Cheektowaga walk-a-thon raises funds for veterans' projects
About 200 people, including students and veterans, gathered Saturday on the Cheektowaga Central Middle-High School campus for the Walk for Warriors Project Walk-a-thon.
Frank Marchese Jr., co-director of the high school's guidance program, launched plans for the Walk-a-thon after the October death of his father, a World War II veteran, at the age of 92. An Army sharpshooter, Pvt. 1st Class Frank Marchese Sr. served in the European Theater, then worked 32 years as associate director of claims for the Veterans Administration.
Helping veterans was instilled in the son at young age.
"I've been raised and immersed in the idea of giving back, doing for veterans," he said.
Twenty-five teams registered for the event and raised more than $7,000 before embarking on the walk-a-thon around the school's track. That amount is expected to rise when individual registrations and the proceeds of a raffle are counted.
The money will go to Wounded Warrior Project, which assists injured veterans, and the Iraq/Afghanistan Memorial, which will be dedicated Sept. 13 in downtown Buffalo.
Four veterans who went off to war before graduating also were awarded diplomas:
• Sgt. Douglas L. Eason, the father of Jackie Jurek, the district's College and Career Center co-coordinator, who served in the Army Reserves in Germany and was honorably discharged in 1963.
• Staff Sgt. Russell M. Haberl Sr., father of Cheektowaga physical education teacher Matthew Haberl, who served in the Air Force and was honorably discharged in 1966.
• Cpl. Eugene J. Walek, who served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1968.
• The late Michael D. Walek, the twin brother of Eugene Walek, who served in the Army as a spec. 4 during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1966.
Jurek nominated her father because while she was growing up he made sure she and her five siblings graduated because he understood the difficulties of not completing school.
"Education is very important," she said. "He instilled that in us."
Eason decided to leave school at the age of 17 because his parents were divorced, he couldn't find a job and he wanted to serve his country.
"I got everything done at once," said Eason, who was surprised by the honor.
"It's a long time coming," he said. "It was nice of everyone to think of us."

P r i d e W e d d i n g s 2010
For Travis Brewer and Dirk Armstrong, the ceremonies were small affairs, but the significance monumental
Weddings usually have flair: flowers, harp music, billowy dresses and horse-drawn carriages. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes, it's just a justice of the peace with a small party exchanging vows.
But don't think the absence of flash was a compromise — or worse, a disappointment — for Travis Brewer and Dirk Armstrong. Although they had already celebrated their commitment, they ventured to Canada for a no-frills wedding … mostly because they could.
But that came later. First, they had to meet.
Brewer remembers Sept. 17, 2000, as the day he met his future husband. In a seemingly non-romantic way, the couple met via online chat at Gay.com. Brewer admits what he was looking for and Armstrong was just figuring things out.
"I'm not very technical so I didn't know how to do anything," Armstrong says. "I picked him to send a message and we started chatting. The next morning, he called and we were meeting for lunch. I was running late so he already knew what he was getting into."
After a slew of dates that sound disastrous — Brewer fell asleep at a play on their first; Armstrong was not keen on a dinner Brewer cooked — they found a groove. Three months later, it led to a personal commitment ceremony at Brewer's home. Armstrong's dog Mitzi had already moved into Brewer's Oak Lawn condo.
"Maybe six weeks of being together, Mitzi went to his house and he would never let her leave. That was his trick to get me to move in," Armstrong says.
The private ceremony was small with just a few friends. The whole event was a self-proclamation of their love. And it was sweet, too.
"He was the one who wanted to shop for rings and brought up the ceremony," Armstrong says. "That was very romantic."
"I was getting old. I didn't want to wait," Brewer says with a laugh (he was 35).
Fast forward two years. By now, same-sex marriage was legal in Canada and they wanted to take advantage of the recognition. They weren't going to plan much more than getting the certificate and a quick exchange of vows.
The specifics fell into place. They had friends to visit in Vancouver, who in turn knew a woman who could perform the ceremony. In a romantic gesture, they scheduled the wedding to occur on the anniversary of their first ring exchange.
"We got there on a Saturday," Brewer recalls. But it didn't matter that the courthouse was closed for the weekend. "In Canada, you can get your marriage certificate at the drugstore. We paid our fee, showed our IDs and we were set.
There were no tuxes. We had some friends come in and then we all went to dinner after."
The couple posted their marriage announcement in Dallas Voice. They considered the trip also their honeymoon and flew back before Christmas to be back with the family.
But being low-key to begin with, why did they go through the hassle of the traveling and planning when they had already declared their union? To them, it added validity.
"We knew it wasn't legal here but nice it was validated in some country," Brewer says, "We wanted that just for our own sake."
"Even though we had our ceremony already, this was just to make that little extra commitment," Armstrong says.
And 10 years later, it looks like it worked.
This article appeared in the Pride Weddings 2010 special section in the Dallas Voice print edition May 7, 2010.

How does the audience react to Shakespeare's portrayal of Caliban in The Tempest?
The first element of the audience reaction is to his physical presence. He is usually portrayed as awkward, uncouth, and savage. Thus he is not a sympathetic character. His admission that he tried to rape Miranda and his getting drunk are also less than admirable.
On the other hand, one can also see him as innocent and victimized, too readily trusting of outsiders to the island. There is also the issue that he is the rightful ruler of the island whose place has been usurped by Prospero, a point he makes in the lines:
This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
Which thou tak'st from me....
...I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was mine own king...
In many ways we can sympathize with him as we do with other indigenous peoples displaced and oppressed by colonial powers.

Christopher Daniels recently spoke with The Baltimore Sun about his TNA departure, backstage morale in TNA and more. Check out the highlights:
On Negotiating With TNA: "I talked to them for the first time at Lockdown, and they told me that they wanted to speak to me face to face. I was then off television for a month, so the next time I got to talk to them was at that One Night Only pay-per-view. So I had no idea until then. They pretty much just told me that they were going in a different directions with different people."
Does He Think TNA Would Bring Him Back? "The way it was explained to me, they said they wanted to leave the door open to do stuff in the future. But at this point, they couldn't continue to keep me under contract if they weren't going to use me as regularly as that. Who knows what will happen in the future? I'm not sure what their plans are. I had hoped there was going to be an opportunity for me and Frankie to wrestle the Wolves in a longer program, but that's obviously not TNA's priority at this point."
On TNA Locker Room Morale: "It's sort of a "wait-and-see" approach there, man. Every company makes decisions that may or may not be popular with the locker room, but you have to see how it turns out. And I think that's what everyone is doing, waiting to see how everything lands and continue to put out the best product that they can once they see the lay of the land."
On whether he would work for Global Force Wrestling: "I figure that anything that Jeff puts his mind to when it comes to creating a promotion has the potential to be very formidable in terms of the landscape of pro wrestling. Just look what he did with TNA. If he has the right people behind him when it comes to finances, then Jeff is creative enough to make something happen. So it's definitely on my radar, just like I think it's on everyone's radar at this point. Everyone's just waiting to see exactly what Global Force Wrestling is going to be. We have to see where it is, what it is, and who is going to be involved. Jeff is starting to answer slowly but surely."

For consumers watching over-the-air television on an analog set, converting to digital will have at least some environmental impact. Adding a converter box means extending the life of an older television; that means not consuming resources to produce and ship a new television, and not putting a toxic-laden box into the waste or, hopefully, recycling stream. But adding a converter box isnâ''t a slam dunk for the environment; old cathode ray tube televisions consume vastly more power than new flat-screen models, and the converter box is a bit of a power-sucker itself.
Neither the FCC nor the consumer electronics manufacturers have dared to predict how many analog television households will choose to add a converter box, or how many will simply replace their television sets. Or how many third or fourth TVs, which were relegated to the basement or a kids room, will simply be disposed of, neither converted nor replaced.
Looking at the numbers, consumers have requested nearly 50,000,000 converter box coupons, nearly 47,000,000 have been mailed. Some 21,0000,000 have been redeemed; some 14,000,000 have expired. Thatâ''s at least 14,000,000 people who decided not to go with a converter box after considering it; I doubt they all signed up for cable. Some of them, as well as, Iâ''m sure, a large number of consumers who never ordered a converter box coupon at all, simply decided that their old analog televisions werenâ''t really worth the hassle of keeping, and have or are going to replace them.
So when analog shutdown day comes, be it 17 February as currently scheduled, or delayed, environmentalists are expecting consumers to dispose of a flood of old CRT televisions. Theyâ''re guessing that, at minimum, at least one in four of the 106,000,000 US households will get rid of at least one TV, probably more. And thatâ''s worrying them. CRT televisions contain leadâ''an average of 1.8 kg per setâ''along with cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and brominated flame-retardants. Recycling them isnâ''t cheap or easy; as a result, many TVs intended for recycling are shipped out to Asian and West African countries, where they are disposed of unsafely.
The Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition is urging consumers to push manufacturers to take back their own products and recycle them properly. You can find out how responsible the manufacturer of your television is and how to write directly to the company here. (Sony, so far, is the only manufacturer that the Toxics Coalition believes, at this point, is getting it all right.) And, at minimum, you can make sure that when you dispose of a television it goes to a recycling program, not to the dump.
For more of Spectrum's coverage of the planned analog shutdown, see The Day Analog TV Dies.

A Keighley vets is hopping with delight after receiving a coveted accreditation.
Keighley Vets4Pets has been added to a list of UK rabbit-friendly veterinary practices. The surgery had to meet standards set by the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund for equipment, facilities and services.
To celebrate its success, Keighley Vets4Pets – in Hard Ings Road – is staging a Valentine's Day 'lonely hearts' competition to help a bunny find a soulmate!
People are invited to upload a photo of their rabbit to facebook.com/KeighleyVets4Pets by February 28.
The winner will receive a voucher for a free operation to neuter a rabbit, and will have the chance to choose a new friend for their pet from a rehoming centre.
Veterinary surgeon and Keighley Vets4Pets owner, Lara Clarkson, said: "Unfortunately, many rabbit owners do not realise what is required to look after their pets properly. The majority are kept alone, but they really do need company and are best kept in pairs or groups.
"Many rabbits aren't even registered with a vet, nor kept up to date with their vaccinations, but this is just as important for bunnies as it is for cats and dogs."
Keighley Vets4Pets – which opened last summer inside the Pets at Home store – boasts latest anaesthetic equipment designed specifically for rabbits, plus a separate rabbit 'ward'.

Pickens Dominates on Day One of Holiday ClassicFeatured Stories, Sports December 28, 2012
Both of Pickens High School's basketball teams played great games on day one of the Pickens Holiday Classic, as the Dragonettes frustrated the Fellowship Lady Paladins in four quarters of play and the Dragons dominated the Strong Rock Patriots to give PHS a 2-0 start to the tournament.
The first matchup involving teams from Pickens, the host school for this tournament, was the meeting between the Dragonettes and the Lady Paladins in a game that got out of hand fairly quickly.
Pickens proved early on that they could outperform the Lady Paladins, outscoring Fellowship 12-6 in the first quarter of play. The Nettes never slowed down in the second quarter, adding eighteen points on the board compared to Fellowship's six, giving Pickens a comfortable 30-12 lead at halftime.
As if an eighteen-point lead was not enough for the Nettes, they stretched this lead once the third quarter rolled around, going on a 21-4 run that would leave Fellowship in need of a miracle in the fourth.
While the Paladins did slow down Pickens a bit in the final quarter, it was not enough for Fellowship, as the Dragonettes would win the game by the final score of 59-26.
Danielle Goss made several big plays for Pickens on Thursday night, scoring twenty points with seven rebounds and two assists.
Not to be outdone by Goss, Sarah Smith also had a fine night, scoring nine points with a team-high twelve rebounds. Smith also had three assists.
The Dragonettes were blood thirsty in regards to gaining possession over the Lady Paladins, as four Pickens' players—Smith, Haley Kalson, Kadie Mullinax, and Olivia LeMieux—finished the game with two steals.
Now looking for the clean sweep in the first day of the tournament, the Dragons hit the court fired up and ready to play a young Patriots squad. Pickens showed plenty of potential in the opening quarter, scoring nineteen points to lead the game 19-10 at its end.
Obviously looking to match the Nettes' success, the Dragons mirrored the Dragonettes' third quarter run in their second quarter of play, outscoring the Patriots 23-4 to give themselves an incredible 52-14 lead at the half.
With the victory now in hand, the Dragons slowed down the speed of the game in the second half, resulting in just seventeen points. However, the team did not stand down against the Strong Rock offense, allowing a total of just nineteen points in the third and fourth quarter.
The Dragons would win the game by the final score of 59-33.
David Culbreth had an excellent game for the Dragons, leading the team with fourteen points in the victory. Culbreth also had three rebounds and one assist.
While rebounds can sometimes be hard to come by, Tyjai Howell had no trouble getting the ball off of the shots of others, leading the Dragons with six rebounds on the night. Howell also had seven points and one assist.
Jacob Stephens played the way a true team player would, recording a team-high seven assists in the win.
The Dragons and Dragonettes will be back in action on Friday night, as the Dragonettes will take on the Sprayberry Lady Yellow Jackets and the Dragons will face off with the North Forsyth Raiders. The girls' game is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. with the boys' game tipping off at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Tucked into a corner, alone, a young girl spent two months watching her fellow students play games, stumble through tongue twisters and make faces. She watched them get dressed up and recite lines. She watched them work together. Then one day, "Julia" walked over and joined the group.
Kim Furness '96 says she was "blown away" when that happened, but she has begun to expect extraordinary things from these special students. They have autism, a developmental disorder often characterized by socially inappropriate behavior, communication problems and withdrawal. Participating in an acting class is probably the last thing most people would expect of them.
Yet these students make believers of all who see them. They first came together two years ago when a Quad Cities speech pathologist contacted Furness-owner of Curtainbox Theatre Company-about starting a drama therapy class. The subject of several ongoing research projects, drama therapy has been hailed as potentially helpful in improving communication and social skills for autistic students.
"These kids really connect with each other," Furness said. "The parents are like, 'They've got friends now!' One parent said, 'My son would never initiate conversations with me, but he does now. His confidence and comfort have improved so much.'"
Furness' autism class is one of several acting classes offered by her company. She said working with her autistic students gives her a special sense of purpose and joy. "This class helps a wonderful group of kids feel like they fit in, sometimes for the first time in their lives," she said. "It's really important."
Furness caps the classes at eight to ten students per term, and the company has never made enough money to pay Furness a salary. By the middle of 2011, she wasn't sure she could continue the programs.
Then, luck struck. First, Furness won $30,000 from an Iowa Lottery scratch-off ticket. Next, she won a $7,500 gift from Royal Neighbors of America for writing an essay about her company. Finally, she won a chance to make commercials for Denver Mattress Company by writing an essay about how much she loved her new mattress.
"The cash infusion has been wonderful," she said. "It will help keep the company afloat for another year."
For her autistic students and their families, it's a dream come true. "Our parents see these kids as a blessing," she said. "But you know their hearts are breaking too. They want their kids to feel like they belong. When you see a child like 'Julia' standing on stage, costumed, delivering her lines to an audience, you see that dream is possible."

in the event that we do move to ireland in a few years, would the other children make fun of my daughter for having a "boy's name"?
i mean if it can work both ways, even if it's not overly popular, i'd go for it.. just so long it's not the equivalent of naming my daughter James or Bruce or something?

Re: finally paired up our twin names..
I don't mean that it's completely "out there", just that it's traditionally on the male side. I think re: current trends in Ireland it would seem a bit edgy, but no more so than parents using a "boyish" name for their daughter here in NA - more like Elliott or Emerson than Bruce, I think ;p
My thought is always, if you love it, screw convention :)

Tuvan Throat Singers Alash Ensemble to Bring A LITTLE TASTE OF ASIA II to Lancaster's Ware Center, 2/23
On Saturday, February 23, 7 PM The Ware Center will host "A Little Taste of Asia ll". In an extremely rare appearance in the U.S., the world-renowned Tuvan throat singers Alash Ensemble -- superstars in their home in Siberia -- are masters of their art. Music from China Duo opens the bill.
Tuvan throat singing is a remarkable technique that enables one singer to sing multiple pitches at the same time. Imagine if you will several voices filling the stage...a second glance reveals that the song is a solo performance. This unique to its area technique has been handed down generation to generation for hundreds of years. Republic of Tuva is located in south-central Siberia in Russia.
Alash are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture. At the same time, they are fans of western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage.
In America, Alash has performed sold-out concerts at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. They've also taken Tuvan culture into the classroom, performing concerts for thousands of school students.
Music from China Duo, which opens the show, is a chamber ensemble that performs a dual repertoire of traditional and contemporary Chinese music. Innovative works mixing Chinese and Western instruments form part of this exciting repertoire. Music from China Duo has performed over 111 new works by 67 composers.
Ticket Information: These events are open to the public. Tickets cost $20 for reserved and $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Ticket Office at 717-872-3811 or 717-871-2308. Online, at millersville.edu/muarts. Or, in person at The Ware Center Box Office. Tickets are also on sale - if still available - one hour prior to the performance. Seats are limited. Advance ticket reservations are strongly encouraged.

The Psi chapter proudly began this academic year with several of our members attending the Grand Council Convention in San Francisco. Those that could not attend had the privilege to hear not only of the great time that was had, but also of the invaluable knowledge and ideas of how to further our chapter and ensure its success for many years to come!
Our annual rush week kicked off with a Hawaiian themed Luau at the Kappa Psi house, which included our annual pig roast for all Kappa Psi alumni. Although rain blew in half way through the event, a great time was had by all. The majority of the P1 class was present, and this was an excellent opportunity to meet the future pledges of Kappa Psi. We added a new addition to our rush week this year, aYacht Club themed event was thrown at the house. All agree that it was a huge success! Rush week concluded with our annual Kappa Psi formal which took place in Memphis, TN. Despite the fact that a portion of our chapter is located in Knoxville, TN, several brothers made the trans-state drive, to not only attend formal, but also to meet the future pledges! A masquerade ball was this year's theme for formal, which included a Best in Mask competition. Although there were many amazing masks, two winners were ultimately chosen. One of which was so impressive, that it now has a place in the Kappa Psi office of our brand new pharmacy building.
As members of Kappa Psi, it is our duty to give back to the community, and with numerous service events planned, this year is no exception! So far this semester, the brothers have visited the Veterans Administration to hand out coffee, and speak to the fine men and women that have given so much to make this country what it is. Future events include such things as volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and various health fair events.
As mentioned in the summer edition of The Mask, our chapter had the great pleasure of granting a wish to a terminally ill child this past spring, by sending her to Walt Disney World. The funding that allows us to Make-A-Wish is partially raised each year through our annual Date Auction/Meet the Brothers Night. This event not only allows the pledges to get to know the Brothers better, but also to have the opportunity to bid on a brother, or fellow pledge, with the high bidder winning a 'date'. All the proceeds, which exceeded over $2000, will help make another child's dream come true, which is tentatively planned for the spring of 2012!
With the fall semester in full swing, we are more than happy to announce that our chapter has proudly gained an incredible eighty-one pledges, several of which have already taken on leadership roles within the college of pharmacy! We strive to make this year the greatest year in our fraternity's history, not only by furthering our profession, but also by leaving solid foot prints in which our future members may follow.

Johannesburg - The case against a man arrested in connection with the murder of three-year-old Cuburné van Wyk will be held in-camera on Friday, a senior public prosecutor told reporters at the Boksburg Magistrate's Court.
Media were not allowed inside the courtroom where the accused was appearing for the first time, and a court order to that effect would be issued, said the prosecutor, who declined to be named.
The order stated that no photographs were to be taken of the accused, and that he could not be identified.
His name would not even be on the court roll.
This was because certain witnesses still had to identify the accused in an identity parade and for this reason his identity could not be disclosed, he said.
If media or family members of the victim entered the courtroom, they would be told to leave.
The accused was arrested in Germiston on Wednesday by metro police officers.
Van Wyk's body was discovered on Saturday by a passer-by at a mine dump in Reiger Park.
Police said he died as a result of multiple head injuries and burn wounds.
He disappeared on August 6 while he was playing outside with his siblings. - Sapa

Robert Burns Orders Sr., 82, of Charleston, W.Va., and Sarasota, Fla., went to sleep peacefully with family by his side on Tuesday, April 22, 2014.
He was born Jan. 9, 1932, in Kermit. He was the son of the late James William and Janie Orders. He was preceded in death by his sister, Lois Wright. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Susan Ball Orders; brother, the Rev. James William Jr. of Fayetteville, N.C.; son, Robert Burns Orders Jr. (Darci) of Forest Hill; daughter, Kimberly Orders Lewis (Tom) of Charleston; five grandchildren, Elise Stevens (Frank), Chelsea Lewis, Hank Lewis, Robert Burns Orders III and Tyler Orders; and great-grandchildren, Lewis Stevens and Zane Stevens.
Bob graduated from Huntington High School in 1949, where he was an All-State selection in football and basketball. He was then appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he played center for two years. He transferred to West Virginia University in 1951, where he was a two year letterman at center for the Mountaineers football team for the 1952 and 1953 seasons. He was named to several All-American teams and was the West Virginia Amateur Athlete of the Year. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers but declined the offer to serve two years in the Army. He was very honored to be inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and followed the Mountaineers avidly over the years.
While at WVU, he was a member of ROTC, Beta Theta Pi fraternity, Mountain Honorary and vice president of the senior class. Upon graduation in 1954 he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in the College of Commerce.
Bob and Susie were stationed for two years at Fort Benning, Ga., from 1954 to 1956. He then relocated to Charleston, where he spent two years at a life insurance agency, then seven more at an asphalt paving company. Bob then started Orders and Haynes Paving Company in 1966, which he owned and operated for the next 33 years. He was past president of the Contractor's Association of West Virginia and served on the National Asphalt Paving Association's board. Bob was on several boards, including the West Virginia University Foundation, Kanawha Banking and Trust (now United Bank), GoodWill Industries, AAA and YMCA. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, where he served as a deacon and an elder. Bob and Susie were the advisors of the junior and senior high youth groups, taught Sunday school and with another couple started The Young Couple's Sunday School Class, now called The Class. He was also a member of the Lions Club.
Bob and Susie split their time between Charleston and their home in Sarasota, Fla., and loved traveling the world. Perhaps more important than all of his accomplishments was the character that he possessed. Countless friendships over the years speak to this. He was both a superb businessman and a tremendously generous leader to all who worked with and for him. His heart was always in the right place. He never met a stranger. He loved playing tennis, reading, going to movies and especially spending time with his family.
The family would like to extend their thanks to Dr. Pfister and associates, Hospice, all caregivers and a very special thanks to Kelly Lane.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to the Mountaineer Athletic Club, P.O. Box 877, Morgantown, WV 26507; the First Presbyterian Church, 16 Leon Sullivan Way, Charleston, WV 25301; or Kanawha Hospice, 1606 Kanawha Blvd. W., Charleston, WV 25387.
Visitation with the family will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Wilson Funeral Home, Charleston. The funeral will be 2 p.m. Saturday at the First Presbyterian Church, with a reception to immediately follow the ceremony.
Online condolences may be sent to www.wilsonfuneralandcremations.com.

BLACK WINE Announce Fourth Studio Album, Out 8/12
Black Wine is preparing to release their fourth studio album, Yell Boss, on August 12 via Don Giovanni Records. Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, the band is comprised of Jeff Schroeck on guitar, J Nixon on bass and Miranda Taylor on drums. With Yell Boss, the trio unleashes a dense punk-pop sound of towering guitars and a rattling rhythm section - a sound that is as original and engaging as it is concise.
The self-defined "no-core" band doesn't hold their sound to any defining genre. "Komrades," is an upbeat, hook-ridden punk track loaded emotive vocal harmonies. The depth of the record comes through with "Rime," a heavier track with looming, post-punk guitars and gruffer vocals sure to inspire fans to stomp and thrash. Check out "Rime" where it premiered with Wondering Sound or HERE!
Black Wine's sound is immediate and commanding. The members also come from a long line of amazing Jersey bands including the Ergs!, Full of Fancy, and Hunchback. Determined to continue a sense of operative collectivism, all three members sing and contribute to songwriting. This keeps their ever-evolving creation inspiring and invigorating from start to finish.
Look for them on tour this summer!

German night-flight bans upset airports
By AviationBrief
Published: May 2, 2012
Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) state government last month implemented a night-flight ban for passenger aircraft at Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN) between midnight and 5 a.m. local time. Cargo flights are excluded.
The decision affects around 6,000 aircraft movements annually. CGN CEO Michael Garvens said in a statement that the ban is without a legal basis, will damage the aviation market in NRW and put jobs in danger. He added that the airport would appeal the ban to Germany's transport ministry.
Cargo carriers are concerned they won't be excluded from the ban indefinitely. Earlier in April, a German court upheld a night-flight ban at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) between 11 p.m. and 5 p.m., dealing a blow to cargo airlines operating at the busy airport.
According to Garvens, the situations—both related to complaints about aircraft noise around the airports—are not comparable. He accused the NRW government of "unlawful interference with an existing operating permit." Garvens said the proposed noise relief at CGN will be "low" because "passenger [aircraft] are usually smaller [than cargo aircraft], more modern and [use] low-noise [engines]."
CGN is one of the largest commercial airports in Germany, serving more than 10 million passengers per year.
Lufthansa Cargo (LHC) chairman and CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt told ATW the FRA ban will cost LHC €40 million ($ 53 million) annually. "This is substantial," he said. "The amount in turnover we lose is a three-digit million euro number." The decision could also affect all future investments at FRA, he said.

I had left over material from the other red shirt I made, so I whipped this up! Despite both patterns calling for over 1.5 yds of material, I made both from 1.5 yards. I am good at conserving I guess. I tried to make the shirt, but I am so short it could work as a short dress as well! it would be good as a summer shirt or dress and a winter top.

TARPON SPRINGS — Think your old Craftsman bungalow deserves some recognition?
Now's the chance to make your case.
This month, the city will begin a six-month survey of buildings in and near the city's historic district.
"Some sites were inadvertently missed in the original survey," said Kathleen Monahan, Tarpon Springs' cultural and civic services director.
And others may be eligible for inclusion because they're now 20 years older than they were when the first survey was completed in 1988, Monahan said.
To be included, buildings generally need to be 50 years or older and have no major changes to the original architectural character, but others may qualify because of their relationship to historic people or events.
The city's historic district is bordered roughly by Beekman Lane and Canal Street to the west, Boyer Street to the south, Levis Avenue to the east and Park Street to the north.
The survey will also focus on buildings near Spring Bayou in the "fruit salad district," so-named for surrounding streets such as Lime, Orange and Pineapple.
City officials are asking current owners or residents to help identify historic structures by providing information on previous owners, original architects or builders and year of construction.
The survey, funded by a $21,500 matching grant awarded by the Florida Department of State's Division of Historical Resources, should be completed by June.
Owners of buildings deemed historically significant will be required to abide by design and maintenance guidelines created to preserve the character of the area.
Rita Farlow can be reached at email@example.com or (727) 445-4162.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Welcome, as an Internist I will try to answer your Medical Question, for informational purposes only, please see your doctor as needed.
I am waiting for you to come online
did they do a TSH for hypothyroidism?
as well?
do you smoke cigarettes?
any cough?
did you get a CBC (white cell count?)
Yes did TSH also T4 & T3 all good. No, I don't smoke nor do I have a cough, but the swelling in neck/throat can occasionally make my thoat "croaky"
has anyone considered Sjogren's syndrome?
or Sarcoidosis?
I will get you a webpage on Sjogren's
look at the picture
this is the classic presentation with bilateral parotid gland swelling
you usually have dry eyes, a dry mouth
and can have joint pain
and muscle pain etc
if you look at that webpage, they will list the symptoms
you check this with a few blood tests.
sedimentation rate.
anti-Ro antibody
I do not have dry eyes or dry mouth, but do have parotid gland swelling. No pain in joints or muscles
then it is unlikely
there is a test called the shirmer's test, to check your eyes, but without symptoms it is unlikely
What do you suggest I should check first from this list with my doctor ?
well my approach
would be to look at if there is some inflammatory process going on
they put you on steroids already
that can wreck the testing
so I would say to get your rheumatological marker testing done first
for sarcoid, sjogren's
Mumps viral titers
get a C reactive protein for autoimmune diseases
and a sedimentation rate
I did have rectal adino carcinomer 18 months ago, only 3 lymph nodes removed with tumour were magnant, followed by fol/fox chemo, but all tests currently show all is well
I see
I do not think it is related, but you need to do a serum protein electrophoresis
to see if you have a monoclonal gammopathy, which is an increase in an immunoglobulin as from a paraneoplastic syndrome
from rectal cancer
but I would say it is unlikely
i see, can print this off to show my doctor?
I will switch this to the question and answer section
you then right click on the page with your mouse
and hit print ok?
I hope I was able to help
please come back anytime if you have questions ok?
Dr Frank T
please rate my service if you can
good luck to you in NZ

Regional Roundup: Top New Features This Week Around Our BroadwayWorld 6/8 - THE MAN IN THE CEILING, JOSEPH, and More!
BroadwayWorld presents a comprehensive weekly roundup of regional stories around our Broadway World, which include videos, editor spotlights, regional reviews and more. This week, we feature CONSTELLATIONS, THE MAN IN THE CEILING, JOSEPH, and More!
Check out our top features from around the BroadwayWorld below!
Washington DC: Contributor Jenny Minch reviews THE SCHOOL FOR LIES at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. She writes "The stage is full of stereotypes but Woodell's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Frank, the typical boisterous male in charge, is the most obvious of all. There is no doubt that Frings and Wooddell have onstage chemistry and make a handsome Celimene and Frank. There is a lot of relatable material in The School for Lies, which is part of what makes it a successful production. If you don't recognize yourself up there, you recognize someone you know and in the dark theatre, it's ok to laugh at them."
Long Island: Contributor Melissa Giordano reviews THE MAN IN THE CEILING at the Bay Street Theatre. She writes "The first thing your eyes immediately go to as you walk into the theatre is the set by Tony nominee/Emmy winner David Korins' (and this is not only because you walk next to it going to your seat). They make fantastic use of the intimate stage. Uncle Lester's work area - consisting of a piano - is on a second level and some interesting steps lead down onto the main part of the stage. White walls raise behind them in the form of graph paper and projections - by Daniel Brodie and Mr. Feiffer - are utilized for the different rooms of the house. This is stunningly enhanced by Tony winner Howell Binkley's lighting design and Emmy nominee Spencer Liff's entertaining choreography that well accommodates the stage."
Salt Lake City: Contributor Tyler Hinton reviews JOSEPH at Hale Centre Theatre. He writes "The choreography by Cory Stephens, and its execution by the cast, is legitimately impressive. The whirl of color is snappy, precise, and joyful. Jennifer Parker Hohl's direction pulls all the chaos together while allowing room for the few emotional moments to breathe and shine through. Occasionally it is difficult to hear the lead vocals through the overpowering ensemble and accompaniment. However, that is the only technical misstep. The candy-colored visuals, including a number of brilliant surprises, are a true delight from start to finish. The contributions of production and set designer Kacey Udy, properties designer Michelle Jensen, costume designer Joy Zhu, and hair and makeup designer Krissa Lent cannot be overstated. Especially delightful is the lighting design from Brian Healy, which features substantially more shades than even the average rainbow."
Costa Mesa: Contributor Michael Quintos reviews THE BODYGUARD at the Seagerstrom Center. He writes "The stage iteration's many featured songs, as presented under the baton of musical director Matthew Smedal, are mostly vivid, high-octane concert performances with cool, well-lit sets and costumes (by Tim Hatley), lots of slick, Vegas-like choreography (by Karen Bruce), and in many occasions, an army of eye-candy back-up dancers and singers. Thus Cox and company's versions of "How Will I Know," "I'm Every Woman," "Queen of the Night," and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" feel like buoyant nostalgic trips fashioned into fun little concert numbers that had the audience bopping their heads and lip-syncing along. Like MAMMA MIA, the musical even ends with an audience-sing-along just to punctuate it even more."
Toronto: Contributor Taylor Long reviews A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE at the National Ballet. He writes "If you've read the play, the second act will seem more familiar. Blanche travels to New Orleans to visit her sister, discovering a bustling and unfamiliar world. The big city doesn't have an ounce of the old money elegance that Blanche identifies with - its moved on without her. Neumeier enhances this conflict by choreographing Blanche stylistically at odds against an ensemble of young, jazzed up New Orleanians. Blanche stands out - she's out of place in a changed world. Alfred Schnittke's Symphony No. 1 accompanies this memory with sustained chords and elaborate horn lines that help to create the hectic, urban atmosphere. The second act is a bit too busy. It almost makes you feel a tad mad by the end of it."
Los Angeles: Contributor Gil Kaan previews The Geffen's CONSTELLATIONS. He talks with Ginnifer Goodwin and Allen Leech. Goodwin told him "I truly stalked everyone at The Geffen Playhouse for this job. I had been starving for theatre. I mentioned this to a director friend who asked, "In what plays are you interested? Are there characters you are itching to play-stories you are dying to tell?" I was stumped. I also realized I was completely out of touch. I called The Drama Book Shop in NYC and ordered boxes of contemporary plays and classic pieces I had missed along the way. I fell hard for CONSTELLATIONS. Then the LA Times suddenly published an announcement about The Geffen's upcoming production. That was last summer or fall, some time. I immediately called my manager and agents and asked, "Can you please get me into a room with the director?" I hopped a plane to LA, I wrote letters, and here we are!"
Regional Editor Spotlight:
Gil Kaan
Los Angles Editor
Gil Kaan, a former Managing Editor of the now-defunct Genre magazine, has had the privilege of photographing and interviewing some major divas in his career, including Ann-Margret, Diana Ross, Faye Dunaway, Carol Channing, Shirley MacLaine, Catherine Deneuve, Liza Minnelli, Sandra Bernhard, Anna Nicole Smith, Margaret Cho, and three Catwomen-Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether and Julie Newmar. He had the fortuitous opportunity to conduct Lily Tomlin's coming out interview. Gil has since reviewed film and theatre for an array of local and national outlets.
"I have been contributing to BroadwayWorld for three years now this June. My, how time flies! I've gotten the chance to cover some incredible theatre in Los Angeles. For those who say theatre is not thriving in Los Angeles, they simply are not looking or venturing out.
Besides reviewing a wide assortment of LA theatre productions, I have had the wonderful opportunities to interview some amazing theatre luminaries, as well as, some up-and-coming talents. The stories I have gotten from such theatre stalwarts have been priceless! Penny Fuller remembered every actor, every detail of her 1963 Broadway debut in BAREFOOT IN THE PARK with Robert Redford, Mildred Natwick and Kurt Kasznar. Understudying Elizabeth Ashley, she had to go on with just a half-hour notice. Needing a wedding ring to wear, Elizabeth lent Penny her wedding ring from her ex, James Farentino.
Baayork Lee shared her memories of working with Yul Brenner, the first time she met Michael Bennett, and her mission to keep Michael's iconic A CHORUS LINEchoreography alive for generations to come.
My latest interview's with Ginnifer Goodwin and Allen Leech currently starring in Nick Payne's CONSTELLATIONS at The Geffen Playhouse. Another fun, informative experience!
I look forward to continuing contributing coverage of our vital Los Angeles theatre scene, and restarting my Dinner & Show column (in the BWW Food & Wine section) featuring restaurants in nearby theatre vicinity for a more complete evening out."

With vocals by Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs along with James King on saxophone, flute, trumpet and harmonica, Fitz delivers a healthy dose of Motown-flavored-retro-pop to the airwaves.
Fitz and the Tantrums have no ordinary back-story. Unlike bands that take years and a revolving door of members before working up a head of steam, Fitzpatrick explained to Buzzbands that he formed a solid line-up in just one night; a lineup that's still together five years later. Within hours of purchasing a vintage organ, Fitzpatrick had penned his first song. That same evening, calls were made and a band was formed. After just one rehearsal, Fitzpatrick booked their first public performance. Only months later, the band would find themselves recording an EP and receiving big-time radio play. Their first album, titled Pickin' Up The Pieces, stormed up to #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart in late 2010.
Surprisingly, much of the band's rabid fan base grew thanks to Maroon 5. According to Fitzpatrick, Maroon 5's Adam Levine was in New York getting some tattoo work when the artist told him, "You gotta hear this band." Less than two weeks, later Fitz found his band opening up on Maroon 5's college tour. Despite their small tour bus, the band was headed in the right direction.
The band's second full-length, More Than Just A Dream, hits stores on May 7 via Elektra Records.

Chapter 1
Hello everyone. Welcome to this alternate universe. This fiction continues the story What Sacrifices for the Survival of the Species. This new fiction is The Last Great House of Krypton. I will try to update this story once per week.
Clark is now caring for his children independently, without his powers, as a single parent. He doubts his abilities but he still needs to fit into human society. Please read on and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't receive any remuneration from DC Comics. I just enjoy playing with their toys. Any similarity to any person living or deceased is purely coincidental. Please note that the Taco Palace is based on Taco Bell. I love their food but on to the story that picks up immediately from the last chapter of What Sacrifices …
Clark Kent's Home
Martha and Ben packed up their truck to return to Smallville after resting for a few hours. The responsibilities of two farms weighed heavily on their shoulders. They worried about Clark since he lost his powers but Clark knew that the time had come when he would be alone caring for his children. He bade them farewell and returned to his back porch, to watch the night sky, secure in the knowledge that Jason, Jordan and Karala slept peacefully in their beds. He couldn't help but review the events of the past year as he drifted off into a fitful sleep.
Nightmares plagued him as he slept in a lawn chair. His mind and body were exhausted from his last trial. The AI that inhabited the Fortress of Solitude was so corrupted by Lex Luthor that it had to be eliminated. Clark regretted this action because the spirits of his biological parents embodied in the AI had provided him with valuable information across the years. Its last few actions however had a profound impact on his life. While attempting to reset and reactivate the AI, he triggered the reproduction subroutine. The AI, using advanced Kryptonian technology, inserted an artificial birthing matrix into his body. Two separate sets of embryonic DNA were added to the matrix. He and his betrothed, Zara produced a male embryo and his cousin, Kara along with her betrothed's DNA produced a female embryo. The AI's intention was that Clark's children would eventually mate to produce genetically pure Kryptonian offspring. One solar year after conception, he gave birth by Caesarean Section to two healthy infants. However, Clark's body was severely taxed by the experience. He lost all of his gifts and must now breast feed the infants for at least one year since they cannot survive yet on nutrients produced on Earth.
He shivered in the cool morning air as the sun cleared the horizon. Wisps of fog hung close to the ground making the air colder than what one would expect in early September. The silence of the morning was pierced by the solitary wail of an infant, slightly louder than what one would expect from an eight week old baby. The wail was suddenly accompanied by a second baby's cry.
"The cacophony begins early this morning. I better get moving." He glanced at his watch. "Boy, it's 4:23 am. I missed their midnight feeding. They must be hungry." Carefully shifting his body to avoid irritating his back, he stood up stiffly and entered the playroom. The wounds from his flogging the previous night smarted worse than ever and adhered to his clothing. Every move pulled and reopened the wounds making him feel more miserable. He entered the nursery to find Jordan on his side pulling at the crib bumpers & Karala's diaper was so saturated that her crib's bedding was wet.
He dealt first with Karala whose cry had a sense of urgency. "Okay Little Miss. Daddy's here & will clean you up right now. She responded positively to his gentle ministrations by babbling as he used warm baby wipes to cleanse her skin, apply a clean diaper & fresh pajamas. By time he finished with her, Jason stood at the door, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"Good morning Daddy Clark," he yawned. "What's for breakfast?" as he padded barefoot into the nursery while scratching his stomach. "Can we have pancakes today? Mommy always makes pancakes for Sunday breakfast."
Clark looked from Karala to Jason then to Jordan who continued to pull at the crib's bumper. He wondered how single parents balance three children's needs without going crazy. "Sure Sport. How about we go get you a glass of milk? It's still early and I need to feed the babies. After I feed them, we'll make some blueberry pancakes the same way Grandma Martha does.
"Okay Daddy Clark," said Jason sleepily as he climbed onto the futon in the nursery. He looked at Clark as he yawned again. "Did you sleep in your clothes last night? Your shirt is sticking to your back."
"It's okay Jason. I'll take a shower after the babies are fed." He looked to the futon to find that Jason had already drifted back to sleep. "Well, two down with one more to go," he thought as he unfolded a knit afghan and placed it over his seven-year-old son. Pausing for a moment, he smoothed back Jason's hair to kiss him lightly on his forehead. Karala continued babbling so Clark turned to Jordan. "Your turn now Young Master as he extricated the baby from the bumper. Quickly and confidently, he changed the baby's wet diaper. As he turned to wipe him with a warm baby wipe, Jordan gave his rendition of a fountain. "Ha, you missed me this time Buddy. I'm getting wise to your tricks." He tickled Jordan's belly causing the baby to laugh heartily.
Clark removed his own shirt, aware of the material adhering to his back. He went to the bathroom adjacent to the nursery. Carefully he washed his chest and breasts aware that he was going to nourish the last of his species. He dried himself thoroughly and walked over to the cribs lifting both babies out. Carrying both babies, he settled into his favorite rocking chair being aware of the wounds on his back. He allowed them to latch onto his breasts as he hummed a lullaby.
Twenty-five minutes later, the babies fell asleep at his breasts, completely satiated. Clark knew that he had about four hours to get his work done. The grandfather clock in the foyer struck 5:15am. Jason continued to nap and the twins slept so Clark decided it was time to take care of himself.
He stripped of the clothes he wore after leaving the Fortress and climbed into the warm shower. However, the water stung his back so he got in and out quickly. "At least the bleeding stopped. He applied antibiotic ointment to long strips of gauze and used the gauze to apply it to his back. When he repeated this process several times, he decided that there was enough antiseptic on his skin & he would wear a light shirt.
When he dressed, he went to the kitchen & prepared the pancakes that Jason requested. He sliced some fruit and placed two pancakes on a plate for his son. Clark then climbed the stairs to return to the nursery. "Wake up Sport. Breakfast is ready," he whispered above Jason's head. His son smiled faintly and opened his eyes. "Shush," said Clark quietly. "They're sleeping. You stop at the bathroom and I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast."
"Okay Daddy Clark." Jason bounded up from the futon and rushed to the bathroom, a little faster than a normal seven-year-old should run. Clark smiled with pride to see his gifts emerging in Jason and he knew this would be the perfect time to discuss the gifts with the boy.
Five minutes later, Jason sat at the kitchen table with his father. "Jason, you're doing so well with your powers. I'm so very proud of you. But always remember, you must be careful that no one should see you using them. Frequently, people fear that which they don't understand."
"But why would they be afraid? You've never hurt anyone and I want to be like you. I would never hurt anyone and the twins are just babies! I don't understand."
"People fear anything they cannot control Jason," Clark replied softly. He looked at Jason with love. "As Superman, people feared what I would do if I became angry. They feared that I could not be stopped or controlled. That's why it's so important for you to keep strong control over your powers. No one knows that Superman has three children. They think I have only one, a baby. Let's keep everything secret to protect your Mommy, Daddy and baby Joanne."
"Okay Daddy Clark, but one thing," said Jason with a sly smirk.
"What's that Sport?" replied Clark.
"When can I start calling you Daddy Clark all the time instead of Mr. Clark?"
"We need to talk to your Mommy and Daddy Richard about that," said Clark collecting the breakfast dishes. "I'm sure that we will cross that bridge soon. Now why don't you brush your teeth and take a shower. We're going to church this morning then we'll go to the park."
"Okay Daddy Clark. I'll be ready in a few minutes."
Clark watched his older son run happily up the stairs & he sighed at the innocence of the young of all species. Their innocence always quickly evaporated in the glare of life's realities. It didn't matter if the species was human or kryptonian. He returned to finish washing the breakfast dishes. Once completed, he glanced at the kitchen clock to see that it was 7:34 am. It was time to get the twins ready if they were to get to Mass by 10:00 am. He climbed the stairs to see billows of steam issuing from beneath the bathroom door. Jason sang the theme from a Saturday morning cartoon show & Clark couldn't help but smile.
The twins slept soundly as Clark turned, rolled and dressed them. Jason emerged from the bathroom wrapped in an oversized maroon towel. His wet hair and feet dripped leaving foot prints as he sprinted down the hallway to his room.
Clark took the time to pump enough milk to feed the babies just in case they awoke during the service. It would not look too good for him to put Karala to breast if she started squalling. Through trial & error Clark discovered that pacifiers did not satisfy his children's need to suckle. The consistency of pacifiers did not meet their needs. He thought that at some time, he would ask the Lara AI what was done on Krypton. For the moment, one of his fingers served as the rejected pacifier.
It was only one day since he wiped the Fortress' memory. He again regretted taking such drastic measures but it was the only way to guarantee that Jason's hybrid nature would not condemn him to eternal isolation in the Phantom Zone. He realized ruefully that Kryptonians were just as xenophobic as humans.
He changed into a pair of casual slacks, a button down shirt & a pull over sweater. The milk let down reflex still plagued him at times so he took to carrying a change of clothing with him everywhere. Embarrassing moments would be avoided at all costs. He put the twins into their buntings & strapped them into their carriers. Then he slung their baby bags over his shoulder.
Clark had a sharp intact of air as he realized that the bags hit his still tender back wounds. Jason walked into the room to see his father clearly in distress. He frowned deeply and asked quietly, "are you okay Daddy Clark? Maybe we should just stay home if you don't feel good."
"It's okay Jason. Usually, I heal very quickly but I forgot things have changed quite a bit," as he bit his lower lip against the pain. "We can still go to Church then we'll go to the park. Deal?"
"Okay, but I want you to be okay! I can wait for another day if you want."
"No son, our time together is so short. Tomorrow, I'll take you back to your Mommy & Daddy Richard. I don't know when they'll let you visit again. Let's make this a special time. It's almost 9:15 am. Mass will be over by 11:00 am then we'll have lunch anywhere you would like.
"Taco Palace, Daddy Clark?" said Jason with a tentative smile.
"Taco Palace it is. Now let's go so we won't be late." Jason took the baby bags as Clark picked up both carriers and brought them to the car. It took a few minutes to get the carriers into the car seat frames but they finally accomplished their goal. Jason's booster seat was positioned between the baby seats.
"Sorry Sport, you can't sit in the front seat until you turn thirteen years old, for your own safety."
"I know Daddy Clark," said Jason rolling his eyes. "Mommy tells me the same thing all the time. She says it's safer for me to sit in the back."
"Well let's just agree that she's the authority on child care right now. Okay Sport?"
"Alright Daddy Clark."
Clark pulled the SUV out of his driveway and navigated down several winding roads to the main highway leading to Metropolis. He leaned forward most of the trip to avoid putting pressure on his still smarting back.
Thirty minutes later in the parking lot at Sacred Heart Church
Clark helped Jason out of the SUV, smoothed out his hair and whispered directions to him. "Jason, the people here don't know about my having any children. Not only that but you might see some of the people from the Planet. We'll need to return to your calling me Mr. Clark again while we're in public. I'll introduce you as a friend's son, visiting for the weekend. I'll somehow get around the questions about the twins." He knew that he would need to address this question sooner or later.
"Okay Mr. Clark," said Jason with a knowing smile. They had ten minutes to settle into their seats.
They entered the rear of the church and proceeded toward the Cry Room. Fr. Daniel Leone was attired in his liturgical robes and greeted the congregants. He paused and waved as Clark entered the Cry Room carrying the twins in their carriers. Fortunately they still slept. Clark could only smile in response. Jason located two seats in the Cry Room's front row while Fr. Daniel mouthed that he would see them after the service.
The service proceeded free from any baby interruptions since the Cry Room was sound proof. Jordan awoke once so Clark gave him a bottle. To assure that Karala remained quiet, he gave her a bottle which she greedily accepted without opening her eyes. At the conclusion of the service, Clark heard a familiar voice behind him. It was Douglas Harper of the Metropolis Star.
"Clark Kent, you rascal. What are you doing here in the Cry Room? I knew you were returning to the Planet tomorrow but I never expected to see you here. Who are the kids?"
"Hi Doug. Ho… How are you? Fancy meeting you here of all places."
"Even we heathens at the Star have a need for forgiveness and redemption sometimes. But there must be a juicy story behind the mysterious Clark Kent who now appears with three children. I thought you were carrying a torch for Lois Lane."
"If you'd like to know, Lois Lane is now Lois Lane-White and this is her son, Jason White. I'm babysitting this weekend."
"That doesn't explain the babies Clarkie boy," as he tickled Jordan's chin. Jordan promptly drooled on him.
Clark took a deep breath preparing to respond when they were interrupted by another voice.
"Why good morning Mr. Harper. I had hoped to find you. Would you please help the senior ushers collect the leftover bulletins? Mr. Carpenter's arthritis is really keeping him from getting around very well today.
"Of course Fr. Leone, I'd be happy to help out," said Douglas. He turned to pick up two bulletins from the floor and he murmured to Clark sarcastically. "Saved by the priest Clark but I'll see you around and soon." Clark became aware that he was holding his breath and finally relaxed with his head bowed and eyes closed.
"Clark" said Fr. Daniel gently placing his hand on Clark's shoulder. "I applaud your desire to attend services but I never ever expected to see you and the children today. Especially after yesterday's events.
Clark looked at him with tired eyes. "Even more reason for me to reappear with the children Daniel. We need to blend in with other people. No one would think twice about a father bringing his children to church or sitting in the park. It's hiding in plain sight. Superman has to hide but Clark must be as ordinary as possible. I'm returning to work tomorrow so I needed to assure myself that I could manage the children on my own. Ben and my mother returned to Smallville early this morning."
Fr. Leone nodded knowingly then directed the small group through the church, into the sacristy and finally into the rectory. He gave Jason a glass of milk while he prepared tea for Clark and himself. "How are you feeling Clark? After last night, I thought you would take another week before even thinking about the Planet."
"No Daniel. I must go back and it must be now. If not now, then when? I'm becoming depressed and withdrawn by just remaining at home. It's all the symptoms of postpartum depression. I can't allow that to happen."
Daniel looked at Clark with understanding eyes. "Let me know how I can help you?"
"Just pray for and with me, Daniel."
"All the time son."
They conversed for another half hour about fear, pain, loss and change. Clark then said his farewells and left Sacred Heart to take Jason and the children for lunch.
Twenty-five minutes later at Taco Palace
Clark congratulated himself for getting through Mass without the children screaming and crying. He changed the babies on the floor of the SUV & placed the soiled diapers into plastic bags so that he could discard them at the next waste receptacle. He placed the carriers into the stroller frame and entered the restaurant.
Jason ran up to the counter and looked to father with pleading eyes. "Mr. Clark, now since I'm not allergic anymore, can I have anything I want."
Clark looked at his son with veiled eyes. "It depends on what you're asking for Sport. Why don't you put in your order?"
Jason walked to the order window and smiled at the attendant. "I would like two volcano tacos and a mango strawberry freeze, please."
The attendant looked at Clark. Clark quickly thought about Jason's past allergies to strawberries, milk, eggs and wheat. Goodness knew about the peppers in the cheese or mangos. He looked at Jason. "Sport you know that your food will be very spicy. Are you sure?"
"Yes sir," smiled Jason confidently. "I'm sure."
"Okay, I'll have two chicken burritos and a bottle of water." Clark paid the bill while Jason collected napkins, straws and ten packets of fire hot taco sauce. "Wow Sport. Can you really handle that hot sauce on your food?" said Clark incredulously while ruffling Jason's hair.
"Oh yes Mr. Clark but Mommy and Daddy won't let me have any. Everything tastes better when it's spicy."
"How did you find out that you like spicy food?" Clark asked curiously.
"When Grandma Martha cooked, she used hot sauce. She said she always put hot sauce in your food when you were young because she said you drank a bottle of hot sauce when you were little.
Clark laughed because that incident happened when he was only on Earth a few days. Mom and Dad always laughed about how their little tike consumed an entire bottle of red hot pepper sauce without batting an eyelash. "Don't worry Sport. I'll tell her to let you have as much hot sauce on your food as you like."
"Thanks Mr. Clark," responded Jason through a mouth full of tacos. They ate their food in quiet conversation with the twins awakening for a few minutes to babble. After lunch they boarded the SUV to go to Centennial Park.
Twenty minutes later at Centennial Park
The day was cool and crisp. Clark pulled his collar up realizing that he felt cold. His back began to throb but he had made a promise to Jason that he planned to keep. Centennial Park was a hub of activity on Sunday afternoons especially as fall painted the trees red, orange and yellow. Clark's back ached as he lifted the carriers in and out of the SUV for at least the fourth time that day.
Jason ran to the swings as Clark parked himself on a nearby bench. He lifted Karala out of her carrier and gave her the second bottle for the day. She consumed it hungrily and he burped her but did not put her back into her carrier before Jordan awoke. He became fussy then started crying. As the baby cried, Clark became aware that he was leaking breast milk. "O boy! Let down reflex," he thought. "I can't do anything about it now." He simply buttoned his jacket & shivered as he sat in wet clothing. A second bottle was produced and he fed Jordan.
After he settled Jordan back into his carrier, he heard screams coming from across the park. A woman stood screaming that a man had snatched her purse. Clark looked at his children but could see that the perpetrator would pass within thirty feet of his location. He stood up and ran to intercept the perpetrator as park police were in hot pursuit. Clark tackled the perpetrator to the ground while looking back at the stroller and Jason.
"Get out of my way you f***ing a**hole." Get off me." Clark wanted to scream in pain but he knew that he just needed to restrain the perpetrator until the pursuing police arrived. He knew he needed to get back to his children.
The police arrived within seconds and Clark turned the perp over to them. "That was a stupid thing to do mister," said the officer putting handcuffs on the purse snatcher. "You could have gotten yourself hurt or killed. After all, you're not Superman."
Clark thought to himself, "how right you are." He turned back to see Jason standing next to the stroller. "I'll try to keep that in mind officer." He returned the purse to the victim. She was a 70ish year old woman just enjoying the park like the rest of the city's residents.
"Thank you, sir. How can I ever repay you?" She looked at him as if she recognized him.
"You don't need to do that ma'am. I just saw where I could be of assistance. Now I need to get back to my family," as he hurried back to his park bench. His back hurt as did his chest, arms and knees.
"Sir, now I remember where I've seen you. You're Clark Kent, the Daily Planet reporter who writes stories with Lois Lane. I've seen your picture with her on the sides of the busses.
Clark turned slowly. "Yes, ma'am I am Clark Kent."
"Then could you please write a story about how dangerous the park is becoming? It's only 3:30 pm and it's still bright outside. Honest people can't even enjoy this area anymore without being mugged."
They arrived at his bench and he immediately checked his children. All was well with them. He sat down exhausted, hoping that this lady would just go away.
"Are these your children, Mr. Kent? They're beautiful and they have your eyes. Where's their mother?"
Clark caught his breath. What should he say? Jason looked at him intently wondering what he would say. "Sh... she's no longer with us," he said with downcast eyes.
"Oh my Mr. Kent, I'm so very sorry to intrude on you in your grief. Please accept my condolences and apologies. My name is Emily Flowers. My family owns Flowers Enterprises of Metropolis." She opened her purse and gave him her business card. "If you should ever need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to call me, please."
Just then, a police officer approached the bench. "Ma'am, if you plan to press charges against the purse snatcher, would you please accompany me to the precinct?
"Don't forget Mr. Kent. Call me if you need anything," said Mrs. Flowers as she left the park bench accompanied by the officer.
"Thank you Mrs. Flowers, I won't forget" as he pocketed her card. "Come, Jason, let's go home. He rose stiffly from the bench and took Jason's hand while pushing the stroller. He thought to himself, what a day this has been. His natural instincts have always been to help anyone in need but the officer was right. He's not Superman, at least not at the moment so he had better take care of himself. Too many people depended on him right now without his powers, namely his three children. He couldn't be cavalier with his health and well being, not any more. Tomorrow, when he returned to the Planet, would tell how successful he is as an ordinary human.
To be continued. Please review…
