Reviews of this property
Spacious apartment, everything was very clean in a somewhat older skyscraper. Nothing was missing. Ideal also the two bathrooms were. Good location: walking distance to the beach and shopping. Nice landlady, who has invited us to do even a city tour (we were four guys for eight days during the World Cup in Salvador).
Grosszügige Wohnung, alles sehr sauber in einem schon etwas älteren Hochhaus. Es fehlte an nichts. Ideal waren auch die zwei Badezimmer. Gute Lage: Fussdistanz zu Strand und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Nette Vermieterin, die uns gar noch auf eine Stadtrundfahrt eingeladen hat (wir waren vier Jungs für acht Tage während der Fussball-WM in Salvador).
Excellent apartment - spacious and well located. Very near to taxis, bank, supermarkets and the beach. The host is kind, reliable and helpful. Absolutely recommendable.

Editor's note: This is the sixth installment in Bleacher Report's NFL 1000 for the 2013 season. This signature series runs through April 24, with NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller ranking the best players at every position. You can read more about the series in this introductory article. See the NFL 1000 page for more rankings.
Talented offensive guards are the forgotten men on the offensive line. But look at a great team and you're destined to find them. They're asked to power the run game and open up passing lanes on the inside for the quarterback. They're asked to be bulldozers on one play and agile movers on the next.
The guard position asks a lot of a player. So who does it best? Not based on their total career, but based on 2013.
That's what NFL 1000 aims to identify. Throw out the narratives and the fantasy football stats and dig into the film. Then we'll see who comes out on top.
The B/R 1000 metric is based on scouting each player and grading the key criteria for each position. The criteria are weighted according to importance, on a 100-point scale.
Potential is not taken into consideration. Nor are career accomplishments.
Guards are judged on pass-blocking (50 points), run-blocking (50) and all the technique, athletic ability and football intelligence needed to do both.
In the case of ties, our team asked, "Which player would I rather have on my team?" and set the rankings accordingly.
Subjective? Yes. But ties are no fun.
Each player was scouted by me and a team of experienced evaluators, with these key criteria in mind. The following scouting reports and grades are the work of months of film study from our team.
All statistics from Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Players' heights, weights and seasons from NFL.com.

Nicole Michmerhuizen Captures National Title in Womens 10,000 Meters at NCAA III Championships
Thursday, May 23, 2013
NCAA III Outdoor Track and Field Championships Site
(Photos by Mark Dannenhauer)
LA CROSSE, WISC. - The Calvin mens and womens track and field teams produced a dynamic first day of competition at the NCAA III Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday.
Junior Nicole Michmerhuizen (Holland/Holland Christian HS) highlighted the day by winning the national title in the 10,000 meters. Calvin also produced a pair of All-America performances in the mens 10,000 meters as seniors Dan Kerr (Petoskey, Mich.) and Matt Vander Roest (Ann Arbor/Ann Arbor Huron HS) were third and eighth respectively. In addition, senior Greg Whittle advanced to the the finals in the mens 1,500 meters while senior Alyssa Penning (Grand Rapids/Grand Rapids Christian HS) did the same in the womens 3,000 meter steeplechase.
The title by Michmerhuizen was the 12th individual national title in outdoor track and field by a Calvin womens track and field athlete. Michmerhuizen is the first to do so in the 10,000 meters however and she did so with vigor Thursday evening as she led from start-to-finish.
With the early lead, Michmerhuizen ran at the lead pack of a trio of runners for nearly two-thirds of the race but then put the hammer down with just under six laps to go, allowing her to widen the gap on the field.
Michmerhuizen finished in a time of 35:45.08, more than six seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
The game plan from my coaches was to be patient and then make a move at about the 1,200 meter mark, said Michmerhuizen. I felt good but I also felt nervous throughout the race, particularly because of what had happened at the indoor national meet.
Michmerhuizen was the national runner-up in the womens 5,000 meters at the NCAA III Indoor Track and Field Championships this past March. In that race Michmerhuizen led until the final 60 meters when she was caught from behind by Christy Cazzola of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and was nipped for the national title by a half-second.
I feel very blessed to have won (the national title), said Michmerhuizen. I have had such great support from my coaches, teammates, family and friends. I could not have done this without them.
According to Calvin distance coach Brian Diemer, Michmerhuizens race was the culmination of hard work. Nicole has worked extremely hard for this moment, said Diemer. A year ago she was 20th in this race and tonight shes a national champion. Her race was a battle of wills and when it came right down to it, she just wanted it more than anyone else.
Al Hoekstra - Calvins co-distance coach in track and field - stated that Michmerhuizen overcame obstacles to win the title. Nicole came in as the top seed and she was fighting a cold that has been with her for a week, said Hoekstra. In a sense, the deck was stacked against her, particularly at a national meet where little things become magnified but she refused to let those things get in her way. We are so proud of Nicole and the way she competed this evening.
Of note, Michmerhuizens national title came on the same track that Calvin standout Betsy Haverkamp captured the womens 3,000 meter (open) national title in 1997. The 3,000 meters has since been replaced by the womens 3,000 meter steeplechase.
On the mens side, Kerr recorded the top finish of his distance running career with a third place time of 29:58.90 in the mens 10K, improving upon his fifth place finish in the event a year ago. Vander Roest meanwhile grabbed an All-America berth as well by placing eighth in a time of 30:09.49, marking the fifth time that Calvin has had two All-Americans in the mens 10,000 meters in the same year. It also marked the 18th and 19th All-America performances in the mens 10,000 meters by Calvin.
I am so proud of Dan and Matt tonight, said Diemer. Dan has been an inspiration to coach and Matt ran a very gutsy race and got himself up on the All-America podium.
Hoekstra was also thrilled. I think Dan Kerr came up with the best race of his distance career and he has had several amazing races for us, said Hoekstra. He conserved his energy perfectly and had an amazing finish to move into third place. Matt Vander Roest was also clutch tonight. Hes battled some injuries this year but he wanted to be an All-American real bad and I salute him for his effort tonight.
After the 10,000 meter competition, Penning was able to place 11th in the prelims of the womens steeplechase with a time of 10:46.67. She will run in Saturdays finals. She was fifth a year ago for an All-America berth. Junior Alyssa Oram (Cheboygan/Home Schooled) also competed in the womens steeplechase prelims but did not advance, finishing 20th in a time of 11:13.15.
In the mens steeplechase prelims, sophomore Steven Haagsma (Grandville/Calvin Christian HS) competed but did not advance, finishing 18th in a time of 9:36.34.
Earlier in the day, Whittle advanced to the finals in the 1,500 meters for the third straight year, clocking in with the third-best time of the prelims (3:51.50). Junior Sam Kerk (Hartland, WI/Lake Country Lutheran HS) also competed in the 1,500 meter prelims but did not advance, finishing 15th in 3:54.66.
No Calvin athletes are scheduled to compete on Friday. In addition to Penning (steeplechase) and Whittle (1,500 meters), Kerk and Vander Roest will run in the mens 5,000 meters and Michmerhuizen in the womens 5,000 meters on Saturday.

Help needed
Replacing the roof, gutters, and repointing the chimneys and repairing historic soffits and fascia on the house of the Dunkirk Historical Lighthouse will cost about $91,000.
According to David Briska, vice president of the Lighthouse Board, "We have grant money to start the project, but are short about $20,000."
The grant is a dollar-for-dollar match, so in effect a contribution to the organization doubles.
Briska emphasized how much the organization has already accomplished.
"We have completed the one section of wall to protect the corner of the property; we have replaced the landscape wall near the house. We have painted the windows on the front of the house and are working our way around the whole house. We have painted most of the downstairs in the house, and are finishing up the living room – it will be done by May 1st. The inside of the tower, and the observation deck have been painted. We have painted all the closets/displays on the second floor. We are cleaning up the brush on the property giving us a better view of the lake. We have remodeled the inside of the Maritime building (the store), adding a new entrance and improved the flow in and out of that building," he said.
Because the building is historical, the current asphalt shingle roof, which is at least 40 years old, will be replaced by a slate roof. The group does have a couple of pieces from the original roof and are working with experts to match the grayish charcoal color.
In a letter to potential donors, Michael Vinciguerra, board president wrote, "The Yankee gutters will be made out of copper. The chimneys need to be rebuilt to prevent them from continuing to leak and damage the ceilings and walls on the second floor. The soffits and fascia need to be repaired to prevent animals from entering the attic and destroying the structure."
Vinciguerra notes that the work has the approval of the New York State Historical Registry. Bids have been accepted and work should begin on May 1.
The board wants to continue to improve the buildings to protect the artifacts and displays housed there. Thousands of visitors visit the site each year.
"Any help that can be given is appreciated," said Briska.
Donations are tax-deductible. Those who wish to donate online may go to the website: www.dunkirklighthouse.com and click on the Roofing Project Donate button on the homepage. Donations can also be made by mail to Dunkirk Historical Lighthouse and Veteran's Park Museum, 1 Lighthouse Point Drive, P.O. Box 69, Dunkirk, NY 14048-0069.

Topic: Does a Rails Plugin Repository exist?
I was thinking about making a plugin repository for rails... not sure if the site should actually host the plugin files(if it's even feasable), but should definitely be categorized, have lengthy write-ups on their functionality and links to the author sites. I'm finding that I'm tackling a lot of problems that have already been solved and a well maintained site like this could be invaluable as rails gains popularity.
If something like this does not exist does anyone have any suggestions on how to structure such a site? I have my own ideas, but i'm curious what you guys would expect.

Second Grade: Emotional JourneyPosted Saturday, November 5, 2011, at 5:44 AM
(Correction: In last column blog, I mistakenly identified the late Hutson Goza as co-owner of the Sikeston's Goza-Harper Motor Co. It was his brother, Kelly, who sold us our Plymouth "farm cars.")
Forgive me for taking a personal journey back in time. Ain't nothing bach there I can change. If I could, don't know that I would.
In looking back, can't describe the excitement I had on my first day at Canalou School of advanced thinking and higher ciphering. Although Canalou High, which I did not graduate from due to consoldation, only existed 30 short years, the country learning center produced more than 45 professional educators.
First grade constitutes a "sweet trip" down Memory Lane with beautiful talented Mrs. Greer as our teacher. For sure, Rosemary Hopper and Brenda Harlan were the "foxes" of first grade. But they broke my heart when choosing to sit with Harold David Bryant and Kirky Durbin at our Bootheel farm town's 10-cent Saturday night moving picture show.
But as I sat alone and gorged myself on my third bag of popcorn there in the darkened theater, I got to thinking. Not sitting with those two pretty little first grade fillies meant I got to spend my hard-earned cotton patch coins on corn, two cherry-flavored Cokes, all to myself with five cents left over for a big Baby Ruth candy bar. Not a bad trade-off.
Now, in looking back in time at second grade, I might change a thing or two, you know, be a little smarter in life. Have you ever walked in a room, without a word being spoken, and you didn't like someone, and they didn't like you, and you both knew it. Meet "second grade" teacher, who shall remain nameless. I became known as "Little Danny Whittle, her personal nemisis."
By second grade, I'd regained "favor" in the heart of first grade heart-throb Rosemary, who had beautiful red hair she wore in pig tails. She'd penned a note to me: "Danny, I like you. Do you like me?"
Which made Little Danny Whittle's heart soar, for about five seconds, until teacher swooped back and embarrassed little Rosemary in front of entire class for "note writing." I "flogged back," which got me my first paddling in school.
As subsequent moments dragged with dripping emotions (tears from the paddling), the madder Little Danny Whittle got, not about the spanking, but about the way teacher had embarrassed Rosemary.
After gathering courage and losing my mind, I penned a note to teacher. I recall it verbatim: "Dear teacher: I hate your guts, very much."
With great stealth, I managed to deposit the note on teacher's desk without her knowing it. But about five minutes' later, we heard this deep gutteral growl. Teacher had found the note!!
Not being a bright child, I signed the note: "Little Danny Whittle."
Thus, I received my official "second thrashing" of second grade.
But in her thunderous haste and exit back to the front of the room, teacher forgot a biggo heavy book on my desk.
"Get that book up here, pronto!!" teacher instructed.
She didn't specify how to send it, so I airmailed that biggo book. As fate would have it, that book soared, sailed and bonked teacher atop her noggin'. AFter wobbling a step or two, teacher was back to my desk.
Thus, I received my third paddling in less than 20 minutes time, although it seemed much longer.
I totaled a second grade school record "seven paddlings" that year, but was "passed" to third grade with teacher attaching her own personal note: "Under Condition."
Later in life, after about 15 years in subsequent newspapering career, teacher penned me a note while I worked at the Nashville Banner: "Little Danny Whittle, I've admired your writing career from afar all these years. I'm so sorry you have such dark memories of your second grade school teacher."
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
Seriously? You've done what quite a few of us would LIKE to have done to some of our teachers, I think. I've sat in my seat, trying to keep myself under control, while a tyrant of a teacher forced her will on me, each of us knowing how unfair it was--but also knowing it had to be that way. I would never have survived a paddling, I'm afraid.
I've delivered a few paddlings, since I usually taught in schools that were old-fashioned enough to believe in them (even for high-schoolers), but I never liked to do it, and I've received word that the hug I gave the recipients afterwards hurt more than the paddling. I usually ended it with, "Don't you ever make me do that again!"
These performances were usually necessary when I moved to a new school. The kids seemed to need proof that the teacher meant what she said. One paddling was all that was necessary.

Candidates share vision of future Fredonia
Many residents of the village of Fredonia will head to the polls on March 11 to cast ballots, and the four candidates for trustee shared their thoughts Wednesday night on the future of the village.
The Fredonia Opera House was the location for the Meet the Candidates forum, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County.
Susan Forrester-MacKay is a returning Democratic candidate who served two terms as village trustee from 2003 to 2011. Phyllis Jones is a Democrat and serves on the Zoning Board of Ap-peals. Mary Jane Starks, a Republican, heads Festivals Fredonia. Republican Michael Vinceguerra was absent from the meeting due to prior travel engagements, but a statement from him was read by Starks.
In the statement, Vinceguerra said the village needed to be more proactive in developing and repairing its infrastructure instead of "responding after the fact to problems, which leaves us few options." He also called for greater transparency in the operation of its government and more public input. "It does not seem to me that (the village is) big enough to need committees. We should not need to meet privately as a committee to get answers," the statement said.
Starks said she agreed the board must be more transparent.
"I'm very much in favor of an open government. I think if we're going to make positive changes … we need to do it with community involvement," she said.
The group was asked about the SAFER grant brought to the attention of the village board by the fire department, which would provide salaries for nine additional firefighters for two years. The village would be required to pay for equipment and training, and may not be able to obtain new funds to keep the hires after two years, subjecting the village to unemployment and other costs.
Forrester-MacKay said she had spoken with village officials and firefighters and said she was concerned about the costs of the program and impact of laying off up to nine workers after two years and didn't support accepting the grant. Jones and Starks said they needed more information before taking a position.
Underutilized assets were among topics discussed. Starks said an example is the Department of Public Works having separate trucks with plows and sand. She believed the village could save money by having each sanding or salting vehicle fitted with plows attached to save costs in fuel and labor.
When asked about moving village elections to November, each was in favor. Jones and Forrester-MacKay cited greater voter turnout and cost savings. Starks concurred, adding trustees would have more time to become part of the budget decision-making process. "They'll have the opportunity to be more informed," she said.
Candidates were asked about incentives to keep children in the area and how to grow the economy. Jones said she was encouraged by a recent study which showed some people aged 25-45 were returning. "They're seeing it is a wonderful place to raise children," she said.
Forrester-MacKay said the village needs to look for ways to provide entertainment "beyond Water Street" which would appeal to the age group, and said prospective college professors are concerned about "unintentional contact with students on a Saturday night" while attempting to manage personal lives outside of the classroom.
Starks said as someone who has returned to the area after leaving briefly, she believes the area has such assets, such as the opera house, plays and lectures on campus, "but maybe they could be promoted a lot more."
When asked about considering a ban on horizontal hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the village and town, only Forrester-MacKay said she felt informed enough to take a position and would support a ban. "I have heard nothing that would convince me otherwise," she said.
A question was asked about how to involve SUNY Fredonia in the community and local government in more ways.
Forrester-MacKay said she believed "walls are coming down" between the college and village government and foresees partnerships with faculty and students in finding ways to create more appeal for businesses and residents to move into the area. "We want (students and faculty) to take ownership of the village," she said. Starks said students are already utilized for Festivals Fredonia and plans are in place to get students involved in the farmers' market.
Tourism was also discussed. Jones said she would like to see more "upstart businesses" along Main Street. "So much goes to Route 60," she said.
Forrester-MacKay said she favors tourism as a way to improve the economy as well. She cited Paducah, Ky. as a place which has brought in artistic vendors with success. "You bring in the arts and other businesses follow," she said.
The candidates had similar positions on many of the questions asked of them, which prompted an audience member to ask how or on what issues they differ.
Starks said she has worked with Forrester-MacKay through Festivals Fredonia. "Do we agree on everything? No. Sometimes we butted heads, but we always found some way to work around that," Starks said.
Jones said each is interested in what to do to improve the village and contain costs but will approach tasks in different ways.
"I think we all know that people dislike a lot of yelling and getting nothing done," Forrester-MacKay replied.

Can the public purchase the LaBella brand direct from the company? I have tasted these and they are a great productThanks
We challege everyone to spend the furtunes you spend on DOP tomatoes then spend the $33.00 per case on 12 -28oz. cans from us.
trust me the best imported tomatoes by far san marzano and dop= NINA TOMATOES In Phila. area LANCI FOODS WWW.LANCIFOODS.COM
I definitely prefer an imported tomato over domestic we also sell our imported tomatoes cheaper than what some california tomatoes are getting for theirs.your San Marzano types are from the San Marzano region only those stamped DOP and have the certificate on the label are genuine.There is a good article at WWW.squido.com/canned-tomatoes.they did an independent test and found what i believe that Nina, and Pugliese won
Bill,I did not see any article on tomatoes at the link that VINNYB13 provided. Vinny is a food distributor and may have strong opinions on the best tomatoes to use, and he may even be selling those tomatoes, but as a Moderator who looks to keep the forum clean of posts that contain obvious self-serving advertising (other than by those who are Supporting Members), I am willing to give Vinny a chance to explain the point he is trying to make in this thread. Members who try to pump their own products and services on the forum do not get far. Peter

Is the health of a community related to the wellness of its citizens? Absolutely.
Healthy residents help sustain economic vitality. But everywhere, systems of care face common struggles to maintain collective health: costs that outpace value, the challenges of an aging population, an upsurge in chronic disease.
The search for a more efficient way to improve outcomes and deliver greater value has inspired Smarter Care, which emphasizes collaboration across the boundaries of government, social programs, life sciences, health plans and providers. Data—existing and new, from many sources—is shared and analyzed to reveal insights that can lead to community wellness.
Advanced analytics and cognitive computing can uncover valuable patterns related to life choices, social determinants and clinical factors. This knowledge is used to take a more holistic approach to individuals' care, and can lead to an evolution in care delivery with the potential for more effective outcomes and lower costs. If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, an ounce of perspective extracted from a ton of data is priceless in potential savings.
Smarter Care enables new business and financial models that encourage interaction among government and social programs, healthcare practitioners and facilities, insurers, employers, life sciences companies and citizens themselves. When all work together—to share knowledge and data, to understand risks within populations and the needs of individuals—wellness and community vitality can thrive.

Harbour porpoise
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is one of six species of porpoise. It is one of the smallest marine mammals. As its name implies, it stays close to coastal areas or river estuaries, and as such, is the most familiar porpoise to whale watchers. This porpoise often ventures up rivers, and has been seen hundreds of miles from the sea. The harbour porpoise may be polytypic, with geographically distinct populations representing distinct races: P. p. phocoena in the North Atlantic and West Africa, P. p. relicta in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, an unnamed population in the northwest Pacific and P. p. vomerina in the northeast Pacific.[3]
Etymology [edit]
The English word porpoise comes from the French pourpois (old French porpais, 12th century), which is from Medieval Latin porcopiscus, which is a compound of porcus (pig) and piscus (fish). The old word is probably a loan-translation of a Germanic word, cf. Danish marsvin and Dutch mereswijn (sea swine). Classical Latin had a similar name, porculus marinus, and the notion behind the name is probably a fancied resemblance of the snout to that of a pig or the sound of a porpoise breathing resembling a pig snort. The species is sometimes known as the common porpoise in texts originating in the United Kingdom. It is also called a "puffer" or "puffing pig" by fishermen in New England and eastern Canada.[4] The species' taxonomic name, Phocaena phocaena, is the Latinized form of the Greek φώκαινα, phōkaina, "big seal", as described by Aristotle; this from φώκη, phōkē, "seal".
Physical description [edit]
The harbour porpoise is a little smaller than the other porpoises, at about 67–85 cm (26–33 in) long at birth, weighing 6.4-10 kg. Adults of both sexes grow to 1.4 m to 1.9 m (4.6-6.2 ft). The females are heavier, with a maximum weight of around 76 kg (167 pounds) compared with the males' 61 kg (134 pounds). The body is robust, and the animal is at its maximum girth just in front of its triangular dorsal fin. The beak is poorly demarcated. The flippers, dorsal fin, tail fin and back are a dark grey. The sides are a slightly speckled, lighter grey. The underside is much whiter, though there are usually grey stripes running along the throat from the underside of the body.
Populations and distribution [edit]
The harbour porpoise species is widespread in cooler coastal waters of the North Atlantic, North Pacific and the Black Sea.[5] The populations in these regions are not continuous[4] and are classified as separate subspecies with P. p. phocoena in the North Atlantic and West Africa, P. p. relicta in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, an unnamed population in the northwest Pacific and P. p. vomerina in the northeast Pacific.[3][5] Recent genetic evidence suggests the harbour porpoise population structure may be more complex, and they should be reclassified.[6]
In the Atlantic, harbour porpoises may be present in a curved band of water running from the coast of West Africa to the coasts of Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and the eastern seaboard of the United States.[4][5] There is another band in the Pacific Ocean running from Sea of Japan, Vladivostok, the Bering Strait, Alaska and California.[4][5] The harbour porpoise has a global population of 700,000.[5] Areas with sizable numbers include the North Sea, where porpoises number about 350,000;[7] and well as the Gulf of Maine/Bay of Fundy area, the US west coast and Alaska.[8]
Natural history [edit]
Ecology [edit]
Harbour porpoises prefer temperate and subarctic waters.[4] They inhabit fjords, bays, estuaries and harbours, hence their name.[4] They feed mostly on small pelagic schooling fish, particularly herring, capelin, and sprat.[5] They will, however, eat squid and crustaceans in certain places.[5] This species tends to feed close to the sea bottom, at least for waters less than 200 m deep.[5] However, when hunting spat, porpoise may stay closer to the surface.[5] When in deeper waters, porpoises may forage for mid-water fish, such as pearlsides.[5] Harbour porpoises tend to be solitary foragers, but they do sometimes hunt in packs and herd fish together.[5] Young porpoises need to consume about 7% to 8% of their body weight each day to survive, which is approximately 15 pounds or 7 kilograms of fish. Significant predators of harbour porpoises include white sharks and killer whales (orcas). Researchers at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland have also discovered that the local bottlenose dolphins attack and kill harbour porpoises without eating them due to competition for a decreasing food supply.[9]
Behaviour and reproduction [edit]
Some studies suggest porpoises are relatively sedentary and usually don't leave a certain area for long.[5] Nevertheless, they have been recorded to move from onshore to offshore waters along coast.[5] Dives of 220m by harbour porpoises have been recorded.[5] Dives can last five minutes but typically last one minute.[10]
The social life of harbour porpoises is not well understood. They are generally seen as a solitary species.[4] Most of the time, porpoise are either alone or in groups of no more than five animals.[4] Porpoises mate promiscuously.[5] Males produce large amounts of sperm, perhaps for sperm competition.[5] Females, become sexually mature at by their third or fourth year and can calve each year for several consecutive years, being pregnant and lactating at the same time. The gestation of the porpoise is typically 10–11 months.[4] Most births occur in late spring and summer.[5] Calves are weaned after 8–12 months.[4]
Conservation [edit]
Harbour porpoises were traditionally hunted for food, as well as for their blubber, which was used for lighting fuel. The drive hunt in the Little Belt strait, Denmark, is the best known example. Thousands of porpoises were caught there until the end of the 19th century and again in smaller scale during the world wars.[11] Currently, however, this species is not subject to commercial hunting, but it is hunted for food and sold locally in Greenland. In prehistoric times, this animal was hunted by the Alby People of the east coast of Oland, Sweden.
The Harbour porpoise populations of the North Sea, Baltic Sea, western North Atlantic, Black Sea and North West Africa are listed on Appendix II[12] of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). This listing means that these populations have an unfavourable conservation status or would benefit significantly from international co-operation organised by tailored agreements.
In addition, the Harbour porpoise is covered by the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic, North East Atlantic, Irish and North Seas (ASCOBANS), the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) and the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Conservation of the Manatee and Small Cetaceans of Western Africa and Macaronesia (Western African Aquatic Mammals MoU).
Currently, the total population is in the hundreds of thousands and the harbour porpoise is not under threat of extinction. There are, however, a number of threats that impact population distribution and numbers.
Interactions with fisheries [edit]
The main threat to porpoises is static fishing techniques such as gill and tangle nets. Bycatch in bottom-set gill nets is considered the main anthropogenic mortality factor for harbour porpoises worldwide. Bycatch is reported from the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the east coast of the United States and Canada. Bottom-set gill nets are anchored to the sea floor and are up to 12.5 miles (20 km) in length. It is unknown why porpoises become entangled in gill nets, since several studies indicate they are able to detect these nets using their echolocation.[13][14] Porpoise-scaring devices, so-called pingers, have been developed to keep porpoises out of nets and numerous studies have demonstrated they are very effective at reducing entanglement.[15][16] However, concern has been raised over the noise pollution created by the pingers and whether their efficiency will diminish over time due to porpoises habituating to the sounds.[17]
Mortality resulting from trawling bycatch seems to be less of an issue, probably because porpoises are not inclined to feed inside trawls, as dolphins are known to do.
Climate change [edit]
An increase in the temperature of the sea water is likely to affect the distribution of porpoises and their prey, but has not been shown to occur. Reduced stocks of sand eel along the east coast of Scotland seems to have been the main reason for the malnutrition in porpoises in the area.
Overfishing [edit]
Overfishing may reduce preferred prey availability for porpoises. Overfishing resulting in the collapse of herring in the North Sea caused porpoises to hunt for other prey species. Reduction of prey may result from climate change, or overfishing, or both.
Noise pollution [edit]
Noise from ship traffic and oil platforms is thought to affect the distribution of toothed whales, like the harbour porpoise, that use echolocation for communication and prey detection. The construction of thousands of offshore wind turbines,planned in different areas of North Sea, is known to cause displacement of porpoises from the construction site,[18] particularly if steel monopile foundations are installed by percussive piling, where reactions can occur at distances of more than 20 km.[19] Noise levels from operating wind turbines are low and unlikely to affect porpoises, even at close range.[20][21]
Pollution [edit]
Marine top predators like porpoises and seals accumulate pollutants such as heavy metals, PCBs and pesticides in their fat tissue. Porpoises have a coastal distribution that potentially brings them close to sources of pollution. Porpoises may not experience any toxic effects until they draw on their fat reserves, such as in periods of food shortage, migration or reproduction.

By Pasadena (CA) Mayor Bill Bogaard
April 2, 2007
Worldwide attention is focused on Pasadena (CA) every New Year's Day during the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. Now, Pasadena is focusing its own attention on global environmental issues by changing our way of thinking and how we conduct our daily lives.
With the city council's unanimous approval in autumn 2006 of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, we adopted an action plan for creating a number of environmental improvements including pedestrian and bicycle-friendly amenities, green power, sustainable building practices, and alternative-fuel vehicles.
The United Nations Green Cities Declaration and Urban Environmental Accords include recommended actions for cities to take by 2012 to contribute to global efforts. In response, the city council recently adopted an ambitious and progressive five-year action plan with more than 70 initiatives for addressing global warming, reducing waste, protecting natural habitats, reducing risks to public health and more.
A team of city staff from departments across the board worked on the action plan for both of these important, long-term environmental commitments to determine which actions had been accomplished already and how many will be achieved in the future. These team members take information back to their department directors and other key staff, coordinate the information from a broad, interdepartmental perspective, and reconvene with updates.
Inspired by this broad framework and mindful of the power of the legislative process, our holistic platform for state and federal environmental policy includes important provisions that complement our green city action plan.
Pasadena has a tremendous asset for our environmental crusade – our accomplished and devoted citizens. Our new Environmental Advisory Commission, a group of city council-appointed volunteers with expertise in a number of related areas, is guiding and accelerating our progress. I am confident that this impressive group will result in new doors being opened for future resources and partnerships.
Recognizing the importance of maintaining our momentum, the city council approved funding a full-time environmental/sustainability planner to help implement our action plans, support the environmental advisory commission, conduct research on related issues and keep abreast of best environmental practices at the local, state and federal level.
One of Pasadena's hottest topics is sustainable development. Our Green Building Practices Ordinance, effective April 15, requires private and public buildings to be designed, rehabilitated and constructed according to the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system. We offer a wide range of incentives through Pasadena Water and Power, as well as LEED-related consulting services at no cost to applicants.
As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Pasadena Water and Power, our municipal utility, provides incentives that encourage sustainable practices. These incentives, ranging from $15,000 to $30,000, are approved on a first-come, first'served basis, and applicants are required to provide verification of LEED registration and a Pasadena building permit before incentive funds are reserved.
In support of these new requirements, we have been conducting free "going green" seminars since February 2007 with two customized tracks – one for residents and one for developers. Participants in these popular events learn how to incorporate techniques, maintenance and management into their homes, offices and daily lives. Topics for developers and building owners include the city's green building ordinance, the cost and benefits of building green, green tenant improvements, and green building maintenance and operations for the exterior and core; residents come away with knowledge about do-it-yourself green projects, landscaping for the environment and the importance of "big picture" thinking. In June of this year, the workshop series will culminate in a half-day tour of green buildings in Pasadena.
Understanding that our 2,300 municipal employees are equally responsible for our success in becoming a truly sustainable city, an innovative, online training module will soon raise awareness of what it means to be green and inspire them to be creative environmental stewards at city hall and at home.
We do not intend to develop our sustainable environment in a vacuum; indeed, our commitment is shared by many Pasadena institutions and corporations.
For example, Art Center College of Design recently conducted a sustainable mobility summit to address the devastating costs – social, environmental and economic – of maintaining our gas-powered, automobile-dependent society. The two-day event turned ideas into profitable solutions and facilitated constructive, real-world change.
Caltech's new Center for Sustainable Energy Research is developing technologies aimed at transforming the industrialized world from fossil fuel reliance to sun-powered. More energy from sunlight strikes the earth in one hour than all of the fossil energy consumed on the planet in a year. What is lacking is not the solar energy, but the science and engineering innovations that are needed to use it.
With Honda's recent announcements of new environmental technologies associated with their cars in the near future, it is even more exciting that the automaker's newest design studio opened its doors in Pasadena in December 2006.
As a mid'size urban community with world-renowned institutions and architecture, Pasadena is striving to be a model city that ensures a safe and sustainable environment for generations to come.
I am optimistic about our environmental future in Pasadena and other U.S. cities, especially knowing that green building programs and other sustainability measures are beginning to take hold in a growing number of jurisdictions.

Keeseville residents vote to dissolve village
Voters decided Tuesday to dissolve the Adirondack village of Keeseville, on the line between Essex and Clinton counties.
The vote was 268 in favor of dissolution to 176 opposed, village Mayor Dale Holderman told the Enterprise this morning.
"I've always preached democracy as the way to go," Holderman said. "The vote came out that people didn't want the government. Now they get their say."
Holderman said the village board will meet in February to draft a dissolution plan, which will spell out how village services will be taken over by the towns of Chesterfield in Essex County and AuSable in Clinton County through the creation of special taxing districts. The plan has to be completed in 180 days and then presented to the public.
If the public accepts the plan, village government would officially dissolve at the end of next year. About a half-dozen village jobs would end, although officials in the towns have said village workers would be given first priority for positions that come up.
Holderman had been opposed to dissolution. He said he was disappointed with the outcome of the vote.
"In our economic times, the first thing that happens when people think they're going to save money is to go after their government," he said. "This was their opportunity to speak their displeasure."
A dissolution study prepared by an outside consulting firm found taxes and special district fees would decrease for people whose homes are assessed at $100,000 or more, if dissolution was approved. People with homes assessed at $70,000 or less could see their taxes and fees rise after dissolution, the study found.
Keeseville isn't the only North Country village that's looked at the possibility of dissolution. In November, voters in the village of Malone defeated a dissolution proposal by an almost 2-to-1 margin. A dissolution vote in the village of Champlain in Clinton County will take place March 19.

Summary of the Novel
Jane Eyre, an orphan, lives with her abusive aunt, Sarah Reed, and her mean-spirited cousins, John, Eliza, and Georgiana, at Gateshead Hall.
She is sent away to the Lowood School where the conditions are very harsh. Jane befriends a fellow student, Helen Burns, and Miss Temple, a teacher. When Helen Burns dies, and Miss Temple marries, Jane decides to leave Lowood, and secures a job as a governess at Thornfield.
At Thornfield, Jane's duties are to teach the master's foster child Adele Varens. Although he has a brusque manner, Jane finds the master, Edward Fairfax Rochester, attractive and fascinating.
One night Jane is awakened by strange noises. Seeing smoke coming from Mr. Rochester's room, she runs in and throws water on the fire, awakening him. He leads Jane to believe that it is Grace Poole, a servant, who caused the damage.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rochester apparently pursues Blanche Ingram, a local beauty, while Jane's love for him continues to grow.
Jane leaves Thornfield to visit the dying Mrs. Reed, who tells her that John Eyre, her father's brother, is trying to contact her.
When Jane returns to Thornfield, Mr. Rochester switches his affections from Blanche to Jane, and proposes marriage. The wedding ceremony is interrupted by Mr. Briggs, who claims that Mr. Rochester is already married. The mad Bertha Rochester, who is locked away on the third floor of Thornfield, is exposed to Jane. Jane flees, and arrives at Moor House where she is taken in by St. John Rivers, a minister. Jane receives an inheritance from her uncle, John Eyre. St. John Rivers proposes marriage to Jane, but she declines since she still has Mr. Rochester on her mind.
Jane returns to Thornfield and discovers it has burned to the ground. It seems that Bertha Rochester set the fire and died in it, while Mr. Rochester suffered a mangled hand that had to be amputated and has been left blind. Jane reunites with Mr. Rochester at Ferndean, his current home, and they marry. Ten years pass, and Jane tells us how contented she is with married life, Mr. Rochester has regained partial vision in one eye, and they have a newborn son.
As an orphan, Jane's status is the lowest in the social class system. Because of her status (of which she is constantly reminded as a child) she strives to better herself through education and employment. During her struggles, Jane observes the other classes, including the religious zealots, with great insight and comes to recognize the many hypocrisies of the characters.
Emotionally, Jane is a lonely and ostracized child who recognizes her need for love and actively searches for it throughout her life, eventually finding her home with Mr. Rochester. Her search not only teaches her the true essence of love, but also enables her to raise her social position through hard work and the financial inheritance she receives.
Estimated Reading Time
Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters of varying length. It should take approximately 15 hours to read Jane Eyre.

Posted by Reviewer1893025 on Feb 03, 2012
I LOVE this product. I hope to never have to be without it. This product has greatly improved my energy level and also helps me tolerate scents better. I have Multiple Michale sensitivity and limit my exposure, but I am exposed in public places, other people's homes, etc. This condition is on top of asthma and many allergies. Since taking ChloroOxygen, the effects of such exposure has greatly diminished. I wish I could rate this product with more then 5 stars. I have noticed a dramatic change in my health. Also note worthy, it has improved my digestion.
Great product
Posted by Reviewer3015098 on May 19, 2009
I have only been using ChlorOxygen for 10 days now and take it usually in the mornings. At first, the taste was overwhelming and I did not like it - so I decreased the dosage until I could get used to the taste, which I did very shortly and now find it pleasant to take and even look forward to it. I have also increased my dosage to include most afternoons at lunch. I have noticed in this short period of time, increased energy, appetite suppressant in the mornings (not hungary for much breakfast). Body function odors disappear and I have a much easier time digesting the evening meal and have little to no heartburn while sleeping. I will definitely be continuing to use the product as I want to benefit even more in the months to come for a healthier system. One more worry gone is the fact I am eating my greens now!
ChorOxygen Offers relief to blood cancer patient
Posted by Reviewer3088328 on May 01, 2011
I offered it to my new grandfather-in-law to assist with his recently diagnosed blood cancer. He reports experiencing much better results than anything "those quacks" have to offer. At only $10/bottle it can, at the very least, be counted as the most effective placebo out there.
ChlorOxygen- good quality and practical
Posted by Reviewer2005298 on May 15, 2011
I have used Chlorophyll on and off for years as part of my health regime. For a couple on months 2 to 3 times a year I take it as part of a feel good cleanse. I have used many types but this is by far my favorite. You can tell the quality of the product is excellent and the best thing is it being in concentrate form and being able to use it as drops, its clean and easy and very practical. For years I was making a mess and staining close and clothes trying to get tea spoons full out of a bottle. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to any one, would not use any other my self now.
It makes a big difference
Posted by Reviewer2285457 on Apr 23, 2009
We're both over 60 and take ChlorOxygen twice a day. We've been taking it for more than two months and have seen a big difference in our energy levels as well as just feeling more motivated to tackle projects, both the day to day as well as additional activities. We highly recommend ChlorOxygen for people of any age who want to enjoy a high quality of life, day in and day out!
i got the energy
Posted by Reviewer1064435 on Jul 11, 2009
i drink 1 liter bottle of water with about 15-18 drops daily. from the first day, i could feel more energetic at work. not sure if it really works though, it makes me drink 1 litter of water at least. i already recommended to some friends and i'll get some more for my family soon.
I love this!
Posted by Reviewer1990022 on Feb 01, 2011
I can almost feel a bit of energy immediately upon taking this. I like to take it with a lot of water as I feel I absorb it better that way.
ChlorOxygen is wonderful
Posted by Reviewer1589571 on Mar 03, 2011
Tastes great (sort of like green tea but no acidity). I feel great and it helps my allergies.
use it every day
Posted by Reviewer3144367 on Jun 30, 2010
I use this product every day, sometimes twice a day. I get a boost of energy, especially in times of stress.
Posted by Reviewer2585155 on May 03, 2010
I really like this product. It's tasty and it definitely works. I head a headache when it arrived. When I drank this, it went away in a matter of minutes. So I expect it will have other positive effects, too.

Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties are two companies with consciences. It is that sense of morality that has put both those companies before the Supreme Court right now. These companies, in accordance to their understanding of right and wrong, do not want to be forced (by government mandate) to pay for employees' birth control and abortions.
Should the government have a say in a company's conscience?
Ben & Jerry's, the Vermont-based ice cream makers, have a conscience. Their mission has three parts: product, economic and social. Their social mission reads:
Our Social Mission compels us to use our Company in innovative ways to make the world a better place. To operate the company in a way that actively recognizes the central role that business plays in society by initiating innovative ways to improve the quality of life locally, nationally and internationally.

All the flavor.
Where's the fat?*
Sea salt & fresh ground pepper- the adam and eve of flavor without the guilt.
Think popped!
Lately all this low-fat health talk has been taking the fun right out of snacking. Not to mention the flavor. So we found a new way to put it back into an all natural chip like you've never tasted before.
Never fried. Never Baked.
We don't fry it (unhealthy).
We don't bake it (undelicious).
We start with wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, and pop! its a chip. Then we season it with the fines all-natural ingredients for a snack so tasty and crispy, you won't even notice it's (we hesitate to say) healthier.
Nothing fake or phony.
No fake colors, no fake flavors, no fluorescent orange fingertips, no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. No, really.

These are great, I like the original better but these would be a close second. I like food that is hot/spicy, if you don't though I'd steer clear as these pack a real peppery punch.

I love these chips, they are incredibly satisfying when you want some junk food but don't want as much fat and additives. The pepper makes these deliciously flavorful.

I usually stick pretty close to tradition but one of the others had zucchini, lemon and homemade sausage with ricotta put on after. the citrus and sausage is pretty dang good together. I've been trying to have a little more of a range to work through.
Beautiful. Did you like the zucchini pie? I've been thinking about one for next weekend.
made a few pies and some bread yesterday. last week our WF went from having no Buffala Mozz to having 2 different kinds - Tre Stelle and Garafolo, so I tried both. they were both 10 days or so away from sell-by so it was a good comparison. The Tre Stelle was super wet and tasted a little like cottage cheese. it melted nicely after I drained it well. the Garafolo is still my favorite. I thought I had some radishes to try on the fennel sausage pie but they were gone. i took a few pics....bill
thanks John,with some inspiration from Bill and Chau, I've worked on simplifying my bread baking method after starting out with Tartine. that was always completely by hand with numerous operations over several hours that yielded great loafs but took almost a whole day to do. My goal was to make the same bread with much less time in the kitchen, all at room temp without the proofing chamber. here's what I've been doing lately with consistent results:pre ferment - 200 g. water, 100g. KAAP, 100g. KAWW, 16g. ischia starter (very active). stir all that together and let it sit overnight.dough - 1300g. water, 400g. pre-ferment, mix to froth in bowl of SP-5 mixer, add 200g. KAWW, 1800g. KABF, mix until incorporated, wait 30 min, add 40g fine sea salt, mix to 82f. (about 5 min in my SP5), bench rest, do 1 stretch and fold, rest at RT for 1-1/2 hours, another stretch and fold, another 1-1/2 hours, and then I follow the tartine method, separating the dough into 4 balls, resting then balling and into baskets for 3 hours or so. I bake in WFO if I have the time to get it to 450 when I need it or in combo cooker like tartine for 20 with top on, 20 with top off with fan on. these were cooked inside. my version of lazy bread! bill

Golden Gate Seminary's 2008 Women's Leadership Conference
Strengthening the Leader Within You
"When Jesus was present during a tragedy, he spoke from his heart. He wept and shared emotions with the person going through the loss or painful experience," explained Deb Douglas as she taught the Ministering to Women in Crisis seminar during the Women's Leadership Conference held at Golden Gate Seminary on March 14 and 15. "He physically touched them, and allowed the person that was hurting to become a priority."
The room was filled with women attending the two-day Strengthening the Leader Within You Women's Leadership Conference. This particular seminar explained how to respond to hurting women and to learn practical tips to help. Douglas assured them that it's okay to not have all the answers.
One hundred and ten women came from all over the San Francisco Bay area to attend
six seminars taught by Chris Adams, national Southern Baptist Women's Ministry Leader for LifeWay Christian Resources. She was assisted by Deb Douglas, a conference/retreat speaker and Minister to Women at First Baptist Church in Bossier City, LA.
The conference was spearheaded by Helen Groat, Women's Network Coordinator at Golden Gate Seminary and Ann Iorg, wife of seminary president Dr. Jeff Iorg. "This year's conference was specifically designed to provide tools to help women lead in today's global setting," said Groat.
Jackie Nolen, whose husband was a Golden Gate student in the late 1960s, and whose
son is an adjunct Golden Gate professor, admits she came to the conference looking for spiritual renewal and encouragement. "Spiritually, it's a dynamic conference," she shared. "The information really hits home, especially the Emerging Cultures seminar on how to reach women from other cultures who live here. I'm getting lots of good ideas on how to approach my Muslim neighbor." She marveled at how she is living out the speaker's topic, "that the world is coming to us, and we don't have to travel to foreign lands to reach the unsaved."
Lorraine Combs, whose husband is in the Seminary's CLD program (Contextualized Leadership Development), is herself a student. She enjoyed the conference, her first. "My favorite seminar was Women in Crisis. It was very powerful, with a lot of take-aways, and I met some wonderful people." She was chatting with her newly-made friend Jania Fusilier, whose husband is also a seminary student. Fusilier agreed that the information was very helpful, and especially because she could apply it in her daily life.
The conference volunteers were impressed by the enthusiasm of those attending. "It's important for women to know how to effectively reach the women in their community," said registration chair Dawn Gary. "I was so pleased to have someone tell me 'This conference came at the right time for me.' And another woman said 'I was looking for something just like this.'"
Volunteer Elizabeth Howeth, decorations chair, was as enthusiastic as the attendees. "I appreciated that the leadership empowered me to do what I envisioned. I took the colors of the conference brochure and transformed the room." She noted that she wouldn't have typically thought of decorating as a ministry, "but it really made a difference in the presentation of the conference — it all came together with a feeling of welcome, warmth, and comfort." In the main room the round tables faced a wall of windows revealing the gorgeous panorama of the San Francisco skyline and the bay. "The view contributed to the feeling of a vacation, giving the attendees a feeling of refreshment," Howeth noted. "Connecting with God's gift of natural beauty allowed them to focus on their spiritual development, on worship and renewal."
LifeWay speaker Chris Adams summed up the purpose of the conference: "There is not a woman today who is a believer in Christ who does not have a place to serve. He has a calling for every woman to perform in Kingdom work, and it's our job to help them discover what that is."

Robert Rauschenberg (born 1925) was enticed to work at Gemini GEL in 1966. For Rauschenberg, Tyler's promise that scale was not a problem was assurance enough. He decided to make a life–sized self–portrait—an X–ray in the nude except for a pair of large boots. This X–ray became the key element for the print Booster of 1967. Its groundbreaking size required the use of two lithographic stones placed in the press one after the other, with the paper run through twice to complete the image.
Booster remains one of the most significant prints made in the 20th century, helping to take printmaking into a new era in which prints were to rival paintings in invention and size.

The Top Of His Game
Thursdays during the football season are traditionally long days for members of the Jamestown High School football team. There are academic classes, followed immediately by practice, followed immediately by their weekly team dinner.
By the time early evening rolls around – and about the time dessert is served – the players are having a good time, and Coach Tom Langworthy and his staff can finally take a deep breath, fresh in the knowledge that their preparation is over and the game plan is complete.
Kickoff is 24 hours away.
Last fall, however, senior Zachary Eklum brought a new element to Thursday nights.
"I'd look over," said a still-amazed Langworthy the other day, "and Zach's got his books out, studying."
- ? ?
The Frank Hyde Memorial Scholarship requires that applicants provide the following information: address, date of birth, college and career plans, etc.; sports accomplishments, both team and individual; extra-curricular activities, both in out and out of school; a scholastic record; and three letters of recommendation.
Zach, much like he did during team dinners last fall, came prepared, and this spring submitted quite a resume to the scholarship committee. It was so good, in fact, that he has been chosen the recipient of the 29th annual award, which is given in honor of the former Post-Journal sports editor.
The $1,000 scholarship, which was presented to Zach last night during graduation ceremonies at Chautauqua Institution, is awarded to the outstanding college-bound athlete from the newspaper's circulation area, which covers Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Warren counties.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Zach Eklum would be a worthy recipient of the Frank Hyde Memorial Scholarship," Langworthy said.
Zach's accomplishments confirm that. In the classroom, in athletics and in the community, he has always been at the top of his figurative game.
Some of his more notable achievements include: 2013 Section 6 qualifier and Class AA champion in varsity wrestling; 2012 Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association singles champion in varsity tennis; recipient of WIVB Channel 4's February 2013 scholar-athlete award; recipient of the Fessenden, Laumer and DeAngelo scholar-athlete of the week and scholar-athlete of the fall awards; recipient of the JHS student-athlete of the week award; a nomination for the National High School Coaches Association March athlete of the month award; and the 2013 Section 6 New York Athletic Administrators Association student-athlete scholar.
Although he played just one year of varsity football, Zach was honored numerous times for his success in the classroom and on the gridiron. The highlights include: the 2012 Red Raider Unsung Hero award; Business First's academic first team, which honors the top 25 seniors in the eight WNY counties; the New York state student scholar-athlete of the year; and the all-Western New York scholar-athlete award.
"That's just what you come to expect," Langworthy said. " … He's done a fantastic job balancing all the different priorities in his life. That says a lot about him and his family. They definitely raised a great kid."
In the classroom, Zach, the JHS valedictorian, received numerous honors, including: the AP scholar with distinction; JHS student of the month, as a freshman and as a junior; Jamestown Community College's College Connections student of the year; American Legion Boys State delegate; the Harry E. Kline Excellence in Chemistry award; the University of Rochester Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science award; and a nomination to attend a National Youth Leadership Forum on medicine.
Zach's community service activities are also impressive, highlighted by more than 100 volunteer hours to the following: Wounded American Soldier benefit for Johnny Stanz; St. John's Italian Festival; the American Diabetes Association; the National Heart Association; the Blind Association; Read Across America; Hands on Jamestown; Jamestown elementary school fun fairs; and Ring Elementary School's Parent-Teacher Association.
"This young man has been able to excel in athletics and academics while still giving back to his school and his community," said state Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, R-C-I-Chautauqua County, in his letter of recommendation. "As class president and a key contributor to many other activities at school, he demonstrated not only leadership but caring for his school and classmates. It is especially commendable that this busy and committed scholar-athlete found countless hours to volunteer and give back to his community through many worthy organizations."
- ? ?
Zach plans to attend SUNY Fredonia to study biology/chemistry, and subsequently attend SUNY Upstate Medical University to become a medical doctor where he has already been accepted into its rural medicine program.
"His future is bright," wrote JHS principal Dr. Mike McElrath in his letter of recommendation. "He is certainly deserving of this award and would be a fine addition among those who have been recognized before."
