Mohammad Shahzad was born in a refugee camp in Peshawar; now he's Afghanistan's leading batsman
Umar Farooq
February 19, 2013
Related Links
Displaced from war-torn Afghanistan at an early age, Mohammad Shahzad's life started in a refugee camp in Peshawar. An Afghan Pathan by ethnicity, he grew up watching Pakistan's national cricketers in the early '90s and playing tape-ball cricket on grubby streets near the Afghan-Pakistan border. Shahzad is a flamboyant opening batsman who loves to play his shots. He swatted back-to-back hundreds in his second and third ODIs. He also made an unbeaten double-hundred as Afghanistan chased down an improbable 494 against Canada in the 2009-10 ICC Intercontinental Cup. His philosophy of batting is an elementary and often-repeated one: "Hit the loose ball and respect the good ball." Shahzad is 25. His family are from Nangrahar, a fertile valley around Jalalabad, and were dislocated in the wake of the Soviet war and forced into a refugee camp near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, close to the Pakistan-Afghan border in Peshawar. Shahzad was born in the camp, adjusted to life in Pakistan, and took up Pakistani pursuits like playing cricket.
"I had a keen interest in cricket since the age of six or seven," he told ESPNcricinfo. "In fact, it was the only thing for the youth in those days to do - either we sleep or play cricket.
"It was everything. I slept with thoughts of cricket." So passionate was he about the game that he used to wear his keeping gloves all the time, even when he was not playing.
"I remember, I used to go with my captain in the evening every day to set up a match with random teams next to our street, and it was the most exciting moment of the day," he said. "We bet on a plastic trophy bought with the money collected from the two sides, and winning it was a great motivation at that time. After we won the trophy, we use to go street by street in a group to show people that we had won it.
Life in a refugee camp was hardly pleasant for Shahzad. "Cricket was the only thing I used to enjoy and I was terribly in love with it," he said. "I grew up watching the likes of Imran Khan and Javed Miandad on land that wasn't mine. I wished I could be a star for my country, but how could I - that was a million-dollar question for me. The scope of my life was limited, and the journey of my life with cricket was in an unknown direction."
Shahzad's parents thought he could do well outside of cricket. Not that he agreed, caught up as he was in the belief that he was the next Rashid Latif or Moin Khan, and that cricket was the centre of his existence. "I wrote 'Moin' and 'Latif' on the back of my two shirts and used to play cricket pretending I am a superstar. But my parents wanted me to study.
"I had no example of what I would be doing after studies, but in cricket I was following various Pakistani cricketers who are successful, like Imran Khan - he was famous and people talked about him.
"With my persistence, my parents let me go free, to do whatever I was doing. Now after ten years I am representing my own country. I didn't let them down. They are happy and are supporting me in every part of my life."
Shahzad started playing for Afghanistan in 2009 and hit the top level quickly, becoming an integral part of the rising team. He is currently Afghanistan's leading scorer in ODIs (743 runs from 21 matches), has the highest batting average, 37.15; the best strike rate among their frontline batsmen, 90.06; and the most hundreds (three). He has played 12 first-class matches against various Associate teams, in which he has compiled 1059 runs at 55.73, with eight half-centuries and two hundreds (including a double). Shahzad was shortlisted for the 2010 ICC Associate Player of the Year award, but lost out to Ryan ten Doeschate of Netherland.
Latif and Moin may be his childhood heroes but now his inspiration comes from the other side of the Pakistan border. He is friends with India captain MS Dhoni, and is even called MS by his team-mates, thanks partly to his initials.
"I have been following Dhoni since 2007. I met him for the first time in West Indies in 2010. He was staying on the fourth floor of the hotel and invited me to have tea in his room. It was actually an awkward moment for me - a big superstar serving me tea. I said I would help myself but he insisted and poured the tea for me, saying that he is the host and I am the guest.
"He is a great cricketer, a cool captain and a wonderful person. I always wanted to sit with him, talk to him, discuss cricket. He has talked to me about how to maintain yourself as a cricketer, how to handle the pressure. My helicopter shot is for Dhoni - to acknowledge that I am his big fan.
"I felt so good when he once introduced me to someone as a friend of his. I was flattered. His behaviour and attitude have increased my respect for him."
One of Shahzad's defining features is that he is a resolute, self-made man who has built a reputation of his own. "A lot of work has been done and work is still in progress," he said. "As far as I am concerned, I think I have developed myself into a cricketer who can play any form of cricket. I have scored ample runs in every form so far, and I'm desperate to climb up to play Test cricket."
"It was actually an awkward moment for me - Dhoni serving me tea. I said I would help myself but he insisted and poured the tea for me, saying that he is the host and I am the guest" | |||
He thinks his team is closing the gap between themselves and the Full Member teams. "We guys all have the ability to play at bigger stage. We can bowl fast, we can spin, we can bat, and the fitness level of our players is high, thanks to the rough life we spent in the refugee camps.
"But there are some limitations, as we back home are deprived of cricket facilities and are dependent on the other countries at the moment. We have made a perfect unit and we are heading in the right direction. The people of Afghanistan have accepted us; they are supporting us and want us to win, so that the world reads something good about Afghanistan. The time isn't too far from here in our journey to become the best full cricketing nation."
Shahzad is a colorful character, with an aggressive mindset. "I am an emotional guy. I can easily be provoked. It's natural, as Pathans usually listen to their heart," he said. "My coaches talk about my aggression and how to control it. They have pointed out that I should try to learn how to keep my cool. I feel offended if any bowler bowls me a bouncer. I feel like hitting him out of the park."
He recently defied Pakistan's allrounder Shahid Afridi on Afghanistan's recent Pakistan tour. In the game against a Hyderabad-Karachi team, he smacked a six off Shahid Afridi that prompted a heated exchange of words between the two. Afridi conceded 29 runs in two overs, thanks largely to Shahzad, who smacked 58 off 35 balls.
There is an impish swagger to his tone as he narrates the incident. "He said something after the six, which didn't sound good, and I asked him to repeat it. He didn't, and I hit him for a few more boundaries, and he didn't return to bowl after his two overs.
"He may be a Pakistani star but I am also a professional cricketer. If he is good with the ball, I am good with the bat. I square off everything right there in the middle."

Less is more
Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC) Director Terry Schwarz's research is focused on the design of urban systems and the ways that built environments and natural processes can be better integrated. This work is embedded in the CUDC's community design practice, which provides services to municipalities and non-profit organizations throughout northeast Ohio.
Schwarz founded the Shrinking Cities Institute in 2005 in an effort to understand and address the impacts of ongoing population loss on large-scale urban vacancy in Cleveland. After introducing the concept at a workshop in Youngstown, a one-hour PBS documentary and subsequent article about the project in Metropolis magazine served as Schwarz's debut on to both the national and international stage.
Now that the course was charted for Schwarz and the CUDC, where she was a senior planner at the time, the 20-year Cleveland resident became a recognized authority on vacancy, decline and urban regeneration. She continues to be on the short list of sought-after experts at international symposia and a ready resource for journalists from publications such as the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Schwarz also was instrumental in establishing a professional journal at the CUDC, Urban Infill. The publication has received support from the Gund Foundation, Cleveland Foundation and the Graham Foundation for Advance Studies in the Fine Arts.
Recently Schwarz prepared the Re-imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland plan in collaboration with Neighborhood Progress Inc. and Cleveland's City Planning Commission. The report was an outgrowth of an international dialogue Schwarz enabled in 2007 when she organized an exhibition on shrinking cities. That report is recognized as a national model for cities that seek to thoughtfully address the issues of vacancy and return of abandoned spaces to productive use.
Schwarz was instrumental in creating the Pop Up City initiative in Cleveland, where one-day temporary uses of land or indoor spaces reclaim space for public uses. Events have included a pop-up dog park and reclamation of a bridge deck for a one-day public event. These events put into action the concept that shrinking cities could shift the discourse from scarcity and depletion to regeneration, Schwarz says.
She is currently working with Cleveland officials and other stakeholders on a strategy for land reclamation in Cuyahoga County. She was also the recipient of a 2009 Cleveland Arts Prize for Design.
"If we don't find new ways to respond to what's happening, then we're sentencing ourselves to more decline," she said upon receiving the award. "So, when you see the challenges, particularly those faced by people in neighborhoods, really our most vulnerable and entrenched populations, that's a pretty strong motivator."
Her work has been used to guide policy efforts locally, at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other agencies. Other related research interests include sustainable infrastructure, temporary use strategies for vacant and underutilized properties, and the impacts of urban development patterns on public health. She also engages in neighborhood and campus planning, storm water management planning and green infrastructure strategies.
The Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative is a community service organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of urban places through technical design assistance, research education and advocacy. Part of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, the center supports urban revitalization through the work of a professional staff. It accomplishes its mission through technical design assistance, programs of graduate study, public programs and cooperative partnerships with non-profit organizations, governments and other universities.
The center is located at 1309 Euclid Avenue, at the leading edge of Cleveland's Playhouse Square.

With its vast array of freaky specimens that seem to belong in some haunted manor, Philadelphia's 150-year-old Mutter Museum may be the gold standard in medical museums.
But it's not alone.
Museums dedicated to niche medicine, pathology, anatomical curiosities and cultural trends keep visitors fascinated and appalled with their educational and grotesque displays.
Whether it's an oversized parasite, a diseased organ preserved in formaldehyde or a historical look at the outrageous medical practices of yore, there's bound to be an address to discover some sort of unnerving discovery even in less traveled destinations.
In honor of International Museum Day on May 18, here are the world's weirdest medical museums.
Bart's Pathology Museum, England
A university collection started in 1879, this exclusive medical oddity exhibit is part of the Queen Mary, University of London.
It's open only for special soirees and events that fill up quickly. It's even hosted a pop-up cake shop by Eat Your Heart Out bakers.
The nearly 5,000 specimens include various objects pulled from human bodies over the last 150 years -- toothbrush in the esophagus, anyone?
Also on display: the dissected body parts of assassin John Belingham among other relics dating to the 1700s.
Bart's Pathology Museum, Robin Brook Centre, West Smithfield, London; +44 20 7882 8766; open for select events at the moment
Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charité, Germany
Snippets of Germany's medical history find a home in this restored 19th-century building that houses 1,800 of the 23,000 original specimens that survived World War II bombings.
The oldest artifacts include bladder stones from the 1700s. Other curios include a 60-pound megacolon from a patient who died in 1960, an 18th-century birthing chair and various tumors alongside forms of other disease.
The museum also traces the darker side of German medicine, including how the National Socialists used science to justify their horrific actions toward race purification.
Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charité, Charitéplatz 1, Berlin; +49 30 450 536 156; Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; €7 ($9)
Choowondang Korean Medical Museum, South Korea
Opened in 2008 in a thriving medical center dating from the 1800s, this museum details the history of Korean medicine.
Items including medical chests and documents are on display, giving insight into the development of Eastern medical practices.
The adjoining clinic launched just after the Korean War broke, which was when the Yoon family moved their practice south from North Korea.
A main feature of the building is the herbal-production lab with gleaming metal drums shining through the glass walls.

Fragonard Museum, France
Originally an anatomy collection for veterinary students begun in the 1700s just outside Paris, the curiosities-filled Musée Fragonard opened to the public in 1902, closing in the 1990s for renovations that lasted until 2008.
Skeletons and anatomical displays fill the rooms, but the main event is in the cabinet of unsettling specimens.

Eat like a Mainer!
31 people, places, & dishes not to miss in 2010
- By: Kathleen Fleury
- Photography by: Russell French
Eating out in Maine these days means a whole lot more than cracking lobster shells or digging into a slice of blueberry pie. It entails dining at nationally renowned restaurants, finding dishes that feature farm-fresh Maine ingredients, and happening upon pockets of culinary genius in the least likely small towns. Here are some of our new favorites.
Served in the Pan Seafood, Street & Co.
1. Sole Francaise
2. Mussels Provencal
3. Mahogany Clams
4. Lobster Diavolo
5. Pork Saltimbocca, Primo
Primo's most popular dish — sautéed scaloppini of pork served on a bed of roast garlic mashed potato, layered with wilted garden spinach, prosciutto, and a sage, mushroom Madiera jus — is numero uno for a reason. It's comforting yet sophisticated, filling but not heavy, familiar and yet finessed. 2 South Main Street, Rockland, 207-596-0770, www.primorestaurant.com
6. Solo Bistro
The City of Ships has always boasted some tasty taverns, but this chic bistro has taken it up a notch. Chef Esau Crosby, who trained at both Street and Co. and Fore Street in Portland, serves boldly flavored fresh meats and seafood in a sleek space that holds just under fifty people. Watch for the bimonthly wine dinners, which showcase Crosby's international influences. And don't miss the Friday night jazz sessions. 128 Front Street, Bath, 207-443-3373, www.solobistro.com
7. North Creek Farm
"This is a ridiculously cool place," raves chef Brian Hill of Francine Bistro in Camden. "It's right out of a Tolkien novel." Turns out this little farmstand is a hidden gem. An international gourmet food shop that showcases fresh produce from the farm garden (as available), this small establishment around the corner from Popham also serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. year-round. It's a great sandwich spot, and the cookies are truly memorable. Whatever you do, don't miss the strawberry-wineberry pie if it's offered! 24 Sebasco Road, Phippsburg, 207-389-1341, www.northcreekfarm.org
8. Hot Suppa
In the mood for comfort food? This small neighborhood joint is a feel-good stop for breakfast and lunch, serving up decadent dishes like sausage gravy over biscuits with eggs and homefries or the much-praised corned beef hash. The chefs here also make a mean Cubano sandwich. 703 Congress Street, Portland, 207-871-5005, www.hotsuppa.com
9. BLT, Blue Spoon
Thick-cut bacon with rosemary mayo, mesclun greens, and tomato on a perfectly toasted sourdough from Standard Baking — simply divine. It's the most popular item on the menu at this neighborhood joint on Munjoy Hill, which has been a regulars' haunt for six years. (It actually ties with the open-faced chicken Asiago sandwich, consisting of a chicken breast grilled over a piece of toasted Standard sourdough with herbed mayonnaise, caramelized onions, a couple strips of bacon, and melted Asiago cheese.) "The Blue Spoon is that perfect mix of friendly neighborhood joint with delicious seasonally prepared food," says Samantha Hoyt Lindgren, of Rabelais Books, Maine's premier seller of cookbooks. "David Iovino is a wonderfully authentic chef with great instincts for comfort food, and the staff is genuinely friendly." 89 Congress Street, Portland, 207-773-1116.
10. Ebenezer's Pub
Any beer lover should know and seek out Ebenezer's, which Beer Advocate magazine has named the number one beer bar in America (and the world) the last three years in a row. Tucked on a side street near Lake Kezar Country Club in Lovell, this converted barn houses about seven hundred kinds of bottled beer and thirty-five more on tap. "You don't sip beer, you gulp beer," says brew aficionado and media critic Al Diamon, also a DownEast.com blogger. And there's a lot of gulping going on at Ebenezer's. "It's a good bar," says Diamon, "and you will have a good time there whether you want to drink Bud pounders or fifteen-dollar exotic aged beers." The food is better than your usual pub fare, from the homemade Texas-style chili to the Chimay Burger with provolone and a Stilton garlic cream cheese. For those not wanting to make the trek to the Lakes Region, there's good news: The owners just opened the Lion's Pride, a new pub in Brunswick — add it to your "Places to Watch" list. 44 Allen Road, Lovell, 207-925-3200, www.ebenezerspub.net
11. Profile: Bob Garver
If you're looking for one of the best cups of coffee in the state, Bob Garver's brew is a safe bet. The owner of Wicked Joe's Coffee, a wholesale roasting company based in Brunswick, Garver decided to explore the retail side of coffee and opened Bard Coffee last April. With Garver and partners Jeremy Pelkey and Tom Bard at the helm, Bard Coffee is quickly becoming a local favorite. Garver is the official roaster for the shop, and he has been roasting coffee for more than seventeen years. "Even as a kid, I loved pungent smells and things," says Garver. Now's he's a World Barista Championship-certified sensory judge — one of only five Americans. "But probably more than anything," says Garver, "I like the rituals of coffee, like sitting with my friends after dinner." He's captured a perfect place to do just that. 185 Middle Street, Portland, 207-899-4788, www.bardcoffee.com
12. The Corner Room
This ultra urban spot (it would fit in perfectly in Manhattan's West Village) on the corner of Exchange and Federal streets is the latest addition to chef Harding Lee Smith's dining empire. Following in the footsteps of his Grill Room and Front Room, the Corner Room is an affordable, tasty, cool to see-and-be-seen spot. With a focus on Italian food, and with no entrée over fifteen dollars, the Corner Room provides bellissimo bang for your buck. It's best to mix and match. "We ordered around the menu," reports Farmer's Table chef and owner Jeff Landry, who ate there recently. "The highlight was the Cotechino and good service. I think it is a very dynamic space, and Harding has a real good thing going." 110 Exchange Street, Portland, 207-879-4747, www.hardingleesmith.com
13.Vidalia Onion Rings, Pepperland Café
These tasty rings are worth the splurge, says food writer Kathy Gunst. "Fat, thick, and perfectly crispy with a peppery coating and a soft, sweet onion slice inside, they are served with excellent homemade ketchup or a spicy mustard aioli. Order from the extensive beer menu, and you've got yourself a great treat!" 279 Main Street, South Berwick, 207-384-5535.
14. Truffle Asiago Cheese Puffs, Hugo's
There are a lot of larger concoctions to eat at Hugo's, but these little puffs, featured in the bar snacks section of the menu, shouldn't get passed over for fancier fare. Piping hot, addictively savory, almost like a tater tot with tang, they should put Frito-Lay out of business. 88 Middle Street, Portland, 207-774-8538, www.hugos.net
15. Slates
Slates is a welcomed reincarnation of the old-time favorite that burned down in February of 2007. Known as the "Heart of Hallowell" before the fire, in part due to its presence in the town for more than thirty years, Slates is as popular as ever in its new and improved building. The food is solid — tasty, well-seasoned, and not the least bit generic. It has particularly great salads and snacks, like the warmed brie served with crusty bread. Slates is a busy, colorful place that can seat a hundred, including many Maine political figures — it remains the go-to lunch spot for Augusta's movers and shakers. 167 Water Street, Hallowell, 207-622-9575, www.slatesrestaurant.com
16. Farmers Fare
This is the perfect après-ski or snowshoe stop for a cup of soup (the kale and sausage stew is heavenly hearty), or a sweet treat, like a cookie, cupcake, or slice of cake with hot chocolate or coffee. The newly constructed barn-like food haven also offers house-prepared meals to go, from macaroni and cheese to stuffed squash to meatloaf, depending on the day. And while you're snacking, shop the selection of local meats, everything from chicken, beef, and pork to duck, quail, and even water buffalo, along with Maine dairy products and pristine produce. 3 Cross Street, Rockport, 207-236-3273, www.farmersfaremaine.com
17. Buttermilk Panna Cotta, Bresca
Dessert is to die for at Krista Desjarlais' Bresca Restaurant. The best of the best is the revered buttermilk panna cotta, made with buttermilk, cream, and vanilla, served in a passionfruit broth with a spoon of white pepper orange flower sorbet plus a seasonal touch. "It is permanently on my short list of the best things to eat in Portland," claims Anestes Fotiades, founder of PortlandFoodMap.com and arguably the most traveled diner in the city. "To make this great dessert experience even better, have it with a glass of the Coppo Moscato d'Asti Monclavina from Bresca's dessert wine list. The light floral and fruit notes and a hint of effervescence make them a good pair." 111 Middle Street, Portland, 207-772-1004, www.restaurantbresca.com
18. Truffled Lobster Mac & Cheese, 555
Here's a dish that doesn't need any explanation — shaved black truffles, lobster, cheese, and handmade pasta. Absolute perfection! 555 Congress Street, Portland, 207-761-0555, www.fivefifty-five.com
19. The Touchable, By Bartender John Myers
1 oz. B&B
1 oz. Bacardi 8-Year-Old
1/2 oz. Noilly Prat
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz Grade A amber maple syrup
Shake all ingredients over ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick. Feel your worries melt away. The Corner Room, 110 Exchange Street, Portland, 207-879-4747, www.hardingleesmith.com
20. Mashed Potato, Bacon, & Scallion Pizza, Otto Pizza
Maine's largest city has its fair share of primo pizza places, but this new hole in the wall on Congress Street has paisans talking. Farmer's Table sous chef Mike Rivera swears by this potato pie, and deems it "hands down the best pizza in Portland." Plus it's open until 2 a.m. on weekends — perfect for late-night, post-Port City Music Hall snacking. 576 Congress Street, Portland, 207-773-7099.
21. Steak Frites, Francine Bistro
Marinated overnight in mustard, olive oil, and herbs, this steak is then pan-seared in a skillet and finished off in the oven. While it's cooking, a decadent sauce is made with the steak juices, housemade chicken stock, thyme, a little mustard, diced shallots, and shaved garlic. It's served with seriously addicting fries, which are tossed with garlic oil, herbes de provence, and salt, then fried until perfectly crunchy. This is the kind of dish any carnivore will crave again and again. 55 Chestnut Street, Camden, 207-230-0083, www.francinebistro.com
22. Profile: John Ascrizzi
Mainers are passionate about their ice cream, and though a handful of stands have the distinction of being in the top tier in the state, there's one sweet operation tucked into a shop on Route 3 in Liberty that might just take the cake. John's Ice Cream Factory features more than thirty flavors such as quadruple chocolate, raspberry cream, peanut butter crunch, and chocolate coconut almond — all made from scratch by owner John Ascrizzi. Ascrizzi has been in the ice cream business for more than thirty years, previously in Florida and since 1999 in Liberty. He transitioned from using canned ingredients to fresh ones after he moved to Maine, making his ice cream supremely flavorful and often locally sourced. And the change in temperatures outside didn't faze him one bit. "I'm in the ice cream business. I'm always in the freezers, and those are much colder than it ever is outside." The stand closes for January and February (we recommend stocking up on pints beforehand), but the scoops start flying from the freezers again come March. 510 Route 3, Liberty, 207-589-3700.
23. Profile: Maynard Stanley
There's another way to eat out in Maine that doesn't entail white tablecloths and China: the omnipresent church supper/community dinner. And when Maynard Stanley is in charge, it can be some of the best food around. "When we eat out, we really eat outside," explains Stanley, who has been cooking bona fide beanhole bean suppers with his wife, Norma, for nearly four decades. (Their day job is running the pest management company Critter Catchers, based in Owls Head, but do not be dissuaded.) Stanley's suppers typically feature baked beans, pulled pork, biscuits, and blueberry crisp (his recipe won third place at the Union Fair last year) all cooked in an outdoor fire pit. Stanley's secret recipes will have you swooning for beans cooked in the ground. If you're lucky, you can catch a genuine Stanley feast next summer at the historic Conway Homestead (207-236-2257, www.crmuseum.org) in Camden. "Eating outside — what could be better? People would never tolerate something burnt inside, but if you're cooking it over an open fire, a little char — well that just adds to the flavor." Char or no char, Stanely's suppers are some of the most flavor-packed Pine Tree State meals you'll find. 207-594-2112.
24. Mussels. Fore Street
These wild raked mussels from Harspwell, while absolutely delicious, aren't the star of this signature dish at the nationally renowned Fore Street. The real appeal is the broth. A delicious concoction of butter, vermouth, garlic, and almonds, it's the perfect vehicle to consume an entire loaf of the Standard Baking Co.'s scrumptious bread — which comes on the side, of course. 288 Fore Street, Portland, 207-775-2717, www.forestreet.biz
25. 98 Provence
The flamboyant beach town of Ogunquit, with its famous playhouse, exciting nightlife, and fabulous beaches, already feels a little bit like the south of France. But step inside the quaint 98 Provence on Shore Road (open seasonally), and you'll definitely want to start parlaying Français. (You might even get the chance, since so many French Canadians frequent this spot.) "It doesn't feel like a replica of a French restaurant," says cookbook author and food writer Kathy Gunst, "but more like the real thing. It's not the place to go for the latest, greatest, or trendiest, but rather tried-and-true standards like fish stew and cassoulet." 262 Shore Road, Ogunquit, 207-646-9898, www.98provence.com
27. Spring Creek Bar-B-Q
Let's be frank: Most people visit Monson because they're on their way to Moosehead Lake (either that, or they're hiking the Appalachian Trail). But it's high time foodies make Monson a destination of its own. That's because you'll want to eat multiple meals at what is arguably the best BBQ joint in the state. "I was very impressed with the products," says barbecue expert Dennis Sherman, owner of DennyMike's 'Cue Stuff in York. "The food is well made with love by people who care about BBQ. Plus, they have a good variety, and their food is fresh and very authentic." Owner and pitmaster Mike Witham honed his skills in Texas before landing in Monson in 1999. He does all the smoking in his outdoor cookhouse. Pulled pork with tart pickles and crisp onions soaks through soft rolls. Ribs served in aluminum foil are perfectly messy, delectable, and tender. Sides of macaroni salad, Texas toast, and slaw abound. Just make sure to save room for Kim Witham's killer desserts. 26 Greenville Road, Monson, 207-997-7025.
28. Profile: Lisa Turner
Lisa Turner might not be a chef, but she deserves a lot of credit for how good the food tastes coming out of Maine's top kitchens. Turner's Laughing Stock Farm in Freeport provides delicious heirloom tomatoes, baby carrots, hakurei turnips, broccoli rabe, and more to many of Maine's best restaurants. Along with growing produce specifically for restaurants, Turner also has about eighty people enrolled in the farm's CSA. A former civil engineer who designed landfills, Turner views her job — which she has been enjoying for more than a dozen years — as bringing better tasting food to the proverbial tables of Maine. " tastes better, and that's the point," says Turner. "That's why we like the restaurants. We're looking out for each other, and making what we both do better." 79 Wardtown Road, Freeport, 207-865-3743, www.laughingstockfarm.com
29. The Boathouse Restaurant & Raw Bar
The Boathouse boasts one of the best restaurant views in Maine — Rockland Harbor, the breakwater lighthouse, and Owls Head. This indoor/outdoor spot is just fancy enough to host an important lunch meeting and just relaxed enough to enjoy some finger-lickingly good fried clams. The food is simple seafood — the shrimp cocktail, oysters, or mussels are a nice way to start. The fried shrimp and fried haddock make a filling main meal. Also, with impeccable water views from inside the cozy dining room, the Boathouse is as well-situated to take in a snow squall as it is a sparkling summer day. 58 Ocean Street, Rockland, 207-596-0600.
30. Corned Beef Hash, The Purple Cow
If you're ravenously hungry, this hash is for you. A special homemade recipe — with potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and corned beef — this breakfast favorite has been on the menu for all nineteen years the restaurant has been open. It comes in two sizes with varying accompaniments. 6 U.S. Route 201, Fairfield, 207-453-1371, www.purplecowmaine.com
31. Analysis: Portland's Dining Scene
There's no question about it: Portland is now one of the nation's hottest culinary destinations. It seems that every publication — from Saveur to Bon Appetit to the New York Times — has recently discovered Maine's dining capital. The truth is, however, that the Forest City has a long history of good food. The story none of these publications has yet told is how a competent culinary city became something exceptional. How, in other words, did Portland become Portland?
The answer lies in a remarkable convergence of available local food, an influx of discerning diners, and a new wave talented chefs — a perfect culinary storm that has swept over Maine in the past two decades.
Food has always been an essential industry in the Pine Tree State. We're known for our abundant seafood — lobster, clams, shrimp, mussels, scallops, oysters, fish. And farming remains a way of life for many Mainers. Even the state's largest city, Portland, has hosted a farmers' market of one form or another since 1790: "That big vibrant farmers' market has been a really important part of this long conversation," says Russell Libby, executive director of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) "It's one of the oldest-running continuous farmers' markets in the country."
Maine's focus on quality food production — from local cheeses to organic meat to year-round produce — has been on the upswing since the seventies, when a wave of back to the landers migrated to Maine. Since then, the number of people choosing to farm in Maine — especially organically — has grown substantially. "In 1990, there were maybe sixty organic farms," says Libby, whose organization is the oldest and largest of its kind in the country. "Now there are four hundred."
Contemporaneous with the rise in small farms, Portland began experiencing changes in its restaurant culture. The city never lacked for eateries before landing recently on the national food map — plenty of family owned favorites existed in the 1960s and '70s. But "there were fewer choices, less high-end restaurants, and hardly any ethnic places," says Mary Paine, owner of the Pepperclub and the Good Egg, and sister to one of Portland's most revered early restaurateurs: the late James Ledue, who founded Alberta's, the original Good Egg, and Bella Bella. Cheryl Lewis, co-owner of El Rayo Taqueria agrees: "The food scene was a lot more limited then. I'm not saying that it wasn't good, it just wasn't as developed."
It was in the mid eighties that the modern day restaurant renaissance in Portland was truly born. Restaurateurs like Lewis and partner Norine Kotts, and the late Ledue began opening more sophisticated places, Café Always and Alberta's, respectively, that brought cutting-edge culinary trends from around the country and the world to Portland. And, most importantly, these businesses were profitable. "Portland had a great artist community, and a lot of people who were interested in ," says Lewis. "So we had a good customer base because were hungry for that level of food."
Word got out. "In 1988 I read that Portland had more restaurants per capita than the rest of the United States except for possibly San Francisco," says Dana Street, the owner of Street and Co. and Fore Street. "When I first came up here, there were some neat little restaurants, there just weren't really very many of them. But there were a lot of pizza and counter places." Street opened Street and Co. on Wharf Street in 1989, one year after the opening of the ground-breaking Back Bay Grill. Street's restaurant was a revolutionary business for Portland, capitalizing on the fresh seafood but preparing it in ways that Mainers hadn't seen before. Street says he chose Portland because of its dynamic fishing industry and the city's "livability" factor. The restaurant started making money in two months. Each of its twenty years has been more successful than the last.
Street in part credits the success to a second migration — the professionals, doctors, lawyers, and bankers who began coming to Maine from more urban areas in the late eighties for the quality of life the state offered. They filled out the suburbs of Portland, but had the time, money, and inclination to frequent the then-burgeoning contingent of fine dining restaurants on the peninsula — and they have never stopped coming.
That influx of monied diners helped fuel the boom that has powered the growing dining scene from the mid nineties through the present day. Sam Hayward's Fore Street opened its doors in 1996 and was an instant success. Then Rob Evans came to Hugo's, bringing his French Laundry sensibility with him. Steve Corry opened 555 in 2003. Many other chefs followed, some with extensive national credentials. And in turn, these chefs began training sous chefs who went on to open their own restaurants: Erik Desjarlais of Evangeline, Abby Harmon of Caiola's, and Harding Smith of the Front Room, Grill Room, and Corner Room, among them.
Maine's influx of international immigrants has also greatly enhanced Portland's restaurant scene over the past twenty years. "We can't ignore that factor," says Mary Paine, who cites the restaurant Hu Shang as a memorable pioneer. "They're real immigrants, people who are moving in and opening these great places. Now we even have quite a few African restaurants." Masa Miyake's stellar sushi, Fabiana de Savino and Enrico Barbiero's perfect pasta — these are just some of the delicious ways that immigrants have augmented the culinary offerings of an increasingly diverse city.
Ultimately, the character of southern Maine itself played a dining role. Speaking of Portland's appeal in the seventies, Fore Street's Sam Hayward says, "Portland was a compromise between living in the country on an organic farm and being in a center of culture with music and theater and events." Today, the city still manages to strike that balance. It remains small and ideally situated for easy access to small farms and fish wharves. But there are also jobs here, cultural events, a vibrant arts, print media, and blogosphere, and other cosmopolitan characteristics that attract enough affluent (or at least semi-affluent) gourmets to patronize the local restaurants, even during the depths of winter.
So although it may appear that Portland achieved its current fame suddenly, its position has been a long time in the making. With several ambitious new restaurants in the works, more famous food writers making pilgrimages to the city, and increasingly talented chefs — and farmers — choosing to make Maine their home base, the city is poised to retain its culinary crown.
For our part, we can't wait for the next course.

Dewey Decimal Classification
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system first published by Melvil Dewey in 1876.[1] It has been revised and expanded through 23 major editions, the latest issued in 2011.[2] The classification was notable in its time because it introduced the concepts of relative location and relative index.[3] It makes use of three-digit Arabic numerals for main classes, with decimals as expansions for more detail.
A library assigns a Dewey Decimal number that unambiguously locates a particular volume in a position relative to other books in the library. This makes it easy to find any particular book and return it to its proper place on the library shelves.[4] The system is used in 200,000 libraries in at least 135 countries.[5][6]
Early development (1873–1885)[edit]
Dewey developed the ideas for his library classification system in 1873 while working at Amherst College library. He applied the classification to the books in that library, until in 1876 he had a first version of the classification. In 1876 he published the classification in pamphlet form with the title A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library.[7] He used the pamphlet, published in more than one version during the year, to solicit comments from other librarians. His classification system was mentioned in an article in the first issue of the Library Journal and in an article by Dewey in the Department of Education publication "Public Libraries in America" in 1876.[8]
Dewey applied for and received copyright on the first edition in March 1876.[9]
The second edition was published in 1885, with the title Decimal Classification and Relativ Index for arranging, cataloging, and indexing public and private libraries and for pamflets, clippings, notes, scrap books, index rerums, etc. (Note that the title makes use of Dewey's "reformed spelling" in some areas.) Editions 3-14, published between 1888 and 1942, used a variant of this same title.
Dewey modified and expanded his system considerably for the second edition. In an introduction to that edition Dewey states that "nearly 100 persons hav [sic] contributed criticisms and suggestions ..."[10] The first edition was 44 pages in length, with 2,000 index entries, and was printed in 200 copies. The second was 314 pages, with 10,000 index entries; 500 copies were produced.[11]
Period of adoption (1885–1942)[edit]
One of the innovations of the Dewey Decimal system was that of positioning books on the shelves in relation to other books on similar topics. At the time the system was introduced, most libraries in the US used fixed positioning: each book was assigned a permanent shelf position based on height and date of acquisition. Library stacks were generally closed to all but the most privileged patrons, so shelf browsing was not considered of importance. The use of the Dewey Decimal system increased as librarians were convinced of the advantages of relative positioning.[12]
New editions were readied as supplies of previously published editions were exhausted, even though some editions provided little change from the previous, as they were primarily needed to fulfill demand.[13] In the next decade, three editions followed closely on: the 3rd (1888), 4th (1891), and 5th (1894). Editions 6 through 11 were published from 1899 to 1922. The 6th edition was published in a record 7,600 copies, although subsequent editions were much lower. During this time, the size of the volume grew, and edition 12 swelled to 1243 pages, an increase of 25% over the previous edition.[14]
In response to the needs of smaller libraries who were finding the expanded classification schedules difficult to use, in 1894 the first abridged edition of the Dewey Decimal system was produced.[12] The abridged edition generally paralleled the full edition, and has been developed for most full editions since that date. By popular request, in 1930 the Library of Congress began to print Dewey Classification numbers on nearly all of its cards, thus making the system immediately available to all libraries making use of the Library of Congress card sets.[15]
Dewey's was not the only library classification available, although it was the most complete. Charles Ammi Cutter's Expansive Classification was its chief rival, but Cutter's classification was not as fully developed as Dewey's.
During this time, Dewey Decimal Classification got its first international attention. The International Institute of Bibliography, led by Paul Otlet, contacted Dewey about the possibility of using his system for bibliographies (as opposed to its use for books in libraries). This would require some changes to the classification, which was under copyright. Dewey gave permission for the creation of a version intended for bibliographies, and also for its translation into French. This version of the classification eventually became the Universal Decimal Classification, still in use today.[16]
According to a study done in 1927, the Dewey system was used in the US in approximately 96% of responding public libraries and 89% of the college libraries.[17] By the 14th edition in 1942, the Dewey Decimal Classification index was over 1,900 pages in length and was published in two volumes.[18]
Forging an identity[edit]
With the deaths of Melvil Dewey, May Seymour, and Dorcas Fellows, the Dewey system had lost the people who had worked on it most closely from its early days. Administration of the classification was under the Decimal Classification Committee of the Lake Placid Club Education Foundation, and the editorial body was the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee with participation of the American Library Association, Library of Congress, and Forest Press.[15]
The growth of the classification to date had brought on significant criticism from medium and large libraries who were too large to use the abridged edition but found the full classification overwhelming. It had been Dewey's intention for the classification to be issued in three editions: the library edition, which would be the fullest edition; the bibliographic edition, in English and French, which was to be used for the organization of bibliographies rather than books on the shelf; and the abridged edition.[19] In 1933, the bibliographic edition had become the Universal Decimal Classification, which left the library and abridged versions as the formal Dewey Decimal Classification editions. The 15th edition, edited by Milton Ferguson, implemented the growing concept of the "standard edition," designed for the majority of general libraries but not attempting to satisfy the needs of the very largest or of special libraries.[20] It also reduced the size of the Dewey system by over half, from 1,900 to 700 pages, a revision so radical that Ferguson was removed from the editorship for the next edition. The 16th and 17th editions, under the editorship of the Library of Congress, grew again to two volumes. However, by now the Dewey Decimal system had established itself as a classification for general libraries, with the Library of Congress Classification having gained acceptance for large research libraries.[21]
The first electronic version of Dewey was created in 1993. Although hard copy editions continue to be issued at intervals, the online WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey are updated continuously.
The Dewey Decimal Classification organizes library materials by discipline or field of study. Main divisions include philosophy, social sciences, science, technology, and history. The scheme is made up of ten classes, each divided into ten divisions, each having ten sections. The system's notation uses Arabic numbers, with three whole numbers making up the main classes and sub-classes and decimals creating further divisions. The classification structure is hierarchical and the notation follows the same hierarchy. Libraries not needing the full level of detail of the classification can trim right-most decimal digits from the class number to obtain a more general classification.[22] For example:
- 500 Natural sciences and mathematics
- 510 Mathematics
- 516 Geometry
- 516.3 Analytic geometries
- 516.37 Metric differential geometries
- 516.375 Finsler Geometry
- 516.37 Metric differential geometries
- 516.3 Analytic geometries
- 516 Geometry
- 510 Mathematics
The classification also uses some aspects of a faceted classification scheme, combining elements from different parts of the structure, to construct a number representing the subject content (often combining two subject elements with linking numbers and geographical and temporal elements) and the form of an item, rather than drawing upon a list containing each class and its meaning. For example, 330 for economics + .9 for geographic treatment + .04 for Europe = 330.94 European economy; 973 for United States + .05 form division for periodicals = 973.05 periodicals concerning the United States generally. These are referred to in system as "mnemonics." [23]
The Dewey Decimal Classification has a number for all subjects, including fiction, although many libraries create a separate fiction section shelved by alphabetical order of the author's surname. Each assigned number consists of two parts: a class number (from the Dewey system) and a book number, which "prevents confusion of different books on the same subject." [7] The most common book number system used in US libraries today is the one invented by Charles Ammi Cutter which was originally invented as part of his Cutter Expansive Classification. [24]
Modern versions of the system are increasingly faceted, which means that to assign class numbers to items, one must make use of both the schedules and the set of tables that enumerate additions to the class numbers, such as form facets, geographic subdivisions and others. In addition to these, most libraries also assign a Cutter number that represents the author and distinguishes the book from other books on the same topic. [25]

Relativ Index[edit]
The "Relativ Index" [sic] was an alphabetical index to the classification, for use both by classifiers but also by library users when seeking books by topic. The index was "relative" because the index entries pointed to the class numbers, not to the page numbers of the printed classification schedule. In this way, the Dewey Decimal Classification itself had the same relative positioning as the library shelf and could be used either as an entry point to the classification, by catalogers, or as an index to the Dewey-classed library itself.[27]
Dewey Decimal Classification numbers formed the basis of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), which combines the basic Dewey numbers with selected punctuation marks (comma, colon, parentheses, etc.). Adaptations of the system for specific regions outside the English-speaking world include the Korean Decimal Classification, the New Classification Scheme for Chinese Libraries, and the Nippon Decimal Classification (Japanese).[28][29]
Administration and publication[edit]
Administratively, the very early editions were managed by Dewey and a small editorial staff. Beginning in 1922, administrative affairs were managed by the Lake Placid Club Educational Foundation, a not-for-profit founded by Melvil Dewey. The American Library Association (ALA) created a Special Advisory Committee on the Decimal Classification as part of the Cataloging and Classification division of ALA, in 1952. The previous Decimal Classification Committee was changed to the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee, with participation of the American Library Association Division of Cataloging and Classification, and the Library of Congress.[30]
Melvil Dewey edited the first three editions of the classification system and oversaw the revisions of all editions until his death in 1931. May Seymour became editor in 1891, until her death in 1921. She was followed by Dorcas Fellows, who was editor until her death in 1938. Constantin J. Mazney edited the 14th edition. Milton Ferguson was editor from 1949 to 1951. The 16th edition in 1958 was edited under an agreement between the Library of Congress and Forest Press, with David Haykin as director.[15] Editions 16-19 were edited by Benjamin A. Custer; edition 20 by John P. Comaromi. Joan Mitchell was editor until 2013, covering editions 21-23.[31] The current Editor-in-Chief is Michael Panzer of OCLC.[32]
Copyright in editions 1-6 (1876–1919) was held by Dewey himself. Editions 7-10 were held by the publisher, The Library Bureau.[33] On the death of May Seymour, Dewey conveyed the "copyryts and control of all editions" to the Lake Placid Club Educational Foundation, a non-profit chartered in 1922.[34] The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) of Dublin, Ohio, United States, acquired the trademark and copyrights associated with the Dewey Decimal Classification system when it bought Forest Press in 1988. In 2003 Dewey came to national attention when OCLC sued the Library Hotel for trademark infringement.[35] The case was settled shortly thereafter.[36]
Currently OCLC maintains the classification system and publishes new editions of the system. The editorial staff responsible for updates is based partly at the Library of Congress and partly at OCLC. Their work is reviewed by the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee, which is a ten-member international board that meets twice each year. The four-volume unabridged edition is published approximately every six years, the most recent edition (DDC 23) in mid-2011.[2] The web edition is updated on an ongoing basis, with changes announced each month.[37] An experimental version of Dewey in RDF is available at dewey.info.[38] This includes access to the top three levels of the classification system in 14 languages.[39]
In addition to the full version, a single volume abridged edition designed for libraries with 20,000 titles or fewer has been made available since 1895. "Abridged 15" was published in early 2012.[40]

"This disc brings the first CD and surround release of the quadrophonic work for analog tape "4 Butterflies", and Subotnick's live remix/recomposition of the classic tape piece "Until Spring as Until Spring: Revisited".
"Until Spring" was first conceived in 1975 on the Buchla synthesizer using only analog techniques. "It was about 10 years from "Silver Apples" to "Until Spring"," Subotnick explains, "and I'd evolved a whole concept and a technique, but I had gone as far as I could go with it. I could do everything I wanted to do, but I couldn't do it in real time." As computers and software developed in the coming decades, Subotnick created a software-based instrument that he felt could allow him to complete his original vision, which led to "Until Spring: Revisited", a reinterpretation constructed around source materials from "Until Spring", recorded live in San Francisco. The work has been performed many times by the ensemble of Morton Subotnick (live electronics), Miguel Frasconi (live electronics and glass harp), and stunning live improvisational visual accompaniment by Sue Costabile (SUE-C) [the latter on DVD only].
"Four Butterflies" was originally released as a stereo LP on Columbia Records. This is its first release on CD. Mode has made a high-resolution transfer from the analog master tapes, newly remixed by the composer. Set in four sections separated by two interludes, "Four Butterflies" is a floating, mysterious electronic landscape. On DVD, two sections are accompanied by films created by artist Mario Castillo, which were projected during live performances during the period of the premiere. These films have not been seen since that time and have been newly transferred for this release. Also, one movement is accompanied with Subotnick's original video experiments, never publicly screened before.
Morton Subotnick
Morton Subotnick is one of the United States' premier composers of electronic music and an innovator in works involving instruments and other media, including interactive computer music systems. Most of his music calls for a computer part, or live electronic processing; his oeuvre utilizes many of the important technological breakthroughs in the history of the genre.
The work, which brought Subotnick celebrity, was "Silver Apples of the Moon". Written in 1967 using the Buchla modular synthesizer, this work contains synthesized tone colours striking for its day, and a control over pitch that many other contemporary electronic composers had relinquished. There is a rich counterpoint of gestures, in marked contrast to the simple surfaces of much contemporary electronic music. The exciting, exotic timbres and the dance-inspiring rhythms caught the ear of the public -- the record was an American bestseller in the classical music category, an extremely unusual occurrence for any contemporary concert music at the time.
The next eight years saw the production of several more important compositions for LP, realized on the Buchla synthesizer: "The Wild Bull", "Touch", "Sidewinder" and "Four Butterflies". All of these pieces are marked by sophisticated timbres, contrapuntally rich textures, and sections of continuous pulse suggesting dance. In fact, "Silver Apples of the Moon" was used as dance music by several companies including the Stuttgart Ballet and Ballet Rambert and "The Wild Bull", and later works, including "A Sky of Cloudless Sulfur" and "The Key to Songs", have been choreographed by leading dance companies throughout the world.
In addition to music in the electronic medium, Subotnick has written for symphony orchestra (including "Before the Butterfly" a bi-centennial commission for the NY Phil, La Phil, Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra), chamber ensembles, theater and multimedia productions. His "staged tone poem" The Double Life of was premiered at the 1984 Olympics Arts Festival in Los Angeles.
"Jacob's Room", Subotnick's multimedia opera, received its premiere in Philadelphia in April 1993 at The American Music Theater Festival. "The Key to Songs", for chamber orchestra and computer (1985), "Return", commissioned to celebrate the return of Halley's Comet, premiered with an accompanying sky show in the planetarium of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles in 1986.
His 3 CDROMS: "All My Hummingbirds Have Alibis" (1994), "Making Music" (1996), "Making More Music" (1998), an interactive 'Media Poem', "Intimate Immensity", premiered at the Lincoln Center Festival in NY (1997) and "Echoes from the Silent Call of Girona" (1998). "Gestures: for DVD surround sound and DVD ROM will be released on Mode Records in the spring of 2001. "Making Music" has now sold over 400,000 copies and is in 12 languages. In addition, his website for children, creatingmusic.com, is now online.
He also produced a series of concerts and events (1990-1997) where performers interacted musically in three cities simultaneously.
Subotnick holds the Mel Powell Chair in composition at the California Institute of the Arts. He tours extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe as a lecturer and composer/performer. He is published by European-American."-Mode Records

Princeton chief issues scam alert
PRINCETON — 'Tis the season for holiday giving, but unfortunately it's always the season for scams.
Harold Bloch of Princeton said he may be 94 years old, but he's not stupid. When he received a "check" in November for $4,685 from the United Global Logistics Inc. saying he was a second-prize winner in the USA Mega sweepstakes, he knew it was a scam. Before he could receive his $255,000 prize, Bloch would first have to send the company a check for $3,850.
Bloch didn't fall for the scam. Instead, he went to the Bureau County State's Attorney's office and then to his bank, where the scam was confirmed. Bloch's advice to others? Don't do anything without checking it out first.

The 442nd
Two of the past three years I've written a diary on the Day of Remembrance. I grew up in the area in and around San Jose, California so I'm familiar with its history. Last year, I wrote a diary about the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. On November 6th, the remaining members of the 442nd received the Congressional Gold Medal.

The 4-string Shredneck Bassneck features a rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays, and comes with thumb rest wings and a recessed finger-picking route between the 7th fret and nut. Includes a gig bag.
The Shredneck is a small, portable practice tool that provides the feel of a guitar, strings and frets. The headstock doubles as the body to provide a "balanced" feel.
Allows guitar players to warm up anytime a guitar is not convenient—in a car, train, plane, at the office, before gigs, between sets, watching TV or in anticipation of playing guitar. Use the Shredneck to work on scales, patterns and techniques, practice chord fingerings and movements along with building and maintaining calluses. It is modeled after the first seven frets of a standard electric guitar and for acoustic players.
While the Shredneck is strung for right-handed guitarists, it can be easily converted for left-handed players.

The former head of Swain County's Department of Social Services won't be getting her job back, members of the county's DSS board decided in a called meeting on Monday.
The board had dismissed Cagle following a hearing last month, but she launched an appeal attempting to be reinstalled in the position.
The appeal triggered a second hearing before the board, where Cagle was allowed to plead her case again in closed session.
Now that the board has again voted to uphold her dismissal, Cagle has one final recourse, to appeal to the N.C. Office of State Personnel.
She was dismissed in the wake of a scandal sparked by the death of 15-month-old Aubrey Littlejohn who died in January. The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating an alleged cover-up at the agency. A social worker claimed he had been directed by superiors to falsify records following the baby's death.
However, Cagle was fired for reasons unrelated to that case. Reasons cited were insubordination and "conduct unbecoming of a state employee."
Interim Director Jerry Smith, who came to the job from Brevard, will stay until a permanent replacement is found.
