Decatur in district hoops tourney
By CASEY OLSON
The Mirror
The Decatur Gators boys basketball team knew what had to happen at the South Puget Sound League Tournament. Two wins and their season continues. A loss and their season was done. Misson accomplished.
The Gators won their second loser-out game Saturday morning over the Bethel Braves, 60-41. The win gave Decatur the SPSLs seventh, and final, seed into the West Central/Southwest District Tournament. Decatur was forced into the must-win game against the Braves (19-10) after finishing fourth in the SPSL South during the regular season.
We put ourselves in these two loser-out games, said Decatur head coach Kevin Olson. So we had to get ourselves out of it.
The Gators did just that in the win over Bethel. Decatur never trailed in the game and were in control the entire 32 minutes. It was the third meeting between the two teams this season. The Braves and Gators split their two games during the SPSL South regular season.
We knew we couldnt take Bethel for granted, Kim said. We knew we had to come out and play our game. But we did feel more comfortable with Bethel. We knew their personnel.
Kim had another solid game for the Gators.
The senior point guard finished with 19 points and set the tone early in the game with his long-range shooting and penetration. Sophomore guard Marcus Tibbs chipped in 14 points and senior JaRon Brown tallied 10 for the Gators.
Decatur rolled to a 14-5 lead after the first quarter and led 27-21 at the half. But the Gators put the young and inexperienced Braves away with a 17-6 third quarter to take a 44-27 lead into the fourth.
This is the first postseason for any of our guys, Olson said. Now we know what to expect.
The Gators wont get any breaks at the district tournament. Decatur opens up play tonight in Port Orchard against the second-ranked South Kitsap Wolves. South Kitsap blew away Mount Tahoma in the Narrows League championship game Saturday night to earn the leagues No. 1 seed. The Wolves enter the game with a 20-1 record and feature a balanced inside-outside scoring attack.
We know we are the underdogs, Kim said. But we can beat any team. Weve proved that. Its a lot easier to be the underdogs because nobody expects anything from you. We are ready for anyone. We want to shock the world.
Federal Way boys
The Eagles werent really tested against Kentridge Saturday at the SPSL Tournament. Federal Way downed the Chargers, 63-47, to earn the leagues third seed to districts.
The Eagles will host the Mountain View Thunder at 7 p.m. tonight. Mountain View (16-7) finished second in the Greater St. Helens League Tournament. Its the same game Federal Way played a season ago.
As the third seed from the SPSL in 2005, the Eagles opened against the second-place team from the GSHL and lost in overtime to Prairie on their home court, putting their backs against the wall in the double-elimination district tournament. Federal Way eventually lost to Curtis in a winner-to-state, loser-out game.
Against Kentridge, the Eagles rolled out to a 7-0 lead three minutes into the game and never looked back. The Chargers (15-6) played without their leading scorer, sophomore forward Renado Parker. He was academically ineligible for the third game in a row.
Federal Way was led by a combined 47 points from Terrell Smith and Pooh Williams. Smith tallied 24 and Williams chipped in 23.
The Eagles led 17-7 after the first quarter and 31-22 at halftime.

Online Cooking Games Are Creating Quite a Buzz
What is it about online cooking games that are creating such a buzz? Kids of all ages really like to play them. To be honest with you, many adults get a kick out of them too. They are just like video games with the goal being to cook something or to create something. Many of them require skills to make the products correctly and to also get them done in a hurry. As your skills improve you are able to move on to harder levels and that keeps the games thrilling.
The fact that there are so many different types of these games on the site means that hours and hours of fun can be had. These games are all free too which is refreshing. Why pay for home gaming console cooking games when you can access them for free? The fun characters in them as well as the graphics are just as good as what you would get paying for them.
New cooking games are added all the time too. If you or your kids and girls play them often then you will definitely want to try out the new ones. The rules for playing addictive games are all explained too so there isn't any guess work involve. However, it can take some time to work out a strategy that works well.
Online cooking games aren't the only ones creating a buzz though. Many girls love to play dress up games from dress up games. They get to step into the role of creating lovely designs for the characters to wear on a variety of events including vacation to the beach. Finding the right scenario that is of interest means that they can mix and match items offered again and again until they have exhausted all of them.
Why not take the idea of dressing up a step further? This is what they can do with makeovers too at makeover games. Here they can add make up, jewelry, sunglasses, and other accessories. They also get to choose the color of the eyes, the style of eyelashes and more.
The internet offers plenty of fun ways for kids to have fun. With cooking games like I mentioned above, many of them are asking for more computer time. Any of these fun games though are a great way for them to be creative and to enjoy their free time.

Four months after a road-rage incident in northeast Mesa, police have concluded that a veteran officer was to blame, not the man he arrested.
Aggravated-assault charges against Randy Smyers were dropped after an investigation found inconsistencies in statements by Sgt. Mike Duke, who was off-duty when the incident occurred.
Mesa Police Chief Frank Milstead said Friday that police believe it was Duke who landed the first blow during the incident. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is reviewing the investigation, which was handled by Scottsdale police to avoid a conflict of interest, and will decide whether Duke will be charged with any crimes.
"This conduct falls far below the standards of the police department and the community,'' Milstead said. "We were less than accurate in the reporting of this original incident.''
Milstead said any disciplinary action against Duke would be determined after the County Attorney's decision and the completion of an internal-affairs investigation.
"Mike Duke served the police department for 19 years," Milstead said. "What happened this day was very unfortunate and it will probably change his life forever.'
Jerry Cobb, spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, confirmed that his office has received an investigative report from the Scottsdale police. He said the matter is under review and no charges have been filed.
But the Mesa Police Association, which represents Duke, said Duke was driving off-duty on a Sunday morning to an urgent-care center with his three sons "when he encountered an aggressive man engaging in road rage.''
The MPA press release said Smyers stopped his car in the middle of a street and approached Duke's car "in a threatening manner.''
The MPA said Duke was in pain and that he acted to protect himself, his children and the public's safety. Duke had suffered a knee injury while playing baseball and was driving to an urgent-care facility to seek medical treatment.
"Officers are compelled to act on and off duty,'' Sgt. Ryan Russell, president of the association, said in a statement. "Sgt. Duke could have fled the area, but I don't think that's what the public expects of their police officers. Duke clearly felt his children and the public were threatened by Randy Smyer's erratic actions.''
The incident occurred about 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 18. According to court documents released at the time, Smyers became angry because he felt that Duke was tailgating him in his van, according to court document released by police after the incident.
Duke identified himself as a police officer and asked Smyers twice to move his car, but Smyers refused, shouted profanities at Duke and walked toward Duke's van, the report said.
But on a 911 tape released Friday by the department, it is Duke that is heard yelling profanities at Smyers, while Smyers asks Duke several times to identify himself.
"My ID's my gun, (expletive deleted),'' Duke told Smyers at one point. "I'll shoot you.''
Jerry Smyers, Randy's brother, told police that Randy just wanted Duke to drive around him when he stopped his pickup in the street, according to a police report.
Duke and Randy Smyers eventually got into a fight, during which Smyers suffered facial injuries and Duke injured his knee, the report said.
Debbie Spinner, Mesa's city attorney, said the city decided to negotiate a financial settlement with Randy and Jerry Smyers after they filed a notice of claim, a legal requirement before a lawsuit can be filed against a city.
Spinner said the settlements have not been completed.
A deputy city attorney said Mesa reached a $62,500 settlement with Jerry Smyers and negotiations with Randy Smyers are ongoing.
The police association said Duke's duties have included serving as a gang detective and gang-enforcement sergeant.

To consolidate bookmarks for internet users with multiple browsers can be accomplished with various 3rd-party applications. If you are like most PC internet users, you have Internet Explorer (IE) and most likely a favored browser as well. Or if you are an Apple user, you have Safari, and maybe a favored browser as well.
With multiple browsers comes multiple sets of bookmarks — and never are the two the same. Usually ending up in some very messy and hard to use library of bookmarks. We are going to focus on one application that not only consolidates them for you, but your bookmarks will be available on any browser you use.
Centralizes and Consolidates
First the consolidation — no matter what browser you use, you can keep them centralized and consolidated with your favorite browser. The entire hierarchy structure will be imported to this application to a folder labeled for the bookmark's browser.
No limit to the number of browsers, no limit to the number of bookmarks — they will all be imported as they are to this application.
The limitation most applications have with consolidating and centralizing your book marks? It's on your machine — whether an Apple, PC, or laptop. In other words, if you can't keep your machine with you then going to another machine is basically inconvenient.
With this application, you will have access to all your bookmarks — and your log-in credentials — wherever you access the internet… including your smartphone!
What About Your Contacts?
If you are like most road warriors, salesmen, or frequent travelers, you have a contact management system — and still have to feed other machines to keep them in-sync, whether electronically or other wise. With this application, any machine with internet access, and you have your contacts available as well. Nothing else to set up, nothing else to sync, just this one application.
What is this application?
A while ago, we discussed why you need to be aware of keystroke logging — a technique used by unfriendly hackers where your keystrokes are unknowingly being recorded by one or more various means. RoboForm not only provides protection against keystroke logging by maintaining your log-in credentials in a secured environment, it will also do the same for your bookmarks from all your browsers as well as all your contacts.

By Amy Cherry 11:58am, May 10, 2013Breweries from Twin Lakes in Greenville to Fordham in Dover would be able to expand under new federal legislation.
Senators Carper and Coons are cosponsoring the Small Brewer Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act that would reduce the excise tax on each barrel of beer brewed.
Under current law, brewers pay an 18-dollar excise tax per barrel of beer. If the legislation passes, any beermaker, who's brewing fewer than two million barrels a year would only have to pay 7-dollars per barrel.

Jared Simard is a PhD candidate who is currently working on his dissertation, "Classics and Rockefeller Center: John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the Use of Classicism in Public Space." This dissertation examines the mythologically-inspired art associated with Rockefeller Center in New York City and argues that the abundance of mythological themes is related to John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s own educational background and personal interests. Rockefeller's extensive classical education began as soon as he started formal schooling and lasted to the end of his time at Brown University. The impact and knowledge of Classics further manifests itself in Rockefeller's philanthropy of classical initiatives, such as the excavations of the Athenian Agora. His personal preference for classicism in art and material culture was again showcased in the art program and individual artworks of Rockefeller Center, over which he exerted a strong influence. The final chapters consist of a survey of the mythologically-inspired art and its relation to the larger art program of Rockefeller Center. This dissertation concludes with an in-depth analysis of select programmatic artworks such as Lee Lawrie's Prometheus and Wisdom, Paul Manship's Atlas, and Hildreth M. Meiere's Dance, Drama, and Song.
Jared has received an MA in Classics from the Graduate Center, CUNY, and received a BA in Classics and History from the University of Pittsburgh (Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa). A previous Graduate Teaching Fellow, he is currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Hunter College where he teaches Classical Mythology, The Greek and Latin Roots of English, Roman Civilization, and Beginning Latin 101 & 102.
Jared has a forthcoming chapter, "The Monument and Altar to Liberty: A Memory Site for the United States's Own Thermopylae," in War As Spectacle, edited by Anastasia Bakogianni and Valerie M. Hope which is due out July 2015 from Bloomsbury Publishing.
At the Graduate Center, Jared has a long history of service to the university and the Classics Program for which he was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Excellence in Leadership Award in May 2013. He has served on several of the Classics Program's standing committees, and was a longtime representative on the Doctoral Students' Council (DSC), having served as Co-Chair for Communications during the 2011-2012 academic year. He was also an organizer and then co-chair for the 1st and 2nd annual Classics graduate student conferences respectively. Lastly, he has been the longtime chair for the Classical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies Group (CANES), of which he is a co-founder.

Clovis Park Superintendent Neil Lambert looks for leaks in the roof and cracks in the tiles Monday at the Youth Recreation Building at the northeast corner of Seventh and Sycamore streets. (Staff photo: Mike Linn)
By Mike Linn: CNJ News Editor
As sunlight pokes through the cracks in the foundation of the city-owned Youth Recreation Building, Parks and Recreation Director Rob Carter delivers a laundry list of reasons why he thinks the building should be demolished.
The tiles are cracked, the roof leaks and there is no electricity. When it rains, he said, the 5,000-square-foot building turns into a giant puddle of trash, exercise equipment and who-knows-what else.
Carter and the Parks and Recreation Board sought approval last week from the Clovis City Commission to demolish the building, which was last used by Play Inc. as a day-care facility more than two years ago.
The request was tabled, and city commissioners asked Carter for cost estimates for demolition and repairs by the next City Commission meeting in January. Maybe, city commissioners said, there could be some use for the building on the northeast corner of Seventh and Sycamore streets.
That was good news for Clovis resident Lonnie Pickel, a member of the Clovis Bowhunters Club, who said club members need a place to practice.
"As a taxpayer I think it is a worthwhile building. To me, (Carter) is amplifying the costs. He's trying to justify a reason to tear it down," Pickel said.
While Carter didn't provide commissioners with price estimates, he did say repair costs would outweigh demolition costs by several thousand dollars. It would cost roughly $20,000 to foam the roof alone, he said.
Knowing Pickel's interest in the building, Commissioner Kevin Duncan on Thursday presented the option of selling the building to the Clovis Bowhunters for $1 and letting the group repair the building themselves.
Pickel said his group would likely buy the building if the city offered it for $1, just as long as the city included the building's parking lot.
"I don't know if that's going to be a workable deal or not," City Manager Joe Thomas said, "but I don't want to shut the door on them."
Duncan and several other commissioners said they'd like to find some use for the building, even it doesn't stay city property.
Thomas said finding a cost-effective way to refurbish the building where it can be used for storage may be the building's best chance to avoid demolition.
One option included an evidence room for Clovis police, something Duncan said is risky since the building is in an unsecured area.
Considering its condition, Carter and the Parks and Recreation Board recommended tearing down the building even without cost estimates for either repairs or demolition.
Not long after the day-care center shut down, vandals climbed in through vents in the roof and spray painted and wrecked much of the equipment, Carter said.
"No one's wanted to use the building," Carter said, "since that happened."

ENGLEWOOD — A city man stole a minivan and torched it, prosecutors said.
Police received several 911 calls early Friday about a 2012 Honda Odyssey engulfed in flames, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said in a press release.
Police learned the minivan had been stolen Thursday night from an Englewood bar known as the Lodge. An investigation led them to the Liberty Road home of Rafael Lynch, Molinelli said.
While executing a search warrant, police found items that were in the Honda when it was stolen, Molinelli said. They also found marijuana, large amounts of cash, numerous Oxycodone and Xanax pills and drug packaging paraphernalia, Molinelli said.
Police arrested Lynch on arson, theft and numerous drug-distribution charges. His first appearance is pending in Englewood municipal court.

Hockey's free agent season is scheduled to begin on July 1.
It unofficially began for Hershey Bears forward Ryan Stoa last week when a Russian Internet site erroneously reported that he had signed in the KHL.
"It's not good," Stoa said, "because then maybe you're automatically a write-off [in the free agent pool]. At least that's my opinion on it."
Stoa, who has played the last two seasons for Hershey under a contract with the Washington Capitals, would like to remain in the organization.
The 27-year-old now is a full-fledged veteran (more than 320 career NHL, AHL and European elite league games) rather than an exempt veteran (261-320 games). Players reach veteran status at 261 games, and Stoa is at 330.
"That would be ideal," Stoa said of remaining in the Washington organization. "You have a relationship with everybody there.
"To be honest with you, we're just going to kind of take it a day at a time and see what happens. If there's nothing that enticing in the states, then that's definitely an option over there [in the KHL]. But not my first one."
The Bears already re-signed captain Dane Byers and Dustin Gazley, and the Caps re-signed Garrett Mitchell. Restricted free agents Michael Latta, Cameron Schilling and Nate Schmidt were given qualifying contract offers by Washington.
"We have to address our center position," Bears President-GM Doug Yingst said. "We're going to have to sign a few quality centermen and left wingers. We have Dane Byers coming back. And if [Chandler] Stephenson moves to the middle, we need to find left wingers and two D."
Andy Miele of the Portland Pirates looms as the top centerman on the market. The 26-year-old produced 27-45-72 in 2013-14 and remains a non-veteran.
Centerman Trevor Smith (Toronto Marlies), a five-time 20-goal-scorer in the AHL, is a veteran who might provide recall utility for Washington.
Binghamton's Alex Grant (non-vet), Toronto veteran T.J. Brennan and Zach Redmond (non-vet) of St. John's are intriguing defense corps possibilities. Brennan has ties to Power Train Sports Institute, headquartered in Lancaster County.
Washington management has said it will be in the market for a veteran backup goalie for Braden Holtby, with Philipp Grubauer ticketed as the No. 1 in Hershey for 2014-15. Carolina Hurricanes goalie Justin Peters has reportedly expressed interest in Washington.
The Caps acquired the rights to goalie Eddie Pasquale in a trade at the NHL entry draft and made a qualifying contract offer to the restricted free agent, slotted to be No. 2 behind Grubauer in Hershey.
Depending on how the market and roster needs break down, Yingst said the Bears still would be willing to have up to seven veterans and be one over the veteran roster limit of six (five veterans, one exempt veteran).
Two veteran slots on Hershey's prospective 2014-15 roster already have been filled in Byers and Casey Wellman (exempt).
"It depends on how many prospects we get," Yingst said. "In the last few years, we had limited draft choices. We had to over-sign at the vet situation and non-vet. I would say we will be at our veteran number unless we can get an ample amount of non-vets."

New Jersey man is indicted in scheme to sell guns illegally
ATLANTA — A federal jury has convicted a New Jersey man of heading a scheme to buy guns in Georgia and sell them in New Jersey, where 13 weapons turned up at crime scenes and one has been linked to a homicide.
Clovis Reeves, 34, of Newark, was found guilty Thursday of conspiracy to illegally purchase firearms, aiding and abetting the falsification of firearms records, and being a felon in possession of firearms.
Mr. Reeves was indicted Aug. 29 with seven others, who have pleaded guilty to multiple counts and testified at his four-day trial. Six are Georgia residents who admitted acting as "straw purchasers" for eight months in 2005 to buy 57 guns carried to Mr. Reeves and later sold on the streets in New Jersey.
Judge rules Georgia Tech site can't show prejudice to faiths
ATLANTA — A federal judge says a gay rights Web site sanctioned by the Georgia Institute of Technology cannot use language that discriminates against religions that condemn homosexuality.
The Safe Space site, a campus resource for gay and lesbian students, gave an overview of various religions' views toward homosexuality. For instance, it called the Mormon church anti-gay and the Episcopal Church more receptive to gays.
The Alliance Defense Fund sued Georgia Tech in 2006 on behalf of two students who said the university discriminated against students with conservative religious views through policies aimed at protecting the campus from intolerance.
In a ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge J. Owen Forrester ordered religious information removed because it violates the separation of church and state. He denied the students' request for damages.
University officials said the information was removed a year ago, and that the ruling requires no further action from Tech. They said they disagree with the ruling but do not plan to appeal.
Hiker's killer says he was not involved with missing student
ATLANTA — The man serving a life sentence for murder in the death of Georgia hiker Meredith Emerson says he had nothing to do with the disappearance of a Clemson University student.
Pickens County, S.C., Assistant Sheriff Tim Morgan interviewed 61-year-old Gary Michael Hilton on April 17 at the Georgia state prison in Jackson, south of Atlanta. Sheriff Morgan says authorities believe that Mr. Hilton was not involved in the disappearance of 20-year-old sophomore Jason Knapp.
In February, a grand jury indicted Mr. Hilton on charges of murder and kidnapping in the death of Cheryl Hodges Dunlap, whose body was found decapitated in Florida. Authorities say he also is a suspect in the deaths of a North Carolina couple.
Mr. Knapp was last seen on Easter Sunday 1998. He is thought to have disappeared somewhere in Table Rock State Park in Pickens County, about 45 minutes from where the Bryants disappeared.
Sheriff Morgan says South Carolina authorities questioned Mr. Hilton because of similarities in the cases.
Sheriff Morgan says Mr. Hilton faxed a two-page letter to his South Carolina office the day after the 90-minute interview in Georgia. The letter read in part, "I hope that as a result of this letter and our interview that you will have some good thoughts of me and understand that I'm not all bad."

Willie Liston, 'Redding [cleaning or preparing] the line'; Newhaven fisherman 1843 - 1847
Not on display
- Scottish Art
This is one of about 120 calotypes by Hill and Adamson that document the life and work of the fishermen and fishwives of Newhaven, a fishing village to the north of Edinburgh. This dramatic portrait shows Willie Liston, a fisherman, at work 'redding', or preparing, the fishing line. This lengthy and painstaking job involved cleaning hundreds of hooks on the line and baiting them with mussels. The careful positioning of Liston in the sunlight has created a dark shadow across his face, which helps to focus attention on his working hands.

|Mystery custom Corvair
The mystery surrounding the "Claymobile" found in Cullman County continues to thicken. While we've had some reports that the car was once owned by Cassius Clay, we now have a solid argument against that possibility.
Lon Anderson of the Derby City Corvair Club in Louisville, Ken. writes to tell us this...
As a Louisville, Ky native and long time boxing fan, I can almost promise you the car never belonged to Muhammad Ali. The car is based off a late model Corvair, meaning it was made sometime in 1965 or later. Mr Ali joined the "Black Muslims" in March of 1964, and denounced his birth name of Cassius Clay Jr in favor of the Islamic name Muhammad Ali. Mr Ali has always been a VERY proud man, and would never have accepted any gift that would have been a reminder of his birth name. Just look at the way he beat the crap out of Ernie Terrell for 15 rounds, just because Terrell called him "Clay"... it was brutal.
I honestly know nothing about the car, and have never seen it in person, but knowing Mr Ali's personality I cannot see how he would have ever owned it with it being called the "Claymobile".
It might very well be worth saving, just as a "custom bodied" car, but saying it belonged to Muhammad Ali without any actual proof, documents, or photos just seems a bit fraudulent to me.
Thank you for contacting me. I hope I have been of some help.

To the Editor:
Concerning recent calls for changes in public employees' benefits in New Jersey:
Attacking school teachers' pension and health benefits? What a great idea to make up for years of our state government's fiscal failures. Absolutely brilliant!
Such ingenuity will surely boost morale, attract more new teachers and, if we are lucky, generate a few long, drawn-out strikes when contracts are up for renewal.
How about a penalty tax on all state retirees for cashing their pension checks or for visiting their doctor?
Absurd? You bet. But maybe if our teachers stopped buying school supplies out of their own pockets or stopped dedicating so much of their nights, weekends and vacation time to school work, they wouldn't feel so bad about being assaulted by the geniuses in Trenton.
Gov. Chris Christie and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney: Be ashamed, be very ashamed.

Son's Drowning Leads Leonard Family to Advocate for Water Safety Education
(page 2 of 3)
The Leonards decided they would reach kids more effectively with awareness efforts if they used a fun cartoon character as a spokesperson. They came up with Stewie the Duck, and published two books on water safety: Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim and Swimming Lessons with Stewie the Duck. In the books, Stewie must take swimming lessons and learn water safety procedures before he can swim with the big ducks.
Stew Leonard Jr. explains that the books emphasize three simple concepts: learn to swim; wear a life vest; and a grownup must watch you when you're swimming.
"Supervision or at least observation of everybody in the water especially the kids is critical," says Mike Fields, executive director of National Water Safety Congress, an organization that promotes water safety throughout the U.S. "Lifeguards give people a false sense of security when in actuality the lifeguard is just another layer of protection. Most people drown within a few feet of safety and it happens quickly."
While swimming in a family or group setting, Fields says somebody should be designated as a "water watcher." This person is "designated for a specific amount of time, maybe 15 minutes."
When around water, it also helps to remember that a real-life drowning is different than in the movies.
"Drowning is not what most people think it will look like," Fields says. "It is very silent and quick. While you might expect someone in trouble to yell and wave and try to get somebody's attention, in reality the person is using every bit of their strength and mind power to survive. Unless you are watching closely you may never notice they are in trouble until they go under."
It's also important to watch small children anytime they're around a pool, not just when they're swimming in it. According to the CDC, children ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates, and among kids in this age group most drowning deaths occur in home swimming pools.
The Leonards have four daughters, three born after Stewie's death, and as they raised their children they had to make a conscious choice about what the family's relationship with the water would be.
"We live on the water, and I've grown up and lived on the water all my life—we have a pool in the backyard," Stew Leonard Jr. says. "We had to decide, 'Do we want to move inland?' which we considered, with no pool, no water, or do we want to face reality. We decided "Let's practice what we preach here.'"
The Leonards' daughters were coached in water safety and started taking swim lessons as early as possible. The family continues to enjoy summer fun in the water, but does so safely.
Tom Laudano, owner of Aquatic Pool & Spa Service, says that there are a variety of modern safety devices available for pool owners.
"My recommendation is for people to make sure the obvious safety precautions are in place," he says, "such as the proper code fence around their pool, self-closing gates that don't push inward to the pool but which have to pull them open to get in the pool area, and gates that close behind you."
Many people use the back of their house as the fourth wall of the pool's fence.
Laudano cautions that "any door that has access to the pool area should be on a battery-operated door alarm, so that in the event a child should open up a door, the alarm will start screeching."

They were disappointed. They were embarrassed. They almost cried. The Grambling State Tigers admitted last year's State Farm Bayou Classic was one of the most depressing times of their football careers.
They don't want another letdown like last year's 22-13 loss to Southern. When they face the Jaguars in the Bayou Classic today at the Superdome, they hope for happier times.
After last season's showdown in which the Tigers entered with a perfect record in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, they find themselves in a similar situation today.
Grambling State (9-2, 6-0 SWAC) can clinch the outright SWAC Western Division title with a win and earn a spot in the SWAC championship game.
The Tigers just hope history doesn't repeat itself.
"It was sad walking back to the locker room, " Grambling State center Revay Smith said. "Not getting the trophy and (not) getting to walk on that center stage and beat Southern was hard. We don't want it to end the way it did last year."
In fact, Grambling State players don't want their season to end at all. The only guarantee the Tigers have on continuing their season is to beat Southern, something they have done only three times in the past 15 years.
A win by Southern (6-4, 5-1) would create a three-way tie for first place between the two schools and Prairie View, forcing a coin toss to decide which team will play Eastern Division winner Jackson State in the championship game.
In other words, the Tigers said, it would bring about more disappointment.
"That was hurtful last year, " Grambling State quarterback Greg Dillon said. "But this is a whole different situation. Last year we had already clinched the division, and we were going to the championship. The game wasn't on our minds like it is this year. Right now, we either win or go home. We got our mind set on winning."
The Jaguars are in no mood to back down, though.
Like Grambling State, the Jaguars entered the season with lofty goals of winning the conference title. And they have played themselves into position to play a much bigger role this season than the spoiler role they played last year.
Southern, which is led by former Hahnville standout quarterback Bryant Lee, has shook off back-to-back losses -- including its only SWAC defeat, 24-23 to Prairie View -- to beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Alabama State, setting the stage for the Bayou Classic.
Southern Coach Pete Richardson said his team has not had any trouble getting ready to play Grambling State.
"We really haven't made any changes as far as preparation with what we do on offense, defense and special teams, " Richardson said. "The only thing we have to do is settle them down because they are excited about this game. This game is huge for us because a lot of them came to Southern University because of this game. And a championship is on the line. Our goal is to get to that championship game, and I think they are going to be ready to play."
Perhaps the key for the Jaguars will be to protect the football. Grambling State leads the SWAC with a plus-20 turnover margin. Its defense has made 23 interceptions and recovered 12 fumbles.
Meanwhile, the Tigers' top-ranked defense must limit Lee, who has passed for 2,326 yards and 23 touchdowns with just four interceptions.
"This is a big game, a great game, " Grambling State Coach Rod Broadway said. "I get hit up all the time (by fans asking), 'Are you going to win the Bayou (Classic)? Are you going to win?' For all of our fans all over the state, all over the country this is a big event for them. This is a big event for our football team."
That wasn't always the case for Broadway, who coached in his first Bayou Classic last year. He said his team is poised to prevent another letdown this year.
"They understand probably a lot more than I did last year the importance of this game, " Broadway said. "I tried to approach it as just another game, and all games are big games. But this game has a little more weight than just another big game. This game is a big game. Hopefully, we'll be prepared, and we will play well.
"For us it's pretty simple what we need to do, we just need to win. If we win the ballgame, then we are in. No ands, ifs, buts about it, (if Grambling wins) we will go undefeated in the league. We've been here two years, and we've lost one regular-season league game. And hopefully, we can continue that streak."

Devane Pursues her Passion in France
Posted on Monday, July 29, 2013
Ever since she was 10 years old, Kelsey Devane '14 has had her heart set on travelling to France. This summer, her aspirations came true; she is in Aix-En-Provence, enrolled in a six-week program offered through the Colleges.
"When I first found out I had been accepted I was overwhelmingly excited," says Devane, an international relations major. "For me, this has been something that I've had my heart set on since as long as I can remember, so you can only imagine my joy when I saw that congratulations e-mail in my inbox."
Studying French as a minor, Devane notes that her interest in the subject had an early start.
"I have always been passionate about French," she explains. "I picked it up as a child and never stopped absorbing the language and the culture; I am really intrigued by it."
She is enrolled at the School of Social Science and Humanities in Aix-En-Provence, where she is taking two courses in politics: "Women in Politics" and "Ethics of War and Peace."
With smaller-scale classes and a discussion-based curriculum, Devane notes that her experience in the classroom is similar to that at HWS, which she credits with preparing her for this experience.
"HWS gives a real sense of community and provides a realistic outlook on life," she says. "There are so many things that the school offers to help you find exactly what it is that makes you tick and it teaches you how to take your future into your own hands and make of it exactly what you want."
On campus, Devane is also a member of the club lacrosse team.

Matriarch remembered
MESOPOTAMIA – The township of Mesopotamia dates back to the early 1700s, but it was never on the tourism landscape until 1982. That was the year that Margaret Schaden and her husband, Ken Schaden, bought The End of the Commons General Store.
The store, founded in 1840, has been continuously run as a general store and is the oldest one in the Ohio. It is run by the Schadens. All 11 of their children worked in the store over the years.
Margaret Schaden, 74, died Friday from complications of a 45-year battle with severe rheumatoid arthritis.
Neighbor Carol Baker, who had known Schaden for 40 years, described her Sunday as a wonderful friend and neighbor.
"Both of our families moved from the city to the country," Baker said. "Margaret's heart was centered around her children."
The women knew one another from their Bible study classes.
Baker said that although her friend suffered with severe bouts of arthritis, she was enthusiastic and supportive of anything that happened in the community and at the family store.
"She was creative and had a lot of ideas," Baker said. "She was an amazing friend to me. She was an unusually godly woman. I thank God our paths crossed."
Both raising large families, Baker said their children played and grew up with each other.
The End of the Commons sits in the heart of Amish Country on state Route 534, just north of the intersection of state Route 87. The items range from fuel to groceries to memorabilia to penny candy to bulk foods.
While Ken Schaden ran the day-to-day operations of the store, Margaret Schaden was a stay-at-home mother who encouraged her children to spend some time at the store learning the business, meeting customers, and doing the nitty-gritty hard work to keep it running.
She told people that the hard work would only help her children with their goals in life, wherever or whatever they may be. Margaret was a firm believer that the store would be a way for her family to both work together while serving the needs of the Mespo community.
Mespo residents said Sunday that she lived her faith every day, and believed that faith in God is the glue that holds a family together.
John J. Pavlic Jr., a former township trustee, described Schaden as a woman who was dedicated to her family and her friends.
"She was an outgoing person," Pavlic described. "She was a good strong Christian believer. I know she has a place in heaven next to her Lord Jesus Christ."
Residents said that if there was a question that could not be solved regarding the store, Margaret would be consulted. Most of the time, she was right when it came down to what should be done regarding inventory, architectural changes or improvements, activities at the yearly Ox Roast, and many other things.
Margaret and Ken Schaden celebrated 51 years of marriage on Aug. 4, and she told neighbors she was so glad she married her best friend and partner.
Her obituary notes that she was known by her grandchildren as "Granny," and each one of them grew up kissing Granny "Eskimo style." Her hobbies included watching football, Sunday "Family Day," traveling all around the country and working on counted cross-stitch. She was an accomplished cross-stitch artist, designing and executing more than 50 works of art.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Russell Funeral Service, 15670 W. High St., Middlefield. A private family service will be held.

The Weehawken and Union City police departments are working together in searching for the intruder who triggered lockdowns at schools in Union City and Weehawken, according to Weehawken Public Safety Director Jeff Welz.
On Thursday an intruder was caught on camera at George Washington Elementary in Union City, prompting a lockdown of the school that drew hundreds of concerned parents to the school.
The intruder is believed to be between 30 and 40 years old, and was seen wearing gray pants, a gray long-sleeve shirt, and a backpack, Union City Police Chief Robert Molinari said Thursday.
The man was not captured leaving the school located at the corner of 39th Street and New York Avenue. Welz believes that the intruder then went directly to Daniel Webster Elementary School, on Palisade Avenue near 28th Street.
Welz said the Weehawken school was on lockdown at around 3:30 p.m, and police officials are investigating exactly what time the intruder entered and left the school.
At George Washington Elementary School all faculty are required to buzz in at the beginning of the school day using the buzzer system, says Union City Public Schools Superintendent Stanley Sanger. All students and faculty go through the same door.
Sanger said the district used the 64 cameras that monitor the school to learn that the intruder entered the building and they also traced his steps.
According to Sanger, 25 percent of students at George Washington school did not attend school — but he attributed the high number to the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
"Today we were more vigilant, trying to create and reflect a sense of normalcy," Sanger said.
Molinari could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Meanwhile, at Daniel Webster school, where is was annual "school pride day," there were detectives inside the school and unmarked cars and additional officers outside the school.
"We want kids to enjoy their annual pride day with no fear," said Welz. "From my understanding it went off without a hitch."

A 27-year-old man is being accused of shooting at another man who refused to share his headphones on a Southeast Portland MAX platform in September.
Blake E. Humphers pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court to robbery, attempted murder, attempted assault and unlawful use of a weapon charges. An anonymous tip to police led to Humphers' arrest in Gresham on Oct. 26, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman. Humphers was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center the next day.
Humphers allegedly approached Joshua J. Smith, 28, Sept. 13 on a MAX platform at Southeast Foster Road near Interstate 205 and told Smith he wanted to listen to his headphones, police said. When Smith said no, Humphers reportedly pulled out a handgun and fired towards Smith.
The two then got into a scuffle and Humphers eventually fled on a bike, police said. Smith injured his arm in the scuffle, but wasn't hit by gunfire. Humphers accidentally shot himself in the leg, Simpson said. No one else was reported hurt.Follow @evertonbailey

There are no medals for Kwan, so who should skate in that coveted spot?
Michelle Kwan
Sasha Cohen
Evgeni Plushenko
Stephane Lambiel
Kimmie Meissner
Shizuka Arakawa
There are no medals for Kwan, so who should skate in that coveted spot?
Well, I voted for my girl Michelle. So did Tom Collins. (Michelle closed the Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando shows.)
No medals, but she won the Marshalls popularity contest, so there you go, LOL.
She's the master and very, very well like so she should close out the show. She has represented the USA so very well in the last 10-12 years than any other person so give her that acknowledgement. She isn't even my favorite but I love her just the same.
I would agree with Michelle; but since it's an American tour, and she's reigning world champion, I think Kimmie would be appropriate also.
Michelle should..."one of the most decorated figure skaters of all time"...
I didn't vote for Michelle, but I have no doubt that it will be her spot until she so chooses to not have it... or someone comes close to her star status (at least in Collins' pocketbook's eyes)
Who is the skater most are paying to see? Michelle
Who is the only skater I will sit through the hoola hoop girl & clowns to see? Michelle
Money trumps Medals... to quote Purple Rain: "This here is a business"
Kwan has stuck with Collins for years now. I think he appreciates her loyalty to the tour. That aside, whoever TC wants to close should close.
I could not decide between Plushenko and Kwan. Plushenko is the current Olympic champion, and 3-time world champion. Kwan has no medals in the last two years but she is an icon, especially in the US. I think it will be very appropriate to give her that last spot as an honor. However, Plushenko is equally worthy of it.
I voted for Shizuka, since she's Olympic champion.
I voted for Shizuka because she is the reining Olympic Champion. To me it shoudl be decided on by protocol.
Without having read the comments of others....
I vote "Shizzy" because then those people who only came to see Michelle (whom I do like) will hopefully be gone and I can get a clear picture of the Ina Bauer that people rave about but the camera operators keep missing the shot! (dreaming that I actually had tickets, of course!) Then, I could also get my car out of the parking lot without too much of a wait!
After seeing the show, I think casting Michelle last was a big mistake because Michelle had a slow program and she is injured so she didn't do anything spectacular. Sasha on the other hand was spectacular and it was a letdown that she didn't skate last b/c with the patriotic music and the wow moves, she would have ended that show on a high note.
There were no standing ovations in the show I attended and while MIchelle got the biggest response before she skated, after she skated her response was less than that of Weir, T&M and Sasha.
Also Lambiel, Shizuka aren't doing all the shows like Sasha is or else I would have picked Shizuka to close.
And seeing Yevgeny's Tosca in person... he was good but that kind of program really isn't good enough to close a show with.
Following all the reports from the various shows, the consensus seems to be that Totmianina and Marinen are the show stoppers this year. (I'll be checking it out next Sunday! )
I voted Shi-chan as well, just because of the Oly win - it is earned. You guys come up with some really strange nick-names. At least there is no negative translation to that one that I know of. Zuka translates as fragrance, so you just go figure how the translations comes into play. It really doesn't matter in the end, but .... just thought I would mention it again.

Tom Hardy putting on 30 pounds to play Bane in 'Dark Knight Rises'
Tom Hardy recently sat down on British talk show "Chatty Man" and talked about his work for Christopher Nolan and the preparation for his upcoming role as bad guy 'Bane' in the latest and last Nolan Batman film "Dark Knight Rises." Bane, the supervillain character, is traditionally portrayed as being the size of a competitive bodybuilder, and Hardy said he will be putting on close to 30 pounds to play the character.
The actor is no stranger to this kind of body modification. He previously put on close to the same amount of weight to play the convict Bronson in the film of the same name. Even though in the interview Hardy tells the host that the weight gain is mostly "fat and trickery," folks who saw "Bronson" will know that there was very little room for "trickery" in the revealing role. (He's pretty much naked through most of the film.)
