Staff Stories
Seeing the best in you.
Bunmi Aganmayo always knew she wanted to be a nurse, but she didn't know she wanted to work in psychiatry until she gave it a try. From that moment on, "I was hooked." She currently works as an ECT coordinator for patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy, one method of treatment for severe and persistent mental illness. Bunmi says working in psychiatry is so rewarding because you get to see the different sides of a person. When patients come in they are sick, and with proper medication and care, they can become their best selves. She enjoys being a part of that process, providing reassurance and explanation to patients as well as good old-fashioned kindness. Bunmi also strives to be her own best self, and recently received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. "There's so much to learn. I have to keep getting better and better at what I do."
Cheering All
With her unmistakably upbeat, friendly attitude, it's fitting that Jenny Kelley calls herself a "cheer-leader" to fellow nurses. Jenny is a clinical care supervisor in Ambulatory Services, mentoring her colleagues to develop their clinical skill and competency. She believes that offering support and gratitude to staff is how to keep them engaged and doing their best work. "I am always telling other nurses and staff, 'Thank you for the work that you do.' " Jenny spreads positive energy in all her interactions, not only by helping her colleagues feel supported but also by encouraging patients to look forward and not focus on sad experiences. "You need to figure out what the patient wants and what works for them and then help them achieve that."
Colleagues, Caregivers
Our reputation as "the hospital of choice" inspired Walter Chesley to take on the role of Vice President of Human Resources at HCMC. Soon after he started in 2013, this reputation was put to the test when he was admitted to our hospital for a health crisis. During his time as a patient of HCMC, Walter was pleased to see our reputation embodied in his day-to-day interactions with staff. He witnessed firsthand the seamless care coordination, staff members' special ways of connecting with patients, and their welcoming approach to family and visitors. Walter's experience as a patient deepened his appreciation and respect for our outstanding workforce, and he believes that investing in employees positively impacts care quality and outcomes.
I've Been There
For Burn Center physician Jon Gayken, "Being present for patients means putting myself in their situation" – literally. When Jon was 17 years old, he developed a life-threatening blood infection and spent three months in HCMC's Burn Center undergoing multiple skin grafts. "I know what it is like to ask for pain meds and to be in their situation," he said. "Some of those feelings and emotions will never go away." Jon believes that this special connection to patients helps him provide better treatment. His story of leaving the Burn Center and coming back as a doctor is not only a powerful inspiration to his patients, but a daily reminder for himself of how far he's come and why he's here today.
Helping Patients and Families Find Their Way
"I'm a guide through the traumatic spiritual and emotional terrain of a health crisis," said Margo Richardson, summing up her role as a staff chaplain. Patients and families often struggle with questions like "Why me?" or "Why am I being punished or abandoned?" when they get sick or injured. As she listens to patients tell their story, she follows their lead and pays special attention to the sources of strength and support they mention. She then provides the spiritual care right for them, whether it is prayer, a ritual or re-connecting them to their core strengths, values, and faith. "I know I have done my job when I witness people getting to a better place. They begin to find meaning in what is happening, cope with life changes, and find hope."
Anticipating Your Needs
"I promise to anticipate your needs before you even know you have them." By being fully present for patients and putting their needs first, Priscilla Aguilar performs her duties as a member of our Registration staff while providing the best possible customer service. When patients and families arrive at our Emergency Department in a health crisis, the last thing on their minds is talking about insurance and demographic information. A simple gesture like offering a blanket for warmth, or water for refreshment, can help ease their anxieties and transform an ordinary healthcare experience into one that they will never forget. This focus on the patient's needs enables Priscilla to better do her job. "I am always aware of the situation and recognize that every patient is different."
One great team.
Sandra Bergner entered Monty Millsap's life when he was hospitalized multiple times for congestive heart failure. When Monty first met his clinical care coordinator, he was apprehensive. But it wasn't long before Sandra's time, attention, and expert coordination among his healthcare providers inspired Monty to give himself that same level of care. "A crucial part of his amazing recovery is his own work and effort," said Sandra. Monty goes to at least two or three appointments a month and takes many medications in order to stay healthy. He knows Sandra always has his back and is there for him when he has questions or needs help. The trust and teamwork between these two has been life-changing for Monty, who is now able to walk and breathe entirely on his own. "He hasn't been readmitted once since January 2013," said Sandra. "That is huge."
The Right Way
If you've been to our downtown campus before, you may recognize a friendly face in Joe Sedlachek. Joe has worked at our Welcome Services desks for almost 22 years, answering questions and helping visitors find their way. Joe makes a lasting impression on the people he serves by trying to remember the name and face of everyone who stops by. "I always remember people's names. I find that it eases the nerves of our patients and makes their experience better." With his upbeat and friendly demeanor, Joe's goal is to set the right tone for their visit. "I want to set a good example for the organization. We are the face of HCMC – the first and last impression."
I Don't Hate the Doctor Anymore
"Before I came to HCMC, I always hated going to the doctor," said Yasmine Sidibe, a patient and volunteer. When she injured her hand and came to HCMC for the first time, she found a place where she felt at home. Her friends even joke that she should move in! "My providers take the time to make me feel comfortable, answer my questions, and make sure I understand the treatment plan." Her positive experiences as a patient inspired Yasmine to volunteer at HCMC. She remembers one burn patient with whom she spent extra time because his family lived out state: "He was my rock star. I told him that I was his #1 groupie. His nurse told me she hadn't seen him smile like that before." Volunteering has always been in Yasmine's heart, and she is happy to be able to fully express her passion at HCMC where she says there is a "culture of helping."
Better Than Ever
An employee for 26 years and a patient for nearly as long, Brad McFarland has seen Hennepin transform over the years. He has always considered HCMC one of the best, and even chose to have his kidney transplant surgery here as well as all of his primary care. In recent years, however, Brad has also seen HCMC make positive strides in meeting the needs of patients and families that extend beyond excellent clinical care. For Brad, who works in the telecommunications department, one of the most important things we can do is support the lines of communication between patients, families and providers. "I have seen how much of a priority it has become to help patients stay connected with their loved ones," says Brad. "Families and friends have a very important role on the health care team, and we have a responsibility to encourage their involvement in patient care." There is no doubt that Brad is proud of HCMC and the care provided here, now more than ever.
One Improvement at a Time
Katie Kummer doesn't wear scrubs or a stethoscope, but every hour of her work day is spent thinking about how we can better serve our patients and families. In her role as a performance improvement advisor, Katie collaborates with departments and leaders across HCMC to continuously evaluate and redesign processes and systems. "I am proud to say that I work to improve how we provide care for our patients." Although she has celebrated the successful completion of many improvement projects, the work of continuous improvement is never done. "I love working at HCMC," said Katie. Every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to transform our health system...one improvement at a time.
How I Operate
Hue Moua has always had a special touch with computers, but his touch with people is even stronger. For Hue, great customer service is at the heart of information technology. During his 15 years in IT, including the last three years on the IT team at HCMC, he has found that the most important connections he makes aren't with cables, ports, or networks, but with people. "I make every effort to listen to their concerns, respond to issues quickly, and explain what I am doing so they understand," said Hue. With his IT expertise, Hue knows he can make a difference not only in the work of our staff, but also in the lives of our patients. "Even though I don't work in patient care, I can help make it possible for providers here to deliver high quality patient care."
Two Ways to Teach
Deidre Campbell and her mother, Nancy Grimes, have very different roles at Hennepin, but they are both educators in ways that are supported and valued here. Deidre works as a nurse in the Hepatitis and Liver Disease Clinic. She educates patients about their disease and its management, leading to better medical outcomes and more satisfied patients empowered by self-care. Nancy, on the other hand, is a patient of the Internal Medicine Clinic, but she sees herself as a teacher too. "One of the things I enjoy most about HCMC is the teaching environment," says Nancy, a former teacher and high school principal. "It's just amazing to meet so many medical students and residents. I get to know them, and they get to know me." By taking the time to create a relationship with each other, she hopes to teach them something about how to keep the humanity in the clinical encounter.
A Supportive Push
Working as a transporter at HCMC, Bilal Flomer safely gets patients where they need to go for tests, procedures, and appointments. Though he may be taking them from one patient care area to another, Bilal doesn't think of the short time he spends with patients as "in-between." Rather, he says, transport is a continuation of their care, with the same potential for healing. As they pass through the hallways of HCMC together, Bilal and his patients talk openly and honestly, and through conversation comes comfort and relief. "I am here for them," says Bilal, "to listen with understanding and compassion and to give them encouragement."
More Than Words
Every day, HCMC welcomes patients from over 30 different countries speaking over 20 different languages—37,084 patients annually. In such a landscape, professional medical interpreters like Elma Johnson and Muhiyadin "Mo" Aden play an essential role in facilitating communication between providers and patients who speak limited English. "We see things from the eyes of the patient," said Elma. "Many of us have had similar experiences and understand their preferences, needs, and values." As Interpreter Service Supervisors, both mentor their staff on increasing awareness of and respect for the patient's perspective to support improved health outcomes. "I enjoy my work," said Mo, "because I can make a difference for people."
My Dream Job
Now HCMC's CEO, Dr. Jon Pryor got his start in healthcare when he worked as a nursing assistant the summer before college. He found his life's work in the rewarding connections he was able to create with patients: "I felt very privileged to be able to touch the patients both physically and emotionally. I felt like I made a difference to them, and it felt good to me as well." After graduating from medical school, he went on to work as a surgeon in urology, including two years of training as a resident at HCMC. In his role as HCMC's CEO, Dr. Pryor sees himself as he always has: as a member of the healthcare team, working side by side with our physicians, nurses, and staff to deliver patient-, family-, and community-centered care to every patient, every day, every time.
First Impressions
Paramedic Angela Hanke and her colleagues in Hennepin EMS work on the front line of patient care. They are the first to respond when an accident or incident occurs in the community, performing life-saving medical services to stabilize patients on their way to the hospital. As first responders, they also have the first opportunity to create a connection with the patient and family and establish them as partners on the care team. For Angela, this relationship starts by listening to their needs, explaining what's happening and what they can expect, and supporting them in their decisions. And most importantly, "It means showing them I care no matter what the call."
Proactive for Patients
"Hola, me llamo Edna. ¿Cómo le puedo ayudar?" Patient Representative Edna Martinez is skilled in responding to patients' and families' concerns and ensuring that their experiences at HCMC are exceptional. But what Edna finds most rewarding about her job are the times when she is not only reacting to concerns, but also being proactive about them. The work she is most proud of is when she has visited with patients and their families to talk about a specific issue or concern, only to identify another need that they may have hesitated to mention—a need that, once met, changes their experience entirely. For Edna, the best encounters are those in which she can help the patient and family feel well cared for.
Sharing Stories
"In health care, we all have stories," said Mary K Johnson. Patients and providers alike. Providers' stories are often about the times when a patient or family member has touched their heart in a particular way. By putting the experience into a story, "they can carry it with them for the rest of their life," she said, "and use it as a reminder of why they do this and why it's all worthwhile." Mary K has amassed a lot of stories during the 26 years she has spent at HCMC as a registered nurse. She also knows that when patients' share their own stories with her, together they find new and important information that can be used to guide their care. And in the process of sharing each of their stories, Mary K and her patients are creating a new story together.
A Firsthand Account
One of Thomas Stoner's volunteer positions at HCMC is transporting same-day surgery patients to their procedures. Thomas sees his role as much more than just keeping patients safe and comfortable en route. Many surgery patients are nervous about what lies ahead, and so Thomas feels it's also important to be a calming influence. His own surgical experiences here serve this function well. "I can appreciate their nervousness and uncertainty," Thomas said. He is able to offer patients a firsthand account of what it's like to be cared for at HCMC. He assures them that what lies ahead is not only safe and excellent clinical care, but a caring team that keeps the patient at the center—every step of the way.
Helping Patients Breathe Easier
When treating patients, Amanda Bjorklund utilizes her clinical expertise as a certified respiratory therapist, a role that she has held at HCMC since 2000. She has also found that one of her most effective tools is her communication skills: "Just talking to the patient, letting him or her know what to expect, and offering words of comfort and reassurance are some of the most powerful actions you can take," said Amanda. When patients are concerned or scared about their health, she stays and talks with them until they feel secure. Even in situations where patients aren't conscious or may not be able to hear her, Amanda makes communication a priority. "I do everything I can to help the patient."
The Power of Listening
When Protection Officer John Concepcion tries to calm a patient or visitor who is upset, you will see him touch him or her in powerful ways—but not with his hands. He reaches them through his ability to listen. John understands that the key to deescalating situations isn't to restrain people. It's to give them the freedom to speak and be heard. "We can work through the whole process by connecting with them and respecting them," said John. Taking the time to actively listen helps staff connect with patients and their families on many levels that can aid in healing.
What Really Counts
"I try to go above and beyond for at least one person a day," said Food Service Worker Ray Cathey, who has proudly worn his chef's hat in the HCMC cafeteria for almost three years. Ray always meets his daily goal—and then some, by helping hundreds of others in more modest ways. You'll see him getting a cover for a patient's plate or finding the crushed red pepper for someone whose meal needs a little heat. But Ray knows it's not the numbers that count. It's the effort. And for someone with such a naturally positive and helpful attitude, it doesn't even take much of that.
On Top of Going Under
If Nurse Anesthetist Paige Saunders wrote an advertisement for surgery at HCMC, it would read something like this: "Making your experience so good you'll wish you weren't asleep for it!" The tagline captures her approach to the delivery of care, using humor and laughter to connect with patients and help them cope with difficult situations. "My heart is truly in this to care for others," said Paige. She is passionate about her job and devoted to her patients. "Right before patients are asleep I put my hand on their cheek and tell them we are going to take good care of them. We will be with them the entire time they are in surgery, monitoring their pain and anesthesia."
Putting Myself Out There
When meeting a patient for the first time in the Observation and Recovery Unit where she works, Shawna Wellnitz always starts by introducing herself and her role as a health care assistant. In doing so, she is no longer just another staff member, nameless and unfamiliar, going in and out of the room. She becomes a person, with a purpose that she always makes sure to relate to the rest of their care. She says that it is important to "put yourself out there" for patients, just as they must do for you. And for Shawna, introducing herself to patients is the first step toward making their interaction more personal—and more healing.
Care You Can't Measure
Small differences can be immeasurable. Joan Hagen learned this simple lesson firsthand through her own family's health care experiences, and she has applied it to her position as a Radiology Technologist ever since. So, when Joan takes patients back for procedures, she makes sure their families have a chance to say "I love you" first. The small gesture is an immeasurable boost for patients and families, and a good example of how to partner with them in a simple way and keep them at the center. Joan knows that affirmation and assurance go a long way towards a healing experience and she always makes time for them.
"Grade A" Work
Trading his chalkboard for a lab cart, Stephen McMahan switched careers from high school science teacher to laboratory assistant and ended up at HCMC. "I wanted to get into the inpatient setting where I could have direct patient interaction," said Stephen. "It's always a challenge and I love it." Stephen visits patients in their hospital room to draw blood and other specimens for analysis. He says that in a lot of their daily routines, "we can sometimes lose sight of the fact that these are real people with real problems just like us." Recognizing that every patient interaction offers an opportunity to make a difference, he strives to build meaningful connections with his patients and families.
Patient & Provider in One
Soon after Marianne Knutson started working at Hennepin County Medical Center, she became a patient here. After nearly fifteen years, she's still both. The Laboratory Manager credits her longevity as a patient to the relationships she has built with her health care providers, who all have supported and empowered Marianne and her husband to participate in her care. As they work together as partners to treat her condition, Marianne and her providers have shared moments of hope, disappointment, and surprising tenderness. Through her experiences as both a provider and patient, Marianne has learned how important it is for providers to simply listen.
Bringing the Best of Me
"To be kind," says Rene Cabrera. "That's what we are here for." A Facilities Management Worker, Rene knows his service to Hennepin County Medical Center doesn't stop with his official job duties—keeping our facilities safe and productive. Rene also strives to create a caring and warm welcome by greeting patients in the hallways with a smile, connecting them to hospital services, and walking with them to appointments when they need help. He believes that these daily connections with patients have made him a better person. "It's a very good feeling when you help somebody."
Power of a Calm Mind
A calm mind improves communication, creates trust and respect, and enables you to be present and focus on others' wellbeing – with a calm mind, anything is possible. Every morning, Jampa Ritzekura practices breathing meditation to achieve this ideal state of mind. He finds that it enhances the care he provides to patients and families in Same Day Surgery where he works as a health care assistant. With a customer service philosophy inspired by the Dalai Lama's teachings, Jampa practices compassion and finds ways to relate to patients through our common humanity. "I take care of patients as if they were one of my family members because we are all the same: human beings."
Showing How Much I Care
Stacey Hayes got her start in the Medical Records Department, but found her home when she took a position as a patient services coordinator in the Addiction Medicine Clinic. For more than 12 years she has helped support and encourage those struggling with the disease of addiction. "Our clinic is like a family," said Stacey. "The patients are part of that family too." Every day she offers a warm welcome and smile when they check in, making sure to listen carefully and remember special details. "It means a lot to remember something a patient says and then ask about it a couple days later. It shows patients you are really listening to them and care about their lives." For Stacey, each patient provides an opportunity to show how much she cares.

Staff Sgt. Larry Harrison, serving in B Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, was killed in Vietnam Feb. 2, 1970, but it was not until September, 2012, that he was honored.
"Well, they presented a plaque with, all of them had signed it, and a rose, and a cap," Janel Harrison said. "It was a dream come true that — I had always hoped someday I would meet those guys, but I never had any idea I'd get to, and I did, and it was wonderful."
Being presented with the plaque came as a complete surprise for Harrison. She was attending the unit's first reunion, held in Washington, D.C.
"I didn't have a clue. It was known a good while before I was ever told, because [the] kids was afraid that I couldn't handle it, really. But I did, and I was happy that I did," Harrison said. "They didn't present me with a medal. They did, it's in memory of Larry, presented the 15th day of September, 2012, in recognition of Larry Harrison from the men who proudly served with him."
Harrison added that although she was saddened by the event, and remembering the loss of her son, she was able to make it through the ceremony.
"I loved it. I really did. It was sad, but I tried to keep everything in check because of them. ... A couple of times I had to get off by myself, but I was proud of myself, and my daughters and his ex-wife. I was so proud of them," she said.

Comments: These shoes are awsome best running shoe everFrom: Anonymous
Comments: It takes a few runs to break in these shoes but once you do you won't want to take them off. The upper is form fitting and the zoom air sole is resilient. I have used these for runs up to 15 miles and they performed well.From: S, Philadelphia, PA
Comments: I tried this shoe on with a quick jog over at a high school cross country camp sponsored by Nike this summer. While the upper is amazing like Nike claims, the sole of the shoe is what really matters for the quality ride a runner gets. It was super hard and firm. I am a forefoot striker and prefer to run in my Altra Instincts than the New Balance Minimus Trail 00 I trained in last spring. The Flyknit trainer simply needs to be flatter and softer for heel-strikers or forefoot runners. It is just too hard a shoe... no matter how great the upper design is. From: Audie, Logansport, Indiana

Silvan Dillier earned the BMC Development Team's first victory by winning the overall classification Sunday at the Tour de Normandie.
Crucial Teamwork Played A Part
Dillier took a three-second win over Alexandre Blain (Team Raleigh), whom he overtook for the lead after Friday's stage of the seven-day French race. Blain made it close on the final, 137-kilometer stage by winning a three-second intermediate time bonus sprint, but Dillier earned one second himself by placing third. Tino Thömel (Team NSP-Ghost) won the last stage as Dillier placed 15th. Dylan Van Baarle (Rabobank Development Team) finished third overall, at eight seconds. "This is the greatest victory I have had so far for sure," Dillier said. "It is also an overall victory and I have never won a stage race before, so this is really special. I am really happy. The team did a great job for me. They protected me the whole day. It was a really great job they did all week."
First Objective Accomplished
Dillier, 22, also won the best young rider classification of the UCI 2.2 race. His young career already includes Swiss Under 23 national titles in the time trial (2010 and 2012), one on the road (2009) and Under 23 European track championship titles in the pursuit and the madison (both in 2012). Teammates helping Dillier earn the BMC Development Team's historic first win were: T.J. Eisenhart (USA), Stefan Küng (SUI), Igniazio Moser (ITA), Jakub Novak (CZE) and Loïc Vliegen (BEL). BMC Development Team Manager Rik Verbrugghe said it would be hard to imagine a more perfect start to the season. "The team was really strong all week and rode perfectly," he said. "This is the first year of our program, this was our first stage race, it was our first goal of the season and we came back with a victory. So it's amazing."

Claude Julien told reporters at Tuesday's practice in Vermont that forward Carl Soderberg is "highly doubtful" to play in Thursday's season-opener with swelling in his ankle. Soderberg was listed as being on injured reserve when NHL's opening-day rosters were released Tuesday.
Julien added that David Krejci, who also did not practice Tuesday, will skate Wednesday, making his status for Thursday a lot better than Soderberg's.
With Soderberg likely out, expect Jordan Caron to play in his place as the third-line left wing.
Soderberg suffered the injury in the preseason finale Friday, when he hit a right in the Bruins' exhibition against the Jets.

AUSTIN, Tex. — Dave Grohl brought his super-group the Sound City Players to Austin's South by Southwest Music Festival on Thursday for a final concert, thrilling several thousand people in a yard behind Stubbs BBQ.
Mr. Grohl's boyish glee at having assembled the musicians on the bill was evident as the concert progressed. Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty and Rick Springfield all arrived onstage to play a few of their best-known songs, while Mr. Grohl beamed like a fanboy.
"You can only imagine that it's my life's greatest gift that I get to call up these people who I consider heroes and have them come on stage and jam with me," said Mr. Grohl, who earlier in the day gave the keynote address for the festival.
Others on the bill included Lee Ving of Fear, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Chris Goss of Masters of Reality, the guitarist Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, the drummer Brad Wilk from Rage Against the Machine and the Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic. They were backed up by the keyboardist Rami Jaffee and several members of Mr. Grohl's band, Foo Fighters.
South by Southwest
Reports from the South by Southwest conference and festival in Austin.
The group was formed to make Mr. Grohl's recently released documentary about the Sound City recording studio in Los Angeles, a storied but decrepit building where Nirvana recorded their breakout album "Nevermind" in 1991. Various lineups of the Sound City Players have done shows in New York, London and Los Angeles to promote the film and its soundtrack since January.
Like the other shows, the Austin concert was largely a celebration of oldies, though there were songs from the film's original soundtrack sprinkled into the set list. Mr. Grohl, playing master of ceremonies, called his rock 'n' roll heroes to the stage one after another, while Foo Fighters proved they could have been a classic rock cover band.
Ms. Nicks did an inspired rendition of "Dreams" early in the show. Mr. Springfield got the crowd singing along his hits, like "Jesse's Girl" and "I've Done Everything for You."
Mr. Ving played the aging punk troublemaker and iconoclast to the hilt as he Read more…

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Other Granite Quarry news
"It's informative, if people would just take the time to go through it," Alderman Jim LaFevers said Monday night.
Town Manager Dan Peters tipped his hat to Town Clerk Lydia Larios for the redesigned "Quarrier," which just came out with its four-page Spring/Summer issue.
The only drawback is its distribution. Larios reports that 25 to 30 people are on the town's list to receive it by email. Otherwise, it's available at Town Hall and on the town's website at www.granitequarrync.gov.
It is not mailed to residents. Town officials are encouraging residents to contact Town Hall and sign up for the newsletter to be emailed to them. There is no charge.
"This is well-done ... and it takes a lot of time," Mayor Mary S. Ponds said.
The current issue includes upcoming events in Granite Quarry; information on recycling and Granite Quarry's ordinance on open fire burning; a column from Ponds; news from the Granite Quarry fire, police and maintenance departments; an update on how the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will handle tags and taxes beginning July 1; and an "Employee Spotlight" on Police Officer Matt Milette.
In other business Monday night, the board heard from Gary Mattingly, chairman of the town's downtown Revitalization Team, which recently held its first formal meeting.
"We've got a really good group to start this thing off with," said Mattingly, who operates Slice of Heaven pizza.
He said the team discussed things Granite Quarry could possibly do to make people stop and get out of their vehicles, rather than just drive through on U.S. 52.
Some of the ideas could involve promotion of bike and hiking trails, Mattingly said as an example.
When asked by LaFevers what the team has talked about in terms of branding for Granite Quarry, Mattingly said it would be a mistake to come up with a brand "before we know what our brand is."
Related to the revitalization effort, aldermen passed a resolution supporting "visionary funding" into the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
The resolution essentially says that any unspent monies in the fund will roll over to the next budget year.
Aldermen also discussed repairs to the house the town owns and rents behind Granite Lake Park.
The house recently incurred extensive damage from a fallen tree. As part of settling the insurance claim, Town Manager Dan Peters also gathered estimates on other repairs needed with the house, including an upgrade to the heating and air-conditioning system.
After seeing some of the costs, Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather and others expressed concerns the town, over coming years, would be spending more on the house's upkeep than it was receiving in rental income, which is about $800 a month.
Aldermen agreed to take care of the damage caused by the tree with the insurance money but table other improvements, pending a discussion on what it wants to do with the property.
"We're not in the (housing) rental business," LaFevers said.
Ponds agreed it was "a very wise decision for us to make."

LIVE! | Firefest Festival 2012: Day 2 – Gotthard, Mitch Malloy, Robin Beck, XYZ, Work of Art & Johnny Lima
by Marcel "Mars" Groeneveld
– Columnist –
October 20, 2012 At Rock City in Nottingham, UK –
After the great performances last night, getting psyched up for the second day of Firefest isn't hard to do with an amazing lineup once again. In previous additions of Firefest the opening band of the day usually got a bad deal however this year Johnny Lima got a packed Rock City to play for. It could have been that the meet and greet sessions with several bands prior to the show brought people out sooner to the venue or maybe his first appearance on the Gods of A.O.R Festival in 1999 and again 2000.
Having witnessed a lot of excellent musicians on stage, Mister Johnny Lima separate's himself by also being a great performer, who just loves to work the crowd. Opening with "Made in California" from the same titled 2003 release, the flamboyant rocker woke up the crowd with a bang. He was backed up by a Euro-band, as most American artist do nowadays, to keep cost down. Lima looked the part of a rock star straight out of the 80's.
Having to always be compared to sounding like John Bon Jovi, Lima's voice in a live setting has a rougher edge. However with songs like "Hate To Love You" from the latest 2009 release Livin' Out Loud the comparisons were once again made. The crowd though didn't seem to mind as they as the Firefest folks were clapping along.
Kicking into another track from LOL aka Livin' Out Loud, hmm I bet no coincidence there as this is how Lima lives his life, "All I Want" and going in to "Wildflower" the Firefest choir once again joined in. Lima who is in the midst recording his next epic, took the opportunity to throw in a couple of new tracks. The first being an amazing new tune called "My Revolution," which has a groovy keyboard and guitar riff that will not leave your head once you've heard it. Lima has the talent of writing melodic rock songs with catchy chorus lines that stick in your brain. It was the same with the next one, "Blame It On Love," which built up the tension before going into the chorus and was another great song for singing along to. This is promising for the next album for sure. Returning to LOL with '"Caught In The Middle" the crowd was echoing the chorus, "the Oohh noo, let's gooo…," rocking right along with Lima. The last song, "Hard To Say Goodbye," ended on a funny note, as Lima stated, "…goodnight Nottingham…," is an indication that most rock bands are not used to play at one a clock in the afternoon.
With gratitude an emotional Lima addressed the people during the set, stating sometimes a musician has doubts as to why he is doing what he does but with a crowd like this it is all worth it. This act was nice to wake up to, although not being Lima's band; he carried the act mostly on his own with a little bit of help from his bass player. Hopefully this will be taken care of when he returns next year to tour Europe.
After a long switch finally it was time for Swedish rockers Work Of Art talking about great musicians well these guys are the AOR revelation of their time. Again we see Swedish best kept secret Lars Säfsund on vocals, the opening song came off of their 2011 sophomore album, In Progress. "The Rain" is an up-tempo rock anthem being and was well received by the audience. The bands influences are very clear, bands like Toto, Survivor and on the next song, "Nature Of This Game," had a noticeable Giant influence.
Säfsund crystal clear voice was perfect in the mix, although I was standing to the right of keyboards an at the time they were loud in the mix, overpowering guitarist Robert Säll perfect solo. On the song "Cover Me" from their 2008 debut album Artwork the keyboard solo of Jonas Gröning suffered a bit as the monitors on stage were louder than the PA. Eventually the sound was balanced out, seemed the folks standing a little bit more away from the stage didn't notice this at all. Herman Furin pounding delivered the groove on "Camilea," another song from their debut album which led into the song "Emelie."
While all excellent musicians it was a bit static. Finally with the tune "Never Love Again," Lars Säfsund started jumping up and down gaining a reaction from the audience. Work of Art performed "Headed For The Great Fall" which was also played by W.E.T. at last year's Firefest. The chorus was being chanted by the audience and really got the place rocking. The band kicked in the last song, "Why Do I," and completed a perfect, but way to short set. The response was once again amazing from the Firefest crowd.
Now the next band I think most people were anxious to see and high expectations were to be met by Robin Beck. With a band consisting of 50 percent of House Of Lords, James Christian on bass and background vocals and B.J. Zampa on drums. Leaving the shredding to one of the best guitar players in this genre mister Tommy Denander and, from Spain, Jorge Salan, most known for his work with Jeff Scott Soto. The melody was provided by Eric Ragno, one of the best keyboard players at the moment who completed the lineup.
Starting off with a Bonnie Tyler cover, "When I was A Man," recorded for the 1989 release Trouble or Nothing, the talent of Tommy Denander 's talent was apparent early on. Another gem from the same album was also the cover song "Don't Lose Any Sleep" (John Waite). This song went over well with the crowd, the joy of each band member is noticeable as these guys and specially girl are born to be on stage.
The relaxed drumming of B.J. Zampa, guitar work of Denander and Salas are a treat. While the new comic duo of Miss Christian and hubby James are hilarious and entertaining. Desmond Child and Alice Cooper songwriting was represented with the song "Hold Back The Night." "Save Up All Your Tears" from Beck's most successful album to date Trouble Or Nothing was played and the comic duo was at it again. They obviously have a great time, fooling around basically Beck telling Christian she wants to get some. With that they went into "That All Depends" from the 2011 The Great Escape.
After "Tears In The Rain" Beck dedicated the next song "The One" to that very special person, Ragno and Denander where looking at each other, pointing to each other, but of course Christian was the one, or was it Bruce Mee one of the organizers? Christian was acting a bit embarrassed (well played Oscar worthy).
The band was humpin stompin and singing along with Paul Stanley's "Hide Your Heart. " After having told everybody the story of the song that basically made her career "First Time" Beck rocked the house with the amazing Tommy Denander doing the solo in his trademark style, ending with everybody cheering for the very first time. Of course the crowd wanted more and they got more a "new" track for the next album and another cover from Glen Burtnick which was a modest hit with back in 1987 "Follow Me." This ended a terrific set and hopefully we will see this band in the near future as they pleased the crowd but definitely themselves, there were plenty of happy faces as they walked off the stage.
Unfortunately Firefest being a marathon I missed Canadian rockers Santers and I guess more people had the same thought of getting some food. I did get some info they played "Winter Freeze," "Mistreatin' Heart," "Time After Time," "Black Magic," "The Rapper," "Dreaming" and a drum solo was added to the set-list continuing with "You Turn Me On," "All Right Now," "Can't Shake You" and ending the set with "Road To Moracco." I heard the people who stayed and knew the Santers were impressed by the band so I'll gladly leave it at that.
The next band took me back down memory lane, as I saw them perform at the Los Angeles Foundation Forum back in 1991 and they kicked some serious ass back then. Having seen Terry Ilous performed some two weeks before with Great White I already knew his vocal cords are still magical and now wanted to see him do it with XYZ. Having had different line-ups over the years it surprised me to see Pat Fontiane back in the band on bass, hoping on JK Northrup on guitar, getting Tony Marcus and on drums Joey Shapiro. A little digging brought me info on Tony who started as guitar tech and filled the shoes in the middle of the Hungry tour for XYZ, he played with Stephen Pearcy in Arcade and Vicious Delite not to mention he was part of the Bullet Boys on and off.
Opening the set with "Come On And Love Me" Terry Ilous proves to have a voice you will always recognize and that makes XYZ sound so unique. Having Tony Marcus shredding on the solo he came through right from the get go, he sounded awesome. With another single "Maggy" of their 1989 Don Dokken produced debut album XYZ blasting through the Rock City you see the experience these LA Rockers have getting the people to sing along, clapping as well. Fontaine was moving around all over the place, while Ilous was front and center and Marcus would come forward take the spotlight for his solos. I have to say they worked the stage better than most Euro-bands so far. With the more groovy "Off To The Sun" coming from the 1991 Hungry the pace is once again set followed by "What Keeps me Loving You." The Southern bluesy, slooowww down… "Follow the Night" mellowed everybody out a bit. This provided the perfect time for Terry Ilous and Tony Marcus to grab a couple of acoustic guitars and play "After The Rain. " Which Ilous dedicated to wife number two, Ilous laughed at this, the moment caused goose bumps and provide a beautiful ballad backed up by the Firefest folks . These guys could do an all-acoustic set if it was up to a lot of people. Ilous asks the audience what the wanted to hear next and settles on "Souvenirs." They should definitely do an acoustic CD. Everybody is loving it so much groupies are coming on to the stage, oh wait a minute, the girls of Firefest are on stage with a birthday cake for Pat Fontaine, yes how cool is that and only on Firefest. "Face Down In The Gutter" was taken a bit to literary and brought a little scare as a lady was lifted out of the front row fainted. Topping it of the set was "Inside Out," because once again the time frame was a problem, they skipped "Don't Say No." I wish they had played for 2 hours, XYZ is a great band who obviously enjoy themselves on stage and love to kick ass.
What an amazing day it has been so far and last year it was hard to top Mitch Malloy's set but now he has to at least match XYZ's. Ok here is some math for you, Lionville minus Lars Säfsund now ad Mitch Malloy and yes that is almost the band performing tonight. Opening with "Mission Of Love" was a sure bet followed by "Falling To Pieces" the band was hot again. Mario Percudani shredded like his life depended on it, Anna Portalupi putting laid down the bass grooves, with skin-beater Alessandro Mori, not to be confused with Alessandro del Vecchio on keyboards. del Vecchio proved the importance even more on backing vocals as with the next song "Stranded In The Middle of Nowhere." Malloy's vocals went a little bit over the top and it became clear that he could not match his own performance from 2011 Firefest. It seemed his backup band clicked and had developed chemistry after their performance last year. It looked more like Malloy's backing band, that is a weird development to be noticed.
The performance of "I Still Love You" and "It's All About Love" wasn't bad , it is was good but fans expect sensational. "Our Love Will Never Die" Malloy took a shot at the title, and was getting closer to last year's performance. He left the stage after "Forever" with and received a nice response returning with close friend Buno Ravel of Danger Danger fame on bass to perform "Shine" and of course with his biggest hit "Anything At All" Malloy couldn't lose. Ending with what I call the goodbye song "All My Friends, " Malloy performance was not flawless but respectable. Mitch Malloy is still performance was still topnotch when compared with a lot of other bands but I guess he is a victim of his own brilliance.
Headlining the Saturday night Swiss rockers Gotthard, the first gig with Nic Maeder replacing the Brilliant Steve Lee. We all know what happened, so we are not going in to that. Loud cheers when Gotthard was announced and Leo Leoni founder, guitarist of the band, is the first to be seen on stage, shredding the riff for the track off of Lip Service "Dream On." I could not help after the curtain was dropped to have an awkward feeling, not something I had planned but looking around me I was not the only one. Going straight in to the Domino Effect's "Gone Too Far" was a good thing , leaving no time for thinking, just time for rocking. Maeder has an amazing voice , yes with a likeness to Steve Lee 's voice, which works well and is unbelievable for the fans. Having heard the new release Firebirth and to deliver on CD is one thing but to also perform in the shadow of the legacy of somebody else has to be hard, but after two songs everybody is convinced, Gotthard is alive and well.
The band is as solid as a rock, Freddy Scherer on guitar, as well Hena Habegger on drums and Marc Lynn on bass are a well-oiled rock machine. They brilliantly went in to their new single "Starlight" and the audience provided plenty of singing and clapping. The overall energy was there making the rock concert special. What better way to spend an evening with about a little under 2000 friends right? I would say they are "On Top Of The World " With the song "Remember It's Me" with Nic Maeder playing acoustic guitar, I saw some girls have trouble, oh wait, yes and guys, keep their eyes completely dry, it is a beautiful compliment for a musician to touch people like that.
The audience was loving it all and after "Sister Moon" from the G album and a new one "Fight" from Firebirth, they played their first single from the debut Gotthard album. They also played Deep Purple's "Hush" which invigorated the crowd some more. Then it was time for the beautiful "One Life, One Soul," which Maeder dedicated to Steve Lee. Stating that every time he sings this song it feels like the first time all over again, he asked everybody to help him sing this song… for Steve together. Only accompanied by keyboards, this gave me goose bumps all over again, it seemed to be emotional for many, however Rock City was up for that task.
To keep it down a bit the ballad of Firebirth "Shine" was perfect to switch in to the much ballsier "The Story's Over" and "Fist In Your Face" from G of course was all well received and again a new one song, "Give Me Real," with Leon on a double neck guitar going at it, the guys were really enjoying themselves. After announcing the next song "Mountain Mama" off the Dial Hard CD, Leoni was messing around playing some AC/DC, Deep Purple before going in to the song, hmm a gimmick they do at every show , I wonder.
With another new gem "Right On" with Leoni playing the voice box and guitar, the new album got a fair amount of play on the set list tonight. The set ending with "Lift U Up" from Lip Service. Leo Leoni and Freddy Scherer faced each other like being in a Mexican standoff at the beginning of the song, they definitely kick some serious ass and the solo from Freddy Scherer was stunning. With the "whoohooo 's" blasting through The Rock City, people jumping up and down, the roof was on fire and Gotthard blew it right off. The encore wasn't even a questionable one, the band played from Domino Effect the splendid up tempo "Master Of Illusion."
Gotthard finished with the kill shot with "Anytime, Anywhere" from Lip Service. Leoni took center stage with the guitar solo and a perfect performance came to an end. It was not without also some emotional moments on stage. Gotthard, specially Leo Leoni, had some watery eyes himself after hearing the cheering of the Firefest crowd and it also will be a memorial night and highlight for them. Again having to deal with curfew the lights go went on and another perfect night is gone.

BMC Racing Team's Cadel Evans finished third on the summit finish of Green Mountain at the Tour of Oman to climb into second overall with two days of the race to go.
Evans Feeling Satisfied
Evans, who was celebrating his 36th birthday Thursday, finished 22 seconds behind solo stage winner Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) and 18 seconds after runner-up Christopher Froome (Sky Procycling). The 2011 Tour de France winner was five seconds in front of 2012 Vuelta a España winner Alberto Contador (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) and 14 seconds ahead of 2010 Vuelta winner Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team), who was fifth on the stage. "I've come here with an open mind, knowing I've trained well in the offseason and leading into this," Evans said. "But it is my first race and my first real test of the year. I'd say I'm very satisfied. I couldn't have asked more from myself." In the overall standings, Evans is 24 seconds behind 2012 Tour de France runner-up and new race leader Froome – who displaced Peter Sagan (Cannondale) – and one second ahead of third-placed Contador. BMC Racing Team's Yannick Eijssen (10th, 1:09 behind) and Steve Cummings (13th, 1:18 behind) were also in the top 15 on the stage.
Bookwalter In The Break
Brent Bookwalter laid the groundwork for the BMC Racing Team's assault on the final climb by being part of a five-rider breakaway that escaped early in the 152.5 kilometer stage and gained a four-and-a-half minute lead before being caught in the final kilometers. "The whole team deserves big applause today," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "Having Brent in the break was easy for us because Saxo-Tinkoff, Sky and Astana had to chase all day and we were able to save our guys." Eijssen said a rigorous training schedule since November paid off. "This was the first day I could test myself and it proved I was good," he said. "The finish was really intense because the stage wasn't so hard before the climb, so everyone was fresh. I went pretty deep." Lelangue said Friday's 144 km race that includes three climbs will be the last chance to shake up the standings. "If there are some breakaways going and we can place one of our guys who is not too far on the general classification, he can be a threat for the leaders and they will have to work," Lelangue said.

Miami Beach Condos and Booking Tours With an Experienced Agent
You work hard, and when you come home, you can reward yourself with luxury living like Josh Stein's St Regis Bal Harbor condos. You can do that by first touring the Miami beach condos for sale. When you work with an experienced realtor in Miami, you are in good hands. That's because an experienced agent knows the area well, will listen to what you want and need from your property, and he will book his tours based on that information. So, if you're looking for luxury condos, you will not be disappointed on your tours. You will find the features that will make your life more enjoyable. These features include, but are not limited to, amazing views, ample space and a spa-like master bedroom.
How important is having outdoor space to you? The best South Beach condos feature ocean views from the terrace. Further, if you are worried about fitting an outdoor dining set on the terrace, do not worry. You will find that some of the best condos feature 10-foot-deep terraces. Thus, you will have plenty of room for your outdoor furniture. For this reason, there is no need to shy away from inviting your friends over for cocktails on the terrace.
There are other aspects of your property search that you must consider. For example, you may be interested in touring South Beach condos that have a 24-hour fitness center. If you enjoy taking care of your body or running off the pressures of the day at the gym, you will love touring the fitness centers at the best communities. It is there that you will find the right exercise equipment to help you get in shape or maintain your physical fitness or burn off the stress from your workday.
Now is the best time to speak to an experienced real estate agent. Tell the agent that you are interested in touring what is on the market today. He will be thrilled that you took the time to call, and he will tell you about the Miami condos for sale. It will not be long before you start touring the properties in person. So, make your call now and get ready to tour Miami beach condos.

The perceived area encompassed by a soundscape, either an actual environment, or an imagined one such as produced with a tape recording and several loudspeakers. Every sound brings with it information about the space in which it occurs (for environmental sound) or is thought to occur (as with synthesised sound). With environmental sound, loudness and the quality of reverberation mainly determine the kind of space that is perceived, enclosed or open, large or small. The sense of speeding motion is usually perceived by the presence of a Doppler Effect. (Reduction of Barry Truax - Handbook for Acoustic Ecology CD-ROM Edition. Cambridge Street Publishing, 1999 - CSR-CDR 9901)
