The town again will be looking for a part-time dog control officer to help its full-time one.
The Town Board last week approved the termination of Cathy McGee as its part-time dog catcher. The board did not elaborate on its decision, only noting that the termination was effective Aug. 15.
Supervisor Jolene Jeffe, who said she could not comment on the personnel decision, said the board needs to decide on how it wants to proceed with filling the position, since it mostly is used on an on-call basis and for coverage during vacation time for the full-time dog control officer. There is no established amount of weekly hours for the position.

Grand Island
School Board member Paul Krull reported at last week's board meeting that a visit to a Staley Road site where the Niagara Sunday Flyers plan to run a program for technology students didn't reveal any noise issues from the model airplanes.
Some Staley Road residents have expressed concern about traffic and safety issues related to the club using the district-owned former baseball field for an aeronautical education program. So some board members and Superintendent Robert Christmann visited the site on Aug. 25 for a flying demonstration.
"Birds were louder than the planes," said Krull, adding that only one plane at a time is being flown.
But Kristin Yiengst, who owns the adjacent property, said the planes come close to her residence and frighten her horses.
In other board matters last week, Denise Dunbar, principal of Sidway Elementary School, said she recently met with representatives of the Genesee Central School District who were interested in the school's Reading Recovery and Early Childhood programs.

Office of the President
President Giuseppe N. Colasurdo, M.D.
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth)
October 2012–Present; President
An internationally known researcher and pediatrician, Giuseppe N. Colasurdo, M.D., was appointed president of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and the Alkek-Williams Distinguished Chair Oct. 22, 2012.
He became dean and H. Wayne Hightower Distinguished Professor in the Medical Sciences of The University of Texas Medical School, part of UTHealth, Sept. 1, 2007 and served in that role until Oct. 1, 2015.
Born in Morrone Del Sannio, Italy, Dr. Colasurdo completed his undergraduate education at The Liceo Scientifico "Galileo Galilei" in Pescara, Italy. He earned his medical degree summa cum laude from G. D'Annunzio School of Medicine in Chieti, Italy. Determined to achieve the best medical training in the world, Dr. Colasurdo decided to come to the United States in 1988.
He completed his residency at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and his fellowship at the University of Colorado Health Science Center and the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver. In Colorado, he worked in the laboratory of Dr. Gary L. Larsen and initiated his studies on the autonomic regulation of the airway smooth muscle, the biology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, and ontogeny of airway dysfunction and inflammation in childhood asthma.
Dr. Colasurdo joined the Medical School's faculty in 1995 as an assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine. He became the division head in 1997 and started directing the fellowship training program in pediatric pulmonary medicine in 2001. He was named chair of the Department of Pediatrics in 2005.
The physician-in-chief at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, Dr. Colasurdo specializes in RSV, pediatric asthma, and other lung disorders in infants and children. Dr. Colasurdo has received research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Children's Miracle Network, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
His numerous awards include the Dean's Excellence Awards, the David W. Smith Trainee Award from the Western Society for Pediatric Research, and the Basic Scientist Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. In 2008, he received Houston's Executive Communicator of the Year Award from the International Association of Business Communicators; the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Department of Pediatrics at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB); was elected to faculty membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society-Houston Delta Chapter; received the Facolta di Medicina e Chirurgia Award from the G. D'Annunzio School of Medicine in Chieti, Italy; and received the Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, presented by the Consul General of Italy.
In addition to publishing more than 120 manuscripts, abstracts, book chapters, and review articles, Dr. Colasurdo holds editorial reviewer positions on several scientific journals, including The American Journal of Physiology, The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, and Pediatric Pulmonology.
A strong proponent of preserving and promoting the best in medical education, Dr. Colasurdo brought to the UTHealth Medical School two fellowship training programs recognized by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education: pediatric pulmonology and pediatric critical care. He also created a Division of Medical Education in the Department of Pediatrics dedicated to focusing on new strategies and technologies for resident learning.
As dean, Dr. Colasurdo developed a structure to promote health care quality and safety throughout the clinical, research, and educational missions of the Medical School. He also promulgated a Scholarly Concentrations Program aimed at helping medical students enrich their academic pathways into medical specialties. Under his leadership, the UT Physicians clinical practice of the Medical School has expanded beyond the confines of the Texas Medical Center and into the neighborhoods of Houston and surrounding areas.
Board certified in Pediatric Pulmonology and licensed to practice medicine in Italy, Texas and Colorado, Dr. Colasurdo remains an active clinical pulmonologist and has hospital privileges at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital, which is part of the Harris Health System, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

It's a great mix of local producers selling lovely bread, meat, fish and veg, and local community cooks creating a range of edible treats. We especially liked getting our sustenance from the vegan lunch box! Here's a picture of our stall, loaded high with all our lovely leaves.

It is perhaps the first commandment of football: Run the ball.
To do so, you need a running back, and you need someone for him to run behind. It is football's version of the chicken-or-the-egg.
This year, Canisius had both.
The Crusaders went 11-0 to win the Monsignor Martin Association championship, becoming the first Monsignor Martin large school to go undefeated in 14 years. There were two powerful pillars to that perfect season – senior two-way lineman Ryan Hunter and junior running back Qadree Ollison – and for that they are both being named The Buffalo News Player of the Year.
The Canisius duo – who were selected for the award over Alden senior Corey Barczykowski, Lockport senior James Chambers, Orchard Park senior Michael Senn and West Seneca East senior Andy Smigiera – are part of the 55th All-Western New York football team, selected by The News and longtime contributor Dick Gallagher in consultation with area coaches and officials.
The 35th edition of the Player of the Year award marks only the fourth time, and the second in the last 20 years, that The News has honored two players.
Cardinal O'Hara teammates Reggie Garner and Jackie Feggans were both named Player of the Year in 2007. Anthony Scott of Grand Island and Teddy McDuffie of Grover Cleveland shared the award in 1992. Grand Island's Cliff Scott (Anthony's older brother) and West Seneca East's Kevin Mason shared it in 1989.
In 1978, the second year of the award, The News named two captains of its All-WNY team: Carl Chase of Canisius (offense) and Alan Copeland of Lancaster (defense). That was the only other time that a Canisius player earned the top player honor.
There was plenty of other history set by this year's Canisius team, including most wins and the school's first unbeaten season since 1976. It was the first time since St. Joe's went 10-0 in 1998 that a Monsignor Martin large school went undefeated, a rare achievement due to the Catholic schools' tendency to play top-notch out-of-area teams. Among Canisius' impressive victories were wins at Walsh Jesuit of Ohio and over Section V (Rochester area) Class AA champion Aquinas.
There is also an entire record-breaking chapter that can be filed under "Q."
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Ollison, who is known to many simply by the first letter of his first name, ran for a school-record 1,876 yards this season on 240 carries. The Niagara Falls native's 25 rushing touchdowns were a school record, as were his 26 total touchdowns (Ollison surpassed the totals set last year by Mercer Timmis: 1,560 yards, 22 rushing TDs, 24 total TDs).
With career totals of 2,679 yards and 35 total touchdowns, the junior is also now just 401 yards and four touchdowns away from the Canisius records in both of those categories. Ollison showed he could deliver a hard hit on defense as well, although his playing time was understandably limited there.
Ollison is not only quick to the hole, he is even quicker to sidestep tacklers, and he is especially good at pounding past defenders, especially late in the game.
The finalist for the Connolly Cup had performances that epitomized his season in every major contest, gaining strength late in the game when his team needed it most, then brilliantly closing out the year.
In a 26-14 victory at Bishop Timon-St. Jude in Week Eight, he had 206 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries, including a game-clinching 46-yard score in the final minutes in which he ran out of a defender's grasp to reach the secondary.
In a 28-21 win at St. Joe's in Week Nine, he ran for a school-record 344 yards and four touchdowns on 39 carries (including 254 yards in the second half).
In a 44-20 semifinal victory against St. Francis it was an 18-carry, two-touchdown, 230-yard performance that gave him the Crusaders' single-season rushing record. In the championship game, he ran 38 times for three touchdowns and 195 hard-earned yards in a 28-20 win over Timon.
"Most of that stuff comes with all of the offseason and conditioning work that I did," Ollison said. "So in the fourth quarter, I wouldn't be tired. Also, it's like a 'killer instinct' attitude – wanting to finish a team off."
And when Ollison ran, the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Hunter was most often pushing bodies out of the way to clear his path, not just by virtue of his tremendous strength, but his outstanding footwork.
Canisius coach Rich Robbins estimated that 85 percent of Canisius' running plays had Hunter involved in opening the holes.
"It might have been in different formations, but we were running to his side," Robbins said. "And it was no mystery, if we needed a yard [on fourth and 1], we were running behind big No. 68."
Said Ollison: "Ryan is a great lineman. He's one of the few linemen in our league over 300 pounds, he's really strong and really big. And he is really athletic. We'd use him on counter plays and he was really fast getting out and up into the hole."
Hunter – who also did not surrender a sack all season – was also a major force on defense. He constantly pushed his way into the opposition's backfield despite constant double- or triple-teams. In Canisius' 3-4 defense, he helped the Crusaders control the opposing line so his linebacker teammates could make stops. He made plays (54 tackles) despite at least two linemen trying to stop him. His pressure also led to lanes disappearing for running backs and for hurried throws by quarterbacks into Canisius' ball-hawking secondary (22 interceptions).
In the championship game against Timon, Hunter made his presence felt in various ways, including blocking an extra-point attempt and batting a pass that would be intercepted by the Crusaders.
Robbins noted that Hunter did his two-way work while only taking off about five to seven plays per game.
Like Ollison, Hunter also credited conditioning under coach Robbins as a major factor in his development. The native of Canada relocated from his home in North Bay, Ont. (a 300-mile drive north of Buffalo) to Western New York prior to his junior season. He was housed by a Buffalo family that had sons at Canisius.
When Hunter first arrived at Canisius, he thought his size would be enough for him to succeed here so he could pursue his dream of playing in the NFL and his more immediate goal of earning a Division I scholarship.
During his first training camp, however, the reality of American football delivered quite the head-slap.
"Last year was a rude awakening," said Hunter, who is fluent in both French and English. "Honestly I thought I would come in and be a dominant force on the offensive line, but it really opened up my eyes that I had to work a lot harder.
"After the season [coach Robbins] told me I needed to work my butt off and get into shape. That was my motivation. I worked hard, ran a couple of miles a day to make sure I would play as much as possible and be as dominant as possible on both sides of the ball."
Last year's performance, and his offseason work, earned a scholarship offer from Bowling Green, where he is verbally committed. He is the only player in Western New York committed to an FBS program.
With the improvement in Hunter's physique and his stellar senior season, there is a good chance other programs will offer him scholarships before football's National Signing Day in February.
Hunter said he is taking things "one day at a time," saying he has "no intentions of de-committing from Bowling Green," but also that his coaches are sending out his tapes and that "we'll see what happens." (Ollison, meanwhile, is already getting attention from Big East and Mid-American Conference schools.)
Hunter not only worked at improving his training, he became a team leader on and off the field and a few weeks ago, coaches named him Canisius' Team MVP.
"On the field, he is a 6-foot-5, 315-pound, one-man wrecking crew," said Robbins."But also, his work ethic in practice and his approach to our goals was contagious. He would always remind the team each week of the score of the 2011 game of the opponent we were about to play. He made sure underclassmen knew what the mission was and that they worked hard every day to help our seniors and our team reach new heights.
"Our physical attitude and approach was keyed by Ryan and his love of punishing opponents. He loves to hit and showed that on 'O' and 'D.' He was our team MVP because of what he did for our offense, defense and our team overall. Without Ryan, 11-0 would not have been possible."

Have you considered a TMR for your heifers?
If you have considered feeding a TMR ration to your young replacement heifers, recently published research from the University of Guelph may interest you. They compared feeding time, feed sorting, competitive behavior, and fecal scores of heifers that were either fed a TMR or a topdressed ration. Results were published in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of Dairy Science.
Both rations were 65 percent grass/alfalfa haylage and 35 percent textured concentrate (on a dry matter basis). Using time-lapse video, feeding and competitive behavior were collected. The amount of sorting was determined by analyzing the particle size of fresh feed and feed refusals. Lastly, fecal scores were given based on consistency twice weekly.
Heifers fed the topdressed ration tended to consume less NDF and sorted for shorter particles (mostly the concentrate.) In addition, heifers fed the topdressed ration spent more time at the bunk in the two hours after feed delivery and were displaced more frequently than those fed a TMR. Fecal scores were lower for this group, as well. These results suggest feeding a TMR to young replacement heifers may promote a more even diurnal feeding pattern, minimize feed sorting and bunk competition, and promote more solid fecal consistency.

The U.S. Judo Association recently honored Dr. Ronald Allan Charles of Goose Creek with Coach of the Year.
Charles operates a USJA club for judo and jujitsu at the Naval Weapons Station, where he teaches free of charge. Judo is the Olympic sport that developed from jujitsu (self-defense).
Charles holds an 8th-degree black belt in judo and a 6th-degree black belt in jujitsu.
He began judo as a Citadel cadet in 1961. After graduating in 1965 and then serving as an Army officer in Germany, he backpacked around the world to the Kodokan Judo Institute in Japan, where he studied under Kotani Sensei, who had been a student of the founder of judo.
His first overseas trip lasted nearly eight years and took him to 83 countries.
Upon returning to America, Charles entered graduate school at his alma mater and earned a master's in education, then his doctor of philosophy degree in education from the University of South Carolina, followed by a postdoctoral master's degree in education, his third degree from The Citadel.
Charles was inducted into the USJA National Hall of Fame in 1985 as Outstanding Life Member Contributor. The USJA honored him with a Judo Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.
Charles graduated from North Charleston High School in 1961.

Tipton averaged nearly 20 points per game and became the Tigers' all-time leading scorer. Eckleberry led her team in points, assists and steals capping a stellar career with another trip to Charleston. Waggle paced a Potters' squad that started the season 9-1, while Allie Bangor highlighted a Beaver Local team that graduated its top four scores.
But change can be good.
The 2012-13 campaign should see some new names emerge as the cream of the crop.
East Liverpool
The Potters have welcomed back one of their own in Allan Dingey who will begin his first season with the girls basketball program.
Dingey, a 1972 East Liverpool graduate, has spent the past 20 years coaching youth basketball and serving as an assistant with the Wellsville basketball program.
Now, Dingey will look to revitalize the Lady Potters basketball team.
"One of my focuses will be on the lower levels," Dingey said. "You've got to have a good program all the way up. I want to get the numbers up and get this program going."
Last season was the tale of two halves for the Potters.
East Liverpool, under the direction of coach Emily Reed, started the season 9-1 only to drop six of its final 10 games including a sectional opening loss to Carrollton, 82-42.
That team was dominated by three seniors in Mallory Waggle (14.7 ppg), Whittni Davidson (13.3) and Kelsie Wymer (8.0).
"We're going to be a work in progress," Dingey said. "We're still trying to determine what our strengths will be. We definitely lack some varsity experience."
Six-foot senior Candace Holmes (5.4) will likely play a big role if the Potters are to find success.
Much of the scoring load will fall upon standout sophomore Nikayla Edgell. She showed signs of being a dynamic player in her first high school season and put up 29 points in the Potters season opener against Lisbon last week.
"She has a great attitude and puts in the time playing year round," Dingey said of Edgell.
Holmes and Edgell will likely be joined by seniors Sarah Morrell and Mary Davis and junior Chelsea Possage in the starting lineup. Also seeing major playing time will be senior Jamie Neville and juniors Kiara Cowart and Rae Ana Holmes.
"There's no easy games on our schedule," Dingey said. "We want to improve every game and settle on a rotation. I expect to see a lot of hustle and teamwork."
Beaver Local
Beaver Local coach J.R. Walker has his work cut out for him.
Entering his second season with the Beavers, Walker will have to replace nearly all of his team's scoring from last year. Gone are Beaver Local's top four scorers in Allie Bangor (13.0), Tenelle Hoppel (10.8), Kenzie Weber (6.0) and Taylor Pike (4.3). Also gone is Cheyenne Marsden and Sam Cook.
"We're just praying somebody steps up," Walker said. "We're going to have to play as a team. We need to be patient on offense and work the ball around. We don't have that big scorer so we're going to have to play team basketball."
The Beavers return only one player who averaged more than three points a contest in junior Danna Talbott (3.7). Talbott will be joined in the starting lineup by seniors Mattie Anderson, Sam Bishop and Allison Kennedy and junior Maranda Kiddey.
Also in the mix will be Courtney Ricciardi, Ravenna Cianni, Tanner Dolhoun and Jade Savre.
"We don't want to hear the word 'rebuild,' but we know we're young," Walker said. "As coaches, we're going to have to be patient with them. We're hoping to crawl then walk and hopefully be running by the end of the year."
While Walker said he admits the Beavers will likely experience some growing pains this season, he's by no means ready to throw in the towel.
"I want us to play team basketball and improve as the season goes along," he said. "I've got girls who are willing to learn. I expect a good season. I don't ever go in saying that we're going to struggle."
Where have you gone Mikyla Tipton?
That question is easy to answer as Tipton has taken her skills to Bethany College where she is already seeing major minutes as a freshman. The harder question is how the Tigers plan on replacing the school's all-time leading scorer.
"It's definitely a big hole to fill," Wellsville coach Ed Swogger said. "She scored 20 points a game for us and anytime you lose that type of production from one player, it's tough.
"We're going to have to be more of a team. We just don't have another 20-point scorer to thrown in there. But, we do have a few eight to 10 point girls. We're going to have to spread out the scoring."
Tipton wasn't the only loss the Tigers suffered. Also gone is Rilee Livolsi (5.6) and Irene Kiser (5.2).
Wellsville will likely rely heavily upon junior Shartece Taylor (8.7).
"You can definitely count on her speed," Swogger said of the track standout. "She's stepped up as a leader and she's going to be one of our cornerstones for the next couple years. She's not a Tipton type scorer, but she can have a big impact."
The Tigers will welcome back senior Monica Wilson who played in just two games last season before having ACL surgery.
Swogger said he also expects sophomore Amanda Coles to be a key contributor.
"She'll play in the post for us and she plays bigger than her 5-foot-3 height," he said. "She likes playing down low and has been a real sparkplug for us in the past."
Joining Taylor, Wilson and Coles in the starting lineup will be junior Brittany Clendenning (4.7). The final spot will be filled by either Kallee Powell or Sabrina Thompson.
"Lack of varsity experience will probably be our biggest weakness," Swogger said. "But these girls have a great attitude and are working hard. They haven't had a winning season since 2000. That's been on a lot of the girls' goal sheets. We want a winning record."
Oak Glen
For the Oak Glen girls basketball program, anything less than a trip to Charleston seems like a disappointment nowadays.
The Bears have advanced to the state tournament in two of the past three seasons including last year when Oak Glen defeated Magnolia, Tyler Consolidated and Point Pleasant en route to Charleston.
"I think that high standard that has been set here is a great thing because it means we're doing well," Oak Glen coach Scott Wiley said. "The last few classes have set the bar high. Getting back to Charleston is my goal for the girls, and it's there goal as well."
The road back to the state tournament will be a little more difficult this season, however. Oak Glen will have to contend with Fairmont East, Fairmont Senior and North Marion - three teams moving down from Class AAA - as well as Hancock County rival Weir in their section.
Adding to the Bears uphill climb will be dealing with the loss of all-state honoree Payden Eckleberry who is playing basketball on a scholarship from Fairmont State University.
"She did pretty much everything for us," Wiley said of Eckleberry. "She put everyone in the right place. She led the team in points, assists and steals. It's going to be a tough transistion. We've got to have some girls step up.
"You just don't replace a Payden. People keep asking who's going to bring the ball up the court. My answer is whoever gets the rebound."
Junior Tori Feicht will take over at the point guard position, but Wiley said no one is asking her to step into Eckleberry's shoes.
Eckleberry (17.9 ppg) and Amy Webster (7.5) are gone to graduation, while Alex Burch (4.6) did not come out for the team. Despite the heavy losses, Oak Glen has reason to be optimistic with the return of junior Vanessa Hissam.
Hissam averaged 12.6 points a game last season and is expected to have a breakout year.
"She means everything to us," Wiley said of Hissam. "She's really became a nice player with her scoring and rebounding. I always say her timing and hands are her best assets. She's not the tallest player, but she knows how to play. She's been playing under Payden and Kiley (King) and now we're looking to her for some extra leadership."
Hissam will be joined in the starting lineup by the team's only senior, Casey Patterson, as well as Feicht, junior Karly Wiley and sophomore Jessica Stivason.
"Some people think we're going to be down because we lost some players," Wiley said. "I think this group has a little chip on their shoulders. I think we could surprise some people."
Southern Local
The Indians are looking to get over the hump.
Southern Local struggled to the tune of 5-16 last season including a sectional opening loss to Western Reserve, 45-25.
This year however, the Indians believe they are poised to turn their program into a winner.
"We had some injuries last year that were major obstacles for us to overcome," Southern Local coach Cory Leek said of losing Maddy Dowling for half of the season. "She was one of our big leaders and it took some time to find others to step up."
Now, Dowling (7.3 ppg) is gone to graduation, but her early departure last season allowed others to gain valuable on-court experience.
While the Indians also lost Jennah Phillis (7.9) to graduation, a wealth of talent and experience returns to the lineup.
Back are seniors Rachel Coil (9.8) and Kati Hipsley (8.6) to lead the way.
"We haven't really talked about team goals yet, but we want to have a winning season," Leek said. "That hasn't happened here in a long time. I think the last time was 1989. That's on the girls' minds. If we do that, then you never know where you will fall in the league."
Joining Coil and Hipsley in the starting lineup is junior Beckah Phillis (3.8) who started 10 games last season.
Sophomore Brittany Weber will also get a starting nod, while senior Lisa Higgins and sophomore Sarah Phillis will also see major playing time.
"I think we're going to be able to control the boards," Leek said. "If we can play good defense we should be able to hold teams to one shot. I'd say a mixture of rebounding and leadership from our seniors will be our strengths."
Seniors Emily Jenkins and Susan Bratt will be major contributors off the bench, but Leek said he is somewhat worried about the team's lack of depth.
"Last year we had a good rotation of eight deep," he said. "We're looking at who's going to fill those roles. We have the numbers with 18 girls overall, but 12 are underclassmen. We're going to have to probably play plenty of sophomores and freshmen.

COVINGTON – The driver and a passenger were hurt shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, when a sport utility vehicle struck a pole along Silver Lake Road, Warsaw-based troopers reported.

There will be minor changes to Bishop England's and Wando's regions next season when the South Carolina High School League's latest realignment for 2014-16 goes into effect.
The realignment proposal was shown to athletic directors in May, according to a report on SCNow.com, but the final version was sent out Friday. Bishop England athletic director Paul Runey said schools can still appeal, but he doesn't expect any shuffling "because Woodland and Ridgeland, to my understanding, are not going to appeal," he said.
Both Woodland and Ridgeland will depart 2A Region 6 and head to 2A Region 5. Burke drops from 2A altogether to head to 1A Region 6. Class 2A Region 6 is currently an 8-team conference, which is tied for the most programs in one region. Now, its member schools are Academic Magnet, Battery Creek, Bishop England, Burke, Garrett, North Charleston, Ridgeland and Woodland.
Under the new realignment, schools decrease to six. Whale Branch, currently in 1A Region 5, bumps up to 2A Region 6. Runey said the decrease allows an opportunity to replace that former extra region game with a non-region match. The Battling Bishops, who are in the second year of a football home-and-home with 4A Region 7 West Ashley, could schedule another local 4A game, for example, to generate large ticket revenue that a game against Ridgeland couldn't generate.
"We have been in a 7-team (opponents) region, so going back to six allows us some more outside games," Runey said. "This could allow us to get some bigger gates and rivalries. Whale Branch moved up to 2A and are located within a few miles of Battery Creek, so that was a natural fit. It should be a pretty solid region."
In Mount Pleasant, Wando athletic director Bob Hayes is also pleased with the new realignment. The Warriors share 4A Region 7 with Cane Bay, Goose Creek, Stratford and West Ashley under current rules. The only change next season will be the addition of James Island, which is currently in 3A Region 8.
"Having James Island back in 4A is a good thing," Hayes said. "They are a CCSD school and when they were in 4A in the past, it was a good rivalry. We also like the fact we will be back to six-team region. This is better for scheduling and it opens a fourth playoff spot in most sports."
Class 1A
Region 1: Calhoun Falls, Dixie, Fox Creek, McCormick, Ridge Spring-Monetta (football only), Ware Shoals (except football), Whitmire (except football)
Region 2: Brashier Middle College, Christ Church, Greenville Charter, Greer Middle College, S.C.S.D.B., Southside Christian, St. Joseph's, Tamassee-Salem, Ware Shoals (football only), Whitmire (football only)

Current Problem/Situation
1. Weekly maintenance too long
I've had 2 Aquaclear 110 HOB filters and 2 Fluval FX5 running through the 120g in the past. It took around 40mins to take both canisters apart and clean the filter pads during my weekly water change. That is way too much time for me. I recently sold both HOBs and one of the Fluval FX5, leaving me with only 1 FX5 running with some circulation pumps. It still takes too much time and effort cleaning one canister.
2. Meeting only minimum requirement for keeping a Fahaka
RTR has always kept above minimum requirements for long-time success.
Planning/Overall Goal with a Sump
1. Easier maintenance
2. Stay above minimum tank requirement for a Fahaka & better water quality in between weekly water changes
Tank size: 120g Fahaka
Sump size: 20g long (biggest I can fit)
Media: 5g of Pond Matrix
Equipment: Eheim Jager 200w & Marineland Visi-Therm 200w; Danner Mag 18 pump; 2x 100micron filter socks
Flow: ~1400gph main; sump water turnover of ~140 times per hour
Future equipment: 1g of Purigen (taking out dissolved organics) & DIY Algae Turf Scrubber (taking out dissolve INorganics) when Barney gets bigger. He is ~3inches long at the time of this posting.
I'm 2 weeks into cycling the Pond Matrix and seeing if it will reduce nitrAtes as advertised. One end has a Koralia circulation pump and the other side has an Aqauclear HOB filter (no media inside) for a total of ~1000gph through the Pond Matrix. Water level is low because I want more flow going through (not over) the Pond Matrix.

On Friday night, the couple hosted a gathering of loved ones in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Beachside with the exclusive El Dorado Golf & Beach Club private community, guests dined on Mexican food, including churros for dessert.
"Everyone seemed to have a great time," a sources says. "The party went to the late hours."
The fun-filled gathering is fitting for the Maroon 5 singer-turned-The Voice mentor and his bride-to-be.
Levine, 35, recently told PEOPLE that their nuptials "won't be typical, I can tell you that."
What it will be is a group effort, with his Maroon 5 bandmates having significant roles in the ceremony. Jesse Carmichael, his longtime pal and keyboard player, will be his best man, and the band's guitarist James Valentine will play an acoustic medley as guests enter.
PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive and the Victoria's Secret model got engaged last July. The two were first spotted holding hands in New York a year earlier.

The Host star Jake Abel has married screenwriter Allie Wood.
The pair tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in New Orleans on Saturday, Nov. 9, his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
The celebration included a traditional second line parade, which featured the bride and groom twirling umbrellas in the air as they walked down the street accompanied by a brass band.
Wood wore a strapless lace Monique Lhuillier gown and carried a bouquet of pale pink roses, while the Percy Jackson actor, 25, looked dashing in a Prada suit and bow tie.
The couple, who've known each other since they were teens, got engaged on New Year's Eve in New York's Times Square.
"She turned around, and I was on my knee. It was amazing, man," he told Nylon earlier this year. "Out of a million people, it was just the two of us."

Series 31 Live Review Show?
We already gave our reviews of the new series with Matt Smith in Doctor Who: Podshock 213. Now I'm thinking it may be appropiate to conclude our live series of shows reviewing series 31 with a series review from our listeners.
It would be a raw one-off live show outside of our regular shows. Perhaps next week or the week after to give everyone an opportunity to get caught up ('The Big Bang' was just shown this past weekend on BBC America and I am assuming SPACE and ABC in Australia and elsewhere).

Jesse JamesJesse James scrambled to make it right when allegations of an illicit affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee broke, even entering a treatment facility. Wife Sandra Bullock wasn't swayed and filed for divorce April 23, leaving James hardly any choice but to "let my wife end our marriage."
The Apology: "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me," James told PEOPLE on March 19. "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way ... This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Tiger WoodsJames wasn't the only man trying to save his marriage this spring. Just a month earlier Tiger Woods called a press conference – after months out of sight and reportedly in sex addiction rehab for numerous affairs – to publicly apologize to his fans and his family. He and wife Elin Nordegren have been living separate lives, and talk of an imminent divorce is rampant on gossip blogs.
The Apology: "As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time," he said Feb. 19. "I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame ... I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply."
John EdwardsThe John Edwards affair became public in 2008, and was especially dramatic given his wife Elizabeth's battle with breast cancer as well as his persistent denials that he had fathered a child with his mistress. This year he finally admitted that the rumors were true: He has a daughter with Rielle Hunter. Elizabeth, 60, who is still undergoing cancer treatment, has divorce papers ready, a source says, but whether she files them likely depends on her health.
The Apology: "In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs ... I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. ... I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public."
Jude LawTime can heal some wounds, though. The British tabloids broke the news in July 2005 that Jude Law was having an affair with nanny Daisy Wright while engaged to Sienna Miller. Just a few years later, the pair (both starring on Broadway) were spotted canoodling once again.
The Apology: "I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," he said in statement the day the scandal broke. "I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused."
Bill ClintonSome women are just more forgiving than others. Such is the case of the Clintons. The former president's notorious indiscretions with intern Monica Lewinsky became a national scandal, one which he repeatedly apologized for: "I'm having to become quite an expert in this business of asking for forgiveness," he said on Aug. 28, 1998. The Clintons remain married – with Bill even backing wife Hillary through an unsuccessful presidential campaign – and are now planning daughter Chelsea's nuptials.
The Apology: "I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate," he told the public. "In fact, it was wrong. I misled people, including even my wife. I deeply regret that."

So, 2008 then? What a year. Everyone thought it would struggle following the stupendous year for quality games that was 2007, but it hasn't. There's been more 9/10 games than we can remember a year having, and even some perfect 10s. Yeah, 2008's been great, but that's not what you're here to be told. You're here for our run down of the top 50 games of the year. We'll be counting down 10 games at a time, from now till Christmas day itself when we'll unleash the top 10 in a special video feature, and reveal what game's nailed VideoGamer.com's coveted best game of 2008 award. Right, let's get this party started. Here's 50 to 41.
50. Bionic Commando Rearmed, Capcom - XBLA
What we said: Bionic Commando Rearmed is not a release for everyone. It's supposed to be hard, and you're supposed to like it. If you're short on patience or have a nervous disorder, then you should approach Rearmed with caution. If, however, you love the genre and harbour fond memories of the original, then this game will seem like a gift from the Eighties God of Shooty Bang-Bang. You may be slightly narked by the fact that you can't play co-op online, but hey - that wouldn't be very retro, would it?
49. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo - Wii
What we said: It's impossible not to admire the series' remarkable accessibility and engrossing multiplayer battles. Indeed, Smash Bros. is as addicting as it's ever been, but it's certainly not perfect. Some of the character additions left us baffled, and the Subspace Emissary just doesn't live up to the polish seen in every other aspect of the game. Either way, with an epic online mode, dozens of unlockable characters and stages and hundreds of collectible trophies, Brawl deserves its place in every Wii-owner's collection.

The new Volvo FH
The new Volvo FMX
The new Volvo FM
Fuel-efficient. Torque-strong. Reliable. These are the characteristics of Volvo diesel engines. Volvo FH comes with the 13-litre D13 engine with power ratings ranging from 400 to 520 hp.
Excellent torque at low revs. An extremely wide max torque range. Peak torque meets peak power. Volvo's leadership in diesel-engine technology is clearly visible once you start comparing engine curves. You'll experience fast acceleration, excellent pulling power, comfortable low-speed handling and, not least, a fuel-efficient and pleasurable ride at cruising speed.
The vertical, centrally positioned unit injectors. The optimised combustion chamber geometry. The fast and precise EMS-controlled injection. The high gas-fill ratio. We could go on listing what makes Volvo engines hard to beat at fuel economy. Your bottom line will reap the benefits. So will the environment.
Minimise wear on the brake pedal. Volvo's patented engine brake absorbs up to an impressive 375 kW (510 hp), thanks to the unique camshaft design with four rocker arms. Integrated with I-Shift and the cruise control, it lets you maintain a high average speed without compromising safety or fuel economy.
The engine range for Volvo FH comprises four different
power ratings. You can rest assured there's always one that suits your
transport operations. View the complete specs for all engines
