Laconia Airport & Hawk Squadron of N.H. Civil Air Patrol nurturing future aviation leaders
LACONIA — It's a quiet, mid-winter night at the Laconia Municipal Airport. Windy and cold, the general aviation community definitely has better things to be doing on a windswept Thursday night than fly through the mountain ranges of the Lakes Region area. By all accounts, the airport should be quiet and empty, so it's a contradiction to see the airport aglow with lights and activity. Packed with about 13 young adults in their Civil Air Patrol cadet uniforms, the airport is alive with marching, saluting and drill routines, engaging the teens who have braved tonight's winter weather.
The Laconia Airport is home to the Hawk Composite Squadron of the New Hampshire Civil Air Patrol Wing, one of nine squadrons around the state. Every Thursday beginning at 6:30 p.m., up to 29 young men and women arrive at the airport. A youth program not unlike others in the area, the Civil Air Patrol (or CAP) cadet program differs in that it focuses exclusively on aviation. In the program, youth from the ages of 12 to 21 serve as the junior arm of the Civil Air Patrol, the United States Air Force Auxiliary. According to the organization's website, the cadet "program allows young people to progress at their own pace through a 16-step" curriculum of "aerospace education, leadership training, physical fitness" and character development.
"This program builds confidence and develops relevant skills," states Diane Terrill, who is airport's general manager. "Each week, I watch these kids come in and a tackle a new objective for the evening. They are committed to building each other up along their paths of exploration. It's a great experience for all of them and the Laconia Airport is proud to have the facilities to serve as home base for the Hawk squadron."
Terrill is referring to the main terminal, where the cadet's are practicing one of the many drills they've learned throughout their time in the program. According to one cadet, he's been able to take his love for sailing and transfer it into the cadet program with the Civil Air Patrol. "I've been involved with CAP since I was in 8th grade," stated Riley Woods, a Belmont High School sophomore. "I always loved to sail and fly, and I knew that celestial navigation between the two types of craft were pretty similar so when I came to a few meetings to find out if the program might interest me, I was hooked right away."
The broad reaching program allows for most individual interests to be satisfied, especially if they're aviation driven. Whether it's photography, astronomy, flying and flight training or even survival training, there's something for young adults participating in the Civil Air Patrol youth program, including the opportunity to fly in an airplane during a summer camp program!
There are many rewards for the young participants. For those who continue with the program until the end of high school, the Civil Air Patrol offers academic and aviation scholarships. All cadets are eligible for 10 orientation flights: five in powered aircraft and five glider flights. Participants who become a cadet officer (or a Cadet 2 Lt.) must pass rigorous leadership and aerospace education tests, engage in physical conditioning and training, and attend a minimum number of character development classes during eight different achievement phases. But before they earn the title, they must pass both comprehensive leadership and aerospace tests as well as a review board. Finally, a cadet who goes on to enter the Air Force, they may do so at the Enlisted 3 level (instead of Enlisted 1), which has specific pay advantages.
Another step beyond the weekly CAP meetings is the Honor Guard program within the Civil Air Patrol. The Honor Guard has a very specific focus and requires an added level of commitment from Civil Air Patrol youth cadets. This select group meets an additional day of the week for three extra hours, and must maintain their grade point average and other academic commitments in order to be accepted into the program. Their mission is four-fold. The first is to provide precision riflery in both drill exercises and ceremonies, much like that of the U.S. Air Force drill team. The second is to seek out opportunities to be positive role models to those within the community. Supporting families of fallen soldiers through ceremonial funeral processions is the third element of their mission and lastly, to embrace all aspects of ceremonial flag etiquette. Nothing speaks to this element more than the efforts of the Honor Guard over the holidays as they participated in Wreaths Across America, helping to place holiday wreaths at headstones in veterans cemeteries.
Brendan Drew, a senior at Plymouth Regional High School, is a Civil Air Patrol cadet who began his affiliation with the program only 12-months ago. When asked what he most enjoys about CAP, he says it has given him a small taste of what he believes basic training will be like when he (hopefully) heads off to the Air Force Academy to which he just applied. On a recent night, Brendan and the other cadets were seen engaged in their annual fitness test in the terminal building of the Laconia Airport, which benchmarks the physical condition of each of them. With stopwatches in hand and orange cones marking off a path, each cadet took turns sprinting through the terminal in an attempt to capture their best individual time, with echoes of encouragement from their peers sounding throughout the airport. Physical conditioning is important since each cadet is expected to maintain good health to insure optimal strength and agility should they be called to serve. The Hawk Squadron cadets were recently on stand-by to provide some strenuous and critical community support. They were about to be dispatched to a neighboring community, tasked with providing search assistance over rough terrain in an attempt to help locating a senior citizen stricken with Alzheimer's Disease. Fortunately, the person was found but the cadet's were ready to go, thanks to their weekly conditioning and training.
A community service project the cadets have been involved in is the annual Christmas Village. Held at the Laconia Community Center, Santa's Village offers area children an opportunity to visit with Santa. Since that coveted opportunity to wish for that special gift while sitting on Santa's knee comes with a long waiting line, local children could have their faces painted to ease the boredom of the wait thanks to the Civil Air Patrol cadets. The reindeer, snowmen and Rudolph noses that Brendan and Riley painted on the patient children brought squeals of delight to those who waited in long lines to visit with St. Nicolas!
"It's a joy to watch these kids develop," states Terrill. "I wish every young adult in the Lakes Region would come to the airport on a Thursday night to get a glimpse of the leadership skills and character development program the Civil Air Patrol has to offer. These are tremendous kids in their commitment to service."
The Hawk Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol invites interested youth to come to the airport on Thursday evenings to see what it is all about or to check the program out online at http://hawksquadron.nhcapcadets.org

Mass. man pleads guilty to rapes at New Hampton campground
LACONIA — A former auxiliary police officer in Whitman, Mass. was sentenced to serve five to 10 years in prison yesterday for digitally penetrating his 11- and 12-year-old granddaughters while on a family camping trip in Yogi Bear Camp Ground in New Hampton in August of 2014. One year of that sentence can be suspended for good behavior.
Irving Small, 70, was also sentenced to a second 10- to 20-year term — all suspended — provided he be of good behavior and complete a year-long sexual offender program while in the New Hampshire State Prison. Should he not complete the program, the 10-to 20-year sentence would be served consecutively to his first sentence.
"I'm totally ashamed of myself," Small said barely choking out the words through his tears. "I totally hurt my family."
Some members of Small's family were in the court room including his two victims. The girls' mother told O'Neill she accepted the sentence because she didn't want to put her children through a lengthy trial.
Small said he wanted to apologize to them however, after a side bar consultation between Assistant Belknap County Attorney Carley Ahern and Small's attorney Howard Clayman, O'Neill said Small could address the court but not look at the girls while he spoke.
"I want to tell my grandkids I'm very, very sorry," he said.
O'Neill wanted to know why he should accept such a light sentence when if Small had pleaded guilty to all four of the aggravated sexual assault charges he was initially indicted for, he could sent him to jail for up to 60 years.
Clayman said Small's health has suffered in the 192 days he has been incarcerated while awaiting trial. He said his client has high blood pressure, depression and has been treated at the hospital on more than one occasion. He has lost more than 50 pounds during that time.
He said Small has a stomach aneurism that will need surgery within a year and the surgery could be fatal.
"Five or four years could be a life sentence," Clayman said.
Clayman also noted that if Small is released from prison in New Hampshire he faces similar charges in Massachusetts.
"The (Commonwealth) of Massachusetts will deal with him how they will assuming he is alive," said Clayman.
The youngest of Small victim's had Belknap County Victim's Advocate Brenda Belmont read her statement to the court for her.
The girl told the court that she has nightmares and she used to cry everyday. She said sometimes she feels completely numb and that she is "sad when there is no reason to be."
She said she was learning to accept what had happened to her and "it will always be a bad memory of the past."
She also told O'Neill she would not let what happened to her define who she is.
After deliberating for a moment or too, O'Neill chose to accept the plea bargain.
He told Small that his "betrayal of his family was completely unacceptable" and that they have in some part forgiven him by not objecting to what he considers a light sentence.

Petitioned warrant articles would do away with Alton planner & assessor
ALTON — The Planning Board has placed seven amendments to the zoning ordinance on the 2014 warrant while petitioned articles would eliminate the position of town planner and secede the town from membership in the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC). A third article would do away with the position of town assessor.
Loring Carr, who chairs the Board of Selectmen, said that he was not aware of who initiated the petitioned articles, but said that there were some 40 signatories to all three.
Both the Selectboard, by votes of three-to-one, and the Budget Committee, by votes of five-to-zero with two abstentions, recommended against the articles to eliminate the positions of planner and assessor. Moreover, at the deliberative session amendments explaining the fiscal impact were attached to both articles.
Carr said that when the position of planner was vacant the town contracted for services in the interim, noting that the amendment drew on this experience to estimate that it would cost $120,120 plus mileage to hire a consultant, compared to the $64,040 plus benefits paid to the planner.
Carr suspected that the article, together with the other not to fund membership in the LLRPC, stemmed from the controversy sparked by the decision of the Planning Board to recommend amending the zoning ordinance to provide for the development of so-called workforce housing. The proposed amendment, which would bring the town into compliance with state law as well as match the housing goals of its Master Plan, is the first of the seven proposed by the Planning Board.
Two forums on the issue, sponsored by the Alton Business Association, were overshadowed by charges that LRPC, in league with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was seeking to impose an agenda of "smart growth" and "sustainable development" under the aegis of the "Granite State Future" project. Representative Jane Cormier (R-Alton), who this year introduced legislation to do away with all nine regional planning associations, was a featured speaker at the second forum and a signatory to the petitioned article.
The article to eliminate the assessor was also amended to explain the fiscal impact of replacing the position with a contractor. Carr said that information from Meredith, Moultonborough, Gilford and Wolfeboro indicated that the cost of contracting for assessing services would be $95,000 per year plus $125,000 every five years for a revaluation compared to the $68,599 plus benefits paid to the assessor.

Gilmanton School Board & teachers come to terms
GILMANTON — The School Board and the Gilmanton Education Association have tentatively agreed to a three-year collective bargaining agreement that includes a raise in salary and allows credit for experience ("step" increases) as well as an increase in the employee contribution to health insurance premiums.
The contract provides for a salary increase of approximately six percent over the three years, which includes in addition to salary longevity health insurance and fixed costs. The increases are 1.07-percent, or a total of $26,777, in the first year, 2.2-percent, or $55,562, in the second year, and 2.82-percent, or $72,825, in the third year.
With concern over the litigation surrounding the Local Government Center, the district has chosen to place its health insurance program with the only other available carrier, School Care. Consequently, the number of plans on offer was halved from four to two and the $1 mail order prescription rider was eliminated
Currently the premium contribution for employees enrolled in the two-person and family plans are 21 percent and 31 percent respectively while the school district pays the entire premium for those with single-person plans. Under the proposed contract employees would share premium costs for all plans, including the single-person plan.
These changes would reduce the district's share of health insurance costs by more than $23,800 in the first year and is expected to lead to further savings in subsequent years.
The agreement will appear as a warrant article when the town votes on Tuesday, March 11 at the Gilmanton Academy.

Updated: August 16, 2014 12:37PM
A 16-year-old girl was killed and another man was wounded in a drive-by shooting early Saturday in West Englewood.
The shooting happened about 12:50 a.m. in the 7200 block of South Laflin Street, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. The girl was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene, Greer said. The man, 20, was shot in the back and taken to Christ Medical Center where his condition had stabilized.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office identified the girl as Shaquise Buckner of the 1400 block of West 72nd Street.
An autopsy Saturday determined she died from a gunshot wound to the head, and her death was ruled a homicide, the medical examiner's office said.

Rochester Red Wings pitcher Trevor May has been named the Batavia Downs Gaming and Racetrack Player of the Week for the period of May 26-June 1, and also named International League Pitcher of the Week for the same period.
Over a pair of starts last week, May went 2-0 without allowing an earned run over 12 innings of work, earning victories over Syracuse (Monday) and Gwinnett (Saturday).
Over his last four starts -- all of which have come at Frontier Field - May is 4-0 and hasn't allowed an earned run. The 26-inning streak without yielding an earned run has dropped his ERA from 4.97 on May 7 to 2.62 - 7th best in the IL. Over the 4-game win streak, he's allowed just one run on 16 hits and 11 walks while striking out 19.
More on May:
May, 24, was a 4th round selection of the Phillies in 2008. In 2011 he was Philadelphia's Minor League Pitcher of the Year, and each of the past two seasons he led the Double-A Eastern League in strikeouts. The Longview, Wash. native was traded to Minnesota prior to the 2013 season as part of the deal for Ben Revere.
Batavia Downs Racetrack and Batavia Downs Gaming present the award each week during the regular season. Batavia Downs Gaming is a Video Gaming Center owned and operated by Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation in association with the New York Lottery. Western OTB is a public benefit corporation in the State of New York.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (Google eBook)
Random House Publishing Group, Nov 16, 2010 - Biography & Autobiography - 528 pages
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader's Circle for author chats and more.
In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.

All Menomonee Falls schools "exceed expectations," according to school district report cards that were released on Tuesday by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
All six district schools fell in the "exceeds expectations" category of DPI scoring. This is the second year the schools have fallen into this category. The Menomonee Falls School District scored 78.9 as a district on a scale of 0 to 100, 100 being the highest.
This is the second school year that the DPI has used a new rating system, which evaluates and issues report cards to Wisconsin public school districts. The scores are based on student performance on standardized tests, student growth over time on reading and math test scores, the ability of districts to close achievement gaps between lower and higher performing student groups, and student readiness for graduation and college. School and district report cards also factor in test participation rate, absenteeism and dropout rate.
Riverside Elementary scored the highest in the district with an 81. Riverside achieved a high rating in closing the gap when compared with other district elementary schools and the state average.
Ben Franklin scored the highest student achievement rating for the district's elementary schools. Shady Lane scored the highest level of student growth.
Continued emphasis on closing the gap at schools other than Riverside Elementary and improving student growth at North Middle School are areas the schools will focus on improving going forward, according to a news release from the Menomonee Falls School District.

Korea Navy
Gas Turbine Acceptance Test Completed for S. Korea Navy
Rolls-Royce has reached a milestone in the Republic of Korea Navy's FFX frigate program, with the successful completion of acceptance tests for the MT30 gas turbine. The MT30, which will power the FFX Batch II frigates, is the world's most power-dense marine gas turbine, meaning it packs in the maximum power into the smallest available space on board the ship, Rolls-Royce said. The FFX Batch II program is for eight ships, the first of which will be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME). With testing complete, the MT30 engine will be shipped to Korea, where Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) will integrate it into the steel enclosure which also houses the air inlets, exhausts and ancillary equipment, prior to installation in the ship. The factory acceptance test, which has to be completed before the gas turbine can be delivered, was carried out at the Rolls-Royce Test Facility in Bristol. It was put through a week of rigorous performance tests, witnessed by representatives from DSME, HHI and the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM). "The MT30 is becoming the gas turbine of choice for many of the world's major naval programs, with its inherent reliability and power density driving its selection. The FFX II program is significant in that it will be the first application for the MT30 outside of the UK and US markets, and also the first ship to use a single MT30, alongside diesels," Don Roussinos

About Virtual Machine Disks in Azure
Updated: July 14, 2014
Just like any other computer, virtual machines in Azure use disks as a place to store an operating system, applications, and data.
All Azure virtual machines have at least two disks – an operating system disk and a temporary disk. They also can have one or more data disks. The following diagram shows how these three types of disks appear from within a Windows virtual machine.
The operating system disk and all data disks are actually virtual hard disks (VHDs) located in an Azure storage account. (For details, see About VHDs in Azure). The temporary disk is not stored in Azure storage.
Information about each type of disk is as follows:
Operating system disk - Every virtual machine has one attached operating system disk. It's registered as a SATA drive and labeled as the C drive. This disk has a maximum capacity of 127 GB. When Azure creates an operating system disk, three copies of the disk are created for high durability. Additionally, if you configure the virtual machine for geo-replication, your VHD is also replicated at a distance of greater than 400 miles.
Note When troubleshooting issues on an operating system disk, you can attach the disk as a data disk to another running virtual machine to access the data on the disk and diagnose problems using the logs.
The temporary disk is automatically created for you. On Windows virtual machines, this disk is labeled as the D drive. On Linux virtual machines, the disk is typically /dev/sdb and is formatted and mounted to /mnt/resource by the Azure Linux Agent.
Important Don't store data on the temporary disk. This disk provides temporary storage for applications and processes and is used to store data that you don't need to keep, such as page or swap files. To remap this disk for a Windows VM, see Change the drive letter of the Windows temporary disk.
Data disk – A data disk is a VHD that can be attached to a running virtual machine to store application data, or other data that you need to keep. The maximum size of a data disk is 1 TB. Data disks are registered as SCSI drives and are labeled with a letter that you choose. The size of the virtual machine determines the number of disks that you can attach to it. For more information, see Virtual Machine Sizes for Windows Azure
For instructions on adding and removing data disks, see the following:
You choose from multiple ways to create disks depending on the needs of your application. For example, a typical way to create a disk is to use an image from the Image Gallery when you create a virtual machine and an operating system disk is created for you. A typical way for you to create a data disk is to attach an empty disk to a virtual machine and a new data disk is created for you. You can create a disk by using a .vhd file that has been uploaded or copied to a storage account that is related to your subscription. You can't use the portal to upload .vhd files, but you can use other tools that work with Azure storage to upload or copy the file.
You can upload a VHD that can be used as an operating system disk, or you can create a virtual machine from an image and a disk is created for you. This disk is a copy of a source .vhd file and the new copy is registered as an operating system disk.
You can upload and attach a data disk that already contains data to the virtual machine, or you can attach an empty disk to the machine.
Following are some considerations about disks in Azure.
The operating system disk and data disk each have a host caching setting (sometimes called host-cache mode) that can improve performance under some circumstances. However, these settings can negatively affect performance in other circumstances, depending on the application. Host caching is OFF by default for both read operations and write operations for data disks. Host-caching is ON by default for read and write operations for operating system disks. To change the setting in data disks, use the Set-AzureDataDisk cmdlet. To change it in operating system disks, use the Set-AzureOSDisk cmdlet.
Data loss may occur if you use striped volumes (Windows or Linux) in geo-replicated storage accounts. If a storage outage occurs that requires restoring data from a replicated copy, there is no guarantee that the write order of the stripe disk set would be intact once restored.
For both operating system disks and data disks, you can view a list of disks, add and delete disks, and update disks.
You can find the disks that are attached to a virtual machine by using either the dashboard or the Disks page of Virtual Machines in the Management Portal.
If you have not already done so, sign in to the Azure Management Portal.
Click Virtual Machines, and then select the appropriate virtual machine.
Click Dashboard. On the dashboard for the virtual machine, you can find the number of attached disks and the names of the disks. The following example shows one data disk attached to a virtual machine:
Note The temporary local disk is not listed in the disks section.
If you have not already done so, sign in to the Azure Management Portal.
Click Virtual Machines, and then click Disks. This page shows a list of all disks that are available to use with virtual machines, and it shows the disks that are being used by virtual machines. The list is a combination of operating system disks and data disks. To differentiate between the two types of disks, review disk information in the dashboard.
Note When you attach a new data disk to a virtual machine, you can provide a name for the .vhd file that is used for the disk, but Azure provides a name for the disk. The name consists of the cloud service name, the virtual machine name, and a numeric identifier.
You can delete operating system disks and data disks if you do not need them anymore. To delete an operating system disk, you can delete it when you delete the virtual machine. You can delete a data disk after you detach it from the virtual machine, unless you're also deleting the virtual machine.
If you have not already done so, sign in to the Azure Management Portal.
Click Virtual Machines, and then click Disks.
Select the disk that you want to delete, and then click Delete Disk.
See the following resources for more information about managing disks:
Windows Azure cmdlets for deploying and managing Virtual Machines – provides information about working with disks by using Windows Azure PowerShell.
Windows Azure command-line tool for Mac and Linux – provides information about working with disks by using the Azure command-line tool for Mac and Linux.
Operations on Virtual Machine Disks – provides information about working with disks by using the Service Management APIs.

The undercurrent that my son is back Stateside colors my world with happiness whatever else was going on. A couple of IMs with him last night revealed he was still stuck in transit, but moving closer to his in-processing base. And tucked up at a hotel for the night.
But there is also my starting the Couch to 5K training program yesterday. I really did it! Workout 1 of Week 1 of the program on this web site:
It felt good. I monitored my heart rate and did it on the treadmill with an incline level 1 (which my treadmill instructions tell me will closer approximate flat walk/jogging outdoors). I resisted the temptation to do more than the plan, except I did do a little more cool down walking, because I am accustomed to a 30 minute workout and want to continue to be.
I ate well yesterday, too... none of those anxiety slips I've been having on weekends of late. You can't keep doing that sort of thing and expect to maintain! Once in a while, maybe, but not every week.
Finally, I went to bed early and got a full 8 hours sleep. So here I am, ready to take on the work week. And grateful for the good I've experienced and read from others over the past couple of days.
This will be a good day!
I am awake. Because my cell phone started singing at me at 2:30 a.m. Phone calls at this hour are not generally good news. My sleep-fuzzy brain figured it was probably a wrong number... they often are at that hour.
Then I got to it, and the phone, which had quit ringing, proclaimed the call to be from my son. I hit redial of course... and got his wife. Of course. His phone has been forwarded ever since he left the country. She said she was already awake, and that he's in Maine.
I hung up, and it said I had voice mail... picked up the message, and he said he'd tried the house phone first and got a busy signal. I picked up the house phone, and dead air! I had to unplug every phone in the house at once, and then replug them in to get a dial tone back. But I missed the phone call. And I don't think I'll be going back to sleep soon.
Too happy, just knowing he's another step closer to home.
It's one p.m. and so far I feel terrific about my Saturday. It's been actively busy and productive... and somehow it's easy to like myself when I do things first, and don't put them off for later!
I mailed things and took the dog for a walk, and stopped at the bank on the way. We meandered through the park on the way back. Then I walked all the way to Target (about a mile and a half each way). On the way there I started with the jog/walk rotation recommended by a Couch To 5K program's "workout 1, week 1" because I was feeling I have to get serious about this Fort Hood 5K, it's only 11 weeks away and my training has NOT been very consistent so far.
I couldn't do the jog/walk rotation on the way home, because I had things to carry and was not balanced enough to do the runs. But I had 11,000 steps on the pedometer before 10 a.m.
Since I'd bought things intended for a care package to Afghanistan, I packed that up, and took it to the post office to mail. A friend of my son's is a nurse over there and they need baby bottles for the refugees that come into the clinic. So... being cut off from my mom-ly rotation of sending boxes to him, I'll send stuff to others in need!
Then I invested in a new pair of running shoes. Like I said, time to get serious about this training! And picked up some healthy food to stock my cupboards. So... I'm all set for the week ahead, and feeling virtuous. I could even consider the concept of a... nap!
Have a wonderful weekend, all!
Yesterday I completely forgot that the director was providing lunch. Of course these things are never healthy foods, but I usually make do by packing my healthy snacks and eating a salad before I head down. Last year I planned in advance and took my own chips (smaller bag with counts I trusted). Given I forgot, I packed my normal healthy lunch and snacks. I ended up leaving lunch and the afternoon snacks in the 'fridge for today.
They provided hot dogs in white rolls, baked beans, various toppings for the hot dogs, chips, and sweetened tea and lemonade. There was a cheesecake sale (for charity) and a bake sale (also for charity) concurrent. My friend caught me to go down early as her lunch time is earlier than mine. I had eaten my mid-morning snacks, so I wasn't ravenous.
I had the hot dog, skipped the beans, picked the least fat grams chips bag (baked, multi-grain), and had a little chili and some chopped onions on the hot dog. Skipped the sweetened drinks and the dessert. Still felt pretty full, but not bad for being a trifle blind sided.
On the son front: I got to exchange IM's with him after work last night (for me) which would have been the middle of the night where he is. I commented on his being up late. He responded that he's trying to re-adjust time zones in advance. He is in a holding spot for a while yet, but he's moving in the right direction - one step closer to home. My mom-gut feels so much better, and I'll deal with the uncertainty of timing.
Today's adventure is the dentist. Keep that smile intact.
I'm not sure I'll ever understand fully the "why" of the years of getting close to fit and back-sliding. But it is a reality of my history that I have tried again and again to get to where I am today... and managed not to stay here.
Some elements / pitfalls:
1. Thinking you're done, just because you reached a number on the scale or achieved an athletic goal.
2. Injuries, and not recovering well.
3. Losing focus as something else in life became more urgent and old stress-coping habits take over.
4. Boredom and rebellion.
5. Over-doing it and having your body scream "You're starving me" and go into self-preservation mode.
I think elements of these have plagued me several times. This is on my mind because three years ago yesterday was the "Feather Woman Invitational" - my joke informal triathlon that I invited my four siblings to participate in with me. It was an attempt on my part to keep the fitness gains I had achieved over the year and a half leading up to then... and over the course of the next six months I continued to try a lot of things to "keep motivated".
I tried participating in motion studies based on my then weight and height. I tried going a month without sugar. I tried Overeaters Anonymous because I was having periodic binges that scared me. I tried a volunteer coaching program that my work place and a local university sponsored. But I was slipping, and I knew it. I added one goal too many to the top, and then I tripped over the dog and messed up my toes and it hurt to walk! And all my "things to do" just got to be too much.
I spent a year and a bit in a huge emotional and motivational downward spiral. And my weight went the other way. It wasn't until my daughter in law started doing something about her own weight / fitness that I came along for the ride, a year ago last May. I was skeptical... but my goal was simple: I wanted to get back to that level of fitness I had in August 2007. I loved being fit. I wanted to get it back. I didn't care what the scale would say (OK, maybe a bit) I mostly cared about how I felt.
Today, I can honestly say that I have it back. I could use some further conditioning to get to true 5K shape, but I feel fit and able. One amazing thing about this particular time "around the block" is that I didn't stay in that depressed heavy spot AS LONG. My doctor helped. My daughter in law helped. The weight loss professionals helped.
Spark People helped, too, finding an amazing group of fellow travelers. I learned I won't die if I write something that says I wasn't perfect. I learned I actually get support if I write of my discouragement. I learned that reading their blogs and thinking and commenting on them boosted my own motivation and resolve, too.
Life is changing, as it always does. I can feel the change in seasons coming on. There will be challenges ahead: physical, emotional, mental, financial, spiritual. There always are. I believe the key to staying "here"... in that good spot of functional fitness... is to keep it a priority. Recognize how important it really is to me, and not let other distractions interfere with what I need to do to stay in shape for whatever life throws my way.
Here's to living today! And here's to having fellow travelers and kindred spirits for the journey! We can do this, we can be fit for life. Because life needs us, and we need it. And we're worth it!

New FootJoy Campaign Features Tour Pros As Superheroes
Published January 8, 2002
In a "major departure from golf product advertising," Acushnet's FootJoy brand broke this past weekend on ESPN's coverage of the PGA Tour's Mercedes Championship an "innovative, $5[M] animated campaign, via Arnold Communications, Boston, with a 60-second spot," according to Chuck Stogel of BRANDWEEK. Produced by J.J. Sedelmaier, whose credits include various skits on "Saturday Night Live," ("SNL") the ad "features 11 FootJoy tour pros who become transformed with superhuman powers via the use of FootJoy shoes, gloves and outerwear." Illustrations of the "golf superheroes" including Phil "Lefty" Mickelson, Brad "Faxman" Faxon, Colin "Lord Monty" Montgomerie and Vijay "Captain Fiji" Singh are "combined with actual player voiceovers in a cartoon-like scenario." FootJoy Dir of Brand Marketing Rob Kelley: "PGA Tour pros are sort-of icons, and animation as we've seen in 'Shrek,' 'The Simpsons' and 'Monsters Inc.' appeals to all audiences now." Stogel reports that FootJoy will follow the 60-second ad with a 30-second ad later in the first quarter. Three new 30-second spots will come later this year. The campaign, to run throughout '02 on broadcast and cable golf coverage, replaces FootJoy's "Sign Boy" effort (BRANDWEEK, 1/7 issue). In N.Y., Stuart Elliott writes the campaign, which is estimated at $5-10M, is "deliberately over-the-top" and "seeks to evoke the wickedly pointed humor of a popular segment of ['SNL']." Also, the effort is "indicative of the increasing influence of popular culture on Madison Avenue and vice versa particularly when, as in this instance, the ads are aimed at younger consumers." FootJoy President Jim Connor: "Golf has taken itself too seriously to a degree. The game is all about having fun, enjoyment, and the idea it's a life-and-death struggle is far removed from the average golfer." Elliott notes that in addition to TV spots, the campaign includes print ads "with a comic book look and pages on the brand's Web site," at www.footjoy.com. One "big reason" FootJoy approved the campaign is that "the 'Golf Gods' approach enables Arnold to show more of the brand's golf pros and products in a single commercial or print ad" (N.Y. TIMES, 1/8).

Injury ends football career, but leads to innovation
|| Print |
|Articles - November 2010
|Thursday, October 21, 2010
The pro football draft day of 1994 was the worst day of Brian Cassidy's life. Once ranked among the top prospects in the nation, Cassidy watched as player after player was drafted and he was overlooked.
Cassidy went from hot property to liability as the result of a fluke knee injury on the last game of his college career at Stanford University followed by a back injury suffered during rehabilitation. His only option was to cash out his Lloyds of London insurance policy for catastrophic coverage and sign his name to the painful statement that he could never play football for money because of his injuries.
Rather than bemoan his luck, Cassidy decided to build something positive from his experiences. "It was all or nothing for me," he says. "There had to be a system that other people could benefit from so they wouldn't have to go through what I went through."
Fifteen years later Cassidy runs Adapt Training, a fitness business in Beaverton with 16 full-time employees and clients ranging from wheelchair rugby players and pro-football stars to patients suffering from neurological disorders. He is also forming a growing number of partnerships with gyms and clubs intrigued with his approach to therapy, fitness and athletic training.
Tall and articulate, with cropped hair and a tight goatee, Cassidy moves with an easy grace that seems unlikely for someone who weighs 310 pounds. He chuckles while explaining that one of the reasons he designed his own machines in his gym was because he broke so many machines during his workouts.
The Adapt gym does not look or feel like other gyms. Cassidy describes it as "my own bubble world." It is an open, well-lighted space with stairs to climb, barriers to vault over and crawl under, ropes to scale, and mats to lie down on and use all the muscles you have and a few you didn't know you had. It isn't heavy on weights or weight machines, which Cassidy sees as capable of doing more damage than good. It's more like a playground for adults, to get them to use all of their muscles dynamically, the way children do.
Everything he teaches his clients and staff serves as an antidote to the flawed process that the 39-year-old Cassidy believes cost him a lucrative career in the pros. After he heard his knee snap at the end of a meaningless play in a lopsided game, he went through a training regimen he sees as riddled with errors. He wore a bulky brace that prevented him from retraining the injured joint. As soon as he could handle weight he was lifting huge amounts, squatting 450 pounds. When his back began to spasm he was told that was normal. Specialists bombarded him with contradictory information. A doctor declared him ready for action after watching him do one simple physical maneuver. Before long he had two ruptured disks and was nearly paralyzed and devouring painkillers. The only option was a second surgery with no games played in between, a deal breaker for pro teams scouting fresh talent.
His football career over, Cassidy went on a quest to find a training program that made sense. He worked with a trainer in San Diego named Pete Egoscue, who taught him the importance of proper alignment and a holistic approach to training. He later added elements of chiropractic manipulation, child psychology, massage, yoga, Pilates and other disciplines, focusing on results rather than ideology. He and his wife, Kirsten, launched their business out of a spare bedroom in their Beaverton home, started a small gym in 1999 and expanded into a much larger space in 2004. Revenues have doubled since 2005, and grew by 23% between 2007 and 2009.
After years of experimentation and refinement, Cassidy has built a training system around the core principles of range of motion, structural capacity, neuro function, muscular function and instinct. Cascade Athletic Club has adopted his system, the Windells Snowboard Camp at Mt. Hood is considering it, and other potential licensees have shown interest on the East Coast and in Hawaii.
"I'm looking forward to taking the business to the next level," says Cassidy. "The only thing we're struggling with now is how to manage our growth."
