|Saffraan is in the mood
A week after the DHH day our next stop was a show in Drogeham. We scheduled this show for Saffraan to give him some more 'ring feeling'. He needs to show a couple times to become more relaxed. Because of my accident Saffraan did not get shown a lot this season. While warming up it became clear that Saff was again ready to go. It was a big class and they needed a workout to pick the winner. Saffraan never gives up and also this time he stayed sharp. This resulted again into a victory pass.

|Show Horse Magazines write: Saffraan is reborn!
Saffraan is back in shape! At the National Dutch Harness Horse day he won the first Manno-Trophy ever handed out. After a year of not being in a great form he is again right on the money! This is a great feeling. It is fun for him again to give everything in the ring. We treated a minor injury that bothered Saffraan for a long time. After this was healed we picked up the training, changed it a bit and the result is more then satisfying. We are looking forward to the next 'big' stop at the UPD.
The Manno-Trophy is a miniature Manno in solid bronze. My top groom Gerlinde van Asselt had a hard time carrying the statue from the centre ring to the truck. After lifting it by myself I figured why!

The well-known trainer Lambertus Huckriede has a new star! This coming 3 year old colt is by Saffraan and out of a Lorton mare. He is out of Saffraan's first full foal crop.
Lambertus; 'This Saffraan is the best young horse I got of the past years. It is a cross between Private Dancer and Trudalya (2 famous Dutch show horses, red). I knew from the first step in harness that this Saffraan colt was a great talent'.
Dr. Huckriede will show this colt the coming season. We will keep you updated!

|Winkler Prins Reserve at UPD-show
Last Saturday was an important day for RSH. The UPD-show was held; this indoor horse show is always exciting and famous for the good atmosphere. Many National Championship Titles could be won.
One class is always extra interesting and that is the 'Futurity Fine Harness Class'. Everybody looks forward to this class because the 'new' future show horses give their best. It is fun to watch and compare all the fresh futurity horses. We were looking forward to show our stallion Winkler Prins in this exciting class. Because there were so many competitors we first had to try to make the cut, this worked out fine. The final was 10 minutes later. Winkler Prins was super fresh and danced in front of the gate waiting for it to open. As soon as we hit the ring the people started to shout, that is always a great feeling. The judges asked 3 horses for a workout and Winkler Prins was one of them. In the workout he got more confident and gave a great feeling. The enthusiastic spectators made a lot of noise. That is what it is al about; excitement! Winkler Prins got sometimes a little too excited and made a few mistakes. He won the Reserve Title and got beat by an approved stallion. We are very pleased with this great result.
In the evening section I showed Saffraan, the National Champion of last year. Saffraan did not give the super feeling I'm used to with him. The class was crowdie and we were covered up most of the time. This resulted in an unusual low pinning. We are looking forward to Saffraan's next show and go for it!

|Saffraan colts out first full foal crop to Stallion Selection
After his approval National Champion Saffraan bred 12 mares. The next full breeding season was a lot better. Out of this first full foal crop we will present several colts at the Stallion Selection 2007. The young Saffraan colts are inside now for 2 weeks. We started the training lightly and are very excited about the quality of the colts. They all are pretty with good necks and a strong hind end. Below you will find info on some of the young Saffraan stallions. The pictures show them a week after they came in from the field. We will keep you posted on their progress!
The Saffraan x Larix x Renovo is a pretty liver chestnut with a great neck. His motion is strong with a nice action. It looks like he is going to be somebody! His dam is the multiple National Champion keur mare Piantha what makes him a half brother to our stallion Winkler Prins. This line produced many National Champion show horses and several approved stallions.
Zeron; Saffraan x Wilhelmus x Hoogheid is bay, refined and sharp looking. He had some starting problems but looks now very promising. Zeron?s athletic ability is enormous and his will to work is a great plus. The pretty mare Godine ster preferent is his mother what makes Zeron a half brother to Superieur. This colt won the Reserve Title at the Stallion Selection and got invited for the Central Test. Another famous horse out of this line is the approved stallion Talos.
Zaffraan is one of our favourites. This chestnut colt is by Saffraan x Sultan?s Great Day x
Zidane is another pretty chestnut by Saffraan x Wouter x

|Wervelwind goes to Central Test
Our Patijn colt Wervelwind was during the Stallion Selection one of the most impressive horses. With his enormous long fine neck and sharp motion he was the people?s choice. At the last selection round on February the 4th in Den Bosch he got selected for the Central Test. In the morning he blew everybody away and the audience was going wild. We bought Wervelwind as a foal together with our friend Reinie Tewis. Wervelwind is out of the Hiantha damline which stands for refinement, beauty and performance. His mother is the Multiple National Champion keur-mare Piantha by the keur stallion Larix. Wervelwind?s second dam is the famous Champion Hiantha ?keur? (by Renovo). Several good horses come from this line such as: Horal (NAWPN approved stallion), Larix (KWPN keur-stallion) and Tiantha (Champion mare).
Wervelwind will go to the 50 days Central Test in the first week of April. We hooked him already and this looks very promising!

|Saffraan wins National Championship Title Fine Harness!
|Saffraan wins also Stallion Cometition 2005
Yesterday we of RSH had a top day! One of the most prestigious horse shows of The Netherlands, the UPD-show, took place. We brought 2 horses; Van Oranje and Saffraan. Van Oranje is our 3 year old Futurity Fine Harness Horse. In his class there were plus minus 27 horses. The 9 best horses got selected for the Final. Van Oranje was one of them. During the Final he got invited for a workout and ended at an honourable third place. We are very pleased with this great result at his first horse show. Van Oranje will end higher if he gets a little bit steadier during the class. His talent is obvious. Van Oranje will be shown next season in the Futurity Fine Harness Competition. We will keep you updated as always!
The highlight of the UPD-show was the National Championship Fine Harness for Approved Stallions. Before Saffraan could participate in this top class he had to qualify in the Final of the Stallion Competition. Saffraan won all 3 previous Competition classes and a good result in this Final would make Saffraan the winner of the Stallion Competition 2005. This happened; he won the Final Competition class and received the Champion ribbon and trophy. Ten minutes later the National Championship Fine Harness for Approved Stallions started. Saffraan was in a great sharp shape. His frontleg action was incredible and his hockuse very strong and correct. After the line-up the judges asked for a workout. We had to show against the great Patijn but Saffraan gave everything and that was a lot! The crowed went crazy and carried us to the title, we want to thank all the Saffraan fans for that! Winning this prestigious title means a lot for us. We are looking forward to the Oregon Cup. (news posted on

The stallion competition of 2005 is reaching its end. Saffraan won all the classes he performed in so far. One of the best shows was last week in Hoogland. Saffraan always likes this show; it is a big outdoor event with a great atmosphere. During the workout he gave everything. Saffraan trotted to the victory with power, carriage and his extreme style of motion.
The Overall Final of the Stallion Competition is on September 24, during the UPD show. We will keep you updated on Saffraan?s performance.

|Saffraan foals promote their dad at National Foal Show
Yesterday morning we left our barn with 9 mares and their Saffraan babies. Our truck got followed by 5 horse trailers. It was quite a tour. We arrived at the showground?s after a couple hours and started to show the first baby almost immediately.
Only the very best babies of The Netherlands were invited for this National Championship. It is already a great accomplishment if you may show your baby at this prestigious foal show.
The day went very successful for us. In the morning the babies got pre-selected and the best were invited for the Overall Final. Most of the Saffraan foals showed their expressive trot with a good self carriage.
A total of 16 foals were invited for the Final at the end of the day. 4 Saffraan babies were selected; this is 25%, what a result!
We had 3 babies in the Top Ten and 2 in the Top Five. The crowd favourite was Arnaldo, Saffraan x Gitesse keur by Wouter. This colt has everything a show horse needs. Quality, refinement, nice markings and an excellent trot with lots of carriage.
We are looking forward to the next keuring season. In 2006 the oldest Saffraan?s will be 3 years old.

|Wando National Champion!
It is time for a party at Ritsma Show Horse! Yesterday on the ?National Dutch Harness Horse Day? our 2 year old stallion Wando became National Champion. He scored an 85 for conformation and 86 points for motion, an incredible result.
Wando is by the great Manno and out of the pretty keur mare Miranda. She is sired by the top producer Fabricius. The second dam is the preferent mare Hallee by the foundation stallion Cambridge Cole. Many good performing show horses come directly out of this line.
Wando was great, with his incredible neck and carriage he overwhelmed the judges. His motion is very correct and strong and his type reflects his quality as a show horse. With Manno, Fabricius and Cambridge Cole this young stallion has all the top producers of our breed in his pedigree. This makes him extra interesting as a breeding horse. We will keep you informed about his show and breeding career.

|Saffraan puts stamp on foal show
The foal keuring in Tolbert, on July 29, emphasized the breeding qualities of Saffraan. All his 5 foals show got a first premium and 3 got invited for the prestigious National Foal Championship!
The winner of the colts was Arnaldo (Saffraan x Wouter). This longnecked foal is refined and impressive in his presentation. We of RSH own this colt together with the breeder. The dam is the keur mare Gitesse who is also the mother to the Saffraan colt Zidane. He went to Nationals last year. The second place in the colt class was for Adelgraaf. This black colt is also by Saffraan and out of a Champion ?ster? mare by Waterman. Adelgraaf colt is also owned by us. He has an extreme neck and lots of motion. This combined with his coal-black colour makes him very eye-catching.
The first placed filly was a high quality chestnut Saffraan daughter out of a Cambridge Cole mare. Her name; A beautiful Day, suits her perfect. She moves great with an extreme front leg action. We bought her and are planning on showing her as a 2 year old. The second placed filly is bred and also owned by us. This upright and pretty chestnut is out of our former show horse Fhilda by Renovo. Both fillies can be a great contribution to our breeding program.
On the end of the day the Overall and Reserve Champion Foal got picked out, both were by Saffraan! The Overall Championship title was for Arnaldo and the Reserve Title went to A Beautiful Day. This 2 Saffraan foals together with Adelgraaf are selected for The National Foal Championship.

|Troonprins is hard to beat
There was a big audience on the Horse Show in Grootegast on May the 5th, the Dutch Liberty Day. For RSH this is almost a home contest. Our gelding Troonprins is still in the winning mood. He won his class with his extreme style of motion. Although the footing was not excellent due to the rain, he still moved consistent and strong. It is a privilege to own a horse like him, always ready to show and easy to handle. It is a pity that the legend Renovo is not around anymore. We for sure would breed our mare Lieni back to him trying to create a sibling to one of our best show horses.
On the end of the show there was also an opportunity to present young inexperienced horses in order to have them get used to a showring. We took our Blokland Shale?s son Van Oranje. Three weeks before this show we had to make him a gelding. One of his testicles was twisted; there was nothing what we could do about it. It is a shame because we were planning on presenting him again on the Stallion Selection. On his first show he was an eye-catcher and also in Grootegast he did very well. Especially if you take in consideration that he went through this surgery not so long ago. Look for us and Van Oranje on his first official show on the UPD in September!

The last class was held at 11 ?o clock at night. Everybody stayed to see the approved stallions show against each other, and it was worth it!
The stallions entered the ring one by one. Saffraan was the first one to go in. After I showed him a half round everybody already started to clap and shout. It was immediately clear who would win the class. Saffraan was magnificent! Every step was huge, with lots of action, suspension and power. We are looking forward to his next show.

At the International Stallion Show there was a class for approved DHH stallions. It was Saffraan?s first show after his light injury. He was as game as always, what a heart has this incredible showhorse! As soon as we entered the ring the people started to shout for him. The judges had a hard time and didn?t know who to tie first. Saffraan got better during the class because he released some of his energy. The speaker also made clear who he liked by screaming through the mice how extreme Saffraan?s motion was. It didn?t help, Saffraan ended second behind Patijn. It was a very nice second ribbon because during the victory pass the audience again ?told? who they liked the best! (news posted on

Last Wednesday the last change for an invitation for The Central Test was the 'Harness Keuring'. At this keuring the stallions may not wear an overcheck or be shod as a showhorse. Only a regular plate is permitted. We presented our 3 year old stallion Veldheer (Immigrant x Waterman). This black ? brother to Majesteit was the only one that earned the highly regarded ticket for the 50 days trail of the six 3 year old stallions that were signed up. The judges described Veldheer as: ?A very pretty refined stallion with stretch and lots of quality. Veldheer has a long fine neck with an expressive face. His front leg is long. He shows a good front leg action and has a strong hock use. Veldheer is extra interesting for the DHH breed because he carries no Renovo blood?. This makes Veldheer the perfect outcross, something we are waiting for, for a long time. (news posted on March 4, 2005)

Many Saffraan?s did very well and achieved first premium ribbons and Championship Titles. A fine example is the great Champion Zagreb (Saffraan x Jonker). It is the plan to present this high quality colt at the Stallion Selection in 2007. (news posted on

The first mare Saffraan bred this year is the top producer Dora (by Wouter keur preferent). This 20 year old keur mare is the dam of the famous show horse and breeding stallion Jonker (by Renovo keur preferent). It is an honour to breed a mare like her. The last couple years Dora did not gave birth to a foal so we keep our fingers crossed.
Last year Saffraan bred 130 outside mares and we are again looking forward to a busy season. The Saffraan yearlings look very good; refinement, quality and motion compared with a great carriage are some of the Saffraan offspring characteristics. We of RSH can?t wait to see the first Saffraan?s wearing leather.(news posted on

On Saturday the 5th the second round of the Stallion Selection was held in Den Bosch. Of the 22 DHH-stallions presented, 11 are invited for the Central Test.
Our stallion Vagebond (Waterman x Fabricius) showed his tremendous trot with carriage and attitude. We expected an invitation for the Central Test especially because he is one of the last Waterman sons available. Vagebond is a long legged tall horse (16.2 hands) with a show horse type.
At the moment we get him ready for the next show season. Vagebond shows a lot of talent as a harness horse and we are looking forward to his first show. Keep checking our News site for more info on his progress. (news posted on
|Good results for RSH at Stallion Selection
On January the 8th the first round of the Stallion Selection started at in the IJsselhallen in
Our stallion Vagebond (by Waterman) got this ticket to the second round. He is tall (16.3 hands) and stretchy. His long legs and neck make him a stallion with showhorse looks. Vagebond showed his open and strong motion with a lot of carriage. Vagebond is extra valuable for the DHH breed because he is by the deceased top producer Waterman. At this moment there are no Waterman sons available for the DHH-breed. Vagebond could fulfil this need and contribute to the gene pool diversity.
Another stallion we presented was Van Oranje. This son of Blokland?s Shales was the first entry of the day. He moved correct and sharp with a great self carriage. The judges decided to make him ?ster?. This opens the door to present him in harness in March. Van Oranje is already hooked and looks very promising. It is a natural talent and we of RSH expect a lot of him in the future.
At the end of the day all the approved stallions were presented. Saffraan was one of the eye catchers. His refinement and quality is something not many DHH stallions have, this together with his extreme motion make Saffraan exceptional within the DHH breed. Last breeding season Saffraan bred 130 outside mares and we are looking forward to the next season. The first breeders already contacted us and it seems breeding season will start soon.

|Stallion Selection 2005
The next Stallion Selection will be held in the first week of January. RSH will present 3 interesting stallions, 2 we own in a partnership.
RSH and VSH will present Veldheer, a ? brother to Majesteit. This beautiful black stallion is a complete outcross for the Dutch Harness Horse breed because he has no Renovo blood in his veins. His sire is the ASB Immigrant and his mother the black ?keur preferent? mare Diandra (by Waterman). A half brother of Veldheer is a breeding stallion at the 3-T farm of Randy and Glendale Tabor. A half sister is one of VSH?s most valuable broodmares. Veldheer is refined and longnecked. He is already in harness and shows extreme front leg action and show horse attitude.
Another interesting stallion that RSH owns is Van Oranje a dark chestnut by Blokland Shales and out of Parencia. This mare is a full sister to the show horse Pronkheer. Van Oranje?s second dam is the mother to Tasman?s Landzicht; the fine harness competition winner of 2004. Van Oranje is a super talent. It seems this young upright stallion inherited the talent of his father.
The last stallion RSH will present is the bay Waterman son Vagebond that we own together with our companion R. Tewis. There are no stallions approved of the deceased foundation stallion Waterman and that makes Vagebond extra interesting. Vagebond?s mother is a ?keur? mare sired by Fabricius. This damline already produced several Champion and Reserve Champion show horses. Vagebond is very pretty faced and shows a lot of motion and carriage. He is not hooked yet but his talent is obvious.
? We believe these 3 top stallions can contribute a lot to the DHH-breed. We look forward to the Selection and will keep you informed about the results. (news posted on October 32, 2004)

|Troonprins strikes once again
Last Thursday the unique Dutch Harness Horses showed their qualities at the beautiful indoor horse show of Zuidlaren. The show was held for the 50th time, a reason for our Queen Beatrix to visit this great horse event!
We of RSH took our gelding Troonprins. This 4 yr. old Renovo is bred by us out of our mare Lieni ?ster preferent?. To read more about our successful breeding program, please click here.
Troonprins developed this year into one of the best young show horses of The Netherlands. Every time he is shown Troonprins ends in the top honours with several wins. Also on this jubilee show he was the most wanted guy. Troonprins blew his competitors away and won his class with overpower. Every step expressed extreme action and strength. The audience carried him on applause to the victory.
This was the last show for Troonprins in 2004. We are looking forward to the next show season!

|Ugone 'keur' with highest score
On Saturday October 23 our Reserve National Champion mare Ugone did the IBOP test (for more info on the IBOP please click here). Of the 15 mares that were signed up for this tough show horse test, only 8 entered the ring. At the end of the morning 4 mares achieved the valuable ?keur-predicate?.
Ugone was the only 3 yr. old that tried to pass this test, and with success. When the judges announced the results it became clear that Ugone achieved the keur predicate with the highest scores of the day! For her ?carriage? Ugone got an 8 (out of 10), ?front leg action? and ?suspension? are rewarded with a 7?, ?hind leg use? and ?will to work? scored also an 8. For the important item ?overall picture as a show horse? Ugone got an 8?. With Ugone being 3 yrs old and expecting her Saffraan baby in March this result is very good.
We of RSH are extreme happy with having such a top-quality mare in our barn. It is our plan to show Ugone next year after her Saffraan baby is weaned.

|UPD great for RSH
On the weekend of 24-26 September the indoor horse show UPD was held in
|On the Friday we showed our gelding Troonprins in the Rising Star Competition. There were 3 clases of +/- 15 horses who tried to get a ticket for the Overall Final. Troonprins made the cut and showed against 11 other horses in the final. We were invited with 6 other horses for a workout. During this workout Troonprins got a little too excited and made a jump to the left. Hereby he hit one of the other horses so we had to excuse ourselves. This was a pity because we were heading to a top ranking. At least everybody saw us show and talked about Troonprins.
The Saturday was super for RSH. Our show horse Torpedo made the cut in the futurity class and he ended at the 5th place in the Final. Torpedo was eye-catching with his great carriage and expression. This resulted in many buyers waiting for us at the gate. Torpedo changed owners and will be shown next season in Fine Harness competitions. We wish the new owners a great time with this wonderful show horse.
The last class of the day was also one of the most exciting ones. This National Championship for Approved Stallions was thrilling! 10 top stallions fought for the top honours. The best 5 were invited for a workout and Saffraan was one of them. The audience filled the air with noise and Saffraan gave everything. It is a privilege to own and show such a talent. Saffraan became third behind Patijn and Manno, but the placing also could be different according to the audience and leading show horse magazines. We were satisfied especially if you take in consideration that Saffraan is much younger and inexperienced then the two horses above him.
With the third place Saffraan took the leading position in the Stallion Competition. The Final of this competition is on October 28, if Saffraan wins this class he also is the winner of the Stallion Competition 2004. We will keep you informed.

|Stallion Competition Hoogland victory for Saffraan
On September 19 a Stallion Competition class was held on the Dutch Harness Horse show in Hoogland. After our trip to the Renai Show I picked Saffraan?s training up. He enjoyed his 2 weeks of rest and in the 10 days of training he grew to a super shape. Saffraan?s trademark is his extreme motion and gameness and he showed all his qualities in Hoogland. There was no workout necessary and the first place of Saffraan was unanimous. The magazines talked about a ?super spectacular Saffraan? and ?Saffraan was a size to big for the other stallions?.

|Ugone Reserve National Champion 2004!
On the National Dutch Harness Horse day RSH presented one 3 yr. old mare; Ugone. She already had a very successful show season winning two Championship titles. We hoped for a Top Ten score at Nationals and that came true.
As soon as I entered the ring I could feel Ugone lit up. She stick her tail in the air and bounced towards the judges to show her great conformation with a beautiful natural pose. Ugone scored 88 points (out of 100) for her looks. The judges described her as being very correct and strong build with a great set long neck, beautiful face and lots of quality. By taking her first step it was already obvious that Ugone also would score high with her trot. She has strong snappy hocks and lots of action and suspension up front. Her neck comes straight out of her shoulder. For her motion Ugone also scored the monster mark of 88 points! This made her to become Reserve National Champion, a success to be proud on.
We will keep you informed on Ugone?s show career. The next stop is the IBOP-test in October. To read more about the IBOP please click here.

|Saffraan super at Nationals
Last Saturday, August 21, the National Dutch Harness Horse day was held for the 20th time. It was a great horse show with many good classes and lots of horses.
One of the highlights of the day was the Approved Stallion Class. Eight top DHH stallions competed against each other. As soon as I hit the ring with Saffraan the enthusiastic audience stated to cheer and they supported him during the whole class. That was a great feeling. Saffraan responded positively to all these fans and even got bigger. He was all show horse!
After the line up the ringmaster called for a work out; the first five stallions had to go again. Saffraan took off in the right gear?and showed his extreme high and open motion. It became clear that the first ribbon was a fight between Saffraan and multiple national champion Manno. It was not easy for the judges to pick a winner, it was a close call. This time they choose for Manno and Saffraan became a great reserve.
We of RSH want to thank all the people who supported us during the thrilling class; everybody who cheered their throats sore or banged on the rail. It was flattering to see all the people coming up to Saffraan after the class. Thanks for all the felicitations and phone calls! Watch for us in the Stallion Competition 2004.

|Troonprins spectacular
Uithuizen was the decor of a nice horse show last Saturday. The sun and bleu sky together with the enthusiastic audience made the show a success. For RSH it was even better. Our gelding Troonprins again was spectacular. His tremendous motion makes him so different from the rest. He goes extreme high and open. After the line up the judges asked for a workout. Troonprins was great. I could feel the energy through the reins. Just in front of the judge he break into a canter, too game! This made him end second but he was the talk of the show!

The weather was great and so was the audience last Saturday on the Horse Show in Wouterswoude. We showed our gelding Troonprins and he was spectacular. I was asked to line up as number 1 but it was not done yet. There was a workout with two other horses. Troonprins got better and better. He showed his extreme trot with flair. He gave me an excellent feeling. This got only better when the speaker announced that Troonprins was the winner of the Fine Harness Futurity class. Watch for us on our next stop Saturday in Uithuizen.

|Zaffraan successful on Foal Keuring
Last Friday the annual Foal Keuring of the provinces
We (RSH) took our beautiful Saffraan colt; Zaffraan. This top quality colt is the only Saffraan x ASB cross in the world. That his pedigree is not his only unique feature became clear at the keuring. The judges placed him first in the colt class and invited him for the Overall Championship. They described Zaffraan as an extreme looking colt with a great neck set and good carriage. His refinement and motion reflect his quality. The fact that Zaffraan is out of a Saddlebred mare makes him extra interesting for the future, according to the judges. Maybe this colt can play an important role in solving the gene pool problem.
In the Championship Zaffraan became Reserve Champion. Besides that Zaffraan also got an invitation for the National Foal Keuring. Again a Saffraan baby that makes great promotion for his dad!

After her performance the judges rewarded Unielarda with the valuable ster predicate. We are very happy with this result. Unielarda was obligated to earn this predicate by looking at her pedigree. Her damline is richly provided with predicates.

There's been some decent striper fishing lately, but fishing may be tough the next two days in windy weather. The south wind that came up this afternoon is supposed to blow even harder after midnight and into Thursday. Then it will shift over to a strong northwester for Friday.
There had been a great early jigging bite between the channels, but when Lynn and Annette Strouse arrived early this morning with their small boat from Atlantic Highlands there were no birds working --and no fish being caught in perfect conditions. Some boaters did eventually manage a few bass by trolling and jigging, but it wasn't what it had been. Capt. Rob Semkewyc, of the Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands had three great days of striper jigging before he had only one good shot of jigging today -- but ended up with a pick as two 20.8-pound bass tied for the pool.
The Golden Eagle from Belmar managed a dozen keeper bass, a few shorts, and some blues.
Capt. Russ Binns jigged off Island Beach State Park on Tuesday for two bass of 15 and 21 pounds blues up to 10 pounds, a 15-inch fluke, and lots of spiny dogfish.
The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant reports Bob Gieson led the way today with eight blues up to 15 pounds, plus a limit of stripers. the Cock Robin from that port had more blues than bass on Tuesday.
Gene Graman of Middletown got into bass from 20 to 28 pounds on eels in Ambrose channel on Tuesday afternoon from his That's It out of Twin Lights Marina in Highlands, but it was a lot tougher this afternoon with the south wind . Fred Fessell of Middletown and I could hardly stay in the boat on the ebb with a strong current. We caught two bass up to 36 inches plus dogfish before retreating to Sandy Hook Channel for more fishable conditions.I addeda24-inch bass release before Fessell finished up with a blues of at least10 pounds -- the first we've seen up here lately.

Miller bested Jim Campbell in the other semifinal, 3-and-2, Miller, a former assistant pro at the FDCC and city senior champ, took advantage of some miscues by Campbell to build a 4-up lead through six that he never relinquished.
Kevin Hinz will face Steve Tucker in the finals of the consolation bracket. Hinz topped Terry Jack in the semifinals, while Tucker knocked off Thomas Fetter.
In a match that could be the determining factor in the IGA Senior Player of the Year race, Palmer downed defending event champion Gene Elliott in the morning quarterfinals.

KALAMAZOO, MI — Along with the Kalamazoo Gazette boys basketball dream team, there are plenty of players in the Kalamazoo area who played a crucial role in their team's success.
Here's a look at the Kalamazoo Gazette boys basketball Second Team:
Tony Canonie, South Haven, Senior: Canonie's stats may not be eye-popping, but the senior's play was vital to South Haven's success this past season. Challenged with the assignment of guarding the opposing team's best player, Canonie averaged nine points, five assists and four steals per game. Canonie received a MHSAA Scholar Athlete award, one of eight given out in Class B.
Orlando Little, Kalamazoo Central, Sophomore: Little may only be a sophomore, but his play was crucial for the resurgence of Kalamazoo Central. The Maroon Giants recorded their best season since the 2011 state championship team and Little's relentless effort solidified the interior for K-Central. Little averaged 11.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
EJ Finch, Plainwell, Junior: While Plainwell struggled to find consistency this past season, one bright spot for the Trojans was the emergence of Finch. Already regarded as a sharpshooter, the junior took another step forward on the offensive end, using his quickness and length to attack the basket. Finch averaged 18.6 points and 9.1 rebounds.
Sam Nordquist, Parchment, Senior: Parchment coach Larry Bailey said Nordquist might as well lived in the gym with the hard work showed this past season. While Parchment ultimately fell short of the Kalamazoo Valley Association title, Norquist was the Panthers' most consistent scorer. The senior forward averaged 14.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
Jordan Born, Galesburg-Augusta, Senior: In his final season at Galesburg-Augusta, Born showed why he has been a 4-year starter on varsity. With the ability to score from anywhere on the court, Born proved capable of taking over a game, scoring more than 27 points in four games. Born averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.3 steals.
Honorable Mention
Hunter Lassiter (Portage Central), Daryn Snow (Portage Northern), Michael Williams (Otsego), Chris Pearl (Otsego), Evan Wenzel (Hackett), Mark Allwardt (Hackett), Brennan Heidema (Kalamazoo Christian), Parker Leighton (Schoolcraft), Caleb Proksch (Schoolcraft), Cody Howrigon (Plainwell), Carter Yaw (Plainwell), Devon Daniels (Kalamazoo Central), Jack Binegar (Parchment)
Coaches: Ramsey Nichols (Kalamazoo Central), Randy Small (Schoolcraft), Todd Meert (Hackett)

Krissoff has experimented in many mediums, spending the last few decades focusing on watercolor painting. "It is such a spontaneous and ever-mysterious medium. One is never sure of the final result, and an accident can produce fortuitous results…or maybe not. And so, you go onto the next one, always learning and always being surprised by a medium, which seems so simple and yet is so complex," she said.
Although Krissoff is primarily retired, she has had a long career. She has taught and lectured in art history, spent twenty-five years writing reviews for the Grand Rapids Press, and presented slide lectures to pertinent book clubs throughout the city. She also has taught in every college in Grand Rapids as well as University of Michigan Extension graduate-level classes.
For her entire life she has been an artist, and she knows she will paint as long as she can hold a brush.
Krissoff's paintings are in numerous collections as well as in local hospitals, and she has had many solo and group exhibits over the past forty years. Her work can be found at The Gallery at Cherie Inn, located at 969 Cherry St. SE. Hours are 7 a.m.—2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m.—3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

by Jeff Miller of Artisan Family of Wines (Seven Artisans, Sly Dog Cellars, Red Côte)
At least that's the title of the article by former Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons. I found it on Blomberg business week. You can find it there too at http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-11/how-to-own-a-vineyard-by-former-citigroup-chairman-richard-parsons
I think a better title for the article would be "How to own a Vineyard if you happen to be the former chairman of Citigroup and are worth hundreds of millions of dollars". And if you happen to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, whether or not you are the former chairman of Citigroup, this article may give you some insight on how to go about establishing a vineyard. Because if you start with a few hundred million dollars in your bank account, then some of the more annoying little things about owning a vineyard, such as selling what you produce, really aren't that big a deal.
Parsons starts his article by dealing with what comes first and foremost: "the first thing to consider is where you want to be." Excellent advice, again, if you're crawling in loot.
For those of us who don't have a few hundred million dollars lying around, though, the first thing to consider is, "How the hell am I going to sell the stuff?" The "stuff" may be grapes, or it may be wine, or it may be some combination of the two. But either way, you have some "stuff", which damn well better get itself "sold".
Apparently, it's not all fun and games, though. There's some hard work to be done. "I'm here in early October when the grapes are harvested. We pick grapes. It's fun. That's how you know what you have. I get involved in the blending, the aging." I'm glad that he knows what he has at the time of harvest, because I sure as hell don't. No one really knows what they have at harvest, although they can make some, perhaps pretty good, educated guesses. But I've certainly been wrong before, and will be again.
But Parsons continues: "I get involved in the blending, the aging." Not sure what he means about getting involved in the "aging". The only "aging" that I get involved with is my own personal aging. And I don't seem to be much more than an involuntary observer of that. As far as I can tell, my wines seem to age pretty much on their own without too much help from me.
But I guess, bottom line, grape growing is a pretty different experience if you're looking at it to make a reasonable return on your investment. I doubt very much that that was too much of a concern for Parsons.
So, at any rate, I wish Mr. Parsons the best of luck with his venture. Though I'm sure he doesn't need it.
I am sure that putting down big bucks to buy a Brunello vineyard isn't a bad way to start. I would guess that he'll make this small return on his investment, but even if he doesn't, I'm sure he doesn't really care all that much.
I just hope that nobody that reads his article comes away with the impression that it is remotely related to how life is in the real wine business.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Specializing in a raw hillbilly punk-blues style that roars like a modal, tweaking chainsaw, Left Lane Cruiser is a two-piece band comprised of Frederick Joe Evans IV on slide guitar and Brenn Beck on drums. The pair came out of Fort Wayne, Indiana but their sound has the swampy feel of North Mississippi hill country blues à la Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, with a good dose of snarling garage punk tossed into the mix. A self-released album, Gettin Down on It, was released on the groups own Hillgrass Bluebilly Records in 2006, and the following year, they signed to Alive Records. Bring Yo Ass to the Table appeared from the imprint in 2008, followed by All You Can Eat in 2009 and Junkyard Speed Ball in 2011. Teaming with James Leg, keyboardist with Black Diamond Heavies, the band released Painkillers in 2012, which also featured guest spots from bassist Jim Diamond and blues harpist Harmonica Shah. Rock Them Back to Hell! followed in 2013.

Welcome to the Department of Art Theory & Practice (AT&P). As our name suggests, we explore both the making of contemporary art and the ideas and theories that drive it. We strive to foster intellectual independence, intense critical dialogue and cutting-edge practices that push the boundaries of aesthetic and cultural experience.
Toward this end, AT&P has assembled a faculty consisting of widely exhibited and acclaimed artists. Their practices represent diverse artistic interests, traditions and media, giving students access to a variety of viewpoints. In addition, our Visiting Artist Program brings contemporary artists from around the world to campus to speak, visit classes and have one-on-one critiques with advanced students.
There are other ways our students become involved with contemporary art at Northwestern as well. The Department sponsors student exhibitions in the Dittmar Gallery in Norris Center, Northwestern's student activities hub, and at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum. The Block Museum's exhibition program is a great resource for students, as is its print study room. Many of our students compliment our curriculum with course offerings in neighboring departments, from Art History and the rest of the Humanities to the Department of Radio/TV/Film and the Animate Arts Program. AT&P takes advantage of the wide array of contemporary art venues in Chicago, incorporating visits to museums and galleries into courses and keeping students informed about current exhibitions and events.
The at&p office is located in
Roycemore Room 101 at 640 Lincoln St, on Northwestern's Evanston Campus.
The office is open from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

HOBOKEN – The Easter Bunny was busy this weekend in Hoboken hiding 10,000 candy stuffed eggs in straw for kids to hunt at the Mama Johnson Field on Saturday.
Organizers with the Hoboken Grace Community Church say more than 2,000 people from across the Garden State attended the Easter egg hunt.
Other activities included a games, having pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, face painting, and arts and crafts. Free cotton candy and popcorn were served.
"It was an incredible day," said the Rev. Chris High, pastor of Hoboken Grace, in a statement. "Hoboken Grace is constantly asking ourselves, how we can impact and serve other people. (This event) was another step in seeing that happen."
Carmelo Garcia, executive director of the Hoboken Housing Authority, said the event brings families together to have fun.
"It truly integrates the family of Hoboken and we are just excited that all these families are out here interacting and having fun," Garcia said.

Hank Schmidt, a 26-year craftsman and welder in ITD's District 2, recently passed way at St. Joseph Medical Center in Lewiston.
The following obituary appeared in the Jan. 17 issue of the Lewiston Tribune.
- - - -
Schmidt was born July 23, 1953, to Harry and Clarice (Feucht) Schmidt in Greencreek. A longtime resident of Lewiston, Hank died very suddenly Monday, Jan. 14, 2008, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. He was the oldest son, and third child of 10. He graduated from Prairie High School in Cottonwood in 1971.
He worked for the Forest Service for two years before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps.
He served two years active duty in San Diego, then returned to Idaho to work in the logging industry before being injured. He attended Lewis-Clark State College and received his welding certification. His 26-year career with the Idaho Transportation Department included positions in the welding shop and bridge and building shop as a utility craftsman.
He joined the U.S. Army Reserves, with his military service ultimately spanning 24 years.
He was deployed to Operation Desert Storm in December 1990, and returned in July 1991. He achieved the rank of sergeant first class (SFC/E7). He was a combat medic (68W) with his last position being a combat life saver instructor attached to the 96th Regional Readiness Command, Fort Douglas, Salt Lake City.
Service to the community was important to Hank. His reservist training inspired him to become a civilian licensed EMT. He served with the Lapwai Quick Response Unit. In 1982, he was instrumental in the development and implementation of the first adult soccer league in the valley.
This was the cornerstone that enabled soccer to expand into the sport it is today. He coached soccer teams from the Valley Boys and Girls Club and officiated for the local school districts. His soccer contacts over the years developed into strong friendships. His knees eventually forced him to quit, but he was always pleased to recognize his former players, especially if they still played soccer! He had grand hopes for his great-nephew, who was starting a soccer career at age 5.
Hank finally found the love of his life in Renae Dykes. They were married in June 2003, and this gave him a stepson and playmate in Jordan. At that time, Hank had to concede that basketball was at least equally important as soccer. Together Hank and Renae spent time remodeling their home and their gardens. Although Hank was not detail oriented, with Renae providing appropriate supervision he became a master handyman.
Home projects rarely occurred without misadventures, and a common response from Hank quickly became, "a small price to pay." Despite this, visitors to their home were eventually charmed with beautiful tile floors, marble showers, granite countertops, geraniums, tomato plants, and multi-colored dahlias. They enjoyed traveling together, whether it was actual vacations or road trips to watch Jordan play ball. Their last trip was to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, where they really enjoyed just walking through the fields and bickering over whose picture would be taken!
Hank was the ultimate prankster. Without children of his own, he tortured and tormented his brothers and sisters, then his nieces and nephews, by wrestling, tickling, stealing food, and any other activities he could think of. He rarely called any of his family members by their real names, assigning each of them unique nicknames. He was an equal opportunity jokester, and loved it when the little ones planned to "torture" him in return. When he became a stepdad to a 14-year-old son, he was in heaven, with daily opportunities to tease and torment Jordan.
When Jordan grew to a height of 6-foot-7, Hank abruptly stopped wrestling, but verbally insisted that he was tougher, stronger and meaner, and that Jordan would never forget it! Beating Hank at any of his favorite games (pinochle, crazy eights, trivial pursuit, chess) would ensure that "torture time" was in order.
Hank was a staunch Democrat, and would debate political issues with great gusto. In fact, family members state the only way to get Hank's temper up was to support any Republican platform.
Hank had a special affection for animals, and had a unique talent for training dogs to climb the willow tree in the front yard. One of the few real fights between Hank and Renae was whether to build a fence to keep "the girls" in the yard. Hank just preferred to take them along wherever he went.
is survived by his adored wife Renae and stepson Jordan Gregg; his much
loved mother-in-law, LeeEllen Dykes; his brothers, Duane and Becky,
(Jenni and Craig Heimgartner, Tyler) and Monte and Johanne (DJ, Leah,
Eve, Miccie) of Lewiston, John and Diana (Jeremy, Chandi) of Grangeville,
and Phil and Rhonda (Chris, Keely, Carson) of Greencreek; his sisters,
Linda Dalton of San Francisco, Joann and Gene Hollandsworth (Clay, LeAnn,
his goddaughter) and Debby Schmidt of Tacoma, and Ruth Moody (Jason
and Melanie, Justin, Kelcee) of Spokane; great-nephew, Garrett Heimgartner;
great-nieces, Abby Heimgartner, Brittney Callahan, Rachael Moody; his
uncles, Louis Schmidt of Cottonwood, Don and Laura Feucht of Culdesac,
Marvin and Luella Feucht of Lewiston; his aunts, Joan and Herb Stubbers
and Marge and Ambrose Schumacher of Greencreek, Vonne Ringle of Portland,
Ore., Barb and Mike Broncheau of Post Falls, Idaho, Betty Wessels of
Dayton, Wash., Dorothy Schmidt and Carol Toennis of Cottonwood, Gertrude
Schmidt of Asotin; and, being from a good Catholic family, hordes of
Memorial contributions in Hank's name may be made to Lapwai Valley Quick Response Unit, Valley Boys and Girls Club, or the "I Am An American" General Fund Memorial at the Idaho Veterans Home in Lewiston. Hank would probably add, "Enjoy the wine and the flowers, and say "I love you."

I believe Syracuse earned itself a No. 4 seed in the tournament as a result of its strong showing at the Big East Tournament along with its credible strength of schedule and non-conference wins over Memphis, Kansas and Florida.
I also believe three Big East teams should receive No. 1 seeds; those teams being Louisville, Pittsburgh and Connecticut.
In that case, Syracuse would have to be bracketed with the fourth No. 1 seed, which would be North Carolina. I'm thinking the NCAA selection committee will put the Tar Heels in the East Region and start them out in Greensboro. That would mean a potential Sweet 16 game between Syracuse and North Carolina in Boston.
In the event that Connecticut gets a No. 2 seed and the committee awards Memphis a No. 1, I still think Syracuse gets bracketed with North Carolina. It's not a hard and fast rule, but the committee tries to avoid repeats of regular season matchups and Syracuse played Memphis at Memphis earlier this season.
We'll see if I'm right, but it's a scenario that made too much sense as I tried to go to sleep last night at 2:15 a.m.

Metal jewelry artist Thomas Mann of New Orleans has been selected to create unique designs for Family Service of Greater New Orleans' annual "Ten Outstanding Persons Gala" to honor people who have made exceptional contributions to volunteerism, civic leadership and philanthropy in our community.
The gala will be held Oct. 23at the Pavilion of the Two Sisters in City Park. The honor has come to be called the "Open Door" Award. By unlocking a door to their hearts, these people have opened new opportunities to others, officials said.
To create tangible symbols of the key and the door, gala co-chairman and board member Michael Liebaert asked Kirk Stirton, a member of the Arts Council of New Orleans for guidance. Stirton suggested Mann, who is known for similar design imagery to create an exclusive, limited edition pin.
"Hearts, hands, houses and keys have long played a role in my designs due to their status as humanistic icons charged with meaning and emotion," Mann said recently.
Understanding that the mission of Family Service is supporting individuals and families in the greater New Orleans area, Mann had an antique-style bronze heart-shaped key, with "F.S. Nola" sculpted into the heart, cast from his hand-carved original. It also symbolically features a stylized New Orleans street car for the key teeth. Mann's unique design serves as the award that will be given to the honorees at the gala.
A second design – a nickel and brass lapel pin in the shape of an open door with a tiny decorative key – was created for patrons who help support Family Service of Greater New Orleans. All pins are signed by the artist and are only available through Family Service.
People who will be honored at the gala are Robert Becker, Karen Bollinger DeSalvo, Scott Cowen, Ti Martin, Sonia Perez, Anthony Recasner, Dorothy "Dottie" Reese, Carroll Wilson Suggs, Tommie Vassel and Guy Williams.
