2,000 nationalists from Derry fought in trenches, McGuinness right to visit Somme, says filmmaker Gavin Patton
The producer of a documentary that tells how thousands of Catholics from Londonderry fought for the British Army in the First World War has praised Martin McGuinness's decision to visit the Somme and Flanders.
Gavin Patton's film The Derry Story: Great War, Great Slaughter is his second collaboration with local historian Seamus Breslin and looks at the role played by almost 2,000 nationalists in the trenches 100 years ago.
"I will admit I really didn't know much at all about Derry men's involvement in the war," Mr Patton said. "It wasn't something that was talked about. A lot of my friends were surprised when I told them what the documentary was going to be about.
"This is a story that needs to be told. It has been kept quiet too long, and I think Martin McGuinness's visit to Belgium and France will encourage others to find out if they have relatives that fought in the war.
"Walking through the graveyards and seeing all the names so synonymous with Derry like McLaughlin, Doherty and Coyle is extremely moving.
"I came across the name Michael Patton in one graveyard, which is my own father's name, so of course I wondered if this Michael Patton was a relative."
In one cemetery there are 190 graves, 30 of them men from the Bogside, buried alongside a relative of PM David Cameron. Mr Patton added: "Making the film had a big effect on me. When I returned I looked at the War Memorial in a whole new light. This turns the history we were all told completely on its head."
The idea for the documentary came from Mr Breslin, who began researching the subject 20 years ago, when it was still taboo.
"I think from around the time of Bloody Sunday no Catholic from Derry would admit having any connection to the British Army," he said.
"When I began looking at this, I came under attack from extremists. There were republicans who gave me hassle, and there were loyalists who accused me of trying to steal their history.

"Thank God for people in the middle like the late David Ervine, who welcomed the interest.
"Up until recently it was the story of the Ulster Division that dominated history, but in Derry there were 1,600 men who joined the 16th (Irish) Division, and later more than 300 from the Bogside.
"They went to fight for Catholic France and Belgium
"In the documentary we show a statue of Our Lady created by a Parisian sculptor and paid for by the men from Derry, which is a memorial to the war dead no one in Derry knows about.
"In contrast to the way nationalists in Dublin and Belfast were treated when they returned from the war, the men who came back to Derry were well received.
"Some of their names are on the War Memorial at the Diamond, but it is only now that people are taking an interest. This is a story that until recently people did not want to hear."
- The Derry Story: Great War, Great Slaughter by Gavin Patton and featuring Seamus Breslin is available on YouTube.

The man they call Maximum Bob had visions of becoming Governor Maximum Bob. When the former vice chairman of General Motors saw his tenure with automaker drawing to a close, Bob Lutz considered running for governor of Michigan. It appears this was merely a brief consideration, ahead of the 2010 election.

Michigan's First Gentleman gushes over Toyota
Open mouth. Insert foot. The Governor of Michigan's husband, Daniel Mulhern, has a weekly e-mail newsletter in which he talks about business leadership called Reading for Leading. In this week's edition he gushes over an automaker he thinks shows exemplary management style - Toyota. Pause. Did that sink in yet? It didn't strike many as a good use of judgement, including the good folks over at the Detroit News. In his column (accessible through the read link), News reporter Daniel Howes called th

Simon Page created some wonderful retro style posters for the International Year of Astronomy which is this year (2009). Rather than go for a modern sci-fi highly photoshopped image he has gone for a more retro feel with posters that you might of expect to see on an old astronomy book back in the 60s and 70s.
He designed these as self-promotional works but word gets around and one day he received an email from the IYA 09 that they thought the posters were great and would like to use them for their promotional work.They are also on sale on his web store.

International Students are an important part of the global sustainability conversation.
Thank you for your interest in Presidio Graduate School!
As an international applicant, the following information is critical for you to review as you apply and enroll in our MBA in Sustainable Business program. Below you'll find answers to commonly asked questions and additional information. Please read this information carefully and then reach out to the Admissions Office with any questions particular to your situation. We look forward to working with you!
International students are eligible to apply to PGS's MBA in Sustainable Business, our Seattle-based Metro MBA program. The MBA in Sustainable Systems, our Hybrid MBA program at IslandWood, is not available to international students.
Before an international student may attend Presidio Graduate School, they will need to complete the following important steps leading up to being issued an F-1 student visa:
Please see the Department of State web site below for more information on student visas and applications:
International applicants whose baccalaureate degree was not completed in English must provide evidence of English proficiency by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Minimum TOEFL iBT Total Score Requirement: 90. Minimum TOEFL PBT Total Score Requirement: 600. International applicants with extensive work experience or previous study in the U.S. may request to have the TOEFL requirement waived. TOEFL scores are valid for two years from the test date. Presidio Graduate School institution code is 7306.
If you think your TOEFL exam should be waived, please contact the Admissions Office.
In order for PGS to issue the Certificate of Visa Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019), U.S. immigration policies require that PGS verify the financial resources of all international applicants. International applicants must therefore submit complete and accurate information regarding their sources of financial support using the International Student Declaration of Finances.
Commonly, international students have a sponsor such as a family member who will complete this form for them and pay their tuition, fees, and living expenses.
All documents must be in English or accompanied with an official English translation.
» Download the Declaration of Finance document here.
U.S. immigration policies require that, in order to qualify for a student visa, an international student must have the financial resources available to pay for tuition and fees as well as living expenses for the duration of the program. International students are not eligible for federal financial aid, nor are they eligible for working within the U.S. during the duration of the program. Therefore, these financial resources must be documented and verified by a bank or financial institution.
The International Student Declaration of Finances documents that you have the financial means to pay for the tuition, fees, and living expenses associated with enrolling in the MBA in Sustainable Business program at PGS.
International students are responsible for the entire cost of the MBA program, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, living expenses while residing in the Seattle area, as well as travel and transportation costs. For the 2017-18 academic year, the estimated cost for tuition for Year 1 of the MBA program is $30,000. Books and supplies are estimated at $350.
Living expenses are based on an estimate for what students will need for room and board and other associated costs while attending school in the U.S. This is just an estimate and the student should consider how much money they will need to live in the Seattle area while attending the program.
For the 2017-18 academic year, living expenses for Year 1 are estimated at $12,000.
The declaration does not include finances for travel to and from the the U.S. for the program, and it is advised that the student consider this cost during the application process.
For the 2017-18 academic year, local transportation is estimated at $1,080, which is an average cost based on public transportation.
An additional consideration is that the MBA in Sustainable Business program is estimated to be an 8-quarter/24-month program in duration. Therefore, ultimately international students must have the finances for the entire duration of the program. Based on 2017-18 tuition rates of $1000/credit, this is estimated to be a total program cost of $85,000-90,000. .
Submit the completed form, with all original documentation and any additional letters or documentation to or email email@example.com:
Please contact the Admissions Office at firstname.lastname@example.com with further questions.

A lot of college students don't start thinking about their post college professional life until their senior year. Many don't even start until graduation is a week away (or it's already passed) and they need to find a job a.s.a.p. The common misconception is that there is nothing a student can really do while in school outside of a summer internship that can help them prepare for the road after college and an internship in their chosen field is the only way they will be able to show some sort of professional qualifications.
While it's certainly true that an internship goes a long way in helping a student get a job, it's not the only method that graduating students have to stand out to a potential employer or gain experience. Volunteering is always a great way to get noticed. It doesn't have to be in your profession of choice, even helping at something purely philanthropic like a soup kitchen is great, and it shows employers that you're committed to more than just yourself. It also gives you the opportunity to network with other professionals that may volunteer as well which can lead to references and networking opportunities.
Students also have the opportunity to sign up with professional or pre-professional groups through their school. These organizations look great on a resume and often have speakers and networking events that can go a long way towards providing introductions to companies or industries that a student may be seeking a job in. In addition to professional groups, student groups are another alternative that can help expand a professional network. Student groups could be a running club, skiing team, fraternity/sorority, or any group that allows people to expand their network and meet others with similar interests. These groups can be very helpful when trying to get your resume out and gain more exposure particularly if any of the other group members have a contact at a company you are interested in.
Keeping yourself active and your name on people's minds is important. A huge part of finding the job you want is networking and meeting the right people to let them know what your strong points are. While networking may not be something you can put on a resume, it helps to fill in the gaps that a resume can't show about you and can provide you with that important introduction that can get the interview.

Usage Of Positioning Messages In University Advertisements
The positioning concept, which is a result of both the increase in population and the increasing diversity in the society in the second half of the 20th century, has been gradually becoming prominent in the services sector as well as the industrial sector. Known as the effort to position a product, whether an actual product or a service, to a specific zone in the consumers' mind, positioning is also important for universities, which are considered to be important actors in the services sector. On the other hand, communication efforts and strategies developed by the universities for this purpose were lacking until now, with the dominant tool used by the universities being commercials. In this study, the relations between universities and the concept of positioning are discussed while 10 private universities in Ýstanbul are examined in terms of their use of positioning in their advertisements. Study was based on the poitioning ways developed by Aaker and Shansby (1982: 56-62). At the end of the study, it was seen that the universities don't give a place to positioning messages or they adopt only positioning with quality approach in their advertisements.

Robert Reich: Republican wordsmiths know they can count on Fox News and right-wing yell radio to amplify and intensify all of this in continuous loops of elaboration and outrage, repeated so often as to infect peoples' minds like purulent pustules.
Big Government Must Embrace Big Data
Brian Goldstein: In 2011 a majority of Americans believed crime was getting worse as the country was experiencing a steady 15-year decline. Crime data is the only way to fight the undue influence of misperception and anecdotal evidence.
The Website That Didn't Work
Steve Hochstadt: The Obama administration failed to deliver what it promised. Republican obstructionism contributed to the failure. But now more people who are eligible are enrolling for Medicaid. People who have signed up are already saving money on insurance.
Open Letter to MoveOn: Time To Change Course On Obamacare
Margaret Flowers: It is time to join the rest of the civilized world, including our neighbors to the North and South, who treat healthcare not as a commodity but as the public good that it should be.
How Not to Support Obamacare
Peter Laarman: What's striking about the president's pirouette on the ACA, and about Democratic disarray in the face of the renewed GOP assault in the House, is the absence of any open discourse on the underlying ethics of health care.
The Obama Apology That Is Needed
Kevin Zeese: Even though single payer had the support of more than 60 percent of Americans, two-thirds of doctors as well as nurses, I ignored the desires of the people and instead worked with the insurance industry, pharmaceutical industry and for-profit hospitals.
Well-Being of Women Absent from Strict Texas Abortion Law
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: A discussion of the well-being of women in Texas is largely absent from those that govern, especially a consideration of the undue burdens they may face as a result of restricted abortion access.
Having the Backbone to Set Minimum Standards for Health Insurance
Robert Reich: But spineless Democrats (including my old boss Bill Clinton) are caving in to the Republican-fueled outrage that the President "misled" Americans into thinking they could keep their old lousy policies — and are now urging the White House to forget the new standards and let people keep what they had before.
The Big Scare on ObamaCare
John MacMurray: The important point—actually the only point Kristol makes—is that if ObamaCare is passed, people will like it. And people will realize that Democrats gave them healthcare and the Republicans didn't.
Why Do Republicans Hate Their Own Healthcare Approach?
Robert Reich: Had Democrats stuck to the original Democratic vision and built comprehensive health insurance on Social Security and Medicare, it would have been cheaper, simpler, and more widely accepted by the public. And Republicans would be hollering anyway.
The AMA vs. The USA
John MacMurray: Despite its lofty reputation, the AMA fought every major effort at health care reform over the past 80 years.
Misinterpreting an Urgent Medical Need
Steven Mikulan: AB 1263 that Brown vetoed would have addressed California's acute shortage of medical translators by permitting the state to spend $200,000 to gain access to $270 million in Affordable Care Act funds to create about 7,000 interpreter jobs within 10 years.
What to Expect During the Cease-Fire
Robert Reich: Our real economic problem continues to be a dearth of good jobs along with widening inequality. Cutting the budget deficit may make both worse, by reducing total demand for goods and services and eliminating programs that lower-income Americans depend on.

Clouds of smoke rise up aimlessly,
Drifting towards the sky.
Splitting apart into the air where,
Do they then disappear?
We cannot see them but they are still
There, just now invisible to us.
Their impact of the world we live in,
Is still a big problem.
We cannot continue to ignore the invisible,
Or believe that what is not seen is not there.
Of course it exists and matters to us,
Just when will people see this.
We must learn to see the invisible
And take note of the hidden,
Only then can we understand
The problems that we make.
Many girls dream about their Prom, and the perfect...
My poem was inspired by my love and passion for stories...
Just to show how devoted I am to my loyal fans. In...
My entry for the Valentine's Day competition. My sonnet...
Everyone's got a story to tell...but not everyone's...

Cops Raid Constable's Home; Find 4 Cars, 6 Houses And Property Worth Crores
29/12/2015 4:46 PM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:25 AM IST
Prajakta Hebbar News Producer, HuffPost India
Sleuths from the anti-corruption Lokayukta police recovered four cars, six houses and assets worth crores of rupees in raids from a traffic police constable in Madhya Pradesh on Monday.
Head constable Arun Singh who was posted in regional transport office, Jabalpur, was accused of amassing wealth 'disproportionate to his income', said a report in The Times of India.
The officer, who had been working with the force for about 32 years, could not have earned more than Rs 50 lakh during his entire tenure, according to media reports.
But Singh, whose house was raided in by the anti-corruption Lokayukta police on Monday morning, has managed to collect over Rs 5 crore, said NDTV.
According to media reports, this is a list of things Singh and his family own:
Reportedly, Sigh hasn't reported for work for over three months -- ever since his transfer to Jabalpur. He was earlier posted at Sendhwa border barrier and complaints of corruption were received against him during this tenure.

A military court on Tuesday sentenced two Jordanian brothers to three years in jail each for plotting to attack US and British officers in the country in 2010, an official said.
"The state security court sentenced Alaeddin Abu Sarhan, 28, to three years in prison. His bother Mohammed, 23, received a similar sentence," the court official told AFP.
"They were charged with conspiracy to carry out acts of terrorism."
Their lawyer Hekmat Rawashdeh said he plans to appeal the verdict within 30 days "because it is unjust."
The official, citing the charge sheet, said "Mohammed went to Iraq in 2003 to fight the American troops, but returned to Jordan after the fall of Baghdad. He later convinced Alaeddin to attack foreign officers in the kingdom."
The two men began to track down targets across Jordan, and "in June, 2010, Alaeddin followed three sport utility vehicles near Amman carrying a group of US and British officers."
"He called Mohammed to help him attack the cars, but his brother could not come because he was busy," the official said, adding that the security services had tapped their phones and were able to arrest the pair.

Corset Trend 2017 – How do I wear it in everyday life?
Corsets are actually underwear or… for these and the coming seasons, however, the corset is one of the biggest fashion trends.
This does not mean that we are now running through the streets in underwear, because the sexy garment is combined with casual wear and clothes, blouses and knitwear. In the 18th and 19th century the corset belonged to the woman's outfit. You want to know more about the exciting face of the corset, then look here.
The corset trend 2017
From Prada to Victoria Beckham, the designers show us how varied the new trend can look. The stars are also inspired by the fashion trend! Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Co. show how cool the look in everyday life works. Unlike we had expected, we wear the corset no longer only at night, but all day just combined with a nice top.
It can be so easy!
As always in the fashion world, it depends on the right styling. But the new It-Peace makes it easy for us, because it is as good as to wear any look. The keyword is "layering" – this is the layer look or onellook. You can enhance your casual look with the corset. Combine a beautiful dress, a cool shirt or a sweater with a skinny jeans or leather pants and the new favorite pumps. Now the right corset and the look is finished. Look at the shape to emphasize your figure. Beautiful models are especially those that put just below the breast, tightly cinched around the waist, ending exactly at the hip bone.
The best thing about the look is, it emphasizes the waist and makes a super feminine silhouette, as in the Belle Epoque, only that it is different than before, today is comfortable and looks stylish.

Parent Zone: 'My teenage daughter is angry all the time'
An angry teen and a child who sticks to the same colours are among this week's problems
Q: HOW do you suggest I deal with a 14-year-old girl who curses non-stop, refuses to listen to her mother, is rude and constantly complains?
It certainly sounds as though this is a terribly unhappy and angry teenager. Not knowing the background of this situation makes it difficult to reply in a specific way to your question.
However, it does raise issues about teenagers and their development that need some outlining.
The teenage years are not quiet ones. Unlike the toddler years, where we can easily observe all the changes in development, the changes during the teen years are invisible to all but the careful observer.
Mood swings are common, inability to think through situations and plan ahead are common and a host of other brain-based difficulties arise.
Our teens are struggling with a host of challenges in school and out of school. Their relationships with other teens become increasingly more important to them and their need for independence means they will often rebel at home as well as in school.
All of this is normal and expected behaviour. There can be other problems that arise however. Many teens experience bouts of depression. Often they give voice to their depression by complaining that everything is boring.
They lose interest in activities that used to be pleasurable to them. Sometimes they withdraw from family and friends. It can be confusing to try and discern if these behaviours are part of the typical teenage developmental process or if they represent a real mental health difficulty. Sometimes the Wisdom of Solomon is required.
I'm going to make a guess here, based on the information you have provided me. I think your daughter is in the throes of conflict and intense unhappiness.
It could be that she is experiencing difficulties in school of a substantial kind or is having problems with her peer group or friend.
She could have experienced bullying or relationship troubles. There are so many things that can cause a girl her age to act this way it is hard to be certain without knowing more.
I think you should sit down with her and tell her the truth. The truth is that you believe she is unhappy and angry and you want to help. Sometimes just starting with the truth will put you on course to solve the problem.
If she is responsive to your honest interest in helping her she may open up and tell you what is troubling her. If she will not engage with you then you might want to think of another family member who can speak with her.
Sometimes a grandmother or grandfather, aunt or uncle, can break the ice. The most important thing at this point is to remain calm and realise your daughter needs some help.
If a family member can't talk with her then perhaps your family GP will sit and have a chat.
Referral to a counselling service is sometimes necessary in cases like this. Be patient, do not retaliate in anger if possible and open up communication with your daughter. She needs emotional support, guidance and someone who will understand.
Q: My son is in playschool and is always happy to bring home his art work to show us. I have noticed that over the past year, including this September, he only uses black and brown colours. Is this something to worry about?
I would not be the least concerned about a child who only colours in black and brown. It could be they just like those colours.
Interestingly, children's art is the doorway to their inner life.
However we need to be careful in our interpretations. Sometimes what seems like a dark and dreary use of colour is only a result of a limited number of colours available.
At other times it is just a favourite colour. Sometimes it is just force of habit. We can't make assumptions without some evidence to back them up.
Is your son showing any signs of unhappiness at home or in school?
Does he like to go off to school and does he come home happy?
Has his teacher spoken to you about him and expressed concerns?
How is his sleep pattern? Has it changed recently? How are his moods throughout the day?
All these questions are important when you try and discover if a child is experiencing any upset in their lives.
Children who have been traumatised often portray in some way or another signs of trauma in drawings.
Rarely will it be just the choice of colour though. I wonder if you are colouring with him at home.
It might be interesting just to sit with him and do some drawing with a wide variety of coloured pens, pencils and markers available to both of you.
You don't need to talk to him. In fact you just might sit and draw and say to yourself, aloud: "Hmmm, I think I want to colour the tree brown and the leaves green but I wonder what purple leaves would look like."
Children need to have their creativity stimulated and this is one good way to do it.
After all, leaves don't always have to be green do they? Lemons do not always have to be yellow.
In short, I don't think you need to worry. Follow my suggestion and see what happens.

David Marr
journalist and commentator
Born in Sydney in 1947, David attended the Church of England Grammar School and the University of Sydney, graduating in Arts and Law. He began work as an articled clerk for a law firm but subsequently turned to journalism, writing for the Bulletin magazine and then the National Times, a respected but now defunct weekly newspaper. He became editor in 1981, and sensationally published an explosive article outlining the criminal links of former NSW Premier Robert Askin on the day of Askins funeral.
Over the past twenty-five years he has worked at various outlets: for ABC TVs Four Corners, as a presenter for Radio National and for the Sydney Morning Herald, for whom he works today. In 2002-04 he hosted the ABCs Media Watch program.
In addition to journalism and commentary, David has written a number of highly acclaimed books. His biographies of Sir Garfield Barwick (1980) and Patrick White (1991) are regarded as seminal works and held up as being among the finest biographies written in Australia. Other books include The Ivanov Trail (1984), the story of a spy scandal that rocked the Hawke government, and Dark Victory (2004). Co-written with respected journalist Marian Wilkinson, this book analysed the 2001 Tampa incident and the subsequent election campaign.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of her heir - Charles III or William V - will be the most exciting thing to happen to the monarchy in half a century." An article by David Marr.

Lituanica recalls vanilla marshmallows
Lituanica is recalling all batches of Arsenal brand vanilla marshmallows. The product contains peanuts, which isn't mentioned on the label. If you're allergic to peanuts, don't eat this product. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
The product being recalled is:
- Arsenal Marshmallow Vanilla, 600g
- Best before: All date codes to 26 August 2012
Lituanica has recalled the affected product, and contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their members. Customer notices will be displayed in stores, explaining why the product is being recalled.
If you've bought the product you can return it to the store for a full refund.
No other Arsenal or Lituanica products are known to be affected.
About allergy alerts
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
You can get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.
To sign up to this free service, simply send the text message 'START ALLERGY' to the number 62372. To unsubscribe, just text 'STOP ALLERGY' to the same number.
You can also subscribe to our Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed for food and allergy alerts. RSS is a format for distributing news content and is a simple way to keep up to date with the latest news on a website. When we publish via RSS, you can automatically get the updated content via a 'news aggregator' or 'news reader'. Our RSS feed will contain a brief summary and link back to our web content.

Tera Guetter: She's got the whole wide watershed district in her hands
For Tera Guetter, being the administrator of the Pelican River Watershed District is more than just a job.
"I love the land, I love nature, I love being outside," she says. "It's kind of a natural (fit)."
A native of Waubun, Guetter holds a degree in geology from the University of Minnesota-Morris.
After she and husband, Randy, moved back to the Detroit Lakes area from Apple Valley in 1995, she took a job as an environmental coordinator for Mahnomen County, managing its recycling and household hazardous waste programs.
"We moved out of the Twin Cities because we wanted that small town environment to raise our family," she says. That family includes two daughters and three sons.
"We also wanted to feel like we were a part of the community," she adds. "That's really important to Randy and me."
After two years of working in Mahnomen County, Guetter took a job with the Wild Rice Watershed District. She made the drive there from Detroit Lakes for a year before the job opened up with the PRWD.
"I was pretty excited about it," she says. Not only did she not have to make the drive back and forth from Ada every day, the Pelican River Watershed District "was more focused on lakes and water quality...which I found very appealing."
Guetter was hired as the PRWD's administrator in 1997, and has been there ever since.
The PRWD is governed by a board of managers, which prioritizes which projects Guetter will tackle each year.
"My job is to carry out the goals and activities prioritized by the (PRWD) managers," Guetter says.
Those priorities are outlined in a 10-year management plan, which includes:
Monitoring of the district's lakes, rivers and other water bodies;
Enforcing stormwater runoff rules, which require that runoff from melting snow and rain off rooftops and pavement be captured and treated before being released back into the water supply;
Water quality education, which involves maintaining the district's informational website, giving presentations at meetings of area service groups as well as giving updates on PRWD activities to city council members and county commissioners;
Overseeing larger-scale projects of the PRWD, such as the current Rice Lake Wetland Nutrient Reduction Project -- which involves trying to reduce phosphorus discharge from the wetland into nearby water bodies. (Phosphorus is a fertilizer that promotes excessive growth of aquatic plants, Guetter says.)
Reducing the infestation of invasive plant species such as flowering rush in area water bodies is also part of PRWD's mission, she adds.
"There's a lot of science involved," says Guetter, noting that it's a great job for those who enjoy science, as she does.
One other part of Guetter's work involves working closely with other local units of government such as counties, cities, townships and school districts on projects that are mutually beneficial. By pooling resources, these different entities are able to accomplish more than they could individually, she explains.
"No one entity can do all things," she says. "We have to work together."
When she's not working on PRWD projects, Guetter is also heavily involved in the Detroit Lakes Morning Rotary Club, of which she has been a member since 2000.
"I love Rotary -- it's very much a part of my life," she says. "There are so many things we do for the community."
In 2007, Guetter became the club's president for a one-year term, and was also named as the club's Rotarian of the Year for 2007-08. That was the same year that the Detroit Lakes club was named as the top club for the district.
"I had quite a year," she says. "It was a lot of fun."
Guetter believes that joining a service organization such as Rotary is a great way for someone moving into a new town to get to know the people there.
"There are so many (service organizations) out there that are worthwhile, and do important services for the community," she says.
Guetter and her husband are also very active in Holy Rosary Church.
All three of their children attended Detroit Lakes High School, where youngest son Alex is now a senior. Their oldest daughter, Nicole, is a physical therapist at St. Mary's Innovis Health, while Erika is a senior at St. Scholastica in Duluth.
