Four candidates, one by proxy, for two Holmes County Commissioner seats faced the issues squarely Thursday at West Holmes High School.
Incumbent Roger Clark, a Republican, and candidates Richard Graven, also a Republican, and his opponent Jack Whitney, who is running as an independent, addressed about 65 people at the Holmes County Farm Bureau-sponsored event. Clark's opponent William Tipton, a Democrat, who is in the hospital, was represented by a friend, Glen Hennis.
Farm Bureau member Lucille Hastings asked each candidate for a three-minute response to six issues. The first question concerned land use and loss of farm land in Holmes County. Graven, who was recently injured in an accident and remained seated during the program, said as a sixth-generation farmer, he has "tremendous interest" in this very important subject. "Farms are our treasure and need to be preserved for future generations," he said.
In response to a question about strong fiscal responsibility for county government, Clark said the commissioners go over proposed bills and vouchers weekly. "We try to pay close attention to how money is spent ...We try to go the extra step and look ahead with two-, three- and four-year budgets to see where our revenues are going," he said.
The main thing would be to develop a budget and work closely with the auditor to hold costs down, Whitney said.
All four candidates agreed the problem of the landfill is among the most pressing issues in the county. Among other problems, Clark cited the county's infrastructure, Whitney added the issue of traffic created by tourism and Tipton expressed concern about the sanitary sewer system.
When ask what they viewed as the most important action by commissioners during the past five years, Graven said the sales tax imposed to fund the 911 service was of benefit to everyone. Tipton disagreed with the amount of money spent to convert the old jail into an office building. Clark commended that project as well as the conversion of the old IGA store into the Clinton Street office building. Whitney said the Department of Human Services building was too costly.
Clark said his long-range plan for Holmes County includes a balanced budget, keeping the finances strong and developing a comprehensive land use plan. Graven said his goals include improved communication and addressing the problems of increased traffic flow.
Tipton said he would "be as conservative as possible and not rely on the taxpayer for everything." Whitney's priorities would be preserving farm land and using tax money wisely.
Clark and Graven supported zoning only on an individual township basis, while Whitney said Holmes County is not big enough for zoning. Hennis asked people to write down any questions and he would forward them to Tipton, who would answer with a personal call.
Bob Gibbs of Nashville, who is the Ohio Farm Bureau president, spoke briefly on Issue I which will be on the Nov. 7 ballot. He said the Farm Bureau supports the proposal that would give the state authority to issue $4 million in bonds for recreation space, green space and stream and watershed preservation.
Richard Gerhan, also speaking on behalf of the Farm Bureau, proposed a resolution that would require the commissioners to give an annual state-of-the-county address.
The 1.5-mill replacement levy for the Holmes County Home was promoted by Richard Uhl, a member of the county home auxiliary.

RACING NSW stewards are still demanding NRL legend Andrew Johns, Sydney brothel owner Eddie Hayson and former jockey Allan Robinson appear at the More Joyous inquiry on Monday.
It is understood the three key witnesses are reluctant to attend with Robinson already indicating through his lawyer, Chris Murphy, that he won't appear due to health reasons.
Chief steward Ray Murrihy said last night it was hoped all persons relevant to the investigation would make themselves available at Monday's inquiry into More Joyous's poor run in the All Aged Stakes last week.
Murphy said Robinson's "health issues" meant he is not up to being cross-examined at a stewards inquiry.
"Allan will not be going to the More Joyous inquiry," Murphy said. "He is in no position to endure the stress.
"He pushed himself to undergo the Today Tonight interview to tell of his simple role in the More Joyous investigation. I am hoping that Allan will be up to providing another account of his minor involvement in a few telephone calls that put Andrew Johns and John Singleton in contact."
But when pressed on Robinson's declaration he is a no-show due to illness, Murrihy made it clear he still wants the ex-jockey to appear.
"We have been in touch with Allan Robinson today and taken a statement from him," Murrihy said last night.
"As part of our inquiry, we have also requested he appear on Monday."
Johns met with Racing NSW's chief investigator Nathan Hayward yesterday where he also provided a detailed statement for the stewards inquiry.
The meeting was held at the Darling- hurst offices of Johns's manager, John Fordham. Former ARL chairman and solicitor Colin Love, who is advising Johns, was present at the meeting.
Johns was providing no further comment about the controversial issue which has rocked Sydney racing but Murrihy confirmed stewards have made a request for the former rugby league international to appear at Monday's hearing.
Hayson's role in the affair is still to be determined but he is close friends with Johns and Robinson.
"We have been in touch with Eddie Hayson's legal people and asked him to attend as well," Murrihy added.
More Joyous's owner John Singleton has alleged Johns relayed information from bookie Tom Waterhouse that suggested More Joyous had problems and could not win the All Aged Stakes.
Waterhouse has denied these allegations and maintains he never discussed More Joyous's condition with anyone.
Singleton has subsequently confirmed that Johns and Robinson contacted him about the Gai Waterhouse-trained More Joyous on Saturday morning prior to the All Aged Stakes.
Johns, Hayson and Robinson face being warned off racecourses around the world if they refuse to appear as requested at the inquiry.

Wellington: New Zealand and Australian Test cricketers are likely to be unavailable for the first half of next year's Indian Premier League tournament.
The 2010 tournament is scheduled to run from March 12 to April 25, and will be returning to India after this year's tournament was shifted to South Africa due to security concerns.
But Australia's five-week tour of New Zealand will almost certainly result in a number of players being unavailable to represent their IPL franchises early in next year's tournament, stuff.co.nz reports.
The two-Test series will run until March 31, while the IPL group stage will go until April 19.

HearData: a sound player for data
The purpose of the program is to play sound of oscillating data stored in xy-formatted text files. Such a text file would contain (typically two) columns of data. For example, as is shown below, we may have a position-momentum plot:
0.0 0.1
0.35 0.8
1.35 1.2
2.0 0.4
2.2 -0.1
1.1 -1.3
.. ..
.. ..
.. ..
Say the above data is your PQ (momentum-position) data, for
equispaced time points ti. The data in column 1 is
Q(ti) and the data in
column 2 is P(ti), where i is the time step index,
i.e. the row index.
Then you may play your data using the HearData app
on this page. There are three requirements for the data:
(1) Your data should be oscillatory (about zero).
(2) There need to be enough samples.
(3) And finally, your data should represent functions of equispaced time points ti.
The data needs to be oscillatory, because your ear has a range of audible frequencies and cannot hear DC, and also because an algorithm that is used requires the data to be oscillatory about zero (more on this later). Regarding point (2): There need to be enough datapoints, since for only 1 second of sound (representing unmodified data) you would need 8000 datapoints. In typical simple numerical differential equations programming, one seldom records more than several thousand datapoints; playing out this data directly to sound would usually produce a burst of sound so short that it would impossible for the human ear and mind to get any qualitative impression of the data. There are several methods to modify the data. For example, a popular method would be to take a single frequency and modulate its amplitude by the magnitude of the data. In the current program we have implemented only one method. The method does not use amplitude modulation. Instead we play the sound directly---almost. But the raw datapoints are sliced into smaller segments of data which are played back and forth (and then back again); so, this way we only need one third of the samples per second that we would have needed if we had transcribed the raw data to sound directly. The raw data is also interpolated in such a way that twice as many points are produced from the raw data. Thus you need roughly 1300 samples (8000/3/2) to produce one second of sound. Regarding points (3): currently the interpolation is only implemented for equispaced points of time, and data can only be played as functions of the row index (not as a function of another column).
Secondly there are some computer system requirements for running the program.
The web applet is able to play sound with Netscape 4.x or newer browsers. The text buffers need to be large enough to hold the data you paste into it (not an observed problem on Unix work stations but on some PCs). You may want to read some testing information in the program info to avoid any unexpected behavior, then see for yourself. Sound does not seem to play on Netscape 3.x because this applet is not 100% Pure Java (sorry!!), since it needs to call a sound player function in the sun.audio library (which is outside the java.* library).
The java application variant of this program should run
on any system capable of running Java.
Which program should you use?
The web based version is a good choice to demonstrate this program if you are on a Unix (or NT?) machine that is properly configured for multimedia. Remember that web based applets can not do file IO (including reading), hence you need to either paste your data from a good text editor, or you can also press the ``Paste Demo'' button to have a sample text of an chaotic damped and driven pendulum (velocity vs timestep) motion pasted in for you.
The java application is much nicer, because it will let you load your data file and also finally let you save the result as an (.au) sound file. The .au file is a standard format that you should be able to play with a mulitmedia tool on your system; there also exist tools that will let you manipulate the sound. However, to run the HearData java-app, you will need to download and install the files yourself. Naturally, you must also have java installed.
Applet: The first screen in the applet allows you to set some options before you process the sound. The options are:
1.) Volume; use the slider.
2.) Select the column of data to be processed for sound; enter a positive integer in the text field ``col= ... ''.
3.) Slice; this allows you to control how the data is to be cut up into slices (which are to be played back, forth, and back again). For example 10 Hz slice would be 100 ms long.
You may select these options as appropriate for the data you paste into
the large text window. Press ``Paste Demo'' or paste in your own data, then
press ``Enter and Process'' to process the data. Wait a couple of seconds.
If there is an error your choices are to (press) ``Ignore..'' the error
or press ``Clear'' to restart. Wait until the data is displayed graphically
and you are given the options to ``Play'', ``Stop'', and ``Clear'' (restart).
Java Application: We assume that you are in a command prompt (shell). Go to the directory where the files are installed. Enter the following:java HearData
A file dialog will appear. Load the demo data file: locate the file called demo.dat; select it, and press ``Open''. The next file dialog will appear asking you for a file to save, type some name ending in `.au', for example ``demo.au'', into the ``Selection'' field, and press ``Save''. Now wait until the applet constructs and pops up. From this point, the instructions should be very similar to instructions for the applet .
When you finally press ``quit'', go to the shell and observe that the shell asks you (prompts) whether you want to save the file. Press the appropriate key. The file will be saved before the program exits.

Vietnam-Cambodia-Thailand by boat
Officials float sea channel plan
January 30, 2013
KIEN GIANG, 30 January 2013: A sea route connecting the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang in Vietnam with Cambodias Sihanoukville and Thailands Trat province will be introduced to shipping companies this year.
Kien Giangs provincial Department of Culture, Tourism and Sports director, Le Minh Hoang, said Vietnamese and Thai authorities had already agreed to open the sea route that connects with Cambodia. Kien Giang and Thailands Trat and Chanthaburi provinces discussed the project last week.
The route will be cover tourist sites Ha Tien, Rach Gia and Phu Quoc in Vietnam, Sihanoukville in Cambodia, Trat and Chanthaburi in Thailand.
The director said: It will help tourists cut travelling time between the three nations. It will take visitors about two and a half hours to go to Sihanoukville by boat from Phu Quoc in Vietnam and two more hours to go to Trat.
The sea times appeared remarkably short and would be determined by the kind of boats could be commissioned for the service which was not explained in statements.
The sea route when functioning should attract international visitors, particularly European travellers, the director said.
Vietnam will also benefit from the route as many foreign visitors travelling to Thailand and Cambodia would also like to visit Phu Quoc Island that lies off-shore of Kien Giang province, he said.
However, all the three countries lack suitable cruise ships to serve route. No time-frame was mentioned by officials suggesting this project has not been fully embraced by private sector shipping companies prepared to make an hefty investment in ships and service support.
In Kien Giang, only the Duong Dong shipping company is qualified, so we will encourage more local companies to commission ships with a capacity of 250 to 300 tourists to serve the route, he indicated.
Kien Giang province is located in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam, 250 km from the Ho Chi Minh City, and close to Kampot province in Cambodia on a shared border of 54 km.

found some earlier info, with makes the first item less likely, been considered before and nothing eventuated
The pier mentioned/proposed at Laem Sing is about 6km further inland at Tha Chalaep, used by dive/tour boats, across the river there is a navy minesweeper being restored. No sign of any cruise ships.
This pic from 1935 - no further info other than named as SS Nibba - maybe went from Tha Chalaep to Chao Phraya/Bangkok?
Chanthaburi is building a pier at Paknam Laem in Laem Sing district capable of handling cruise ships in the hope of attracting tourists from Cambodia, Vietnam and other countries.
According to the province's deputy governor Pongsathorn Satjachonlapan, the pier, complete with immigration and customs
facilities, would need an investment of 20 million baht in the first phase and is expected to become operational around March next year.
Already, he said, Chanthaburi is a proven attraction for businessmen from Vietnam and Cambodia and he is hoping that its appeal would spill over to tourists in those countries, as well as tourists from other parts of the world cruising the Gulf of Thailand in luxury ships.
The second phase, a much bigger undertaking, will require an investment of 700 million baht, for which bids will be called in due course.

Back in the day, a romantic period, public boats ran up and down the Mekong from Luang Prabang to the Gulf of Siam - servicing the communities as needed.
Regional wars and modern geopolitics ended these water taxi services.

So hard2port has gone. Banned, on one of my seeds no less. I heard from him today and among other things this is what he had to say
Since I raised my aim on RWNJ's from the shins to the bollocks, I kind of expected it. I was hoping to garner as big of a non-fan club as you have. I guess I succeeded. I was no Saint on NV and probably deserved what I got. Water under the bridge. I'll be sure and send you a note when I re-reg. /s LOL!
So I think it a fitting moment to look at some of the moments that made hard2port such a great member of this community. The good, the bad and the ugly!
Old, white, pissed-off liberal. Yeah.
Ya think?!!!
C'ya teabaggers
Could always rely on that one!
Or gems like this
Tear up those checks or donate them to a charity, teabags. You don't deserve them and you're not worth it. C'ya!
Of course we also had things like this
Burn teabags, burn.
I rescind that statement and stand corrected.
hard2port, rescinded or no, three-word deathwishing wildfire victims based on political allegiance is garbage.Threesuspensions in under two months isn't much better.
You're suspended for a week for violating #5 of the Code of Honor.
You can edit comments for up to three minutes after you post. You can also take a minute before you click 'post comment'. I strongly recommend considering this before you break the rules again.
But we also had a gem of a find, take him out of politics and we had a viner with a wicked sense of humor, a very big heart and a real part of this community. So I thought I would take a minute to say C'ya hard2port. And BTW it is really difficult to do a find farewell signature comments for someone that hid practically EVERYTHING on his column - you hear me h2p? ggrrrrr!!!! LOL

Pledge to end bullying
Defence Correspondent

Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston salutes a ceremonial honour guard
Photo: Penny Bradfield
Australia's new defence chief, Angus Houston, started work yesterday with a promise to personally head the drive to wipe out bullying and reform the way the military metes out justice.
Air Chief Marshal Houston, who takes over from the army's General Peter Cosgrove, said an early priority would be to deal with the issues raised in last month's damning parliamentary inquiry into the military justice system.
"That is something that involves not only the military justice system," he said. "It also involves the way we treat our people. Clearly we will be very focused on that".
Air Chief Marshal Houston said Defence was preparing a comprehensive plan to set the system right.
"I undertake to basically drive that implementation plan from the top," he said.
"The chiefs and I will not tolerate any form of abuse in our system. We will eliminate bullying and all forms of harassment, and we take that very, very seriously."
The Senate inquiry revealed a picture of suicide, racism and violence, drug use and abuse of power in some units and said the ADF should be stripped of much of its power to investigate complaints of abuse and crime in the military.
Air Chief Marshal Houston joined the Royal Australian Air Force as a cadet in 1970 and became a helicopter pilot. He quickly built himself a career as a flyer and a strategist, and in 2001 took over as chief of the air force. He has a strong reputation in the RAAF for intelligence and compassion, and for standing by his personnel and their families.
He is also a straight talker who blew the whistle on the Federal Government's false claims that asylum seekers threw children into the sea just before the 2001 election.
Yesterday he said his plans were very clear, and that the intent of the three service chiefs was very much aligned with his aims.
"We are deeply committed to doing whatever it takes," he said. "Now that might involve some action in regard to the military justice system and it also needs to take into account the fundamental way we treat our people right through the whole system," he said.
"We need to treat our people with compassion and care, with consideration."
Air Chief Marshal Houston said the Australian Defence Force was continuing to provide advice to the Government on the possible deployment of Australian troops to Afghanistan.
He said he and the service chiefs would visit Australia's troops in Iraq.
The ALP welcomed Air Chief Marshal Houston's comments on his aims for the job.
"This is an excellent signal to send out in his very first day in the job," Opposition defence spokesman Robert McClelland said.
Defence Minister Robert Hill said General Cosgrove's three years at the helm of the ADF had been a particularly busy period for the military, and he had done a magnificent job leading the ADF in very challenging times.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 8.0922. Friday, 12 September 1997.
Date: Thursday, 11 Sep 1997 14:10 -0500
Subject: TEMPEST in Washington DC
I went to see The Tempest last night, as performed by The Shakespeare
Theatre in Washington DC, and oddly enough, during a post show
discussion, Ted van Griethuysen, who plays Prospero commented on how
much more he liked this production than their 1990 version, in which he
played the same role. Odd for me, in as much as that was possibly the
first Shakespearean play I ever attended, definitely the first I'd seen
with this company and a lot of the reason I now subscribe. This
production is wonderful, worth seeing and if your memory goes back to
the 1990 version, I would be curious to hear how you think they
compare. I remember liking the old production, but the details have
In Washington's Shakespeare Theatre, Ted van Griethuysen holds the
monopoly on pompous old men, and as Prospero, it serves him well.
Prospero's moments of cruelty and his anger at himself come through much
clearer in this faded old man who once had much power. You learn to
appreciate his circumstance if not to like him so much. Wallace Acton
gives us a very solid almost earthy Ariel, who flits only occasionally,
injects some puckish style humor, gives us a real sense of his desire
for freedom and truly illuminates Prospero's own struggle with his
humanity. I assume that the slapstick of Stephano and Trinculo is
similar to the schtick they used 400 years ago, but David Sabin and
Floyd King make it funny all over again. And Caliban is played as the
noble black savage by Chad Colemen.
Coleman's Caliban was the character who touched me the most, but I
should like to one day see how Caliban is played as a white monster,
rather than a black slave. The three goddesses from the masque (Iris,
Ceres, and Juno) were also cast with black actresses, and it was
mentioned during the discussion that Ariel was also originally to have
been black, but there was some sort of casting snafu. I admit, after
the masque, I was wondering how this pale fairy ended up among all these
darker native spirits. The masque is staged to highlight the hollowness
of Prospero's art, dissolving from obvious theatrics, prompting laughter
from the crowd, into an elaborate production, which Prospero then pulls
The set avoids entirely an "island" feel, with a surprising amount of
the action occurring within a library; not a cell full of books, but
something like an ivy league library. This later becomes a path that
seems to stretch into infinity and in one of the most visually exciting
moments, Prospero stands on this path delivering the "break my staff"
speech, he looks completely like a wizard at the edge of the universe.
Get there early, as there is some curious pre-show business that merits
some consideration.

John Wall and Eric Bledsoe shared a back court for one season at Kentucky and have faced each other numerous times in pickup games and practices, and a handful of times in the NBA. Wall and Bledsoe opposed each other as NBA starters for the first time last season, when Bledsoe was filling in for Chris Paul and Wall led the Wizards to a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Though Wall will find himself mostly guarding point guard Goran Dragic when the Wizards host the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday at Verizon Center, he is looking forward to the occasional times that he is matched up with Bledsoe.
"I'm excited," Wall said. "He's like a brother to me. Me, him, DeMarcus [Cousins] always spend time together when we get to the same city. Always hanging out. Plan trips in the summer. Our families get along very well, like we're from the same mother and father."
Wall was disappointed when Bledsoe suffered a torn meniscus two months ago and missed the Wizards' 101-95 victory in Phoenix. But Bledsoe has since returned and helped the Suns go 6-1 since being inserted back into the starting lineup alongside Dragic. Bledsoe has scored at least 20 points in each of his past three games, all Suns wins, and continues to have a breakout campaign despite the setback.
"It's great to see him get out of the shadow of playing behind me at Kentucky and playing behind Chris Paul in L.A. and get the opportunity in Phoenix to help that team fight for a playoff spot right now. I think if he didn't get injured, he'd probably be most improved, in my opinion," Wall said. "Seeing as we both competitive people that played against each other in practice, it'll be fun and exciting."
Wall was devastated when Bledsoe had to have a second knee surgery in three years after finally getting the opportunity to start in Phoenix. Bledsoe will be a restricted free agent this summer .
"Just stay strong," Wall said he told him. "Last summer, I dealt with it, not having to have surgery but just had to sit out for two or three months, and trying to stay mentally prepared and focused. And I know it's tough with the kind of season he was having."
Wall said he could spot the potential in Bledsoe the moment he showed up in Lexington, a move that forced Bledsoe to move over to shooting guard. "Just because of the season I was having and who I was coming in, it was tough. I think he just shocked a lot of people," Wall said. "A lot of people put attention on me and they gave him the opportunity to free up and he won some games for them and played big for us in a lot of those games. we was a great dynamic duo.
"Just playing pickup with him and being on different teams in practice and competing against each other and trying to make each other better each day, I kind of knew what he had," Wall said. "He shocked himself, because he didn't think he'd have the opportunity to leave after one year. He was doubted himself, but me and the other teammates knew what he was capable of and how much he meant to our team. He thought he was going to be there four years."
In their lone meeting as starters last season, Bledsoe had the statistical edge, scoring 17 points with nine assists, while Wall had 15 points and eight assists. But Wall scored six points in the fourth quarter, including a huge jumper and dunk, as the Wizards won, 98-90.
Bledsoe's apprenticeship behind Paul ended when the Clippers dealt him to the Suns last summer, giving him the starting job in which both Paul and Wall predicted Bledsoe would succeed. The fourth-year guard is averaging career highs of 17.4 points and 5.7 assists, dramatic improvements from his career averages of 8.2 points and 3.4 assists. The Suns are 18-7 with Bledsoe and Dragic in the starting lineup.
"He's going to be a great point guard in this league," Wall said he told himself when he heard about Bledsoe heading to Phoenix. "All it does is take time, and you kind of seen. I already knew when he played what he could do when he'd get the opportunity. You could tell when he played in the playoffs, he had big games, playing just 15 or 20 minutes. That lets you know what a player can do when he has a team that trusts him."

Thu. November 26, 2009 | Joey Knight | Email
TAMPA — On Fridays in the fall, they would convene at Southwest Port Tampa Park and play until well past dusk. As many as 30 neighborhood prepubescents showed up for these games of eight-man football.
Sometimes, the turnout was so great, two games were staged at once. On dry days, they would play tackle. If it rained, flags were used. Sweaty and sometimes grimy, they then would adjourn in time to make kickoff for the Robinson High games at nearby Jack Peters Field.
"Everybody had that raw talent," junior safety Marqus Baker recalled.
This is the origin of the 2009 Knights, as home-grown a team as you'll find in Hillsborough County. Baker, multi-purpose threat Frankie Williams, quarterback Blake Rice, fullback Rob Smith, linebacker Steve Baker, wideout Ruben Gonzalez, two-way tackle Quinton Preston — all (and many others) were spawned from that sandlot.
Perhaps more amazingly, they never drifted far from it. In an era of rampant prep football free agency, these Knights serve as a 9-2 testament of what can happen when a nucleus of neighborhood kids stick together.
"We never thought about, like, just leaving and going to another school because everybody's just friends here and stuff," Marqus Baker said. "The chemistry brought us together and kept us together."
Tonight, this veritable band of brothers — reared through the Tampa Bay Youth Football League, and later Coleman and Monroe middle schools — hosts Wauchula Hardee in the Class 2A playoffs. With a win, Robinson will find itself two victories from a state title.
Along the way, it has endured middle-school mediocrity, a one-win freshman season, a 2-8 sophomore year, and the gnawing temptation to go play at a more successful program.
"There's no doubt in my mind these guys had the opportunity to go someplace else," coach Mike DePue said.
"I don't know if they all got together and made a little secret pact that they were going to (stay), and we never asked them to take a blood oath to stay at Robinson. But we told them listen to us, do what we ask, work hard in the summer and good things will happen."
Actually, a secret pact isn't far from the truth, Williams says. He admits at one time his mother wanted him to transfer to Plant, and says other players got pressure from their parents to move on.
But from the talent they brandished at Southwest Port Tampa Park, and later in middle school, they knew they could evolve into something special if they didn't fragment.
"We all just talked out of school and we were like, 'If one leaves, we've all got to leave,' " said Williams, who has more than 1,200 all-purpose yards and 14 touchdowns. "We just wanted to stick together, then we decided to stay. …We just fell in love with our coaches and didn't want to abandon them."
The reward for such loyalty: A playoff berth, of course, and a potential dynasty in the making. Nineteen Knights, including virtually every significant skill player, are juniors.
"It feels pretty good," Williams said. "We're partyin'."
Picture: Robinson quarterback Blake Rice is one of several Knights who have stuck with the program, never straying to other schools during the tougher times.

A goal late in the third period by Tomas Tatar proved to be the difference as the Grand Rapids Griffins defeated the Chicago Wolves 4-3 Friday night.
The win was the seventh in a row for the Griffins as they moved into sole possession of first place in the Midwest Division. It was also the sixth consecutive win for goaltender Petr Mrazek, which sets a franchise record for best start by a goaltender.
Tatar opened the scoring at 7:56 of the third period after firing a wrist shot past Chicago goaltender Eddie Lack.
The Wolves had a chance to tie at 5:47 in the second after a penalty shot was awarded to Alex Friesen. Friesen missed wide on his attempt. Chicago would tie the game at 8:25 with a goal from Mark Matheson.
It only took 13 seconds for the Griffins to answer as Mitch Callahan would beat Lack on a partial breakaway at 8:37.
Chris Tanev tied the game at 17:37 after banking a shot off the post to beat Mrazek.
After starting the third period on the power play, the Griffins retook the lead 36 seconds in after Chad Billins scored his first career goal. Billins was second on the team in scoring with his AHL-leading 14 assists.
Chicago answered at 5:53 after Anton Rodin beat Mrazek off a rebound.
Tatar would score the game-winner at 17:47 after taking a pass from Louis-Marc Aubry.
Mrazek finished the night with 25 saves on 28 shots.

text: >Anyone care to lessen my confusion? Yes, I will do that. I am Lachlan Brown and I do Cultural Studies. Some people appear to have a problem with that. I have an introduction to AoIR. Thanks for: "The Association of Internet Researchers is an academic association = dedicated to the advancement of the cross-disciplinary field of Internet = studies. It is a resource and support network promoting critical and = scholarly Internet research independent from traditional disciplines and = existing across academic borders. The association is international in = scope." This is a cultural studies mandate. cross-disciplinarity I'm making an intervention, a long intervention it seems, perhaps a series of interventions covering a number of years, if necessary, into the state of Internet scholarship to identify productive lines of inquiry that scholarship in this field has felt for one reason or another unable or not empowered to take on. They are meant to inflect the course of Internet industry from present trends (which I am sure Industry will welcome) towards ones more compatible with our culture(s) and to help inform our culture(s) at large about Internet. I have considerable experience in the field. It makes common sense to me to intervene here to highlight significant lapses, oversights, absenses, and indeed erasures in Internet scholarship. The intervention may seem confusing, thats partly the point, to de-familiarize or make what you think is normal (and what some people here think is normal is very odd indeed) seem strange, but given the subjects to be discussed confusion along with distress, followed by collective action toward a healing seem appropriate emotions and responses. I have an introduction in the AIR-L. It would help if there was some way of seeing other peoples names, research interests, links and a brief statement of interests, like they used to have (still have?) in MediaMOO. It is difficult to write to peoples queries or interests without knowing their work and affiliations. Dont feel bad about your confusion.

Classes offered by the Cottey students will include dance, acting, vocal music, drumming, and visual arts. Additional Cottey students will act as event coordinators for the children's live performance as well as the children's art gallery.
The student-led workshops will be approximately two hours in length and each class is limited to 12 children. After the classes, family and friends are invited to return to the Community Center to view the live performance of the dance, acting, vocal music, and drumming class participants.
Refreshments will be served during the art gallery viewing for the visual arts class participants immediately following the performance.
To register a child for one of the classes, call the Nevada Community Center at 417-448-2740. Registration will be on a first come basis and continue until each class size limit has been reached.
