The 54th Academy Awards
The only Oscars ceremony that had a specific effect on my life happened thirty years ago, when I was six years old. It was the 54th Academy Awards, and On Golden Pond was our local hero, having mostly been filmed about ten miles away from my house. Everybody I knew seemed to have at least a little connection to it somehow, or claimed to. At six years old, I didn't really understand what any of it meant, but I knew how much the adults seemed to care, and how special the moment seemed to them. The movie immediately became an indelible part of my life.
If that had been it, I'd look back on the 1982 Oscar ceremony with the sort of gauzy nostalgia that fills the movie. But Ernest Thompson won an Oscar that night for adapting his play into a screenplay, and I've known Ernest now for an amount of years neither of us will admit to, and worked with him on numerous local projects. We have really different aesthetics, and I love that — he's been at times the ideal teacher, editor, and director for me because he would never approach a story the way I do, and vice versa. He's intimidatingly smart and articulate, and so better than anybody I've ever met at steering me away from self-indulgent flourishes. (Ernest's commentary track on the anniversary edition DVD of On Golden Pond is a gem, and gives a good sense of his tell-it-like-it-is personality.)
Golden Pond is as close to a part of my DNA as a movie can be, and it's a film that is sacred to folks around here, because Squam Lake still looks quite a bit like it did in the movie, and plenty of people remember seeing Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, and Dabney Coleman around town.
I hadn't paid much attention to what the other nominees were that year until recently. If I remembered anything, it was that Chariots of Fire won for Best Picture and Ernest beat Harold Pinter for Best Adapted Screenplay (Pinter's adaptation of The French Lieutenant's Woman verges on genius, finding cinematic/dramatic ways to replicate the novel's very novelistic complexities of narrative and structure, making an "unfilmable book" into a generally interesting film. I'm glad Ernest won, though.) But though 1981 was hardly an annus miribilis for cinema, there was some interesting work released that year. Among the movies not getting major notice from the Academy, there was Fassbinder's Lola and Lili Marleen; Blow Out; Coup de Torchon; Escape from New York; The Road Warrior; Mommie Dearest; Ms. 45; My Dinner with André; Pennies from Heaven; Polyester; Scanners; Thief; Time Bandits; and a bunch of horror movies: American Werewolf in London, The Evil Dead, Friday the 13th pt. 2, Halloween 2, The Howling, Wolfen, etc. (It was a good year for werewolves and slashers.)
The nominees for Best Picture were a fairly diverse lot: On Golden Pond, Chariots of Fire, Atlantic City, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Reds. People are saying this year is a particularly nostalgic one for the Academy, but look at that list — the only movie on there that takes place in the present in Golden Pond!* That tends to be how the Best Picture nominees go. It's not easy to find a set of Best Picture nominees where the majority are concerned with present-day realism. (I'm not saying there should be. But to be surprised that the Oscars favor nostalgic or historical films is to be surprised that the Oscars are the Oscars.)
I have great love for the great mess that is Reds, but it wasn't until I looked at the various Oscar nominees and winners that I realized it came out in the same year as Ragtime, another politically-charged film about the early 20th century. While Maureen Stapleton won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for playing Emma Goldman in Reds, the character of Emma Goldman was cut out of the film of Ragtime (though a scene with her is available as an extra feature on the DVD). I hope in the coming weeks to revisit both films and write about them a bit here.
For now, though, I just wanted to note that 30 years have passed since On Golden Pond was at the top of the world. For me, that fact alone presents plenty to get nostalgic about.
*Update: As Patrick Murtha points out in the comments, my memory of Atlantic City (which I haven't seen in at least a decade) is faulty. Though I remember it as set in the past, it's set in my past, not the movie's past. So I was wrong. Golden Pond and Atlantic City are both set in their own present, but both are certainly concerned with the past and nostalgia, so my larger point remains.

Isn't it interesting to be old enough to be nostalgic? I wonder when we hit that point in our lives.ReplyDelete
"Atlantic City" takes place in the present of that era. In fact, a good deal of the point of that movie lies in the tension between the Atlantic City that was and the Atlantic City that is (Burt Lancaster: "You should have seen the Atlantic Ocean back then"). The film is not so much nostalgic as a meditation on the meaning of nostalgia.ReplyDelete

Mark Rydell, director of "On Golden Pond," directed A Clean Escape," the episode of MASTERS OF SCIENCE FICTION based on my short story of that title, starring Sam Waterston & Judy Davis. Small world.ReplyDelete
I always remember On Golden Pond, but for a different reason. When I worked as a film projectionist, I showed the reels out of order ... and nobody seemed to notice!ReplyDelete

Parents say the bullying problem at Leavelle McCampbell Middle School has gotten so bad that their children have sustained serious injuries. (WRDW-TV / Feb. 23, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Feb. 23, 2011
GRANITEVILLE, S.C. -- On any given weekend, you'll find Kayla Powers acting like a typical 15-year-old. She's carefree and lighthearted. But during the week, behind the doors of Leavelle McCampbell Middle School, her mood changes.
"It makes me feel bad. Like really bad, because I'm kind of scared to go back to Leavelle," she told News 12.
The school in Graniteville serves 475 students. Kayla is one of them. She says this school year's been a difficult one.
"Since ... the beginning of the school year, I've been getting bullied by the same people, and it kind of ... scares me," she said.
Only weeks ago, Kayla says she was tripped and pushed down a staircase at the middle school. After a trip to Aiken Regional Medical Centers, she spent some time walking with crutches with her ankle wrapped up and her knee in a cast.
"It was a fractured ankle, and then her knee was swollen. It was bruising, and they put her on crutches for two weeks," said Jodie Riley, Kayla's mother.
Multiple students tell News 12 the bully is still in school.
"I see him all the time, and he tries to trip me up, but I walk past it," said Callie Jones, a student at Leavelle.
Despite her injury, Kayla says her injury represents a much bigger issue. We asked her how widespread she believe the bullying problem is at her middle school.
"It's really bad. It's like spreading really bad," she said.
Lloydette Young is principal of the school and couldn't discuss Kayla's case. She couldn't specify if a student was punished and, if so, how he or she was punished, but she said the problem was handled. Ultimately, she says there's not a bullying problem at her middle school.
Aiken County School District Superintendent Beth Everitt says she doesn't believe it's a widespread problem, either.
"I had one report from a parent: an email of concern," she told News 12.
But News 12 has heard from dozens of concerned parents, including Charles Bradshaw, whose daughter also goes to Leavelle.
"They keep saying there's no problems, but Judy comes home crying because somebody's threatening her," he said.
Bradshaw even filed a report with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office this past December after his daughter was injured by a bully.
"He grabbed Judy's bag. She had it on her arm, and when he pulled it, it pulled her down, and she twisted her ankle pretty bad," Bradshaw said.
He says the fall fractured her ankle, and he ultimately had to take her to the hospital, too.
Bradshaw wasn't satisfied with the principal's actions.
"I told her right to her face that if you can't handle the job, just give out. Let somebody else have it," he said.
Down the road, another family has similar feelings.
"When my daughter was hit in the face, the teacher said, 'Well I didn't see it happen. Go sit down,'" said a mother of two middle schoolers.
She didn't want her name known out of fear for her children.
"It all seems to boil down to certain children ... not being taken care of by the administration," she continued. "It's horrible. It's scary. It's really scary. And we feel like no matter what we do, it falls on deaf ears."
She says her middle schoolers come home with new stories of bullying and harassment daily, but she says her conversations with Young have gone nowhere.
"Even the bad children deserve an education. Yeah, I was told that," she said.
But back at Leavelle, Dr. Young was surprised that the frustration exists. News 12 asked her if she'd heard any of that frustration from parents.
"I have not until you shared that with me," she told us.
She says the county's bullying policy is effective and efficient. There are written guidelines for reporting bullying and following up. However, legally, she says she can't always give a parent the details.
"Due to confidentiality, we can not share specifically what consequence a student has received," said Dr. Young.
But students like Cameron Laborde aren't impressed with the way things work. He says most students there realize the problem. Personally, he hasn't been bullied, but he says he sees others bullied frequently.
"My friend had been cornered in the bathroom before, and we've had to step in and do something about it," he said. "There's girls I know that have autism, and they're getting picked on."
But Laborde says he doesn't see the bullies being expelled.
"There's just one guy I know that's been kicked out, and the rest of them are still there," he said.
News 12 recently submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for the number of expulsions and suspensions so far this school year. We're still waiting to get that data.
"As a student [back] then seeing things get handled and as a parent now seeing things get shuffled around, it's very disturbing," said James Smith.
Smith went to Leavelle when he was a kid, now he has two step-sons there.
"My oldest step-son, he was an A [and] B student, and now . . . he's had an F all year. He went from A's and B's to an F," said Smith.
Like other families, Smith and his family also turned to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office for help.
"My child was assaulted in the bathroom by four other students while he was urinating," said the mother of the two children, who didn't want her name known.
The incident report states the "subject pulled him from the urinal exposing his penis to everyone in the room." The child's mother says it was only after she filed with the Sheriff's Office that the school took action, but it was almost two weeks later, she says.
"All I can do is hug my boys and tell them that not everybody's a nice person," said the two boys' biological father.
And Michael Whitmer has been hugging the two boys a lot lately.
"I'd much rather be talking about what new Transformer's coming out or who's going to wrestle who at Wrestlemania than, 'Daddy, why am I being called gay all the time? Or, Daddy,why am I being called a fat butt all the time?'" he said.
Like other parents, Whitmer feels like nothing's being done.
"I don't know about you, but when I was in school, if you screwed up in school, you were done," he said.
Whitmer just hopes the situation at Leavelle is handled before it's too late.
"The situation going on at Leavelle right now it could end up like another school that you hear on the news: Twelve year old walks into a classroom with a loaded shotgun and kills ten people. Why did that happen? Because he was bullied," Whitmer told News 12. "There needs to be something done. They need to change something."
But while both Dr. Young and Dr. Everitt say that one bully is too many, they say the system is working, and it's working particularly well at Leavelle.
"As you told me, you believe that your bullying policy is kind of the model for Aiken County Public School District?" News 12's Chad Mills asked Dr. Young.
"Yes sir, it is," she answered.
"If we have a pattern of concerns at a school, we look into that, but every school is dealing with bullying right now. We will continue to look into it, but the things I've seen at Leavelle and other schools, I'm pleased with the actions that are being taken," added Superintendent Everitt.
Parents do tell News 12 that there are good teachers at the school. They say there's an excellent assistant principal as well.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis team (6-6) delivered an impressive 4-1 victory over No. 63 Middle Tennessee State (4-4) on Friday afternoon in the opening round of the HEB Tournament of Champions. The Islanders will take on No. 55 New Mexico in the second round at 4 p.m. on Friday.
"Hot, windy, outdoor tennis is our strength," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "That is a very good team we just played. I understand why they're nationally ranked – they are very talented and very well coached. They're going to have a very good year.
"This is a great win for our program because this is now the beginning of the second half of the season," Moore added, "and it is a very distinct second half of the season. Indoor, fast tennis is now over and outdoor, hot, windy, guts tennis now begins. These guys have a ton of heart and character, and they showed it today. This is a big turnaround point for our team this year."
The Islanders earned a hard-fought victory in the doubles, taking the point 2-1. Aurelien Tave and Peter Nagy knocked off MTSU's Christoph Lang and Ben Davis, 8-5, at the No. 1 doubles position, while Fernando Llorens and Nathan Robinson fell to Ettore Zito and Matt Langley at No. 3, 8-3. That left the doubles point in the hands of Alex Pavlov and Gergo Weidinger, and the pair earned a 9-7 victory over Yannick Born and Marlon Brand to put the Islanders ahead 1-0 heading to singles.
A&M – Corpus Christi earned victories at the top two spots to push the lead to 3-0. Tave dispatched Langley 6-0, 6-1, while Nagy overcame a strong effort from Davis to take a 6-3, 6-1 decision. Weidinger fell at No. 3 to Lang, 6-4, 6-3, with those three matches finishing well in advance of those at Nos. 4, 5 and 6.
The attention flipped to the other side of the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, where all three Islanders were engaged in a tough battle. Robinson took the first set 6-3 from Zito to put A&M – Corpus Christi on the verge of victory, but Zito bounced back and took the second set, 6-2. Their match went unfinished with Zito taking the first game of the third set.
At Nos. 5 and 6, both Llorens and Jordao took their first sets, 7-6 and 7-5, respectively, and faced tough battles in the second set as well. Llorens was able to seal the match with a 6-4 win over Forrest Edwards in the second set. Jordao was on the cusp of finishing the victory as well, leading 6-5 in the second when his match went unfinished.
In the other early matches, UNM scored a 4-0 victory over Western Michigan at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. In the two matches played at the HEB Tennis Center, Oklahoma State defeated DePaul, 4-2, and Louisiana-Lafayette knocked off South Alabama, 4-1.
The Islanders will now face New Mexico in the semifinals at 4 p.m. on Friday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, while MTSU takes on WMU in the loser's bracket at the same location. OSU and ULL will square off in the winner's bracket at the HEB, while DePaul and USA will be at the HEB in the loser's bracket.

Whether you support the decision or not, the Supreme Court last week authored a historical decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, granting same-sex couples the same federal benefits heterosexual couples enjoy.
The outcome certainly advances history towards a wider acceptance of same-sex relationships.
But the congressional representative for the Lake of the Ozarks area, Harrisonville-native Vicky Hartzler, now in her second term, disparaged the court's decision in a statement released June 26.
Hartzler appeared at a press conference in Washington the same day and was included in the CBS Evening News' coverage of the court's ruling.
Among Hartzler's statements;
"Today the Court got it wrong. The activist ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act ignored the votes of a bipartisan majority of Congress. This alarming precedent disempowers Congress from making national policy with respect to marriage."
Um, what?
Firstly, in no way should Congress dictate the terms of marriage whatsoever.
But I never thought I would read a self-proclaimed Republican-to-the-bone rebuke the court for taking away congressional power.
I would have thought Hartzler a champion of less government regulation. I guess she doesn't prescribe to the same Republican party that fostered the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
"It is wise public policy upholding the reality that every child needs a mom and a dad, and society benefits when they do."
Line up, single parents across the country. Turn your children in. You're not giving your children what they need.
I believe children need love, stability and a good grounding in moral virtue. Those provisions can be derived from any number of parental combinations.
"We will continue to work to protect marriage..."
This one gets me every time. The term 'protect [or defend, take your pick] marriage' is used for one aim: to instill fear, distrust and create a divide between Americans based on their differences.
Marriage doesn't need protecting from Rep. Hartzler, because marriage means something different to everyone. I resent Rep. Hartzler's desire to create a wedge between heterosexual people and everyone else.
The only people in need of protection is 4th district constituents from speech actions used for the sole purpose of demonizing and hurting others.
I dislike Rep. Hartzler because she insists on this contradictory platform of government power in combination with attempts to continually marginalize a segment of her constituents.
If you get a chance to meet Rep. Hartzler, suggest to her that she cast stones at a person granted a divorce the next time she sees or interacts with him or her. Hartzler wouldn't do it, even if the Bible dictates such an appropriate punishment, because the law classifies that reaction as assault, but more importantly, society has determined that the historical and biblical penalty for divorce is inhumane and outdated.
Page 2 of 2 - Why does Hartzler insist on embarking on and maintaining a crusade to ruin the lives of other people, many of whom live in her district?
I wrote in a column some months ago that sometimes people, whether they like it or not, need to be dragged into societal realities. Rep. Hartzler can — and should — maintain her personal beliefs. But they shouldn't impede on the lives of others when they've done nothing to deserve condemnation. It's rather entitled of her.
I implore — and hope you do too — Rep. Hartzler to search within herself to identify if she truly wants spend her time in our broken capitol waging war against American citizens who merely want to pursue their God-given right to happiness and life-fulfillment, instead of solely addressing issues in desperate need of attention in this country.
Because to preclude a very real portion of the American population from a basic right is much like the ancient punishment for divorce — antiquated.

Hi Rojewski. Do I have any races planned ???
Dare I say it - I am thinking a fall marathon. I missed last year because of the injury and I like the challenge of the marathon. (I ran 4 in the last 4 years before accident) . Plus, I still don't think I have hit my true - PR yet...plus, I am a new age group this year (50) so I will be a young 'un out there. Ran a 9 miler last week and felt OK afterwards. Knee will always be a little twingey I think. I am concerned about collateral injury from the reconstrution (ITB, achilles, etc.) Would like to drop 10 - 15 just to make it easier on the new knee. But I might look too scrawny if loose too much. (husband not into scrawny, boney look.) Still haven't got to the double digit runs yet so I don't know how my knee will react to a 15-plus miler. That should tell me a lot. How 'bout you?
Hey Skypenny,
I've missed talking to you! I was actually thinking about you the other day! Good job on the progress! A fall marathon, huh? Where are you thinking of going? It sounds as if things are finally starting to come together for you! Good, you've waited a long time for this!!! Are youdoing any shorter races to see where you are at?
I am doing a 5k on Friday night, this race is to just get me back into racing again and take the rust off the wheels and also to see where I'm at as far as fitness. The real test will be on the 21st of May I have another 5k scheduled. I hate 5k's they are too fast, I like the longer distances. I promised my coach that I would ice that knee down well right after I finish that race. He is a little concerned about the course. it starts going down a big hill and finishes going back up that hill. The rest of the course is flat.
I'm up to double digit miles I did my second 10 mile run last Saturday at a hilly park nearby. No issues or soreness and I was able to keep up with all of my running partners without any problems!! I'm up to running almost 40 miles a week with one of those days being a fartlek run. Next Wednesday I go to the track to do a workout. I am WAY ahead of where my coach and I thought I would be at this point!
Yes, I am planning on doing a marathon this fall. I've narrowed it down to 5 solid choices. I would love to run a PR because like you I know I haven't reached my full potential yet. All I really want to do is requalify for Boston at this point. I really think that will not be a problem.
Let me know where you are considering on doing your comeback marathon!!
Marycrow so how did the surgery go. Hope all is ok. keep us posted
sending you speedy recovery wishes
Hi Rojewski - Wow. You are way ahead of me - but the meniscus repair set me back more. My surgery was a year ago yesterday. This time last year I was in the machine all medicated and iced and I couldn't get out of bed w/o help. Now I am up to about 23 miles a week (plus cross training), with my longest run (last week) at 9. Plan to hit double digit long run this weekend and see what happens. Not focusing too much on speed. I still don't have my wind back. I swam at my club this morning and cooled down with a breastroke - my knee still feels really weird when I do the breaststroke. I think knee will always feel tight. Also, I still don't have full range of motion back, but I only notice it when I am trying to squat down to get something from the bottom shelf. Which marathon? I am thinking maybe Cape Cod - it is close to home and a friend in work might run it. And it's pretty (but hilly) I am also thinking maybe Chicago because I just spent a week there and fell in love with the city. I need around 25 minutes to BQ - so I won't BQ for a while - maybe when I hit next age group if I keep my current fitness. What marathon will you do ?
Hey Skypenny,
Yes, I do still have a few issues and squating down to get somthing off a shelf is an issue for me. I usually have to grab somthing. I feel like an old lady, when I get up from squatting! Funny!
Cape Cod, huh? I have had mixed feelings on a few marathons. I have 5 considerations that I am struggling with right now. 1 Detroit (I always run well here and it's close to home with alot of support from running partners!) 2. Grand Rapids, never done but heard its a good one to run. 3 Philly This was the last marathon I did before my surgery and I really enjoyed it. 4. Memphis, I've heard good things here 5. Whistlestop in Wisconsin, again I've heard good things about this race. I am going for a BQ and I have lots of time to really be prepared.
My running partners are all going to Chicago! This is close for me also, I just don't want to go there yet. I've heard great things about Chicago too!
It sounds as if both of us are making a comeback. I don't have a pool nearby that I can go and swim at. I wish I did. I took lessons last summer and enjoyed it and can see where you could really benefit from swimming.
Keep me updated on your progress! I enjoy hearing from you!
Hi everyone. I tore my ACL last summer and pretty much destroyed all the meniscus on both sides of my knee. I had it all repaired a few months later. I had the patella tendon graft and half of the medial meniscus removed. The lateral meniscus was sewn back together. I have a scar about 5 or 6 inches long down my knee. It's quite a painful and frustrating experience. Obviously, I wouldn't want to do it again.
I used to run before I injured myself - don't get on a trampoline drunk, that's all I'm saying - and I haven't had the courage to trying running any great distances yet. I bike a lot and use the elliptical trainer in the gym, and have few problems with my knee, though I can't kneel on hard surfaces. I would swim, but unfortunately I put on a bit of weight since my surgery (about 20lb). I want to start running again to try and lose a bit of the weight, but I'm a really nervous. I keep thinking I'm going to re-injure myself.
Has anyone got any advice, as I'm quite unfit now, on getting back up to running 3-5 miles a day like I used to. How did people cope with the nerves?
Hi fishjumper,
I tore my ACL last winter and waited about 4 months before having the reconstruction surgery (hamstring graft). It turns out that sometime shortly after my injury in Jan. 05 I formed a blood clot behind the affected knee. Despite having problems breathing in addition to other scary symptoms until even after my reconstruction surgery, nobody thought to link my skiing accident with the PE symptoms but eventually they determined that I had passed several clots to my lungs. After spending 5 months feeling like my body was broken (and I'm only 28!), I did start feeling better about 3 months or so after my surgery. I'm still being treated for the clots and most likely I'll be on blood thinners for the rest of my life, but as a new runner I feel like following a training program and journaling my progress has renewed my confidence in the way my body works.
My knee works well. I don't have quite the same degree of hyperextension as in the other knee and I still have a good bit of residual swelling from the blood clot, which along with the fading surgery scars is a little hard for my vanity! But starting with very modest goals and reminding myself to be happy with each accomplishment has in large part helped me to overcome the nervousness you mention.
Good luck!

Hi fishjumper. It is nomal to be nervous about running again because the comeback from the ACL surgery is so grueling. I actually did re-injure myself running 6 mos. after surgery - but the ACL held up just fine - it was my MCL and it healed up again after another 3 months of PT. Anyway...I would start coming back on the treadmill - you won't lose your footing and you can go as slow as you want. When I was coming back, my PT had me start with 3 minutes and then increase in incremets of one minute and not to run on consecutive days. It sounds like it takes forever, but it adds up in no time. Lately I am running most of my miles on a TM - last time I ran outside I sprained my ankle ! But my ACL help up just fine !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0! I am going outside now for a quick run ....
Hi Fishjumper! Welcome to the world of ACL rehab! It will get better. I just had surgery on Dec 21 but, I had a cadaver tendon put in. My recovery was swift but, I agree with Skypenny. My PT's had me doing the same things. They had me on a treadmill doing increments by time 1 min of running 2 mins of walking and building from there. They also had me start by hanging onto the railings for support. ANother treadmill excercise that was given to me was turning around on the treadmill and walking backwards, pushing the belt with my legs. This is a great workout and my quads were killing me after the first time I did this. It got better and they had me do this for up to 10 mins. But, as far as the running they only started me out running twice a week under their guidance. At first I felt like it was taking forever to get back up and running consecutively. I was frustrated and feeling as if everyone (PT's and my coach) were holding me back. It was for my own good. One other thing I did alot was use the stationary bike at the gym. Once they got me started on that I became a fiend, because PT said I could do this as much as I wanted within reason. Biking at that time was my only outlet! As of today, I'm back up to 50 miles a week and having no problems at all(I'm not normal)!!!! I have returned to racing and smashing old PR's! I can't wait for my comeback marathon in October! All of my runs are stronger and solid. Hang in there and be patient, we are here for support. If you have a bad day this is where you need to come.
Hi Skypenny! I miss talking to you.
HI Rojewski - Glad to hear you are running 50 mpw. Wow. I am up to only 20 mpw, plus lots of swimming; weights etc. I will start my 'official' training in 2 weeks - I registered for a fall marathon. This will be my 5th, We'll see how my knee holds up. I still haven't run a double digit run since the injury - I had the MCL rip last fall and than a sprained ankle last month that set me back (again). But now I am feeling more like my old self. My knee is fine - still a little tight- but I hardly think about it anymore. I am so glad I had the surgery - when I sprained my ankle last month running on a grassy trail by the Charles RIver I later thought - 'wow. My knee held up great ! If I hadn't had the ACL fixed I probably woudl have ripped what little cartilege I had left before the meniscus microfracture surgery.' Anyway, I am glad we started this site because when I was cruising the net for info during my convelescence, there was very little on ACL and running because it is nto a running injury. (scary thought - this winter I will get back on my skis for the first time since accident ....) Keep in touch.
Hey, there hasn't been too much chat in the past few months...how's everyone doing?
here's my story, and my questions, if anyone has an answer.
i'm 21 female, played D3 college basketball. my senior year, things looking great for the new season...and within the 1st 1/2 of the 2nd game of the season i tear my ACL. MRI shows complete tear, no other injuries. it was pretty devestating for me, since i needed 100 more points to be the 5th female at the college to score 1000 points in her college career. luckily, i was able to red-shirt the year, and i decided to try to come back to play for the next season.
i had reconstructive surgery jan 3, 06...hamstring autograft. since i am exactly 6 months out, my sergeon says i'm ok to play basketball again. i, on the other hand, am nervous.
i am able to run with no knee problems...as some of you had previously said, the new knee just isn't the same, it's sore afterward (mostly just some soreness to go up stairs), and i ice after every run. within the past week i got fitted for a knee brace, which i've heard does provide some stabilization, but is mostly just for psychological support.
i guess my question is...does anyone know the chance of injuring the acl on the other knee? or reinjuring the new acl?
i really want to play again, but i'm paranoid that i will get hurt again.
you guys seem to have similar stories and a real support forum here...thanks for your interest.
Hi OSNitro
My physical therapist mentioned that once you've torn one ACL that it's not uncommon to tear the other since it's really easy to rely too much on the uninjured knee instead of building back even strength on both sides. With running this is maybe not such an issue, since ACL tears aren't typical running injuries, but with skiing or other sports (soccer, basketball maybe?).
Good luck with your recovery!
This is such an awesum website..i tore my acl on may 3rd while doing taekwondo ,the doc said tht if i want to lead a sedentry lifestyle i dont need a surgery but i do taekwondo..besides tht i run ( not a heavy runner like u guys but run 5 mils on the treadmill 5 days a week....also workout in the gymn with wts etc....i had the surgery ..acl reconstruction ...done two weeks ago on june 22nd...hamstring ..everything looks grt..i only used the crutches for a week...my phyiscal therapy starts in two days..am so looking forward for it...i have a ques....i have to take this trip to india around 20th sept..haveto do a lot of walking there .. wot do u suggest /? shud i or shud i not..am a very self motivated person..i think i will do well with the PT n all..i nede opnion from the pros..wot do u guys thing abt the trip ??i will continue my PT there also at home..just going for 3 weeks only....help..help..help....lol
hey niana,
i'm pretty new to this forum also, but i'll offer my advice based on my recovery so far. i had the ham graft on jan 3rd of this year...so i'm about 6mths post-op. I'm not a runner, but i play basketball all the time, which is how i tore my acl.
Like you, about 3 months after my surgery I went to NYC for the week (i'm not sure how long your trip is) but i did A LOT of walking there!
I'm not gonna lie, I was sore, but it was nothing that i couldn't handle. I think doing the stairs was the hardest part, but still the ACL didn't get in my way of enjoying my vacation. I just made sure i iced it! If you do your PT and everything, i think by the time of the trip you'll know whether or not you can handle all that walking.
good luck!
ps, a trip like that doesn't happen every day (for me anyway!), so weigh your options before you make a decision!!!

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8581 Sylvia üfcLeod Box 665 Roñan, MT 59864 NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH, PEND d'OREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 12 NUMBER 1 THE MONTH OF THE BITTERROOT MAY 15, 1983 Indian portion of Jobs Bill money announced by Interior, Melcher More than 6,400 man-years of employment will be created on Indian reservations in 27 states by projects to be funded through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) with funds received under the 1983 Emergency Jobs Act, Interior Assistant Secretary Ken Smith announced this week. Smith said that tentative allocations of $114.5 million to reservation projects had been completed and that the funds would be transmitted to Bureau area offices in the field in the next few days. The act provided $20 million for natural resource development on reservations; $30 million for the Bureau's Housing TERS students stage walk-out Several Two Eagle River School students staged an afternoon walk-out in Dixon April 28. Newspapers from Missoula to Pablo were notified by phone early that day that a number of students planned to boycott afternoon classes in protest of the suspension and firings of five teachers. Two other reasons given Char-Koosta were the "purge" of several teachers during the previous school year, and the refusal by the administration to allow former director Vic Charlo to speak at this year's commencement exercises. Our informant said Shelly Fyant Windy Boy, Anna Whiting and Patty Caye were suspended for three days while Everett Fyant and Bob Tailfeathers were fired. Fyant later told the (Concludes on page four) Improvement Program; $24.5 million for the construction of a high school on the Hopi Indian Reservation; $30 million for the rehabilitation of Indian irrigation systems; and$10 million for the repair and renovation of BIA jails on reservations. Assistant Secretary Smith, the administration's top Indian official, said that unemployment on many of the reservations exceeded 50 percent "These funds are helping to meet critical needs on the reservations," Smith said "They are providing badly needed jobs now and strengthening the reservation infrastructures for future developments." Smith noted that the Indian reservations would be receiving additional assistance under the jobs act through the Indian Health Service, HUD, and other federal agencies. The $20 million for natural resource projects includes $12.5 million for agriculture and range development These funds will be used for erosion control, fencing, brush and weed control, cattle guard construction, livestock water systems and related tasks. Another $5 million will be used for forestry projects, including the maintenance of forest roads. The balance of $2.5 million is for Tribal fisheries and stream clearance projects. The $30 million for housing improvements will benefit 87 tribes and six Alaska villages. The funds will be used for bringing*, existing housing up to minimum standards and for new construction Rehabilitation work on 36 Indian irrigation systems will be carried out with the $30 million allotted for that purpose. This will include dam repairs, ditch linings and other needed work. (Continued next page)

RICHMOND -- Activists celebrated Valentine's Day by passing out "Health Care Valentines" downtown on Thursday.
The idea was to spread word about Contra Costa County's Low Income Health Program (LIHP), which has thousands of unfilled spots for uninsured residents.
"People need to have access to health care before the emergency room," said Najari Smith, one of about a dozen local activists from the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), which organized the rally and passed out fliers around Nevin Avenue and 11th Street.
LIHP is part of the Affordable Care Act's Medi-Cal expansion before 2014. Uninsured adults can qualify for health coverage provided by the county, matched with federal dollars, if they earn less than twice the federal poverty level, about $23,000 per year for a single adult. An estimated 30,000 area residents may be eligible but are not yet signed up, ACCE spokesman Melvin Willis said.
Call the county hotline at 1-800-771-4270 or visit cchealth.org/insurance/basic_health_care/ for more information.

NEWARK -- A day after an angry overflow audience chastised district trustees for breeding the dysfunctional environment that led Superintendent Dave Marken to resign, school board members' biggest challenge remains: They must repair their toxic relationship with district employees and parents.
Reaching that goal seemed daunting Tuesday night, when about 200 people chanted Marken's name at the meeting's end, leaving no doubt over whom the community supports in the dispute.
"The show of support was very humbling, quite overwhelming," Marken said Wednesday in an interview. "It was surreal on one hand, yet on the other hand there's a sense of sadness for students and the district." He had sat silently on the dais with the board Tuesday night as speakers attacked the trustees and praised him.
When Marken resigned last week, employees and parents were outraged that the leader who had lifted Newark Unified to unprecedented heights was leaving after three years on the job.
At the meeting, the community put its anger on full display. A dozen speakers lambasted the board for creating the "negative, back-stabbing" atmosphere that eroded trust and chased away Marken.
After nearly an hour of blistering critiques, the clearly shaken school board members agreed with most of their critics.
"Our board is extremely proud of this district. But, unfortunately, we lost our way," trustee Charlie Mensinger said, reading from a prepared statement. "Please join me in changing our climate: no more negativity, no more fighting, no more talking behind each other's backs and, finally, let's ... develop the action for success that we all want."
The board soon will hold a workshop to review its policies and procedures, including the protocol on communication with district employees, said trustee Ray Rodgriguez. "Communication is supposed to be from the board to the superintendent, not to staff employees," he said. "That's another reason to have the work session, so that our fellow board members understand that."
Marken's resignation is effective Sept. 30, and a change of heart is not likely, he said.
"We have some serious leadership and governance issues, and unless they are repaired immediately, I have serious concerns," he said. "With the damage that has been done, it's probably time to look elsewhere."
At the meeting, speakers accused some trustees of poisoning the relationship between the board and district staff by intimidating principals by showing up unannounced at school sites, publicly bad-mouthing district employees and micromanaging how Marken ran the district.
"I am heartbroken," said Graham Elementary Principal Terrance Dunn.
Dunn called on trustees to cease their "toxic reputation of operating by gossip and bullying" and instead follow Marken's model of "trusting good people to make good choices."
Loud, extended applause followed his remarks.
The Newark Management Association, a labor group representing district managers, announced a no-confidence vote in the school board.
Marken became Newark superintendent in April 2011 and immediately helped persuade voters to pass Measure G, a $63 million school improvement bond.
Last year, Newark Unified achieved the largest growth in API testing scores among Alameda County school districts, and two Newark campuses were awarded the state's Distinguished School Status for the first time in more than a decade.
Marken garnered the Superintendent of the Year award for the Association of California School Administrators' Region 6, which includes nearly 20 East Bay districts.
Marken said he does not plan to retire.

It's not clear what causes spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) causes a superficial tear inside an artery. When the inner layers of the artery separate from the outer layers, blood can pool in the area between the layers. The pressure of the pooling blood can make a short tear much longer. And blood trapped between the layers can form a blood clot.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) may slow blood flow through the artery to the heart, which makes the heart work harder. Or blood flow through the artery can be completely stopped, causing heart muscle to die (heart attack).

There's a new option for skiers, mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts at Copper Mountain.
123Mountain has opened up its second shop in Colorado, located at the Village at Copper, and offers a wide range of brands for all kinds of outdoor equipment.
"We start at where REI ends," said owner Sofia Goumas.
Goumas, who hails from Sweden, is planning to integrate more European brands into the store. There is a focus on high-end, quality brands. Goumas chose Copper as the new location because she felt there was a niche that the store could fill.
"It's something that you can't find today at Copper," she said of the products she sells. "That is equipment that you can't find in any other store. I think it's a win-win situation for us and for Copper."
123Mountain sells both winter and summer gear, including racing gear for children and adults. According to Goumas, customers can find "everything from ice axes to normal clothing."
Goumas started the business in 2009, in preparation for her move to the United States. The website offers the company's entire range of brands and equipment. It also has an interesting and unique feature - live chat with a sales person, so customers can ask questions even while shopping online. The online help is not outsourced, but run by a core staff of employees from the Lakewood branch.
"You're going to get one of us on the line, and we're going to try to help you any way that we can," Goumas said.
From the store in Copper, customers can also purchase the H20 ski-line made by Dean Cummings, as well as his guided travel packages to Alaska.
Goumas has skied for most of her life, and also has 15 years of snowboarding experience. She moved to Colorado in 2010, and has been enjoying it ever since. Her two daughters now ski with Team Summit, so Goumas splits her time between Summit County and Lakewood, which is where her first store location is based.
"We realized our dream; we always wanted to live in the Rocky Mountains, and of course it's a beautiful place to live," Goumas said. "It's a very nice playground."

Seneca Falls-based Waterloo Container, a major bottle supplier to wineries across the U.S. and Canada, will fund a holiday campaign to promote Rochester-area restaurants that are on the Top Ten NY Wine Spots list.
The list was created through New York Wine Spotting, a Buy Local movement encouraging restaurants to add more local wines to their menus.
The holiday advertising campaign to promote restaurants on the Top Ten NY Wine Spots list will air in December. Restaurants can submit their wine lists for ranking to Michael Warren Thomas at email@example.com and must do so by Nov. 22 in order to be considered for the TV campaign.
Local wine lovers can continue to get involved by taking the pledge to be a NY Wine Spotter either at NY Wine Spotting on Facebook or at www.NYWineSpotting.com.
Page 2 of 2 - A media release promoting New York Wine Spotting cited recent events that have boosted the New York wine industry through the wine spotting project. On November 3, a wine tour brought 15 restaurant managers and staff to Keuka, Canandaigua and Seneca lakes. The tour was hosted by radio host and noted local wine advocate Michael Warren Thomas and included tastings and a behind-the-scenes look at six wineries. Then, on Nov. 4, an educational meet and greet was held at The Revelry on University Avenue in Rochester with 30 management and staff representing 17 Rochester restaurants. The same six wineries poured their best food-friendly wines with winemakers and winery owners on hand to answer questions and help form relationships with restaurant staff.

Advice for VETS
1. Before you get out, make sure you visit all the medical offices. INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH. This is the time you need to discuss your STRESS ISSUES DUE TO COMBAT! Do this before you even sign off on any exit medical packet. This is one area VETS get messed over. If the claim is not in your ORIGIONAL file when you seek VA comp. Proving it will be hard. OH YEA. for all you new guys in the system. You have up to a year to seek help for "Medical Conditions" experienced during your service. Use you first year out wisely, Take care of those VA issue first.
2. Claim every first time medical event no matter how trivial. If the event rates a 0 "ZERO" that's a rating. If there are complications later, you can always re-file.
3. Get the backing from the American Legion, DAV, VFW or State Veteran Organization. Do not go through the process alone. You will miss a step and that could cost time.
4. Make all your VA appointments. Under no circumstances miss an appointment. If you need to reschedule it may take months to get you back in the loop.
5. Be prepared to wait, wait, wait and wait some more.
6. Check in often with your American Legion, VA, DAV, VFW, rep. helping you with your case. DO NOT CALL THE VA. The person you get will just transfer you to some other person who will just put you on hold or transfer you to a recording. Ask your Rep to assist, they may know exactly who to call.
7. Wait, Wait, and wait some more. At this point +-1 year, do not get angry and start calling people. And if you do and can talk to someone BE NICE. AGAIN REQUEST HELP FROM YOU VET rep.
8. When you finally get you decision pack. If you disagree with the decision, re-file. DO NOT WAIT, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT A THOUSAND DOLLARS. Find your VET REP and re-file.
9. Then wait, wait, wait and wait some more.
10. OK, the whole process took me 4 years. but I have finally received an acceptable rating.
THANKS TO THE American LEGION
by the way, on my last post(budfurd), In my text, #@, I said I had problems with VA RE: a claim when I was taken to a Civilivan Hosp ER, for a Fall I had in My APPT. I had many talks with the VA trying to get it straigened out and met with some rudeness from VA people. It never did get fixed and I went from 760 of my Sredit score to 605. Thanks for nothing VA. It still is not fixed and attorney's will not help with a beef with the Gov.This was 3 years ago. Nice HUH?????
Many of the comments I have read are very 'Right On'. The guy at the top seems to be out to ruin the US rather than help all of us and get things going again. Even the flag is no longer presented from the CinC. It is presented at funerals as, Greatly Appreciated, from the SECDEF. Check it out.
1, Benefits have been denied when should have been approved!
2, When I fell I had to be taken to a Civilian facility and not VA. The VA hosp in Denver would not accept any ambulances at the facility. ......... I had all my bills in the next month after my release from rehab, and mailed them to the VA at the place in Montana as instructed. A month later, I get a letter, that I was not Timely in getting bills to VA and 2 I had other insurance, Part B of medicare, which I did not have. First time I found this out.
3, I get so frustrated getting all sorts of denial letters from the Va. The process is way to complicated and compartmentized.
I say we should shake the whole VA up and kick out 25% of the very top executives and stop all the bonuses.
I am a wounded Vietnam Veteran and I am currently rated at 80%. I filed an updated claim 08/30/2011 that is currently not resolved by the VA. Projected dates for closure is 04/2013 - 11/2013? Really?
Lets start by taking the new Veterans (Iraq/Afganstan) who have obvious injuries such as a missing leg, missing arm, blind or a multitude/combination of these injuries and pay them from day one when they leave the military rehab facilities as Disabled Veterans on the same day for their known obvious injuries per the VA's disability standard. No lengthly claims/filing processes. Their condition is obvious PAY NOW. If there are less obvious issues with these Veterans then start the "Claim" process on day one. Why would the VA want to make these wounded Veterans wait until the "entire claim" is processed before these individuals have some income to begin the rest of their life?
Now using that as a starting criteria, process all other claims in the order in which they received. I believe that economics would call that FIFO (first in/first out). Do not get me wrong some (bare minimum) exceptions will have to be made.
But back to my particular situation I am now 19 months into a complex claim that must keep moving to the bottom of the pile because the VA has not figured out how to do the hard stuff so lets just keep it buried.
The VA response keeps saying we have received new information that must be evaluated. I am 65 years old and served my Country as a combat officer 44 years ago. I spent nearly six months in the hospital from my injuries and in those six months rehab, with the exception of learning to walk again, was non-existent. With that being said everytime I am seen by the VA and or a private physician new evidence is being generated. That cannot be stopped. There is enough evendence in my VA Claim record right now to
come to some resolution.
Finally, I have been a member of the American Legion for 45 continous years and the American Legion currently has been authorized power of attorney for me to act on my behalf on this claim. To this point, other that receiving a letter from the American Legion that it has noted this power of attorney the American Legion sadly has done nothing on my part to help me resolve this claim.
I also think the idea of having the Dod and Va health records should be combined. The new medical history of the civiliam world will soon be available to any of your doctors no matter where you get care and that helps when you more or are injuried away from home. This also would give more proof of dated of injury and service.
I would've thought that since the VA hasn't updated their procedures since WWI/WWII, you would've thought that they would based on the nature of New Technology. But then that's forward thinking and they, VA, won't do that. Too much effort on their part. Yes, I am a disgruntled Veteran of the Cold WAR, but the system is broken and needs to be updated to the more modern issues facing veterans, not based on years gone by. Maybe they should hire more "EXPERIENCED" people to cut down on the "wait time" for evaluations or even the re-evaluations.
One: Just stop sending our citizens off to fight the wars of other countries and business interest. Or Two: get those countries and businesses to pay for the full cost of war. I like the first choice but even option two would help those who need help now. Perhaps if they have to pay for it they will think twice before sending us off.
Over 50% voted for overhaul the system and make it less complicated. My first thought was "Do they have any idea how long that would take? Vets need help NOW." Then I paused and heard what that message was. The current system is unusable, confusing, unresponsive and unapproachable. Personally, I went without help for almost 50 years because of misinformation. SO, What can be done quickly? Every honorably discharged veteran should be automatically enrolled with the VA. That would have saved me 48 years and then 9 months after application before I showed up angry enough to ask what the hell was going on and was told to go up to St Petersburg Regional Office and present myself to the ER to get things rolling. Also, make the decisions local. If the doc the Vet sees after discharge thinks yes to a request- believe it. Audit and appeal can follow. That will dramatically reduce the amount of stuff being shuffled to the bottom of the stack and some of the backlog can be addressed locally. I hope this will buy us enough breathing space to meet the promise that we have made to our Vets and look closely at an effective overhaul.
On a personal note, I'm in my 70's and while it's financially difficult, I've opted to use personal medical insurance for as long as I can to reduce the load on the VA and make it available for those with grater need and less resources. I'm not being a 'hero'. I'm just trying to be a brother in arms. I got through some how, but I understand the hopelessness that's part of why our brothers and sisters are ending their lives.
Establish local boards composed of veterans. Local boards cover an area of 3-4 counties with reps from different areas. Eliminate a lot of the trivial regulations and rules and allow flexability by the RSVO. Put a time limit on claim waits and stick to it, if time is passed the claim is auto awarded. It can be audited at later date. Quick look at claims and if looks valid, offer quick settlement eg 20-30%. C&P Exams by non-contract company as is at present (FEE BASIS)
I would like to recommend a web site review for those who truly want to know how to approach this broken system. Send me an e-mail as subject"seniorvsr" and I will contact you, since I can't put the site on this posting. Read it all very closely. It is coming from an expert veteran who does battle with the monster every day. I also do that battle and stand very fast on an urgent need to have Congress select an outside the good ol boy system operation, possibly the Government Accounting Office do a qualified time and motion study on the broken system. Immediate action would be to stop the production points and quality system that feeds the monster every day. Not having adequate time to process a claim combined with an outrageous volume of mandates and rule changes as well as interpretations is chocking the broken system to death. You might want to do a little homework on the VBMAP, Veterans Benefit Management System to get a peek at reality. God bless my fellow veterans, we shall need it dearly!
Fire all personel that are not ex military and put the vets to work on the claims. I bet the back log would be cleared up in no time. When I have been to a VA office I see a lot of people BS'ing and not working. Let the vets work for the same pay that they got in the military with advancement the same.
Stop sending claims to some VA "doctor" in Texas or Virginia for review and determination for a veteran in Florida or Wash. state. Keep It Simple Stupid. Local "doctor" can see/speak with veteran claimant if necessary, instead of one a thousand miles away reading an impersonal claim form typed by some over-worked and disinterested GS7 in a tiny office in St. Pete Dist. VA Office. Paperwork is just that - paperwork, not a human, breathing, bleeding veteran. Local, Duh!
there are too many old "good old boy" in the VA system now!! many VETS need to be taken care of NOW !!! if they cant handle the load then out sourse the needs of Vets.. cant afford it then quit taken golf trip to Fla. to Play gold with WOODS
USMC Tacarroll's comment above nailed it - "Incorporate VA into the DoD discharge process. Since the Veteran is being released medically, the Veteran should automatically be enrolled in VA and receive benefits at an amount agreeable by DoD and VA standards."
Using VSO's is a great idea but the problem has been ongoing for too long. Termination of VA exec's it the only way to shake up the enthroned executive team. They are the one's who demand the back log of claims. I heard once upon a time the VA mantra was the benefit of doubt goes to the veteran. VA's new mantra is the veteran is lying until he can prove his claim is true. Approve all claims and audit later. What's worse than being in a foreign country being shot at by the enemy? Being at home being shot at by your so called friends.
To reduce the backlog, VA needs to do the following:
1. Eliminate all bonuses and work-credits, across-the-board. VA employees make decent salaries already and have solid retirement packages. If that isn't good enough, they should go work in the private sector. People who work for VA should be primarily motivated by their desire to help veterans, not by bonuses. The salaries that some senior VA officials is embarrassing, given the current state of operational and administrative deficiencies.
2. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki isn't the bad guy, but he needs to clean house. Under-performing regional directors and staff need to be fired. If that may cause too much ire and gnashing of teeth among the ranks and union reps, then demote those entrenched bureaucrats and give them far lesser responsibilities. Turn those incompetent GS-15s and higher into incompetent GS-9s or lower. If they don't like the salary cuts, they can look for jobs in the private sector.
3. Do the single electronic health record system yesterday. Don't blame the previous administration, don't tout one system over the other, and don't cancel programs because a deadline might not be met. Put DoD and VBA into a large room and lock the door. When they send up a white plume of smoke, then let them out and get to work. The Shinseki-Panetta pact hasn't worked out. President Obama needs to DIRECT the two agencies to solve the problem as a Manhattan-like project and save millions of trees.
4. Follow The American Legion's advice. It submitted three specific, reasonable recommendations to Congress on March 20. The White House should direct VA to follow those recommendations asap. Other VSOs make a lot of noise about forming presidential commissions, putting some veterans ahead of others in the claims application process, blah, blah, blah. Some of these critics would know a disability claims file if it smacked them in the face.
5. Provide more medical training to VA claims adjudicators. Veterans are served very poorly by VA employees who don' t know that "extremities" means hands and feet. Yes, that really happened in one case and caused unneeded delay in getting earned benefits to a veteran.
Come on, VA! Heed the call. Melt away the bureaucratic inertia and start up a lean-and-mean veteran-serving machine!
All your points have been made before, shoved aside as financially unfeasible, and the status quo lives on. Vets fought once before for the rights of others, but lost the will to fight for themselves. What have we done to ourselves?
Incorporate VA into the DoD discharge process. Since the Veteran is being released medically, the Veteran should automatically be enrolled in VA and receive benefits at an amount agreeable by DoD and VA standards. Since Standards and circumstances for increases can differ from those for an initial rating, have a separate claims process for Veterans applying for increases or a re-evaluation.
Why not utilize the Department VSO and County VSO more in the process for approvals. They most likely are already helping the person do the paperwork.

Traffic was detoured off South Main Street for two hours Thursday as firefighters and utility crews responded to a broken natural gas pipe under the driveway entrance to the former Kinney Drugs store in Canandaigua.
Canandaigua Fire Chief Mark Marentette said a contractor was working with asphalt at the former drug store at 401 S. Main St., which is being renovated into medical offices, when the worker hit the gas pipe. The abandoned pipe, installed in the 1950s, feeds the main line running north and south, Marentette said.
The incident prompted the evacuation of eight people from three buildings along South Main and shut down all four lanes from about 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The buildings evacuated were a nail salon south of the former drug store, a duplex that shares the same driveway, and Tilton Realty at 437 S. Main, that also houses apartments.
Marentette said a check of the area found no danger of explosions from natural gas.
Firefighters were at the scene to secure the area and protect the crews from New York State Electric and Gas who had to go into the hole to fix the pipe, he said.
A similar incident a few years ago involved the main gas line being broken that runs north and south. "We were concerned that he had hit the same pipe and that would have been a much bigger deal," Marentette said.

Topic: Ideas for next years Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month
Cant start too early....
I was trying to find the weather forecast and the site I went to had webcams around the city. While I was showering (that is where I do most of my cc thinking) I thought it would be an interesting idea to have a specific date and time where people around the world held signs infront of the public webcams to raise awareness of cc. I bet it has never been done before, so I think we could even apply for a world record for it...which would mean that in every city someone participated in, the local paper could write a story about "local cancer patient earns world record". Anyway....just a thought.
Then I thought about people who have ebay accounts could auction something on the site with the money going to the foundation.
Dont know if these are good ideas or not. I will let you know if I get any more inspiration in the shower.
