Men's Club hosting community blood drive
Shorewood — The next Shorewood Men's Club Community Blood Drive is scheduled from from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Shorewood Village Center, 2010 E. Shorewood Blvd.
Anyone interested in donating may contact Jeff Hanewall at 687-7418 or email@example.com for an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome. The drive is conducted by the Blood Center of Wisconsin.
Plumbers not needed for downspout disconnection
Whitefish Bay — The Village Board on Monday amended an ordinance to allow residents to disconnect their downspouts from their sanitary sewer line without a master plumber.
Village staff have dye-tested about 230 homes in the village and found that 10 homes had downspouts illegally connected to their sewer lines, Assistant Village Engineer Aaron Jahncke said. The owners of those homes will soon receive a letter from the village telling them they need to disconnect their downspouts by April 18, after which they could be fined.
The disconnections require a plumbing permit from the village.
"Staff will tell them what to do, see that it's done right, and close out the permit, without the expense of hiring a master plumber," Village Attorney Chris Jaekels said.
District reviewing
facilities needs
Mequon — Mequon-Thiensville School District officials presented a comprehensive review of district athletic facilities to the School Board on Monday.
The presentation was the first in a three-part series of facilities reviews, with later presentations to come on fine arts facilities and another on overall facilities, Superintendent Demond Means said.
According to the report, the majority of athletic facilities were found to be below average or in poor condition and a significant number of facilities caused moderate or high safety concerns.
The athletic facilities report, as well as the fine arts and districtwide facilities report, will factor into the district's long-term capital planning process, Means said.
"We still have a lot of work to do when we look at fine arts and general facilities," Means said. "It's important for us to keep in mind that this is work we really need to hone in on."
Whitefish Bay imposing
bowhunting restrictions
Whitefish Bay — The Village Board on Monday approved ordinance changes that restrict bowhunting as much as possible in the village.
A recently passed state bill prevents municipalities from banning bowhunting. The only real restrictions, which the board approved, prohibit hunters from setting up within 100 yards of a building — assuming they already have permission to hunt on the owner's property — without permission and indirectly require that bowhunters use tree stands.
While the new law does allow bowhunting within Whitefish Bay, Village Attorney Chris Jaekels was skeptical that any hunters could find suitable areas anyway.
High school students headed to Carnegie Hall
The Homestead and Shorewood High School Chamber Orchestra will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Feb. 24.
After a competitive audition, the 66-member orchestra was selected to perform in the Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie. They will be accompanied by Milwaukee-area pianist Jeannie Yu as they perform works by Mendelssohn, Doyle and Bloch.
During their stay in New York, the students will also tour the Lincoln Center of the Arts, the archives at Carnegie, and the Museum of Modern Art; they will also tour the "Top of the Rock" at the Rockefeller Plaza and see "The Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway.
A special send off concert, free and open to the public, takes place at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11 at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, 1111 E. Brown Deer Road, Bayside.
Village to bid
Pigeon Creek bridge project
Thiensville — The Village Board, meeting as a Committee of the Whole on Monday, gave a positive recommendation on putting the Pigeon Creek footbridge project out to bid.
The Village Board will consider the matter at its upcoming Feb. 17 meeting.
The footbridge, which will span Pigeon Creek from the Main Street side to the Green Bay Road side, was previously approved by the board to be included in the 2014 capital budget.
Village honors longtime police lieutenant
Shorewood — After nearly 30 years of service, Lt. Paul Sullivan has officially retired from the Shorewood Police Department.
The Village Board on Monday honored Sullivan's dedication with a proclamation ceremony. Sullivan joined the department in August 1984 as a community service officer, and subsequently was promoted to police officer, sergeant and lieutenant, also holding a variety of special roles during his career, including emergency response team coordinator, drug recognition expert and motorcycle patrol unit supervisor, among others. He was the third highest ranking officer in the department, Police Chief David Banaszynski said.
As a result of Sullivan's retirement, the department promoted Christine Preston to lieutenant and Karl Simandl to sergeant. Both were sworn into their new roles on Monday, along with new police officer Cody Smith.
Six new courses
approved at Brown Deer schools
Brown Deer — The School Board on Tuesday approved six new courses for the coming fall semester.
They are: a yearlong construction skills course; a yearlong beginning piano course; a semester-long web design and advanced coding course; a semester-long "pathways for success" course meant to follow the existing "digital literacy" course and help students build a personal portfolio and brand; a yearlong advanced orchestra course; and a semester or yearlong senior project course, billed as a "cure for senioritis."
Health building
plans altered, approved
Thiensville — The Thiensville Plan Commission on Monday approved updated plans for the incoming Thiensville Health Alliance building.
Last year the village sold the former Riemer's Flowers, D&D Electronics and Sea N' Sand Scuba sites to Thiensville physician Gary Lewis. The new plans move the building from the north end of the combined site to the south end and include parking and color updates.
Village Administrator Dianne Robertson said Lewis will need to return with landscape and lighting plans.
Roberston said that before Lewis can break ground, the village has work to do on the Pigeon Creek retaining wall behind the properties, and due to Department of Natural Resources guidelines can't begin that work until after May 15.
Sherburn Place to be vacated for senior living development
Shorewood — Sherburn Place will eventually be vacated and replaced with a new street as part of the Harbor Retirement Associates senior living facility planned for the former site of Pig N' Whistle and Sherburn Place Apartments.
Following a public hearing on Monday, the Village Board approved a resolution discontinuing the road, which serves the parcels at 3907-09 N. Sherburn Place and 1111 E. Capitol Drive, where the 94-unit assisted living and memory-care facility will be built. The resolution specifies that a new public road will be constructed within the River District as part of the project, providing access to those parcels.
Village Attorney Raymond Pollen described the discontinuance of Sherburn Place, which was recommended by the Plan Commission in December, as a significant component of the site plan approved for the development. He explained that Sherburn Place will not be discontinued until the new road has been constructed.
The action follows the Village Board's approval last month of a development agreement with Harbor Retirement Associates. The developer will work in conjunction with the village to construct the new road, Pollen noted, as well as to create a certified survey map for the site and meet any other conditions that may be part of the construction project or development agreement.
Police Department focuses on increasing efficiency
Shorewood — Along with other village departments, the Shorewood Police Department is using lean processes to achieve more efficient operations.
In a presentation to the Village Board on Monday, Deputy Police Chief Kevin Carini explained how a team of police staff recently used lean methods — which focus on recognizing and decreasing waste or inefficiencies in a process — to improve how cases are being forwarded to the department's detective bureau.
Through the process, police staff created a revised template for case referrals, Carini said, which is only completed by the supervisor in charge, as opposed to multiple people. Staff were trained on how to use the form in December and the department has already found it to be effective in providing more accurate information and enabling staff to handle cases in a more timely manner, for example. The goal of the team is to ultimately have 100 percent of cases correctly referred to the bureau, Carini said. The bureau typically receives five to 10 cases per week, he said.
Staff from the clerk/treasurer's office also recently reported to the board on how they are using lean methods to improve customer service operations. Similar methods are being used throughout the village.
Software company

Mequon — Field workforce automation software maker MSI Data is expanding its Mequon headquarters, according to a company news release.
This is MSI's second expansion in the last two months, and the company more than doubled its staff in 2013.

Call (414) 371-2980 to schedule an appointment.
Fundraising under way
for 'Richards court'
Whitefish Bay — A volunteer fundraising committee is asking for donations to help rebuild the dilapidated "back yard" area at Richards Elementary School.
A two phase plan is set to begin in the spring. In the first phase, the existing tennis court area will be demolished replaced with the "Richards Athletic Court," composed of three tennis courts, three half-court basketball courts, several foursquare and hopscotch grids and backboards for kids to throw and kick balls against, according to a news release from the fundraising committee.
Phase two will focus on improvements to the existing playground equipment at Richards.
The committee encourages donations, which are tax-deductible. Checks should be made payable to The School District of Whitefish Bay with Richards Athletic Court in the memo line. Donations should be addressed to School District of Whitefish Bay Business Office, Attention: District Accountant — Penny Little, 1200 E. Fairmount Ave.

Neighborhood Loan Program seeks more duplex conversion funds
Shorewood —Funds in Shorewood's Neighborhood Loan Program budget will be reallocated to provide more assistance for duplex to single family conversion projects.
The Village Board approved reallocating $20,000 from the down payment assistance loan fund to the duplex conversion loan fund, as requested by the program, bringing the remaining duplex loan funds to $21,975 and leaving $8,000 in down payment assistance funds.
In addition to down payment assistance and duplex conversion loans, the Neighborhood Loan Program currently offers attic improvement loans, and previously offered exterior maintenance loans as well. Duplex and attic loans are offered at a maximum of $20,000 each, while down payment assistance loans do not exceed $4,000 each. Since the program was established in 2009, it has approved 28 loans in the total amount of more than $400,000.

Village creates public art fund
Shorewood — Shorewood now has a special revenue fund in place to support the goals of its Public Art Program.
The Village Board approved a resolution establishing the fund, at the recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee. Trustee Michael Maher explained that the fund is intended to support the Public Art Program and Committee, as established by the village in 2011.
The purpose of the committee, according to the description on the village's website, is to recommend policies and guidelines for the planning and implementation of a formal, phased program for selecting artist/design professionals and for designing and placing public art throughout the village.
In a separate motion, the board also approved a resolution transferring the net proceeds from the 2013 Plein Air painting event and exhibition, in the amount of about $13,477, to the Public Art Program fund for future use, as well as $2,500 in property tax support from Village Celebrations to the fund to support 2014 programming activities. The funds are to be spent only on public art activities authorized by the Village Board, Maher said. All donations and other revenue received from activities designated to support the Public Art Program will go to the fund.
Maher said the Public Art Committee is expected to report to the Village Board in February with a proposed budget for the fund.
Shorewood schedule
survey online
Shorewood — The school district recently launched an online survey to poll parents potential scheduling changes like later school start times and calendar changes.
The survey is part of a committee process that will culminate in presentations and possible recommendations to the School Board in the coming months.
District residents can take the survey online at: surveymonkey.com/s/shorewoodcalendarsurvey.
Water main improvements planned for Oakland, DPW yard
Shorewood —Shorewood will contract with Clark Dietz for design services for the reconstruction of problem water main segments in the 3700 block of Oakland Avenue and within the village's Public Works yard.
The Village Board approved entering into a design services agreement with Clark Dietz in the amount of $8,300, with the water main relays to be completed with upcoming 2014 street reconstruction and Basin 6 sewer projects.
The 2014 capital projects fund budget estimates improvement costs at $145,000 for Oakland Avenue and $125,000 for the DPW yard. Per staff recommendation, the engineering would be performed by Clark Dietz with the project bid as alternates to both the Murray Reconstruction Program and the Basin 6 Phase II Program, with the water main relays to be awarded with the project providing the most advantage to the village.
Kindergarten registration
Mequon — The Mequon-Thiensville School District will hold 2014-15 school year kindergarten registration from 1-6 p.m. on March 19 and 20.

Looks great for a day
"Bought these shoes to wear on a shot business trip. They were awesome the first day. Very comfortable and looked great. However, by the second day they had a giant chunk taken out of the toe and the heel was coming apart. I contacted the manufacturer who said this wasn't normal and would be in touch within a couple days to help rectify the issue. However, a week later I hadn't heard anything. Returned to get my money back. Not worth it."

"These arrived the day before Thanksgiving and now it is December 14th and they are already falling apart. The sole on the right heel is peeling off and I can start to see the same thing on the left. I've only worn these a couple times to work too! I wouldn't expect this type of performance from a $5 sandal nevermind a $100 shoe. Not happy - I"m hoping I'll be getting a refund/store credit for these as I definitely don't want to exchange them."

With a six-game lead in the National League East, the Washington Nationals are sitting pretty – at least compared to other NL hopefuls. Six teams are gunning for four spots, which will make for a fun and fluid September, except, perhaps, for the managers involved. USA TODAY Sports' Jorge L. Ortiz breaks down how it may unfold:
Milwaukee Brewers
Where they stand: Second in the Central, one game back of the Cardinals..
In their favor: The Brewers rank in the league's top three in runs and on-base-plus slugging (OPS), and their offense features five hitters with at least 60 RBI. They have a veteran rotation with three starters — Kyle Lohse, Yovani Gallardo and Matt Garza — who have pitched in the postseason. Until dropping to second Monday, Milwaukee had been in first place, either alone or tied, every day since April 5.
Working against them: A recent skid that has seen Milwaukee drop six in a row. The Brewers were hammered for 31 runs over the weekend in San Francisco despite sending out two of their best starters in Wily Peralta and Kyle Lohse. Getting the ball to closer Francisco Rodriguez has been a problem, which the club hopes it remedied by acquiring Jonathan Broxton on Sunday.
The schedule is...: Insular. The Brewers play 22 of their final 26 games against division foes, including seven with St. Louis.
Bottom line: The Brewers have battled the perception that they're overachieving all season long, and with a 53-56 record from May 1 on, they're not gaining many converts. The division is very much up for grabs, but the Brewers are not exactly charging after it.
MLB standings: Who leads the wild-card chase?
St. Louis Cardinals
Where they stand: First in the Central, one game ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers.
In their favor: Team leader and receiver nonpareil Yadier Molina is back, making his presence felt at the plate and behind it. The lethargic offense has gotten a jolt from his return and the hot hitting of outfielder Matt Holliday, who has a major league-high 19 RBI in his last 13 games. Michael Wacha is in line for an early-September return.
Working against them: The acquisitions of Justin Masterson (7.90) ERA and John Lackey (4.23) have failed to provide the desired boost to the injury-weakened rotation. St. Louis is the only division leader with a negative run differential (minus-seven).
The schedule is...: Favorable. Sixteen of the Cardinals' remaining 26 games – including the final nine – will be against teams that currently have losing records.
Bottom line: Getting Molina and Wacha back will be a huge help during the stretch run for this playoff-tested club, which may finally be primed to play its best ball.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Where they stand:Third in the Central, three games behind the Cardinals and two games back in the wild-card race.
In their favor: Pirates starters have fueled the club's resurgence after a seven-game losing streak, logging a 2.34 ERA in the 10 games after the skid and going at least six innings nine times. Pittsburgh has Andrew McCutchen and Gerrit Cole back from the disabled list.
Working against them: Getting hot at the end is often a key to reaching the postseason, but the Pirates haven't won more than four in a row this year. Right-hander Charlie Morton is sidelined by a hip injury that may end his season.
The schedule is...: Ominous: The Pirates play 17 of their last 26 games on the road, starting with a 10-game swing that opens Monday in St. Louis. Pittsburgh's 27-37 road record is the worst among contenders in either league.
Bottom line: Pittsburgh has the second-best home mark in the league and has gone 20-11 in one-run games at PNC Park, but has only nine home games left this season. The climb will be steep.
Atlanta Braves
Where they stand: Second in the East, six games behind the Washington Nationals and 1½ games back in the wild-card chase.
In their favor: Justin Upton, who drove in 28 runs in August, is batting .311 since the All-Star break and has shown the ability to carry the offense. Atlanta has taken off since Jason Heyward returned to the leadoff spot. The Braves are 70-45 in the last two seasons with Heyward hitting first in the lineup.
Working against them: Atlanta has been riding a wild fluctuation of highs and lows, which leaves the club prone to large stretches of futility, such as the one it experienced in getting no-hit by the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. The Braves offense ranks third in the league in strikeouts, and four hitters — B.J. and Justin Upton, Chris Johnson and Freddie Freeman — already have more than 125.
The schedule is...: Manageable. A nine-game trip awaits the Braves and it includes three against the division-leading Nationals, whom Atlanta meets six times in September. There are also a total of nine September games against the last-place Phillies and Rangers.
Bottom line: With strong starting pitching and an elite closer in Craig Kimbrel, the Braves are always a playoff threat, although unlikely to catch the Nationals.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Where they stand: First in the West, 2 games ahead of the Giants.
In their favor: With Hyun-Jin Ryu rejoining a rotation headed by Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, the Dodgers have their Big Three in place to try to defend their division crown. Closer Kenley Jansen has been a rock, converting 36 of his last 38 save chances.
Working against them: Entering September with a mere 2½-game lead in the West qualifies as underachievement for the club with the largest payroll in the game, and the pressure will only intensify if the Dodgers don't hold on to first place. The outfield situation, with highly paid former All-Star Andre Ethier usually the odd man out and Yasiel Puig in a funk, continues to hover threateningly.
The schedule is...: Homey, or maybe homely: L.A. plays 15 of its final 25 games at Dodger Stadium, which would be a much bigger advantage if the club were any better than 34-32 at home.
Bottom line: The Dodgers have all the weapons – including MVP candidate Kershaw – to fend off the Giants' rally. If they don't, changes may be coming.
San Francisco Giants
Where they stand: Second in the West, 2 1/2 games behind the Dodgers and leading the wild-card race.
In their favor: A six-game winning streak fueled by Buster Posey and some excellent pitching – a 1.07 ERA for the starters in the last seven games – has thrust the Giants back in the division race. Rookies Joe Panik and Andrew Susac have filled voids, and the emotional Jake Peavy has brought an edge to the pitching staff.
Working against them: The Giants have no idea how long Yusmeiro Petit's magic ride will last, or what they'll get out of Tim Lincecum in the bullpen. Santiago Casilla has been shaky as the closer.
The schedule is...: No cakewalk. The Giants play 16 of their final 26 games on the road, including a three-game trip to Detroit this week. The last 10 games are all in California, though, seven of them against the Padres.
Bottom line: The division crown seemed out of reach as recently as last Monday, when the Giants fell to five games back, but the current surge has made it quite achievable. The six remaining games with the Dodgers will probably provide the final say.

The Green River Lady Pirates traveled to what has proven over the years to be a hostile court for a game against the Lady Red Devils of Grand County High School on Jan. 5. The Lady Pirates had previously beaten the Lady Devils on their home court by three points in what was a very exciting game. Tuesday's game was equally as exciting with a different outcome as they came away losing 42-46.
With this being the first game after the Christmas break, Coach Parsons wondered aloud which of his 'teams' would show up to play. The work hard on defense and work the ball around team showed up for the first half when the Pirates went into the locker room nursing a 28-23 lead where all five starters had scored and they were slightly better than 50 percent from the charity stripe making four of seven.
Things changed after half time though. The Lady Pirates came out flat making only six points in the third quarter to the Red Devils 10 while the fourth quarter was only slightly better with the Pirates making eight to the Devils 13. But the story of the game wasn't necessarily the loss itself but it's how they lost that created the most frustration to the players and coaches.
The Lady Pirates ended up going 11 for 29 from the free throw line while the Lady Devils made 16 of 26 with their star player, Shelby Dalton, going 10 for 15 from the line and ended the game with a total of 24 points.
The frustration mounted late in the fourth quarter as the Pirates were playing tough ball-were getting no help from the officials-and coach Parsons made a statement to a close official who quickly turned and 'T'ed coach Parsons for his outburst. The Red Devils put Shelby Dalton to the line and she missed both shots much to the delight of the Green River crowd who let it be known.
Having Coach Parsons get a technical foul certainly inspired the play of the Lady Pirates but had no effect on the ball going through the hoop as a field goal or free throw.
Sarah Swalberg went 0 for six from the line with seven points and one 3-pointer, Megan Hatt went three for five with 11 points, Jill Vetere went one for two from the line with one point, Cady Mecham went two for six with 10 points, Courtney Carter went three for six with seven points and Tracy Engleman went two for four with six points.

Jan. 30, 2009 Legislature Tidbits
January 30, 2009
The Santa Fe New Mexican
Days remaining in session: 50
Denish raises almost half a million: Lt. Gov. Diane Denish raised $466,314 in the last quarter of 2008 for her 2010 bid for the Governor's Office, her campaign announced Thursday.
Denish has $1,751,779 in the bank for the race, where she is seen by many as the leading Democratic contender. Former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, a Republican, has said she is interested in running for the post as well.
Denish released the information as a way to be transparent, she said.
New Mexico campaign finance law requires a yearly filing; Denish has been filing them each quarter.
Pay-to-play legislation in the hopper: Along with a slew of other ethics bills introduced this session, a measure (SB258) introduced by Sen. Tim Keller, D-Albuquerque, would prohibit state contractors from contributing to statewide candidates and their committees.
``This bill is very cut and dry -- if you are a contractor, you cannot contribute to candidates who may be responsible for hiring your firm,'' he said in a statement.
The bill is aimed at avoiding undue influence by state contractors or potential state contractors.
A federal grand jury is investigating whether contributions to Gov. Bill Richardson political committees by CDR Financial and its chief executive, David Rubin, influenced the authority's decision to hire the firm for state work. CDR earned nearly $1.5 million in fees for its work on state bond deals in 2004-2005. CDR and Richardson deny any wrongdoing.
In-state tuition for out-of-state veterans: Veterans would be eligible to pay in-state tuition rates under a measure (SB136) introduced by Senate Minority Whip Bill Payne, R-Albuquerque.
The proposal would apply to honorably discharged veterans, their children and their spouses from any state.
``In addition to benefiting the honorably discharged veteran and his or her family, this bill benefits the state of New Mexico and the universities,'' Payne said in a statement. ``The state would be able to attract veterans to come to New Mexico to study and hopefully make New Mexico their home. The college educated veterans could help improve the state's economic development efforts by attracting more businesses looking for a better educated work-force.''
Bolo ties allowed: New Mexico lawmakers gained a bit more sartorial freedom on Thursday when the House approved a rules change to allow its members and others to wear bolo ties in the House chambers.
Previously, bolos were banned when the House was in session. Members had to wear a regular cloth tie.
A bolo, often called a string tie, has a sliding clasp on a thin cord that's sometimes made of braided leather. Some bolos feature heavily decorated silver or gold clasps with turquoise and other stones.
During a debate in the House on the rules change, bolo backers said the tie was appropriate attire for lawmakers. A bolo, they said, reflected New Mexico's tri-cultural heritage -- a mix of Hispanic, Indian and Anglo influences.
``I always thought and felt that the bolo is a very respectable tie,'' said Rep. James Roger Madalena, D-Jemez Pueblo. ``The bolo tie represents New Mexico in terms of who we are.''
A 2007 law declared the bolo as New Mexico's official tie, but House rules still banned them.
Quote of the day: ``The reason we're even talking about this right now is because we've been lulled and duped and schemed and scammed into some of the most serious budget crises this state will ever know, and it's because of an overzealous executive that had a personal agenda.'' -- Sen. Kent Cravens, D-Albuquerque, during the debate on the solvency package approved by the Senate on Thursday afternoon.

An Analysis of the Financial Crisis of 2008: Causes and Solutions
Austin Murphy
Oakland University - School of Business Administration
November 4, 2008
This research evaluates the fundamental causes of the current financial crisis. Close financial analysis indicates that theoretical modeling based on unrealistic assumptions led to serious problems in mispricing in the massive unregulated market for credit default swaps that exploded upon catalytic rises in residential mortgage defaults. Recent academic research implies solutions to the crisis that are appraised to be far less costly than a bailout of investors who made poor financial decisions with respect to credit analysis.

Nail Yakupov is a splendid hockey player and an absolutely incredible quote. He's a flashy guy with a great deal of loyalty and continues to endear himself to Oilers Nation by saying exactly the right thing at the right time. The result is a growing bond between player and fanbase--I dare say that if the Yak Celly reaction happened today, critics would have been quiet that night (and that's not a bad thing). Nail Yakupov is larger than life, an emerging legend, and it's our good fortune to be along for the ride.
When we last left Mr. Yakupov, he was humbling NHL opposition nightly (fact: Nail Yakupov scored 11 April goals in 14 games during that month, effectively putting his stamp on the most impressive rookie season in the league without actually getting the award--something Oiler players must be used to by now) and having a grand time. The calendar year 2013 really did give us a wonderful view of the young Russian.
However, there's also a downside to the coverage Yakupov gets, and I can't help thinking it might be a bias or language/culture barrier. An example would be January 2, 2013 where Nail's being unavailable to the media started quite the snow storm from media and the phrase "prima donna" was attached to the young man by legendary writer Cam Cole.
Fast forward to now, and a brilliant piece by Joanne Ireland has Yak City passing on the opportunity to wear #10 out of respect for his first captain, Shawn Horcoff. I think we all--media, fans--sometimes jump to conclusions and that's human nature. However, in this case, I think we can probably put forward the possibility that "prima donna" was perhaps thrown out there a little too quickly.
Not a big deal, and God knows you can browse through my back pages and find any and all missteps, but I think it should be mentioned that the European hockey player appears to get fewer breaks from the North American media on all kinds of things. The Staples article mentions a moment in time when this may have happened, the Celly against the Kings and reaction to it would certainly be another. Good grief that was an incredible moment, anyone in Rexall or watching at home would have done that celebration (and did! my cat is STILL on the ceiling!), and I do wonder if the reaction would have been as swift and negative from some circles if Nail Yakupov had been born and raised in Winnipeg.
Joanne Ireland is a helluva writer, she really is. I've been reading her for decades, have met her exactly once, and yet if you add up the reasonable and the rational Ireland ranks at the top of local writers and interesting stories delivered. Her Yakupov piece did it again: with fewer than 750 words (attention bloggers like me) she conveyed a very touching conversation with a teenager from half a world away who has come to know the value of a long term captain and honors it in a unique and personal way.
Few articles have impressed me more than this one. An Edmonton writer finds a compelling story and writes it beautiflly, a Russian teenager's words showing respect and humility. I'm hopeful we can remember this article when Nail Yakupov or another Euro player does something that rattles the jewellry in the free seats.
Ireland's article is here, it is very much recommended to all.
September 14 2013, 08:55AM
Well said, truer words have never been spoken. Yak possesses a unique and refreshing attitude. This team could use more of what he brings to the table. I look forward to seeing him grow up in an Oilers uni.
September 14 2013, 08:59AM
I have been a fan since 1978 and have seen players come and go. How can you not cheer for this kid? The bit of criticism is unfair. Just as Omark was criticized for the spin-o-rama by Stamkos who then promptly went out 3 games later and did the same thing.
It is an international game now and foreign players should be viewed no differently than our own. The media builds these "mountains", not the fans.
Anything for a story nowadays. Be it warranted or not.
September 14 2013, 09:06AM
Hindsight being 20-20, it looks to me like the real prima donnas were the self-entitled and self-annointed ones sitting in the pressbox.
Let's see who will be big enough to admit that their first impressions were wrong (or that their Euro-bias was on display a bit too quickly) and who will stubbornly continue to grind an axe.
Over to you, Matheson and company...
September 14 2013, 09:23AM
I really hope kissing the logo after scoring becomes his thing. Its like he's thanking us every time he scores. I could watch that all day. He would make a 8hr shift at BurgerKing fun. Nothing wrong with that.
September 14 2013, 09:26AM
Language barrier and his exuberant personality been a bit of a problem for him. Some media types have put a label on him for a few things, and the criticism is really unwarranted. He's done and said more good things then the couple questionable activities. Everyone remembers his saluting the Oilers's logo, this guys proud, committed, and wants to be here. He's a good chap, leave Yak alone.
September 14 2013, 09:07AM
Loved the cat on the ceiling line. The hooting and hollering by my TV set when Yak scored might only have been matched by the Marchant OT winner in Game 7 and Pisani's shorty in 2006. Our cat was there for all three and still thinks I'm crazy.
Why the hate for Horcoff? He was a good soldier.
Nice shout out to Ireland. She gets dissed by too many too often, for obvious reasons.
September 14 2013, 09:55AM
It has been said by other posters here, but that moment in Oil Change, where he first steps on the ice, after asking permission, and stares wide-eyed at the Oiler banners is a big tell about this kid's character.
To borrow a Brownleeism; this kid gets it.
September 14 2013, 10:01AM
The great thing about Yakupov also is that he lead our team in goals in his rookie year when he spent 2/3 of the year on a grinder line and his off wing... I think he will be the sniper this team has always craved.
September 14 2013, 09:40AM
Was a great article. Yak always came off to me as a happy kid that just wants to fit in and be liked (loved?) by everyone. I am of Russian descent, so I always attach myself to the fellow Ruskies, but I've been pleased to see how much the fans here have adored him and stuck up for him.
I don't really recall people saying bad things about him like fans here can do about any other player. Hopefully it stays that way. Nail is on his way to a very exciting career. There is a lot of language barrier issues with many Europeans but you can see that he's a very humble, happy go lucky kid. Glad he'll continue being N64 too.
September 14 2013, 12:01PM
10 is forever attached to the great Pavel Bure, not Horcoff
I associate 10 with Esa Tikkanen when he was an Oiler. Sure could use a player like him now.
September 14 2013, 10:38AM
I was at the home opener, not fun save for the free beer! That Thursday against LA, I was watching at home seeing a series of unfortunate events take place. And then Yakcity happened!!!! Set of a flurry of about 1000 texts of pure joy and excitement! I love this kid! His passion, his joy and excitement!
September 14 2013, 09:52AM
Good thing he is not wearing #10. It would only be a reminder what a $6 million dollar player should look like.
September 14 2013, 10:21AM
I stand by it. Yakupov's arrows are all going in a stunning direction and have cleared the space station. Incredible talent, he might MIGHT be better than Hall at the end of the line.
I think your right (( not like it matters but w/e lol )).
But to say he might be better then Hall and maybe the rest of the wonder kiddies is a little weird because to me since they all have qualities that make them great. Which is why the Oilers will probably kick ass for at least the next decade lol.
September 14 2013, 12:28PM
Yakupov will be the best player the Oilers have had OUTSIDE of the 5 cups.......He's that good.
I stand by that, Eakins will teach him to be relentless with and without the puck.
He's no Ronnie Mac but the kids the real deal.
September 14 2013, 12:41PM
This kid is quickly becoming my favourite Oiler. He appears to play for merely the love of the game, and that's it. Of course he's paid, but I bet he'd be playing back home for fun even if it weren't his vocation.
Yak has the true mentality of a winner. I hope this rubs off on those around him. His passion and loyalty have me on the Yak Celly bandwagon.
Now please start feeding this kid raw meat and set him loose on those irritating Canucks. I want to see him destroy Kesler and then crush a slapshot clear through Lou's abdomen. His shot will soon be a registered weapon.
Yak City!!!
September 14 2013, 09:36AM
As long as his production compares, inflation alone says its a reasonable bet.
September 14 2013, 10:38AM
Couldn't agree more lowetide. Nail is a special kid. Upon doing some simple math I did some comparisons. I compared PPG from CHL hockey, then compared 1st season PPG in the NHL and 2nd season in the NHL with a prediction of where I see him landing.
CHL Career PPG; Nail Yakupov 1.59 PPG Steven Stamkos 1.59 PPG John Tavares 1.75 PPG Taylor Hall 1.53 PPG Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 1.26 PPG
NHL 1st Season PPG: Nail Yakupov .65 PPG Steven Stamkos .58 PPG John Tavares .66 PPG Taylor Hall .65 PPG Ryan Nugent-Hopkins .84 PPG
NHL 2nd Season PPG: Steven Stamkos 1.16 PPG John Tavares .85 PPG Taylor Hall .87 PPG Ryan Nugent-Hopkins .60 PPG Nail Yakupov .80 PPG (My prediction)
Nail has a drive and determination that could very well take him over that next barrier very soon and very fast. He now has one benefit this year as well. Quality line mates with high end skill themselves. This kid has potential to easily be a PPG player but at the very least a good to go 30 goal scorer year in and year out.
As we all can see with our very own eyes. Yakupov draws your attention to him on the ice every time he crosses the boards and usually for good reasons. Just try not watching him on the ice is a challenge even for those who don't like him. He is a game changer
September 14 2013, 09:40AM
I dont like going over 750 words in a post because I get the impression most people wouldnt read past it.
September 14 2013, 10:46AM
I would have preferred he take number 10. Would been a great player attached to my favorite number. Now forever 10 will be associated with Horcoff... blah
10 is forever attached to the great Pavel Bure, not Horcoff
AS I read this article I had a vision of this group of Oilers doing great things together, winning at least 3 stanley cups, being the opposition's worst nightmare. When their time is winding down, they stay with the team rejecting more money, because they went through so much together, they want to ride into the sunset together. And then they retire in the same order they came into the NHL: one year Hall and Eberle, the next Nugent Hopkins, and finally Yakupov and Schultz. All proud to have started as Oilers, all grateful to have finished as Oilers.
There is a lifetime between now and then, so many questions, so much money, so much danger of injury. Nonetheless, one can dream.
Core four yankees fans say?. The oilers got their own fab 5.
September 14 2013, 11:05AM
Not sure people are hating on him but more disappointed on his lack of production for the size of his contract. Horcs was a good player, just not 5.5 million a year worth. I hope he does well on his next gig.
September 14 2013, 01:14PM
Genuine is the right word for it. It's refreshing to hear a player like Yak talk when most hockey interviews involve clichés and the same nonsense regardless of the questions that are being asked.
Why do we watch hockey? To be entertained. Yakupov brings excitement in spades. Keep on keeping on Nail!
September 14 2013, 03:37PM
I heard they are recalling the Voyager-1 probe so they can put a picture of Yakupov on it.
September 14 2013, 11:28AM
September 14 2013, 07:48PM
Yakupov is a very nice player.
His enthusiasm for the game is remarkable but his antics will eventually get him into trouble.
It's very common for Oilers fans to appear to be giddy school boys before the season starts but, at about the 20 game mark, reality will set in.
In answer to your supposition, there are many, many players better than Yakupov.
When he can take on tough opposition and knows where his own end of the ice is, get back to me.
Everything you wrote up till the word 'but' is true. Everything after is childish.
Good Grief.
September 14 2013, 11:40AM
OK LT. Read the Ireland article. You NAILed it. Feel free to do another celly in your living room, because you sir have earned it.
September 14 2013, 02:40PM
What an interesting guy. He is such a character, a pure unfiltered person. The team hasn't had someone like this since Tikkanen.
I think this year we'll see just how much of a nightmare Hall and Yakupov are going to be play against.
I hope they play them on separate lines mostly. When one guy isn't kicking but the other will be.
September 14 2013, 05:56PM
I would have thought after post 35 DSF would have came by and said some ridiculously stupid comment about Yakupov already, and what player he thinks is so much better.
Slow day.
September 14 2013, 02:25PM
I look forward to YakCity lighting up these dark winter nights all season long. Just imagine what he could do with proper linemates.
Old drinking game: Everytime Gilbert turns the puck over.
New drinking game: Everytime Yak scores.
(Man I'm gonna be really hungover this winter, but for good reasons this time!)
September 14 2013, 09:31AM
I wonder if he will get more money than Hall?
September 14 2013, 09:53AM
I would have preferred he take number 10. Would been a great player attached to my favorite number. Now forever 10 will be associated with Horcoff... blah
September 14 2013, 11:34AM
I'd love to read that Ireland article but I can't because... PAYWALL.

This will be a future argument. Which of the 3 first overalls is/was the best. My opinion, it will be close but my pick is RNH. I just have that feeling.
September 14 2013, 05:37PM
"Good grief that was an incredible moment, anyone in Rexall or watching at home would have done that celebration (and did! my cat is STILL on the ceiling!)"
September 14 2013, 07:45PM
I wasn't at the LA game, but I was at his first hat trick. It was INSANE!! His passion for the game and the fans is so refreshing. He doesn't yet seem to take it all for granted......he looks like he genuinely plays for the love of the game, (though I'm sure the pay helps his enthusiasm)
September 14 2013, 10:06AM
Lowetide, I dub thee King of hyperbole. 'An emerging legend'? Come on, after half a pro season?
Yak seems too good to be true, and maybe because oil fans are used to being dumped on by players under-performing or bolting for greener pastures, most are dying to believe. For me , the jury is out still. I remain unconvinced that he isn't a KGB agent studying our decadent mall or something.
September 14 2013, 06:06PM
This will be a future argument. Which of the 3 first overalls is/was the best. My opinion, it will be close but my pick is RNH. I just have that feeling.
Agreed with a cavet.
RNH is just a freaking joy to watch! He's so cerebral it's really remarkable.
RNH is my favorite, but a really close second is Yakupov. I just love his passion.
those two kids will be something to watch for the next decade, while I think RNH will be the better all round player, points wise it's Hall & Yakupov.
September 14 2013, 12:10PM
I like this Yak City vid
September 14 2013, 06:26PM
This year Yak will have his wing back, he looked really discombobulated on that left side. Hes a shoot first player with an evil snapshot thats sniper accurate. Hemsky did what he was told and tried to make the best of it, Yak looked out of place trying to zip them from that side. The one that stands out in my mind is the one he scored vs Chicago. I believe they lost that game but the timing and accuracy and velocity on that shot was something to behold. Yak 64 with at leas lt 40 this year. Soundslike he has some preseason chemistry with Omark already.
I would have thought after post 35 DSF would have came by and said some ridiculously stupid comment about Yakupov already, and what player he thinks is so much better.
Slow day.
Yakupov is a very nice player.
His enthusiasm for the game is remarkable but his antics will eventually get him into trouble.

A legendary sports writer,really,that sounds more prima donna to me than any nhl player could.
September 14 2013, 06:55PM

September 15 2013, 08:02AM
I think your right (( not like it matters but w/e lol )).
But to say he might be better then Hall and maybe the rest of the wonder kiddies is a little weird because to me since they all have qualities that make them great. Which is why the Oilers will probably kick ass for at least the next decade lol.
After seeing Yak at his first training camp practice, after his first shot on net, you could tell he was the real deal, an absolute sniper. You couldn't even see the puck, except for the twine bulge and Khabi standing there wondering where the puck went. I can still hear the crowd gasp and you got the feeling something special was emerging in E-town. The feeling you get watching retro Gretzky clips in blue and orange. The feeling you're not sitting in Rexall, but the Collesium, with Stanley Cup banners waving overhead. You can tell when you watch him play, he's not an emerging talent, he's the real deal. Signed, sealed and delivered.
P.S. I can send you the celly pics, it was pretty sweet :)
September 14 2013, 02:26PM
Why the hate for Horcoff? He was a good soldier.
Not so much hate as a preference of player to my number. I would love for 10 to be associated with yakupov. Also 10 may be pavel bure's but he is not an oiler.
September 15 2013, 08:14AM

Yes it is only half a season. But the kid is different. As Butters indicated a defining moment for me was the respect, humility and true love for the game Yak showed during a ten second clip on Oil Change. How can you not like this guy?
He is fanatical about practice, would appear to have a strong support system and is immensely talented. There are going to be struggles for sure as he learns the pro game and expectations grow. It is never a straight line to stardom. I just hope fans understand this and cut the kid some slack when there are hiccups.
I hope the grumps and frumps among us let this young man be himself. It could be a lot of fun

10 is forever attached to the great Pavel Bure, not Horcoff
Or Guy Lafleur. Or countless others.
Or in Oiler Town it should be attached to my boy, Esa Tikkanen, not so much to Horcoff. Though Horc was a good soldier.

Everyday Shoes
"Overall I am pleased with these shoes. Unfortunately my feet swell in the summer and I will save my new pair till it cools off a little and they will be more comfortable for me. This pair is replacing another pair that is getting worn out. The same thing happened with the prior pair and as soon as we got into cooler weather I was very happy with my shoes."

comfy and cute
"I bought the blue ones and they are so cute! I like the rounded look of the shoe as I'm not a fan of the square toebox look. They are a good spring/summer shoe that can be worn without socks. These shoes are breathable, have lots of cushion and even a little arch support. So far, I've worn them with jeans, and capris but plan to wear them with casual skirts and dresses as they will look great with most casual outfits. Fits true to size."

The following is a good article I recently received from University of Kentucky College Of Agriculture Grazing the Net Newsletter.
The most predominant forage grass in the U.S., covering over 36 million acres, happens to be tall fescue, a cool-season perennial grass.
This week begins the results for the 4-H Talk Meet program. The countywide competition will be held on April 28 at 6:30 p.m. at St. Catharine College. See the results listed in the second part of this week's column.
As I mentioned last week, I have included more lawn-mowing tips in my column this week.
Here are several tips to think about and to share with all members of your family that use the lawn mower.
More than 80 people from across the state gathered April 4 at the Mercer County Extension Office for the 15th annual Dustin Worthington "I Love Cows" Essay Contest awards ceremony.
This year's ceremony saw 18 heifers given away to students who participated in the contest.
The contest is open to all FFA & 4-H members interested in the cattle industry in the state of Kentucky.
This information is from Dr. Les Anderson, a beef extension specialist at the University of Kentucky. We think it is good information and would like to share it with you.
I received this call a couple of weeks ago. I seem to receive calls similar to this one six to eight times each year. This particular rancher had just finished getting his cows diagnosed for pregnancy.
He had 43 falling calving cows. Last fall, these cows were synchronized for artificial insemination and were exposed to one bull for about 5 weeks and a second bull for 7 weeks.
This weekend began the lawn-mowing season in many neighborhoods in Washington County.
As families begin this spring and summer ritual, there are several considerations that should be made concerning children being around lawn mowers. According to healthychildren.org, each year, many children are injured severely by lawn mowers. Power mowers can be especially dangerous. However, following these safety guidelines can prevent most lawn mower-related injuries.
There may be no prettier climbing plant than the clematis. These hardy vines clamor over trellises, fences and even trees and shrubs. They produce flowers in three general forms: small white flowers in panicles or loose irregular spreading cluster (generally autumn blooming), bell- or urn-shaped flowers and flat open flowers.
In the last month we have shared two pieces of information to cattle farmers about grass tetany. It came up again last week in a very unusual way. There was an article in the April issue of Cow Country News on page 88 titled "Cows Need Salt to Avoid Grass Tetany."
This article has caused a significant conversation across the state between producers, vets, specialist and other beef leaders. Here is Jeff Lehmkuhler, University of Kentucky Beef Cattle Nutrition Specialist response in detailed to that article.
(This is one of the news articles that UK releases for us to spread to the state, and this is good information by Katie Pratt.)
While the winter may have wreaked havoc on many desirable plants, it did little to affect crabgrass, the most common weed in Kentucky lawns.
Asparagus is a long-lived perennial vegetable crop.
Each plant can be productive for 15 or more years if given proper care.
Asparagus will grow in most any soil as long as it has good drainage. Asparagus doesn't like to have wet feet; it leads to root rot.
An ideal pH of 6.5 to 7.5 will give you good results; it will not tolerate a pH under 6.0.
Spring in the Bluegrass is a great time of greening and warming, but it's also a time when livestock producers need to watch out for grass tetany, also called spring tetany or grass staggers.
Some people also refer to it as wheat pasture poisoning, winter tetany or lactation tetany.
Regardless, it?s a condition caused by an abnormally low level of magnesium in the blood.
Maintenance of normal blood magnesium is completely dependent on absorption of magnesium from the diet.

Could Reimer End Up in the 'Peg?
Travis Hrubeniuk
July 17 2013 05:03PM
Today I continue what has seemingly become my "acquire all ex-Leafs" series by looking at the possibility of the Jets one day picking up James Reimer. I have already written pieces about how lovely it would have been for the Jets to snag now Senator Clarke MacArthur, and Mikhail Grabovski (my fingers are still crossed on this one) and there are some serious reasons to think that James Reimer may be the next excellent Leaf player to be on his way out of town. So hey, if Dave Nonis is willing to make all of the players who helped get his team to the playoffs available, who am I to not hope they appear in Winnipeg?
By this point, I think it's fair to say we all know my thoughts on Ondrej Pavelec. I also think it's fair to say that they are shared by most of the blogosphere. So it's simple to understand why the thought of any PROVEN (yes, I said proven) goaltender possibly being available makes my mouth water.
Why do I think he's available?
Well, for a variety of reasons. (Many of which have been mentioned elsewhere before, primarily on the Steve Dangle Podcast, and theleafsnation.com)
First, everything Dave Nonis gave up in bringing Jonathan Bernier to Toronto. Despite the fact that Reimer was the main reason that the Leafs even made the playoffs this year, never mind almost beating the Bruins in the first round, Nonis felt it necessary that the team give up 2 players, cash (he retained a portion of Scrivens' salary), and a draft pick (2nd rounder at that) for a backup goaltender with lots of promise (Vesa Toskala anyone?). A move like this sends a message that you are not comfortable with the current situation, and seems to read as Reimer simply not being a key figure in Nonis' long term plans. This leads to my second point. Clearly, and quite justifiably so, these moves left James less than impressed, despite his very well-known laid back, smiley and overall charismatic attitude. Somehow, even though he has more starts, more wins, and better stats than Bernier, Reimer will likely be the backup to start this season, and he can't like that. He almost single handedly got them to the playoffs for goodness sake! Reimer is an RFA at the end of the upcoming season, and you best believe that there is a chance that he won't want to stick around Toronto for much longer.
In fact, Reimer's upcoming RFA status relates to another major point. The Leafs most likely won't have the cap space to bring James back. At least not if he is looking for any kind of raise. Despite using both amnesty buy-outs this year, the Leafs willy-nilly spending on free-agents, combined with the need to still sign Kadri, Gunnarsson and Franson will likely push them right up against the cap wall. They then need to attempt to re-sign Kessel (who is due for a raise), Gardiner (who is due for a raise), Kulemin, and captain Phaneuf among several others next year. Reimer will likely be looking for that aforementioned raise as well considering his current $1.8 million cap hit, and I don't see the likely cash-strapped Leafs willing to give one to their current "backup" net minder.
Finally, it appears as if the Toronto media and the majority of the fan base are ready to run the guy out of town. Almost daily I've seen more and more reports as to why Reimer should be forgotten. From hate towards his rebound control to his glove hand, it seems as if the people of Toronto are quick to forget what this guy has done for the team, and it seems almost imminent that he is going to be shipped out as soon as the right offer comes along.
Why the Jets?
There are a couple reasons as to why I think the Jets would end up as a possible destination for James. First, Dave Nonis is obviously going to move him to a team that can provide the Leafs with something they need. As of now, it appears that defense depth is one of those areas. Looking at the Jets roster, there is a chance that they will have an abundance of NHL-quality defensive players. Should Trouba grow into the player the team expects, Redmond prove to not be a one-hit wonder, and Postma re-sign with the team, the Jets will have bodies to move. A player like Mark Stuart is a very "Randy Carlyle-esk" player if the Leafs end up as buyers at the trade deadline, or moving newly signed Grant Clitsome could be an option if the Leafs are looking for a player with term. There is also the possibility of moving draft picks if need be, although I don't believe that the Jets are currently in a position organizationally that allows that to become a first option.
The move may also be appealing to James, who hails from Morweena Manitoba (about 2 hours North of Winnipeg), and likely wouldn't hate being slightly closer to home. He would also likely walk in as the clear number 1, a position he has never been "handed" before in his career. Finally, judging by the money Chevy was willing to give Pavelec, Reimer would be in for a decent pay raise for a solid term which would undoubtedly please him. This would all contribute to solidifying the odds of Reimer signing on long term once becoming an RFA, a factor that the Jets would have to be all but guaranteed before they would even consider making a move for him.
There are many pieces that would have to fall in place for this to happen. The Jets and TNSE would finally have to admit to the major mistake they made in putting their faith in Pavelec, Reimer would have to become truly upset with the situation in Toronto, the Jets would have to be aggressive in obtaining him, etc. Yet with the capability of both Jets buyouts being available, the presence of Bernier somewhat diminishing the odds of Reimer sticking with the Leafs, and the pure desperation that may (and likely will) come out of Chevy following this season, the chance is there.
What do you think? Are you still holding out for Pavelec? Would you even want Reimer? Are you tired of me trying to get Leafs in the Jets locker room? Let us know in the comments box below!
July 18 2013, 07:51AM
The Jets are not going to buy out any player for the simple reason that they are cheap. Pavelec is average at best but won't be bought out. Other teams buy out their mistakes but not this management group. Jokinen could not have been more of a mistake last season but he will be back because they are cheap. They will burn another season of Evander Kane's career because they are cheap. A very marginal team is essentially unchanged again except for a couple of bottom six forwards. That would be... because they are cheap!
July 18 2013, 12:09PM
Jokinen is the uncontested first line center of this team...which makes it a larger mistake to not address. The Little Ladd Wheeler line is our best line...but they are truly a second line...when Ladd won the Cup he was on the third line. Vancouver was interested in Jokinen as a third line center.
@howard stewart
lol buddy Jokinen is not any where near the uncontested #1 center you pretend him to be. Do you even watch the Jets? Clearly he was the 2nd line centre last year. The Ladd little wheeler line was the 5th highest scoring line in the entire NHL last season obviously not "truly" a 2nd line.
As far as the article goes, Reimer is not coming here Im not even sure why this topic is even an artcile might as well been when Jaroslav Halak is coming to Winnipeg.
And almost every single Jets fan I know does NOT share your views on Pavelec lol
I never read the links but it doesn't surprise me some people don't like the goalie of the team they cheer for. Personally I think the jets team defence sucked last year and constantly left pavy exposed to many great scoring opportunities. Pavelec isn't a star goalie but he's a good goalie and he's still young. If he was in phoenix playing in dave tippets system his stats would be way better but that doesn't mean his skill set has changed
July 21 2013, 02:03PM
Wow was that a nice Kings trade to get a 2nd rd pick, Scrivens and Frattin for a decent 1a goalie. Leafs record with Reimer: 53-32-14. Without: 45-56-12. He is injury prone so not out of the question, but with Pavelec signed for three more yrs is a pointless trade. Sweden and Russia are stacked but both have only 3.5 FW lines so vulnerable to injury. Tsn put out their 2014 team. I have Green for Girardi. Kadri, Kane, Marleau, Couture, J.Carter for Bergeron, E.Staal, M.Richards, Sharp, St.Louis. And Reimer...jeez. Holtby and Brodeur. I figure Getzlaf and M.Richards might take penalties in Russia. Watch Bobrovsky and watch the Swedish D's breakout. Hope they don't cut away from 4 bronze medal game goals to show Russian clubs.


text: Downright neighborly By Julie Robinson April 6, 2013 Chris Dorst Arlington Court residents gather on a wintry midweek evening in February. Carter Zerbe (from left) chats with Gary Rider, while Claudette Hudson-Rider, Colleen Anderson and Laura Lou Harbert talk in the townhouse of hosts Shawn Means and Amy McLaughlin. Chris Dorst Shawn Means and Amy McLaughlin welcome guests to their townhouse. McLaughlin purchased and lived in the townhouse before she met Means. He quickly joined McLaughlin in her appreciation of Arlington Court and its residents. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When builders broke ground on the Arlington Court apartment building 100 years ago, another construction project garnered more newsprint. Luna Park, an amusement park on Charleston's West Side, opened in 1913 with much fanfare.The park is long gone, but Arlington Court, which stretches between Lee and Quarrier streets on the East End, not only remains standing, but also houses a vibrant community of residents.The residents share more than an address. Most are friends, or at least acquaintances -- they don't have much choice in the 22 attached units, which all feature front porches that sit in close proximity to each other and to the walkway that divides the diminutive, individually tended plots.In warm weather, the courtyard is dotted with neighbors chatting informally or gathered for several scheduled celebrations such as a summer cookout or an Oktoberfest. Forced outdoors during the winter months to walk their dogs, some hardy souls still visit, but Shawn Means and Amy McLaughlin make sure everyone has a chance to visit weekly in February. They host Hibernal Humpday Happy Hour on Wednesdays, brightening one of the year's most dreary months.Friends and neighbors brave the cold, bearing snacks and perhaps a bottle of wine. They share a libation and a bite as they catch up on news.The Wednesday events became so popular that the residents recently decided to hold them year-round, rotating hosting duties. "We have every spot covered through the end of the year," McLaughlin said.It's hard to say if the original residents were a sociable crowd. They were largely professionals, according to Means, who has researched the court's history and created an Arlington Court Community page on Facebook.The oldest resident record Means found was the 1914 Polk City Directory in which residents' occupations are listed as clothiers, a tailor, lawyers, statehouse employees, a dentist and live-in domestics.The units are nearly identical in size, except for the four on the ends, which are larger. Some townhouses were occupied by just a few people, while the directory listed others as two families sharing the 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom places. "They were built during a time of great expansion in Charleston. They needed housing," Means said. Maple Court, a similar row of townhouses in the next block, was constructed at about the same time."From the references we find in the society pages, we know they were part of that culture," said Means of the residents' social status. He found newspaper accounts, mostly on the society pages, of residents' weddings, parties, honors and even hospital stays.A June 30, 1929, story reads, "Miss Peggy George entertained Wednesday night with a delightful party held at the YWCA preceded by dancing and a slumber party at her home No 15 Arlington Court. A breakfast was served to the small guests. A pink and white color scheme was used with roses and sweet peas in the center of the table."The scene probably changed during the Depression, a time from which Means said he found many notices seeking boarders from residents whose fortunes had changed. A more prosperous time reigned after World War II.The standards slipped in the late 1960s and 1970s, when absentee landlords didn't keep up with repairs and maintenance. "The place was old and attracted sort of sketchy people. There was reputed drug activity," Means said. Enter developer Brooks McCabe, who purchased the units in 1981 and formed Arlington Court Neighborhood Inc. for the purpose of reviving and transforming the building into condominiums. McCabe's grandfather Robert McCabe was one of the original owners and incorporators of Arlington Court. "We can't say enough good about Brooks McCabe. He looked at the neighborhood and wanted to keep it. He decided not to do big developments that would appeal to high-end buyers," said resident Colleen Anderson.Means said McCabe envisioned an artists colony in the space. The court has been home to artists such as Paula Clendenin, Molly Erlandson, Ron Sowell, David Riffle, Charly Jupiter Hamilton and Reidun Ovrebo.Today, artists and authors join business owners, doctors, nonprofit and association executives and professionals, teachers and a career Marine as residents. Most of them support the arts and say they like to walk to the many concerts and exhibits at venues nearby.Colleen Anderson, a writer and musician, moved to Arlington Court in 1976, moved away briefly, returned in 1981 and hasn't budged since."I love it. The layout encourages community. It's a good way to find out that the people are wonderful. They might be someone you wouldn't necessarily choose as a friend otherwise," Anderson said. "I've lived here for more than half my life." Neighbors there watch out for each other, and always have. Anderson remembered when a severe snowstorm hit Charleston in the late 1970s and Gov. Jay Rockefeller encouraged residents to check on elderly neighbors. She and her roommate invited Marcus Kornstein, a retired tailor, for dinner."He didn't leave for three days," she said.Her life at Arlington Court inspired Anderson to write both a song, "Neighborhood," and a children's book, "Missing: Mrs. Cornblossom," which she reads aloud to local schoolchildren.Steve and Katy White moved to Arlington Court last year, taking up residence in their daughter's condominium while she moved into the family home in Knollwood. "We just swapped. We didn't need 4,500 square feet and 15 acres," Katy White said. "Now I have more time with my grandkids. I walk our dog three to five miles a day."Arlington Court reminds Laura Lou Harbert of her hometown of Hinton, where everyone knew each other. "I wanted the neighborhood feel of Hinton. We walked everywhere," said Harbert, who previously lived in St. Albans. "I didn't go to the symphony or plays before I lived here, but now I can take part in Charleston's cultural activities. And there are many."Kay Michael and her husband, Jim Reader, have lived in Arlington Court for six years. They moved from a large house on Quarrier Street. She helped her husband see the potential of the unit, which needed extensive renovations.They live in the house with three cats and a golden retriever named Lily, who is friends with another golden retriever down the row. They're two of nine Arlington dogs.While discussing what brought them to Arlington Court, several men noted that they'd married into it. Both Means and Chris Ross married women who are residents. They immediately embraced the location from which they can walk nearly everywhere -- restaurants, the ballpark, work, concerts at Haddad Riverfront Park and the Clay Center, all without designating a driver."I grew up in Charleston, but I never really saw the city. I have a whole new appreciation of Charleston, just from walking all around here," said Ross, whose wife is Angela Vance."I can't think of the last time I had a community where I lived," he said. "I love it here. We know the neighbors and share food and experiences. We wouldn't give it up for anything."Reach Julie Robinson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1230.

It's quite possible you've heard by now that the Ingham County Circuit Court voted to empanel a one-person grand jury yesterday to further investigate the election fraud case surrounding Speaker of the House Jase Bolger and State Representative Roy Schmidt.
While it's unfortunate for our state that a step like this would ever have to be taken, it is the right step to take that will finally result in a thorough and impartial investigation into this matter. It's what Senator Whitmer asked for last week, and it's what the people of Michigan have been calling for since news of this scandal first broke.
It is now time to let justice take center stage and for us to allow the grand jury to conduct its review of the case. While that takes place, however, there remain other unanswered questions that must be raised.
First, will Governor Snyder continue to avoid commenting on what has taken place by claiming it is strictly a "legislative matter" now that it is in the hands of the judicial system? Will he continue to deny the impact it is having on his own administration or the trust the people of Michigan have in the integrity of our Government? Does he still not recognize the terrible impact Speaker Bolger's actions are having on our ability to get the private sector to believe in Michigan and invest here once again?
To Attorney General Bill Schuette, I ask why it took others to step up and request this grand jury investigation into the matter while he, our state's top law enforcement officer, refused to get involved? Why is he spending his time in Tampa at the Republican National Convention this week while a thorough investigation of corruption within our State Government has begun without him anywhere in sight? Why did he tell the people of Michigan that there was no reason to believe a crime was committed in this case when the Ingham County Circuit Court ruled "there is probable cause to suspect that certain crimes and offenses have been committed?"
It's disappointing that either the Governor or the Attorney General would ever put their politics ahead of justice, but that appears to be exactly what has happened in this case. For these two, whether or not they had any knowledge or involvement in the fraud committed by Jase Bolger and Roy Schmidt, they owe the people of Michigan an explanation as to why they refused to step up, do the right thing, and demand accountability from those who were elected to serve our state.
We deserve a response to those questions. I hope that others will join me in asking them for answers.

CHICKASHA – Despite improvements, both Drover basketball teams fell to Rogers State University on Saturday night.
The Drover women had a tough time against the Hillcats. They held the lead eight times, but in the end, the Drovers couldn't keep a hold of the ball and were defeated 69-57.
Senior Aita Gueye made seven field goals and five of her six free throws on Saturday night. She came out with 19 points and five rebounds.
Vernisha Moss added another nine points and six rebounds to the Drovers' total.
The women fall to 7-20 and 3-17 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
The Drover men shot more than 50 percent from the field in their conference match up, but their 75 points weren't quite enough to overtake the Hillcats, who are now third in the conference standings. The Drovers were defeated 77-75.
The game went into final seconds when Thomas Peter's last-second half-court attempt hit a speaker on the ceiling and came down shy of the goal.
Peters had 20 points in the game, but it was Phillips Harris who came out as USAO's highest scorer Saturday night. After making every one of his two-point attempts and four threes, Harris came out with 24 points on the night.
Seven-foot senior Damian Lewis had a double double in the game, scoring 11 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
The men fall to 10-16 overall and 6-14 in conference play.
Both teams have a challenge up next: Oklahoma City. The Drovers will play at OCU on Thursday night before returning home for their final game – and Senior Night – on Saturday. Tip off for those games will be at 6 and 8 p.m.
