MORGANTOWN-Jerry West, the greatest basketball player West Virginia University ever had, recalled recently that the NCAA allowed colleges to pay athletes in the 1950s $15 a month.
"That was for laundry and maybe the cost of a haircut," the 75-year-old legend said. "It was really laughable."
West, who still is the Mountaineers' No. 1 scorer and rebounder in school history, was asked whether he thinks college athletes should be paid a specified sum of money to go with their scholarships.

"If you see the enormous amount of money that today's athletes are bringing into the schools because of their athletic programs, there would be two sides to that. Getting an education is very important," he said.
"But a lot of this is starting to fall into something greater because of the huge efforts to play sports, especially at the universities."
He thinks they're doing it to not only produce the best football players that they can, but more importantly to build a better program.
"That would obviously command them more money and the conferences to command more money in terms of TV revenue and cable revenue," the Kanawha County native continued.
"The NCAA has critical powers, and they have served their purpose to some degree. But I also think they need to reexamine when the kids go through school."
He recalled that athletes could get summer jobs when he was at WVU (1958-60). But that's not possible today as football and basketball players work out year-round, with or without coaching.
"They train all year long because of the facilities they have and the recognition they can get," West said.
"The enormous amount of pride when you have an athletic team that people in the state follow and people all over the country follow, it's important to universities even more if you see the endorsements of some of these schools."
While in times past enormous amounts of money were donated to Ivy League and other institutions for academics, West pointed out that now you see schools securing sports an enormous amount of money being contributed because of the success of their athletic programs.
"It's not the educators doing that," West stressed. "It's the athletic programs doing that. It's the importance of their leadership throughout America.
"I don't see why they shouldn't consider it (paying athletes) myself."
He did not say how much the NCAA should allow, dollar-wise.

BLOOMVILLE - A finance committee report spurred discussion on the personnel policy manual at Wednesday's Bloomville Council meeting.
The committee met after the Feb. 6 council meeting, and at this week's meeting offered "suggestions," including no raises for the police department and assistant clerk/treasurer; $0.25 per hour increase for water/wastewater and street superintendents; $2,000 annual increase for clerk/treasurer. Another suggestion was to allow a greater percentage of wages for the clerk/treasurer and assistant to be paid from the water and sewer funds. Councilwoman Carol Adams said these were suggestions, not guidance.
A recommendation was made to review the personnel policy manual and consider annual employee reviews.
Adams asked about resurrecting the personnel committee, which hasn't been active in some time.
"The personnel manual needs to be updated, we haven't done anything with it for so long," she said.
Mayor Bob George agreed. Adams said if the manual is not necessary, "let's get rid of it."
Village Solicitor Tim Hoover cautioned the idea, saying the village needed it.
"It's a good idea to look at it to make sure we are fully compliant with the law," Hoover said.
Clerk/treasurer Janis Weasner suggested council review the document over several meetings.
George reported Police Chief Howard Minzer and he are to attend a communications meeting March 11 at Buckeye Central High School regarding a mentoring program. George also will represent Bloomville Lions Club. George reported on a meeting at Republic with other local officials and State Rep. Rex Damschroder, R-Fremont, as guest speaker.
Street superintendent Rick Dentinger reported the cost of rebuilding a large pool motor versus purchasing new, with nearly $1,700 difference in price. Having to purchase chemical pumps in the near future, council agreed on the rebuild at $2,695, which includes a one-year warranty. Council also approved a request from Dentinger to purchase certain tools and shop supplies.
Water/wastewater superintendent Darin Brown visited a local nursing home after a phone call regarding a trash complaint. Brown found the nursing home in full compliance with village regulations.
Hoover reported he received a document from the state attorney general's office certifying his attendance at public records training. He added the next training session will be at the end of March in Lima. The state auditor's and secretary of state's office sponsors the training session which generally last a few hours.
Weasner briefly discussed the annual financial report which had been distributed to council. She said most of the General Fund is comprised of property taxes or from the state, and state funding reductions are to make a large impact on the General Fund. A short discussion was held regarding the possibility of customers paying utility bills electronically.
Council went into executive session at 7:30 to discuss personnel issues with any action to be taken at the next council meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. March 7 at the village utility office.

Curious residents filled the Hubbard Library March 5, carrying with them items ranging from pottery and paintings to jewelry and toys, and everything in between.
About 80 antique enthusiasts showed up as the library hosted a free appraisal event with guest specialists from Youngstown's Byce Auction and Realty.
"We do sort of a community outreach where, because of the area of the country that we are in, there are a lot of older items that come out of the woodwork," appraiser Jeff Byce said. "As part of the outreach, we like to hold the appraisal fairs and shows. We've done several of these in the area.

Steve McMillen, right, prepares to appraise a decanter owned by Sue Lambert at an event held March 5 at the Hubbard Public Library. According to expert Jeff Byce, not pictured, the decanter may be pre-Columbian, and he estimates it may draw "well over four figures."
"The turnout has been absolutely fantastic and the library has been accommodating."
One of the attendees receiving some surprisingly good news was Hubbard resident Sue Lambert, who thought she owned a piece of Native American pottery. It turns out the piece may be much older than she imagined.
"They are saying it is pre-Columbian," Lambert said. "I'm not interested in selling anything, but they are trying to figure out the value of it. They are calling an expert to talk to him about it."
Byce noted further investigation is required on the item, which is a circular decanter with an arched handle.
"I don't want to speculate too much," Byce said. "I have a feeling that it's going to be well over four figures."
Chris Contestabile of Vienna waited patiently for his turn, bringing with him an old cap gun with a locomotive spring.
"My father had it in his possession and I saw it in a book one time, but I don't remember what they said the value was," Contestabile said. "I just want to find out what it is worth, not to sell it, but just for my own personal knowledge."
Meanwhile, Angie Lewis of Hubbard was also hopeful, as she lined up to have her antique rocking duck appraised. She said the item had been in the family for generations.
"It was used, so I know it is over 64 years old," Lewis said. "My great-aunt gave it to me and I really don't know a lot about it. I used it, my boys used it and the kids that came to our house used it. I've had it on display all these years. It has the original paint and I've never seen another one like it."
Event organizer Sandy Walter explained the turnout was much bigger than she imagined. "We had about 65 items. That's a great response," she said.
According to Walter, who is the adult services librarian, events like these are a good way to re-introduce the community and the library.

Office Depot is moving into a smaller, new-format store in North Buffalo, an approach the chain is adopting around the country in a bid to draw more customers.
The new store opens today on Delaware Avenue just north of Hertel Avenue, in a former Blockbuster Video location. Office Depot relocated from its longtime home on Elmwood Avenue in North Buffalo.
The new store has about 7,000 square feet, about a quarter the size of its previous location. More than 100 of the small-format stores are expected to open within the next year; Buffalo's is part of the first wave.
Along with a smaller size, the Delaware Avenue store features a new design, with large etched glass windows and colorful accent lighting. The format and appearance are aimed at giving the chain's existing customers changes they have asked for, as well as attracting new customers, said Tom Shea, district manager for the chain's New York region.
The store will have nearly the same number of employees – about 20 – as the Elmwood store did and will stock about 4,800 products, compared with 6,700 previously. The store is scaling back on products such as office furniture and some fringe items that were not popular, Shea said.
Electronic devices, such as computers, tablets and smartphones, and accessories are now showcased at the front of the store. Services such as personal-computer troubleshooting, copying and security software installation are set up in the center. There will be "PC Bars" at the entryway, where customers can relax, check their email or charge tablets or smartphones.
Office Depot's lease at the Elmwood Avenue location was up, and the chain preferred the smaller, high-visibility space at Delaware and Hertel, Shea said. The Elmwood Avenue store was about 15 years old.
Arun Jain, a retail expert at the University at Buffalo School of Management, said he was skeptical Office Depot's changes would succeed. "They're in a very difficult spot," he said. "Everybody is eating at their meals."
For instance, he said, Walmart, supermarkets and drugstore chains carry many of the "back-to-school" supplies that office-supply stores stock. And retailers such as Best Buy and online businesses compete for sales of electronic devices. Within its own category, Office Depot has tough rivals such as Staples and Office Max.
Moving into a smaller space will make its stores more convenient to shop, Jain said. But, he said, the bigger question is how the chain will attract customers in a crowded field: "What will distinguish them from everybody else?"
"It has to start with the [employees]," Shea said. "It comes down to us to set the tone that we're going to be the best of the best when it comes to customer service."
Office Depot's customer base is a mix of small-business owners, people with home offices and everyday consumers, he said.
Jain said switching to a smaller format comes with a risk: If customers are disappointed with the reduced selection, they might go elsewhere. But Shea said if customers can't find something they want at the new Buffalo store, Office Depot can draw from its two other area stores or arrange a purchase through the chain's website.
Not all Office Depot stores are adopting the small-store format; some are shifting to a mid-size format. For instance, Office Depot's two other Buffalo Niagara stores are expected to be remodeled in 2013, and while their square footage may be reduced, they will not shrink to the size of the new Buffalo store, Shea said.
Florida-based Office Depot reported a $70 million loss in its third quarter, and a 5 percent drop in sales from a year ago, to $2.7 billion. The chain has reviewed all of its North American stores to decide whether to downsize, relocate, remodel or close them.
The company's stock closed up 5 cents Tuesday, at $3.54.

Barnacle Boy
on ESB
This article is in need of cleanup in order to comply with Encyclopedia SpongeBobia's Manual of Style. Please help this Wiki by making this article clean and tidy!
Barnacle Boy[1] is the sidekick of Mermaid Man. He, along with Mermaid Man, are superheroes and are both parodies of both Aqualad and Robin. Barnacle Boy was said to be 68 years old as revealed in the episode, "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V." He first appeared in the episode, "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy".
Early life
Barnacle Boy is thin, bald, has a very large nose (similar to and bigger than Squidward's), has puffy ears, a sailor hat, a black mask and a turquoise neckerchief. He also wears dark blue rubber gloves, boots, a red T-shirt, and rubber black shorts. Being younger, he is more sane and self-aware than Mermaid Man. However, Barnacle Boy is also more cranky and rude. He often calls Mermaid Man an "old coot". He is revealed to be 68 years old in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V." As his younger self, instead of a black mask, he wears glasses and is much taller. Also, as younger self, his neckerchief is space-control.
Barnacle Boy possesses powers similar to Mermaid Man, though he lacks the belt powers. Barnacle Boy also has "Sulfur Vision" (a form of Heat Vision), which Mermaid Man has never been shown to have. Like Mermaid Man, his powers do not work as well as they used to, mostly due to old age.
Despite being a senior citizen, Barnacle Boy is still treated like a child by his mentor, much to his disdain. In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V," when Mermaid Man orders a Pipsqueak Patty (a very small version of a Krabby Patty, intended for children) for Barnacle Boy at the Krusty Krab, they get into an argument which ultimately results in Barnacle Boy becoming a villain and forming a group called "E.V.I.L." (Every Villain Is Lemons) with Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble. After a protracted fight with Mermaid Man and the "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances (whose costumes and powers are assumed by the main characters of the show), which E.V.I.L. actually wins, he and Mermaid Man patch things up. Barnacle Man, as he likes to be called, gets a little more respect now (even though he mentions that an adult-sized Krabby Patty actually is too big for him).
In the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom, it is revealed that Barnacle Boy has a son, a daughter-in-law, and four "screaming" grandchildren.
- Barnacle Boy has a bad case of dandruff.
- Barnacle Boy seems to enjoy eating Meatloaf, as revealed in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II."
- Barnacle Boy is retired, but still fights crime.
- Barnacle Boy is tired of everybody calling him a boy.
- He has hair growing out the wrinkles on his liver spots.
- Barnacle Boy is taller and narrower than Mermaid Man, and is shaped like a sausage.
- Barnacle Boy had became a superhero during the 1960s-like era.
- Barnacle Boy has a case of cauliflower ear, in which the ear becomes swollen and deformed. This condition is commonly seen in elderly people.
- His voice actor, Tim Conway, portrayed the character of Dorf.
- Interestingly, there was a Dorf episode where he plays bingo, and in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture," the two heroes are playing bingo (though Mermaid Man gets it wrong by shouting "Bonko!" instead of "Bingo!," much to Barnacle Boy's annoyance).
- Just like Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy's real name is Tim, which is actually the name of his voice actor, Tim Conway.
- "I'm tired of playing second banana to a man who wears a bra!" (to everyone in the Krusty Krab)
- "I'm 68 years old and I want a Krabby Patty!" (to Mermaid Man)
- "Listen Big Nose, that guy has been saving your butt since before you were born. Don't you got a 'Living Legend Discount' or something?" (to Squidward)
- "You don't even remember breakfast, you old coot." (to Mermaid Man)
- "I'm crossing over to the dark side."
- "Hey, who are those guys?" (first lines)
- "Feed this old man."
- ""You old coot!" (catchphrase)
- "This thing is a little big."
- "We did it, you old coot."
- "I want an adult sized Krabby Patty."

NEW CUMBERLAND-One of Hancock County's longest-serving lawmen is retiring, adding to the changes already under way at the Hancock County Sheriff's Department.
Chief Deputy Todd Murray, Sheriff Mike White's right-hand man for eight years, said his retirement will be effective Monday. "It's bittersweet when you're a law officer," he said, "but there is life after law enforcement. You have to make that transition. Now's my time."
Murray, 52, of Chester, said he's been contemplating retirement for awhile but was awaiting word from incoming Sheriff Ralph Fletcher whether he would be retained as chief deputy or asked to serve in another capacity. Fletcher, elected Nov. 6 to succeed White as sheriff, has been interviewing candidates for the chief deputy position and is expected to announce his choice next week.
Murray also was awaiting approval from Hancock County commissioners of his request for payment for 30 accrued vacation days and 285 days of accrued sick leave. Commissioners approved his request on Wednesday, meaning he will receive $58,665.60 in compensation for the unused days.
Commissioners also approved a request by Fletcher to be paid $1,800 for vacation days accrued while working for the Hancock County Prosecutor's Office, Commissioner Jeff Davis said.
Murray's request had been tabled from the Dec. 20 commissioners' meeting because there was a question about which sick leave policy he was hired under.
Murray came to the sheriff's department from the private sector, starting as a deputy in 1993 under Sheriff Warren Watkins. He also served under Sheriff Jeff Woofter and Sheriff White, who hired him as chief deputy in 2004.
Along the way, Murray worked as a sheriff's detective, an officer on the Hancock-Brooke-Weirton Drug Task Force and a deputized Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
"I've enjoyed my time here under the sheriffs I've worked for," he said. "I've enjoyed serving the citizens of Hancock County. Sheriff White and I always worked toward maintaining a safe community."
White is leaving the sheriff's department on Tuesday to become the newest Hancock County magistrate-an office to which he was elected on Nov. 6. White was ineligible to run for re-election because of term limits in West Virginia.
In addition to law enforcement, Murray has been active with the Chester Volunteer Fire Department, where he currently serves as assistant chief to Chief John Hissam. Murray has been with the fire department since 1980.
"I still will be involved with the community," he said.
Murray can retire now that his age and years of service add up to or exceed the number 70, as is required by West Virginia law.

Maui Memorial Park is planning to rebuild 153 feet of wall within the next three to four weeks, cemetery officials said this week.
Two weeks ago, a portion of the wall collapsed parallel to Wai'inu Road, which was closed for about six hours while workers cleared debris and shored up the remaining wall. No injuries were reported.
This week, Maui Memorial Park Director of Operations Steven Hawley said the original walls, which were built with river rock and concrete, had a unique but outdated double-wall design.

"The way they did it was they built a lower wall and built another wall on top of it," Hawley said. "What I was told by the (construction company) is that it's not really stable because the dirt pushes on it."
The repaired walls will be built in the same fashion as the walls rebuilt in 2004, after a wall collapse then, Hawley said. The estimated cost of construction is around $250,000.
"The new walls will have an enhanced footing," he said. "So it'll have an 18-foot footing that comes out, and the wall is built so the strength is in that footing."

Maui Memorial Park workers Howard Joaquin (from left), George Palau and Chris Dearborn oversee the removal of concrete vaults on Tuesday. The vaults needed to be cleared in order to start work on a reconstructed 153-foot wall along Wai'inu Road. Cemetery officials said the vaults will be returned to their respective spots.

The Maui Police Department and construction crews from TJ Gomes Trucking were on-site at 8 a.m. Tuesday, with workers removing the concrete vaults that were exposed during the collapse on Dec. 28. The vaults were temporarily removed to begin construction of the new walls.
"We're grateful that the families were very forgiving," said General Manager Pat Puana. "They put no fault on us, and we have great families here."
Hawley and Puana said the vaults will be placed back in their respective spots as soon as possible.

Cemetery officials didn't know why a portion of the wall collapsed last month, but Puana speculated it could have been the result of decades of wear and tear. The structure was originally built in the 1960s, or before many of the building codes required for modern buildings.
"Back in the '60s, I don't know what the (building) coding was," she said. "But I'm sure it was very lenient."
Also, vibrations from the steady increase of traffic along Wai'inu Road could be a factor, she said.
"It was never like that before," Puana said. "But now you have the subdivisions, and it's like a thoroughfare; everybody uses it."
During the construction, county inspectors will monitor the operation daily, which includes the testing of concrete and rebar, as well as ensuring the construction is in compliance with building codes and regulations, Hawley and Puana said.
"Everybody is working together," Puana said. "The county understands this is an emergency request. Our contractor knows this is an emergency request. So everybody is working together."

Yeah, you've been inundated with pre-draft analysis, so much so that I'm sure you're sick of it.
Well, too bad, because we're T-minus three weeks and counting until the big event and the prognostications and predictions are only going to get worse. That means more mocks, greater speculation and even more conflicting reports.
But, hey, we live for this stuff, right? At least that's what Google's search rankings would have you believe.
Today we cover the AFC, where a handful of squads in desperate—no, make that excruciating—need of a quarterback line the first 10 picks.
Are the Broncos really considering trading down? If so, will the Titans step up to fill the void? Will the Bills go offense or defense with the third pick? And to what extent will Carolina's move atop the draft boards affect how AFC teams proceed with their original blueprints?
Of course, the answers we give to these questions today could all be different by the time the calendar flips to tomorrow, but let's give it a shot anyhow.
Let's take a look at the latest news, rumors and needs concerning AFC team as we inch closer and closer to that special day on April 28.

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS - Speaking at the Crain Cleveland Shale Summit 2013 last Tuesday, Larry Kosiba, the executive director of the Sustainable Opportunity Development Center in Salem, got a chance to tell people outside this area how the shale boom was changing things.
Called "Ohio & Shale: Getting it Right" the day-long conference attracted a "sold out" crowd of 600 that brought together people representing industry and civic interests in the shale boom.
The keynote speaker was former Shell Oil Company President John Hofmeister, who is also the founder and chief executive of Citizens for Affordable Energy.
Kosiba's talked about how the shale boom was affecting Salem and Columbiana County with one hard-to-ignore consequence being that Salem now has no less that four hotel developers interested in it, along with the Timberlanes' renovation.
Not only will lodging be an issue, but so will housing, Kosiba said Monday, following up on last week's conference. While five hotels, including Timberlanes, may be useful and even needed, Kosiba is concerned about long-term sustainability and guiding the city through what could be explosive growth in a "smart" way.
He calls it the "pace" of development and the decisions made will have ramifications stretching years ahead.
Salem could maybe support five hotels for "how long?' he asks. Our role is looking after sustainability, he said adding three or four empty buildings does no one any good.
"We need to look at it from sustainability," he said, "developers need to do their homework ... there will be winners and losers ... it will be great for the building trades ... but how long will they be here?"
He said developers should also consider exit strategies.
Aside from the competition, hype and broad range of considerations, Kosiba sees it as one step at time, but a quick step. He's seen enough of how the oil gas industry operates.
When the companies need it, they need it now. If the first call fails, they make the second and third until they get it.
It's immediate gratification in the extreme: "I want it all and I want it right now."
Kosiba recognizes that.
"We need to start preparing and get out in front of this stuff or we're going to get overrun," he said, noting infrastructure for transportation, both primary and secondary roads, will need extra maintenance.
He also pointed out that the area lacks rail support, which is necessary to bring in the sands and water for drilling wells.
Communities will see a crunch in lodging and local businesses will see undergraduate management and skilled trades raided as the shale boom tightens its grip.
Kosiba wonders and then worries about those talent pools, noting local companies will need to find ways to attract people siphoned off by the boom.
"Getting them here is the hard part," he said, adding there will be a significant void for undergrads.
Kosiba tries to overlook the hype, but that's almost impossible. There's a lot of it now and a lot is happening that people can't see.
Kosiba told the shale summit, "What we're seeing is a lot of our landowners and property owners are hearing about other areas where there is maybe more activity and wondering why it hasn't filtered into our area."
But it has, he said noting that "what Salem needs to understand is there's maybe a hundreds of Salems up and down and if they don't get it here, they'll go to the next that will accommodate them."
Getting there, to get to that receptive economic environment, Kosiba suggests "getting it smart ... we have to do some planning ... define places for housing."
He stresses the need for housing will rise and "as one developer comes in and is challenged, others will see that ... housing, housing, the needs will be tremendous ... again, it should be done in a planned manner."
As far as wondering why "more activity hasn't filtered into out area," Kosiba said, "the pace is something that people will have to adjust to ... we can either embrace it or watch this go to other communities."

A verbal argument seems to have escalated throughout the day, eventually resulting in one Williamsport woman being taken into custody after allegedly threatening to commit murder.
Laurie Alice Mistretta, 47, of 617 Sixth Ave., faces one misdemeanor charge of terroristic threat.
According to court records, at about 8 p.m. Dec. 16, city police were called to Mistretta's residence to respond to an ongoing domestic dispute. Officers had already been to the home once before on the same day.
Upon arriving the second time, officers paused at the front door. According to the affidavit, they could hear Mistretta inside, saying, "and I know where you keep the bullets, too."
Alleged victim Corey Falk, Sr. met with police on the porch. He explained that Mistretta had threatened to kill him in his sleep and had threatened to shoot or stab him, according to court records.
"She went on to tell him that she knows where he keeps his guns, the bullets, and his knives," officers wrote in the affidavit.
Falk told police that he was in fear for his life, and believed that Mistretta would act on her threats, according to police.
Falk then showed officers multiple handguns, bullets, and knives which he owns.
"Mistretta could have had the means to carry out the threats if she was not stopped," officers said in the affidavit.
Mistretta was taken into custody without incident. However, as she was being transported to police headquarters, officers allegedly heard her repeatedly muttering: "He's got one coming; he's got one coming," according to court records.
Mistretta was arraigned before District Judge Jerry C. Lepley on Dec. 18. She has since been released on $3,500 bail.

For Todd Edmond, teaching was always something that came naturally.
Having taught history at Columbian High School for 19 years, Edmond has always wanted to find new and interesting ways to present material. Becasue of his experience and that desire to think outside the box, Edmond was selected as one of the teachers who will participate in the 2013 Teacher Fellow Program at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich.
While the program has only been around since 2009, the museum itself has been a part of Edmond's life since he was 8 years old, and is one of the main reasons he became a teacher.
Seeing the chair that President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in, Edmond said, was the moment that changed everything.
"That was the moment that completely made history real. It was the moment that changed everything, he was not just a cartoon or the guy on the $5 bill," he said.
Only 12 teachers were chosen for the program. Edmond and others had to go through a competitive application process.
"The wait was the worst part," He said, adding that he completed his application and essay by the end of October.
"Once I found out, I wouldn't say I screamed, but my wife told me that the kids were asleep. I am so pumped to get this opportunity. I've had fantasies about what I would be able to handle," Edmond said.
The program uses immersion learning where teachers get to take site visits, tours with the curators and historians, have brainstorming sessions, dialogues and debates. Edmond also can take the resources from the Henry Ford museum and incorporate them in the classroom.
There are several benefits that the program offers in addition to the hands-on experiences - teachers get a $500 honorarium, a one free field trip for a class of 30 students, and a free one-year family membership to The Henry Ford Museum.
"I have always wanted to take kids up to the museum, and now I get that chance," he said.
The program runs through May, and Edmond said he plans to take his AP U.S History class next year.
Edmond graduated from Columbian High School in 1989. From there he went on to the University of Toledo and Heidelberg University, earning a degree in history.
Edmond said he was inspired to become a teacher in Bob Hall's seventh grade class.
"Hall taught history in a way I have never seen before," Edmond said.
He also took inspiration from his father, Dick.
"He was outgoing, and very social," he said. "I was never afraid to talk or work with people in groups."
Both of his brothers also are teachers. Tim is an English teacher and Ted is a physical education teacher.
"We never sat down and discussed becoming teachers. It just happened," Edmond said.
Edmond describes his process as a passion for people and not teaching just dead people and dates.
"It is more behind the emotion and reactions that the people had at that time," he said. "It is about real people with real emotions. It is not just about the facts. It is about how the facts make people feel. If you can't answer how something would make you feel then you haven't learned (anything)."
The Kennedy assassination is his favorite topic to teach.
"It is the one event that changed everything. It changed how people trust the government and it changed how we see America today," Edmond said. "It is fun to talk about all the conspiracy theories. Most people do not want to accept that Kennedy was just shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. They believe that he was a bigger person so it had to be something bigger."
Edmond also teaches at Heidelberg and Tiffin universities. He also contributed to two text books on how to teach social studies. One, he co-authored with Judith Jackson-May, a professor from Bowling Green University, called "Chalk Talk." The other book, Edmond authored is "Methods to the Madness."
Much in the same way that the program takes him to a familiar location in the Henry Ford Museum, the classroom Edmond teaches in is the very room where everything started.
"This room was the room that I first fell in love with history in, it was the same room I did my student teaching in and now it has been my room for the past 19 years," he said.

Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.
quote: The next step was to halt the reaction by cooling the power rods, composed of uranium-235.
quote: This reactor is NOT still running. The control rods did fully insert. But - since it was running at full power and had been for weeks or months, there is a lot of residual heat from nuclear decay that remains for hours and days. That is the heat that must be removed to avoid melting the fuel pellets.

Kanalley, who played basketball at Cardinal O'Hara, grew up in an athletic family in the City of Tonawanda. His sister, Melissa, scored 1,355 points at O'Hara, which was a school record when she graduated in 2006. She went on to play college ball at St. John Fisher and D'Youville. Their dad, Pat, coached both of them at various times and is now the JV basketball coach at Mount St. Mary Academy.
Craig Kanalley, 27, also attended St. John Fisher, with a slightly ulterior motive.
"One of the reasons I went to St. John Fisher was actually because the Bills' training camp was there," Kanalley said by phone last week from his apartment in Brooklyn. "It really did factor into my decision, which is sometimes funny to say. I knew there could be opportunities to ... even just to stay in the dorms that they stay in. That was kind of cool. Sometimes the Bills players would leave little notes and things for the students. That never happened to me, but you never know."
Kanalley was sports editor of St. John Fisher's student newspaper for one year. He also had various stints covering high school and college sports for the Bee newspapers, the Tonawanda News and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. When he decided to apply to graduate school, again it was his love of sports that helped guide his decision.
"I went to graduate school in Chicago at DePaul University, for online journalism," he said. "I went to Chicago partly because it was a big sports town. And it was funny because Patrick Kane had just gone there, so that was kind of cool."
While at DePaul, Kanalley became interested in Twitter, which was just starting to take off. Through Twitter he found a website in Chicago called the Windy Citizen, which was run by journalism students at Northwestern University. He wrote to the site's editors and they offered him an internship, part of which involved writing a blog about the Chicago Blackhawks.
"They gave me complete freedom," Kanalley recalled. "They said, 'We just want you to learn the Web and Web journalism, [search engine optimization], tweaking headlines and writing live blogs. I would do live blogs during the games. Yeah, it was really fun."
Kanalley soon got the idea for starting a blog of his own. It was not about sports, but it would prove to be a game changer in his career.
The blog was called Breaking Tweets. It focused on the way that breaking news stories were covered, analyzed and reacted to on Twitter.
"I did it like seven days a week," he said. "I was obsessed with it. I had to get up at least three posts a day. And I really pushed myself. I told myself there's going to be something good coming out of this. And the site's traffic kept growing."
The Poynter Institute, a journalism school, took notice of Kanalley's site and published a feature story about it. CNN and other media outlets soon did the same.
"It was a really cool experience, but it wasn't making any money for me," he said. "I tried to put up like Google ads, but they make like pennies, a couple of dollars a month. …
When it was time to graduate from DePaul, Kanalley said he faced a bit of a professional crisis.
"I wanted to keep Breaking Tweets going but it wasn't making money. I really didn't know what to do."
A conversation with an entrepreneur that he knew convinced Kanalley to persevere.
"He said to me, 'Who are the news organizations you respect the most?' He said you should write to them and see if they want to do a partnership and help you reach a larger audience. ... I started writing like blind emails to places. And one of them I wrote was to Arianna Huffington – I Googled her email address. I couldn't believe when she responded. She CC'd the CEO of Huffington Post and said let's set up a call.
"So I told them about the site and they were really impressed. They said, 'We want to do more with Twitter at the Huffington Post.' And they said, 'How would you like to come to New York?' I was like, what are you talking about? They offered me a job like on the spot."
Kanalley's first email to Huffington, the publisher of Huffington Post, was sent on Sept. 28, 2009. In November of that year he started working for them remotely, then he moved to New York on Dec. 1.
"The funny thing is, I was not looking for a job. I was looking for a partnership with my site or a way to grow its audience with HuffPost, perhaps."
His first job there involved covering social media.
"I would monitor the Web for what's trending and what conversation is about on the Web. I would really provide context as to why something was a big topic in the news."
In the past year his title became "senior editor for big news and live events." He also writes a blog for the site about social media.
Being at the center of breaking news events is the fuel that drives many journalists, along with coffee, of course.
"The most exciting night working at the Huffington Post is always election night," Kanalley said. "We have a tradition where some of our editors go down to D.C. that night, and I was lucky enough to do so in 2010 and 2012. I helped with our live blog both nights."
A major news story that stands out for Kanalley is the rescue of 33 miners who were trapped underground in Chile in October 2010.
"I started and operated our live blog in marathon fashion for nearly 24 hours, with colleagues sending me updates. I couldn't have done it without the larger team in our newsroom and their support. It was incredible, for instance, to be in contact with one of our tech developers in Chile who helped us translate and share local news coverage that I was able to incorporate in the live blog.
"The great thing about this story is it had a happy ending, which we don't see enough in news – all 33 miners were successfully rescued."

LAKE TAHOE — Michael the Dog was rescued twice. He was found in Reno, dragging his chain down the street. He was scheduled for euthanasia, July 3, 2006, when Karen De Souza of the Reno Animal Control sent out an urgent request to local rescue groups.Fortunately, Nanette Cronk at the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe responded and she picked him up the day he was to be put down.Michelle Okashima, animal lover and Scraps Dog Bakery employee, met Mike at an adoption fair."I wasn't looking for a new fur kid, honestly, but when I saw Mike get out of a HSTT volunteer's car and prance about the parking lot, in what I now call his happy dance, well … my heart melted and we have been together ever since," she said.Okashima started training Mike for obedience competition and obtained an I.L.P., which is granted by the American Kennel Club to pure-breed dogs of unknown lineage, allowing them to enter into performance sports.She noticed a slight deficit, but did not think much about it, as dogs learn at different rates. One day she arrived home with a big load of groceries, then tripped with cans and goods spilling to the floor with a tremendous crash. Okashima went to check on Mike in his crate, and found him sound asleep, unaware of the kitchen catastrophe. She shouted his name about 6 feet from him — to no effect. A trip to the vet confirmed Mike suffers from central brain deafness, which disqualifies him from competition.Okashima continued to train Mike and discovered his purpose. In 2008, Mike became a certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Inc., and joined a chapter in Reno called Paws for Love. Mike visits hospitals, extended care facilities, schools, and has worked with at-risk youth programs. He has raised money to help "wayward bully breeds," aiding Girley, an American pitbull terrier and service dog, get back to her owner, a veteran.Mike is currently raising money for cancer research and will walk in the Relay for Life with other Bark for Life pet teams. Okashima was proud when HSTT honored Mike at the 2010 Black Tie and Tails event for his work in the community. He has also been nominated three times for an A.K.C. Humane Fund ACE award for canine excellence for his therapy dog work. This year, Mike is one of two dogs chosen to play Crab the Dog in the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival's "Two Gentlemen of Verona" at Sand Harbor, out of 11 dogs that auditioned.For information about the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, visit www.laketahoeshakespeare.com.
The Sierra Sun caught up with Michelle and Mike to check on how his life as an actor is proceeding.Sun: What do you think about Mike working as an actor?Michelle: W.C. Fields was credited with the quote, "Never work with children or animals." Thank goodness nobody had the audacity to utter this before Shakespeare wrote "Two Gentleman of Verona." Sun: How does it feel to be the proud mom of an actor child?Michelle: I am pleased that Michael (Mike) was one of the two dogs chosen to play the role of Crab the Dog in "Two Gentlemen of Verona." This is a tremendous opportunity for Mike and I am grateful to Charles Fee and Bob Taylor for looking past his breed type as well as his hearing impairment and casting him. Of course, I have always thought Michael to be exceptional, but as all "pit bull" owners know, you are subject to more rejections than you are anything else. That rejection makes this one acceptance feel so epic. The time we have spent with the 2012 Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Acting Company has been such a lovely experience. Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive. Stage Manager Tim Kinzel takes time out of his busy schedule to personally set up Mike's crate before we arrive to ensure Mike's comfort. When I thanked him for his efforts he simply said, "That's what were here for Michelle, to make life easier for you." How do I feel? … I am elated. I am elated for Mike, for me, for "pit bulls" and for having an experience of a lifetime. Honestly, I have felt as though I have been floating for the past few weeks.Sun: Has fame noticeably changed Mike? Has he gotten a "big head?"Michelle: The "big head" question made me giggle. Literally, Mike has always had a big head. But on a more figurative note … stardom hasn't changed Mike a bit. Mike still wakes in the morning to a big bowl of kibble and a satisfying drink of Tahoe tap water. He still swims in the lake with his doggie friends and is happiest covered in dirt and mud. He goes to work every day and greets customers at the store (Scraps Dog Bakery in Kings Beach) and sleeps on the floor in the warm afternoon sun. We just happen to have changed our evening routine. Now, on some nights Mike goes to play with his new buddy Kevin Crouch, the actor who has the role of Launce, Crab's owner in the play. There is a great chemistry between Mike and Kevin that makes their stage time together electric and believable. If you believe that dogs experience emotion, as I do, I would have to say that Mike adores Kevin. Sun: Does Mike like getting dressed up?Michelle: Mike is a bit of a nudist naturally. His costume for the play is a 2-inch thick leather collar and a leash. Mike is not overly fond of the collar — it makes his neck itch and he is happy when it can be take it off. Sun: Does he plan furthering his acting career?Michelle: If all of the potential roles Mike could get would be as great of an experience as the LTSF, I would be happy to drive Mike to Timbuktu to further his career in acting. Mike does seem to enjoy being on the stage and as long as he is happy and willing to perform, we will continue to audition for parts.Sun: Is there anything Mike would like to add? "Mike:" May I have more treats please?Sun: Tell me about Bark for Life. Michelle: We will walk in the July 27 Bark for Life (The American Cancer Society Bark for Life is a fundraising event honoring canine caregivers) in Incline Village, before we leave for Mike's evening performance.

The purpose of the Emergency Response Plan is to establish the policy, procedure and organizational structure necessary to respond to, control and recover from emergency situations. The plan contains clear strategies and roles played by various departments during the initial response and throughout the emergency.
Providing a safe environment for employees to work and students to learn is a primary concern of the Saginaw Valley State University administration and campus community. Critical to providing a safe and healthy environment is being knowledgeable about what to do in the event of an emergency. The priorities of any emergency response are life safety, incident isolation, property protection, and the minimal interruption of business operations. Planning and being prepared is a shared responsibility.
This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is designed to establish a framework for Saginaw Valley State University to respond effectively and safely to an emergency. This includes assessing an emergency situation, coordinating a response effort, and most importantly, ensuring that individuals are informed, safely evacuated or sheltered, and accounted for with reasonable assurance. The plan, an all-hazards approach to emergency response, uses a conceptual and management structure that applies the same set of management arrangements to deal with all types of hazards. This approach focuses on the development of capacities and capabilities that are critical to preparedness for a full spectrum of man-made or natural disasters, regardless of the cause.
This plan incorporates regulatory requirements concerning the development and implementation of a campus emergency plan into one meaningful and usable document. This plan shall act as the Saginaw Valley State University contingency plan and is compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Although this emergency response planning document is comprehensive in nature, it is the policy of SVSU that no guarantee of a perfect response system is implied in this plan. As personnel and resources may be overwhelmed, SVSU can only endeavor to make every reasonable effort to respond based on the situation, resources, and information available at the time.
This action plan applies to all occupants of facilities and grounds on the main campus (7400 Bay Road) of Saginaw Valley State University.
Plan Review and Amendments
The Campus Emergency Response Plan will be periodically reviewed, maintained and updated by the Chief of University Police and the Environmental Health and Safety Director. The frequency of the plan review will be determined as follows:
The effectiveness of the plan will be reviewed following an emergency that requires implementing the plan. The University Police and the Environmental Health and Safety Department shall coordinate the review of the plan implementation following such an emergency. Other SVSU planning and response related documents and programs include the following:
Employees should check with their supervisor or department head for specific emergency planning and response documents or call lists developed for their area/department.

Altoona seniors Matt Dry and Brandon Lytle didn't seem to mind taking turns sharing the second-half spotlight Monday night at the AAHS Fieldhouse.
Lytle sparked a key third-quarter surge and then Dry buried nine fourth-quarter free throws to close the door on the Mountain Lions' 46-38 triumph over Central Mountain on senior night.
"They did a lot of things," Altoona coach Paul Hasson said of his two senior guards. "They not only scored, but had to defend [Central Mountain's] top scorers."
Lytle started to shift the game's momentum at the 4:55 mark of the third quarter when his aggressive driving layup cut the Central Mountain lead to 25-23. He hit a free throw a few seconds later and then scored Altoona's final five points of the quarter, including an off-balance 15-foot jumper at the buzzer, to give the Mountain Lions a 33-27 lead.
Dry, Altoona's 6-foot point guard, controlled the tempo the entire fourth quarter. He scored on a layup early in the quarter then connected on 9-of-12 free throws to seal the victory.
And with less than four minutes to go in the game and Altoona leading by eight (39-31), Dry quarterbacked a two-man weave with Lytle that milked almost a minute and a half off the clock to reduce the number of scoring chances for the Wildcats.
"Dry handled the ball very well," said Central Mountain coach Scott Baker, whose Wildcats fell to 13-6. "We were trying to keep the ball out of his hands. We wanted anybody but him [on the line]. In the second half he really handled the ball well and knocked down foul shots."
Lytle, who finished with a game-high 15 points, and Dry, who chipped in 13 points, also turned in solid performances on the defensive end.
Central Mountain's top scorers, guards Cole Renninger and Tyler Everhart, scored 28 and 13 points, respectively, in the first meeting between the two teams - a 57-56 win by the Wildcats just 10 days ago. Dry and Lytle clamped down on defense and held the duo to a combined six second-half points, including zero from Everhart.
"Last game Renninger had 28 points, so I knew I had to step up on defense," Lytle said.
That defense combined with the second-half scoring of Lytle and Dry made the difference.
"We lost a tough one down there and it felt really good to come back and get a win," said Hasson, whose team improved to 9-11 overall. "We made a few adjustments in the third quarter and hit some shots. In the last six or seven games we've been coming out strong in the third quarter and that really propelled us the rest of the way tonight."
Altoona ran out to a 7-2 lead to start the game, capped by a Kevin Givens layup midway through the first quarter. Central Mountain rattled off 12 straight points for a 14-7 advantage before a Tony Acrie jumper, and more buzzer-beater heroics from Lytle, a 3-pointer to end the quarter, sliced the Central Mountain lead to two, 14-12.
Renninger's floater in the lane gave the Wildcats a 25-21 edge early in the third quarter. The Mountain Lions responded by scoring the next 10 points, capped by a free throw from Lytle, to seize a 31-25 advantage, and then ended the quarter with Lytle's jumper and a 33-27 lead.
"I wasn't forcing anything and just finished when I got to the hoop," Lytle said.
Altoona junior forward Manny Span and Givens, a sophomore, flexed their muscles in the paint. Span finished with 10 points and 19 rebounds, while Givens chipped in 11 rebounds for the Mountain Lions.
Renninger led Central Mountain with 15 points and Von Walker added 11 rebounds.
Altoona senior guard DeShae Lee, who is the team's leading scorer at 18 points per game, has a broken left hand - his shooting hand - and did not dress for the game. He is out for the year, according to Hasson.
Game notes: Altoona senior players Dry, Lytle, Lee, Jeff Hancock and Jabril Hill were honored before the game along with three-year manager Tyler Martynuska Altoona and Central Mountain are both in the hunt for spots in the District 6-AAAA playoffs in a few weeks On Thursday, Altoona hosts Bishop Guilfoyle and Central Mountain travels to Bellefonte.

Nancy also was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Terry Kirchner; and one brother.
Nancy enjoyed spending quality time with her grandchildren, walking the beach at Galveston Island, and her "get togethers" with her friends at Sweeny House.

This week on Bill Green's Maine, we'll be in Maine's back country for the "Untamed New England 200 Mile Adventure Race." We'll meet Bucksport native Andy Silvernail who Forbes dot com called America's fourth most powerful CEO under 40. And we'll cruise Moosehead Lake on the Steamer Katahdin.

Show #274 (Tying Donna Reed and Perry Mason!)
Oh, I'm trying to enjoy this summer! It's been a great stretch of weather. I hope you're enjoying it too. It's been a great summer for personal fitness. The ultra-athletes came to Maine for an adventure race. One of the first adventure races ever held was in Maine over this same country. The Untamed New England 200 Mile Adventure Race covered some of Maine's most beautiful and most rugged back country. The winning team took three days!
Our interview this week is with Andrew Silvernail. Andrew is the very definition of the self-made man. If you ever feel like you can't do it, consider the story of Andrew and try again. He's a great guy and I really enjoyed meeting him and his wife Shelby. They are a great couple and I wish them all the best. By the way, I made a mistake in this story. I talk about his company IDEX. It is a Chicago-based manufacturer and marketer of specialty engineering products that operates all over the world. It is not eh same company as IDEXX which is a diagnostics and global technology solutions company based in Westbrook. I had made note of the difference in my original introduction which I eventually changed and may have left some audience members in the dark. Here's more information about IDEX.
The archive story is about Winter Moths another invasive that has come our way. We all must be aware of all invasives when we travel.
And finally, the steamer Katahdin, which is no longer a steamer. Still, she's a valued and precious part of Moosehead Lake and wonderful way to while away an afternoon. Just like the best way to see the Maine coast is from a boat, the best way to see Moosehead is from the Kate!

After receiving complaints, city government issued a reminder Friday that commercial establishments and residents are supposed to clear snow from sidewalks after a storm.
City Manager Larry Werner focused on commercial snow clearing, saying it must be done within two days of a snowstorm or business owners may be cited for a misdemeanor offense. He pointed to Carson City's maintenance ordinance but also provided a bit of cover for those who delayed after the recent snowfall.
"Since we haven't had a lot of snow until lately, the property owners forget it's their responsibility to clear the sidewalks," he said.
The ordinance says commercial concerns or property owners in a business district failing "to remove all ice and snow from the sidewalk adjacent to such parcel of land within 48 hours after a snowfall shall by this chapter be guilty of maintaining a public nuisance."
It also makes property parcel owners responsible for pertinent maintenance, which includes but isn't limited to weed removal, sidewalk curb and gutter maintenance, tree care, lawn care and snow removal.
Non-commercial-property owners must remove snow from sidewalks as well, but there is no 48-hour time limit or associated misdemeanor fine, Werner said.
The city isn't the only recipient of complaints. The Nevada Appeal heard from a reader seeking a story on the problem, noting that car dealers seem to be "the best about keeping their sidewalks cleared."

I'm working on sharing my thoughts and feelings about bringing a baby to BlogHer. I admit I am torn, trying to be considerate for the women without children, the Moms that left their babies at home to come to a conference in peace (only to see and hear other babies here), and those that chose childcare. And I'm thinking about the baby... and what it means for the little one. Is this experience fair to her? Is it selfish of me? Is BlogHer, and all that comes with it, really a place for babies? Let me think on it.

Big league goes Little League on the balls and strikes
PHOENIX � In a throwback to Little League days, balls and strikes were called from behind the pitcher�s mound for a brief period in Tuesday�s exhibition between the Los Angeles Angels and Milwaukee after an umpire was injured.
Home plate Seth Buckminster was hurt with two outs in the top of first inning. Brewers starter Wily Peralta threw a pitch that hit Albert Pujols, and the ball deflected and struck Buckminster on the left arm near the wrist.
Buckminster left the game along with umpire Anthony Johnson, who changed into home-plate gear. After a brief delay, with only two umpires left on the field, play resumed for four batters with Tim McClelland calling pitches from behind the mound.
Johnson returned to the field in the bottom of the first.

Danish Rabobank cyclist Rolf Sorensen admits doping
COPENHAGEN � Former Rabobank cyclist Rolf Sorensen of Denmark has admitted to doping in the 1990s.
A professional from 1986 to 2002, Sorensen says he �apologizes humbly for the long, long period with lies� for using EPO and to some extent, cortisone.
Throughout his career, Sorensen stubbornly denied doping allegations.
The Danish rider�s wins include stages in the Tour de France and the Giro d�Italia. He also won one-day races including the Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
Sorensen was on the Rabobank team from 1996-2000. He is the latest rider from the now disbanded team to admit to doping.

The issue surfaced after 15 female judokas accused former national coaches of harassment and physical violence during training before the London Olympics.
Tokyo is vying to host the 2020 Games.
