house. All girls are permitted
to inspect the boys' domain, and
the girls' dormitory is open to the
scrutiny of the fellows. Open
house continues until 7:30 p.m.
From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. dinner
will be served to students and
alumni in the dining hall. Also,

Parade Scheduled
I p.m. Tomorrow
_Escorted by police, Don Stipe
and Barbara Olander, host and
hostess of the homecoming festiv-ities,
will lead a parade of floats
down Snelling Ave. tomorrow at
1 p.m.
The parade, directed by Roger
Moberg, will start on Arlington
Street between Arona and Snell-ing
Avenues and finish at the
Norton field on the Hamline cam-pus
where the homecoming game
will be played.
The floats, entered by the col-lege
classes, language clubs, and
other campus organizations, will
be judged in the same way as the
dormitories on originality, beauty,
and creativeness.
Any last minute information or
offers of assistance may be direct-ed
to either Russ Sandblom, chair-man
of the homecoming commit-tee,
or Roger Moberg.
Bloodmobile Here
The recreation room of Edgren
Residence will be the headquart-ers
for a Bloodmobile unit on
Friday, Oct. 29, 9 a.m. through 3
Anyone between the ages of 18
and 60 is eligible to give blood.
However, those under 21 must
first secure a parent's signature.
An article received by Miss Do-ris
Moberg, school nurse, gives
some of the uses of blood. A few
of these are:
"It keeps surgery patients alive
through critical operations.
"It is used to treat the victim of
accidents which happen in the
home and on the highway.
"It pulls many sick and injured
people through long illnesses.
Homecoming Prog.
Dr. Clarence Nelson, president
of North Park college and Theo-logical
seminary, is the main
speaker on tomorrow night's pro-gram
to begin at 8:00 p.m. in the
fieldhouse. The theme of his mes-sage
will be homecoming keynote,
"Joint Heirs with Christ."
Dr. Nelson is well known in the
Twin Cities, where he served as
associate pastor of the First Cov-enant
church of St. Paul, later as
pastor of the Salem Covenant
church in Minneapolis, and most
recently as president of Minneha-ha
Academy from 1944 to 1950.
He has held his present position
since 1950.
Master of ceremonies for the
program will be the Rev. Carl
"Cully" Olson, recently returned
from the Alaskan mission field.
President Lundquist will give the
Music will be provided by the
newly-formed College Choir, for-merly
the Chapel Choir, under the
direction of C. Howard Smith.
The group will sing "Songs of
Praises" and "All Hail the Power
of Jesus' Name." The Mantzke
quartet will present a few vocal
numbers. Dick Anthony, staff or-ganist
of radio station WMBI in
Chicago and former Bethelite, will
sing and play.
Miss Moberg reassures, "There
should be no fear at all in giving
a pint of blood, and you can be
assured that you will not be sub-jected
to any pain whatsoever. In
other words, it is really a pleas-ure
to give blood because you can
realize that someone is very thank-ful
to you for having done so."
Entry blanks must be placed in
the "Letters to the Editor" box,
in the hall outside the chapel, by
3:00 p.m. next Friday, October
22nd. The five top entries will be
posted Monday, October 25th, and
the vote on these five is scheduled
for chapel time, Wednesday, Octo-ber
The contest is open to all col-lege
and seminary students, the
faculty, and the administration.
Each person may make as many
entries as he wishes, but each
name proposed must be on a sep-arate
entry blank. Time and date
of the entry must be sure to be
included as duplicate entries will
be considered as to the time they
were made.
Members of the contest commit-tee
are Barbara Olander, Marilyn
Anderson, Marlys Malmsten, Rog-er
Hedberg, and Eugene Johnson,
faculty representative.

Dormitory Expansion
Completed By Fall '55
A program for dormitory expansion, made possible by a quarter
million dollar government loan, was finally accepted by the board of
education last Wednesday night. The expansion, to enlarge Bodien
and Edgren residences and the dining hall, is to be completed by the
opening of the fall quarter of 1955.
The decision of the board was to make final application for a
loan of a long term, low interest rate from the government which has
already set aside this sum of money for the school. The sum, approxi-mately
between $200,000 and $300,000, will be amortized by dormitory
income. As a result, there will be no need for an appeal to the denomin-ation
for additional finances.
The expansion of the dormitories will make possible housing for
an additional 100-140 students.
Acting on the assumption that the enrollment of Bethel will be
doubled by 1965, President Carl H. Lundquist announced that the
board of education also is discussing plans for a combination tennis
court and ice rink, a chapel building extended from the library, and a
permanent athletic site off-campus for both collegiate and intramural
This loan and others being offered to colleges throughout the
country are being made available to help house the increased enroll-ment
anticipated in the future.
'54 Homecoming Opens

Homecoming, 1954, officially began this morning at 8 o'clock with
the commencement of alumni registration.
The first main event on the Homecoming calendar is the variety
program, which will be held in the field house tonight, beginning at
8 o'clock. Those who attend will learn the details of this program of
entertainment which has been planned.
The festivities will be resumed tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock
when the Homecoming parade will leave from the college to procede
to the scene of the football game.

1927, he is known on campus by
his "Americanized" name, Gerald.
He stands five feet, eleven inches,

brown hair and blue eyes.
Saved at the age of five, Gerald,
through soul-disturbing war ex-periences

"I have been most impressed by
the slight class difference in Am-erica
as compared to what I have

"Also very impressive has been

Mood Music
by Phil Caldeen
Tense and tired from a jarring,
tedious ride, the tall, thirtyish
gentleman found the peace of twi-light
the perfect atmosphere for
relaxation—and reverie.
He walked toward the college
building without any particular
purpose. Up the cement stairs,
now a little more chipped and
worn, through the door that still
gives a boost, if one doesn't move
fast enough, and downstairs he
went. The post office at the bot-tom
of the stairs aroused memor-ies
of his frequent visits (never
less than ten a day) to his P. 0.
Next he turned to the student
lounge (A big improvement from
his student days, when food and
fellowship were enjoyed in five
or six snug booths.)
The present lounge occup;es what
he knew as the "cracker box" or
gym. Outstanding in his memories
of the old basketball court and
indoor track is the night he whip-ped
Eric Borgeson in a fierce ser-ies
of "four horse" games.
Up stairs on the second floor, he
looked into 75 various class rooms.
How odd they seemed—empty and
silent. On one of the blackboards,
he read the noble, but erroneous
declension of "der, des, dem, der."
He knew exactly how the author
of it felt. He could laugh about it
now but it sure was agony at the
"Well, one more look around,"
he said, and paused by the head
of the stairs. He turned to the
clock as it jumped ahead'
another minute. Those clocks al-ways
had a way of getting fast
when an eight o'clock class ruin-ed
those extra winks of sleep,
(and slow when the prof. became
particularly boring about noon).
With a half-sigh, half-chuckle,
he headed down the stairs.
"About time for the program,"
he said, but his mind was still
upstairs in the classroom, down-stairs
in the gymn. in. the
coffee shop, in the halls talking
with the gang .. .
Empty halls whisper his soft,
slow descent.
EUGENE SPRINKLE, junior,
says: "This prize money will be
just enough to zero out my ac-count
with the Minneapolis police
department on my overdue traffic
That was due to a big demand
for teachers in rural schools in
South Dakota. After graduation in
high school, I attended summer
school classes and then began
teaching in the fall.
On leaving the Invasion Army
I enrolled in a state teachers' col-lege.
There the Lord granted me
many opportunities to witness for
Him and the sacred privilege of
praying with various college stu-dents
for their salvation. However,
often I longed for Christian fel-lowship.
It couldn't be found on
that campus.
One morning while attending an
assembly program, I compared
that unholy program with a chapel
service at Bethel. It was then that
I decided to attend Bethel College.
Bethel is becoming more and
more a house of God. I consider
chapel services the highlight of
Bethel. I am assured by the peace
within that I am in His will by
being on this campus.
ROYAL BLOOM, professor of
psychology, says: "Due to individ-ual
differences and the great pro-bability
of winning this $10 (dis-covered
by latest statistical meth.
ods), I would say there is great
significance in winning this prize.

a new adding machine for my
statistics class.)"

The Smudge of Intramurals
The intramural program of our campus is still staggering around
in a blind daze after being kicked around for several years. Last year
an early attempt to rejuvenate it was made by the athletic council,
which later sought help from the athletic department. Regardless of
what assistance might have been extended, intramurals still finished
the year with a traditional bruised reputation.
Considering the "tell-taleness" of time alone, is this to conclude
that intramurals cannot succeed on our campus? There never will be
full participation? There never will be an accumulated interest? Maybe
some feel that because Bethel is peculiarly Christian in nature there
is no place for intramurals. Pity on such persons!
It's interesting that other evangelical schools can have successful
programs in operation. Yet, for some reason there is no evidence of
competitive interest and participation on our campus. There could be.
Why not adapt a program of intense competition that would even
reach out from intramurals to put a little life into some other com-petitive
laziness. That's an issue in itself to be dealt with later. But,
in considering an effective intramural program, it can't be overlooked.
Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, has solved the
problem by forming literary societies. Membership is open, but is re-quired.
The societies, tagged with Greek letters, enter each phase of
campus life, but their impact is most keenly felt in intramurals.
Closer to home is Sioux Falls College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
which follows a tribal set-up very similar to the previously mentioned
literary societies. Although called a "tribal" set-up, membership is on
the same basis, open, but required
Successful? Tremendously.
In view of the critical need for some such program on our campus,
the following, adapted from the programs mentioned above, is submit-ted
for our consideration:
1. Four organizations for men and four organizations for women
shall be established on our campus to create active interest and parti-cipation
in intramurals (and other competitive campus functions).
2. These organizations shall have a membership maximum of not
more than 50 members.
3. All unmarried students of the college shall belong to one of
these organizations (special exceptions should be considered).
4. Students may be "rushed" by members for a period of one week.
Then, if not subscribed, students shall be designated to a group by an
athletic council.
5. The organizations shall reserve the right to name their own
group (certain restrictions should be made for consistency: Greek let-ters,
Indian names, etc.)
6. Regular organizational officers shall be elected by each group.
7. Each organization shall individually emphasize participation in
any competitive campus function.
If these suggestions meet with your favor, then drop a note in the
hallway across from the student affairs office. Why be a Moses in the
wilderness when there's a Canaan in view?
Look What You've Been Missing
Many students, and you may be one of them, are unaware of the
function of Bethel's cultural council. Let's get acquainted with the
council's activities.
Recognizing a need for cultural advancement, Bethel installed this
council the year before last; farsighted students and faculty realized
that we needed the council to round out the liberal arts college pro-gram.
The painting and photographs displayed in the coffee shop last
year, the lectures on art, and the cultural films shown in the chapel,
are credited to the council.
This year's plans are not yet complete, but the following will give
you an idea of their intentions.
An informative program is being planned on current political ques-tions.
Visiting lecturers in the area of theological thought are being
Good news by way of films this year too: the council will have
showings of a variety of educational films. Literary masterpieces and
films to satisfy the scientific-minded will be included. It has been
hinted that such nature films as Disney's Beaver Island may also be
Bethel's curriculum is well provided with activities in music;
therefore, the council feels the need for introducing the student to the
man behind the music. To complete our cultural development, we
should have a general knowledge of the great artists who have given
us so much of themselves.
Since we realize that in order to have a complete education and a
well developed social understanding we need to cultivate our cultural
interests. Let's "get behind" the cultural council and show them that
they have our support.
Why I Came to Bethel
By Pearl Anderson
My experiences in God's Invasion Army in 1951 opened my eyes to
my need to continue my education.
In introducing our group to the different churches, it was custom-ary
for each member to tell his name, state, previous occupation, and
favorite Bible verse. Each time my turn came, I sensed a peculiar un-comfortable
feeling. I wasn't ashamed of having taught a rural school,
but of the lack of preparation I had had.
I felt that the congregation ex-pected
me to have completed my
college training and I had scarcely

THE CLARION Paso 3
ta the edito4
Editor's note: In the last issue
of the CLARION someone asked
about off-campus rules for male
students. The context of the letter
explained that male students who
are on campus have no time-limits;
therefore, why should those who
are older and upper classmen be
bound by such rules? Miss Larson,
office manager, has explained that
the letters were merely sent by
mistake and were not intended
for the men at all.
Dear Editor:
Have you noticed the visiting
done among the students in chap-el
before the program begins? I'm
sure that no one has to be con-vinced
that it is highly disrespect-ful
to the Lord; they only need
to be reminded. I have really
been ashamed more than once be-cause
of all this noise especially
when we have had a guest speak-er.
There's something else that
needs to be mentioned here also;
students are reading their mail
during chapel! Last year Mr. Dal-ton
told the students in one of
his history classes: "I was shocked
to see some students reading their
mail in chapel today—while the
speaker was delivering a message
on 'Christian Ethics'!"
Dr. Bob Smith pointed out still
another matter. He said that the
speaker shouldn't feel obligated
to hold our attention.
Don't you feel that unnecessary
disturbances make the message
less effective and are distracting
to those who sincerely wish to
benefit from it?
Something really should be
done! It would be so good if the
reform came from within the stu-dent
body. Do you have any sug-gestions
on how they could be,
come more aware of this problem?
Editor's note: The only sugges-tion
is that examples could be set,
even by yourself. Certainly a few
individuals could at least introd-uce
the idea of reverence. Maybe
some people aren't aware of the
music which is played for medita-tion
and not as a background for
the roar that preceeds the service.
Dear editor:
I love to go to the chapel ser-vices
because I find them a vital
part of each day of school. But
back of the building because the
front seats are filled. Even though
I usually have to sit toward the
I don't mind sitting back there I
usually have a rough time hearing.
It isn't because of the noise
back there as much as it is from
having what seems to be an inad-equate
"PA" system that I can't
hear. Maybe the "PA" isn't turn-ed
on or maybe just not quite
I'm sure that the administration
is not aware of the fact that when
the chapel is filled to its capacity
it's extremely difficult to hear
much of the time. Perhaps you
could suggest to them either turn-ing
up the volume on the present
system or else getting an adequate
Just one more word: most of
the time when the "PA" is on
the speakers aren't close enough
for the mike to pick up their voic-es
anyway. I'd like to profit from
chapel fully even when it's filled
to capacity.
Editor's note: This letter and
the following one will be brought
to the attention of the business
office which handles these servic-es.
These two letters are good ex-amples
of the type of letters we
want to publish in the CLARION
to present student expression.
Dear Editor:
I have no objection to eating
lunch in gulps, but I have sympathy
for those people who sit nearby
and get splattered by the gulps
that miss. The reason for such
behavior is that I have a fifth
hour class. This demands a mad
dash to the dining hall so that I
may get to the head of the line.
After I find a seat and practic-ally
inhale my food, I say to some-one
next to me, "I have a fifth
hour class (burp); mind carrying
my tray?" and then leave before
he says "No." By then it's 12:15
p.m. and all the fourth hour class-es
have been dismissed. It takes
some fancy broken field running
to get my coat, go up the stairs,
and ultimately end up in the
class room (at a loss for air) on
time. Three minutes later my
stomach arrives.
All this could be removed for
not only me but also for a num-ber
which is sufficient to make
up a respectable football team. If
the dining hall were opened just
five minutes to twelve instead of
twelve, it would ease the pressure
on us considerably. Then we all
could find out what we're eating
while we're eating it.

Enrollment Falls Penny Pitch . . .
by Donn Goss
As in any off-year election (Congressional election), the most im-portant
question is, "Will the country support the party in power?"
This question has been even more dramatic this year because of special
emphasis by the President and Veep on the issue that the President's
program would be miserably lost if the country does not give him a
Republican congress to work with.
The CIO recently ran a poll to gauge the reaction of the country
to its labor-endorsed candidates, and to note, in general, any vote
trends in the country. The noted result was that the majority of the
people approve of President Eisenhower and his program; they also
think of the 83rd congress as having done a pretty good job. The
main irritation to the public was that the President had not done en-ough
to relieve unemployment. Still the CIO noted no national trend
toward the Democratic party.
Major Republican leaders, however, seem less confident. President
Eisenhower in a radio and TV speech in Los Angeles last week made
his most positive appeal to the nation to return a Republican congress
to Washington. Then, in a second address slated to be a non-partisan
plea for the public to get out and vote, he changed the text and bluntly
asked for a Republican congress.
Veep Nixon was pressing the issue in a four-day campaigning spree
in which he spoke to 15 cities and towns, stating the necessity of voting
Republican, Joseph Martin, speaker of the house, was also on an extend-ed
"Vote Republican" tour.
The signs seem to say the Repubicans are greatly worried about a
Democratic trend.
On the other hand, the Democrats are in the rather favorable posi-tion
of being to sit back and say, "See, you need us back." And, they
have been making these statements often to a nation easily swayed
by sentiment.
Still this talk is taking its toll and the worry of the Republicans
is well grounded. This shapes up as a very close, very interesting
Official enrollment figures for
the fall quarter reveal a drop from
last year's enrollment.
There are 382 in the college
and 132 in the seminary. Of these
numbers eight are duplications—
that is, students who are attend-ing
classes in both the college and
the seminary. Therefore, the total
enrollment is 506.
. In the college there are 164
freshmen, 124 sophomores, 45 jun-iors,
37 seniors, 1 special student,
and 11 unclassified.
Much of the drop may be ac-counted
for in the decrease in
seminary enrollment, which was
159 last year. The college classes
have remained relatively stable ex-cept
for the senior class, where the
drop is largely due to last year's
small junior class.
Another interesting fact is that
the college has 228 men and 154

Russ explained that because of
the rapid growth of the student
body, and because so many stu-dents
have shown interest in intra-murals,
that the council feels they
should eliminate the old system
of dividing teams by the different
sections of the country. They also
feel that the new system will be
more efficient, teams will be mure
balanced, and those interested
will have a far greater chance to
The council has appointed 14
students whom they believe will
act as capable captains of their
respective teams. Sheets are post-ed
in both the dining hall and the
post office for signatures of those
who are interested.
Other members of the athletic
council are Clifford Anderson,
Darold Snyder, Carolyn Dahiquist,
Beverly Carlson, and Wally Peter-son,
faculty advisor.

Biggest Score This Year
As Royals Wallop Beadle
The Bethel Royals walloped General Beadle 34-0 on Oct. 2, 1954,
for one of their biggest victories in over two years.
In the first half Dave Eggen, end, tackled a Beadle player in the
end zone for a safety and shortly after caught a touchdown pass. Ed
Brunzell plunged over the goal line to give the Royal gridmen a half
time lead of 16-0.
Harley Adamson broke the game wide open in the second half
with two touchdowns; speedy halfback George Wessman raced across
the goal line for another score. Ed Brunzell accounted for two of the
Royals' extra points.
The 34-0 score rolled up against the teachers' college was the
highest made by the Royals since the team beat Emmetsburg, Iowa,
31-0 in 1952.

Northland Edges Bethel
The Bethel Royals bowed to a strong Northland eleven, 9-6, last
Saturday on their home field. The defeat was brought about by lack
of offensive punch in the clutch and a lucky Northland break.
Bethel, throughout the afternoon, was threatening the Lumberjacks
goal line, but managed only one touchdown to show their efforts. The
touchdown was scored by fullback Carl Sundeen in a hard smash from
the 2 yard line.
Northland, after having one of their punts roll dead on the Bethel
three, was able to trap Harley Adamson behind the goal for a safety.
They also scored shortly after the second half kickoff.

giant rises to a height of 6'5" and
tips the scales at 205 lbs. A veter-an
of three years, he is one of

Starting at left tackle this year
is Vern Peterson. As a 19-year-old
junior, 6' 1", 180 lbs., Vern
is planning on a coaching career
and a teaching position in the
field of social studies. He played
two years of prep ball at Aitkin,
Minnesota. Following his prep ex-perience
is two years of college
ball. His drive, determination,
and experience make him one of
the reliables of the forward wall.
As in former years, the team
will go into the game as under-dogs.
However, with the impetus
of Homecoming and with the sup-port
of a loyal and enthusiastic
student body, the gridders will
attempt to off-set the odds.
Thus far this year, the Royals
have turned in a two won-two lost
record. Having won their tilts with
Itasca and General Beadle, while
losing to Jamestown and North-land,
they will endeavor to im-prove
their record.
Coach Lynn Lundin has felt that
the team has shown good hustle
and steady improvement this sea-son.
He also states that the boys
can score a homecoming victory

"We have a good line." Lorraine
Franz, freshman and cheerleader
"We are particularly strong at the
guard position." Don Stipe, junior
--"Neto." Walfred Peterson, pol-itical
science instructor—"A decid-ed
improvement over last year."
Eric Borgeson, custodian—"Well,
I tink de do all right."

CaroMont Health fired CEO and President Randall Kelley on Monday night, ending his tenure on the heels of three turbulent weeks for the local hospital.
The health-care nonprofit�s board of trustees made the decision at the end of a marathon meeting Monday night. It began at 5 p.m. and lasted almost seven hours, with the board finally coming out of closed session and voting 8-2 to terminate Kelley�s contract just before midnight. Board Chairman H. Spurgeon Mackie Jr. abstained.
Click HERE to read related story about physician dissent with Kelley
CaroMont leaders declined to specify who among the 14-member board was present and how they voted. Board member Jason Williams, who is also a Gaston County commissioner, said one of the votes to retain Kelley was cast by board member David Smith.
Doug Luckett, CaroMont�s executive vice president and chief operating officer, was appointed the interim CEO. He filled the same role after former CEO Valinda Rutledge left in May 2011, following a year and a half on the job.
The move came after Kelley and the board discussed �recent comments and issues expressed by our community, medical staff and workforce,� according to an email from CaroMont Health. Kelley and the board agreed �his separation from the organization is in the best interest of CaroMont Health,� it said.
�With these actions, the board will enter a period of reflection to evaluate the current environment, improve communications and repair relationships,� Mackie said in a statement. �This was a difficult decision, however the board is confident we can move forward in a positive and constructive manner.�
Severance pay to kick in
Kelley, a Michigan native, joined CaroMont Health on Jan. 1, 2012. Prior to that, he had been the CEO of Inova Loudoun Hospital and senior vice president of Inova Health System in Leesburg, Va., since 2006.
In the six months between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2012, Kelley made $293,651 in base pay at CaroMont, which would add up to $587,302 for a full year�s salary. State law only requires the hospital to report Kelley�s compensation as of June 30, the end of the last fiscal year.
Kelley received a six-month temporary housing allowance of $21,000 as part of his relocation package. He also received a sign-on bonus of $90,000, which was a one-time bonus authorized by the trustees to make up for part of the compensation he lost when he left his prior position.
Kelley received a deferred compensation contribution of $76,492 in the first six months of his employment. He received additional benefits with a total value of $5,255, according to the hospital.
At minimum, Kelley�s severance package stands to provide him with two full years of salary and six months of health insurance coverage, according to sources with knowledge of his firing. He is also fully vested in investments he had through his CaroMont employment.
CaroMont Health spokeswoman Dallas Paddon said Kelley was paid on a competitive basis.
�Mr. Kelley's salary (was) at the median of the market of other similarly-sized not-for-profit health care organizations, with which CaroMont competes for executive positions,� she said in an email. �Compensation decisions are made by independent members of the board, using a process that fully complies with IRS requirements ...".
Tumultuous tenure
The home stretch of Kelley�s career with CaroMont arguably began March 22, when some county leaders learned of and objected to CaroMont�s plan to change the name of Gaston Memorial Hospital to CaroMont Regional Medical Center. The new name was formally unveiled less than two weeks later, along with the now-defunct CaroMont tagline �Cheat Death� � the attention-grabbing slogan for a wellness campaign aimed at inspiring healthier lifestyles.
Public uproar over the slogan, which came from employees and critics across the country, prompted Kelley to ditch it after less than three days.
But officials said the controversial tagline was merely the icing on the cake of dissent involving Kelley.
�The outcry over the tagline revealed many serious issues we have been facing,� Williams said.
CaroMont�s trustees fired Kelley just three days after several of them met with some 60 physicians who voiced frustration with the CEO�s leadership over the past 16 months. Two longtime Gastonia physicians also submitted a formal letter to the trustees and to The Gazette, in which they laid out their grievances.
Dr. Steven Yates of Gaston Hematology and Oncology and Dr. Frederic Levy of ENT Carolina said decisions made by Kelley and other hospital executives have led to inadequate doctor staffing and are compromising patient care at CaroMont Regional Medical Center. They said they were speaking for dozens of other local physicians who felt Kelley�s administration was threatening health care in the community.
Under Kelley�s leadership, the hospital outsourced its inpatient services to a private firm in November. Twenty physicians who had worked in the hospital left, and Yates and Levy said it was partially due to Kelley�s �disconnected, adversarial and closed-minded management style.�
Hospital Chief of Staff Rodney Smith confirmed Monday that �we don�t have enough replacements to satisfy the needs of the hospital.�
Trustees cleared
David Smith, one of the trustees who voted to retain Kelley, is the father of David Smith Jr., who co-founded the Chapel Hill marketing firm Immortology. The firm was hired by hospital executives to develop CaroMont's divisive �Cheat Death� tagline.
Immortology also employs Haddon Mackie, the daughter of the board chairman. She accepted a position with the firm in March and began work there this month.
Two Gaston County commissioners, who appoint the majority of the trustees, cited conflict of interest concerns in recently calling for Smith and Mackie to resign.
But hospital spokeswoman Dallas Paddon said Monday attorneys have determined Mackie and Smith did nothing wrong.
Contacted Tuesday, Smith declined to comment about his vote Monday night or the conflict-of-interest accusation.
Moving ahead
CaroMont leaders have not said whether a firm will be hired to search for Kelley�s replacement, though that is customary in filling such CEO positions.
Yates said he, Levy and other local physicians stand ready to support the board of trustees.
�As physicians, we understand that difficult decisions and aggressive interventions are sometimes necessary in order for patients to regain health,� said Yates. �It is now time for the entire medical community to pull together for the benefit of our patients and for the health of our beloved hospital and community.�
CaroMont pays $1 per year to lease the hospital building and land from the county but as a nonprofit it pays no property or sales taxes. For more than a year, county commissioners have been at odds with hospital leaders, the county seeking a higher annual payment in lieu of taxes.
Given the recent turmoil and remaining challenges of finding a new CEO, Commissioner Tracy Philbeck said those lease negotiations have been suspended indefinitely.
�Our motive is to support a strong hospital that provides excellent care for our citizens,� he said. �We stand ready to assist and work with the CaroMont board.�
Williams said Kelley�s administration alienated hospital staff, community leaders and elected officials.
�Moving forward, we have to bring in the right person,� he said. �In addition to hospital management experience, we need to focus on bringing in someone who possesses good communication skills, practices servant leadership, and will make a connection with our community.�
You can reach Michael Barrett at 704-869-1826 or twitter.com/GazetteMike.
Here�s a partial breakdown of what Randall Kelley was paid as CaroMont Health�s CEO, and what money he is still due:
$293,651 - Base pay from January to June 2012
$90,000 - One-time bonus for signing employment contract
$21,000 - Six-month housing allowance
$76,492 - Deferred compensation for first six months of employment
$5,255 - Total value of additional benefits
$1.17 million - Estimated severance pay due to Kelley (equal to two years of salary)

Root Beer Float Cupcakes
EDIT: It would appear that my little cupcake madness has been popping up all over the net! That being said, there are comments and emails GALORE about them, 99% positive and the rest questions and critiques.
So here is my Edit. PLEASE READ BEFORE BAKING:
1. USE LINERS! Yes I know that I don't have them in the photo... but I haven't had a chance to take a new photo. Use foil liners. And no, do not take the liners off.
2. If you can find root beer extract, more power to you, you can replace the vanilla extract with it. I prefer not to include things in recipes that you can't buy at a regular grocery store, as it bugs the heck out of me when I want to try a recipe, but have to order half the ingredients. I bought all the ingredients for these at one store, in one trip.
3. The glaze. Many critics say that its sticky. One person called it tasteless. A) Pour on the glaze while the cupcakes are still slightly warm like I say, it will soak in a bit, and some of the moisture will be taken out of the glaze and into the cupcake... once you let it set up a bit it shouldn't be sticky. B) I still don't know how it could be tasteless with both shnapps and root beer in it... I wanted to eat the stuff with a spoon... I did not add shnapps to the buttercream as thats the "vanilla float" part. If you think it has to do with proportions of wet to sugar... take it up with Paula Dean, as its an adaptation of a glaze she made for Lemon Blossoms.
4. Someone brought up a very good point. I say to fill the liners to the top with the batter, that works for my oven, they puff perfectly. But, I forgot my Alton Brown, and every oven is different... so filling to the top may not work for you... so if you are worried... don't do it, but you will end up with a few more cupcakes.
Root beer floats are one of those things that my brothers and I loved as kids. I don't know about them, but for me, its still something that I love to have on occasion. That's why I wanted to make a cupcake that tasted like a root beer float. I mean come on, nothing is more fun than a cupcake, or root beer floats… why not combine the two. Now, I did find a couple recipes online, that just added a can or two of root beer to the batter. Not good enough for me… the flavor of the root beer kind of faded away. And I was super picky about the flavor on this one. It's taken several tries at this recipe to get it right…
First round: I tried using spices and ingredients that are used in root beer as well as a can of root beer… but it ended up tasting more like a spice cake… not bad, but not what I wanted.
Second round: I tried reducing a lot of root beer in a sauce pan to make a syrup, and adding a can of root beer… but the flavor wasn't to strong (I think that boiling the root beer made the flavor evaporate), and I didn't use an "old fashioned" root beer, and the flavor didn't bake well.
Third round: Eureka! The only change that I would make is to use cupcake liners, as the cake can easily fall apart during the "tipsy" phase. And here's the recipe!
Root Beer Float Cakes
Cake Ingredients
1 cup root beer schnapps
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned style root beer (like A&W or Dads)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Root Beer Glaze
4 cups confectioners sugar
1/3 cup root beer
3 Tbs. root beer schnapps*
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
*for a more kid friendly version, replace schnapps with more root beer
You will also need some extra root beer schnapps (1 Tbs. per cupcake)
Or for the kiddies use root beer (again 1 Tbs. per cupcake)
You will also need some basic Vanilla buttercream ( there are many recipes online to try J)
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. In a bowl, mix together root beer schnapps, root beer, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, mix until smooth
5. Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
6. Mix with hand mixer on low, while slowly pouring in root beer mixture.
7. Mix until smooth and lump free.
8. Pour into lined cupcake pan. (Use foil cupcake liners to avoid "leakage" later.) Fill nearly to the top, you may think its over-filled, but it puffs up perfectly this way. Don't be tempted to use more than 24 cupcake cups... trust me. :-)
9. Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until golden brown and cake springs back when touched.
10. While cupcakes are baking, prepare your butter cream and root beer glaze. For glaze, put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a wisk until smooth and lump free.
11. To assemble, start by letting cupcakes cool, still in the pan.
12. While still slightly warm, pour 1 Tbs. of root beer schnapps over each cupcake. Pour on slowly to allow schnapps ( or regular root beer for the kiddies) to soak in.
13. Once the schnapps has soaked in and let sit for a few minutes, pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake.
14. When the glaze sets up a bit and isn't too runny, put a "scoop" of buttercream atop each. For an added touch, you can even place a root beer barrel candy on each one.

The second period was the ultimate test for Hall-Southington defenders because East Catholic skaters seemed angry at the ice. On Wednesday, Jan. 23, the Warrior-Knights had surprised the undefeated Eagles with two goals in the first period, and the undefeated division two team threw everything they could at the DIII co-op.
The Eagles formed a stranglehold at center ice and sent a swarm of players at the Hall-Southington net. East Catholic took 28 shots in the period as the Warrior-Knights scrambled to survive four short-handed possessions.
Jeff Moore brushed aside every attempt. Defenders blanketed Eagle shooters, and nothing got through. As the horn signaled the end of the second period, Hall-Southington opened up a 3-0 advantage. Chalk that up to the defense.
"This is what we were expecting in the last two seasons. We just weren't able to find it," said H-SHS hockey coach Brian Cannon. "This year they've been buying what we're selling. They're putting in the work, and they're getting the results."
The offense did their job. Jarod Florian scored twice in the opening period, and assisted Kevin Cop' score in the second. Dylan Roach and Dave Valentukonis put the game out of reach with scores in the third period. Justin Rose finished with two assists. Valentukonis, Florian, Will Thompson, and Owen Kantor each scored one assist.
East Catholic out-shot the Warrior-Knights, 47-21. The Eagles ruined the shutout bid with almost 11 minutes remaining, but the locals held on for a 5-1 upset to get their ninth win of the year.
"It's huge for us. I think we caught them a little off tonight, and we played really well in the beginning part of the game," said Cannon. "This was the No. 1 team in the division above us. They were undefeated, and we managed to come out and find a way to win. I got a number of texts the other day after the Newington game, and I won't be surprised if I get a bunch more tomorrow. I think that people are happy for us—even people from rival teams."
With the victory, the Warrior-Knights continued to dig in as the team to beat in their division. Even with a 6-3 loss on Friday against North Branford—another top DII team at 10-2—the locals held on to sole possession of first place in division three.
With eight games remaining, Hall-Southington is 9-2. They're undefeated against teams from the top division (1-0). They're undefeated against teams at their own level (5-0). Both losses came against teams in the middle division that are in the conversation for a tournament title.
Cannon came into the season with high expectations for his offense. He had confidence in his team's goaltending abilities. It was the defense that he still questioned. For now, those questions have been answered, but Cannon said that there's still work to be done.
"They still elevate my blood pressure frequently over the course of the game, but they are recovering better. They're catching their own mistakes at times," said the coach. "They've been doing pretty well in front of our net lately, but we've still got to do better in transition ice. We're still letting the other team get through the neutral zone before our defensemen try to deal with them. What we need to do now is to start taking away that next step. We have to step in and not let their high guy get the puck. It's a process, and it takes a long time to work through it."
It doesn't get any easier. This week the team will face cross-town DII rival NW Catholic for a chance to avenge their only lopsided loss (a 10-3 rout in late December). The rest of the season is scheduled against teams in the top six of the DIII standings with a pair of contests against DII rival Conard.
By the time the postseason arrives, all of Cannon's questions should be answered.

(HONG KONG) Dragonair has welcomed the Government's commitment to maintain Hong Kong's position as an aviation hub and boost its competitiveness, as outlined in the Policy Address given today by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, Mr C Y Leung.
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said: "We are encouraged by the government's reiteration that there is an urgent need to construct a third runway, and we look forward to the speedy development of this project to ensure that Hong Kong International Airport can continue to thrive."
Dragonair operates passenger and cargo services to 46 regional destinations, including 22 Mainland Chinese cities, from Hong Kong. As such, the airline welcomes the Government's consideration to increase the number of Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (ETOs) in Asia and expand its network of liaison units in Mainland China.
"Hong Kong is the premier gateway to Mainland China, which itself is one of the fastest growing travel markets in the world. A stronger ETO presence will help strengthen economic and trade ties, and better facilitate the flow of people and cargo to and from Hong Kong," said Mr Yeung.
As a longstanding member of the airport community, Dragonair supports the further development of Tung Chung and Lantau Island which will help to increase the size of the working population living close to the airport. This in turn will support the growth of the aviation sector.
"We are also very encouraged by the Government's initiative to establish a civil aviation training institute. Since our establishment as a home carrier of Hong Kong in 1985, Dragonair has shown strong commitment to the training and development of home-grown talents, including our highly successful cadet pilot training programmes. We look forward to being able to share our expertise and experience," said Mr Yeung.

The ECU Pirates� 2013 season was rolled out pretty clear for them. It will be a season of streaks and stretches.
Game: East Carolina Pirates at Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Where: Johnny �Red� Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Coaches: East Carolina � Ruffin McNeill, Middle Tennessee State � Rick Stockstill
Key Players: East Carolina � QB Shane Carden, RB Vintavious Cooper, WR Justin Hardy, LB Derrell Johnson, DB Chip Thompson. Middle Tennessee State � QB Logan Kilgore, RB Jordan Parker, WR Tavarres Jefferson.
GREENVILLE � The ECU Pirates� 2013 season was rolled out pretty clear for them. It will be a season of streaks and stretches.
After hosting the first three games at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, the Pirates will hit the road for the next three.
Perhaps the toughest road test has already been passed � a 55-31 win over in-state foe North Carolina last week.
On Saturday, the Pirates leave the state of North Carolina for the first time, as they travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn., to take on the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders.
ECU (3-1, 1-0) has a conference win over Florida Atlantic and non-conference wins over Old Dominion and the aforementioned Tar Heels.
MTSU (3-2, 1-0) beat Florida Atlantic in overtime and fell 40-20 to North Carolina earlier this season.
Quarterback Logan Kilgore has thrown for 811 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions, while Jordan Parker is the Blue Raiders� main threat carrying the ball.
The Blue Raiders are coached by Rick Stockstill and their losses this season are to the Tar Heels and BYU.
�It was a good day today, our guys did a good job of what we call �attacking the day,�� ECU coach Ruffin McNeill said after Wednesday�s practice. �They�re (MTSU) very good. Rick�s done a good job recruiting and they�re a tough bunch.�
The Pirate offense exploded in the victory over UNC and the defense looked very sharp in spurts.
Defensive back Chip Thompson led the team with nine tackles and an interception against North Carolina and linebacker Brandon Williams registered seven and one for loss.
�Middle Tennessee is a physical team. They are good up front and we have a physical team also. I feel like we have the advantage,� Thompson said.
Williams has been filling in since injuries occurred to Pirates� starters Kyle Tudor and Jeremy Grove.
Williams has displayed solid play in two games versus Virginia Tech and North Carolina.
�(MTSU are a run downhill football team that we have to stop the run game to shut down,� Williams said. �Our goal is to win the conference championship and we are just approaching it like we did last week versus Carolina.�
On offense, the Pirates feel they have very few troubles, as Carden is as hot as anyone, starting the season throwing for 1,172 yards and 11 touchdowns to just four picks.
Throw in the stellar running of Vintavious Cooper, who ran for a career-high 186 yards against the Tar Heels and All-Conference receiver Justin Hardy, and the Pirates offense is loaded for bear.
ECU and MTSU will kick off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. from Murfreesboro, Tenn.

I have fairly similar little rashes in a few different areas. The biggest one is on my lower leg, a few inches above my ankle. It's not big, width of a quarter or so. The second would be what I consider to be a similar rash but doesn't seem to be near as severe (probably because I'm a little more self conscious and careful with it as it's on my penis.) Both seem to respond to hydro-cortisone cream but it doesn't seem to fully get rid of it. Neither of them hurt, they're both just red, dry skin that is often flaky (and the one on my leg gets itchy if I give it attention ;p )
First off, I've had this one on my leg for quite a while now, probably a bit over a year. I can't remember how it started or if it grew over time but I don't ever remember it being much smaller than this. The rash on my penis seems to just go around the "corona" I believe it's called. it's slightly red all the way around (which is probably normal actually) with a couple red flaky spots.
Above my ankle - not as big as it looks, very closeup and I have skinny legs;p
I should note that the rash wasn't a red ring originally, it was a red circle before and it just seems like the inner part of it is improving with the cream faster than the rest.
The last little rash I'm concerned about has just recently shown up on both of my legs in similar places (very close the underside of my knee - I can't remember the name for this.) It's just a little red bump with some flaky skin (this one is slightly painful, maybe just because of the area it's in.) I'm not going to upload a picture of my penis as the rash is hardly noticeable and I'm not the most comfortable with those pictures;p but I'd relate it most to these little bumps although it's never been painful.
Under my leg
For my job, I have to sit for long periods of time. I often sit with my legs crossed. Could this rash have anything to do with that?
When I was at the doctor, I showed the nurse the rash on my leg and said I had been putting hydro-cortisone cream on it and it seems to help, she just said that I'm doing the right thing but I don't remember her saying what it could be.
I apologize for the random wall of texts. I'm just not 100% sure what info I should be providing. If anyone has any input as to what could be the cause & cure for these, I'd appreciate it.

The Butler's Tale
by Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
July 20, 2005
In most aspects of life, there are two sides to every story. In this article, I'll try to give glimpses into a butler's life, from the point of view of the customer and the butler himself. Both are based on my recent experience aboard Celebrity's Millennium.
As the Guest
On only one previous cruise had the services of a butler been available to me. Like most people with no experience in these matters, I had no idea what a butler would do to make my cruise more enjoyable. That particular cabin, though a bit larger than a standard cabin, did not lend itself to dining en suite. So, other than having coffee delivered in the morning, we made little use of the butler's services.
For our sailing on the Celebrity Millennium, as a surprise birthday/anniversary gift for Mrs. Kuki, I booked passage in a Royal Suite. I of course got to share in this gift of luxury -- though she may have preferred that I booked myself an inside cabin across the hall.
This was the man who would end up training us how to enjoy all the luxury and decadence of being a suite passenger. Kenneth explained that each day he would serve "afternoon tea" in the suite, and deliver appetizers each evening prior to dinner. He also instructed us that he would be available -- "on call" -- between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Returning to the suite late that evening, we found the dining table preset, complete with tablecloth and a full table setting. On the table was a full breakfast menu, as an invitation to us to enjoy breakfast in the suite.
We might normally order in coffee and a croissant to enjoy on our balcony, and then head to the buffet if we wanted a more robust breakfast. But this "invitation" to enjoy a full breakfast in the suite seemed too pleasant to pass up. This was the beginning of our "training" to enjoy the suite and the services of our butler.
Within minutes after we finished eating, Kenneth returned to clear the table and tidy up the dining room. His impeccable timing must have come from years of experience, training, and a keen instinct.
I discussed with Kenneth the possibility of having friends in for cocktails that evening. He gave me the name and number of the ship's event planner, where I could order any food we'd like to serve, and asked us to let him know what type of liquid refreshments we'd like available. Kenneth also suggested which appetizers we might like to order, based on his experience of items previous guests had enjoyed.
In short order we had planned a cocktail party for 30 in our suite for 4 p.m. that afternoon. At 3 p.m., Kenneth came in to prepare the suite, bringing tablecloths, wine to cool, glasses, corkscrews, and a few dried snack foods.
When our guests began to arrive, bartenders brought in a service cart with other drinks we'd requested, and Kenneth began serving the appetizers we had ordered. After all the guests had left, Kenneth returned to clear the empty trays and glasses, and put the suite back in order.
Though we have hosted similar cocktail parties in our home, none had ever been as easily organized, nor had any gone so seamlessly.
After Kenneth's work for us that day, I felt I had already received my full benefit from having a butler, and jokingly told him we'd likely give him the rest of the week off. He assured us the service was his pleasure, and made us feel as though there had been no imposition.
In discussing our plans for the next day, a port call at Casa de Campo, we discovered that my golf excursion would get me back to the ship too late for our scheduled dining time in the dining room. Kenneth quickly volunteered to serve dinner in the suite, from the dining room menu, to us and the couple we were traveling with.
Almost halfway through our cruise, we had gone from not knowing what to do with a butler, to finding him indispensable and not knowing what we'd do without him.
As the Butler
The first order of business was to make me a full butler's uniform in a size "bigger than a ballast tank." I had two fittings, until they scrounged enough material to make me presentable. I was good to go! Theo, my boss, told me I should be ready to start work at 6 a.m. the next morning.
Feeling sorry for the new guy, Kenneth woke me instead at 6:45, brought me a cup of coffee, and helped me dress. Somehow, I understood he wasn't likely to be nudged this gently to start his own day.
Simple requests from the suite passengers like toast, juice and coffee are prepared on trays here for ease and speed of delivery. For full meals, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, orders have to be taken down to the galley on Deck 3, and the butler waits until it's prepared. He then delivers it hot and fresh to the suite.
Our next breakfast delivery was to some guests in another Royal Suite, and I was already feeling more comfortable. Kenneth had instructed me thoroughly: serve from the left, remove from the right, and quit tasting the guests' food.
On the return trip upstairs, we swung by the message center, a small office behind the Guest Relations desk. Here the butlers pick up invitations, faxes, etc., for the guests in the suites and deliver them.
We returned to the butler's pantry and delivered a late breakfast request, then found a few minutes to visit with the entire butler team of the Millennium.
Each butler carries a telephone, and their guests have their direct numbers for ease in making requests. In the time I spent with these men, I was amazed at just how often those telephones rang, and how quickly they responded.
Early afternoon came, and there was a slight lull in demand for butler services, but as 4 p.m. drew near it was time to prepare for tea service, where party-sized sandwiches and mouth-watering dessert treats are laid out on rolling carts and delivered door to door, stopping at each suite.
As we rang the bell at each suite, each door was opened by a guest wearing a broad welcoming smile. Like Pavlov's dog, they obviously had been trained to know that treats awaited them when their doorbell rang at 4 p.m. Most avoided choosing the few items I had already taken bites out of as we made our way down the hall, but there was still enough left for everyone.
This was the end of my first training session, since -- unlike the real butlers -- I had to prepare for formal night dinner in the dining room. I almost felt bad leaving "the team" to work for another few hours.
But as you might expect, I didn't feel bad enough to stay instead of going to dinner, and back to being a guest.
It was an eye-opening experience to live, if ever so briefly, both sides of the butler's story. I learned that the butlers I worked with are hard-working, interesting, devoted, and good-humored people. And that they have to be to serve guests like me!
While I enjoyed experiencing both sides of this life, there's no question I'd prefer more "training" in the role of being the guest of a butler!
If you're ever fortunate enough to be able to take this training in the future, here's a brief recap of things you can look forward to.
The next time you hear the phrase "The Butler Did It," don't be surprised. The butler really does do everything!
