Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
To bee or not to bee?
City reviewing bylaw, could allow homeowners to have apiaries
Winnipeg is abuzz with the prospect of potentially allowing residents to keep beehives in their backyard.
On Monday, council's protection and community services committee voted in favour of reviewing the city's exotic animal bylaw to see if Winnipeg should allow urban beekeeping.
Beekeeping is restricted under the exotic animal bylaw, which does not allow residents to keep animals such as venomous snakes, monkeys, sheep, horses or other species that could be a nuisance in the city.
Apiaries are not allowed in commercial or residential neighbourhoods, and bees can only be housed on urban areas zoned for agriculture, such as the University of Manitoba agricultural research field.
Protection and community services chairwoman Coun. Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo) said she supports the idea and thinks urban beekeeping would be a great way to educate people about where their food comes from. Havixbeck said she used to consult on agricultural issues before she was elected, and beekeeping is a good way to incorporate agriculture into the city.
Manitoba beekeepers have said in recent years they've lost about 30 per cent of their bees every year, in part due to a parasitic pest and bees' weakened immune systems. Bees help pollinate everything from blueberries and canola crops to backyard gardens and flowers.
"The city has a role in food policy as well," Havixbeck said, noting she would try to keep bees if the idea is approved. "I think it's a great learning opportunity."
Charles Polcyn, president of the Red River Apiarist Association, told the committee urban beekeeping would help Winnipeggers grow more -- and better-quality -- food in their gardens. Polcyn said concerns about swarms of bees can be addressed by ensuring bees have enough space in the hive.
Polcyn said bees do not swarm unless the population of the hive has exploded and part of the hive leaves to look for a new home. He said fewer than one per cent of the population is allergic to bees, and unlike other insects -- such as wasps and hornets -- bees will not sting unless they are provoked.
"We're always asked the question -- where are the bees?" he said. "Well, a part of it is there aren't as many of them around anymore."
Hobby beekeeper Christopher Kirouac, who kept a couple of hives in Wolseley last summer, said Winnipeg could follow the example of cities such as Vancouver and New York that permit urban beekeeping. He suggested Winnipeg could develop "beware of bees" signage that alerts residents there are bees on site.
Kirouac said his neighbours did not notice his bees last year, but did notice the impact they had on their gardens.
"The bees did exceptionally well in the city," he said.
Animal services COO Leland Gordon said the city has not received a complaint about beekeeping since 2007, when one person complained to the city.
A full report is expected to be complete in September.

There is only one iPhone 4S that Apple makes, just with different storage capacity and colors. All accessories will be compatible.
The only exception would be if there was an accessory that required a subscription app from your carrier, which to the best of my knowledge, doesn't exist.- Answered by Samuel B from Fort Mill

For users that expect it to just work, I'd rather not show anything, since they should have no reason to be concerned with it. For users that have specific networking needs, they will likely be changing the default anyways, so no need to explicitly show it outside of 'Advanced Options'. Also, the info would be a duplicate of what's listed below the 'Advanced Options' tab, which is needlessly redundant. That said it's a pretty minor thing to add, I guess we will just see if people trip up on it. I suppose if anything goes 'wrong' in choosing a default ('default' network isn't present or is inactive, no networks or bridge devs) we could expand the 'Advanced Options' tab automatically which would hopefully prompt the user to examine the choice. Thanks, Cole

A NATIONAL competition has recognised Piccolo Coffee Roasters with an award for its freshly roasted decaffeinated coffee beans.
The cafe was awarded a bronze medal for its blend at last week's 2013 National Natvia Golden Bean Roasting Competition, held annually in Port Macquarie.
Piccolo's beans are decaffeinated using the "Swiss water process" and are freshly roasted on site in Warrnambool, according to owner Carmel Brady.
"The decaf blend is a pleasure to make and serve, with good body, great crema and a balanced palate," she said.
"The green beans are quite different to work with as decaf has already been treated, so it's taken my husband Tim a while to get a good roast going."
Mrs Brady said there was a strong following for Piccolo's decaf coffee.
"A lot of decaf is really mild and people feel like they're drinking hot milk, but this has a really flavoursome taste to it.
"We'll have people who come in and ask for a strong decaf, which might sound silly, but because it's quite flavoursome you can still have a full-bodied flavour.
"There's often a health reason for decaf drinkers.
"They've been told to cut down on caffeine, often they're pregnant women, and sometimes people think they're drinking too much caffeine, or they might be older people not sleeping as well and want to try decaf because they don't want to give up coffee.
"A lot of it is a mental thing.
"Some serious coffee drinkers turn their nose at decaf drinkers but sometimes I'll have one and I won't be able to tell the difference."
Piccolo Coffee Roasters was also highly commended in the Green Awards of the Powercorp Warrnambool Small Business Awards last week.

Will C. Wood High School will finally open its home football season tonight, after some local schools have played two or even three home games.
The Wildcats face Vanden in a Saturday night special at Tom Zunino Stadium. Junior varsity kickoff is set for 5:15, with the varsity game to follow.
Wood is 1-1, while Vanden looks solid at 2-0.
The Wildcats had a "zero week" opener at American Canyon three weeks ago, losing 38-22. They played again on the road on Sept. 6, rolling to a 41-15 victory at Pioneer of Woodland.
Wood had a bye last week. Since Vacaville played at Zunino on Friday night, Wood opted for a Saturday night home game instead of a third road contest.
Vanden had its longest road trip in recent memory last week, flying to Idaho to face Copper Hills of West Jordan, Utah. The Vikings cruised to a 41-0 win in Couer D'Alene.
Vanden opened the season with a 42-0 shutout over Dixon.
Both teams are at home next Friday. The Wildcats face Benicia on homecoming night, while the Vikings host Napa.

With its all-electric Leaf witnessing slow sales, Nissan has been - since the beginning of September - offering big discounts as well as affordable lease options to the customers interested in purchasing the car.
While the actual cost of the Leaf begins at $36,050 - inclusive of shipping charges -, Nissan is now offering the car at a $2,999 down for 32 months and $219 per month lease; thereby marking a $30 reduction from the $249 per month lease deal which was being offered by the automaker earlier this year.
Moreover, according to the TrueCar. com auto pricing site, the discounts on Leaf have also been raised by Nissan; with the company reportedly offering a substantial discount of $3,250 per Leaf in August; as against the $850 per Leaf discount in January this year.
The cheap leases and notable discounts which Nissan in now offering for the Leaf - capable of going up to 100 miles on a single charge of battery - is a move which is on the lines of a similar decision by Chevrolet Volt-maker General Motors, which is discounting the $40,000-priced Leaf rival by as much as $10,000, including a $249 per month lease agreement.
With the Leaf discounts being offered by Nissan applicable only to the 2012 models, Nissan spokesman David Reuter - with reference to the cheap leases and discounts on the Leaf - said: "The sales overall have not met our expectations, but we're working hard to keep pushing."

Can't use control+arrow to jump from one word to another
When adding a task, I can't use control+arrow to jump from one word to another. It's super annoying :(
I'm using Chrome browser.
Asked by Andre Carlucci on Jun 19, 2012 - 02:26
David Trey on Jun 19, 2012 - 02:34
Hello Andre,
unfortunately, that's not possible because we use Ctrl+Arrow as a shortcut to indent tasks. This way you can create sub-tasks more easily without using the mouse.
Best regards,
Andre Carlucci on Jun 19, 2012 - 02:41
Hi David,
Tks for the quick reply.
Are you sure this is the right call?
I mean, make a well known shortcut do something else?
David Trey on Jun 19, 2012 - 02:57
so far, this hasn't been a common issue because task names are usually short just to describe what you have to do and for detailed descriptions Todoist Premium members can use task notes where this shortcut doesn't work and you can add very long texts. Therefore, using Ctrl+Arrow is very rarely used to jump through a short task name.
Still, we're always open to any feedback and appreciate it as it helps us improve our software all the time and you're welcome to add a request to our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/
Best regards,
Andre Carlucci on Jun 19, 2012 - 03:01
Ok David, thanks for your time.
And congrats for this great system.
Ken Warner on Jul 18, 2012 - 14:23
Going to add my discontent to this issue. I really like the ability to move items around with keyboard shortcuts, but when I'm typing the actual item text, it really throws me off when I try to use standard windows shortcuts and they move the items around in the list rather than the cursor in the textbox

Ed Kingsley (m), __, father; Emily Kingsley (f), __, mother; Cora Kingsley (f), __, daughter.
Its twilight, and a mother and father wait for the promised return of their daughter who vanished ten years earlier. A stranger arrives at their doorstep, warning them that their daughter will only return on certain, agonising terms.
Another Synopsis
The doorbell rings. They open the door. On the porch stands a young woman. Emily and Edward Kingsley have dreamt of this night for seven years. At the same time, however, they have shared the dread that their dream may turn into a nightmare. But nothing could have prepared them for the decision they must face which will change the nature of their relationship forever.
Murray-Smith closely examines family, love and commitment with her characteristically sharp insight in this taut and compelling new drama.Australian Plays, http://www.currency.com.au/plays.htm, accessed August 16, 2003.
Joanna Murray-Smith's plays have been produced throughout Australia and all over the world . . . . Other plays include 'Nightfall,' 'Redemption,' 'Love Child,' 'Atlanta,' 'Flame' and 'Bombshells,' many of which have been translated into other languages and adapted for BBC, Swedish and Australian radio. Joanna's novel Truce was published by Penguin in 1994. She has written for ABC and SBS television and recently completed a screenplay for Hollywood. Her stage and screen writing has been nominated for many awards, and 'Honour' won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Drama in 1996. Joanna has written extensively for newspapers and journals, including The Age, The Australian, The Sunday Age, Overland and The Bulletin.Penguin Books Australia - What's New, http://www.penguin.com.au/authors/author-author-profile.cfm?AuthorId=0000001343, accessed August 24, 2003.
Joanna Murray-Smith is a Melbourne based playwright, screenwriter and novelist. Her plays, which include 'Honour,' 'Rapture,' 'Bombshells,' 'Nightfall,' 'Redemption,' 'Love Child' and 'Flame,' have been produced around the world. Honour has been produced in over two dozen countries, including productions on Broadway and at the National Theatre in London and most recently in the West End. Both 'Honour' and 'Rapture' won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Best Play. Most recently, Melbourne Theatre Company produced The Female of the Species. Joanna has also published three novels Truce, Judgement Rock and Sunnyside.Currency Press - Search, http://www.currency.com.au/search.aspx?type=author&author=Joanna+Murray-Smith, accessed September 10, 2008.
Murray-Smith has made a name for herself as a playwright, justly admired for her ironic studies of the Australian middle-classes' mid-life crises, insecurities, mores and absurdities, most of which are set in an Australian suburbia not dissimilar to that found on the Mornington Peninsula where she grew up. As one critic put it rather loftily, the world Murray-Smith chooses to write about is "fairly smug and comfortable", her people are "articulate, have every material advantage and a highly developed sense of their own anguish". She has written 10 plays, two of which, "Honour" in 1996 and "Rapture" in 2003, won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for drama. Honour has been performed on Broadway and at the National Theatre in London, and another of her plays, 'Nightfall,' has just received a rehearsed reading in New York. But fathoming the mysteries that fester beneath the cliches of suburbia through her playwrighting is not all there is to Murray-Smith. She has also written two novels, Truce in 1994 and Judgement Rock in 2002, both of which draw on her feelings and experience of the islands of Bass Strait. As a child, Murray-Smith spent family holidays, year after enchanted year, on the remote, uninhabited Erith Island, one of the Kent group of islands in Bass Strait. This moody landscape shaped her as much as did the wilds of suburbia over there on the mainland. "I carry the islands inside my head as a woman and as a writer," she has said. "They are an intense, unwavering landscape inside my own imagination." In its wildness, "its temperament, its imagery, its distance from society, it is unto itself."Storms in teacups - Books - Entertainment - smh.com.au, http://www.smh.com.au/news/books/storms-in-teacups/2005/09/01/1125302674805.html, accessed September 10, 2008.

Pinching threads, singularities and the number 0.0304...
The dynamics of capillary pinching of a fluid thread are described by similarity solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. Eggers [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3458 (1993)] recently proposed a single universal similarity solution for a viscous thread pinching with an inertial–viscous–capillary balance in an inviscid environment. In this paper it is shown that there is actually a countably infinite family of such similarity solutions which are each an asymptotic solution to the Navier–Stokes equations. The solutions all have axial scale t ′1/2 and radial scale t ′, where t ′ is the time to pinching. The solution obtained by Eggers appears to be special in that it is selected by the dynamics for most initial conditions by virtue of being less susceptible to finite‐amplitude instabilities. The analogous problem of a thread pinching in the absence of inertia is also investigated and it is shown that there is a countably infinite family of similarity solutions with axial scale t ′β and radial scale t ′, where each solution has a different exponent β.

I think we all know by now that reading this blog will in no way help with your meal planning, with creating memorable birthday parties, or with your gardening (unless quesadillas, streamers and pizza, and dried flowers stuck in a vase are your cup-of-tea). It's more than a full-time job for me, just keeping the clothes washed, my kids (kind of) clean and in one piece, and our schedule from collapsing in on itself. Yes, it's usually past 5:00 pm when I begin to rack my brain for ideas on what to serve my family for dinner (sigh). Today, though, I found myself surprisingly unoccupied for a few moments while Priss and Ben were at school, Elijah was working independently on an assignment and Mary was entertaining herself in the living room. I knew that if I sat down with a book, or tried working on the computer, the calmness and quiet would immediately be shattered – no I had to stay in the kitchen, out of sight. On an impulse, I reached for my stained, red-and-white checked Betty Crocker cook book and leafed through the pages haphazardly until reaching the cookie section. I didn't have chocolate chips (darn it!), or walnuts or cocoa powder or lemon zest, but wait… I did have flour, and butter, and sugar, and oatmeal! No more than 20 minutes later, I was sticking a baking sheet full of teaspoon-sized dough mounds into our oven.
I am embarrassed to admit how giddy my kids became when the smell of warmth and spicy sweetness wafted all heavenly-like through the house. "Are you making…cookies?" asked Elijah. Then, what do you know, I became an instant hero by confirming it was true, and that, no, they were not for a neighbor, or for daddy's work, or for church. The homemade treats (plain old humble oatmeal cookies) were just for us.
When Priscilla got home, I fixed her a plate of those cookies and sliced apples. I poured her some milk. I sat across from her with my coffee while she worked on her homework.
It felt really, really good.
I can easily get hung-up on all I can't be or do for my loved ones. But then again, if I'm diligent about looking for them, there are also plenty of affirming and precious reminders, like today,in the crumb dotted smiles of my kids, of how little it actually takes to make a normal afternoon seem special. I don't have to be Martha Stewart-ish to be a great, caring, loving and devoted mother. Deliberate eye contact, plenty of affection, and impromptu offerings of my time, cover a multitude of crafting/cooking deficiencies.
So I might not have it in me to make a paper mache anything or sew doll dresses, but I can certainly laugh at a knock-knock joke and be appropriately enthusiastic when Benjamin announces triumphantly that he, "For sure did not get a time-out in his kindergarten class this time."
They're only young once, for goodness sake! I'd best enjoy them more (and fret less) while I still can.

Opening Afternoon
The Stage
Waiting for the play to begin
Elijah, with a friend and fellow cast member, after the show
As soon as that spotlight hit my son, I became emotional. I hadn't known what to expect, it being his first real play performance and all. He'd been so secretive the last couple of weeks, hinting at but never expanding upon the story line, his role, or the lyrics to the songs he'd be singing. "I want it to be a total surprise," he kept telling me.
Elijah has always had this way of embedding himself into my heart and then filling it to capacity with his larger-than-life passions. Recently, however, he has been more vigorously pushing at its borders, sometimes so forcefully I fear I will not be able to stand, even for one more minute, the piercing pain/ecstasy of that said heart being stretched in order to accommodate his swelling moods, ambitions and desires. Too often, I try to make him understand, right now, what took me decades to figure out via trial and p-l-e-n-t-y of error. Too often, I become so fixated on reigning in his "dangerous" impulses, I forget to marvel at and thoroughly appreciate his, straight-up extraordinary, creativity.
He came alive on that stage, and I relished, with tears in my eyes, the look of joy and satisfaction on his face. "Did you like it?" he asked me afterwards, and I promised him, while embracing him, that I did. It is good, sometimes, to let that "mommy guard" down – to delight, without any stipulations, in your child, just exactly as he or she is.
Bravo, sweetheart! I am very, very proud of you! You worked hard, you gave it your best, and it showed.
A big thank you to my dear friend, Beth, and my godson, Thomas, for keeping us company this weekend. Your presence was (as always) truly healing and refreshing. We sure do love you!
"DID YOU HEAR ME?" I yell up the stairs, my voice tight with
annoyance. "Wha-a-at?" comes the maddening reply from my kids, whose
response time has been slowed down considerably this morning by sleepiness and
a general slow-pokiness you'd think by now I'd have grown accustomed to but,
judging by my high frustration level, apparently not.
"GET DOWN HERE FOR PRAYERS!" I repeat for the third
time. "RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" After a second or two, I can make out the sound of
footsteps – footsteps not hurrying: stomp
(pause), stomp (pause), stomp (pause), and here they come, all
sour-faced and on my every last nerve.
We gather together around a small brown shelf holding four
icons, two pussy willow stems and a candle. I am wondering now whether this edgy
and bristly atmosphere is an appropriate or inappropriate environment in
which to offer up intercessions to God, in front of his saints and the most
Holy Theotokos. Pausing to gain my composure, I take a deep breath and proceed,
despite my misgivings. "O Heavenly King, O Comforter, O Spirit of Truth…" we
all begin.
By the time we reach the morning prayer of Metropolitan
Philaret, I have quickened the pace a bit; my four and six-year-olds are
getting wiggly. The words come effortlessly to my lips; I know them well: "…In all my acts and deeds guide my thoughts
and feelings. In unforeseen events let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely without
embittering or embarrassing others…" SMACK!! Ouch! I've been struck again, unexpectedly, right where it
I've always considered myself a, for the most part, calm and composed kind of girl.
It has never been all that hard for me to keep from gesturing out the window
when a car cuts me off on the expressway, or to refrain from unloading my exasperation
on a distracted store clerk, an inattentive waitress or a persistent
telemarketer. In general, I truly do strive to give the benefit of the doubt to
those I come into contact with, which is why I've been lying awake in bed at
night wondering why, oh why, it's been so difficult for me lately to restrain
myself when dealing with the attitudes and behaviors of my own children.
I go through seasons as a mother – seasons of growth and
rebirth, and seasons of stagnancy. What I've fallen into presently is what's
known as a good old-fashioned rut – one in which I act, act and react all the
time, unconsciously. I find myself
talking at, more like lecturing,
lecturing angrily, my oldest son and he is scowling, scowling
self-protectively; he is hardening his heart. JUST OBEY! I want to
scream, I'm too tired and too busy for
your outbursts and interruptions! But
here's the thing – he's a human being, not a pet, not a houseplant, or an
inconvenience. My kids can sense
when they're being tolerated rather than treasured.
It's a tall order for us parents, having to figure out how
to lovingly discipline without embittering or embarrassing our children. It
takes a real and concerted effort to garner the insight necessary for setting
limits that are solid and yet respectful of the individual receiving them. It
is far easier to vent, reprove and summarize than to consistently,
unemotionally, with authority and kindness, address conduct that is rude,
unhealthy or deceptive. There is no trick to it – no fool-proof method I can
apply that will override my own sinfulness or exhaustion. Thus, there will be periods of tension and
misunderstanding within our household. I will undoubtedly succumb to reactionary, and ultimately ineffectual,
methods of child rearing. The question isn't, "What if I screw up?" but rather,
"How long will it take for me to pick my head up from out of the sand and
realize I need to shake myself off and start over, lest I continue on for
way longer than necessary being burdened by guilt and aggravation?"
Quite undeservedly, I was gifted with a much
hungered for spark of enlightenment. So comforted it made me feel, and yet also
ashamed – like how the sun's rays can fill a room with its brightness and
warmth while simultaneously drawing attention to the dust and lurking cobwebs
in its corners. I was not being the right kind of firm. I was not being wise.
My children were embittered and I was
embarrassed, when confronted by this prayer, because of it. But overall, I was, deep down, very thankful – thankful that despite my selfishness and lack of discipline Christ cared for me enough to tap me again on the
shoulder and whisper, "Hey now, let's pay attention."
Elder Porphyrios wrote,
Pray and then speak. That's what to do
with your children. If you are constantly lecturing them, you'll become
tiresome and when they grow up they'll feel a kind of oppression. Prefer prayer
and speak to them through prayer. Speak to God and God will speak to their
hearts. …. Say, 'Lord Jesus Christ, give Your light to my children. I entrust
them to You. You gave them to me, but I am weak and unable to guide them, so,
please, illuminate them.
Ah. Yeah, I see the problem. I have not been doing that. Period.
I've not been rising early enough to offer my sons and my daughters up to God before the busyness of the day overtakes
us. I have not been imploring Him in the evenings for forgiveness, guidance and
direction. What must I look like,
flailing my limbs and gasping for breath next to a big old neon life ring, within
reach? You know what, friends, I am really tired of fighting so hard against
the current – I think I'll grab on now, allowing God, our God who is compassionate
and omnipotent, to keep me afloat.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on my
family. Please, I need your help to become a devout, a patient, a prudent and
forgiving parent to my children whom you love fiercely and unconditionally.
This, is one tired, cranky, stubborn little girl – not napping:
I turned thirty-five-years-old on Saturday (Thirty-five?!). Guess what I got? Guess! Do you give up?

The Centerville School Board voted to close Cincinnati and Mystic Elementary Schools at the end of the school year during an emotional two-hour meeting Tuesday evening. The board also passed a series of resolutions cutting several positions, although not all that were originally suggested.
Board member Jeri Pershy made the motion to close Cincinnati and Mystic Elementary. Each board member made a statement as they voted.
"With declining enrollment…and the current budget constraint that we're under and we're going to be under in the future, I think it's in the best interest of our school district to close the elementary schools," said board member Michelle Moore.
"Even though I have strong ties to the Cincinnati School, it is with a heavy heart that I feel it is in the best interest of the school district as a whole to close both Mystic and Cincinnati at this time," board member Pershy said. "I appreciate all the input of the staff as well as local residents at all the meetings. I listened, learned and in the end changed my opinions on some of the cuts recommended. I can only hope our decision tonight is the right one. Only time will tell."
"I'm going to vote yes because of the cost savings…but I'd like to see the Cincinnati and Mystic kids when they come over here…stay together," said board member Tom Lange.
Superintendent Tony Ryan said they would try to keep the classes together as much as possible.
The motion passed unanimously.
In the end, the closing of the schools caused the loss of one full-time special education teaching position, two full-time Title I reading positions, three full-time general education teaching positions, two secretarial positions and two custodian positions from those schools. The board voted to move four general education teaching positions from those schools into Centerville so that each grade K-3 will have five sections next year, to help keep class sizes smaller.
Because of the move to close the outlying schools and adding a fifth section of K-3 into the Centerville school buildings, the board also moved to transition the third grade students to Lakeview Elementary beginning in the 2012-2013 school year.
At the Monday night work session the board and administrators had discussed the possibility of the third grade being housed at Lakeview. It was emphasized that the children would be housed in their own area and would have their own lunch period and recesses.
The board moved that four .5 positions up for reduction should be removed from consideration. The .5 art, band, vocal music and industrial technology positions were removed from consideration for cuts.
Several other positions were tabled until the board's next meeting. The one full-time P.E. teaching position, one full-time librarian position, one full-time attendance officer and one administrative secretary positions were tabled.
Several positions were cut. They are listed below.
1.2 full-time teaching positions at the Ed. Center. Approved unanimously.
1 full-time Title I reading position at Central School. Approved unanimously.
2 full time 7-12 science teaching positions. One of these positions was a temporary one-year contract due to the illness of the regularly hired teacher. Approved unanimously.
1 full-time 7-12 math position. This position was reduced due to the retirement of Marilyn Foster during the previous meeting. Approved unanimously.
.5 7-12 social science teaching position. Approved 5-2. Board members Lange and Marty Braster voted against.
.5 7-12 business education teaching position. Approved 5-2. Board members Lange and Braster voted against.
2 full-time 9-12 tutors. Approved 4-3. Board members Lange, Braster and Pershy voted against.
.5 assistant mechanic position. Approved unanimously.
2 full-time 9-12 custodian positions. Approved 6-1. Board member Braster voted against.
1 K-3 special education associate. Approved unanimously.
1 9-12 special education associate. Approved unanimously.
Before moving on to other business, Board president Nick Hindley thanked everyone for their work throughout the cost cutting process.
"I appreciate everybody going through this," said Hindley. "I don't think anybody here at this table or in this room is happy. There's nothing here that we did that we're proud of, that we're looking forward to doing…It's a grieving process. We've closed two schools. We've changed two towns. We've changed our school system. I hope everybody can grieve and then come together and make Centerville School District stronger and better."
In other business:

First chances to see Mike Magee, Robbie Rogers with their new clubs

First chances to see Mike Magee, Robbie Rogers with their new clubs
The Galaxy have called a press conference for later today to talk about their newest man, who isn't exactly new to the club, but is officially speaking.
When LA Galaxy president Chris Klein and coach Bruce Arena officially introduce Robbie Rogers during a Saturday media get-together at the Home Depot Center, they'll be talking about a well-talked about figure who has trained with the club for two weeks.
Before the trade late Friday, rights to the first openly gay male athlete in U.S. professional sports still belonged to Chicago. He was training with the Galaxy with the blessing of the Fire, who were hoping to arrange an equitable swap with the two-time defending MLS champions.
Friday, they did … and the Fire came out looking pretty good on the deal.
We talked about the trade from Chicago's perspective here, and then from the Galaxy's perspective here.
So we should know more in a few hours about whether Rogers will be on the bench for Sunday night's late visit by Seattle. The contest, 11 p.m. ET at the Home Depot Center, will be shown on ESPN2.
Rogers surely cannot be match fit; nothing close to it, in fact.
But it wouldn't be a shocker to see the winger come in around the 75th minute or so, would it? After all, Arena wasn't shy about getting Landon Donovan on the field a few weeks ago, even when the team's all-time leading scorer had been on the practice field for less than a week.
Forcing fitness through matches seems be an accepted method.
Meanwhile, beleaguered Chicago is in Utah for a Saturday match against Real Salt Lake. Presumably (until we hear otherwise, that is) Magee will take the short flight out of Southern California into Salt Lake to meet up with his new team.
It certainly wouldn't hurt Chicago to start their new man. After all, he does have six more goals this year than the usual Fire starter at striker Sherjill MacDonald, who has appeared in nine matches but has yet to nail the target for the 2-7-1Fire.
