By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Some Ferron residents along Bowden Lane have been complaining about a gasoline smell in their homes, suspected of coming in the sewer drains for the past week. After complaints to the Castle Valley Special Service District, the district has taken action to get to the bottom of the odor. The district flushed all of the lines and used the vactor truck to clean the sewer drains. These actions didn't stop the problem and the odor is still present.
Friday the crews dug a hole at the corner of 100 South and State Street. This is the spot which is the end of the line for that particular line. The crew severed the pipe at that location and the cement truck came and the pipe and surrounding area was filled with cement. It is hoped this will fix the problem by not allowing the gasoline to seep into the sewer line.
CVSSD director Jacob Sharp was on the scene. At the site where the hole was dug, the gasoline puddled at the bottom of the hole on top of the ground water. It is not known where the gasoline is coming from. The two stores in Ferron, have above the ground gas tanks and no buried underground tanks. Research is being conducted in the area to see if there are any possible sources for the gasoline leak. They are looking for any long ago buried and forgotten underground gas tanks. It was mentioned a dairy used to be in the vicinity of the gasoline leak. But, there isn't any information available currently to tell residents where the gasoline is seeping from.
Local haz-mat crews have been notified about the problem. After the Department of Environmental Quality from Price checks out the hole and the gasoline in the hole, then the hole will be filled in again and hopefully the smell will go away for Ferron residents.
Residents complained the odor has given them a headache and dizziness. Attempts to air out the homes hasn't been successful as the smell returns. Information will be posted as details become available in this matter.

The November 2009 meeting of the Emery County School District Board of Education was held at Ferron Elementary School.
Kay Kimball and Rick Roberts of Kimball and Roberts, PC presented the auditor's report for fiscal year 2009. Kimball mentioned his appreciation to the staff of the school district for their cooperation in preparing for and completing the audit. He was able to report a clean opinion on the financial statements of the school district.
Kimball then reviewed various portions of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, explaining the different sections of the report to the Board of Education. Roberts explained the process of the single audit as well as some of the reports pertaining to federal funding. Jared Black, business administrator thanked Kimball and Roberts for performing a good audit and mentioned that recognition for the financial success and reporting in the district goes to the many secretaries, principals and district office employees who adhere to District policies regarding finances. Black took a few minutes to point out various bits of information from the report. Marie Johnson, board member thanked Kimball for his report.
Members of the board considered the warrants as well as the minutes for the October 2009 Board meeting and the financial reports for September and October 2009.
Supt. Kirk Sitterud recommended to the board that the following individuals be approved for the positions indicated, beginning their responsibilities immediately: Andrea Johansen-volunteer swim coach-Emery High; Tammy Oliverson-volunteer swim coach-Emery High. He added that both coaches must be certified in water safety as well as pass a background check.
Supt. Sitterud recommended a policy revision to policy JICFA: Bullying and Hazing. He explained that this policy was initially passed by the board only a year ago, but since that time, the State Board of Education has revised their bullying and hazing rule, which requires the district to update its policy to be compliant. The main change in policy is adding mandatory training requirements on all aspects of bullying. This training is required for faculty, staff and students. He has found a DVD that can be used to train faculty and staff and it has been ordered. He is still looking for an appropriate training resource for students.
Principal Brian Dawes welcomed the board to Ferron Elementary and thanked them for their support of the school. He recognized the recent passing of Mark DeBry, husband of employee Darline DeBry. It has been a difficult time emotionally for the school as many employees are close to the DeBry family.
He reported that absentee levels are back to normal after reaching a high of 102 students absent a couple of weeks ago. He recognized the employees new to Ferron Elementary this year, noting that they have assimilated well with the existing faculty and staff. Ferron Elementary is receiving an award as a "Utah High Performing Title I School". School-wide, language arts scores were at the 95th percentile and math scores were at the 92nd percentile. He attributed these results to a dedicated and competent group of faculty and staff who strive to help each student. They are holding meetings each six weeks to discuss the needs of each student and this process has resulted in better teaching and achievement. Johnson thanked Principal Dawes for his work, noting that the school has a feeling of cohesiveness. Sam Singleton, board member also mentioned the great atmosphere at Ferron Elementary and the congeniality of the faculty and staff.
Supt. Sitterud recognized the recent passing of Mark DeBry, as well as the passing of Roger Curtis, a former teacher for the district and Henry Clarke, husband of the district's transportation secretary, Janice Clarke. He updated the board on the recent closure of Cleveland Elementary.
The State Board has ruled to allow the school to waive the three days of missed school as long as 990 hours of education are completed by the end of the regular school year. Ferron Elementary is being awarded as a High Performing Title I school. Huntington Elementary has also received this designation and should be commended. Supt.

very comfy
"I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes enable me to walk pain-free for long hours at a time. The heel area 'sinks' down a bit as I walk , relieving my heel pain, and also causes my calf muscles to stretch out a bit. I love these shoes! This is my sixth pair, in different colors - I wore them all last summer."

Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples:
Note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free.
JVCC MT-02 Crepe Paper Grade Masking Tape is an economical overstock masking tape from a major manufacturer which comes on a stripped cardboard core. It is a solvent-resistant crepe paper coated with a natural rubber adhesive specifically designed for paint masking applications. The adhesive removes cleanly from a surface without leaving residue or ghosting behind. It is also designed for general-purpose masking as well as for holding, sealing and splicing wherever stain and transfer resistance is desired. The crepe paper backing on the tape also provides elongation required to mask around tight curves. The 1/4 inch width size provides an economical way to tie off produce and other plastic bags. As noted previously this is an overstock product and different manufacturer products and lots are used to fulfill orders so for each width ordered the shading and thickness of the tape may vary. Since this product is overstock it offers lower adhesion than a non-overstock item. Overstock items are sold AS IS an are NOT returnable.
Please note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice- free. Tape rolls are typically cut to standard tape industry metric-cut sizes - or approx 5% narrower than the nominal size (i.e. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered).
Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths (e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to exactly 152mm instead of 144mm).

One day, a woman carrying a particularly suspicious tray of cookies passed her near the main entrance to Bolingbrook High School. A slight interrogation and a few cookies later, Jones was on her way to earning her first college degree at age 51 – joining her two sisters as first-generation college graduates.
The cookie carrier was an academic advisor with Benedictine University who told Jones about a program that would allow her to go back to school while saving as much as 25 percent on tuition. Intrigued, and wanting to verify the truth of the woman's claims, she attended an information session and brought along her sister, Prescillia Spencer.
Two years later, Jones, a paraprofessional at Bolingbrook High School, graduated from Benedictine University with an Associate of Arts in Business Administration degree. Her sisters, Pamela Kuykendall and Spencer, both of Naperville, graduated with her.
Kuykendall spearheaded the sisters' educational pursuits, earning an Associate of Arts in Business Administration from Benedictine in 2010. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Management. Spencer earned an Associate of Arts in Business Administration.
The sisters always believed in hard work and education, but did not have the opportunity earlier in life to earn degrees. The grandmothers of a collective 21 grandchildren certainly never imagined all three would earn degrees simultaneously.
"I think it's a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever," said Kuykendall, 46, a state of Illinois rehabilitation case coordinator who will graduate with honors. "Who would have ever thought that my sisters and I would be graduating together?"
The sisters grew up with three other siblings on the West Side of Chicago. They learned at an early age what it took to provide for a family. Raised largely by their mother, who worked factory jobs to provide for her six children, the sisters learned the value of family and perseverance.
"Our mom was from Mississippi and did not get a chance to get a higher education," said Spencer, a mother of four and grandmother of 10. "But she taught us about good work ethics and values."
Benedictine's Moser College of Adult and Professional Studies provides flexible programs for non-traditional students and the University's values-based curriculum fit well with the family values of the sisters.
Though the degree pursuits were challenging for the sisters – all of whom are working adults raising children and grandchildren and heavily involved in community service – they encouraged each other to stay on track, remembering the values their mother taught them.
"We were taught one thing, and that is to help each other," Jones said. "When our mother became sick, all of my brothers and sisters got on the phone together and said, 'We need to make a decision and take care of our mom.'
"When we were little, my mom was a single parent and she would pray all the time and sometimes she would make us all sit with her and pray," Jones added. "She would also make us say 'I love you' to each other and said that all we have is each other."
Along with praying together, this family learned to study together. Spencer and Jones even joined the same study group. The prayers and study groups were needed whenever doubt entered anyone's mind about being able to successfully complete a degree program while facing life's normal challenges.
"When I was taking my second class, I thought, I can't do this,'" said Jones, a resident of Romeoville and also a grandmother of 10. "Then I would focus on the reason why I am here – to help my students at Bolingbrook High School be confident that they can do it,"
The sisters' children, some who have graduated or will be graduating from college soon, are very excited and proud to see their mother and aunts achieve at the university level. Each sister is just as proud of each other and themselves.
All three sisters believe the college degrees will enhance their career opportunities. In fact, Jones already received a promotion.
Spurred by an increasingly competitive workplace that limits advancement without postsecondary education, Spencer, 55, a supervisor at Maryville Academy in Bartlett, never imagined she would be earning a college degree at this stage in her life. Now she cannot imagine stopping at an associate degree.
"I did not think I would make it, going back to school at my age," Spencer said. "No way. I have had some fantastic teachers. I do not plan to stop. I plan to go through the bachelor's program. It's hasn't been easy, but it has been a wonderful journey."

Tracking the Department of Youth
October 17 2010 06:59AM
In our weekly look at Oilers prospects, it looks like some of the kids in junior are on their way to breakout seasons. At the AHL level, some prospect progress and some trying times for future Edmonton Oilers.
Last week I looked at the CHL and Europe and planned to devote time to NCAA and AHL prospects this week. I've added a couple of players mentioned last time because their accomplishments this week were very impressive.
- Olivier Roy, Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL) (5gp, 1.94 .933): He looks very strong early in the year, earning first star status for his work a week ago in the Q. His SP leads the league and he sees a lot of rubber (30 shots a game).
- Martin Marincin, Prince George (WHL) (10gp, 4-6-10 +7): A monster week (3gp, 2-4-6 +8) has him in the league's top 40 in overall points, 3rd in rookie scoring and 3rd in points by a defenseman in the WHL. It is early, but not that early. This guy is having an impact at this level.
- Tyler Pitlick, Medicine Hat (WHL) (7gp, 3-5-8 -2): A strong week (2gp, 1-5-6 +3) courtesy the Oil Kings has him on track for his first junior season. No real surprise based on his strong performance at the Oilers training camp early this fall.
- Teemu Hartikainen, OKC (AHL) (4gp, 2-0-2 -5): Don't fret long over that plus minus, the Barons have a few players in that range and beyond at this point. Two goals has him leading Barons rookies in all offensive departments and his 11 shots are third on the team. The young man is adjusting more quickly than the junior kids and college men (at least so far), so that SM-Liiga time appears to have been beneficial for his development.
- Chris Vande Velde OKC (AHL) (4gp, 0-0-0 -7): He is not having an easy time in the AHL. Vande Velde impressed (and stayed awhile) at Oilers training camp but isn't getting much done in Oklahoma. He was on the ice for two shorthanded goals against in 1:06 last night and that is a very good candidate for low point of the season. Hopefully he'll turn it around, but the AHL is a tough league and some adjustment time is clearly required for VV.
- Colin McDonald OKC (AHL) (4gp, 1-2-3 -1): Although technically no longer an Oilers prospect (his deal is with OKC) McDonald is showing very well early this season. That's important, because the NHL penalty-kill is horrible and he might be a player who gets a shot with the big club when they start moving the deck chairs around.
- Linus Omark OKC (AHL) (4gp, 1-0-1 E): Scored the winning goal last night, and that will hopefully kick start the offense. There are going to be NHL callups this season and Omark needs to put himself in a position to earn one of those recalls. Omark talks about the goal here.
- Shawn Belle OKC (AHL) (4gp, 0-0-0 +2): Leads the Barons in plus minus and (along with Richard Petiot) gives the team both experience and a physical element. I'd think he is among the top options for recall among the blue.
- Liam Reddox OKC (AHL) (4gp, 0-1-1 E): I wanted to mention him for a couple of reasons: first, he's a solid option for the PK so may get a callup if the problems continue with Edmonton's PK. Also, he's leading the team in shots on goal (17) which has to count for something. Set up Omark's winner last night.
- Drew Czerwonka Kootenay (WHL) (9gp, 4-2-6 +1): Has already matched his goal scoring total from all of last season. The big winger seems to be getting some powerplay time which will help the offensive numbers.
- Kyle Bigos Merrimack (NCAA) (2gp, 0-1-1 +2): Huge defender (6.05, 235) whose bruising style would probably be more effective in the CHL. Playing for a rebuilding program, they're headed in the right direction.
October 17 2010, 07:52AM
That is a FIST full of prospects! We have some nice depth, but hopefully we can see some better numbers roll in from down south. That is an ugly -7 for Vande Velde to start the season, I could see him sliding back down the depth chart.
I am really excited about what I keep hearing about Olivier Roy. From what I see/hear, all signs look for him to blow past JDD & DD. Can't wait to see him play with the national junior team.
October 17 2010, 08:00AM
@Stone Hands McOsta
I agree. Nice prospects. Looking good for the future! Thanks for the update Lowetide!
I know Marincin was thought of pretty highly by the Oilers, but was anyone expecting him to put up these kind of numbers? If the boy has this kinda offence and can add some muscle to that frame as he fills out, he's gonna be a steal long-term.
@ Lowtide,
There were conflicting reports about Pitlick playing the wing, do you know what position he's playing.
Shadi: Sorry, no. The Tigers website lists 8 centers, though. So someone is playing the wing.
I'm going to ask Cory Graham on Monday, he just called 2 of his games, he should know, but thanks.
October 17 2010, 10:25AM
Good to hear Pitlick is coming around and it's nice to hear that OKC got a fun win. With that type of roster you'd think they're gonna make the playoffs.
Will definitely be heading to the Cats game here on Oct. 29 vs. Acadie-Bathurst to check out Roy. Moncton is scoring some goals so far this year so should be interesting.
Love these updates LT. May have mentioned this before in your own blog but these prospect blogs answer all those types of questions when you are sitting with a fellow Oiler fan and you get asking each other, "what about this guy or that guy they drafted 2nd round 2 years ago, where is he and how is he doing?", it's great, keep it up.
Shadi: Sorry, no. The Tigers website lists 8 centers, though. So someone is playing the wing.
Went to the Red Deer/Med Hat game when they were in Red Deer.
Pitlick was playing RW
Have seen quite a bit of Kootenay Ice hockey over the last few years - I go to most home games. Drew is certainly a different player this year - didn't know he had a set of hands!
He is a big kid who played a crash-bang-fight grinder game last year on a third line role. This year he is seeing quite a bit of ice time on the top two lines and in front of the net on the PP. It explains the sudden surge in production, other than being a year older and drafted. He's a good hard-working kid. Hope he continues to improve.
I read quite a bit of your stuff LT - I check your site and here almost daily. I find it very level-headed with smart analysis. Keep it up!
October 17 2010, 12:32PM
Ryan Martindale is have a good year too 5-5-10 +2 in 9 games
October 17 2010, 12:59PM
Lowetide: What's the worst case scenario for Hall this year? What is the inside scoop? Does Renney have plan B and C?
Will be going the OKC game this afternoon in Houston. Will try to post my 'insights' this evening. Very pleased to see the Oiler's future in person.
October 17 2010, 03:35PM
Woohoo! Prospect update! I do enjoy reading these...
I'm actually quite excited about Marincin. I know we're some years away from thinking about him as an Oiler, but he seems to be a large part of the reason why PG are suddenly good for the first time in awhile. In any case, he (so far) doesn't seem to be having any trouble with the North American game.
October 17 2010, 06:06PM
Cornet's goal was taken away - credited to Giroux instead.
Nice game by the OKC Barons, though. Vande Velde got a goal and an assist -- same for Omark and Petry. Harski keeps his scoring streak alive.
October 17 2010, 06:18PM
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades...
October 17 2010, 06:59PM
OKC had a big game today. 8-2 over Houston, Belle had 4 assists, Omark, VanVelde and Petry all had a goal and an assist, Hartikainen with another goal, Giroux with a pair of goals, Reddox had 7 shots and a goal. Nice to see they're starting to get going in the right direction after a slow start.
October 17 2010, 08:44PM
How is Petry doing so far?
Was a nice effort by OKC. My first time seeing a lot of these guys. Houston mailed it in in the third after being on the power play for most of the second period. Several guys looked good. Ginger played with Omara and Omark.
Omara especially was impressive as a penalty killer. With his utter lack of production, this must be what Lowe/Tambo/whoever see in Omara. He and Reddox were very, very aggressive cutting down ice and isolating guys.
Macdonald played with Giroux for some reason and it sort of works. They seemed pretty invisible and didn't control the puck much, but had three goals between them. Giroux's hands are exceptional. So are Omark's, most of his passes are saucers to the one-time wheelhouse. Humped the goalie on a breakaway.
Alex Plante will play in the show. He was terrific breaking the cycle on the penalty kill and clearing the front of the net without overtly crosschecking guys. He doesn't really have to unload for a guy to stay hit and out of the play for a while. He can really wire a wrist and slapshot too. On the downside, Belle had several unforced errors and Cornet and VdV don't seem confident. Petry looked ok in the O-zone, but quite indecisive on breakouts.
Overall, the team looked better than their record. There is a fair bit of talent here when the injuries hit the Oilers. Omark should be playing with Giroux, but is not yet. He does mix well with Reddox though. Honestly, Omark should be in Edmonton. MPS, Omark, Hall and Eberle, maybe Cogs should alternate games with one upstairs all stay fresh over 82 games.
October 18 2010, 11:18AM
Kyle Bigos Merrimack (NCAA) (2gp, 0-1-1 +2): Huge defender (6.05, 235) whose bruising style would probably be more effective in the CHL.
Kyle Bigos is 21 and was drafted as a 20 year-old out of the BCHL. He's ineligible for CHL hockey LT.
October 19 2010, 08:59AM
Didn't see anything about Curtis Hamilton. Priority number one is for this kid to stay healthy through the year and play as much as he can. But he has been mentioned as being in the mix for the WJ team. Obviously, he needs a very good start to the year to continue to be in the mix for selection.

- After the first 500 people are in the exhibition we can then only let visitors go in as people leave the exhibition. This is for both visitor viewing comfort and conservation reasons. Once you have gone into the exhibition you can come and go as many times as you like in one day but you should ask for a pass out when you leave the exhibition.
Is there a limit to the time I can stay in the exhibition?
- The tickets nominate your entry time only. You can take as long as you like, the exhibition takes approximately 60 minutes to view.

Welcome to Saints Peter & Paul
Catholic Church in Strasburg, Emmons County, North Dakota
the fall of 1888 men out of Strasburg, South Russia came to
this part of Emmons County in search of suitable land for
farming. The first settlers, Jacob Feist, Jacob Baumgartner,
Johannes Baumgartner, Franz Baumgartner (brothers), Kasper
Feist, Joseph Burgad, and Albinus Schneider arrived in the
spring of 1889. They were soon followed by Frank Geisinger,
Egidius Keller, Peter Kraft, Jacob Geffre, Lorenz Schwab and
Martin Schwab -- some of whom moved later on to Karlsruhe,
east of Minot, ND. The times were difficult with no crops
and only buffalo bones they'd collect and sell to buy a little
flour. The first priest to offer Mass in the homes for these
early settlers was Fr. Bernard Strassmeier, who came across
the Missouri River from Ft. Yates, some 26 miles away.
In 1892 Fr. Jochim Widmer, a Benedictine, served
the area from St. John's Church in McIntosh County & Holy
Trinity at Grassna, southwest of Strasburg. The building of
these churches gave the
Strasburg people
the courage to also build in 1893. When Fr. Benedict Peter
was assigned to St. John's, he soon saw the need for a resident
priest in Strasburg. He lived with Peter Keller's family whose
farm was near the Church until a rectory was built at about
the turn of the century.
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad came into the
area from Herreid, SD in 1902, the town of Strasburg was formed
with the opening of the first store, the Strasburg Bazaar.
Soon homes were built nearby. This also prompted the move
of the Church and rectory to the new site, only with some
controversy. It was dramatized more when the rectory was hung
up on the railroad track during the move. Those who were opposed
to the moving refused to help get it off the tracks, fortunately
the train crew provided some assistance. With all the division
in the Parish, the Church was without a pastor for a time
until Fr. Alois
Strigle, OSB came in January of 1907. Plans were beginning
to formulate for the building of a new and larger Church.
Excavation began in the fall of 1909. The new $45,000 Church
was 128 feet long, 50 feet wide with a 70 foot transept. The
tower reached 85 feet but was still not as tall as some parishioners
would have liked. Abbot Vincent Wehrle who became the first
Bishop of Bismarck in 1910 blessed he corner stone. The first
mass was offered on Christmas during the Midnight Mass in
1911, Fr. Justus Schweitzer and Fr. Alois were the serving
priests and were eventually replaced by Fr. Max Speckmeier.
The Ursuline Sisters arrived here on Sept. 21, 1910 and opened
a school in the Church basement with 70 some students. Within
two years the enrollment was over 200 students. With efforts
from the Parish and the Sisters, the
old Church was remodeled into a convent and boarding quarters
for some of the students. In 1917, a new school was built
for about $50,000. Enrollment eventually went up to about
300 students with high school classes added. During the WPA
days a
gymnasium was added. For some years, the school was operated
as a public school, until the coming of the Anti-Garb Bill
in the 40's. The Ursulines left in 1942 and were replaced
by the Notre Dame Sisters. They taught in secular garb until
the arrival of both public and private school systems in the
50's. Eventually the neighboring parishes, some of whom had
closed their own schools, began to work together in the 60's
and 70's operating the Emmons Central High School until
1985. The decline of enrollment and increased costs of education
prompted its closing. The buildings including the new gym
were sold to the public school district. The parish of Sts.
Peter and Paul continued to operate its own grade school.
The St. Benedict's Grade School remained open until the Parish
Centennial year of 1989. In 1988, the parishioners began restoration
work on the Church with repairs to the roof and the stain
glass windows and the tuck pointing of all the brick work.
Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Strasburg, Emmons County,
North Dakota, on Highway 83 is a gothic and Romanesque style church
completed in 1911. It was blessed in June of the same year by Bishop
Vincent Wherle, of the Diocese of Bismarck, ND during a Pontifical
High Mass. It was consecrated on June 28, 1916 as the second consecrated
Church in the Diocese. The abbey Church at Richardton, ND was the
first and only other consecrated Church in the Diocese of Bismarck,
It was at the original Church 2-1/2 miles Northeast of Strasburg,
called Tiraspol that Lawrence Welk was baptized on March 16, 1903.
He later attended St. Benedict's School and was taught by the Ursuline
Sisters. The recently restored Welk farmstead and sod house is a
mile north and two miles west of the city of Strasburg. The restoration
is one of the Centennial projects in 1989 in observance of the State
Centennial. The Parish of Saints Peter and Paul has its Centennial
the same year as the State and provides this summary of its history.

Adoption is a second chance for children
.There are not many times in an individual's life where they get a second chance to have a family, but adoption does that. I've had friends tell me that they don't want to adopt children, because of the movie "The Orphan." I always respond, "Hey! We don't all turn out evil!" If you haven't seen the movie, it's about a child who is adopted and by the end of the movie, she kills her adoptive family, but Hollywood just likes to mess with people's heads.My friends were joking, but behind every joke is a shred of truth.
Maybe people are scared to adopt because they are opening their home to a child and whatever emotional baggage they may carry.But here's a little secret, we all have problems.
I was born in Charleston, and was adopted when I was an infant, but the adoption was not finalized until after I was a year old.
My adoptive parents, Amy and Jack Parrish, were a lovely couple from Easley, who couldn't have a child because of Amy's autoimmune disease.
I always knew I was adopted. I don't remember when I first knew. It was just something that I knew from a very young age.
I would talk about it at elementary school to my friends. Naturally, like most 8 year olds, they are curious and would ask me about my "real mom." I told them I lived with her now, and that confused them even more.
"No, your 'real mom.' The one you were born to," they would say.
"Oh, you mean my birth mom? Yea, I don't know who she is. It was a closed adoption," I would respond.
My real mom was the woman who tucked me in every night, read me bedtime stories, took care of me and listened to my worries, my stories and my jokes.
My birth mother was the woman who gave birth to me in Charleston. I just considered it normal that I was adopted. While my friends stared at me in disbelief, I would just shrug my shoulders.
It never bothered me that I didn't know my birth parents until I got to tenth grade biology class when we began to talk about our genetics and family genealogy. I had not one clue about my birth parents' genetics.
It bothered me not knowing whose traits I had, but after sophomore year, I moved on and paid no more attention to it.
I found my adoption papers shortly after my mom's death in 2010. I don't quite know why I went looking for them, but I did.
In that folder containing my adoption papers are the court summons for my parents' petition for adoption, unaddressed letters to the birthmother, pre-placement reports, 21 recommendation letters, their marriage license, photos of family, friends and their house and an envelope that contains my birth parents' information, that is not to be opened until I am 21, per wishes of my mother.
I frequently search through those as I come closer to the age of 21. I am nervous, but I am excited to find out about my birth mother and father. I don't want to meet them or talk to them; I just want to know who they are. It's as if that will complete my image of who I am.
Both my parents and grandparents told me how much joy I brought them and how much I made a difference in their life, but really, they made the difference in my life. Sometimes I imagine what life might be like had I not been adopted, and I can't do it. I can't picture life any different than how it is now.
I have truly been blessed with the best second chance a person can have. I was blessed with a loving adoptive family who has raised me as if I was one of their own.
I just have to say thank you to all adoptive parents. What you have done for others cannot be expressed in words. You have opened your hearts and homes to us who may have had none. So, all I can say is thank you for making a difference.

Revitalized Hawks win North Half Championship
Monday afternoon, Myrtle head coach Jonathan Ashley was on the phone, working on his schedule for next season. This time last year, he did the same thing, planning several tough opponents in a row to prepare his team for the playoffs.
The difficult scheduling paid off this year, as the Hawks had a remarkable turnaround from their fourth place Division Tournament finish to winning their fourth straight North Half Championship last Saturday in Okolona.
"Looking down the road after we returned from Christmas, we played at Baldwyn, at New Albany and Belmont at Hickory Flat, those three games in a week," he said. "We did that with the intent of playing three difficult games in three nights, and that would help us for North Half Tournament. We took three in the chin then, but I think that helped us get ready for what we endured for three nights at Okolona."
What the Hawks did was win three games by less than 10 points, including a last second shot by Russ Yates against H.W. Byers to send Myrtle on a return trip to Jackson.
In three games, the senior averaged 19 points, while Robert Montgomery, the team's leading scorer, averaged 23.7. The duo carried the load, leading Myrtle to now their fifth straight State Tournament appearance.
The Hawks also took down three of the four division champions in the north, starting with Biggersville last Tuesday to make it to the North Half Tournament.
What Myrtle has accomplished in the past week has left many amazed, and Ashley noted the biggest difference he saw in his team after they fell in the Division Consolation game on Feb. 19.
"The effort level increased drastically," he said. "We just made some shots. We didn't shoot it very well during the division tournament week, and we shot it real well at certain times, but we shot it well enough to find a way to win."
Ashley hopes the good fortune will continue, as they Hawks will next play Dexter in the 1A State Semifinal on Friday.
"We'll need a lot more luck," he laughed. "We've played well enough and have had enough luck, so we're going to see if we can get by Dexter."

How-To Geek
Update Portable Firefox the Easy Way
Have you been enjoying all the goodness of portable Firefox, but find updating it to the newest version a problem? Now you can update your portable browser as easily as your regular install of Firefox.
Note: This method is for use with the portable versions available from John T. Haller/portableapps.com.
First things first, you will need to download the regular .exe file from Mozilla. Once you have that, it is time to get started.
Double click the .exe file to get the install process started and click "Next".
Once the second window appears, you will need to select "Custom" and deselect "Use Firefox as my default browser". Click "Next".
The third window will show the default install location for Firefox. Here you will need to click "Browse" and locate the home folder for your portable browser.
Once you locate your portable browser's home folder, you will need to browse deeper into it to find the location to install to (here the home folder is named Portable Firefox and is located in Program Files). Look for and select the folder named "Firefox" located in the "App" folder. Click "OK".
Note: As you can see in the expanded folder view, your profile folder is located in the "Data" folder outside of your install location. This will keep your settings, extensions, themes, and other customisation intact while updating.
The final install path is "C:\Program Files\Portable Firefox\App\Firefox\". Click "Next".
The next window shows the options for shortcuts, deselect all three and click "Next".
The final window should only display the install location for your portable. Now you are are ready to install and have your portable Firefox updated to the newest version.
Once you have finished installing the update, make certain to deselect "Launch Firefox now". Click (or double-click) your favourite portable Firefox shortcut and have fun!
This method also allows you to change your portable Firefox to the language version of your choice or if you are feeling adventurous, to try the latest beta and alpha releases of Firefox without affecting your regular install of Firefox.
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition – PortableApps.com
Mozilla Firefox – All Available Language Versions (Newest Stable Version)
- Published 06/10/09
Comments (13)
Have been using Portable FF on a flash drive at work (originally from PortableApps.com) for several years..
Have never had any problem updating.. Same as my regular FF at home…. I have the preferences set to check for updates and it auto-updates itself just like the regular version… No footprint or trace of any kind on my work PC. Seems as if the method you show above is many more steps and work…
Also, (and I could be wrong here as its been so long since I done it), if you do a full install of FF (over an existing version) instead of just having it "update", it resets back to default.. I'm not sure about bookmarks, but I do remember having to re-install all of my extensions (and I have quite a few), re-customize my toolbar, etc.
While this is an efficient way to ensuring Firefox is up to date, surely the installer will leave registry traces while it's installing in another location?
Just a thought worth pointing out, I think.
It's easier as pointed by Joanna you simply go to help/update and it updates inside de correct folders. When a major update has been released you grab the new portable package just in case that there has been some changes in the launcher and that's all
No, no, no!!! – This is totally wrong. The best way to update Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is to download the updated installer from PortableApps.com. If you would like to risk it not being portable (as you are doing here), there is no reason to download Mozilla's installer–Firefox has a built-in updater.
Hey I am a developer on PortableApps.com
and i really cant say that this is the best way to update. As Benjamin said above the best way to do update PortableFirefox is to use the installer supplied by PortableApps.com. There are multiple reasons for this:
First the installer provided by Mozilla well reset all the registry entries to the what it is set to.
Second all applications released by PortableApps.com are based off a wrapper, this wrapper moves files around, sets registry entries, set profile paths. If a new version of Firefox has some changes the wrapper will not have that information built in and therefore it will not bring that new information back to the drive. Say for instance Firefox stored all the bookmarks in the registry and the previous version did not. If you follow this installation strategy the wrapper will not be able to back up the bookmarks as expected and the bookmarks may not work from computer to computer. The only way this would work is to download the version of Firefox PortableApps.com provides. This is just one example of what could happen.
Finally the last reason is that with each release of Firefox we update the installer, and more languages and create new directory structures and by doing this manual install there will be risk of messing those up.
So while this may work, it may only work for the power users, and those have a very good understanding of what happens with the registry and what happens to the computer as these PortableApps run. However for regular users I suggest that you use the download provided by PortableApps.com.
@Joanna – So far I have never had a single problem with any of my bookmarks, extensions, themes, or settings being altered. I keep ~10 different portables on my computer alongside my regular install for testing purposes and language/version/set-up variety. Which version did you have the problems with?
@Paul – Updating with this method or using auto update both leave registry traces.
I tried this with Filezilla as it kept nagging me about updates and it worked perfectly with no problems (except now some annoying message with the current version keep opening when you launch it). I tried it on multiple computers and my old settings were still there and there were no errors.
@newbieworks – So glad to hear that it worked so well for your Filezilla program. ^__^ Just out of curiosity, what does the message say?
I have had excellent luck with this method and have been using it since Firefox 1.5.x. ^__^ My portables have worked without any problems or loss of extensions, themes, bookmarks, or settings across multiple systems (XP, Vista, W7) and computers. ^__^
It has been extremely useful for trying out the newest betas and alphas…it is so hard to resist wanting to try all the latest Firefox goodness. ^__^
This worked perfect for me! Great article! Thanks!
It seems that this is using the logic that the wrapper is outside of the firefox program file, which I believe it is. I just used this method to install the 3.5b99 on a machine that I have no registry control over. The registry settings that would have to be written would be making it the default internet, if you really think about it.
Hey, that was a very nice tip. Down here in India we actually have to pay for every byte that we download. So having one exe file and using it to update all my Firefox installation (on the desktop, laptop, netbook) helps.

Orangeville parties with the elves
The Orangeville City Christmas party titled A Polar Express Christmas was held Dec. 10. The party began with Santa's helpers Haley Cloward, Brittany Payne, and Jessica Furner handing out cups of hot chocolate followed by Santa arriving, at the Orangeville City Park to the excitement of a large crowd, in his sleigh, on a trailer, pulled by a pickup truck as there was no snow. After greeting everyone and letting children sit in the sleigh or hold the reins of the deer, Santa moved into the Orangeville Community Center where many pictures were taken of children seated on Santa's lap.
In the Community Center there were exciting children's activities going on at locations around the room. Some of those activities were, Jingle Bell Bingo, Santa's Work Shop for making small gifts, The Sweet Shop for decorating sugar cookies, the Polar Bear Den for coloring, coloring book pictures of Christmas and Jan Hansen was seen telling wonderful Christmas stories in the Story Time Square.
The Santa Claus train, carried many happy children from the Orangeville City Park to the Cottonwood Elementary School. The train was driven by Dennis Lavinsky from Price. In addition to the train there was also a hayride. The hayride trailer was loaded with big square bales of hay for people to sit upon. The hayride carried many Orangeville residents from the park to the Cottonwood Elementary School for the chili/soup dinner.
This dinner was held at the Cottonwood Elementary School cafeteria which was gaily decorated for Christmas with large white paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and in one corner there was an imitation mountain with a train trying to climb up and around the mountain. The tables were all decorated for Christmas. Tables were set up in the cafeteria, the gymnasium and in a class room in anticipation of a large number of people at the chili/soup cook off sponsored by the Orangeville City Fire Department.
In the teachers lounge Cindy Nielson was seen giving out final instructions to the Chili/Soup Cook Off judges. Those judges were Jennifer Shorthill, Kirk McQuivey, Cindy Draper, Craig Jewkes and Nick Manning.
In preparation for the Tom Hanks movie "The Polar Express" to be shown in the gymnasium, crowds were seen arriving in the gymnasium with bags of blankets, pillows and pajamas. While this was happening many of Santa's helpers were making popcorn and bringing in large bottles of soda pop for the event. One of those helpers was Gayla Luke.
Two of the many attendees prepared for the movie with their pillows and blankets were Ashley Morris and Destiny Faucett. Prizes for the chili/soup cook off are as follows: second place soup went to Julie Huntington, first place soup went to Natalie Olsen, second place soup/chili went to Carole Larsen, first place soup/chili went to Jeanette Tharp. The prize for the hottest chili went to Kevin Reynolds and the second hottest chili was that of Barbara Lemons. In the chili/soup cook off contest the first place winners received $50, second place winners $25. In the hottest chili the first place winner won a fire extinguisher and the second place winner received a smoke detector.
