ALBANY – In a state where few Democrats are willing to publicly break with Democratic Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, State Senate candidate Michael L. Amodeo says he disagrees with two key Cuomo policy initiatives – a move certain to win him no new friends in the Cuomo camp.
Amodeo, a Hamburg lawyer who is running in a district with large numbers of union households, has already won over at least one large public employees union by suggesting that the Cuomo-pushed property tax cap law goes against democratic voting principles and insisting that the governor's new effort to raise pension contribution costs for new state and local government workers should never have been enacted.
The break with Cuomo represents a rare independent streak in a Democrat who wants to join the State Legislature to represent a Democratic-dominated district in parts of Buffalo and its northern and southern suburbs.
Amodeo's position was quickly condemned by one of Cuomo's chief Albany allies, Senate Republicans, who are looking to protect their majority status in the Senate and boost freshman Sen. Mark J. Grisanti's re-election chances against Amodeo.
But Amodeo's position is being cheered by New York State United Teachers, one of the state's largest unions, which is working to help Democrats regain control of the Senate in November.
The NYSUT board recently endorsed Amodeo against Grisanti, and local union activists are seeking to portray the Democrat as far more friendly to organized labor than the Republican incumbent from Buffalo.
"We have many thousands of members living in his district, … and our political action activists will be contacting locals to explain why we support Mike Amodeo over Mark Grisanti," Mike Deely, NYSUT's regional staff director, said in an interview.
In an email to 115 Western New York local NYSUT presidents obtained by The Buffalo News, Deely lays out a platform of union-supported positions on which Amodeo agrees with the teachers group. While NYSUT applauds Grisanti for voting for gay marriage rights last year, Deely said in the email that the incumbent has supported too many ideas – such as "parent trigger" proposals to make it easier to convert a public school into a charter school – that "harm our members and are bad policy … that make it impossible to support him now."
Amodeo said the property tax cap enacted in 2011 – a cornerstone of Cuomo's policy initiatives – is unfair because it requires 60 percent of voters in a district to approve an override of the annual 2 percent cap limit. (In fact, the cap is actually higher than 2 percent because various expenses are not factored into the equation that determines a cap level.)
Instead, Amodeo said, the tax cap vote should be like any other – a simple majority – without the extra hurdle of the 60 percent level. "In this democracy, in this form of government we live in, it's always a simple majority that wins. Here, it should be a simple majority," Amodeo said.
Amodeo said the cap is not actually reducing taxes. "It has stopped the bleeding. It has eased the burden on taxpayers, but we need to make it better," he said.
For instance, the state needs to stop enacting mandates on school districts without providing the state funding to pay for them, Amodeo said, and Albany needs to boost the amount it spends on public schools.
"I realize taxpayers need relief, that a cap on property taxes is a starting point. But we also need to make sure our municipalities and school districts aren't getting hurt," the Democrat said.
As for the Tier 6 pension law Cuomo also pushed through the Legislature, Amodeo said, "I wouldn't have voted for it." He said that a previous pension measure, Tier 5, had been enacted only about a year earlier and that state officials did not give it time to work.
"It was passed in the middle of the night with no negotiations by interested parties," Amodeo said of the Tier 6 law. (When the law was passed earlier this year, unions cried foul, while fiscal conservatives said that it was a watered-down compromise that will not achieve the savings Cuomo touts.)
Scott Reif, a spokesman for the Senate Republican Conference, said Amodeo's position of trying to weaken Cuomo's tax cap law means he "has chosen the special interests over hardworking Erie County taxpayers."
Reif referred to Amodeo's position as "a disgrace."
"Sen. Grisanti knows the property tax cap has been a tremendous success that has already saved Erie County taxpayers $29 million," Reif added, "and he is committed to working with Gov. Cuomo to keep it in place."
Reif said the $29 million figure comes from a combination of calculations based on the last decade of area school spending and data from the State Comptroller's Office.
After several high-profile battles led by Cuomo in Albany against public employee unions in the last two years, NYSUT members in Western New York are gearing up to work the phones and put out mailings on behalf of Amodeo. Last week, Deely said 500 local NYSUT activists showed up for a planning meeting for the November races. "We got 500 people to a meeting that used to get 100 people," he said.
Cuomo has not taken an official stance on the race for the 60th Senate District. Democrats hope, with little evidence so far, that he will stick with his own party and endorse Amodeo, while Republicans would be happy with a Grisanti endorsement or, almost as good, if Cuomo were to just stay out of the race in the district, which has a 2-to-1 Democratic enrollment advantage.

Certificate in Program EvaluationFor results-oriented professionals
Strong program development and performance require ongoing program evaluation and meaningful structures of accountability. Program evaluation seeks to assess the relevance, sustainability, impact, effectiveness and efficiency of programs, projects, policies and regulations by focusing on program design and results. It involves the systematic gathering of information about the performance of projects, policies, programs, regulations, and other initiatives in order to determine their relevance, success, and cost-effectiveness.
Program evaluations are complex endeavours that must be conducted professionally and competently in order to be both credible and useful. The quality and integrity of evaluations depend on the quality and competence of the professionals involved. As an evaluator, you must be able to apply appropriate research and statistical methods rigorously. You must be able to make sound critical evidence-based judgments and communicate well with clients in order to support them in bringing about change. The core competencies of evaluators have been empirically identified by major professional associations, including the Canadian Evaluation Society (CES), and the Treasury Board of Canada.
The graduate certificate in Program Evaluation consists of four courses, for a total of 15 graduate-level credits. All courses are competency-based, designed to provide professionals and managers with the practical knowledge, skills, and credibility for conducting, managing or participating in the program evaluation process.
Inquiry-based learning is a central feature of the training approach. You will link scholarship to practice through case studies and problem-solving exercises. The goal is to enable students to apply sound evaluation methodologies in an ethical and professional manner. Students will have the opportunity to work in their interest areas with the support of a faculty advisor.
This program delivers a transformative learning experience to individuals from various sectors who expect to be involved in various capacities in program evaluation. You will acquire the core competencies required to professionally conduct a program evaluation.
The program is designed to ensure that graduates can:
These program outcomes will be monitored, and will provide the basis upon which students' individual performance will be assessed. The course material is intellectually and personally challenging. The curriculum makes extensive use of student-led inquiry, case studies and problem-solving learning methods. The curriculum is designed to suit the needs of students who have already acquired some work/professional experience.
This graduate certificate will be recognized by the Canadian Evaluation Society and members of the Consortium of Universities for Evaluation Education. Royal Roads University recognizes this certificate for 12 transfer credits. Additional transfer agreements will be sought.

All tied up: Little separated Gannon, Slippery Rock all season long
Gannon and Slippery Rock have kept close company all season in men's basketball, and their respective seasons are virtually on the line tonight at 7:30 when the Knights host The Rock at the Hammermill Center in the PSAC quarterfinals.
PSAC West second-seed Gannon (22-6, 16-6 PSAC West) and third-seed Slippery Rock (20-7, 16-6) split their home-and-home series, with the Knights earning a first-round bye with a 75-63 home win Wednesday. The two clubs' results were so identical that the criteria to break the tie was the Rock's loss to Lake Erie College, a Division II team with a losing record. The next criteria would have been a coin flip.
Slippery Rock thumped California 85-71 Saturday to gain the rematch.
Fourth-seeded Edinboro (18-9, 13-9), which beat fifth-seeded Mercyhurst 65-60 Saturday, travels to top-seeded Indiana (21-5, 17-5) today at 7 p.m. in hopes of an upset and a ticket to the PSAC final four at either Gannon or Slippery Rock to face the top seed from the PSAC East.
Gannon has the task of duplicating its torrid shooting effort against Slippery Rock, the best rebounding team at any NCAA level that also is the top field-goal percentage defensive team in the conference.
"It's simple. We have to rebound well, take care of the basketball, and make our shots,'' Gannon coach John Reilly said in Basketball 101 language that applies to any good opponent on the hardwood.
The Knights, always known to take care of the defensive end and lead the PSAC by allowing 58.5 points per game, adhere to Reilly's theory as the second-best rebounding team in the PSAC, and also the top shooting club. But GU has struggled throughout the season with turnovers, and had 25 in close losses to both Mercyhurst and West Chester.
The Rock have an impressive front line, led by 6-foot 6-inch senior Devin Taylor (13.9, 10.1), 6-foot 5-inch senior Gerald Brooks, 6-foot 9-inch senior Luiz Santos and 6-foot 7-inch junior Tabari Perry. Senior guard Darious Clark (64 3-pointers) had 18 points in Slippery Rock's 69-56 dismantling of the Knights on Jan. 30.
"They are big, and very physical and very experienced and just a terror on the boards,'' Reilly said. "We have to execute the way we can if we expect to win.''
Sophomore guard Adam Blazek had 25 points and nine rebounds in last week's win, which bolstered the Knights to the bye.
A loss by either team could eliminate them from NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional play. The top eight teams selected will go to the tournament, and neither is in the top eight as of last week.
"We don't have any control of that. This is just the next game on our schedule, and we want to win and move on,'' Reilly said.
The winner will play the winner of PSAC East top-seed East Stroudsburg and No. 4 Mansfield Friday at the West's top remaining seed.
If the Scots upset the Crimson Hawks, the final four would be at Gannon or Slippery Rock.
Edinboro was swept by IUP, 86-75 in overtime at Edinboro and 78-70 at the Kovalchick Center. The Hawks had big leads in both games.
"We just have to play better, especially rebounding,'' Edinboro coach Greg Walcavich said. "We have not played well against them, and they always seem to execute when they have to."
The Crimson Hawks, who went to the D-II title game in 2009-10, are the PSAC West's top seed for the fourth straight time.
IUP out-rebounded Edinboro 91-62 in the two games.
Senior point guard Jay Fletcher has 54 points in the two losses, and while the Scots' starting lineup is impressive with the likes of junior center Bryan Theriot, senior guard Isaiah Prince and junior 3-point specialist Johnathan Logan, Walcavich said the difference is in the bench.
"They have all kinds of scholarship athletes coming into the game, and we just don't have that luxury,'' Walcavich said. "That's not to say that we don't have good bench players, because we do, but other teams like IUP have an advantage of getting guys that were recruited heavily by other schools.''
This is the first playoff action for Edinboro since the 2008-09 season.
"We've had some ups and downs, but we earned the right to get here, and we hope to make the most of it,'' Walcavich said.
If the Scots prevail, they will face the West Chester-Millersville winner in the other semifinal.

SearchAll Refuges
Due to the introduction of the brown treesnake, many of Guam's native birds have disappeared from the island; however, some very resilient bird species remain. The yellow bittern can be found foraging in the vegetation along trails and roads as well as in grassy fields. Seabirds such as great frigatebirds, white terns and brown noddies can be seen flying along the shoreline.
The Guam National Wildlife Refuge Ritidian Unit welcomes the public to visit the newly constructed Nature Center. Open from 8:30 – 4:00 p.m., visitors will experience what Guam may have looked and sounded like 500 years ago. The four 16-foot murals depict Guam's natural environment before European contact.
The forest at the Guam National Wildlife Refuge Ritidian Unit is made up of many different plants and trees some of which produce beautiful flowers and fruits. These forests support an array of wildlife, such as birds, insects, lizards and crabs. The refuge also hosts a very large population of native butterflies. The blue-banded king crow can be found in great numbers throughout the forest and along the beaches. Visitors will also find geckos, skinks and crabs throughout the refuge in abundance. Marine life is evident throughout the refuge, from fossils on the cliff walls to the beautiful coral reefs that make up more than two thirds of the total refuge area.
Archaeological evidence of Guam's prehistoric Chamorro culture can be found throughout the refuge. Visitors can participate in forest and cave tours to view pictographs, ancient Chamorro pottery pieces and latte stones, which are the symbol of the Chamorro people.

A flightless bird, the Ko'ko is omnivorous and prefers mixed forest. It is easy prey for monitor lizards, cats, rats, and the brown tree snake. Breeding programs have been set up to eventually reintroduce this treasured bird to Guam.

XOLOBENI MIning proposed by Prince Dinwayo
I am posting this invitation to a public meeting as provided by the Spokesperson for the Amapondo King Zanezuko Sigcau. Recognition of competing claims to hereditary traditional leadership in replacing current king and queen Mpondombini Sigcau is awaiting approval to be heard in Constitutional Court at present. In the interim, pressure is building from one of the parties, King Zanezuko, with a call for the amaPondo to support development initiatives that support an Australian company's application to strip mine the magnificent section of beach mineral sands known as Xolobeni; adjacent to Sun International's Wild Coast Sun resort, which has opposed along, with over 24 000 signatories to refuse this harmful development. I have posted a few questions noted Comment on the Call for a "public meeting". Dear All You are humbly advised and invited to AmaMpondo public meeting that will be held on Saturday 3rd November 2012 at Lusikisiki College of Education at 10h00. Background: The discovery of gold that led to the establishment of Witwatersrand/Johannesburg in the late 1800s assisted by the oppressive laws of the day e.g. Land Act of 1913; Group Areas Act of 1950, Bantu Authorities Act of 1951; Pass Law system of 1952; Bantu Education Act of 1953, Homeland Act of 1970 and many other… led to Mpondoland being reduced to nothing but mine reserves for cheap labour. Through these crafted laws to frustrate Blacks AmaMpondo men were the most affected and forced to leave their rural homes to seek employment in Johannesburg and later other mining areas. The marginalization of AmaMpondo/Mpondoland continued even during the Bantustan government until we saw freedom in 1994. COMMENT: In what way does the appointed prince believe that the Amapondo will not again lose their rights to land by granting a few priviledged people in the Black Empowerment Group and the Australian mining group licence to strip mine xolobeni? To what extent does he seriously believe that jobs will be created that will not reduce people to local mine migrant labour now having granted the rights to mine and destroy the environment for foreign capital who don't care what happens to the land? Do we know the history of this companys mining practice in Australia? Since 1994 there was never a major infrastructural development/project in our side of the Eastern Cape (Mpondoland) thus still forcing our people to seek employment in the mines. We have seen massive developments like Coega IDZ in Port Elizabeth, East London IDZ, Mthatha Airport refurbishment and upgrade etc. The recent Marikana Massacre left AmaMpondo with a very sore wound because everyone of us is saying "… in the very 1st place our people were brutally killed it is because there are still very limited employment opportunities back home" and what are we doing to change that? COMMENT: Are you again creating very limited employment opportunities. The mining, the toll road, the bridges (rather than upgrading the existing road system / network) and dams are not intended to benefit the Amapondo but to service the mining activities - to strip mine endemic plants and pristine wilderness that could create tourism in perpetuity for many generations long after titanium has been exhausted, and water supply polluted and used up and electricity sold at below market rates to capital. The local population would be able to engage with tourism, entrepreneurial activities and value added farming and horticulture etc had they had access to electricity or alternative sources or power, and access to water infrastructure? The Public Meeting: AmaMpondo have decided to call iMbuzo (Imbizo) of all AmaMpondo to gather is Lusikisiki… AmaMpondo from the following towns will be bused to the public meeting i.e. Lusikisiki, Flagstaff, Mbizana, Ntabankulu, Mt Ayliff, Port St John's, Libode & Ngqeleni to come discuss their issues of underdevelopment and unemployment. On the Agenda i.e. 1. N2 Toll Road… it's been more than 10 years on government and people's lips that this national road will be built creating tremendous opportunities for tourism and other sectors to create employment opportunities and since then no construction has taken place yet. 2. Mzimvubu Dams… there are 7 dams for Hydro Electricity (4700MW), Major Irrigation Schemes and Water Consumption (10 000 Mil M3) that has been on the cards. During the 2012 State Of the Nation and State Of the Province Address by President Zuma and Premier Kiviet respectively have stated that these projects are taking off but the people on the ground are not abreast with any of the developments and up to date information. 3. Xolobeni Titanium Mine… by popular demand AmaMpondo want to put this on the agenda, it has been trapped on some environmental matters. These are the main things to be addressed with the Minister and SANRAL CEO. I am available for clarity and comment 24/7.

There has been an
There has been an opportunistic revival of the hereditory dispute because current king and queen are perhaps opposed to mining that AmaPondo have resisted since first Australian application to mine in 1950s, and more in favour of democratic participatory processes that sup[port interests of more than foreign mining company and BEE alignment of interests. John Clark has an article for you that may be worth posting on this debate

Xolobeni Mining
I would like to categorically state that in in principle we are opposed to the mining of in the Wild Coat. The rest that been written and challenged about the public meeting is nonsense and rubbish and will not dignify with an comment.

Spokesperson for AmaMpondo says the People are against mining!
Prince Dinwayo has categorically stated that the AmaMpondo King and the people of his kingdom are against strip mining their Wild Coast for titanium. As residents and concerned environmentalists (of every colour and nation) we are very grateful for the outcome of the Mpondo ntlanganiso ("meeting"), and the People's wise decision; especially as It had been touted that the ANC government has deposed Paramount Chief Mpondombini Sigcau in order to force the short-sighted and extremely destructive mining outcome in favour of the applicants. There still remains, however, the threat of the toll road through the delicate greenfields of the Pondoland Centre of Endemism (PCE) that the minister of Environment seems so keen to railroad through. Building begins next year, I hear. Speaking for myself, I might probably like a shorter, faster road route through to Durban. But please, let's not for a second me misled into thinking that it's for the benefit of the amaMpondo. A fenced off, tolled, highway with limited access for the people who's land it divides is designed for only one thing: enriching the public private partnership partners (PPP p). The social impact will be immense! And devastating to the people as well as the environment. Have you ever seen the poor people between Umtentweni and Durban taking their lives in hand just trying to cross the road? And what benefit has it ever brought the residents there? How many taxis will stop mid-route for an off-chance passenger? None. Or very few. They leave the ranks already filled. Any argument that the road is for the benefit of the people who live on the land it will run through is purely fallacious and self serving. How is it fair that the Amampondo must have a toll road while the rest of the country has (reasonably) good and free roads? And how can a high speed "freeway" for people (or trucks enroute from Xolobeni to the smelter in EL) in any way be of any benefit to the people, fauna and flora, who's idyllic paradise the road will divide and destroy? The toll road is the inevitable precursor of strip mining to come. They will devour our beautiful land and impose full destruction upon the Amadiba (and the Mpondo) people in due course, if we allow the toll road to go through. The environment will possibly survive a toll road. The People and their culture will not.

Paramount Chief Mpondombini Sigcau 'Deposement'
Dear Jeff Brown I do not know how far back you have been a resident of Mpondoland or 'iMpondo' and how vested and routed are you in our history, customs, culture and heritage especially as far as the Mpondo Kingship is concerned. I would like to dismistify the mischievous myth that the deposing of Mpondombini Sigcau is linked to the mining and/or N2 Toll Road issue. The Mpondo Kingship dispute and claim dates back to 1937 long before the Xolobeni and N2 Toll road were discovered or even an issue. There has been a series of claims which all ended up in courts e.g. Nelson Sigcau 1938 - 1944 claim, Zwelidumile Sigcau 1978 -1984 claim, and Zanozuko Sigcau 2006 - 2010 claim. When the dispute begun Mpondombini Sigcau was not even born yet, no one should therefore narrowly link the deposing of Paramount Chief Mpondombini Sigcau with the restoration of the legitimate and rightful AmaMpondo King Zanozuko Sigcau. Zanozuko Sigcau did not claim Mpondombini Sigcau's position (Paramount Chief) but the Kingship that was left vacant in 1937 by the late King Mandlonke Sigcau.

I can't connect to xbox live in a hotel. Their wifi has a username and password. I can connect to the network but the network to internet connection is failed. How do you configure so that when the network to internet part comes, it automatically enters username and password?
Quite a few hotels, cafe's and other Wifi Hot-spots tend use a web page guest system to log in. If this is the case here I'm afraid you'll be out of luck as the Xbox 360 doesn't have a web browser. If you had a laptop, you could use a bridged connection from the laptop to the Xbox to connect it online. If you don't have a laptop and there is no wired alternative, it won't be possible to go onlline, sorry.
If the OP used a wireless bridge with a laptop, both the PC and the Xbox will be able to go online at the same time. The wireless network would still only see one machine, the PC would act as a go-between the two systems.
You have to know the username/password to get access. Call the front desk and see if they can give it to you. When you attempt to connect it will ask for that information only once for that network.
Xbox One Unboxing with a special surprise at the endMy Blog
Was my post helpful? Please give it a Like.
I have the user name and password but i think that it is to connect to the internet. When you click "configure network" it automatically enters the IP settings and DNS settings. You go to the tab for additional settings and I think that is where you enter username and password but when you do, the IP settings and DNS settings go away.
The internet service will have been given a name by the hotel so they can recognize it in amongst the other wifi services out there (sometimes the name can be hidden to prevent others from seeing it). Get the name of the wifi that the hotel supplies and add it to the wifi connection list. Or another option would be to ask the hotel if you can connect it via ethernet cable to save yourself the trouble.
You may be able to connect on a laptop or other computer, enter your password there, then set your xbox up to use the same MAC address as your laptop. Should be an option in advanced network configuration. Note - you won't be able to use both the laptop and the xbox at the same time.

Ambler Boiler House, Arborcrest Office Park Among 2013 Montgomery Award Winners
The Ambler Boiler House and the Arborcrest office campus are getting some high praise for jobs well done.
The two construction projects were among five recipients of the 2013 Montgomery Awards, sponsored by the Montgomery County Planning Commission Nov. 13.
Accoring to a Montgomery County press release, the awards are given to outstanding projects and their creators for the best planning and design in the county. The award is an acknowledgment of the high quality of work and the commitment of communities, organizations and professionals.
According to a press release, the Boiler House was the recipient of the award for "the successful revitalization and adaptive reuse of an historic industrial structure in a state-of-the-art office building that incorporates sustainable design. This transit-oriented project, once a brownfield site, recognizes Ambler's industrial heritage while advancing the borough's revitalization efforts and providing environmental and economic benefits to the community."

Pottstown's Mosaic Community Garden To Open Produce And Information Stand
We are happy to announce the opening day of our Produce and Information Stand!
The children of our youth program and several volunteers had a hand in tending the earth and growing veggies. Earlier this summer, they diligently worked to build the stand to bring the "fruits of their labor" to your table!!
On September 7th the kids and volunteers will staff the Produce Stand to sell fresh produce, herbs, local peaches and other healthy goodies, each Saturday morning from 9:30 AM – 12 noon, through September 28th, 2013.
In addition, we will have information regarding organic gardening and other resources to find out more about our local CSAs and organic grocery stores. Lastly, the public can learn more about what they can do to ensure every family has access to healthier food options in our area.
Look for the Produce and Information Stand in front of the gardens at 423 Chestnut Street in Pottstown, (you can't miss us)!!
Priced right for you, all of the proceeds from the produce stand will enable MOSAIC to continue to develop workshops and other fun, educational activities for young and old alike; while educating individuals in food justice and security. All the while, the young farmers will be learning sales skills, marketing and public relations.
Now, for a special thanks to our sponsor: Global Advanced Metals of Boyertown, for their generous donation and support. Global Advanced Metals processes a metal called "tantalum," found in Australia. Their core values of safety, health and environmental excellence guide the work that they do and dovetails nicely with our healthy outlook too!!
Local honey will be available for purchase as well. The garden has its own bee hive for pollination, tended by Lee Mauger.

Mosaic Community Garden Announces Beautification Contest Winners
How it all began: In the summer of 2012, Dick Heylmun, the owner of Pine Tree Hill Farm, contacted Mosaic Community Land Trust, after learning about their work in the Community garden on Chestnut Street.
Mr Heylmun, an avid gardener himself, conceived of the idea to offer prize money to people living in the Beech to High Street, Adams to Charlotte Street area for creating beautiful street-side gardens and plantings. He knows how pretty a block can be when the residents take pride in their homes and gardens and he revels in the joy and sense of pride that gardens bring to the gardener and all who pass by.
Mosaic partnered with the Pottstown Garden club to develop, advertise and judge the contest. Flyers were distributed to all the homes in the area while the Mercury helped promote the contest in an article about both the garden contest.
With only nine entries for this competition, the first of its kind in the core neighborhood, we hope to inspire confidence in others to enter next year. The gardeners chose one of three categories and most of the entries were in the "front garden and planters combined" category.
Two members from the Pottstown Garden Club, Nancy Toothacher and Karin Albera, accompanied board member, Gretchen Lea, (who is also a Penn State Master Gardner), and Laura Washington, the MOSAIC garden manager, as they set out one very hot afternoon to walk the blocks and judge the gardens. It was hard, yet fun and rewarding.
The contestants showed a sense of pride and enthusiasm about their creations, and had a variety of reasons why they chose one plant or another and why they chose to place them where they did.
Some plants have personal meaning, like beautiful memories and experiences of the gardens and gardeners we have known and loved -they are place makers in our lives. Gardens are often creative expressions of their creators. Knowing this, while judging makes the job difficult, but all the more fun.
Asking a gardener about their gardens is like possessing the key to a box, open it up and you'll find out something about what's inside.
The judges passed several pretty and interesting gardens along the way and wished that those gardens had been entered in the contest too. When asked why they didn't enter, a few folks proclaimed… "Mine is not quite good enough". Some gardeners can be too hard on themselves. Working with nature is not easy. Nature cannot be controlled. That makes gardening all the more challenging and rewarding. I beg all who dig in the soil to keep up the confidence to keep planting. Every garden is a unique expression of the gardener.
I have entered my garden in shows and contests, even though they weren't perfect, because others get joy in seeing them. It is rewarding to watch people blossom when they see what you have accomplished. It too is a great way to connect with one another. For me, gardening is a great reason to be outside and to work with Mother Nature as I try to express myself.
The Winners Are:
For Planters and window boxes:
Athena Singer 1st prize 352 Walnut Street $150
Anna Johnson 2nd prize 515 Chestnut Street $ 75
The Garden awards and prize money were presented Sunday July 14th at 5 o'clock at the MOSAIC Community Garden, followed by a get together with refreshments, conversation and friendship.
We hope you will take the time to walk through the neighborhood and check out the winner's gardens as well as all the other gardens that capture the imagination.
Garden by garden the Mosaic Community Land Trust's designated areas will blossom, as the first garden has done, with people sharing stories, recipes, making new friends, learning about their gardens, trading plants and ideas while enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Thank you Dick Helymun for your great idea and generosity!
Mosaic would like to make the Beautification Contest an annual tradition. If you would like to make a donation or take part we'd love to hear from you.

MOSAIC To Hold "Open Garden" In Pottstown
August 29, 2012 – Pottstown, PA – MOSAIC Community Land Trust is holding an "Open Garden" on Saturday, September 22 from 12-2 pm. All are invited into the Community Garden at 423 Chestnut Street in Pottstown to participate in a salsa-making workshop, learn how the garden works, and pick vegetables to take home.
"The idea of many people gardening their own plot within a larger space may have seemed unusual last spring when this was just a vacant lot," said David Jackson, President of MOSAIC's Board of Trustees. "We want to welcome the community to see the garden in action."
The Community Garden has plots being tended by Pottstown residents, including groups from Pottstown Middle School, the Olivet Boys and Girls Club, and the Maternity Care Coalition/Early Head Start. Hundreds of pounds of squash, tomatoes, kale, basil and many other vegetables and herbs are being harvested. Members weigh their produce and record it on a sheet; totals will be announced at the end of the season.
Garden guests on September 22 will be able to take home vegetables and herbs from one of MOSAIC's community plots. There will also be salsa-making demonstrations and tastings, along with pesto made from basil grown in the garden. MOSAIC is now seeking another site in Pottstown to add a garden next year. Interested residents can get on a list for next year's gardens.
Support for acquisition and construction of the garden on Chestnut Street came from the Pottstown School District, Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation, National Penn Bank, Genesis Housing Corporation, Susquehanna Bank, Lowes, Borough of Pottstown, Davey Tree Experts, and Andrew Monastra, Esq.
MOSAIC Community Land Trust's a mission to increase homeownership in Pottstown, develop community gardens, and support the arts. Their office and gallery is at 10 S. Hannover Street. Membership in the CLT is open to all; details can be found at their website at www.mosaiccommunitylandtrust.org or by calling David Jackson at 484-949-4235.
Art Blossoms In MOSAIC Community Garden Summer Program
Pottstown, Pa – Campers at the Pottstown branch of the Olivet Boys and Girls Club are learning about fresh, organic vegetables while keeping their creativity humming in a unique summer program at the MOSAIC Community Garden at 423 Chestnut Street in Pottstown.
About twenty campers, aged 10-12 years old, are participating in the six-week program. One morning each week they walk from the Ricketts Center to the garden, where they spend a couple of hours working on an art project and caring for their organization's two plots as well as the communal plots around the perimeter of the garden. So far the children have painted benches in whimsical colors, learned how to use binoculars from a birding expert, and painted birdhouses to take home. They have also taken home collard greens and had the chance to sample blueberries and cherry tomatoes while watering the many plants being grown around the perimeter of the garden.
Funding for the program, which was designed by Pottstown resident Hannah Davis, is being provided by Susquehanna Bank through Genesis Housing Corporation. Ms. Davis is teaching the art classes along with Natalie Cyphers.
"We're grateful to Susquehanna and Judy Memberg of Genesis for making it possible for us to offer programming in our first year of operating the garden," said David Jackson, president of MOSAIC. "We want young people especially to experience the benefits of gardening and the arts."
The remaining three workshops will focus on the life cycle of butterflies and making butterfly mobiles, creating mosaic tile stepping-stones for the garden, and making pizzas at the Ricketts Center with ingredients picked fresh from the garden.
The MOSAIC Community Garden is owned and operated by MOSAIC Community Land Trust, which is seeking additional community garden sites for 2013 in order to expand the supply of fresh vegetables and healthy lifestyle choices for Pottstown residents. Support for acquisition and construction of the garden came from the Pottstown School District, Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation, National Penn Bank, Genesis Housing Corporation, Susquehanna Bank, Lowes, Borough of Pottstown, Davey Tree Experts, and Andrew Monastra, Esq.
MOSAIC Community Land Trust (CLT) has an office and art gallery at 10 S. Hanover Street in downtown Pottstown. They welcome donations in support of their mission to increase homeownership, develop community gardens, and support the arts in Pottstown.

Blunt closed his speech saying it is "futile" to pursue security without liberty, and he suggested the Trans-Pacific Partnership would be one way to expand freedom worldwide.
It will connect tens of thousands of homes in rural Missouri to a network of vital community services like fire and police, schools and hospitals, libraries and government.
The competition for federal funds was steep. But our MoBroadbandNow partnership was a stunning success. More than $260 million will be coming to Missouri, which in turn will generate tens of millions of dollars in new investment, and create thousands of new jobs.

Ky. convict seeks DNA testing in 1987 murder
A man who has served 26 years in prison for a 1987 murder in Kentucky will have a hearing to argue for DNA testing on evidence that he believes will clear him of the crime.
Campbell Circuit Court Judge Fred Stine on Friday scheduled arguments on May 24 in the motion by William "Ricky" Virgil, who was convicted in the death of Retha Welch.
The Kentucky Enquirer reported that Virgil's attorney wants DNA tests done on semen and a cigarette butt recovered from the crime scene, as well as unidentified hairs and small spots found on Welch's body and clothes.
Welch, a 54-year-old Christian minister and psychiatric nurse, was found in her Newport apartment stabbed repeatedly and beaten. Virgil, who lived in Cincinnati at the time, admitted he knew Welch, but denied killing her.

It was such an efficient and calm night for Chas Dodd that afterward in the locker room, after running through a long line of reporters, he had forgotten about his second touchdown pass. It was that kind of game for Rutgers and Dodd — after struggling offensively, they now had the leisure of letting one slip through in a 31-6 Rutgers win over South Florida.
For the record, Dodd threw two touchdown passes and completed 19 of 24 passes for 179 yards. In his second start of the season, he played a game that helped guide Rutgers and ensured he would play a third — the Pinstripe Bowl against Notre Dame.
Best of all, on senior night, Dodd's parents were there to see it, after trekking up from South Carolina.
"It was awesome having them up here," Dodd said. "They don't get to come to too many games."
It was a more efficient performance for Dodd. Last Saturday in Connecticut, not only did he throw two interceptions, but he also made other passes that were off the mark.
"I think overall, I thought he made good decisions, his completion percentage is high, and he did a pretty good job protecting the ball," coach Kyle Flood said.
On his first touchdown pass, a 12-yard strike to Andre Patton that gave Rutgers a 14-0 lead, Dodd saw Patton cut across the field and into space and hit the receiver in stride as he ran into the end zone.
On Dodd's second touchdown pass, a 2-yard pass to Michael Burton that extended the lead to 21-3 in the second quarter, the quarterback was flushed out of the pocket, scrambled, then hit the fullback in the end zone.
"I think he's been a good decision maker in the last two games," Flood said. "I think he's triggering the ball for the most part on time. They did sack us twice. This is one of the more talented fronts we saw all year, there's no doubt about that.
"They have got some very good people on that front seven that are not easy to block. But I do think overall, he's done a good job of triggering the ball on time to the right people."
The offense benefited from a strong running game as Paul James rushed for 113 yards on 26 carries and scored twice. It helped facilitate the offense's success, Dodd and others said.
"When you're able to run the ball and build off of that, it'll help it run a little smoother," Dodd said.
Dodd also showed off the latest wrinkles to the Rutgers offense since he took over at quarterback against Connecticut. Rutgers again ran zone-read plays and even passed out of them.
"I thought he made some good decisions," Flood said. "I thought there were a couple of read plays and the run game, I don't know if he made great decisions on. But there were others that he did, and they produced some big plays for us. That's a part of the offense I think that now we have some more practice time to hopefully get a little bit better at."
