TRIWAY DISTRICT -- A private donor has offered Triway Schools the opportunity for a new, synthetic, all-purpose football field.
Board president Don Noble II said it would be similar to that of Orrville City Schools.
"A private, local donor has come forward and has pledged $275,000 toward (it)," said Noble, anticipating a total project cost of $600,000.
Triway's Athletic Booster Club has already pledged $50,000, Noble said, and plans to raise another $125,000.
"The Triway board has approved up to $150,000 from the permanent improvement fund toward the project," Noble said, noting, the proposed new field would save the district about $10,000 a year on maintenance, painting repairs and other related items.
The field is estimated to cost about $535,000, but a contingency fund will be included.
"We'd like to get it done this summer in time for fall sports," Noble said, explaining all sports would be "greatly enhanced" by the proposed new field, as would the band program and the yearly Bandarama, once relocated from Triway because of a wet field.
It would also augment practice times "not only for the high school, but also the junior high (and youth football)," Noble said. "It lends itself (to more types of activities)."
Noble, clarified, however, "It's not a done deal," due to money still needing to be raised.
The way to look at the possibility, said Kirk Miller, member and past president of the booster club, is that "Triway has a really good chance of getting a turf field."
"The opportunity is there," Miller said, adding, typical fundraisers will not be sufficient to complete a project of this magnitude.
Other groups will need to "step up" to help make it happen.
"I hope people get behind it," Miller said, like Noble, citing a turf field's advantages, one of which Miller said was mentioned by a Triway neighbor related to not expending water on the field and over-using the aquifer.
It also means the field would never be hard as a rock or muddy.
"(It is) a chance for something nice," Miller said.
"We're very excited and very grateful (for the opportunity)," Noble said. "It's a wonderful gift."
In other board news, Superintendent Dave Rice said summer capital improvement projects are "still in the planning stages."
"We hope to finalize the (Triway High School) science rooms design by the end of (January)," Rice said.
At the December meeting of the board, "we approved the 2013-14 schedule ... just a traditional calendar," Rice said, with Aug. 19 as the first day for students and May 29 the last day." Graduation is scheduled for May 25.
The board also approved the eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., March 14-16, 2013, and renewed its membership in the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce.
Rice said he distributed notebooks containing special education policies and procedures -- "just updated stuff" -- to the board.

Transmissions Then and Now
When cars were invented they were new and mechanically simple, but complex for their time. From the beginning, transmissions have always been the most complex components of a car. This video really makes a point about just how complicated transmissions are – and with all the new technology these days, there are more than 800 parts.
As transmission technology evolves, another layer of know-how and complexity is added. In 1915, if you were wealthy enough to own a car, you would either repair your transmission yourself or have a chauffeur do it, because a chauffeur was much more than just a driver in those days. He doubled as a mechanic and knew how to maintain and repair the cars he drove. Automobile mechanics by trade were mostly unheard of then, and sometimes even bicycle mechanics worked on cars.
Transmissions were all manual, and their complexity was determined by the number of gears to be managed. But even then, when cars were supposedly simple, the transmission was the most complicated part of a car. Its purpose and importance then was the same as it is now – transfer the power of the engine to the wheels.
The first line of cars to feature automatic transmissions came to market in 1938, with the Oldsmobile Hydra-Matic drives. As automatic transmissions became more popular, the need grew for specialized mechanics who could repair these complicated systems.
As automatic transmissions have evolved, they have become more efficient, but are more difficult to troubleshoot and repair. Mechanics were starting to open more shops, but the need for specialists – particularly for transmissions – was recognized by Anthony A. Martino. With cofounder Robert Morgan, he started AAMCO transmission in 1957.
Future Transmission Technology
Today we see an incredible combination of cars and technology on the roads, all of which require certain levels of expertise to maintain and repair. From a Ford Model T or a Tesla Model S, we are witnessing the evolution of not only cars, but of the transmission itself.
The functions and general "health" of systems, including transmissions, in today's cars are monitored and/or controlled by computers. One must first know how to read computer output and understand the data being provided to translate it into useful information and diagnose the problem. Then repairs can begin with the assurance that the issue will be fixed right the first time. But not just any mechanic can repair a transmission. You need a mechanic who is certified in transmissions and has repaired numerous makes and models who can honestly tell you what needs to be done and how much it is going to take.
Transmission Innovation
From continuously variable transmissions, to double clutch, to 8 or 9-gear "slushboxes" that seemingly juggle gears and make for the best performance and fuel efficiency, the days of manual transmissions and even the traditional 5-speed automatics, are numbered. The future of the transmission definitely entails great advancements in the technology that enables automation of gears, torque, and power transfer. The effort has been to eliminate, or limit, the reliance on friction to achieve torque (coupling the engine to the gearbox).
Continuously Variable Transmission
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) has been growing in popularity, as it is efficient in both fuel consumption and power delivery. Much like a bicycle, gears are arranged in a cone and a chain jumps between them. Ideally, a CVT lets the engine can run constantly at its most optimum RPM because it offers an infinitely variable set of gears. CVTs are also small and light, which makes them a good fit for smaller, compact cars.
Dual Clutch and Semi-Automatic Transmissions
Dual clutch and semi-automatic transmissions have gained in technology and popularity. The semi-automatic transmission can be likened to an electronically controlled manual transmission. Like manual transmissions, they are light and efficient. In some cases, the driver even has the option to maintain full control over the shifting, or put the transmission in full automatic mode.
The dual clutch transmission uses two separate clutches arranged in a concentric setup. One clutch handles even gears, the other handles odd. The advantage to a dual clutch is that the transmission can have the next necessary gear engaged (usually dictated by computer) even as the previous gear is released – resulting in instant shifts. This makes for an incredibly smooth driving experience. They are costly to manufacture and maintain, so they are not mainstream – but many argue they do offer today's best combination of efficiency and performance.
Transmission Evolution
With all the transmission technology we see today, we have a glimpse at the future, and it's pretty exciting. Whatever the systems and parts that make cars work, AAMCO will be there to maintain and repair them. AAMCO will continue to evolve its service offerings to meet the needs of customers and whatever they are driving.

The film which remained in dark rooms of the film labs is likely to see the light on March 19 with the intervention of another popular producer Nattikumar.Kamalini Mukharjee and Sanjana are playing heroines in the film. Director says, "It is a complete action entertainer and it would be completely different from all the police films that have ever been shown on Telugu screen. We debated the good and bad in the police administration of present days. How two police officers working in the same department reached their goals in different ways is the basic subject of the movie. Each and every character in the film would be very near to reality.Producer Chandu says, "The story and its movement would be very attractive. At the same time, the film also had many commercial elements.Brahmaji, Dandapani, Vikram, Prasadbabu and others are in the cast. Music is by Sai Karthik and Viswa, camera is by Bharani K Dharan, while Mohan Patil is the presenter of the movie.

Death's Dominion(2006)
A novel by Simon Clark
In the latest blood-soaked genre-tweeker from British novelist Clark (Darker), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein gets replayed inside-out, in a modern world where the dead are routinely brought back to life--larger, stronger and healthier, but intrinsically bound by two laws taken from Asimov: none of their kind--referred to as "monster"--may harm a human, or let a human come to harm due to their inaction. As the story begins, humans have called open season on monsters for reasons unknown. Escaping from a government raid, a small band of monsters stumble on a recently reborn man named Dominion, a confused hulk with human blood on his hands. The refugees quickly fall in line behind Dominion, appalled at the violence he's able and willing to commit against humans but powerless without him; indeed, apart from the bloodthirsty humans, the villains are those monsters ready to surrender to their "betters." Soon, the party of monsters have invaded a run-down village and taken over their cliffside castle, in thrall to a sketchy plan locked in Dominion's uncooperative brain. There's a political backstory that doesn't quite adhere, making quasiallegorical parallels to the Holocaust and the Israel-Palestine conflict less resonant. That aside, all the monster-burning, skull-crushing, village-razing, castle-raiding fun--along with a splash of sex and several buckets of gore--make for a satisfying son of Frankenstein. (Nov.)

After sitting out the past two games as a healthy scratch, Marcus Johansson will be back on the fourth line tonight against Toronto. It's an opportunity for the third-year center to show improvement after a rough start to the season and prove he deserves a regular spot in the lineup.
"I want to play. That's why I'm here. I want to play and it's not fun to sit out, but it's his decision and I respect his decision," Johansson said. "It's his decision. He's the coach; you've got to deal with it, learn and move on."
Johansson started the season as the top-line left wing with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, but after two turnover-riddled and ineffective showings, he dropped down to fourth-line center for the next two contests, only to then be sent to watch from the press box.
Coach Adam Oates wanted to give Johansson time to take a step back, watch the system work unfold from afar and re-evaluate his game.
"I think sometimes as a young guy you need that, to sit upstairs and see," Oates said. "He actually got to watch good games; our team played good hockey…..So hopefully he's just going to come in and play hard and fit in."
When Johansson is at his best, his speed and skating ability are on display as he beats opponents to pucks and creates space for himself and his linemates. Matt Hendricks, who will play on Johansson's left wing, knows what he can do to help get the most out of his young teammates.
"I'm going to try to play that North-South hockey, chip pucks behind defensemen, try to get Marcus in as many foot races as I can," Hendricks said. "I think that's kind of my job to help Marcus benefit is to get him to skate and get the defensemen turning, because that's when he can make them very vulnerable."

Blink and You'll Miss This Lightning Quick KO
Unsportsmanlike but killer.
So much for sportsmanship. During an MMA in China on Saturday, mixed martial artist Ibragim Khalilov delivered a knock-out blow while his opponent was trying to start the match with a customary glove touch.
At WBK 22, Bakhityar Barotov extended his gloves to Khaliov in a showing of fighting etiquette. But soon he would learn that such quaint moves are for yesteryear. Khaliov was there to do one thing: kick ass.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Instead of returning the gesture, Khaliov landed a devastating blow to Barotov's jaw, knocking him out cold. A cruel reminder that this is a savage sport.
Down goes sportsmanship.

Vegan Fried Rice With Bok Choy
READY IN: 25mins
The lime peel gives this dish a wonderful aroma! Use gluten-free soy sauce and this recipe is appropriate for the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse.
Top Review by anomy
This recipe was very good, but strangely unfilling even though I added an egg while stir-frying the rice; also added some tofu while cooking the veggies.Maybe we were just extra hungry after light/no lunch. The presentation is very nice, and effective at keeping the food warm for seconds.

Study: Offline schemes are top causes of identity fraud
Leigh Goessl
Nov 29, 2012 in
A new study conducted by an insurance company says, despite the increased use of the Internet being used to conduct business, that offline schemes are the top known causes of identity fraud.
All too often we hear about the numerous ways people experience both identity and financial fraud online. A new study from Travelers insurance states that offline methods of fraud are the most common causes of identity fraud, notes a recent
press release
The company studied 2011 data; here is a breakdown given by Travelers:
• According to Travelers, stolen and misplaced items, such as wallets, purses and computers, accounted for the most known cases of identity fraud in 2011.
• Stolen or compromised personal identification accounted for the second highest number of identity frauds in last year's data. This data included driver's licenses, Social Security cards and other forms of personal identification.
The above two categories comprised a whopping 73 percent of claims.
• Burglaries. Theft ranked in at number three for the reasons people were faced with stolen identity related problems.
• Travelers said that cyber breaches (15 percent) and online scams were next and forgeries (10 percent) was next on the list. "Dumpster diving" and fraudsters going through mail were also cited as causes of identity theft. Change of address scams/postal frauds were cited at two 2 percent.
"When everyday essentials, like wallets or drivers licenses, are stolen or go missing, identity fraud often follows," said Joe Reynolds, Identity Fraud Product Manager at Travelers in the
press release
. "Credit cards, drivers licenses and other sources of personal information enable criminals to commit a fraud or crime, all in your name."
Reynolds noted people often do not immediately know they are the victim of identity fraud. He recommends people carefully review their monthly bank statements in order to detect any odd behavior quickly and report it to the bank.
A recent release of findings reported by ID Analytics (via
Security Week
) said that over 10,000 identity fraud rings are active in the United States; many of these are run by thieves that operate in groups of family and friends, as opposed to organized crime.
The study indicated that many
identity theft rings
operated out of the southeastern portion of the U.S., although Washington, D.C. region was also given a mention. Additionally, it was found an increased number of identity thefts occur in rural regions.
Earlier this year, Digital Journal
reported an increased number
of incidences of ATM and pay-at-the-pump scams in rural areas.

Next up was Chris Zimmerman, talking about "Invasive plant species inventory and assessment of the Beaverkill Forest Matrix Block in the Catskill Mountains in southeast New York." This was an extensive mapping project looking at the distribution of a dozen different invasive plants. An analysis of road classes in the surveyed region found that they were a good predictor of whether invasive plants would be present or not, with transects by trails having relatively few invaders and true roads having more. Another interesting finding was that land with a home density of even just one house per km had more invasive species richness than land with no houses at all.
I noticed that the "Acknowledgements" slide at the end of the talk listed an Anonymous Donor...note to self: acquire anonymous donor!

Chapter 1: Legacy
Berg's life starts with a terrible tragedy. As he grows he makes new family, new friends, and new hobbies. While a Fire Nation Shaman is set on a path that is surely to gain the attention of the world.
- Norbu
The windows of these halls have the most beautiful view of Tu Zin, I always enjoy admiring it. I don't have time right now though, I'm running, now sprinting as fast as I can calling out for Uncle Rohan... I mean Master Rohan. He wants me to be as proper as I can, regardless that my mother is Ikki, his older sister. Mother has encouraged each of us to spend a year with Master Rohan down at the Southern Air Monastery to be trained in the classical ways of pacifism and peace widely practiced by the Air Nomad's from when Great Grandpa Aang.... I mean Avatar Aang was still a child. I am the last one to come down hear all of my other siblings have grown and begun adventures of their own, me being the youngest I have some time to go. I am most certainly enjoying my time here at the monastery, it was built on a cliff side overlooking Tu Zin, also known as the jewel of the Southeast Coast. Tu Zin first begin to grow rapidly when it started exporting goods to rebuild Republic City after Kuvira's attack. Now, some could argue that it rivals Republic City in its metropolis status, but the population is far less and has a ways to go if you ask me. Republic City doesn't even compare to the magnificent architecture of the domed skyscrapers in Tu Zin though. The monastery was mostly built out of necessity, as the new Air Nation was acting as the grand peacekeepers here before an official police force was established. The entire structure is on the Cliffside slightly similar to that of the Western Air Temple, but a much more modern design.
Back to me running through the halls calling my Uncles name, I have a message for him from Master Jinora concerning the Avatar. I finally find him but struggle to get out the words "Master, Jinora just called the monastery, she has said the Avatar is in trouble on the South Merchant Highway!"
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"
"I can't say for sure, only it was of the most urgent concern." The reason this is so serious is because the Avatar is just boy, just turned 5, if I remember correctly. He was born to a merchant family that travels the highway from Tu Zin to Omashu making many stops to trade along the way in places like Goaling, Zaofu, and the Misty Palms Oasis. Every year since his birth his family has traveled the route, I am pretty sure he was, in fact, born on the highway. Master Jinora knew instantly who and where he was from her connection with Raava, but she and other senior members of the White Lotus opted to not alert his family, that they would watch over him in secret until he was old enough to begin training.
"Norbu, gather a group of the White Lotus sentries and meet me at the sky bison stables as quickly as possible!"
I turn away and jump through one of the open windows, so quickly I neglect to respond, but I am sure Master Rohan will forgive me considering the circumstances. I'm gliding up towards the White Lotus Camp atop the hillside to gather them just as Rohan had instructed. Master Sahana, already a Grand Lotus despite her young age, is the first person I see. I explain the situation and request volunteers, but Master Sahana turns around selects a few and we are all on our way to the stables. Everyone respects and adores Sahana, and it's no mystery as to why either, beauty beyond words, wise beyond her years, as fierce an earth bender as any of the Beifongs, yet the gentle caring soul of the most compassionate air benders. She was already selected to finish the Avatars earth bending training and begin his spiritual training. What a wonderful woman indeed.
The ride to the South Merchant Highway is longer than it has ever been, I overhear Master Rohan explain to Sahana what he thinks is going on. Some of the desert states have been at war with each other for the past month or so and most of the trade convoys have been canceled, but the Avatar's family isn't too well off and could not afford to not go decided to take the risk for the money, regardless of the raiders patrolling and sabotaging everyone on the highway. His father is an earth bender, not nearly proficient enough to properly fend off the raiders, which he believes is why Jinora sent out the emergency call to us.
We don't have an exact location so we weave across the highways route hoping to spot something to alert us of his location. Then, almost all at once, everyone on the two bison notice the armored vans and mecha suits fleeing from the destroyed convoy where we see a young boy, hovering mid-air bending all four elements eyes glowing. Master Sahana is the first of us to speak breaking the fearful silence "I fear we are too late Rohan." Before anyone can respond she leaps off the bison lifting rocks from the ground to soften her fall leaping from rock to rock to reach the Avatar. Rohan glided down and I knew that I should follow suit. As we get closer to the ground what Sahana said was confirmed when I see the Avatar's family, and likely a few of their fellow travels, slaughtered. I am mostly rendered speechless by what I am looking at. I see Sahana is focused only on the Avatar and calming him down, I had heard of the Avatar State and the power it held, but to see so much power coming from such a small boy was frightening to me. I hear Sahana call his name a few times "Berg! Berg! Please we are here to help to you just please calm down." Even in the face of all the power I could see that look of genuine concern on Sahana's face. I think to myself that is actually the first time I had ever heard what the Avatar's name was. The glow in Berg's eyes slowly faded and he fell to the ground caught by Sahana before actually hitting the ground. The White Lotus began to pursue the raiders, when Master Rohan called them off.
"This attack was random, they didn't know who the family was. Chasing them would only be a waste of resources. Everyone back on the bison's, we're going back to the monastery."
Back at the in the private study of the monastery, I am tending to young Berg as he sleeps in bed, while Master Rohan and Sahana speak to each other. I suppose the see me old enough to hear the conversation since I haven't been asked to leave yet, or their minds are too occupied to notice that I am still here.
"I am so saddened by this tragedy, Sahana."
"As am I friend, but we saved the Avatar and he is safe now. No need to worry any further." "How am I to do anything but worry? What should we do with the boy? I am certainly not fit to care for. We are unaware of any extended family the boy may have to send him to. He is certain to have questions as to what happened to his family and why he is with us. I am unsure where to begin to answer any of those questions, and I am overcome with sadness."
"Worry no more, Rohan, I will care for the boy. Train him and answer all his questions. You cannot deny that there is any other more suited for the job."
"Right you are. We will make the arrangements immediately. Thank you, Sahana."
Just when I thought I couldn't respect master Sahana any more, she does the most selfless thing I had ever seen, but I hadn't seen Master Rohan so sad since Grandpa Tenzin had passed, I hope to never see him this sad again
- Berg
Today is an odd day for me. Ten years to the day I lost my family, I was so young then and the memory of that day is so fuzzy and gets fuzzier every year that passes. I don't know whether to feel sad for a family I barley remember, or angry at people I never really met. I have the same conversation with Sahana every year, she says "Respect their memory, honor them by staying on the right path, and be happy and thankful for what you have today." Always has said the right thing to me and never once has she ever lied to me about the events of that day, so every year when we have this conversation I say that I am thankful for her. Which couldn't be truer, I have been to so many great places that are not the Si Wong Desert. She introduced me to motor sports, even bought me my first motor cycle a few months back which gets nearly all my attention outside of my Avatar training. I have already mastered earth bending, well on my way through fire bending too. Although I should be thankful towards Master Enzo for that as he has been the on the train me, but Sahana hand picked him for that duty. She says it's because the formed Sun Warriors practice the truest form of fire bending, the kind that's best for the Avatar to master. If you ask me though I'd say it is because his daughter Kimiko is my age, and I needed a friend, which was perfect because I did and it is exactly what I got. Kimiko does make me look like a novice when it comes to fire bending though, a true prodigy in her own right. She could have passed the trails to be granted the title of master months ago but she insists on taking them with me. Not that I am struggling with learning, just that she has had this one element her whole life I only started training a little over a year ago.
Today is also an off day for training, a special request I made a few weeks back when I found out the Fire Nation Grand Prix would be holding a race at the local track and Kimiko and I are going together. I wanted to apply for one of the amateur races, but Master Enzo talked me out of it saying I should focus on one thing at a time that one thing being fire bending right now. You see Enzo was a very strict and serious man, it took a large amount of convincing on Sahana's part to even get him to agree to allow Kimiko to attend the event since when the two of us asked we received immediate no's. Whatever Sahana ended up saying to him I need to figure out so I can use that line on him one day too.
I walk out of the quartering building and see Kimiko in the courtyard waiting for me. I rush over to her and as I get within talking distance I see her father right behind her, how perfect. Enzo was a tall man, with a thin black goatee. Usually wearing some sort of formal Sun Warrior robes with a yellow chest tunic giving him the perfect blend of ancient and modern as he would put it, just seemed conflicting to me?
"Good Morning, Master Enzo, beautiful day isn't it?" Enzo wasn't much for small talk so he cuts straight to the point after a quiet grunt.
"Young Avatar, I do not approve of the days scheduled activities, with that said do not make me regret my decision to allow such a thing. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Master Enzo." I know Enzo is a great teacher but I am praying to the powers that be my air bending master is nowhere near as uptight, because I'll need a break from this.
We gather our things and make our way down to the garage where my bike is parked, Sahana is there to say good bye and to remind us to have fun. With everything loaded up we're off to the track. It isn't that far of a drive but we don't get there as fast as I would like because Kimiko is on her tiger phoenix, Tala. Tala can fly but still not as fast as my bike. After all my bike is a SatoLotus 2500 right off the Future Industries production line, so it is one of the finest brands in the world, but still not their best model. The best model is the Asami 6000sp, actually runs on spirit energy designed by the one and only Asami Sato. We pull through the gates and the crowd is larger than expected and is growing in popularity. Pro bending still reigns supreme when it comes to spectator sports.
"Doesn't this make you want a bike, Kimiko?"
"....No, I have Tala. She is the best, you should have your own animal companion, and most great Avatars do."
"Yeah yeah yeah, I got all the animal I need right here in this engine, gets me where I need to go, doesn't need as much attention, and best of all she is faster than Tala." I begin to laugh, then I'm cut off by an awfully upset looking tiger phoenix. "Oh I didn't mean it Tala you are plenty fast." "I bet your bike could never make me apologize!"
"Touché, Kimiko, touché. Come on, I want to go back to the garage area get a closer look at the bikes." "Isn't that area only for racers and mechanics?
"Yes, but I can't let that stop me."
We find a nice spot to park my bike and leave Tala, then we trick a guard to leave his post and walk right on in the garage. I'm like a kid in a candy shop right now, nearly drooling over all the magnificent bikes from Future Industries, Cabbage Corps, Varrick Enterprises, and Beifong Engineering. I find a racer and quickly school him with facts about his own bike, but I see Kimiko and know I might as well be speaking a foreign language to her. The racer didn't seem too happy with me embarrassing him and he ends up calling security on us. They start to chase us and the only thing I can think is Enzo is going to kill me for this. We turn the corner thinking we got away and we are in the clear when two more very large guards step in front of us. Absolutely sure we're done for, I give up and let them take us out. Then just in the knick of time a racer comes up to all of us "Guards, guards! What are you doing these are my mechanic's?"
"We are" I say back, but Kimiko may be slightly smarter than me elbows me quite hard in the side before I get what is happening here, "Oh, yes we are!"
"Yes they are now unhand them I'm Kaito Onot rookie racer extraordinaire! And I need my mechanics!" "Yes, sir, Mr. Onot, sir. Sorry about the mix up."
I had been following the grand Prix for about two years now and had never heard the name Kaito Onot before. He did say he was a rookie, so that's probably why. But he also said extraordinaire and that doesn't make since?
"Thanks, pal...er Kaito? So you say you are a racer huh?"
"Yes, a racer one of the finest around!"
"Oh well that's strange, I have never heard of you, and I have watched ever race and qualifying race this year and never seen you compete once?"
"Some extraordinaire you are." Kimiko follows up with.
"FINE! Look I'm a rookie and haven't exactly raced yet but I am really good, just one small problem, I can't afford to pay a mechanic to do my pit stops during to race so I really stand no chance of winning without one."
"So its safe to assume that you saved us from the guards so I could be your mechanic?"
"Yes, that is actually that exact reason, but you sounded like you knew what you were talking about when you embarrassed that other racer, and could really use your help so please please please just do this for? Plus you a great view of the race from the pits area?"
"Believe me, Berg here didn't need that much convincing. I'm Kimiko by the way."
- Urzo
The Bhanti Tribe is intensely spiritual, with deep connections to the spirits. Almost all the tribe members are fire benders, pretty powerful fire benders actually. Except for me, the eldest son of the chief. I know what everyone is thinking, Urzo the non-bending son of the great Chief Loz! How can a non-bender ever lead these people? Certainly not me! I sit here alone in this temple tomb, surrounded by darkness except for the small torch by my side, to give me light to read this ancient scroll. You see a few months back I was in reading up on some history on Harmonic Convergence, which led to people all over the world getting air bending. Just waking up one morning not a bender then the next they were. How empowering it must have felt! I asked a few of the sage's in the tribe how such a thing could have happened just from a shift in energy. He responded with mostly nonsense about energy shift, most of which I knew already, then he said something extremely interesting to me. He explained that a spirit, named Feng Bo, controlled the winds in ancient times. He was tormented by the other spirits that his favored air benders where nearly wiped out. The opening of the portals gave Feng Bo the power to restore air bending to the physical world. Right after he finished his story, he followed it up with a "but that is just a children's story to tell young new air benders."
I let my fascination fade over the few weeks that had followed, just going through the motions of my boring, powerless, non-bending life. One night I had a dream of myself fire bending. I saw myself empowered and happy and as the set my powers diminished until they were gone altogether. I am tormented every day by my lack of bending and then to watch myself have what I most desire only to watch myself loose it. Day and night I am in agony as the dream repeated itself every night. I decided I could take no more, when I overheard the children talking of their stories saying what if it was real?
What if it was real? Well what if? What if the spirit Feng Bo really did give the humans the ability to air bend? If it can be done for air surely earth, water, and most importantly fire should be no different! Suddenly my life had meaning again, I devoted all the hours of my life to research to find the truth as to how. Once I knew the how fire bending should be quite easily attained. I meditated and pleaded with the spirits to aid me in my quest. I finally found a story of the Lion Turtles giving bending to the humans in the time before the Avatar. If the Lion Turtles had this ability certainly it must still exist. I was off to find this power searching the old tombs and catacombs across every temple throughout the tribe. Endless days of reading scrolls, ending in failure...until today!
This scroll depicts the story of a nameless man, who challenged the first Fire Lord to an Agni Kai duel. The only problem with this idea was the nameless man was not a fire bender at all. The scroll continues to tell the tale of the man's quest to gain fire bending to properly participate in the dual. The man gained many followers to support his ambitions, mostly those that opposed the Fire Lord. Together the nameless man and his followers developed a ritual to give them all fire! I grow more excited as I read on only to feel my heart sink when I read that the Fire Lord had the nameless man and his followers executed after learning of their plans. When I go to the next scroll I am elated to find a complete set of instructions to conduct the ritual that promised the power I have dreamed of having for as long as I can recall. Towards the bottom of the scroll the beginnings of a warning are written, but the time has faded away the remainder of the words. I disregard what the warning may have at one time said, and decide the reward is worth the risk! I recognize my destiny after reading this scroll, I gather it up and make my way back to the village. The nameless man was foolish to challenge the Fire Lord before he was able to go through with his plans, but wise I the fact that he gained many supporters. I should do the same, as it should not be difficult to convince any non-bender to join my cause.
Months pass many shamans support me and my goals. They are all so dedicated I cannot, will not let them down. We are nearly ready to start the ritual only few weeks away, I can almost feel the power already. I sit in my father's chamber waiting for him to arrive he, said to meet him here at noon, as he wished to speak to me. No doubt it is of my recent endeavor. My father arrives, slightly late as he had done his entire life, once a powerful and stoic man. Now, nothing more than a shadow of the man he used to be. He has not aged well, no hair, cannot walk without a cane, on the days he decides to even get out of bed. Anyone close to him knows he is also losing his wits as well, forgetting where he is and what he is even talking about at times. But he is still greatly respected despite all his current flaws as he is Chief Loz, fire bender.
"Son, I am glad you have agreed to meet with me."
I bow as customary "Of course, Chief, I would not deny it."
"Good, I am tired so I will get to the point. This crazy ritual of yours has gone far enough, I am glad to see you so focused on a goal, but think you should focus that same energy on something productive for the tribe. I know they are shorthanded at the school"
"Father, this ritual is why I am so focused I can be a fire bender and finally lead my people! Like I was born to do. It is unjust of you to ask me such a thing."
"I am the Chief of this tribe and all its shamans, what is just and unjust is completely my decision! I am also not asking you to give up this ritual idea of yours I am forbidding you from carrying it out."
"But Father, I am a grown man you cannot forbid me from such things."
"Yes, but I can as your chief, no do not go through with this ritual."
"But, what of my birthright to one day be chief, I can't be chief and not be a fire bender, it you be a great shame to our people?"
"Yes, it would. I know my days left are few, it is no secret that my body and mind are failing me. Which is why I have decided to name Shaman Khang as my successor, it will be announced when he returns from his pilgrimage."
Rage is the first and only emotion I can feel right now. I stand, look at my father angrily, as he averts his gaze. I disregard any type of formalities and storm off not a word more."
- Kaito
The last lap, just don't screw up and you win Kaito, be cool! I really can't believe that random kid Berg and the pretty girl he was with really came through for me. Man, she was pretty good trophy for the win I suppose. Long black hair, nice fit body, was even a little feisty earlier down in the pits before the race. The last turn is coming up the win is almost yours just stayed focused, on what is gonna be waiting down in the winner circle for me, the firebender gal Kimiko. No focus, Kaito!
"Kaito, Berg here, you've got one coming quick don't lose focus."
"Focus, of course I'm focused!"
Some hot shot racer veteran from Republic City, just passed me and gets the checkered flag. How did I let myself lose focus on the last turn of the last lap in my first race when I had the lead? All I had to do was not lose focus and I blew it. This makes me quite upset. I'm walking my bike into the garage area, were I fond Berg as excited as if we did just win the race.
"Woo! That was epic wouldn't you say Kaito?"
"Epic? We lost?"
"Oh cheer up, Kaito, you got to race, Berg and I got to sit in the pits and be a bigger part of it then we had first expected to be."
That pretty gal Kimiko sure did have a good point. "Suppose that's all true, after all we did come this close bringing home that prize money."
"Wait there was prize money? Ugh you blew it big time man."
"Wow thanks Berg, but I was thinking since you guys did so well, I'm offering you the position as my full time crew, you'll travel the world with me going to all the different tracks. I kind of can't pay you though, not until we get a win or two under our belts." Before I finish my offer Berg is already agreeing.
"YES! YES! A thousand times yes!"
"Wait, no Berg."
"No, you can't say no he already said yes it's a deal, you much can't go back on deal."
"Yes, we can, we have very important responsibilities right now until pretty much forever."
"What could be more important than traveling the world and making some and then eventually a ton of money with me?"
The pair look at each other oddly like they have some huge secret. I must admit this has peaked my interest. Kimiko does look like she is part of the Sun Warriors, but Berg is just an average looking boy, maybe from the Earth Kingdom I can't really tell.
"You see Kaito, I'm kind of really important, maybe not yet, but I will be in a few years and traveling with you doesn't really fit into my plans."
"Please Berg, relax. He is the Avatar so it has to be no."
"Avatar huh? That's a good reason."
A very tall slim man approaches from behind, with an expression that looks like anger. He pulls Berg and Kimiko to the side, it's very apparent he is angry with them. Also his anger isn't allowing him to whisper successfully, as I make out almost every word he is saying. A bunch of stuff about your responsibilities, breaking trust, going against my wishes, and so on and so forth. I always thought about how cool being the Avatar would be, but right now it looks intensely lame. Berg replies yes Master Enzo and comes back to me.
"Sorry Kaito, Kimiko should not have told you who I am, and I must say good bye now, Training session first thing in the morning with my fire bending master."
"Hey, no problem, I get it. If you want to come back here and talk bikes and run some laps with me feel free, I'll be staying here at the garage, considering I didn't win any prize money, I can't really afford to travel to the next track."
"Sure thing man, great meeting you."
- Berg
We are leaving the track, I am surprised Master Enzo still allowed me to ride my bike back to the compound. The mornings training session will surely be a brutal one, although all the recent sessions with him have been brutal. That is clearly because the White Lotus and a few Fire Nation nobles are coming to watch me complete the trials in a few weeks. They will collectively decide if I am ready to move onto to air bending.
Speaking of air bending, it looks like there is an air bender gliding above me, and I think I saw him a few other times throughout the day. I had just dismissed him as a fan of the races. Now I know for sure he is watching me because the road is entirely empty aside from the three of us. This air bender is wearing a blacked out wing suit, not like all the orange and yellow ones I have seen the Air Nation wear normally. This just seems odd thinking of speaking up about it or confronting him myself he diverts his path before I take action.
I wrote off the air bender earlier as completely coincidental, yet still couldn't seem to get him off my mind who was he and why was he there?

Labour dog may win bone as Tories fight on Europe
THERE may be only one winner in the Tory civil war over Britain's relations with Europe - Labour leader Tony Blair.
Although Prime Minister John Major may have struck a deal on British beef exports at the European Union's Florence summit this weekend, he has proved to be the prisoner of the Euro-sceptics within his own party - and none more so than former prime minister Lady Thatcher.
Mr Major had no choice but to strike a bargain in Florence if he was to have any freedom of movement.
The beef crisis had proved a focal point for all the seething anger of the Euro-sceptics - many of whom want a complete withdrawal from the union.
He could mock right-wing backbenchers with their more extreme views. But what really hurt were the actions of Lady Thatcher in providing funds for the deeply Euro-sceptic European Foundation. Mr Major had thought he no longer needed to look over his shoulder at the stern visage of his predecessor, watching, noting, nit-picking, or so it seemed, his every move.
But her dramatic intervention was seen as an almighty rebuff to Mr Major at a time when he is determined to crack down hard on rebels on the Tory backbenches. She was in effect endorsing the presence of a fifth column within his own party.
There was no denying his fury as he retorted: 'Everyone must choose what to do with their own money. Lady Thatcher must answer for her own actions.
'Personally, I would have given the money to the Conservative Party.
'I am not going to be distracted by noises off on one side, or noises off on the other side. I have had a bellyful.' But nothing will silence Lady Thatcher over Europe. This is the unwelcome legacy of the notorious so-called foghorn diplomacy with which her detractors accused her of conducting European business when she was in power.
Mr Blair's role has been to accentuate Tory division.
In the midst of Mr Major's problems, Mr Blair visited Bonn last week to be greeted by Chancellor Helmut Kohl as a prime minister-in-waiting as he pledged a Labour government would be a leading member of the union, 'walking tall in Europe, not skulking on the sidelines'.
There were cries of treachery from furious Tory Euro-sceptics which only delighted the Labour leader, as the more he can prompt them to speak out the more the embarrassment to Mr Major.

Description of Study
This research project is being conducted by RMIT University, the Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation (Monash University) and other partners. We are interested in the experiences of women with early or premature menopause. We would like to interview you to understand what it is like to be diagnosed with early or premature menopause, what the symptoms are like, what your experiences with health professionals have been like, how early or premature menopause has impacted on your health and general wellbeing, your relationships and fertility, and anything else you'd like to share about your experience.
Based on information we gather from women with early or premature menopause, we will produce a Healthtalk Australia (healthtalkaustralia.org) website detailing women's experiences, and providing downloadable resources to support women with early / premature menopause, including in relation to talking with their health professionals.
Inclusion Criteria

Companies must act quickly if they are to benefit from business rate refunds dating back to 2015 with an appeal deadline of March 31 fast approaching.
Peter Fullam national Rating director, from the Birmingham offices of JLL comments: "The deadline to challenge your current rating assessment is fast approaching and time is of the essence. Many companies have one eye on the changes that commence in April with the start of the new rating list, rather than considering what could be done now about their existing assessment."
Appeals lodged against the current rating assessment may not only generate refunds but also have the potential to directly influence the rateable values and liability from 1st April 2017 onwards.
Fullam continues: "There is potentially great benefit by challenging current rating assessments and we urge ratepayers to act now before it is too late and the deadline to lodge appeals expires.
"At the very least by considering if an appeal is merited ratepayers can be reassured they are paying the correct levels of rates as they enter the new rating list following the revaluation"
The new rating list starts on April 1, 2017 and is the biggest shake-up in a generation to business rates in the UK.

Thank you to all the families who took the time to fill out our Summer Camp Survey!! We really appreciate all your feedback and testimonials!!
Summer Camp 2016 Survey Results in chart format
My daughter got to try new activities that she never would have been able to try. Through the rest of the summer and fall, she would bring up stories of some of the things they did at camp. I can see now that she has made some amazing memories. She has kept in contact with her group of friends that she made at camp.
"Best camp ever", our son says. He would stay the entire summer if he could. Great food, fun and caring counsellors, excellent activities that teach our youth about environmental awareness and responsibility.
Our daughter has flourished at Camp Kawartha. Her summers at Camp Kawartha have been filled with friendship, laughter, and fun in a beautiful natural setting with the nurturing, safety and quirky traditions of a large family. The staff are the best of the best!
Camp Kawartha is a place where our kids feel safe, happy, independent and cared about. The experiences that they have enjoyed while at camp have given them courage and confidence to be their best selves all year long. From the day we pick them up from the end of their session, our girls are counting the days until they return next year.
My daughter has been going to Camp Kawartha since the first summer she was old enough for day camp. Every year since she has lengthened her stay and this year at 12 went for 3 weeks. In the middle of August she asked if we could register yet for next year. Camp Kawartha is a magical place – everything summer camp is supposed to be.
It was a first time for our 10 year old son to stay in overnight camp for one week. Totally loved it! We did not expect it to be THAT awesome. So many activities and learning new, great leadership, food is "better than at home"(according to our boy), beautiful location, cozy cabins. Thank you, guys, for doing such a great job! Very memorable times.
They came back transformed. They came back enriched. It's the greatest gift you can give a kid.
This was our daughter's 5th year at Camp Kawartha. She had another wonderful experience with the enthusiastic counsellors and lots of new friends! The camp is on a beautiful property and my daughter loved being on the water and learning how to sail and kayak. I highly recommend Camp Kawartha!
Camp Kawartha was a great first Camp experience for our son! The whole process from start to finish was organized and welcoming. Our son had been very nervous upon our arrival, but as soon as he arrived we were asked to leave, he said he felt "at home" right away! Couldn't ask for more! Adventure, Nature and Security! Thank you Camp Kawartha
I am really impressed with Camp Kawartha. I did not go to camp as a child so I was nervous about sending my kids to an overnight camp but Camp Kawartha was the right choice. From the first day, I felt confident that they were in good hands and when I picked them up, I could already see an improvement in their independence and self esteem.
My son had the time of his life on the canoe trip in Algonquin Park – a fantastic experience where he made new friends, discovered a beautiful area, and can't wait to go back! We travel as a family quite a bit, but this was the most memorable trip of his summer!
