Non-at-fault motor vehicle accident claims
With the passage of House Bill (HB) 207 in 2016, if an employer can establish that a claim from their employee is a result of a non-at-fault motor vehicle accident involving a third party, BWC may exclude the cost of the claim from the employer's experience.
The law requires that either the third party at-fault driver have active insurance coverage or the employer must have active uninsured motorist's insurance coverage to apply for the claim cost exemption.
This change in legislation may impact an employer's experience modification in premium development and to the experience used in premium development for an employer participating in a retrospective rating plan.
This provision of HB 207 became effective for accidents occurring on or after July 1, 2017.
For more information, see the Non-At-Fault Motor Vehicle Accident Claims - Surplus Fund Charge fact sheet.

BRISTOL — The town of Bristol is getting nearly $250,000 in federal funds for improvements to the road, sidewalk, streets and pedestrian walkways in the village center, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced Thursday.
"We're really pleased to get this money," said Bristol town administrator Bill Bryant. "These funds will help implement some of the physical improvements that have been planned for several years as part of an effort to maintain the downtown's vitality," he added.
Bristol selectmen aren't sure yet what specifically the money will be used for, according to Selectwoman Carol Wells. The selectboard has a number of projects it would like to address in the downtown area when time and money become available.
"We're getting prices for some of the different plans we have," said Wells, who is also a founding member of the Bristol Downtown Community Partnership, a nonprofit group devoted to improvements in Bristol downtown.
Those projects may include adding trees, a grassy area, footpaths, curbs and sidewalks to Prince Lane between Brooks Pharmacy, Shaw's Supermarket and the back of the Main Street businesses. The town may also add curbs to the Brooks Pharmacy parking lot or the corner of the town green near the playground equipment or new lights to the town green.
An estimate made in 2007 for the Prince Lane project alone was about $400,000, so the town would have to seek grants from other sources to support the rest of the work.

GOSHEN — The Vermont Supreme Court on Friday issued a majority opinion overturning the felony "cultivation of marijuana" conviction of a Goshen man on grounds that the man's constitutional rights were violated by authorities' aerial search of his property.
The ruling is expected to set a major precedent for how law enforcement in Vermont conducts aerial searches.
In June of 2005 Addison County District Court Judge Christina Reiss sentenced Stephen Bryant to 45 days in jail in connection with his cultivation of 49 marijuana plants that he said he'd been using to treat chronic pain from a horrific construction site accident he had sustained in 1974.
Vermont State Police detected his illegal crop during a helicopter flyover of Bryant's Goshen property on Aug. 7, 2003. They executed a search warrant the next day.
Bryant and his attorney, Robert Keiner of Middlebury, argued that Bryant had been using the marijuana for medicinal purposes and that the aerial photographs constituted an illegal search. A majority of the Supreme Court justices agreed to the latter argument but did not take up the former.
The opinion, written by Justice Marilyn Skoglund, noted — among other things — testimony offered by the defense quoting witnesses as saying the VSP's surveillance helicopter was less than 500 feet above Bryant's property for around 30 minutes.
"The (lower) court concluded that the police surveillance was not so intrusive as to violate the Vermont Constitution," the opinion reads. "We disagree and reverse."
The justices also noted that state laws governing aeronautics require that aircraft must maintain an altitude of at least 500 feet, except above water or sparsely populated areas.
NEW HAVEN — New Haven resident and property owner Steve Dupoise has filed a petition to rezone 20 acres of land along Route 7 south of Belden Falls Road to allow commercial development.
If the town votes to support the petition, Dupoise said that Town and Country Homes, a dealer of manufactured housing now based in Vergennes, would move to a five-acre parcel on the corner of Belden Falls Road and Route 7.
The planning commission of New Haven decided not to endorse the change, but the petition will result in a town vote on the matter.
In anticipation of the townwide vote, the commission will hold a public hearing to discuss the plan on Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m. in the town hall. The selectboard will hold a hearing after that and then the vote will be scheduled.
Steve and Marcia Dupoise own a parcel of about 30 acres on the west side of Route 7, south of Belden Falls Road. The southernmost 10 acres is zoned as highway commercial and is already the site of Ethan Allen Highway Storage, which they own.
Steve Dupoise said Town and Country Homes owners Pat and Lisa Whitley approached him to see about moving their business to the Route 7 site for greater visibility. Whitley could not be reached for comment, but if the proposal to rezone the area is granted, Dupoise said Town and Country Homes would probably resemble a housing development, with two or three sample homes on the site and a small office.
Dupoise said he had no plans for the space between the existing storage company and the proposed site of Town and Country Homes, although the proposal to rezone includes that parcel, too.
According to New Haven Planning Commission chairman Al Karnatz, the commission had decided not to recommend the change when Dupoise approached them.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) on April 28 will ask the Middlebury Development Review Board for permission to build a new headquarters off Creek Road to accommodate the organization's growing bus fleet, which serve the region's increasing demand for public transportation.
MIDDLEBURY — The organizer of a Dec. 28 underage drinking party that caused $10,600 in damage to the former summer home of Robert Frost in Ripton will not serve any jail time, but will pay $3,500 in restitution, perform 100 hours of community service and be on probation for two years.
Those were the main components of a plea agreement negotiated between Addison County State's Attorney John Quinn and 18-year-old Ripton resident Andrew Ford, who fainted during a courtroom discussion with Addison County District Court Judge Helen Toor as she accepted the plea deal on Tuesday.
Ford suddenly collapsed and appeared to lose consciousness as judge Toor queried him on his reasons for organizing the party at the Homer Noble House that drew more than two dozen people, many of them Middlebury Union High School students. Most of those students have already accepted court diversion as punishment for their roles in the destructive party, which has garnered national publicity.
Court officials quickly cleared the courtroom after Ford's collapse, but called off an ambulance after he quickly regained composure and completed the sentencing hearing, with his parents at his side.
"I have never scared someone so much that someone fainted in my courtroom," Toor told Ford in a brief light moment after order had been restored. "I was trying to scare you a little bit, but not that much."
Ford's punishment includes a suspended jail term of six- to 12 months and an educational course that he and the other culprits will have to attend. Quinn confirmed on Tuesday that he is speaking with Jay Parini, author and D. E. Axinn Professor of English and Creative Writing at Middlebury College, about leading the course to enlighten the youths about Frost's iconic status as an American poet.
SALISBURY — Don Ballou concedes that his body and mind are showing some signs of wear and tear.
He's more than entitled.
Ballou, a resident of the Shard Villa senior care home in Salisbury, will be celebrating his 100th birthday on Friday, March 28.
"I've been very fortunate in a lot of ways, and I've had a lot of help," Ballou said on Monday, in reflecting upon a very rich life that has included some 31 years as a mathematics professor at Middlebury College and a fulfilling retirement during which he has traveled to all corners of the globe.
"I'm quite indebted to all the folks who have helped me along the way, such as here (at Shard Villa) and at Elderly Services (in Middlebury)," he said.
Don Ballou was born on March 28, 1908, in Chester, Vt. Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House. Frenchman Henri Farman had just piloted the first passenger flight, and Robert Baden-Powell had just established the Boy Scout movement.
Chester was a wonderful place in which to grow up, Ballou recalled. He enjoyed going to school, where he developed a particular fondness for English and math.
He completed his undergraduate studies in English at Yale University, but decided to switch his focus to math after deciding that his mind "worked better" solving equations rather than "talking around a subject" in English.
So, Ballou went on to Harvard University for his graduate studies in math then took his first teaching job, as a mathematics professor at Georgia Tech in 1934.
He considered himself fortunate to land the job.
"It was toward the end of the (Great) Depression," Ballou said. "There weren't many positions available."
MIDDLEBURY — Local planners and developers joined the Douglas administration last week in panning a House-passed affordable housing bill they said was more of an anti-sprawl measure that would not substantially boost the state's stock of low-cost homes.
The bill, which received final approval in the House on Wednesday by a 79-61 tally, proposes to create economic incentives and streamline the Act 250 permitting process for developers proposing projects containing at least 20-percent affordable housing in and around designated downtowns and villages.
The bill also amends criterion 9L of Act 250 in a manner that opponents believe will make it harder to develop housing in rural areas and communities that don't yet have designated downtowns and villages.
"I don't doubt that the intentions of the bill are worthy, but the unintended consequences will be just the opposite of what it's hoping to accomplish," said Bill Sayre, a Bristol resident and leader of Associated Industries of Vermont, an organization that advocates for public policy that protects the "private enterprise economy" in the state.
Sayre and other opponents of the bill argue that it may actually make it harder for developers to build affordable housing — even at the monetary threshold prescribed by the legislation. That threshold is 80 percent of Vermont Housing Finance Agency's limit for new homes, which translates to $219,200 in Addison County — an amount that many argue is too high to be considered affordable. The legislation calls for the units to remain 'affordable' for at least 15 years.
Officials in communities that have designated downtowns or villages note there is little room left in, or around, those areas in which to create new housing, let alone at an affordable price.
BRISTOL — While some towns have struggled to find people to serve on various boards and elected offices, 11 Bristol residents have expressed interest in seats on the planning commission, with only two incumbents leaving. In fact, a total of 39 town residents have indicated interest in positions on eight town boards and committees.
Selectmen will interview the candidates at a special meeting on Monday at 7 p.m. in Holley Hall. They may make decisions regarding the candidates then, but Selectwoman Sharon Compagna said appointments, an annual activity after March town meeting, will probably not be made until the regular selectboard meeting on March 31.
Compagna attributed the increased interest to the fact that an application form for volunteer positions was included in the town report.
Others say the ongoing controversy over plans for a gravel pit on land south of downtown Bristol has apparently spurred greater civic involvement, particularly on the planning commission.
Town administrator Bill Bryant said other municipal groups attracted "not that level of interest," getting far fewer applicants per seat than the planning commission. The Revolving Loan Fund board, for example, only received four new applicants in addition to the seven members up for reappointment to one-year terms.
There are nine seats on the Bristol Planning Commission, each with a three-year term. Two of the members whose terms are up have expressed an interest in continuing, according to Bryant: Stan Livingston and Jim Peabody. Diane Heffernan, the third member whose term is up, isn't interested in serving again, and Bunny Daubner is stepping down even though her term isn't up until 2010, citing family health issues, Bryant said.

Dr. Rhonda Cohen gives her expert view on CNN World Sport about downhill skier Lindsey Vohn
Extract Below from link
But what is it about skiers that enable them to overcome such mental battles. Is it genetic?
Dr Rhonda Cohen manages the London Sport Institute at Middlesex University and is a chartered sport and exercise psychologist whose research centers on personality, motivation, risk and reaction times especially in examining the psychology of extreme sport.
"We are all born with a genetic pattern and obviously a genetic predisposition towards certain behavior," says Cohen.
Austrian skier Hans Grugger
"When you are born with more of an anxiety trait your natural reaction would be to get anxious in a stressful situation such as a broken leg.
"However, both Lindsey and Chemmy have developed excellent coping mechanisms, pushing aside thoughts of perhaps not ever being able to be the best in your sport."
But even extreme sports starts come to a point after an injury where they think enough is enough.
As Cohen pointed out: "Some skiers do give up. I have often found the length of their career as part of an odds game -- the longer they compete or engage in the sport, the greater the chance of something serious happening."
That happened in the case of Austrian skier Hans Grugger, a World Cup winner who suffered a serious head injury in a fall in 2011.
At the age of 30, Grugger made a full recovery from those head injuries but any hopes of a return to the slopes -- at least competitively -- were curtailed by nerve damage to his right leg.
He had suffered two serious falls before, much like Alcott and Vonn, and on both occasions opted to return.
"To me, that was not a problem, crashing is a part of skiing, and crashing never gave me fear for the next time," he explained. "But this accident was different. I couldn't come back."
His comments suggest he would still be competing if given the chance but Grugger is not so sure. "I don't know as I just feel happy to have my life," he adds.
"I was told if my head injury was one centimeter to the right or left, things could have been very different."
Perhaps fortunately the mental demons of the crash do not haunt him -- he has no memory from six weeks beforehand to about six weeks afterwards.
However, before returning to the slopes in a more amateur fashion, he opted to watch back his horror fall. "It was just me and my laptop," he recalls.
"It took me a time to press play -- my finger was hovering over play for a long time. But when I watched it, it was OK. It was just like watching someone else. So when I did first ski, I was not scared."
Unlike Grugger, in retirement from the age of 30, Vonn, who turns 29 on Friday, and 31-year-old Alcott have opted to return.
Despite their crashes, they show no signs of slowing down or hanging up their skis

Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir wrote about the singer Katherine Jenkins today, effectively accusing her of the heinous crime of "looking nice while running a marathon". Moir wrote: Among all the runners at the start of the race on Sunday, 32-year-old Katherine was uniquely red carpet magnifico. Her biscuity maquillage was flawless. Hosed on, as they say in the trade. The building trade. She had lashings of pink lip gloss, sooty false eyelashes and sweeping, coal black eyeliner. Not to mention a perfect silvery manicure, those ever-tanned limbs, her blonde hair pulled back into an immaculate ponytail and raisin-sized diamonds in her ears. At points during the race she would pop on a pair of £200 Prada sunglasses just to add to her athletic mystique. Perhaps the only miracle was that she didn't run backwards, in high heels, while singing the Welsh national anthem at the top of her voice. Apparently, Jenkins "simply can't help stealing the limelight", even while raising money for charity. Not particularly notable in itself, but Jenkins' response to the column was a supreme example of someone determinedly taking the high road. She posted via Twitter: I ran on Sunday in memory of my father & to raise money (£25,000) for an excellent charity (@macmillancancer) who helped him when he was dying. Yes, I twittered about it but I did so to share my progress & day with those kind people on twitter who had supported & sponsored me. I ran in sunglasses because it was sunny. I tied my hair back in a pony tail because I expected to sweat. As if you had some insider knowledge you wrote I was wearing eye shadow, eye liner& lip gloss. Wrong again - none of the above - I had Vaseline on my lips, handed to us by St Johns Ambulance on our way round the route. You can read her full statement here.

Nicole Wesner
Expert in Motivation / Willpower / Marketing
At the age of 32, when most other high performance athletes are thinking about the end of their careers, boxing suddenly entered Nicole Wesner's life with a big bang and turned her life upside down. At the beginning, she just wanted to participate in one fight. But experiencing being in the ring changed her priorities completely. She left her life as a manager in an international health care company to compensate for all the years of training she had missed when she started at 32 years of age.
"Nicole be wise, do a couple of fights and then leave it. What do you want to achieve at your age?" Often heard words combined with good advices, that it is not wise to leave the old safe life to begin such an intense sport as boxing at the age of 32. But dreams are there to be lived and where there is a will there is a way. Her dream was to become world champion, to become a great boxer. She was often told to be crazy, but in her mind it is crazier not to do it, because this is what she loves - boxing!
Out of the passion and motivation the success followed. As an amateur boxer, she won the Austrian national championship (she is German but now living in Austria) and international medals followed thereafter, but she could not get enough. And just some weeks ago she won her third championship - her great story of success will inspire you too.

Endless opportunities to keep children's minds active during winter break
Ideas and tips for families to foster continued learning and skills practice at home
SPRINGFIELD, IL – As the holidays approach, nearly two million Illinois public school students will take a much-deserved break from school to recharge at home with their families. Just because students are out of school, however, does not mean that learning needs to stop. There are a number of ways to keep children's minds active and foster learning outside of the classroom.
"The upcoming break allows children to sharpen the skills they have learned in school thus far,†said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "At the same time, there are a number of teachable moments in holiday activities that can further learning and ensure that children don't miss a beat when they return to school in January. Learning should always be fun, especially during this time of year.â€
Students can easily brush up on their reading, math, and science skills while partaking in fun activities that embrace both winter and the holiday spirit.
Reading and English Language Arts
A great way to foster reading over break is to take a family trip to the local library. If children do not already have their own library cards, sign them up for one and encourage them to check out both fictional and non-fictional books. Informational books on topics such as snow and the water cycle, penguins, the Iditarod sled dog race, and Chanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa might be especially engaging for children at this time of year. Biographies or newspaper articles about famous winter Olympians from Illinois (e.g., gold medalist speed skaters Bonnie Blair of Champaign and Shani Davis of Chicago and gold medalist figure skater Evan Lysacek of Naperville) could peak children's interest this winter as well.
Parents should encourage children to read every day over break for at least 30 minutes. For younger children, read to them for at least 15 minutes every day and have them read to you for equally as long. Children will be more inclined to read if it is a family endeavor, so set aside daily quiet reading time for the entire family.
Often times, connecting with family members can be a learning opportunity in disguise. Pam Reilly, the recently named Illinois Teacher of the Year, suggests visiting with grandparents or other older relatives to receive a mini history lesson—without students even realizing it. "Ask relatives how Christmas has changed or stayed the same since they were small children,†Reilly recommends. Children can then compare and contrast their relatives' experiences to their own. If relatives have immigrated to the United States from other countries, then students can learn about holiday celebrations from around the world and expand their knowledge of and appreciation for other cultures.
Mathematics and Science
The holiday break is a great opportunity for children to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply their math and science skills to the real world.
For children in kindergarten and first grade, "number talks†and "number stories†are a simple way to practice math daily. Encourage young children to create stories where they practice addition and subtraction. For example, "Chris has eight candy canes. He gives three away to his sister, so now Chris has five candy canes.â€
For children in third grade and above, Heather Brown, a mathematics content specialist, recommends baking as a means of incorporating fractions into holiday activities. "With the holidays, talk to students about doubling a recipe, or if you don't have enough of something, halving the recipe and seeing what the new measurements would be,†says Brown of the Illinois Center for School Improvement. Reading a recipe in a cookbook or from the back of a box allows children to see how math and reading work together in the real world.
For middle school children, Brown suggests using holiday shopping for gifts as good practice in using percentages. If items are on sale, have children determine their new prices based on the percentage by which they are discounted.
Children can put their measuring skills to the test as they wrap gifts. Reilly encourages parents to challenge their children to measure gifts and determine how much wrapping paper is needed for each without wasting any paper.
The inevitable cold winter weather can inject a daily dose of science practice for younger elementary school students. These cold and clear winter nights can be especially great for stargazing. Children can attempt to locate Polaris, the North Star, in the night sky. Stargazing can also demonstrate the earth's rotation. Note the position of a star in relation to an immobile landmark and return in one hour to see how the star's position has changed.
Children can also practice reading a thermometer and keep a log of each day's temperatures. They can calculate the difference in temperatures between days and make educated predictions about the next day's temperature. Working with thermometers also presents an opportunity to discuss the difference between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit and the freezing point of water in each scale. More advanced students can practice converting temperatures from one scale to the other (to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9).
Marking the occasion of the winter solstice (December 21st) is yet another way to sprinkle in some science concepts over the holiday break. Celebrate the shortest day of the year with children by playing outdoors while it is still light out. Explain to children how the winter solstice marks the official first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and how it is the day during which the sun rises and sets at its southernmost point in the horizon. The winter solstice is a nice segue into conversations about the summer solstice, the vernal and autumnal equinoxes and the seasons in general.
If children are drawn to wildlife, they might enjoy identifying animal tracks in the snow. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has activity sheets on mammals and other species native to the state (see link at end). The IDNR is also in the process of developing lessons aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), some of which can be found on its website. The NGSS are updated science and engineering standards for grades K through 12. The State Board of Education voted to begin the process of adopting the NGSS in September 2013 and will undergo a second read of the standards in January 2014.

I asked this question in another forum, and I'm trying also here:
I want to stain primery cells in suspension for cofocal microscopy.
(until today I had no problems with immunostaining cell which were grown on coverslips, but now it's more complicated situation because the cells are much more sensitive, and I think that all the process of fixation (formAl. 3%), permeabilization(triton-X), 1',2' Ab , DAPI and washes between the steps and spindowns over and over again will kill all my cells even if I begin with a lot of them.)
I there anybody who tried to do it?

How i became a..
It all started one day while I was shampooing my Great Dane, Toby. I was washing his belly and started to wash his balls, when I noticed that his large prick began to come out of its sheath. I was curious about what would happen if I rubbed it with my hand.
When I started to stroke his prick, it came fully out of it's fleshy covering. It was about 10" (since I didn't have a ruler, I'm approximating). Nevertheless, it was the biggest cock I could ever imagine. I've seen boy's cock in the shower after gym class, but none of them could compare to Toby. As I continued to rub my hand on his prick, his hips began pumping into my fist. I didn't realize it at the time, but he was actually fucking my hand. I put my face down closer to his prick to get a better view. He kept pumping into my fist and began to spurt his seed into my face. Shocked, at first, I jumped back and wiped my face with my hand. "I wonder what it tastes like," I thought to myself. I tentatively licked the cum from my hand and realized that it tasted pretty good…a little salty, but otherwise good.
I stuck my head down to his cock again and saw that he was still shooting his cum uncontrollably into the tub. I put my face directly in front of the sporadic stream and began catching it in my mouth and swallowing as fast as I could. When he didn't seem to be cumming fast enough, I put my mouth on his prick and began to suck the cum out of him. This was the first cock I ever put in my mouth.
Toby started pumping his hips again, fucking my sucking mouth and rewarded me with a huge load of doggie cum down my throat. I gagged and almost puked when his cock buried itself in my gullet, but I relaxed my throat muscles and he was able to push it further in my mouth. Load after load, he shot down my throat and, as fast as I was able to swallow, he still overflowed my mouth and spilled his come on my neck.
After he finished his orgasm, he was still shooting small streams of cum for me. I must have swallowed a pint or more of his cum. I found myself getting excited in a place I never felt before this day. I noticed my little penis was hard. I started to rub it to get rid of the tingling sensation, but the more I rubbed it, the more it tingled. "Maybe I can do the same as Toby did," went through my mind.
I pulled my pants and underwear off and started to stroke my little dick like I stroked Toby. My cock got harder and harder. Toby looked over at me and moved closer. He stuck his long tongue out and licked my prick. That was more than my little tool could stand and I experienced my first orgasm. Not much cum came out but Toby returned the favor and licked the cum as it came out of my dick. Wow!!! That was great!!! I was hooked. I started to masturbate every day…myself and Toby.
Then one day I was naked and cleaning myself up after cumming on my stomach. I was bending over wiping some off my leg, when Toby reared up behind me and locked his forepaws around my waist. His weight brought me down to my knees. His prick found its way to my asshole and penetrated me in one push. I screamed out in pain, but that didn't even phase Toby. He began fucking my ass like he fucked my mouth. Strong powerful strokes pushed him deeper into my tortured asshole. The hurt started to subside, and I started to enjoy it. He pumped harder and faster, deeper into me. He finally sank his entire length in me. Then I felt a larger object poking at the opening of my ass. It was his knot! He was trying to fit it inside me , too. When he pushed it in, the pain was renewed. I felt as though I was being torn apart, starting at my asshole. Furiously he kept pumping. Gradually, I became accustomed to his knot and, once again began to feel my cock getting hard again. As Toby fucked my ass, I stroked my cock.
Toby began to come and that sent me into another orgasm. I had never cum as quickly, after cumming just a few minutes before, as I did that day. Toby shot load after load into my ass. I felt like my ass was filled with a balloon. Finally he finished, but he couldn't come loose from my ass. He was stuck! I began to panic because my sister was supposed to be coming home soon. As hard as I pushed, he just couldn't pull his cock out of me.
Suddenly, my x year old sister walked in the room. I was mortified, but she looked only mildly surprised. "I see you found out that Toby is a multitalented dog," she smiled, "I've been letting him fuck me for two years. Now, we both can get off, without the headaches of having boyfriends or girlfriends. But, if you don't want me to tell Mom and Dad, you're going to have to start eating my pussy and fucking me, too. Deal?"
What else could I say? But, that's for my next story.

The New Bern Bears have won six-straight, and are scoring nearly 40 points per game.
The New Bern Bears have won six-straight, and are scoring nearly 40 points per game.
Head coach Bobby Curlings is pleased with the team�s progression, but doesn�t think they�ve played their best football yet.
The Bears (6-2, 3-0 Eastern Carolina), coming off a bye week, travel to Southern Wayne High School on Friday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
�I feel like we�ve gotten a little better each week and a little more confident,� Curlings said. �We are still not as good as we are capable of being.
�We have made a lot of strides and I am excited about the possibilities.�
New Bern�s last time out, a 56-7 win over South Central Oct. 11, it forced six turnovers and gained 381 yards on offense.
Quarterback Michael Hughes has passed for 1,107 yards with 10 touchdowns to one interception. The junior has gained 708 yards on the ground and 19 scores.
Senior running back Cody Purdie has 884 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while wide receiver Deauntae Grimes has 30 receptions for 365 yards.
�It�s mainly been execution,� said Grimes. �If we execute the way we are supposed to, use our speed and talent and skills, we are good.�
New Bern�s defense is yielding just 13 points per game.
�We continue to create turnovers,� Curlings said. �If we keep doing that, we are going to be in good shape. We are winning the turnover battle in most games.
�Hopefully they can continue to play physical and keep creating turnovers.�
Southern Wayne (2-6, 0-3) lost to South Central, 28-6, last week. The Saints lost to C.B. Aycock, 35-28, earlier this season � a team New Bern walloped 72-7.
Curlings said the Saints run their offense out of a Wing-T formation and line up in a 3-5 formation on defense.
�They play hard,� Curlings said. �They have a very good running back. He is physical, with speed and plays on both sides of the football.�
Despite their record, Grimes said the Bears can�t overlook Southern Wayne. New Bern finishes the regular season with games against D.H. Conley and J.H. Rose over the next two weeks.
�I am pretty sure they can put up points if you overlook them,� said Grimes. �A lot of people have been talking about how our conference isn�t as strong as it was last year and we are not as physical, and there are a lot of things people say, but we just block it out.
�You can never really be satisfied with how your team is doing.�
Havelock�s Scott moves forward after milestone
HAVELOCK -- Havelock running back Derrell Scott is known for his speed and quick moves that leave defenders grasping at air. Against White Oak last Friday, the Ram senior proved he�s also a good mudder.
Scott ran for 225 yards and three touchdowns, eclipsing 5,000 career rushing yards in the process, as Havelock defeated the Vikings 54-0 on a rainy Friday night in Jacksonville.
�You just really have to emphasize ball security,� Scott said of playing in the rain. �You just have to really try to get north and south and not try to do too much. You�re just trying to get what you can get and take care of the football in weather like this.�
Rain began falling before Friday�s kickoff and continued through the third quarter. The Rams struggled offensively in a scoreless first quarter, but after stopping White Oak on fourth down inside the Ram 10-yard line, Havelock turned to Scott.
The senior took a handoff up the right sideline for 78 yards, switching field position and setting up Havelock�s first score of the night, a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Travis Sabdo to Matthew Boykin.
Scott scored from 12 yards out in the second quarter, and with the Rams leading 21-0 in the third quarter, he basically put the game away with a 65-yard touchdown run. On the play, Scott went over 5,000 rushing yards in his Havelock High career and now stands at 5,042 yards on 553 carries with 76 touchdowns.
The humble Scott wasn�t aware of the mark and took no credit for the achievement.
�Really, I give all the credit to the offensive line,� he said. �They give me big holes, and I just try to get vertical as quick as I can, try to make somebody miss and lower my shoulder at the next defender and hopefully break something.�
Scott is being recruited by just about every top college football program in the country, and speculation about his future follows him everywhere he goes. Various recruiting websites and magazines list what are said to be his favorites but Scott is quick to point out that he has not made a decision. He�s trying not to let all the hype and attention affect him.
�(College) coaches are always telling you how good you are and how much they want you to come and play for them,� Scott said. �But, I�ve got good parents around me to keep me humble.�
Scott said he wasn�t sure when he would make a decision, and that he has planned recruiting trips to South Carolina and Florida and to see N.C. State play North Carolina.
He said all the attention hasn�t become overwhelming.
�I try not to think about it a whole lot,� he said. �I try to focus on my team and what we have to do each and every week.�
This week, that focus is on West Carteret, with the Rams traveling to Morehead City for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
For Scott, he�s just enjoying playing football.
�I just thank God for everything,� he said.
Eagles in championship battle
VANCEBORO -- With three games remaining in the regular season, the West Craven Eagles are in the hunt for a Coastal Conference Championship.
The first step is playing in Jacksonville against a stout Cardinals bunch on Friday at 7 p.m.
West Craven (6-2, 3-0 Coastal) has put up more than 31 points in each of its conference games.
The catalyst has been quarterback Alkeim Harley, who has passed for 795 yards, rushed for another 256 and accounted for 13 scores.
Running back Tyquail Raynor leads the ground attack with 231 yards, while Tyrone Brown (248 yards) and Danny Harvey (222 yards) are the top receivers.
Jacksonville (6-2, 2-1) had its lone conference loss to Havelock Oct. 4. The Cardinals, who were off last week, is led by quarterback Vincent Siders and running back Jermaine Linton.
Defensively, they�ve allowed 15 points per game, while the offense is scoring 21 per game.
Havelock News� Ken Buday contributed to the story.
