Article and photos by Janet Schultz
More than 100 concerned Lewiston-Porter School District residents showed up at the Board of Education meeting Tuesday night to show their support for the various programs and positions that are facing the chopping block in the 2013-14 budget.
The district is facing a 1.5 percent increase in the tax levy or maintaining the current levy with a number of cuts in programming and positions. Although the state will be providing $10.7 million in aid, it is $600,000 less than last year and the district is projecting $1.8 million less in revenue.
"There's no place to go (for money) anymore," said Superintendent Christopher Roser.
The BOE tabled the adoption of the $39,159,743 budget until the April 23 special board meeting.
Roser provided board members and residents with a historical look at what has transpired in the district over the past several years. State aid went down dramatically over the past three years and, during the past five years, there has been no increases in school taxes (with the exception of last year, when Lew-Port set the tax levy at the state threshold of 4 percent).
The first cuts in the budget involve not replacing the retirements of the assistant superintendent for finance, a human resource person, a maintenance person, a groundsperson, a clerical position, two teacher aides and a special education teacher. The total saved would be $403,000. Individuals already on staff will absorb the duties.
The next step is to move back to campus several positions that are currently served by BOCES at a cost to the district.
Other modifications include cuts in transportation by combining runs, saving $81,182, and cutting modified sports, saving $44,610.
Next would be the elimination of 10 teaching positions, saving $701,001. The cuts include teachers in English, mathematics, science, Spanish, business, art, technology, a librarian, two elementary and part-time instructors in music, social studies and physical education.
There would also be 19 cuts in teacher aides and five full-time building monitors with other monitors moving from full-time status to part-time.
In total, 41 positions would be either eliminated or reduced.
The board also found $280,895 in savings by reducing utilities and security, eliminating the International Exchange Program, teacher conferences, field trips, reducing working hours in the summer and making cuts in supplies.
Roser went on to explain that with a 1.7 percent increase in the tax levy, providing $476,000 in additional funds, the district could restore some programs, including full-day universal pre-kindergarten, the after-school assistance program, field trips and modified sports. They could also bring back three teaching positions and six aide positions.
The tax levy would be at 5.70 percent, and must pass by a yes vote of 60 percent of the voting public.
Roser also explained that if the budget were to be defeated, it would be brought back for a second vote. If defeated a second time, Lew-Port must return to the 2012-13 tax levy that would force the district to cut an additional $894,000 on top of the current cuts, which Roser explained they can't afford to do.
A public budget hearing will be held on May 14 and the annual meeting, budget vote and election will be held May 21.
Numerous public speakers, including voters, students, alumni and faculty, made their feelings known asking that the board not eliminate positions in music, art and sports. Prior to the community comments, board member Michael Gentile explained to the public that Roser doesn't make the decisions himself.
"We give him direction, we give him amounts, we interact publicly and individually," said Gentile, asking speakers to not direct comments at Roser personally. "We have the ultimate review of exactly what's in the budget."
"With your leadership and guidance the school district can maintain our current status as one of the elite districts in WNY through these difficult times," said Kevin Jaruszewski, Lewiston-Porter United Teachers president. "We ask you to consider giving the voters an option to help solve this crisis.
"We need to continue giving students every opportunity to be career and college ready," he concluded.
"I don't envy any of you. Cuts that hurt must be made," said Beth Etopio. "But to cut music is devastating. Music has been whittled down slowly even though there has been a growth in the program."
Science teacher Michelle Hinchliffe asked the board to maintain the science department, explaining that mathematics and science teachers are needed and national programs, such as Race to The Top, encourage growth in those areas, and yet Lew-Port is proposing cuts in that area.
"This is money that is leaving our community," said Betty VanDenBosch, referring to cuts in personnel. "This is less money that people have to spend in the community. This is a big blow to the community, not just the school."
"I was so excited about the capital project and the new aquatic center," said Tom Swift. "We are moving in the right direction. I'm willing to pay more to keep these teachers' jobs."
"I don't think the cuts should come from a small and important department," said Aaron Lily, a senior at Lew-Port, talking about cuts in the business department. "These programs (referring to computers, advertising, resume writing, etc.) not only organize your business but your life. They are important, for the kids to move on into the real world."
The other item on May's ballot will be a capital construction project that focuses on renovating the high school.
Board member Michael Gentile explained that funds for the $26 million capital project come from the state and cannot be used for anything other than construction. No funding on this project would come from the district.
"The money is there for districts to use, and we are in desperate need of upgrading the high school," explained Gentile.
He went on to reiterate that Roser did not make these budget decisions himself.
"The board gives him direction, and the board has the ultimate review," said Gentile.
In other business, the board was advised of changes made to the contracts being submitted to the Town of Lewiston regarding the selling of land to the town for construction of the proposed recreation and senior center (Lewiston Civic Center) on that land, which would be situated in front of the high school. The board will now submit those changes to the town and await their response.
The board also approved a revision to the 2013-14 school calendar that will introduce a trimester to the Primary and Intermediate Education schools.
"This gives the children more time to meet the standards and provides flexibility in pacing the common core," said Intermediate School Principal Andrew Auer.
Primary School Principal Tamara Larson went on to explain that it will also give parents a more detailed and meaningful report card because the trimester provides more time for instruction and assessment.
There will now be three report card periods with grades closing on Dec. 6 and March 21. There would be no April report card and the final report period will remain the same. Parent conferences for elementary students would be scheduled in December and late March.
The board accepted a donation from board member Ken Fox of a children's book, "Johnnie's Adventures," written and autographed by Suzanne Simon Dietz. Dietz is a graduate of Lewiston-Porter and resident and historian for the Town of Porter.
The board recognized students Emily Lauzonis, Nicole Tyler and Ella Massaro for their contributions to the Swim-A-Cross. They were the top fundraisers in the event, which raised more than $3,100 for the American Red Cross.
Roser also recognized the district's school nurses in honor of National School Nurses' Day on May 8. Lew-Port's nursing staff includes Gloria Klettke, Suzanne Lombardi, Jacqueline O'Hara, Maureen Schug, Kim Winter and Mary Mihalich.
A special board meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 23 (time to be announced). The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be May 28.

Mississippi has seen a tremendous increase in corn production over the past several years. One component that goes with that increased acreage and harvest is commercial and on-farm storage.
A short drive in many Delta counties will reveal new storage, ranging from small, single, on-farm bins to multiple large commercial or co-op facilities.
Potential hazards with storage facilities should be recognized, and control measures should taken. Many new and younger farmers could be unaware of some of the hazards.
Virtually all of the hazards can be greatly reduced by simple engineering controls — such as mechanical guards and shields, personal protective equipment and best management practices — and some common sense.
Where portable augers are used, there are mechanical entanglement concerns and the possibility of electrocution should the auger strike an overhead power line. When planning a bin storage work area, consider underground electrical service.
Another hazard can be exposure to grain dust. Organic dust can affect many individuals and long-term exposure to high levels is well-documented to reduce pulmonary function. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment can prevent or greatly minimize exposure, particularly in an enclosed area such as a bin or silo.
Appropriate protection depends on levels encountered, time spent, an enclosed space and the nature of the work to be preformed. The recommended protection can range from a simple N95 mask to a half-face HEPA respirator to full-face self-contained or supplied air units.
There are many protective masks and respirators on the market. It is best to ask a reputable dealer to assist you in the selection of an appropriate one for a given set of circumstances.
Grain and other organic dusts can also be fire and explosive hazards, so there should not be any open flame or smoking around a bin.
Hazards associated with augers can be on both ends of the storage process. Augers and handling equipment to load the bins can be dangerous. Most new bins will have internal augers and sweeps used for transferring the product to another bin or to a truck for transport to market.
No one should be allowed inside a bin without a "lockout" installed on all electrical and mechanical systems. When someone needs to enter a bin, that person should wear a safety harness and have at least two persons outside to secure a safety line in the event of problems.
In the event a system activates, a person can very quickly sink in grain, which acts like quicksand, and suffocate within minutes. If a person sinks to the bottom of the bin he could become entangled in moving equipment. Any person entering a bin should always wear appropriate respiratory protection.
Grain storage bins are often equipped with ladders to allow access to upper levels and to the roof. These range from a simple sidewall ladder, with or without a safety cage, to a full-size stairway curving around the bin. While technically adequate to reach and provide access to the upper level of bins, the ladders and steps can be quite steep. Persons using them should be careful to avoid falls and to always use safety harnesses when working at elevation or on a roof.
As with most situations in farming, children should not be allowed to play in the areas near grain bins.
For additional information and safety tips, contact the manufacture, dealer, installing contractor or a county Extension Agent.

Zeus Worshippers Demand Access to Temple
I believe in religious freedom and I have no problem with people who want to honor ancient gods.
However, the following raises some concern for me:
"These are our temples and they should be used by followers of our religion," said Doreta Peppa, head of the Athens-based Ellinais, a group campaigning to revive the ancient religion. "Of course we will go ahead with the event ... we will enter the site legally," said Peppa, who calls herself a high priestess of the revived faith. "We will issue a call for peace, who can be opposed to that?"
The Greek government response is no. "Ancient sites are not available for this kind of event," ministry official Eliza Kyrtsoglou said.
This makes sense to me. People have the right to worship as they please as long as it does not involve human sacrifice, child abuse, etc. However, they do not have the right to gain access to any historical site they choose. Just because someone adopts Zeus worship today does not mean they have any special ownership of ancient temples built thousands of years ago.
Using this logic, I could adopt Mayan religion and then demand access to and perhaps ownership of Chichen Itza. Perhaps I could adopt Native American religion and insist on being allowed to practice my religion on the Great Snake Mound?
Not buying the above argument? I don't blame you. Adopting an ancient religion does not give one any right to ancient sites. I wish the Zeus worshippers happiness and religious freedom but I hope they never are allowed to do as they please with Greek historical treasures simply because they are associated with Zeus.

I completely agree with you. If they want to worship Zeus, fine, but let them raise the money and build their own temple in which to worship.
I posted about this on my own blog, too, http://ancienthistory.suite101.com/blogs.cfm#pagans_revive_ancient_tradtions

Given the fact that SOMEONE allowed Zeus' temple to be destroyed, I doubt he's going to be inclined toward hearing mortals NOW. This reminds me of the fight over Jerusalem -- it's a city like any other, but who controls what parts of it will probably lead to a major war.
I think that these Greek neo-pagans have a point. Ancient pre-Christian religious sites are admired and gawked at today by scholars and tourists, but originally they were centers of spiritual devotion and practice, as well as centers of social power and status. While modern pagans could worship anywhere, the physical or geographical location of ancient sacred sites was important - the Temple of Zeus wasn't built where it was because the site was close to schools and shopping malls, but because it was auspicious, known to be pleasing to the God.
These ancient sites connect neo-pagans in a special way to the Gods whom they honor, to the traditions which they seek to recreate to the best of their ability, and to their ancestors, literal or spiritual. If tourists can tramp through these places, then why not allow others to worship in them?
Neo-pagans of all people would be more apt to respect the integrity of these ancient sites than some others would, and would, by worshiping in them, make them what they were intended to be and were for centuries.
The Temple of Zeus - all such places - were expressions of the human spirit and heart and mind.
To respect and preserve the stones of an ancient temple for reason of art history or science is good, but the impetus which inspired these places to be created in the first place was largely spiritual, and this connection is as valid now as it was then.
I have witnessed joint Anglican-Catholic services in the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. Buddhists still worship in or near ruined structures in Asia. Some Native Americans, raised as Christians, have reclaimed the spiritual practices of their pre-Christian ancestors and honor them at traditional sacred sites, now "protected" and on Federal land. In can be done - and with respect for all concerned.

He stated that more needed to be done to communicate to the students the need to become more independent from the Legislature and to make them aware of the value this institution had put into place.
Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval of the schedule of tuition and fees regulation. A MOTION was made and seconded. The MOTION was approved as presented.
Chair Taylor stated that a presentation on the budget was made to trustees in May and the budget was now being discussed by this committee. He asked Vice President Shuman to speak about this item.
Vice President Shuman spoke about the budget, listing the base distribution at $127 million, which includes tuition and tuition differential increases accounting for $5 million, new PO&M funding accounting for $1.2 million and a $1 million increase in the lottery allocation.
Vice President Shuman discussed the $5.6 million cut from the previous year's base distribution, which included the elimination of the federal stimulus dollars. And, there was a $6.7 million reduction in the general revenue allocation. She spoke about the need for greater reliance on nonrecurring resources.
Trustee Brockelman stated that it was important for students to see some return on the increase in tuition and fees.
Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval of the UNF budget. The MOTION was offered and seconded. The MOTION was approved as presented.
hair Taylor adjourned the meeting.

Into the Grammar Forest
Grammar can sometimes be a bit dry to teach, but it's such an interesting subject that it should be fun! I'm devising a grammar lecture involving an atmospheric story, introduced by a video. Who do you think the main character in the story should be? I have various ideas, but am interested to know how inter-cultural they are. Does everyone know the character of Little Red Riding Hood, for example? Or is a silent movie heroine more appealing? Or an Agatha Christie-style lady detective? (Yes, they're all female characters - I'm going to play the role!) I've put a poll up on the right, so do take the time to vote, or add a comment below. And of course, we'll put the finished story up on the blog too!

Can you start a sentence with'because'?It is done above. My high school English teacher taught me that you cannot start a sentence with the word 'because' because 'because' is a conjunction

My first reaction is that starting a sentence with 'because' would not be correct.
Because it is cloudy and wet in Adelaide today, I have decided to wear a warm jacket and scarfe.
What do others think? Not quite right? It sounds a bit weak or passive in its tone.

- Julia Miller said...
I think it's fine grammatically to start a sentence with 'because' if there are two parts to the sentence, as in Andrea's example. If you don't do this, you have a sentence fragment. e.g. 'Because it's raining'. That is fine in speech, but not in academic writing. I did use some fragments in this post (starting sentences with the conjunctions 'and' and 'or'), but that is because the style is chatty and not academic. Style varies a lot, doesn't it?

- Linda Bergmann said...
I've always heard that "Never start a sentence with 'because'" is a piece of folklore, invented by teachers in order to help students avoid fragments like the one Julia describes. Actually, I think "because" used to be called a subordinating conjunction--which is different than a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for), but I generally use "subordinator" because it seems clearer to students. Whether to start a sentence with a subordinate clause of any kind should, imo, be seen as a matter of putting old information before new (not my idea--I learned it from Joe Williams at the U. of Chicago, where I went to grad school and from his books on style.

The HP Z1 Workstation may look like your average Windows all-in-one computer, but it's not. As I show you in this week's Cracking Open episode, the Z1 is packed with high-end hardware, has a near tool-less chassis, and was designed to be both cool and quiet.
All-in-ones, like the Apple iMac, offer a desktop computer and display in a single package. They're a good way to free up a little desk space and eliminate some of the cables running under your feet. But, their cases don't offer much room to expand and they generally have less processing power than a traditional tower. HP's Z1 Workstation is the exception.
Cracking Open observations
- Packed with high-end hardware: You can customize your Z1 with a variety of hardware, and prices start at $1,899 (US). Our $7,000+ test machine had 3.5GHz Intel Xeon processor, 16GB of DDR3-1600 ECC RAM, an NVIDIA Quadro 4000M graphics card, two 300GB SSDs, and a 27-inch IPS LCD (2,560 x 1,440).
- Easy-to-service: The Z1's stand allows the machine to lie flat, and the case opens more like the hood of a car than a computer. Many internal components (such as the video card, power supply, and optical drive) can be removed without tools. When a screwdriver is required to remove a part, such as the motherboard or LCD, a standard Torx T6 or T15 bit is all you need. No tamper-resistant screws here.
- Designed it to be cool and quiet: The Z1 has four distinct cooling zones. The machine's six fans pull fresh air into each zone and push the heated air out, without the air moving between the zones. To reduce fan noise, HP used large diameter fans, which can be turned more slowly than smaller fans. They also gave the Z1 nine independent thermal sensors, which control the fans' speed—only turning them as fast as is needed.
My only complaints about the Z1 are minor. First, it's heavy. At over 47 pounds, it is 17 pounds heavier than the 27-inch iMac. Second, the included HP wireless keyboard and mouse use a USB adapter. There's a special port inside the case for it, but I don't know why HP doesn't include a standard Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
As workstations go, the Z1 is an entry level machine. But, it's the only workstation that's also a 27-inch all-in-one.
Internal hardware
Our HP Z1 Workstation test unit has the following hardware:
- 3.5GHz Intel Xeon E3-1280 processor
- Intel BD82C206 platform controller hub (PCH)
- NVIDIA Quadro 4000M graphics card
- 16GB Hynix DDR3-1600 ECC RAM
- 300GB Intel SSD 320 Series SSD
- Sony Optiarc BD/DVD/CD rewritable optical drive (Model: BD-5841H)
- 27-inch LG Display IPS LCD (Model: LM270WQ1)
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless adapter
- Nuvoton Technology NPCD379HAKFX
- 400W Delta Electronics power supply (Model: DPS-400AB-15A)

New Haven, Conn.—Yale University today accepted the resignation of head football coach Tom Williams. Williams' resignation is effective December 31, said Director of Athletics Tom Beckett.
"I wish to clear the record," Williams said in offering his resignation. "On the Rhodes Scholarship issue, I was encouraged to apply by the Stanford Fellowship office, which identified me 'as the kind of student who demonstrates the intellect, energy and commitment that the Rhodes selection committees seek in their applicants.' I considered the opportunity, sought advice and was encouraged to apply by faculty members and my coach Bill Walsh, but I did not apply."
"During the spring of my senior year, I was given an opportunity to attend a try-out camp with the San Francisco 49ers, and I participated in that three-day event. I did not sign a free agent contract with the 49ers or participate in their summer training camp for signed players."
"I am extremely proud of my academic, athletic and coaching career. If there was confusion created, I take full responsibility. The timing of this inquiry has been difficult for everyone. At this point I believe it is in the best interest of my student-athletes and Yale University that I step down."
In accepting Williams' resignation, Beckett said, "Coach Williams has been a dedicated teacher and coach at Yale, and his students have benefited greatly from his leadership and passion for the game of football."
Beckett said the University would immediately begin a search for Williams' successor.

Appendix A: District Profiles
Duval County Public Schools
|Districtwide Enrollment
|Magnet Enrollment
|19,927 (16%)
|Total Number of Schools
|Number of Magnet Schools
|District Size (in Square Miles)
|Population Type
|Large Central City
Duval County Public Schools, serving Jacksonville, Florida, has been home to two magnet high schools since the 1980s. But like many other districts engaged in magnet programming, Duval's magnet initiatives increased dramatically as a result of a court-ordered desegregation plan. The plan outlining the use of magnet schools took effect in the 1991-92 school year as an alternative to a forced busing plan implemented in 1969. Although in 1999 the district achieved unitary status, ending the court mandate for its magnet program, Duval has continued to grow its magnet program in order to continue its efforts to decrease racial isolation in schools as well as to provide a system of choice.
Duval's magnet schools fall into two categories: dedicated and school-within-a-school. Virtually all of Duval's school-within-a-school magnets serve students schoolwide, irrespective of their status as magnet or neighborhood students. The district sees this as the best way to eliminate one of the potential problems associated with the school-within-a-school model: that it can create a distinction between the magnet students and neighborhood students as the "haves" and the "have-nots," respectively.
Primary responsibility for the magnet schools falls under the Office of School Choice and Pupil Assignment. The district magnet office, housed within School Choice, employs a general director, a magnet coordinator, and a magnet marketing and recruiting specialist. One of the main tasks of the magnet coordinator is working closely with each magnet school to ensure that all of the schools' needs are being met. The magnet coordinator also oversees the student application process.
Duval's magnet program is intended to create an environment in which students can excel by choosing what best meets their needs. Therefore, the magnet program in this district is diverse and academically focused. Some of its schools offer students a combination of vocational and college preparatory courses. One example is the Frank H. Petersen Academy of Technology, from which students graduate with both a diploma and a license in a particular vocational area. The local Chamber of Commerce has been a strong advocate for career academies such as Petersen. The Chamber has identified work fields that have a high need for graduates with certain skills and talents, and the district has responded by implementing complementary magnet themes. Another success story is the Andrew Jackson Medical Professions and Criminal Justice High School. Its enrollment, which is approximately 85 percent African American, represents one of the lowest average family incomes in the district. Because its high-quality vocational programs enable graduates to proceed directly into the work force, the school has been very popular. The district also fosters a culture of quality academic standards by offering students the opportunity to take college-level classes in some of the magnet high schools.
Admission into most Duval magnet schools is handled by lottery. The exceptions are the International Baccalaureate schools, which base admission on merit, and the schools of the arts, which require an audition. However, the lottery system assigns some degree of priority to certain categories of student: those residing in the magnet school's surrounding neighborhood, those with a sibling attending the school to which they apply, and those who have attended a feeder school for the magnet. Also, students who attend a Title I school receive a priority in the magnet lottery when they apply to a magnet program in a school that is not a Title I school. Similarly, students who attend a school that is not Title I receive a priority in the magnet lottery when they apply to a magnet program in a school that is Title I.
Funding has been a critical factor in the evolution of Duval County's ambitious magnet program. A federal Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) grant funded its start-up years, beginning in 1991-92. Then, in 1995 a second MSAP grant allowed it to revamp 21 existing schools. Improving the appearance and infrastructure of schools in lower income neighborhoods has been important in creating a magnetizing effect. The district has sustained its magnet schools without the aid of any federal funds, dedicating $2 million per year to the program, money required to offset the higher costs of running some magnet themes. For example, a performing arts school requires more instruments than a neighborhood school that simply offers a music elective.
Achievement scores in the district have risen as well; by 2002-03, 54 percent of Duval schools had achieved a grade of B or better from the Florida State Department of Education.
Demand for admission to Duval's magnet schools is high; for the 2002-03 school year, 7,699 students were put on the waiting list. District representatives have identified several key factors that contribute to the success of their magnet program:
Open lines of communication between administration, staff, and parents. As examples, the district points to the use of lead magnet school teachers, the advisory council, and its parent-focused telephone hotline and Web site.
Initial research on the themes. Early research conducted with parents to determine attractive magnet themes resulted in well-chosen themes, and it also laid a foundation for the district's marketing program, which is also a key success factor.
"Scream Your Theme." This is the mantra of the magnet office, indicating that each magnet school is responsible for making the whole campus and community aware of its magnet content.
Strong Leaders. Strong principals and teachers, who have committed to the magnet theme and are willing to face all of the accompanying challenges, are vital to the program's longevity.

Difference between revisions of "Trapani"
Revision as of 16:22, 12 March 2011
Trapani [11] is a medium-sized city near the North-West corner of Sicily, Italy.
Get in
By train
Frequent trains run from Palermo, with a few stopping at Segesta. Local trains also run to Marsala, Mazara del Vallo and Castelvetrano (for the ruins of Selinunte).
By bus
Frequent buses run from Palermo. Less frequently they go to Marsala, Mazara del Vallo, Castelvetrano (for the ruins of Selinunte), Sciacca, Agrigento and Segesta.
By Boat
Trapani is the port for frequent boats and hydrofoils to Egadi Islands. Nightly boats (and hydrofoils in summer) also run to Pantelleria, with weekly (or so) ones to Tunis. See SIREMAR [12] and Ustica Lines [13]
By plane
Trapani has a small airport (TPS)[14]. The airport is served by Ryanair, Meridiana and Air One. Meridiana fly to the island of Pantelleria, Air One (Lufthansa) to Rome. Ryanair operate low cost routes direct to Trapani from Malta, Italy, France, Brussels, Holland, Germany, Austria, Poland, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Slovakia and Sweden. Four Ryanair B737-800s are based in Trapani, meaning delays are shorter than average due to aircraft being based on site.
As of May 2010 the following routes were served by Ryanair. Trapani [TPS] to/from: Bari [BRI] - Bologna [BLQ] - Brindisi [BDS] - Cagliari [CAG] - Genova [GOA] - Milan (Bergamo) [BGY] - Pisa [PSA] - Rome (Ciampino) [CIA] - Turin [TRN] - Trieste [TRS] - Venice (Treviso) [TSF] - Paris (Beauvais) [BVA] - Brussels (Charleroi) [CRL] - Eindhoven [EIN] - Maastricht [MST] - Luqa [MLA] - Bremen (Summer) [BRE] - Düsseldorf (Weeze) [NRN] - Frankfurt-Hahn [HHN] - Karlsruhe-Baden [FKB] - Memmingen (Munich West) [FMM] - Bratislava (Vienna) [BTS] - Krakow [KRK] London Stansted [STN] - London Luton [LTN] - Liverpool [LPL] - Dublin [DUB] - Girona (Barcelona) [GRO] - Ibiza [IBZ] - Madrid [MAD] - Valencia [VLC] - Billund [BLL] - Sandefjord (Oslo/Torp) [TRF] - Gothenburg City [GSE] - Stockholm [NYO]
TPS airport is about 15km from the center of Trapani. There's a local bus ('AST') that costs about EUR2, leaves every 45 minutes and takes about 40 minutes [15].
Get around
Trapani is small enough to walk around. Buses pass the ferry port and the adjacent bus station and railway station are on the edge of the city centre.
The city is renowned for its Easter procession, I Misteri, when the town's guilds parade a groups of sculpted 17th century and 18th century religious statues through the streets in a procession lasting for 16 hours on Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

Conservation-tillage, says University of Georgia small grains specialist Dewey Lee, could almost count as a religion — sometimes you have to take it on faith.
About 30 to 35 percent of Georgia's corn growers now practice some form of conservation-tillage, and they're "taking it on faith," based on research and experience, says Lee.
"The amount of cover we're able to produce prior to corn varies from year to year depending on the type of cover we use or what we're planting behind corn," says Lee. "And the type of cover varies from year to year, whether it's all residue, wheat or rye."
Positive experiences by growers with conservation-tillage corn also vary from crop to crop, he says. "Some of the benefits are relatively small in the long-term. And as a grower, you often have to react in the short-term because of cash and returns on your inputs. So we don't necessarily see the long-term benefits of conservation-tillage," says Lee.
Most farmers, he adds, want to know if the benefits are going to put cash in their pockets, and if they can be good stewards of the land for the next generation.
Some studies and research can be confusing as to the specific benefits of conservation-tillage, says Lee. "As for true cost savings, we can show you there are some cost benefits to conservation-tillage. But what about better yields? Maybe or maybe not. But there are more efficient yields with conservation-tillage," he says.
In Georgia, the basic rotation consists of cotton peanuts, corn and cattle, says Lee. "These enterprises all interact together to sometimes increase or decrease the degree of benefits you'll receive from conservation-tillage," he says.
The kind of cover crop can affect a conservation-tillage corn crop, he says, whether it is black oats, rye, wheat or old residue. Research has shown poorer yields in corn behind wheat than with other crops such as cotton.
"A lot of growers use wheat because the seed is cheaper. It's important to address exactly what cover we're going to use. My preference as a cover for corn would be rye because of the amount of residue we can get," says Lee.
Research also has looked at the effects of reduced-tillage in corn production, he says. "When we look at straight no-till, there's a significant difference in response to tillage, and we expect that in corn. When we look at strip-tillage or slit-tillage, there's a slight advantage to conservation-tillage. But what is the cost advantage? Part of it is reduced inputs.
"Whenever you as a grower are talking to someone in research or Extension, and they use the word 'no-till,' make sure you understand exactly what they mean. There are differences because they might be talking about slit-till with no-surface-tillage. In a true no-till, no in-row subsoiling is taking place," he says.
Turning to the effect of row-width, Lee says most producers in Georgia will be planting corn either in twin rows or 36-inch rows. "There's really no difference in the twin-row and 36-inch row patterns. It's your ability to manage and get good seed-to-soil contact — that's the biggest difference. But when you look at a 30-inch row, which is slightly narrower, then you start to move up that yield curve. You're casting more light, and you get an earlier benefit from your fertilizer application because your plant distribution is different than in a 36-inch row pattern."
There's also a significant change in 20-inch row corn, although the plant population — 30,000 per acre under irrigation — remains the same, he says. "The difference we see in the yield line is the ability of the grower to obtain a stand in a conservation-tillage and residue system. The seed needs to hit the ground and the soil surface — it doesn't need to sit on top of that residue. When you look at conservation-tillage, most of the problem in corn production is associated with plant establishment and plant stand and the ability to make sure the seed emerges at the same time."
Managing corn in a conservation-tillage environment is different from managing in a conventional environment, says Lee.
"Most of the value in conservation-tillage corn appears to be in production efficiency and not in additional yield. But what does it take to extract that production efficiency? Certainly there's a savings in fuel and water. But maximizing the benefit of a cover crop means planting that cover in September or October rather than in November or December. This will allow you to obtain a greater degree of residue which will improve your water infiltration."
Lee makes the following recommendations for making a conservation-tillage system work in corn:
• Plant rye as a cover crop. It provides the greatest amount of residue in the quickest time, and it has the deepest root profile, which extracts more nutrients earlier in the season.
• Consider disease-resistant cultivars, as there tends to be a greater disease presence in conservation-tillage corn.
• Manage residue to obtain good seed-to-soil contact and a uniform plant stand.
• Achieve a good plant population. This is especially important in irrigated corn, but also important in dryland production.
• Move the residue to the side with your equipment. Don't push residue into the seed slot. This will harm your ability to get a good stand and ultimately hurt your yields.
• Disrupt your hardpan. Research has shown a significant yield loss in corn in a straight no-till environment in sandy loam soils such as those found in south Georgia. Disrupt the hardpan with good in-row subsoiling.
• Manage all of your inputs to obtain yield goals. Good, strong management practices are the same in conservation-tillage as in conventional-tillage.

SOFTBALL: Riders fall to Celina, New Bremen wins
Celina's five-run second inning broke things open in the Bulldogs' 12-2 five-inning win over St. Marys.
Celina scored a run in the first and then five runs in the second.
The rout was on after Celina scored four more in the third. Leah Rose's three-run home run that got just over the glove of the left fielder with two outs and two on pushed Celina's lead to 10-0.
Back-to-back RBI doubles in the top of the fourth made it 12-0.
After the Riders went down in order in the second and third innings, they cracked the scoreboard in the fourth. Katlyn Brown singled with one out and advanced to second on a groundout.
Lexi Roop followed with an RBI single to bring home Brown.
St. Marys scored again in the bottom of the fifth. Colleen Magee grounded a one-out single through the box. She moved to second on a fielder's choice. Two batters later Kiley Schamp singled in a run to make it 12-2.
St. Marys fell to 4-9, 2-4 in the WBL and goes to Crestview today at 11 a.m. for a twin bill.
NEW BREMEN — The New Bremen softball team hit five home runs in a 13-8 win over the Indians in Midwest Athletic Conference play on Friday.
Gina Griesdorn, Meagan Brandt, Haley Moeller, Julie Brown and Chelsea Russell homered as the Cardinals rallied from a 5-4 deficit with runs in the bottom of the fifth.
Griesdorn was 3-for-4 with three RBI. Brand went 3-for-4 with two RBI. Russell was 2-for-4 with two RBI.
New Bremen improved to 8-10 on the season, 1-3 in the MAC.
Fort Recovery fell to 3-10.
Kristin Sprague pitched for New Bremen, giving up six earned runs on 14 hits. She struck out five and walked two.

With honesty, humor, and creativity, they face serious issues including the lack of access to fresh food; health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and food allergies; and the national school lunch program. They celebrate time together by cooking and gathering at the table. The stories, recipes, and terrific activities in this book will inspire readers of all ages to be conscious of what they're eating and where it comes from, and to make positive changes in their homes, schools, and communities.
The What's On Your Plate? project about kids and food politics started out as a documentary film from the point of view of two curious 11-year-old girls, Sadie and Safiyah. The film was broadcast on Discovery Channel s Planet Green and has been screened hundreds of times around the world, from Washington to Wisconsin, Glasgow to Seoul. Along the way, the girls spoke with friends, teachers, farmers, food activists, politicians, and each other; their journey inspired this book.
As Sadie and Safiyah say, "We're talking about our neighborhood. What about yours?"
Ten companies produce the majority of supermarket food. Do you know as much as two eleven year olds in NYC about where your food comes from?
One Response to "What's On Your Plate?"
Charming indeed! My culinary hero remains Julia Child. I've always enjoyed watching her food preparation and inspiring quotes. She unfortunately passed away in 2004, at the age of 92, no doubt, from an inflamed foie gras. I think many people ignored some of her most important advice:
"Everything in moderation… including moderation."
― Julia Child
"…small helpings, no seconds, no snacking, and a little bit of everything. – Julia Child"
― Julia Child
"Was it a sign of Creeping Decrepitude?"
― Julia Child, My Life in France

Spring is in full bloom! The warmer weather has us all ditching the scarfs and boots and throwing on our luxury swimwear. Floral prints are the perfect way to celebrate the change of the seasons and it's our go to print to wear when lounging pool side. We picked out the perfect floral bathing suits to add to your spring look!
Katy Perry is really into floral prints. This girly girl is constantly spotted rocking this trend, from her dresses, shirts, and pants. Katy would look great adding some floral prints into her designer swimwear. We think the perfect bikini for her fun and bold style is the Sweet Cheeks bathing suit. This suit has fun bright spring colors of green, pink, blue and white. The bandeau top is decorated with a cute pink ribbon at the center. With ruffles at the top give a flirty touch to the suit. After Katy is done playing in the water, she can throw on a Sweet Cheeks high-low skirt that will match perfectly with her bathing suit.
Audrina Patridge is another girl known for wearing floral print in her day to day style. She would look great adding some floral in her designer beachwear by wearing the Ride Like the Wind bikini. This white and blue floral bikini is complimented with a solid blue on part of the v-cut bottoms. A fixed bow at both the center bust and side hip give an extra feminine edge to the bikini. She can continue rocking this trendy floral print by wearing the Wildest Dream Maxi Dress after she's done lounging around the pool.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is offering $400,000 for a qualified institution to create a statewide Clean Tech Execs program to help drive interested entrepreneurs, investors and other business leaders to new opportunities in the cleantech sector.
The Clean Tech Execs program will be designed for successful business executives and other leaders who are skilled at running a company but may have limited knowledge about the cleantech world. NYSERDA says the program will expose participants to opportunities in the clean energy technology market, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, cleaner transportation and energy infrastructure, such as energy storage and the smart grid.
Through a competitive process, NYSERDA will provide the funding to a business education or economic development organization to develop the program. Proposals are due June 19. Applicants can learn more here.
"Governor [Andrew] Cuomo has initiated innovative programs to spur the cleantech economy in New York State, from Innovation Hot Spots to the NY-Sun initiative," says Francis J.

Second-year right back Kevin Alston caps a memorable 2010 season by being recognized as the Revolution's Defender of the Year
The following story was published in the Revolution's "Match Day" program for the Oct. 16 home finale against the Kansas City Wizards
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With his first-ever U.S. National Team call-up and an MLS All-Star nod under his belt this season – not to mention his first career goal – right back Kevin Alston has already had a memorable second year as a professional soccer player.
Now he can add Revolution Defender of the Year to his list of accomplishments in 2010.
Alston was voted the Revolution's top defender by the local media, who recognized the Indiana University product for his excellence less than two years after he was drafted by the Revs with the 10th overall pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.
Alston's unforgettable year began in January with his first call-in to camp with the full U.S. Men's National Team, although he suffered a hamstring injury during camp and was unable to fully participate. He earned another call-in ahead of the United States' friendly against El Salvador in February, but Alston's hamstring once again derailed his national team ambitions.
Undeterred, the speedy defender began his second MLS season where he left off in 2009, when he was a strong rookie of the year candidate. Following an impressive first half of the campaign, Alston was named an MLS All-Star for the first time in his career and ultimately started against English powerhouse Manchester United in late July.
"I think the national team call-up and invitation to the All-Star game speaks [volumes] about Kevin and his progression this year," said fellow second-year defender Darrius Barnes. "Last year, he was a great defender for us and he came up huge. Just to have a year under your belt, coming into your second year you just kind of have that confidence and familiarity with everybody. It just gives you that [freedom] to go out there and just play your game and not have to worry about anything."
Alston played with confidence throughout 2010 and for the second straight year he was the Revolution's first choice at right back, starting each game for which he was available on the right side of defense. Although he struggled with a recurring hamstring strain, Alston managed 22 appearances in the regular season and made an additional four starts in SuperLiga. It was against Mexico's Monarcas Morelia in the SuperLiga final on Sept. 1 when Alston scored his first career goal, driving a low shot into the far-side netting from the right side of the box.
At just 22 years old, Alston becomes the third-youngest player to be named the Revolution's Defender of the Year. Both Rusty Pierce (2000) and Michael Parkhurst (2005) won the award as 21-year-old rookies.
What's truly remarkable about the youthful Alston is despite his impressive list of accomplishments, there's still much potential for progression as the American defender continues to come into his own.
As far as Revolution fans are concerned, they'll be more than happy to watch that progression take place right here in Foxborough.
