Categories Comments Campus Safety We have public safety and California Police offers on campus just one click or call away! Not a dangerous campus at all!
Clubs and Activities Sailing Crew Cross-country Rugby Basketball Christian Club and many more!
Great for these types of students Cal Maritime is very diverse!
What to do for fun Go out with friends! I like to go skydiving on weekends. Our school offers new movies for free! Every Thursdays our school shows a brand new movie to keep the students entertained. The school does offer sailing!
Food and Dining Just like a buffet everyday! You will have a chance to eat three times a day, but after hours you can go to Morrow Cove. Morrow Cove is a small shop that sells drinks, sandwiches, and salads.
Dorm Life The dorms are just like every other college. However, this school does offer 24-hour quite hours for those who prefer silence. These are CO-ed buildings, which means you will share the same halls, but not bathrooms.
Academic Rigor Majors: Global Studies and Maritime Affairs International Business and logistics Marine Transportation Facilities Engineering Mechanical Engineering
Tips for prospective students Come in with a closed mind, but an open heart. Adjust to the military uniform standards, remembering you are here for a college education and not fun.
In three sentences This is a great school with knowledgeable professors, who give their all in order for you to understand your major. It a school that offers specialized majors that will give you a cutting edge knowledge that others will never get. Cal Maritime Academy has one of the highest job placement out of all the CSU(s).

Categories Comments Campus Safety Interesting you should ask. While there is a Campus Security department, there main function is patrolling for parking violations, and investigating noise complaints. Students are expected to stand watch at the gate, and on the quarterdeck of the Golden Bear (The ship) The Campus is literally for the students by the students, and shirking the obligation will get you in big trouble. The campus is not located in the safest part of town, and leaving campus after dark is not recommended. However the campus itself is considered very safe, due in no small part to the gate and the uniformed present that watches it.
Greek Life Nope.
Clubs and Activities Depends on the time of year and interest of the students.
Great for these types of students Students interested interested in the Maritime industry, especially those who liked the Boy Scouts, and have knack for math science, and craftsmanship. Oddballs.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus As part of the training cruises, students may participate in the Neptune Games.
Bang for the buck There is cruise to foreign ports of call as part of the curriculum, which is not covered by tuition.
What to do for fun There are very few activities on campus, and even fewer around campus. While there are clubs, and events, many are dependent on participation, which is dependent on the student's course work and Corps. Of Cadets obligations. Most social circles organize their own events for this reason. Even so there is a weekly movie night, and recreational trips off campus on most weekends. More enterprising students can put together a crew and rent a boat from the school and take it out for a spin. There is also a ferry into San Fransisco that leaves from the local marina. That said most people take advantage of the high speed Internet for day-to-day entertainment.
Food and Dining This is arguably one of the worst features of the California Maritime Academy, the food on campus is awful in every conceivable way. Most students don't leave the cafeteria without visiting the restroom. However you will find yourself eating several helping because you will be hungry again soon after leaving the cafeteria (Which BTW, is only open for a few hour during the morning, afternoon and evening.) After you finish eating you will find a literal puddle of yellow grease on your plate. Fortunately CMA has an excellent baker who makes the deserts. For those who can afford it, there is the Morrow Cove Cafe, which is Sandwich shop during the afternoon (which will accept your meal card) and a pizza shop at night (which accepts money or flex points.) Otherwise there are vending machines. Those are your only dinning choices on campus. By the way the only cooking implements allowed in the dorms are microwaves, and coffee machines (Even so, fires are not infrequent, fortunately most students are trained in firefighting at some point). Off campus, there are a couple Pizza restaurants that will deliver to campus. The usual fast food restaurants are available too. For those with a bigger budget, and car available, the nearby Marina host some upscale restaurants. (It is difficult for freshmen to get parking passes by the way, parking outside the gate is not recommended.)
Dorm Life There are three Dormitory built on a hill that overlooks the campus, and The waterfront. Each building is higher up the hill than the last. Happy climbing. The actual dorm rooms are spartan single dual-occupancy units organized by floor. The bathrooms are common and serve about 8 people. Two of the three building have common recreation rooms which are also rather spartan. One building has Fussball, Ping Pong, and Billiards, the other rooms have couches. Both have cable television. The dorm rooms also have cable television and high speed Internet connections. There are generally no dorm wide activities planned. Most students plan activities amongst themselves within their own social circles, which does not necessarily correspond to living arrangements.
Academic Rigor The program is designed to be completed in 4 years. To achieve this you will need to take 4-6 classes each semester. The program stresses mathematics and science, especially engineering courses. There are also more practical courses such as welding, machining, knot tying, and Radar, and shipboard medical. Your course work is specialized and will feel like masters degree workload at times. Take advantage of the excellent tutoring center services.
Tips for prospective students Research the maritime industry thoroughly before you apply. The school has a very high attrition rate and a very low morale on campus. If you are there for anything besides breaking into a Maritime field, you are in for a very tough time. However those that are committed to life on the seas have very good opportunities upon graduation, and the California Maritime Academy has good reputation and a niche in the maritime market. You should also think twice you suffer from motion sickness, are colorblind, or have any other medical or sensory condition that requires frequent treatment or special equipment, as you will need to pass licensing exam in addition to graduating.
In three sentences Abandon hope all ye who enter: You will not get the typical college experience at the California Maritime Academy, the average cadet (student) takes about 15-18 units per semester (that is about 5-6 classes), So there won't be much time for partying, but you will be done in 4 years if all goes according to plan. The flogging will continue until moral improves: The Corps. Of Cadets is a pseudo-military student organization that runs the campus. In the name of unity and Esprit de Corps. You are expected to participate in Corps activities (morning formation, evening watch standing, mandatory meetings, etc..) and follow their rules and standards regarding dressing and grooming, or suffer demerits, and other non-specific retaliation. Yes the rum gone: The Maritime Academy is dry campus. (you will also have to submit to random drug tests) Party at your own peril.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The campus has the normal sports facilities that you would find on any college campus but soon there will also be a brand new aquatic sports center. There are also technology and engine shops that students have used for extra-curricular uses or simply because they enjoy using them.
Food and Dining I've been told by students who have already attending that there is a variety to the food compared to other colleges and there is currently another dining hall being built on campus.
Dorm Life During a tour, I was shown the freshman residence hall which had a lot of different activities available. Aside from what students could do in their own rooms, there were TVs, pool tables, Foosball tables and more for students to do in between classes.
Academic Rigor I will be attending as an engineering student and I find it interesting that my classes do vary, ranging from chemistry to welding lab. I even have courses that will take place on the training ship so I won't necessarily be in the same buildings every day.
Tips for prospective students Don't think that just because it's a maritime academy, that you have to go to sea. I have talked to alumni who have worked for companies such as GE, Chevron and many other huge industries. Many of these alumni were also engineering students so these options are available to everyone.
In three sentences I think the school deserves at least a nine for two main reasons. One being that the campus is beautiful and enjoyable, especially considering it is right on the water but also close to other cities such as San Francisco. The other reason is that from what I have heard from other students, the courses and opportunities that the students work hard in classes and on ships but also enjoy the work itself.

My prediction: This is going to be a big year for TV. But not because the last episode of "Lost" airs next month. Or because yet another season of "American Idol" is one of this year's highest rated shows.
What's changing is how we watch TV. Hulu.com, which offers a ton of recently aired TV shows, is a mainstream hit. There are trials by Time Warner Cable offering subscribers access to some cable TV shows on the Web. Dish announced something similar (read: "Coming soon: Dish to let users watch TV online").
Cable TV companies are losing subscribers. Online video sites, which allow users to pick and choose what they want to watch, are gaining viewers. And for the first time last fall, a major cable provider took its fight against the ever-increasing fees paid to networks to rebroadcast shows public. Something has got to give!
While the state of paid TV is undergoing a monumental change, several services are already available to help consumers pay for only what they want to watch. Now, there's probably more than 10 suggestions on how to watch web TV on a TV, but you get the picture.
While you can hook up a computer to your PC (a la Windows Media Center or some other DIY software), I've tracked down some newer alternatives to pipe TV shows from the Web to your big screen TV. I've listed some below, but I'm sure every reader has his or her own favorites. Please share with the rest of us in the comments and if I'm able, I'll elevate them to the list below.

This was originally posted on my blog but I thought it would make a good story to start things off with!
About a year ago I lost my car key. I'd done the school run and parked back at the house before catching the train to London. I'm sure that I went in and left the key in the kitchen but the next day we couldn't find it anywhere. We asked Ben if he had seen it and he replied "It's in Diesel's (the cat) house". When asked where that was he replied "Very far away". It hasn't been seen since and we still don't know if I lost it in London that day or if Ben hid it. Since then I've been using the spare one.
Until Saturday when we were just about to go out and once again there was no sign of it. At least this time we knew it had to be in the house as we hadn't been anywhere. We searched high and low for over an hour but still couldn't find it. Ben said he had picked it up and he had put it back down but he insisted that he hadn't hid it. We searched all his usual hiding places, looked in cupboards, down the back of radiators, everywhere without luck. Eventually I found the plastic key that came with the proper keys when I bought the car and to my relief not only did it open the doors it started the engine as well. This was ok for a temporary solution but I was worried it would snap so had to use it very gingerly!
Back at the house we were sitting watching TV while Lissi was putting things in the oven for tea. Suddenly there was a shout and Lissi came running in holding the car key aloft. It had been inside the oven gloves – hmmm I wonder how it got there!

You rightly pointed me in the direction of Lone Star in terms of quality, with clearly a star in the making in James Wolk, but sadly, it was a victim of the wrong network (Fox) for a show that probably was meant for cable, so it died an early death.

July 6, 2010 — Did you know last Thursday, July 1 marked the two-year anniversary of California's hand-free law, and according to the California Highway Patrol statistics far too many motorists "are still not dialed-in to the rules and are either being cited for it or becoming a grim statistic."
CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said in a recent press release he thinks that many motorists may have been used to driving and using a cell phone at the same time before the July 2008 law went into effect. We would like to say that may be a factor, but since 2008 more drivers who think they depend on cell phones are also on the roads. Cell phones are not just for making call anymore but for text messaging, looking at social networking sites and surfing the Internet. Cell phones are part of many peoples moment-to-moment existence and consume so much attention that cell phones usage is becoming an addicting habit.
June 29, 2010 — In today's paper, the reader will find a full report of activities and projects of the Lassen County Juvenile Justice Commission over the course of the last six years.
The editorial staff of the paper is pleased that the commission, which has been diligently doing its job over the years has decided to print its findings for the public to see in black and white what we have been hearing — juvenile delinquency filings for the past 10 years "reflect an unmistakable downward trend."

Protect your strands from sun, surf, sand, and humidity with this all-purpose guide to warm weather hair care tips.
By Loni Albert
Poolside Hair Repair
For a hydrating hair mask on the go, rinse your hair with cool water and soak it from root to tip with conditioner. Then slick it back into a chic bun or braid. The heat will help the product penetrate your strands.
Get Perfect Surfer Waves
You dont need to frolic in the sand to get sexy summer waves. Land-lovers can mist a moisturizing salt spray on damp locks and blow-dry strands with a diffuser to get tousled styles without heading to the beach.
We like Philip B. Maui Wowie Beach Mist, $19.90; amazon.com.
Ditch the Dryer...
...And try out Blake Livelys secret for weather-proof hair. Wash your strands before bed, spritz roots with a volumizing spray, twist hair into a loose bun at the top of your head, and secure with open-ended pins. When you wake up, remove the pins. Soft waves should tumble down. If they dont, use your fingers to gently comb through big knots.
Protect Your Scalp
Since the top of your head gets the most direct exposure to UV rays, add a few drops of sunscreen or a swipe of a sunblock stick along your part to prevent burns above your neck. Better yet, toss on a cute floppy hat for full-face protection.
Soothe a Burnt Scalp
For a DIY calming scalp mask, stylist James Corbett suggests mixing one part mashed cucumber with one part sour cream. The anti-inflammatory properties of the veggie will cool the scalp, while the sour cream works to balance pH levels.
Cool Down Your Blowout
When blow-drying your hair, stay close to an air conditioner or fan to avoid sweating from the heat (hello, extra frizz). The extra air flow will also help dry your strands faster, causing less overall damage.
Try the Feather Trend
Celebs are obsessed with the 1970s-inspired feather extensions, but these funky accessories can pack a heavy price tag. For a fun, budget-friendly spin on the look, celebrity stylist James Corbett suggests making your own out of fly fishing feathers and drugstore hair pins.
Create a Cooling Shampoo
Add a few drops of peppermint oil to your shampoo for a tingly, spa-like shower experience at home. The minty extract will also increase circulation in your scalp, promoting more hair growth.
Eat More Protein
Hair is made of keratin, which is a type of protein. So, adding more amino acids to your diet will help your tresses (and nails) grow stronger. Carry a pack of almonds for an energy- (and strand-) boosting treat on the go.
Keep It Covered
If your hair has recently been colored, try to keep it out of the sun as much as possible. Wear a cute scarf to protect your tresses and add an on-trend boho vibe to your beach look.
Suds Up Your Scalp
As the mercury rises (sweat, grime, salt water!), youll be washing your hair more frequently, which can lead to dry ends and faded color. When shampooing strands, only massage cleanser into roots to avoid stripping away naturally nourishing oils.
Switch Your Part
If your hair falls flat, (the extra moisture in humid air can weigh down strands), simply switch your part to the opposite side to add volume and lift. Trend-seekers can experiment with deeper parts, like those seen at Lacoste and Calvin Klein this seasonor on starlet Camilla Belle.
Keep Dry Shampoo in Your Purse
If sticky, steamy temperatures normally leave your roots feeling greasy before lunchtime, carry an aerosol dry shampoo to refresh locks in a jiffy. Just spray over oily patches and brush (or finger tousle) hair as needed to remove residue.
We like TRESemme FreshStart Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair, $5.49; amazon.com.
Eliminate Tangles
If your hair is hard to comb after washing (salt-water and chlorine create killer knots), add a bit of conditioner to your shampoo. Lather as usual, rinse, and follow with another hit of conditioner. Comb through with a wide tooth comb (brushing wet hair causes more split ends) and repeat if necessary.
Embrace the Ombre Trend
Roots are in! Take a cue from models like Lily Aldridge and grow out your highlights. Not only will you be able to space out your salon visits even more, but youll better protect your hue from the stresses of sun and surf (both oxidize newly-colored hair).
Stock Up on Bobby Pins
Should the humidity cause your perfectly flat-ironed hair to curl, or your bangs to flip the wrong way, you can easily pin back strands or transform your tresses into a cool updo with these old school stand-bys.
Embrace Your Curls
Summer might be the perfect time to wear your naturally curly hair in freely-formed coils, but straighter styles are harder to execute. Instead, opt for texturized waves and smooth a de-frizzing cream over strands before letting hair air-dry. Or let your curls run free, like songbird Jordin Sparks.
Boost Up Your Color
San Diego-based hair guru, Jet Rhys, suggests trying an herbal tea rinse to infuse hair with shade-enhancing tones. She recommends lemon or chamomile teas for blondes; black teas for brunettes; and hibiscus teas for red heads. Boil a large pot of water and add four tea bags for three to five minutes. When done, remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temp. Then, wash hair as usual before soaking your hair with the tea (be sure to comb it through the length of your locks). Cover strands with a shower cap and wait ten minutes before rinsing out.
Cut Down on Drying Time
After washing your hair, wring out any extra moisture with a towel (no rubbing!) and allow strands to dry up to 80% before blow-drying straight. Cutting back on hot tool uses reduces damage significantly. For extra-smooth locks, add shine serum and dry one three-inch section of hair at a time, while focusing the nozzle of the dryer over the brush.
Take Your Vitamins
Its not enough to just eat a healthy diet. Taking a regular multi-vitamin will strengthen strands and allow your hair to grow longer, meaning fewer salon visits in the long run.
Rinse with Cool Water
For those who believe in "no pain, no gain," run your hair under the coldest water you can stand for a few seconds before getting out of the shower. The icy blast will seal cuticles shut, leaving your strands super shiny.
Never Shampoo Before Your Swim
Whether at the pool or ocean, dont jump in with freshly washed hair (unless you're donning a swim cap). Chlorine, chemicals, and salt water are rough on cuticles, and freshly-washed tresses are more vulnerable to damage.
Go Sleek
Aside from keeping your neck cool, a slicked-back ponytail accents your features and gives your mug an instant lift (take your cues from Raven-Symoné). Secure strands with an elastic band that matches your hair color, and be sure to place the ponytail about two inches above the top of your ears for a face-flattering profile.
Add a Headband
Aside from keeping bangs and unruly strands in check, headbands add instant polish to plain ponytails and messy buns.
We like the L.L. Bean Cotton-Knit Unshrinkable Headband, $6.95; llbean.com.
Stock Up on Beach Bag Essentials
The bare minimum you need to get perfect hair in flash? A giant comb and a leave in conditioner. Detangling in between swims (or every few hours) will be the difference between straw-like locks and silky strands after a day at the beach or pool.
Heal Split Ends
Before you cut, smooth almond oil onto the ends of your hair to bring them back to life, suggests stylist James Corbett. It rejuvenates damaged hair just like olive oil, but smells like cookies instead of a salad.
Make the Cut
Brooklyn Decker had the right idea when she chopped off her long locks before the hotter months arrived. And when it comes to summer hair, Allison Mazza of the Valery Joseph Salon says that low maintenance is the way to go. A layered bob can be worn wavy, smooth, or straight and takes a fraction of the time to style.
Do the Milkmaid
Plaited strands dont just have to hang flat. Update this signature do by parting hair on one side (a middle part will look too grade school) and French-braiding each section, from the top, down. After you've braided all of the hair around your face, twist any excess length into a messy bun. The end result is an effortlessly chic look that will stay put for hours, like Nicole Richie's coiff seen here.
Sign Up for a Shine Treatment
Chemicals and free radicals from the pool, sun, salt water, and air conditioning can damage cuticles and dull the hair. At your next salon appointment, ask your stylist about shine treatments that can infuse locks with protein-building complexes to repair the damage done by summer strand-stressers.
Mix It Up!
Summer is the perfect time to really have fun with your hair. Try a different look each day from beachy waves, to braids, to a messy chignon, to a sleek ponytail. Toss on a hat or clip in some flowers for extra pizzazz.
Build Your Bun
Depending on your hair type, try experimenting with different bun-building accessories to keep your top knot looking fresh for hours. Women with finer hair can use filler pieces or extensions to add oomph to wimpy buns while women with thicker hair can use corkscrew pins to hold their coiffs in place.
We like Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins, $7.21; amazon.com.
Add Body
If you have straight hair and need a lift (like fine-haired beauty, Amy Adams), part your damp hair into five or six sections, twist into little buns, and secure with pins. When you wake up, shake out strands for big, wavy bombshell hair. If your hair is thicker, allow it to air dry for thirty minutes before setting into buns.
Try a Fish Tail Braid
Create Rihanna's romantic side-style by weaving four sections of hair (two large and two small) into a sexy fish tail braid and allowing loose pieces to fall around the face. For a sexy evening look, shake out hair and let it fall into perfectly-rumpled, voluminous waves.

John Brown's Body, Pressure Points
(Easy Star Records, CD)
The historical John Brown was an abolitionist who employed guerrilla war tactics in the hopes of ending slavery. Eventually executed by hanging, he was immortalized in a Union marching song called "John Brown's Body." More than a hundred years later, a Boston-based roots-reggae octet appropriated the moniker.
The band John Brown's Body has been active for nearly a decade. Their particular blend of easy-skankin' riddims and spiritually conscious lyrics have found favor with both party-happy college kids and conscientious reggae fans.
JBB's latest disc, Pressure Points, is a total-immersion listening experience. Impeccably performed and recorded, the disc's airtight arrangements and subtle production flourishes come together in a progressive reggae juggernaut.
The musical fire of opener "Bread" is barely contained. The tune's bass line shudders and bounces as vocalist Elliot Martin sermonizes on the subject of spiritual nourishment. "This could be the first calling for the end of days / This could be the last trumpet," he sings. A grim theme for such a sprightly sounding number, but it's in keeping with Rasta tradition.
"New Blood" kicks off with a slamming backbeat and a mesmerizing guitar figure. Built on an uptempo foundation, the song's shimmering melodies intertwine seamlessly. Vocalist Martin spits staccato wordplay without sacrificing an ounce of tonality. "Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse or a drop of rain falling in the Biblical flood?" he asks over the tune's relentless pulse. Hey, nobody said anything about a quiz.
The rock-steady beat and dense horn lines of "Full Control" recall both Peter Tosh and Fela Kuti. Cascading sheets of wah-wah guitar are met by a fidgety bass line. "What We Gonna Do?" also makes good use of the brass, while "Picking Up" relies on a muscular start-stop riff to deliver its musical message.
Things slow down a bit with "Not Enough," a haunting minor-key tune about resilience in the face of adversity. A musical "dark night of the soul," the tune boasts a particularly sinister guitar solo. The album's title track is a downtempo number about seeing through the fog of delusion. Full of cryptic imagery, it closes the record on a decidedly somber note.
John Brown's Body make some of the finest reggae music this side of Jamaica. While Pressure Points may be too modern for purists, it definitely left a mark on me. Hear the band live on Friday, March 31, at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

Best Healthcare Jobs
Today our focus on preventing disease, illness, and injury is just as apparent as our fight to diagnose and treat them. And as even our youngest baby boomers grow closer to age 50, the need to employ qualified healthcare personnel to both prevent and treat medical conditions intensifies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that we not only need to retain those workers already in the field, but also add a substantial number of new ones, with the most occupational growth expected among healthcare support jobs. That's why for this year's list of Best Healthcare Jobs, we included the usual suspects, like nurses and physicians, but also a few unexpected picks, like diagnostic medical sonographer and veterinary tech. Read more on how we rank the best jobs.
As Dr. Seuss once wrote, "Teeth are always in style." Dentists surely think so. They make their living diagnosing and treating our teeth and gums, and counseling us on how to maintain good oral health. This profession is expected to see 21.1 percent growth up to the year 2020.
Registered Nurse
Nursing is an indispensable profession in healthcare; one where workers are almost always needed. This year is no different, as the BLS anticipates 26 percent employment growth in this field between now and 2020.
Pharmacists mix technical, organizational, and people skills in a customer-service environment. Each day, more than 274,900 pharmacists dispense medicine and advice to patients at hospitals and retail chains. Their profession is expected to grow 25.4 percent by 2020.
Physicians are the Grand Poobahs of healthcare—it's their responsibility to diagnose and treat patients, and instruct on proper diet, hygiene, and disease prevention. And like other jobs in this industry, physicians will see abundant job growth to 2020.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist's job description might include helping a paralytic regain mobility or assisting a cancer survivor renew his or her strength. The profession is expected to grow 39 percent by 2020.
Dental Hygienist
In addition to cleaning teeth, dental hygienists educate patients on proper oral hygiene. Something else of note: They make yearly salaries of about $68,250, although most work part-time.
Occupational Therapist
Not all therapy involves evaluating clients reclining on barcaloungers. Occupational therapists, for instance, help patients with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities assimilate in society. Its one of the occupations that's especially on the rise, with 33.5 percent growth expected between 2010 and 2020.
They're basically animal doctors, but they're also so much more: They protect food supply by inspecting livestock, they promote public health by fighting animal-borne diseases, and they help educate people on how to have a healthy relationship with animals. Given the advancements in this field, expect a 36-percent employment jump between now and 2020.
Physical Therapist Assistant
There's a slightly lower education bar to enter this occupation than to become a physical therapist, but assistants do many of the same tasks, including monitoring therapeutic exercises, observing progress in a treatment plan, and offering proper education for patients post-treatment.
Veterinary Technologist & Technician
Behind any qualified veterinarian is his or her support team: the technologists and techs who handle lab work, assist in surgery, administer anesthesia, and collect patient histories. Sounds like the field for you? Consider this: Vet techs and technologists also have excellent job prospects and a low unemployment rate.

The proper circulation and distribution of our publications is one of the most important branches of the present work." Print was the most advanced method of distribution at the turn of the century.

Retired Major James "Jim" Timmerman
Retired Major James "Jim" Timmerman, 65, Superior, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 at Essentia Health St. Mary's Medical Center, Duluth, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Retired Major James "Jim" Timmerman, 65, Superior, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 at Essentia Health St. Mary's Medical Center, Duluth, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Jim was born on July 14, 1947 in Duluth to Leo and Angeline Timmerman.
He was a 1965 graduate of Cathedral High School, Superior. A gifted singer, he performed in several of the school's musicals and played the King of Siam in school's production of The King and I. Jim was a member of the Boy Scouts of America and earned the high distinction of Eagle Scout. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Superior in 1969, where he was a member of the ROTC and the ROTC Drum & Bugle Corp. He was a navigator/bombardier in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal, seven Air Medals, and numerous other combat medals. His last military assignment was as a Major Plans Department Chair for NATO Exercises and War Plans, before retiring after 20 years of dedicated service to his country.
He loved to travel and experience all the world had to offer. One item on his bucket list that he was unable to fulfill was a cruise to the Panama Canal.
Jim worked for the United States Postal Service for over 15 years before retiring due to health concerns.
He was a member of Catholic Order of Foresters and the Knights of Columbus.
Jim was an avid fisherman. He loved to fish, and he was very good at it. But, he hated to eat the fish after he caught them! He also loved to golf and spend time playing smear with his family.
He is survived by one daughter, Sarah (Don) Wallentiny, Rogers, Minn.; one son, Aaron Timmerman, Rosemount, Minn.; five grandchildren, Conor Timmerman, Dominic Shirley, Ashton Shirley, Anna Wallentiny, Leo Wallentiny; his mother, Angeline Timmerman, Superior; one sister, Maureen (Kenneth) Hensley, Apple Valley, Minn.; one brother, John (Marguerite) Timmerman, Auburndale, Wis.; nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.
He was preceded in death by his father Leo Timmerman.
Visitation will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, followed by a 2 p.m. memorial Mass at Holy Assumption Catholic Church, with Rev. Ronald Olson as celebrant.
Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery in Superior, where military honors will be accorded by the American Legion Post No. 435 Honor Guard and a private military burial at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. where military honors will also be accorded.
Honorary pallbearers for the service will be Jim's grandchildren, Conor, Dominic, Ashton, Anna and Leo.

EUGENE – The location for the inaugural Pac-12 Conference Football Championship Game may encompass a home-field feel for one of the division winner in Friday's game to determine the league's representative in the 98th Rose Bowl Game. However the Pac-12 has implemented measures to transform one of the toughest venues in the country on visiting teams into what is intended, at least, to appear more hospitable to out-of-town guests.
Autzen Stadium, where the University of Oregon has accumulated an 18-1 record in three seasons under Head Coach Chip Kelly, will serve as the site of the Pac-12's first conference championship game, with kickoff against South Division winner UCLA scheduled for 5:20 p.m. PST in front of an anticipated sellout crowd and a FOX national television audience.
While some of the elements incorporated into the conference's football championship may go unnoticed to casual observers, other changes may not be quite so subtle.
Graphics both inside and outside of the stadium feature both the Ducks and Bruins, with a new wrap on the walls surrounding the playing field adding to the championship atmosphere.
The Pac-12 has partnered with Big Screen Networks to handle the Duck Vision video board productions, Infinite Scale Design Group for event design and integrated branding, Gameday Merchandising for merchandising services and retail operations, Shoreline Publishing Group for the game program, SparkyJax for event production, Wide Angle Productions for game entertainment, Eddie Mangan for field services and Paul Olden for public address duties. Collectively, the group has been a part of 44 Super Bowls, eight Olympic Games and more than 20 major college Bowl Games, including the BCS Championship game.
Big Screen Networks has produced the video screen presentation for four of the past five Olympic Games, as well as FIFA World Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, the past 27 NFL Super Bowl productions. Infinite Scale will handle the design, strategy and project management combined with AAA Flag & Banner for planning, printing, and graphics redesign throughout the stadium. Since 2000, Shoreline Publishing Group has produced more than 300 books and magazines for national publishers, with a specialty in sports. The group has worked with the NFL, MLB, MLS, NASCAR, NBA, and other national leagues and brands to produce books in a wide variety of formats. Their team has supervised the printing of more than 25 Super Bowl programs. SparkyJax Productions is a creative, design and production company specializing in large-scale entertainment experiences with an extensive background in both sports and entertainment, including NBA games, grand openings and movie premieres. Wide Angle Group is an innovative production management company that creates special events and experiences in sports, corporate and non-profit arenas. With expertise in design, show direction and production, they have produced show events for many industry leaders, including Paramount Pictures, Anschutz Entertainment Group, Wasserman Media and Northern Trust.
Mangan, longtime Field Director for the Atlanta Braves, has worked as a field consultant for the Olympics, NFL Pro Bowls and the last 21 Super Bowls. Olden is the public address announcer for the New York Yankees and has served in the same role for 12 Super Bowls.
Longtime Oregon public address announcer Don Essig will complement Olden and add a familiarity to some of the pageantry the Ducks' fans have come to enjoy.
While some of the elements may cause Oregon fans to question where they are watching the game, other routines will remain unchanged.
The Autzen Stadium east parking lot will open four hours prior to game time (1 p.m.), the Moshofsky Center will open at 2 p.m. and access into the stadium bowl will begin at 3:30 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 5:05 p.m. as both teams will return to the field from their locker rooms, aided by a 90-second highlight video featuring both participants, and fireworks to be a part of the pre-game festivities. Both teams will remain on the field for the national anthem.
Following the conclusion of the game, fans will be encouraged to remain in their seats for the trophy presentation to the winning team. Field level access for fans exiting the stadium will be delayed for 5 minutes following the conclusion of the post-game presentation.
Alternative means of transportation to and from the game is encouraged. The University of Oregon, in partnership with the Lane Transit District as well as neighboring businesses and organizations, has worked collaboratively to minimize inconveniences that may arise from the unconventional Friday night football game.
Representatives have been meeting to address the unique challenges for businesses and residents surrounding the Autzen Stadium area, including traffic flow on Martin Luther King Blvd., and transporting spectators to and from the game on a weekday.
