First Session has begun and we're off to a great start.
Though Chop Point Camp is located in Maine and is known for its eight-month-long winters, the past few days were uncharacteristically sweltering. Those from the South were right at home. However, an obstacle like weather can't stop the fun from being had. We spent the first night of camp playing "get-to-know-you" games, which are essentially camp wide ice-breakers to really get the friendships rolling.
The next day we spent the morning in the gym, competing against other cabins in relay races, a little thing we Chop-Pointers like to call "Wacky Olympics". It's so dubbed because not only do we make up cheers, play leap-frog, and participate in many other "wacky" games, but also because we are expected to show up in the most ridiculous costumes the ten minutes we are given after breakfast will allow. Bright colors, capes, inside-out clothing, crazy hair… just to give you a taste.
Daily activities are in full swing now; wind-surfing, sailing, kayaking, basketball, mountain biking, arts and crafts, guitar, water-skiing… The list goes on.
God has graciously decided to grant us some reprieve from the heat, lowering the temperature to a cool 65 degrees today. As a Mainer myself, I was right at home in shorts and a t-shirt. My friend and I played a little game called "Find the Southerner", which was, more often than not, the person dawning a full winter jacket, sweatpants, wool socks, and rain boots.
The next two nights were for bonding with our cabins, Girls and Boys Night Out and In. The nights out are usually spent getting ice cream or going out to dinner. On Boys Night In they played several games in the gym, such as dodge ball. While the boys were out the next night, we girls spent our night in eating chocolate strawberries, making bracelets, and painting our nails. One of our counselors, Raelyn, talked to us about how important God is, especially at this pivotal point in our lives.
Tonight was originally going to be Water Night, but was cancelled due to the cold. Instead we are having Horse Races, where the campers dress up as different characters and compete on a chalk-drawn grid for candy. There are six lanes, so dice are rolled to determine when someone is allowed to move ahead. I haven't seen all the costumes, but I know for sure that there are some princesses, Indians, cowboys, and dinosaurs out there tonight. I myself am a superhero.
Sitting here in the office, I can hear loud and clear the spirited shouting, clapping, and laughter coming from the other room, so I think I'll go join in the festivities.
More updates of life at Chop Point Camp coming soon.

Ideas to use Mobile Technology for Word of Mouth Marketing
Since most people are carrying their phones with them at all times, it makes sense to try to utilize this for word of mouth marketing purposes. There are a few ways in which mobile technology can be a great help in increasing word of mouth activity around a business or brand:
Text messages
Text messaging may be a basic technology, but one that can work very well in word of mouth marketing. Just as with e-mail marketing, the idea here is to send messages to users that they are likely to forward to their friends. The contents could be anything and will vary depending on what the business does, but one idea would be coupons and time-limited offers.
If the business has a "refer a friend" program, this could also be implemented using text messages. An example would be hosting a form on the website where they can enter the phone number of a friend, then having a customized referral message sent out. In this case, it is important to take steps to ensure that the feature cannot be used for spamming – for example, it could be limited to 1 message per day and only registered customers would be allowed to use it.
In-App Sharing
Almost everyone has a smartphone these days, and it seems like almost every website and business out there has their own app too. The upsides are many, of course, one of which is the ability to easily and instantly share things from the app with the user's friends. Again, coupons and limited deals are perfect for this. Say you're scrolling through the app for a popular web store, and come across a coupon for a certain product. Right away you think about your friend Mike who said he was in the market for that exact product – a couple of "clicks" later and he has the coupon code in his inbox. It's important to make the sharing procedure as fast and effortless as possible, as users on smartphones generally have very little patience for slow apps.
Photo Contests
A photo contest can be a great way to increase word of mouth activity around a brand. The basic idea would be holding a contest where the most fun/creative photo relating to the brand wins a prize. So how does this increase word of mouth activity? Well, one idea would be to require contestants to submit their photo through Twitter, thereby showing it to all of their followers (and potentially many more if it gets re-tweeted). A contest like this can blow up and generate a huge amount of buzz for a brand if well executed.
Just as with all other word of mouth marketing efforts, it's important to experiment and not be afraid of doing something wrong. It pays to be careful with text messaging, however, as there are some laws and regulation in place for those. Otherwise, it's all fair game, and the worst that can happen is that the idea fails to gain any traction with users.

McLean, K., Jones, M. & Schaper, C. (2015). Children's literature as an invitation to science inquiry in early childhood education. Australasian Journal of Early Childhood,40(4), 49-56.
Despite widespread recognition of the importance of science in early childhood, the quality and quantity of science teaching in early childhood remains a concern. One way of addressing this problem may be to utilise early childhood teachers' familiarity with children's literature and play pedagogies to foster inquiry-based pedagogical approaches to science in early childhood. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of children's literature to provide thematic links to science inquiry play experiences in an early childhood preschool setting. To understand the influences on an early childhood teacher's confidence in her/his ability to teach science, a participatory approach to research using a narrative case study was employed. The sources of data included multiple semi-structured teacher interviews, teacher reflective journals and digital video. The findings indicate that the use of children's literature as invitational in providing contexts for science inquiry play may offer a way for early childhood teachers to develop confidence and competence to teach science by inquiry. A model informed by the findings of this study is presented for further investigation.

Do you know what I love? Easy desserts. Easy anything, really, let's face it. For the past 5 years or so, I have come to absolutely fall head over heels with puff pastry. It is a fabulous ingredient to use for a quick and easy dish.
My husband is coming to the end of a work project and when this happens he is go-go-go. He comes home tired and HUNGRY. We had some apples getting to the end of their good time and I had just re-upped our berry supply from Costco, so I thought, why not? This is actually a fairly healthy dish, too!
- Puff Pastry, thawed
- 3 apples, thinly sliced
- 1/2c sliced strawberries
- 1/4c blueberries
- egg wash (1 egg, 1tbs water, pinch of salt)
- 2 tbs maple syrup (the real kind, ya'll!)
- 1 tbs arrowroot powder or flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 TBS butter or coconut oil
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Lay out a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, cinnamon, vanilla,and syrup. Once the apples are cooked down to soft, add the berries.
- Add the arrowroot to help thicken the mixture. This will keep your dessert from being too runny. Mix gently. Set aside.
- Take your puff pastry and lay the two sheets side by side on the parchment paper. Using the egg wash, brush onto one of the sheet's edge. Add the other sheet to overlap just a tiny bit, to create a seam. Press with a fork to help seal.
- Pour your apple/berry mixture into the center of the pastry sheets. Now, this is a time for you to choose how you want to decorate. Because I had some extra puff pastry, I chose to take the corners and create hearts with a small cookie cutter. You will have to eyeball how much extra pastry dough you have because you will need to fold over the edges to create a shallow "bowl". Below is the example.
- Gently fold over your edges to help hold the filling. Use your egg wash to help create folds that will stick. Not too much, or it will be soggy. Finish off with a light egg wash on all exposed dough. You can optionally sprinkle with sugar, I refrained.
- Place in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. You want the dough to be golden brown and baked through.

Two Trends Will Make This Stock A Winner
Select Sands Corp. – SNS-TSXV; CLICF-PINK
Advertorial by Keith Schaefer
Oil investors got the most bullish news of the year on Wednesday June 29—US oil production dropped 145,000 barrels a day (bopd) last week.
The stocks of producers went up, but the senior frack sand suppliers—US Silica, Emerge Energy and Hi-Crush—soared; especially US Silica.
They were the first of the Big 3 to report Q2 earnings, and the Market liked what they heard—the stock was up 15% on 3-4 times normal volume.
After reading the conference call transcript, I came away with several key points:
1. Overall demand for frack sand is actually steadier than the Market believed; it's not what it was at the peak of late Q3 2014, but it's not as bad as had been priced in.
2. Demand for fine mesh products in particular are increasing.
3. Pricing appears to have found a bottom as smaller players have stopped the crazy discounts they were offering earlier in the year.
4. Legacy transport contracts are one of the big reasons that their financials look bad; they ordered many new rail cars, and are now paying $550 per rail car per month to be stored.
5. They are still on the lookout for acquisitions.
That keeps bringing me back to Select Sands (SNS-TSXv; CLICF-PINK). They have a fine mesh deposit in Arkansas—that is 1000 miles closer to the huge Texan demand in the Permian and Eagle Ford areas than the existing Wisconsin mines.
US Silica said their fine,100 mesh deposit in Oklahoma (the smaller the number, the coarser the mesh—20 is the coarsest, 100 is the finest) called Mill Creek is getting HUGE oil and gas demand, and they are almost at full allocation on just two customers.
The Market wants more fine mesh product. They want lower cost logistics (i.e. transportation costs). Select Sands has an asset in the proven St. Peters formation (which is the same one that hosts the big Wisconsin mines), that's much closer to major markets, has no legacy transportation cost issues and is exactly the fine mesh product the Market wants.
They're a perfect take-out target. But CEO Rasool Mohammad isn't waiting around for that. With pre-feasibility study in hand, along with production permits, he is moving towards either producing the sand himself or initially having someone else contract-mine it and give Select Sands a per-ton royalty.
"The frack sand majors are calling us. They're interested. And in the Bakken, people are calling. I've had pressure pumpers as far away as the Bakken call me and ask me if we were selling product yet."
He says that shows demand for their fine mesh product is increasing.
RBC Securities agrees. In a June 8 note, they said fine mesh was taking market share and they expect it to keep that market share as sand volumes increase in late 2015.
Why is this? Companies realized that while transporting the coarse sand, and during the frack down the well, the coarse sand is being worn down to become a finer sand.
In other words, the coarse sand had become fine-mesh sand by the time that it actually reached the fracture location.
So rather than use the more expensive coarse sand in a frac fluid, producers have turned to using finer mesh sand and slick water which is a less expensive combination. Lower costs=improves well economics.
There is other evidence of this fine mesh trend found in the Seeking Alpha conference call transcripts from the first quarter of 2015.
Here are the exact words from a few of them:
Emerge Energy Services (EMES) Q1 2015 call – "As the market shrinks the demand for the finer grade frac sands has increased proportionally over the course of the products. At least for now, 40-70 and 100 mesh sand is being used more heavily in both oil and liquid gas stimulation processes."
Fairmont Santrol (FMSA) Q1 2015 call – "certainly we are seeing an evolution of frac treatments to include more 40-70 and 100 mesh. There are a number of reasons why that is and it's mainly around costs…..40-70 and 100 mesh is the prop of choice when you do slick water fracs which also provides the cost savings as it relates to water and other additives.
While sand volumes year-to-date are down 15%, US Silica also said the trend to use more sand—or "proppant" as the industry calls it (as sand "props" open the cracks the pressure opens up)—per well is still happening.
This is a multi-year trend. With each passing year the shale industry learns better ways to drill and complete (frack) their wells. Over the past year it has become very clear that the industry has concluded that increasing the amount of frack sand per well improves profitability.
The increase in the amount of sand most companies are using per well would explain why energy industry intel firm PacWest expects total demand for frack sand will not decline significantly in 2015 despite the dizzying decrease in the number of wells being drilled.
I think there is good reason to believe that the demand for frack sand has likely bottomed in the second quarter of 2015 and will start to increase from here.
There are a couple of reasons for this.
First, there thousands of wells that have been drilled but not completed across North America—the "fracklog". Since these shale wells produce so much of their oil in the first 18 months, companies have been holding off completing the wells until oil prices rise.
Assuming we get a bit of an improvement in the price of oil in the second half as U.S. production heads into decline there is going to be an uptick in fracking to get these drilled but uncompleted wells on-line.
Second, a recent development since the oil price collapse has been companies choosing to "re-frack" wells. This means the companies are re-entering older horizontal wells that were fracked with earlier, less advanced techniques and fracking them again with today's improved best practices.
Re-fracking provides a production boost without having to incur the cost of drilling new wells which is appealing in the current difficult environment.
The Saudi decision to not only not cut production to support the price of oil but to actually increase production has forced the entire industry to redouble its efforts to lower the price of oil needed to make this shale production profitable.
An increase in the amount of sand has helped increase production rates and moving to finer-mesh has helped reduce costs.
Implications For Investors – The Fracking Bottom May Be In
Oil supply in the US has fallen almost 250,000 bopd in the last five weeks. Oil demand in the US is up over 1 million barrels a day – look at this chart from the EIA:

AND–The past two weeks have actually seen the number of drilling rigs in action increase, albeit slightly. And as the chart below from Emerge Energy Services shows, we should be at that point in the cycle where the rig count levels off.
Source of image: Emerge Energy Services Investor Presentation
Let's review the facts:
1. The rig count is bottoming
2. US oil production is finally dropping–down almost 250,000 bopd in the last five weeks
3. Demand is soaring–over 1 million barrel a day increase in US demand alone
4. A huge "fracklog" is low hanging fruit; easy money for frack sand suppliers and pressure pumpers
5. Key Trend #1–more sand = more production means even MORE sand is being used in every well
5. Key Trend #2–the Market wants more fine mesh sand as it's cheaper and does the same job
Frack sand stocks are giving back almost none of the big gains from yesterday. With the rig count bottoming, oil the inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells waiting ready to be fracked and what I expect will be a second half oil price recovery now may be the time to be giving the frack sand suppliers a hard look.
Like the oil producers, these companies have stock prices that have been beaten down which could allow for a big bounce back if the market does turn.
And as the highly prospective junior in the bunch–with no baggage from expensive legacy transportation deals–Select Sands would be the one with the most leverage.

After a tiring (but exciting) wedding day, we both think we deserve a special treat so we headed to Kenko Reflexology Fish & Spa at Pavilion for a foot therapy, called the Fish Spa Therapy. It is not like any other foot therapies bcoz the masseurs are not human, but fishes - lots and lots of 'em!
The fishes are called Garra Ruffa (sounds like Piranha-ish ey?) or also known as Doctor Fish. What they do is, they will nibble away the scaly and dead skin on your feet, and also ease the symptoms of skin conditions like psoriasis and abscesses (whatever that is). The nibbling process feels like micro-massage, and it promotes healthy blood circulation of the skin.
Here's a short clip of the Doctor Fish that I managed to record:

Alhamdulillah, MZ and I sudah selamat di ijabkabul last Saturday night. Words can't describe the happiness and contentment that I'm feeling now - it's the bestest feeling I've ever felt (I'm sure you married people know that feeling too, huh!).
Anyway, I won't go into detail about the ceremony just yet as I don't have all the photos from start to the end, so lemme just show you the preparation pics a day before the wedding day.
Besides the bride (well, it's my wedding so of course, right? ;p), this li'l boy was also the center of everyone's attention on that night!

I can't describe what I'm feeling at the moment. This bride-to-be is excited and anxious and frantic and nervous and feverish all at the same time, and.. kinda drowsy too (must be the medicines).
Yeap, I have runny nose and my eyes are kinda red and watery as a result of bergelumang dgn habuk2 selama 2 hari. Not good, not good. I know brides are supposed to have "enough rest and sleep" before the Big Day but in my case, bride or not, I still have to do some of the housework since there's no one else yg bole diharapkan, except my mom and maid. But starting from today (hopefully), I can goyang kaki coz my grandma's maid is finally here to help with the cleanings. I just hope I could squeeze some time for last-minute pampering (massage, pedicure and manicure) a day before the Big Day!
Anyways, besides cleaning the whole house, here's the preparations for the final week:
- Dress-fitting at Kapas
- MZ and I had our last facials before the Big Day
- Montage preview at Manggis
- The landscape people came
Wednesday (today)
- Mr. A from Kapas came to my house for final dress-fitting
- appointment with Istana Budaya band to confirm about the list of songs
- the canopy people arrive
- Mr. F (my dad's friend, who's the ID and also the sponsor for bilik pengantin) will start decorating the room
- Mr. A from Kapas will deliver my veil and selendangs
- Dress-fitting with Rizman Ruzaini for the reception dress at Dewan Perdana
- Mr. K and his team from Kapas will start doing the two pelamins, hantarans and other deco
- last-minute pampering (hopefully!)
- berinai
Btw, I have 2 baju for this Saturday's event - supposedly, one is for nikah (white), and the other one is for sanding (off-white). Which means, right after akad, MZ and I will change to a different outfits for sanding. But now I'm not sure nak tuka2 or just wear satu baju jer for the whole ceremony bcoz my mom takut jadi kelam-kabut (what with my tudung and all). Should I, or should I not tuka2 baju? Has anyone experienced this kind of situation before...?

Oh, I'm talking about our honeymoon spot.
My dad will be sponsoring our honeymoon trip, and now after a month of thinking and researching, I still haven't made up my mind (I thought we're going end of next month, that's why). It ain't easy I'm telling ya; there's a whole wide world to choose from and you know the trouble I have with making decisions! All I know is that I wanna go somewhere colder than Malaysia, a place where both of us have never been before (but Europe/US is an exception - I mean, I've never been to US and he has never been to Europe), and of course tempat yg shopping best dan murah! We have to go right after my reception, which is hmm... in about 2 weeks' time (sempat ker ni?) as MZ will be starting work early of March. It's actually a last-minute decision bcoz of some unavoidable reasons (well, work. What else?).
I do have a few places in mind...
Tomorrow we're going to find some travel agencies and make our decision right then and there (I hope!). Kalau susah sgt, honeymoon kat kampung jela... ;p

Anyway, I can't be spending too much time blogging now bcoz starting from today onwards I'll be busier than before, so let the pictures do the talking.
12.30 noon - Food testing at Dewan Perdana
Now this is the happiest trip ever to Kapas bcoz:
a) one of my bajus turns out to be nicer than I thought (seriously my mom and I were so worried about it before. Which is why I didn't really blog about my dresses that much!), and
b) I asked Mr. A whether I should wear a corset and he said "No dear! You have a perfect figure already!"
Hee... that really made my day! ;D
(few days ago I received some remarks from some people saying I'm so kurus, and not slim. The way they said it was as if I was skeletal! Saba jela aku.. dulu masa gemok ngata2 gak. Skang dah slim down pon sama. It's so aggravating coz it's like whatever I do is not right, you know what I mean? But hey, as long I'm happy with the way I am then that's what matters bcoz I'm the one who is living inside this body of mine. Why should I care about other people's "concerns", right? And most importantly, my husband-to-be loves the new me! I'm sorry if I sound a bit too emotional - blame the PMS - but I just can't contain it anymore. Lemas la dengar isu kurus/gemok ni seriously!). There.
Actually, I'll leave that to you to figure it out ;) It's not fully finished btw.

MZ and I decided to pamper ourselves at Serenity Spa today, at Grand BlueWave Hotel. We chose the King and Queen Bridal Treat, which is a 5-hour top-to-toe treatment that includes intensive brightening facial, 4-step full body spa, foot scrub, manicure and pedicure.
After the facial, I was led to another room for the next treatment, which is the 4-step full body spa. It's a 2-hour treatment and it started with a 20-minute Thai Herbal Steam (kind of like sauna) and I was given a cup of warm water to drink after that. Then came my favorite treatment of all - the full body aromatherapy massage! I've done a few massages before (at different places), but so far this is the best. The Indonesian masseuse was a nice and polite lady, and she made me feel comfortable and I wasn't shy at all, which makes the whole process relaxing. After massaging, the treatment continues with a full body scrub. It was a choice between ground coffee mixed with clay or Himalayan salt scrub, so I chose coffee bcoz a) I've done salt-scrubbing before, and b) bcoz it helps to reduce cellulite (now if you drink it, the effect will be the opposite!). There was not a single part of my body that was not being scrubbed by the masseuse - depan belakang atas bawah, semua kena scrub! ;p But I felt squeaky clean after that! The last step of the full body spa is soaking in a tub of milk mixed with lavender oil, with candles surrounding the tub. Heaaaaavenn!
Finally came the foot scrub. My feet were soaked in antiseptic + lavender oil + flower petals, and scrubbed using sea salt and something else, which I'm not sure what it was. And as usual, before ending a treatment, we we served hot tea... Overall, thumbs up, especially the body spa. I am definitely coming again (as for facial, I still prefer Kaj above all).
p/s: Remember my wisdom teeth? Well, there was no pain for about a week after taking the meds but now they're aching again - even worse than before! Why laaaa...? *sigh* I guess I'll have to see the dentist tomorrow for more antibiotics..

Proving that one car company can never have too many crossover SUVs, Nissan adds yet another sport-utility-influenced vehicle to its lineup with the inclusion of the 2018 Kicks. The new small utility represents the sixth member of Nissan's crossover and SUV lineup.
Three trim levels are available on the 2018 Kicks: S, SV, and SR. All three utilize a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 122 horsepower and 114 lb.-ft. of torque, which pairs to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to deliver power to the front wheels - the same drivetrain used in the Nissan Versa models. Nissan expects the drivetrain to produce a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 33 mpg.
Standard features on the 2018 Nissan Kicks include an infotainment center with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and automatic emergency braking. A handful of optional features are available, such as a 360-degree camera and a Premium Package for SR trim. Official pricing has not been announced yet, but Nissan expects the 2018 Kicks to be priced well under $19,000, and to arrive at dealerships in June 2018.
Highlights of the 2018 Nissan Kicks:
- New compact crossover SUV model
- 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, expected to deliver 33 mpg combined city/highway fuel economy
- 7 exterior colors, plus five two-tone combinations
- Optional 360-degree camera
- Premium Package for SR trim includes Bose sound system
What We Think
Nissan has seemingly embarked on a mission to offer a crossover for just about every imaginable niche over the past decade, even turning the once-rugged Pathfinder into an SUV that shares a platform with the Altima. The 2018 Nissan Kicks is the most recent addition to that lineup, and quite frankly, it's hard to decipher who exactly it appeals to. The Kicks is the replacement for Nissan's Juke, yet the Juke had a much more robust standard drivetrain – as well as optional all-wheel drive – and a more powerful turbocharged engine that could be equipped with a manual transmission.
When it comes to cargo room, even the Versa Note, which is Nissan's entry-level hatchback, boasts similar cargo capacity numbers to the Kicks. The numbers don't lie: the 2018 Nissan Versa Note provides 18.8 cubic feet of volume with seats up, 38.3 cu. ft. with the seats folded down, and a total of 112.9 cu. ft., while the 2018 Nissan Kicks offers 25.3 cu. ft. with the seats up, 39.3 cu. ft. with the seats folded down, and a total of 119.2 cu. ft. of storage volume.
Nissan's Rogue Sport, which is offered with all-wheel drive, somehow utilizes space with the seats folded down much better than the Kicks, despite having nearly identical total interior volume capacities. Oddly, the Kicks actually possesses a more voluminous interior. Once again, the numbers tell the story; depending on trim, the Rogue Sport offers between 53.3 and 61.1 cu. ft. of space with the seats folded, and a total volume between 115.9 and 118.9 cu. ft., depending on trim.
Thanks to styling that mimics the rest of the Nissan crossover lineup, the absence of all-wheel drive, no drivetrain options with any type of gusto, and disappointing cargo capacity, the 2018 Kicks is easily overshadowed by many other offerings in Nissan's current lineup. The bottom line here is that while Nissan is capable of making interesting and practical cars, the Kicks, unfortunately, is neither.

The narrative in the upper right corner best describes this work of art:
"In the style of Donald Ross . . . Few drawings of Pinehurst Resort & Country Club were ever produced by Donald Ross.

Presented here is the routing plan for courses No. 1-5 as they exist today, drawn utilizing the same graphic styling Donald Ross used many years before."
This beautiful map is 18' x 24" and is printed on rugged 70 pound laid paper. Nicely framed, it is destined to be an interesting and treasured addition to every serious golfer's wall. At just $29.99, this wonderful map is a great value and makes a perfect gift for your favorite golfer.
The Map is a perfect companion to Mr. Mandells's Pinehurst – Home of American Golf (The Evolution of a Legend) (revised edition). A runner up for both the prestigious USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award and Foreword Magazine Book of the Year, it was named the International Network of Golf Book of the Year.

Mazergroup opens new Moosomin facility
July 23, 2018 7:37 am
Kevin Weedmark
Hundreds of people came out for the grand opening of Mazergroups new 25,000 square foot dealership Wednesday.
Bob Mazer said Wednesday that he was happy to be at the grand opening after the work that has gone into the new building.
It was a long time coming, he said.
We did do our due diligence, and thats why it took as long as it did. Im ecstatic with the way the facility came out. Im ecstatic about the location facing Highway 1. Im very happy with the new building, and I think our staff is going to blossom. It is a nice place to work for our employees, and it should help attract employees.
Besides greatly enlarging the dealership, Mazergroup has added a NAPA Auto Parts Store to the new dealership.
Its going well so far. Its good already, and it will only get better once we settle in, said Mazer. It brings people in the door who would not normally be coming to the building, and it helps with our staffing levels, so we can have five or six or seven parts people, which helps spread out the weekend work during harvest. Theres a huge benefit there. Were not affecting peoples home lives by asking them to work every second weekend. Thats critical. We have to look after our people so they can have good home lives and its not impacted by their work.
Now that the building has been completed, Mazer said the focus is on building up the business in Moosomin.
Weve gone from one to three salespeople in Moosomin, our regional manager is coming here two days a week, and our VP of sales and our director of sales are both spending some time out here helping out, and now its just a matter of being very diligent, he says. If someones looking for something, we need to be able to get it for them, and we can now, because we have some space.
According to industry numbers, the amount of new equipment sold out of Moosomin is the same as in Brandon.
We have a lot of room for growth, because were in the high teens in market sharethe other two guys have over 80 per cent. If we can get to 25 per cent market share we will be happy. We can make a very good business out of that. It might take some time to get there, but I know we will get there. Weve got good equipment. Its not just about the equipment, but about building relationships.
As business grows we will be adding to the staff. Im guessing we will get to nine or 10 techs and six or seven in parts. We should end up between 15 or 20 people.
This is the right size for the business we want to do in Moosomin.
Mazer told the crowd at the grand opening that he is proud to run a family business.
Its a family business, he said. The Mazer family are the majority owners of Mazergroup, yet we have twenty-some shareholders, and about 98 per cent of them are within our organization. All of our executive are shareholders. We really are very proud to be privately owned. Were proud to be involved with our communities, like Moosomin, and we will continue to be involved in our communities. We do not move money to Vancouver, or Calgary, or Torontoit stays within our communities. Were very pleased to be here in Moosomin, and were here for the long term.
We came here about 14 years ago and we didnt know at that time what to expect, and lo and behold, 14 years later here we are in a twenty-some thousand square foot facility. We didnt build it for us. We built it for youthe community and the customer base. We need to earn your business. We always will work towards that. We understand that we have to earn that business.

The New Germany Dutchmen amateur baseball team is a member of the Crow River Valley League, and has a strong tradition in the New Germany community.
In 2016, the Dutchmen improved upon their 2015 record by going 9-10 in league play (they went 5-15 in 2015). New Germany was swept by the Glencoe Brewers in the CRVL playoffs to end its season.
Managing the Dutchmen in 2016 was Steve Mielke, in his fifth year as manager.
Top hitters in 2016 included Austin Nichols, who led the team in batting average (.318); Shannon Storley, who led the team in home runs (1) and Sam Schiffman who lead the team in RBI (9).
Top pitchers included ace Hayden Meyer, who led the team in wins (3-4) and innings pitched (54.2). Meyer also led the team in strikeouts (31).
Fathers Day pork chop feed at New Germany
The Dutchmen host an annual Fathers Day pork chop dinner every year, and it has become one of the more popular baseball attractions during the summer.
A strong tradition
Baseball has been an important part of New Germany's history since the early 1900s, and is to this day.
New Germany baseball legend Gerald "Beans" Roepke noted that in the early 1900s until 1955, baseball in New Germany was played in Fred Hein's pasture, which is now Lindstrom Park.
In 1955, a new ballpark was built on School District 77 land, and dugouts and the grandstand were built with the help of volunteers.
In 1956, the New Germany city fathers organized a team, and with manager Harry Zellmann, joined the 7-Hi League, consisting of Excelsior, Hopkins, Hutchinson, Long Lake, Mound, Richfield, Winsted, and New Germany.
The ballpark was dedicated May 6, 1956. Later, the village of New Germany purchased the property.
Changes took place at the ballpark, and in 1970, the grandstand and dugouts were rebuilt.
In 1980, a chain link fence was installed and dedicated in memory of Dean Hensel, son of Loren and Dorothy Hensel, according to the New Germany Centennial Book.
In 1959, New Germany entered the Crow River Valley League with the teams of Glencoe, Green Isle, Hamburg, Lester Prairie, Mayer, Norwood, Plato, and Young America.
In this same year, the New Germany baseball team became known as the "Dutchmen" as its official name, by which it is still known today.
In 1987, the Crow River Valley League was split into two divisions, the North and the South. New Germany was placed in the North Division.
The Dutchmen were Crow River Valley League Champions in 1964, 1967, 1968, and 1971.
The Dutchmen have made five state tournament appearances; 1967 in Alexandria, 1968 in Springfield, 1970 in St. Cloud, 1971 in Brownton, and most recently in 1997, when they beat Buckman 7-5 in the first game, and lost to Le Sueur, 4-3, in the second game.
In 1971, the Dutchmen had their best showing at state, placing third.
In 2017, New Germany will be the host of the Region 7C tournament.
Hall of Famers
The New Germany Dutchmen have one member in the Minnesota Baseball Amateur Hall of Fame.
That member is Gerald "Beans" Roepke, inducted in 1993.
After 29 seasons of playing baseball, and before retiring from the Dutchmen, Roepke posted some impressive accomplishments.
In 1961 and 1980, he was voted the team's most valuable player; in 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1986, he had the Dutchmen's highest batting average; in 1981, he won the Crow River Valley League batting title, with a .446 batting average.
That same year, 1981, he was selected the Most Valuable Player in the Crow River Valley League all-star game.

Fabulous 8.6 From 80 reviews
it was fantastic the restort was clean and the stuff were too friendly
checkin staff very helpful. Lovely grounds. Great breakfast buffet
What a great resort. Slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta but still close enough for easy access. We held our sunset wedding here and everything was fantastic. The staff were great as were the facilities. Friends who we're staying close by also ventured back for the and Envy (the restaurant / bar). The suite was amazing - I wish we could've stayed longer
Loved staying here! The hotel and rooms are stunning. The breakfast was amazing. The beach is not very pleasant but the rest of the hotel is clean. They let us extend our checkout for 7 hours for $10 a hour - we had a flight late at night. On check out we were handed our bill and someone else had been charging drinks to our room. We had to demand to see receipts - which had somebody else's name and signature. Overall we enjoyed staying here and would likely return.
Prefect with the board walk along the beach areas .....

Information For
DePaul University Academic Affairs > Faculty Resources > Scholarship > University Research Council > Spirit of Inquiry Awards
In support of the University's belief that the quest for knowledge is the foundation upon which the idea of a university rests, and the purpose that unites both teacher and student, the University Research Council (URC) makes annual DePaul University Spirit of Inquiry awards. The awards honor specific research, scholarly or creative achievements that exhibit commitment to that spirit of creative inquiry, which we endeavor to inspire in our students.
The awards are announced at Convocation each autumn, individual plaques are awarded, and the awardees' names are added to a roster of Spirit of Inquiry award winners in the Executive Offices. The awards also carry a taxable stipend of $2,000 each.
The council encourages the recipients of a Spirit of Inquiry award to share their research with DePaul colleagues. Awardees may be asked to participate in a lecture, forum or discussion group.
Faculty who have completed research, scholarly, or creative projects are eligible. At the time of the award (the autumn following the nomination) faculty members must have completed three full years of teaching at DePaul, and must be full-time faculty.
The council will bestow a maximum number of eight awards each year, but may choose to make fewer awards, depending on the pool of nominees. Every attempt should be made to distribute awards among the colleges and schools; however, there is no set quota per unit, and the council may choose to award more than one nominee in a unit. Academic units that do not wish to nominate faculty are not required to participate in this program. Academic units that wish to suggest alternative approaches to recognizing excellence in research or scholarly activities for their faculty are most welcome to do so by writing to the council at email@example.com.
A faculty member who receives a Spirit of Inquiry award from the council may not be selected again in the five years immediately following. Faculty members may receive research awards from their colleges simultaneously with the URC award.
The award should recognize activities that demonstrate a significant contribution through creative, innovative, or solid, substantive work. Awards should not be made on the basis of high visibility or the amount of funding of the project, but rather should recognize research, scholarly, or creative activities of quality, rigor, and originality, and which result in important contributions to their field. The URC will weigh both the impact of the particular contribution on its discipline, field, or profession and the impact of the scholarship on the DePaul intellectual community in making their selection.
Awards may honor an individual's body of work, but in certain circumstances may honor the specific contributions of a faculty member.
Examples of specific work to be recognized might include a book, computer program, article, or musical composition, a contribution to a theatre production (directing, design, acting), a sculpture, or a poem.
Although the colleges and schools are urged to create mechanisms for nominating possible awardees, any dean, department chair, program director, or member of the faculty can make a nomination directly to the URC, and self-nominations are possible. Unsuccessful nominations are urged to be resubmitted for future years. All nominations should include the following:
Each Spirit of Inquiry award includes the following items:
February 1: URC Chair sends reminders to the deans and faculty about the May 1 deadline.
May 1: Faculty members' nominations are received electronically (via email) by the Chair of URC, including all support materials.
May 1 to June 1: URC reviews nomination materials and selects the recipients.
June 1: Chair notifies the awardees of their selection.
July 1 or after: Honoraria are distributed.
September: Awardees are honored at Convocation.
