A new kind of horse power for Detroit's kids and communities By David Silver • Aug 8, 2016 Detroit Horse Power The Next Idea I feel exceedingly fortunate to have grown up with horses as a big part of my childhood. I was brought up in suburban Westchester County, New York, about 20 minutes from prime horse country. I started regular riding lessons and showing when I was about 10. At age 14, I began competing in the Olympic sport of Three Day Eventing -- a horse triathlon that combines dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping. My thoroughbred, Rush, and I worked as a team -- training daily, building a partnership, testing our skills, persevering through disappointments and injuries. Horse people can describe at length the many valuable life lessons we learn from these amazing animals. Those skills and experiences hold the most weight for me as I look back on my international competitions and time spent working for top professionals. Auchter's Art: That's the mayor of Detroit? By John Auchter • Jul 29, 2016 John Auchter / Auchtoon.com In her later years, my wife's grandmother suffered from dementia. She was the same extraordinarily sweet, wonderful person she had always been, but her short-term memory faded and her filter disappeared. For a time she lived with my wife's family. Their formal dining room became her bedroom — it was easy to keep tabs on her from the adjacent kitchen. She would go to her room to watch the TV news, and as my wife did her homework in the kitchen, she could hear Nana talking to the news anchor or reporter as she watched.

Pleasant Valley student hopes someone else can fill his shoes
LINDA KOEHLER/TIMES NEWS Tim McCutchan, left, a Pleasant Valley High School AP Government class teacher, and one of his students, Jack Wathen, hold some of the shoes Jack has been collecting for Soles4Souls, to help those in need of shoes. He's hoping to reach 1,000 pairs by the end of May and is hoping the public will help him reach his goal.
So one day Jack Wathen was sitting on his bed looking at the floor of his closet.
The Pleasant Valley High School senior has been competing in soccer and track throughout his school years. He had compiled quite a collection of sneakers, all of which were accumulating on his closet floor. He began to wonder if maybe there were people who could use some worn but still-in-good-condition shoes.
He began searching online. One organization appealed to him. It was called, Soles4Souls, a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. It collects new and used shoes and clothes then distributes them by direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified microenterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities. Soles4Souls has distributed more than 19 million pairs of shoes around the world with the help of partners. With one in every four adults in the world living in extreme poverty, basic necessities like shoes aren't always available. In developing nations like Haiti, Honduras, and Tanzania, walking is the main form of transportation, and shoes can protect a person's feet from cuts and infections. Also, children in other parts of the world cannot attend school without a pair of shoes. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Soles4Souls is committed to the highest standards of operating and governance, and holds a four-star rating with Charity Navigator. .
Jack liked Soles4Souls because it accepted shoes in any condition and by donating his shoes, it would help him feel like he was making an impact on others. He thought about how a lot of his friends were also involved in sports and had shoes they no longer wore and wondered maybe if they would be interested in donating some of them.
Jack's AP Government class, taught by Tim McCutchan, held a Mock Congress. The students make laws and then decide whether or not to pass them. The bills have to be about making a difference and spreading hope to others.
Jack had prepared a bill about a shoe drive for Soles4Souls. It was his goal to collect 1,000 pairs of shoes in a month. Unfortunately, or ironically, his bill was presented on a day he was absent because he was in Washington D.C. His bill did not pass.
His teacher, Mr. McCutchan had told his students that if anyone believed in their bill and was committed to it, they could come to a Student Government Association (SGA) meeting and they could possibly make it happen.
Jack did just that and received the OK to begin his shoe drive, sponsored by the SGA. To get the word out, Jack put up posters around the school, makes daily school announcements and has placed drop-off bins all around the high school and in the other schools.
Just before the Mock Congress was held, there was a new phenomenon taking place in the Pleasant Valley School District. It is called the Hope Initiative, started by a few teachers and students to promote positivity, and hope. It is spreading like wildfire and the students and staff, districtwide are working toward a more positive environment in the schools and the community.
Jack and McCutchan think it has helped with the shoe drive because Jack has collected over 500 pairs of shoes so far. He is hoping to reach his goal of 1,000 pairs by the end of May.
"I love it. I like the busyness of it. My friend, Mark Wasco and I check the bins every day. Mr. McCutchan and his wife, help pair them up. We pack them up in boxes," says Jack.
McCutchan says that Jack gives up his lunch hour every day to sort and pack up the shoes. He runs track, which is in season now, and a half-hour between the end of school and before track practice, he works on the shoes.
"He's intrinsically motivated to do this," says McCutchan.
Jack has played varsity soccer for four years and track the last three years. He is a member of SADD and the Civil Air Patrol. After graduation, he will be attending Penn State University on a ROTC scholarship. He's going to major in aerospace engineering and his dream is to become an Air Force pilot. He is the son of Patricia and John Wathen of Effort and has a younger brother, Casey, 17, a PVHS junior.
His advice for younger students is, "Become involved. If kids say they don't like school, I think it's because they don't become involved in anything. There's something for everyone, some kind of sports, organization or activity."
Jack has a favorite quote from Frank Ocean. It is, "We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel that if I'm going to be alive - I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way." It's how Jack wants to live his life.
McCutchan and his wife, Francesca, have an 11-month old son, Nicholas.
"I would be so proud if my son becomes as a great a person as Jack is. Jack is one of those students that truly inspires me to be a better teacher," he says.
McCutchan believes Jack's efforts are an inspiration that will cause a ripple of hope "in our schools, community, nation, and the world. I know that Jack has made a difference in the world and I think it's an important lesson for students to learn that one person can make a difference. When I think of Jack and what he has done I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Robert Kennedy when he was visiting South Africa in the 1966. He said 'Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.' That is exactly what Jack has done. He has stood up to improve the lot of others and he has caused a ripple of hope. His ripple of hope is one that has inspired many teachers and students at PV and that ripple will keep the HOPE Initiative alive."
If you would like to help Jack reach his goal of 1,000 pairs of shoes by the end of May, drop your shoes off at any of the schools in the PV district or contact Mr. McCutchan at McCutchan. firstname.lastname@example.com.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State University must "scrub everything" as it works to restore order after the resignation of Jim Tressel, OSU president Gordon Gee said Monday, one week after the football coach's stunning departure.
Gee told The Associated Press in a phone interview that university trustees are looking at compliance issues across the university, not just in the athletic department.
"Any time that there is a mistake, or any time that there is an issue that flares up, and we go back through and scrub everything very, very carefully," he said. "We want to make certain that we're asking all the right questions."
Tressel resigned on Memorial Day following revelations that he failed to report allegations that several players had sold or traded memorabilia for cash and tattoos. The NCAA continues to investigate Ohio State's football program, particularly in regard to improper benefits and cars.
Gee said his biggest concern a week after Tressel's resignation is making sure the university looks at mistakes it made and corrects them.
"Make certain the procedures we have are best in class, and we are monitoring every one of those issues very, very carefully," Gee said. "We're going to make certain that we set a very high standard for ourselves."
And Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will be a part of that. Gee again insisted that Smith's job is safe.
"In tumultuous times it's important to have a very mature leader," Gee said. "He is that."Comment on this story
Also Monday, Ohio State released copies of emails and letters Gee has received since a March 8 news conference with Tressel and Smith in which the school acknowledged that Tressel had known about the memorabilia sales for months without alerting the university.
Gee has been criticized for his response when he was asked then whether he had considered firing Tressel: "I'm just hopeful the coach doesn't dismiss me."
"I found your comments to be both flippant and arrogant," Harry Turner, of LaCrosse, Wis., wrote on March 14. "Basically, you, Mr. Smith and Coach Tressel have sent a negative message to American's youth -- 'It's ok to win by cheating.'"

UNICEF concerned about the threats to children in armed conflict area of Zamboanga City, Philippines
MANILA, 23 September 2013 – UNICEF today expressed concerns about the plight of an estimated 90,000 children affected by the armed conflict in Zamboanga City including 47,000 children who have been displaced. Both the figures are estimated based on the national average percentage of below-18-year-old population.
"We condemn in the strongest terms any action undertaken in conflict situations that violates children's rights. Children have a right to special protection under international law, and every measure must be taken to ensure their protection," UNICEF Philippines Representative Tomoo Hozumi says.
The Philippine Government and other organizations have been taking actions to address the needs of the affected population including children by providing special services and supplies, water, food, hygiene facilities, health services, shelter and psychosocial support. UNICEF has provided hygiene and water kits to protect children from diseases, while tents that will serve as temporary learning spaces are being delivered. However, reports from the affected areas indicate that more needs to be done to protect children's rights and ensure their well-being. Action must be taken continually to:
1.prevent diseases such as diarrhoea, pneumonia and measles;
3.ensure earliest possible resumption of education (if necessary, in temporary locations) to provide a safe environment for children, help them regain sense of normalcy and ensure their uninterrupted education;
4.ensure special procedures are in place to reduce the additional risk of neglect, abuse, exploitation and violence against children that all too commonly accompanies prolonged instability and insecurity; and
5.provide special care and support services for children to reduce and address conflict-induced psychosocial problems such as distress, depression, anxiety disorder and trauma.
UNICEF and its partners are determined to assist in the provision of these protections as quickly as possible.
"All children have the right to grow and develop to their fullest potential, and they can only do this if they are free from fear, are healthy and well-nourished, and have access to schooling and play. The increased threats and additional risks facing children affected by the armed conflict in Zamboanga demand the immediate attention of everyone involved and must be addressed as a matter of real urgency," Hozumi adds.

EDMONTON -- An city woman who tried to run over her ex-husband while impaired, rammed his vehicle and drove into the front door of his shop was fined $3,150 on Wednesday.
Vanessa Renee Whiteman, 38, was also banned from driving for one year after earlier pleading guilty to charges of assault with a weapon, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and impaired driving.
"Using your vehicle to try to hit your husband was incredibly dangerous," Judge Susan Richardson said. "This was a concerted effort over a period of time to cause harm to him."
Richardson rejected the Crown's call for a four-to-six-month jail term after hearing Whiteman - a mother of five and grandmother of two - has three children at home and has since taken counselling for substance abuse, anger management and continues to see a psychiatrist.

Preparing for Registration
This tutorial was created to assist you with preparing to register for your first semester at Columbia. Most students begin registering for courses before New Student Orientation, but you might be registering on your own as a student-at-large or because you are starting classes in the summer. Either way, the resources on this site should help your registration experience be extremely productive, informative and easy.
To keep this simple, we have organized this tutorial into five steps to help you prepare to register. If you're coming to Orientation, we expect you to be prepared—and that's what this website is all about. Good luck!
- Step 1: Accessing your OASIS Account
- OASIS is the online portal to your account at Columbia College Chicago
- OASIS is used to access your academic record, your online "Advising Guide" and your student financial services information, and where you register for courses!
- To log onto your OASIS account, you will need your Columbia student ID # and your Oasis password. By default, your password is your six-digit birthday in this format: mmddyy
- HOMEWORK – Successfully log into your account at http://oasis.colum.edu. If you have trouble logging in, contact OASIS User Support at 312 369 7788.
(Once you have verified that you can log into your account, continue to Step 2.)
- Step 2: Determining your Placement Scores
- Before you can register for courses, you will need to know your placement in English and mathematics. If you have not yet taken the New Student Placement, you should do so as soon as possible.
- Transfer students who have already completed college-level English Writing & Rhetoric courses and mathematics, please skip to Step 3.
- All incoming students without transfer credit in English Composition are required to complete The Write Class (TWC) to determine their English placement scores. More info here.
- If you have completed the New Student Assessment at Columbia College Chicago, your placement scores for mathematics are located in your Oasis account under "Exams."
- If you completed the ACT or SAT Exam and you submitted your scores to Columbia, you can also use these test scores to determine your placement levels in mathematics.
- HOMEWORK – Look up your placement scores on your Oasis account by selecting your exams record. (Once you log in, click on the word "Student" on the top right for a list of links.) There will be a breakdown of placement scores and your personal scores will be listed at the bottom. Write down the English and mathematics courses you placed into. Also note whether you need to take a College Reading Course.
- Step 3: Transfer Credits & Evaluation
- If you are not transferring credits from another institution, please skip to Step 4.
- Once your transcripts have been received and evaluated, you will receive a "green evaluation sheet" from Columbia College Chicago.
- The evaluation will indicate how many credits were accepted at Columbia and whether or not your transfer courses will fulfill Liberal Arts & Sciences (LAS Core) requirements.
- If you wish to have your transfer credits fulfill requirements in your major, you will need approval from your major department.
- HOMEWORK – Verify that your transfer credits have been accepted at Columbia by viewing your Academic Record on Oasis. If your credits have not been evaluated and accepted, you should visit the Office of Degree Evaluation website for more information.
- Step 4: Graduation Requirements & Suggested Major Courses
- During Orientation, we will review your degree requirements and answer your questions. However, we suggest that you arrive with a basic understanding of your requirements. If you are a student-at-large or beginning in the summer, you might not be attending Orientation; if that's the case, get in touch with us to learn more about your requirements.
- HOMEWORK # 1– Look at your "Advising Guide" on Oasis. This advising guide will give you an unofficial evaluation of your degree requirements, including your LAS Core and major requirements.
- HOMEWORK # 2 – View the requirements and various degree pathways for your major in the most recent catalog. Write down the suggested courses and their course numbers.
- Step 5: Prepare Your First Semester Schedule
- Log into your Oasis account and view the course schedule for the upcoming semester. Use the table below to guide you in selecting your first-semester courses.
- HOMEWORK - Create your list of first-semester courses before you arrive at Orientation—or register on your own. As students register for courses, the course schedule will change (and classes will close as they fill up). Keep checking the course schedule as you get closer to your registration date.

A pair of Ramona High football players have made college commitments, with linebacker/tight end Christian Drews picking Utah of the Pac-12 and tight end Matt Lawler committing to Air Force of the Mountain West.
A three-year varsity letterman for the Bulldogs, Drews (6-2, 225) caught 11 passes for 193 yards in 10 games as a junior last season and was a first-team All-Palomar League selection on a team that went 8-5 and advanced to the San Diego Section Division III title game before losing to Lincoln.
Drews plans to go on a Mormon mission after graduating from high school and will enter Utah as part of the class of 2016.
The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Lawler turned down an offer from San Diego State, saying Air Force was his dream school. He played seven games as a junior last season, catching 10 passes for 117 yards.
Bonita Vista football
Former San Diego State receiver and receivers coach Ray Peterson has been named head football coach at Bonita Vista. This is the first head coaching position for Peterson.

"The Raven" is an appropriately supernatural poem for the Halloween period. First published in 1845, it has long been a favorite of Edgar Allan Poe enthusiasts.
Expertly voiced by Phillip J. Mather, this performance brings a musicality to the language of the poem, luring the listener into the desolate scene and keeping him spellbound as the tale unfolds.
Public Domain (P)2014 Phillip J. Mather
"Wonderful narration."
Yes I certainly would. 'The Raven' is a truly haunting supernatural poem written by Edgar Allen Poe, and with the incredibly deep and poignant voice of Phillip J. Mather it becomes more of a performance than narration.
Definitely when he hears the raven tapping. It is the story of a love lost, and of a man who sits pondering one winters evening, haunted by the death of his beloved Lenore. Then he hears a tapping and thinks there is someone at his door, however, no one is there and he then discovers a raven at his window. Upon letting it in, he concludes that it must have been an escaped pet bird as it appears to respond to him, but it only knows one word "nevermore." However, he is a haunted man with a tortured soul who needs to talk, but will he find peace?
Phillip J. Mather brought this great classic poem, deep and full of hidden meaning wonderfully to life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful narration of this classic creepy supernatural poem.
"Mather's voice"
I have to say that Mather's voice is like butter. Smooth and rich to listen while relaxing. I could listen to him all day. Glad to know he has recorded several other works.
What can one say? It is Poe!
He brings it to life. Audio books have a way of helping the brain paint a picture, at least for me. I have purchased a few that were a bother to get through because the person's voice just didn't click with the story. I suspect Mr. Mather could read a telephone book and make it sound interesting. Pleased as punch to have discovered him.
Yes it was.
I have looked at the other texts that this reader has done and will purchase a couple I would not have before because of who is reading it. Thanks!
"Very impressive!"
Fascinating, dramatic and enthralling!
An amazing effort of wit and imagination
A flair for the dramatic
You will remember this movie "evermore"
I thoroughly enjoyed this excerpt, and the reading by Phillip Mather was like music!
"A classic narrated by Phillip J. Mather"
The Raven is in my top 10
The story is a classic and Phillip J. Mather's narration of this classic is exquisite!
His voice is amazing!
"A classic tale - wonderfully narrated"
Marvelously performed - Phillip J Mather's narration really brought the tale to life and imparted just the right amount of darkness

Anne Cochran Assumes WOCCU Treasurer Post
World Council of Credit Unions board director Anne Cochran has been named treasurer of the group, replacing Mark Bailey. Bailey, who was named president of the Irish League of Credit Unions last year, resigned his position on the WOCCU board to devote more time to Ireland's credit unions.
ILCU board member Brian McCrory was appointed to a director's position to continue representing Ireland's interests on the WOCCU board. Cochran is president/CEO of the Louisiana Credit Union League and has been a WOCCU board member since 2007. Both appointments were made during WOCCU's April board meeting and are effective immediately.
"We're sorry to see Mark Bailey leave us, and we have appreciated the years of leadership he has provided WOCCU. But we're pleased by the recent board changes," said Pete Crear, WOCCU president/CEO. "Anne Cochran has been a tireless champion for WOCCU, and we're thrilled to see her rise in the board ranks. As a professional educator and experienced ILCU board member, Brian McCrory brings a strong new dynamic to the boards."
Bailey's original WOCCU board term expires in July, making McCrory eligible to run as an incumbent for another term. Cochran's appointment as CUNA representative to the WOCCU board expires in July 2011.
