CHESHIRE -- Monday's Adams-Cheshire Regional School District (ACRSD) committee meeting ended an era, as it was the last for two of the district's most prominent figures, Superintendent Alfred Skrocki and his assistant, Nancy Delorey.
Combined, Skrocki and Delorey have more than 60 years of experience in the district.
The pair have served together in their respective roles for 14 years, overseeing a digital revolution, constant retooling to suit new educational reform ideas and the comings and goings of thousands of area youths, including the children of neighbors and family.
But progress demands no pause, Skrocki indicated during an interview with the Transcript on Wednesday, when he set sights on the future before noting a career full of "hundreds of great memories and stories."
Efforts to bump up MCAS scores, making improvements detailed by 2009's federal Race to the Top (RTTT) initiative and employing data and core curriculums to improve instruction topped Skrocki's priorities.
"We can always do better and improve, and we should keep that in our minds," Skrocki said. "The final measure of how we do is the kids that have succeeded. Not making [success] happen for one kid or 50 kids, but 100 percent. It's got to be that way."
Skrocki said a finer reading of October's MCAS scores shows that nearly all students "are at the cusp" of breaking into the next scoring category, which would pull up the district's total ranking.
"[Nearly all students are] literally within a couple of points from advancing from one level to the next," Skrocki said.
Earlier this month, the district set the goal of reducing proficiency gaps by half by 2016-17.
Skrocki addressed RTTT reforms with confidence. Though work-heavy and comprehensive in asking for focused curriculums and data use, Skrocki said the push to reform has come from teachers as much as administrators, and the district's "priorities and beliefs" were already in line with the initiative.
"Overall, I think we're in excellent shape in regard to the district's setup and the people we have in place," Skrocki said. " ... For that, I credit staff and administration, students and parents, and the two communities. Their support is the reason why we're in good shape."
Delorey was proud to count her own daughter among the district's success stories, who graduated from Hoosac Valley and went onto a career in social work.
"I have a five-year-old grandson and I'm looking forward to catching up with everything at home," Delorey said of her retirement.
Skrocki credited Delorey as being the face of the district to outsiders, saying the two have had a "tremendous relationship" over their 14 years.
"Nancy is certainly the first point of contact for anybody who comes to our district," Skrocki said. "She's the one who sets the tone for what our district is and how it operates."
Skrocki looks forward to travel and his "first weeklong vacation in 30 years" during retirement. But, Skrocki added, "I won't be far."
Skrocki's Superintendent role will be filled by Kristen Gordon, former C.T. Plunkett Elementary School principal, and Lisa Bresett, Gordon's secretary, will assume Delorey's position.

Hyperbole and a Book: Speaking With Blogger Allie Brosh
Allie Brosh, whose blog "Hyperbole and a Half" attracts as many as five million readers a month, has published her first book.
Muhammed ibn Dawud: The Man of Our Times
Jennifer Tobkin discusses Muhammad ibn Dawud al-Isfahani (d. 297/909), compiler of an anthology of poetry called
Kitab al-Zahra
("The Book of the Flower") and author of some 500 lines of poetry in it as well as commentary on poems by other poets. Ibn Dawud is arguably more famous for the legend that he died from love for a male friend than for any of his own writings. As early as the 11th century, biographical dictionaries such as
Ta'rikh Baghdad
told the story of Ibn Dawud's writing those poems of his which appear in
Kitab al-Zahra
for a man who did not reciprocate Ibn Dawud's feelings for him and eventually dying from this unrequited love.

A Tribute to Doris Lessing
Bill also reflects on his conversation a decade ago with Nobel-prize winning novelist Doris Lessing who passed away in London at the age of 94.
When Bill asks Lessing, whose literary career spanned six decades, if she ever stops writing this is how she answered: "No, I'm compulsive and I deeply think that it has to be something very neurotic. And I'm not joking, it has to be. Because if I've finished a book and this wonderful release, which I'm now feeling; it's off, it's in a parcel, it's gone to a publisher. Bliss and happiness. I don't have to do anything, nothing — I can just sit around. But, suddenly it starts, you see. This terrible feeling that I am just wasting my life."
Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender and the End of Normal
: A Chat with Jack Halberstam
"The word 'gaga' is a great word. It has a similar sensibility to 'queer.' It's being a little bit off, a little bit crazy. And I felt it was time for feminism to go a bit gaga," says Jack Halberstam the author of
Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender and the End of Normal
and Director of The Center for Feminist Research at University of Southern California.
In a sweeping conversation with Thaddeus Russell, author of
A Renegade History of the United States
, Halberstam discusses sexual and gender identity, whether the traditional family structure has outlived its usefulness, and what Ariel Castro, Anthony Weiner and the infamous photos from Abu Grahib say about normativity in American culture.
John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney,
| Authors at Google
Fresh from the first $10 billion election campaign, two award-winning authors show how unbridled campaign spending defines our politics and, failing a dramatic intervention, signals the end of our democracy.
Blending vivid reporting from the 2012 campaign trail and deep perspective from decades covering American and international media and politics, political journalist John Nichols and media critic Robert W. McChesney explain how US elections are becoming controlled, predictable enterprises that are managed by a new class of consultants who wield millions of dollars and define our politics as never before. As the money gets bigger—especially after the Citizens United ruling—and journalism, a core check and balance on the government, declines, American citizens are in danger of becoming less informed and more open to manipulation. With groundbreaking behind-the-scenes reporting and staggering new research on "the money power,"
shows that this new power does not just endanger electoral politics; it is a challenge to the DNA of American democracy itself.

The picture does not do the suit justice. I is so much more lovely. Fits true to size. I really like it and wish it came in more colors.
This suit is absolutely beautiful! I do not write many reviews but felt I needed to for this suit. It is gorgeous! It is true to size and the color is so vibrant. I really wished it came in more colors.

New Years 2013 celebration
Absolutley loved the color and fit of the jacket. While everyone was wearing the traditional black or red holiday outfits, I stood out in the crowd! I received so many compliments. The only drawback is the elastic waistband, it slipped below my waist several times during dinner and dancing. Wish the pants were made with a side zipper and adjustable button.

Comments about BETANCOURT 1012334 Betancourt Nutrition™ Chewies™ BCAA - Variety:
I started using BCAAs a few months ago and immediately notice my muscles becoming harder and I began leaning out quicker. I weight lift 3x a week, do cardio 3-4x a weel & do yoga 1x a week. The problem with the old BCAA powder I was using was that it tasted aweful. These pills are insanely delicious. Seriously "addictively sweet" like the label says. Taste like sour sweet-tarts!!

You really don't like candy?
Trick or treat from Candy Direct! This has got to be our favorite time of year. Halloween isn't about ghosts, gremlins and creepy crawlies. It's about having a blast with your friends and gathering candy from your neighbors (or at least that's what your kids will tell you). Since we obviously know this spook-tacular holiday is going to be filled with candy, it's obviously one of our favorite holidays to celebrate!
We've got all the orange and black candy you need to fill the bags and buckets little trick-or-treaters will be waving in front of you! Keep them happy with all of their favorites like candy corn, spice drops, caramel candy corn, orange and black candies and much more. With this special holiday, almost anything goes as far as candy! Instead of just handing out handfuls at the door, it can be used for so much more:
• Create creepy cupcakes by baking chocolate cake and icing them with orange frosting. The face can be solely created from candy. Use small candies like Sixlets as the eyes, an orange slice as the nose and a piece of a licorice to create a long and creepy tongue. Dum Dums® can be used to give the cupcake alien antennas or Pop Rocks® to create multi-colored hair. There are so many options!
• Since kids often complain about the getting types of candy they get, let them create their own bag at a candy bar. Excellent for children's Halloween parties, these have been a hit everywhere. Make sure you stock up on a variety by including chocolate and sour, fruity stuff, as well as classics like candy corn.
Candy Direct has all you need right here – from bulk candy to fun-sized favorites! It's not necessary to stick to the basics. Trick-or-treaters will enjoy getting sweet treats like Airheads®, Reese's® and rock candy.
Are you tired of waiting all year for candy corn to go back on supermarket shelves? Why wait with Candy Direct, where we ship direct to you all year long. Pick up a 5-pound bag of traditional Candy Corn, with the sugary taste you'll become addicted to. Candy Corn from Jelly Belly comes in tiny bags that are ideal to keep at your desk or in your purse, or larger 9-ounce bags with a twist tie to keep the freshness packed in.
Tired of waiting until Halloween for candy corn to go back on supermarket shelves? Why wait, when with Candy Direct, you can buy candy corn in bulk? We'll ship direct to you all year long! Aside from the traditional stuff, we've got candy corn of all flavors, with the sugary taste that will surely get you hooked. To feed your craving, pack some of our Candy Corn in tiny bags – these are great for the desk or your purse. But when Halloween rolls around again, why not buy bulk candy corn in larger 9-ounce bags? With a twist tie, these bags totally keep the freshness packed in.
Everyone knows that when it's Halloween, it's time to pull down the candy from the shelves. With a hundred years of tradition behind them, candy corn in bulk will always be a part of our childhood, our culture and our pumpkin baskets.
Every year, we keep this tradition by giving out this sugary treat to costumed kids knocking on our doors. But even with tradition, we at Candy Direct believe that it's time to put a new spin on things. Now, you can buy bulk candy corn in different flavors for you to taste and enjoy without waiting for Halloween! Here, you can find candy corn now in caramel apple, cherry, tangerine and raspberry. If you're looking for a new shape to this traditional treat, Zachary offers the Easter mello crème mix: candy corn shaped into bunnies, carrots and eggs with a variety of flavors, too.
There's no need to hold back and wait for the opportunity to taste candy corn just for one day. You can buy from our shop at any time whether just for yourself or to share with all your friends!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch ...

After an intense three-day pre-cruise land tour in Alaska that included a plane, a train and a handful of motorcoaches, Island Princess looked like eye candy when we first spied her at the cruise terminal in Whittier.
Here was our refuge, our refueling station. We had cruised with Princess once before -- on Coral Princess, Island Princess's sister ship (her twin sister, as it turns out). The two ships are identical -- right down to the restaurants, the entertainment venues, the layout and decor. Immediately, we felt at home.
That's not to say Island Princess doesn't deliver some pleasant surprises. The public space is sleek, and even though she launched in 2003, there's no hint of wear and tear. Service was very good, particularly in the dining room. And the entertainment was top rate. But the thing that really stood out during our seven-night cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage was the quality of life onboard. Island Princess does a remarkable job of creating a quintessential Alaska experience that's highlighted by a lecture series featuring a state naturalist, National Park Service "ranger talks" and a presentation by the first woman to win the Iditarod. There's even a Princess travel guide and map that allow passengers to detect their navigational positions while referencing tales, points of interest and photos of the route.
Editor's note: During Island Princess' Central America season, the educational focus shifts to the Panama Canal.
And what's not to love about the private Alaskan Balcony Brunch, which includes Alaskan king crab quiche, smoked Copper River salmon, fresh fruit, homemade pastries and chilled champagne? Or waiters distributing hot toddies on deck? Or, of all things, a reindeer chili and rockfish chowder cook-off? And where better to enjoy Baked Alaska than in Alaska?
Public Rooms
The 1,970-passenger Island Princess was designed to go through the Panama Canal, so it is trimmer and more compact than other ships in the Princess fleet. But thanks to a creative design, it features two full decks of public spaces as opposed to a traditional single Promenade deck.
Indoors, it doesn't scrimp either, offering as much in the way of public room space -- lounges, eating areas, entertainment venues, library, boutiques, cigar bar and Internet cafe -- as Princess' larger vessels.
Island Princess, by the way, has two banks of computers on Emerald Deck, or you can buy a wireless card for your own laptop. There are lots of wonderful nooks and crannies in the public spaces of the ship, including comfortable seating at the base of a sweeping four-story atrium that serves as the centerpiece of the ship's interior.
My husband Gil and I found the food on Island Princess to be good overall -- but a bit uneven, and sometimes mediocre. The 24-hour buffet delivered a few bombs (inedible trout almondine, watery eggs scrambled with salmon, and a sliced-off-the-grill stuffed pork loin I couldn't bite through) -- but that's the nature of a lot of buffets: There are winners and losers. And frankly, there's enough of a choice that a questionable option or two isn't going to ruin your day. We stuck with the buffet's salad and fruit bars, hands-down winners. More to my surprise, some of the dinner entrees in the formal dining room trended toward bland. As for selection, however, you can't beat it. Imagine our difficulty at dinner one night having to choose between beef Wellington, broiled lobster tail and pheasant. Problem or bliss?
Here's the skinny on the ship's dining options:
First, the venues. There are two formal dining rooms, Provence and Bordeaux. Despite their seating capacity (510 and 570 seats, respectively), they are successfully designed to create intimate spaces within a larger one. The dining rooms have two seatings, usually at 6 and 8:15 p.m. For those who don't care for the traditional dining option (which means same time, same waiters, same tablemates), "Anytime Dining" is available in at least one of the dining rooms between 5:30 and 10 p.m., depending upon availability. Same-day reservations may be made by calling a "dining hotline" between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Horizon Court, the round-the-clock buffet, shares space on the Lido deck with two swimming pools, a terrific pizzeria, and, one deck above that, a hamburger and hot dog grill. There's 24-hour complimentary room service as well. (The Alaska Champagne Breakfast & Brunch for Two, which included a half bottle of French champagne, did carry a charge of $28.)
There are also two "alternative" restaurants, Sabatini's and the Bayou Cafe & Steakhouse, with nominal cover charges. Sabatini's ($20) has an impressive -- and seemingly infinite -- fixed-dinner menu with Italian and seafood favorites in a formal setting. The more casual Bayou ($15) features Cajun- and Creole-influenced foods as well as premium steaks.
Room service offers Continental breakfast only. Hot and cold selections are available for lunch and dinner; passengers in suites may also order from dining room menus.
To round it all out, there's a patisserie and ice cream bar, neither of which is complimentary.
As for those all-important three squares:
There are three choices: complimentary room service; a formal sit-down meal in the elegant Bordeaux dining room; or, as most probably experience it, the buffet-style breakfast in Horizon Court. Gil and I were typically up early, and we would hit the buffet by 6:30 a.m. -- before the rush. Overall, it was fairly pleasing. Among other offerings, there's a fruit bar, a cereal and yogurt bar, all manner of breads, and the usual suspects: eggs, bacon, ham, potatoes, pancakes and crepes. There's also a station for made-to-order omelettes.
Horizon Court is probably the crowd favorite because of its exhausting selection, but we enjoyed two other options as well on this last trip: the pizzeria, and a formal lunch in the Bordeaux dining room. Both were terrific. I marveled at the luncheon menu choices in the dining room, and thinking about them now makes me hungry. Some of the standouts included chicken gumbo, Cobb salad, poached salmon with a cucumber salad, and Irish stew. How to choose?
Given our cruise route, we indulged in a lot of Alaskan specialties during our first seating dinners in the Provence dining room: venison, halibut, turbot, grouper, salmon. The desserts were also memorable. In fact, one of our traveling mates ate nine -- count them, nine -- pieces of cheesecake during the trip. Traditional dining also includes a vegetarian menu as well as the health-focused Lotus Spa menu, which offers options like chilled yogurt and tamarind soup, filet of baby turbot with a fennel Pernod sauce and tropical fruit smoothies. I'd also give high marks to Sabatini's, the Italian specialty restaurant. We didn't eat dinner at Horizon Court, though of course it has ample offerings that include some of the same dishes served in the dining rooms as well as daily specials.
Island Princess has the highest percentage of cabins with private balconies in the entire Princess fleet -- a real advantage for viewing glaciers up close when you're in Alaska or transiting through the locks of the Panama Canal.
It's no small accomplishment, really. Eighty-three percent of outside cabins have balconies -- compared with an industry standard that's closer to 60 percent. And when we're traveling with friends and family, as we often do, it's our practice to unlock the door between adjoining cabins for companionable oceanview visiting and room-hopping.
Staterooms come in six configurations, ranging from an inside cabin of 156 square ft. to a 470-square-ft. suite. There are 20 wheelchair-accessible cabins. Most cabins are also designed to accommodate third and fourth berths, which make them family friendly. Standard inside, outside and balcony cabin bathrooms are shower-only.
Our choice: a mini-suite with balcony at roughly 300 square ft. Does size matter? Consider this: Even with 13 of us in the cabin for a pre-dinner happy hour, it still felt roomy. The mini-suite has a queen-size bed (that can be converted to two twins), a sofa and matching chair, huge closet, a safe, and a bar with nicely rounded corners that contains a mini-fridge as well as two TV's. The bathroom is also terrific, featuring a tub with shower. Upgraded bathroom amenities at the mini-suite level include Lotus Spa shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. Our mini-suite balcony had four comfortable chairs and a table.
Other special in-room amenities in the mini-suites include luxury mattresses, satin pinstripe bed linens and fluffy European-style duvets. At embarkation, there's also a glass of champagne waiting and a luggage protector on the bed. As in the regular cabins, stewards provide turn-down service and a daily bucket of ice.
The suites take service to an even higher level with luxurious towels and bathrobes, a daily delivery of deluxe canapes, Complimentary services include Internet access, dry cleaning, laundry and shoe polishing -- even a leather wallet is provided for the passenger's cruise card. Suite passengers are also treated to expedited embarkation, preferred Anytime Dining reservations and personal shore excursion reservations.
Editor's note:
There are coin-operated washing machines and dryers onboard, along with ironing boards. This takes some of the stress out of the packing challenge.
Gratuities, which are automatically charged to onboard accounts, are $11.50 per person (including children), per day, for passengers staying in standard accommodations and $12 for passengers staying in mini-suite and suites. A 15 percent gratuity is added to beverage purchases onboard, including wine at dinner. Spa and casino staff members do not share in the gratuity charges -- if you use these services, tips are advised.
Room service gratuity is not included, and we recommend that -- especially for prompt service -- you have a couple of singles handy.
Fitness and Recreation
One of the biggest things I've come to appreciate about cruising is that it doesn't necessarily have to interrupt your workout routine.
Most days, I'd walk four miles on the relatively quiet Promenade Deck (2.8 circuits equal one mile). In fact, one day we participated in "On Deck for the Cure," a 5K walk to raise money for breast cancer research. There's also a shuffleboard court, table tennis and a nine-hole golf putting course.
Island Princess has an oceanview gym with weights, elliptical machines and treadmills. Again, this is a ship that's focused on selection. Among the classes the fitness center offers: step aerobics, stretching, Pilates, spinning, yoga, circuit training, upper and lower body conditioning, and exercise aimed at "bums and tums." The Pilates, spinning and yoga classes are $10. Programming also includes seminars with titles such as "Burn Fat Faster," "Facelift in a Jar" and "Secrets to a Flatter Stomach."
Next to the fitness center is the Lotus Spa, a relaxing Asian-inspired retreat that offers a full range of body and facial treatments, steam and sauna facilities and hair salon. There's even a thermal suite, where passengers can veg out in a heated ceramic lounge while they enjoy a tropical/fog shower.
Spa services include a Tahitian scalp massage, hot stone massage, a lime and ginger "salt scrub" and rehydrating facials, among many other choices.
The fitness center and spa are located on Lido Deck, which also houses two pools and five hot tubs. One of the pools, covered by a retractable glass dome, has a swim-against-the-current feature.
Although there weren't that many children on our cruise, Island Princess is quite family friendly. On the Aloha Deck, there is a dedicated children's pool; Off Limits, a teen center and disco with special activities for passengers 13 - 17; The Fun Zone, a special refuge for the 8- to 12-year-old crowd; and Pelican's Playhouse, where youth center staff host a daily schedule of age-specific activities for those ages 2 - 7.
Programming includes what you might expect: scavenger hunts, ice cream parties and video games for the younger set, and for teens, late night movies, "pizza and mocktail" socials, and dance classes with the ship's professional dancers. During our cruise, a National Park Service ranger also gave a talk about Glacier Bay designed specifically for children.
Private babysitting is not offered, but there is late-night group babysitting available from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. for pre-booked kids ages 3 - 12.
Fellow Passengers
Island Princess' Alaska cruises, because they tend to be shorter and occur during summer, draw a younger crowd than the Panama Canal itinerary, which trends toward 60-plus. Passengers are largely American, though during our cruise, which was fully booked, 10 countries were represented.
Dress Code
Cruises of seven nights or more usually have two formal nights -- and folks do get decked out. Men typically wear a dinner jacket or dark business suit, while women tend to favor evening gowns, cocktail dresses or trouser suits. Otherwise, the recommended evening dress is smart casual -- an open-neck shirt and slacks for men and a dress, skirt ensemble or trouser suit for women. Shorts and T-shirts are not permitted in the dining rooms. Daytime, it's pretty much anything goes.
There's no lack of entertainment choices, day or night, on Island Princess. Basically, you can be as busy -- or still -- as you wish to be. On our cruise there was nothing more mesmerizing than watching a glacier calve, searching for whales or just relaxing in the glow that attends the almost ever-present daylight of Alaska summers.
The daytime programming is surprisingly robust. And for real added value, there's an enriching educational component that complements the itinerary. As an example, a naturalist delivered several presentations covering topics such as glaciers, bears, whales and volcanoes. National Park Service rangers offered compelling live commentary on Glacier Bay as we passed through it. And in a "Princess exclusive," 1985 Iditarod champion Libby Riddles shared her story about the grueling dogsled race that put her in the history books.
Movies Under the Stars (M.U.T.S.), the big-screen outdoor theater that's proven so popular with the line's newest ships, will be installed aboard Island Princess in October 2010. Passengers can enjoy movies, concerts, sporting events and other special programming throughout the day and evening.
On top of that, there's much of what we've come to expect from Princess: ice carving demonstrations; trivia challenges; afternoon movies in the Princess Theater; a cooking show and galley tour; wine tastings; art auctions; cocktail demonstrations; bingo; and dance classes. During our cruise, the Scholarship@Sea program also offered computer and ceramics instruction.
Nights, our friends-and-family crew enjoyed an array of activities: dancing in the Explorers Lounge; gambling in the Paris-themed casino; participating in a Name That Tune challenge; watching a Newlyweds and Nearly Deads contest; enjoying cognac in the cigar bar; and viewing some first-rate Vegas-style shows in the Universe Lounge and Princess Theater. There's really something for everyone, including a classical concert with a string quartet, stand-up comedy, a variety show, and, if that's not enough, a cabaret. Another treat: There are first-run movies broadcast each evening on your stateroom TV.
As for shore excursions, the selection was so vast that Gil and I didn't focus on them until we were onboard. Flightseeing? A glacier walk? Train ride through the Yukon? In the end, we signed up for a trolley tour of Skagway and, as dog lovers, enjoyed one of our favorite outings ever, a dogsled ride at the animals' summer camp in Juneau. 120 Alaskan huskies. Need I say more?
