1. Admission
Admission in based on students ability to meet the academic standards requisite to each Willamette University program; applicants are evaluated without regard to disability. Federal law prohibits preadmission inquiry.
2. Confidentiality
Documentation and the nature of the disability is confidential information. At no time would the documentation be shared without written consent of the student. Students are requested to sign an acknowledgment that exchange of some information may need to take place between disability services and certain staff and/or faculty in order to comply with the student needs; however, neither the specific diagnosis of the disability nor the specific nature of other confidential concerns is released. Students also have the prerogative of whether they grant permission for the Accessible Education Services office to communicate with parents.
Please see the Selected Policies Manual, sections 4,5 and 6.
3. Academic Support
All CLA students are eligible for individual consultations about study strategies, time management, academic expectations, and effective communication. Free tutoring is also available through Academic Support.
Mathilda (Mat) Barreiro, Learning Commons Director, can be reached at email@example.com, 503-370-6505.
4. Substitutions/Waivers
All students at Willamette University College of Liberal Arts have a foreign language and mathematics requirement. Faculty have deliberated and determined that the course of study outlined is requisite to a Bachelor of Arts degree at this University and any major changes would fundamentally alter the nature of the degree. These requirements are important to a well-rounded education and foreign language requirements promote diversity on campus. (Guckenberger vs. Trustees of Boston University).
5. Field Placement Positions (Internships)
Students considering a practicum off campus need to discuss accommodation needs in a timely manner with the Accessible Education Services office and practicum supervisor. The student should request a position description that clearly identifies the essential functions of the field placement position. Accommodations become a collaborative process utilizing multiple resources.
6. International Education
Willamette University offers study abroad and off-campus study opportunities in the form of semester and summer programs. All students are encouraged to consider participating in off campus studies and internships. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to plan early for this opportunity as host sites are not necessarily experienced in providing accommodations. It would be prudent to include the Accessible Education Services office in the process to assist in reviewing the primary activities of the program and the overall living conditions to determine compatibility with needs.
For more information, visit International Education.
7. Parking Permits/Campus Safety
Students holding a DMV-issued permit, may present that to the Office of Public Safety with a request to purchase an all-campus permit that will allow parking in designated disability spaces on campus. You will be ticketed if you do not have the appropriate Willamette University tag.
For more information, visit Campus Safety's section on Parking and Transportation.
8. Library Assistance
For your convenience and to facilitate the library staff in serving all patrons equally, students seeking additional assistance should schedule an appointment with the library. Scheduling an appointment will guarantee that you obtain the assistance you need when you want it. Library staff are available Monday-Friday. Patrons with disabilities in need of more assistance than the library staff is able to provide should contact the Director of Accessible Education Services.
9. Service and Emotional Support Animals

Service and Assistance Animal Policy
I. Introduction
Willamette University is committed to making reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. Students with disabilities who require the use of service animals are permitted to bring such animals on campus provided they do not pose a substantial and direct threat to health or safety of others or when the presence of the animal constitutes a fundamental alteration to the nature of the program or service. The University may place other reasonable conditions or restrictions on a service or assistance animal depending on the nature or characteristics of the animal. Students who wish to bring a service animal to campus are strongly encouraged to partner with Accessible Education Services. Accessible Education Services is responsible for administering this policy for students. For faculty and staff, Human Resources is the designated department to make appropriate arrangements.
II. Definitions
Service Animal:
Any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. The work or task a service animal has been trained to provide must be directly related to the functional limitations of the person's disability. Miniature horses may be considered service animals in some cases. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals. In general, a service animal is allowed on campus anywhere it is safe for it to be, including housing. However, after consultation with the student, Willamette University may determine if there are any parameters necessary regarding where a service animal is not allowed on campus. Consideration will be given to other persons with disabilities, safety, and other factors.
Assistance Animal:
"Assistance animals," also known as therapy animals, emotional support animals, or comfort animals provide assistance or emotional support which alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of an individual's disability. Some, but not all, assistance animals receive training. Assistance animals are prescribed to an individual with a disability by a healthcare professional or mental health professional. Assistance animals are an integral part of a person's treatment process to assist in alleviating the symptoms of an individual's disability. There must be a relationship, or nexus, between the individual's disability and the assistance the animal provides.
Federal law provides that assistance animals are not service animals; do not accompany an individual at all times; and are permitted only in the individual's assigned residence and outdoor spaces under proper handling. Nonetheless, pursuant to the Willamette University Dogs on Campus policy, dogs acting as assistance animals may be brought into academic buildings when it is safe and reasonable to do so. Students with assistance dogs may choose to follow campus policies regarding dogs on campus.
III. Policy on Service Animals
In compliance with applicable law, service animals are allowed in buildings, classrooms, residence halls, dining areas, recreational facilities, and events when the animal is accompanied by an individual with a disability who indicates the animal is trained to provide a specific service directly related to their disability.
When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, the University may ask two questions:
• Is the animal required because of a disability?
• What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
Students requesting a service animal in university housing must complete the Accessible Education Services housing accommodation process.
IV. Procedure for Requesting Assistance Animals
A person requesting an assistance animal in university housing must make a formal request through both Accessible Education Services and Residential Services. Guidelines for student responsibilities can be accessed from Residential Services. As with all housing accommodation requests, please allow approximately 30 days to process requests.
V. Responsibilities of Individuals Using Service or Assistance Animals
Care and Supervision: Care and supervision of the animal are the sole responsibility of the person who benefits from the animal's use. The person is required to maintain full control of the animal at all times. The person will be individually and exclusively responsible for all aspects of caring for, feeding, health, and the well-being of the animal. The person is also responsible for ensuring the cleanup of the animal's waste and, when appropriate, must toilet the animal in areas designated by the University consistent with the reasonable capacity of the person.
Licensing: The animal must meet all applicable state and county licensing requirements. We reserve the right to request documentation that the animal has been licensed.
Health: The animal must be kept clean and healthy and be immunized according to Oregon law. Preventive measures should be taken at all times for flea, tick, and odor control.
Leash: Animals must be harnessed, leashed, or inside a carrier device, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
Damage: The owner of a service/assistance animal is solely responsible for and agrees to accept and incur any and all liability and legal damages awarded to any third party as a result of bodily injury to persons or damage to the University or another's property beyond normal wear and tear caused by his or her service animal.
Appropriate Animal Behavior in Public Settings: The animal will not be allowed to sniff people, tables in eating areas, or the personal belongings of others; initiate contact with someone without the owner's direct permission; display any disruptive or aggressive behaviors or noises.
VI. Responsibilities of Faculty, Staff, Students, and Other Members of the University Community regarding Service Animals
Members of the University community are required to abide by the following practices:
Allow a person to have a service animal accompany him or her at all times and in all places on campus, except where animals are specifically prohibited.
• Do not inquire for details about the person's disability. The nature of a person's disability is a private matter.
• Do not pet a service animal. It distracts the animal from the task at hand and service animals may be protective.
• Do not separate or attempt to separate a person from his or her service animal.
VII. Areas Off Limits to Service Animals
Certain areas on campus are off-limits to service animals. Such areas may include but are not limited to food preparation areas, rooms with heavy machinery, custodial closets, areas where protective clothing is required, and areas that can pose a safety risk to the animal.
VIII. Exclusion of Service Animal
Consistent with federal and state law, the University may exclude or remove a service animal if the animal's behavior or presence poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. A service animal may also be excluded if the animal is not housebroken. If the animal is excluded or removed, the University will give the individual who uses the animal the option of returning to the University activity without the animal.
IX. Conflicting Disabilities/Medical Conditions
A student with a disability/medical condition that is affected by animals should contact Accessible Education Services if he or she has a health or safety related concern about exposure to a service animal. For faculty and staff, the individual should contact the Office of Human Resources. The person asserting the conflicting disability/medical condition must provide appropriate medical documentation that identifies the condition(s) and the need for an accommodation. Appropriate action under federal and state law will be taken to consider the needs of all persons involved and to resolve the conflict as efficiently and effectively as possible.

The latest employment report is encouraging to many economists because the stronger job growth doesn't appear to be just a one-month blip. But some worry that it's so strong the Federal Reserve may pull back efforts to boost the economy.
The Labor Department's newest data released Friday shows the U.S. added 195,000 jobs in June. The prior two months were also revised upwards — above 190,000 for both April and May.
That's three months of more robust job growth.
"It looks like the labor market is quite a bit stronger than we initially assumed," says Paul Edelstein, director of Financial Economics at IHS Global Insight. "That's despite some of the headwinds that are coming from overseas and from the federal sequester, so it looks like the economy is just doing better than we thought."
That said, the mandatory federal cutbacks as a result of the sequester are costing the country at least some jobs. The jobs gains announced Friday weren't enough to push down the unemployment rate, which remains at 7.6 percent.
John Challenger heads up Challenger Grey & Christmas, which helps laid-off workers find new jobs. His firm has been tracking some of the sequester-related cuts.
"Over 10,000 of those job cuts have been made so far this year, and they're coming from all areas of the economy — prisons, schools. We saw this month a uranium enrichment plant cut jobs because an Energy Department grant had been pulled back," Challenger says. The defense and aerospace industries are also feeling job cuts, he says.
Still, the job growth in the private sector now appears to be strong enough that some people worry that the Federal Reserve might start to pull back on its efforts to boost the economy. Fed officials recently signaled that they're considering a pull-back or a "tapering" of that support if the economy continues to improve. And markets have been nervous because they're uncertain as to when the Fed might act.
"Easy monetary policy has been a major plus for the economy over the past nine months or so," Edelstein says. "I'm concerned that they may have stumbled more recently by talking about tapering because then markets don't believe that the Fed is committed to these policies, and they'll be less effective."
For example, mortgage interest rates rose after the Fed began talking about this. If rates kept rising a lot, that might slow the housing recovery.
But other experts disagree.
Martin Feldstein, an economist at Harvard and the former top economic adviser to President Reagan, would like to see the Fed pull back on its efforts because he says they aren't having that much of a positive impact on the economy.
"But it's increasing the risks in the economy because interest rates are so artificially low that more and more investors are taking risks that could hurt the economy as they unwind," Feldstein says.
He and others worry that low interest rates push people to chase higher returns in shakier investments. That can lead to bubbles in the price of stocks and certain types of bonds.
That's not to say that Feldstein thinks the economy is off to the races and doesn't need any help at all. He says the latest jobs numbers are a good sign, and the housing market has been a bright spot lately. But, he says, "the rest of the economy is really very weak."
Feldstein says, for example, overall gross domestic product growth remains quite sluggish. The economy grew at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the first three months of 2013.
For its part, the Obama administration is certainly happy to see the better-than-expected jobs numbers.
"I think today's report is part of a picture of a recovery that's gaining traction, but the president is not satisfied given how deep the hole is," says Alan Krueger, the president's top economic adviser.
Over the past year, the number of long-term unemployed has fallen by 1 million people. But that still leaves 4.3 million Americans looking for work who've been unemployed for 6 months or longer.

More charges against man accused of attacking meteorologist
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - The man accused of shooting a local meteorologist now faces more charges.
Gerald Taylor is now facing perjury charges.
Prosecutors say Taylor lied to the court about his finances when he requested the public defender. The court initially appointed an attorney to represent him, but Taylor has since hired his own lawyer.
Police say Taylor broke into the home he once shared with WJHL meteorologist Rob Williams and assaulted him with a crossbow, then tried to shoot him with a pistol earlier this year.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
Three Northeast Mississippi counties will soon receive money from Toyota to spend for educational purposes.
Supervisors in Pontotoc, Union and Lee counties will determine exactly how they will use the $300,000 each will get.
The payments are being made in-lieu of Toyota's ad valorem taxes, as part of an agreement reached when Toyota located its new plant in Blue Springs.
The money is split evenly between the three counties in the PUL Alliance, which worked together to attract the automaker. It is to be used for education because it replaces tax money that would go to school districts.
This money is entirely separate from the $50 million gift Toyota agreed to provide to enhance education in the eight school districts in the PUL counties. Toyota is providing that money in $5 million installments over 10 years and was not obligated to do so. The plan is for it to establish an endowment to benefit all eight districts.
Meanwhile, supervisors will determine how the in-lieu-of tax money will be spent. Since the Toyota plant is located in Union County, it must first go through that county's tax assessor and the PUL Alliance before it reaches the counties, likely in April.
According to the technical assistance division of the state auditor's office, the boards of supervisors of the member counties can apportion the sum between school district purposes and all other county purposes.
Pontotoc County Supervisors President Wayne Stokes said he expects his district to divide the money between the Pontotoc City and Pontotoc County School Districts, based upon a per-pupil ratio.
"It is not set in concrete, but that is what we're thinking right now," he said.
Union County Supervisors President Danny Jordan said they are undecided about what to do with the money.
"We know it will be for schools, but we don't know how," he said.
Bobby Smith, president of the Lee County supervisors, also said the board had not yet decided how it would spend the money, other than that it would be for education.
"It covers a wide area," he said. "It can cover anything from 4H to anything in schools. We'll be looking at the needs and seeing where the need is and making sure we are good stewards of that money and that it goes where most effective."
The executive director of Three Rivers Planning and Development District, which administers the PUL Alliance, said the money will not likely result in a big payment to school districts. That's because much of it could be counted in a county's tax base, Randy Kelley said.
"It won't be a big surplus of money coming in every year," he said.
When school districts create their budgets, they tell their local taxing authority how much money they will need. They are allowed to request up to 104 percent of the amount they received the previous year.
The taxing authority then takes that amount and looks at its tax base to determine how many tax mills it will take to get that amount.
With the extra money from Toyota increasing the tax base, Kelley said, it could make a mill more valuable and cause local taxpayers to be charged less money. But that means those school districts would not receive any extra money beyond what they request in their budgets.
"I really believe there has been some misconception that the schools would get $300,000 a year to do what they want with it," Kelley said. "This is just going to increase the tax base like a new industry in the county would."
There will be some gray area in the case of city or line school districts that do not normally receive tax money from the county, Kelley said. Those districts may receive extra money or no money. Supervisors also have some flexibility with this money, he said.
Each of the three counties has at least two school districts, a county one and a city one. Lee County has four school districts, including two line districts, Baldwyn and Nettleton.
State law allows companies with a capital investment greater than $100 million to reach an agreement to pay a determined sum in lieu of its ad valorem taxes for its first 10 years. That sum must be at least one-third of the company's ad valorem levy.
In this case, Toyota agreed to a minimum payment of $3.4 million, a total that includes $2.5 million that will go to local governments to make bond payments related to Toyota improvements and $900,000 split between the three counties for educational purposes.
The money for education begins this year and lasts for 10 years. After that point, Toyota must pay its regular ad valorem taxes. The bond payments began last year and continue until the bonds are paid off in 2026.

Skip to comments.Time Capsule: Mike Wallace hammers Margaret Sanger in 1957 interview
Posted on 12/03/2010 4:23:28 PM PST by wagglebee
December 3, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 1957, an aging Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and the international birth control movement, agreed to an interview with CBS News Mike Wallace. In stark contrast with the sympathetic reception Sanger could expect to receive today in a network television interview, Wallace hammered Sanger with difficult questions and caught her in contradictions, while Sanger squirmed, fidgeted, and denied statements she had made only a week earlier in pre-interview discussions with CBS staff.
This fascinating and sometimes chilling interview with Sanger can be found at the website of the Harry Ransom Center, which is located at the University of Texas, and which has published all of the installments of the Mike Wallace Interview from 1957 and 1958. In the interview, Sanger expounds upon her views on a variety of topics, including birth control, eugenics, population growth, homosexuality, marriage, and religion.
Among the more revealing moments is Sangers explanation of the greatest sin of having children who violate her eugenic standards, and have no chance ... to be a human being practically.
Asked if she believes in sin, Sanger tells Wallace: I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world, that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things, just marked when theyre born. That to me is the greatest sin that a people can commit.
However, pressed by Wallace about her beliefs about sin, Sanger at first refuses to answer, and then balks at recognizing infidelity as such. I dont know about infidelity, it has so many personalities to it, and what a persons own belief is, I couldnt generalize, she says, after Wallace insists that she respond to the question.
Sanger balks even more when Wallace begins to cite statements she has made publicly, even to his own staff, claiming that she has been misquoted. At first Sanger rejects the claim made in the womans magazine Redbook, in reference to contraception, that immunity from parenthood encourages promiscuity particularly when unmarried persons can so easily avail themselves of the [birth control] devices. But Wallace then reads Sangers own words from a Philadelphia Daily News article from 1942, encouraging the use of birth control to avoid illegitimacy.
You were not advocating Christian morality but rather ways for single women to avoid bearing illegitimate children, Wallace tells her. I doubt it, Sanger responds curtly. I dont believe I ever made such a remark. Sanger also denies telling a CBS staff member that it should be made illegal for any religious group to prohibit dissemination of birth control, even among its own members. I dont think I said it quite that way, she protests.
Given Margaret Sangers role in founding Planned Parenthood, one might expect the interview to mention abortion, but the topic is only addressed in passing. When the interview was conducted in 1957, abortion was illegal throughout the United States, and Sanger always claimed to oppose the practice, as did Planned Parenthood at that time. However Planned Parenthood would go on after Sangers death in 1966 to become the biggest abortion provider in the world, focusing mainly on the impoverished groups whom she had once referred to as human waste.
Asked about her belief in God, in a sense of a divine being that rewards or punishes after death, Sanger responds, I have a different attitude about the divine. I feel that we have divinity within us. And the more we express the good part of our lives, the more the divine within us expresses itself. She claimed to be Episcopalian.

I can't imagine Mike Wallace doing a similar interview 30 years later.
Bump for later.
She is now as famous as Che' in the eyes of the leftists. Truly one of their icons.
Back in the late 50's, Mike's interview chair was the hottest seat in television. No matter who you were, you had to be crazy to go on his interview show.
bookmarking this one for later! I have to say, what an iconic Phillip Morris cigarette commercial lead-in to the show! Makes me miss the 50's & 60's. Hey...didn't Don Draper have the Phillip Morris account at Sterling, Cooper? Wonder if that was his brain child? ;)
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
She was a racist as well.
Yep, she is the perfect icon for the scumbag left.
Back when Mike Wallace ALMOST knew what it was like to be a journalist...
I listened to the interview. There was no mention of her eugenics issue. She seemed to say that adults that did not want to have children should be given that choice.
Caliche is hard but isn't "harder than any rock" but I have to say that she comes across better in this interview than she does in many writings. Mike Wallace's presentation of her 1942 words doesn't match what she said. By her words, the violation of Christian morality would occur either way, but the use of birth control would prevent birth or abortion.
The things Mike Wallace presents as the Roman Catholic Church position on natural law would mean that the Church should be against low-calorie foods, or perhaps poor-nutrition foods like cotton candy (as violating natural law of "eating is for an organism to gain nutrition"). And how can anyone say with a straight face in the next breath that celibacy is in accordance with natural law?!?
Only obliquely, when discussing the sin issue.
She seemed to say that adults that did not want to have children should be given that choice.
Yes, and such a decision is not for them to have. That right is to be co-opted by the heirarchy of the Catholic Church, according to some.
And how about her comment on picking up smoking?!
I especially enjoyed Mike Wallace's testimonial for Phillip Morris.
Perhaps. But Sanger was more intersted in the government interfering in that decision by couples.
Intersting interview.
Thanks for posting this.
Yes, you're right...she was big into government sponsorship.
I hope that it was clear I was making comments in reference to the discussion in the video. Some might appear odd out of context.
Pro-Life Bookmark.
Actually, didn't watch the whole thing yet. Saving it for later. Loved the opening, though.
The word itself never passed her lips, in between all the scratching, but she certainly alluded to it when she spoke of what she characterized as "the sin" of bringing certain people into the world.
eugenics: a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed
Yes! I think Don Draper did have Philip Morris. I agree about the iconic TV spot. I was thinking the very same thing.
Very interesting - thanks for posting this!
Thank you for the informative post pointing to a more detailed AV interview of that monster than I knew existed.
I never knew this existed.. Thanks it is always good when light is shed into darkness
Thank you. I enjoyed watching that interview. It was a treasure chest in a time capsule, indeed.
No accounting for leftists' tastes in icons. At least Che was good looking.

The BLM is a leader in our nation's wildland fire management efforts. The Carson City District Office undertakes a broad range of activities to safely protect the public, the natural landscape, wildlife habitat and recreational areas of western Nevada & eastern California. Our local fire management program includes fire suppression, preparedness, fuels management, fire planning, prevention and education, and perhaps most significant, safety. We are also involved in community assistance and protection as a major member of the Sierra Front Wildfire Cooperators.Employment Opportunities in Fire ManagementThe BLM meets these challenges by fielding highly trained and skilled professional firefighters and managers. Reducing the risk and consequence of wildland fires continues to grow in importance; however, suppression operations and safety continue to be the core of the overall fire program.
There are exciting employment opportunities in the BLM's Division of Fire and Aviation Management. At the Carson City District Office there are approximately 30 permanent positions, an average of 60 fire seasonal positions and 5 - 20 Emergency Firefighter (EFF also known as AD's or Casuals) positions. The exact number of seasonal and EFF positions filled depends on the funding available for each specific year. There are many areas in which a person can specialize. These include: actual fire suppression, fuels management, dispatching firefighters and aircraft, managing aircraft and airtanker bases, and providing administrative and equipment support for the fire program. In the suppression jobs, we have firefighters operating wildland some work closely with helicopters and some work on a hotshot crews building firebreaks using hand tools and chainsaws.
Fuels management positions have the challenging task of using fire to restore natural ecosystems. Here fire is intentionally lit to reduce hazard fuels build up or to create a more favorable vegetation type. Dispatchers work in an indoor environment using state of the art equipment and radios to coordinate the movement and support of firefighting resources. At the airtanker bases people manage the loading of fire retardant chemicals on airtankers and coordinate their movements. In the administrative and warehouse personnel manage the payroll of firefighters, most aspects of costs of fires, and order and deliver supplies and equipment to fires. All jobs are important and many offer advancement opportunities.

These seat covers are really nice. Well sewn and fit uniformly on the seats. It only took me about twenty minutes to install these. Only the cover for the fold down center console would not fit. It is way too small for my console and is supposed to fit my model. Nice looking covers just the same and well fitting.

separate tours, without Jonathan Crombie, both in the United States and in Canada. Check,
"The Drowsy Chaperone Tour", website for locations.
08/08 Jonathan is still playing, "Man in Chair", in Seattle, Washington for the last stop of this
Companies show of "The Drowsy Chaperone Tour". After this appearance, new Actors will
take over the roles and continue to take the musical back East. So if you have been putting off
seeing Jonathan and the rest of this excellent company perform in this show, this will be your
last chance. Alicia Irving took over as the character, Drowsy Chaperone and did a fine job
when we saw the show in Sacramento. The other two replacements, for Kitty and the Aviatrix
are also very entertaining. Everyone is so nice and we really loved having the chance to meet
up again with the Cast and Crew. It's been quite an experience for us following this show. Be
careful of what you ask for because oftentimes, in an odd sort of way, it usually comes true.
08/08 The Drowsy Chaperone Tour has left us here in the SF Bay Area but what a great time
we had! Jonathan is still holding his own as, "Man in Chair" and we were so happy to see him
putting on a show out here for us. We met all of the Cast and everyone was wonderful. Most
of the players showed up to strut their stuff for the, "One Night Only" REAF AIDS Benefit and
it was great seeing what has now become many of my favorite Actors singing different songs
from other shows. Well, Jonathan and Richard Vida sang a very revealing song written by Lisa
Lambert that was said to be much too bold for most performances of the popular Musical, "My
Fair Lady". I can only imagine Ms. Lambert sitting back, watching that show, then finding the
urgent need to cut through all of their, "innuendo" and just say what you mean? An Aids
Benefit seemed like the perfect framework for this song, "Pickering, Relax". Mr. Crombie sang
with a perfect English Accent while Mr. Vida struggled mightily, trying not to laugh over Ms.
Lambert's overly bold lyrics. We had American Idol stand-outs Vonzell Solomon, Constantine
Maroulis and Susan Anton, who sang her heart out too. It was wonderful to be surrounded by
so many performers who are incredibly funny, amazing singers and serious about their
volunteer work for this very worthy cause.
07/08 Congratulations to the whole Drowsy Chaperone Tour Co. for winning a Dora Award,
(Canadian Tony Award), for best Touring Show! They have worked hard for this honor.
Finally the Tour has hit the West Coast
Thank you for helping to support Jonathan's work and making it possible for him to present
this funny show across America. Fans have really been very supportive! The funniest
comments I have read so far are how surprised fans of Jonathan's previous work in the Anne of
Green Gables Series are to find him up on Stage in a touring Broadway Show! Ah, well, I guess
they haven't found this website yet but it is the main reason I put it up on the Web. I too found
myself wondering what else has Jonathan been up to? Well, now you know and I hope you
find some of his other work Entertaining as well.
I really do appreciate the nice comments I have gotten about the website. Thank you for your

4/07 What an amazing visit I had to New York. It was everything and nothing like I believed
it would be like. "The Drowsy Chaperone" though was laugh out loud funny. Not quite what I
expected but something entirely entertaining. More along the lines of "Beach Blanket Babylon",
here in the San Francisco Bay Area and just as much fun. A musical farce it is definitely a
show that will find a welcome audience out here by the Bay.
Jonathan was wonderful and a little excited himself to be so welcomed by so many fans out
there on the East Coast. Even Canadians picked up their passports,(in fear of being stuck here
permanently in the U.S. by our diligent Homeland Security), to show their support of Jonathan
Crombie's Broadway debut. He loves to make people laugh and he achieved that feat in
excess! I was delighted too! Of course, I wasn't surprised but very happy to know others
shared my admiration of this fine Actor and the show's Cast of Kooky Characters. Jonathan
spent many nights after the show signing the barrage of autograph seekers and photo taggers
lined up for autographs. What a guy!
The show is written by Don Mc Keller and Bob Martin, lyrics and music by Lisa Lambert and
Greg Morrison, friends of Jonathan's. His own involvement in the show has been a long one
and they all have been working together to keep the show going on strong.

text: Mrs. Piob and I were debriefing tonight. I told her, 40 years of harder, faster, stronger is hard to overcome, but my golf instructor has it totally correct. Lighter flex than what my upper body might call for that leads to correct swing mechanics. Relaxed and easy = success. Trying to muscle it = failure. Maybe a few years from now I can combine both, but for now, relaxed and easy

Luffy at present strength with all his gears V.S. Sir Crocodile.
Luffy has no knowledge about Sir Crocodile's abilities whatsoever, neither does Crocodile know about Luffy's.
The two fights.
Luffy goes gear 2nd, punches 20000 holes in Croc.
Luffy goes gear 3rd, punches a giant crater.
Luffy goes: "WTF??"
Crocodile turns Luffy into mummy.
Battle is over.
Basically back in Alabasta, during the first Luffy V.S. Crocodile, even if Luffy has his current power level, he still would lose. Luffy only managed to learned Croc's weakness by sheer chance.
The above scenario applies to current Luffy against Smoker as well. Smoker is probably the weakest Logia user thus far. He has no mastery over his devil fruit and smoke doesn't exactly sound as scary as fire or lightning. But Luffy still would lose against Smoker.

Lawmakers on their way out often find themselves making votes they would never even consider making when they were looking at running for re-election. It was lame duck lawmakers, after all, who carried the water for the 67 percent income tax increase approved in the dead of night during the lame duck session of 2011.
There are 41 legislators in the House and the Senate who will not be returning for terms beginning in 2013. With so many legislators leaving, there has been widespread speculation that the lame duck session could be a flurry of activity on controversial issues such as pension reform and gaming expansion.But why can�t legislators change the typical narrative for lame duck sessions? Instead of holding their noses and voting for imperfect legislation � lame duck legislators could help improve the Illinois economy by pushing for lawsuit reform.We desperately need to change the direction our state is headed. Lawsuit reform is not a magic bullet for job growth but it is a place to start. The reality is that companies look to locate or expand their businesses in places where the legal system is fair. A new study released from the highly respected survey company Harris Interactive ranked Illinois� lawsuit climate the fifth-worst in the country and ranked Cook County the nation�s worst local jurisdiction for legal fairness and ranked Madison County the sixth-most unfair and unreasonable jurisdiction in the country.Illinois� lawsuit climate ranked beneath every bordering state including: Indiana (14), Iowa (10), Kentucky (38), Missouri (34), and Wisconsin (15).Illinois�s poor legal climate is hurting the ability of the state to attract new jobs and opportunities. What we need is more jobs � not more lawsuits.###

"Erie County Parks Now Smoke-Free"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Erie County Parks Now Smoke-Free
Please enter your comments below.
Look for the right wing to whine and pout.
Ya know, cigarette addiction is just like voting Republican: it's counter-productive and will kill you, you're paying a lot of money to an industry which ruins lives and has no problem lying and lying and lying with compunction, and you're acting directly against your own interests. Look for the right wing to whine and pout.
more government control
This is just another example of the government running our lives. I don't need them to tell me what to do, when to do it and how high to jump. I grew up with a father who smoked, and guess what??!! My brother and I are still alive and don't have lung problems. I have been a smoker for 30 years and my kids are alive and have NO health problems. The government needs to quit telling lies and stay out of our lives. So much for being the land of the free. We aren't free to do anything.
No cars
I Thinks these morons should walk and leave there cars at home due to the fact I have to be exposed to second hand auto smoke.
Leave it to a half-wit to compare smoking to voting.
There is always going to be someone who makes the most ridiculous comment, see "Look for the right wing to whine and pout.". Here it is, smoking banned from parks in Erie County, and some half-wit starts whining about voters voting republican. You see, half-wit no longer has to put up with second hand smoke in the parks but that isn't good enough, half-wit wants the right to vote taken from us as well(unless you vote the same way half-wit votes). I'm not sorry for my comment either, I am so sick of stupid people giving my rights and freedom up. Half-wit, you are more like a no-wit and you are the reason why this country is falling apart and soon to be broken beyond repair. You actually still believe there is a party system in the USA. If I ever see you in public, I shall blow smoke in your face, which will hopefull give you cancer, because you are the cancer which is killing the USA.
They aren't going to publish my comment.
They aren't going to publish my comment...
Just a thought
Even if there was a law, how could it possibly be enforced? What a waste of time.

The Wave is one of our best-selling combs, and is a particular favorite for wavy and curly hair. This comb also works wonders for people with short hair – the unique rounded teeth help massage the scalp for circulation.
We used a special process of baking olive oil within the plastic as well as NANO. The outcome is a comb that allows for faster drying, and its micro-sized particles fill in the damaged hair to create a seamless surface inhibiting bacterial growth. It eliminates frizz, and is anti-static. It adds a natural soft shine without an oily feeling. This comb also recognizes where excess natural oil deposits are and redistributes them to a proper balance. it also works great for dry cuts by controlling fly away hair.

1) Mayuri probably already knows about Ichigo's Quincy heritage by now, however I think the analysis of his Zanpakuto will yield some interesting new information.
2) SS should hurry up and bring Orihime to fix up Byakuya and Kenpachi.
3) Byakuya staying alive was unexpected, but I am (personally) glad he didn't die.
4) As I've observed before, Ichigo hasn't AFAIK gone into his inner world to meditate with Zangetsu. Whatever he finds in there should prove very interesting.
Bleach has gotten more and more interesting for me lately. (Kishi better watch out)

Seven Wonders of Ireland
From the Cliffs of Moher to Giant's Causeway, Ireland is full of awe-inspiring natural wonders.
The Burren
The BurrenIn County Clare, the Burren consists of 116 square miles of naturally interlocking limestone slabs. Contrasting Irish flora thrives by the limestone in the Burren, nourished by a system of underground streams and rivers that rise to the surface during Ireland's wet weather. 960 1280
Glaciers and Icebergs, Greenland
Glaciers and Icebergs, GreenlandCombine the world's largest island with a total population of only 55,000 and Greenland provides the perfect backdrop for a true bonding experience with nature. Rent a kayak, originally invented by hunters here, and row arctic waters past towering icebergs and glaciers. The waters provide a home to many whale species, including humpbacks with tails up to 16 feet wide. Outdoor excursion opportunities abound, from mountain climbing to hiking and angling -- just be sure to bundle up! Temperatures range from 20 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and much colder in the winter. Experience round-the-clock daylight during the arctic summer or watch the Northern Lights paint dazzling colors across the dark autumn skies. 960 1280
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaThe Great Barrier Reef's vibrant coral and fish form an underwater tropical paradise that promises the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world. Spanning more than 1,200 miles of crystal waters along the coastline, the reef system is the largest and healthiest anywhere. Its isolation from the mainland will put you one-on-one with marine life, seemingly cut off from human contact. Australia offers countless other natural gems in the raw wilderness of its outback, so after exploring the depths of the sea, you can hop in a four-wheel drive and adventure in a totally different world. 960 1280
Grand Prismatic Springs, Yellowstone, Wyoming
Grand Prismatic Springs, Yellowstone, WyomingMore than 1,000 miles of backcountry hiking trails through Yellowstone lead travelers to pristine areas rich with extraordinary wildlife and steaming, bubbling hot springs. Your chances at spotting an endangered grizzly or elk are pretty good -- the park is home to the largest elk herd in North America and one of two grizzly bear populations. You'll no doubt leave with everlasting images of the grand sweep of the rugged Teton mountain range and nature's fireworks leaping from the geysers. 960 1280
Redwood National Park, California
Redwood National Park, CaliforniaVisitors here cannot help but feel awestruck by the unbelievable enormity of the coast redwoods, the tallest and oldest trees on earth. The tallest redwood on record, known simply as "the Tall Tree," is 600 years old and stands more than 350 feet. These majestic examples of nature, which can only be found in California and Oregon, take 400 years to mature and can live to be 2,000-plus years old. Emerging from the darkened paths on foot, bike or horseback, visitors may be shocked to find it is still daylight, and still the 21st century, in a place where time seems to stand still. 960 1280
Mt. Everest, Nepal
Mt. Everest, NepalThe Sherpas and Tibetans worship Everest as Chomolongma, or "Mother Goddess of the Earth." Luckily you don't need to actually climb the 29,000 feet to the "Top of the World" to experience its magnificence and the beauty of the surrounding valleys and forests. 960 1280
Emerald Landscape, Ireland
Emerald Landscape, IrelandThough all of Ireland's landscape is stunning, the southwest region shows visitors at first glance why this is called the Emerald Isle. Lush green pastures stretch as far as the eye can see, and the colorful hills are cut with winding streams. The Lakes of Killarney offer some of the most refreshing natural scenery in the south, which can best be explored by bike or on foot. Take the time to visit the picturesque small towns and villages, like Adare and Kinsale, whose charm and tranquillity will soothe the soul. 960 1280
Diverse Ecosystem, Costa Rica
Diverse Ecosystem, Costa RicaThanks to the biological influences of neighboring North and South America and the Pacific and Caribbean oceans, this small mountainous country is home to one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Thousands of miles of roads and nature trails make it easy to experience the wide spectrum of habitats, from steaming volcanoes to the cloud-shrouded jungles and deserted beaches. A model National Conservation System protects Costa Rica's invaluable natural heritage, including 9,000 different kinds of flowering plants and more species of birds than in the United States, Canada and northern Mexico combined. 960 1280
Gran Sabana, Venezuela
Gran Sabana, VenezuelaLocated within Canaima, a national park the size of Belgium, Gran Sabana is the plateau region between Venezuela and Brazil. The hauntingly beautiful landscape is dominated by the unique "tepuyes" -- flat-topped mountains with steep vertical walls. Tours by jeep and canoe are popular ways of seeing the most scenic spots, but to get the full experience, guided walking tours are the way to go. The dense jungles house exotic plant life, some 20,000 species of orchid alone, and several species of endangered animals, including jaguars and giant armadillos. The rock is some of the oldest on Earth, dating back two billion years, making it one of the nine most ancient geological regions of the world. 960 1280
Desert Sand Dunes, South Africa
Desert Sand Dunes, South AfricaThe southern states of Africa have been the most successful in not only conserving its diverse wildlife, but also in offering visitors the privacy and isolation of intimate camps apart from the mass tourism more common in the north. You'll surely want to plan a safari in one of these regions where more than 90% of the continent's rhinos and the largest herds of elephants can be found. Africa's stunning landscape of coastal cliffs, enormous desert sand dunes and magnificent waterfalls have been shaped by over four billion years of geological activity. 960 1280
