Area athletes compete in MHSAA state track and field championships
By Thomas Franz
Posted June 2, 2014
ROCKFORD — For the first time in three years, there is a new team state champion in girls track and field in Division 1.
Oak Park took the title away from Grosse Pointe South at the MHSAA Division 1 state meet on May 31 by collecting 92 points, 42 ahead of second-place Northville.
Locally, Birmingham Seaholm led the way with a fifth-place finish by scoring 30 points, and Grosse Pointe South took sixth with 29 points.
Seaholm did all of its scoring in the distance races and two middle distance relays. The Maples' 3,200-meter relay team of Rachel DaDamio, Brooke Callahan, Patty Girardot and Audrey Belf won with a time of 8 minutes, 59.08 seconds.
Belf capped off her day with a victory in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 10:17.08.
"She (Belf) is not going to take it easy," Seaholm coach Jeff Devantier said of Belf's run in the 2-mile. "She is not one of those girls whose strategy is to wait back and see how the race develops. She's just not that type of a runner."
DaDamio was also a key part of Seaholm's scoring, as she placed in three events. DaDamio took fourth in the 1,600 by finishing in 4:51.15, and she joined Callahan, Rachel Satkiewicz and Kate Owens on the fourth-place 1,600 relay team that finished in 3:56.25.
Devantier, who has been the girls track coach at Seaholm since 1992, said that the fifth-place team finish was Seaholm's highest in his coaching career.
Finishing a point behind the Maples were the Blue Devils from Grosse Pointe South, who came into the state meet as three-time defending state meet champions.
South's day was highlighted by Jasmine Brathwaite, who placed in four events. The senior took second in the 100 with a time of 12.18 seconds, and she finished seventh in the 200 with a time of 26.07 seconds.
"Jasmine (Brathwaite) had an amazing day for our team; she really gave everything to us that she had," South coach Steve Zaranek said. "The race of her career was in the 100 dash, finishing second overall and upsetting several runners who were expected to finish ahead of her. That's just her nature. She's one of the finest competitive athletes I've ever worked with."
Brathwaite was joined by Christy Ford, Tamira McCoy and Elise Grever, who took sixth in the 800 relay that finished in 1:42.88.
Brathwaite, Grever and Ford were joined by sophomore Kayli Johnson, who also placed in the shot put, in the 400 relay that took sixth with a time of 48.98.
South junior Ersula Farrow lived up to her billing as one of the nation's top half-milers, as she won the 800 with a time of 2:07.63.
"It's kind of unusual. We've always traditionally been extremely strong in distance running — that's been consistent from year to year. We've just been blessed the past few years with outstanding sprinters," Zaranek said of his team's state meet scoring.
There were several other notable performers from area athletes.
L'Anse Creuse's Jaevyn Wortham successfully defended her state title in the discus with a throw of 140 feet, 5 inches.
Jailah Mason, of Sterling Heights Stevenson, set a new MHSAA Division 1 state meet record in the high jump by clearing 5-9.25.
Walled Lake Northern's Allyson Goff placed in two events. She won the 100-meter hurdles in 13.8 seconds, and she took third in long jump with a leap of 18-0.75 inches.
Chippewa Valley senior Rachel Walny also placed in two events. Walny took sixth in the 1-mile with a time of 4:54.42, and she also took sixth in the 2-mile in 10:41.11.
On the boys side, Warren De La Salle finished best among area teams with 23 points, which was good for sixth place. East Kentwood won with 71 points, 21 ahead of second-place Oak Park.
Brandon Piwinski highlighted the Pilots' day by winning the high jump with a clearance of 6-10.
De La Salle's quartet of Colin Cote, Tyler Garrison, Allen Stritzinger and Louis Zingas took second in the 1,600 relay with a time of 3:18.09.
Zingas also led a quartet of area runners who placed in the 400 by taking fourth in the event with a time of 49.62 seconds.
The hurdle events were the strongest for area athletes, as four competitors from local schools placed in each race.
Brother Rice's Mike Carey won the 300 hurdles in 38.07 seconds, and Birmingham Groves' Ross Williams took second in the 110 hurdles in 14.21 seconds. Carey also took fifth in the 110 in 14.47 seconds.
Jordan Shive, from Rochester Adams placed in both hurdle events by taking eighth in the 110 (14.93 seconds) and sixth in the 300 (38.79).
Walled Lake Central shined in the throwing events, as Austin Shamoun took second in discus with a throw of 162-11. His teammate, Exhildi Prekaj, took eighth in discus, and he also took second in shot put with a heave of 56-2.5.
Royal Oak's Ben Hill highlighted the day for local distance runners with a second-place finish in the 3,200 with a time of 9:09.34.

Cottingham: Brandywine sets the gold standard in tomato flavor

Northerners just don't think about the South
I always shake my head in amazement at people like Dick Yarbrough (Column, "The top 10 reasons to love Georgia," July 30) who endlessly obsess about Northerners, Midwesterners, West Coasters, etc., and who feel compelled to remind anyone who will listen why the South is so great, and why the rest of the country isn't. Although odd, I suppose that's all fine and good.

Refuting the argument 'Bush lied' about Iraq
I must commend Sheryl McCarthy (Forum, "Fonda's bus tour misguided," Aug. 2) for giving it to Jane Fonda.

Oconee commission made good decision on rezoning
Good on the Oconee County Commission for voting unanimously against the rezoning request from Oconee Waste Transport (Story, "Oconee votes to dump waste site," Aug. 3).

Community should accept challenge made in editorial
Thanks for the reminder of ways we can help solve our local schools' performance deficiencies (Editorial, "Get involved in helping your public schools," Aug. 1).

ST. PETERSBURG — Donald Smith stepped off a Greyhound bus four years ago hoping for a fresh start. But he had no money and nowhere to go.
Smith, 21, slept on sidewalks, hung out at parks, learned which organizations offered meals.
Then one day, he saw a cream-colored building across from Mirror Lake. Tomlinson Adult Learning Center, the sign read.
Maybe this place could help him get a place to stay or a job.
Inside, he met a retired Navy reserves captain named Hugh Tulloch who would change his life. Tulloch, 71, had recently retired after traveling the world as a sales manager for Honeywell.
Restlessness lead him to volunteer with Tomlinson's literacy program, where he took Smith under his wing in 2007.
Neither man thought it would work.
Smith had never had been that close to white people. Tulloch wasn't sure how to reach the young black man who seemed to be a loner.
"I'm thinking, this guy doesn't know whether he wants to bother with me or not," said Tulloch. "If he runs off I'm not going to be astonished."
• • •
Growing up in Alabama, Donald Smith never got along with teachers.
He struggled to ask for help when he didn't understand something. He kept quiet in the back of classrooms. Soon he avoided interacting with teachers at all, and dropped out in the 10th grade.
Then, in 2006, Smith's sister was killed in a drive-by shooting. Smith spent hours holed up in a room. He tried drugs.
"I was at a point where I was like going crazy in my head," said Smith, now 24.
His father persuaded him to come to Florida.
Within weeks, Smith and Tulloch had settled into a groove at Tomlinson.
They read together a couple of times a week. Despite being homeless, Smith always showed up on time, clean, sober and ready to work.
"It didn't take long to find out that Donald is an intellectually curious guy," Tulloch said. "Not everyone who walks through the door is. It was obvious from Day 1 that there was a lot of potential."
Smith said volunteers and teachers at Tomlinson made him want to do better. They were patient, helped him understand things and gave him purpose.
Still, Smith says that even he had no plans to go beyond the GED.
Tulloch wanted more: "I told him fairly early that my goal was to make a taxpayer out of him."
• • •
It wasn't always easy.
When times were good, Smith stayed in a shelter or rented a room with money he made detailing cars. When times were bad, he fought depression and stopped coming by Tomlinson.
Finally, last summer, Smith decided he was ready for the GED test.
"We're sitting on pins and needles, and he nailed it," Tulloch said. "We kind of looked at each other and said, 'What now?' "
Tulloch, who has been married for 48 years but has no children, researched industries expected to grow over the next several years and settled on health care. He persuaded Smith to enroll in Pinellas Technical Education Centers' certified nursing assistant course in September.
But there was a problem: Smith was still homeless and had no money to pay for school.
Tulloch connected with financial aid specialists at PTEC, who told him about a program for low-income students.
Smith secured a long-term bed at the Beacon House so he would have a regular place to sleep and wash. Tulloch paid for Smith to get updated shots and white scrubs required for his class. He bought Smith a cell phone so prospective employers could get in touch with him.
Smith graduated from the program late last year. Tulloch took him out to dinner.
A few weeks later, Smith started work as an orderly at St. Anthony's Hospital, a job he got with the help of advocate for the homeless and former City Council member Jamie Bennett.
Recently, Smith moved from the Beacon House and found his own place. He's working three to four days a week at the hospital. He has a bank account.
"Being with Hugh was the best thing that happened to me here at Tomlinson and in St. Pete," said Smith. "I've grown tremendously since coming to Florida."
Tulloch and Smith still meet twice a week at Tomlinson.
They've moved on from reading simple chapter books and are working on their next goal: preparing Smith to attend St. Petersburg College this summer or fall. Smith plans to enroll in the nursing program with hopes of getting an even better job.
Before that, however, he has a more pressing matter: filing taxes for the first time in his life.

Remember, the police can see your object work.
Hello there, Savvy Travelers! It's me, Ben Whitaker, The Second City Network's Savvy Travel Guide. Wouldn't you know it? Summer is comin' round the bend! If you've been squirreling away your pennies like I advised you to back in my January article, "Don't BRRRRRReak the Bank," then you're sitting on a tidy little pile of ducats and ready to spend them on a warm-weather getaway! Maybe some of you are like your own Savvy Travel Guide and have amassed a particularly large vacation nest egg because all of a sudden…WHOOPS!…your romantic rendezvous for two just became a solo adventure. I guess you can say I'm on a "permanent vacation" from my relationship of four years, as well as from my own apartment!
Oh, Boise!
Sorry for the TMI, gang! Guess I was writing to you from the penthouse suite at the Heartbreak Hotel, but that's nothing a little globe-trotting and sunshine can't cure. Especially when the money you were going to use to buy an engagement ring is now BURNIN' A HOLE IN YOUR POCKET! YEOWCH! That's a scorcher!
Cozumel, Mexico
Speaking of scorcher… there's no señor or señorita on God's green earth that can have a bad time down south of the border. The weather is caliente, the resorts are all-inclusive, and the good times are mucho plentiful. You'll be partying 'til you siesta! And don't forget the food! Like the carnitas that Leighanne loved so much, or the burritos you brought home the night she told you she met someone else… OH THAT'S ME AGAIN WEEEOOOOWWWEEEOOOO SADSACK ALERT.
Grand Cayman
Beaches as far as the eye can see! Water so clear you'll think you're swimmin' in glass! Ideal for young people whose souls haven't been crushed by betrayal or families like the one I should have by now, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better locale to kick back and chillax. People still say chillax, right? It doesn't come off like I'm trying too hard? Like I'm trying to be someone I'm not? Like certain people whose name rhymes with "Leighanne" might throw at you when you're not totally not expecting it? Oh boy, somebody left the back gate open and my entire future got out!
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
CARNAVAL!!! Might be during the summer time. I have no idea, but what an escape it would be to one of the grand cities of South America. Did you know they speak Portuguese in Brazil? And so does the pilates instructor Leighanne walked out on me for? WHAT MAN DOES PILATES…?
Rome, Italy
Ancient history so rich you'll forget the recent history of your girlfriend recounting your sexual shortcomings loudly in front of the neighbors. NEXT SPOT…
Paris, France
Ibiza, Spain
Portland, Oregon or Maine
Great and everything and DEAR GOD LEIGHANNE TAKE ME BACK.
Chicago, Illinois

Importantly, this was very profitable growth, with operating income before charges/gains increasing 54 percent for the home product segments. New housing construction continued at a strong pace, and spending on home repairs and remodeling continued to strengthen," Klein said. For each segment in the second quarter 2013, compared to the prior-year quarter:

NOTE: There is a second Upton in Buckinghamshire in the parish of Dinton-with-Ford and Upton, near Aylesbury.
Upton is a suburb of Slough in Berkshire, England. Until the local government reforms of 1974 it was in Buckinghamshire. It was one of the villages that developed into the town.
The Domesday Survey of 1086 refers to Upton, and a wood for 200 pigs, worth £15. Upton took its name from its situation at the top of the slope from the river terrace — the various levels in the area having been formed in the Ice-Age.
The ancient parish, and the civil parish until 1894, included Chalvey and Slough, originally hamlets, and was formally known as Upton cum Chalvey. In 1894 the new civil parish of Slough was formed from the parish. In 1895 a detached part of the parish was transferred to Gerrards Cross, and in 1900 and 1901 the rump of the parish was divided between the neighbouring parishes of Eton, Langley Marish, Slough and Wexham. The ecclesiastical parish is still known as Upton cum Chalvey.
St. Laurence Church
Upton's Norman Church, St Laurence's Church, is around 900 years old. It was the marriage place (7 May 1788) and burial place (1822) of Sir William Herschel (in whose memory there stands a newly erected stained-glass window depicting Uranus, which he discovered, and other planets), and the burial place of Charles Hatchett who discovered niobium.
Research Tips
Registration Offices
Birth, marriage and death certificates can now be ordered online from Buckinghamshire County Council. The full postal address is Buckinghamshire Register Office, County Hall, Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1YU.
The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies (County Hall, Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1UU) holds
In Buckinghamshire, as with other counties in England and Wales, the location of offices where Births, Marriages and Deaths were registered has altered with other changes in local government. A list of the location of Registration Offices since civil registration began in 1837 has been prepared by GENUKI (Genealogy: United Kingdom and Ireland). The table also gives details of when each Registration Office was in existence. In the case of Buckinghamshire, the same registration offices were used for the censuses since 1851.
Nineteenth Century Local Administration
English Jurisdictions is a webpage provided by FamilySearch which analyses every ecclesiastical parish in England at the year 1851. It provides, with the aid of outline maps, the date at which parish records and bishops transcripts begin, non-conformist denominations with a chapel within the parish, the names of the jurisdictions in charge: county, civil registration district, probate court, diocese, rural deanery, poor law union, hundred, church province; and links to FamilySearch historical records, FamilySearch Catalog and the FamilySearch Wiki. Two limitations: only England, and at the year 1851.
During the 19th century two bodies, the Poor Law Union and the Sanitary District, had responsibility for governmental functions at a level immediately above that covered by the civil parish. In 1894 these were replace by Rural and Urban Districts. These were elected bodies, responsible for setting local property assessments and taxes as well as for carrying out their specified duties. Thses districts continued in operation until 1974. Urban districts for larger municipalities were called "Municipal Boroughs" and had additional powers and obligations.
Poor Law Unions, established nationally in 1834, combined parishes together for the purpose of providing relief for the needy who had no family support. This led to the building of '"union poorhouses" or "workhouses" funded by all the parishes in the union. The geographical boundaries established for the individual Poor Law Unions were employed again when Registration Districts were formed three years later. In 1875 Sanitary Districts were formed to provide services such as clean water supply, sewage systems, street cleaning, and the clearance of slum housing. These also tended to follow the same geographical boundaries, although there were local alterations caused by changes in population distribution.

A Beautiful Game: The World's Greatest Players and How Soccer Changed Their Lives
Wherever you are on earth, it's only a matter of time before you come across children playing soccer. Another five minutes and you will probably find yourself having a ball rolled to your feet as an invitation to join in the game. Soccer is a common language and a culture shared: a joy, a passion, an escape, and an affirmation of identity understood and celebrated by children—and their parents—in every country around the globe. For this unique collaborative project, soccer writer Tom Watt talked to the world's top players about growing up and falling in love with the game: Argentina's Lionel Messi and Brazil's Gilberto Silva; England's David James and Scotland's Craig Gordon; Italy's Fabio Cannavaro, Spain's Iker Casillas, and France

text: New at this so any info and help will surely be appreciated. I have a 1990 Kohler magnum twin engine on a Snapper lawn tractor. First of this mowing season it starts sputtering and dies after about 30 min or so of use. Slightly bumpy slightly hilly yard. Had carb rebuilt, put new fuel lines on completely, cleaned tank, put on clear type fuel filter. When cold has plenty of fuel in filter, then when starts sputtering filter is nearly dry. Pull choke to keep it running to get back to garage. Originally thought it was vapor locking so drilled a small hole in middle of gas cap and can easily blow air both ways through cap. Pull line from fuel pump and gas flows freely from tank through filter, so to me this means no clogged lines or filter. Starts fine after a few hours or the next morning, then back to same sputtering cycle. Only other thing I can think of is, will a fuel pump stop pumping after it gets warm? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I already have no hair so nothing to pull out or do in frustration, lol. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Beans: CoE Matalapa, La Libertad, El Salvador
Roaster: Ritual Coffee Roasters
Rating: 3
There were three reasons why I had high hopes for this coffee.
- First, this coffee placed 10th in the 2008 El Salvador Cup of Excellence competition with a score of 88. Nothing mind-bogglingly amazing, but no slouch of a coffee either.
- Second, this coffee hails from the same folks that produced the 2008 USBC Championship Espresso. Intelligentsia even bought up some of this particular batch. It looks like Ritual is trying to ride Intelligenstia's coattails. Fine, so long as they ride them well.
- Third, the green beans for this coffee were vacuum packed in El Salvador rather than shipped (and stored) in burlap/jute sacks. Vacuum packing green beans (and freezing them) has been a topic of discussion for a while now. The burlap can impart bad flavors and unecessarily expose the green coffee to moisture, odors and oxygen. Subsequently, vacuum sealing (especially at origin) has recently exploded in popularity amongst commercial roasters (1,2,3,4).
It took me a while to find the right way to brew this one. I had it on the Clover at Ritual. It was good, but I didn't think it was worth $5/cup. I was convinced that the syphon was the way to go, but the coffee had an oddly sweet and cloying quality that never quite seemed right. I had decent luck with it as an espresso. It was a little off balance – not quite sweet enough – but its better qualities really came through. In the end, what worked best was a simple French Press. I didn't even need to tweak my usual brewing profile. Just 4 minutes steep time with my usual French Press grind.
What I finally got around to tasting was a very clean, medium bodied coffee, very much in the pine/herb/dry/lime vein of flavors and aromas. It was certainly very bold with the sharp lime slicing through and making me salivate on the sides of my tongue. It was also complex. I got some other odd notes like crisp fall leaves, mint and some generally vegetal aromas.
While I found this coffee complex and intriguing, I'm not sure that I found it all that enjoyable: after all, this is food. I also question its value. I'm not against paying high prices for good coffee. I just don't think this coffee lives up to its $29/pound price tag. For a little less, it might have a place in my cupboard, but it's currently priced a bit higher than my hopes.

Image analysis is an interesting research area with a large variety of challenging applications. Researchers have worked from decades on this topic, as witnessed by the scientific literature. However, document image analysis is the special case in image analysis as their spatial properties are different from natural images. Therefore, the main focus of this paper is to describe image denoising issues in general and document image issues in particular. Since the field of document processing is relatively new, it is also dynamic, so current methods have room for improvement and innovations are still being made. Several algorithms proposed in the literature are described. Critical discussions are reported about the current status of the field and open problems are highlighted. It is also demonstrated that, there are rarely definitive techniques for all cases of a certain problem. We surveyed the state of art, analyzed recent trends and tried to identify challenges for future research in this field.

"This is where people should go to retire", said my significant other. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Kos, but I'll try my best to explain what he meant.
Kos is a small island belonging to Greece in the Aegean Seam, but it doesn't bask in the same level of notoriety that other Greek islands like Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, and Santorini enjoy. Geographically closer to Turkey than the Greek mainland, the climate here is pretty hot and dry, and you won't find as many ancient ruins here compared to the more famous islands in the Aegean. However, I don't think that takes anything away from Kos if you're in search of a laid-back beach holiday as opposed to an archeological hunt.
I arrived at Kos late on a Saturday night and took a bus into town. Once it had journeyed from the airport in the center of the island to the northern coastline, I began to see dozens of tourists making their way between towns on foot in the middle the night without a care in the world. "This seems like a really safe place", I said to my other half.
For our 5-night stay, I chose an apartment-hotel about a mile outside of Kos Town in a suburb called Lambi. Our 75-Euro/night room was large, clean, air-conditioned, and came with a fully-stocked kitchenette. We were about a 5-minute walk from the ocean and a 15-minute walk into town, so for our first day we decided to take in the major sights of Kos Town.
Kos is a very friendly island for pedestrians and cyclists, which is no doubt an adaptation made in response to the large number of Dutch tourists that come here each year. Kos Town itself is a bit kitschy, but has a lovely port and a well preserved crusades-era castle, along with both Greek and Roman ruins. There is also a bus from the center of town that will take you up to the Kos Asklepieion, which was where Hippocrates (the father of modern medicine) received his medical training.
As far as dining was concerned, we struggled to rack up a bill exceeding 25 Euros, even after ordering alcohol. The affordable prices allowed us to try all the Greek staples – gyros, souvlaki, moussaka, and even Greek wine. Add to this the fact that there were plenty of duty-free shops offering everything from traditional desserts and imported beer, and I found myself shoveling food into my mouth for almost the entire duration of my holiday.
While an argument could be made that Kos doesn't have much going on, it's worth noting that it's pretty easy to get on a boat and tour other islands from Kos Town. There are frequent ferries to Bodrum, Turkey; Rhodes, Greece; as well as several other smaller islands. A "3-island Boat Tour" is a must for all Kos visitors, and was at the top of my to-do list. For 30 Euros, you can get a day's worth of island hopping, swimming in the Aegean Sea, and lunch. Most boats stop at Kalymnos, Pserimos, and Plati. These are all tiny islands that rely heavily on tourism, so the locals are naturally extremely friendly and appreciative.
Back on Kos, we had a few days to really enjoy the island. All the major towns here are connected by fairly reliable and extremely affordable bus routes. From Kos Town, we took the bus to the resort town of Tigaki, which is known for its shallow beach. Most of Kos' most famous beaches are in the resort areas of Kefalos and Kardamena, both of which were on the opposite side of the island from Kos. At just 20 minutes from our hotel, Tigaki was a great compromise. Tigaki beach is extremely long and broad enough to cram in thousands of sunbathers. Luckily, there were only a few hundred people lounging about when we visited in the peak of summer. The water off the coast was clear and shallow, which is perfect for those of use who aren't strong swimmers.
Kos may lack the "wow factor" of its more famous island cousins, but its also more laid-back and affordable. The locals are friendly and it's perfectly safe to walk around town in the middle of the night. The beaches are nice, and getting around the island is as easy as hopping on a bus or renting a bicycle. So while I suppose it does fit the criteria of an ideal retirement community, it's a pretty nice place for anyone to vacation as well.

Cal Broughton
Cecil Calvert Broughton
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Debut May 2, 1883
- Final Game April 21, 1888
- Born December 28, 1860 in Magnolia, WI USA
- Died March 15, 1939 in Evansville, WI USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Cal Broughton played for six teams in three leagues during his four years in the majors. In total, he appeared in 40 games, primarily at catcher.
He played for no more than 11 games with any one team, having the most success in 1884 with the Milwaukee Brewers in the Union Association when he hit .308.
"A history of baseball in Evansville" [1] has extensive text on Broughton, Evansville, WI's first professional ballplayer, and in fact one of the first players in the majors to hail from Wisconsin. It also has a photo of him. He was on the (apparently amateur) Evansville team as early as 1879, and later joined the Janesville Mutuals. He also played in the minors during the 1880s (Memphis and probably Savannah), and in 1889 an 1890 was with St. Paul. After his minor league days, he worked for a butter company in Evansville and continued to play for the local team. He served as Evansville's police chief from 1900-1916 and then continued as assistant police chief until six years before his death.
