Kenneth and Claudia Robinette of Marston were honored as the Richmond Community College Foundation Citizens of the Year at the recognition banquet on Oct. 16 at the Cole Auditorium. The Robinette's children, Neil and Gabrielle, G.R. Kindley, and RCC President Dale McInnis painted the picture of a couple whose love of family is closely followed by their dedication to serving their community and region.
Neil Robinette said his upbringing taught him to go beyond what is expected and go the extra mile in everything he does. His parents led by example.
"That has been my parents' approach to every aspect of their lives," he said. "They have a passion and commitment for everything they do. My mom takes on things and manages them very well with grace and calmness. She takes care of all around her. From her, I've learned that life's tasks are not always easy."
He described his dad as a perfectionist.
"He says anything worth doing, is worth doing well," he said. "He has shown me the way by serving and fulfilling his obligations to the fullest. My parents have done everything with purpose and created opportunities for others that were not otherwise there."
Gabrielle Robinette said her parents have integrity and do for others without expecting anything in return. She said they opened their arms to all of the children they brought home and treated them as family, including two football players who remain close to them today. When they left for college, her parents' involvement in community, education, and civic endeavors continued to grow.
"My father has always thought about jobs," she said. "My mother has been involved with education through RCC, public schools, and universities. My parents live so others have equal opportunities for success. They strive to provide support for others."
G.R. Kindley counts the couple among his closest friends and business associates. As president of the RCC Foundation, he enjoyed asking the Robinettes to meet him at his office so he could see their faces when he told them of the honor.
"They were surprised and humbled," he said. "They said they wondered what I wanted to talk about and had their checkbook ready. They are that kind of couple."
Kindley said Kenneth Robinette came to Richmond County 30 years ago and quickly became a cornerstone in the community having been elected to the county board of commissioners in 1996 and serving as chairman since 1998. Claudia has been his partner and supported him as well as serving on boards in her own right.
"I serve with them on the Discovery Place Kids cabinet, done things with them at the high school, and been business partners," Kindley said. "I have asked them to support or serve in numerous ways, and they have always complied with honesty and integrity. They have done for individuals without their knowledge. They don't just give money; they give their time and put a lot of effort into everything they do, and always stay down to earth. Those are rare values, which they have instilled in their children. You're a great team working together for the betterment of Richmond County, and I'm proud of your accomplishments."
RCC President Dale McInnis said the Robinettes are a united, successful couple whose active leadership and support of the college and its students made them an ideal choice for this year's recognition.
"Claudia has been an RCC Trustee for over 14 years," he said. "She served on the steering committee that helped make our Forte Campaign a success and has led our board's salaries and personnel committee with great wisdom and insight. She is held in highest regard by all of our trustees for her professionalism and dedication to the college."
During the summer, McInnis invited Kenneth Robinette to join college leaders in traveling to Erie, Pennsylvania, to talk with leaders of The Plastek Group about their needs regarding their Hamlet plant. Robinette spent three days demonstrating to Plastek and RCC that jobs are important in Richmond County.
"Kenneth is a bold leader at a time when we need bold leaders," McInnis said. "You always know where you stand with Kenneth, and he is always standing up to make our county a better place to live and work. Like Claudia, he is also a champion for RCC, working to strengthen our partnership with the county and the quality of our facilities and our campus."
The Robinettes stood together at the podium looking out at the crowd of college donors and special guests and gave their thanks for the recognition.
"Looking at the list of those honored in the past you see a list of distinguished people," Claudia said. "It is an honor to be among them. I'd like to thank everyone here for what you have done for this institution through scholarships and donations."
Kenneth Robinette thanked numerous people for the support they have given him through the years that allowed him to accomplish the things he has done.
"I'm proud to be a very small part of RCC," he said. "Claudia and I make a good team. Everything we do is important to us, especially our family and church. Everyone here is special to us. Thank you so much for this recognition."

Cameron has said he is determined to push through legislation allowing same-sex marriage "not only as someone who believes in equality but as someone who believes passionately in marriage."
But his commitment to that aim has set him at odds with many in his own party.
A number of local party members wrote to the prime minister Sunday, urging him to reconsider.
"We feel very strongly that the decision to bring this Bill before Parliament has been made without adequate debate or consultation with either the membership of the Conservative Party or with the country at large," said the letter, published on the Conservative Grassroots website.
"Long-held religious and personal freedoms and the right to free speech will be adversely affected by the passing of this Bill."
The Church of England also outlined its objections to the bill in a briefing note sent to lawmakers Friday.
It cannot support the legislation "because of its concern for the uncertain and unforeseen consequences for wider society and the common good when marriage is redefined in gender-neutral terms," it said.
It also argues that civil partnerships "already confer the same rights as marriage" and that allowing same-sex couples to marry will open the door to "continued legal disputes for years to come."
The issue of same-sex marriage has also prompted wide disagreement elsewhere.
Lawmakers in France's lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, on Saturday passed with a wide majority the most important article of a law to legalize same-sex marriage.

Mom-And-Pop Christmas IV: Business is a pressing engagement at Prospect Park Cleaners (With Video)
Breezing by his parents as they reminisced about their days as second-generation owners of Prospect Park Cleaners, busy Alan Ozer shared a running family joke.
"How would you like to have a pressing engagement for the rest of your life?" Alan said, pretending to mimic his dad proposing marriage to his mom back in the fall of 1953.
Alan's delivery was deadpan perfection as he beelined to the three-press shirt station in the front of the shop at 1105 Lincoln Ave., the same Unipress equipment installed in 1959 that was used by his parents and his maternal grandparents before him.
"You want mom and pop, you found a real mom and pop. They are the glue that holds this whole thing together," the third-generation dry-cleaner said as he ran a blue, pin-striped shirt through the course of "collar and cuff," "sleever" and "body" presses, his voice nearly drowned out by loud successive bursts of pressurized air.
Neatly dressed in slacks and a camel-hair sports coat from Torrelli's, 83-year-old Herbert Ozer pulled out a chair from under a vintage sewing table and took a seat as he introduced himself and his wife, Marlene, 80. She, too, was impeccably dressed, all in gray with a strand of white pearls. She preferred to stand.
"Everybody worked here growing up," began Herbert, who along with Marlene is officially retired. He practically beamed as he spoke of his successful offspring, beginning with their son, Alan, who quit a corporate job to return to the family business 1988, and their daughters, Dr. Gail Berman, a cardiologist in New Jersey, and Nancy Fagan, a mechanical engineer in Connecticut.
"I grew up working here, and I'm a person who likes tradition," offered 52-year-old Alan, who was 16 when he came on board. He held out his right hand and pointed out a Masonic ring on his finger. It belonged to his grandfather, Jacob Haltrecht, a German immigrant whom his parents said opened the family business during the Great Depression at the age of 32.
"It was me and my mother and four bucks in the bank," Marlene recalled of those early hard times. "It was the crash. He had zippo."
For Herbert and Marlene Ozer, of Springfield, theirs is as much a love story as a business yarn. It will be 64 years on New Year's Eve since they first met. Continued...
"She is responsible for whatever we have done here together. Without her, I don't think it would have happened, and she never once complained," Herbert said.
The couple went on to tell how Marlene's dad opened the business as a tailor shop across the street at 1040 Lincoln Ave., along with her mother, Dora. Back then, the Haltrechts lived on Ninth Avenue in Prospect Park.
When her father came to the United States from Germany in 1921, he only planned to stay for a while and then return home. Her parents met through a friend of Jacob's, William Devon, who married Dora's sister, Rose.
Marlene was 6 when her parents put her to work.
"As soon as I could write," she said.
In addition to tailoring, they took in dry cleaning, which they sent out to Chester Dye Works. Marlene would walk to the shop right after school — the old Prospect Park Elementary located where a Methodist church parking lot is now. Her job was writing tickets.
Marlene had two younger siblings, neither of whom worked in the shop. Though she would rather have been playing with her friends, Marlene never said a word to her authoritarian father. When things eventually got better financially, Jacob hired help.
"In the beginning, he didn't have any money. It was pure economics," she said.
Marlene was 16 when she met 19-year-old Herbert. They were on a double date with other people, ringing in the new year in 1948 at a party at the Clubhouse, formerly The Colony, in Chester. Not at all smitten with the escort her mother had picked out for her, Marlene had no problem admitting that she flirted with Herbert the entire time. Not that Herbert minded.
"She was quite an outgoing young lady. She dressed nicely and she carried herself nicely. I was very impressed," he recalled. Continued...
Within a week or two, he asked her out on a date. To this day, he said it was more her idea than his, but nonetheless a good one.
"Of all the girls I had known prior, she was the one I felt most attracted to," Herbert said.
Like Marlene, Herbert had a strong work ethic. He, too, began working in the family business as a teen. His father was Dr. George Ozer, an optometrist in Chester. Among Herbert's duties at the office was making new eyeglasses, and fixing broken ones.
Herbert actually proposed marriage to Marlene several months before his discharge from the U.S. Navy. They married on Jan. 9, 1954. Marlene's mother planned the entire affair for 200 guests at the old Broadwood Hotel in Philadelphia.
"I can remember it very well," Herbert said. "It was very cold, and there was snow on the ground. His bride wore a dress from the Blum Store on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia.
"It was like a small Nordstrom's," Marlene noted.
They honeymooned for a week at Nevele, a resort in the Catskills like the one depicted in the movie "Dirty Dancing."
"There was no dirty dancing," Herbert assured.
Though Herbert had the choice to attend college on the GI Bill, he opted to go to work for his father-in-law. With four months of training at the National Institute of Dry Cleaning in Silver Spring, Md., he was one of his five employees.
"It was all new to me, but very worthwhile," he said. Continued...
From 1954 to 1965, Herbert's father-in-law was also his boss.
"In the beginning, it was tough. It got to be OK," he admitted. "I did what I had to do to the best of my abilities."
Herbert was still in the Navy, but was kept in the loop as plans were hatched to move the business from the old, two-story property, which was about 18 feet wide and 40 feet deep, into the sprawling 3,000-square-foot shop where they are today.
He said the former site got too cramped when Jacob stopped outsourcing dry-cleaning and bought all the basic cleaning and press equipment in 1948.
Though it was challenging, Herbert said it didn't take long for him to learn the business, top to bottom.
"There is nothing I can't do," he said.
"I don't sew," Marlene chirped in.
Herbert and Marlene, who resided for many years on Pennsylvania Avenue in Prospect Park, bought into the business in 1965. Generally, Herbert would start work at 7 a.m. and be home by 5:45 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Marlene worked a half-day at the shop, and a half-day at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church as a preschool teacher.
The couple spoke of Prospect Park and all the many friends they made and customers they served there with fondness. And the Ozer men said they will always try to patronize small businesses first.
"I'll go to Hill's Hardware whenever possible, and I eat in sandwich shops over a chain," Alan said.
Donald Ferrell of Ridley Township has been dropping off his dry cleaning at Prospect Park Cleaners two or three times a month for the last 30 years.
"It's his charming personality," he said of his longevity, referring to Alan. When he heard Herbert was in the back, he poked his head behind the counter and offered a quick hello.
Seriously, Ferrell said, "If I find somebody who does a good job, why not go back?"
Alan took over the business in January 1990.
"When my father owned the store, he wore a coat and tie every day, unlike me," said Alan, comfortably dressed in jeans and a shirt.
"I like being my own boss," he said.
A graduate of Widener University with a degree in computer science, Alan had nearly four years on the job at Weston Control in Archbald, Pa., when he began to sense company instability and left to rejoin his parents' shop.
Alan is a divorced father of two daughters. Audrey Marie, 16, helps out at the shop on Saturdays. Alexandra Rachel, 17 and an aspiring thespian, "is way too busy," Alan said.
Alan said "dry" cleaning is really a misnomer since fluids are used in the process.
"We just don't use water," he said.
He has no regrets about leaving his corporate position, only that dry cleaning is a fading service.
"This has been a negative growth industry for quite some time," Herbert said, attributing the decline to the economy, waning dress standards and new fabrics that require less care. He called it a perfect storm.
At their peak, the family had four "drop off" stores: two in Chester, at 413 Market St. and 807 Edgmont Ave.; one on MacDade Boulevard in Glenolden; and one on Delmar Drive in Folcroft, and 17 people on the payroll. The two Chester sites were eventually consolidated into one location at 533 Market St., which was managed for decades by Lottie Foley. Alan sold the Chester property in May 2012. The stores in Glenolden and Folcroft were sold off in the 1980s.
"This is the one and only store now," said Herbert, who along with Marlene helps out on occasion.
It's a job that requires discipline, according to the Ozers.
"You have to pay attention," Alan said. "I have to listen to the equipment. I can hear a problem coming."
It's the reason he doesn't play any music at work.
Despite being listed as hazardous work because of the chemicals, Herbert Ozer is grateful his entire family remained healthy. He noted that chemicals being used today are more environmentally friendly.
Open Monday through Saturday, Prospect Park is a full-service cleaner/tailoring business, with all work done on the premises. Full service includes everything from shirts to suits to coats to wedding gowns.
Shirts are $1.50 for a wash and press. In his dad's heyday, shirts were five for $1.25.
They also do draperies and even Ugg sheepskin boots.
"I will be around until the last shot is fired," Alan Ozer said, moving on to the next task of pant pressing.
With that, dad resumed his post, steaming what looked like a man's outer coat, and mom began to slip plastic wrap over the newly pressed shirts and hang them on the conveyor.
"Remember," Alan said, "'Tis the season to dry clean."

Chris Hesse was born and raised in Humboldt and left the north coast to pursue music in So-Cal when he was 20 years old.
That was back in 1994. He then answered a drummer-wanted ad and formed a band with Doug Robb and Dan Estrin. Now, almost 17 years later, Hoobastank is still together, still touring the world constantly and they've sold over 10 million albums along the way.
On Tuesday (Nov. 22) at 7 p.m., Myles will ask Chris about:
His Humboldt beginnings, meeting the members of Hoobastank for the first time, how the guys from Incubus were instrumental in launching his career, Eureka's Mr. Bungle as an influence, their forthcoming new record that's produced by Gavin Brown (Metric/Three Days Grace/Billy Talent), playing USO shows, riding in Black Hawk helicopters and much more!

Yes this is the best massage cream that I have ever used. I do a lot of massages to sore clients. Only need to use a little products but goes a long way. I have however had a handful of clients who can not use this product, either because of the odor, or they really have sensitive skin. But I order just about 1 gallon a month. Most clients say it smells minty. I have a client who has been coming to me for 3 years I tried some other cream and she had to return the next day just to get her back massaged again. I swear by this product.
Works great and smells great my clients love it!
This creme goes on well, long lasting without being slippery. It just works!
my clients comment on how well it smells. I do a lot of deep tissue, this has just the right amount of glide for long strokes if I choose to or more of a focused trigger point. Feels silky on the skin.
This is good for muscle tension & subsequent work. Good glide & lasting moisture plus a pleasant fragrance, it works well in the clinic.
I use this product for sports massage, medical and orthopedic massage, and massage for relaxation. I use it for clients ranging from student athletes to Silver Sneakers. It is the best creme I have used & clients love it as well.
This is a good cream. I'm not sure if it actually penetrates the muscles or works better than any other cream. But my clients love the scent. They say it smells medicinal (but not in a sterile clinic way).

Keep up to date on all the hockey action during the postseason.
As voters and political parties gear up for a provincial election next week, it will be important that any prospective and incoming government outlines a clear vision for the province's economic future and sustainable growth. More importantly, the next government must be willing and able to exercise the mandate provided to it by the voters of British Columbia in order to secure that vision. Central to effective governance, as it relates to steering the whole of the B.C. economy and sustainable growth in the province, must be a renewed and whole-of-government approach to provincial engagement in urban policy. »
The Tories' attack ads on Justin Trudeau don't appear to have found public favour. Despite a month of assaults following Trudeau's elevation to his party's leadership, the Liberals saw their support touch the 35-per-cent level, according to a new Ipsos Reid poll, while the Conservatives have slipped to 32 per cent, and the NDP fall to 25 per cent. The Liberal lead is even more dramatic, at 41 per cent, among those who've seen the ads. Why might this be? »

I spend time worrying allot about why people do stupid things, and why they do them in mass? Years ago the noted self-trained historian and author Barbara Tuchman wrote a book titled "The March to Folly; From Troy to Viet Nam" The book was a historical examination of why governments pursue policies detrimental to their own best interests. It's an interesting read, although I think its probably out of print nowadays. In the book, Ms. Tuchman writes about four different events in history where governments or powers simply ignore all the signs, all the writing on the wall, and bring about their own demise. The events she writes about are;
- The Trojans and their famous gift from their arch enemies, the Greeks. Why in the hell would you take that thing into your city gates anyway?
- The Catholic Church and and the Protestant Succession. The Church was corrupt, it's leaders knew it was corrupt and for 200 hundred years assumed that this new movement to reform the the faith wouldn't last.
- England and her upstart American colonies. How just a few minor tweaks in policy could have stopped the colonists from moving down the path towards independence.
- The United States and Viet Nam. We saw the Japanese, we saw the French and we assumed that we could do better in the face of unbelievable odds and put down a popular rebellion.
I bring this up, not only because I really liked the book, but because 20 years after I first read it, I still find myself thinking along the lines of Babs T. Why do people do stupid things in spite of what common sense and basic intelligence would tell them is right. Lets walk through a few examples shall we.
Stupid Arrogance
Ok, 2009 is about 4 weeks old and we already have an idiot of unparalleled stature on the national conscious. A guy so blinded by his own arrogance and self deceit that he can't see that the entire country is laughing at him, not out of fear or parody, but out of absolute contempt and disgust. I'm speaking of that Gandhi-King like former governor of Illinois.
Asswipe bad haired politician aside here's a guy with some really lousy background, who was a crooked politician in office and who was reelected. Re-elected by 11 points.. despite investigations ongoing DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
Stupid Shining People
The economy. Or is it the ECONOMY Stupid? It's everything these days. It's in the news, it's in my balance sheets, it's in my retirement, and now it's impacted my day to day sense of security and well being. I overheard the following discussion this week, which to me explains why we're where we are and what years of Reganomics and good old fashion deregulation have brought us. I set this up for your consideration with thoughts of Enron. If you haven't seen the Smartest Guys in the Room, rent it and see it now.
Greed, shameless greed. Actually Mrs S, who's a hell of a lot wiser than I am, repeatedly states that "shame is what's missing in America today". Lack of Shame is why Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens can sit straight faced and stare down at congressmen and flat out lie through their beady steroid damaged eyes and not for a second understand what it was that people were so pissed off about. It's unfathomable that that you can do something like have yourself injected by family members and "confidants" and not expect that they aren't going to come clean when pressed by the heavy hand of the law. Dude, they aren't going to jail to protect your sorry Hall of Fame ass.
Lack of shame is why a guy as evil as Bernard Madoff could get busted for fraud on such a massive scale, fraud against individuals and against charities, a man who is responsible, according one source, for the single largest destruction of Jewish wealth, thanks to the number of Jewish charities who he solicited investments from, since the Holocaust. Mortie Zuckerman, former director of a large Jewish charity in New York said no one has damaged so damaged the image and self respect of American Jews since Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the Manhattan Project scientists executed in 1951 for passing atomic secrets to the Soviets. And, once busted, his focus is on trying to preserve his wealth by mailing checks to family members, jewelry etc… Shame Bernie SHAME.
Tyco, Global Crossing, Satyam, Keating.. on and on.
The conversation I heard went like this. One side a VP from Citibank, in the Twin Cities, on the other a friends wife. The execs wife make about $250,000 a year at Citi, and receives and annual bonus that is between $50,000 and $70,000 per year. The woman expressed her worries about the economy in the following way. "there's some fear around the office that we aren't going to get our bonuses this year. That, would be a disaster. You can't not pay people for their work, these are very talented people. If we aren't paid our bonuses, I'm not sure how we're going to be able to make ends meet. We could be in trouble." Good news for the woman, once the bailout money found it's way to Citibank.. they were paid their bonuses in full. The rest of us working American's have been told no bonuses this year, no pay increases. Be happy to be working, and for the most part, we are.
Absolute garbage. And we just march along.
Consumers can be stupid too
I've been watching with some interest the ongoing TV ad war between Comcast all the satellite companies out there. Personally I can't understand why anyone would sign up for service where the ad guarantees that in three months, your rates are going to go up. Personally I don't even really understand why there are still cable companies in existence. For 30 years Americans have put up with shitty service; 8 hour service windows, "packages" that force us to pay for 100 channels of absolute garbage programing just to get ESPN, the History Channel and Discovery, and all of this, for the first 20 years of their existence, in complete monopoly. No competition what so ever. And now that they have competition.. competition that beats them at their own game, tradition and fear of thunderstorms keeps us from changing over to better and cheaper service.
Another good example- IPods and the Apple stranglehold on our media consumption. I've been on every available music service on the planet. Rhapsody, Napster, Zune, Yahoo Music when they were around, Lala.com, EMusic.com and finally ITunes. Here's how I rank them. Actually for the sake of this argument, I'm only going to share the worst one on the market, yup you guessed it, ITunes.
ITunes is expensive compared to the other services, by about 10 cents a track in most cases, even more in the case of album purchases.
ITunes does not have a song rental/Music to go feature. They've figured it out with movies, you can rent movies for your device from ITunes, but for music, nada. To completely fill a Zune 8 gig player from the Zune Market place, that would be for 2000 songs, it would cost you $15.00 a month. That's it. That could be for all new music every time you sync the stupid thing, old favorites ANYTHING. Same deal on Napster. Same deal on Rhapsody. True, you don't "own" the music, and if your subscription lapses your music won't play, but is that really a big deal? How often does that Donny Iris album come our? When was the last time you spun up Alan Parsons? If you like something allot buy it.. You get to hear the complete song as many time as you damn well please before you do.
To fill the same sized device on ITunes would cost you $2000.00, or 11 years of Zune subscription.
So you have an IPod, and I gotta tell you, even though the ITunes store sucks, and the ITunes software hangs up incessantly and is a pain in the ass to use, the IPod players, especially the Touch, freakn' reeks coolness. I give. So you have an IPod, why the "f" you buy music for it from Apple completely befuddles me. Really. Lala.com sells 256K bitrate MP3′s for 89cents. MP3 PEOPLE.. no DRM. Albums are even cheaper. Added feature..you entire library is uploaded to LALA so you can listen to anything you own, from any computer on the damn planet… so THERE. Hell, buy from Amazon. They actually put shit on sale, SALE.. like 5 bucks for an album that you're going to pay 10 for on ITUNES.
EMusic.com is perhaps the coolest music site out there. All independent labels, so if you like Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5 and that sort of garbage, you aren't going to find it on emusic. You are going to find some of the finest independent labels in all genres, especially blues, jazz, and rock. AND you can pay as little as 49 cents a track depending on your membership arrangement. People I urge you, don't be stupid with your money or your music. You have choices.
And the ultimate in consumer stupidity.
Folks.. we live in a country with the greatest infrastructure of services on the planet. In almost every place in these United States you have, almost for free, a tap that provides water the quality of which, any person in the Third World would give their right arm to drink. And we, as a people, have been sold the idea that drinking untreated water from some hole in the ground in Wisconsin, or even worse the treated tap water for some other berg, is better than what we have, and we gleefully line up and spend 100X a bottle what it would cost us to drink it from the tap. AND we fill the landfills along the way. My G-d, it's like the Pied Piper himself were leading us as a society of lemmings.
You know, the Yuppies I work with have told me that you can't drink tap water, especially if it comes from a bathroom tap. This is complete BS, the Sank plan to wean you people off your bottles… reuse them. Seriously,. By a bottle, and refill it a few times from the tap. Unless you live in rural Wisconsin, where our cabin is, and the water is coming out of the tap is rust colored and smelling like a rotten egg, well I'm thinking your throwing away your money. Which I'm sorry to report, makes you .. yes.. stupid.
The Great Equalizer
And finally the reason we give up logic and reason and re-elect morons, buy shitty products, worry about our mental health, our sexual prowess and our frequency and flow 24 hours a damn day… The device my wise and down to earth father would call "The Idiot Box". that device that probably on hours a night and all weekend long in your home that serves up what Frank Zappa called "the slime oozing out from your tv set".
The country is broke folks. We've been on a 20 year spending spree. Its like the parents haven't been home in a long time and we've been out partying, and now we're grounded. We're spending $2000 on a TV. We're spending $100 a month on a phone. We're spending $75 a month to watch eight channels out of 200 on our TV. We tell our doctors what we know best about our conditions and ask for drugs we don't understand, and yet most of us can't say NO to our own damn kids. We worry about self esteem and ADD and ADHD, and we watch endless hours of American Idol and Bachelor and reality shows that are so damn tired and pointless that it's insane. Most of us take handfuls of pills for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and every other chronic condition because we're told we're fat (we are) and our 140 over 90 BP is outrageously high. 20 years ago we called that borderline. "Well, we know more now and we're more aggressive about getting you hooked on a legal drug so you can support a pharma company than encouraging you to get off the fucking sofa and taking a walk.
We want to see you at a yuppie health club so you can get your cardio, and your weight training and you can change your name to Bobby Brown and get shiny teeth a six pac ab and a tight ass and look 30 when you're 60.. except for those wrinkles but if we inject you, at a party, with one of the deadliest toxins known to man well, even those can go away, sort of.
I'm thinking I'm going to pass on all that. I'm going to go for a walk, put a backpack on with 20 lbs in it and stroll around the neighborhood a few times a week. Maybe ride my bike to the store instead of driving. I'm gonna turn off my TV and Tivo everything so a) I won't be tempted to ask my doctor for pills to help my sexual prowess when I'm drunk or exhausted or thinking about the 600 people who just lost their jobs at my office and thus occasionally find myself "not in the mood" b) so I can watch my couple of shows on my terms, at my time with no ads.
I'm thinking I'm going to lose my hair, get fat, get ugly(er) and not worry a whole lot about because humans have been doing it that way since we first crawled out of the primal muck and looking like your 30 when your 60 just says "I'm one shallow SOB". Tell you what, I'm going to drink some scotch once in while, I'm gonna drink Miller High Life because I think the ads with the delivery guy seriously represent what's wrong with this country, and you know, I'm gonna sneak in that occasional GASP Winston because a good smoke can be close to a religious experience, and if I'm smoking a dozen cigs a year, I'm probably going to be alright. Once in a while, I'm gonna eat the apple fritter, and more often I'm going to eat oatmeal. It's called MODERATION folks.
I'm not gonna worry about living boring lifestyle of all whole grains, bottled water, organic food and all the other shit that's going to buy me another 6 months or a year of life. I'm pretty sure that last year is going to be in a diaper with drool coming out the side of my mouth, completely unaware of my surroundings, and it's not going to matter one wit. Some folks, 100 years ago, lived to see 100 and some folks today do the same.
I think there's more to luck than we think. ..
That was a bit of rant, even for me. Thanks for listening.

David Viviano was named as one of seven Michigan Supreme Court justices on Wednesday by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. Viviano, 41, of Sterling Heights, must have the appointment affirmed by voters in the 2014 election, and will have to run for an eight-year term in 2016.
Viviano worked at the first location of the family business, Viviano Flower Shop in St. Clair Shores, as a teenager attending De La Salle High School and off an on during college and law school. He worked for his late uncle Frank.
After graduating from Hillsdale College and University of Michigan School of Law, he worked at Dickinson Wright PLLC in Detroit and Jenner & Block LLC in Chicago before starting his own firm in Mount Clemens. He also served as city attorney for Center Line.
An unsuccessful bid for prosecutor in 2004 against Eric Smith didn't deter him. Viviano in 2006 prevailed among a handful of candidates to win a six-year term to the bench of Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
Viviano has been active in various initiatives to improve the court system. In 2008, he was selected by the high court to participate in a pilot project to reform the jury system, and several of those enhancements were adopted and are being used statewide.
Viviano in fall 2011 was elected chief judge by the Supreme Court. During his relatively short stint, he was a strong advocate for technological innovation in the court system. He revamped the e-filing effort as part of the plan to eventually go paperless, created a circuit court technology position, facilitated increased use of courtroom video conferencing and continued the use of electronic dispositions that were started by Smith and under prior chief Judge Mark Switalski.
Viviano continued changes at Macomb Probate Court by moving Probate Judge Kathryn George, one of two Probate jurists, from the courthouse at North Rose and Dunham to the circuit court building downtown. Initially, Viviano assigned George a partial family docket, but effective last week she now will handle a full family docket. Probate Judge Carl Marlinga will handle all probate cases. The court's staff for the two divisions — wills and estates, and mental — have been cross-trained.
He said he is proud of "building a professional staff" through reorganization so that he leaves his post "with a strong central administration."
He moved the deputy court administrator to oversee Probate Court and hired a controller. He filled the vacant circuit court attorney position.
Snyder's selection of Viviano makes him only the third state Supreme Court justice from Macomb County and the first to serve since Neil Reid served from 1944 to 1956. Franz Kuhn served previously. Continued...
Viviano, whose appointment took effect Friday, said he planned to work all weekend to prepare for the court's next session that starts Tuesday.
Viviano and his wife, Neran, have two children, a 2-year-old son, Antonio, and 1-year-old daughter, Giana, and are expecting a third in July.
Viviano said he plans to commute from his Sterling Heights home to Lansing. He said he isn't considering moving.
"This is my home," he said. "I was born here, I was raised here. This is where my roots are, where my friends are."
Twenty-four hours after the historic announcement, Viviano sat down Thursday afternoon with staff writer Jameson Cook for a discussion about his appointment, upbringing, philosophies and career.
Q: What is your reaction to being appointed as a justice to the Michigan Supreme Court?
A: "It's been a tremendous thing to have happen to me and a tremendous honor to be asked to serve by the governor, for me and for my family …
"To hear from friends and family members, and supporters and from people in Macomb County who are so enthusiastic, congratulating me, it was a great day. There was really an outpouring, well-spring of local pride. To be the beneficiary of that is really a great thing.
"It's been a long time. I think it's a great thing for the county. This county is participating in the reinvention of Michigan. We're becoming a more professional place and really elevating our profile around the state and around the world. I'm really proud to be a part of that."
Q: Describe your day? Continued...
A: "It was a great day, a whirlwind of a day. The governor's staff was very professional.
"It was a great thing for me, personally, to see our County Executive Mark Hackel there. To come into the press room and have my family there, to have Mark there, and then to have most of our legislative delegation there, it was very exciting and upbeat. … It really created a lot of positive energy and made me feel at home."
Q: What does this say about Macomb County?
A: "I think it says that we are stepping up to the plate in Macomb County and we have a lot of people here who are willing and want to get involved in public service and want to do our part to move Michigan forward. We are the third largest county in the state. We really needed to step up our game to raise our profile, to start showing the rest of the state and the rest of the country and really the rest of world what we can do. I think that's been happening. It's really an exciting thing to see under the leadership of County Executive Hackel and the whole new charter form of government with our last board and now our new board chairman David Flynn. I think those are things that we're doing. We're really taking our seat at the table. The dialogue that is going on at the state level and the regional level, those to me are very exciting things. To the extent that this helps raise our profile, I'm very grateful for that, very excited about that.
Q: Can you talk about the interview process?
A: "I submitted an application. I interviewed with the governor's legal counsel. I had an interview with the governor himself, but also with the chief of staff, and some other people were involved. I had an interview with the State Bar Judicial Qualifications Committee.
"That interview was on Monday. They wait until the end for that, I think, for PR reasons. It becomes harder to keep quiet who is being considered when you bring in a large group of people (28 voting members). I had a very good interview with that committee. I enjoyed it. I found it very engaging.
"I found the process to be very thorough and found the governor to be personally engaged. I really appreciated that. And I appreciated the way the staff handled the process. It's not easy to go through it as a potential appointee, to think about all the changes that may be coming to your life. I thought they were very professional in the way it was handled."
Q: He's a Republican governor and he chose you, and you're a Republican …
A: "Let me say this, I'm a nonpartisan judge and have been the entire time. I ran as a Republican (for prosecutor) and I've supported Republican causes. It's important to me … to understand that the job of a judge is nonpartisan. There is no policy-making role for judges. Our job is to arrive at decisions on cases that are brought before the court, and do so fairly in each case in interpreting the law and deciding the facts based on the merits of the cases that are presented to us. Continued...
"There's nothing that I've done administratively that has anything to do with partisan politics. I've worked really well with Republican and Democrats who are interested in a more efficient, effective government here in Macomb County and in our court system, in particular, to make some significant changes. It's really been gratifying to do that. I could give you the whole litany: … the county executive and his office; the board chairman and the board members on both sides of the aisle; our legislative delegation; the other county elected officials from across the board, have been very supportive of our efforts that we're undertaking, starting with (Clerk) Carmella Sabaugh, who we've worked very closely with since she's the clerk of the court.
"From that standpoint, I think, if it's properly understood, a lot of that partisanship that people try to inject into this process hopefully starts to fall away."
Q: The comments are that you're a so-called "conservative" justice, and now the court will be 5-2 in favor of the conservatives over the so-called "liberals."
A: "As I've said already, I'm a rule of law judge. What it comes down to is I have a healthy respect and understanding of the constitutional form of government that our Founders created. Part of their genius was putting in a lot of checks and balances so that government wouldn't grow so powerful that it would overtake the citizens and our individual liberty. One of those is the separation of powers. We have a Legislature that makes the law, we have an executive that enforces the law and we have a court that applies the law. If the court goes beyond its constitutional role, then we end up taking from the people their right to have their elected representatives shape policy in the state. So our job is to take the work product of the Legislature and the policy-making branches of government and to fairly apply those laws to the cases that are brought before the court."
Q: You'll have to run for election next year, and for re-election in 2016. You don't have a statewide name. Are you concerned about having to conduct a campaign relatively soon.
A: "Let me say a couple of things. I just ran unopposed for my six-year term on the bench. And I've decided to accept an appointment to the Supreme Court knowing I would have to run in two statewide elections. I wouldn't have done that if I didn't think we would be competitive and strong at the state level. We have a strong base of support coming out of Macomb County and really coming out of metro Detroit. I look forward to campaigning around the state, getting to be known all around the state.
"In terms of whether your name is a statewide name or not, I would say that you build a name and reputation. You start with a base. You have a very strong base. And I'm very comfortable going from there, going across the state. My plan is to go to all 83 counties to campaign and get to know folks all around this great state. I am very much looking forward to that. It's a lot of work. It's a big challenge. It's a new challenge for me and my family. It took us a little while to make sure this is something we wanted to do, my wife and young children at home, and my extended family. But we are really enthusiastic about the opportunity and challenge, and are very confident, frankly, about our prospects,
Q: Gov. Snyder emphasized your innovative administrative efforts, especially in technology. He obviously also believes you possess the necessary legal skills.
A: "I think that's very true. My background and quality of work and way that I've conducted myself, I think were important to the governor — the reputation that I have, and really that my family has, in Macomb County.
"But also he was very interested and engaged in the discussion we had about court innovations. I think he has been very active at the state level, working with the Supreme Court to make the court system more efficient, including the big step they took to eliminate judgeships that are not needed around the state. But also with technology. He has a very strong interest in technology and bringing that to bear. So we were able to have a very good discussion about that. I think also jury reform, the opportunity I had to be involved in that was important as well. It shows that I'm interested in getting involved in projects to improve the court system.
Q: A Supreme Court justice isn't just looking at cases. There's administrative duties that people probably don't realize that the Supreme Court does, right?
A: "The Supreme Court is responsible for the administration of all the state court. So yes, there is a fair amount. They have an administrative arm, the State Court Administrative Office … where they carry out that responsibility.
"I will tell you … I have really mixed feelings about leaving Macomb County and leaving what I've been doing here and the people here. I'm excited about what we're doing. I just had a big meeting for the transition we've been doing, sort of a walk down memory lane. And I told the governor I feel like I've launched 1,000 ships and would really like to see where some of those ships land. The one thing, as I said yesterday, that gives me some solace is the notion that I will be able use some of that experience in the trenches, trying to reform the court system at the trial court level, working at the Supreme Court level to get do those things statewide. That's one of the things I find appealing, to continue that work, to take it to the state level."
Q: You — as well as your six siblings and many cousins -- as a teenager and young man worked at Viviano Flower Shop, started by your grandparents and then operated by your late uncle, Frank. What lessons did you learn there and have they helped you in your legal career?
A: "I learned how to work hard, how to treat people with respect. I learned how to be customer-service oriented. I learned how to be humble and to understand that work needs to be done and how to do it; you take pride in simple things. I learned a lot. I learned how to take responsibility at a young age. I learned how to think for myself.
"My uncle taught us as young teenagers to always be thinking and analyzing and trying to come up with better ways to do things. One of the ways he did that was whoever had the best idea was the way we did something, no pride of authorship. He always encouraged us to be thinking and coming up with better ways.
"We all really benefitted from that experience. I can't tell you how many different ways, not to mention having close family relationships because you're working with a lot family members.
"It helped me learn the geography of Macomb County — I've been in every church, banquet hall and funeral home and hospital in Macomb County. I think I've been on every street in Macomb County delivering flowers."
Q: Is that where you administrative skills come from?
A: "I think so. When you're involved in a family business …, you get involved in all facets of the business. When I was in high school, I was in charge of the wedding delivery department. So we would send out sometimes 30 to 40 different weddings to be serviced and delivered. You'd have to coordinate all the logistics of that. This was before the Internet, before mapquest and all those kinds of things. You'd have your staff come in and do those things. So, yeah, absolutely you learn about administration and watched as technology changed, and they changed, and the way that business operated and the way they took orders and tracked their orders. They put all that on the computer and had software programs written for them.
"I think about that now when I look at the way we do business here. I look at why aren't we doing things here the way they do it in private business."
Q: Your father, Antonio, "Tony," is a former assistant prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, and has been a judge for 20 years. What influence did your father have on choosing a legal career?
A: "Growing up in a legal family and in a legal community, it was very close-knit at that time. The families of the lawyers were very close. The Bar Association was a close group. The lawyers' wives were a close group of people and did a lot of activities together. We grew up in that environment where not only my father, but a lot of my friends' fathers were lawyers. To see how they interacted, to see the work that they were doing definitely had an impact on me, and I think as early as my high school years it become my goal to become an attorney. To watch people that I had admired, starting with my father, but others, too, the way they conducted themselves, a lot of the judges here. You start to form your impressions and your goals and your ideas about the appropriate way to function and conduct yourself as an attorney and do the important work that attorneys do, representing their clients.
Q: Did you plan in high school to become a judge?
A: "I was pretty focused on getting through high school. We were raised to believe that lawyers are public servants even though they're not elected. They have a very important job to do as an officer of the court in helping your clients go through very difficult time periods, whether it's a criminal case or a civil case of a family law situation. From my own time and practice, I can tell you it's a tremendous opportunity to help people and form strong relationships with people because you've helped them through such difficult times. I've seen people come back to my father 10 or 15 or 20 or now 30 years later, and tell him what his help meant to them in their life through a particularly difficult period time, and how without it they couldn't have gotten to where they got to. To him, I think that's the most rewarding thing he has in his career. As a judge it's the same. When he was in juvenile court (as a judge), he was able to have that impact on a lot of young people.
"It's a little different when you're up here with serious felony cases in the criminal court. Although my probation agent will tell you we have a lot of cases with young people who found themselves in difficult positions, they have made a bad decision or a series of bad decisions. I view the court process as a rehabilitative process. If you can try to help a young person overcome an addiction to drugs, for example, and get back on the right track, I think it's a great thing. Not just helping another human being but helping our community and helping society as a whole."
Q: You're relatively young. Some legal observers may believe you're too inexperienced for the Supreme Court.
A: "I've been a lawyer for almost 17 years. I've had a wonderful opportunity in my career to work in a lot of different subsidiaries of the law, in a lot of different places, at a lot of different levels. The time I've had has been really quite useful, the time I've had as a lawyer. I worked for two big law firms with some of the best lawyers in the whole country, and really got good, rigorous training in the law, and how to research and analyze legal issues and how to communicate those issues effectively and how to advocate for your client, across a whole host of different substantive law areas, both criminal and civil. It was great preparation for me to take the bench being a circuit judge. The great thing about it, and the big challenge about it, is you deal with all these substantive law areas. A lot of people come to this job with a background in only one area, and then they have to go about the business of learning. That's what I think helped me. And then to be here as a judge and have the honor of serving my entire first term, six years, and develop those skills and learn to understand the role of a judge in our court system, has been really terrific — and then to build on that with 14 months as chief judge and run the administration of the court. It's been compact. There's really been a lot that's been packed in there as far as experience that I think will really serve me well."
Q: Are you familiar with Chief Justice Robert Young?
A: "Yeah, I would say I'm friends with a number of the justices on the court, a number of judges on the Court of Appeals, and a lot of judges across the state of Michigan. … I have high regard for him (Young) and the way he has conducted the court system at the Supreme Court level and the leadership he has shown. Administratively, I've been dealing with him as a chief judge."

Secret weapon: Kelsey Rosselli finishing Woods career with a bang
At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, reporting game results to the Tribune-Star after a win or a loss is not always a high priority.
So when one of its athletes enjoys an outstanding season, like senior Kelsey Rosselli is doing for the Pomeroys' softball team in 2013, media publicity doesn't always follow.
In fact, her efforts almost seem like a government secret.
Rosselli's name might sound familiar to longtime Terre Haute softball followers because she was a standout for North High School, from where she graduated in 2009.
Since then, she's helped The Woods finish runner-up in three straight U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national tournaments in 2010, 2011 and 2012. -

Phill Grove will be hosting The Big Live Event in Dallas, Texas, this weekend. Phill Grove will detail how he has been able to participate in more than 1,200 real estate transactions totaling more than $200 Million since 2004 and how anyone can do it as well.
(PRWEB) February 08, 2013
Phill Grove, national speaker, real estate investor, coach & mentor, and the creator of the 'All In One Done For You Real Estate' program is hosting a 2 day real estate training in Dallas, TX, from February 9-10, 2013. For more information, please visit http://www.reimaverick.com/big-live-event-tour/.
People call this the top rated real estate investing event in North America because of the content that Phill Grove teaches. Mr. Grove has participated in more than 1,200 real estate transactions totaling more than $200,000,000 while still holding onto more than $5,000,000 worth of real estate of his own.
Given the recent upturn in the market, more real estate investors are excited to learn more and get started in this industry.
"Life isn't just about having a good idea, it's about the spark, the motive that forces you to take action," says Mr. Grove. "Unfortunately, most investors fail because they don't take action. Everyone wants to be a real estate millionaire. The vast vast majority of people that want this are not successful because they don't take the necessary action. My presentation is designed to show you how to take those steps!"
Here are some of the following things that Mr. Grove will teach at the Big Live Event this weekend in Dallas, Texas:
> 12 Unique Strategies to make money Investing in Real Estate
-Including: swaps, mortgage assignments, flips, wholesaling, wraps, auctions, options, short sales, and 4 more…
> 25 Ways to brand yourself to get deals to find you.
> 75 Questions To Ask A Seller To Get Them To Sell to you
> 9 Tested/Proven Scripts – The Exact Words To Say (and When) to Close any deal.
> 21 Ways to analyze any deal To Make Sure its profitable.
> 15 Ways to finance any deal Using other people's money
> and much more!
"These sessions will captivate you, and put your mind "in the zone" leaving you a different person than when you arrived," continues Mr. Grove. "And, that's necessary, because if you want different results, you have to change yourself! You will be surprised and delighted by how much you learn."

The North Surry swim team hosted the West Stokes Wildcats Monday night at the Reeves Community Center, and though the Greyhounds lost, North Surry Head Coach Ashley Taylor said she was pleased overall with Hounds' personal best efforts.
Taylor said the majority of the team swam a personal best on at least one event and that is doing good.
The meet was packed with spectators and parents. There was encouragement and shouts coming from both Hounds and Wildcats teammates. Oftentimes, the applause was deafening.
"The Greyhound team has personality," said Taylor, and though it is several on the team's first year as swimmers, they are competitive, encourage one another and put on a show, Taylor said.
"Courtney Wiles cut nine seconds off her time in the 200 freestyle," said Taylor.
"She is full of surprises for me and once she gets on a roll, she gets into it and keeps going," Taylor said.
Taylor said she enjoys the experience of watching Wiles' face light up.
"To watch swimmers on the team cut off that kind of time, like Wiles did tonight, makes me feel good as a coach," said Taylor.
"I know that she is listening and will show that much dedication and passion to keep going."
West Stokes boys won Monday with a score of 104 and North Surry scored 54. North Surry's Payden Simmons did the 50 freestyle and got a regional automatic time in the 100 breast stoke. He got a 1:15.26 surpassing the regional time required of 1:16.99, said Taylor.
Taylor said, "Last year I worked with him (Simmons), and at the last meet he cut an immense amount of time to make the regionals.
"He is a hard worker," the coach said.
Cody Key placed second in the 100 yard freestyle and got a personal best as well.
Taylor said Key shows "extreme dedication to make his goals."
Key spoke about his growing love of swimming since starting it this year and talked about the importance of competing against himself. However, Key said when he is competing individually he knows that he is making points for the team. "I love to compete and make points for the team."
Key is also a football player and a former wrestler. He said he chose swimming this year because of a shoulder injury that he suffered during wrestling. Instead of not doing any sport, Key said he wanted to choose something in which he could make points for the team and he did that last night and wants to keep getting better.
West Stokes girls scored 112 points over North's 44. Taylor said she is still watching the team to get a picture of different swimmers because many are new to swimming, she said.
North Surry's Taylor Hill cut off about three seconds on 50 freestyle, said Taylor.
"Swimming is more of a personal sport, I always try to encourage them to beat themselves and if they cut time on at least one event that is a good night. The majority tonight cut time on at least on one event," said Taylor.
West Stokes' Sam Elter won the boys backstroke event for West Stokes.
Taylor said, "Their relays were very good."
Wildcats' Emma Shelton took first place in the girls 50 free, said Taylor.
The next North Surry swim meet is against East Surry and will be at the Armfield Civic Center on Dec. 11.
