The Phelps County Emergency Services Board's treasurer is concerned about the board's share of the cost for the April 2 municipal elections.
PCESB Treasurer Buz Harvey shared his worry during the board's meeting Thursday night and has written to area state legislators in hoping to change or clarify state statutes regarding elections for emergency services boards.
There are four open seats on the board — two in the District One of the county and two in District Two.
Three people — Steve Zap and Stoney Byrne, both incumbents, and Randy Barr have all filed for the seats in District Two, but no one filed in District One.
When the same number of candidates file for the number of open seats on boards, there is no election. That is the case this time for the Phelps County Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees and the Rolla Board of Education, but when no candidates file, an election must be held.
Harvey said because the hospital and school boards will not share in the election costs this April, it will mean that the PCESB will be left to share the brunt of the costs.
"We are a countywide entity and we are going to get hit with somewhere between a $20,000 and $35,000 bill for that," Harvey said. He estimated the higher amount might be about half the cost of the election.
Harvey compared the PCESB to public water and sewer districts, which he said, "are not unlike us in that you have a board usually made up of volunteers who don't get any compensation."
According to Missouri Revised Statute RSMo. 247.180, "if there is no candidate for the post of any given subdistrict, then no election shall be held for that post and it shall be considered vacant." The board can then appoint an individual to fill that vacancy.
However, that is not the case for the PCESB. The next two board members on the PCESB could be decided by write-in votes this April.
Harvey said he wrote letters to state Sen. Dan Brown and state Reps. Keith Frederick and Jason Smith about the election, but hadn't heard back from them as of Thursday night.
"It would be better if we did not have to share in any more election costs than we actually have to," he said. "Let's get that statute changed so we don't run into this again … I want somebody to acknowledge this in time so that we can get it taken care of before we have to get stuck with another $25,000 or $30,000 bill."
Harvey said he does not expect any change soon enough to to affect this election, but he wants to hopefully have something in place in the future.

PCESB members by a vote of 4-1 approved a resolution authorizing the board to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Rolla and Phelps County Commission to purchase software and aerial photography imaging through a system called pictometry. The board gave preliminary approval of the system at its December meeting.
Board member Pam Grow voted against the resolution. Board members Stoney Byrne, Carl Collet, Larry Seest and Buz Harvey all voted in favor of it. Board member Steve Zap was absent.
The agreement includes wording that allows any of the entities involved to withdraw from the agreement with at least 120 days advance written notice to the assessor's office prior to the second and third flights that will take the aerial images.
Thurman noted that he drafted the agreement and that the law firm he works for represents all of the agencies involved in the agreement. Grow said she appreciated Thurman's candor.
PCESB Chairman Paul Rueff noted that the tentative date to go live with the new Archonix computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management system is April 15. Training on the new system will begin in mid- to late-March and there would be two weeks in April allowed for individuals to become familiar with the new system.
Communications Chief Paula Volkmer said that no issues have been reported so far with a pilot program aimed at boosting radio signal in the Duke and Edgar Springs areas. The program went live Jan. 10.

Estate Planning Issues During and After Divorce
Estate Planning is not something that everyone wants to think about. But it's an important thing to consider if you have a significant amount of property or wealth. Even if you only have a small amount of wealth, you want to make sure that if you pass on, your property goes to the right people in your life.
Without the proper planning this may not happen. Let's say for example you have no children and have yet to be married. Let's say also that you spend all of your time working with a children's charity, and that if you did pass on you would want your money to go to this group.
Without the proper planning, your money could go to your closest surviving family member. This could be a sister that you don't get along with or a cousin you never knew. If you know where you want your money to go, then estate planning should be a top priority.
Nobody likes to think about death. When you start to think about estate planning, you start to think about how you might die. It's a sad thing to think about for many people. But you should try your best to stay strong so that those that you love can get what you would've wanted them to have.
Another way to approach the issue is to do it with an experienced company. Estate planning companies with experience dealing with this sort of thing can make the process much easier. They know it's hard to think about these matters, so they make the questioning process as brief as possible for you. Working with a professional in the field will make the whole process much easier.
You can do some shopping around to find the right company. Your estate planning choices are some of the most important choices you will have to make in your lifetime. You want to make sure that you choose the right company to handle them.
It is important to note that the estate planning process doesn't have to take a long time. You generally know how you would like things to be worked out before you begin the process. Your estate planner will just help to make your words legally binding, and remind you of issues you might have forgotten.

Earth : North America : Caribbean : Dominica
Dominica is a Caribbean island country between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, about one-half of the way from Puerto Rico to Trinidad and Tobago. It is often known as "The Nature Island of the Caribbean" due to its spectacular, lush, and varied flora and fauna, which are protected by an extensive natural park system. The most mountainous island of the Lesser Antilles, its volcanic peaks are cones of lava craters and include Boiling Lake, the second-largest thermally active lake in the world. Should not be confused with the Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic.
Tropical; moderated by northeast trade winds; heavy rainfall. Flash floods are a constant threat; destructive hurricanes can be expected during the late summer months. Great for long walks on the beach and love making.
Rugged mountains of volcanic origin.
Dominica was the last of the Caribbean islands to be colonized by Europeans, due chiefly to the fierce resistance of the native Caribs. France ceded possession to Great Britain in 1763, which made the island a colony in 1805. In 1980, two years after independence, Dominica's fortunes improved when a corrupt and tyrannical administration was replaced by that of Mary Eugenia Charles, the first female prime minister in the Caribbean, who remained in office for 15 years. Some 3,000 Carib Indians still living on Dominica are the only pre-Columbian population remaining in the eastern Caribbean.
Administrative divisions. 10 parishes: Saint Andrew, Saint David, Saint George, Saint John, Saint Joseph, Saint Luke, Saint Mark, Saint Patrick, Saint Paul, Saint Peter
Other destinations
Get in
Visitors from the United States, Canada, Singapore and European Union nations are granted automatic visas on entry for up to 21 days (with extensions available). Other nations should check with Dominica immigration before traveling.
By plane
There are two airports in Dominica, Melville Hall (DOM) and Canefield (DCF). Most commercial flights land at Melville Hall. However, the airport is not able to accommodate jet aircraft. Night Landing has been approved starting at the beginning of October 2010; however, many airlines have not yet adjusted their itineraries to accommodate the added landing hours. The island can be accessed through San Juan, Antigua, Barbados, St. Maarten, Martinique, Guadeloupe and other Caribbean hubs. [8]
By boat
From Martinique and Guadeloupe ferries on most days of the week. Arrival in Roseau.
Cruise ships increasingly visit. A large pier serves many directly in front of the downtown area. If already occupied, ships dock at the industrial port about 1.5 miles away.
Get around
As far as freedom of movement and exploration a car can be invaluable. Though small the island's tightly turning mountain roads make for relatively long journeys and a hair-raising experience. Driving is on the left hand side of the road and there are various car rental agencies at both airports.
Other travel options include bus or taxi. If you are on a low budget and have plenty of time then hitch-hiking or the bus will be fine (except on Sundays), although sitting in a bumpy bus for long trips on winding mountain roads is not the most comfortable thing to do. Taxi is more comfortable than the buses and may not be expensive, particuarly if the fare is shared with 2+ travellers. Whether you use the bus or taxi, make sure that you clearly agree to the destination and price before you start the trip.
Languages : English (official), French patois
The capital of Roseau has many restaurants, small shops and wonderful views of the mountains (to the east) and the Caribbean Sea (to the west). The town hums with the sounds of vehicles, Caribbean accents, and minor commerce (e.g. sidewalk BBQs, vendors selling clothing in street stalls).
An old British Fort is located on the north-west coast at Portsmouth. A small fee may be charged. Expect to spend 1-2 hours at the site.
Scotts Head is a small isthmus on the southern tip of the island. It is also the name of the small community located there. It takes about one hour to drive from Roseau each way. Scotts Head is a great place to hike up the steep outcrop, which offers a wonderful view of the south-west coast of Dominica and the Caribbean Sea (and even the island of Martinique to the south).
Snorkeling is particularly good at Champagne, south of Roseau, and at Scott's Head. Scuba Diving, waterskiing, jet skiing, kayaking or other water sports are also possibilities. Note that kayaking or canoeing provide an alternative to the ocean and lets you experience the rivers and inland bodies of water throughout Dominica.
Whale watching, dolphin watching, or boat tours can be arranged from Roseau.
Dominica's waters are also home to three species of marine turtles (Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green turtle), and these gentle giants can be seen coming in to nest on shore during the months of April to October. Protected viewing sites are set up throughout the island, such as at Mangrove Bay on the Woodford Hill beach in the north east, or on the beaches of Portsmouth in the north west.
Hiking trip, biking, ATV tours, or zip lining are popular in forest areas. Hiking is one of the best ways to see Dominica and there are many wonderful hikes around the island of easy to challenging.
Dominica rock climbing and canyoning is an encouraging and motivating experience. It tests strength and agility while experiencing some of the most breathtaking views of Dominica.
Dominica is known for their many island events and festivals. The Caribbean Islands love food, music, and celebration. Whether it's a cultural gathering or a music festival Dominica offers it.
Many of Dominica's resorts offer spa vacation services on the premise for a convenient way to get rejuvenated for the next day of activities.
The best local handicrafts are Carib made baskets. The earth tone colors come from burying the fibers in the ground for different lengths of time. U.S. citizens (likely others) need to ensure that the materials from which they are made allow them to be taken back home.
Dominica is also well known for its music, so be sure to buy some local music while you are on the island. Genres range from jazz, reggae-dancehall, calypso & soca, to Cadence-lypso and Bouyon and which are popular Dominican genres. Visit during the last weekend in October and be treated to the World Creole Music Festival [9] or if you can't make it, ask for the best local artistes, and be aware of pirated copies!
Many kiosks and vendors line the shore at the main cruise ship dock. One excellent leather store faces the dock on the other side of the road. Just a short block inland lies a packed, open-air market with perhaps the island's best selection of souvenirs.
Look out for cacao sticks to make cocoa tea as a nice souvenir to take back home.
Freshly squeezed grapefruit is ubiquitous and is perfect with every meal. Coconut water is cheap and readily available by the side of the road. Another local specialty is sorrel. This red refreshing drink is brewed from the flowers of an hibiscus specie common also in Jamaica. The popular locally brewed beer is Kubuli. Ask your hotel to set up a tour of the brewery.
There are many vendors of fruit juice in Roseau. Almost without exception this is non-pasturised fruit juice with water and sugar added. The added water is usually chlorinated tap water. A juice vendor known as Pal sells his juice by the area where one can find a bus to Portsmouth. Pal is one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable fruit vendors on the island. He sometimes has juice from rare fruits.
Quenchi is a local soft drink which comes in many different flavors. It can be found in every village (with diet varieties at the IGA in Roseau).
Sorrel, known as the christmas drink for its red colour (and because it only flowers around christmas) is made from boiled flowers. It tastes heavenly.
Avocado pear juice can be purchased in some small cafes and is certainly worth a try. Other flavours include soursop, passionfruit, grapefruit, orange, lime, beetroot.
The coffee is usually not very good, as most locals seem to prefer tea and juice, with the occasional exception. There are also a few coffee shops around the major towns.
Many accommodations on the island are outside of the towns. For in-city accommodations, see the respective city articles.
All work permits are valid for one-year duration and can be renewed. An application involves the submission of two completed copies of the relevant form together with the following supporting documents;
Work Exchange at Nature Island Eco-village Tourist permits do not permit work for money, however, work trade is not forbidden.
Stay safe
Take usual precautions when travelling around Dominica. Although rare, petty crimes are most likely to happen around Roseau. Elsewhere the island is extremely safe.[20]
Stay healthy
Tap water is safe to drink, but since it is sometimes drawn straight from Dominica's many rivers, it has a tendency to turn brown after heavy rainfall. It's better to drink the bottled water available almost anywhere.
Basic healthcare is available at Princess Margaret Hospital in Roseau.
North Americans moving to Dominica often experience boils for the first time and fingernail and toenail fungi. Stomach problems are rare among travellers.
Towns are sprayed with insecticides periodically to control the mosquitoes responsible for spreading Dengue fever. However, the spraying may not be done at the scheduled time and pesticides may drift into your home if the windows are open.
In the high lands and uninhabited central regions water is gathered at roadside springs. Sometimes the bus will stop and passengers will fill their water bottles. Locals prefer the taste of this water to bottled water. Public water is bacterially safe to drink due to heavy chlorination and has the expected chlorine flavor. LGBT travelers should be aware that "buggery" (a term used for homosexual sex on the island) is illegal in Dominica, as indicated by the 2012 arrest of two gay Americans who were seen having sex on the balcony of their cruise ship while it was docked. The two men did not serve jail time, but paid a $900 fine.
Area code is 767, on the North American exchange.
Digicel [21] is a local cellular company which provides prepaid plans for those visiting for short periods. Cable & Wireless and Orange also provide cell service.

Although he's suffering from a broken back that is being supported by rods and screws, not to mention 46 staples necessary after surgery, a Shawnee nurse is keeping his spirits up as he begins a rehabilitation program at an Oklahoma City hospital.
Although he's suffering from a broken back that is being supported by rods and screws, not to mention 46 staples necessary after surgery, a Shawnee nurse is keeping his spirits up as he begins a rehabilitation program at an Oklahoma City hospital.
Trever Engler, 35, is recovering from injuries suffered Jan. 2 while aboard a Medi Flight helicopter ambulance that experienced a rough landing when the engine stopped shortly after take off.
The accident occurred as he and three other crewmembers aboard the chopper were responding from Seminole Regional Airport to the scene of a traffic accident near Okemah, he said.
"We took off, and the next thing the engine quit and we were on the ground," Engler said. "As soon as I hit, I felt my back — it hurt."
Engler, who was moved from OU Medical Center to Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center on Friday, is beginning his journey to recovery.
Engler said he is able to walk but will have to relearn that and many tasks through rehab, and that journey could take several months or up to a year.
In addition to three spinal fractures and other back issues, Engler also suffered chemical burns from the aviation fuel, with those burns healing well.
For the nurse who normally cares for patients, it's been a different, but good experience to be on the other side of care.
"I understand everything and I'm able to talk to the doctors," he said, adding he understands most of the technical lingo.
Engler worked off-and-on for many years as a REACT EMS paramedic, but had worked previously at both Medi Flight and Eagle Med. Several years ago, after the birth of his daughter, he said he left the profession at Eagle Med and returned to working as a nurse in the Emergency Room following another helicopter crash involving his colleagues.
But after working the past few years in the emergency room at St. Anthony Shawnee, along with a long-standing job as a paramedic with Creek Nation EMS, Engler said he "got the itch" to return to the skies as a flight nurse.
"I really, really loved doing it and I really missed it," he said, so he had recently returned to work at Medi Flight, which is operated out of OU Medical Center.
He was on his fifth day back at work there when the accident occurred near Cromwell in Seminole County.
It was a normal day as he and three others were en route to a traffic accident call. The chopper was about five miles away from take-off when the engine quit, he said, then "it went bad fast."
The crew practices and trains for such emergencies, he said, and everything appeared to go by the textbook as they helped the pilot find a place to land, even though that landing was a little harder than they wanted.
Engler was able to get his seat belt unfastened and he fell forward. Another medic helped him out of the aircraft to safety.
"It was a serious crash — we're lucky we didn't die," he said.
Of the three others on board that day, two remain in the hospital, Engler said.
Despite the obstacles he faces, Engler has remained positive.
"I have faith in the Lord and I always have a good spirit," he said. "I try to stay as happy as I can."
With family and friends at his side, Engler said he's thankful for the support and prayers.
"I'll be back just as strong," Engler said.
His mother, Connie Engler, is grateful he's getting better.
"It's very hard to watch your child hurt," she said, adding, "wounds will heal."
Engler and his wife, Alicia, have a daughter, Emily, who is 3.
A family fund to assist Engler and his family during his recovery has been set up online at https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/ePqub

The Grace Hospitality Committee is planning refreshments in Stull Hall following the concert. Call 828-693-4890 for more information.
White to discuss medical mission trip
Katherine White, a member of Grace Lutheran Church, traveled to Peru on a medical mission trip with Scalpel at the Cross in January. She will talk about her experiences at 6 p.m. May 29 in the Stull Hall of Grace Lutheran Church.
White is a Certified Athletic Trainer and works at Mission Hospital as a surgical technologist. The trip included a team of 17 individuals from all over the U.S. who offered their time and gifts to provide medical and surgical treatment to Peruvians and resident missionaries who have limited access to needed orthopedic treatment.
Scalpel at the Cross is the realization of a long-standing dream of a Christian orthopedic surgeon and his family. It has developed through many God-purposed experiences and friendships in the lives of those whose hearts are burdened to reach out to these people.
A meal will be served from 5-5:30 p.m. prior to the program for $5. Reservations for dinner are due by Wednesday. There is no fee for the presentation. To make meal reservations, call 828-693-4890 ext. 304.
Grace preschool teacher retiring
Debbie Shaw, lead 2-year-old teacher, will be retiring on Thursday from Grace Lutheran Preschool after 23 years of service with the Preschool Ministry.
Shaw began working at the school as a substitute when her son, Andrew, attended in 1989. Since then, she has lovingly guided the lives of hundreds of Hendersonville's children and introduced the 2-year-olds to preschool and her love of art and music.
She has also inspired ideas for the school's educational curriculum. Beth Ann Lehr, Grace Preschool director, said, "The children of Grace are so much better for having had Debbie as a teacher in their lives. She will be dearly missed as a valued member of our Preschool faculty."

Mr. Pashko Ujka, the Mayor of Velipojë, a town close to one of the protected sites where IUCN is working towards nature-based solutions, shares his views on the challenges the town faces and his work programme which combines environmental protection and tourism development. Mr. Ujka's interview is part of the new issue of the Advance Albania Newsletter.
Albania hosts a rich biodiversity, yet its natural heritage is threatened by inadequate management and growing human impact in some areas of the country. IUCN has partnered with the Albania Ministry for the Environment and the Italian Cooperation to design and implement management plans for two protected sites. These plans will not only strive to conserve nature and its diversity but will support the economic development of the country.
Eco-tourism is one of the activities which can help the community to create job opportunities while at the same time preserve the environment. As stated in the interview, Mr. Ujka sees the potential of such combination and has included it in its priorities. "My programme of work recognizes tourism as the main source of income for the town. I see tourism development closely linked to environmental improvements".
You can read more about Mr. Ujka's interview and other interesting news on IUCN's efforts in Albania in the Newsletter and the project webpages.

Performance Routing (PfR), which was formerly known as Optimized Edge Routing (OER), is the general term used for features that take into account diverse WAN characteristics and make an informed-decision on the best path to reach a network or application, given multiple choices that may have varied performance characteristics. PfR by its nature takes into account the network performance, delay, loss, and link loading, where traditional routing protocols typically rely solely on cost (total bandwidth) once reachability, in that there is a neighbor relationship between routers, exists across a WAN link.

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said this morning that her agency knew of alleged Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's trip to Russia last year even though his name was misspelled on a travel document.
A key lawmaker had said that the misspelling caused the FBI to miss the trip.
Napolitano's disclosure came as news to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who told the secretary that it contradicted what he'd been told by the FBI.
"They told me that they had no knowledge of him leaving or coming back so I would like to talk to you more about this case," Graham told Napolitano as she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on sweeping immigration legislation.
Napolitano said that even though Tsarnaev's name was misspelled, redundancies in the system allowed his departure to be captured by U.S. authorities in January 2012. But she said that by the time he came back six months later, an FBI alert on him had expired and so his re-entry was not noted.
"The system pinged when he was leaving the United States. By the time he returned all investigations had been closed," Napolitano said.
The Russia trip is now seen as potentially important to determining how and when Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older Boston bomber who died in a firefight with police, apparently became radicalized, and whether he had ties to others.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was investigated by the FBI at Russia's request and his name was included in a federal government travel-screening database after that. By the time of the flight Tsarnaev would have faced no additional scrutiny because the FBI had by that time found no information connecting him to terrorism.

Deer season has come full circle, with only a few days of bow hunting action remaining before the official close of the 2012 season.
Deer season has come full circle, with only a few days of bow hunting action remaining before the official close of the 2012 season.
It all began on Oct. 1, the start of a month and a half long period of archery-only deer hunting. That transitioned into the November firearms season and later the December muzzleloader season. Now the deer season will close how it opened, with bow hunters being the only ones in the woods.
The challenges of these final two weeks are immense, but tagging a buck is not impossible.
"Late season is different," said Ashley Autenreith, deer specialist with the Department of Natural Resources. "In firearms season, when most people are out there, bucks are rutting hard, focused on does. Now deer are focused on food."
Rutting bucks spend much of their time on their feet, even during daylight. The opposite is true once the rut has passed. The only thing that will get bucks moving before the sun sets is their need take in enough calories to stave off the cold.
"The colder it is, the more they feed," Autenreith added. "Bucks lose a lot of weight during the rut and they're trying to put that back on."
During the late season, the cold is a two edged sword. It gets the deer moving toward food sources, but the elements are tough on bowhunters.
During firearms season, hunters can bundle up as much as they could like, but archery hunters need to have range of movement and that means fewer bulky garments.
Layering is the key to achieving warmth without cumbersome clothing.
The general rule is to start with a moisture wicking layer, followed by several insulating layers, topped off with a wind and rain proof outer layer. This system provides the necessary warmth for the coldest days.
While the cold is a worthy foe in late December, edgy deer provide and even greater challenge.
For the last three months deer have been hunted in almost every nook and cranny of northern Michigan woods. Deer have a common reaction to all of this pressure, they become nocturnal. They only way to overcome this is to hunt close to bedding areas and wait for the weather for force deer to feed.
Most hunters focus exclusively on food in the late season, but getting as close to heavy, thick bedding cover is an often overlooked method for taking cold weather bucks.
"Cover doesn't get talked about as much, but it is really important too," said Jennifer Kleitch, biologist with the DNR. "Cedars and swamps offer wind break and thermal cover. Those are usually good spots."

(AP) — Tiger Woods in a green jacket once felt like an annual celebration of spring, as regular as the azaleas bursting with color at Augusta National.
Now it's more like a fading memory.
It has been eight years since Woods rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt to win the Masters in a playoff for his fourth green jacket. He appeared to be well on his way to living up to the audacious prediction made by Jack Nicklaus, who played a practice round at Augusta with Woods – then a 19-year-old amateur – and Arnold Palmer. Nicklaus came away so impressed that he considered his six Masters and the four won by Palmer and said, "This kid should win more than that.''
But the major Woods was supposed to dominate has become the major he can't seem to win anymore.
"It's been one of those things where I've been close there so many times on that back nine on Sunday, and I just haven't won,'' Woods said. "I've been in the mix. Been on the periphery and played myself into the mix. I've been right there with just a few holes to go, and it just hasn't happened. Hopefully, this year it will be a different story.''
This might be his best chance to end the drought – not only at the Masters, but in the majors. His last victory in one was the 2008 U.S. Open.
Woods is fully healthy for the first time in years. He appears happy after a scandal that ruined his marriage and his image, announcing a few weeks ago that he's dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn. He is winning again at an alarming rate – six out of his last 20 on the PGA Tour, including consecutive wins heading into the Masters. And he is back to No. 1 in the world.
Also back is his swagger.
(Related Photos: Classic Pictures of Tiger Woods)
"Everyone is waiting for the first major. I don't know why they're waiting for that,'' Hunter Mahan said. "I think he's done enough this year to realize that he's still really good and he's still better than everyone else. He set the bar so high, I don't know what is going to make everyone go, `He's back to that time.'
"It seems hard to be intimidating in golf,'' Mahan said. "But I think he's the closest thing to it.''
Now all Woods needs is another green jacket.
He has only worn the jacket for the Champions Dinner since last winning in 2005, and as defending champion at the trophy presentation a year later. Woods had six three-putts in 2006, twice missing eagle chances inside 15 feet on the back Sunday when he finished three shots behind Phil Mickelson. Those close to Woods suspected he was simply trying too hard, knowing it would be the last time his father watched the Masters. Earl Woods died a month later.
"Just really wanted to have him be a part of one last major championship victory and I didn't get it done,'' Woods said. "It hurt quite a bit. … There's never been another defeat that has felt like that.''
But the losses kept piling up. Woods couldn't catch Zach Johnson in 2007, hurt by a bogey-bogey finish in consecutive rounds. A cold putter stopped him in 2009, and in his last great chance in 2011, he was tied for the lead going to the back nine on Sunday and played it even par.
"Why has Tiger not won there in eight years? I don't know,'' Graeme McDowell said. I guess the style in which guys play nowadays, guys are long and aggressive, and it's not like Tiger back in `97 when he dominated people with his length. He was playing a completely different golf course from everyone else. I think there are so many guys now who can decimate a golf course like that when it's playing benign.''
One of those guys is Rory McIlroy, though golf's next big star hasn't looked like one lately.
(Related Photos: Rory McIlroy Life in Pictures)
The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland won the PGA Championship in August for his second major – more than Woods had at that age – and then became the first player to win back-to-back tournaments with Woods in the field during the FedEx Cup playoffs a month later. He closed out the year by capturing the money title on the PGA and European tours, and he was the undisputed best player in golf.
That's no longer the case. With so much scrutiny over swapping out all of his equipment under a massive Nike endorsement, McIlroy has languished. The missed cut in Abu Dhabi. A first-round loss in the Match Play Championship. Quitting after 27 holes of the Honda Classic. McIlroy added the Texas Open a week before the Masters, desperate to shake the rust out of his game and replace it with some confidence.
"All the pieces are there,'' he said. "It's about putting them all together. And once I put them together, I'll be fine.''
Brandt Snedeker figured to pose a challenge when he went through a torrid stretch at the start of the year by finishing runner-up in consecutive weeks to Mickelson and Woods, and then winning at Pebble Beach. But he had to take a month off with sore ribs, and Snedeker missed the cut in two events since his return.
Mickelson is always a threat at Augusta – another win would give him as many Masters titles as Woods – but he is as unpredictable as ever.
Woods typically is the man to beat in the majors, and in that regard, nothing has changed.
It's everything else about this Masters that is so different.
Along with speculating who will win a green jacket, there figures to be plenty of buzz about who's already wearing one – former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore. The club invited its first two women to join in the 80-year history.
"A joyous occasion,'' chairman Billy Payne said in Augusta when the club took the unusual step of announcing its latest members.
There is rarely a dull moment in the first major of the year, a product of being played on the same course with its spring beauty and endless cheers at Amen Corner. Consider the last four years alone:
– Angel Cabrera hit a shot off a tree, only for the ball to carom back into the fairway to keep his hopes alive in a playoff, which he won on the next hole in 2009.
– Mickelson appeared stymied behind two pine trees on the 13th hole, blasted a 6-iron off the pine needles and between the trees, a signature moment in his one-shot win.
– McIlroy had a four-shot lead going into the final round and hit a tee shot on the 10th hole that went behind the cabins, a spot he didn't even know was there. He made triple bogey and shot 80, and Charl Schwartzel became the first Masters champion to finish with four straight birdies.
– Louis Oosthuizen made the first albatross on the par-5 second hole – it took 21.5 seconds for the ball to leave his 4-iron in the fairway and drop into the cup for a 2 – only to lose the Masters in a playoff when Bubba Watson hit a shot that hooked 40 yards out of the trees and onto the 10th green.
What's next? Maybe the better question is who's next?
"I would trade all my tour wins for one green jacket. That's the place I want to win more than anywhere else,'' Snedeker said. "It encapsulates what I think is golf at its finest. Augusta is more than a golf tournament. It's an experience. The Kentucky Derby is more than a race. The Super Bowl is more than a football game. It's a social experience.''
This is shaping up as a Masters for the ages, with Woods on the cusp of returning to his full greatness, and McIlroy needing a green jacket to give him the third leg of the career Grand Slam. And there has never been an age discrepancy as wide as this one among the newcomers – 46-year-old Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand, and 14-year-old Guan Tianlang of China, who qualified by winning the Asia Pacific Amateur last fall.

"It's frightening to think that he was born after I won my first Masters,'' Woods said of the Chinese teen.
In so many ways, that `97 Masters seems like such a long time ago. And in some respects, so do the last couple of years.
Woods had only been married about six months when he last won the Masters in 2005. He was just starting to figure out the swing changes under his new coach, Hank Haney. If there were rivals, none were younger than him. The Nicklaus record seemed to be a matter of when, not if.
Based on the two months leading up to the Masters, Woods looks poised to reclaim his place as the best in golf, and get back on track in his pursuit of Nicklaus. His Sunday red shirt has looked brighter than ever this year. It might look even more intimidating under a green jacket.

The Live Oak Lions have had a remarkable season. On Tuesday night, they proved once again that they were not a force to mess with, beating the East Nicolaus Spartans 62-49.
The Live Oak Lions have had a remarkable season. On Tuesday night, they proved once again that they were not a force to mess with, beating the East Nicolaus Spartans 62-49.
The Lions were able to jump out early even without being able to make assists. Romario Acosta and Gurbeer Kooner combined for eight points in 8 minutes. The Lions ended up tied 10-10 at the end of the 1st quarter even though they had a goose egg in the assist column.
In the 2nd quarter, the Lions started to take control, scoring 23 points in the 8 minute time period. That's more points than some NBA teams score in 12 minute quarters. The Lions started passing the ball and people began getting involved. Aaron Pamma and Kooner led the quarter with 9 points and 7 points, respectively. Acosta dished in an additional 5 points.
At the half, the Lions had managed to put themselves in a good position with a 10 point lead of 33 to 23. Kooner and Pamma led the team with 11 points each and Acosta had tallied 9 points on his scorecard. Overall, the stats were quite favorable with the Lions, who came up with 10 steals and 17 rebounds. The team managed to salvage 5 assists while turning the ball over 7 times.
The Lions continued on their hot streak in the 2nd half, scoring 16 points in the 3rd quarter. Acosta made up 7 of those points. In the 4th quarter, the Lions tacked on 13 more points, eight of them coming from Acosta yet again.
The game stayed pretty even in the 2nd half, with the Lions only outscoring the Spartans by 3 points over the final 16 minute time period. Thus, since the Lions had a 10 point lead at the half, the Lions won easily at a final score of 62-49. Romario led the team in scoring with 24 points while Aaron Pamma followed close behind, racking up 19 points. Gurbeer stayed quiet in the 2nd half, but still finished in double digits for scoring with 11 points. The Lions came away with only 10 assists, yet they turned the ball over 14 times. The Lions won this game by virtue of the rebound department, out-rebounding the visiting Spartans 38-31. Of course, stealing the ball 14 times and holding the opposing team to 5 assists helps a good amount, too. But ultimately, it comes down to shooting the basketball and putting up more points than the other team. The Lions shot well, making 24 shots from the field (4 three pointers). The Lions could have done much better from the foul line, as they shot just barely over 50% from the stripe. However, the Lions (10 free throws made) still made more free throws than the Spartans (6 free throws made).
With the win, the Lions have gained confidence. Now, after a two game road trip last week and a full BYE week next week, the Lions last game will be against the team they are fighting for the league title: the Pierce Bears.

All-States Medical Supply's Fletcher staff is more than doubling in size in the next two months to meet the demands of a recently awarded Medicare contract, according to an All-States news release.
Medicare just released their list of only eighteen contract suppliers who won the bids for the national mail-order program for diabetes supplies. These will be the only companies allowed to provide supplies to the six million plus people with Diabetes on Medicare.
Two years ago, All-States Medical Supply was approved to provide supplies to nine areas nationwide, so this expanded territory means the company needs to grow quickly to be ready for the demand when the new contract goes into effect on July 1.
"In 2011, we learned how to handle an increase in call volume when we won the initial nine area contract," said Marcus Suess, president and owner of All-States Medical Supply. "Because our company's name starts with an 'A', we are at the top of the provider list and expect an even higher call volume than most."
All of this increase in demand means the company plans to go from 40 employees to 90 in the next two months. Open positions are primarily for customer care representatives and medical records, but will also include a few positions in billing and shipping departments. All positions are permanent 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, with most starting salaries at $10.50 an hour. Candidates with previous customer service experience are preferred.
JobLink at Blue Ridge Community College is assisting with the hiring process and will be accepting resumes for All-States Medical Supply by fax at 828-694-1698, email at email@example.com or in person (preferred method) at JobLink at Blue Ridge Community College at 180 West Campus Dr. in Flat Rock. All questions should be directed to Daniel Harris at 828-694-1755. More detailed information can be found on their website at www.allstatesmedical.com/about/jobs.

In an effort to increase awareness of child abuse and neglect, Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness of Hillsdale County (CAPA) is distributing pinwheels, the symbol for child abuse prevention, as part of the national Pinwheels for Prevention campaign.Since April 2008, more than three million pinwheels have been have been distributed nationwide. In Hillsdale, CAPA Executive Director Christie Campbell plans to pass out pinwheels April 9 at the Hello Hillsdale Breakfast, put on by the Chamber of Commerce.Campbell said child abuse is one of the reasons why there are so many in foster care in Hillsdale County.�There were also over 1,000 calls to central intake last year and that is very upsetting,� Campbell said.In the state of Michigan, Campbell cited over 15,000 Michigan children are living in out of home placements. Every day (statewide) 58 more children are identified to live in a family with allegations of abuse or neglect.The problem is not just statewide; in Hillsdale County there are 73 children in foster care. According to Laura Gillen, program manager at DHS, the top three reasons children enter foster care in Hillsdale County are: parental drug use, physical abuse and domestic violence.�Statewide the numbers of neglect and abuse cases are shocking,� Campbell said. �Locally and statewide these numbers are unacceptable. To think that every one of these 73 kids currently in foster care in Hillsdale has been subjected to an unhealthy and destructive home life is distressing. These are our kids, the next residents and leaders of our county and country.�Campbell said that Hillsdale County, as rated by Kid�s Count, a statewide assessment of child welfare on a county basis, is ranked 62nd out of the 82 counties of Michigan.�We�re definitely on the lower end of the list,� Campbell. �This is something that needs to change.�Campbell said CAPA of Hillsdale County has been distributing pinwheels in an effort to raise awareness during Child Abuse Prevention Month. She organized a picture taken as an event designed to promote awareness of the 70 (now 73)�children currently in Hillsdale County�s foster care system.�It was designed to entreat community members to view each child in an individual, with hopes and dreams, affected by abuse or neglect and not simply as a number,� she said.It is estimated that every dollar spent in prevention of child abuse or neglect saves seven dollars that would have been spent to right such a situation using foster care and other state and county services.Regardless of the economic benefit, the fact that prevention eliminates the victim of a child abuse or neglect case is priceless, Campbell said.�

"Hello!" from the McPherson County Extension Office!
"Hello!" from the McPherson County Extension Office!
My name is Lindsey Friesen, 4-H youth development agent for McPherson County. I wanted to share with you a little bit about myself as I am new to the McPherson community.
I grew up just down Interstate 135 in Newton, and was an 11 year 4-H member in Harvey County. After attending Kansas State University, I started my path toward a career centered on youth. I previously worked as an elementary school paraprofessional, 4-H program assistant in the Central Kansas District (Saline and Ottawa counties) and most recently was the 4-H youth development agent in Butler County.
If I am not at a 4-H event, you might find me spending time with my two paint horses (Thunder and Rocky), sewing, baking or spending time with my family back home. I love music and theater, as well, and can't wait to discover opportunities in McPherson and all the surrounding communities.
As a 4-H youth development extension agent, I will provide leadership in our communities by developing and delivering educational programming relative to building life skills in children and teens, including a positive self-concept, an inquiring mind, a concern for the community, healthy interpersonal relationships and sound decision making.
I am very blessed to have many experiences leading up to this position and do believe one of the most important things in life is learning.
Henry Ford once said, "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."
I am excited to continue learning as I work in this position of Research and Extension as well as share that knowledge and information with the community! Please stop by the Extension Office any time to say hello!

Rhodes family took great care of land
'I got my first ever spanking in school for telling this story," said Mildred Rhodes Grasso, 87, of Hendersonville. "It was the only scolding I ever received in school."
So what tale warranted "five licks with a ruler" from her schoolteacher? "I was telling everyone how my brother nearly got killed on Bearwallow Mountain," she said.
Grasso is one of 10 siblings in the Rhodes family raised in Henderson County's Clear Creek valley, near Fruitland. Her father, Harley B. Rhodes Sr., was esteemed in the community. She described her father as a forest ranger, game warden, scoutmaster, landowner and farmer. "No one could pass by him without tipping their hat," Grasso recalled. "He was a real Southern gentleman. He always wore his sleeves up."
Rhodes was the first man to staff the fire tower atop Bearwallow Mountain, one of the highest peaks in eastern Henderson County.
The tower was erected by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 as a lookout for forest fires in the valleys below. Quick detection of a plume of smoke from its bird's-eye view enabled notification to the fire department below. Rapid dispatch of firefighters to the scene could subdue a small forest fire before it spread into a ravaging inferno, threatening thousands of acres of forest and residents' homes.
According to Grasso, her father spent the entire fire season — typically December through April — on top of Bearwallow Mountain. A small log cabin, no longer present today, served as his sleeping quarters. He spent most of the daylight hours in a small cab — a 7-by-7-foot square room surrounded by windows — atop the 47-foot steel tower frame, looking for developing forest fires.
Grasso said that to reach Bearwallow Mountain, her father walked to the top, hiking several miles. "He only came home when it rained," she explained. "Even then, he had to go back the same day."
Along with her brothers and sisters, she often made the long walk to the top of Bearwallow Mountain to visit and stay with her father. The children frequently stopped to pick up a peck of corn, visiting at a gristmill along the way to have it ground into cornmeal that they could take to Rhodes.
"A peck of corn is pretty heavy," exclaimed Grasso, who recalled carrying it all the way from the valley to the summit. At an elevation of 4,232 feet, Bearwallow Mountain isn't short, either.
Rhodes had been staffing the fire tower a little more than a year by 1936. That was when Grasso's brothers, Luther, age 12, and Harley Jr., age 8, were visiting their father in the top of the tower. According to Harley Jr.'s son, Stacy Rhodes of Hendersonville — who later heard the story from his father, Rhodes Sr. was on a telephone party line relaying a weather and fire report.
"People all over Henderson County were listening in to get the update," Stacy Rhodes said. The listeners included other members of the Rhodes family at their home near Fruitland.
Suddenly, Harley Sr. cut his report short. "My son has fallen out of the fire tower," echoed over the telephone, according to Stacy. The call ended abruptly. Those listening in throughout the valleys below were undoubtedly mortified. Had something unspeakable happened atop Bearwallow Mountain?
"He fell right through that trap door," Grasso said of Harley Jr., who had accidentally slipped out of the cab of the fire tower. "Fell three flights of stairs" — about 20 feet through midair.
What Rhodes Sr. saw when he peered far beneath the lookout cab was almost unbelievable: an 8-year-old boy alive and well, hanging from a single bolt on the side of the tower by the strap of his overalls.
Harley Jr. was pulled to safety by his father and brother, shaken but otherwise unharmed. "It scared the life out of my father," Grasso said.
"He got a good spanking from his mother for playing around up there and not paying attention," Stacy Rhodes said of his young father's harrowing mishap.
Grasso said that other than sharing the story with her schoolmates, "we didn't give him a hard time about it because we were thankful — thankful to God that he was safe."
Harley Sr. staffed the fire tower on Bearwallow Mountain for five years in total, relinquishing the duty to one of his sons, Jim Rhodes, who manned it for many years beyond. The tower was used for fire detection until the mid-1990s.
Like the one on Bearwallow, most fire towers have been decommissioned by the Forest Service. Detection is now performed more efficiently by airplanes as well as reporting from the public via cellphones. The towers remain historic landmarks, structures from a bygone era that still represent the protection of our natural resources.
Even without the aid of the now-inaccessible fire tower, the grassy bald atop Bearwallow Mountain affords one of the best views in the county. For decades, it has been a destination for inspiration and reflection among residents and visitors. In spite of his father's long-ago moment of horror, Stacy Rhodes revels in the mountain's beauty. "It's hard to deny the majesty of it," he said.
Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy began protecting the top of Bearwallow Mountain in 2009 when it placed a conservation easement on 81 acres surrounding the summit. In 2011, the Carolina Mountain Club and CMLC constructed a one-mile hiking trail to the mountaintop to better enable visitors to enjoy its scenery.
Then late last year, CMLC further protected the ridgeline on Bearwallow Mountain though another conservation easement — this one totaling 84 acres.
Ultimately, the land trust hopes to conserve more than 400 acres on the locally beloved mountain, as well as incorporate it in a 12-mile hiking trail loop that will link other conserved lands while circumnavigating the Upper Hickory Nut Gorge near the community of Gerton.
Wish to see the beauty of Bearwallow Mountain for yourself? Join CMLC for its second annual Bearwallow Beast 5K Trail Run & Festival next Sunday, May 5. Runners will climb 1,400 feet from Gerton over the 3-mile course to the summit. The finish line hosts a mountaintop festival with local beer, bluegrass music and a 360-degree view.
Register for the race online at bearwallowbeast.com. Attendance at the festival is free for everyone. For more information, visit carolinamountain.org.
Peter Barr is outreach and trails coordinator for Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy.

The mortgage financing is settled. You've been scanning the Multiple Listing Service like a stalker. You've already had the clear-out garage sale. There's just one last, teensy, tiny detail to take care of: You have to completely make over your house so it looks like a showhome.
Intimidating? Maybe, particularly if you assume your buyer — like you — will look under the kitchen sink, try to pick you out in family photos and investigate every closet, like they're looking for bodies.
But according to Jodi Gilmour, Realtor, decor expert and host of HGTV's For Rent, prepping your house for sale can be done quickly and cheaply.
"Today's buyer wants to be able to find a place that is move-in ready and if they have to paint a room or two, they don't mind having to do that, but they don't want to have to do it. So if you take away the strongly personal taste and neutralize the main areas of the home, you'll get a broader range of buyers and a shorter time on the market."
The first step, she says, is possibly the most brutal. Like the fashion rule of looking at yourself quickly in the mirror, then removing the one accessory that draws too much attention, homeowners have to purge, purge, purge. Clean up bookshelves so they're 40-per-cent books, 20-per-cent decor and 20-per-cent negative space.
"Take away 40 per cent of your stuff in general. Start packing. Buyers want to assume they can grow into the house," she says. "You want your rooms to feel like they have extra space, so take out furniture, pack your fall and winter clothing away. Even edit the cutlery drawers. You can live with eight place settings instead of 18."
And while you're packing up the kitchen, make sure you remove all the half bottles of cleaning products, dubious-looking cloths and the 400 recyclable grocery store bags you store under the kitchen sink. "If someone is serious," she warns, "they'll look under the sink."
Staging the main rooms is also critical to moving your property quickly. You may love your treadmill in the dining room, but that's not really where it should be.
"You stage your house differently for sale than for life," she observes. "Edit anything that gets in the way. The first rule is to use each room as it is purposed for." That may also mean packing away most of your beloved ceramic owl collection, keeping the children's' toys stowed for a few weeks and storing some of your furniture. "The more floor space," she says, "the bigger the room looks."
And while removing personal art such as family photos may create more wall space, it also diminishes the distractions. According to Gilmour, the minute people look at portraits and family pictures, they are no longer engaged in seeing the house as theirs.
"If you have a gallery wall, human beings are naturally going to look at photos, like Facebook." This might also be the moment to ignore your husband's protests and take down the black velvet Elvis oil painting. Ditto nudes and representational art. "You're better off going with abstract pieces. Where there are distractions, people either make a judgment about the house and the life going on in it or they're too distracted."
Finally, painting and cleaning carpets cannot only refresh your house, but make it accessible to the imaginations of potential buyers. While brightly coloured children's bedrooms are generally fine to leave as they are, living areas, bathrooms and the kitchen should be toned down. A coat of paint with a good primer can also neutralize years of cooking and smoke smells.
But whatever else you do, Gilmour suggests starting at the front door and entry to your home. Tidy up the garage and front step, paint the door and ensure the front hall is warm and inviting.
"You can tell a lot about the condition of the home from the layout and condition of the front hall. It's hard enough to get buyers to accept pictures online," she says. "So the front of the house needs to be beautiful. Buyers make the decision about whether or not they want to see the rest of the house from that first 30 seconds in the front door."
House-staging myths
1. A painted ceiling makes a room smaller. "Humans are naturally inclined to see sky blue as further way than a common ceiling colour," she says. In fact, painting ceilings in colours such as Ice Flow (OR-394) or Grey Velvet (OR-491) in Benjamin Moore's new Origins Line at Canadian Tire can make it seem taller.
2. White walls are institutional. "Sure, if you use uncoloured paint right from the can, you'll bounce off the walls," says Gilmour. Instead, try Down Comforter (OR-93) or a citrus white such as Lemon Verbena (OR043).
3. You can only paint when it's 15 C outside. According to Gilmour, Benjamin Moore's exterior Origins was created with a northern climate in mind, so it can be used as low as about 5 C.
4. Buyers will want to paint their own palette when they move in. "Nooooo," she laughs. "Most buyers want to buy a home in move-in condition. A fresh coat of paint in a modern neutral with fresh accent colours makes your space feel up-to-date, clean and ready to move in and enjoy."
5. Once you start painting, you have to paint everywhere. "Paint wall-by-wall as needed. Your high traffic zones could require freshening quite frequently. We are hard on our house," says Gilmour, a mother of two, "so our main entrance from the garage has been painted three times in under five years."

Smyrna Town Council made progress with the proposed police station expansion at their Sept. 4 council meeting by approving the feasibility study completed this spring, but not without a stipulation of how to move forward.
WHAT WE'VE REPORTED For the last several months, Smyrna Town Council has been discussing the latest police station expansion project, which failed in a non-binding referendum 327 to 307 in the April 30 town election.
The $4.9 million proposed building — at roughly 26,000 square feet — would address the current issues with the building on Glenwood Avenue such as space.
Smyrna Town Council held a special council meeting Aug. 28 to address concerns with the proposed building as discussions yielded little progress.
Questions were asked regarding needs of the project versus what aspects could be cut out. Wayde Clendaniel of Fearn Clendaniel Architects — who did the feasibility study along with engineering firm i3a — said only a few things could be cut out of the project for a total of $400,000.
Councilman Jeff Flairty said if the project remains at $4.9 million, the project alone would lead to a 4.22-cent tax increase per $100 of assessed value.
WHAT'S NEW Town Council made progress with the proposed police station expansion at their Sept. 4 council meeting by approving the feasibility study completed this spring, but not without a stipulation of how to move forward.
Councilwoman Regina Brown brought forward three motions to council from the Police Building Committee, the first of which was for approval of the feasibility study that proposed a $4.9 million expansion.
Councilman Jeff Flairty proposed a friendly amendment suggesting council put out Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from other architecture firms not to exceed $3.5 million, excluding contingency fees.
Brown feared downsizing the project would hurt police operations as the study was based on the needs of the department. Chief of Police Wil Bordley said cutting the project budget could result in Smyrna needing another expansion in the near future.
Councilman Bob Johnson agreed with Flairty.
"We should have at least two to three options to look at," Johnson said.
Flairty said there might even be a chance that the results of the RFQ could be that the town couldn't build a police station expansion for $3.5 million but at least the town tried, at no extra cost, to see if the price of the project could be cut down.
Ultimately the amendment was approved 4-3. The motion, including the amendment, to approve the feasibility study with the stipulation was approved 5-2.
A second motion was approved 6-1 that would have the project's construction manager and architect checking in with the town on the status of the project.
"This gives me two entities informing me of how the project is going," Bordley said.
Council also approved a motion 6-1 regarding funding options for the project. Flairty proposed a motion for the town administrators and Finance Committee to put together a financial package by the first council meeting in November describing how the town would fund a $3.5 million project. He also asked for the town to look into creating an impact fee for the police station as other services in town such as water and electric have impact fees.
"I do think a portion should be shouldered by the existing residents," Flairty said. "I also feel a portion should be paid for by future residents, who will have police from the day they move here."
WHAT'S NEXT The Town of Smyrna will not put out a RFQ in hopes of receiving alternative suggestions for what the police station expansion should be. Town Manager Dave Hugg said they should have the RFQ out in about three weeks. He said they should have something back around mid-October.
"One thing we do have is the feasibility study information available so any architectural firm has access to that and doesn't have to spend four to six weeks doing their own research," Hugg said.
Then, the Finance Committee is supposed to have a financial package regarding funding options ready for council to view by the first meeting in November.

Dan Riecks was eating lunch in the cafeteria at Columbine High School when he looked out the window and saw a boy lying on the ground.
He assumed the kid injured himself while skateboarding. Teacher Dave Sanders went outside to investigate. He came running back inside to warn students that someone had a gun.
Riecks, now 30, said living through the Columbine massacre was a life-changing event. It motivated him to become a teacher and work with at-risk children.
Riecks since has earned a teaching degree from Fort Lewis College and works as a truancy clerk at Durango High School. He deals with students who are late or absent from school.
Im basically a glorified security guard at the high school, he said. Im that guy with the walkie-talkie, where if something were to happen, I would be in the loop.
Columbine teacher Sanders pulled the fire alarm and ran into the hall to warn other students. He was the only teacher to be shot and killed April, 20, 1999.
Riecks ran out of the cafeteria and into an elevator. He rode up to the second floor, the doors opened and he saw smoke possibly from gunfire or homemade bombs. He ushered students back into the elevator and rode it down to the first floor, where a janitor directed them into an auditorium.
About 50 students waited in the auditorium. If the gunmen came through one door, the janitor said everyone would leave through another, and vice versa.
The janitor, who had a walkie-talkie, gave the all clear after about 15 minutes and directed students out one of the doors that lead outside.
Riecks went to a friends house to watch the drama unfold on television.
Its still vivid, he said. The adrenaline and the moment it makes it like slow motion. I can still see everything. Its not clear how much time was actually going by, but I pretty much remember every detail from that whole day, and I especially remember the emotion of it.
The shooters killed 12 students, one teacher and injured 21 other students.
The shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold committed suicide.
Riecks didnt know them personally, but he was aware of them and their social clique The Trenchcoat Mafia, which they may or may not have belonged to.
They were infamous for wearing those black trench coats, he said. For the most part, none of them were violent people, whatsoever. But Dylan and Eric stood out.
Like other school shooters, Harris and Klebold were bullied, Riecks said.
Cliques were still a thing at Columbine, he said. Thats one of those things that Ive come to grips with over time. There was bullying. It was part of the reason.
Riecks said he thinks about the shooting nearly every day. The memory can be triggered by a lyric in a song, a passage in a book or simply looking out the window.
Before the shooting, Columbine was a very average place, he said. Afterward, there was a cultural shift that often follows tragic events.
People went out of their ways to be nice to each other, Riecks said. Teachers roamed the hallways during passing hours and tried to be friends with everybody.
There were hugs, high-fives, pats on the back and more one-on-one conversations, he said.
That culture persists today in schools across the nation, he said, but it is important to keep it up, talk to students and give them an outlet to express concerns.
They need to have that place where they can vent, Riecks said. They need to have that friend they can talk to, that teacher who can connect with them and give them something that theyre not getting at home or work or outside school.
DHS and Columbine are similar in size and feel, he said.
If the colors were different, it would feel kind of like walking into Columbine, Riecks said.
Students need to be aware of their own safety, he said.
Guns were an aberration at suburban Columbine Where did these kids get guns? Riecks said. But in Southwest Colorado, where hunting is a sport, kids have far greater access to guns, he said.
He knows of few, if any, teachers who want to carry concealed weapons at school.
When I hear arguments like arming teachers, I can only laugh so much as it will make me cry because it is so absurd that people who aim to nurture would be asked to kill, he said. You ask any teacher, Would you rather be a shield than a sword?, and theyll all say shield.
Columbine had a school resource officer. He exchanged gunfire with the shooters, but it didnt stop them.
One man was not enough against two heavily armed teenagers, Riecks said.
Riecks wonders if the nation is asking the right questions. He wonders if the debate should be focused more on mental health than gun control.
School safety begins and ends with the kids, he said. You can tell something is wrong, and the hardest part is knowing what to do with that.
