Second of two parts
NIAGARA FALLS – Want to buy – for just $40,000 – a two-bedroom, completely refurbished ranch home in a low-crime, suburban-style neighborhood … but just a few yards from a toxic dump containing nearly 22,000 tons of chemicals?
Don't laugh. Hundreds of people have made the purchase.
Some remain satisfied with the deal. Others are having regrets.
In the decades since it became a national horror story, the neighborhood around the old Love Canal has sprung back to life with young families and new development.
But while some of the new residents claim in a $113 million lawsuit that chemicals are leaking from the landfill and causing them health problems, others wonder why the government permitted redevelopment in the first place.
And why anyone would ever choose to live there.
"I think it's absolutely crazy," former resident Luella Kenny said. "I don't think anyone should have been moved in here."
Kenny knows firsthand the dangers of living near the notorious toxic waste dump. She fled the area in the 1970s after her 7-year-old son died of a rare kidney disease that was linked to chemical-waste exposure. And she believes letting young families move into her old home – and the homes of her neighbors – was a grave error.
"There are a lot of areas of Niagara Falls that could have been rehabbed without danger," Kenny said. "What are you trying to prove when you put a playground next to 22,000 tons of chemicals?"
Government officials say that playground – along with the senior citizen center and hundreds of houses surrounding the toxic dump – are perfectly safe. They defend the construction that has taken place over the past two decades.
"It's probably the most tested piece of property on this planet," said Michael J. Basile, spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency. "Not only was it tested, but we had scientists, chemists, geologists and engineers reviewing data that came back, which led us to make the decisions we made."
Those decisions included leaving most of the toxic chemicals found during the late 1970s on-site – in all, 21,800 tons of hazardous substances. State officials declared the neighborhood a disaster area in 1979, and more than 800 families fled the neighborhood. But a decade later, hundreds of others would begin to take their place.
New families move in
After cleaning up contaminated sections of the neighborhood, capping the hazardous material in an underground treatment facility and surrounding the dump with a chain-link fence, the federal government authorized the resettlement of the area around the landfill in the 1990s.
One side of the area around the fenced-in landfill was deemed too toxic for residential use, and today the streets there resemble a barren rural outpost.
But to the north and west of the 70-acre canal, there are neighborhoods.
More than 200 homes – in many cases, the same ones abandoned by Luella Kenny and her neighbors – were rehabilitated with government funds and put up for sale.
The area to the north of the canal was even given a new name: Black Creek Village.
Enticed by cheap housing prices and government promises that the area was safe, people such as Nicole Morales jumped at the offer. Morales, a local bank employee, had heard about the toxic history of the area. She knew she was taking a chance when she bought her ranch on 98th Street and moved in with her husband, their 12-year-old son and their 9-year-old daughter.
"People told me, 'You know what's there,' " she said. "It's the choice you make and the chance you take."
But like many others, she said the price – well below market value on a safe, suburban-like street – was right.
So last year, the Moraleses bought a house down the street from one of the world's most notorious environmental waste sites.
"We got a good bargain on this house, too good to pass up," she said. "Whoever worked on this house did it right."
A dump in the yard
Some of the families who were living in Love Canal neighborhood back the 1970s are still there today.
Many were hesitant to leave unless they saw tangible signs of illnesses among their friends and families, and many are happy living near Love Canal to this day.
"We've been here 40 years, and we're still alive and kicking," said Betty LaFountain. "Some people, like we are, say everything's been fine. Other people, they've had all sorts of problems."
Nathan and Elena Korson count themselves among the latter.
The young family moved from California a few years ago so Nathan Korson, a military veteran, could find work.
Like other young families, the Korsons said they had never heard of Love Canal until after they bought their house.
When a neighbor notified them about the contents of the fenced-in landfill a few blocks away, Nathan Korson was "astounded," the neighbor said.
The family's worries grew into a nightmare when their first child was born in 2011 with club feet and other birth defects.
Soon after, the Korsons tried to sell their 92nd Street home. When they couldn't find a buyer, they abandoned the home and fled to Pennsylvania. Their home remains vacant to this day.
The Korsons are one of three families suing the government for $113 million, claiming health issues in the neighborhood stem from a breach in the Love Canal containment system.
Government officials insist this is not the case. They say the Love Canal-era chemicals found in a city sewer pipe in February 2011 had been there for decades and pose no danger to families.
Real estate agents say most buyers from Western New York – unlike the Korsons – are aware of the history of the area.
"When I'm telling someone, I always say it's in the Love Canal section," said Bonnie Fitzgerald of Realty USA. "But obviously, I don't push the issue."
That's because – as she and others pointed out – selling a home near Love Canal can be difficult, given the toxic history.
"The poor families that are selling the home, you don't want to stigmatize it and then they never sell the house," Fitzgerald said.
A new neighborhood
Today, Niagara Falls has scores of declining neighborhoods with crumbling houses and crime-ridden streets.
But Black Creek Village is not one of them.
The area in recent years has experienced a construction boom of sorts, as city agencies and community groups built:
• A senior housing complex across from the Love Canal landfill entrance. Built in 1999, the complex boasts 80 units.
• A $100,000 playground and walking trail, built in 1998 about 100 yards from the Love Canal landfill.
• A senior citizen recreation center where seniors gather each morning for coffee.
• A $1 million baseball and softball complex built in 2004 on the site of the former 93rd Street School, which was demolished along with 300 homes during two waves of evacuations.
"It has one of the highest property and occupancy rates in the whole city," said Mayor Paul A. Dyster, who took office after the developments. "It is considered to be one of the most stable neighborhoods."
Perhaps the most controversial project was the playground. It stands on the edge of the Love Canal landfill, separated from the landfill by a row of houses and a chain-link fence.
Samuel J. Giarrizzo was considered a neighborhood hero for helping see the project through. Today, his wife, Lillian Giarrizzo, has no regrets about the development.
"I don't worry about Love Canal," she said. "They monitor it on a daily basis. The DEC has been out and checked our property. They found nothing" wrong.
Federal officials say the site is the ultimate success story of environmental cleanup efforts.
"It was like a ghost town," said Basile, of the Environmental Protection Agency. "You'd see five boarded-up houses in a row, and today, it's a successful community. This shows what can take place after a black eyesore like Love Canal."
Raising questions
Though government agencies and Occidental Chemical say the area is safe, associates of Lois Gibbs – the Niagara Falls housewife who became a champion of citizen activism after Love Canal – side with the families raising the questions.
"I've analogized the Niagara Falls mayors to that mayor in the movie 'Jaws,' " said Stephen U. Lester, science director for the Center for Health, Environment and Justice in Washington, D.C. "There are sharks out there in the water, and he's telling everyone that everything is OK. It's not exactly the same as the shark in 'Jaws.' It's not an imminent threat, but it's a threat."
The threat became a reality for JoAnn Abbo-Bradley and others after the sewer incident.
A 90th Street resident, Abbo- Bradley said her sons have developed "rare" illnesses since the sewer repair job went awry.
She bought her house 10 years ago after assurances that the area was safe. Now she regrets the decision.
"It's nerve-wracking to keep sleeping in it, waking up in it, preparing meals in it, sending your kids out to play," Abbo-Bradley said. "Every time the toilet backs up … you still worry because of where the source of the water is coming from."
"We're raised to trust the government from a young age," she said. "And then when something like this happens, you wonder. I think they fooled us. I think they fooled us epically."
Abbo-Bradley took a chance 10 years ago that Love Canal was a thing of the past.
She now wants a way out.
"I'm not under any law to tell that Love Canal is a few blocks away," she said. "But I'm going to do that to another human being?"

At age 10, Jessica Snyder was diagnosed with a kidney disease known as IGA nephritis. At the outset, her prognosis was poor, and she was granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation; however, her disease became manageable with medication over the following 20 years.
All that changed Feb. 13, 2009.
Snyder had been working as a registered nurse when she suffered a massive heart attack at age 30. Untreated and misdiagnosed for an extended period, the attack was so severe it caused irreversible damage, leaving her with 20 percent heart function. The stress on Snyder's diseased kidneys also caused them to fail.
Article Photos
Jessica Snyder is pictured with her son, Coltyn. A benefit is planned on Saturday to help Snyder with her anticipated kidney transplant.
Snyder, a Calvert High School graduate, is set to receive a kidney transplant before the end of this year.
The living donor is her aunt, Sally Wagner of Tiffin. Family and friends have planned a benefit Saturday in Tiffin in hopes of generating funds to help pay some of Snyder's expenses.
Now residing in Bowling Green, Snyder spoke recently about her health challenges and the support she has received. She became disabled and required dialysis from the day of the heart attack. Despite her condition, she has been trying to provide a relatively normal life for her 10-year-old son, Coltyn. This kidney transplant could give her and her son a new chance.
Fact Box
Give to Live
The family and friends of Jessica Snyder are hosting the Give to Live Benefit at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Great Hall on the Heidelberg University campus. The benefit includes food, entertainment, raffles and a silent auction. The effort is to raise funds toward Snyder's kidney transplant.
Organ transplant involves an extremely high financial burden, including the cost of the surgery for the recipient; the costs of the surgery and accommodations of the donor; post-operative therapy; medications and anti-rejection drugs. In Snyder's case, it also entails airfare to the Johns Hopkins surgery center in Maryland, hotel accommodations for the 6 week-plus stay required for pre- and post-operative treatments. This benefit is to help lighten that burden on Snyder.
Snyder, a registered nurse, also wants to focus on organ shortage, the importance of organ donation and the life-changing effects organ transplants have on recipients and their families.
"When I first began dialysis I went to a center three times a week. The last two years, I've been on home hemodialysis. I'm one of the lucky few; and it's all possible because my mom (Ann Scott) comes to my house to provide the life-saving treatments to me. Without her, I would have to return to a center. I (have dialysis) five days a week. In recent months, we have been assisted by Renee Mathias and Jen Dukes. Their being here frees up some of Mom's time," Snyder said.
Hemodialysis at home allows the patient more privacy, more control over the treatment schedule and fewer dietary restrictions. Snyder said these factors also help the person feel better overall.
A kidney transplant is the best way for her to survive, but she is considered a sensitized patient. The multiple blood transfusions she received after the heart attack flooded her body with antibodies. That puts her at increased risk of rejecting a donated organ.
Snyder checked into transplant programs at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio State University and elsewhere. None gave her much hope.
Then, she discovered Dr. Robert Montgomery and the incompatible kidney transplant program at Johns Hopkins, the only one of its kind. The program has achieved success with high-risk patients through medications and other treatments before and after the transplants.
The next step was to secure a donor.
Snyder's aunt agreed to give a healthy kidney to her niece. Snyder said she is touched at Wagner's willingness to give the gift of life with no benefit to herself.
"She would do this for anyone, if it was God's plan. She is such a selfless, loving and caring woman. She is a role model for so many already. I will never be able to express my gratitude for her. She always knows what to say when I need it the most and she never loses faith. She is such an inspiration to me and I love her so very much," Snyder said.
She also expressed appreciation to Wagner's husband, Mark, for going along with his wife's decision.
Snyder said family, friends and people she never has met have formed an "unbelievable" support system for her. In an effort to avoid being a "burden" to anyone, Snyder hesitated to talk about her serious health issues. She said loved ones tried to respect her wishes, but they encouraged her to tell her story beyond the family.
"Although it's been difficult, they have been key in me sharing my story. It's difficult to share (publicly) such intimate details about myself, and I would have never been able to go through with it without my friends and family. Once I started sharing, I couldn't believe all the support, encouragement and prayers that started pouring in and continue to do so. People are amazing," Snyder said.
Coltyn attends Bowling Green Christian Academy, and Snyder said the staff and families connected to the school also have been supportive. They have offered many prayers for Snyder and Coltyn. Her mother's employer and co-workers have made adjustments so Scott can take care of her daughter and grandson while continuing to work and keep up her own household.
"Mom makes many sacrifices for me. She gets to my house early in the morning and does my dialysis (usually about four hours from start to finish). Then she heads off to work, usually returning home late. She has a family at home, as well. My stepdad, Jonathon Scott, and my sister, Ellie Scott (17), have been more than supportive and understanding on my need for Mom's time and attention," Snyder said.
At the time of this interview, Snyder was waiting for a call from Johns Hopkins to set the date of surgery for her and Wagner. If a good match becomes available sooner from a deceased donor, she will accept that organ.
After the surgery and recovery, the first thing Snyder plans to do is "something special" with Coltyn. He wants to have a "No More Dialysis" party. Later, mother and son hope to go "on a real, no dialysis, relaxing get-a-way."
Beyond that, Snyder already has signed on with the American Heart Association to be one of their speakers for 2013. Her topics are to be women and heart disease and young people and heart disease.
"I don't know how much physical stuff I'll be able to do after the transplant," Snyder said. "This past summer, Coltyn and I did some volunteer work at a local nursing home. We both enjoyed volunteering, but it was physically too much for me. I look forward to feeling much better after the transplant. Unfortunately, according to the Hopkins cardiologist and transplant surgeon, my heart function is not likely to improve."
Because she will be susceptible to infections, Snyder probably will not be able to work in a hospital. She has contacted Donate Life Ohio about doing some volunteer speaking for them and possibly working in organ procurement.
Saturday, Snyder plans to be present at the benefit and hopes to have Coltyn with her. She may be a little late because she wants to stop at the benefit for Nick Hunter, whose heart transplant took place in September.
"Our support system is there whenever we need them, whether to pick Coltyn up from school or extra-curricular, be with me at an appointment, run errands, help with daily tasks we all take for granted, and to do things with Coltyn I am unable to physically do with him, They do so much, I will never be able to list it all; mainly, the all have unconditional love for Coltyn and me. Its the best feeling in the world," Snyder said.

Local officials paid tribute to Sen. Jay Rockefeller's long history of service to the state Friday after hearing of his decision not to seek re-election.
Del. William G. Hartman, D-Randolph, said he hated to see someone with such seniority leave the Senate.
"Seniority in the Senate is everything," Hartman said. "We need to make sure we replace Sen. Rockefeller with someone who possesses lots of experience."
"Sen. Rockefeller has served the people very well over the years," Hartman said. "It has been rumored for a while that he may not run again. I believe he has served us very well, and I wish him the very best."
Randolph County Interim Superintendent of Schools Terry George said Rockefeller has been a tremendous asset to West Virginia.
"He was a great advocate of our state," Rockefeller said. "I consider him a champion of the health care movement and it will be a loss for West Virginia when he steps down.
"When I was in high school, I campaigned for him in his first run for governor," George said. "We put those blue stickers that said 'Jay' everywhere we could stick them. I watched him grow as he won for governor, and then eventually for the U.S. Senate. He will be missed."
Sen. Clark S. Barnes, R-Randolph, said Rockefeller will be difficult to replace.
"He was a strong senator and a strong voice of West Virginians," Barnes said. "He was a big proponent for veterans and has accomplished lots for miners, especially those with black lung. He was also a great supporter for our rural health care clinics.
"I thank him for his many years of service and wish him well," Barnes said.
Robbie Morris, director of the Randolph County Development Authority, said the RCDA thanked Rockefeller for his service to West Virginia.
"He was an advocate for West Virginia," Morris said. "I wish him well in his future endeavors."
Del. Denise Campbell, D-Randolph, said there is a lot to consider regarding Rockefeller.
"Think of all the years of service; in the house, as Secretary of State, as West Virginia governor and as U.S. senator," Campbell said. "He worked on so many issues including coal miners, veterans, children, senior citizens and health care. We will all greatly miss him.
"Everyone knows the name of Jay Rockefeller," Campbell said. "He has contributed so much to help the state of West Virginia."
Elkins 4th Ward Councilwoman Nanci Bross-Fregonara said she read Friday about Rockefeller's announcement.
"I am very disappointed to hear this news," Bross-Fregonara said. "He has done so much for the state of West Virginia.
"I believe Sen. Rockefeller has a way of analyzing issues and looking to see what is best for the people of West Virginia," Bross-Fregonara said. "I truly admire his thoughts about the coal industry and how it could grow with some changes. He was one of the few voices in the state that looked at all sides of the coal industry.
"Sen. Rockefeller has given so many years of his life to our state and nation, and it takes a lot of time," Bross-Fregonara said. "He has served on so many committees and his experience and seniority will be missed. He was not far right nor far left; he had the ability to look at all sides of an issue, move forward and not be stifled by polarization."
Randolph County Board of Education member Ed Tyre said of Rockefeller, "There comes a time when everyone decides to step aside, and I guess he has reached that point."

Your Take: Do You Negotiate or Haggle Often?
|Email Print
Reading this article by Jane Boon on negotiating down the price for luxury watches reminded me of my trips to China as a kid. When I was younger, we'd visit my relatives in Taiwan once every two or three years. On those trips, we'd often go to various open air markets and street vendors where negotiation was not only expected, it was crucial to the buying process. While I'm not always 100% comfortable with doing it now, I think I really enjoy the dance once I get moving.
My most recent memory was of going to Bermuda and buying a conch from a vendor off the street. The quoted price was $10 a piece for something I knew couldn't be worth more than a dollar, factoring in labor to find, clean, and polish the conch. Time after time I saw tourist walk up, hear $10, and pull out a ten dollar bill (the kid was selling them beside an open air market, where our friends were wandering). Eventually, I walked up and asked him how much, he said $10, I cringed and said that was too much. Over the next half hour, as I was happily drinking my adult beverage and watching his kid reposition his huge duffel bag of conch shells, the number of tourists passing by had slowed down so I asked the kid if he'd sell me one of the conches for $6. He shook his head. I said $7. He kind paused, then I said I'd buy two for ten (we were with friends) and immediately pulled out the ten dollar bill – he agreed. He went from not being sure whether he wanted to sell it for $7 to selling two for $5 a piece. It was probably one of the highlights of our Bermuda trip (that and wandering into a $500 per person slots "tournament" at Atlantis). 🙂
I usually don't haggle much while in the U.S., unless it's at a market or for a big ticket item, but it seems like I should. How about you?{ 13 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Christian right ignores many of Jesus' teachings
When I am not actually deploring their acquisitiveness, bombast and intolerance, I kind of feel sorry for partisans of the Republican/Christian right. For surely, as they blast the "liberal media," rail about "giving more to those who don't do the bare minimum to fend for themselves" (Everybody's Column, March 17) and generally whine about wanting their country back, it must occur to them, every now and then, just how little they are like, and how little they emulate, their own professed savior. Jesus of Nazareth – now there was a social activist and dyed-in-the-wool liberal! Someone who understood, lived and taught the social contract. May his memory serve as a blessing for all humanity.

Spring Hill, Tenn.
Rachel Morris is a junior family and consumer science major with an emphasis in food and nutrition/dietetics. She loves food and originally wanted to go to culinary school, until she found her second love: chemistry.
"I really like the chemistry component of food, and dietetics is a good combination of that," Morris said. "I've loved my food science courses, because you get to learn what happens to food when you cook it and why food burns. You get to make things like salad dressing and mayonnaise and learn, chemically, why it all sticks together."
Morris starting thinking about UT Martin after receiving a brochure in the mail, and planned a campus visit simply as "a place to start" in her college search. "When they took us outside and around the campus, I just fell in love with how beautiful it is here, and how it's a small town and such a great atmosphere," she said.
She came for the campus, but stayed because of her professors. "The professors in Family and Consumer Sciences are just so nice and will go above and beyond to help you. … It's a small school and you get more opportunities that you wouldn't have with a bigger school. You're not just a number. You're a name; you're a person," she explained. "If you have a problem or you want to talk about anything with the professors, you can, there's nothing stopping you and they'll know who you are when you walk into their offices."
Morris is also encouraged by the way her professors and classes "help (her) understand the workplace (she'll) be in after graduation." As part of the UT Martin dietetics curriculum, she will be required as a senior to complete two weeks of job shadow experience with a professional in her field to help her choose a particular career focus. She will also have to complete a seven- to 12-month internship after graduation, as required by the American Dietetics Association, and pass the Registered Dietitian Exam to receive her professional license.
Morris, who wants to be a clinical dietitian and work in a hospital, is excited about her career options. She explained how dietitians can work not only in hospitals, but in cafeterias and restaurants, nursing homes, private in-home settings and even in classrooms, teaching others how to prepare and portion healthy food options.
In addition to her regular classes, Morris is also the vice president of UT Martin's Student Dietetics Association, which seeks to promote nutrition and healthy food choices among the campus and local community. The group also helps provide presents, clothing and nutritional food options to a Weakley County family every Christmas.

A Warsaw man who has not held a driver's license in nearly 14 years was charged over the weekend with drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident, Wyoming County sheriff's officials said Sunday.
Two officers from the Wyoming County Probation Department said they saw Jeffrey G. Murphy, 35, strike a street sign with his vehicle at 9 p.m. Friday at Oatka and Keeney roads in the Town of Warsaw.
Murphy's vehicle continued onto Route 19 in south Warsaw, officials said, where it forced three southbound vehicles off the road. Probation officers stopped the vehicle on South Main Street in the village, where deputies arrived and arrested Murphy.
Sheriff's officials said Murphy's blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit. Murphy was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation, leaving the scene of an accident, misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and misdemeanor aggravated DWI. He was sent to the County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.

There's no denying that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Olympic gold medal ice dancer Meryl Davis have chemistry on the dance floor. All season long the Dancing With the Stars duo wowed the show's judges and viewers with one stellar performance after another.
As in-step as they are on the dance floor, it's their off-the-dance-floor connection that has folks wondering, "Are they or aren't they?" Or, in the case of DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who declared after the couple's emotional and soulful freestyle routine Monday night, "I think the two of you should get married."
That seems to be the general consensus among fans and colleagues, who experienced a gentler, kinder and more playful Chmerkovskiy this season. And humbler.
"Meryl is everything. I tried as hard as I have ever tried and she just gave me more ability," Chmerkovskiy told PEOPLE moments after he and Davis won the season 18 mirror ball trophy Tuesday. "Had I won in the first seasons or any other season it wouldn't have been as special as this. Meryl is the strongest person I've ever met."
Davis, 27, returned the compliment, saying Chmerkovskiy "taught me so much about myself. Going through everyday life with him for the last months I've learned how important it is to be who you are and not apologize for it. It's really been enlightening."
Chmerkovskiy, 34, has long been dubbed Dancing's "bad boy" thanks to temperamental on-camera arguments with partners and egotistical outbursts during live telecasts. But that was then. This season, Chmerkovskiy was rarely seen with a furrowed brow.
"It was like the ideal love relationship – they loved each other, they respected each other, they supported each other," judge Inaba says. "I've never seen a partnership that was so truly about the essence of two people working together, coming together, merging together as one and becoming greater than themselves."
Indeed, pals attribute Chmerkovskiy's sunny disposition – complete with a perpetual impish grin and a never-ending supply of hugs for everyone, especially Davis – to his time with the gold medalist.
"She was so soft and yet so strong with him that we were able to see a vulnerable side of Maks," DWTS pro and Chmerkovskiy's former fiancée Karina Smirnoff tells PEOPLE.
"There is a clear, loving chemistry between them," host Tom Bergeron says. "So many people say that this is a sexual chemistry. Maybe I'm naïve, but I don't see it that way. I see it as a very lovely affection between them that has brought out a side in Maks that has turned him into a teddy bear. He's come to the show this season with renewed focus and energy and Meryl has been the perfect addition to that change in him."
"Sometimes being strong is just about being soft and allowing the other person to be who they are," Inaba adds. "She showed Maks how to be strong in a very different and loving way."

Food writer Robin Davis, author of Recipe for Joy, started the tradition of serving candlelight breakfasts on Valentine's Day the first year she was married, and created this cocktail (with a nonalcoholic option) for the holiday. It has since become the family's celebratory drink on special occasions in any season.
1 tablespoon chilled pomegranate juice
1 cup chilled sparkling wine such as Prosecco
1 teaspoon orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier
orange peel twist or orange slice for garnish
Pour the pomegranate juice into a Champagne flute or wine glass. Fill with sparkling wine. Top with orange liqueur. Garnish with orange peel or an orange slice.
Serve immediately.
To make a nonalcoholic version, substitute nonalcoholic sparkling cider for the sparkling wine and orange juice for the orange liqueur.

Nunemaker Place: Home of the Honors Program
Current home to the Honors program and its 130 Westminster College students, Nunemaker Place was constructed in 1977 as a space for quiet meditation and the hosting of cultural events. Built for $300,000, the structure was unique enough to be named a winner in a design contest administered that year by the Western Mountain Regional Conference of Architects. In 2002, the Utah chapter of the American Institute of Architects gave the building an award for structures that are older than a quarter century and still significant architecturally. Over the years Nunemaker has hosted weddings, held small classes, provided the setting for poetry readings, and served as an intimate space for chamber concerts, given the building's excellent acoustics. The 2,700 square foot building was made possible by a gift from Irene Nunemaker, a longtime executive with Avon cosmetics, who originally hailed from Kansas but lived for a time in Salt Lake City. A devoted Presbyterian, Nunemaker was connected to Westminster, a former Presbyterian mission school, through college trustee Rev. A. Walton Roth, also a Kansas native. Known also for her interest in the cultural and artistic scenes, and philanthropic work, Miss Nunemaker provided funds for similar buildings at a number of college campuses across the country, including the Honors building at the University of Kansas, which is named Nunemaker Center.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014
At this point, its already clear that Obamacare is doing far more harm than good. Weve all become familiar with the soaring premiums, lost coverage, and the dismal sign up numbers.
Families and young people are routinely being priced out of the market, hourly workers are seeing their workweek slashed, and individuals are losing access to their doctors. We know now the promise that if you liked your health care, you could keep it turned out not to be true, and even after sinking $1.5 trillion dollars into this program over the next 10 years, there will still be 31 million uninsured people in the U.S.
One of the burdens Obamacare has created for many is a shorter workweek and the resulting lower take home pay. The Affordable Care Act has taken the liberty of redefining full time work from 40 to 30 hours per week, causing many workers to see their hours cut from 40 down to only 29 with a corresponding 25 percent cut in income.
For a family who is managing resources carefully to make ends meet, this can be devastating.
While our first goal is the full repeal of Obamacare, I introduced an amendment earlier this year to restore the 40-hour workweek that has been unraveled by bad legislation.
This and other examples, such as a broken website and costly taxes on small businesses, have been in the headlines almost from the beginning. However, Obamacares harmful effects on Medicare Advantage are now beginning to have real world consequences for our seniors.
Senior citizens living in Elgin, Santee, and other small towns across South Carolina are already finding that their monthly incomes are stretched thin with rising health care costs. Many are currently spending 30 percent or more of their monthly income on insurance, co-pays, and the prescription drugs they need; further hikes could mean a choice between heating their homes or buying groceries for the week.
As a direct result of the Affordable Care Act, many seniors who now rely on Medicare Advantage almost half of whom live on under $20,000 a year are seeing benefits slashed and painful premium increases.
Increases of between $65 and $145 a month can be devastating to an older American living on a fixed income, and there is no end in sight. Further cuts to the program projected through 2015 will likely make a bad situation even worse.
This past week, I joined 40 of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in sending a letter to the administration asking them to make providing consistent care to Medicare Advantage beneficiaries a priority and to minimize disruption to payment levels in 2015.
Our seniors are the cornerstones of our communities. They are our parents and grandparents, and they have made tremendous sacrifices to provide all of us the opportunities that we have today. We owe it to them to keep the promise and preserve the Medicare Advantage that they are counting on.
From legislation to letters to federal agencies and addressing burdensome new regulations, fixing our health care system so that it actually works for people rather than politicians should be the goal we all work toward. I have consistently opposed Obamacare and will continue in my efforts to relieve the American people of the burden this bad law has imposedfor our families, our small businesses, our seniors, and our communities.

I'm so happy for you getting the iPhone, I'm still dreaming :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment in my blog, you are such an amazing friend. But when life gives you lemons, what else a girl is gotta do than make lemonade, right?
Sooo.. I started a lemonade meme - consider yourself tagged http://skimbaco.blogspot.com/2008/04/lemonade-meme.html
The Iphones are way to cool! Unfortunately not in my network. Thanks for the chuckle your post at Chicago mom's brought.ReplyDelete
I just upgraded to a Razr... out of necessity. My old phone (only the 2nd I've had in 9 years) was dying.ReplyDelete
I didn't even get the whole internet/network package... I just don't want to be that connected.
Now HH... he got the Blackjack 2 & I have to tell you it's pretty snazzy. It's no iPhone, though! :-)
Uhoh, you've gone to the dark side.ReplyDelete
I'm still using my crappy plain ol' flip phone with a squeaky hinge. My brother gave me a Chocolate he had lying around and someday I'll get to the Verizon store to get it switched over. LOL
I'm not sure I'm brave enough for a smart phone- don't want a phone that's brainier than me. :p
So are you addicted to texting yet? I totally thought I wouldn't want to do it, but it is actually a great way to send a message to my husband at work without really bugging him or interrupting a meeting, so now I do it all the time for anyone I know working office jobs.ReplyDelete
Oh, interesting. i really didn't know that blogging was so stressful! Scary.ReplyDelete

Is your computer information secure? How can you be sure? These questions will be addressed in "Computer Security 101", a 2- part class being offered by the SC Tech Academy of the Coastal Community Foundation, starting Wednesday, July 17.
The recent hacking of taxpayer records at the South Carolina Department of Revenue was a wake-up call for both nonprofit organizations and private individuals alike about the vulnerability of online information. The class will focus upon the knowledge required to recognize threats to your most valuable asset - donor, organizational, and personal information – and the tools to help keep them secure.
Presented by Bob Hooper, owner of Rent A Bob, a local information technologies company that specializes in security issues including virus repair, the class will cover topics including: performing a basic security inventory, recognizing and addressing threats such as spyware, malware and viruses, and using the free and low-cost tools provided to take action on existing security problems and help prevent future ones. Participants will be given practical assignments to complete between sessions, which will provide the best opportunity for maximizing learning while directly benefiting their organization.
The two-part class will be held on Wednesday July 17 & 24 from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. at 635 Rutledge Ave, Suite 201, in Charleston. Limited to 10 students to maximize learning, the class is open to nonprofit staff, board members and volunteers, as well as interested individuals. The fee is $49.

My wonderful Mother-in-law cooked a perfect meal and my children would only eat bread and large knifings of butter. And then cried for ice cream and popsicles.
Every single time we go over there, they do not eat.
They just whine and beg to get down and when's dessert? and whine whine whine.
Do they ever eat?
Yes- at home! at restaurants! at school! at my parents' house! THEY EAT! I PROMISE YOU.
But here, where we would like to appear somewhat like good parents? As they scuffle and hit each other at the nice dining table? With cloth napkins and gold napkin rings.
They turn into little people I do not know and my heart goes into a panic that OH MY GOSH WHAT IF THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE REALLY LIKE?
What if these ARE the children I've created. What if this IS the behavior that I've instilled in them with my awesome parenting skillz? What if this is IT?
What if there are no take-backs?
We get home, arms full of leftovers, and at dinner time the kids eat. They eat the very things they refused to eat at Grandma and Grandpa's.
They sit and talk respectfully to each other. There is no whining here. They are happy! And I almost grab my Flip video as proof to show the in-laws.
Well, Gray still stomps and pouts and demands A FORK! for his ice cream instead of a spoon.
(Of course I rewarded their awful actions today with ice cream- what kind of Mother do you think I am?)
*Nervous laugh*
Please don't answer that.
I wrote the above and then shuffled the kids off to get ready for bed.
They washed their faces and brushed their teeth after only one asking.
I beat the world 8 castle of Super Mario Bros. on the DS for them and earned the title of Bestest Mommy and Mario Player Ever. They made Ivy laugh. We talked about Easter and what it means...
In their own words:
Like how I wasn't good at Grandma's today? And wanted that chocolate popsicle?
Like how I cried? And we were a little bad?
God gave his only son for us, because we aren't good sometimes. He's the only perfect one. We aren't.
My heart beats fast and I am so proud of these children. They aren't perfect. And neither am I.

quote: But for his second crop he bought commodity soybeans from a local grain elevator, as that crop is more often prone to fail and Monsanto's seed is expensive. The elevator grain consists of a blend of soybeans, most of which are Monsanto-derived crops. Mr. Bowman argues he should not be held accountable for using that crop.

Chelsea Handler Lands New Talk Show, Mega Deal w/ NetFlix
For those mourning Chelsea Handler's departure from E!'s Chelsea Lately and potentially late night television, fear not: Chelsea Handler has just signed a mega-deal with Netflix, giving the streaming service its first talk show, as well as a new stand up comedy special and four new docu-comedy series!
Like her E! late-night show, which will end its seven-tear run on August 26, the Netflix talker will feature Handler's unfiltered opinions on topics of the day as well as guest interviews. It has not been determined yet what frequency the show will be released with — daily, weekly or in-between — with Netflix only noting that it will debut simultaneously in all Netflix territories. "The Internet has disrupted many of the conventions of traditional television and together with Chelsea Handler, Netflix is looking forward to reimagining the late night talk show for the on-demand generation, starting with the late night part…." said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
On her move to Netflix, Chelsea explains:
"If I was going to continue working in this industry, I knew I had to do something outside the box to keep myself interested," Handler said. "I wanted to sit with the cool kids at lunch so I approached Netflix to make sure they were as cool as I thought they were, and when I confirmed my suspicions, like with any other future lover, I made my move. I'm more excited than I've been in awhile, and the team at Netflix is the most forward thinking, alert group I've sat down with in ages. No offense to the Shahs Of Sunset."
Deadline continues:
Before she starts her new talk show, Handler will tape an one-hour stand-up special during the June 20 stop of her tour "Uganda Be Kidding Me" Live in Chicago. It will premiere on Netflix on Oct. 10. And next year, Handler will create four new docu-comedy specials for Netflix featuring her efforts to gain a better understanding on a variety of subjects ranging from NASCAR to politics and from Silicon Valley to the NBA draft. The talk show, stand-up special and docu-comedy specials will be produced by Handler and her partners in Borderline Amazing, Tom Brunelle and Brad Wollack.
Looks like Chelsea's landed exactly where she wanted! What do you think of her big move, Instincters? Will you watch Chelsea on Netflix?
Look for her new Netflix talk show to launch in early 2016!
'I was married for five years without any child,because of this my husband start acting very strange at home,coming home lately and not spending time with me any more. and because of this my husband divorce me. So i became very sad and lost in life because my doctor told me there is no way for me to get pregnant this really make life so hard for me and my family.my friend told me about Dr Zuma zuk from the Internet,how he has helped people with this similar problem that i am going through so i contacted him and explain to him.he cast a reunite spell to bring back my husband and it was a miracle three days later my husband can back to apologize for all he has done and told me he is fully ready to support me in any thing i want,few month later i got pregnant and gave birth to twins (girls) we are happy with ourselves. Thanks to Dr Zuma zuk for saving my relationship and for also saving others too. continue your good work, If you are interested to contact him and testify this blessings like me, the great spell caster email address is:(email@example.com)
Chelsea is the epitome of what a worthless cunt is made of. Absolutely NO morals, NO class, NO ambition in her miserable, worthless existence, other than to spew out of her snout vulgarity and just plain filth.
Figures that you gays, some of the most worthless beings that exist in our world, would support this worthless, dirty cunt!
You will all burn in hell, let there be NO mistake of this!
Chelsea is brilliant! Plus she drinks more than I do so whats not to love! I can't believe she wasn't chased down by one of the big three networks and offered a multimillion dollar deal. She is so much funnier than the male dominated minor league male players on late night t.v.
Way to go Chelsea, I love you and your sense of humour.....Hello Vodka it's me Jamie....lol

He completed shadowing experiences at the Alle-Kiski Medical Center, St. Clair Hospital and a pre-medical summer internship in Latrobe and Pittsburgh.

The experience will be what you make of it, so come with an eager mind and an open heart and Saint Vincent will become a part of who you are in the end."
