The project to replace septic tanks on the city's east end has taken another step forward.
Strongsville City Council at its Nov. 19 meeting unanimously approved the report of the Assessment Equalization Board tied to the West 130th Street sewer replacement project, and to proceed with the project as planned.
The project will replace septic tanks on West 130th Street from Royalton Road to Blazey Trail, on Webster Road from Royalton Road to 1,200 feet north, and along Royalton Road between Webster Road and West 130th Street.
The Assessment Equalization Board heard objections from residents affected by the sewer improvement who are on the hook for anywhere from $9,632 to $12,432 to pay for the construction and tie-in to the new sewer, said Lori Daley, the city's design engineer.
"The board didn't find in favor of any of the objections," which were raised on the grounds of financial hardship, Daley said. "Unfortunately, because of the Ohio Revised Code...financial hardship is not considered a valid objection."
In total, the project will impact 92 residents, 51 of which are actually North Royalton residents on the east side of West 130th Street. Daley said Strongsville will provide them the tie-ins to the 8-inch sewer, so they can connect in the future.
"The (Cuyahoga County) Board of Health will require them to tie in eventually," she said. "Strongsville will pick up that cost now, and will get reimbursed when those residents tie in."
Residents will have to foot the bill, as is common practice when public sewer systems are installed, totaling about $953,000. The amount per home will be $9,632 for residences needing a short connection, when the home is on the same side of the street as the sewer pipe, and $12,432 for a long connection, Daley said.
Residents can either pay the lump sum up front, or defer the payments to their tax duplicates over a 20 year period.
Using the current cost estimates, that averages out to $480 per year per residence for a short connection, and $620 for a long connection.
According to City documents, the new sanitary sewer will create 18 manholes, and is scheduled to go for bidding in January 2013. Daley said construction should start in March, and the city hopes to finish the project by Jan. 1, 2014.
It's the third leg of a series of improvements brought about by requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency.
"The City signed an agreement in 2007 with the EPA requiring us to remove 'illicit discharges' into storm sewers," Daley said. "A lot of times, the leading culprit is a failing septic system."

Marinol Dosage
Generic name: dronabinol 2.5mg
Dosage form: capsule
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Appetite Stimulation: Initially, 2.5 mg MARINOL Capsules should be administered orally twice daily (b.i.d.), before lunch and supper. For patients unable to tolerate this 5 mg/day dosage of MARINOL Capsules, the dosage can be reduced to 2.5 mg/day, administered as a single dose in the evening or at bedtime. If clinically indicated and in the absence of significant adverse effects, the dosage may be gradually increased to a maximum of 20 mg/day MARINOL Capsules, administered in divided oral doses. Caution should be exercised in escalating the dosage of MARINOL Capsules because of the increased frequency of dose-related adverse experiences at higher dosages. (See PRECAUTIONS.)
Antiemetic: MARINOL Capsules is best administered at an initial dose of 5 mg/m2, given 1 to 3 hours prior to the administration of chemotherapy, then every 2 to 4 hours after chemotherapy is given, for a total of 4 to 6 doses/day. Should the 5 mg/m2 dose prove to be ineffective, and in the absence of significant side effects, the dose may be escalated by 2.5 mg/m2 increments to a maximum of 15 mg/m2 per dose. Caution should be exercised in dose escalation, however, as the incidence of disturbing psychiatric symptoms increases significantly at maximum dose. (See PRECAUTIONS.)

Riddle us this: What are the Falcons doing in Class AA?
One of Section III's most fragile football programs has been placed in the same big leagues with the area's biggest, most powerful programs. Why? It's a moot point. What is, is.
Fowler coach John Natoli said he does not question because that's where the Falcons have been placed because of their enrollment numbers.
"The kids love football," said Natoli. "The kids love to play the game. They are excited about the opportunity."
The team returns starting quarterback Patrick Myers and receiver Jayshawn Small. Key returning linemen include Travis Cannon and Carlos McCarthur and running backs George Lawson and Omar George.

GSF Grand Banks scheduled to return to Canada after time at U.S. shipyard
According to Transport Canada, the GSF Grand Banks was carefully watched while it spent two days unexpectedly on its own in the North Atlantic late last week.
© — Telegram file photo
The GSF Grand Banks, seen here, was being towed out of provincial waters this past week, so as to undergo an assessment and some maintenance in a Mississippi shipyard.
The semi-submersible, used for offshore drilling, was being towed to the United States, but lost
its tow line Wednesday, about
333 kilometres south of Cape Race and 315 kilometres east of Sable Island, N.S.
"Transport Canada, in conjunction with the Canadian Coast Guard, closely monitored the GFS Grand Banks oil rig's location and status at all times while the tow line was being reconnected to the tug Atlantic Hawk," a Transport Canada spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
"Transport Canada's top priority was to ensure that the vessel did not pose a threat to navigation safety, any personnel involved or the marine environment in Canadian waters."
The tow was not immediately re-established because of the harsh weather and wave height, with waves reported running to seven metres.
The 99 crew members aboard the rig were not in any immediate danger while the rig was without a tow, according to a spokesman for TransOcean, the company that owns the rig.
"After the tow line broke, the crew of the rig used the rig's thrusters and its own power to navigate during this bad weather," said spokesman Guy Cantwell.
The GSF Grand Banks was put back under tow at 1:30 a.m. Friday, he said. He did not have the exact co-ordinates immediately available.
The lost tow line received attention after first being reported Friday by Rob Almeida at gCaptain, a site specializing in news of marine vessels and transports.
As of Monday morning, staff at the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board said they were aware of the event. However, while a drilling rig is under tow, it is considered a vessel and the responsibility of Transport Canada.
The GSF Grand Banks is destined for a shipyard in Mississippi, where it will undergo a scheduled assessment and have some equipment replaced before it is towed back to offshore Eastern Canada.
The rig remains under a two-year contract, with the primary contractor being Husky Energy. The contract runs into September 2015.

As anticipated, all 11 of the ACC's bowl-eligible teams found homes for this postseason. And as expected, both Pittsburgh and Syracuse went outside the conference's bowl structure to find places to play later this month.
Here's the quick team-by-team rundown from the league's record postseason haul. The ACC made a formal announcement Sunday night.
BCS title game (Pasadena): Florida State vs. Auburn. In the end, there wasn't much controversy. The Seminoles (13-0) are the only unbeaten team left in the country. The Tigers (12-1) have lived a charmed existence for the last month (see: victories over Georgia and Alabama) and dropped 59 points in the SEC title game. Florida State will have a chance to end the SEC's seven-year stranglehold on the BCS title.
Orange (Miami): Clemson vs. Ohio State. The Tigers (10-2) land the at-large spot they've been in good position to claim for more than a month. They'll head to the Orange Bowl for the second time in three years, where they'll face Ohio State (12-1) for only the second time in school history. The most lasting memory of the first game? The punch legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes threw at Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman late in the 1978 Gator Bowl that brought his career to a close.
Chick-Fil-A (Atlanta): Duke vs. Texas A&M. It would seem some politicking and arm-twisting led to the Coastal Division champion Blue Devils (10-3) taking the top non-BCS slot in the ACC's pecking order. Duke will be opposite the Johnny Football Show, one of the most exciting and scrutinized players to come along in college football in a long time. Texas A&M went 8-4 after entering the season with national title aspirations.
Russell Athletic (Orlando): Miami vs. Louisville. This isn't a bad consolation prize for the Hurricanes (9-3), who get to stay a bit closer to home than if they had played in Atlanta. They'll face the ACC-bound Cardinals (11-1), who finished second in the American Athletic Conference this season. This might be one of the best pre-New Year's matchups.
Sun (El Paso): Virginia Tech vs. UCLA. The Hokies (8-4) wind up with the trip west to face the Bruins (9-3). It's a solid intersectional matchup, and also provides a fine matchup between the stingy Virginia Tech defense and capable UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley.
Belk (Charlotte): North Carolina vs. Cincinnati. The Tar Heels (6-6) wind up in their logical landing place and will play in this game for the fourth time in 10 seasons (though in its previous trips, the game went by other names). They'll get the Bearcats (9-3), the No. 3 pick out of the American Athletic Conference. Cincinnati will make its second consecutive trip to Charlotte; it beat Duke 48-34 last year.
Music City (Nashville): Georgia Tech vs. Mississippi. The Yellow Jackets (7-5) will make their first-ever postseason trip to Nashville after dropping two of their last three games. Meanwhile, the Rebels (7-5) bring a stout defense into this showdown but also back-to-back losses to close out the regular season.
AdvoCare V100 (Shreveport): Boston College vs. Arizona. There will not be a better matchup of tailbacks in this bowl season. Boston College's Andre Williams leads the country with 2,102 yards. Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey ranks second in yards per game (156.0) and fifth in rushing yards (1,716). That's a compelling subplot for a pair of 7-5 teams.
Military (Annapolis): Maryland vs. Marshall. The black helicopters did not surface, and Maryland was not banished to Shreveport. Instead, the Terrapins (7-5) will make the short bus ride to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to play the Conference USA runner-up Thundering Herd (9-4). It is Maryland's second trip to this game in four seasons; the Terps ripped East Carolina in former coach Ralph Friedgen's swansong in 2010.
Little Caesars Pizza (Detroit): Pittsburgh vs. Bowling Green. After three years in Birmingham, the Panthers (6-6) find a new place to play in the postseason. For purposes of attracting as many of their fans as possible, this makes a world of sense; it's less than five hours from the Steel City to Detroit. Bowling Green (10-3) will make its second trip to Ford Field in less than a month; it handily defeated Northern Illinois in the MAC title game there on Friday.
Texas Bowl (Houston): Syracuse vs. Minnesota. All things considered, it's a fine (if unexpected) landing spot for the 6-6 Orange. The Big 12 sent two teams to the BCS, thus opening up this spot toward the end of that league's bowl selection process. The Orange will get a relatively familiar opponent in the Dec. 27 game; the Golden Gophers (8-4) beat Syracuse in both 2009 (23-20) and 2012 (17-10).

Orcas Islanders' response to Newtown school shooting tragedy
In response to the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14 last year, a group of 36 concerned islanders gathered "to reach a consensus on what improvements to local practices and attitudes we can make in order to lower the risk of an event occurring here."
The group was formed by Fred Klein and Marta Branch. The topics they discussed throughout a series of meetings included gun issues, individual responsibility, community caring and wel-lbeing.
They also talked about the need for strengthening family bonds, positive reinforcements for children, discussion groups, child and youth participation in community services and anti-bullying programs
After the meetings the group came up with this statement: "The group of 36 who arrived at this consensus recognizes the need for and welcomes the ideas, resources, and energy of our entire community.
"In our deliberations, someone coined the phrase ... 'Code of the Rock' ... an idea not yet defined, but offered as a yet-to-be-created means by which we express our attitudes and aspirations for a safe, vibrant, sustainable, and connected community."
Some members have committed to participate in ongoing, open forum meetings. For more info, call 376-5377, or email email@example.com using "Consensus" as subject line.

Results tagged ' Bobby Valentine '
Bobby V. weighs in on Yankees moves
This shouldn't be a surprise, but new Red Sox manager and noted sandwich wrap inventor Bobby Valentine wasn't exactly turning cartwheels this morning over the Yankees' moves to acquire Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda. That didn't stop Valentine from weighing in, as Ian Browne passes along:
"Pineda, when I saw him the first half, he looked unhittable," Valentine said. "Second half, he looked OK. [The Mariners] saw a lot of him and they traded him. Kuroda is a good pitcher [but] a year older than he was last year [and] pitching in the American League and not the National League.
"[Going from] pitching in not a great pitchers ballpark from a great pitchers ballpark. They're probably an upgrade from [Bartolo] Colon and [Freddy] Garcia. Probably, I don't know. It seems it."
Girardi: Bobby V. will add "spunk" to rivalry
Joe Girardi didn't spend too much time in the opposing dugout from Bobby Valentine during his playing days; there were the Subway Series from 1997-1999, and a few random Cubs-Mets series from 2000-02. But there will be 18 head-to-head meetings with Valentine and the Red Sox beginning this year, and Girardi thinks it'll change the rivalry somewhat.
"Bobby is a guy that knows how to manage and I think he's going to add a lot," Girardi said at the Hilton Anatole, where he arrived on Tuesday. "Bobby adds some spunk to his clubs, there's no doubt about it. I didn't get to witness him first-hand a lot, but Bobby has been successful wherever he's went. It should be exciting."
Teixeira: Bobby V hiring is 'great' for rivalry
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira was at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York on Wednesday to receive his Sportsman of the Year award from the March of Dimes, and weighed in on the Red Sox's reported hiring of Bobby Valentine as their new manager.
Reaction to Valentine's hiring: "I think it's great. I was joking around on Twitter and Facebook, I don't know if he's going to let me hit at his facility anymore in Stamford. I've been hitting there for two years now at Bobby V's academy and he's there a lot. He's a very busy guy obviously, but we'll go and we'll talk about hitting, we'll talk about baseball. I don't know if those conversations are going to be kept to a minimum now."
Impact on the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry: "This rivalry is great for baseball, I've said it a million times. It's great for both cities, but baseball as a whole, it seems like everyone stops just to watch those 18 games. Bobby Valentine is a great manager and he's a funny guy. He's got a great personality. I think the interviews either before or after games are going to be a little more interesting, and that'll be good for both teams."


text: Illphonics is a band that creates a musical sound best described as hip-hop fusion. They were formed in 2006 in St. Louis, MO, and by combining the varied influences of its members, they make a sound that well-respected audio engineer, Paul Hennerich, described as "P-Funk meets Pink Floyd". Already having opened for the Roots and Lupe Fiasco, as well as many notable alternative acts, the Illphonics are ready to connect with audiences as diverse as their sound. The band has just finished their second studio offering, an EP entitled "ILLUSION", and it has been released as a free download at Illphonics.net. And while they are always writing and recording new music, the band has also started to take their sound to other great music cities like Chicago and Memphis. The unlikely formation of the band in 2006 was initiated by Illphonics front man and emcee, Larry "Fallout" Morris, when he was an Audio Production student at Webster University. He decided to make use of the school's recording studio to record an album, and called on his U. City High comrades Keith "Bizkits" Moore (keys), Chaz "CB" Brew (drums), and Simon "Spanky" Chervitz (bass), as well as fellow Webster classmate, Kevin "Killa K" Koehler (guitar), to provide the songs and instrumentation. After four years of rehearsals, shows, and recordings, the band's music has evolved into something the band likes to call the "Illphonics Sound"—changing with each member's personal growth.

Not that I'm complaining about Pittsburgh. It really is an underrated city. Clean downtown, good restaurants, lively bar area - it has just about everything you'd want on a college road trip, minus the college town. Which got me thinking: What is the best road trip in the Big East?
It really is a tough question to answer. There are few obvious college towns like Austin or Ann Arbor, no bucolic campuses like Stanford or - my all time favorite - Virginia. The Big East really isn't the kind of league where you pack up an RV and drive to a stadium to spend the weekend.
Still, with nothing but time to kill between now and kickoff for Rutgers-Pittsburgh, here are my official rankings (football and basketball included):
1. Louisville - A great old college barn in Freedom Hall, a wonderful new stadium in Papa John's and a good old Southern downtown with a modern flair. Oh, and Churchill Downs. Hey, a chance to play the ponies doesn't hurt, either.
2. South Florida - Tampa has the sun, the beach, the Rays ... wait, who plays here again? Oh, right. South Florida! The campus is nice, but since most students are commuters, they roll up the sidewalks at night. Still, did I mention the beach?
3. West Virginia - I like Morgantown, and not just because you can have a three-course meal at a gas station. It really is the only place in the Big East where the school completely dominates the town, as it does in places like Chapel Hill or Auburn or Norman, Oklahoma. But all the rifles frighten me.
4. Rutgers - Feel proud, RU fans. You have a darn good college town in New Brunswick, and is it me, or does it seem to be getting better? Of course, the games are in Piscataway, but the tailgating is great.
5. Georgetown - If there's a better place to go drinking in the Big East than around the Georgetown area, please let me know. I'll pack my liver and meet you there.
6. Syracuse - With the Dome on campus and a downtown loaded with watering holes catering to students, Syracuse would rank No. 1 on this list ...if we could only pick it up and move it to, say, Georgia. Or Florida. Or someplace where there's not three feet of snow on the ground between November and March. A shout-out to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que as a must-visit each trip.
7. Villanova - The Pavilion is a great place to watch a basketball game, and the campus is very pretty. Plus, there's a pizza joint named "Campus Corner" (still in business, I hope?) that I remember. Cheap, late-night pizza without fear of gaining five pounds per bite. Ah, I miss college.
8. Pittsburgh - Again, I like Pittsburgh. Heinz Field is a pro stadium, though, and college teams usually get swallowed in pro stadiums. But the Petersen Center is one of the finest campus facilities in the country, not just the Big East.
9. St. John's - I have no idea how to rank St. John's. Clearly, there is no better place to watch a basketball game than Madison Square Garden, and no better city in the world than New York. Now comes the confession: I have never set foot on the campus. Do any visiting fans?
10. Notre Dame - How about this agreement: Notre Dame joins the Big East for football, and I'll rank them higher. The campus, obviously, is wonderful, but the town itself ... sorry, just not impressed.
11.Connecticut - Weird place, Storrs. Mostly because I can't, for the life of me, figure out why Connecticut put its university there. It was as if the founding fathers said, "Let's put our biggest college in a place that is near nothing and completely inaccessible by road!"
12. Seton Hall - South Orange is an underrated town (Cryan's - great bar). Unfortunately, if you're going to a hoops game, you never get anywhere near it. Imagine how Seton Hall would have been transformed had its creators made Walsh Gym 5,000 seats bigger.
13. Marquette - No school seems more misplaced in the Big East than Marquette, which is probably why the campus is ranked here. We are talking about road trips, after all. Has anyone ever declared, "Come on, everybody! Fuel up the vans! We're going to Milwaukee!"
14. Cincinnati - My only trip to this campus came on the dreary night that 9-0 Rutgers' BCS dreams were dashed, and I think that experience has given me a grim perspective of the place. That said, the WKRP jokes never get old.
15. Providence - Can anyone explain why the Big East offices are still here? Tradition, I know. But things change. This never does: Every mention of Dunkin Donuts Arena makes me crave a Boston Creme.
16. DePaul - I always forget that DePaul is in the Big East these days, and isn't that all you need to know? Allstate Arena is a bit of a dump (why not play in the United Center?), and like Seton Hall, the campus is great but if you're going to the game, you don't get anywhere near it.

KINGSLEY — Justin Hansen, a U.S. Marine sergeant from northern Michigan, was killed Tuesday during combat in Afghanistan, according to a report from the Traverse City Record-Eagle.
Hansen, 26, was a 2003 graduate and former football player at Kingsley High School, about 15 miles south of Traverse City. His family lives in Williamsburg.
He was serving his second tour in Afghanistan and also had previously served in Iraq.
In a YouTube video posted by UpNorthLive, Hansen's mother described her son as a person of character and integrity.
Hansen's father, Rick Hansen, said his son is a symbol of freedom and was "everything and more" that he ever wanted to be, heralding his efforts to keep the violence at bay overseas.
"They say in that song, the good die young ... Well, we lost a good one," Rick Hansen said in the video, embedded below. "We only had him for 26 years, not quite 27. I treasure every moment of it."
In the video, Rick Hansen's father also encourages people to be thankful they were born in the United States and asks that they step outside and shout "USA" in his son's honor.
"If I could hear 'USA' from Traverse City from here tonight, that would be ... that'd be awesome," he said.
As of Wednesday evening, the Pentagon had not yet announced Hansen's death, according to the Associated Press.
"God bless ya son," Rick Hansen said at the end of the video.

Market recap: Stocks finished flat, erasing an early rally fueled by the U.S. jobs report, as an ECB official said it isn't certain Greece would receive an aid payment next month. The drop in unemployment to 7.8%, lowest of the Obama presidency, could lift some of the clouds over upcoming Q3 earnings reports. Crude oil fell 2% after an early pop; Treasurys erased a two-week rally. NYSE losers led winners six to five.

Terry, what part of the unemployment percent being revised upward every release since Obama took office do you not understand?
This has to be one of best of times for America. Unemployment rate collapsing, auto sales surging, home prices accelerating. Good times.

HOUMA, Louisiana -- An Alabama man has been convicted of murdering a woman in Cocodrie more than three decades ago.
A Terrebonne Parish jury this week found Ricky Brown, 55, of Vinemont, Alabama guilty in the death of 23-year-old Edith McLeroy, who was found naked in a pond on Sept. 27, 1980. The Courier reports Brown and Mike Burnett were accused of killing McLeroy and dumping her body, where it was found several days later with a cinder block tied around its neck.
On Wednesday, a 12-member jury found Brown guilty of second-degree murder. He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Burnett died in 2008 at the age of 49.
The case went cold after Terrebonne Parish sheriff's detectives were unable to find Brown and Burnett or others who may have known about the crime. However, several people familiar with McLeroy's death talked to police in 2000, 2001 and 2010, providing enough information to reopen the case.
Brown was arrested in December 2010 and indicted the following February.
"I'm very happy for the victims," said Assistant District Attorney Dennis Elfert after the trial. "They have waited for this for a long time."
Brown said nothing and sat at the table as state District Judge John Walker's clerk read the verdict.
A sentencing date has not been set.
Carol McLeroy, the victim's stepmother, traveled from Alabama with Edith's brother, Greg McLeroy, and his wife, Nancy. After the trial, Carol McLeroy thanked police for staying on the case for so many years.
"I'm very happy for them," said Nancy McLeroy, of her family. She added that she was never able to meet her sister-in-law.
Authorities allege McLeroy's death had to do with the arrest of Archie "Possum" West, who was wanted on outstanding warrants in Cullman, Alabama.
McLeroy and West were married, though they were separated at the time of her death. West has since died, though witnesses testified that McLeroy had told police where West lived in Westwego, Louisiana.
"She had snitched his friend Possum off," said Viki Brown, Ricky Brown's ex-wife, during the trial.
Nobody testified on Brown's behalf. His attorney, Kathryn Lirette, refused comment after the trial.
However, during her closing arguments, she said there were a number of inaccuracies in witness testimony, including people and police who claim to not remember moments over the past 32 years.
"This is the problem with this murder trial. There is so much information that is not here," Lirette said.
But Elfert said that all statements in the case stayed consistent over 32 years, which makes the case against Brown even stronger.
"This is not about what the officers did and didn't do," he said.
During the trial's second day, Viki Brown testified that the defendant told her about McLeroy's death several times.
Mike Brown of New Iberia, who was friends with Ricky Brown in the early 1980s, also testified that Ricky Brown had told him about the killing and that the memory haunted him.
"He told me he was having nightmares; that he couldn't deal with what happened," Mike Brown testified.

Reading City Council Monday night presented a commendation to Raylon Corporation in recognition of the company's 60th anniversary.
Raylon Corporation, a full-service wholesaler of beauty products, was founded by Joseph Hafetz in Reading in 1953.
Since its founding, the company has expanded to service over 4500 salons in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia.
Raylon Corporation has been voted one of the top 100 best places to work in Pennsylvania three times, and prides itself on staying current and bringing the latest in fashion and technology to its customers.
Howard Hafetz accepted the commendation on behalf of the company. "We are honored to be honored, and thank you for the recognition. I'm sure my father, Big Joe, up there is looking down. It's been a great ride."
The commendation was presented by council member Marcia Goodman-Hinnershitz.
Mayor Vaughn Spencer also congratulated Raylon Corporation and thanked Joseph Hafetz for continuing to call the City of Reading home for 60 years. "We appreciate the fact that you have kept your business in our city for all these years and I'm glad that you were able to be honored."
The business was originally located on Penn Street, and has since moved to Morgantown Road.

RUSSELL Fairmount Center for the Arts is asking the community for help to keep the doors open.
The center is facing a premature final bow due to lack of funding, according to Jessica Leary Allen, executive director.
The fine art center needs to raise $50,000 immediately to make payroll and continue offering classes in the current fall session.
An emergency meeting with the community is planned at the main center for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11. During that time the board and staff members hope generous donors will step forward to help.
Students, parents, alumni, faculty and others are expected to attend the meeting.
"This is a dire situation," Allen said. "We have a very narrow window."
The organization's board of directors plans to meet Oct. 13 to vote on whether or not to close the center.
According to Allen, if the center is to be closed, the board is considering two scenarios. One is an immediate shut down. The other is to close at the end of the calendar year.
Housed in a storybook-looking building at 8400 Fairmount Road, the center has been a source of inspiration for generations of theater, dance, music, fitness and fine art students for 42 years.
In addition, some specific classes are held at satellite locations, including music classes at Church of the Western Reserve in Pepper Pike and Valley Presbyterian Church in Bainbridge, art classes at Gallery West in Chardon, voice instruction at Federated Church in Chagrin Falls, and theatre performances and classes at Mayfield Village Civic Center in Mayfield Village.
Allen emailed a letter to faculty and staff Oct. 7. In it she said the organization would not be able to make payroll Oct. 12. She said the board is working on a solution to pay faculty and staff for work they have done to date.
According to Allen, over the years the center has accumulated credit card debt and extended its line of credit totaling $55,000 in debt, some of which was used to pay its faculty and staff.
During the summer, an appeal went out to the community in hopes of raising $35,000, but the effort yielded only $8,000.
She further said an infusion of cash in August from fall class registrations gave the organization hope it could overcome its challenges without outside support. However, upon examination, the cash infusion was early class registration money and not new donations.
She noted the fall registration is up about 5 percent over last year.
On Oct. 8, a staff member said the timing of the news is devastating.
"Changes were put in place this year for us to operate more efficiently," she said. "We are seeing an improvement, but more time is needed to see the positive impact to the cash flow of the changes."
Those changes included a 15 percent cut in operating expenses and cuts to programming with major cash losses, including eliminating professional theatre.
Steps were made to reduce outside facility costs for music programs along with generating revenue by renting out the Russell facility for parties and events to increase revenue.
New programming was created in dance and art including mini-sessions, workshops and evening cafes. An auxiliary group, Friends of Fairmount was formed to help provide support.
Other efforts included holding a large-scale benefit that brought in $10,000 in revenue and writing grant proposals for more than $150,000 in foundation support.
Reached by phone Oct. 8, Ann Chaney, executive director of Valley Art Center, said the news is "disappointing for all area arts organizations."
"It's extremely difficult to keep a vibrant arts organization thriving in this difficult economy," she said.

The NJ Department of Community Affairs announced a milestone for its Lead Safe NJ program last week during Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week.
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is an annual nationwide event that focuses on raising awareness of lead poisoning and promoting successful prevention strategies.
On Oct. 27, DCA Commissioner Lori Grifa announced that the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund, which provides financial resources for all programs under the auspices of Lead-Safe NJ, received its 1,000th application. Lead-Safe NJ has helped protect 599 households from exposure to lead.
Lead is a highly toxic, heavy metal which can be found in a variety of places, such as dust, soil, debris and even drinking water, but is most prevalent in the paint of older houses, particularly those constructed before lead-based paint was banned nationwide in 1978.
"Because of the state's older housing stock and extensive industrial heritage, there is a significant amount of lead in New Jersey. This has left New Jersey residents, particularly our children, with a potentially dangerous health threat," Grifa said.
Lead-Safe NJ began receiving applications in July 2005, and has produced 331 lead-safe housing units, and helped fund the relocation of 268 households with a lead-poisoned child. Lead-Safe NJ receives funding from the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund, which was created by the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Act in 2004.
Cumberland County has seen the program produce 35 housing units and provide assistance to 33 families during an emergency relocation.
The Act designates two types of assistance: Lead-based paint remediation and emergency relocation services. Relocation services provide funds for families dealing with a lead-poisoned child as a result of a toxic home environment, and cover costs such as security deposits, first month's rent and storage fees associated with an emergency relocation.

Since this place attracts freethinkers I'm expecting to get both practical and oddball advice, but what the hell - something might stick.
The situation:
Husband and I have been married ten years and we have a nearly five-year-old. We get on, rub along, tolerate each other well. There are no blazing rows, but times are tough and we are run ragged by various unfortunate life events (long-term unemployment = him, unsatisfactory employment = me; homesickness = me [I'm an expat]; the joys of parenting a very challenging and bright little boy [both of us]). We love each other, there is care and affection, but we are no longer in love. I find it nigh on impossible to manufacture any kind of spark between us - not sex (that's not the problem, per se), but passion. I find it amazingly easy to project desire, passion and even that magical in-love feeling on to others, but not my poor, long-suffering husband.
The question:
How in a long-term relationship does one fall back in love once that feeling has gone, gone, gone?
The postscripts/constraints
We're broke. We're knackered. We have maybe two hours each week night and three or four at the weekend. Babysitting is a very scarce commodity. We are very different people with different interests, aesthetics and social needs (we share a similar ethical outlook and have similar life goals).

I have heard of trumpet players practicing 5+ hours a day. Is this really horn on face time or total time with breaks?
I have heard of trumpet players practicing 5+ hours a day. Is this really horn on face time or total time with breaks?
I used to play 3-4 hrs a day. I guess everyone is different, some play more, some less.
play until your chops are tired. then give it a rest for awhile.
While you are practicing, always take breaks that are about as long as you just played for. So say you just played long tones for 15 minutes, take a 15 minute break. That way you will be able to have a much longer practice period.

If it's anything like sports, at first you can't practice more than 1/2 hour and then you work up to an hour..... at the world class level yeah you're practicing 5 hours a day but you work up to that. Try to practice that much before you're ready for it and you'll just wear yourself down (which happens mentally as well as physically).
I topped out at 6.5.

sage advice on practice:
YouTube - Iverson Practice!
Time spent practicing is important. But marathon sessions aren't always productive. Practicing for the sake of putting in hours is pointless , unless clear goals and results are achieved. Simply putting in hours won't mean a whole lot without direction.
Don't concern yourself with trying to match up to others when it comes to time spent practicing. What if the other player is a hack, who requires 10 times as much effort to achieve the same results as you. If your honest with yourself, you'll know what you need to do to improve your playing. Sometimes that may mean some long hours. But remember, focus on improving, that's what practice is all about.
If your brain is turned on, it is possible to really practice for 5 hours or more. Naturally you may not succumb to the urge to blow walls down or cut glass.
The key factor is the ability to concentrate for that whole time, and that takes preparation.
Trumpet playing is work and we need to keep our blood sugar up, wear on the chops down, hydration stable (something to drink!) and focus on the job at hand.
If you have something in your life except for the trumpet, you could even be distracted - lowering the efficiency of the session.
I do occasionally practice for very long times, the juices are flowing, I am discovering something and have to try something else out, which leads to the next thing..............
This is not normal and only truly productive when everything comes together. Reality dictates that several 45 minute sessions are easier to deal with and do not put the extreme drain on our bodies! 5 hours like this is much easier to handle!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
All very good advice. Take it from these guys, they know what they're talking about.
A good practice session isn't like running wind sprints 'til you puke! Adequate recovery time is part of the practice session. It is kind of hard to explain, but we want to gently tire the chops to the point of exhaustion, reducing the amount of actual muscle tear-down. If we go by the feel, and not by the clock, our playing will benefit most from the practice session.

Dallas-based broker SWS Group said Thursday it will review an unsolicited buyout offer from Birmingham-based investment bank Sterne Agee & Leach.
SWS said Sterne Agee has offered to take the company private for $6.25 a share, or $203 million in cash. Sterne Agee Chief Executive Jim Holbrook told the Birmingham News this week that he expects the combination to create one of the largest regional investment banks in the country.
"The SWS Group board will make its recommendation to shareholders in due course," the operator of Southwest Securities said in a statement. "SWS Group shareholders are advised to take no action at this time."
SWS's statement said it had previously "received a number of letters from Sterne Agee expressing its interest in a potential transaction" and that it had rebuffed those overtures. SWS said it had lined up financial and legal advisers.
A purchase of SWS would be the largest in Sterne Agee's 110-year history as a financial adviser to people, businesses and governments. The combined company would employ about 2,200 people in offices from coast to coast and in most U.S. states. The companies, about the same size in revenue and workers, also raise money for clients through bond and stock sales.
SWS management can reject the offer, accept it, or make a counter proposal. Also, a second bidder might emerge to compete with Sterne Agee.
SWS's stock price on Thursday quickly approached the Sterne Agee offer price. Shares closed at $6.12, 24 percent gain from the closing price on Wednesday, the day Sterne Agee's offer letter was delivered.
Sterne Agee, privately owned by shareholders who include managers and employees, had no comment on the SWS statement.
Holbrook said this week the combined company would have annual revenue of about $750 million, be called the Sterne Agee Group, be led by him, and be based in Birmingham.
The financial advising group would have 800 representatives nationwide. Large offices for stock and bond underwriting would continue to operate in New York, the world's financial capital.

Denmark-based design studio Made by Makers created this simple Tea Egg for Normann Copenhagen. This thing is cute.
Denmark-based design studio Made by Makers created this simple Tea Egg for Normann Copenhagen. This thing is cute.
Fresh design delivered right to your inbox
I take that the one who wrote this post is a coffee-drinker?
A lot of these supposedly clever tea products are obviously not designed by tea-drinkers. If you care enough to buy whole leaves instead of teabags, you wouldn't stuff it in a ball like that. To make good cup of tea, you need to hit the leaves with hot water, causing it to move up and down known as "tea dance". With tightly rolled tea such as Gunpowder tea, there is simply no room for the leaves to expand. Not to mention how difficult it is to clean tea stain out of plastic.
Looks like one of those cute useless thing that a coffee-drinker would buy for a tea-drinker for Christmas.
haha I thought this was really clever and I'm a coffee drinker. For a second I wished I liked tea so I could want this. guess not
I tend to agree with @agora in general. Good loose leaf tea needs a lot of room to expand and release its flavor. Tea balls don't really work for that. On the other hand if you have cheap loose tea – tends to be almost powdery – then tea balls may be an ok thing. In any case I do like the design of this particular tea ball stick.
Ahhhh….. the quality of tea its very different if we use tea egg

Trying to reduce chronic bloating by experimenting with potassium and probiotics. I am very sensitive to dairy and could not find a single refrigerated probiotic that didn't contain dairy or traces of casein, so I had to settle for one on the shelf. It contains 14 billion cultures. I know it won't be as good as those that are cooled, but was it a waste of money or should I just up the dosage a little bit?
Also, for potassium, how much do you guys take? I think I may be potassium deficient, due to some fitday.com tracking, and symptoms of bloating, acne and fatigue. Each pill is 50mg, but I have heard that Lower carb folks should take up to 400mg. Any experiences out there?

MARYSVILLE — Santa Claus was a busy guy in Marysville on Saturday, Dec. 1, as he posed for photos not only at the Carabinieri Bar espresso stand for the "Passport to Christmas" and in Comeford Park for "Merrysville for the Holidays," but also at the Marysville Mall to help raise funds for the Marysville Historical Society.
"The fun thing about this is that we've had a lot of repeat customers," MHS President Ken Cage said. "A number of kids have come all four years that we've had this, but we've also had some newcomers this year, who saw the story in The Marysville Globe."
The Santa photo sales were supplemented that day by a bake sale and a raffle prize table, with Cage bragging that the brownies, cookies, fudge and other baked goods were all handmade by MHS members.
"With $50 from raffle ticket sales, $20 in goodies sold and about 50-60 kids who came in, I'm guessing we probably made around $400 all told," MHS Treasurer Meg Engelter said that afternoon, even as families continued to come in for their Santa photos. "By gathering up their emails, we hope to be able to let them know next year when we offer Santa photos again."
Engelter and Marysville City Council member Steve Muller, also a Board member of the Marysville Historical Society, agreed that the primary fundraising focus for the MHS remains its long-awaited museum and community center.
"It's going to be more than a museum," said Muller, who noted that the hearing examiner will review the conditional use permit for the facility at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 13.
City of Marysville officials and representatives of local service clubs joined MHS members in breaking ground at the site for the facility, adjacent to the Jennings Park Barn area, on Aug. 25 of this year.
Muller touted the facility's planned 200-person grand hall, which he sees as a means of turning it into a center of social and cultural activity, which in turn could provide its own revenue stream.
"We won't have to go out of town for our big celebrations," Muller said.
In the meantime, one of the Marysville Historical Society's most pressing needs is more volunteers, so those who are interested or would like more information should call Cage at 360-659-3090.
The Marysville Historical Society is located in Suite B at 1508 Third St.

New Jersey will expand its number of sectional football champions this year to 24 after the state's governing body for high school athletics passed a resolution that will allow 32 additional schools entrance into the playoffs each season.
New Jersey will expand its number of sectional football champions this year from 20 to 24 after the state's governing body for high school athletics passed a resolution that will allow 32 additional schools entrance into the playoffs each season.
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association executive committee passed the resolution Wednesday — by a 21-5 margin (with three abstentions), though not before a lengthy discussion — to expand the high school football public group classifications from four to five. Starting this fall, 160 teams will make the playoffs instead of 128.
The number of public schools in each section will be reduced, in most cases, from 19 teams to 15 teams. Also, under the new resolution, schools with a record below .500 will be eligible to fill remaining postseason openings, with placement based on power points.
"We're trying to expand the tournament to give more opportunities to kids," said Jack DuBois, the NJSIAA assistant director in charge of football.
The change may also pay financial dividends for this financially struggling organization as the number of postseason games will increase by 25 percent.
This movement comes five months after a proposal to streamline football playoffs and play down to group champions was narrowly voted down. NJSIAA executive director Steve Timko said group champions were not discussed as part of this current resolution.
"From all the discussion around here, that's not part of the equation," Timko said. "That has never been an ulterior or ultimate goal in this proposal."
Detractors of the resolution said they felt rushed into making a decision and it would be fairer to allow the full membership a chance to chime in.
"Sometimes it's more prudent to do a quick straw survey," said Paul Spaventa, the Gloucester City School superintendent. "I think it would be more readily accepted if people had some sort of say even if they disagreed with the final decision. There might be some ill feelings from certain sections if they have the perception that it's being jammed down their throats."
This particular resolution does not affect the non-public playoffs, which currently crowns four group champions. A separate proposal is in the works to change the non-public postseason system into a sectional format (North A and B, South A and B).
However, Monsignor Michael Kelly, the athletic director at Seton Hall Prep, suggested having three groups in the north because of the large discrepancies in enrollment figures. The advisory committee will discuss the proposal prior to next month's executive committee meeting.
• The NJSIAA is accepting bids from venues looking to host the individual state wrestling tournament, which has been held at Boardwalk Hall since 2002.
Timko said the options must be looked at for financial reasons. The NJSIAA last year paid Boardwalk Hall a $82,000 rental fee and $30,000 facility fee, he said.
"If our goal is to be more financially prudent we may have to look at what the best alternatives could be for NJSIAA," Timko said.
Timko said the organization is in the process of determining its needs in a venue for such a well-attended event and hopes to have sent formal requests for bids out by the end of the school year.
• A separate change may come to this year's wrestling tournament in the form of additional wrestlebacks. The executive committee heard its first reading of a proposal to offer a second chance to the 112 wrestlers who lose in the preliminary round of the individual state championships.
Timko said the finance committee is determining the ramifications of adding an extra session of matches and said he did not know if the organization could or would find a way to sell tickets for that extra session.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I am in a production of "Bye Bye Birdie" at Youth Theatre Northwest, and I want to get the word out about it. I am a senior this year and I have been performing at YTN since I was 3 years old. "Bye Bye Birdie" will most likely be my last show with YTN, so it is going to be a very important performance for me. The cast is remarkably talented and ranges from kids in elementary school all the way up to several graduating seniors.
"Bye Bye Birdie" is a hilarious and fun show with lots of classic songs and hopping dance numbers that anyone and everyone will enjoy. I hope that people will come and check it out. It would mean a lot to me and the rest of the cast to have good audiences, and I think that it will be well worth it!

U.S. gross domestic product increased 2.9 percent in the third quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of 1.4 percent in the second quarter.
In addition to the six 13,010-TEU Hanjin Shipping vessels to be chartered to Maersk Line, a group led by HSH Nordbank could also acquire another three ships and lease them out to Maersk's 2M Alliance partner MSC, according to multiple media reports.
The truckload transportation and logistics services provider reported a net income of $23.4 million on $280.5 million in revenues in the third quarter of 2016, year-over-year decreases of 22.9 percent and 6.5 percent, respectively.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
A bankruptcy court in Newark, N.J. will hear requests for modifications as Hanjin Shipping's biggest shareholder, Korean Air Lines, has postponed a decision to provide cash to the carrier.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
The President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, said corporate responsibility and moral hazards are creating adverse effects on its national economy and the government will not blindly support companies in financial trouble.

An entire New Jersey High School Environmental Science Team of teachers, and a Jersey-based forester, whose work has involved the likes of Rolling Stones' keyboardist Chuck Leavell, have been presented with this year's Patricia F. Kane Excellence in Education and Richard Kane Conservation Awards at New Jersey Audubon's 2013 President's Circle Dinner.
Hillsborough High School's Environmental Science teachers were awarded the Patricia F. Kane Excellence in Education for their careful crafting of a full-year Freshman program that deepens understanding of and appreciation for protecting our environment and all of Earth's resources. Integrating concepts learned at the Summer Institute Field Studies for Teachers, a collaborative program conducted by NJ Audubon at Duke Farms, the teachers led their budding biologists, ecologists and other earth scientists out of the classroom and into the field to experience actual conservation research, including biological stream sampling, ecological and sustainability field studies, and floodplain land use. Accepting the award for the team were Tracey Jameson and Kathleen LaCorte.
Forester Bob Williams received this year's Richard Kane Conservation Award in recognition of his decades-long work integrating habitat and species associated goals into forestry plans and conducting public outreach on ecological forestry. Long before many in the conservation community, Bob recognized and advocated forestry practices as necessary to stewarding NJ's woodlands. Bob also provided much guidance to NJ Audubon as the organization began to engage directly in management actions to conserve forested habitats. His Forest Stewardship Plans serve as excellent models to other foresters and his managed sites provide key demonstration areas that have been shared with public officials, agency employees and conservation professionals in order to increase the understanding of responsible, ecologically sound forestry.
Named for NJ Audubon's retired vice president, the Richard Kane Conservation Award is bestowed annually upon those whose achievements exemplify the profound positive impact local citizens can have in working together to safeguard our natural heritage for future generations. The Patricia F. Kane Excellence in Education award, also presented annually, is named in honor of environmental educator and NJ Audubon volunteer extraordinaire. This award recognizes an educator whose dedication has provided individuals with learning opportunities that use the environment as an integrating context.
New Jersey Audubon's President's Circle members are celebrated at an annual dinner which brings them together with senior leadership and NJA's Board of Directors. Verdant nature and monumental art woven throughout Grounds for Sculpture's 42 acres served as a lovely backdrop for this year's President's Circle Dinner. Grounds for Sculpture features the works of such distinguished artists as Clement Meadmore, Anthony Caro, George Segal, Beverly Pepper and Kiki Smith, alongside the works of visionary founder Seward Johnson.

30 Days of Twilight: Day 10 - Favorite Location
What/Where is your favorite location in The Twilight Saga?
There are tons of locations in the Twilight Saga, everywhere from Volterra and Isle Esme to Forks High School or the Cullen House to The Meadow and The Cottage. Even somewhere like Bella's bedroom is considered a location.
For today I'm going to say my favorite location is Forks High School Cafeteria because that is where Bella first saw Edward and The Cullen's!
Views: 1409
For me it's the lush forests and the HUGE tree that Edward took Bella up in the first movie. Sce scenery is breathtaking! I also love the meadow and the Cullen's home. It's like a wilderness retreat. It feels very homely. I adore Carlisle and Esme. I wish my parents had been like that.
As I adore Aro too, I also love Volterra and the clock tower Palazzo. Twilight psarked me to learn more about Italian art, food, art, history wine and culture.
I'd love to visit Forks and the surroundig area for about a month and have my heart set on moving to a villa in Volterra :)
They actually have Twilight tours in Forks and also Volterra and Montepulciano (where New Moon was actually filmed) LOVE to go on those!!!!!
I love the Cullen house, the cottage, Isle Esme, and the meadow. I keep thinking of more places where I loved the feeling of the scene, or the beauty of it - like up in the tree. I just love so many places! Oh and the wedding - loved the decorations! I just love Twilight and the feeling it invokes!
The Cullen's Forks property. If I had several million big ones to spend, I'd build myself a replica of it!!
I like all them yall name but I also like La Push
To be the meadow, and, Bella's bedroom, but all of the scenes were awesome. Its so hard to choose just 1. I was surprised several yrs. ago to find out there really is a town named, Forks Washington, and the beach there is rated no. 1, in the, United States. A lot of history there.
I, too, dig the huge tree Edward climbed with Bella. I also dig the doorway in Italy where they reunited.
The Meadow. That is where the love happens!
@Judy: You're obviously forgetting the first night after her change. I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the meadow... ;-D
I loved it when the Cullen's, all walked into the, cafeteria for the first time, and Bella, looked at them. Edward and Alice, both looked at Bella. The view from the tree was awesome, to. The meadow, is their private place to go to be alone, so have to have it as my favorite. out of all the movies, I Loved Twilight, the most, because they were getting to know each other, and trying new things, they could do and those they couldn't do. Edward was really tempting, himself, to know how far he could push himself.

What is in this article?:
- Debunking feral hog myths part of Texas education efforts
- So what are the facts?
- Damage is no myth
The population growth of feral hogs in Texas averages from 18 percent to 20 percent annually. Consequently, it would take almost five years for a population to double in size if left unchecked.
Separating fact from fiction is becoming a little easier as research reveals more about Texas feral hogs, but we still have a lot to learn about this exotic pest that has inhabited our state for the past 450 years, says Jason Ott, Texas AgriLife Extension agent for Nueces County, Robstown.
Ott debunks many of the prevailing feral hog myths in his weekly newsletter.
"Tops among the myths are estimates of the actual number of feral hogs in Texas, according to Billy Higginbotham, Texas AgriLife Extension wildlife and fisheries specialist. A common number that has been bantered about for years is 1 to 4 million. But there was just no data to support this estimate."
Ott said that changed when Dr. Roel Lopez, associate director of the Texas A&M University Institute for Renewable Natural Resources, recently used geographic information system (GIS) procedures to turn guesstimates into reliable estimates. "Using GIS techniques, Lopez was able to quantify first the extent of the feral hog habitat in Texas. He estimates that approximately 134 million acres, or 79 percent of the state's 170 million acres, represents feral hog habitat.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
"By knowing the range of feral hog habitat and the species population density in various types of Texas environments, Lopez came up with a population estimate that has some meat to it," Ott adds. Lopez figures the actual number ranges from a low of 1.9 million to a high of 3.4 million.
Exaggerated claims of feral hog population-growth rates are a related myth, Ott says.
"Many of the population guesstimates are based on a purely arbitrary number of hogs in Texas being set at 1 million in the 1970s. This number, which also had no research basis, is often extrapolated using another bit of misinformation: because of feral hogs' high birth rates, their population is doubling every year."

Q: I have been pruning my Hydrangea macrophylla in early spring, just above the third bud on each branch ever since I bought it. At that time, I also cut or pull out dead wood. This seems to work very well because I have full bushes of huge blossoms every year from mid-summer on.
However, much of the time when I read about pruning times, it says hydrangeas are supposed to be pruned in the fall, after blooming. Should I change my pruning habits?
A: If you're getting that kind of success, I wouldn't change a thing. There's no better guide than what works first-hand for you.
You're right about confusing information on pruning hydrangeas. I've seen all kinds of advice. Making it even more confusing is that different kinds of hydrangeas are ideally pruned differently and at different times.
Your type is the most common – the ones with those big, round, softball-sized flowers (or the related "lacecap" types with petaled flowers that poke out from around the flower head). Most of these bloom on old wood, which are the branches that grew the season before and formed buds the fall before.
If you prune heavily in fall or early spring, you'll cut off the flower buds that formed (or that were forming). That means few or no flowers this season. That's why most experts recommend pruning this type of hydrangea right after bloom (mid July to early August in our climate). You can still thin out overly dense growth and cut out winter-killed wood in early spring, but the general wisdom is to let the rest of the wood alone then. The best blooms generally come from buds toward the end of the branch tips.
A possible explanation for your success despite fairly heavy early-spring pruning is that you've got a reblooming or "remontant" type of hydrangea. These are ones that bloom on old and new wood, i.e. 'Endless Summer,' 'Penny Mac,' 'Dooley' and the new 'Forever and Ever' series. You can whack these nearly to the ground in early spring and still get good later-season flowering from the buds that form on the new growth.
Smooth hydrangeas (Hydrangea arborescens) and tree-type hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata) also will bloom nicely in late summer when cut back hard in early spring.
Like I said earlier, though, I wouldn't mess with success. Keep doing what you're doing.
