok, cool, but do we need yet another bike community and more fragmentation of an already niche audience? At Textura Design (the parent of Bike Hugger) we advise businesses to not start their own social networks or communities, but instead to join one and take part in the conversation about their brand and products. I talked about that with my fellow panelists during the Social Media session at Interbike.

Royal Albert Hall Chapeau
The wonderful archivists at award winning British Pathé present another delightful peek into another era with this hat-making clip. Bow tied milliner Monsieur Aage Thaarup made this delightful hat in 1957…and who wouldn't want to model a Royal Albert Hall shaped chapeau? Sigh! Do you think we could make one shaped like San Francisco's City Hall?

"The Voice" reduced its roster of finalists down to eight Tuesday night as it bid goodbye to Josiah Hawley of Team Usher and Kris Thomas of Team Shkira.
That leaves our rookie judges with just one contestant apiece in the competition. Meanwhile, veterans Blake Shelton and Adam Levine each continue on with three-person teams.
Sent to safety earlier in the results show were Danielle Bradbery, Judith Hill, Michelle Chamuel, Sasha Allen, Sarah Simmons, Holly Tucker, Amber Carrington and The Swon Brothers. Like "American Idol," this season of "The Voice" is being dominated by women.
Hawley, a 28-year-old raspy-voiced vocalist, performed a cover of Coldplay's "Clocks" on Monday that Adam called "a little inconsistent." Thomas, 28, lent his falsetto to Miguel's "Adorn" that had the judges wondering if he was overthinking things.
"The Voice" results show kicked off with Blake and his wife, Miranda Lambert, delivering a stripped-down rendition of "Over You" that paid homage to the victims of Monday's deadly tornadoes in his home state of Oklahoma.
Shakira also took the stage with her team to sing "I'll Stand By You," and Usher performed "The Look of Love" with his team.

Managing and improving complex processes with variability in the work that is executed by them is challenging. A typical first step when analyzing a complex process, is to develop a Gantt chart to identify the critical path. This helps identify steps that are the priorities from a scheduling and process improvement perspective. All the other shorter steps of the process that happen in parallel with these critical-path processes have more flexibility in their completion time, assuming they are completed before the end of the critical path items.
But what if the critical path shifts depending on product or other constraints? Now you have a situation where the participants in this complex process may not be aware that they are now on the critical path. The typical outcome of this situation is missed due dates and poor operational performance.An awareness of the critical path can sometimes be a risk. Human nature and large workloads result in individuals waiting until the last moment to complete their tasks within their lead-time targets. However, as we know, changes happen (rework, critical information is unavailable, etc.), and now this non-critical path item has delayed the entire process.
How can companies combat these situations? Two main approaches can help eliminate this problem: project management and using start dates instead of end dates.
Project management
In environments like the one described above, with variability in the products and standard times, someone needs to review the overall process and ensure that all contributors are aware of their due dates. Also, for longer processes, there should be intermediate milestones so the process owner can ensure that progress is being made. Organizations rarely put a project management structure into batch release. It isn't until the process is near completion that the delays are identified.
Start dates, not end dates
Another strategy is to focus on the start time of process steps, not end time. In order to prevent delays, goals should be set to start activities within X days of when the precedent activities are completed. A completion target time should also be measured. This way, simple or non-critical path processes are started as soon as is practical, with ample cushion to end without impacting schedule. A follow-on effect of completing activities early is to identify and address unforeseen issues that could contribute to delays in the future. All contributors to the process need to have a clear understanding of their capacity and see these work activities as a priority, regardless of where they are on the critical path.
In the challenges that biopharmaceutical companies regularly face in areas such as technology transfer, product release, change control, and validation, identifying the appropriate structure, management, and targets and prioritizing them well can make a big difference in ensuring critical lead-time goals are met.

Council agrees to fund tennis complex
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa City Council unanimously agreed to fund the operations of a proposed tennis complex in Alberta should a contractor fail to meet its obligations.
City Attorney Tim Nunnally said the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority intends to contract out the operations and maintenance of the $3 million complex.
However, the Tuscaloosa County Commission — which will contribute $1 million of the project cost with the city of Tuscaloosa funding the remaining $2 million — wanted assurances from the council that the operations would be still be funded should the contractor PARA chooses be unable to fulfill its obligations, the city attorney said.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the facility is set for 1 p.m. today.

SUNNYVALE -- The SaberCats seemed to be tettering on the brink at several points this season. They endured a rocky 2-3 start. They lost starting quarterback Russ Michna twice to injury, both times having to turn to a rookie quarterback.
Somehow they have come out of it all much stronger, landing the National Conference's No. 2 seed to the Arena Football League playoffs.
Thanks to the league's top-ranked defense and the emergence of rookie quarterback Nathan Stanley, San Jose (13-5) is in pursuit of its first ArenaBowl crown since 2007. The SaberCats begin that pursuit Saturday at 7 p.m. at SAP Center against the Spokane Shock (11-7).
"This has been the year of adversity," said coach/co-owner Darren Arbet, whose team has 11 players on injured reserve. "That's the thing I like about this team. There's been a lot of adversity this year and they've always looked at it straight in the eye and beat it."
Stanley's a big reason why. He saw action in the season opener and then started the next two games after Michna went down with a concussion.
Michna returned, but eight games later he broke his collarbone and Stanley has started every game since. Michna was activated from injured reserve on Thursday, but it's unclear which quarterback will start Saturday's game.
Stanley, who played at Southeastern Louisiana University, was a little surprised by the early playing time, but was able to settle in.
"I definitely didn't expect to get so much playing time my first year," Stanley said. "But it's a blessing. I'm just taking it one game at a time and trying to get better every week."
Stanley's had help from another rookie in wide receiver/defensive back Dominique Curry. After spending two seasons in the NFL as a special teams player, Curry was working programming computer-controlled door panels and security cameras when he got a call from the SaberCats.
He's quickly emerged as the team's deep threat -- 25 of his 50 receptions have gone for touchdowns -- and also contributed defensively as the team's sixth-leading tackler.
Curry said the team shifted gears after its May 31 loss to the Arizona Rattlers. That was the game Michna got hurt for the second time and it left the squad sitting at 7-4.
"We were trying to rely just on talent until we started working harder and coming together as a team, instead of being a bunch of individuals," Curry said.
The five-game winning streak with Stanley at the helm followed. That including delivering the first loss of the season to the defending ArenaBowl champion Rattlers, who have lost three of their last four heading into the playoffs.
The good vibes softened with a stinker two weeks ago at Philadelphia. Stanley struggled in the team's 42-20 loss to the Soul.
A week later, he and the SaberCats were back on track. Stanley threw for a season-high 314 yards and had six touchdown passes in a 72-43 win over the Iowa Barnstormers in the regular-season finale last Saturday.
"It was good for our confidence," Stanley said. "We took a tough one in Philly, had a rough game. But everybody came back to work the next week and we got it in and did what we needed to do against Iowa. That was good to have a big win going into the playoffs."
With a defense Arbet calls the best in his 14 seasons in San Jose, the SaberCats believe they are a title contender.
Cleven Thomas, an eight-year veteran from Florida State, agrees with Arbet's assertion while explaining the defense's simple approach.
"Our job is to get the ball back for our offense so our offense can score," Thomas said.
With the SaberCats allowing a league-low 40.2 points and 249.8 yards per game, Thomas and the defense is doing that as well as any team in the league.

If the weather on Wednesday and Thursday is any indication of what it is going to be like this summer -- get ready for a hot one!
We certainly have had some really nice days -- and that includes the warmer temperatures and no or very little wind. On Wednesday the temperature was up to 87 degrees by 3:30 p.m. Then on Thursday when I came to work at 9:00 a.m. it was already 71 degrees, it rose to 80 by 10:30 a.m., was 91 at 3:30 p.m., and by the time Deb and I left the office at 4:45 p.m. it was at 97 degrees. Those are definitely summer temperatures and not spring temperatures -- but they were nice to enjoy.
I took advantage of all those nice days and just shut my heater off at home and opened up the living room picture window before I went to work all those days, and I had it opened again on the weekend. Nice to let the fresh air in and get rid of that stale air that we keep bundled up in our houses during the winter.
Nice weather has even gotten the farmers out in the field. Let's hope they have a good year. Remember to stay safe.
Birthday greetings to my cousin, Asher Olson of SD on the 12th; to my cousin, Danielle Schiff of Sidney, MT on the 13th; to my cousin, Eric Cummins in Norfolk, VA and my brother-in-law, Alan Johnson of Antler, both on the 18th. Love and best wishes to all of you on your special day -- I love you!

MATHER -- Describing the drought as a "call to action," Gov. Jerry Brown joined Democratic legislative leaders Wednesday to unveil a $687.4 million package aimed at helping California get through its water crisis and better prepare for the next one.
The legislation calls for speeding up approval of water conservation and clean drinking-water projects and offers relief to out-of-work farmers struggling to pay mortgages and grocery bills. Towns and cities that are running out of water would get $15 million in emergency funds.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, stressed that no new taxes or fees for water use will be imposed to fund the plan. Instead, most of the money, about $550 million, will come from water and disaster-preparation bonds approved by voters in 2006.
"We must all do our part to conserve in this drought," Brown said at a news conference a state Office of Emergency Services building in Mather, near Sacramento. "The state is doing its part."
The legislation does not include funding to build new water storage facilities--a detail that drew the ire of some Republican legislative leaders, who criticized the plan for failing to address California's long-term water needs.
Residents in other parts of the country being pounded with snow and rain may be jealous of California's warm, sunny winter weather, but Steinberg said this time the envy goes both ways.
"The best way to make our communities more resilient to drought is to invest in projects that help us get the most out of every drop of water," said Steinberg, who will carry the legislation. "We're not waiving environmental laws. We're not hiking taxes or fees. We're using money we have available now to save time, save water and help Californians hardest hit by the drought."
Some interest groups in recent years had pressured the state to speed up its use of the bond funds. But Jay Lund, a civil and environmental engineering professor who directs the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis, said Californians should be thankful that the money is still around.
"A drought is a good time to have it," he said.
The proposal also calls for spending $46.3 million from the state's general fund on food and housing assistance for families affected by the drought and using $40 million in cap-and-trade fees collected from businesses that pollute the air to give grants to local agencies to increase the efficiency of their water use.
Assembly Speaker Perez said the size of the package matches the scale of crisis California faces as the unprecedented drought drags on. He added that Democratic leaders of the Legislature are continuing their efforts to craft a "fiscally responsible" water bond that he hopes will make it on the November ballot.
Environmental groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Planning and Conservation League praised the proposed legislation, calling it a "comprehensive" set of short- and long-term solutions that will help California get through the driest year on record.
"California's political leadership is recognizing that Mother Nature is an important determinant in how much water is available to cities, farms and businesses," said Jonas Minton, water policy adviser to the Planning and Conservation League. "More importantly, they are looking to next year and possibly after to prepare us for the possibility of a longer-term drought."
But the plan doesn't go nearly far enough, said Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, who bemoaned the proposal's lack of funding for construction of new reservoirs and other water storage facilities--the type of long-term solution he said will prevent the state from missing any more chances to collect water when the skies send it our way.
"We need a plan that increases storage for a growing state," Huff said.
Others criticized the drought relief package for failing to include a moratorium on oil and gas fracking or a forced halt to irrigation of otherwise unsustainable land on the San Joaquin Valley's west side. Last week, Brown joined President Barack Obama for a tour of scorched, dusty farmland in Firebaugh and Los Banos, two towns in that region of the valley.
It's a "double standard" for the governor to ask average citizens to conserve water while giving oil companies and farmers a break, said Adam Scow, campaign director for the nonprofit group Food & Water Watch.
Not only does fracking use a tremendous amount of water, he said, but the fossil fuels it frees will contribute to climate change that's likely to produce more frequent and severe droughts, he added.
"He offered common-sense, little measures," Scow said, "but he continues to ignore the big problems with wasteful use of California's water."

The Pottawatomie County Sheriff's warrant team and other authorities surrounded a rural residence Friday to arrest a man being sought on felony lewd acts charges from Pittsburg County.
Warrants Team Commander Chad Pope said authorities nabbed Franklin Dale Wyatt Jr., 34, of McAlester, on a $150,000 felony arrest warrant.
Information about the man's whereabouts developed Friday so a tactical operation was planned as crews prepared to serve the warrant.
Authorities converged on a home at 30770 Coker Road, Pope said, where an entry team arrested Wyatt without incident.
He was wanted on charges filed in Pittsburg County Aug. 20 for two counts of lewd or indecent proposals to a child under age 16, lewd molestation, along with domestic abuse assault and battery.
Pope said a tip, followed by investigative work, preceded the arrest.
"He was definitely on the run and hiding out," Pope said, adding Wyatt allegedly had family connections in this area.
"The sheriff is sending a message to those on the run from the law: "Don't come to Pottawatomie County,'" Pope said.
Members of the warrant team were assisted by David Spector of the Absentee Shawnee Tribal police, Pope said, along with Sheriff's Lt. Jimmy Brewer and Deputy Stephanie Brewer.
Wyatt was being held in the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Friday afternoon, but he is expected to be transferred back to Pittsburg County to face charges there.

Man arrested in string of Nokomis burglaries
Published: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - A man with a lengthy criminal history was arrested Tuesday in a string of Nokomis burglaries.
Deputies tracked down James Demaio, 30, after a victim reported a vehicle burglary on Shore T Road. The victim chased down the suspect until Demaio allegedly threatened him with a gun, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives then learned the gun had been stolen during another vehicle burglary on the same road, an arrest report states.
Deputies made contact with Demaio on Bayshore Road, where he said he broke into a home and took a cellphone, cash and jewelry while a female resident slept, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Demaio faces various burglary charges as well as two counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a felon and aggravated assault. Demaio has been arrested 19 times since 2006, according to the Sheriff's Office.
He is being held without bail.

A Sundance Star Needs A Drink. She May Have to Leave the Country
When the closing credits started rolling at the premiere of "Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes" at the Library Center Theatre at Sundance, the audience hooted when young star Kaya Scodelario's name came on the screen.
She's from London, and most well-known for playing Effy Stonem in the series, "Skins." But in her new film, directed by Francesca Gregorini, Scodelario takes on the role of Emanuel, an American teen who is troubled by the death of her mother during her own birth. Emanuel befriends a mysterious young mom who moves in next door, Linda, played by Jessica Biel, and their deepening relationship reveals connections to both their pasts.
"This was the first time I've seen the film," the 20-year-old Scodelario said during the post-premiere Q&A with the audience. "I'm shaking, I'm freaking out. I need a drink!"
Sorry–you can buy a drink at 18 in England, but you've got to be 21 in the states.
The actress hadn't worked on a film in the U.S. before, and she singled out Biel as being "the nicest female actress I've worked with, she made me feel safe in Hollywood." Scodelario said it could have been much worse with another type of female co-star, and she would have hated ever working in Hollywood again.
Biel, touched by Scodelario's comments, added that she was attracted to "Emanuel" because of the script, which she called "the best I had read in a really, really long time." She said there aren't enough interesting, complicated, haunting roles for women, especially written and directed by another woman, garnering audience applause for Gregorini. "This is the kind of work I've been craving," Biel added.
Actor Alfred Molina plays Emanuel's father, Dennis, who struggles to balance mourning his first wife, with trying to move forward with Janice, his second wife (whom Emanuel dislikes).
Molina said it was great working "with all that female energy," as well as a youthful cast and director, which he said is rare for actors his age. "I'd also like to thank Tom Wilkinson for turning the part down," he added, to laughter.

A program that's gained popularity with some private and charter schools aims to teach students leadership skills from the age of 10. Now St. Timothy's Lutheran School, 5100 Camden Ave., is taking that philosophy one step further with a pilot program that focuses on preschoolers through fifth-graders.
The pilot program is based on the KidLead program, leadership development designed for children age 10 to 13. The youngsters learn the 16 most desirable qualities of a leader, which include positive use of power, responsibility, teamwork, working strategically, communication, commitment, integrity and honor.
KidLead is part of the curriculum at various area schools including Harker, Valley Christian School, Stratford Middle School, the BASIC Home School network and Bullis Charter School in Los Altos.
St. Timothy's program is called KiddieLead. It is the brainchild of principal Gayle Renken and Alan Nelson, founder of KidLead. Nelson gave a speech during last fall's California Association of Private Schools conference, which Renken attended. The two began talking and came up with the pilot idea.
"He provided us with the leadership expertise, and we provided him with childhood expertise," Renken says. "Sometimes schools look at leadership programs too late and end up teaching kids what not to do. This is more positively focused to teach children how to help out and learn to lead."
In the youngest children, this means helping teachers clean up, pass out snacks or recognizing a need and helping. For all the elementary children, it's developing positive leadership attributes, Renken says.
Looking at a recent example, Renken relates a story about a school assembly with parents and children. At the end of her remarks, Renken asked everyone to help clean up. One mother was ready to leave, but her 9-year-old told her, "We can't go yet, Mom, Mrs. Renken asked us to stay and help clean up."
The leadership training dovetails well with academics, and Renken says it "permeates everything the children are doing, whether it's in their vocabulary or in opportunities to practice their leadership skills."
Some children don't want to be leaders, she says. These students are taught to determine which people to follow, what to look for and what qualities are apparent in a good leader.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It was an improvement, but it still wasn't a victory.
Twenty-four hours after an embarrassing loss that players said needed to be a wake-up call, the Sharks dropped their sixth consecutive game, a 1-0 overtime loss Tuesday night to the Nashville Predators in which San Jose tightened up its defense but still couldn't buy a goal.
"We've got to find a way to get over the hump and get one by some goaltenders and find some wins here," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said of his team that began 7-0-0 and now finds itself at 7-3-3.
For his second consecutive start, Sharks goalie Antti Niemi shut out an opponent for three periods and didn't get the win. This one was decided at 2:08 of the extra period when Predators forward Colin Wilson's redirection of a shot by defenseman Ryan Ellis squeezed between Niemi's blocker and his body.
That was Nashville's first shot in an overtime that saw Predators goalie Pekka Rinne make three saves and then manage to keep the puck out of the net with Joe Pavelski on his doorstep.
"It's laying there, it's so close," Pavelski said of the puck. "The way it was tonight, there were other chances."
What the Sharks were able to do was shake off any aftereffects of a 6-2 humiliation in Columbus the night before. McLellan held a 20-minute team meeting Tuesday morning, going over video of what went wrong and letting players know how unacceptable that performance was.
"A much better effort than last night," McLellan said, even though his team came up with one point instead of two. "Everybody who dressed contributed tonight. I thought we were much more competitive, played a much more detailed game but still had the same results."
One element of the Sharks' game that took a step backward was the power play, which did score a goal in Columbus but went 0 for 6 against Nashville, including 41 seconds of a two-man advantage.
There were lineup changes between the two games, and McLellan tinkered with his forward combinations because of them.
The Sharks called up their leading scorer from Worcester, Tim Kennedy, and immediately put him on the second line with Logan Couture and Ryane Clowe while reuniting Patrick Marleau with Joe Thornton and Pavelski on the top line.
McLellan kept his third line of James Sheppard, Michal Handzus and Tommy Wingels together but dropped Marty Havlat to the fourth line where he skated alongside TJ Galiardi and Adam Burish.
The Sharks did come out strong in the first period, outshooting Nashville 13-3, but were unable to get the puck past Rinne, whose biggest save might have come at 12:15 when Couture set up Kennedy in the slot. Nashville increased the pressure in the middle period, and this time it was Niemi making the tougher saves.
"I thought the game changed a little bit in the second when we failed to shoot," McLellan said. "We wanted to make plays into the middle, and they're such a strong backchecking team that they started to pick those off and go the other way. We'll have to look at that and fix it."
Nashville stayed in control during most of the third period as the Sharks got only three shots on net while Niemi had to make 10 saves. Two in the game's final 30 seconds -- including a quick glove on a shot by Predators forward Gabriel Bourque -- earned San Jose its one point.
"I saw the puck laying around and nobody had it, so I thought it might be a quick shot, and that's what it was," Niemi said of the save on Bourque.
Twice San Jose has been shut out and twice scored only one goal during this six-game streak without a victory. And that, Niemi almost reluctantly acknowledged, does put more pressure on the goalie.
"Either way you want to play well, even if your team is scoring a lot," Niemi said, "but maybe a little bit."
What Tuesday night's loss did is simply get the Sharks back to where they were before their game in Columbus. And that only puts the spotlight back on lack of scoring.
"Getting shut out two of three games isn't going to win in this league, so we need to get it done," Couture said. "It's frustrating."
"A smart player, skilled player, a slick kind of guy," Couture said of his new linemate, comparing Kennedy to former Shark Benn Ferriero. "He jumped right in and did a wonderful job tonight. He didn't look like he was out of the NHL for too long."
Kennedy had 13 goals and 24 assists in 37 games with Worcester this season.
In both cases, the coach said, it was a combination of both health and their recent play to one degree or another. For Burns, who was activated last week, it was a case of having to play three games in four nights, "but also his play wasn't very good in Columbus," McLellan said.
Gomez, he added, was more a reflection on the flu bug than his play.

NJASK or the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge is a standardized test given to all New Jersey public-schooled students in grades 3-8 during (usually) March, April, or May, and is administered by the New Jersey Department of Education.Together with the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) that is given to students in eleventh grade, the NJASK is part of a battery of tests used to assess student performance in New Jersey's public schools.The test was originally called the Elementary School Proficiency Assessment (ESPA), which was administered at grade 4 from 1997 through 2002 to provide an early indication of student progress toward achieving the knowledge and skills identified in the state's Core Curriculum Content Standards (CCCS).In spring 2003, the state education department replaced the ESPA with the NJASK, which is a comprehensive, multi-grade assessment program. It assesses student achievement in language arts, math, and science. Along with other indicators of student progress, the results of the elementary-level assessments are intended to be used to identify students who need additional instructional support in order to reach the CCCS.Source: Wikipedia

Amy Scholten, MPH
Binge drinking is one of the most serious problems on college campuses today. Parents should be talking to their teens about it long before they send them off to college.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, binge drinking, or heavy episodic drinking, is defined as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration to 0.08 grams percent or above. This equates to:
It should be noted, however, that the volumes above are general. The size of the drink and body weight of the drinker are not taken into consideration in this definition. The assumption here is that drinking occurs within a short period of time (a few hours or less) and leads to alcohol intoxication.
Alcohol poisoning—a severe and potentially fatal physical reaction to an alcohol overdose—is the most serious consequence of binge drinking. When a person drinks excessive amounts of alcohol within a short period of time, the brain is deprived of oxygen. In response to the overdose of alcohol and the lack of oxygen, the brain eventually shuts down the functions that regulate heart rate and breathing.
Symptoms of alcohol poisoning include:
If you suspect alcohol poisoning, don't worry that the person may be offended or embarrassed when they sober up. Your decision to help may save the person's life.
Binge drinking can not only lead to alcohol overdose (poisoning), but also to drunk driving, accidents, poor school performance, risky sexual activity, property damage, illicit drug use, and even death.
Furthermore, studies suggest that heavy drinking in adolescence is strongly associated with heavy drinking in young adult life as well. Rather than "growing out" of binge drinking behavior, many young persons "grow into" a pattern of alcohol dependence or abuse.
Binge drinking is influenced by a number of social factors and marketing forces in the college community. Parents should be aware of these factors, which include:
Ideally, you should begin talking to your children about the dangers of alcohol at a young age. Here are some tips that can help you establish more open communication:

True fans will track you down. That's what local piano man Micky Poage quickly learned after he starting tickling the keys at Vista at Arrowhead after a 36-year run in Vail.
Poage played at Mickey's, a room in The Lodge at Vail, up until August 2011. The space was remodeled to make way for Elway's steakhouse. When he left, there were tears all around, but Poage and his Yamaha grand piano landed 15 or so miles west, at Vista at Arrowhead. We caught up with Poage to find out what his life looks like now.
1. VD: Have your old fans followed you?
MP: Oh, yes - and the young ones too. I am quite grateful to have a diverse, loyal following who truly love watching me rip into huge arrangements. Most love the new location as they can have a great dinner at a nice, comfortable, roomy table while I'm playing. Getting the Vail crowd to Arrowhead in the winter has been a challenge as many do not have cars. However, locals and those who stay in Beaver Creek, like the location and ambience a lot better and I see them more frequently.
2. VD: For years and years you played at the Lodge at Vail and only last year began playing in Edwards, at Vista, instead. How was the transition for you? What's your favorite thing about playing at Vista?
MP: Smooth and quick. I really wasn't planning on being at Vista for more than the summer. I had a few other options I was working on that were in town and a couple out of state. Within a month or so I realized that aside from opening my own place, I had stumbled on to the nearly perfect venue. I could play music like I enjoy playing with no restrictions. Those that wanted the typical "Micky concert" could sit close and those that wanted a little less "concert" could sit in the next room and still hear me just fine. Just like at "Mickey's" tables near my piano were being requested by number at the time of reservation, and they were hard to get. Much to my amazement the new venue was an immediate hit, which General Manager Pentti Tofferi predicted.
No doubt (my favorite thing) is the sincere support from the members of CCR (Country Club of the Rockies) and Vista staff, which is key to me being successful. They all seem to love the new energy and are receptive to new ideas. I still have a lot of friends that come in and sing with me. We featured one in a cabaret setting a couple weeks ago - sound system, lighting and all. I told Janine and Michael (owners of Vista) to expect 50 or 60 people. We ended up having 130 or so. The staff just adjusted and made it happen, which took a lot of cooperation. That's what I like about playing at Vista.
3. VD: Learn any new songs lately?
MP Sure, but nothing I would want to mention. Mostly songs that are personal to friends that come and hear me a lot. I'm hoping to expand my version of "Stairway to Heaven" by listening to it on the chairlift today. Our bartenders Shawn and Kevin are always asking me to play it and I want to keep them happy. Oh, last week I learned "Just A Friend" by Biz Markey for our manager Daryl. I'll only play it if he sings it.
4. VD: What's your most requested song or two?
MP: Right now my signature composition "The Last Run Of The Day" and my arrangement of Les Miserable - the long, intense version. Beatle's and Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue and anything Lloyd Weber of course. Lately I've been getting a lot of requests for "The Notre Dame Victory March" just because people are impressed I can play the song and text my imaginary girlfriend at the same time.
5. VD: Tell me something we don't know about Micky Poage?
MP: I've been married for 27 years, nearing a world record for someone in my business. My wife (Karen) sells real estate for Slifer, Smith and Frampton. She takes good care of me, works a lot and enjoys painting as a hobby. She skied while we were dating, but quit around 17 seconds after I said "I do." Our son, Parker, a junior at Vail Christian High School, was born on our 10th wedding anniversary. He does not play the piano as many assume. We have a ping pong table in our living room near the piano. He only uses the piano for trick shots. We have a dog, Lily, who likes to hike with me near our home at The Summit in Cordillera. Last year we hiked for weeks looking for an open golf course. We were not successful in finding one but enjoyed our time together.
6. VD: What do you like to do when you're not entertaining people?
MP: Sit and stare at the sunset. Compose, practice and write arrangements that challenge my technique. Have a nice dinner with my wife. Ski with my son, friends or even by myself while cranking a great play list in my helmet. Golf, even though I'm not very good at it. Travel and spend time with friends. Many other things that don't involve shopping.
7. VD: Anything I'm not asking I should know about?
MP: Well, maybe a couple things. Vista has valet parking making it a cinch to dine at the facility. Arrowhead is really easy to find and the guys at the gate will direct you to the restaurant. They are quite helpful, especially if you bring them doughnuts. One last thing ... Thanks to all who were concerned for me and my family a couple summers ago. Please know that life is pretty sweet at Country Club of the Rockies.

The flyer at this link is corrected. Apologies for the typo.
Filed under: Notices
Help!!! Please. I am trying to give my daughter in law a membership into the DAR by researching her family and completing her application. I so despertly need help with proofs. I am working on the McQueen family who apparently were in the Wood County area since about 1890-1900. I did locate them on the 1900 Pct. 3 Wood Co., census. I was wondering if there is a cemetery reading of the Holland Cemetery because it appears in June 1942 Thomas Hagert McQueen was buried there, his parents Joseph M. McQueen and Nancy Horn McQueen are possibly buried there as well. Joseph "Joe" died about 1910 and his wife 17 Mar 1931 while living with son Sam McQueen.
I was also curious about obituaries…are there any available?
Thank you so much for reading my query and I will be happy to pay any fees.
