The Legend Class is an annual concours competition, for first and second generation Camaros, and is based on progressive improvement over a one to three year
period. Entrants compete against a maximum number of points available for their particular car, and not against other cars in the class. Cars to be considered must
have all original VIN tags and cowl tags in place and those tags must be fully readable, and unaltered. Likewise, all numbered components will be checked to be sure
that they are correct for that model and year Camaro. To score well, all major components of the drive train will be original to the car. Most entrants to this class
will be full frame off restorations, or original low mileage, unmolested unrestored cars.
There are two divisions to Legend...Restored and Unrestored. Most entrants will be in the resored division. Cars which are true survivors - cars that have been virtually untouched, and maintained for safety only, are canditates for the Unrestored division. Again, all numbers, components and finishes will be evaluated in both divisions.
If interested in this class, contact A.C.A. or the Camaro Nationals as soon as possible, as space is limited to returning Camaros plus a limited number of new entries. Space is limited in this class based on the number of qualified judges available, and the extreme length of time it takes to evaluate the cars. The show producers reserve the right to determine the exact number of cars and their generations based on the above factors. Accepted entrants may request a blank copy of the scoring sheet to assist in final preparation of their car. All owners wishing to compete in this class must complete a pre-qualification form listing appropriate part numbers and manufacturing dates of various parts from their Camaro. This form will be used to help determine the accuracy of the restoration and will become part of the judging file. Actual acceptance of a Camaro into the class will be based on:
The tech inspection is held to confirm operation of all components and options that are installed on the car, (liquid tire chains will not be deployed, if installed), and to confirm that the car appears to have been restored to class standards. Although the above steps are designed to help insure that accepted Camaros are likely to exceed the minimum requirements of the class, there are no assurances. If the technical inspection brings up any major concerns about the Camaro not being up to concours standards, the car may move to Bow Tie class before actual judging begins, and have the monetary difference refunded.
Class Number Breakdown for Legends:
61 Legend Class - 1967 - 1969 Original Unrestored Camaros
Actual Judging Information for Legends Class
The owner or the Camaro must be available during the time of judging in order to drive the car between the staging area, body judging area, and the lift, for chassis judging. The Camaro must obviously be able to move under it's own power. Judges and show staff wil not move or drive the Camaro. Owner should also be available to assist or answer questions of the judges concerning specific areas of the restoration. Questions from the owners should be kept to a minimum during the judging, as such questions can break a judges concentration, and extend the already lengthy time of judging the class. Questions are best addressed after the show, when the owner has the final score sheet in hand. Often the questions take care of themselves when the score sheet is reviewed.
Any and all displays must be removed from the car during the judging, as judges will need to full access to the car. Camaros will be judged based on the accepted condition of the cars as they would have been at the time of final inspection at Van Nuys or Norwood assembly plants. Points will be deducted for factory installed options or accessories that were not available for that year Camaro. "Burden of Proof" of availability of said option rests with the owner of the car. Judges will have final word on scoring of non-original equipment that is deemed added for safety reasons. In no case should this additional equipment alter the natural stock appearance of the car.
Legends Scoring System
The Legend system is broken down into five areas; operation, exterior, interior, chassis/mechanical systems, and bonus points.
Each of the first four areas is further broken down into the individual components to be checked. Each component then has two point scores. One for its originality, and one for its condition. Parts and components that are judged to be original will receive full point credit for originality, no matter what condition they are in. Condition points will then be applied based on its level of quality, detail, or restoration. Some originality points must be assigned in order for a particular part/component to receive any condition points. As condition points are assigned independently, the highest possible score for an item/component would arise from an unquestionably original part in like new condition. The maximum available condition points will not be awarded for "over restored" items, or items that are beautified beyond the original appearance of the part as it was assembled at the Norwood or Van Nuys plants. It is generally recommended that good original parts be cleaned and detailed as necessary, and then reinstalled, unless an even better replacement part can be located. Reproduction items should only be used when an existing part is virtually destroyed or missing, and good used or NOS replacements are not available.
Bonus points are given for certain forms of documentation pertaining to the car. Examples are the original window sticker, build sheet, protect-o-plate, dealer invoice, etc. The number of bonus points is limited. It is recommended that quality color photocopies be brought along for judging purposes, with the actual documentation kept in a safe place away from the car, for possible inspection if required. We do not want to risk loss or damage of original paperwork during the judging process.
Legends Scoring Results
As stated previously, this is a progressive improvement system, which can take up to three years to complete. It is directed at a finale of a near-perfect Camaro achieving in excess of 95% of it's attainable score. This percentage will be the car's points assigned, plus any bonus points; compared to the maximum number of points available for that car. In order to place, cars must achieve a minimum score of 82% of the points available for their car.
83.0% - 87.99% will receive a Bronze Award
As stated previously, when a car scores 95% or above, it has fullfilled the designs of the class and does not need to return. Some car owners may choose to return within the three year window, and attempt to achieve the Platinum Award, even though they have fullfilled the needs of the class.
When a Camaro receives an award in the Legend class, it is designated a 'Heritage' Camaro. With that designation, it will not be eligible for showing in the standard judging classes for a period of five years, but will be eligible to show in any display or any other special classes. Awards are presented to the owner of record at time of judging. If a Camaro that is enrolled in the Legend system is sold, the new owner can continue in the system uninterrupted, as the scoring is tied to the VIN number of the car, and not the owner of the car.
Scoring results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony, and a plaque presented. An engraved plate will be sent later, noting the year, model, VIN# of the Camaro, along with the registered owner's name & hometown. A copy of the car's scoring sheets will be forwarded to the owner about six weeks after the show.
If your Camaro is a concours quality resotration, we would love to see you in this class.

For Stanzi, it's stats, schmats
PHOENIX -- Ricky Stanzi put up gorgeous numbers this season. We're talking super model beautiful. Good enough for framing.
The Iowa quarterback'sĀ26 touchdown passes are third on Iowa's season list. He finished second in the Big Ten and 11th in the nation with a pass efficiency of 160.5. He threw just four interceptions, the fewest for an Iowa QB since Brad Banks threw just five in 2002.
"If you're just going off stats, then you'd say it's probably a pretty good season," the senior said after Iowa's Insight Bowl practice Wednesday. "But if you're going off record, it's not."
And therein lies the rub.
Stanzi finished with super model stats.ĀĀHeĀcompleted 210 0f 324 passes (nearly 65 percent) for 2,804 yards. He was a semifinalist for the national QB awards, the Maxwell Award and the Davey O'Brien Award.
The Hawkeyes finished 7-5 and go into the Insight Bowl matchup against No. 12 Missouri (10-2) looking to snap a three-game losing streak.
No, Stanzi isn't exactly in the framing mood.
"Last year, my stats were poor, but we had a great team that won a lot," Stanzi said. "This year, my stats were really good and our team didn't win as many games.
"What does that mean? I don't know. Do I care? No. And I'm not really worried about it, either. Our point as a team is to go out there and compete. That's the real thing."
What it definitely means is that it takes more than a QB with pretty stats to win.
There are a million theories out there for Iowa's collapse. From the defense allowing clutch, fourth-quarter TD drives to the two-minute offense clanking, Iowa struggled in November, winning just one of four games with losses by three, four and three points.
"Football is a crazy game," Stanzi said. "There are all sorts of ways to win and lose."
The Hawkeyes had more than their share of problems in November 2010.
"The thing I say about wins and losses, a lot of people involved," coach Kirk Ferentz said Wednesday. "It's not just offense, defense, special teams. There are a lot of things that go into winning and losing games. Quarterback performance is certainly important, but it's not the only story."
The 2010 stats were nice for Stanzi. They were a dream for any quarterback, especially compared to Stanzi's 2009 season. He admittedĀthe numbers his junior yearĀweren't what he wanted, 17 TD passes, 15 interceptions and a 56 percent completion rate.
"You want to play well, you want to have good stats. That's going to help your team win," he said. "You don't want to go out there and lay an egg. At the same time, the main focus isn't the stats, it's how you're competing as a team and how much effort you're putting in. Are you putting yourself on the line every day and holding yourself accountable?"
There's no stat for accountability, except maybe wins and losses. The aftermath the Hawkeyes experienced off the field in the last couple weeksĀare the stats that countĀtoward accountability.
Wide receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos was arrested for drug-related charges and essentially kicked off the team.ĀJohnson-Koulianos caught 46 passes and 10 TDsĀwhileĀbecoming the school's career leader in receptions and receiving yards.
Running back AdamĀRobinson,Āwho led the Hawkeyes in rushing for the second season, was suspended for the bowl game. Running back Jewel Hampton, who's been out since September with a torn ACL, left the team.
Maybe that's whatĀStanzi isĀreferring to.
"That's got to be our main measure right now," Stanzi said.
If someoneĀIowa football has said Johnson-Koulianos' name since his arrest, they haven't done it on the record.ĀIowa players have been schooled in how to handle the topic.
"We can only play with the guys we have here, so that's what we're working on," Stanzi said. "The guysĀhere, those are the guys wereĀgoing to play with. They're working hard everyĀday. That's going toĀgive us the best chance to win, practicing as hard as we can every single day with guysĀhere on the trip."
True freshman Marcus Coker will be the running back. He's rushed for 403 yards in six games. Wide receiver might be more of a committee deal, with seniors Colin Sandeman and Don Nordmann, sophomore Keenan Davis and freshman Don Shumpert.
Ferentz said he isn't worried.
"We're not worried about who's not here," Ferentz said. "We're worried about the guys here and they're going to do fine."
Stanzi was asked how he would evaluate his performance this season. He focused on the competing.
"The more you worry about the stats and the outcomes, the more you get tangled up in it," he said. "It just kind of pulls you down and doesn't let you compete the way you want to."So yes, if he throws a couple pick sixes and the Hawkeyes somehow win next Tuesday, he'd be good with that.

Several Craven organisations are doing their part to rejuvenate a declining bee population.
Hilary Fenten, from the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said that bees and pollinating insects were so important that various groups had come together to plant 22 traditional, hardy Yorkshire fruit trees and 100 hedge plants on the Tarn Moor estate, off Grassington Road, Skipton.
Hilary, who lives at Selside, said the planting was phase two of a Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust project, People in the Dales, and phase three would take place in early spring.
She added: "Because we are increasingly worried about the health and wellbeing of pollinating insects such as butterflies and bees, we plan to plant traditional Yorkshire fruit trees in public places. This will not only help the insects and look beautiful, but also supply free fruit for local people.
"In future we can look forward to the beauty of blossom in the spring, fruit in autumn, pots of honey and an attractive source of food for many more bees and other pollinating insects. The flora and fauna of Yorkshire are having a hard time and this is one way we can help to repair the damage to habitats done by humans.
"The Campaign to Protect Rural England has also been campaigning for many years to manage the road verges of Craven, so that flowers and the wildlife can use them as spaces to live in and reverse the dangerous decline in numbers and health. Bees need a better deal."
The land at Tarn Moor is owned by a trust and the tenants are Wharfedale Beekeepers, whose chairman, Simon Croker, is heading up the project.
The ground was cleared by offenders, who are learning rural skills, and the trees were planted by refugees who live in Leeds.
The trees were paid for by Skipton Rotary Club and a £500 donation from Skipton Building Society.

WWE RAW 12/10 Ratings Breakdown ~ The Deluxe Lounge
by, 12-13-2012 at 04:38 PM (4069 Views)
Welcome back, bloggers. You know how we do things here. Insert witty intro with a witty comment that tickles my ego cause I think I'm a lot more funny than people actually think I am. Insert over-dramatic sentence to lighten the mood and let you know we're here to have fun.
Alright. TIME TO FEED YOU SOME NUMBERS!
The December 10th WWE RAW did a 2.67 rating with 3.76 million viewers, the fourth lowest rating of the past 15 year. Alright alright, so again WWE picks up another below average rating. What else is new nowadays? Sure, its higher than last week's rating, but only by a small amount of six digit viewers. Insert rant here about how WWE needs to change otherwise ratings will get lower here and let's see what caused them to get a low rating THIS week.
The show opener with Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus and Big Show did a 2.78 opening quarter. That's usually the average amount of viewers to open up a 3-hour, so that's a good sign. Loved Ziggler's promo, until Sheamus and Show came out to screw it up and steal his spotlight. And of course, Sheamus had to get the one-up on Ziggler because, well, he just does. Sets up Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus for the EIGHTEENTH TIME -- no really this is their eighteenth match this year alone in 2012, go read about it in my previous blog -- and sets up John Cena vs. Big Show for the MILLIONTH time .... okay, the TWELFTH time if we're going to be accurate. How did those matches do? You probably already know, but read on anyways.
The segment with Vince McMahon and Vickie Guerrero plus R-Truth vs. Wade Barrett and the backstage segment with AJ Lee lost 41,000 viewers. Is it just me, or were these segments GOD AWFULLY short! I literally blinked and the match between R-Truth and Wade Barrett was over. Truth won, right? Fine with me. Watching AJ storm into the men's locker room to meet Cena and embarrass him was interesting. We got more awkward interaction with Vince McMahon influencing more of Vickie Guerrero's administrative choices for the show. I think this is where we announced the matches for the main event .... oh who cares? Do you? Good. Let's move on.
The tag team match with Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow vs. The Usos vs. Darren Young & Titus O'Neil vs. Primo & Epico lost 262,000 viewers. Okay, seriously. For one portion of the blog, screw the loss of viewers. I LOVED this match. Why? Cause this is the type of booking I wish WWE would do more. We had an underdog team in the Usos eliminate FORMER tag team champions, Epico and Primo; eliminate former number one contenders, Prime Time Players; and then ALMOST upset the Rhodes Scholars at the end but came up short. The crowd was dead when the match first started, but as soon as the Usos started wrecking shop, they got into the whole "Uuuu! Soooo!" shtick and it was great. So even though the Usos lost, they came out looking amazing and most likely got more fans to want to see them more. See what happens when you give people more opportunities WWE? You create interest for more wrestlers and have more people to work with in your THREE HOUR show so you don't have to keep giving it to Sheamus and Cena. Happy to see the Usos on TV and happy to see them getting some notice.
Alicia Fox vs. Eve Torres and the segment with CM Punk and Paul Heyman gained 223,000 viewers. I'm not a huge fan of Alicia Fox, but I will say her and Eve had a surprisingly decent diva's match. I suppose Fox is like Eve Torres in a sense that she has to work with GOOD female wrestlers to have GOOD female matches. If she works with crap, she'll produce crap. Let's hope they give her more GOOD to work with in the future. As for CM Punk and Heyman's promo, it was everything you expected to be. They threw shots at the Rock, which made me smile. Honestly, why not start the build to Royal Rumble now? It's written in stone that Punk and Rock are happening at Royal Rumble 2013. Might as well create some excitement.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus gained 201,000 viewers in the 9pm timeslot for a 2.87 quarter rating. I won't lie, I skipped the match. I've seen it so many times that I honestly felt like I wasn't going to get anything new. And I didn't. Sheamus won by DQ. Yay. At least WWE was smart to put this match on at a time where people usually tune into RAW. But was it smart in the long-run to give the audience at home another rehearsed match between Sheamus and Ziggler? This writer thinks not and the scores might show that as you read.
The backstage video from Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns lost 354,000 viewers. I'm sorry, did I say might? I should have said, "YES! SHOWING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WILL HURT YOUR VIEWERSHIP" Why the hell did they replay this SAME video package from Smackdown on RAW? Did WWE assume no one watched Smackdown? Or their youtube channel? Or their website? Granted, it's a good video. Ambrose continues to own and Seth Rollins is starting to remind me of a young CM Punk, no joke. But that does not mean we HAVE to keep showing it when its already been shown. Just saying. Next time if we're going to show a video of them, here's an idea. MAKE A NEW VIDEO!
Zack Ryder vs. Alberto Del Rio gained 114,000 viewers. Whaaaat? A different match on RAW other than Del Rio vs. Sin Cara? And look! It gained viewers! What a concept! But yeah, in all seriousness, not a bad match. Crowd was into it and Ryder got a little bit of offense .... before he inevitably lost to Del Rio. Sorry Broski. It's in the book.
Vickie Guerrero vs. AJ Lee w/ Brad Maddox as the special guest referee in the 10pm time slot gained 115,000 viewers for a 2.78 quarter rating. So other than that pretty big dip in the ratings during the SHIELD video, the second hour has done a very good job of gaining viewers. AJ Lee vs. Vickie was a nice, harmless entertainment match. Maddox is announced as the special guest referee and screws over AJ Lee. AJ Lee loses her temper, destroys the equipment around her, runs backstage to do the same, and Cena has to once again calm her down.
You know something? The idea of John Cena struggling with a psycho girlfriend in AJ Lee SCREAMS a million possibilities of entertainment. I think WWE should run with this. Maybe lead it into AJ Lee screwing Cena out of his match against Ziggler? .... Nah! That's too much of a good idea for it to come true. Haha.
Antonio Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston lost 546,000 viewers and did a show-low 2.39 quarter rating. Oh dear, once again, Cesaro is involved in something that causes a huge drop in ratings. Question, didn't the WWE JUST show this match on Main Event last week? Sooooo .... why are we getting it again tonight? That's one. Two. I've noticed that they've given Antonio Cesaro an anti-american gimmick. Really? Yes, I'm glad he HAS a gimmick now but is that the best the creative team can come up with? That's soooo .... typical! "Oh, he's not American, so he hates America!" Like we have not seen that before. Whatever. The ending to the match was awesome. Watching Cesaro catch Kofi and slam him made me rewind my DVR at least five times. I like Cesaro. I think he has massive potential. However, I don't think WWE is doing a very good job at showcasing it.
MizTV with The Miz, Rhodes and Sandow gained 169,000 viewers. This segment for some reason has mixed reviews. Some hated it cause The Miz came off awfully obnoxious and, to them, demonstrated a "horrible babyface persona" and others like me loved it cause it was fun and humorous. First off, Cody Rhode's Mustache. Haha! One of the most over things on the show. Personally, I think it looks like crap, but if its getting him a reaction and providing faces with an opportunity to make fun of him and get some babyface momentum, KEEP IT! Secondly, the interactions to me were hilarious. Miz trying to play devil's advocate to cause tension between Rhodes and Sandow, Sandow trying to defend his friend, and Rhodes calling Miz "one of them" made for an entertaining segment. Granted, the "Pink and the Stink" ending was cheesy, but not so bad that it harmed the segment overall.
My thoughts so far on the Miz as a face is still on reserve. Do I think he needs work? Yes. Do I think he still carries with him some heel-like gestures that he needs to drop? Oh yes. Do I think he is going to lose it overnight? No. That's why I'm giving him some time to operate before I just bash the living hell out of him. The guy has been a heel since 2006, the year he debuted, and he just NOW started working as a face. Give him some room to operate people!
John Cena vs. Big Show gained 11,000 viewers in the main event, doing a 2.52 quarter rating. Hahahahahahaha! Oh, you have no idea how happy this made me! Dear god, I've grown so sick of this match, to see that it did so bad in the ratings gives me hope for wrestling fans. So glad I'm not the only one sick of this. For the record, this match would be among the lowest drawing main events in the last 15 years. I guess Cena can't always draw big, huh fans?
The RAW overrun which featured The Shield and everyone else in a big brawl gained 627,000 viewers for a 2.96 overrun rating. Loved the ending. The mayhem like atmosphere it had brought back memories of the Attitude Era. Wish it was done more. Great way to end a better than usual RAW, but still one that came off kind of flat overall.
Thus ends your weekly does of ratings. Thanks for reading and enjoy the video of the week. Well ... second video if you read my previous blog, haha.
Stay classy, readers.

A teenage singer says she would change nothing about her attempts to win over TV talent show judges despite not making the cut.
Jenny Jones, 18, appeared on the first episode of singing contest The Voice when it relaunched on ITV on Saturday.
Performing in front of a crowd of hundreds in a studio audience and millions of TV viewers, the teaching assistant from Connah's Quay hoped to bag a place in one of the teams led by Sir Tom Jones, Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, Gavin Rossdale and Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am.
But despite giving it her all, the teenager wasn't able to claim support from the blind auditions.
Reflecting on the performance, Jenny told the Leader: "It was crazy but the best experience ever.
"I would not change anything about that day as it has made me a stronger person from it.
"I was very disappointed but I knew I just needed to get on with it and it gave me so much motivation."
Jenny, who began singing when she was six when her mum first gave her a microphone, was spurred on to apply for the show by her boyfriend Jack Cartwright.
She told the show she "busks and gig whenever I can", adding: "I never want to stop doing it."
She said: "My boyfriend actually encouraged me to apply for it and he pushed me into going for it and took time off his job to take me to the auditions."
Joined at the studio by Jack, her mum and dad, grandparents and brother, Jenny performed Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman.
Hudson was shown as saying "she's good" as Jenny sang.
But Sir Tom was later spotted grimacing at aspects of her performance, although he later admitted it had been a "close" call.
Hudson said Jenny just "failed to hit the climax" of her song.
Despite not making it through, Jenny still made time to watch back her efforts on the show.
She said: "It was so weird.
"WhenI got aired on Saturday night, it didn't feel real and I couldn't get my head around it."
Speaking after not getting a chair, she told the ITV show: "I'm very disappointed but that's the way it is isn't it?"

Meet Michael Lynch, personal banker. The former Goldman Sachs ( GS) investment banker scored quite a coup when the Reader's Digest ( RDA) board decided to put itself up for sale last year. Reader's Digest didn't just retain Lynch's former employer to find a buyer for the publishing company. In a highly unusual move, it also hired Lynch to hold its hand in the sale process. Now Lynch stands to pocket a $2.75 million advisory fee, assuming Reader's Digest shareholders approve a proposed $1.6 billion buyout by private equity investors led by Ripplewood Holdings and Merrill Lynch ( MER). That fee comes on top of the $11 million fee being raked in by Goldman Sachs. But Lynch clearly is getting the better end of the deal. While his former Goldman Sachs colleagues will have to wait until the end of 2007 to divvy up their bonus pool, Lynch is due to get his big fee at closing, which is expected as early as next month. Better yet, he doesn't have to share his winnings with his current employers at GSC Group, say people familiar with the buyout. The $12 billion New Jersey-based investment firm, which employs Lynch as a managing director, hasn't asked for a split of Lynch's fee. Reader's Digest, in a recent regulatory filing, says it retained Lynch because the banker had been the company's "relationship partner" at Goldman Sachs for many years. A person familiar with the situation says the Reader's Digest board felt Lynch knew the company better than any of the Goldman Sachs partners working with it in the buyout negotiations. Lynch retired from Goldman Sachs in 2005 before joining GSC as an executive this past June.

Cool down use of hyperbole, accept election outcomes
It always catches my eye when a letter to the editor uses the word "tyranny" to describe the actions of a politician (almost always a liberal or Democrat) who works to pass legislation that in some way or another puts some restriction on "gun rights" or some other conservative
The politician in question is obviously an evil lickspittle of a nefarious group whose sole goal in life is to destroy the Constitution of the United States and allow the Democrats to create a dictatorship that will destroy your way of life and that will put all "right-thinking patriots" into concentration camps secretly being built in the hinter regions of the U.S. Or some such silliness.
Before tossing the word tyranny around, I would suggest you read the definition in the dictionary. Synonyms are despotism, absolutism and dictatorship. Now you may think these politicians fit those words, but any politician who can be voted out of office in a year or two (or in a recall
election) is not a dictator, no matter what you think.
What you're witnessing is actually pure democracy in action. Your guy didn't get elected. The other guy did. Some times you don't win. Maybe you got too many trophies for just showing up when you were a kid and you think you should win all the time. Life is not like that. There are other people in this country that don't think like you. Sometimes they win.
You want to change things? Work harder to get your guy elected. And remember this is basically a nation that is divided equally between right and left. National elections are won by 51 percent to 49 percent, not 65 percent to 35 percent), and it can go either way any given year. Local elections are obviously more polarized.
Rejoice in the fact that in a year or two you can toss the rascals out and get your guy in. And please cool down the hyperbole.

Flood victims will be aided by many entities, not just feds
Jim Spehar has truly outdone himself, "Tragedy, it seems, creates some pretty imaginative conservatives. At least temporarily." If that statement isn't the height of arrogance, I'll eat my hat.
Conservatives, it's true, honor the flag, support the Second Amendment and always urge the government to adhere to the Constitution. In regard to the recent terrible destruction in the many counties on the Eastern Slope, the government will be here with financial and other help that all states and the Conservatives support and expect. The "leave me alone" philosophies from the left have to do with the invasion of our privacies and the taking-away of our basic rights.
Sure, the government will be here with help, but the Salvation Army, the Red Cross and the compassionate people of Colorado are already there with hands-on help — providing necessary food, clothing, money, comfort and help with the cleanup. Spehar seems to think that the government is the only help we are getting and fails to acknowledge our self-help.
Perhaps Spehar has not purchased a property needing a mortgage or refinanced an existing mortgage recently. Every lender requires a flood insurance premium if one is within 50 miles of a river or an area subject to flash flooding. "We the People" pay these premiums, and I am sure this disaster qualifies for flood insurance payments.
The people of Colorado and neighboring states will be there for as long as needed, offering assistance and comfort to our friends who have been devastated by this disaster. At the forefront will be the conservatives Spehar so maligns.

Recent news stories illustrate GOP stinginess
Page 6A of Tuesday's Sentinel explains precisely why my personal definition of Republican is stingy and mean. House Republicans would rather see worldwide economic chaos than actually work with the president to provide health care for our citizens, support a program that feeds children or raise taxes on the wealthy.
Let's start with the first story: The GOP wants to stop funding the government and refuses to raise the debt ceiling because the Affordable Care Act would insure an additional 31 million Americans, end lifetime maximums on benefits, provide free mammograms and end denial of insurance based on pre-existing conditions among other reforms beginning Oct. 1. That's stingy.
The second story is about the GOP wanting to cut Food Stamp benefits. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that the income from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, pushed 4 million people above the official poverty line in 2012. Seventy-six percent of SNAP benefits go toward households with children, 16 percent go to households with disabled persons and 9 percent go to households with senior citizens. These vulnerable households receive 83 percent of all SNAP benefits (many SNAP-eligible households contain all three categories of vulnerable people).
The average SNAP household has a gross monthly income of $744; net monthly income of $338 after the standard deduction and, for certain households, deductions for child care, medical expenses and shelter costs; and countable resources of $331, such as a bank account.
SNAP error rates declined by 57 percent since FY2000, from 8.91 percent in FY2000 to a record low of 3.80 percent in FY2011. The accuracy rate of 96.2 percent (FY2011) is an all-time program high and is considerably higher than other major benefit programs.
The last sentence of the story implied drug testing would help cut benefits: actually, in Florida, programs to drug test welfare recipients ultimately wasted $45,000 in taxpayer money, because the cost of the testing surpassed the savings it created.
Basically, Republicans are happy to let children, old folks and the disabled go hungry for absolutely no reason. That is both stingy and mean.
The third story was headlined "Combined net worth of nation's richest rises." This is despite the reality that the Census Bureau's annual report on incomes and poverty shows real median household income over the past 25 years; that is, the money earned, in inflation-adjusted dollars, by the family at the exact middle of the income distribution, was $51,681 in current dollars in 1989 and was $51,017 in 2012.
That means that 24 years ago, a middle-class American family was making more than a middle-class family was making one year ago. Still, the GOP refuses to raise corporate or individual or capital gains taxes on the top 5 percent. That's just mean.
I'm sure there are Republicans out there who love their dogs and don't have cloven hooves; unfortunately, they aren't in Congress.
Strong public schools needed for strong communities, nation
School board elections are to be nonpartisan for a reason. Partisan elections emphasize politics that are not helpful in selecting school board members.
Furthermore, party labels distract voters from asking who has the knowledge and skills to serve the educational needs of students. All party affiliations have a vested interest in local public education.
The strength of our community is directly tied to economic development and to creating a community that attracts more business and industry. Both are directly affected by the training of our future workforce. Smart change is needed.
School Board candidates must work collaboratively as a five-person board to make careful decisions to help our school district improve in spite of diminishing resources. We need a board to create strong schools today to ensure a strong community and a strong America for our future.
We invite our neighbors who wish to work toward smart change to join us in the effort. All school board candidates have been invited to speak at a public forum in the CMU Ballroom at 6 p.m. Sept 23. We invite business owners and community members to attend and hear candidates' views.

Bicyclists get free ride on licensing, insurance
Regarding ATV/OHV regulations and funding, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math on the dollar amount the state gets for registration fees alone, which is $3.5 million. That doesn't include the taxes we pay for our trailer plates to transport them, which tripled a few years ago.
I've got to wonder what the state pays the director and assistant director Ken Brink. I'd bet the state wouldn't want to make that public.
It's horrible for anyone to be killed, be it an adult or a child. Children should be the responsibility of the parent in any recreational vehicle.
That's not the only thing under my skin. How about all the bicycles causing numerous accidents on our roads? No licenses, no registration, no insurance and no driver's licenses.
The money it cost every taxpayer to pave the bicycle paths throughout the state and communities closing roads for their bicycle races is beyond comprehension. What makes bicycles street-legal? As far as I know, every other recreational vehicle has to pay for a license or registration and insurance.
Let's stand and fight, western Colorado!
People come from miles around to enjoy our state and they spend a lot of money, not just here, but on their way.
Unarmed people were sitting ducks in the Navy Yard
I can agree with the editorial headline for Bill Grant's piece. The Navy Yard shooting should send a message to Colorado legislators.
One can rightly compare the Washington D.C. gun control laws to Colorado laws and note the fact that, despite the strict gun laws in Washington, D.C., the shooter had the guns. As true in EVERY case of assault with guns, the shooting continued as long as the shooter was the only one with a gun.
The wisdom of our nation's founders is sound. Had every man been armed, that shooter would have been stopped much earlier. Unarmed people do not make a safer society but become easy targets for the enemy.
Repeal Obamacare, replace it with truly affordable, patient-centered plan
USA Today and Wall Street Journal confirm polling results of 53 percent disapproval of Obamacare, emphasizing the Sentinel's op-ed on the confusing aspect of the law.
Some may think I am one of the "partisan detractors" of this new grand plan for health reform, while conveniently ignoring that it was originally conceived and passed along "partisan" lines in Congress.
It was later deemed constitutional via a legal contortion that changed "mandate" to "tax." Now it is promoted by a flurry of "navigators" and a government-sponsored ad campaign (funded by taxpayers). Also:
• IRS enforces the tax credits and relies on individual honesty for reported income levels.
• Navigators will have personal IDs, which could lead to identity theft.
• The Independent Payment Advisory Board, which hopes to reduce cost by authorizing only so-called "evidenced-based" care, will ultimately will lead to rationing of care. (IPAB is derided even by the extremely partisan Howard Dean, MD).
•Obamacare will diminish patient care and threaten the traditional doctor-patient relationship.
•The Office of Management and Budget predicts premium costs will rise (134 percent in Colorado), as will total government expenditures.
These arguments are not hollow, as your editor suggests. What are hollow are the president's promises:
"If you like your insurance, you can keep it."
"You can keep your doctor."
"This will save families $2,500 a year."
For now, Obamacare is the law of the land. I hope our legislators have the wisdom to repeal or at the very least defund it. If they do not, partisan supporters of Obamacare need to bear the full responsibility for the detrimental effects. If your editorialists are going to tout this legislation as the solution, then your paper must acknowledge that it is a failure when it inevitably fails.
Those of us who oppose Obamacare, including Dr. Ben Carson, famed neurosurgeon, are not hyperventilating when we advocate for repeal and legislating a patient-centered and truly affordable plan.

A slimming group has achieved a gold standard.
Wickham Bishops Slimming World group, run by Emma Chapman, have reached an elite standard within Slimming World and are now classed as a 'gold' group.
The gold standard was achieved after 100 members or more, continually attended the group, based at Prances Scout Campsite, Great Totham Road, for three months.
120 members attend the group, which is the first midweek morning group in Essex to achieve the standard.
Emma Chapman, 43, of Clayton Way, Maldon said: "It's not easy for members to attend at this time of year due to holidays, so naturally it all boils down to weight loss.
"If the members weren't losing weight they wouldn't come.
"I opened Wickham Bishops in 2012 as an 'overflow' group for my evening group in Heybridge, which is also 'gold' standard.
"It started from scratch and results and hard work have built it from zero to gold."

Hello! I'm 23 years old and I have always wanted straight teeth. My teeth aren't really that bad (people were surprised I was trying to fix them) but my front four are quite crooked to me- I'll post pictures eventually. I have a small mouth and anxiety about dentists so I never thought I could get even impressions, making a straight smile seem out of the question.. Finally, I found this awesome orthodontist. He is just fantastic and he talked me through everything. His office is very modern with wide open spaces and it creates a relaxing environment. I also went to three other orthodontists for opinions who all said I was a great candidate for Invisalign. I chose this orthodontist because he really seems to care about his patients (for the consultation alone he spent an hour explaining everything). He does all the work himself (vs having a million assistants shoving things in your mouth) and there is never a waiting room packed of people.
I just started my treatment a few weeks ago and so far it's been terrific! My case is quite complicated - I have 36 aligners for the top and 11 for the bottom. I will finish in about 18 months. The technology is amazing though. My orthodontist showed me exactly what was going to happen on the computer.. I'm very happy - I was at the beach last week and within 10 feet I saw three people with braces; I was thinking to myself - wow, I'm straightening my teeth too and no one knows! Seriously, unless I tell people, no one notices! It took awhile to alter my routine but now its not a big deal at all. I've been great with taking care of my teeth - brushing and flossing after every meal. I highly recommend it. Stay tuned for updates :)

Weigh station closure would create hassle
Wisconsin trucker Rusty Howard isn't looking forward to the prospect of having to make a U-turn off westbound Interstate 70 just to get to a weigh station on the eastbound side of the highway to have his rig checked out.
But that may be what he and the nearly 500 other tractor-trailer drivers who pass through the westbound Loma port every day will have to do starting next month.
The Colorado Department of Revenue had been planning to close the weigh station on the westbound side of the interstate as of Friday because Utah backed out of a long-standing agreement to share funding for it, and the Colorado Legislature's Joint Budget Committee rejected a department request to pay the $193,000 needed to keep it open.
"That would suck. I don't agree with that," Howard said Wednesday when he learned of the possibility while driving through the weigh station. "We don't have time for that, not if they want us to keep our logbooks straight."
Closing the westbound station would require truckers to take the Loma exit, cross over the highway and negotiate a tight loop on a narrow road that would take them into the station on the eastbound side.
If they miss that exit, however, they'll have to drive another four miles down the highway to the Mack exit and turn around.
"That's just crazy," Howard said.
The issue began last year, when the Legislature approved a law that turned over safety inspection duties to the Colorado State Patrol.
The Utah Department of Transportation took that law to mean its four workers at the westbound station couldn't continue to do safety inspections of trucks heading into their state.
Chad Sheppick, acting operations manager of the Utah department, said he wasn't in charge at the time, but his understanding is Utah's legal interpretation of its station-sharing agreement with Colorado meant Utah workers were subject to the Colorado law, which barred anyone but Colorado troopers from doing the inspections.
After months of Colorado officials trying to persuade Utah that wasn't the case, Utah backed out of the agreement last month.
Colorado's Revenue Department found temporary funds to keep it open, but it decided to close it when the JBC rejected a request to fund it after the start of the 2011–12 fiscal year, which begins Friday. Last week, the six-member JBC deadlocked on the issue, with the three Republicans on the panel voting against funding it.
Department spokesman Mark Couch said that resulted in a decision to close the westbound port. He said the department doesn't have to funds to pay the four additional workers needed to make up the loss of the Utah employees.
It didn't end there, though.
After days of phone calls and serious arm-twisting from various folks complaining about the matter, including from Rep. Laura Bradford, R-Collbran, and the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, one of those Republican lawmakers said Wednesday she will change her vote.
"After I heard everything, then it made sense to me why they wanted the money," said Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen. "Because I know it will be good for the truckers, I'm good with it, so I will be reconsidering my vote."
As a result, Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton and JBC chairwoman, scheduled another meeting to revisit the matter, and the department plans to leave the port open until the panel votes July 11.
Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver and a JBC member, said he hopes the vote will go better next time. He said other JBC members opposed it because they didn't want to create more government jobs, but the issue isn't limited to that.
"Even though the trucks could logistically do it in terms of moving between the two stations, work-wise it's too much of a burden on those (port) workers," he said. "It's one of those arguments when people want to decry spending in government. If we don't spend this money, and the trucks can't move on a timely pace and get held up, that has huge impacts on the cost of goods."
Ferrandino said it is unrealistic to expect the eastbound station, which already handles nearly twice as many trucks a day as the westbound facility, to handle the extra load. Doing so will delay truckers trying to get through the area, and it could result in some serious traffic headaches for local residents at the two interchanges, he said.
Hodge said damage to the Loma and Mack overpasses must be considered, too.
"I don't think those overpasses can handle that kind of traffic," she said.
According to the department, the westbound facility handles about 177,000 trucks per year, an average of 485 trucks per day. The eastbound facility, which is larger, handles about 316,000 trucks a year, or 866 trucks a day.

Iran has warned that it will prosecute five British sailors if it is proven they had "evil intentions" when their 60-foot racing yacht entered its waters, in what Britain says was an innocent case of a vessel accidentally going astray in the Gulf.
London was trying to keep the incident from getting tangled up in politics.
David Miliband, Britain's foreign minister, has insisted this incident has nothing to do with politics - and that it should be ended without anger or confrontation.
The five men were detained by the Iranian navy on November 25 after their racing yacht apparently drifted into Iranian territorial waters, British officials have said. The vessel was travelling from Bahrain to Dubai.
The yacht, owned by Sail Bahrain, is called the Kingdom of Bahrain, according to a diplomatic source and Sail Bahrain's Web site.

Excitement is in the air at Grand Center as it celebrates a dynamic fall line-up, as well as new cultural additions to the midtown arts and entertainment district. Among them, the former Woolworth Building adjacent to the Fox Theatre has reopened as the new Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri headquarters. The Kranzberg Arts Center, on the building's ground floor, is now home to Craft Alliance's second location and two performance venues.
Susan Wedemeyer, marketing and communications director for Grand Center Inc., says the district has taken a huge step forward in the past couple of years. "The progression may seem slow, but from a real estate standpoint, it's been steady. So much has happened here in the last two years," she says.
Grand Center, between Lindell and Delmar boulevards with Grand Avenue as its spine, is home to 12,000 theater seats, 12 galleries and museums, and 1,500 cultural events, that draw 1.3 million visitors every year, according to Wedemeyer. "We just celebrated the grand opening of our arts season with the second annual 'Dancing in the Streets,' showcasing all kinds of dance," she says. "We want this event to be known as the dance festival in St. Louis with streets full of people." Another annual event that has established itself in the district is First Night St. Louis, a celebration with musicians, artists, dancers and other entertainers to usher in the New Year.
A boost to the district's thriving arts scene came with the recent launch of Craft Alliance's satellite location. Executive director Boo McLoughlin says the addition gave Craft Alliance an opportunity to throw a wider net. "We wanted more people to have a better understanding of our craft, but it was difficult to expand at our University City location," she says. "Being in Grand Center is an exciting opportunity for us to be in the middle of St. Louis' cultural center."
McLoughlin says Craft Alliance's gallery at the corner of Grand Boulevard and Olive Street has 32 feet of windows. "The visibility along Grand is ideal for viewing crafts," she says. "And with 1,400 square feet of space, we can show large-scale, site-specific installations. It really gives us a space to create environments." In addition, McLoughlin notes that underneath the gallery, a 4,000-square-foot education center houses clay, fiber and metal studios and three artists-in-residence. "We're not only offering an opportunity to view art, but also to allow people to be involved in the process of creating and experiencing contemporary art," she says.
Moving forward, McLough?lin hopes to see synergy at work among those who've made Grand Center their home. "When you have this concentration of organizations devoted to various aspects of art, there's something explosive that happens, there's so much opportunity for collaboration with entities like the Contemporary Art Museum, The Sheldon, Circus Flora and Jazz at the Bistro," she says.
Jazz at the Bistro and Jazz St. Louis executive director Gene Dobbs Bradford agrees, saying that a real spirit of collaboration exists, vastly improving the look and feel of the district. "When I first started 10 years ago, I remember musicians telling me that the area seemed a little depressed, with a lot of boarded-up buildings and the streets not being cared for," he says. "But over the years, there's been more life and direction, definitely a lot more going on."
Bradford notes that Jazz at the Bistro was recently cited in USA Today as one of the 10 great places for jazz. "St. Louis has a reputation of being a great jazz town, but when I arrived here 10 years ago, there weren't a whole lot of places to hear jazz," he says, adding that when the curtain fell on Gaslight Square, "it took a lot of the jazz with it." Bradford says with performances, education and outreach, the hope is to bring the culture back. "We need to have a strong jazz presence here and show everybody who comes to St. Louis that jazz is a vital part of our culture."
Bradford says a combination of music and other cultural venues brings excitement to the district and an appreciation for all forms of art. "In a center where we have great institutions like The Fox Theatre, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, The Sheldon and Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, there are so many opportunities to come up with creative ways that would bring people here."

"Slow Love" was a pleasure to read. Browning is descriptive, honest, and human.
It should come with a big fat warning that her unemployment is not typical. Normally job loss equals financial struggle. Her worst case scenario involved selling one of her houses.
I think that those who have retired might relate a bit better. Regardless of money, when your life is suddenly changed, it's human to feel lost.
It is about someone who is lost and how she tries to find her way back.
She spends a lot of time talking about a guy. The foil to this relationship where he has no real respect for her is her constant claim that she's a feminist. I laughed when she repeatedly wrote it, because her behavior is the opposite of what I imagine the modern definition of "feminist" is. She is obviously a very powerful woman, and all she wants is to be rescued by prince charming…something she can't make him do.
What broke my heart, was her search for God. In one of her low times when she is struck with insomnia, she goes to her doctor, and then her astrologer. She looks into Buddhist teaching and still nothing. In the middle of the night she finds a Bible.
Her impression is enlightening. Throughout, she sees people tremble before God, and she tries to understand why. It was fascinating.

February 18, 2008
One open space was nicknamed for the bodies found there, and a park where children now play was known then as a nest of bombs and mines. Scores of people died in gunfire and bombings here on Baghdad's west side. Attacks are rare now, less than one incident per week. Troops from Fort Carson's 4th Squadron 10th Cavalry Regiment say their challenge in Ameriyah centers on maintaining calm in the neighborhood and nurturing the locals who are reopening shops and establishing government institutions. Ameriyah is seen as a role model for the rest of the country, making it a target for future attacks. "It would be a huge step backwards if this neighborhood falls," said Capt. Tom Fournier, an Exeter, N.H., native who commands Comanche Troop, as he patrolled Ameriyah's streets today. Baghdad remains a dangerous place. Just west of Ameriyah is Camp Liberty, home to the squadron's headquarters, which was shaken by rocket fire today for the first time in weeks. Soldiers rushed for cover to shield themselves from the 10-minute barrage that shook buildings. But amid the sporadic violence, locals say something special is happening here that could spell the end of the insurgency nationwide. "After the nightmare, the people are happy and ready for peace," said Imam Hussein, as he ate rice and lamb Sunday night in an Ameriyah mosque with Lt. Col. Monty Willoughby, the squadron's commander. "I'm excited about the success I've seen so far," Willoughby told the Muslim preacher and a half-dozen other neighborhood leaders. To keep insurgents out of Ameriyah, Comanche Troop has settled in the heart of the neighborhood. Its 85 soldiers rotate through three-day stints in a grim-looking bunker with 4-foot-thick concrete walls that was built to protect Saddam Hussein's followers from American bombs. Called Joint Security Station Ameriyah, it's a dark place with fire-blackened walls that's shared by the Americans, Iraqi troops and members of an American-backed local security group dubbed "Sons of Iraq." Sharing the building allows the Iraqis and Americans to work together, with the locals offering information while the Americans give guidance, and if needed, firepower. The Americans say the Iraqis know the neighborhood because of their local ties, allowing them to gather information that is out of reach to Westerners. "They are the future that's going to make this a safe place," said Comanche Troop's 1st Sgt. Tim Bolyard of Grafton, W.Va. The Americans have wired the bunker for the Internet and have set up a gym and a game room to offset the submarinelike feel of the place. "You get over it. Just like everything else in the Army," one passing sergeant said of the bunker's charms. The bunker contrasts with the colorful neighborhood re-emerging around it. Businesses are opening rapidly. Vegetable stands contend for sidewalk space with vendors hawking everything from imitation Gucci purses to gasoline. Vendors smiled and waved to Comanche Troop soldiers on patrol today. Iraqi flags, unseen during the violent summer, wave from buildings in a sign that residents are starting to shun sectarian rifts. On patrol today, Fournier stopped by a few shops to hand out grant applications that offer money to rebuild. But most of the businesses are growing without aid. "This place is like America," the captain laughed as he walked through a spotless and well-stocked Ameriyah grocery store that could compete with its American equivalent. It's not America yet. Soldiers are watchful for danger every day. Insurgents still want to reclaim Ameriyah. But there's hope in this part of Iraq, three-tour veteran Staff Sgt. Jimmy Higgs of Grand Junction said. With more than two of his past five years spent in Iraq, Higgs is a cautious judge of progress here. "It's changed," Higgs said as he ate lunch Monday in the dim bunker. "I think it's getting better." Reporter Tom Roeder can be reached by e-mail in Iraq at firstname.lastname@example.com

"The difference between successful and unsuccessful people, a lot of times, is their ability to manage time," says Severson, who is a chemistry teacher in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. "Fundamentally, it's a learned skill."
Tips to learn time management for kids:
This report provides advice to parents on managing their child's time. It focuses on critical transition times across a child's daily life when parents say they have the most problems.
Most parents find that by using the following strategies, they are able to increase the amount of time spent on positive interactions with their children while greatly reducing the amount of time they spend punishing and scolding their children.
Most of these strategies require time and effort from parents in the beginning to get their children to follow a schedule. However, by following these strategies, parents often find that they end up having more time in the end.
Morning Routine
Here are some tips for establishing a more pleasant morning routine:
- Get up early. Make sure you wake up at least 15-20 minutes before your children so that you can focus on what you need to get done to prepare for your day.
Many parents find its easiest to complete the majority of their personal morning routine (e.g., shower, get dressed, etc.) before waking their children.
After waking the kids, parents work on making breakfast or lunches so they can easily check up on the kids' progress in their morning routine.
Make a chart. Parents often complain that their children always "forgets" to do something when they're getting ready in the morning. Truth is, many of us "grizzly bears" are forgetful in the morning.
Help your kids to remember by creating a morning routine chart. (Chart is included in full article.)
Include things like washing their face, brushing their teeth, getting dressed, making the bed, etc.
List all the morning activities you can reasonably expect your child to complete on the left side of a piece of paper.
List the days of the week across the top of the paper.
Give your child a sticker or a star for every morning activity they successfully complete on time.
- Reward them with praise each time you give them a sticker.
Give a bigger reward at the end of the morning, or for older children, at the end of the week, for successfully completing a number of morning activities on time.
- Some examples of rewards include:
- choosing a snack or dessert for lunch
- earning 5-10 minutes of free time before school
- and choosing a fun weekend activity (big reward).
Don't demand perfection, especially if your child has not performed many of these activities on their own before.
Reward them for improvements even if it just means completing one activity per day.
Focusing on progress rather than perfection encourages your children to become more enthusiastic and take pride in completing their morning routine.
