By Gary Arrington
With high school region re-alignment happening next school year, it is unfortunate that there is potential that the Carbon-Emery sports contests could go away.
The recent basketball game between the two schools was all anyone needs to see why this rivalry should continue. One needs to forget the final outcome of the game and instead, one needs to concentrate on the atmosphere inside the arena, as it was great and loud and exciting.
The fans of the two teams started arriving early as the sophomore contest and the JV contest are always exciting in their own right. With the Spartan Center filling with fans, with students and bands and with players, one would expect a great time and one would not be disappointed on this night.
The Emery student section was a wave of yellow while the Carbon student section was a wave of blue and white. And then the students cheered for their teams before, during and after the game as all had a good time.
Residents of the two counties showed up for the game that maybe you do not see out at a ball game any other time of the year as alumni filled the adult sections of the stands.
Half time was equally as fun as the two schools drum lines put on another show that upped the emotion and the noise in the building. Although one could tell that the Carbon drummers were maybe just a little more polished, it was good competition and the two lines left the floor as friends.
Carbon and Emery football and basketball is fun. People come out, money is spent and every one has a great time. This needs to continue, if not as region partners then in the preseason or as a non-league game at the end of the season. These two teams need to play each other.
These games are what high school sports is really all about. Everyone cheering and having a great time. Every one supporting their high school and their team.
The stands being full and the fans being loud and raucous. And then talking about it the next day at work with all your buddies and work partners from the other school.
Carbon versus Emery, keep it up.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 14:24-32
The LORD of hosts has sworn: "As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand, that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains trample him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder." This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back? In the year that King Ahaz died came this oracle: "Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod which smote you is broken, for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder, and its fruit will be a flying serpent. And the first-born of the poor will feed, and the needy lie down in safety; but I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant I will slay. Wail, O gate; cry, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks." What will one answer the messengers of the nation? "The LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge."

Above: Business professor Dr. Jorge Villegas studies emotion in advertising.
Make a Difference for Business Students
Your gift in any amount to the funds below provide support for undergraduate business students. You can use the Donate button to give online. Thank you!
- Business Administration Program Fund
- Scholarship Funds
Marine Bank Scholarship Fund (An Access Illinois Matched Scholarship)
Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship (An Access Illinois Matched Scholarship)
Brad and Jennifer Ward Scholarship (An Access Illinois Matched Scholarship)
Kent Weber Scholarship
Joe Wilkins Veterans Scholarship
Eugene R. and Elaine A. Wilkinson Scholarship
- Create Your Own Fund
Business Administration Program Fund
This fund provides money for special opportunities or extraordinary needs.
- Faculty and students can travel to a conference to present their research.
- Faculty can take part in a special opportunity to update their skills. Professors need to be aware of the latest developments in their field, so that they can pass this knowledge on to their students.
- The department can purchase special equipment, test materials, resources, or training modules to help our students attain success and achieve their goals.
These activities and others like them enrich our students immeasurably, enhancing the education they receive at UIS—but we could not do any of them without the discretionary money given to this fund.
Scholarship Funds
Marine Bank Scholarship Fund
Marine Bank takes an active role in building central Illinois and the people at Marine Bank want to make our communities better places to live because they live here, too. The Marine Bank Scholarship at UIS, which Marine Bank has pledged to fund for the next five years, is one way they are sharing their resources to meet community needs. The scholarship will be awarded to a qualified undergraduate in the Business Administration program, and because it qualifies for the Access Illinois match, its impact will be doubled each year.
Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship
This is indeed a family affair! WWII veteran and IBM lifetime achievement officer, Paul Snodgrass had an early affinity for UIS (then Sangamon State University) as demonstrated by his monetary contribution for SSU's initial land acquisition. However, no one could have known back then how Paul's early affection for UIS would blossom into a family legacy that is still affecting the lives of students today. In 1982, Mr. Snodgrass earned his MABA of Business from SSU, where his wife had earlier received her bachelor and master degree in communication. All three of the Snodgrass children earned bachelor degrees from U of I in Urbana, and two went on to complete their Master degrees from SSU. Additionally, two of the Snodgrass children also married graduates of SSU. When Mr. Snodgrass died on February 27, 1998 – less than one week after his 71st birthday – it was his IBM family who established the Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship at UIS in his honor, acknowledging his tireless dedication to the university. The scholarship has since been funded by the Snodgrass family for permanent endowment to benefit students in UIS' business administration and management programs and because it is now an Access Illinois Matched Scholarship, awards from the scholarship will be doubled for the next ten years.
Brad and Jennifer Ward Scholarship
Brad and Jennifer Ward met on their first day together at UIS–Brad helped Jennifer set up her printer. Jennifer was a history major in the teacher education major. She went on to teach in Indianapolis before staying home with the couple's daughter. Brad started as a computer major but switched to business, adding an eclectic mix of marketing and communication courses. Today, with his partner, he runs a leading consulting business helping colleges and universities with online marketing. With this scholarship, which qualifies for the Access Illinois Match Program, Brad and Jen become some of the youngest scholarship donors UIS has ever had. The match program provides an unexpected benefit for them. They can give the first scholarship to business (for Brad) and the second (the matched scholarship) to teacher education (for Jennifer).
Kent Weber Scholarship
For those students taking online courses to pursue a Business or Management degree at UIS because they live so far away, or for those students who have travelled many miles outside of Central Illinois to attend UIS in pursuit of a Business or Management degree, this scholarship has you in mind. The Kent Weber Scholarship, established in 1994, has the notable stipulation that the recipient's permanent residence must be outside of the following 26 Central Illinois counties: Brown, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Dewitt, Fulton, Greene, Logan, Macon, Macoupin, Madison, Mason, Mclean, Menard, Montgomery, Morgan, Moultrie, Peoria, Piatt, Pike, Sangamon, Schuyler, Scott, Shelby, Tazewell and Woodford. In addition to the applicant's permanent residence being outside the 26-county Central Illinois area, eligible persons must also be an undergraduate Business or Management major and a U.S. citizen.
Joe Wilkins Veterans Scholarship
Joseph Wilkins was involved in national and international business organizations and lectured at professional conferences all over the world including England, Germany, Sweden and France. The Joe Wilkins Veterans Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to graduate or undergraduate Business or Management majors in good academic standing. Preference given to Management majors of merit and financial need is taken into consideration with applicants of equal merit.
Eugene R. and Elaine A. Wilkinson Scholarship
Where else would a future structural engineer and a double-major in Business and Education meet but in Harvard? Harvard, Illinois, that is! Eugene and Elaine Wilkinson met in their hometown of Harvard. Mr. Wilkinson served four years in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and later attended the University of Illinois, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. He spent his engineering career with Hanson Professionals having served as President, CEO and Chairman of the Board before retiring in 2001. Mrs. Wilkinson obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Education from Northern Illinois University and was a high school Business teacher for many years. She later switched careers and served in the computer software industry where she advanced to Vice-President of Marketing before her retirement in 1997. The Eugene R. and Elaine A. Wilkinson Scholarship was established in 2007 is awarded annually to one student in Business Administration and one student in Management Information Systems.

Hi everyone,
I'm a PhD candidate in Early Christianity at Duke. Despite knowing Stephen Carlson for several years, I didn't hear about this group until last Sunday, when Jonathan Robie came to my Greek Sunday School class and told me about it.
I think my ability to read the Greek NT is reasonable, but my ability to discuss the fine points of its grammar is not. Looks like this forum will be the perfect place to get up to speed in that!

By SYLVIA NELSONStaff, Emery County Progress
Once again history is being made at the Pioneer Museum in Castle Dale. The history of this museum has had roller coaster highs and lows ever since its inception in 1968. Right now the museum is closed for repair. The breaking of ceiling water pipes has caused extensive damage to the Farm Room and also to the Castle Dale City office directly below and some damage to the swimming pool area as well.
Emery County Museum Director, Dixon Peacock, is not only concerned about getting the damage repaired, the heat back on, and reopening the museum in a timely manner, but is concerned about the cost of the repairs and the future funding to help keep this facility maintained and open.
"The board is looking into reinstating a membership program to be able to have funds that can be counted on every year," said Peacock. "Emery County helps with the insurance and other major refurbishings. We have been able to get some grants now and then, some through the county, mostly through the city."
The building is owned by Castle Dale City and is on the National Historic Registry. Right now there also needs to be some extensive window replacement and repair. The board is looking in many directions to get help for these costs.
Peacock has been on the board from the beginning. The Pioneer Museum originated with the discovery of mummified bodies of an Indian woman and child of the early Fremont culture. Don Burge from the College of Eastern Utah was brought to the site and these mummies were excavated. There were also four men in Emery County who had individual collections of artifacts who desired to have a safe and nice place to display their collections. Peacock approached County Commissioner, Gardell Snow, asking for financial help to start a museum.
Peacock and LeRoy Maxfield approached the County Junior Chamber of Commerce (J.C.s) to see if they would help. Gary Petty of Emery, and Boyd Snow (formerly of Huntington) and members helped tremendously, working long hours to prepare the procured building and Jim Jewkes, Pete Jones, Sharpe Snow, LaVon Day, Danny Cox, Kelly Kofford, Kimball Larsen, as well as Peacock and Maxfield did fundraising house-to-house asking for only $1.00 per family and selling scrap metal including the old radiators no longer used. Clyde Funk of Ferron stripped and redid all the walls. Murals were later painted by Donald and Elizabeth Pyper of Orangeville who used egg yolks for their media paint base from eggs donated by Ann Wissler. The J.C.s worked on the grounds, planted lawn, and later put in a sprinkling system and were successful in a drive asking the businesses to donate asphalt for the front street. The next major project was repair of the roof. All the wives of the J.C. members also played a major role, supporting and working along with their husbands.
After the foyer was finished, work began on the show cases that are still in use today. Parker Childs of Castle Dale, designed and made these cases at his home. The Green Thumb Project workers assembled and set them up. Special ordered quarter inch glass was obtained and transported from Salt Lake City.
On Dec. 4, 1969, a motion to grant a 90 year lease to the J.C.s for the second floor for the museum was made by Councilmember, John Jorgensen, and seconded by Councilmember, Clyde Thompson, afterwhich a museum board was formed: Dixon Peacock was Chairman of the Board, members were Boyd Snow, Mrs. Dora Otterstrom, W. H. Maxfield, Owen McClenahan, Carlyle Jones, and Ira Hatch.
Later, Ann Wissler who had 20 years experience at a museum in San Bernadino, Calif., became a board member. Mrs. Wissler spent hundreds of volunteer hours at the museum, keeping it open regular hours, and even on Saturdays and Sundays to accommodate travelers passing through. She cleaned, arranged, greeted people, and gave tours. She loved her work, and gave 17 years of service retiring in 1986. Her husband, Ira (Ike) Wissler, also spend countless hours volunteering to restore tables, chairs, and other antique furniture given or loaned for display. Many articles were in such bad condition that new parts had to be made. Some 25 or more of these articles are still on display.
On Nov. 6, 1986, when Mrs. Wissler retired, two new board members were installed, Jon Judd and Brenda Tucker.
Owen McClenahan, deceased, is recognized for the his dedicated volunteer service of 18 years. He assisted people at the museum, and helped with all phases of the Green Thumb construction. It was a two-year effort on McClenahan's part to qualify the museum for tax exempt status. His wife, Jane, was such a support and help to the board by doing all the typing and correspondence. Every board meeting was held at the McClenahan home in Castle Dale, with Mrs. McClenahan preparing and serving lovely homemade treats. Owen retired on June 3, 1989.
After the wall displays were completed, lighting was donated by the then American Coal Company, Shirl McArthur, founder and president.
In about 1969, the museum board was able to obtain a dinosaur to be placed in the foyer from the University of Utah. Green Thumb workers constructed the platform and the dinosaur was delivered and set up through the efforts of Glen Ungerman in February of 1970.
The board set a projection date of opening the museum for May 1, 1970. The walls, ceiling, and wiring had to be finished in the Pioneer Room before the opening. An all-out drive for funds was also being conducted. The board wanted new drapes and carpeting to make the museum presentable to the public. They offered a life-time membership for $100. Seventy one memberships were obtained and others were awarded to individuals for their labor, work, or contributions of materials to the museum. The Pioneer Room was the only complete room at the opening. A required fire escape exit was also completed at that time.
The Farm Room was second. Work was slow because funding was slow. Board members came and went in the feeling of futility of keeping the museum alive.
Gene and Virginia Talbot of Ferron came to the museum in 1986. They were very knowledgable in mineralogy and dinosaur bones and helped with countless projects. A hand cart, an oxen yoke, and interesting antique tools were acquired. Later, old mining equipment and safety lamps were displayed in a simulated mine portal, most of which was donated by Earl and Hilma Robertson of Orangeville who owned a mine on Trail Mountain. A restroom was built in one corner of that room, nearly depleting the balance of funds.
Green Thumb workers did all the volunteer work, but materials had to be available for them to work with. Many times, because of the lack of funds, there were no materials to keep the men busy.
With the hiring of women on the Green Thumb project, the museum was able to be open on a regular basis, as long as funds permitted.
The Daughter of the Utah Pioneers headed up by board member, Dora Otterstrom, and with the help of Ann Wissler and many volunteers made many quilts and bonnets for sale. Funds of various amounts were received from the county each year. Goals were set and completed until all rooms were furnished.
There is an old Co-op Store upstairs from the foyer, displaying dry goods, eggs, clothing, dishes, and items no longer in use in homes today. Many of the show cases in this room were actually from the old Castle Dale Co-op Store.
There is a class room filled with old desks, a real slate black board, and items and books used by students of the past. Funding for this room was from the county in the form of vouchers paid after the fact, and from the Chamber of Commerce when Gerald Stanton was president in 1984.
The last room to be worked on was the Red Room. The ceiling was falling in and had to be completely redone. Ceiling, walls, new wiring, lighting, and new carpets and draperies were purchased. It took over two years to complete this room.
Meetings of the board were held only when needed for a while and the board was re-organized on June 3, 1989. In recent years, the museum has been operated by the Emery County Historical Society, but is still managed by an active museum board.
Presently serving on the museum board are Dixon Peacock, Director; Jan Petersen, Executive Director; Dawnette Tuttle, Financial Secretary; Randy Jensen, Grant Writing and Funding; Gene Talbot, Dixie Swasey, Mark H. Williams, Pete Jones, Technical Support, who's wife, Kathryn, gives support at every event, and Clifford Oviatt who is the Display Coordinator. This board is also responsible for the Museum of the San Rafael, where all of the natural history items and artifacts of the original Pioneer Museum are now housed.
Displays at the Pioneer Museum are rotated periodically to utilize some stored items. At one time the museum had been given or loaned seven antique washing machines, nine sewing machines, and so many mining tools and farm implements that there was not even storage room for them all. Many who loaned items are now deceased and so beneficiaries have been contacted and some have come to reclaim family items that were loaned. The Farm Room has been redone for more and better displaying and the storage room has been fitted with more adequate shelving.
As many as eleven schools send classes from pre-school to junior high students every year for tours. The junior high students are given a paper asking questions and are later tested on their observation of the tour. Usually tours are conducted by Bert Oman or another member of the board. Oman gives a detailed lecture and demonstrates many of the items displayed.
On the platform, where the dinosaur stood before moving across the street to the natural history museum, different items are spotlighted about every month, such as spinning wheels, dresses, old and rare books, each set up with other items of similar interest. There is always something new of interest to see of the old and the past with each visit to the Pioneer Museum.
Your contributions can be earmarked for repair, or restoration and preservation, or to help with a special display or exhibit. To volunteer your time or talents, or items to the Pioneer Museum, call 435-381-5154, or contact Dixon Peacock at 748-2672. Send donations to P. O. Box 1088, Castle Dale, Utah, 84513.

Last week Helper added a pair of wins to their record with a 11-3 win over Murray at home. They also beat East 11-3 and Taylorsville 14-5 to take their league record to 5-0 on the season.
On June 15, Helper played Murray at home and won 11-3. Dylan Vogrinec started on the mound and pitched five solid innings. Jaren McCourt came in in relief for the final two innings.
Bradon Bolotas had a double and a single. Keny Seals had a double and a homer. Daniel Peczuh added a couple singles.
"Overall we played a good game and everyone got a chance to play and contribute." commented Coach Jeff Cisneros.
On Wednesday they traveled to Hunter, but were only able to play two complete innings before the rain postponed the game Helper led 10-0 after two. They will finish the game up at a later date.
Then Helper headed back SLC to play East and get their second 11-3 in a week.. Hayden Basinger threw five solid innings. Gage Bigelow came in for the final two.
Cisneros summed up the game, "We started out slow but picked up our intensity and finally put East away. Kash Jewkes, Peczuh and Seals all had multiple hits. We played very solid on defense and this was good win for us. The win puts us at 4-0 league play and tied for first with Taylorsville."
Helper grabbed the top spot in the league with a win over Taylorsville on Monday night. That game was between the only two undefeated team in the league.
Taylorsville started off with a pair of runs to open it up. Helper countered by cutting the lead in half when Basinger went deep as the lead off batter. Taylorsville put up two more with a homer in the second. But it was the third inning when Helper torched the starting pitcher for Taylorsville with eight runs and knocked him out of the game. They never looked back. The final score ended up 14-5 in favor of Helper.
Bolotas pitched the entire game. He was backed up with some pretty good defense, but the story of the night was Helper's hitting.
They ended up with 16 hits on the night. Basinger had a double and a homerun. Tamllos had a double and two singles, Jewkes had a double and a single, Peczuh had a double, Rich had a double and a single and Josh Dension had a double and a single.
Cisneros was pleased, "When you hit like that you are going to win a lot of games. This was a great win against a team that is known for their baseball. The win puts us at 5-0 in the league and in first place by ourselves."
"Overall it was a good week, we had good pitching, we played good defense and we swung a pretty good bat.Everyone is getting some time and it seems like we are constantly getting better." stated Cisneros. Helper American Legion took third in the Helper tournament. Coach Jeff Cisneros said, "On June 23 we played Granger at home. This was a league game and we won 10-3. Josh Denison started on the mound and was relieved by Dylan Vogrinec. Josh struggled a bit and a lot of that was due to the fact that he had not pitched for a week or two. Dylan came in and did a nice job and got the win. Our bats started off very slow but we started to pick it up in the third inning. We scored four runs in the third and six more in the fourth. We had the bases loaded in the fifth and sixth innings but did not score. Kash Jewkes and Beau Rich each had a pair of singles and both of them have really been hitting the ball well as of late. Keny Seals had two doubles and Daniel Peczuh had a single and a homerun. The win moved us to 6-0 in league play and got us ready to start out the tournament on Thursday.
"Thursday started our tournament. We played Kearns and beat them 6-0. This was a very well played game and Beau Rich pitched a complete game and did a great job. Beau really kept Kearns guessing all night and we played good defense behind him. Our bats were a little quiet too as the Kearns pitcher did a a great job also. Beau Rich and Daulton Nelson each had a double and we broke the game open with four runs in the seventh inning. Daniel Peczuh had a two run homerun in that inning. This was another good win against a good Kearns team that we had beaten earlier in the year by a score of 6-3. The win kicked off a pretty good weekend of games.
"Friday nights game was against Highland. This a tournament game but it also counted as a league game. The first thing about Friday was the crowd size. It was huge and I want to thank everyone who came out not only on Friday but all the days. The support we had for all of our games and the support for the Price team was great and I want to say thank you. The home crowd was treated to a game that was kind of lopsided and we beat Highland 15-1. Everyone contributed in scoring runs as we pounded out 14 hits. The biggest thing about Friday nights performance was the pitching performance of Gage Bigelow. Gage struck out 10 batters and did not allow a hit. The game was shorted by the nine run rule but still this was a no hitter and great performance by Gage. A diving catch in centerfield by Julian Tamllos helped preserve the no hitter. This was a good win and it ran our league record to 7-0. We currently sit alone in first place in the Salt Lake Valley League.
"Saturday nights game was in my opinion between the two best teams in the tournament. Utah's Perfect Game (UPG) is a team made up of kids from Lehi, Maple Mountain, Jordan and Lone Peak High schools. They are not a American Legion team but rather a team that travels and plays in tournaments. The game however was pretty sloppy as both teams combined for 11 errors. Colter Moore started on the mound and ran into trouble in the third inning. UPG scored five times in the first three innings. Not all Colter's fault as we failed to play very good defense for him. We committed four errors to contribute to their five runs. Bradon Bolotas came on to pitch and Clint Finkbiner closed out the game on the mound. UPG scored five more times over the next four innings and won by a score of 10-6. Even though we scored six runs our bats never really got going. We had seven hits, but they were all singles. We left the bases loaded in the third inning and again in the fifth inning. This was good team for us to play and they went on to the win the Championship of the tournament with a win over Kearns on Sunday. Playing teams like this will definitely help us prepare for the upcoming state tournament. Even though we lost there were many good things that we did and a lot of things that we learned where we can do better. The lost put us in the third and fourth place game for the tournament.
"Sundays game had us originally set up to play Western Slope Colorado but because of scheduling issues we played Cyprus. We beat Cyprus 15-6 by the nine run rule to finish in third place for the tournament. A lot of guys saw action in Sundays game and even though we had some errors and mental mistakes I was pleased with the way we came back after losing Saturday night. Cyprus is currently in third place in the SLV league and we will be playing them a league game in a couple of weeks back here in Helper. It was important for us to show them what will be waiting when they come back and I was very happy with the win. Seth Tryon had a homerun as did Colter Moore. Clint Finkbiner had a pair of singles and Kash Jewkes had a single and a double. Dylan Vogrinec started on the mound and picked up the win and Josh Denison bounced back and pitched two solid innings as well.
"Overall I was very pleased with the tournament. Again the local support was tremendous. I saw a lot of good things throughout the weekend and that included the play from the Price Legion Team. In every one of their games they showed that they can play with some of the bigger programs and really hold their own. Nico Velasquez and Anthony Montoya made the all-tournament team from Price and they really played well. Our play was good at times and bad at times, but that is baseball. We need to continue to get better and we jump back into league games this week with a game at West. Our next home game will be July 6 at 7 pm with Taylorsville U17. Daniel Peczuh and Julian Tamllos made the all-tournament team from our team and because of his pitching performance Friday night Gage Bigelow received the gold glove award. It was a good tourney and I look forward to next year," said Coach Cisneros.

Cute, but not for me....
"The shoe has the style and color I was looking for, but it doesn't agree with my foot. I tried to have them stretched to no avail.I will be giving these away and try to find another cute navy shoe."

Too tight at toes, too loose at heel
"Needed classy, professional heels, and wedges were my preference since I walk three blocks from the parking garage to my office in downtown for work.I bought two pairs in black and burgundy at 1/2 size larger after reading the reviews of the toe area being tight. However, this didn't solve the problem. The toe area is extremely tight (and I have and love pointy shoes) and my heels still slipped out. The shoe is oddly sized and not comfortable at all despite being wedges."

Gorgeous look but painful
"When I first took it out of the box, I fell in love. The color is so rich. Even though it is a wedge it is not bulky or heavy. You can dress the shoe to the office or a date night. When I tried it on, my heart broke! The front is very narrow. If you have a medium or wide foot, it will be too tight. Had to return them. Bummer..."

Amerian Standard will split the install cost when pigs fly over the Empire State Building.
: : :Have you tried to directly contact American Standard? Maybe they have a technology to fix it.
: : Unfortunatley, everyone will probably try to bail out on a "material only" warranty, no labor. That's why if there is any possibility of a suitable repair, it should be investigated.
: Jimbo, as a contractor I know like all other contractors manufacturers like A. O. SMITH are prone to failure.
: So to make up for their short comings of these folks most contractors have to figure in a fudge factor.
: AO Smith sold my supplier who then sold me a new 76 gallon H/W heater that was a "leaker" from the giddy yup.
: After weeks of arguing these slobs offered my a lousy $125.00 Which by the way doesn't even come close to my hourly rate.
: Instead I went with Bradford white a real reputable company.
: Any contractor knows his reputation is only as good as his/her last job.
: Do the job right for someone they tell three people DO IT Wrong and they tell everyone.
: BUT what happens if a product is defectivew WHO EATS THE TIME?
: I am sure the contractor is going to do the honorable thing and replace the tub no matter what it takes to make the account a happy camper AND Americast I am sure will want to do the right thing and split the recall cost with the contractor UNLIKE AO Smith

Even though Halloween is technically tonight, famous people (like the rest of us), have jobs on Monday! So time to celebrate early, with a gallery of our favorite stars and their bizarre, intricate, and sometimes downright lazy costume choices. Rachel Zoe didn't even bother to get dressed up this year, d'oi. Vinny and Pauly D. from the Jersey Shore went as "normal people." And we're not really sure what Kendra Wilkinson or Carmen Electra are doing, but it scares us. Check it out!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Emery High held its commencement exercises on May 23. Studentbody president Jaicelyn Shakespaere led the pledge of allegiance. Class president Lauren Clarke welcomed the audience of family and friends.
One-hundred thirty-five graduates received diplomas. Clarke said this class of seniors is very extraordinary. There were 13 academic all-state awards. Senior Tappan Draper helped the baseball team to their first state championship since 1982. Andi Smith has been awarded a scholarship to play softball at San Diego State University. More than $223,410 in scholarship money has been awarded to these seniors. The dedication of the seniors showed in the Sterling Scholar competition where three students won their divisions including Rachel Roberts, Tyler Pulli and KC Kofford. There were five runner-ups in the competition. The student council raised funds for worthy causes. "Thanks to the faculty and to Mr. Davis. They support us in everything we do. They want us to succeed. We stand out because we are Spartans," said Clarke.
Salutatorian Bryson Hales said, "begin with the end in mind." Everyone needs to have a direction to go in. A sailboat without a sailor is at the mercy of the wind, blowing it in one direction and then the other. Up until this point in the education process there have been many guides including parents and teachers to help the students go in the right direction, but now it's up to the students to chart their own course. "There is nothing, we cannot achieve, begin with the end in mind."
Hales told the story of Glenn Cunningham. Cunningham's legs were very badly burned in an explosion caused in his one room school house when he was eight and his brother Floyd was 13. Floyd died from his injuries in the fire. When the doctors recommended amputating Glenn's legs, he was so distressed his parents would not allow it. The doctors predicted he might never walk normally again. He had lost all the flesh on his knees and shins and all the toes on his left foot. Also, his transverse arch was practically destroyed. However, his great determination, coupled with hours upon hours of a new type of therapy, enabled him to gradually regain the ability to walk and to proceed to run. It was in the early summer of 1919 when he first tried to walk again, roughly two years after the accident. He had a positive attitude as well as a strong religious faith. Cunningham won the Sullivan medal in 1933 for his various running achievements in middle distance. In the 1932 Olympics he took fourth place in the 1500 m, and in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, he took silver in the 1500 meters. In 1934, he set the world record for the mile run at 4:06.8, which stood for three years. In 1936, he set the world record in the 800 m run. In 1938, he set a world record in the indoor mile run of 4:04.4.
Hales said to do something every day to move you closer to your goal. Rome wasn't built in a day and things take time. Bob Ross starts with a blank canvas when he paints and adds detail one brush stroke at a time. He does this until the painting comes to life. We should approach our goals in the same way and add to it until our goals are reached. Set your goals with the end in mind. Do not let anyone else choose who you will be. "We are our own blank canvas," said Hales.
Logan Tuttle, honor student, told the story of a boss of a large company calling an employee. The phone was answered by a small boy who was whispering. He said his dad couldn't come to the phone and his mom couldn't come to the phone. Pretty soon the boss heard sirens at the home and he asked the little boy what was going on. The boy said in his whisper. "They're looking for me." Let's not be like the boy in the story, Don't hide from opportunity. Don't head in blind folded. A quote says, I would rather reach for the stars and hit a stump, than aim for a stump and miss. Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. As we leave Emery High on our way to college, work or missions. Our link to the past is our key to the future. People often worry about what the future has in store. Of what people worry about, 40 percent of those worries never happen, 30 percent have already happened and you need to let go of it and forgive; 12 percent are needless worries; 10 percent are petty and unimportant worries and of the 8 percent of the worries left 4 percent of that you can't change and 4 percent is a result of our own actions and the consequences that follow. We can be what we want to be. Tell the world, we need not fear the future, because we are the future.
Leedan Johnson, honor student, said the last four years have been long. All the graduates have had choices to make. Some may choose to change the world and he admires what they've accomplished. There are many in the class who deserve recognition. Maybe they have waved or smiled at him and made his day better. He said he owes a little of who he is to all the other graduates. Some people may change the world and have their names written in a book, but others are happy to write their names in the hearts of others. Johnson said he wants to live and be happy and have a family, but if you're one of the ones that wants to change the world then when you become a billionaire to remember that you guys were best friends in high school and that you owe him one. Johnson hopes all the senior class will find their niche in life and be happy.
Tyler Pulli, honor student, said they are at a time in their lives where one decision can affect the rest of their lives. Dr. Seuss said you can steer yourself anywhere you want to go. No one should make your decisions for you. Too often we see people who didn't make good decisions. We need to stop and think through our decisions. Dr. Seuss said, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go."
Pulli said at one point in his life he was letting friends make decisions for him. He said he was giving up his power to make decisions. When he took back this power, things began to work out better for him. Even if you have to find new friends, don't give power over you to someone else. Other people pay no price for being wrong.
If you make a decision, stick with it. Dr. Seuss said, "You can get so confused that you'll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
Tony Robbins said to stay committed but flexible. Dr. Seuss said, "You'll move mountains, So today is your day. Your mountain is waiting. So, get on your way.
Brendon Jorgensen, honor student, said he has participated in sports and the dedication it takes to participate in sports can be applied to life including hard work and practice. Last year he said he won a gold medal in track in the 300 meter hurdles. He barely beat one of his competitors. This year this competitor beat him each time they raced against each other. But, Jorgensen didn't lose sight of his goal to win the hurdles at state again this year. With some hard work and extra coaching from Bret Guymon, he didn't give up and he had the second fastest time in the trials and ended the year by winning the hurdles in the finals. He was focused on his goal. The work you're willing to put in is the reward you get in the end. Your work and effort decides the outcome. Michael Jordan never gave up, he has missed 9,000 shots, lost 300 ball games, and failed over and over, but he succeeded because he never gave up. Keep your head in the game. Like Joe Dirt said, "Life's a garden, dig it."
Rachel Roberts, Valedictorian, said they have been on a road for the past 17-18 years. The road included: elementary school, junior high and high school. The road now is a new path and everyone begins their own journey. Many people have helped along the road including parents, family and teachers. Teachers have been encouraging and said things like you've only failed if you stop trying. Paths will now lead to college, jobs, careers and marriage. New adventures await at all stages of life along the path. There will be goals and fulfilling of childhood dreams. "We have an amazing future ahead. I'm glad we've made it this far. The road goes on and on, Let our journey begin, said Roberts.

"If we all take the time to see and understand what it takes to properly educate our children and give them every possible tool to succeed we will truly be able to come together and present a better educational system for our children and our State's future."
-- Assemblyman Troy Singleton
In the days leading up to Singleton's participation in NJEA's Teacher for a Day Program, he spent time with Ms. Newman planning and preparing lessons, as well as learning about her classroom rules and expectations.
The students were prepared for Singleton's visit, and extremely excited! In addition to instructing classes for the day, Assemblyman Singleton, along with the Mayor of Willingboro, performed an induction ceremony for the school's Student Council representatives during a school-wide assembly. The students in Mr. Singleton's class, as they referred to him for the day, proudly bragged to their peers that he was their teacher for the day.
In the classroom, lessons in math and writing went on as they would on any other given day. Soon the Assemblyman knew all of the students' names and was able to call on them to participate without pausing from his lesson, which helped keep the students engaged. While the students worked on a writing prompt about a snowman, Singleton graded papers from the math lesson he taught earlier in the day. Once the students finished their rough drafts they eagerly came to him for assistance with proofreading and revisions.
Singleton took the time to read each story, praise each student for a job well done and then re-read each story with its author. He reminded the students to use a dictionary to look up how to spell a word, and encouraged them to expand their ideas. There was a busy hum in the room as the students worked, as well as high-fives exchanged and big smiles on the faces of students and teachers- both Ms. Newman and Mr. Singleton- as students felt successful. Assemblyman Singleton may have been the Teacher for a Day, but in a sense he was a student too, and finished the day with an unforgettable education.
"This was a great opportunity for Assemblyman Singleton to meet and interact with our fantastic students and staff," said Vicki Benedict, Willingboro Education Association President. "We are happy that he experienced the daily activities of our students and had the opportunity to see firsthand the top notch education that goes on in our schools."

Comments: Fished this jig for the first time in Northern Illinois with fantastic results. I rigged a variety of trailers on the jig to beef of the profile a bit in hopes of better quality fish. My results couldn't have been better. 17 fish over 6 hours, AVERAGE size of 2.25lbs. Kicker was 5.6 and 2nd largest a 5.2. All these fish were caught on the same jig, no retying. (I checeked braid periodically for fraying) The hooksets were consistently in the roof of the mouth, just textbook. I really like the angle of the hook, my hookup ratio was fantastic. Definitely found my new "go to" jig.
From: Jeremy: Chicago, IL 7/28/14
Comments: This jig is guaranteed to catch me a bass from a dink to large. I'm waiting to break my 4 lbs best on this jig itself. First cast, bam. Second cast, bam. I use strictly Strike King jigs, it catches me bass but slower catch rate than this. Grab it, you wouldn't regret it. It's even cheaper.
From: Billy: TX 7/19/14
Comments: These jigs can not be beat! They have everything going for them. the color selection gives you options, the hook up ratio is ausome, and best of all the bass crush it!!! For the best Football jigs look no further.....chose Skinny Bear.
From: Joe: Scottsdale, AZ 7/15/14
- Great hook up ratio due to the EWG hook
- Jig head to skirt color is good. A matte finish with rubber skirts would be primo though/
- Paint chips of in flakes very easliy. Takes about 45 minutes of fishing to have 60% of it down to the lead.
- Head shape isn't very football-ish compared to other football jigs I have used. More on the round side but still rolls over rocks ok.
From: Joe: White Bear Lake, MN
Comments: These are the best rubber jigs on the market. I just started using them this year and have had great success. The weed guards aren't stiff like other jigs I have used. I like how they come with Gamakatsu EWGs and are hand tied. Since they are hand tied and have round rubber the skirt flares out more and gets extra bites. Try these out you wont be disappointed.
From: Manuel: CA
Comments: These are by far the best football jigs on the market. They do an excellent job of coming through rocks, and the EWG style hook keeps the fish pinned. The skirt is hand tied so you don't have to worry about rubber bands rotting and falling off of the jig. Next time you need a jig for fishing rocky structure give The Elite Series Football a try.
From: Mark: Menifee, CA
Comments: these are some of the best hand tied jigs on the market with some of the best colors, but the paint on the jig heads flakes off extremely easy. i've found the same thing to be true about pepper jigs. the hardiest jig head paint i have found is on dirty jigs.
From: Mike: Phoenix, AZ
Comments: Hands down the best football head jig on the market.
From: Jimmy: Santa Ana, CA


text: I'm wondering if anyone on here has teenagers? My two stepchildren, ages 12 and 16, just moved in with us last year. Without going into too much detail, I can say that it has been challenging for many reasons. Regarding food, my husband and I have raised our daughter, who is 3, to eat primarily natural/local/organic foods, and this is also how he and I have eaten since she was born. My stepchildren grew up in a very different environment. We were afraid that just throwing them into our lifestyle would be too harsh, so we tried to make sure they had what we would consider foods that are not healthy, as special treats, from time to time. But it never seems to be enough for them. They've been sneaking food into the house from friends', or getting lunch at school even though they pack food from here. We feel like we can't win, because when we try to feed them the food we believe is healthy for them, they rebel. But we aren't willing to change our lifestyle (and that of our daughter, who has never eaten the way they used to) and compromise our beliefs just to ensure that they have the food they want all of the time.

Great sneaker!
"I am in love with all things pink, so naturally these were a must-have. I love the retro style! I was a little bit disappointed that they were not a bit more cushioned inside, but they are still comfortable. I would recommend them more for a fashion sneaker than something you'd walk a lot in or exercise in."
