Hairy Daddy:We just didn't claim a lot when that, just many thanks, and possibly we'll try it again, well before I left behind. However when I got home I had been naughty yet again from thinking about it and wanting to do this again.

Yoshio Sugino was a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba in the early 1930's and opened an Aikikai-affiliated dojo by 1935. He as also a direct student of Jigoro Kano, founder of judo, and by the 1940's was teaching kenjutsu, aikido, judo, and naginatajutsu full time. He was also a renowned action choreographer, providing sword instruction for Akira Kurosawa's film, Seven Samurai.
This is part 2 of the Yoshio Sugino Story. Part 1 is here.
Encountering Katori Shinto-ryu on September 15, 1927, while still just 22 years old, Sugino opened his own dojo (including a bone-setting clinic) in the city of Kawasaki, where he has based most of his activities ever since. Some time after earning his 4th dan in judo, Jigoro Kano told him that he should consider pursuing some sort of kobujutsu in addition to his judo training. Judo alone was not enough, Kano said, and one could not consider oneself a complete martial artist without studying the sword. The classical tradition to which he introduced Sugino was Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu.
Katori Shinto-ryu, founded by Iizasa Choisai Ienao (Iga no Kami), had been handed down through the generations for over 500 years in the Katori area of Shimousa (now Chiba Prefecture). Considered one of the fountainheads of Japanese martial tradition, Katori Shinto-ryu had never been taught outside the Chiba region. Kano, however, asked whether some arrangement could be made to have the style taught in Tokyo as well. This caused a great stir within the school and it was discussed at length whether or not the request should be accommodated. Eventually it was decided that, as the tradition was in danger of falling into obscurity, it should be actively disseminated in Tokyo to prevent this.
The school dispatched four shihan: Narimichi Tamai, Sozaemon Kuboki, Tanekichi Ito, and Ichizo Shiinato to teach the style at the Kodokan. It was arranged that these four should also stop in Kawasaki on their way home, training with Sugino there on Sunday afternoons and Monday mornings. Although Sugino had practiced with a shinai during his university kendo days, it was his first experience of wielding an actual sword. It was not long, however, before he had become completely engrossed in the new style of training. Katori Shinto-ryu kata tend to be longer and involve more movements than those of other classical traditions. When practicing the sword, for example, uchidachi and shidachi attack and defend back and forth in long, dynamic sets involving a whole spectrum of diverse techniques, each swordsman identifying and attacking openings in the opponent's defenses. In this respect, Katori Shinto-ryu is somewhat distinctive among kobujutsu styles, many of which typically emphasize simpler, less elaborate movements.
Sugino began with the sword, but he also threw himself into the rest of Katori Shinto-ryu's abundant curriculum, which includes the study of iai, bo, naginata, yari, shuriken and ryoto (two-sword) techniques.
He had no particular favorite among these, but rather went about each and every one with full enthusiasm. When asked whether, given his judo background, he felt any resistance toward the kata-only training methods of such classical traditions, Sugino said, "Budo is kata. Kata training is everything in budo. Shiai is usually written with two characters meaning 'to meet' and 'to test your skill', but in budo the term is more properly understood as the two characters (also pronounced shiai) meaning 'to meet with death'. If you were to engage in a serious match using bokuto, either you or your opponent would surely end up dead, don't you think? In that sense, shiai are not something you can do thoroughly and completely. When you try to talk to people about kata these days they often seem a little disappointed or disinterested. 'Ah yes, kata…' they say. But treating kata so lightly is a great mistake."
Waning Enthusiasm for Judo
Jigoro Kano had a nephew named Honda, a 6th dan who worked at the Kodokan as General Secretary. "He was one of those people who tended to make his influence felt," Sugino recalls. One day Sugino, a 4th dan by then, boldly asked Honda whether judo had any secret principles (gokui), to which Honda replied that it did not. Sugino pressed the issue, asking again, "Really? None at all?" Honda reiterated his answer, saying no, none at all. Kodokan judo had no gokui nor any other secrets. "No gokui…" Sugino considered this deeply. Even games like go (a board game) and shogi (Japanese chess) had gokui; how could it possibly be that a bujutsu, an activity where one's very life was at stake, had none? It didn't make sense. "If judo has no gokui," Sugino reflected, "is it really worth practicing?" Adding to his growing discontent with judo, Sugino had also noticed many instances in which clearly effective techniques went unnoticed or unrecognized by the referees. His enthusiasm for the art began to wane, gradually supplanted in his heart by a growing appreciation for Katori Shinto-ryu. These days judo is not taught at all in Sugino's dojo. "Modern judo, with its weight categories and other modifications, has become nothing but a sport," he laments. With his growing devotion to Katori Shinto-ryu, Sugino took his first steps down the path of the bujutsuka.
Sugino the Bank Employee
Sugino has often described his long life by saying, "I've done nothing but budo," but in fact he did once hold a job completely unrelated to budo—as a bank employee. At the age of 20, soon after graduating from Keio University, Sugino accepted a position at the Taipei headquarters of Kanan Bank. His starting salary of 90 yen per month was exceptional considering the 30 yen normally offered to new college graduates at the time. Sugino confesses to having a bit of a secret agenda in accepting that particular position. As soon as he had the chance, he intended to transfer to the bank's Singapore branch and enjoy life in the easy tropical climate of the Malay Peninsula.
During his sojourn in Taipei, Sugino by no means forgot about bujutsu. He trained every morning from 8:30 to 11, then put on his suit and went off to work at the bank as a deposit teller, a job connected with the detailed accounting of incoming funds. Frankly, Sugino made a poor bank employee, for he found that affairs at the bank inevitably took a back seat in his mind to his real love, martial arts. Of course, he more than compensated for his lack of enthusiasm for the work by his constant participation in local martial arts meets and competitions.
In May 1923 Sugino entered a judo competition in Taipei. He was selected as the first of five opponents to go against a third-dan judoka in a five-player elimination match. Judoka capable of making it through this sort of elimination competition are generally viewed as among the most skilled, with impressive strength and the ability to down at least five opponents in a match without too much difficulty. Perhaps deceived by Sugino's small stature, the third-dan moved in to execute what he probably thought would be an easy inner-thigh reap, but at the last instant Sugino caught him with a lightning-fast utsurigoshi (hip shift), one of his favorite techniques. The throw had been nearly perfect, but it so surprised the referee that he became confused as to how to call it. He hesitated to stop the match since the player still had four opponents to go. Wondering why the referee had said nothing, Sugino continued the match and brought the third-dan to the mat in a strangle hold. Eventually his opponent tapped out in submission, but the referee ignored this as well. Having no other choice, Sugino continued to apply the technique until the poor fellow lost consciousness.
He was appalled at having been forced to take the match so far to be recognized as the winner. He also felt a nagging sense of having done something hateful and even disrespectful. After the match, a senior of Sugino's judo teacher Kunisaburo Iizuka approached Sugino and said, "So, you're Iizuka's student, eh? I must say, the young ones at the Kodokan these days certainly don't disappoint!" Though he accepted the praise with reserve, the young Sugino was secretly thrilled and spent the rest of the day pleased as punch, though he tried desperately not to show it.
On the other hand, while Sugino was keeping himself busy in the Taipei martial arts world, his career was not exactly taking the turns he had intended. Specifically, the transfer to Singapore that had been promised him was showing no sign of becoming a reality. Only after much discussion with his supervisor did he extract the reply that in fact the bank had no intention at all of sending him there. Knowing that it would be impossible to argue the point, he decided to quit and return to Japan immediately. The following year he opened his dojo in Kawasaki, which he named the Kodokan Judo Shugyojo (Kodokan Judo Training Hall).
Sugino's Everyday Life
Shortly after turning 20, Sugino married a lovely young woman with whom he had fallen "head-over-heels" in love. She bore him a son, but sadly she passed away soon thereafter as a result of post-natal complications. Eventually he remarried, this time with a woman who was a distant relative, and the couple raised four more sons and two daughters. Sugino says he was a strict father, demanding that his children clean the dojo diligently when they were young and strengthen themselves through budo training when they became older. Unusually, even Sugino's own siblings called him "Sensei," for in many ways he seemed more like a senior instructor than an older brother. Only his younger sister Fusako, nearly 20 years his junior, has ever referred to him habitually as "elder brother."
Sugino filled his days attending to patients at his bone setting clinic and training in the dojo. In those days, people with broken bones and other such injuries often sought treatment first at a specialist clinic like Sugino's instead of at a regular hospital. Other doctors often referred their patients to Sugino for such treatment and the clinic prospered. Something that always surprised visitors to the Sugino household was the fact that everyone in the family spoke in an exceptionally loud voice. Of course, it was undoubtedly Sugino himself, with his own booming vocal chords, who was the cause. First-time visitors would often be led to the mistaken conclusion that the family members were arguing, when in fact this was simply their normal mode of conversation.
At any given time there were always five or six uchideshi training at the dojo morning and evening. With the addition of a second dojo in the Kawasaki area, Sugino came to have quite a few students. His approach to instruction was by no means rigid and he adjusted his instruction to the physique, strength, personality, temperament and other characteristics of each individual. He was strict, though, and not even the smallest mistake escaped his keen perception.
He would scold any who made such mistakes with a roar that echoed off the dojo walls and put the fear into everyone present (not to mention the individual who had actually committed the error). At his present age of 91, Sugino is no longer quite as vociferous as he used to be, of course, but there are still occasions when that powerful voice returns. He has been known to startle whole roomfuls of people with his ear-shattering "KAMPAI!!!" toast that comes rumbling up from his hara (lower abdomen) so that even from several meters away it seems like he is shouting by your ear. People are often shocked to find that such a voice could belong to such a seemingly frail, gentle old man. But the importance of a strong voice to Sugino can be gathered from his constant admonitions to his students that their kiai (combative shouts) are not loud enough and his obvious pleasure when someone finally manages to muster the proper volume. In any case, from his teaching in the dojo to his own training to his work in the bone setting clinic, Sugino has always pursued everything he does with a "shouting" enthusiasm and earnestness that have been consistent aspects of his personality all his life.
In contrast (but hardly surprising), he is no slouch with the pen, either. Besides being a frequent writer of letters and faithful correspondent, he has always made a habit of keeping copious notes to admonish himself of "things to do and things to avoid" in his own life and training.
Even with a few spare minutes while riding the train he could often be found writing admonishments and encouragement to himself in a notebook: "Strict with oneself, tolerant of others." "Heaven helps those who help themselves." "Life is falling down seven times and getting up eight."
Even now, before giving an interview he spends considerable time the previous day preparing notes on what he would like to say and he refers to these constantly as the interview progresses. Early to bed, early to rise is Sugino's motto and he rises every day at five in the morning for training, a custom developed through the early-morning kendo training of his student days. His diet has always been simple and without luxury. "I always try to leave the table a bit hungry," he says. "It's healthier that way." He has always been fond of sake, too. "When I was young we considered it nothing at all and quite normal to drink at least three sho!" [1 sho = 1.8 liters] Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but in any case there is no question of his fondness for spirits of whatever sort. While these days he obviously can't "put them away" like he used to, he is known to indulge in a drop or two now and then when the opportunity presents itself.
Sugino has worn his trademark long beard ever since he opened his first dojo. "I began growing it out of desperation," he says. "Visitors to the dojo kept asking me to my apparently young-looking face to 'please summon the master of the house.' I guess people didn't think I looked old enough or distinguished enough to be the head of a household or dojo. One of my students who lived with us as a boarder suggested I grow a beard, so I took his advice." And with the application of a little hair-growth tonic around his mouth and chin, he says, he was able to pull off a successful image change from "handsome youth" (he had even been nicknamed "Prince Regent" at the bank because of his resemblance to Prince Regent Hirohito) to "warrior."
Sugino and Aikido
When he was 24, Sugino learned Yoshin koryu jujutsu from a well-known teacher. Around 1937 or 1938 he was that teacher's partner in a demonstration of held in the imperial palace. There, he also demonstrated Katori Shinto-ryu with his teacher Ichizo Shiina. This budo demonstration was sponsored by the Society for the Promotion of Classical Japanese Martial Arts, an organization established a few years earlier in 1935 at the initiative of the Minister of Justice, himself a high-ranking kyudo (archery) teacher, and with the cooperation of members of the House of Councilors. Along with his teachers, Sugino had joined the new organization as a representative of the Katori Shinto-ryu. In April of the same year, the Society marked its establishment with a budo demonstration held at the Hibiya Public Hall and from then until the end of the war in 1945 it sponsored "dedication" demonstrations of classical martial arts (kobudo) at the most important Shinto shrines around Japan. Sugino participated in many of these. Sugino continued his study of Yoshin koryu jujutsu until he had reached the kyoshi level (a rank between renshi and hanshi). In judo, however, he took no further rank, despite several recommendations for promotion. "Kodokan judo had become a sport," he says, "and I was not interested in that."
Sugino first met Morihei Ueshiba around 1931 or 1932, at the newly built Wakamatsu-cho dojo in Shinjuku. He was introduced to the founder of aikido through an acquaintance, which was the usual—and more or less essential—means in those days when it was difficult to even observe an aikido training without an introduction from a reputable individual. At the time Morihei Ueshiba was nearly 50 years old and already a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
Sugino recalls that upon their first meeting he was surprised to find before his eyes a smallish yet extremely robust man with a broad smile spanning his face. He wondered if this could really be the Ueshiba he had heard so much about.
Some two years earlier, judo founder Jigoro Kano had paid a visit to the Ueshiba dojo, accompanied by some of his students, including renowned "judo genius" Nagaoka. Watching the training, Kano is said to have remarked in admiration, "Now that is true judo!"
Nagaoka was apparently taken aback and upset by this unexpected comment and challenged his teacher by asking impulsively: "Then the judo we are practicing is not real? Is what we do at the Kodokan nothing but a lie?" Kano explained that he had not intended to imply such a thing and that he had simply meant that aikido was judo in a broad sense. He continued to praise Ueshiba and later asked him to teach some of his own students, including Minoru Mochizuki, who, in addition to having an earnest personality similar to Sugino's, had also practiced Katori Shinto-ryu.
Sugino was already familiar with this story when he met Ueshiba. The founder began to give an impromptu demonstration of his art, which impressed Sugino with its very casualness and unpretentious manner. He watched Ueshiba's movements intently, noting how his body seemed to be the personification of pure energy as he shifted airily about the room tossing his attackers this way and that, with the occasional pin thrown in for good measure. Back then, those lacking a deeper understanding of bujutsu tended to be deceived by the beauty and superb skill of Ueshiba's aikido demonstrations, and would often assume they were merely prearranged. But Sugino had reached a point in his training where he was capable of easily distinguishing real martial technique from fake choreography, and he knew he was seeing the genuine article.
On this point he says: "If it isn't so good that it makes people think it's fake, then it's not true aikido. Ueshiba's techniques were truly alive, whether he was empty-handed or holding a staff or sword. You could almost 'see' the ki flowing from his hands." He continues: "People like [former high-ranking sumo wrestler] Tenryu probably inwardly thought that Ueshiba Sensei's techniques looked fake when they first saw them. But Ueshiba Sensei saw right through such doubts. To Tenryu he said, 'Ah, Tenryu, you're so very strong' and slid his hand up to pat Tenryu on the shoulder. But with this simple, subtle movement he unbalanced the wrestler completely." Impressed by Ueshiba's demonstration, Sugino enrolled in the dojo immediately.
He recalls: "Ueshiba was always smiling or laughing cheerfully like some sort of playful god, but when it came to bujutsu he had an almost superhuman insight. "Whenever we were watching demonstrations of other martial arts he would provide his own running commentary—'That technique was like this… Did you see that movement he just did? It was actually this kind of movement here… .' and so on. He understood everything that was being done, even if he was watching from a distance." Unlike today, teachers back then did not take a particularly "student-oriented" approach and no one would have even dreamed of expecting detailed explanations of techniques. Ueshiba was no exception to this older approach. He would energetically throw out one crisp, clear technique after another without much explanation, and he never showed the same technique repeatedly. Even when his students would ask to see something again, he would simply say, "Next technique!" and do something completely different. According to Sugino, training in those days was always like that. The careful, parent-like teaching that is more or less the norm nowadays could not even have been hoped for back then and students had to be that much more earnest and work that much harder to understand.
In 1935 Sugino received a teaching license from Ueshiba and after the war Sugino's dojo became the second Aikikai branch dojo in Japan. Ueshiba's son Kisshomaru (the present Doshu) and occasionally Ueshiba himself would go there once a month to teach. Ueshiba even asked Sugino if he would consider devoting himself professionally to aikido, but after considering his family responsibilities, Sugino reluctantly gave up the idea.
Still, the close relationship between the Sugino dojo and aikido continued even after Ueshiba's death and even today Sugino's students are known to do skillful aikido demonstrations.
Exquisite, fearsome techniques
While Sugino had been somewhat surprised by Ueshiba's smallish stature, he had still been impressed by his powerful build, but the martial arts master he encountered at an Asahi News-sponsored demonstration in Osaka in 1942 was altogether different. Sugino was watching the other demonstrators as he waited his turn to take the floor. A small man standing less than 150 centimeters stepped into the demonstration area. He seemed so frail and small as to have little more strength than a child. But his gaze! … His eyes swept the crowd with a piercing glare. Sokaku Takeda.
The elderly Sokaku stood squarely in the center of the floor, glaring fiercely like one of those statues of fierce-looking, muscular guardian deities that flanking the gates of many Japanese temples. Scowling at him from across the way were his opponents, a group of powerfully built Kodokan judoka. After a hasty introduction, Sokaku began his demonstration.
One of the judoka stepped forward and suddenly launched a full-power right-handed chop directed at Sokaku's head. Sokaku met the blow with his left hand and shifted his body. He grasped the judoka's right hand and threw him down. "Well now! How about that?!" he shouted.
The next man moved in with another furious strike to Sokaku's brow. This time Sokaku met the attack with his right hand, shifting and opening his posture again, seizing the attacker's arm and pinning him easily on his back—on top of the first attacker! "Next! Come on, quickly, quickly!" The remaining judoka rushed in with similar attacks. Shifting this way and that, Sokaku avoided their strikes and put them down one by one, eventually heaping them into a pile resembling a giant cushion. All wore pained expressions as they tried to wriggle free, but Sokaku pinned them completely by holding their tangled arms lightly in a bundle with one hand.
Sugino felt a shiver up his spine—part in awe, part fear—as he watched the elderly Sokaku calmly twist his robust, high-spirited young opponents on to the ground and pin them almost effortlessly. Sokaku's techniques clearly had nothing to do with physical power. They were, Sugino recognized, high-level applications of certain important principles and represented nothing less than the quintessence of Japanese martial arts.
By that time, Sokaku Takeda had long been a well-known figure in the Japanese martial arts world and his techniques echoed among the martial artists of the day. Sugino knew of him, of course, particularly as the Daito-ryu teacher of Morihei Ueshiba. While he never actually spoke with Sokaku directly and had seen Sokaku demonstrate on this one occasion alone, the diminutive Daito-ryu master left a vivid impression on Sugino that has remained to this day, an impression that is strangely two-fold: While he has only the highest regard for the level and quality of Sokaku's aiki techniques, he frankly admits that he found his attitude somewhat poor, particularly in the way he would shower his opponents with taunts and jeers during his demonstration: "Well, look what happened to you!… Hey you, get up off the ground, hey?! " And while he immobilized them with a pin from which they struggled to free themselves, he would slap them on the buttocks and say, "What a wimp, you call yourself a man?!"
Suginos friend Minoru Mochizuki told him a story about one of his own encounters with Sokaku: "Once I was minding Ueshiba Sensei's home while he was out when Sokaku happened to come around. I served him tea, but he wouldn't drink it. Instead, he filled another cup and ordered me to drink it first. I did and only after that did he finally drink some himself. It was the same with the cakes and everything else I served him; he wouldn't touch any of it until I had tasted it for poison first!" Sugino reflects:
"Sokaku certainly had wonderful techniques, of that there is no question. But his attitude, well, it was really something … ."
Sugino is a veritable "living witness" to times past as he easily recalls stories about the most important martial arts figures with a clarity as if they had happened yesterday. Hearing him talk, it is easy to understand why he has come to be known as "the last swordsman."

Spring Makeover!
With spring at our doorstep, it's a great time to consider redecorating your outdoor space. Follow these steps for a flawless outdoor paradise!
1. Establish a primary purpose for your space
What is your outdoor gathering area used for most? Do you like to invite friends over for cookouts, or do you prefer to reserve the space for quiet weekend afternoons with the kids? This will determine everything from the furniture you need to how you should arrange your pieces and accessories.
For example, if you plan to host graduations and birthdays by the pool this season, you may want to spruce up your patio area with a couple of sofas, a coffee table, arm chairs and ottomans for extra seating. However, this may be overboard if you plan to use the area for only you and your family members. Whatever your specific needs are, we have the unique and stylish outdoor furniture required to design the space you have in mind.
2. Decide on a focal point
After you've determined how many people will regularly be using your outdoor living space, solidify your effective layout by deciding on a focal point. This will serve as the heart of your space and the rest of your furnishings and decor should build off of this area. For example, if you've recently invested in a new barbecue and plan on using it frequently for cookouts, your dining table should be the focal point.
However, another popular focal point is the fireplace. This would call for more focus on a conversation-based seating arrangement, with your table, chairs and sofa surrounding your fireplace. If you have a fire pit, make sure that it's set up far enough away from the pool that you're able to place seating around all sides.
3. Decorate with nature
Nothing creates a brighter, more lively living area than a garden full of colorful flowers. If you don't have space in your outdoor gathering area for a garden, hang potted arrangements of your favorite flowers from your fence for a charming, whimsical appearance.
Similarly, if your dining table is the focal point of your living space, create a head-turning centerpiece with a vase of tulips, sunflowers, orchids or lilacs. Or, consider drawing the eye up with a floor plant in between your sofa and arm chair. This is an easy way to add splashes of color to the area.
4. Accentuate your furnishings
Choosing your outdoor furniture is only half the fun while decorating your gathering space. Find accents and accessories that make your living area come to life and your larger furnishings pop. You may want something simple like a colorful umbrella that coordinates with your surrounding color scheme or a cozy reclining chair that you can dry off on under the sun after a dip in the pool. Don't forget about lighting, as this sets the mood and ambiance. Decorating Den Interiors has got it all, from elegant lighting fixtures to lounge chairs and stylish ottomans to complete your poolside paradise.

When the lights go down on the City
And the sun shines on the Bay
Oh I wanna be there in my City. . .
I didn't expect to, but the truth of the matter is - I love San Francisco! The city is so eclectic. It's pretty. It's busy. It's quirky. It's modern. It's old. It's impossible to be bored in. Unfortunately, our visit to Fog City wasn't as long as I would have liked, but we still managed to see a lot:
Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 with it's resident seals.
No trip to San Francisco is complete without venturing into Chinatown:
You also have to make the eight turns in a city block down the world's Crookest Street, Lombard Street.
San Francisco has the west's version of Central Park in their Golden Gate Park. One of Mom's favorite areas in the part is their famous Rose Garden. Past All-American Roses are on display in a sensory bit of ground covered in glorious roses and wonderful fragrances:
There's so much more - trolley cars, Alcatraz (as seen from Pier 39) and elaborately decorated houses referred to as Painted Ladies:
We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge at twilight time and watched the lights come on in the city. We even did a little walking on the iconic bridge:

A cool way to spend a Sunday night

Betty St.Onge of Tilton enjoys some time with her children, 4-year-old Zachary and 9-year-old Aubrey as they practice ice skating during the beginner skate time at Tilton Schools Chapel Arena.

January 26, 2011
TILTON — Affordable fun is always at a premium, so when the Sanbornton Recreation Department, the Pines Community Center and Tilton School team up each winter to provide free skate time, Sunday nights become a weekly highlight for many local families.
Each Sunday evening the private school in Tilton has opened its Chapel Ice Arena for residents of Sanbornton, Northfield and Tilton in time blocks that give everyone from the novice to the most proficient skater an opportunity to enjoy the indoor skating facilities.
From 5:15 until 6 p.m. beginners rule the rink. Stacks of plastic milk crates are available to help them stay on their feet as moms and dads or guardians applaud their efforts.
The Edwardson family of Sanbornton brought 2-year-old Carl and 5-year-old Ella last week for only their second trip to the arena and already Ella was getting brave enough to leave her crates and skate along behind her father. Mom Anna Edwardson stayed with Carl as he shuffled along on his shiny new skates, smiling from ear to ear.
Four-year-old Zachary St. Onge and his sister Aubrey from Tilton were also taking lessons from their mom as she led them around the rink. Zachary took a few tumbles but came up smiling each time and soldiered on as Aubrey began to get the hang of skating on her own. Betty St. Onge said she was excited about the weekly opportunity to enjoy time with her children.
"This is fun. It's great for the kids and a nice family-oriented activity. Best of all, it's free. Times are tough so this is a great way to spend an evening out with the kids," she said.
At 6 p.m. the crates come off the ice as Family Skate begins for all levels of skaters, and at 7 p.m. the music ramps up a bit when teens and older kids take over the rink to finish up the night.
"We come every week. It's pretty fun but I wish we had more time. Still, we're really lucky we get to come here and skate at all so it's good," said high school junior Ben Jasons of Sanbornton.
With a parent or guardian available to join them for Family Skate they still manage to get two hours of ice time, he said.
Parents like Michelle Knapp of Northfield were having just as much fun as the kids, chatting with friends as they laced up their skates and circled the ice. Knapp said her children, now in middle school and high school, all learned to skate through the Sunday night program.
"We started my daughter skating here as soon as we could and have been coming ever since," she said.
Fellow Northfield resident Charles Beckley said he and his sons attend as often as they can.
"It's a nice program for the area. There are worse things kids could be out doing at night. Here they can come and have fun with their friends and the price is right," he said.
Another added benefit, Beckley noted, was the hot chocolate and snacks sold by the Pines, something not available when skating on a pond or lake.
Julie Lonergan of the Sanbornton Recreation Department and Brittni Stewart, recreation director at the Pines Community Center, said the program has been going on almost longer than they can remember but it has maintained its popularity over the years.
"I grew up coming here to skate so the program has been around for awhile; about 20 years or so. It's a lot of fun for families and it's really great of the Tilton School to make it all possible," said Stewart.
She and Lonergan have sign up sheets for families to log in. Last week nearly 180 people attended from the three area communities. Some people forget to sign in so actual numbers are even higher, they said.
The program began on Jan. 2 and will continue each Sunday through Feb. 13 this year. No registration is required and residents of Tilton, Northfield and Sanbornton are all invited to attend.

Last we left Scott (Tyler Posey), Stiles (Dylan O'Brien), Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) and the rest of MTV's Teen Wolf crew, things were not looking so great. Scott and Allison (Crystal M. Reed) had broken up; Jackson (Colton Haynes) had turned from one supernatural being into another, and Derek's pack was left alone in the woods, being circled by the unknown.
When Teen Wolf returns for its third season on Monday, June 3, four months have passed and the new school year is just starting. But while it is doing so without one conflict-filled character, a whole new pack of them are coming in. Beacon Hills will soon be home to a bunch of new Alphas, sure to stir the pot and raise the stakes even higher.
Celebuzz was on-set with the Teen Wolf cast to get the scoop on Season 3. Here are some highlights.
…3.) Both Scott and Stiles are focused on growing up and bettering themselves, not relationships. "Scott is really trying to take care of himself," Posey said. "He wants to feel good about himself, so to do that he really has to be proactive and responsible, and he's in a great place, even [with] the break-up."
"Towards the end of the second season, Scott was kind of getting behind in school, and he was putting everything before school and trying to save people, and he has since prioritized his life. He's doing great in school; he's reading every day; he's doing a bunch of pull-ups — one-armed pull-ups, by the way!"
And as for Stiles, O'Brien shared that his research is actually evolving into real detective work: "His room has turned into a crime scene [investigation] of sorts. He has boards everywhere and pictures up and things connected. He has this web of information around his walls, kind of. He's always been the detective, sort of, but now he's actually becoming like his dad."
Teen Wolf returns for Season 3 on Monday, June 3 at 10PM on MTV.

Nov 06, 2014
By Nick Murray, Communications Liaison 2014 CIS championship / Photo credit Mike Needham, UPEI Photography
CHARLOTTETOWN (CIS) – Defender Maxime Leconte was the hero for the UQAM Citadins in the second quarter-final of the CIS men's soccer championship as his shot from the half-way line with 15 minutes lifted the RSEQ conference champions to a 2-1 win over the Alberta Golden Bears at UPEI Turf, Thursday afternoon.
It was an incredible finish for Leconte, whose strike over despairing keeper Connor James capped a performance which saw him deservedly take the player-of-the-game honour for his team and set up a semi-final against McMaster Marauders, Friday at 4 p.m. AST.
It will mark the first national semifinal appearance in team history for the Citadins, who claimed CIS bronze in 1998 but had advanced directly to the third-place match out of pool play. The tournament was a six-team competition at the time.
It was the Golden Bears who took an early lead when the impressive Niko Saler put in a cross with Mohamed Teliani was able to meet with an excellent far post header. Saler was impressive throughout the game and his left foot crosses caused numerous problems.
UQAM equalized in the 12th minute when RSEQ player of the year Armel Dagrou was able to steer home from close range after a defensive mix-up.
UQAM caused most of the problems in the second half but James was resolute and extra time seemed a possibility before Leconte's moment of brilliance. Seeing James slightly off his line, his firm shot gave the goalkeeper no chance.
Despite some late pressure the Canada West finalists could not respond and in the end it was a deserving win for the first-time Quebec champions.
Alberta moves to the consolation side of the draw and will battle UNB Friday at 11 a.m. AST.

And only 4% are making very serious money with affiliate marketing – $10 000 a month and more.
So, to tell the truth, affiliate marketing work but for only a small number of people.
Why it doesn't work for most affiliate marketers?
Simply. The just doing it wrong!
Those times when you were able to just get your affiliate link and spam everybody with it and make commissions are gone forever!
Now people are smarter, they have more choices, the competition is much much higher.
That's why so many people fail with affiliate marketing nowadays.
But the good news is that there is a way to do it properly.
And that's why I created an advanced training on "How To Build a 6-Figure Affiliate Marketing Business Selling Other People's Products…"

June 19, 1999, Section A, Page 1Buy Reprints
The House concluded a bitter, wide-ranging debate today over the seeds of violence among American children by rejecting, 280 to 147, a package of new restrictions on firearms that was significantly weaker than legislation approved by the Senate last month.
An odd coalition of liberal Democrats, moderate Republicans and conservative opponents of gun control in both parties banded together to defeat the House measures, which struck many lawmakers as too little and many others as too much. In the end, 82 Republicans joined with 197 Democrats and 1 independent in opposition to the legislation, while only 10 Democrats sided with 137 Republicans in favor of it.
That outcome seriously clouded the prospects for the passage of modest new gun-control measures in Congress this year and brought to a close -- at least for now -- the long, intense weeks of political wrangling and legislative soul-searching touched off by the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., on April 20.
A House juvenile-crime bill that was passed on Thursday, before the companion legislation on gun control was considered, will proceed to a conference committee to be reconciled with a Senate juvenile-crime bill that includes modest new restrictions on firearms.
But that could be many weeks away, and the absence of gun control in the House version makes it unclear how much, if any, of the Senate measures will survive. House Democrats vowed to push their cause in other ways and perhaps use parliamentary maneuvers to bring back to the House floor stronger gun-control provisions than the ones they opposed today.
''We'll use every method we can,'' said Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, the Democratic leader.
The juvenile-crime legislation that the House approved on Thursday allocated $1.5 billion for tougher punishment and prevention of crime among children, gave Federal permission for the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools and expressed the House's condemnation of the entertainment industry for peddling such violent wares.
The House has traditionally proven more resistant to gun control than the Senate, but today's defeat also reflected the relentlessly building war between Republicans and Democrats as they head into the 2000 elections, when control of the House as well as the White House is up for grabs. The political calculations of each party helped to doom any kind of consensus, and the finger-pointing began right after the final vote.
Democrats said they had succeeded in blocking and exposing a Republican claim of progress that, in fact, relaxed a number of aspects of gun-control law.
''The House leadership gutted this bill in the dark of night,'' President Clinton said today, referring to a vote at midnight Thursday for the most lenient of several proposals to regulate the sale of firearms at gun shows. It was the passage of this measure, supported by House Republican leaders and the National Rifle Association, that stirred such solid Democratic opposition to the final gun-control bill.
''Our nation is waiting for Washington to pass a real law that keeps guns away from children and out of the hands of children,'' Mr. Clinton said. ''I call on Congress to stop playing politics and start living up to its responsibility to save lives.''
But Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, accused Democrats of the same games.
''Let there be no mistake,'' said a written statement by Mr. Hastert, who did not join other Republican leaders at a news conference after the final vote. ''The vast majority of the Democratic caucus walked away when they had the chance to walk forward for the good of the country.''
The Democrats' opposition to the bill stemmed from the stinging defeat, around 1 this morning, of a measure sponsored by Representative Carolyn McCarthy, Democrat of Nassau, to require background checks on all buyers at gun shows. Mrs. McCarthy's measure, which mirrored the Senate legislation, defined gun shows broadly and gave vendors up to three business days to get the results of those checks from law enforcement officials.
But the House defeated it only an hour after narrowly approving a rival gun-show measure that was sponsored by Representative John D. Dingell, Democrat of Michigan, that relaxed current law in some ways. Mr. Dingell formerly served on the board of the N.R.A.
His measure, like Mrs. McCarthy's, obliged the 40 percent of vendors at gun shows who are hobbyists or collectors to initiate the kinds of background checks that only the 60 percent of sellers who are licensed dealers must now perform. But it gave both these groups only 24 hours, not enough time for a thorough check, some Democrats said. Licensed dealers currently have three business days.
All of the House Republican leaders voted with Mr. Dingell, and in the minutes between his victory and Mrs. McCarthy's defeat, which was all but certain at that point, she choked back tears as she addressed her colleagues from the well of the House.
Mrs. McCarthy, whose husband was killed and her son critically injured by a gunman on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993, said, ''I made a promise to my son and to my husband.'' The nature of that vow was implicit as she added, ''If there was anything that I could do to prevent one family from going through what I have gone through and every other victim that I know have gone through, then I have done my job.''
Mrs. McCarthy drew a standing ovation, even from many of the Republicans and conservative Democrats who then voted against her proposal, which was defeated, 253 to 193. Mr. Dingell's measure had passed by a vote of 218 to 211.
The House went on today to approve a host of other gun-control measures, which all died along with the final bill. They included a requirement that licensed dealers provide child-safety devices with all the handguns they sold, new restrictions on the possession of semiautomatic rifles by children under 18, and a ban on the import of high-capacity ammunition clips.
In the end, most Democrats said that because the weakness of Mr. Dingell's gun-show provision eclipsed the strengths in some of the other measures they decided to vote against the bill that stitched them all together.
At the same time, many conservative in both parties who had voted with Mr. Dingell so disliked the additional restrictions on firearms that passed that they abandoned the bill for the opposite reason.
In the middle were Republican leaders who felt the need to show that they could pass a bill and even many conservative Republicans who wanted to pass legislation and insure that they would not have to return to the subject of guns anytime soon.
The Republican leadership also wanted to show that Mr. Hastert could marshal his unruly caucus, with its narrow majority, toward the enactment of legislation. Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the majority whip, lobbied conservatives in his party to accept the new firearms restrictions and even voted for them himself, though he had made clear all week long how odious he found them.
Mr. Hastert, who also voted for the bill, sat down with moderate Republicans just an hour before the vote, urging them to support the legislation, said Representative Amo Houghton, Republican of New York.
''He said that it was important that we got something done and not let it go down and have wasted all this time posturing,'' said Mr. Houghton, who voted for the bill. ''I'm sure he was very concerned that here was another handful of sand in the gears, when we needed some lubrication.''
James Jay Baker, the chief lobbyist for the organization, said today that the N.R.A. had cared most about defeating Mrs. McCarthy's gun-show amendment and promoting Mr. Dingell's. Having accomplished that, he said, the rifle association was willing to live with the rest of the bill.
''We thought, on balance, it was better to get this issue over and done with,'' Mr. Baker said.
But Democratic leaders decided to oppose the bill, and the party hung together more solidly in the final vote on the bill than they had on the rival gun-show measures.
Representative Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, conceded that some Democrats who had broken party ranks on other votes simply decided that ''they wanted to screw up the Republicans.''
Democrats also kept many Republican advocates of gun control, like Representative Christopher Shays of Connecticut, on their side. Mr. Shays, in a floor speech just before his vote to kill the bill, said he objected to the gun lobby's sway over the Republican majority, reflected in the success of Mr. Dingell's measure.
''I hope, in my lifetime, the marriage between the N.R.A. and my party ends in divorce,'' Mr. Shays said. ''It's a bad marriage.''
Mr. DeLay said that in a way he was pleased with the final result.
''The guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence,'' Mr. DeLay said, adding that he ''had a great time this week'' getting to debate cultural issues.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common diseases, but is still a challenge to cure. Different medical treatments are used, first of all Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), however these are sometimes ineffective and long-term intake can lead to underestimated complications. Recently, some studies investigated the role of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in the medical treatment of GERD. It seems that IMT is able to increase the pressure generated by the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES), reduce spontaneous releases of LES, acid exposure, use of PPIs, and improve symptoms and quality of life for GERD patients.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of IMT in association with myofunctional therapy exercises of swallowing set by Daniel Garliner (m-IMT) on the symptoms of patients with non-erosive gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (NERD).
Twenty-one adult patients with NERD were enrolled from May to December 2017 and performed m-IMT over a period of 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, all the patients completed the following questionnaires: GERD oesophageal symptomatology (GERDQ), extra-oesophageal GERD symptomatology (RSI), quality of life (GERD-Health Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (GERD-HRQL), and underwent laryngeal endoscopy.
Nineteen patients completed m-IMT. GERDQ (from 8.36±3.94 to 1.7±3.41; p<.05), RSI (from to 21.68±10.26 to 6.93±8.37; p<.05) and GERDHRQL (from 25.68±16.03 to 8.4±11.06; p<.05) the questionnaire scores significantly reduced after treatment. In addition, the laryngeal endoscopy score greatly improved (from 14.24±4.15 to 7.4±1.77; p<.05).
m-IMT is a low cost therapy without side effects. It could be useful in association with PPI or alone for selected GERD cases and for mild NERD forms, in association with diet. Further studies are required to prove the effects of m-IMT on GERD symptoms and decide the best treatment schedule.
