Construction to bring sewer and water service to the property is underway as the school plans to move in by the fall of 2015
Since it was posted in 2006, the sign declaring the future home of Veritas School near the corner of College Street and Bell Road has been the only indication the private Christian school has any connection to the property it purchased from North Valley Friends Church the year before it went up.
In fact, because there have few noticeable changes to the property since, the small billboard hasnt really served its primary purpose, instead fading into the landscape to all but the newest visitors to Newberg.
But for the first time in seven years there were signs of life last month, as construction to extend sewer and water lines to the property began, perhaps bringing the notice back into the foreground so that passersby might again envision the possibilities of a proud new campus rather than an ever-dormant patch of land.
The lack of visible progress came in part because the planning slowed significantly following the economic downturn in late 2008, before coming back on line in earnest in May 2011. Since then, all the work done designing the campus, obtaining permits and securing easements to extend piping through the property of neighbors along College Street has by nature been unseen.
In reality we have been moving forward all along, even through the crisis in the economy that occurred in `08 and 109, director of development Mike Stice said.
Perhaps even more startling to those whove been unable to detect progress is that after completing the current construction, hopefully by the end of October, the school plans to quickly ramp up its capital campaign and build a campus, consisting of a multi-purpose building (gym, library, kitchen and cafeteria) and already-existing modular classrooms, that will be ready for student use by fall 2015.
With more than $560,000 already raised toward its $2 million goal, the school hopes, ideally, that progressing that quickly will kick start fundraising to the point where expanding the main building to include classrooms and developing playing fields will be feasible by the time work on the multi-purpose building is completed, if not sooner.
Its amazing how much work goes into stuff that people dont even see, communications director Kasi Woidyla said. Were very excited to have this phase done and actually move on to getting kids on the property.

|Yellow Asphodel (Asphodeline lutea)
|Scientific classification
see text
Asphodeloideae is a subfamily of the monocot family Asphodelaceae in the order Asparagales. It has previously been treated as a separate family, Asphodelaceae sensu stricto.[1] The family Asphodelaceae has now been proposed to be a nomen conservandum, and the proposal has been recommended for ratification in 2017. In that case, Asphodelaceae will have priority over Xanthorrhoeaceae. This is reflected in the APG IV family lists.[2]
The subfamily name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, Asphodelus. Members of group are native to Africa, central and western Europe, the Mediterranean basin, Central Asia and Australia, with one genus (Bulbinella) having some of its species in New Zealand. The greatest diversity occurs in South Africa.
The genera Aloe, Asphodelus, and Kniphofia are perhaps best known from their use in horticulture as ornamental plants.
Characters of Asphodeloideae[edit]
The Asphodeloideae are distinguished by a general presence of anthraquinones, simultaneous microsporogenesis, atypical ovules morphology, and the presence of an aril.[3] Asphodeloideae also have a characteristic secondary growth by means of a secondary thickening meristem.[3] This character, however, is also found in other taxa in the Asparagales, including Agavaceae, Iridaceae, and Xanthorrhoeoideae. It is confined to Asparagales among the monocots and is believed to have evolved independently in most families.[3]
Phylogeny of Asphodeloideae[edit]
There is agreement among many researchers that Asphodeloideae can be further divided into a monophyletic group comprising Aloe and its immediate relatives, and a nonmonophyletic group of the remaining genera.[3][4][5] The monophyletic group can be treated either as the tribe Aloeae within the subfamily Asphodeloideae or as the subfamily Alooideae within the family Asphodelaceae.[6] Aloeae or Alooideae are mainly rosulated-leaf succulents, while the other genera are not succulent. The genera in Alooideae are centered in southern Africa, while the other genera have mainly a Eurasian distribution.[5]
The Alooideae s.s. comprise Aloe, Astroloba, Chamaealoe, Gasteria, Haworthia, Lomatophyllum, and Poellnitzia.[3] The genera within Alooideae have several morphological characters that can be readily distinguished in the field, namely the arrangement and type of leaf and inflorescence.
Alooidae leaves are arranged in strongly tufted terminal (in arborescent species, as in Aloe barberae) or basal rosettes and are arranged in distinct ranks. Leaves are succulent and have distinctive white or concolorous tubercules. This is hypothesized to be a derived condition, possibly as a mechanical defensive mechanism to make the leaf less palatable, or to prevent heat damage in arid conditions. As well, the cross-section of the leaves are distinctly shaped in a cymbiform or crescent shape, which represents a synapomorphy for all Alooideae taxa.[4]
The inflorescence is compacted into a many-flowered spike, or a simple or branched raceme, and is apical, although can seem axillary. Stems are monopodial until an inflorescence is formed, and then it becomes sympodial; this prevents the rosette from dying as in Agave. Flowers of all taxa within Alooideae are tubular and have a fusion of petaline tepals, although the amount of fusion varies among genera.[4]
Evidence for monophyly of Alooideae is based on distinctive karyotype and characteristic leaf morphology. The Bulbine group has characteristics of Alooideae, but is not included in the group due to a lack of tubular flowers. Kniphofia is considered an outgroup of Alooideae since it has tubular flowers and a fusion of perianth segments, but it lacks succulent leaves.[4]
Aloin cells[edit]
The presence of aloin cells is a distinctive character of the Alooideae. These cells are present in all Alooideae, but are absent in most of the other genera within Asphodeloideae.[3] A well-developed cap of thin-walled parenchyma cells occurs at the phloem pole of each vascular bundle.[4] Chase posits that they are involved in secondary metabolite production,[3] but Beaumont suggests that the cells act as a storage tissue for compounds synthesized in the surrounding layer of cells.[7] The aloin cells are said to produce the characteristic thick exudate that is produced when the succulent leaf of aloe is severed.[7] The aloin cells produce anthraquinone and chromone derivatives,[7] which may be responsible for the medicinal attributes of Aloe.
List of genera[edit]
The genera listed below are from the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[8] with the placement in the subfamily based on APWeb as of May 2011[update].[6][9] Other treatments combine some of these genera into as few as seven.
- Aloe L.
- Astroloba Uitewaal
- Asphodeline Rchb.
- Asphodelus L.
- Bulbine Wolf
- Bulbinella Kunth
- Chortolirion A.Berger
- Eremurus M.Bieb.
- Gasteria Duval
- Haworthia Duval
- Jodrellia Baijnath
- Kniphofia Moench
- Lomatophyllum Willdenow – synonym of Aloe
- Poellnitzia Uitewaal – synonym of Astroloba

Just under a year ago I reviewed the Lumix DMC-TZ7, then the latest model in Panasonic's successful line of long-zoom compact travel cameras. As you can probably tell from the 65 comments, it has been a popular review, as was the Lumix DMC-FZ38). However, we could have a new contender for the most popular camera review, because today I'm taking a look at the TZ7's successor, the much-anticipated Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10.
The long-zoom compact market is, as I have remarked before, extremely competitive, and there are several very impressive new cameras launching within a few weeks of each other, such as the excellent Ricoh CX3 or the Canon SX210 IS. The TZ7 has been the camera to beat in this field for the past year, so Panasonic has gone all out to make sure that the TZ10 is loaded up with enough features to keep it at the top of its market sector for the rest of this year.
The TZ10 has a 14.5-megapixel multi-aspect CCD sensor with a maximum image size of 12 megapixels, a high quality 12x optical zoom f/3.3-f/4.9 Leica lens equivalent to 25-300mm, an extra-sharp 3in 460k monitor with a wide angle of view, 720p HD video recording with stereo audio, optional manual exposure and a built-in GPS receiver for automatic location recording, with a database of over half a million named locations and landmarks worldwide. An optional kitchen sink accessory is rumoured to be launching at the beginning of April.
Externally at least the Lumix TZ10 is virtually identical to the TZ7. This is no bad thing because Panasonic got the ergonomics pretty much right with the previous model, and the few changes for the TZ10's design are only slight improvements. The strong all-metal body is exactly the same size and nearly the same shape, although the small handgrip is a different and slightly more comfortable shape and the controls on the top panel have been rearranged. The mode dial, which I criticised for being too loose, has been stiffened up and now turns with a firm click. The only outward signs of the changes within are the raised hump on the top panel that presumably houses the GPS satellite antenna, and a few extra notches on the mode dial. The rear panel also now has an extra button that enables adjustment of exposure parameters in the manual exposure modes.

A Weekend with Mr. Darcy (edition 2011)
by Victoria Connelly
Work details
A Weekend with Mr. Darcy by Victoria Connelly
No current Talk conversations about this book.
this is a fun summer read. It's a fast read, one I really didn't want to put down. It made me wonder if there really are weekends like this and if there really are people that addicted to Jane Austen. Fun and I'm glad I read it.
Having just spent a weekend with A Weekend with Mr. Darcy I am completely infatuated! An absolutely fun and romantic read!
This is just a nice frothy piece of nonsense to while away a few hours over Christmas. Various characters turn up for a weekend conference on Jane Austen. Of course, they are all in various unsatisfactory romances or unhappily single & of course everyone lives happily ever after. No need to engage brain for this one, just sit back with a cup of tea & a packet of biscuits and enjoy.
I normally enjoy P&P realted books (whether P&P Continued or P&P what if or P&P fan fiction), but not in this case. Modern-day story of Austenites spending a weekend in Hampshire at a Jane Austen conference... plot too weak, characters underdeveloped, a chick-lit book without tugging on heart-strings. Pass this by!
Good, enjoyable, light read.

We needn't inform you what a groundbreaking device the first HTC EVO 4G was, with its huge screen and WiMAX connectivity, when announced last year at the same CTIA show we are at now. Sprint even quoted our review at its presentation today, when it was talking about the virtues of the first EVO phone. It was the trailblazer of a trend for touchscreen devices with large displays that many, including Steve Jobs, thought are doomed to fail, but now represent a significant portion of what we call smartphones.
Sprint just announced at the its CTIA presentation a worthy successor - the HTC EVO 3D. It sports a 4.3" display with a glasses-free parallax barrier overlay for 3D-viewing, with qHD 540x960 pixels resolution. This resolution is much bigger than what we have on the LG Optimus 3D, and you need all the pixels you can get, since these parallax barrier overlays diminish it when turned on. There is a dedicated 2D/3D switch on the side, for those times when having two cameras on the back just isn't enough to attract someone's attention in the club.
The 3D magic doesn't stop at passively watching the screen, however. You can also take an active role creating your own 3D content with the help of the two 5MP cameras on the back, creating stereoscopic image for both stills and video, which can be captured with HD quality in 3D at 24fps, and Full HD 1080p at 30fps, when shooting in the plain ol' 2D mode. The front-facing cam is 1.3MP.
These capabilities mean, of course, that we need a dual-core chipset to power the phone, and the HTC EVO 3D doesn't disappoint. It sports a dual-core 1.2GHz third generation Snapdragon CPU. To stream those 3D videos and images you will have a choice of HDMI or DLNA. The phone will come directly with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Availability is slated for the hot summer months.

Getting a good night's rest
By Amanda McQuade Crawford
Proper sleep is absolutely paramount to proper health – and can even affect your chances of developing or coping with diabetes. But prescription (and even some over-the-counter) sleep aides can be habit forming or even dangerous.
Check out these four all-natural sleep aids for getting a full night's worth of quality shut-eye.
Valerian, Skullcap, Passion Flower & Chamomile
Good sleep is as important to good health as whole foods and exercise. It doesn't take long for poor sleep to cause health problems, depression, even accidents. Sleep disorders affect millions of people. According to a national survey, 54% of adults said they have experienced at least one symptom of insomnia.
Common contributors to insomnia:
- Anxiety
- Tension
- Pain
- Nutritional gaps, eating the wrong diet for you
- Eating heavy meals before bed
- Stress
- Compounded by reliance on caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine
- Odd work schedules
- Mattress designed for someone else's body type
- Rule out medical reasons: bladder or kidney disorders, sleep apnea, medication (some medications for other problems cause insomnia: high-blood pressure medicine, decongestants and antihistamines)
- Traveling to another time zone
Some people take prescribed sleeping pills, but:
- These are not a cure for the underlying cause
- Prescription sleep aids can be dangerously addictive
- And all sleep medicines carry some risk of dependency
- These medicines can cause a "fuzzy" feeling the next day: drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

How much sleep is enough?
6 to 10 hours at one time, not two hours here and four hours there, is best for repair and a refreshed feeling upon waking. Individuals need different amounts; the key is to find time for enough sleep to feel rested, to rejuvenate and repair the body. While you sleep, most of your cellular repair occurs. Whether insomnia happens occasionally, off and on, or all the time, most of us recognize two kinds:
- Difficulty falling asleep (onset insomnia)
- Difficulty staying asleep (maintenance insomnia)
Lack of sleep begins a vicious cycle as thinking about it creates more mental and physical tension.
Valerian, Passion Flower, Skullcap, and Chamomile are among most studied herbs for safety that have relaxing or sedative properties (many more in every wild corner of the planet). Each has something about it that makes it different from other herbs for sleep.
Recipe #1 - Easy Sleep Tea:
|Chamomile dried
|1 oz.
|Skullcap dried
|1 oz. (tastes bitter but is better in combination)
|Lemon Balm Dried
|2 oz. OR 4 oz. (to make tea delicious)
Mix the three herbs. Use 1 heaping teaspoon per cup boiling water. Steep or infuse, covered, 15 min; 1 cup mid-morning, and 1 cup mid-afternoon.
Skullcap is a member of the mint family that nourishes nerves but tastes bitter on its own.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a relaxing but uplifting member of the mint family, and reduces bloating. The volatile oil that gives it aroma and flavor are carminative. It is here for flavor, plus the combination has a calming effect that promotes good sleep cycles.

Case History:
A 57 year old woman called Jen is post-menopause but still experiences insomnia. She falls asleep easily but wakes around 2:00 am and seldom goes back to sleep before 5:00 am. Her alarm goes at 6.30 am. She is a lawyer and feels that she generally has a stressful working week.
I gave her a formula to take during the day and one at night:
|3 Herbs as Tea
|1 ounce
|Combine herbs, put 1 heaping teaspoon in 1 cup boiling water, steeped 15 minutes; strain. Can make and store in fridge, reheat as needed: 1 ounce of tea combination to 3 cups boiling water; steep as above and strain before storing.
|Dried Skullcap
|1 ounce
|Dried Lemon Balm
|2-4 ounces (for flavor and digestibility)
|1 c
|1 c
|2 Herbs as single extracts
|1 teaspoon
|1 hr. before bed
|1 teaspoon
|Right before bed
After four nights Jen slept through the night for the first time in a year. She won her big case after months of long work days, chose a smaller law office, found time to go dancing, and stopped needing the herbs after a two more months. Jen still keeps some herbs in the cupboard for when her daughter in law visits; her daughter-in-law wants to try herbs now.
Recipe #2 - Quicker & Easier Tincture (sometimes called Liquid Extracts)
|1 oz.
|Take 1 tsp. 1 hour before bed
|Passion flower
|1 oz.
|Take 1 tsp. at bedtime
These herbs are safe enough to take very night until you are sleeping naturally.
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis)
Valerian smells strong but tastes better than it smells. It is used for anxiety, muscle aches, and insomnia. The dose of 1tsp (5mL) of the single extract is the equivalent to 1- 3 grams dried root. This can be taken as necessary, usually two times per day for anxiety. Herbalists may recommend using 5 g or more, as necessary, as a one-time dose, before bed for sleep.
Valerian is a muscle relaxing herb that has a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. It is a good short-term sedative that works quickly, offering a healthy, nontoxic alternative to strong prescription drugs. Valerian is best for insomniacs who have trouble falling asleep, because it decreases the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, but doesn't necessarily work on the length of sleep. Because this is a mild herb, one may need five to ten capsules to get the desired result.
Valerian is not just an herbal "sleeping pill" (generally stronger and just requires just one or two tablets. One or two Valerian capsules or tablets may work simply for calming nerves, but more may be required as a sleep aid. Start with a lower number and work up till you get the desired result. Unlike some prescription sleep aids, Valerian is not known to cause morning grogginess and is non-addictive.
Though convenient, capsules are not the most effective. The tea has strong smell, but fortunately Valerian works as a convenient liquid extract, or tincture, at a dose of 1 teaspoon or roughly 5mL.
Valerian is used widely in Europe. In the past 35 years, more than 200 scientific studies have been done on valerian. European physicians are more likely to recommend Valerian instead of pharmaceuticals. Valerian is an active ingredient in about 150 over-the-counter medicines in Germany, including some preparations for children. (In fact, some studies have shown positive effects on hyperactive children.)
In the U.S., it's recommended that Valerian not be used by children, pregnant women or nursing women, except on the advice of a health practitioner. In normal, recommended doses, Valerian can help a few bad nights or even a rough week. It often takes four nights in a row of using natural sleep herbs to slip into a new Circadian rhythm for better sleep cycles. Still, in sensitive people (pregnant, nursing moms) the need for Valerian after a week signals that something else demands attention.

Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata)
Passion Flower has a sedative effect on the activity of the central nervous system. It is used for its soothing properties to lower blood pressure and for anxiety-induced insomnia. Passion flower has recently been shown to have sedative activity in animals. It aids the transition into a deep, lasting sleep.
Herb-Drug Interactions: This is mainly theoretical, and is not seen in medical literature or in practice. Yet there is some suggestion that excessive doses (1 fluid ounce per dose, roughly 30mL) taken with anticoagulants (example: warfarin) may increase risk of bleeding.
Use 2 grams or equivalent up to 4 times a day, or 8 grams at bedtime. If in doubt, leave it out, or ask a doctor of integrative medicine about Passionflower and you.
Combined with passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) I recommend Skullcap for nightmares, insomnia, and restless sleep.
Herbal Sleep aides For Children:
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Matricaria comes from Latin words for Mother (mater) or Matrix (womb, parent/basis). Chamomile is a relaxant and antispasmodic, which reduces stress throughout the body. Used as a calming tea for centuries, it contains substances that act on the same parts of the brain and nervous system as anti-anxiety drugs. Across continents and centuries, chamomile has been relieving women's reproductive problems (cramping, painful periods, morning sickness, nervous feelings that affect the digestive tract).
We are speaking here of German chamomile, not the Roman (Anthemis nobile or Chamaemelum nobile).
In chamomile, apigenin and bisabolol are just two components responsible for the anti-anxiety effects. It is also a mild bitter and gentle digestive aid, which is important to helping us cope with anxiety. Chamomile also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory capabilities. Dose 2tsp. per cup or 1 oz: pint - Not 1 tsp per cup unless this is for a child under 50 pounds in weight.
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine
- Make environment "sleep-friendly":
- The darker your room the more melatonin you make.
- Develop a rhythm that encourages better sleep.
- Turn off the tv (recycle it, give it away)
- Try recommended herb teas or extracts in liquid or capsules and tablets every night for at least two weeks
- Take a warm bath
- Try breathing or relaxation techniques
Insomnia, which has many causes, affects at least ½ adults sometimes, while an estimated 15 percent to 25 percent of children have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep. When bedtime stories or quiet communion with your spirit isn't enough, herbs and minerals may nourish us into natural sleep cycles, without relying on drugs.
After reconnecting to your best sleep cycle, you won't have to rely on these herbs, or not every night. I have seen that when we have the sense that problems are somehow manageable, the body and mind seize the natural option of a good sleep. It is safe to experiment with these and compare two weeks on any one of these herbs to your last two weeks of rest.

THE strength of Lance Armstrong's waning allure as the wall of support from his sponsors crumbles will be challenged from today - ironically a day when his world should be celebrating.
When Armstrong, 41, arrives for the 15th anniversary fund-raising dinner in his home town of Austin, Texas, for the Livestrong foundation he will no doubt do so with smiles.
But in the back of his mind, Armstrong will be wrestling with the reality that his once mighty sporting empire, that the United States Anti-Doping Agency has shown was built on deceit and treachery, is falling fast.
In front of a loyal guest list, the Texan is unlikely to let on. That is despite standing down as chairman of the Livestrong foundation - of which he remains a member of the board - raising the biggest flag so far that he recognises at the very least his situation is damaging.
Armstrong will do all he can to hang on to those who still believe in him, as he has ever since USADA zeroed in on him and five former associates in an investigation that led to him not even defending the charges against him, and climaxed with last Thursday's release of its findings.
It mattered zilch to Armstrong who, as of late yesterday, had still to confess to any guilt.
While banned from competing in any sport event not sanctioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency code, he simply raced in unsanctioned races.
And incredibly, even though the masses who believed he was a cheat grew by the day, Armstrong found there was still no shortage of support from the believers.
The crowds still cheered as he competed - and won - events such as the Superfrog triathlon near San Diego earlier this month, and the Revolution 3 Half Full triathlon in Ellicott City, Maryland, a week later.
So too did the numbers remain high. Sanctioned or not, disgraced or not … the Armstrong faithful still wanted to race Armstrong - to fulfil the dream of taking on the once-named ''Boss''.
So promising did Armstrong's prospects of a life away from the scrutiny of detractors appear, he even proposed setting up an unsanctioned endurance race series under the Livestrong banner. Armstrong had circled the wagons in one last-ditch attempt to keep his world alive, according to former Union Cycliste Internationale anti-doping head Anne Gripper in The Age on Wednesday - just hours before Armstrong stood down as Livestrong chairman and then one by one Nike, Anheuser-Busch brewery, Trek bikes, Giro Helmets and his former team sponsor RadioShack tore up their contracts with Armstrong (leaving Oakley Sunglasses to reserve its decision).
In the space of 12 hours, Armstrong became a sponsors' liability - even though at Nike he landed in ''fine'' company with six other sports stars who also tarnished the brand with controversy.
People such as Kobe Bryant (basketball), Marion Jones (athletics), Joe Paterno (American college football), Ben Roethlisberger (NFL), Michael Vick (NFL) and Tiger Woods (golf).
Was Gripper surprised by Armstrong's refusal to confess?
''I am not, because that is his nature,'' she said. ''My view is that - and it might be a cynical view - he built Livestrong as the ultimate barrier. That was the thing that no one could get past. No one could touch him.''
But now that ''ultimate barrier'' is on shaky ground. Armstrong may say he is committed to his cancer cause. And Livestrong may echo their conviction to its mandate, but how credible that remains is almost certain to come into question so long as its ties with Armstrong remain.
In Armstrong's world, they may cheer and raise a glass at the Livestrong dinner. But in the the real world, left with the fall-out of USADA's investigation, the cheer will be if he confesses.
Found guilty by United States Anti Doping Agency with five former associates. Banned for life and stripped of all race results since August 1998, including his seven Tour de France titles.
National Basketball Association star who was accused of sexual assault in 2003. Charges were dropped when his accuser refused to testify. Matter was later settled out of court.
Suspicions of doping at the 2000 Sydney Olympics emerged in 2005. She initially denied all charges, but in 2007 confessed, was stripped of her five medals and jailed for perjury.
Long-time coach of Pennsylvania University named in a sex abuse scandal involving assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and fired in November, 2011. He died on January 22 of lung cancer.
National Football League star accused of sexual assault in 2008 and 2010. No criminal charges laid, but second incident led to a six-game suspension that was cut to four under NFL conduct policy.
National Football League star pleaded guilty in 2007 to dog-fighting charges. Lost his sponsorship, served time in prison, but resumed NFL career and re-signed with Nike after.
Sex scandal involving extra marital affairs. Stood down from his golfing career from December 2009 to April 2010. World ranking dropped to 58 in November 2011, but he was back to No. 1 by October 14.

Delta » Roberto Miramontes Roman, who is accused of murdering a sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop, is not an immigrant who happened to be in this town, his family says.
Rather, they say, Roman is a local guy who happened to be born in Mexico.
"We were raised here," said his brother, Freddy Roman.
Freddy Roman, 30, said he feels sorry for the family of Millard County sheriff's Deputy Josie Greathouse Fox. But, during an interview at his family's home in Delta, Freddy Roman and his family remained steadfast in support of his older brother.
"I never saw him kill a jackrabbit," said Roberto Roman's mother, Julianna Roman. "I can't believe he would do something like this."
Fox was shot to death Tuesday morning after she pulled over a car believed to have been driven by Roberto Roman. Following information from Fox's brother, Ryan Greathouse -- who said he was buying drugs from Roman minutes before the shooting -- police tracked Roman to Salt Lake County. He eventually was arrested Wednesday morning after officers found him asleep in a Beaver County shed.
Freddy Roman shared his family's story for about an hour and a half Friday. His parents, who speak less English, answered only a few questions. When asked whether she thinks of Roberto Roman, 37, as more of a Mexican or Utahn, Julianna Roman replied: "Utah."
The Roman family is from Nuevo Casas Grandes, next door to the Mormon settlement of Colonia Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. About 30 years ago, Julianna and her husband, Jacinto Roman, brought their five children to the United States.
The Romans already had family working on the industrial dairies in Millard County and decided to join them, Freddy Roman said. The youngest of the children was just a few years old when the family arrived in Millard County, Freddy said he does not know how his family entered the United States. But he said he and his parents are naturalized citizens.
Roberto Roman is the third child. Freddy Roman said he is too young to remember what life as a Utah transplant was like for his older brother, but he remembers what it was like for him.
"It was hard," he said. "Back then, no one spoke Spanish. There weren't many Hispanics in a town like this. It's hard when you go to school."
The family lived in Fillmore most of the time he was growing up. He said the Latino children played basketball, soccer and baseball, but usually did so only with each other and not in organized leagues.
But Freddy Roman said he has good memories of Millard County, and so does his brother. He remembers his brother taking him sledding and snow tubing. Julianna Roman said she does not remember the schools complaining about Roberto Roman.
Roberto Roman began working on dairies by age 16, his brother said.
"Sometimes, when we had a hard time at Christmas, he would make it happen," Freddy Roman said. "He would go out and get some money, borrow some money or get some work. He had a really big heart."
Court records suggest Roberto Roman had another way of making money. At age 20, he was arrested near the junction of Interstate 15 and Interstate 70 with marijuana. He was convicted in state court of a misdemeanor count of attempting to distribute. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and three years of probation.
Freddy Roman said he is not sure how his brother got involved with drugs, but suspects it is related to some bad friends he picked up.
Those friends have since "pretty much moved away," Freddy Roman said. "Some went to jail."
Sometime after that arrest, Roberto Roman married a woman from Millard County in the Catholic church in Fillmore. The couple went on to have two children.
Then, in August 1996, Roberto Roman was arrested again on drug charges in Millard County. And while that case was still pending, he and a second man were arrested in Millard County again. In that case, court documents say, Roberto Roman was driving a van with cocaine and a 9mm handgun within his reach. The documents also say deputies found about $2,200 in cash in the pockets of his clothing.
In all, Roberto Roman pleaded guilty to two felonies and received a sentence of one to 15 years in prison. He was released from prison in September 1998 so federal authorities could deport him to Mexico.
Freddy Roman said the deportation saddened his family, and many were crying.
Roberto Roman returned to Nuevo Casas Grandes. His wife and children joined him, Freddy Roman said. There, the marriage ended.
"It's pretty hard living here and being sent to a country [where] you weren't ever raised," Freddy Roman said.
Federal court records show Roberto Roman was deported again in 2005, this time from Arizona. Freddy Roman said his brother was caught trying to re-enter the United States.
But not long after, Freddy Roman said, his brother made it back. Freddy Roman said he does not know how his brother entered, but he called to say he was returning and arrived in Millard County a few days later.
Roberto Roman returned to work at a dairy. For a time, he worked construction jobs in St. George, then returned to Millard County when the housing industry collapsed. He and his children were living at his parents' home.
Freddy Roman said his brother was holding jobs, attending Delta's Catholic church on Sunday and staying out of trouble. His brother must not have been worried about being deported again, Freddy Roman said, because he had his own MySpace page.
Before it was removed, that social-networking page had photographs of Roberto Roman holding various pistols and rifles. Freddy Roman said his brother likes guns, which are illegal for him to possess given his felony convictions, but he never saw him threaten or endanger people with them.
Freddy Roman said the television stations that have displayed the photos have made his brother "look like he's this serial killer. He's not like that."
After Tuesday's shooting, sheriff's deputies arrived at the ranch-style home on an unpaved road in the middle of Delta. They were looking for Roberto Roman, his brother said, searched the house and seized some items.
"I was really scared because I didn't know what was happening," Julianna Roman said.
Freddy Roman said he spoke to his brother Thursday at the Millard County jail. Most of the discussion was about family, Freddy Roman said. Of Fox's killing, Roberto Roman said only that he did not do it, his brother said.
"We're pretty much a family [that doesn't] get in trouble," Freddy Roman said.
Another brother, Mike Roman, arrived at the house carrying a plastic bag of groceries. He was hesitant to speak, but echoed support for his accused brother.
"He's just a guy milking cows," Mike Roman said.
Roberto Roman is charged with capital murder and tampering with evidence. He was arraigned Thursday in Fillmore's 4th District Court. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted. Ruben Chavez Reyes, whom police arrested along with Roman, is being detained on immigration hold.

Analysts see MarineMax weathering weak marketPosted on
Analysts were not surprised by MarineMaxs earnings report released Thursday, with one saying the company was managing well despite weak market conditions.
"We think MarineMax is managing well through the industry downturn, which we expect to continue into 2009, albeit at a lesser rate than 2008, said Laura Richardson of BB&T Capital Markets, who maintained the hold rating on MarineMax stock, which has potential for patient investors.
Factoring in store closings and other information, BB&T maintained its fourth quarter 2008 earnings per share estimate at 15 cents.
With steps in process to manage expenses and inventories, we think investor concern about MarineMax losing financing should be greatly lessened, Richardson wrote. In tangible book value, we think strengths in MarineMaxs financial position are more apparent to investors now, as we think they have been to lenders.
Revenue at MarineMax declined by more than $108 million in the third quarter, which ended June 30, compared to the same period of 2007.
Revenue was $271.3 million for the quarter, compared with $379.8 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales declined about 27 percent compared with a 9 percent decrease in the comparable quarter last year.
Net loss for the quarter was $113.3 million, or $6.15 a share.
RBC Capital Markets estimates a fiscal 2008 earnings per share loss of 29 cents versus a loss of 44 cents previously anticipated. The fiscal 12009 forecast is unchanged at a loss of 13 cents.
Trading at a 50 percent discount to tangible book, we believe this is a cheap stock, wrote RBCs Ed Aaron. However, we need to see negative trends stop accelerating and inventory improve before revisiting (MarineMax) as a 12-month investment idea.
On Thursdays conference call with analysts, MarineMax president, chairman and CEO William McGill, Jr. called the economic climate one of the most challenging periods on record.
MarineMax outlined plans Thursday to close seven stores, in addition to three previously closed this year. Officials said they did not anticipate market share being affected, as these closings would strengthen the position of neighboring stores.
While the company plans to order about 40 percent fewer 2009 models from its manufacturers, it noted that the 2009 models have been slow to come in because of plant shutdowns. This has helped MarineMax move some older inventory, officials said.

Toilet rough-in question
I'm moving a toilet to a location that can't quite get 12" center rough in from the wall. My 3" pvc line can get to about 10 1/2" - 11" before it's blocked by an obstruction in the floor.
I see basically every toilet is for a 12" rough in. Is there enough wiggle room to get away with using one of these on a 10 1/2" or 11" rough? Or is 12" pretty exact and wouldn't work?
199 Attachment(s)
You can get toilets for 10.5" rough but they cost more. Try google.
A standard toilet needs about 12" rough in minimum. Anything less is a pain or won't fit.
Are there disadvantages to 10" toilets? Do they have the same flush power?
Also, I've seen offset flanges. Would that do anything for me?
199 Attachment(s)
10" toilets are basically the same. The bowl is the same and the tank is a little different. IMO, I'd avoid an offset flange if possible. I find them troublesome. The toilet will cost a little more but is no less of a toilet.
Ok, good to know. Thanks. I've also been reading that there are lots of 12" rough toilets that leave a 1"-2" gap to the wall. So maybe when it comes time to install, I'll see if a 12" fits nicely, otherwise return it and go with a 10".
199 Attachment(s)
Seriously though, some of the gaps behind these 12" rough toilets are ridiculous. I had one before that was almost 2" w - t - f ??? :eek:
Keep in mind that you do have some wiggle room on the flange, and the slots in the toilet, but thats 1/4 - 3/8 at most from front to back.
Ok. I think I'm gonna try the 12" first and see if I can fit it, otherwise I'll go with the 10". I prefer to have as little gap as possible anyway. Thanks guys.

IBF Convention: Day 4
Report and Photos by Boxing Bob Newman
Day four of the 29th annual IBF convention in Honolulu, HI was largely composed of the ring officials seminars for both judges and referees. The opening session was a comprehensive judges seminar and ABC certification conducted by veteran judge Duane Ford. Long time referees Jack Reiss and Robert Byrd later conducted the referees seminar.
A ring official since 1979 Ford, served on the Nevada State Athletic Commission and was its chairperson from 1984-90. Ford later helped form and serves as president of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC). At the outset of the judges seminar, Ford outlined the importance of ethics, conduct, preparation as a judge. Scoring criteria was without question at the forefront of discussion during the seminar. The scoring tenets of clean punches, defense, effective aggression and ring generalship were examined and interpreted. Examples of each of these criteria were then viewed on a large screen, as seen in several noteworthy fights of recent years. Select rounds of Oscar De La Hoya – Ricardo Mayorga, Jesus Chavez – Erik Morales, Yuriorkis Gamboa – Orlando Salido, Sergio Martinez – Matthew Macklin, Kevin Kelly – Derrick Gainer, Robert Guerrero – Michael Katsidis were among the partial fights reviewed. There were cases of knockdowns, very even fighting in close quarters and even fouling which affected the judges' views and scores in those particular rounds. At the end of the scoring practicum, the ABC judges written exam was administered.
After a lunch break, the referees seminar was conducted, as was the case last year, by referees Robert Byrd and Jack Reiss. Reiss has been a referee for fourteen years, starting in California, while Byrd began his career as a ref in 1981, also in California, before relocating to Nevada in 2001.
Reiss briefly called on father and son referees Roberto Ramirez Sr. and Jr. to stand and be recognized. Both men were recently involved in the two tremendous wars between Orlando Salido and Juan Manuel Lopez in Puerto Rico. Lopez suffered TKO losses in each bout and later accused both father and son of being gamblers and having a vested interest in the outcome of the fight. Reiss applauded both refs for standing up publicly against the accusations of "Juanma," ironically a fellow Puerto Rican. Both men received a round of applause from their fellow ring officials.
Reiss began by reviewing blatant foul situations in recent boxing history: the low blows of both Golota-Bowe fights, Hamed-Soto tackles, Concepcion-Luevano knockout after the bell, Judah-Mayweather low blow and ring melee afterward, Trinidad-Vargas retaliation low blow, Hatton-Tszyu retaliation low blow, and so forth. Reiss then visited the concept of incidental fouls and stressed the old adage of "No harm, no foul."
Referee Pat Russell took the mic during a review of the first Hopkins-Dawson match in which Hopkins suffered a shoulder injury after being thrown to the canvas by Dawson. The initial ruling by Russell was a TKO for Dawson. Eventually, after a hearing by the California Athletic Commission, the ruling was changed to a "No decision," with Hopkins retaining his title. Russell had testified at that hearing that in hind sight, it should have been a no decision all along.
Robert Byrd then conducted scenarios in the ring, utilizing two local amateur boxers who carried out those pre-determined scenarios, to test participating referees' skills in addressing each scenario. Situations included double knockdowns, low blows, a fighter trying to return immediately to fighting after being knocked down without taking the mandatory eight count. After the practical ring session, a written test was administered to the gathered officials.

Here's a funny finding: The youngest members of the workforce aren't the drivers of social technology use in business. How can this be? Haven't we been told that the generation that made MySpace and Facebook popular would be the one that dragged stodgy, old companies kicking and screaming into a 21st century where corporate hierarchy is flattened through Web 2.0? Don't companies need to adopt wikis and blogs in order to recruit and retain Gen Yers? Well, the early returns say the answer is, "no."
Posted by TJ Keitt on August 6, 2009
Recently, I was on a call where a senior executive wondered whether or not kids entering the workforce in the next 5 years can write complete sentences now that everyone texts. For me, this is another example in an old story: fear (and some loathing) of Gen Y's entrance into the workplace. And frankly, as a 20-something, I think a lot of it is unfounded.
At no time is this fear more clear than when the conversation turns to approaches and technologies related to collaboration and Web 2.0 – areas that I cover for vendor strategy professionals. At this point I think I've heard it all. "Gen Y is bringing in unsecure consumer technology!" "We have to adopt wikis and social networks to recruit college graduates!" "Email is dead because the kids don't use it!" Being a good sport about this, I've tried to shrug it off as the typical complaining one generation does about its kids. But the longer I cover this space, the more I believe this isn't going away for two reasons:

Industry voices
Farmland investing in California: Withstanding a historic drought
California is the nation's most productive agricultural state and is home to a $35 billion agricultural industry. It is also bone dry.
After three consecutive years of below-normal rainfall, California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency in January. B. Lynn Ingram, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, says the state might be on track for the worst drought in 500 years.
Investors with direct or even indirect exposure to the agricultural sector are paying close attention to headlines like these and wondering if the drought will affect their portfolios. While agricultural investments typically remain stable during extreme weather, this drought highlights the need for a farmland investment process that incorporates sound risk-management principles to mitigate the potential harm caused by events such as droughts.
The risks and rewards of farmland investing
Investments in farmland offer significant benefits that make them a solid choice for a well-diversified portfolio, including current cash income, appreciation over time and inflation protection. Consider this: From 1970 to 2009, agricultural land values, as measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service database, outperformed both domestic stocks and bonds on an annualized basis, returning 10.25% compared to 6.24% for the S&P 500 and 7.3% for 10-year Treasuries. Land values also handily outpaced inflation, which averaged 4.36% during the period. What's more, farmland diversifies a portfolio in two important ways: Farmland prices are uncorrelated with stocks and bonds; and farmland is globally dispersed across continents and hemispheres, providing geographic diversification.
Several powerful, long-term trends bode well for farmland value: a growing global population, changing dietary habits; and a shrinking supply of arable land. The world's population grows by about 25 million people a year; to keep up, agricultural producers will have to nearly double their output by 2050, when the world is expected to have 9 billion people. Meanwhile, as the world has more mouths to feed, people in the developing world are becoming more prosperous and consuming more meat, which requires that they buy even more corn and grain to feed livestock. In addition, alternative fuel production — primarily ethanol and biodiesel l— is boosting demand for arable land.
Of course, every asset class has its risks. As investments, real assets such as farmland are subject to fluctuations in property values, as well as higher expenses or lower income than expected. They sometimes do not have sufficient cash flows and might need additional capital. Other risks include a lack of liquidity (i.e., few potential buyers), and investing in emerging markets can carry higher political and financial risks than in developed markets. However, expertise, local connections and a long-term investment horizon can significantly reduce these hazards.
Planning for water shortages before a drought
Pests and weather also pose risks to crop yields, but a season or even several seasons of drought should not have a long-term impact on farmland investing. In fact, farmers are used to dealing with droughts, pests and floods. Drought is a well understood, age-old risk that can be anticipated and mitigated. The stability of the water supply should be a primary focus of due diligence during the property acquisition process. At TIAA-CREF, this review includes research on the following water-related subjects:
- historical rainfall;
- stability of the underground aquifer in the area of the property;
- availability and reliability of surface water from state, federal, or local water districts;
- the willingness of water districts to work with land owners to buy, sell and store water;
- availability of banked water supplies (water stored or "banked" underground);
- presence of "excess" land with water rights that could be used for the benefit of permanent crops; and
- riparian water rights.
Where possible, investors should seek to acquire properties with multiple sources of water, such as reliable groundwater wells that supplemented by the right to receive surface water from water districts. Properties that are not serviced by water districts are located in areas with historically reliable ground water supplies. Furthermore, for those properties that typically receive most of their water from water districts, which are likely to have very limited supplies available in 2014, building large supplies of banked water should ensure availability.
In addition to acquiring land with fundamentally strong water supplies, actively managing farms may offset, to the extent possible, the impact of drought conditions. Strategies to accomplish this may include the installation of water-conserving technologies such as drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems; acquiring and banking water when possible; and winter transfers of underground banked water to above-ground storage to make the water more readily available to the farm during dry periods.
A long-term view
We view the current drought in California as essentially a westward expansion of drought conditions that have plagued more eastern parts of the country for several years, particularly in the Midwest where the water table has been dropping steadily. But it's important to note that these droughts have had no material negative impact on farmland values in the Midwest. That doesn't mean the danger of droughts, pests and floods are to be ignored; indeed, planning for these hazards is critical to maximizing returns and managing farmland investment risk. We believe that farmland is among several private investments in real assets that offer the potential for competitive risk-adjusted returns, a hedge against inflation and improved portfolio diversification.

Technical Abstract: 'Banks', named after Heartsill G. Banks (the first UA Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) director in 1926), was released to seed growers during 2004. Developed at the RREC, Banks is a high yielding variety with the major blast resistance (R) gene Pi-ta and offers a primary advantage over LaGrue and Wells through an increased resistance to common rice blast races. The Pi-ta gene provides resistance to common blast races IB-49 and IC-17 but is known to be susceptible to rare races such as IE-1k. Under the highly conducive environmental conditions of 2004, approximately 20 acres of a 'Banks' field in Clay County was severely damaged by rice blast. In addition, infrequent blasted plants were recovered from other 'Banks' fields in Clay and Lawrence Counties. Investigations confirmed diseased plants to be 'Banks'. Fungal isolates from the blasted plants were tentatively characterized as race IE-1k of Magnaporthe grisea. Pi-ta based cultivars including Katy, Kaybonnet, Drew and Ahrent were widely utilized in Arkansas production areas during the 15 years since Katy was released in 1989. Race IE-1k, discovered soon after the release of Katy and considered a potential threat to Arkansas rice production, was believed to be "poorly environmentally adapted" because incidence has been limited to a few random plants infrequently discovered in commercial fields and research field plots. Initial results of the pathological characterization of blast isolates from the 'Banks' variety are presented here.

Last year was our first year in your beautiful state. We stayed at Hayburn state park and me and my son really enjoyed fishing there for pike and sunfish and perch. Now that were coming back for our vacation from Canada I was wondering where and if there were perch to fish for on Lake Pend Oreille ? We would be offshore but was just wondering if you had any info for us thanks so much!
Yes, there are certainly perch in Lake Pend Oreille. They can be accessed from the shore in many areas. On the northeast portion of the lake, the Denton Slough area is a good place to fish for them, as would be the Clark Fork Delta around the drift yard. The area around Hope can be good also, but much of that shoreline is rocky. You'd be able to find plenty of smallmouth bass around the rocky areas, but not a lot of perch. On the northern end of the lake, the Sunnyside Road and Hawkins point would be good for perch , and around Hawkin's Point toward the Pack River delta. On the south end of the lake, the area around Buttonhook Bay (at Farragut State Park) ought to be good for perch.
Good luck and enjoy the trip to Idaho!

Citation: American Society Agronomy Abstracts, 2006 International Meetings, Indianapolis, IN Nov 12-16, 2006, on CD, © Copyright 2006, ASA-CSSA-SSSA Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The effect of N-fertilization, fertilizer type and cropping systems on trace gas emissions from agricultural soils under rain fed agriculture has been widely reviewed. However, there is little information concerning trace gas fluxes from the semi-arid irrigated soils in the Pacific Northwest. Potato production in sandy irrigated soil with intensive fertilization is a common practice in eastern Washington. This agricultural management practices may increase yield but may also influence trace gas (CO2, N2O, and CH4) production and consumption. Research findings, using indirect N-budget estimates, suggest greater loss of applied N fertilizer either through nitrification-denitrification or/and volatilization in irrigated sandy soils. The study was conducted in 2005 on Quincy Sandy soil (Mixed, Mesic Typic Torripsamments) using center pivot irrigation system cropped to sweet corn and potato (potato-corn-corn rotation) with 336 Kg/ha N (112 Kg/ha N at pre-plant and 224 Kg/ha N in-season fertilizer application) and tillage practices (conventional and reduced tillage). Fluxes were measured an hour after fertigation, using vented chambers, every week during the cropping season (May 24 through August 24, 2005) and monthly for the rest of the year. Methane uptake in the native site was 193 g of CH4-C/ha and it is on an average 1.5 times more than in the potato and corn fields. The oxidation of methane in the native shrub steppe site acts as terrestrial sink and accounts 0.23% of the C emitted as CO2. The emission rates of N2O and CO2 were higher at time of fertigation and no significant differences were observed between crops and tillage practices. Cumulative, CO2 and N20 fluxes from corn and potato fields were 14 and 22 times greater than the native site, respectively for the growing season. N20-N losses accounted for 0.2% (0.5 kg N/ha) of the applied fertilizer (224 kg N/ha).

Family, Friends, Colleagues Honor Bill Schnier
May 14, 2013
CINCINNATI -Hundreds of family, friends and colleagues gathered at the University of Cincinnati Saturday evening to honor and celebrate men's cross country and track and field coach Bill Schnier, who will retire in June after coaching the Bearcats for 33 years.
The celebration, which took place inside UC's Great Hall at the Tangeman University Center, was led by master of ceremonies John Wagner and featured guest speakers UC Director of Athletics Whit Babcock, Emily Wolterman Herman, Muhammad Saafir, Keller Schnier and Rodney Van Johnson.
Wagner, who graduated from UC in 1971, was a graduate assistant for the men's track and field program and was immediately connected to Coach Schnier, as are most people.
"Coach Schnier had an amazing impact on my life," said UC Senior Associate Athletics Director Maggie McKinley. "He recruited me right out of high school, and I've been at the University of Cincinnati ever since. He had such a positive influence on me, and I know I wouldn't be where I am today if he wasn't a part of that at age 17."
Schnier began his career at UC in 1980 and garnered 12 team conference titles, 164 individual and relay titles, 25 NCAA Championship qualifiers, 10 All-Americans, two Olympic medalists and was named coach of the year 15 times.
Milling around the room, conversations of Schnier's character filled the Great Hall.
"I graduated with an engineering degree and was able to get a really good job with a Fortune 500 company," said former standout Antione Drakeford, who still holds the school record for the 400-meter dash. "All of that would not have been possible if Bill wouldn't have given me a scholarship... I wouldn't be where I am now, the position I'm in now or accomplish anything I did in college without Bill's advice, without his influence."
As Wagner stated, "It isn't what you say it's what you do." One thing Coach Schnier has done is stand as a father figure for the many student-athletes that have trekked UC's campus. From the videos to the side conversations, from the invocation to the speakers, it is obvious Schnier had an indelible impact on all those he encountered.
Saafir, the youngest of five children to a single mother, grew up in one of Cleveland, Ohio's poorest neighborhoods. Financially marginalized, Saafir never thought he would go to college. Two weeks after the Ohio State High School Championships, he received a call from Schnier and was given a scholarship. Saafir, who received the Best Freshman award during the 2000-01 season, is now a physician.
From Saafir and Drakeford to Rodney Van Johnson and Olympian Mary Wineberg, Schnier was the father figure they never had. Wolterman Herman, a teacher for Lakota Local Schools (Ohio) and former pole vaulter, echoed these sentiments stating, "Bill was always a father figure and great neighbor, and I was fortunate to have a coach I knew so well."
Keller Schnier knows Bill as both a father and coach. Keller, the youngest of three, thought of Bill as a "normal guy". But there is not much normal about someone who stays at one institution for 33 years, coaches thousands of student-athletes, is named Conference USA Coach of the Decade for both cross country and track and field and had 47 of UC's 53 school records set during his tenure. The stats on Bill Schnier are extraordinary, but his impact on people's lives is immeasurable.
"It is so great to see so many people from different eras and different parts of his life here," said Keller.
All the people in attendance, including his longtime mentor, Sam Bell, those who could not make it and those who have passed are a part of his team. Schnier stated that he would miss not having a team.
Keller stated, "It is true that he will not be in charge of a collection of collegiate athletes every day like he has been the last 33 years [at UC] and 46 years in coaching, but he'll always have a team.
"His team spans across decades," Keller continued. "It spans across the entire country, even internationally, across all events and across all walks of life."
The legacy of Schnier's teams will continue, thanks to Babcock who recently reinstated scholarships for the program and brought back to UC the men's indoor track and field program.
"Like everyone in the room, he's made an impact on my life in a short time and made me a better athletic director, a better person and better father," Babcock said. "We designated this whole last year `The Year in Schnier'... Moving forward the track and field offices and those suites will forever be named in honor of Bill and his family, and there's no better name to be on those."
For Babcock, Bill Schnier epitomizes character and confidence and is in the mold that has impacted lives at the level of John Wooden.
After throwing out the first pitch at the Bearcats' baseball game Saturday afternoon, Schnier was overwhelmed with the love and support from friends, family and colleagues at his celebration. Recognizing how much people have impacted him, Schnier honored those who have taught him life-long lessons.
"You're here to honor me because I've been the teacher, but anyone who's ever been a teacher knows that the teacher learns as much from the students as the students learn from the teacher," said Schnier.
"And over a thousand people who ran for me I must say thank you so much for those who listened, thanks to those who laughed with me, and at me," Schnier continued. "Thanks for all those who treated one another with kindness."
Bill Schnier may be hanging up his spikes, stopwatch and whistle, but he will never lose his fervor for life.
"I've loved all phases of my life from start to finish, and this is just one of those phases," Schnier said. "It's not going to be the last ... I look forward to the future, the unknown future, and that's the most beautiful of all - the unknown.
"All I can say to everyone here tonight, and those not here, is thank you from the bottom of my heart."
The legacy of Bill Schnier is deep-rooted and enduring. He has touched thousands of lives in his 46 years of coaching and 33 years at UC. As he leaves the program, he will remain ingrained in the makeup of UC athletics and knows once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat.
