Retired Hampshire Farmer To Be Buried Saturday.
Deceased Instrumental In Organization Of Banks.
Melchior Christian Getzelman, aged 89, retired farmer and Civil War veteran, died at Sherman hospital at 2 o'clock this morning, following a ten days' illness.
Mr. Getzelman was widely known in this vicinity as not only a farmer but developer as well. He was instrumental in the organization of three Kane and McHenry county banks and was one of the organizers of the Elgin National Bank, serving on the board of directors for a number of years. At one time, he was president of both the St. Charles National Bank and the Bank of Algonquin, holding these positions until his retirement from active business.
Influences Railroad
One of the outstanding marks in his career was the interest he took in the development of the old Chicago and Pacific railroad, now the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. At that time, Mr. Getzelman spent time and money in influencing the railroad to extend its line from Elgin to Savannah.
The deceased was born in Oberaltertheir, Germany, on January 1, 1837, the son of John and Anna Getzelman. He came to this country when 11 years old, settling at Hampshire. He lived in Hampshire until 1890, when he moved to Elgin, residing here ever since.
As a Civil War veteran, Mr. Getzelman enlisted in Elgin in Company K, 52nd Illinois Volunteers, in 1861, and served under General Sherman in Sherman's March to the Sea. He also fought in the battles of Shiloh and Lookout Mountain, serving in the war until peace had been declared.
Four Children Survive
He is survived by his widow, Hulda Getzelman, and four children, Mrs. Emma Ream of Hampshire, Mrs. Lillie G. Schmidt of St. Charles, Theodore Getzelman of Bradley, Calif., and Benjamin G. Getzelman of Elgin. Thirteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren also survive.
Mr. Getzelman was preceded in death by his wife, Mrs. Ernestine Rudolph Getzelman, eighteen years ago, and two children, who died in infancy.
He was a devoted and active member of the First Evangelical church of Elgin and a regular attendant.
Funeral services will be held at the late residence, 731 Highland avenue, at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The home services will be private. Church services at the First Evangelical church will be held at 2'30 o'clock. Interment at Bluff City cemetery.

"Thomas Gibbons Dead; Pioneer Traveling Man,"
The Elgin Daily News, January 9, 1912, p. 1.
Prominent Lodgeman, and Early Surveyor, Dies in Elgin.
Thomas Gibbons, veteran board of trade member, for 57 years a Mason and one of the oldest commercial travelers, died at his home, 625 Spring street, 12 o'clock last night. He was stricken at Thorpe, Wis., while on the road. He was 79 years of age.
As one of the most popular of Elgin men, and well liked by all, he is remembered for his extensive social, lodge, and church activities which gained for him prominence.
He was born in Fayette county, Pa., June 27, 1832, and received the educational and cultural advantages of the eastern schools, in which he studied civil engineering. At the age of 26, with a surveying party, he penetrated the remote and unsettled west, traveling through New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, at that time barren wilderness.
As early as 1861, he enrolled in the first regiment of Colorado cavalry, and served until the expiration of his term in 1864, when he returned east settling in McHenry, Illinois.
He was married to Miss Mary Watson of Turner's Junction, and before going on the road, was employed for a short time by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad as conductor. For thirteen years he was a commercial traveler for the Hauten, Walton company of New York and for fourteen years for the Elgin Butter Tub company, with which he was connected at the time of his death.
He is survived by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Pearl I. Watson of Toledo, Ohio, and a son, Edward C. Gibbons of Elgin. The funeral will be held 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home, 625 Spring street, in charge of Monitor lodge, which will assemble at the temple at 1 o'clock.

S.J. Gifford
"S.J. Gifford, Civil War Drummer Boy and Son of Elgin Founder, Dead at 85,"
The Elgin Courier-News, March 25, 1935, pp. 1, 3.
Samuel Judson Gifford, 85 years old, one of the best known of the pioneer residents of the city and the son of a pioneer, died at 3:30 this morning at his residence, 909 Highland ave. He had been fairly active up to a few weeks ago, and had been ill with pneumonia for two weeks, a disease from which he had practically recovered. It had left him in a greatly weakened condition, however, and death came as an aftermath.
Mr. Gifford was widely known throughout the city and in northern Illinois. In earlier years he was engaged in the newspaper business, having been associated, years ago, with the late J.K. LeBaron on the old weekly, "Every Saturday". He had also served as special correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. In earlier years also he had served on the old Elgin Daily Courier, and the Elgin Daily News. He had, in fact, been engaged in the newspaper business during all of his active life, up to the time of his retirement at the age of 60.
Mr. Gifford was born in Grafton, Washington county, Wisconsin, on Sept. 4, 1849, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah Gifford, the father, with his brother, James T. Gifford, having founded Elgin in April, 1835. Samuel was brought to Elgin when a baby, and had resided in this city all of his life.
His father, Hezekiah, first visited the site of Elgin in the spring of 1834, before the arrival of his brother, James T. Gifford. Hezekiah then returned east to get his brother, and the two returned April 3, 1835 to the site which was to become the city of Elgin.
Samuel received his education in the public schools of the city, and at the Elgin Academy. He enlisted in the Civil war when he was 14 1/2 years old, as a drummer boy in Co. C of the 153rd Illinois Infantry. He was then known as one of the youngest drummer boys in the war. Twice his father went to the front to bring the boy back to Elgin, and twice the boy managed to rejoin his regiment. The elder Gifford went for the boy a third time, but upon this occasion relented and permitted Samuel to remain in the army. Young Gifford saw action at the battles at Signal and Lookout mountains, in Tennesee and elsewhere in the border states. Fortunately he escaped injury. He served from Feb. 15, 1864 to Sept. 21, 1865, when he was mustered out of service.
Mr. Gifford joined Elgin post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was the youngest G.A.R. member here, as well as one of the youngest in the country. He was known in early years as the "baby G.A.R. member". He was a member of the organization for 48 years, and had served as post commander, and as adjutant.
Mr. Gifford was married in Elgin on Nov. 28, 1872 to Miss Clara Kate Cornell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.K.W. Cornell of this city. He and his wife were among the oldest members of the First Baptist church, which was founded by Hezekiah Gifford.
Surviving him besides the widow are a son, Harry N. Gifford, 820 Douglas ave, a daughter, Mrs. Edna Gifford McBride, 332 Vincent pl., and two grandchildren, Harry N. Gifford, jr. and Henry Gifford McBride of Elgin. A son, Stanley Cornell Gifford, died at the age of 3 years, and a daughter, Mary Ella Gifford, died at the age of 4.
Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the late home, Dr. Sidney W. Powell, pastor of the First Baptist church, to officiate. Burial will be in Bluff City cemetery.

"After a Long Illness,"

Otto Gronberg Passes Away This Morning, Aged 47 Years.
Otto Herman Gronberg died this morning at his residence, 492 South State street, after a sickness of several years. Deceased was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1845 but had passed the best portion of his life in this country. For many years he was a resident of Elgin, for a long time being the engineer at the insane asylum where he made the reputation of a faithful and up right man. He served in the army in the 52nd Illinois infantry. His disease was a complication of maladies and it is a miracle to his physicians that he has held out this long. An autopsy by five physicians this morning revealed a morbid growth, several inches in size of a leathery substance, attached to the inner walls of the stomach. Mr. Gronbert leaves a family of a wife and five children. His funeral will be held Monday at 1:30 p.m. from the house and at 2 from the First Congregational church.
Freeman Grow
Freeman Grow
"Old Settler Drops Dead,"
The Elgin Daily News, December 20, 1906, p. 1.
Exertion of Chopping Down Big Tree Too Much.
Freeman Grow, the Udina blacksmith, and one of the earliest and best known settlers of this section of the county, dropped dead at his home at Udina between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning. His death was due to heart disease, from which he had suffered for three or four years following a severe attack of pneumonia, but he had been in good health up to this morning and his death was a complete surprise to his friends.
This morning Mr. Grow was working about the yard, and while in the house for a few minutes told his wife he intended to cut down a big tree that stood in the back yard. He took his axe and attacked the tree. His wife, who stood at the window watching him, saw him suddenly drop the axe and fall to the ground. She rushed to his side, but he never spoke and was probably dead before she reached him.
Mrs. Grow went to the school house nearby and the teacher came over and assisted her to carry the lifeless form of Mr. Grow into the house. Dr. McCornack and the relatives were summoned at once, but when the doctor arrived he said Mr. Grow had died instantly, the exertion of cutting down the tree having proved too much for his weakend heart. He was in Elgin Tuesday and took dinner at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George E. Daniels, and visited with many of his friends here.
Mr. Grow was born in Pennsylvania about 77 years ago, but came to Illinois over fifty years ago and settled at Udina. He was by trade a blacksmith, and opened a shop at Udina which was one of the first in the county and which was patronized by the residents of this section almost exclusively for many years. He continued at his trade of a blacksmith till about two years ago, when he gave it up on account of his extreme age.
Besides a wife, he leaves four daughters, Mrs. George E. Daniels and Mrs. Dan Brown, of Elgin, and Mrs. Cora Lathrop and Mrs. Will Tazewell, who reside on farms near Udina. He was a member of the G.A.R.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed and the notice will be published later.

- Rasmus Dahlin, D
What's to say about Rasmus Dahlin that hasn't already been said? I don't like having NHL comparables for potential because it sets unreasonable expectations but Karlsson's name has been thrown around a lot for both style and potential. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that he is an eventual Norris candidate.
- Andrei Svechnikov, R
Best forward in the draft, can use his large frame to muscle his way through traffic to put the puck in the back of the net. Great offensive zone IQ like his brother, but his speed and net front presence is what separates him from others, especially at this age.
- Adam Boqvist, D
Probably one of the safest picks of the draft, like his fellow countryman Dahlin, Boqvist is a good puck moving defenseman but can also play a sturdy, grinding, defensive game. He's a fast thinker that proves well for both his offensive and defensive play.
- Brady Tkachuk, L
Makes his brother look like a Lady Byng candidate, Brady plays with a big edge and isn't afraid to throw around his 6'3" and 200 lb frame. Solid both in both ends of the ice and enjoys to get into the corners and fight for the puck. Definition of a power forward.
- Filip Zadina, R
Has been seamlessly adjusting to North American style of play. Has both smooth skating and good playmaking ability that he uses to win games. Has a great feel to the game and has been doing well this season with the Mooseheads.

The Cowboys have re-signed running back Lance Dunbar and punter Chris Jones to one-year contracts worth $1.5 million. Both were restricted free agents.
Dunbar worked his way into a change-of-pace role out of the Dallas backfield as an undrafted free agent out of North Texas three years ago. He had 362 all-purpose yards last season, topped by 217 yards receiving.
The 25-year-old Dunbar has a chance for an expanded role with NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray's departure to Philadelphia in free agency.
Jones has been with the Cowboys four seasons, the past two as the full-time punter. He had a career-best 45.4-yard average last season. His career net average is 39.5 yards.
Dunbar and Jones were the last of Dallas' restricted free agents.

Retired Navy Master Chief and Troops to Teachers (TTT) participant and mentor, Dennis Bye never envisioned a future in education. After tours onboard the USS Independence and with Patrol Wing FIVE, Bye pursued his bachelor's degree in business studies, thinking that it would be useful when he eventually retired, which he did in 2002 after 27 years of Service. Though Bye enjoyed his position with the Military Entrance Processing Station, the call to serve as an educator became too strong to ignore. After offering his resignation, Bye secured a position as a teaching assistant at his local school district while taking education courses at night. He then embarked on an eight year journey toward his goal of becoming a school administrator, eventually obtaining a master's degree in educational administration and his New York state certification.
After successful appointments at various schools in New York's Capital Region, he was hired as Gloversville High School's new Associate Principal in July 2013. Bye credits his motivation with the indelible impact a school administrator made on him when he was struggling with disciplinary issues in high school.
"I had it in my head that I wanted to be like the Assistant Principal that saved me from being expelled," Bye said.
In his new role at Gloversville, Bye will be charged with improving the high school's dropout rate—one of the highest in the Albany area. With an impressive track record, including reducing the suspension rate at Troy School 2, Gloversville's administration has commended Bye's approach to discipline. "He has the management skills and attention to detail to help the high school—and entire district—achieve its goals," stated Superintendent Michael Vanyo.
Bye has also been praised for his ability to empathize with at-risk students and the environmental factors presenting a barrier to their education. These accolades come as no surprise to the TTT organization. Like his fellow TTT participants, Bye possesses the discipline, experience with diversity, and leadership skills that differentiate him from civilian educators. With 17,000 participants who have successfully transitioned to teaching through the program, TTT continues to make a positive impact on classrooms around the country. Bye advises, "Nobody else decides your future but you; decide on your goal, and go get it." Drawing from a career marked by perseverance, Bye notes that this advice is just as valuable to veterans who are just beginning their transition to teaching.

Andrew Morgan, Partner
Andrew Morgan is a partner in our asbestos and personal injury departments.
With more than 20 years experience, Andrew's claims cover many areas, including:
What the leading legal directories say about Andrew
Chambers 2019 says
Andrew Morgan is deeply experienced in representing clients with mesothelioma. He is also adept at advising on work-related accidents and other diseases. Sources describe him as "very experienced and very knowledgeable with fantastic attention to detail," adding: "He doesn't shy away from the difficult cases."
Legal 500 2018 says
Andrew is an "'exceptional lawyer'" with "'excellent client-handling skills'".
Legal 500 2017 says
Andrew is "'a highly skilled lawyer who puts a great deal of time and effort into cases' and is experienced in claims involving industrial disease and workplace accidents."
Chambers 2017 says
"Andrew Morgan possesses a wealth of experience in occupational injury and industrial disease work. One satisfied client reports: 'He was excellent. I don't know what I would have done without him,' while another appreciates that 'he's very on the ball and supportive, and seems genuinely concerned to get a good result for his clients.'"
Chambers 2016 says
Clients praise Andrew Morgan for his "excellent client service" and his "tremendous sympathy." Over the last 20 years he has acted on numerous high-value mesothelioma claims.
Legal 500, 2015 says
Andrew Morgan who "is an experienced and talented solicitor – superb with clients and respected by opponents".

Recent Work
- Recently, Andrew recovered a substantial amount for Caroline Wilcock in a groundbreaking case against Cape Asbestos. The case settled less than a week before trial. Andrew extended the Court of Appeal authority of Chandler v Cape PLC to argue that Cape owed a duty of care to the neighbours of its subsidiary company, Universal Asbestos Manufacturing (UAM), that operated the factory. This breakthrough analysis meant that Caroline was the first to recover compensation in a claim against UAM for the exposure it caused to people living near the factory, in Bowburn, County Durham. UAM is now known as Plumefern PLC.
- Andrew successfully concluded another substantial claim against a teaching hospital brought following exposure to asbestos as a student or newly qualified doctor or dentist. This claim settled less than one month before trial. Such claims involve brief and light exposure to asbestos many years ago, either in tunnels or basements or when working with dental materials that contained asbestos. They tend to be high value claims because of the high income of medical and dental professionals.
- Andrew acted for a man who was exposed to asbestos when working for Cork Insulations in 1945, just at the end of the War. From our database, Andrew was able to identify the company insurers and settled the claim within 7 weeks of seeing the client.
- Andrew has had three notable recent lung cancer successes, obtaining compensation for Mr Kent who never worked with asbestos but who was exposed by others who were working with asbestos nearby; for the widow of a man who worked with twenty different lagging firms only half of whom were insured; and for the widow of a man who worked for British Belting Asbestos (BBA).
- In current cases, Andrew has obtained admissions or judgment for a number of clients, including the family of a gentleman who was exposed to asbestos when working for Courage Limited (the brewers) in the 1950s - the client was able to prove his employment by producing a "loving cup" given by Courage to all its employees to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth; a woman who developed mesothelioma after washing her husband's overalls; a former apprentice at J Jeffreys and Co of Waterloo, London, a small lagging and insulating firm whose insurers could not be traced; two scaffolders, working for different companies in the 1970s - their scaffolding boards were contaminated with asbestos when they were used by others to gain access to plant and pipework to remove old asbestos lagging.
International Litigation
Andrew has substantial experience in international disease and accident claims. He is presently acting for a number of overseas clients and has previously recovered almost £750,000 for a UK Citizen, resident and working in Florida, who developed mesothelioma following asbestos exposure as an apprentice in Yorkshire; compensation in England for a Canadian widow, 60 years after her Husband's exposure in Scotland; and a substantial settlement for Michael Langton who was very seriously injured in a work accident at the south Pole.
In other recent cases Andrew recovered:
- £155,000 for a client exposed to asbestos making fume cupboards at Berger Paints;
- £172,000 for a client who removed asbestos fireplace linings at Hays Wharf in the 1960s;
- £350,000 for a former client who previously settled his case for provisional damages but who sadly later developed mesothelioma
- £125,000 for the widow of a man who worked for a small building company in Hastings;
- £128,000 for Frederick Hickman, a lagger from Welling, Kent
- £150,000 for a steel worker from Cwmbran in Gwent
- £197,000 for the widow of a man who worked as a handyman at Gloy Adhesives
- £200,000 for the widow of a man who worked for British Rail;

During the Depression and War years, between 1930 and 1955, the Romantic tradition in Britain underwent an extraordinary Renaissance. A distinctive style arose embracing an otherwise diverse group of artists - the British landscape became central to a new nostalgic pastoral vision which was broadly expressed through the language of Cubism - sometime adopted with intellectual and sometimes more decorative aims.
Britishneoromanticism.com celebrates the movement by presenting work by some of the best known figures - Bawden, Minton, Piper, Ravilious, Spencer, Tunnard, Jones, alongside some of its lesser known unsung heroes such as Kenneth Rowntree, Charles Mahoney, John Bolam, Roy Turner Durrant, Humphry Spender, Harold Hitchcock, and Kathleen Guthrie.

Probate & Estate Planning

I am here to help you
Contact me for a case evaluation.
To get started, the probate process occurs with or without the presence of a will. When a will is created, it is set up by an individual before their time of death. Once they have passed away, the individual is then referred to as the decedent, in which they have died 'testate.' Testate just means that the decedent died with a will already in place. Without a will in place, the decedent dies 'intestate.' It is important to start the probate process between one to three weeks after the death of the decedent.
Virginia laws state that the Virginia Circuit Court is responsible for delegating the probate process. This process begins when a court date is set up; however, it is not always required to do so. When in court, two distinct documents are presented to the clerks of the court by the 'interested party,' usually the appointed executor in the will. These documents include the original copy of the will, if there is one, as well as the official death certificate of the decedent. Once the clerk is able to authorize that the will is the authentic copy, the probate process can continue. Without a will, the process is allowed to continue as long as the original death certificate is provided. To understand your options in the matter, a Manassas probate lawyer can help you get started.
Having the authentic will of the decedent, the clerk is then able to appoint the executor. The executor is defined as the individual in charge of delegating the property and affairs of the decedent, as stated in the will. Without a will present, the court then appoints someone to take over the role as the executor. They are held responsible for overseeing any debts as well as determining the value of the estate. This information is used for tax purposes. The appointed individual is also in charge of the estate in regards to distributing it out or selling it. Taxes and debts must also be accounted for and paid off.
Within four months of the decedent passing, the executor must file an 'inventory' to the Commissioner of Accounts. The COA is there to oversee that the assets and estate of the decedent are handled accurately. After 16 months, the executor is then responsible for filing the 'accounting,' which includes the beneficiaries stated in the will as well as the assets that were distributed to them. Lastly, the income tax return of the estate and the final tax return must be filed. Whether you are the individual setting up a will, the appointed executor, or an individual looking for more information, I would be happy to assist you in the process!

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers options available to individuals living in the Winfield area. You will need to understand each of the varieties of rehab choices that are available in Winfield, AB., in order to pick the ideal treatment approach for yourself or a family member. Selecting the proper drug treatment facility in Winfield is the central element in the process of treating of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will help you recognize your various rehabilitation possibilities allowing an individual to have the maximum probability of an ideal final result.
Let's have a look at the many drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Winfield, Alabama options that coincide with the condition of the individual looking for rehabilitation.
Inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Winfield, AB. is a treatment option ideal for many who require medical intervention in the course of rehab or clients with substantial substance abuse histories. Men and women can develop both mental and physical dependence to drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Winfield is considered the best rehab option in the majority of cases. Due to substance abuse and addiction, men and women will most likely struggle to recover with the limited services made available from outpatient rehab programs in Winfield, Alabama where drugs and alcohol are still readily available when they depart the outpatient center. In addition, men and women in rehabilitation who receive outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Winfield remain vulnerable to negative relationships and situations which can cut across their process of recovery. If a person lives with an abusive partner or maintains associations which involve drug abuse, any treatment activities in outpatient treatment are done in vain. That is why in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Winfield, AB. is going to produce more fruitful outcomes that may prove long lasting contrary to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility where benefits are often very minimal and short-lived.
In Winfield there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug treatment. Short-term is often a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug rehab in Winfield, Alabama is a lot more intensive and rehab lasts 3 to 6 months on average. It is really an ideal setting for clients as it is a safe and secure drug-free setting where they're able to recover both physically and mentally without distraction. Preferably, men and women proceed in a long-term in-patient drug rehab program in Winfield for the optimum time frame allowed, in order to handle anything that might cut across their sobriety after they depart rehabilitation. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can take a couple weeks alone, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug treatment in Winfield will be time spent well and significantly more efficient than short-term centers.
The most important factor of all if you or a loved one is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of skilled addiction specialists and have an assessment and treatment options to ensure the biggest chance for a recovery.

Playing in the Fort Lauderdale Regional KO, you're in a 3-way match with two survivors (all three teams are world-class). You face the following problem. With no one vulnerable yourRHO opens a strong club and you bid 1♦, takeout for the majors, holding ♠J10xxx♥Axxx♦J ♣Axx. Partner does not alert 1♦. The auction continues:
2♦ is alerted and explained as an artificial GF, balanced, 8+ HCP, no 5-card suit, says nothing about diamonds, or diamond stoppers. RHO asks about the meaning of 1♦ and your partner says "Natural." RHO doubles,you ask, and are told that it's a penalty double.
Can you bid?
You bid 3♠, which is doubled. Before the opening lead you volunteer the information that you had intended 1♦ as takeout for majors. The director is called at this point, and establishes the facts, to which everyone courteously agrees. The director does not establish the meaning of 3♦ facing a 1♦ takeout for majors (perhaps because your partnership appears not to have an agreement about 1♦).
You are one off in 3♠. There is no makeable contract in the other direction. The director is called back to the table to discuss whether you were permitted tobid 3♠ under the circumstances, since you had some unauthorized information (partner's failure to alert 1♦, and partner's explanation of your 1♦ call.) 3♦ would have failed by several tricks (probably 4 down). The director does not make a ruling until after the match, and it turns out not to matter. You win the match by a small margin, but your opponents have survived anyway, and your team has has also survived to play the following day. No harm done?
Switch positions now. I was the opponent who opened 1♣ and called the director when I learned that 1♦ was not a natural call. The director never returned to the table. We scored up and survived to play the next match, so I wasn't too concerned. But, out of curiosity, I asked the director if he had ever made a ruling. He had: The result stands because, in his own partnerships, 3♦ would ask for the better major. It seemed a curious ruling to me, given that diamonds had never been bid (thus, 3♦ is not a cue-bid). And the opponents did not indicate that they had any such agreement. But I was glad we didn't have to appeal to a committee - a solution to be avoided at all costs!
I was heading for the bar when I heard that the third team had gone out by 1 IMP, and the alarm bells went off. If the director had ruled in our favor, as I believe he should have, then the result of the match would have changed. We would still survive, of course, but the other teams would switch places. I felt I needed to discuss this with the director. It seemed to me that we had an ethical obligation to appeal, particularly since I felt that we would probably prevail.
I asked and was told by the DIC that it would be wrong to appeal because the result would not affect our team. I pursued the conversation, asking if this was a matter of law. His reply was, "If your team is not affected, don't appeal." He didn't really answer my question, but I went away to discuss it with my teammates, all of whom felt that we probably had an obligation to appeal. We weren't feeling at all comfortable and were considering how to proceed when we learned that there was an appeal in the other match which could potentially change the outcome, resulting in the third team qualifying after all. So we did nothing for the moment, hoping that our "appeal" would not be relevant. It turned out that it wasn't. Within a half-hour after game time the result in the other match had been reversed and equity was restored. The third team qualified after all. So we dropped the matter.
But it still doesn't sit well with me. Are we really not supposed to appeal a result that affects other teams, when our own team is unaffected?

In March, the Nevada Legislature was abuzz over a constitutional amendment. Not that long ago, SJR 13 would have been unthinkable. But now, Nevada is on the path to marriage equality.
This and other recent civil rights advances were on everyone's mind at this year's Las Vegas PRIDE. There was plenty to celebrate this past weekend in Downtown Las Vegas. And there was plenty to reflect on. While the overall vibe of the Friday night parade was quite fun and lighthearted, there was a more serious moment.
Assembly Member James Healey (D-Enterprise) and State Senator David Parks (D-Paradise) briefly talked about what's at stake, especially in regards to marriage equality. They drove in the parade, along with Culinary 226, PLAN, ProgressNow Nevada, Rep. Steven Horsford (D-North Las Vegas), Rep. Dina Titus, and HRC Las Vegas. And they drove alongside floats for casinos, bars/nightclubs, religious groups, social groups, and much more.
The fun continued the next day at the PRIDE Festival at the Clark County Government Center... Along with plenty of good work. Representatives from Senator Harry Reid's (D) Las Vegas office came by to talk with festival goers. The Clark County Democratic Party and Southern Nevada Stonewall were registering voters at their table, while the PLAN crew were doing the same at their table. Oh, and Rep. Horsford even came by to say hi to festival goers.
Senator Parks and Assembly Member Healey later had a chance to speak again at the festival. They were joined by Assembly Member Lucy Flores (D-North Las Vegas), who shared what PRIDE means to her.
Throughout the weekend, folks were reminded of the meaning of PRIDE. After many years of struggles for acceptance, the seeds of equality are finally sprouting. In just the past four years, Nevada has seen progress on relationship recognition, hate crimes, employment discrimination, and more. Half of Nevada's Congressional Delegation (guess who...) now support full LGBTQ civil rights. And now, Nevada is finally on the road to marriage equality.
And of course, the festival had plenty of fabulous live entertainment. After all, this was a celebration. After many years of shame, Nevada's LGBTQ community can finally begin to reap the rewards of PRIDE.

Our Story
A person who is unwell can feel lost, alone and confused. It's difficult to know where to turn to for help. Fighting an illness is difficult enough. Navigating the health care system should not be an added burden.
That's where we come in to help.
Ohr Lanu was born out of the Jewish belief that our people are One and as One we are all responsible for one another's well being. As one big family, the Jewish community must see to it that no one member who falls ill feels neglected or left behind. Ohr Lanu hopes to bring all of the Jewish people together in their care for one another; and we hope to inspire other communities to do the same. The current public health care system is inadequate to say the least. Thus community members must not lay back and rely on the government to take care of its own people. Each community must make its own proactive effort to ensure that no one single individual who happens to fall ill is ever left behind. It is with this ambitious goal in mind that we launch Ohr Lanu; that it should be as the Jewish menorah and become a shining light for all the people to see.
Ohr Lanu Foundation's mission is to facilitate and enhance medical care for the Jewish community of San Antonio. Volunteer services provided through Ohr Lanu are intended to supplement and strengthen the individual's own capabilities and resources. Our scope of services includes patient advocacy, physician referral, ancillary and financial aid.
Ohr Lanu has a Governing Board of three members, one of whom is a physician who serves as its Medical Director.

Authority appoints officers, tempers flare
Posted by

Thursday, May 16. 2013
Comments (4)
Tempers flared at the Monday, May 13, 2013 meeting of the Dodge County/Eastman Development Authority after chairman Jack Burnham called the meeting to order. After the invocation, board member John Jessup made a motion that the meeting agenda be changed to include election of officers for 2013.
Chairman Burnham stated that he would entertain the motion provided that Jessup and board member Butch Kirkley not be allowed to vote. Jessup asked why and Burnham said that the two members had a conflict of interest due to the fact that they were employed by banks and there was pending litigation with the three banks in Eastman.
Jessup stated that there was no pending litigation before the (Dodge County/Eastman Development Authority) board.
After some heated discussion, including new board member Buddy Pittman stating that Burnham, also being a member of the airport authority board had a conflict of interest, Jessup made the motion that board member Butch Kirkley be elected chairman pro tem. Burnham objected saying there was a conflict of interest. The motion was seconded and members Jessup, Kirkley, Pittman and Brian Watkins voted in favor and board members Burnham, H. Peacock and Terry Coleman did not vote.
At that point, Kirkley took control of the meeting over objections from Burnham and called for a motion for election of officers. Jessup made the motion, seconded by Pittman and the vote was once again four in favor and three not voting.
Jessup then made the motion that Butch Kirkley be made chairman and it was seconded, with a protest from Burnham, and the motion passed, once again, four in favor and three not voting.
Pittman then made the motion that Jessup be made vice chairman, seconded by Watkins and passed four in favor and three not voting.
Kirkley then continued the meeting and followed the agenda, with all members discussing items on the agenda.
Later in the meeting, Jessup made the motion to appoint two new members to the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority, namely Butch Kirkley and Phil Bearden. Under protest from Burnham, the motion was seconded and was passed, once again, four in favor and Burnham and Peacock voting no and Coleman abstaining. Kirkley and Bearden will replace airport authority chairman Eddie Driggers and member Jack Burnham.
Kirkley noted that the appointments would take effect immediately.
After hearing several comments from the audience of approximately 30 citizens, the meeting was adjourned.

It seems to me there is a real simple solution to this problem. If there is such a conflict of interest in every person, Board member, or issue; why not get rid of all the old timers on this and other Boards and get some citizens that actually represent what Dodge County wants now as opposed to 40 years ago. I'm sure all these gentlemen were fine upstanding men back in their day but do they honestly think they represent the majority of the Dodge County citizens? No one cares who can play politics anymore! Do something positive for Dodge County for a change! Get over yourself from back in the day and let someone with a working knowledge of this community represent the real people of this fine county.

I totally agree! Whoever has authority over this Board, be it the voters of Dodge Co or Gov Deal, somebody needs to remove all members and let new members be elected or appointed. What a dang mess!

Looks like Coleman left his boy Jack hanging!

I do believe it's good to have bank affiliated members on these boards. It makes for a more open line of communication when it comes time to generate capital when needed. However, Dodge County is so shell-shocked by the political gamesmanship that has occurred for decades that any resemblance of corruption or conflicts of interest are met with a heavy handed response. Butch is a good fit for the Airport Authority board but the Development Authority jumped the gun on appointing him. This lawsuit either needs to run it's course or a Airport Authority board free of any bank related confections needs to dismiss its lawsuit. But I understand that the Development Authorities much needed rebellion has left them a little shorthanded. So I will pray for Butch because of no fault of his own he shall become the focal point of contention now.

AS 21-year-old Roy Bramwell stood on the decks of the Royal Navy warship watching the explosions 15 miles away in the Pacific he knew something was wrong.
While the mushroom clouds billowed, just off the north west coast of Australia, Roy covered his face with his hands.
It was then he noticed the perfect outline of his skeleton through his skin.
In 1958 Roy, from Runcorn, who is now 65, was one of the servicemen to be exposed to the fall-out of the British nuclear tests, off the Monte Bello Islands, between 1952 and 1967.
Today he suffers persistent health problems which he claims are a direct result of his exposure.
"I can remember watching those tests as if it was yesterday.
"There were quite a few of us standing there watching. It was a big event, but we had no protective clothing. We were all just wearing our normal uniforms.
"We were about 15 miles from where they dropped the bombs and I remember putting my hands to my eyes and I could see the bones thought the skin.
"I remember thinking that it wasn't right and telling some of the other lads and they had all experienced the same thing.
"The problem was we had no idea what watching those tests was doing to our health."
Forty years after Roy's exposure he began to suffer bizarre symptoms.
"One day I just noticed that the skin on my legs was strangely red and then over the next few weeks it began to peel off.
"From my knee to my ankle the skin was just peeling away and doctors told me it was most likely due to my exposure to radiation.
"After I had returned from Australia my wife suffered two unexpected miscarriages ? one was of twins.
"And both my sons spent a lot of time in hospital after they were born suffering from health problems.
"My grandson now has very serious asthma and has also had to have grommets in his ears. I can't help but believe that it is the radiation that has done this.
"What scares me more is that the radiation lies dormant in the system for around 40 years, so what do my ancestors have to look forward to?"
The British Nuclear Tests Veterans Association was marching on the Ministry of Defence in London today, demanding pensions for the nuclear veterans.
A spokesman for the association said: "On October 3 1952 at the Monte Bello Island, off the north west coast of Australia, Britain exploded its first atom bomb.
"This meant that Britain was now a nuclear power alongside the USA and then USSR.
"When Margaret Thatcher was our prime minister in 1992 she stated that this action had 'kept the peace for 40 years'. It is now 50 years and we are fortunate to still have that 'peace'.
"However, the men who made this possible by taking part in the Nuclear Test Programme do not have peace.
"They are suffering or have already died, from illnesses that we firmly believe were caused by their involvement in the nuclear arms race.
"When we were used in the experimental nuclear weapons test programme in the 1950s, in our innocence we trusted our country to guard our safety; sadly we now know our trust was misplaced."
The legacy>
BETWEEN 1952 and 1967 the UK carried out a number of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons, involving more than 20,000 servicemen.
Among these tests were the Grapple Y and Grapple Z series of six detonations at Christmas Island, in the Pacific Ocean.
The weapons detonated were many times more powerful than those discharged at Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Of 2,500 servicemen surveyed in 1999, 30% had died in their 50s. In their grandchildren spina bifida rates are more than five times the usual. More than 200 skeletal abnormalities were reported and more than 100 veterans admit to having reproductive difficulties.

Thames Wedding Fairs
Wedding Fairs On The Thames
Planning a wedding can be seem pretty overwhelming when you think of the many things you have to organise. If you have no idea where to begin, attending a wedding fair is a good starting point. Spring is the most popular time for wedding fairs so now is the time to get organised.
What's Involved?
Wedding fairs are the perfect events for picking up ideas and inspiration for all aspects of your wedding: from invitations, venues, menus and decorations to wedding themes.
A wedding fair gives you a chance to meet suppliers and sample products. Whether you want a traditional, modern or whacky themed wedding, you will be sure to pick up some useful information and contacts. Exhibitors get the chance to sell their products and services, network and promote their business.
However, wedding fairs themselves can be pretty overwhelming, so here's a few tips to getting the most out of the experience and enjoying your day.
The national shows can be pretty overwhelming so aim to attend a smaller show that is local to you or near your chosen wedding location. If you are planning a Thames-side wedding, choose a wedding fair in the London or Surrey areas.
Choose a companion who is happy to go with you. If hubby-to-be is reluctant, then leave him at home for the day and make it a girls' day out with your best buddies.
Be aware of your wedding budget. Be realistic about what you can and can't afford.
Have a few ideas in mind before you attend but try to be flexible and open to different suggestions.
If you like a supplier don't forget to get their details, especially a website address.
Don't feel pressured into signing up for things. Wedding fairs are for collecting information, inspiration and ideas; they are not a big sell.
Don't panic! If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and more confused than before you started, take some time out, relax, sip on a glass of bubbly and enjoy your day!
If you are planning a River Thames wedding then come along to the Ravens Ait Island Wedding Show. Ravens Ait is a private island situated on the River Thames with stunning views of Hampton Court Palace and grounds.
Our wedding packages can transform your wedding into a truly unique and magical event. Our wedding show offers a wonderful day out with food, fizz and many special offers!
You can meet our dedicated wedding planners and our favourite suppliers. For more information contact us on 0208 339 6960.

If you've got the power sockets handy then set-up is truly a breeze. As well as the two fronts, two rears and the centre speaker, you get a Control Centre with a cool clear blue LCD display. It has a dial for volume, a power switch that glows red when on standby and blue when on, and five other buttons. You hook this up to the sub-woofer, and the front and centre speakers via spring clips. The wireless rears are labelled specifically Right and Left – as each receives its own directional information.
The sub-woofer is quite huge with a large port in the side and heat fins at the rear. The front is emblazoned with the Logitech logo and the famous THX badge. Once upon a time the THX badge would only be found on equipment costing thousands of pounds and it does seem to have been watered down somewhat to appear on something that's relatively bargain basement. However, it's still an indicator that this is a good set of speakers.
Each speaker is set on a fixed stand except for the wide format centre speaker, which can tilt up and down so you can place it either above or below your TV and aim the sound. Each speaker is held on its stand by a screw and if you remove this you can swizzle the speaker round and wall mount them, which is a great option. Logitech doesn't appear to offer matching tall stands however, which is a shame.
The rear of the control console has a good range of connectivity, with two Optical inputs and one Coaxial. This means you could have say, a Sky+, a games console and a DVD player all hooked up digitally at the same time. There are also three analogue 3.5mm inputs. A switch on the rear enables this to be configured as three separate stereo inputs or as a single 6-channel direct input from a PC sound card.
The supplied remote is functional and not too bad looking. Each option is easily accessible including the useful test button. It could be improved by having a backlight but even in the dark the buttons can be identified in the dark if you remember the arrangement.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

4th of July
I finally did it! After eleven long years, I finally attended a fireworks display with my kids! Guess what?! I survived not only the fireworks, but navigating the crowds with three little ones…by myself!
All in all, I actually enjoyed myself! The girls were able to play on the bouncy houses, get their face painted, and even stood in line for patriotically over-priced snow cones! The girls were able to get those twisted balloon things that end up being made into all kinds of things (one had an alien that rode on her shoulders, one had a sword, and one had a flower). Granted, none of the balloon characters made it home, but they were free, so I wasn't terribly heart broken (especially since I'm allergic to the stupid things).
I had originally decided to attend because my teen invited me. I figured with her there, I'd be able to get through the fireworks. Well, she went AWOL with her friends and I only saw her once the entire evening. Thankfully, my best friend and her family showed up just minutes before the show started. Between her and Chauncey, they got me through. I purposely sat far enough away that I couldn't hear them launching, and I enjoyed all but the absolutely largest shells. Those were the ones that I could feel the repercussion of their explosion in my chest and that would trigger me, but as I said, my service dog Chauncey (who did amazingly well with the fireworks) and my best friend saw me through.
I definitely think we will do it again next year. Perhaps I will be able to convince a couple of my fellow veterans to attend with me. Just showing up was a huge step for me and I hope I can share that with others next year.
Moral of this story: don't be afraid to face your fears…you may be pleasantly surprised at the results. If they aren't what you expected them to be, you will at least know that you tried. Perform an after action and see if there is anything you could do differently next time to improve the outcome!
PTSD by Any Other Name…
So it seems there is a public hearing in Philadelphia today to discuss changing PTSD to PTSI. They are pondering whether changing it from 'disorder' to 'injury' will remove some of the stigma and open soldiers up to getting treatment. While this is a valiant effort to persuade more soldiers get the help they need, Shakespeare's quote comes to mind, "A rose, by any other name…".
Changing the name of PTSD is not going to get soldiers to seek treatment. Far too many soldiers already avoid going to sick call (the military's version of an urgent care, same day appointments for medical treatment) because they fear being labeled as malingering or somehow not as worthy a soldier as their peers. Too often they wait to seek treatment until what was a minor problem has become a major issue. Even when they do seek treatment, more often than not they are met with nothing more than a prescription to treat the symptoms rather than exploration of the cause.
Rather than changing the name, what needs to occur is a change in mentality among the military's leadership. You hear far too many stories of soldiers who suddenly went from super-troop to rag-bag in the eyes of their commanders simply because of they chose to seek treatment and were diagnosed with PTSD and that is where the stigma originates.
For those of us with PTSD, it is not something we chose. We are not automatically weaker than our brothers and sisters. Is it an injury? Yes. Studies have shown that PTSD causes physiological changes in our brains. We process things differently than we did before this came into our lives. Our command wouldn't treat a soldier differently who was physically injured in combat but could still perform his job, so why are we being treated like lepers simply because of what is essentially a brain 'injury' which in and of itself causes a 'disorder'.
Over the past century, the military has had to integrate several demographics into their ranks; first african americans, then women, and most recently openly gay soldiers. The integrations were never smooth, they were often met with personal bias and bigotry. Perhaps what these people need to figure out is how to force the military to accept and treat equally those service members with unseen disabilities. Those who suffer the effects of PTSD and/or TBI. That is the true way to remove the stigma of seeking treatment for PTSD, not simply changing the name.
Do you think changing the name from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to Post Traumatic Stress Injury will make a difference? If not, what would help encourage soldiers to seek treatment?

According to Pantone's Color Report for Spring 2013, one of the most popular colors you'll see this upcoming season is "Tender Shoots".
It's sort of like a mix between apple green and limeade and I am so excited about wearing this vibrant color in many ways. We just got in one of our first shipments for spring and we are already running into this happy color!!
I love the way they paired it with pink! It is such a feminine and flirty look. Check out this long sleeve pleated dress at WearWillow.com
