text: Previous Post Next Post GMH psych ward bears heavy burden of treating area's mentally ill 01-05-2013 Mental illness makes headlines when tragedies strike. After shots are fired and people die, tears trail down faces and questions form on the lips of those across the nation. How could someone like Adam Lanza fall through the cracks of the system, and die as a 20-year-old mass murderer who calmly shot down 26 women and children at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? But for all of the questions, such tragedies do shed light on a topic most people rarely talk about, let alone experience – mental illness. Yet, for thousands of Gaston County residents, mental illness is a part of daily life. The psych ward at CaroMont Regional Medical Center treated more than 3,000 patients in 2012, although some of that number may have been a repeat visit. That number only represents the mentally ill who needed emergency care — some brought in by loved ones, others admitted against their will. A danger to themselves To admit someone to the seventh floor of the hospital against their will is to take away their freedom. Taking such a step isn't taken lightly, according to Dr. Donald Klasing, psychiatrist with CaroMont Health. People often end up in the psych ward voluntarily, knowing something's wrong and looking for help. But if someone poses a danger to themselves or others, action can be taken. Police and emergency workers can take a suspected mentally ill person directly to the hospital. But if your family member, friend or even neighbor is in danger, you can start the process at the magistrate's office. About two to three people visit the Gaston County Magistrate's Office daily with such concerns. If that person can prove the individual is in danger, a magistrate will issue an order. The appropriate law enforcement agency will send an officer to pick the person up and take them to CaroMont Regional Medical Center where a doctor will conduct an evaluation. Treatment starts almost immediately, according to Klasing. A second doctor evaluates the patient, and in most cases the person is treated and sent home within five days. Involuntary commitments only happen about two or three times a year at the local hospital, said Klasing. Involuntary commitment If two doctors agree that a patient's mental illness is so severe that they require commitment, an order is sent to the magistrate judge and a hearing is scheduled. The procedure is unique. "You're treated against your will. It's different than every other aspect of medicine," said Klasing. Doctors look at past run-ins with police, prescription history and statements from relatives and friends. In most cases the patient responds to treatment and is released. But if the process goes through to completion, a hearing is held, often at the hospital, with the patient, doctor, guardian and the magistrate judge. The decline of the 'asylum' In the past, such commitment would land a patient in Broughton Hospital in Morganton. But asylum type treatment is mostly an antiquated practice, according to Klasing. Most mentally ill patients at CaroMont Regional Medical Center are treated at the facility, whether they stay for days, weeks or months. The goal is the same no matter what the affliction – to get the patient stable and adhering to prescribed treatment and medications. "When they're well enough they're released, and the commitment is no longer in effect," Klasing said, "and they begin out-patient treatment." Off their meds It's become common place for people to joke that someone's off their meds when they act irrationally. But the saying is rooted in truth, said Klasing. Medications have come a long way in treating serious mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and severe depression. Finding the right medication and taking it regularly is critical. "There's essentially no medication that cures mental illness. They all treat the symptoms that can lead someone to a happy and productive life," said Klasing. But that simple daily ritual becomes complex for someone with mental illness. "It's very difficult for people to gain insight that they have the illness and that they need the medication to be well," said Klasing. "The illness itself affects the organ that allows insight. When it's the brain itself that's broken, you do not see that anything is wrong." Getting help The hospital psychiatric ward helps people get back on track. But often continued long-term care is needed for mental stability, according to Klasing. Patients can find such help through counselors and doctors. Partners Behavioral Health Management in Gastonia serves eight counties – connecting people to a variety of services. Once a diagnosis is made, care coordinators can help people stick to their prescribed regimen, according to Tom Gray with the organization. People with mental illness need as many support systems in place as possible, said Klasing. Anyone can have dark thoughts. A mentally ill person stewing in that distress could break. But if that person has a trusting relationship – with a counselor or family member – they may confess their disturbing fantasies. And that entrusted person should act immediately. "After the fact it's too late," said Klasing. Parents especially have an obligation to communicate with their children, he said. Think of the tragedies that could've been avoided. "I'm sure the parents of the Columbine killers didn't have a clue. Don't think, 'Oh Johnny's up in his room he must be fine. You've got to go up there and talk,'" said Klasing. Finding stability Some patients may need a group home setting, and that could be hard to come by with the depletion of state funding, said Klasing. Parents, brothers, sisters and children could become full-time caregivers out of necessity. That job can be overwhelming. Just as mentally ill people need support, so do their caregivers, said Gray. Forming peer support groups is important. Such support can come from friends, church members, family or formal groups. Asking for help can be tough whether you're sick or the family of someone who's mentally ill, said Klasing. "There's a lot prejudice out there against the mentally ill," he said. The majority of mentally ill people are treated in doctors' offices and prisons, Klasing said. Prison may seem an unlikely support system, but the environment provides that "mom" element – putting a person on a strict schedule that could include therapy and medication. For some the emergency department of CaroMont Regional Medical Center remains a revolving door for crisis treatment. Patients are admitted to the psychiatric ward and spend a week getting back on track before returning to life. "We're not sending them home 100 percent. We're sending them home in a stable state," said Klasing who noted it can take weeks for a patient to completely stabilize. "The goal is to get them where they can be treated on an outpatient basis."

Some hematologic (blood-based) cancers and specific types of solid tumors are best treated with very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation. But the doses necessary for killing the tumor may also destroy healthy bone marrow. This would be life-threatening, because without healthy bone marrow, your body could not produce the red cells, white cells, and platelets that carry oxygen throughout your body, fight infection, and cause your blood to clot after an injury.
So, before you begin treatment, your own healthy blood stem cells, also called hematopoietic cells, are collected at a time when there is little disease in the bone marrow, and then frozen for future use. The process is similar to a blood donation. (Think of blood stem cells as seeds that can both divide to produce more healthy blood cells, and transform themselves into the three types of blood cells—red cells, white cells, and platelets.)
Your bone marrow and the abnormal (cancer) cells inside you are then destroyed with chemotherapy and/or radiation in a process called dose-intensive therapy. In the next step, called the rescue, your marrow or blood stem cells that were collected previously will be thawed and given back to you intravenously. They travel through your bloodstream and back into your bone marrow, where they can start producing healthy blood cells again.

Start Your Paternity Action
These instructions will help you open your paternity case.
Step 1: Filling out the paperwork
Petition to Establish Parental Relationship (FL-200): Fill this out completely.
Summons (FL-110): Fill out the first page. This lets the other party know that they are being sued and that they have 30 days to respond. The second page has automatic restraining orders that apply to both parties during they case (that means that you should read and follow them, too!)
UCCJEA (FL-105): The court wants to know where the child(ren) have been living for the past five years and if anyone else has a custody claim on them.
Step 2: Making Copies and Filing the paperwork
Sign and date the paperwork that you filled out in Step 1. Make two copies. Bring the originals and two copies to the court for filing.
The court takes cash or check only. Checks should be made out to Placer County Superior Court. If you cannot to pay the filing fees, request fee waiver forms from the filing clerk.
The filing window is in the Family Court, at 10820 Justice Center Drive, Roseville, CA 95678 (You can also mail your documents for filing at this address. If you do, be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope to get your two copies back.). The court clerk will give you back the two copies. They will have a court stamp on them. One copy is for your records; one copy is for serving on the other party.
Step 3: Serving the papers
You must serve a copy of all the papers on the other party, along with a blank Response (FL-220) and a blank UCCJEA (FL-110) must have the other party personally served. Have a friend or relative over the age of eighteen give the papers to the other party.
Step 4: Filling out the proof of service
The person who serves the papers on the other party needs to fill out the attached Proof of Service of Summons (FL-115). Be sure to fill in the date and time that the Respondent was served.. The Proof of Service needs to be filed with the court (see Step 2). There is no fee for this. You do not need to make any copies unless you want one for your records (a good idea!).

The Times Mirror Company
List of Deals
- 1965 secondary offering of 346,536 shares common stock (without par value)
- 1965 4 1/2% sinking fund debentures due 1990
The Times Mirror Company originated as a small four-page daily newspaper. The Mirror Printing and Binding House, established in 1873 primarily for commercial printing, agreed in 1881 to print a new newspaper called the Los Angeles Daily Times, soon renamed the Los Angeles Times. General Harrison Gray Otis was named editor. In 1884 Otis and Colonel H.H. Boyce purchased both the newspaper and the printing company, incorporating them into the Times-Mirror Company. The hyphen was soon dropped. The newspaper set out to attract new residents and businesses to the then-quiet town of Los Angeles. Over time, the newspaper was promoting a free harbor at San Pedro, in 1891, and construction of the city's first freeway, in 1930. Otis and his son-in-law, Harry Chandler, destroyed competitors by controlling circulation routes. The newspaper was known to serve Otis and Chandler's political interests, and it prevented unionization long after unions had become strong in the East. The paper was long known for its right-wing slant and even used bogus photos in its campaign against socialist author Upton Sinclair in his 1935 gubernatorial race.
By 1948 the company had begun an acquisitions program, purchasing Publishers Paper Company of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Another major acquisition was made in 1961 when Times Mirror bought Jeppesen Sanderson, the world's leading publisher of air navigation information and flight-training systems. That same year, Times Mirror acquired the H.M. Gousha Company, a producer of modern travel maps and pioneer of the accordion-fold map. By 1963 Times Mirror was expanding into other specialized publishing, acquiring Matthew Bender & Company, the largest publisher of legal forms and legal treatises in the United States. Two years later Times Mirror acquired Year Book Medical Publishers, publishers of medical reference books.

It takes a village
To the Editor:
The horrific events of the past two weeks, and the effect they've had on the communities of Lynbrook, East Rockaway and surrounding villages, have prompted me to thank the entire school community for its patience and understanding.
The Lynbrook Board of Education and administration did everything we could to bring our schools back, but were at the mercy of LIPA to repair our power lines. The parents and schoolchildren were very patient, and waited two weeks before school opened again. Just when we thought it was all right to open, another problem arose and we had to call it off again.
The devastation that happened to so many on the South Shore also affected many of our staff. In some cases, their homes have been destroyed and were uninhabitable — yet when we asked them, they came to work to fulfill their duties.
I would like to acknowledge so many individuals and government agencies that were instrumental in providing the much-needed necessities of everyday living. Mayor Bill Hendrick and the Village of Lynbrook staff, as well as the Lynbrook Police Department, displayed a constant concern and used a proactive approach in helping to remove downed trees. They alerted the proper agencies to address the dangerous live wires that were hindering our children from getting to school safely. State Sen. Dean Skelos and Assemblyman Brian Curran made a continuous effort to help our district get its power back.
I must also thank Chris Clark, a parent in our community, and his company, GDF Suez Energy, for donating a generator to Waverly Park School so we could bring all the children back before LIPA completes its work.
Lastly, and most importantly, thank you to all the residents of our village for their understanding and commitment to the district's educational system. It truly does take a village to raise a child — and Lynbrook ranks number one in this effort.
Dr. Melissa Burak
Interim superintendent
Lynbrook Public Schools

HONOLULU (AP) — Residents and tourists in Hawaii are bracing for two major storms swirling toward the island chain. Hurricane Iselle is expected to hit the Big Island late Thursday evening or early Friday morning, canceling flights and shaking up the final days of campaigns before the state's primary election. Hurricane Julio is following in the Pacific, having strengthened into a Category 3 storm but forecast to pass just north of the islands sometime Sunday morning.
Officials say Hawaii's primary election will be held Saturday as planned. But candidates in heated races are suspending campaign activities, including a Democratic rally.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie and U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, both in the final days of tight races, asked supporters to take down campaign signs so they don't become dangerous projectiles. Kathryn Xian, who's running for Congress, suspended campaign activities and her volunteers focused on driving homeless people to shelters.
"My campaign hat is off," Abercrombie said in a news conference Thursday. "I'm engaged in the job I got hired to do, and I feel very confident not only that we're ready, but that we can carry through."
Airports remained open Thursday, but the Department of Transportation encouraged travelers to check with airlines. Nearly 30 flights from several airlines, including Delta, United, Air China and WestJet, were canceled Thursday, the Hawaii Tourism Authority said.
American Airlines and US Airways announced they canceled flights in and out of the Big Island and Maui Thursday evening through noon Friday. Hawaiian Airlines canceled some interisland flights for Thursday evening and moved its Maui-Los Angeles flight up by nearly five hours.
Travelers were urged to stay in hotels instead of heading to the airport, unless their flight was imminent.
"It's very, very important that people understand that our airport is not set up to handle large crowds," Ford Fuchigami, interim director of the Hawaii's Department of Transportation, said in a news conference.
Most public bus services on Oahu and Maui would be shut down Friday, but some express buses would run in the morning, officials said. On Oahu, evacuation buses would start running late Thursday.
The U.S. Coast Guard shut down ports on the Big Island, Maui and Oahu, arranging for barges and ships to leave the ports and seek sheltered waters.
"I am committed to reopening each port as soon as it is safe to do so," Capt. Shannon Gilreath said in a statement.
An estimated 204,000 visitors are scattered across the Hawaiian islands on any given day, and hotel and tourism officials are delivering emergency information in multiple languages, said Mike McCartney, president and CEO of the tourism authority.
Tourists in popular Waikiki Beach on Oahu lounged on beach chairs Thursday morning and surfed on the azure waves while the tropical sun shone.
"We did decide to come out here and make the most of it before we had to be back inside because of the storm," said Helen Povazan, retired IT manager visiting from Melbourne, Australia.
On Hawaii's Big Island, residents in the quaint town of Pahoa were glad they stocked up on bottled water earlier in the week because most stores had run out.
"Lucky thing I bought four cases Monday," said Tarty Taurus at the Kaleo's Bar and Grill, as restaurant staff served customers and tied down everything they could.
Residents of rural Hana on Maui are hoping Hana Highway isn't washed out and have been buying up plywood, said Wiloris Perry-Estocado of Hasagawa General Store.
"There's a lot of old homes in Hana — we're all as prepared as can be," Perry-Estocado said. "If the wind comes, a lot of our roofs are going to go."
Associated Press Writer Audrey McAvoy contributed to this report. Rob Collias contributed to this report from Maui.

Notre Dame blarney: Charlie Weis on the offensive line, Jonas Gray, Manti Te'o and more
Don't forget to follow our Twitter feed for Notre Dame news and practice updates at twitter.com/ChiTribHamilton.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- So the great, paradigm-shifting depth chart shuffles for Notre Dame on the offensive line and at tailback were not exactly that great after all.
Paul Duncan and Chris Stewart are not in imminent danger of losing their starting left tackle and left guard jobs, respectively, to Matt Romine and Dan Wenger. Everyone is signed up for a timeshare, though, which explains the "or"s separating the names on the two-deep.
"Duncan will start at left tackle, Romine will play in the game," Irish coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday as he previewed Saturday's season opener against Nevada. "Chris Stewart will start at left guard but Wenger will definitely play in the game.
"Usually when you put offensive linemen in they're going to stay in for the whole time but (Romine and Wenger) are two guys that we want to make sure we get involved in the game in the first half. We're not going to wait to the second half to get Romine and Wenger in the game."
One spot that didn't require an "or" was indeed a bit more decisive: Sophomore Jonas Gray is the No. 2 tailback behind Armando Allen, usurping the spot from junior Robert Hughes. Weis reminded everyone that Hughes has to sit out the first half of the Nevada game after fighting during the USC game in 2008, but that isn't the sole reason for Gray's leap.
"Jonas has earned being there," Weis said. "He had a heck of a camp. It makes it a little easier to make that decision when you know you don't have the other guy available for play until the second half comes around."
More Weis words on various topics from Tuesday's press conference:
On plans for freshman Manti Te'o:"Manti will definitely be on the field. We won't start him. But you'll see him rotating in there at Will linebacker with Brian (Smith) or Toryan (Smith). I wouldn't feel real confident with Manti being in there with an inexperienced player. I think at this point right now he won't rotate what he plays. If he's in there with Brian, Brian will pop over to Mike (linebacker); and if he's in there with Toryan, Toryan will just stay where he is."

As a self-defined "Body Musician," Keith uses the oldest musical instrument in the world — the human body (his own) — as the basis for exploring, blending and bending traditional and contemporary rhythmic, percussive and movement possibilities.
Keith is also recognized for his collaborations with other artists, including the Pickle Family Circus, Robin Williams, Tex Williams, Bobby McFerrin, Charles "Honi" Coles,Tandy Beal, Blondell Cummings, Gamelan Sekar Jaya, Geoff Hoyle, the Bobs, Skip Blumberg, Turtle Island String Quartet, Alex De Grassi, Linda Tillery, Kenny Endo, the original Jazz Tap Ensemble,San Jose Taiko and Oakland Youth Chorus.
About Evie Ladin
The polyrhythmic funk of Evie Ladin's clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories and rhythmic dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Known as a driving force behind San Francisco's Stairwell Sisters, Evie's solo debut Float Downstream (2010) was produced by Mike Marshall and Keith Terry. Sing Out! magazine reports "Solid song craft performed wonderfully end to end...Very strongly recommended."
Evie started playing banjo at the age of 8, and has been clogging since age 5. She has a fluid expressiveness in these traditional Appalachian arts, even as she brings an urban edge and contemporary vision to her ripe stories, and deep interpretations of old songs. Based in Oakland, Calif., Evie tours solo, duo with Keith Terry, or with her expansive stringband quartet, the Evie Ladin Band. In any combination, Evie's live performance is a demonstrative, delightfully gorgeous storm.
Tickets for this performance cost $20 at the door.
Email email@example.com to reserve your tickets in advance.
Join Keith Terry for a Body Music Workshop on Tuesday, April 16, in Library Hall.
Presented by Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp.

Weatherization tips for the coming winter
November 4, 2012 by Jeff
Filed under Wind Energy Tips
Click photo to enlarge
If you haven't already prepared your home for the colder winter months, this is a good time to figure out what you need to do to winterize your house in order to keep snug and warm for the upcoming seasonal changes, and Jim Apperson, owner of Apperson Energy and Management, has some straightforward commonsense recommendations.
Apperson started in construction in the late '60s in Southern California working for his brother, who owned a remodeling company where he soon became a job supervisor. He came up to Ukiah in the mid-'70s as a general contractor to find the field flooded with capable peers and so became involved in the ZIP program that involved PGE giving no interest loans to people to help them insulate their homes; no one else was doing it so it gave him a niche that has become very meaningful for him.
He says, "Saving energy is a big deal. Somehow we have to figure out how to use less energy, not only in this community but in the entire country, as well. Most of the energy we use is produced by fossil fuels, natural gas or coal (which is also highly polluting), and there is only a finite supply. Somehow we have to develop a plan to use less, and energy conservation is the best way to go."
At the top of the list he suggests to use this time as a semi-annual reason to change your furnace filter and to pull off the floor registers and vacuum the area around the ducts. If you see dirt or insects not from the house, there is probably a leak in the
It is also important to see if you have any exposed water pipes that need to be insulated so they don't freeze during those exceptionally cold nights. Foam pipe-wrap products are available or you can use a specially made electrical wire that can be stretched along the pipes and then plugged in.
Make sure leaves and debris are out of your gutters and down spouts. If water is allowed to run over the edges of the house and get under the house it will create problems. Water under the house can cause structural damage to the sub floor and as it evaporates up into your house it raises the humidity and makes you feel colder.
If you have recently installed floor insulation, the water pipes are under the insulation and no longer able to pick the heat up from the house to keep them from freezing. So it is important to make sure they are insulated.
Apperson says, "Since houses are getting tighter, more airtight since people are doing a lot more weather stripping, it is essential to install a carbon monoxide detector. You can get them at any building supply store and they are easy to install. Since houses are closed up more in the winter, back drafts are more likely to incur from appliances such as stoves, gas water heaters or gas furnaces, which brings more carbon monoxide into the house instead of outside."
If you have a swamp cooler, you need to drain the pan and drain lines or they could freeze. Put a cover on the cooler or otherwise the wind can blow through the pads on the side and into your house. The rain will come through as well and fill the pan, potentially creating mold problems.
It is important to adjust your weather stripping around your doors as they change shape in the winter. If you buy the good kind of weather stripping that mounts with screws and has an adjustment slot, you can adjust for winter and summer placements
People are burning their lights more in wintertime, and incandescents will soon be obsolete, he says. "We are slowly going from incandescents to CFLs. A mandate that passed in January of last year insured that 75-watt incandescents will no longer be manufactured and as of January, 2013, there will no longer be 40-60 incandescents manufactured; this effectively bans all of them. Australia, Ireland and Cuba have banned them completely. The CFLs are improving. Originally not everyone liked them; when they were first imported 25 years ago the wattage equivalency was off; it was lower than they claimed. The color of light was at a low Kelvin temperature, giving off a brownish light so with these two factors, basically people weren't able to see. Now, however, if you buy a 23 watt CFL with a Kelvin rating of between 4-5 thousand, it will be very close to a 100 watt incandescent.
Cover your pool, turn off its heater and turn off your sprinkler systems. If you are not going to use your fireplace, close off the damper as the heat escapes up the flue. If it still leaks, a chimney balloon is available that blocks the heat loss going up the chimney.
Take a look in your attic; you should have 10 inches of insulation there. Check and see if you have wall insulation. There are utility sponsored programs that will help you get attic and wall insulation, windows and new furnaces, with loans and rebates available.

Making the most of your inventory
Are you looking for a way to improve your business' efficiency, save money, and ensure you have the items your customers want? Good inventory management practices can help you have the right stock at the right time, improving your bottom line.
Your inventory is made up of all of the items you use to produce your product or service. For manufacturing businesses this includes raw materials, in-progress goods, and finished products. For retail and wholesale businesses, your inventory will contain the items you sell to customers.
Effectively managing your inventory can help you:
- Improve your cash flow
- Make purchasing decisions
- Recognize sales patterns
- Establish forecasts
- Set benchmarks
For many businesses, achieving the delicate balance of meeting customer demands while avoiding over-stocking can be challenging. Carrying too little inventory could drive away customers. Conversely, keeping too much inventory on hand will cost you money: it incurs lighting, heating, insurance, and maintenance costs and takes up space that could be used to display new items.
Implementing just-in-time inventory management practices may help your business achieve that important balance. Just-in-time suppliers deliver stock as it's needed, ensuring that you have the items your customers want without incurring the expenses associated with carrying "just-in-case", or buffer, stock. However, successful implementation of just-in-time strategies requires accurate monitoring and prediction of customer demand.
A healthy turnover rate is also a key factor in reducing costs and increasing profits. As you develop your inventory management strategy, the following tips might help.
- Keep your inventory fresh: offering special discounts and promotions can help you increase inventory turnover.
- Know what you have: keeping track of your inventory will help you identify best-selling items as well as unprofitable products.
- Negotiate with your suppliers: lower interest rates and longer payment terms can help you free up cash.
As a starting place, the Business Development Bank of Canada's inventory turnover calculator can help you calculate your inventory turnover ratio. For more information on making the most of your inventory, visit our Inventory Management section.

Working on his property in Arizona, Adams is building cars. It's hard to tell without another car for reference, but as you can see in the images above, 72-year-old Ernie Adams drives a very small car. Actually, the technical name is a "dwarf car," a road-legal nearly-perfect replica of a full-sized car, and Adams built it from scratch. He's been building dwarf cars since 1965 – all of them from scratch, by hand. Adams was apparently the first to do it.
A Dwarf Car is the end result of a dream Ernie Adams had. Ernie made his dream a reality by taking the design of early model cars and scaling them down to a smaller size.
At the insistence of excited fans, Ernie built a 1949 Mercury sedan Dwarf. This wide-bodied, low riding Mercury is fully decked out. With all its hand made chrome and amazing detail, people are awestruck at Ernie's craftsmanship.
Here is a link to a Youtube video you might enjoy. It's six minutes long.

LODI - A highly regarded officer who became the first female sergeant in the history of Stockton Unified's police force died early Thursday in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 99 in Lodi as she drove to work.
LODI - A highly regarded officer who became the first female sergeant in the history of Stockton Unified's police force died early Thursday in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 99 in Lodi as she drove to work.
Kim Pinto, 39, had been with the Stockton Unified force since 2008 and was promoted to sergeant last year. The Sacramento resident was a graduate of University of the Pacific and served on the police force there before being hired by Stockton Unified.
"Kimberly Pinto stood tall in our department," Stockton Unified Police Chief Jim West said. "A natural and talented leader, Kim had all the attributes to be chief one day. Kim brought humor, drive and competence to everything she undertook. She will be deeply missed both personally and professionally by all who knew her."
Witnesses told the California Highway Patrol that Pinto, driving a 2003 Honda Accord, was speeding and shifting from lane to lane on southbound Highway 99 to get around slower traffic before the crash.
As she entered Lodi, witnesses said, Pinto drove up behind a 2012 Dodge Avenger traveling at 65 mph. The driver of the Dodge changed lanes to get out of Pinto's way, according to witnesses, but she switched lanes, too.
The front of Pinto's car struck the left rear corner of the Dodge, according to witnesses, and slammed into a large tree on the left shoulder of the road. Pinto was not wearing a seat belt, according to the CHP. The Dodge, driven by 26-year-old Michael Quackenbush of Galt, also struck a tree, the CHP reported, but he was wearing his seat belt and was not injured.
Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash, the CHP said.
Chavez High Principal Will Nelson said Pinto, the resource officer at his school in 2010-11, had a unique way with students and parents. Nelson said Pinto sometimes visited the homes of Chavez students to help parents whose children were refusing to get out of bed and go to school. He added that Pinto deserved a great deal of credit for helping reduce gang tensions during her time at Chavez.
"She was able to de-escalate things," Nelson said. "She was great at communicating and working with kids and parents."
Nelson said Pinto visited Chavez on Wednesday and received numerous hugs from students who knew her when she was assigned to the high school. Pinto and Nelson were supposed to meet again Thursday. Nelson was recruiting Pinto to serve as an adult facilitator in an incoming program at Chavez aimed at further easing tensions at the school.
"Her talent was really in understanding the kids and parents beyond her law enforcement duties," Nelson said. "She was the ideal school resource officer. She understood building relationships with the school community was really going to prevent things from happening and make a difference."
Stockton Unified Trustee Sara Cazares, who represents the area that includes Chavez, called Pinto "a phenomenal officer with a heart of gold that cared about our community and kids."
Cazares added, "She really tried to reach out to all of them, but especially those who were falling through the cracks. Oftentimes when she was at Chavez, the kids would go to her before they would go to anybody else about anything."

CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, October 12, 2011) – LA Galaxy defender Gregg Berhalter announced today that he will retire following the 2011 MLS season. Now in his 18th season as a professional, Berhalter joined the Galaxy in April 2009 and was a central figure in the club's defensive transformation that has seen them allow the fewest goals in MLS over the past three seasons. In January, the 38-year-old New Jersey native became a player/coach, joining Bruce Arena's coaching staff in addition to his role as a central defender. Berhalter, who has been out since injuring his right foot in a CONCACAF Champions League game at home against Alajuelense on August 25, will be honored following the Galaxy's regular season home finale against Chivas USA on Sunday.
"I am grateful for all of the experiences that soccer has given me throughout my career," Berhalter said. "I am proud to have been able to play for my country at the highest level as well as to play for all of the clubs that I have. I hope that I represented them well through hard work, dedication and my love for the game.
"There are an endless number of people that I have learned from and who have helped me throughout this journey and I am eternally thankful to all of them. Specifically, I would like to thank AEG, Bruce Arena and the entire Galaxy coaching staff for transforming this club into the one that it is today and for allowing me to be a part of it. I have enjoyed every minute of my three years with the Galaxy and will cherish the time that I have been able to spend with my teammates and the staff here with the club.
"I would also like to thank Nike for their continued support throughout my entire career. Finally, I would not be the person that I am today if not for the support of my parents, siblings and especially my wife and children. I cannot thank them enough for being a part of this wonderful journey with me.
"This was not an easy decision for me to make but I feel that the timing is right for me to close this chapter of my career and begin to focus on the next stage as I look to continue my career in coaching."
The final stop in a professional soccer career that saw him play in England, Germany and Holland, Berhalter signed with the Galaxy on April 3, 2009 and made his debut for the club in a U.S. Open Cup Play-In Game against Colorado four days later. Just four days after that game, Berhalter made his MLS debut, helping the Galaxy record the first of their then-club record 12 shutouts in a 0-0 draw with Chivas USA.
That season, Berhalter's partnership in central defense with Omar Gonzalez helped the Galaxy concede an MLS-record 31 fewer goals than they had the season before, going from 62 goals allowed in 2008 to 31 in 2009. He played in and started 26 games for the club that year, as well as all four of their postseason games. While he did not score a regular season goal for the club, Berhalter scored one of the biggest goals in club history, beating Houston goalkeeper Pat Onstad from close range in the first half of extra time in the Western Conference Championship to give the Galaxy a 1-0 lead en route to a 2-0 win and a berth in MLS Cup.
In 2010, Berhalter helped the Galaxy win the Supporters' Shield for the first time since 2002 and set a club record for the fewest goals allowed in a single season. Despite missing much of the final two months of the season with various injuries, Berhalter remained one of the most intelligent center backs in the game, with the Galaxy allowing just 10 goals in the 16 games that he played in, keeping a clean sheet in half of those. Injuries persisted this season, limiting him to just 12 games in all competitions, with eight of those coming in the league. He tallied one assist in his time on the field, setting up Juninho for the game-winning goal against FC Dallas at The Home Depot Center on August 6. LA was 6-0-2 in the league with Berhalter in the lineup this season and allowed just two goals in his 613 minutes of action.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Gregg, first with the National Team and now for the last three years with the Galaxy, and he has played a pivotal role in the success that we have had in that time," Galaxy general manager and head coach Bruce Arena said. "The combination of his ability, work ethic, leadership and professionalism has helped him become the player that he is and we will miss his presence on the field next season."
Berhalter's professional career began in 1994 when he left the University of North Carolina after his junior season and signed with FC Zwolle of the Dutch Second Division. He would go on to play for two more Dutch clubs, Sparta Rotterdam and Cambuur Leeuwarden, each of the Eredivisie, which is the top flight of soccer in Holland, before moving to England in 2000 to join Crystal Palace. Following the 2002 World Cup, Berhalter moved to Germany, playing for Energie Cottbus and TSV 1860 Munich in the German Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. He spent seven seasons in Germany, making nearly 200 appearances between the two clubs, captaining each, while helping Cottbus achieve promotion to the Bundesliga during the 2005-06 season, his final season with the Brandenburg-based club.
In addition to his club career, Berhalter made 44 appearances with the U.S. National Team, debuting in October 1994 against Saudi Arabia at the age of 21. A member of the 2002 and 2006 U.S. World Cup squads, he played two games at the 2002 World Cup, helping the U.S. beat Mexico 2-0 in the Round of 16 before falling to Germany in the Quarterfinals. He was also a part of the U.S. squad at the 1999 and 2003 Confederations Cup, as well as the team that finished fourth in the 1995 Copa America.
Tickets are on sale now, starting at just $30, for the Galaxy's final home game of the regular season on Sunday, October 16 against Chivas USA, as well as for the home leg of their Western Conference Semifinal Series, which is scheduled to be played on either Wednesday, Nov. 2 or Thursday, Nov. 3.

Hampstead protest targets man who shot, killed dogBy DAMIEN FISHER and PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 13. 2013 9:07PM
HAMPSTEAD - Protesters gathered Sunday outside the West Road home of the retired Manchester police officer who shot and killed a neighbor's dog.
The demonstration, organized by activists from Massachusetts who had heard of the killing of Sadie, a 6-year-old Brittany spaniel, had the support of the dog's owners, Fred and Judy Galietta.
"We're not involved in it, but we're backing it," Judy Galietta said.
The protest was organized by Peabody, Mass., animal rights activist Suzan Acosta.
"We have to stand up for the animals that don't have a voice," said Acosta, who hopes to start up a new animal rights group, Crusaders for Animal Welfare, in the coming months. "We're not trying to take away anyone's right to own a gun. But having a gun comes with great responsibility. You need to know your target before shooting."
Hampstead police said they were alerted to the demonstration, and had four police officers outside 305 West Road while it took place. The crowd was estimated at about 50 at its peak, police said. Officers were told the same group expects to be there again next Sunday.
Fred Galietta said there were between 10 and 15 people involved in the protest when he checked on it during the afternoon.
"For a bad day weather-wise, that's not bad," he said. "It makes you feel good. We didn't organize it, but we appreciate it. This happened to us, but it could happen to you. It could happen to anyone."
Acosta said she had never met the Galiettas, and only learned of their situation through media accounts of the shooting.
"I just had to come here," said Acosta. "I had to do something. These people were so hurt by this, I felt like something needed to be done for Sadie. There were no problems, everyone was respectful. Everyone who stopped by understood what we were doing."
The Galiettas were devastated after Sadie was shot and killed Jan. 5 by their neighbor, Christopher Gibbons.
"We love animals like children," Judy Galietta said. "Anytime an animal or child is hurt, it kills us."
Gibbons was cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting after police found he was within his rights under state law.
"The law has to be rewritten," Judy Galietta said.
State law RSA 466:28 states: "Any person may kill a dog that suddenly assaults the person while such person is peaceably walking or riding without the enclosure of its owner or keeper; and any person may kill a dog that is found out of the enclosure or immediate care of its owner or keeper worrying, wounding, or killing sheep, lambs, fowl, or other domestic animals."
The Galiettas have been calling on lawmakers to remove the word "worrying" from the law. An animal not being physically attacked is not in a state of worry, Judy Galietta said.
"We're not trying to make this one-sided," said Fred Galietta. "I would like to see language included in there that before someone takes this step, they contact their local animal control officer, or police department. Have someone assess the situation. From what I understand, the law was written to protect sheep and lambs. Worrying needs to be better defined."
Farmers have expressed their support for the law, saying it protects livestock.
Gibbons told police he shot Sadie with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle after he found the dog harassing his two caged rabbits about 7:50 a.m. Though the dog was barking outside the cage, Gibbons told police that he was concerned for the rabbits because they are fragile and susceptible to heart attacks.
Galietta does not believe her dog was putting the rabbits in any kind of danger.
"Sadie would not do that," she said.
Acosta said she and other animal rights supporters would be back in Hampstead next Sunday at 1 p.m. to stage another peaceful demonstration.

A CONVICTED killer on the run from a Gwent prison was described as a 'danger to society' when he was given a life sentence for killing his partner almost 15 years ago.
Gwent Police are appealing for information to help locate 44-year-old Christopher Woodward who absconded from HMP Prescoed at around 8.44am on Friday, January 17. Specialist search officers and the air support unit are currently searching for him but so far there have been no reported sightings.
Yesterday the Argus reported Monmouthshire MP David Davies was calling on the prison service to 'think carefully' about who is put into open prisons.
But the Argus can now reveal Woodward was initially convicted of murder, before appealing and having it reduced to manslaughter.
Woodward was initially convicted of the murder of partner Jo-Ann Noble, 21, at Lincoln Crown Court in July 2000.
In December 2001 he had the conviction reduced to manslaughter and was given a new life sentence by the Court of Appeal.
At that time, Lord Justice Kennedy said Woodward was "a danger to society, especially women".
The appeal court heard Woodward killed Jo-Ann after they argued on a night out on August 9, 1999.
The court heard Woodward wrapped Jo-Ann's body in a duvet and left it in her bedroom for a week.
A Gwent Police spokesman said: "We understand the concerns members of the public may have since Christopher Woodward absconded from HMP Prescoed on Friday, January 17.
"Since he absconded Gwent Police has been working closely with the prison authorities with a view of locating him.
"There may be a potential risk to the public due to the fact that he is no longer in the custody of the prison service."
Woodward is described as being white, 5ft 10 inches tall and of medium build. He was clean shaven but may now have stubble growth, short cropped brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing blue jeans, blue shoes and a black bomber jacket.
If anyone sees him they are advised not to approach him but to call police on 101 quoting log 68 17/01/14.

ATLANTA - Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials are stressing the importance of watercraft safety as Labor Day weekend approaches.
Agency officials say there have been 68 boating incidents, eight boating-related fatalities and 22 people have drowned in Georgia waterways this year. Officials say conservation rangers have also handed out 140 boating under the influence citations.
Boaters are encouraged to establish designated operators - similar to designated drivers - and take a boating safety course.
Officials say boaters and children should always wear lifejackets while they're on the water, and operators should avoid overloading their watercrafts with people or equipment.

The most downloaded New York Times business article recently was "Make Money, Save the World". Yet another sign of one of the hottest trends in business today: corporations doing well while doing good. It's not only here to stay; it's now a full-fledged business model.
Altrushare Securities, the article says, is a firm majority-owned by two charities. So the question is: "Is it a for-profit business or a nonprofit fund-raising machine?" The answer: both. To coin the expression coined in the article: it's a for-benefit corporation.
The term may be brand new, but the concept has been around for a while. Since its creation over half a century ago, IFC has been dedicated to the notion that a corporation can do good in emerging markets through investments in private enterprise. By helping companies of all sizes access opportunities in emerging markets, IFC is furthering development impact on the ground in those countries.
Just one of the earliest examples of how companies are "making money, saving the world".

It is possible that the main title of the report Schwartz Jampel Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities of the skeletal muscles, including muscle weakness and stiffness (myotonic myopathy); abnormal bone development (bone dysplasia); permanent bending or extension of certain joints in a fixed position (joint contractures); and/or growth delays resulting in abnormally short stature (dwarfism). Affected individuals may also have small, fixed facial features and various abnormalities of the eyes, some of which may cause impaired vision. The range and severity of symptoms may vary from case to case. Two types of the disorder have been identified that may be differentiated by age of onset and other factors. Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1, which is considered the classical form of the disorder, may become apparent during early to late infancy or childhood. Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a more rare form of the disorder, is typically recognized at birth (congenital). Most researchers now believe that SJS type 2 is actually the same disorder as Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome and not a form of Schwartz-Jampel syndrome. (For more information on Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome see the Related Disorders section of this report.)
Schwartz-Jampel syndrome is thought to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. However, some cases reported in the medical literature suggest an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

One of the primary goals for the organization this year is increasing marketing efforts along the 40-mile circuit, Condor said at the Lariat Loop annual meeting Monday morning.
A key upcoming project is placing an interpretive shelter at the Wooly Mammoth Parking Lot on U.S. 40, said board member Joe Tempel.

SPOKANE — An online farmers' market expects to boost the number of customers with a new location in Spokane.
Shelly Stevens, owner and manager of Northwest Farm Fresh, said customers place orders online from Wednesday morning through Monday afternoon. Their order is ready for pickup Tuesday afternoon at one of three locations: Chewelah and Colville, Wash., or, beginning this week, Spokane. Customers pay for the food when they pick it up.
Farmers can also access the website, posting photos of their products and providing information about them. They set their price, and the software adds a 30 percent markup, Stevens said.
She doesn't see a downside for the farmer.
"Everything is pre-sold," Stevens said. "It's not like going to the farmers' market and hoping you sell everything and if you do sell everything, wondering if you missed an opportunity to sell more."
When the shopping period closes Monday afternoon, farmers receive the list of items that were ordered. They deliver the items to one of the three locations Tuesday morning.
Stevens takes all items to her base in Chewelah and then sorts and redistributes them to the proper pickup location.
The program will operate year-round. Winter items include eggs, bread, dairy and storage vegetables.
More than 70 farmers are signed up.
The business started 1 1/2 years ago as the Chewelah Farmers' Market and changed its name with the Spokane expansion. Stevens expects the Spokane location will more than double the existing 300 customers.
"Not every customer can make it to the market," she said. "This is another arm of the farmer's marketing strategy."
Karen Kinney, executive director of the Washington State Farmers Market Association, said her organization supports farmers and shoppers connecting, but she isn't sure online markets make that connection.
"The whole concept of a farmers' market is you meet the person that grew your food, you have an opportunity to ask questions, interact and learn more about what you're buying before you buy it," she said. "It's much harder to do that when you're shopping online and looking at a picture."
She says it's hard to predict whether more online markets will start up, but she feels there will likely be a place for both models.
"It's a chance to experiment and try different things," she said. "Online selling works, let's have it work for farmers."
Amy McCann, CEO and co-founder of Local Food Marketplace, LLC in Eugene, Ore., provides the software for online farmers' markets, food hubs and cooperatives, including Northwest Farm Fresh. Her company has 65 customers in the United States and Canada, and recently released an application allowing customers to shop using mobile devices.
Gary Angell, a farmer near Reardan, Wash., said the new Spokane location coincides with the closing of most farmers' markets for the season.
He said the online market is also a good alternative for customers who don't have the time to go to markets, and offers more selections of some items. The online market also provides an opportunity for smaller operations who can't attend all of the roughly 15 farmers' markets in the Spokane area, he said.
"Food (doesn't) quit growing when school starts — customers really stop going to the market about that time," he said.
