The waiting is the hardest part.
At 18-10, the Fort Lewis College women�s basketball team had done all it could do. The Skyhawks just had to wait.
And the wait was worth it.
FLC completed its journey back from a 1-5 start to the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, erupting in jubilant cheers that filled Cuckoo�s Chicken House after earning the eighth and final spot in the South Central Region. The Skyhawks will meet top seed and host Colorado Mesa in the first round Friday in Grand Junction.
�It�s big. It�s kind of like a culmination of just a lot of hard work. I think hard work and perseverence are two words that come to mind for that,� said FLC head coach Jason Flores, who piloted the Skyhawks to the tournament in his first year at the helm. �I�m just so happy for the players.�
It�s the sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth for FLC and seventh overall.
It was far from a sure thing heading into the weekend. FLC, ranked eighth in the regional rankings last week, fell to the Mavericks in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Shootout semifinals. Then the Skyhawks exhaled as the Mavericks avoided an upset at the hands of Colorado Christian that would have given the Cougars an automatic berth and all but pushed FLC out of the picture.
West Texas A&M, ranked ninth in the region last week, also tried to swipe the last spot from FLC, going to overtime with Midwestern State in the Lonestar Conference title game. But Midwestern State forced the overtime with a late 3-pointer, then scored at the buzzer in overtime to deny A&M the automatic bid.
In the end, FLC�s 17-5 run to end the year trumped West Texas A&M�s near-miss. Three of the Skyhawks� losses in that stretch came to Colorado Mesa, ranked fourth nationally. And the Skyhawks downed fellow tournament team Metro State and bubble teams CSU-Pueblo and UC-Colorado Springs in that run to give themselves a boost in quality wins.
�I felt, especially toward the end of the year, there�s no doubt in my mind we were one of the top teams in the region,� Flores said. �I felt us and Mesa were the two best teams in the conference for a period of time down the stretch.�
Now, the Skyhawks have to find a way to scratch their Colorado Mesa itch.
�We�re going to have to figure out a way to overcome that,� Flores said. �Now it�s just a more pressure situation I think for them than for us. And hopefully we take that and go in there and play a great game.�
The FLC-CMU winner will meet the winner of fourth-seeded Abilene Christian and fifth-seeded Texas-Permian Basin in the second round Saturday in Grand Junction. No. 3 seed St. Mary�s will face No. 6 Metro State on Friday, with the winner meeting the winner of No. 2 Tarleton State and No. 7 Midwestern State on Saturday.
The regional title game will take place Monday in Grand Junction. Game times have yet to be set.

Austin McClune sits in Curve manager Carlos Garcia's chair, typing in statistics after every game. He then quietly gets up and leaves Garcia's office.
According to Garcia, McClune could one day find himself permanently behind the desk in the manager's office of a minor league team.
Unlike most managers in the minors, Garcia lets McClune coach third base, which is apart of the young coach's lessons in order to possibly become a manager in the future.
"He has that capability," Garcia said. "That's the way I see it. For me, his development, that's the thing."
McClune helps Garcia around the clubhouse and splitting time at the third base coach's box. Usually in the minor leagues, a coach like McClune will be at first base. The coach's box across the diamond is normally reserved for the manager.
However, McClune has spent more than a handful of games at third.
"He needs to learn and develop himself as a complete coach," Garcia said. "In my view, he needs to coach third base, not just first base. He needs to learn how to be on that side, make decisions that affect the outcome of the game."
McClune is just a few years removed from his playing days with the Pirates organization. McClune, who played in the outfield with the Pirates, spent five years playing professionally. He never made it past Single-A Bradenton. In 2012, McClune was a player-coach under Garcia, and that's why Garcia kept McClune on when he moved to Altoona.
"We have great relationship," Garcia said. "He was player-coach for Bradenton last year. I saw how he works, his professionalism and how much he learns in the game. It's a great thing in having him here. That's huge for me."
Garcia isn't a bad guy to learn the ropes from either.
Garcia coached first base with the Pirates in 2010. He also coached both first and third base for the Mariners from 2005 to 2007.
"Definitely being in that spot is a good thing for him," Garcia said of what McClune can learn. "He is going learn a different perspective."
Garcia said that McClune will need to learn how to use his baseball instincts to translate into what happens on the base paths. McClune also will learn how to make decisions in split seconds that can impact the game - both skills McClune will need if he wants to succeed as a coach in the future.
"I want him to learn as much as he can from there," Garcia said. "He does a pretty good job for me there."
Game suspended
Tuesday's game with New Britain was suspended in the third inning due to rain.
The game, which the Rock Cats led 3-0, will start today at 11 a.m. It will be completed to nine innings, and the two teams will play another game, seven innings, immediately after.
Nick Kingham will be the pitcher when the game resumes.
It is the second time this series that the Rock Cats and Curve will have played back-to-back games on the same day. They also played a doubleheader earlier this season.

In or Out? Hillary Clinton's Plans Elude Even Her Close Friends
Over the summer, Hillary Clinton spent a weekend at a cabin on the Michigan-Indiana border belonging to Betsy Ebeling, a childhood friend from Park Ridge, Ill. Naturally, the eight women joining Mrs. Clinton were curious about the biggest question in all of politics: Would she run for president?
But no one asked, Ms. Ebeling said in an interview. "It would be like asking your daughter-in-law, 'When are you going to finally have a baby?' " she said.
It may be that Mrs. Clinton herself doesn't know whether, in the end, she will run again for the White House. Her closest friends and aides have guesses, but most say they don't know.
In the absence of a clear signal from Mrs. Clinton, some people close to her are highlighting the downsides of a campaign. As we wrote in a story this morning, some friends and allies focus on how a candidacy would force her to relive scandals from her husband's time in office and answer again to her role in the aftermath of the Benghazi, Libya, terror attacks—among many other elements of her long life in the public sphere.

- Three Bits of Debate Advice Each for Clinton and Trump
Why "crawl around coffee shops in Iowa and New Hampshire," as one put it, when she can use her family's foundation to promote any policy issue she chooses? Does Clinton, now age 66, need all this as she nears 70?
"The people who know her best and really care about her as a person are the most concerned" about her entering the race, said one person who worked on her 2008 campaign.
What's more, there are no guarantees she would win. Mrs. Clinton is the runaway front-runner for the Democratic nomination. But some people who have worked for her over the years say a general election would be no sure thing.
"Can she win it? The answer is yes," said another aide from the 2008 campaign. "But she can just as easily lose it, and it's a hellish experience to go through, to lose yet another presidential run."
The upside of a campaign is clear: A chance to make history as the first woman president. And Mrs. Clinton starts with huge advantages. She has run for president once before. She has lived in the White House and served at the highest levels of the executive branch as secretary of state under Barack Obama. She has international celebrity and a a set of outside admirers who are building a campaign-in-waiting: a network of grassroots activists and wealthy donors.
It's true that anyone running for the White House would find friends questioning the decision to go through such a grueling experience. But Clinton's position is unique in recent history: Her potential candidacy has made it hard for her party to develop a B-Team of potential candidates. Few people want to give money or devote time to a candidate who would instantly be overshadowed by Mrs. Clinton.
That means the cautions from Mrs. Clinton's friends will continue to be an important part of the political story, until she makes her future plans clear.

A C-17 pilot accused of dereliction of duty will face a court martial today at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington in connection to last year's death of a Hollidaysburg paratrooper.
West Virginia Army National Guard Special Forces paratrooper Sgt. Francis T. "Frank" Campion III, 31, was parachuting at Fort Harrison near Helena, Mont., when he landed on a building roof instead of a field, officials said.
The weight of the parachute pulled him over the building's edge, and Campion fell about 30 feet to the ground, hitting his head and causing massive internal injuries. He was taken to a nearby hospital and then transferred to Great Falls, Mont., where he died of his injuries.

The U.S. Air Force accuses Capt. Jared Foley of reckless conduct for approving an additional airdrop without command approval. Foley serves with McChord's 62nd Airlift Wing. McChord operates 51 of the C-17 transport jets.
The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., reported Monday that Campion was the last out of the plane July 10, 2011, in windy conditions. He was supposed to land at Fort Harrison's Marshall Field.
Campion was training with the West Virginia National Guard and had served in Afghanistan.
The 1998 Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School graduate was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group.
West Virginia National Guard Adjutant General James Hoyer told the Charleston Gazette last year that Campion had more than 12 years of military service, including a tour in Afghanistan from 2008-09.
Guard spokesman Lt. Col. David Lester said Campion had performed the jump training many times and was considered an expert by everyone around him.

A Greenfield police officer has been charged with misconduct after allegedly roughing up a woman in custody.
According to the criminal complaint filed Thursday afternoon, Thomas Roszak lifted the woman off her feet and flung her in her cell after she swore at him.
The woman hit a steel stool attached to the floor and suffered numerous visible bruises.
The entire incident was captured on video. The District Attorney's Office said it is not releasing it at this time.
The Greenfield police chief said, "I'm deeply troubled by the alleged conduct and have ordered an internal investigation."
Roszak remains on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Childhood schizophrenia is a severe brain disorder in which children interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia involves a range of problems with thinking (cognitive), behavior or emotions. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking and behavior. Signs and symptoms may vary, but they reflect an impaired ability to function.
Childhood schizophrenia is essentially the same as schizophrenia in adults, but it occurs early in life and has a profound impact on a child's behavior and development. With childhood schizophrenia, the early age of onset presents special challenges for diagnosis, treatment, educational needs, and emotional and social development.
Schizophrenia requires lifelong treatment. Identifying and starting treatment for childhood schizophrenia as early as possible may significantly improve your child's long-term outcome.
The earliest indications of childhood schizophrenia may include developmental problems, such as:
Some of these signs and symptoms are also common in children with pervasive developmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders. So ruling out these developmental disorders is one of the first steps in diagnosis.
Schizophrenia symptoms in teenagers are similar to those in adults, but the condition may be harder to recognize. This may be in part because some of the early symptoms of schizophrenia in teenagers are common for typical development during teen years, such as:
Compared with adults, teens may be:
As children with schizophrenia age, more typical signs and symptoms of the disorder begin to appear. Signs and symptoms may include:
When childhood schizophrenia begins early in life, symptoms may build up gradually. The early signs and symptoms may be so vague that you can't recognize what's wrong, or you may attribute them to a developmental phase.
As time goes on, symptoms may become more severe and more noticeable. Eventually, your child may develop the symptoms of psychosis, including hallucinations, delusions and difficulty organizing thoughts. As thoughts become more disorganized, there's often a "break from reality," frequently resulting in hospitalization and treatment with medication.
It can be difficult to know how to handle vague behavioral changes in your child. You may be afraid of rushing to conclusions that label your child with a mental illness. But early treatment will likely help in the long run. Your child's teacher or other school staff may alert you to changes in your child's behavior.
Seek medical advice if your child:
These general signs and symptoms don't necessarily mean your child has childhood schizophrenia. They could indicate simply a phase or another condition, such as depression, an anxiety disorder or a medical illness that requires other types of evaluation.
Seek medical care as soon as possible if your child has a change in thinking, as these symptoms should be addressed right away. Signs and symptoms can include:
It's not known what causes childhood schizophrenia, but it's thought that it develops in the same way as adult schizophrenia does. It's not clear why schizophrenia starts so early in life for some and not others.
Childhood schizophrenia and other forms of schizophrenia are brain disorders. Genetics and environment likely both play a role in causing schizophrenia.
Problems with certain naturally occurring brain chemicals called neurotransmitters may contribute to childhood schizophrenia. Imaging studies show differences in the brain structure of people with schizophrenia, but the significance of these changes isn't clear.
Although the precise cause of schizophrenia isn't known, certain factors seem to increase the risk of developing or triggering schizophrenia, including:
Schizophrenia symptoms generally start in the late teens to the mid-30s. It's uncommon for children to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. Early-onset schizophrenia occurs in children younger than age 17. Very early-onset schizophrenia in children younger than age 13 is rare.
Left untreated, childhood schizophrenia can result in severe emotional, behavioral and health problems. Complications associated with schizophrenia may occur in childhood or later, such as:
You're likely to start by first having your child see his or her pediatrician or family doctor. In some cases, you may be referred immediately to a specialist, such as a pediatric psychiatrist or other mental health provider who specializes in child development.
In rare cases where safety is an issue, your child may require an emergency evaluation in the emergency room and possibly a hospital specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry.
Being an active participant in your child's care is critical. Before the appointment make a list of:
Make a list of questions to ask the doctor, such as:
Don't hesitate to ask questions anytime that you don't understand something.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask you and your child a number of questions. Anticipating some of these questions will help make the discussion productive. Your doctor may ask:
If schizophrenia is suspected, your child's doctor typically asks about medical and psychiatric history, conducts a physical exam, and does medical and psychological screenings. Your doctor may also request to review school records. This process can help pinpoint a diagnosis and rule out other problems that could be causing your child's symptoms.
The diagnostic process generally involves:
The path to diagnosing childhood schizophrenia can sometimes be long and challenging. In part, this is because so many other conditions can have similar symptoms, such as depression or bipolar disorder. A child psychiatrist may want to monitor your child's behaviors, perceptions and thinking patterns for six months or more.
For example, the psychiatrist will want to know whether problems occur only at home or at school, or everywhere. In some cases, a psychiatrist may recommend starting medications before an official diagnosis is made. This is especially important for symptoms of aggression or self-injury. Some medications can help limit these types of behavior and restore a sense of normalcy.
To be diagnosed with childhood schizophrenia, your child must meet certain criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
The psychiatrist may first diagnose your child with a nonspecific psychotic disorder. As thinking and behavior patterns and symptoms become clearer over time, a diagnosis of schizophrenia may be made if the criteria are met.
Diagnostic criteria for childhood schizophrenia are generally the same as for adult schizophrenia. This involves ruling out other mental health disorders and determining that symptoms aren't due to substance abuse, medication or a medical condition.
A person must have at least two of the following signs and symptoms most of the time during a one-month period, with some level of disturbance being present over six months:
At least one of the symptoms must be hallucinations, delusions or disorganized speech.
The person shows a significant decrease in the ability to attend school, work or perform normal daily tasks most of the time.
Schizophrenia in children requires lifelong treatment, even during periods when symptoms seem to go away. Treatment is a particular challenge for children with schizophrenia.
Childhood schizophrenia treatment is usually guided by a child psychiatrist. The team may include, for example, your:
The main treatments for childhood schizophrenia are:
Antipsychotic medications are at the heart of treatment for schizophrenia in children. Most of the medications used in children are the same as those used for adults with schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications are often effective at managing symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, loss of motivation and lack of emotion.
It can take several weeks after starting a medication to notice an improvement in symptoms. In general, the goal of treatment with antipsychotic medications is to effectively control signs and symptoms at the lowest possible dosage. Your child's doctor may try combinations, different medications or different dosages over time. Other medications also may help, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications.
Newer, second-generation medications (atypical antipsychotics) are usually tried first in children because they have fewer side effects compared with older antipsychotics. However, they can cause weight gain, high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Examples of antipsychotics approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat childhood schizophrenia in children age 13 and older include:
First-generation medications (typical antipsychotics), approved by the FDA to treat schizophrenia in children age 13 and older, are usually equally as effective as second-generation antipsychotics in controlling delusions and hallucinations. However, they may have frequent and potentially significant neurological side effects, including the possibility of developing a movement disorder (tardive dyskinesia) that may or may not be reversible.
Because of the increased risk of serious side effects with first-generation antipsychotics, they often aren't recommended for use in children until other options have been tried without success. Examples of these medications include:
All antipsychotic medications have side effects and possible health risks, some life-threatening. Side effects in children and teenagers may not be the same as those in adults, and sometimes they may be more serious. Children, especially very young children, may not have the capacity to understand or communicate about medication problems.
Talk to your child's doctor about possible side effects and how to manage them. Be alert for problems in your child, and report side effects to the doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may be able to adjust the dosage or change medications and limit side effects.
Also, antipsychotic medications can have dangerous interactions with other substances. Tell your child's doctor about all medications and over-the-counter products your child takes, including vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements.
In addition to medication, psychotherapy (talk therapy) is important. Psychotherapy may include:
Training in social and academic skills is an important part of treatment for childhood schizophrenia. Children with schizophrenia often have troubled relationships and school problems. They may have difficulty carrying out normal daily tasks, such as bathing or dressing. Treatment plans that include building skills in these areas can help your child function at age-appropriate levels when possible.
During crisis periods or times of severe symptoms, hospitalization may be necessary. This can help ensure your child's safety and make sure that he or she is getting proper nutrition, sleep and hygiene. Sometimes the hospital setting is the safest and best way to get symptoms under control quickly. Partial hospitalization and residential care may be options, but severe symptoms are usually stabilized in the hospital before moving to these levels of care.
Although childhood schizophrenia requires professional treatment, here are ways to get the most out of the treatment plan:
Coping with childhood schizophrenia can be challenging. Medications can have unwanted side effects, and you, your child and your whole family may feel angry or resentful about having to manage a condition that requires lifelong treatment. To help cope with childhood schizophrenia:
Early identification and treatment may help get symptoms of childhood schizophrenia under control before serious complications develop. Early treatment is also crucial in helping limit psychotic episodes, which can be extremely frightening to a child and his or her parents. Avoid treatment delays to help improve your child's long-term outlook.

WELLSVILLE - It's been five years since an Inter-Tri County League lower tier boys basketball trophy has been placed into the display in the main lobby at Wellsville High School. With a 64-52 win over Western Reserve on Saturday night, the Tigers ensured that another was on the way.
"It feels good," junior Nate Scott said. "Actually, it feels great. We got what we wanted in the beginning of the season, it's a share of it, but we still got it."
The win cemented the Tigers' (17-3, 12-3) position atop the ITCL lower tier along with McDonald. With one more win, the Tigers will also go finish with a perfect home slate in the regular season.
"That's huge, home court advantage is a big thing in high school basketball," Scott said. "Teams might get you on the road, but you have to always get them at home."
Wellsville's three losses to Beaver Local, McDonald and Southern Local all came on the road.
"You don't like to lose at home, I think they lost one last year and that was it," Thompson said. "They've been playing pretty well at home it's just the road."
Fact Box
W. RESERVE SCORING: Payton Snyder 2-1-6, Dalton Korda 2-0-4, Tim Cooper 1-0-2, Cole Smith 2-0-6, Joe Wisniewski 2-2-7, Joe Falasca 5-0-10, Nolan Snyder 6-4-17. TOTALS: 20, 7-8: 52.
WELLSVILLE SCORING: Camden Douglas 2-2-8, Nate Scott 11-2-30, Antonio Fultz 1-1-3, Seth Bradford 8-0-17, Jordan Sloan 3-0-6. TOTALS: 25, 5-11: 64.
Three-pointers: Western Reserve 5 (Smith 2, P. Snyder, N. Snyder, Wisniewski), Wellsville 9 (Scott 6, Douglas 2, Bradford).
The Tigers came out sluggish, missing layups and free throws on the way to a forgettable first quarter that saw them trailing the Blue Devils (8-13) 14-8. For Wellsville coach David Thompson, it was just a matter of time before things picked up for his team.
"We tried to get a press going but couldn't get any pressure on the ball and couldn't get the steals we needed at mid court," Thompson said.
That switch that was flipped at the end of the frame, triggered an 18-0 run that spanned three minutes and 27 seconds in the second quarter, and put the Tigers with a 12-point lead as they closed the half.
"We just went straight man-to-man and got some pressure on the ball and they started throwing the ball away," Thompson said. "We wanted to get out and attack them more. We weren't pushing the ball down the floor. If they're back, you can still take the ball at them and kick the ball out."
Scott poured in 12 of his 30 points for the evening to help key the run. He finished the night going 6 of 10 from beyond the arc and added four assists and three steals. Fellow junior Camden Douglas added a four-point play during the run to help the Tigers surge. Douglas finished with eight points.
"Once Nate (Scott) started hitting threes, that allowed us to post (Seth) Bradford up later on," Thompson said. "That helps a lot when Nate is knocking down shots, because then teams can't pack it in on Bradford. They were triple teaming him inside when we started. We kicked it out and rotated the ball around and Nate was wide open. He's been doing that since ninth grade."
Bradford concluded the evening with 17 points, seven of which coming in that second frame as Wellsville outscored the Blue Devils 27-9 in that second quarter.
"They're good, every kid on that team can shoot the ball and they know how to play the game," Western Reserve coach Tim King said. "He (Thompson) has done a great job and they deserve to be tied for first place in the league."
Nolan Snyder led the Blue Devils with 17 points. Joe Falasca added 10 points.
"We played pretty well in spurts but then we had those two or three minute breakdowns that you can't have against a team like Wellsville," King said. " They will make shots and the next thing you know, you will go from down six to down 20 pretty quickly. "
The title comes as a checkmark on the Tigers to-do list this season, but also as a just another step along the journey.
"It's just a matter of us all hitting shots, after one person starts clicking, we all start to click," Scott said. "If we just play basketball, just play defense we will be okay. We have some all-around good players."
"It's about time we got another one, it's been a while," Thompson said. "We've been close a couple times but we finally got another one."
Wellsville also won the jayvee game 49-44. Brendon Carr led the way for the Tigers netting 20 points. Sam McIntosh added 13 points. Western Reserve was led by Lance Dezee with 19 points while Kyle Hilles added 13 points.
NOTES: The Wellsville 7th grade boys basketball team was recognized at halftime for winning the ITCL lower tier with a win over Western Reserve on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers finished 19-0.

Wednesday, April 3, 2013
In recent years, a Berkeley Stags win over Cane Bay was cause for major news.
Not so in 2013.
Berkeley defeated the Cobras 12-2 and 7-3, the last win coming on Thursday night at Jim Bradley Field.
This season is different than years past. The Cobras moved up to Class AAAA at the start of the 2012-2013 school year and both teams had come off important region wins the night before, the Stags downing Hilton Head and the Cobras defeating Wando.
Scheduling a game on the heels of two big region contests wasn't the best idea.
"I think we're both a little crazy for doing this," said Berkeley Coach Landy Cox. "We're a little sluggish tonight, very flat, and that's coming on the heels of a big win against Hilton Head. It probably wasn't the best idea to schedule Cane Bay the next night but we didn't want to play on Good Friday."
Cobras Coach Shane Todd,a former Stags coach, is back in Class AAAA and enjoying moderate success so far with a 5-9 record. But their Wednesday night win over Region 8AAAA leader Wando was a crucial one for his team.
"We are capable of playing good baseball this year and we showed it against Wando," Todd said. "But tonight we come out and put ourselves behind the eight-ball, where we have an inning where we don't necessarily catch the ball or throw it like we're capable of doing and we're down 4-0. It limits what we're able to do to get back in the game."
After a scoreless first inning Cane Bay loaded the bases in the second after Bobby Downey walked and was moved to second on a sacrifice. Blaine Peck singled to center as Downey advanced to third. Davon Higgins was then intentionally walked to load the bases against Stags starter Joe Glauser.
B.J. Thompson roped a low liner to right that Andrew Lockliear laid-out to snare off the grass tops, doubling up Peck at second to get out of the inning. "That line drive gets through and three runs score," Todd said. "It changes the whole complexion of the game."
Berkeley took quick advantage of their defensive good fortune by putting four runs on the board in the bottom of the second.
Lockliear led off and was hit by a pitch from Cane Bay starter Justin Shelton. Dylan Baker then reached on an error as Lockliear advanced on a bad throw. Joseph Dress followed with a single down the right field line scoring Lockliear and advancing Baker to third.
The hit parade continued as Brandon Browder laced a single to left scoring Baker. Cane Bay committed its second error of the inning, again on a wild throw at second as Dress came around to score the inning's third run.
Eric Orton plated Browder with the Stags fourth run on a safety squeeze to cap the scoring.
In the bottom of the third Berkeley threatened to blow the game wide open as Lockliear doubled to right-center and Baker followed with his second home run of the season, a two-run pond shot curling around the left field foul pole. In the fourth Browder came within a hair of matching Baker's shot with a double high off the left field wall. He would later score on Orton's sacrifice fly.
Cane Bay rallied with three runs in the fifth.
Peck singled, Higgins walked, and Thompson singled to load the bases with no one out. Reliever Bryce Kunkle had problems finding the plate, hitting Cody Blewer and walking Brian Coleman to force in two runs. Austin Timm plated the Cobras third run with a sacrifice fly to center scoring Thompson.
Zach Gonzales pitched out of the bases loaded jam and shut down Cane Bay over the final two innings to secure the win.
"A letdown was kind of expected after the Hilton Head game but we battled and found a way to win," Cox said.
For Cane Bay, Todd said winning more games is all about avoiding that one bad inning: "If we can eliminate that one inning we'll be fine."
Both teams take part in the HIT Tournament this week, Berkeley hosting the first round at home and Cane Bay traveling to James Island.

JOHNSTOWN - One year ago, the Bedford girls soccer team, lost an epic battle to Westmont Hilltop in the District 6 playoffs, at Richland's Herlinger field.
Thursday, the Bisons exercised those demons and avenged the heartbreak of that loss, by beating the Hilltoppers, 2-1, in a District 6 Class AA playoff thriller.
The game kicked off to a fast pace, with Westmont controlling the tempo of the game, for the first 20 minutes.
Westmont, peppered the Bedford defense with silky smooth ball control and touch passing that had the Bisons reeling.
With each Westmont scoring opportunity, came a better defensive play by Bedford.
"Traditionally, this year we have started off slow, luckily we survived that," Bedford coach Barrett Schrock said.
In the second 20 minutes, it was Bedford that had a little hitch in its step and cashed in with 17:32 remaining in the half, as senior, Hannah Grimes launched a missile past the Westmont keeper.
"It felt great," said Grimes, when asked what it was like to score the first goal of the game, and set the tempo.
Westmont tried to answer immediately, but was turned aside, as goalkeeper, Erin Mueller made a diving save, on a great scoring opportunity.
The Bisons were not done with their scoring, though. Senior, captain, Katie Pyle got some help from the wind when it hooked her corner kick, top shelf, with 3:32 left, to give the Bisons a 2-1 lead heading into the second half.
Pyle went from the ultimate high of scoring in a playoff game, to the lowest low, having to watch her teammates from the sideline, in the second half, due to a yellow card.
"Well, it was kind of mixed emotions," Pyle said. "I was so glad I got the goal in, because I could help my team, but I felt bad that I had to sit off for 20 or so minutes."
The Hilltoppers scored after a controversial penalty kick was awarded to Shyleigh Hughes.
Hughes took full advantage, and brought Westmont within a goal.
It was Hughes that started the game in net, but was later pulled and put on the offensive attack.
"Our team did a great job in the end, they did not give up," Westmont coach Juan Valencia said.
Bedford was attacked by the Westmont offense in the final minutes of the game, but each chance was turned aside by Mueller.
"I think she, [Mueller] is one of the best in the district," said Pyle, who is not only Mueller's teammate, but her cousin as well.
Schrock said that in moving forward, it will be important for his team to get off to a better start.
For Bedford, the win was not only revenge for last years playoff loss, but an important victory for the seniors, who got their first playoff win since they were freshmen.

UNIVERSITY PARK - When your coach is 84, in the last year of his contract and can't stand up for an entire game, the rumor mill on a potential successor is bound to swirl.
And it's swirling, all right, at Penn State.
An Internet report surfaced over the weekend that Urban Meyer, twice a national champion at Florida and the No. 1 free agent among college football coaches, "would love" to ascend to Joe Paterno's throne.
Article Photos
The Associated Press
Urban?Meyer won two national championships at Florida when Tim Tebow was his quarterback.
But he's understandably concerned about the perception that his potential candidacy could expediate Paterno's retirement.
The report was more than message-board fodder. It was written by longtime Ohio State beat writer Jeff Rapp, who now runs a website called SportsRappUp, which is devoted to the Buckeyes' coverage.
His source, reportedly a "close friend of Meyer's," revealed the former Florida coach's interest.
Meyer, who endured a health scare and resigned at Florida after last season, was at Penn State on Saturday as part of the ABC broadcast crew. He denied the report, first saying, "I'm not going to say anything about it," and then added, "There's no truth to the rumor."
Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley has also denied that the Nittany Lions contacted Meyer, as reported by Rapp, on Sept. 25.
OK, we'll take Curley at his word. At the same time, high-level college officials often avoid having to fib about these scenarios and instead work through a third party.
To think Penn State and Meyer haven't flirted is foolish. In fact, if Curley and school president Graham Spanier are not considering their options and probing the top candidates available - knowing it's very possible Paterno may retire on his own - they'd be negligent in their jobs.
For starters, Meyer will be coaching again, probably sooner than later.
He told Rapp for another story last month: "I'm in a little bit of an evaluation phase in my life so I try not to look too far in advance. There's a big part of me that hopes I love that I do what I'm doing and I really enjoy some of the things I'm witnessing with my kids growing up, but I do miss coaching terribly, very badly. I don't know. I'm not going to evaluate until it's time to evaluate."
The Rapp report isn't the first time Meyer has been linked to Penn State. Phil Grosz of BlueWhite Illustrated said on the radio last month that discussions were held with Curley and Spanier when Meyer was in town in August for an ESPN feature on Michael Mauti.
The Sporting News has also speculated, via sources, that Penn State is one of the few jobs (along with Ohio State and Texas) that would lure Meyer back to the game.
Let's be clear: While there may be others with deeper ties to Penn State who would be mightily interested in the job (Al Golden, Greg Schiano, members of the current staff), no one can claim Meyer's resume of a 104-23 record in 10 years (two at Bowling Green, two at Utah, six at Florida), the two national titles and a 7-1 record in bowls.
Nor could anyone energize Penn State's fan base, which has grown anxious for the transition, better than Meyer.
Due to the Lions' underperformance in big games over the last 15 years, the seemingly terminal offensive struggles that have never been more magnified than they are right now, and the controversial STEP program, Beaver Stadium's "greatest show in college football," is currently playing to plenty of empty seats.
Even those in them aren't overly thrilled with the prices, the product and the fact that many of their seasonal friendships are now in another section.
Saturday was a prime example: On a magnificent day - against a quality opponent - attendance was listed at 103,497, and while the STEP program has been financially successful, a lot of money is being left on the table.
That trend likely will continue until a resolution embraced by the Nittany Nation.
Competition for Meyer will be high - particularly in Columbus - and Penn State, to avoid coaching against him, could benefit from a proactive mode it may already be in.
For his part, Meyer's affection for Paterno is evident. He also attended a Penn State volleyball practice (his daughters played Division I volleyball) while on campus last week.
And he did wear blue and white during Saturday's game.
Whether JoePa is finally ready to head off into the sunset isn't certain. It seemed so a year ago, but he walked himself into good shape over the spring and summer before he was run over in practice in August (and aggravated those injuries Saturday).
At Big Ten media days, he said he'd like to coach "another four-five years."
But in his annual preseason interview with Rich Scarcella of Town & Gown Magazine, Paterno said of his future, "I think if they [Spanier & Co.] decide, 'Hey, Paterno's had it,' then they have every right to do it. Heck, I'm not a kid. You know what I mean? Whatever's good for the institution right now is good. If they call me in and say, 'we think it's time to go,' I'll go.''
Meyer's availability makes the timing perfect.
Paterno has said he'd like to have a hand in picking his successor, which means his cooperation and facilitation of Urban Meyer could be his last top recruit.
And the final chapter of the greatest tenure in college sports history.

How many slaves work for you?
The Slavery Footprint campaign launched Thursday (Sept. 22), which also happened to have been the 149th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, with the goal of personalizing "the issue of modern slavery by providing people with an assessment of just how much their lifestyle depends on forced labor -- and the steps they can immediately take to help end it."
By following this LINK I was able to plug in some basic information about myself and my lifestyle -- where do I live, do I own or rent, how many children do I have, have many diamonds/leather shoes/electronic gizmos do I own, what are my eating habits, what's in my medicine cabinet, etc., -- and in just a few minutes received the upsetting news that, according to the Slavery Footprint campaigns diagnostics, 52 slaves "work for me."

Context Antidepressant medications represent the best established treatment for major depressive disorder, but there is little evidence that they have a specific pharmacological effect relative to pill placebo for patients with less severe depression.
Objective To estimate the relative benefit of medication vs placebo across a wide range of initial symptom severity in patients diagnosed with depression.
Data Sources PubMed, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from January 1980 through March 2009, along with references from meta-analyses and reviews.
Study Selection Randomized placebo-controlled trials of antidepressants approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the treatment of major or minor depressive disorder were selected. Studies were included if their authors provided the requisite original data, they comprised adult outpatients, they included a medication vs placebo comparison for at least 6 weeks, they did not exclude patients on the basis of a placebo washout period, and they used the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Data from 6 studies (718 patients) were included.
Data Extraction Individual patient-level data were obtained from study authors.
Results Medication vs placebo differences varied substantially as a function of baseline severity. Among patients with HDRS scores below 23, Cohen d effect sizes for the difference between medication and placebo were estimated to be less than 0.20 (a standard definition of a small effect). Estimates of the magnitude of the superiority of medication over placebo increased with increases in baseline depression severity and crossed the threshold defined by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence for a clinically significant difference at a baseline HDRS score of 25.
Conclusions The magnitude of benefit of antidepressant medication compared with placebo increases with severity of depression symptoms and may be minimal or nonexistent, on average, in patients with mild or moderate symptoms. For patients with very severe depression, the benefit of medications over placebo is substantial.
Reasons for exclusion describe the first reason for exclusion that was encountered during the review process. Several articles had multiple reasons for exclusion. RCTs indicates randomized controlled trials; FDA, US Food and Drug Administration; ADM, antidepressant medication; HDRS, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.
Circles represent observed (raw) mean change in depressive symptoms from intake to the end of treatment at each initial Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) score for both the antidepressant medication (ADM) and placebo conditions. The size (area) of the circles is proportional to the number of data points that contributed to each mean. Regression lines represent estimates of change in depression symptoms from intake to end of treatment for ADM and placebo conditions as a function of baseline symptom severity. These regression lines were estimated from a model of the baseline severity × treatment interaction, controlling for the effects of the study from which the data originated. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence threshold for clinical significance (an HDRS point difference ≥3) was met for intake HDRS scores of 25 or greater, indicated by the blue line.

The term "hipster" is cross-applied from the 1930s Beatniks. The modern hipster is a composite of individuals with a certain bohemian life situation and lifestyle. He or she rejects "mainstream" culture and embraces and contributes to independent culture, and prides him/herself on this. The modern hipster image has been proliferated through the internet, publications such as Vice Magazine, and sightings in the music, fashion, and art world. The image of the hipster is constantly changing, but several aspects have stayed constant over time. Lives in a young, artsy neighborhood of a major city such as Wicker Park in Chicago, Greenwich Village in Manhattan, or Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Usually has some degree of monetary conformability, although sometimes only because of their parents, due to cost of living in these areas. Works (or wants to work) in music, art, or fashion. Has "elitist" music taste and listens to nu-rave (i.e. The Klaxons, Cut Copy, Hercules and Love Affair), minimalist techno, independent rap (i.e. Spank Rock, Talib Kweli, Aesop Rock), nerdcore (i.e. YT Cracker, MC Lars, MC Chris), Elephant 6 (i.e. of Montreal, Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo), garage rock, and punk rock in addition to all manners of independent rock. Favorite band is very likely Bright Eyes, The Arcade Fire, The Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, The Strokes, or something of that nature. Also watches independent and foreign films and reads independent books, magazines, and periodicals. Is a fan of modern art and may also be an amateur artist. Dresses in a progressive but retro fashion that is often changing. Popular items include leggings, mini-skirts, leg warmers, '60s dresses, headbands, chunky jewelry, and large shirts and sweaters for girls and skinny suits and ties, tight jeans and cords, t-shirts with ironic sayings and images, cardigans, plaid and buffalo check shirts, colorful hoodies, and tight windbreakers for guys. Both genders frequently wear dirty Vans and Converses, flamboyant Nikes, large plastic frame glasses, and neon wayfarer sunglasses and are sometimes pierced and tattooed. Shops at Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and thrift stores. Likes to hang out at fashionable coffee shops, indie rock shows, and hipster dance clubs. Does food shopping at stores like Whole Foods and is often vegan or vegetarian. Eats chic ethnic food and prefers organic and Fair Trade fruits and vegetables. Favorite beer is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Takes up many causes and is often socially minded. Enjoys irony in all facets of life, from fashion (wears mismatching outfits and unpopular vintage clothing often emblazoned with ironic sayings) to sports (plays in dodgeball tournaments at McCarren Park Pool). May ride a fixed-gear bicycle or a hybrid car. Networks through Myspace, Facebook, and/or Twitter. Usually rejects the term "hipster" and argues if called one.

Basically a hipster is your modern day Amish. They don't like the trends of the world, so they shun them and live their own worthless lives.
Everyone in the world loves stupid designer things and doesn't appreciate the finer things in life, such as this bag i found in a tree. No one else has it. Hipsters are cheap.

The blend of every failed fad since the early 1900s.
The hipsters in my town sport ironic mustachios and ride pink speed bikes to local coffee shops where they bust out their superior Macintosh laptops and give people disgusted looks who are not seen to be as ironic as themselves, concerning fashion.

Formerly a person with an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence and witty banter, Hipsters are now those idiotic teenage girls who dance around in they're high waisted shorts, cropped tops, cross rings and dip dyed hair whilst making triangle symbols with there fingers.
They claim to be individual and have original style, but are really all the same. They have killed Tumblr for most with their shitty blogs with urls like "glittercrystals" and "sparklyturquoisenailpolish".
All of these "Hipsters" believe that they are indie and original, but because of them; there is pretty much no such thing as indie anymore. These girls have killed the stereotype.

there isn't much difference between hipsters and indie kids. their favorite color is probably either yellow or red. they like triangles, owls, and they all smoke. hipsters MUST know what omegle and 4chan are, lolcats and insanewolfs are a must, too. every hipster needs a camera. they'll take pictures, put them in black and white, and they're automatically photographers. they spend most of their time complaining on tumblr, and making fun of hipsters for being hipsters. they constantly bicker about twilight and harry potter, often favoring harry potter. yeah sure, hp and twilight have nothing in common, but who cares? hipsters don't.
person a: what's that lyric from?
person b: oh, just some obscure band you've most likely never heard of.

person b: lulz, i know.
person a: i have so many followers on tumblr, but they all delete my cred!

hipsters, usually some where between 16 and 24 years old, are in people in the process of breaking their ties with the ska punk "scene" that they dearly loved as a teenager. Their main form of transportation is a fixed gear road bike. Guy hipsters ussally wear skinny jeans, self designed t-shirts(printed drawn, spray painted, ect.). Girl hipsters will sport just about anything that doesn't have a brand logo on it that can be found in their local thrift store, both are often seen with lesbian-esque haircuts and chuck taylor's or vans. Politically, hipsters are very liberal and often are socialist and are in love with Abbie Hoffman and Che Guevara but are too lazy to start any kind of a revolution. Musically, hipsters listen to many genres, some bands most hipsters listen to are the beatles, atleast one of conor obersts projects, the cure, modest mouse, matt and kim, mgmt, the smashing pumpkins and the smiths, many hipsters are also secretly in love with my chemical romance but won't admit it unless they catch their hipster friend listening to them although they often have intense hatred for followers of the christ-core scene.

A person inbetween the ages of young teenager to early thirties who wears vintage/thrift store clothing and tends to embrace the underground, indie culture (art, books, music) instead of the mainstream. A typical hipster wears thick rimmed glasses/sunglasses (mostly Ray-Bans), skinny jeans, ironic tees or band shirts, and low top Converse or some kind of colorful high tops. They mostly listen to indie bands that are about to make it big, such as Phoenix. They have their own 'hip' slang such as 'deck' which means cool. They often hang out at coffee shops and have artfully messy hair. They dislike labelism and being called a hipster. They most likely live in SF's Haight, Williamsburg, SoHo, or the Mission District.
That hipster is so against the mainstream.

Experience an exhilarating blend of vibrant culture, thriving nightlife and glorious beaches on Barcelona city breaks.
A trip to Barcelona blends city living, full of intriguing architecture and friendly people, with beautiful beaches. This vibrant, yet charming destination will entice you with its eclectic mix of things to do.
From the stunning beaches, to the cosmopolitan shopping areas and unique dining and nightlife, Barcelona is a fantastic choice for beach holidays, family getaways and city breaks. Spend your days sightseeing and your nights embracing the exquisite Catalan cuisine and diverse evening entertainment. Each area has its own character and history, from the Roman remains of Barri Gotic to the modern skyscrapers of the commercial area, Port Olimpic.
Stroll along La Rambla – a Barcelona ritual well worth observing. Or wander down Passeig de Lluis Companys, through the Arc de Triomf, and on to the Parc de la Ciutadella. Feast your eyes on Gaudi's most famous masterpieces, like the World Heritage site Casa Mila. Visit his most treasured building, La Sagrada Familia, a spectacular sight in the evening. Make sure to hike up Montjuic, for breathtaking views and a well-deserved beer.
You'll find something for all tastes in Barcelona's abundant tapas bars. These delicious nibbles will tide you over until dinner, which is not traditionally eaten until late in the evening. Many places also serve a leisurely three-course lunch – the perfect way to sample traditional delicacies, accompanied by fantastic wine from the Penedès region. Barcelona is big on al fresco dining, so be sure to grab a table outside for some people-watching opportunities.
Alongside the public art and world-class architecture, you'll also find an array of galleries and museums. The Museu de la Catedral encapsulates the city's history and art throughout the centuries. Try the Fundacio Joan Miró, which houses the most important collection of works by modernist Joan Miró. Even its magnificent Mediterranean-style architecture, designed by Josef Lluis, makes its own artistic statement.
Barcelona has some of the best shops in Europe, with markets, boutiques, and branded chain stores popping up on every corner. Especially good is La Boqueria market on La Rambla, selling fresh fish and fruit – both a visual and culinary feast. Don't miss the exclusive high-end boutiques on Via Laietana, try the vintage shops in El Raval, or find a bargain in the Born-Ribera district.
Traditional tea lounges and beer houses rub shoulders with fashionable restaurants and intimate bars in Barri Gotic. Dance the night away in Poble Nou, or lose yourself in the narrow streets of Gracia, beyond Eixample. If you dine late, as the Spanish do, go afterwards to an evening of live music at a club or bar. They'll likely be open until 'madrugada' – a flexible closing time which means 'whenever the customers go home'.
Enjoy a city break with a difference on Barcelona's fantastic beaches. Combine days of sightseeing or shopping with an afternoon at the beach, or a lazy brunch on the water's edge at Port Olimpic. Barceloneta is an area worth exploring, and is right next to the best beach. Golden sands and shallow waters make the beaches ideal for everyone. So hire a bike, pack a picnic, and laze in the sunshine.

The Sala Montjuïc outdoor cinema feels more like a summertime festival than a night at the movies. Lounge chairs and picnic rugs abound as hundreds come together on the iconic Montjuïc castle's lawns to enjoy music and cinema. While there are English films screened, visit on a night showcasing Spanish cinema and experience Spanish life and culture like a local! Be sure to arrive before the screenings to enjoy live jazz performances from local Spanish bands.
Sample Barcelona's most weird and wonderful beers at the La Cervesera Artesana microbrewery, where Catalan creativity meets hipster beer culture. There's always house-brewed beer on tap with styles ranging from stouts to pale ales. Beer buffs will be spoiled for choice with these experimental brews fresh from the brewery, and you can even take a class in food and beer pairing. Cheers to that!
The Gràcia district is Barcelona's most trendy and vibrant region. During August Gràcia is home to its Festa Major, a week-long festival that sees the streets adorned with colour and decorations to celebrate Catalan life and history. Outside of the Festa Major, Gràcia is a bustling nightlife and music hub attracting local and international artists. For the ultimate spot to savour live music head to Heliogàbal, an intimate bar and gig venue that defines a good night out in Gràcia.
You'll be dining elbow-to-elbow with locals at La Esquinica, an authentic tapas bar in Barcelona's north. Popular amongst locals for its high-quality, speedy service and affordable prices, come here hungry and spoil yourself with an array of Catalan delights including grilled meats, seafood, and patatas bravas. Walk on the wild side and sample a Spanish speciality with the vino turbio: wine served after being shaken until frothy and cloudy.

CHARLES TOWN - Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races will be in the "Eye of the Tiger" on Friday night, as rock band Survivor will come to the H Lounge for a free show.
Survivor formed in 1977 in Chicago and hit the big time in 1982 when they were chosen to write and record the theme to "Rocky III." Frankie Sullivan, founding member of the group, said in a recent interview with The Journal that the band was presented the opportunity because Tony Scotti of the band's record label, Scotti Brothers Records, was personal friends with Sylvester Stallone.
"They had 'Rocky III' done, but (Stallone) wasn't very happy about the music," Sullivan said. "Tony said to him, 'I have this band Survivor if you want to give them a chance at it,' and that's kind of how it started."

Rockers Survivor, whose string of hits includes chart-topper 'Eye of the Tiger,' the theme song from Rocky III and a crowd favorite in sports arenas across America, will appear at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races on Friday.
Sullivan co-wrote "Eye" with Jim Peterik, and it was a smash hit. It spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song, and was voted Best New Song at the People's Choice Awards. Since its release, it has sold more than 8.5 million copies worldwide.
Though it is now more than 30 years old, Sullivan said he doesn't tire of playing the song that gave the band its big break and has become a rock anthem.
"It's a cool song with a cool history to it," he said. "People would think you'd get tired of it, but you can't get tired of your accolades, the things you've worked for, the goals you've achieved."
The band followed up "Eye" with several more chart-toppers in the 1980s, including "Burning Heart" - the theme from "Rocky IV." The band also hit the Top 10 with "The Search Is Over," "High On You" and "Is This Love" in 1985 and 1986.
Today's Survivor includes Sullivan on guitar; Marc Droubay, who joined the band in 1981 and rejoined in 1996, on drums; and Jimi Jamison, who has been with the band on and off since 1984, on vocals. Other members of the current lineup are Billy Ozzello on bass and Walter Tolentino on keyboards and guitar.
Sullivan, the band's lone remaining original member and the only one who hasn't spent time away from the group, said that he remains thankful for the opportunity that was provided through that dinner conversation Tony Scotti and Sylvester Stallone had more than three decades ago.
"You just have to be ready for opportunity - you never know when it's going to come," he said. "It comes at the weirdest times, when you're totally not ready, and then you've just gotta go for it."
Survivor's show in the H Lounge at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races will begin at 9 p.m. Friday. Admission is free to all casino guests over the age of 21. For more information and a list of upcoming events, visit www.hollywoodcasinocharlestown.com.

I could have melted with love straight down to the ground as I watched you discover a star in the sky for the first time last night.
Well, so what if it was the light of an airplane. You pointed with your tan little arm up to the night sky and said "Wook! A 'tar!"
Of course Mommy is fluent in your language and knew you were saying so sweetly, "Look! A star!"
As I put you in the car and we drove away, you followed that star.
When it got farther away, you waved and said "BYE!" and then "Shhh" with your finger to your lips- for in your mind the star was going night-night. Oh how I love you.

1995-1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Ignition Coil for L4 2.0L (excluding Turbo Models)1AECI00074-479262
This part replaces:
- Hollander 610-02802
- Standard Motor Products UF-125
- New
The ignition coil pack is a crucial part of your ignition system. It's function is to convert the 12 volt power of your vehicle's electrical system in to 35,000 or more volts. This produces a high intensity spark at the spark plug which then ignites the fuel in the cylinder. Coils in general will wear out over time and cause a misfire condition. In engines like this that use a coil pack, if one coil goes bad, the complete assembly needs to be replaced.
- Replaces dealer part numbers: C-526, C526, 88921290, 4671025
- Built to strict quality control standards
- Direct replacement
- 100% factory tested

Elizabeth D. LeVan, of the Town of Tonawanda, who served as treasurer of her Order of the Eastern Star chapter for 30 years, died Friday in ElderWood at Oakwood nursing home in Amherst following a short illness. She was 92.
Born Elizabeth DeRemer in Williamsport, Pa., she was the third of nine children and the eldest daughter of Oran and Mamie DeRemer. She graduated from the Williamsport Area High School, attended secretarial school and worked in a sewing factory during World War II in support of American servicemen.
She married Wilbur LeVan in 1942 in Pennsylvania, and they moved to the Buffalo area in the mid-1950s. After raising her three children, she worked for Hengerer's department store, which later became Sibley's, for 18 years, retiring in 1986.
Mrs. LeVan had been a member of Kenmore United Methodist Church since 1955, serving as a Sunday school teacher and as a member of the Keystone Class.
She belonged to the Order of the Eastern Star since 1942, and was treasurer for 30 years. She served in the stations of Ruth, Marshall and Chaplain, was Worthy Matron in 1969 and 1991, and was Grand Officer of New York State as Associate Grand Warder in 1997.
Mrs. LeVan enjoyed needlework and crocheting, and won several awards for her floral designs and ceramics.
Survivors include two sons, Stephen and Mark; a daughter, Kay Escuyer; two sisters, Esther Tudor and Margaret Paulhamus; and a brother, Earl DeRemer.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Kenmore United Methodist Church, 32 Landers Road, Kenmore.

Using LCE to Improve Your Photos in Record Time
LCE, Lighting and Contrast Enhancement, is the force behind the Lighting tool in our ACDSee photo editing products. You can use the Lighting tool to adjust areas in an image that are too dark or too light, without affecting other areas of the photo.
The Lighting tool in ACDSee Pro 6, is very versatile. There are three tabs, each allows you to achieve results in different ways.
The Basics tab is for very quick and easy adjustments using three sliders. It analyzes the photo and varies the adjustments throughout the image automatically. For example, darker images are brightened more.
The Light EQ tab works like a sound equalizer but with light. You can adjust the brightness and contrast of different tone bands (areas of relative brightness or darkness) of the image independently using a slider for each tone band. A graph shows the amount of brightening or darkening applied throughout the tonal range. The gray areas in the graph are suggested boundaries for adjustments to avoid clipping and loss of detail, and turn red to indicate where you adjusted the sliders far enough to cause clipping.
The Advanced tab gives you ultimate control of the brightness and contrast in an image. Basic adjustment curves can be constructed using four sliders, and you can manually adjust the curves by clicking and dragging within the graph area or on the image itself.
Harness the power of LCE to improve the quality of poorly lit photos, and achieve HDR photo results from a single image.
