About ASHI
Vet Becomes ASHI Home Inspector
As a Navy Seabee, BUC (builder chief) Mark Bacon, 51,
spent 20 years building bridges, airports and barracks while stationed in different locations around the world. Whether helping rebuild hurricane-ravaged Honduras or constructing airports in places like Spain and Japan, Bacon was always working to make structures safe.
After retiring and establishing a permanent home in Atlanta, Bacon wanted to continue working construction. However, his years of service left him unable to perform the heavy labor necessary to build homes. Bacon found a silver lining and instead decided to put his extensive construction experience to work as a home inspector.
Bacon was one of the first veterans to graduate from a full-range home inspector education program after the Veterans Administration approved The ASHI School, a subsidiary of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), to offer vocational training through Rehabilitation under Chapter 31.
"The ASHI School opened the window to continue using the skills that I gained in the Navy by teaching me how to apply my understanding of safe structures in a way that's helpful for homeowners," said Bacon. "The ASHI School program goes beyond piles of information. I received hands-on lessons about how systems operate."
The 120-hour home inspection course provides veterans with more options to help create their future. Upon completion of the program, veterans earn college course credits that can be applied to their existing careers or help start a new career path. The ASHI School also provides a one-year membership to ASHI upon graduation, software to create inspection reports, and a website to start advertising their Home Inspection business.
"We are proud and excited to offer this program to the men and women who served in our armed forces," said Jack McGraw, director of The ASHI School. "Veterans make great home inspectors – they transition from protecting our country to protecting homeowners."
The ASHI School program emphasizes the importance of real-world experience in home inspection training. The curriculum centers on field work, offering experience about how to perform home inspections on real homes with real home inspectors.
"The training I experienced through the ASHI School was beneficial. I was able to connect the classroom material with my first-hand experience," Bacon said.
The program combines 40 hours of pre-class study and 80 hours of classroom and field lab experience, which includes actual home inspections. Graduates of the program are eligible to receive five hours of transferrable college credit in coordination with Cincinnati State Technical Community College, which has accredited this course.
"I have never liked to do a job twice; I want to do it right the first time," Bacon added. "I recognized a similar work ethic built into the ASHI standards, and my clients recognize this."
The ASHI School aims to assist those interested in becoming home inspectors in starting and operating their own successful inspection career and business, as well as performing inspections in compliance with the ASHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
Veterans can use the course to bolster their existing careers or begin a new career or educational path. Classes for the 120 hour program are offered in several states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia.

Crime & Courts
'God is on your side today' Lee inmates told him. He was stabbed 14 times and lived
Watch inmates pace the prison floor with shanks during deadly SC riot
After the death of seven inmates at Lee Correctional Institution during a gang-related riot, two more lawsuits -- including one suing for wrongful death -- have been filed against the S.C. Department of Corrections, according to Lee County court records.
A relative of Eddie Gaskins, a 32-year-old man incarcerated at Lee on domestic violence charges, sued the department for wrongful death on behalf of his estate, which is going to his four children.
Gaskins died at Lee April 15 after being stabbed multiple times and bleeding to death. In the law suit, filed Thursday, his family said Gaskins was "severely injured, suffered needlessly and died."
A second lawsuit, filed Tuesday on behalf Lee inmate Randy Mast, said the inmate was stabbed multiple times during the riot after the one guard in the unit left the building.
Mast and other inmates barricaded themselves in a cell to escape violent prisoners who were moving from unlocked door to unlocked door stabbing fellow inmates, according to the suit. "God is on your side today," one of the inmates wielding homemade knifes, shanks and axes said.
When Mast was left alone, he was stabbed 14 times in the head, side, arms, wrists and hands, according to the suit. His skull was fractured with one of the homemade weapons.
Despite his injuries, Mast was able to make it to the dorm exit door, where he was handcuffed and taken for treatment. According to the lawsuit, he was in the intensive care unit for four days.
Mast was sent to Lee Correctional in December 2017 on meth, burglary, accomplice and theft charges and now resides in Broad River Correctional Institution.
Both lawsuits allege employees at Lee Correctional knew about gang tensions in the prison and knew many of the men were armed, according to the lawsuits. Gaskin's family's suit said the Department of Corrections made this worse by transferring "several hundred competing gang members" to Lee shortly before the riot.
This accusation is far from new. Earlier this month, three inmates filed separate lawsuits against the Department of Corrections for gross negligence.
Robert Jackson, 30, said two masked men burst into his cell and stabbed him multiple times. Jadarius Roberts claimed he was stabbed at least 20 times. Reakwon Watson, 21, said he was "forced to bleed and suffer for several hours" after his stabbing.
All inmates have contibuted the conditions at Lee which lead up to the riot to understaffing and poor conditions. All said none of the doors in their unit locked, something the head of the department Bryan Stirling admitted.
Stirling also said contraband cellphones were to blame for the riot, but Gaskin's family said in their lawsuit that Department of Corrections officials were "purposely lenient in conducting contraband searches," including looking for cell phones and illegal drugs. The lawsuit said this was to "pacify the inmates."

Like the idea of supporting company-wide decisions?
Then you should consider joining Jobber! We're looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our BizOps team at our headquarters in Edmonton, AB, in an historic building along Jasper Avenue, or at our growing office in Toronto, ON, which is located in the King-West area.

Ms. Rogers' Class Update
This week we looked at the difference between fiction and non-fiction. We will continue to practice looking at books and identifying why they are fiction or non-fiction. Letter sounds and sight words were our focus during word work. Some learners have been commenting on the likes and comments they are receiving on their work! Please be sure to ask your learner about the sight word book they worked on this week. We worked with numbers and place value in Math.
Next week:
Fiction or Non-fiction? We will use Epic Books and identify and explain why. In Math we will continue to focus on number sense and place value. Writing will continue to be a focus, as we will work on writing our 5 Star Sentence: Capital letter to start my sentence, Punctuation to end my sentence, Use Finger Spaces, Use Neat Handwriting, and My Sentence Makes Sense. We will look at our writing from last week to see if we have 5 star sentences.
**Reminder there are no online lessons on Monday, October 22 or Friday, October 26**
I look forward to seeing everyone at Parent/Teacher Conferences this week!
Mr. Dowling's Class update
Week in Review:
I was only here on Tuesday this week. I attended a Math professional development here in town. It was very informative. I hope to be trying some new ideas next week! My substitute said the students were great!
Next Week:
WE WON!!!!!! Ms. Roger's class and mine were in a race for the highest parent Seesaw participation. We only have 3 parents who haven't signed up yet. Hopefully we'll get them next week during conferences. Speaking of conferences, please get signed up!
There will be parent/teacher conferences on the 24th and 25th. The Sign-up Genius link is below. Please sign up as soon as you can!
Mrs. Walker's class update
Week in Review:
This week we worked on finishing up everything we had previously started in class. Students also finished up their data folders to get ready for parent teacher conferences next week! The students signed into their math Prodigy account and had a lot of fun working in this program. It is accessible at home so if you would like your student to do some extra math, this is a fun program for that. I appreciate everyone working hard this week to get all their artifacts turned in! Great Job!
Looking Ahead:
We will be starting the Readers Choice Unit soon. Student's have picked between Henry Huggins, Stone Fox, and The Hundred Dresses. Ask your student which one they picked and either purchase or rent it from the library by the 29th of October.
Next week we will have parent teacher conferences where your student will go over their data folder with you Wednesday or Thursday night. If you haven't signed up yet you still can! See you next week!
Mr. Gamble's Class Update
Week in Review:
Thank you to all for working so hard on getting assignments and assessments done for quarter grades. If there are lesson assessments not completed, learners may still submit work through the end of the semester. Learners will receive full credit for work submitted and the "0"s will replace themselves.
Online lessons continue to happen daily. See below for the schedule to ensure your learners are in attendance. If a student is optional, they are not required to attend, but are welcome to for additional assistance. "Required" learners must attend the session for lesson assistance.
Looking Ahead:
Learners will continue to use their Passports to check in with each Learning Facilitator and discuss that subject area. These passports will also notify Learning Coaches what was done in class and what the next steps are for learners. Follow up with your learners and see what their next step is. Keep checking their progress and using the pacing guides to know what is due.
Should your learner have a question or struggle, please encourage them to reach out to us. If they are reserved, then please email the appropriate teacher and we will make note of that need and address it. We are a team and encourage all parties (facilitator, coach, and learner) to communicate.
PIT Stop is available on Friday mornings from 10:00 – 11:00 for learners that need assistance. This is an ONLINE session. I will be actively in the session and available to answer questions or model lessons for learners in need.
We look forward to seeing everyone at conferences. Be sure to use the Sign Up Genius link in the newsletter to choose a block of time you will visit the middle-school team.
There are countless resources on the internet for math. Throughout the year I will post some here that could assist your learner or yourself. Learning coaches can use these to check the work of a learner or preview topics.
This month's resource can be effective for all courses. Geogebra provides a free graphing calculator and many other tools that are helpful for verifying or graphing equations, expressions, and inequalities as well as drawing geometric shapes and finding their properties. It can be used to show graphs if equations in assignments or to check the work of a learner.
Weekly Online Math Lessons:
Most online sessions will not last the entire block of time, unless needed for individual help. We will work in mini-lessons addressing specific needs. If "Required" is listed on the session, you must attend that session. If "Optional" is listed, you do not have to attend, but CAN attend if you'd like help or a review.
The schedule for regular online Math sessions is as follows:
There are NO online lessons this week due to conferences and teacher training.
Mrs. Felten's Class Update
6th grade science students are working through some labs on rocks and minerals. They are enjoying hands-on identification.
7th grade science students are working on labs about cells.
8th grade science students are working on density and measurement labs. We did a lab using gum drop models to balance equations this week as well.
All social studies students are working through their workbooks. World history is working on a book about Early Man using Minecraft to create pictures. Global studies is working to get used to using the workbook in Onenote. They will do a research project in class before the end of the semester. American history students are on unit 8 right now. They will have an optional field trip to the Lewis and Clark Headquarters coming up. Be on the look out for an email from Angela Nelson for group details. Learners can also choose to read the book Jefferson's sons.
Mrs. Robison's Class Update
Thank you to everyone who came to conferences! It was nice to be able to share the good things your learner is doing as well as some suggestions or strategies to help them to be even better!
If your learner is behind pace, I would set a goal to have them complete with all work so that they can begin our new module on November 1st. There are so many benefits to being on pace for your learner! Although it may take sacrifice and hard work to get there, being ready to start our new module on the 1st will have its benefits!
If your learner has not signed up for a time to present their research or deliver their speech, please encourage them to do so. A link for sign ups can be found in the Class Announcements on each learner's Class Home page. I am excited to give them an opportunity to speak in front of an audience. Although this can be intimidating, it can help you grow in so many ways!
In Computer Apps, learners will be focusing on Microsoft Word and EduTyping this quarter. If your learner has not started their Microsoft Word lessons, you will want to have them check those out. EduTyping lessons will be assigned to your learner based off of their WPM score they demonstrated on a pre-test earlier this year. These lessons are posted today!

Well, now that I think about that some more, lots of people know who they are and they dress accordingly. An example of this would be: a female lawyer. I think her business would suffer if she dressed like I do all day; sweats, a T-shirt and mocassins. Ohhhh! What a sight I am,... and I don't even know who I am!!! lol

Chrysler to Recall More Than 683,000 Vehicles
DETROIT—Chrysler Group LLC confirmed Monday it is voluntarily recalling more than 683,000 Jeep Wranglers and minivans world-wide over brake-line and sliding-power-door issues.
The auto maker said the recall affects 364,732 of its 2007 through 2010 Jeep Wrangler models. Potentially, brake lines could come in contact with the inner-fender lining, which could reduce braking performance over time, Chrysler said in a statement.

The day of the big race is always a big one on the Shelter Island calendar. (more…)
The day of the big race is always a big one on the Shelter Island calendar. (more…)
Eliud Ngetich smiled when a reporter joked that his participation in the 40th annual Shelter Island 10K Run Saturday amounted to a long cooldown. READ
The Boston Marathon.
At least for the foreseeable future, those words bring to mind the horrific images of the bombings that occurred on April 15, reportedly killing three and injuring 264.
Noting the peaceful nature of his sport, Bill Rodgers, one of running's beloved elder statesmen, couldn't help but point out the "sad irony" that such an attack has become associated with a joyous sporting event.
Rodgers, a former United States Olympian and four-time winner of both the Boston and New York City marathons, was home with his girlfriend watching the marathon on television when the explosions went off.
"You don't believe it's real," he said. "It is personal for all of us."
And by "us," Rodgers was referring to the running community, which has banded together in support of Boston. So, runners continue to run and compete.
"It's kind of like a healing process," Rodgers said. "Boston, I think, shook them up bad."
The impact of those bombings continues to be felt. Two months to the day of those attacks, the Boston Marathon was undoubtedly on the minds of many at the 34th annual Shelter Island 10K Run on Saturday. One could see it from the stepped up security to the pre-race ceremony to the items worn by the runners. Some runners wore T-shirts with the words "BOSTON STRONG" printed on them. Many wore wristbands. One of Rodgers' wristbands read, "We Run As One."
Many people were undoubtedly thinking about Boston, but it would only be understandable if Ethiopia was on Ayele Megersa Feyisa's mind. Nearing the end a three-month spell in the United States during which he competed in nine road races, Feyisa ran for the first time on Shelter Island and the last time before heading back to his African homeland on Tuesday. He ran a time most human beings could only dream about, and recorded a triumph only a tiny percentage of runners ever get to experience, yet he was disappointed, nonetheless.
Sure, Feyisa captured first place, but he didn't break the meet record. The 25-year-old Ethiopian, who has been living in New York City, fell 22 seconds short of the course mark that was set last year by Simon Ndirangu of Kenya. Ndirangu had himself clipped three seconds off the previous record that Alena Reta of Ethiopia set in 2010.
Feyisa was looking to put the record back in an Ethiopian's hands — his hands — but it wasn't in the cards. His winning time of 28:59 was hardly shabby, though. He finished six seconds ahead of the runner-up, Amos Sang, a Kenyan who lives in Manchester, Conn.
But Feyisa, who does not speak English, did not look pleased afterward. His manager, Alem Kahsay, who acted as a translator for reporters, confirmed as much.
"He feels bad because he tried to break the course record," Kahsay said. "He's happy [with his training], but he's not happy today."
The baking sun may have had something to do with keeping that course record out of reach. Feyisa also indicated that the hilly course was a challenge. "It's very difficult, down, up," he said following his fourth victory from nine road races.
Feyisa, running a 4:40 mile pace, took the lead on the second mile. Sang said he was close by until he slowed down a little on the fourth mile. Feyisa "kept pushing it," Sang said. "He tried to press it. By mile four he was alone by himself."
Sang sounded delighted with his performance and seemed to enjoy the experience. "I was not expecting second place," he said. "Everything was amazing."
Girma Gebre of New York City was third in 30:26. He was followed by Glarius Rop of Springfield, Mass., (31:09), Abdelhadi El Mouaziz of Queens (31:29), Abdelkebir Lamachi of Queens (31:43), Joseph Ekuon of Kingston (33:41) and Thomas Rammelkamp of Miller Place (33:57).
The next one to cross the finish line was the women's winner, Katie Di Camillo, 26, of Providence, R.I.. She clocked a time of 34:19.
"I'm excited," said Di Camillo, who ran cross-country and track for both Holy Trinity High School and Providence College. "I finished strong."
The next four finishers were women as well: New York City residents Hirut Beyene Guangul (34:33) and Tsehay Gebre Getiso (34:51), Askale Merachi of Jackson Heights (35:16) and Atalelech Asfaw of Albuquerque, N.M. (35:35).
The top local runners were Keith Steinbrecher of Wading River (16th in 37:07), Bryan Knipfing of Shelter Island Heights (24th in 38:49), Rick Buckheit of Southold (33rd in 40:36) and Kyle Lehman of Cutchogue (37th in 41:15). The first local woman to finish was Suzy Heffernan of Cutchogue. She was 23rd in 46:56.
Nine hundred and seventy-two runners finished the race.
The Shelter Island race was further evidence that the spirit of athletics does not die easily. Runners are by nature a determined group.
"Shocking, shocking, shocking," Sang said when reminded of the Boston bombings. "It's something that happened, but we love running. We enjoy running. We're not going to stop. We're going to keep going."
The weather conditions were ripe for a record.
A typical day for the Shelter Island 10K Run is hot, humid and sticky. Saturday was not like that at all. It wasn't too hot, humidity was not a factor, and there was even a refreshing breeze that cooled the runners like a giant fan.
Some 90 minutes before the 33rd annual race, Dr. Frank Adipietro, the race's medical director and public-address announcer, told a reporter, "We could definitely see a course record today."
How right he was.
Simon Ndirangu of Kenya clocked a winning time of 28 minutes 37 seconds for a race record. He clipped three seconds off the previous mark that Alena Reta of Ethiopia set in 2010 when he won the race for the second time in four years.
But Saturday was Ndirangu's day. The 26-year-old was steady throughout. Running a 4:37-per-mile pace, he completed the first five kilometers in 14:12 and then finished the second half of the race in 14:26.
"I'm very happy," said Ndirangu, who had never run in the Shelter Island 10K before. "My aim was to beat the course record, and I did it."
Second place went to Tesfaye Girma of Ethiopia in 29:10. The residences of the next six finishers — Samuel Ndereba (29:45), Abiyot Endale (29:50), Mengistu Nebsi (30:01), Ketema Nigusse (31:00), Boniface Biwott (31:18) and Mikael Tesfaye (31:29) — were not listed. Dan Wallace-Periac of Nyack (31:39) was ninth and Thomas Rammelkamp of Miller Place (32:35) took 10th.
Ndirangu, who started running professionally in 2006, did not know what his competition would be like, so he was running into the unknown, in a sense.
"I was not sure I was going to win, but I was sure I was going to do something under 29 minutes," he said. "… It's an opportunity God gives you once."
And he snatched it.
Ndirangu made his move around the three-mile mark, when he took the lead. "By four miles, I was 90-percent [sure] I was going to win," he said. "I believe I have a strong kick."
In the women's race, last year's runner-up, Malika Mejdoub, took the top honor, winning in 34:28. Mejdoub, a Moroccan who lives in Albuquerque, N.M., held off a challenge from Hirut Mandefro of Ethiopia, who was second in 34:42.
Speaking of her time, which improved upon the 34:40 she turned in last year, Mejdoub said: "It's not my best, but it's alright."
Third place went to McKenzie Melander of Apple Valley, Minn. Her time was 34:51.
Mejdoub, Morocco's former cross-country champion, is hoping to compete in this summer's Olympics in England. Morocco doesn't hold trials to select its marathon runners, so for Mejdoub, it's a waiting game as she waits for the Olympic list to come out. She's hoping her name will be on it.
"Of course, anybody dreams to go to the Olympics," she said. "I'm waiting. I don't know what to do, what's the plan. Anything can happen."
Six former Olympians ran the course. Among them were two women who finished in the top 10: a Russian, Ludmila Petrova (seventh in 35:57), and Joan Benoit Samuelson of Freeport (10th in 39:29).
The other former Olympians were Keith Brantly, Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter and Shelter Island's own Amanda Clark, a sailor who will compete in the Olympic Games in England later this summer.
The other top 10 finishers in the women's race were Dorcus Chesang (fourth in 34:52), Ilona Barvanova (fifth in 35:15), Tinbit Wedgbral (sixth in 35:30), Heather Williams of Centerport (eighth in 38:26) and Tara Farrell of East Quogue (ninth in 38:55).
Ryan Udvadia, 16, of Shoreham was the top local finisher, coming in 14th in 34:28. Ken Rideout was the first Shelter Islander to cross the finish line. He was 15th in the men's race in 36:26.
The final results showed that 1,067 runners completed the race.
When the race started in front of Shelter Island High School, a scene that looked like something Norman Rockwell would have painted took shape. Heads bobbed up and down as a mass of bodies snaked their way forward with American flags waving in the background. And there were more American flags, hundreds of them, planted in the ground over the last mile of the race, which was designated as "Joey's Mile." It is in memory of Shelter Island's hero, 1st Lt. Joseph Theinert, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in June 2010.
African runners have a hold on this race, and for good reason: Running is their lifestyle.
"We do this for our life," Ndirangu said. "We always train. In Africa we train hard, and probably most of the runners in Africa, they don't have a job. Their job is just running, and those who are running, they take it very seriously."
Count Girma among them. He said he runs 100 training miles a week.
"That's my job," said Girma, who won a 10-kilometer race in Orange County, N.Y., three weeks ago. "I'm training every day. I want to win."
For Ndirangu and others, running is a way of life.
"Running is like my hobby. I like it," Ndirangu explained. "In my career, I want to make history. I want to make victories, so this is one of them. I'm very, very happy."
African runners must like something about Shelter Island because they keep winning, posting quality times and dominating in the small island's annual 10-kilometer race.
Kumsa Adugna, 25, of Ethiopia, who was the runner-up last year, was the winner this time around in the 32nd annual Shelter Island 10K Run on Saturday. Adugna, running a 4-minute 47-second mile pace, bolted across the finish line, completing the course in 29:44. He nudged out Harbert Okuti of Uganda by two seconds and third-place Keteme Nigusse of Ethiopia by three seconds in a close finish.
"I'm happy. I like," Adugna, whose English is limited, told reporters afterward.
Adugna ran with the lead pack the whole way. He was first among a distinct group of six runners at the front that was later whittled down to three. Adugna, who said he felt confident, took the lead for himself on the grass during the final sprint to the finish line.
Seven of the top eight finishers were Africans. Girma Tolla of Ethiopia was fourth in 30:04, Mourad Marofit of Morocco was fifth in 30:24, Abiyot Endale Worku of Ethiopia was sixth in 30:49 and Demesse Tefera of Ethiopia was eighth in 32:50.
Tefera followed seventh-place Birhanu Feysa of Silver Springs, Md. (31:18).
The first Long Islander was Matt Walsh of Wantagh. He was ninth in 34:52, which was 13 seconds ahead of 10th-place Christopher Koegel of Malverne.
Even the women's champion had an African connection. Although Tezaya Dengersa, 30, is Turkish, she lives in Ethiopia with her husband and their two children.
In clocking a winning time of 34:17, Dengersa for the first time finished ahead of her rival, second-place Malika Mejdoub of Morocco, who turned in a time of 34:40.
Dengersa said she pushed herself as hard as she could. Perhaps she needed to. Speaking of Mejdoub, Dengersa said, "She's strong."
Mejdoub said the two of them ran the first three miles together before Dengersa made her move.
"Actually, I didn't run well," Mejdoub said. "I was tired a little bit this week, but it's O.K. I took second place. I'm happy."
Caroline Bierbaum of New York City came in third at 34:43. Michele Buonora of Sayville was the first Long Island woman with a time of 40:52 that brought her 10th place.
Not counting Dengersa, Mejdoub was one of four Africans to place among the top eight in the women's race. Among them were Salome Kosgei of Kenya (fourth in 36:15), who was followed by Aileen Barry of New York City (37:41) and Jane Finck of New York City (38:47). The next three female finishers were Muluye Gurmu of Ethiopia (38:57), Ilham Batal of Morocco (39:19) and Jenny Malik of Rochester (40:18).
The event featured the most former Olympians it has ever had — four — with Bill Rodgers, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Tolla and Dengersa taking part. Other big names from the running world participated, including Kim Jones and Jon Sinclair.
"There are so many good runners today," said Rodgers, who won four Boston Marathons, four New York City Marathons and ran the marathon in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. "It's not like 30 years ago, and so many good, older runners today, all ages, and that's what you see here."
Among the field of 22 elite runners were seven Ethiopians, four Moroccans, a Ugandan and a Kenyan. Dr. Frank Adipietro, the race's medical director, said, "I'm going to have to say this is the strongest field we've had in the 32-year history of the race."
The warm, sunny weather earlier in the day changed as the 5:30 p.m. starting time approached. It got cloudy, protecting runners from the sun, but there was still humidity to deal with.
As the runners made their way along the American-flag-lined course, with trees offering welcomed shade for some of the way, smiling spectators lining the route offered refreshments, applause and encouragement. "It's a celebration of our sport," said Samuelson, who won the first Olympic women's marathon in 1984 in Los Angeles.
Still, the conditions were apparently not right for a record, like the course record Alena Reta of Ethiopia set in 2010 when he won the race for the second time in four years, clocking a time of 28:40.
Many reasons can be attributed to the Africans' fine record in long-distance running. Samuelson gained a firsthand appreciation for that a few weeks ago when she visited Kenya.
"I was really impressed with the way they trained," she said. "They just run everywhere. If I went for a run, kids would jump off the backs of trucks or would run out of the schoolyard and they would run alongside us."
The affable Rodgers, who figures he has run some 165,000 miles over the course of his career, made his third appearance in the race as part of a celebrity pace group.
"I was glad to not have to push as hard as I could because this was hard enough," he said. "I'm getting a little creaky."

Will Ethiopian runners maintain their grip on the Shelter Island 10K Run?
That question will be answered Saturday when the race is run for the 32nd time.
Ethiopians featured prominently in last year's event. Alena Reta of Ethiopia was the top male finisher for the second time in four years. Reta took one second off the course record he set in 2007 by clocking a winning time of 28 minutes 40 seconds over the 6.2-mile distance.
Reta was followed by fellow countrymen Kumsa Adunga (29:44), Ketema Nigusse (29:46) and Demesse Tefera (29:49). Yet another Ethiopian might have finished among them, but Dereji Tadesse dropped out of the race about midway through it with back pain.
Even so, Ethiopian runners dominated the top spots, taking the top six finishes.
Ehiopians grabbed two of the top three places in the women's race. Emebet Bacha Lencho won in 34:26 and was ninth overall. Right behind her was Anzhelika Averoka of the Ukraine in 34:49 and Irene Limika of Ethiopia in 34:51.
Two former Olympic marathoners, Bill Rodgers and Joan Benoit Samuelson, will return to run on Shelter Island. Both are looking to avenge second-place finishes in their respective age divisions last year.
Rodgers, a living symbol of the 1970s running boom, won the Boston and New York City marathons four times each between 1975 and 1980, twice breaking the American record in Boston. He finished 40th in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.
This will be Rodgers' third appearance in the Shelter Island race.
"I love the whole feeling to this event," Rodgers told The Shelter Island Reporter after running a time of 43:48 in last year's race. "In a way, this is the best of road racing. The big races like the New York City Marathon are cool in a certain way. But this, here, is where people begin to explore the sport and really test themselves. … It's where it all happens."
Samuelson won gold in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, the year the first women's marathon was introduced. She holds the fastest times for an American woman in the Chicago and the Olympic marathons.
Last year Samuelson took part in the Golden Girls Gallop, a new prize competition for women 50 and older in the Shelter Island 10K Run. The first Golden Girls Gallop winner was Carmen Ayala-Troncoso of Austin, Texas, who posted a time of 37:38. She was followed by Samuelson in 37:44.

Ruwaid from Zarqa, the child who stole the hearts of social media users after being rejected by a private school because of his disability, has finally found a new school.
The four-and-a-half-year-old child joined his peers at a private school in his hometown, after the Ministry of Education helped him receive a full scholarship to continue his studies.
Ruwaid gained social media attention after his mother complained that a private school refused to enrol her son because they claimed "he would scare the other children in his classroom."
The school that awarded Ruwaid the scholarship said that it covers his tuition fees and books, but excludes transportation to and from school. However, Education Minister Azmi Mahafzah told Roya that he is currently trying to get the school to include transportation as part of the scholarship.
Mahafzah explained that the transportation issue is not a financial one, but that a specialized supervisor would need to be appointed to keep an eye out on Ruwaid on the bus, which is something the school is currently looking into.
According to Article 20 of the Jordanian Constitution, primary education is compulsory for all. However, the percentage of children with special needs in schools remains low.
Jordan has several specialized centres and schools for children with disabilities, such as the Al-Masar Development Services, which is "a unique institution in the Middle East as it pioneers in providing children with special needs with individualized and comprehensive educational and therapeutic services under one roof."
The Higher Council for Affairs of Persons with Disabilities works tirelessly to ensure that children, especially those with disabilities, are not excluded from the educational system.
The Council believes that including disabled children in the educational system "changes misconceptions about them and instills the concept of acceptance of difference among their peers without disabilities."

As an author of erotic romance, the title of my piece might come as a surprise to the uninitiated. They'll argue, 'of course sex sells'. Sex has been an important and much-used marketing tool throughout the decades. Put a voluptuous model next to a new car at a trade show and an audience will gather. Use provocative photos—like Abercrombie & Fitch is prone to do—in advertisements, and a product will get noticed. Even the most naïve among us knows that.
However, will the underlying product satisfy?
There's the rub. Too often those who want to write erotic romance (and those who criticize it), believe that it's all about the sex. Trust me, it's not. (Note: please don't confuse erotic romance with erotica, which is generally about sex and nothing but. I'm talking about erotic romance here). The important thing in any romance is the actual love story between the lovers whether it's male/female, male/female/male, male/male or whatever combination the author chooses.
It's the connection between the people that ultimately sells an erotic romance novel. The sex is a very small part of it.
I learned that early on while I was reading the genre. The best stories…the ones that pulled me into the plot, made me root for the lovers, cry for them, bleed with them…always had a very good reason for the sex. It was the proverbial icing on the cake or the cherry at the top of the sundae.
I found the other books, the ones that were heavy on sex and short on deep POV, plot or motivation, quickly forgettable. They truly were like a porn film. Shocking (if you're new to the genre), somewhat titillating, but ultimately unsatisfying leaving you hungering for more.
That more is relationship, genuine intimacy, the wonder lovers see in each other's eyes and feel in each other's arms while also battling conflict, the external and internal odds that are there to keep them apart. That's what makes readers turn the pages as quickly as they can to see what happens next. It's definitely not the sex.
When I began to write erotic romance, I wanted my brand to state simply and eloquently what I was trying to accomplish with my stories. After much thought, I settled on 'Heat with Heart'. To me, that says it so well. My erotic romances do have a lot of steamy sex, but there's always a reason for it within the tale.
Take for example Illicit Desire, Book Two of my Outlawed Realm series, which combines romance with paranormal and a bit of sci-fi. In it, Lukan and Arez, are pleasure slaves on E4, the fourth dimension of earth (in the series, there are five dimensions or realms). Arez and Lukan were created for one purpose—to serve their masters in whatever carnal way possible. They've known no home, parents, hope, freedom, only endless servitude with harsh punishment for any display of disobedience, including withholding of food and death by being hunted in the jungle. Even in such a harsh existence, love blossoms. Unknowing to the rulers who own them, Lukan and Arez have bonded as a man and woman who cannot live without the other. When Lukan escapes the Pleasure Palace his only desire is to rescue Arez. To give her freedom she deserves as a human being. To bring her to the outside world she doesn't even know exists. Her entire life, like those of the other pleasure slaves, has been lived entirely in the palace.
Their tale has lots of sex that's steamy, arousing, titillating. The kind that makes you drool and murmur, 'oh yeah'. However, beneath it is always Lukan and Arez's unquenchable need for each other. Their bond. Their desire for something more. Romantic Times gave Illicit Desire four stars and wrote in their review: "It's a rare treat to find an oft-used trope crafted into such a touching, sensual page-turner. A meticulously detailed realm of subhumans, werewolves and genetically enhanced sex slaves provides the backdrop for an intense story of identity, desire and freedom. Peril and sexual exploration are well balanced with insight, making for a reading experience as thought-provoking as it is exciting."
'Heat with Heart'.
In each of my stories, I use mainstream elements to enrich the tales and the sex. In Unending Desire, Book One of my Outlawed Realm series, I explored a totalitarian government (E2) that outlaws emotions, love, the messiness of feelings. For Nikoli, my hero, that's not living, it's existing, especially after he sees Regina who lives in Seattle or E1 as he calls it. A dimension where emotions rule. Yes, there are conflicts, wars, what seems to be endless misery. But there's also indescribable joy. The pleasure of a man craving a woman so deeply he'll become a traitor to his own realm to have her, to experience that carnal and emotional joy.
That is taking a plot beyond the sex. It's giving it a reason for being included in a story. I never have my characters jumping into bed for no good reason. After writing countless sex scenes, I'm certain I could make the carnal moments sensual as hell, downright drool-worthy, perhaps even shocking. But I'd never be able to make them gratifying. There has to be a connection between the participants, a spark of intimacy before the sex truly becomes pleasurable and memorable. You can do that with a look, an unexpected touch, a smile or even a few words that connects the characters in a way that paves the story for their future romance.
I've done it countless times, most recently with Illicit Intent(ménage), Book Three of my Appointment with Pleasure series. It's Piper's birthday. She's a full-figured gal who's just turned thirty. Piper doesn't consider herself beautiful or sexy. Her long-time boyfriend just dumped her. Let's face it, she's pretty down. Her BFF hires two escorts, Guy and Joel, to spice up her night. They certainly do, but not only with sex. The three of them have an immediate connection…they like each other as human beings. We've all experienced a moment of meeting someone for the first time and feeling as if we've known them forever. You simply click with them. That happens with Piper and her men. Their budding friendship turns to something far more that enriches the sex, making their intimate moments that much sweeter.
The next time you finish an erotic romance, think about what stays with you. Was it the wild sex or the private smile the lovers gave to each other? Was it the voyeurism, BDSM, the hot-and-heavy bed play that you recall? Or was it the moment when the lovers knew they were meant for each other? When a touch became more than that, it grew into their reason for living where they'll risk everything to be with the person they love.
That's what really sells and brings readers back for more.
