SERVING THE PEOPLE OF HUNTLEY SINCE 1960 CI)t fluntlep jfarmsiibE ^WS 580-360 THURSDAY MAY 2, 1996 - VOLUME 36, NUMBER 4 - HUNTLEY, ILLINOIS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS Hobo's Get A Job!? By Kim Skaja On Saturday, May 4, there will be a traditional dinner show featuring Hobo Stew. It will be at 6pm. A second show has been added, Sunday, May 5 at 2pm. During the Sunday show, only dessert will be served. An evening filled wilh music, laughter, corny jokes and good old fashioned fun is promised for those attending the First Congregational Church's 31st almost annual Hobo Show. The Hobo Show traditionally started as the brain child of the youth fellowship of 1964. The entire cast was comprised of high school students. Chuck Rulh, one of the early hobos, remembers those early years fondly. The stage was a small affair, maybe 10' x 10', and though some of the acts may have been a little rough, the kids were enthusiastic and everyone had fun. As Chuck remembers it, the menu has remained pretty much unchanged through the years, with Hobo Slew being the main alU"aclion. At some point in that hazy distant past, the choir members took charge of the Hobo Show, and it became a more professional production. Monies raised from those productions funded the purchase of handbells. Those bells have become a beaudful part of the church's music and well appreciated by all of the congregation. The Hobo Show became a tradition that far exceeded the confines of the church. In fact, it was so popular that several performances had to be held to accommodate its many fans. Sadly, in 1995, the show was canceled due to many unforeseen events. As 1996 dawned, it again looked like there would be no Hobo Show. Members of the church's current youth group, Krista Jurs, Loran Lilly, Eric and Emily Ruth were so concemed by this turn of events that they decided lo do something about it. Thus was bom the 31st almost annual Hobo Show. This year's production has come full circle, like the first show, the current cast will be entirely comprised of youth. Cast members ages range from 7 to 17. The driving force behind the production is eighth grade student, Krista Jurs. Adult musical directors are Paul Ahrendt, Tim Wills and Tracey Schwartz. The kitchen crew will be led by Jan Hoeft and Helen Ruth. Tickets and programs were produced through the efforts of Trudy Jurs and Lynette Mobley with Kim Skaja taking charge of publicity. The students and many adults have worked hard to ensure the success of this year's show. Hobos Get A Job!? Tickets are available at the Church office. Kyle Williams, Tim Hoeft and Eric Ruth are shown rehearsing for one of the numbers in the Hobo Show to be held at the Congregational Church May 4 and 5.

Alert message mistakenly tells parents their child wasn't in school: Error corrected shortly afterward
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
ROCHESTER — Tuesday morning, a large number of Rochester Middle School parents received false Honeywell Instant Alert notifications stating their children were not in school.
Moriarty did not point to a specific figure for the number of parents who received calls. The Lilac City middle school has approximately 1,000 students enrolled. |

The white/grey CW is first released.. Which will probably be followed by the black/red then a different colorway will release after that. It's going to be just like the first release or were you not around for that?

Kings deserve Super Rugby
7 Mar 2012
MARK KEOHANE, writing in Business Day Sport Monthly, says the Eastern Cape franchise doesn't need to justify its place in next year's competition.
It never ceases to amaze me how often the South African Rugby Union gets it wrong. What should have been a monumental announcement – that the Kings would play in Super Rugby from 2013 – turned into a debate of uncertainty as to whether or not South Africa would lose a franchise or convince New Zealand and Australia to accommodate a sixth South African team.
The wizards at Saru once again want it both ways.
The Kings deserve to be in Super Rugby, purely by virtue of promises made to the South African government when bidding to host the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups. This time there was no escape, but instead of fronting the situation and making a decision on who falls out, the clever guys went cap in hand to Australia and New Zealand pleading for the expansion of the tournament.
The layman argument that the Kings don't deserve to be in the competition is flawed on so many levels, as well as being an incredibly ignorant view.
The Kings are as deserving as any team and the rugby public forgets that the Lions and Cheetahs hardly won for 10 years and when the two sides combined as the Cats the results were as diabolical. The Kings can't be a greater embarrassment than the 17 successive Lions defeats, as just one statistic.
The rugby argument aside, the decision to accommodate the region is an ethical one because a promise was made.
To recap for those suffering amnesia, Saru only stood a chance of hosting the 2011 World Cup if the government gave a financial guarantee and an endorsement. It was at a time when the sports ministry was fed up with the lack of transformation and continued neglect of rugby in the Eastern Cape.
Saru's representatives promised a new beginning for the region and invested nearly R12-million in forming the Southern Spears, arranging friendly matches and promoting the region's entry into Super Rugby in 2011. Then South Africa botched the bid, New Zealand struck a deal with Ireland and the rugby authorities backtracked on their enthusiasm for the region.
There was apparently too much division between Border, Eastern Province and South Western Districts. There was misadministration, claims of corruption and the convenient decision was that there was no way Saru could invest further in an Eastern Cape Super Rugby region. Saru then paid nearly R10-million to close down the region.
Very little happened between World Cup bids and when word was that South Africa was a guarantee to host 2015, again the emotional carrot of the Eastern Cape was dangled. Again it fell flat when South Africa cocked up in Dublin.
Only this time things were changing in the Eastern Cape. Cheeky Watson had been elected president and he declared that they would get their house in order and would be competitive in 2013.
He signed former Stormers and Ulster coach Alan Solomons and EP went from being the bunny boys to Currie Cup First Division champions in 2010 and runners-up in 2011. Support for the promotion-relegation match exceeded 40 000 and there were very good crowds for pre-season friendlies against the existing Super Rugby franchises.
The Kings, playing without a team sponsor, hammered the Bulls in a 2011 warm-up but the win was dismissed as the Bulls fielded an inexperienced side. Either way the Kings would be damned.
But in Watson and Solomons they have two rugby men who won't give up and are prepared to put in the hours. The Kings became competitive with a limited squad because without Saru confirming their entry into the competition in 2013 it was impossible to attract top players.
The aim, with moderate talent, was to get the interest and the public responded. When EP hosted a Springbok Test against the All Blacks in 2011 the match was a sellout.
The region is ready to play and those who use the team's performances in the First Division as a yardstick miss the point that the bulk of the 2013 squad will be imported from other regions and overseas. Transformation will be a big part of the Kings, but what will make them a success story is if they win and not how many black players start each match.
Solomons initiated a campaign of keeping the players home and bringing them home, given there were more than 40 players born and schooled in the Eastern Cape playing elsewhere.
The argument that the Kings had to earn the right through the Currie Cup has no merit. The need to have the Eastern Cape as a stronghold and growth point in South African rugby takes priority.
It was a similar situation to when the Natal Rugby Union couldn't win a place in the six-team Currie Cup A division in the amateur era. A compromise between Natal and the national governing body was to expand the Currie Cup to eight teams and accommodate the Banana Boys, as they were then called.
Critics of the Kings' entry have short memories. Natal built and bought a potent team and within a decade became the leading province in South Africa. With the right people, finance and commitment anything is possible.
Saru should have announced officially two years ago that the Kings would play in 2013, but they held back in the hope of an expanded competition. In the end Sanzar forced a decision out of them.
The Kings are there and that should not be a debate. A promise has finally been honoured and the embarrassment is in how long it took Saru's administration to confirm it all … not in what the Kings will produce in the competition.

7 Mar 2012, 17:16 pm@Atreides(Atreides)-199: too early to tell but they have keen youngsters
7 Mar 2012, 18:41 pmKeo offers nothing as constructive reasoning in this debate other than a political promise – the rest is a whole shitload of waffle.
The biggest disservice you can do to a region (mostly made up of the PDI) is to 'give' them something for no other reason than the colour of their skin. It is insulting. I would dare anyone to go to a club where you will find a large majority of coloured or black rugby players and ask them what they want, or how they want to get it.
They are rugby players, not ******* politicians – and thank god they are getting tired of being used as political pawns.
If you want to serve this region and its rugby community, give them the tools to build something to be proud of. Invest in them. Don't play political games with them.
If this means that all current Super Franchises commits to giving the Kings franchise X% of their SupeRugby Murdoch pie in addition to Currie Cup proper entrenchment to get sponsors on-board, then so be it. Because money is obviously the big issue here.
But for fucksake for once do something right.
7 Mar 2012, 19:01 pmRight.
I'm back.
7 Mar 2012, 19:28 pmThe Kings won't be 'transformed' at all. The Bulls will field more Black players than them.
7 Mar 2012, 19:50 pmKeo is talking through his stofpoepertjie *** as usual, and making it up as he goes along or distorting the facts as it suits him
Firstly Natal played in the 1985 Currie Cup final agains a very strong WP side, they got there by beating Free State in a one off game between the no 2 Currie Cup A vs no 1 in the B division,
I think Craig Jamieson was their captain at that time
They proved that they belonged in the Currie Cup A division
Northern Transvaal had a hard time adapting to professional rugby, they had no money as they've funded their new Northern(?) stand by selling suites (losies) and season tickets ahead for a couple of years so they didn't have the cash flow to pay salaries to players when the game turned pro
They and the Blue Bulls were bottom dwellers for a few years although they did win the 1998 CC, I think they even had to play relegation matches against the top Currie Cup second division teams
When Heyneke became the coach in 2000 he, Schwartz and the MD at the time (I can't remember his name) started contracting U20 players as it was all they could afford
Yet, they won the 2001 Vodacom Cup and the 2002 Currie Cup and a lot more after that
If the Kings were so deserving they would have won something by now
If they have some many players at there disposal (200 000 is the number always bandied about on Keo) why did Daddy contract Luke at 3 million a year?
Surely he could buit a good team with all that depth?
The rugby public would be a lot more sympathetic to their Super Rugby inclusion as well if they're giving the opportunity to players who wouldn't get it otherwise, istead of stuffing Luke's pockets
If the Bulls could win the Currie Cup in 2001 with unknown youngsters surely the deserving Kings should be able to win the Currie Cup B division at least?
7 Mar 2012, 20:46 pm@victoriabok(victoriabok)-207: you count vodacom cups & alles & then u say if the kings were worth anything they would've won something by now…the EP Kings won the First Div currie cup in 2010, they were runners up last year.
7 Mar 2012, 20:50 pm@victoriabok(victoriabok)-207: tacitus says luke's salary is R3 million and everyone follows him like sheep. when i asked him to prove of reveal his source he weasel-ed out.
so where did you VB get that luke is paid such an amount?
7 Mar 2012, 21:12 pmLuke walks on water.. he's next to God down in tinsel town bay.. go ahead ask Marky parky he'll confirm it as gospel truth…
7 Mar 2012, 21:22 pm@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-196: I see you looking for some excitement in your life.. Has the poodle pimping lost its spark
@Atreides(Atreides)-197: I don't mind the banter.. but the fk is stalking my daughter and that makes it dangerous… I hire people to sort out that kind of problem.. we are close to finding him
7 Mar 2012, 21:22 pmWell Puke's dad & friends got him to play for the Boks once, now they need to get the King Puke's in the S16….so who will support these guys, I really feel sorry for them but guess they was promised big things to come.
7 Mar 2012, 21:34 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-208:
Exactly, they should have played their way into the Currie Cup, they couldn't even win their relegation matches
Natal did even better, they proved it by beating the no 2 in the Currie Cup, not losing against the last team in the CC
Although they were a weak side at the time, the Blue Bulls still won their relegation matches to stay in the CC
7 Mar 2012, 21:39 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-209:
I've read it on Keo, I think PA mentioned it
If you claim it's wrong please do tell what he really earns?
7 Mar 2012, 22:07 pm@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-210:
Nope it's not about Luke
> If this means that all current Super Franchises commits to giving the Kings franchise X% of their SupeRugby Murdoch pie in addition to Currie Cup proper entrenchment to get sponsors on-board, then so be it.
> Because money is obviously the big issue here.
It's more about the Loot than the Luke
Like all his struggle buddies Cheeky wants to cash in big time
Wonder how big Keo's cut's going to be?
Maybe he can buy himself another pink tie and hang himself for all his disservice to SA rugby?
7 Mar 2012, 22:24 pm@victoriabok(victoriabok)-213: mate, the currie cup is no yardstick of how a franchise will do in super rugby in the same way the ITM Cup is not used to determine who is part of what franchise and who is not!
this whole they must prove themselves nonsense is convivient obfuscation. in 2005 when the 5th franchise was made available the lions & cheetahs split and they were HANDED franchises and it was agreed that whoever finishes last in 2006 will be relegated like the Stormers were previously all those years back, in 2006 the lions finished last now tell me WHY they were not relegated?
just tell me why?
7 Mar 2012, 22:38 pm@victoriabok(victoriabok)-215: man grow up. the idea of a franchise in this region is not cheekys idea how long must i say this?
the CEO of the Kings is Stefan Pretorius not Cheeky Watson.
are the likes of kevin de klerk, tobie titus or graham mackenzie also "cashing in"?
7 Mar 2012, 22:50 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-216:
> the currie cup is no yardstick of how a franchise will do in super rugby
I know, look how the Bulls won the Currie Cup from 2002-2004 and shared it 2006 yet could only win it in 2007, although they did play two away Super semi finals as well
However, if your team is good enough to perform at Currie Cup level you will have some players good enough to make the step up to Super Rugby, you'll probably have some Boks in your squad as well
You'll have the player depth in most positions too
> in the same way the ITM Cup is not used to determine who is part of what franchise and who is not!
If you're honest most of the SA franchises use 99% of the parent union's own contracted players and only the Cheetahs use a lot of Griqua's players.
And if they do "borrow" a good player, he'll be one of their contracted players come the next season
You must also tell us what do you think the Kings are planning to achieve in the Super tournament?
Are they there just to be there, or do they really think they will manage to get to a semi in the next ten years?
7 Mar 2012, 23:14 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-216:
> this whole they must prove themselves nonsense is convivient obfuscation.
No it's not, when it was the Super 10 the teams that finished 1-2-3 in the Currie Cup the previous year played the Super 10 the next.
When it became the Super 12 they added a fourth and when the SA teams formed conferences it stayed that way
> in 2005 when the 5th franchise was made available the lions & cheetahs split and they were HANDED franchises and it was agreed that whoever finishes last in 2006 will be relegated like the Stormers were previously all those years back, in 2006 the lions finished last now tell me WHY they were not relegated?
> just tell me why?I can't tell you why but I have a good idea, who else would have had the money and players to compete?
The crooks running it at that time was too busy carrying off all its money and assets
7 Mar 2012, 23:47 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-217:
> man grow up.
Rather rich from someone thinking a team should be entitled to play in a premier competition just because they claim there's lots of players around or because the ruling party wants it
> the idea of a franchise in this region is not cheekys idea how long must i say this?
Fact is how many Currie Cups or any other trophies has EP ever won?
Compare that against Transvaal/Lions and Free State/Cheetahs?
> the CEO of the Kings is Stefan Pretorius not Cheeky Watson.
Like Putin he's the power (and the face) behind the throne, although not "officialy" in charge
> are the likes of kevin de klerk, tobie titus or graham mackenzie also "cashing in"?
Maybe, maybe not but in the end it depends how succesful your team is on the pitch, the Stormers have been in a semi and a final the last two years and the Lions albeit bankrupt, have won the CC due to Kevin getting the right coach etc
What real PROGRESS have the Kings made on the pitch?
They couldn't even win the CC B division, do you really think they'll have the players to beat the Super 15 teams or to even just to last the whole tournament?
You should see how sports work in NA, if your city doesn't have the facilities or the money and will to improve it you lose your team.
No Cheeky, comrade or any amount of race card playing would help if it's not economically feasible
Seattle lost their hockey team and the SuperSonics and they're trying hard to get two teams back by building a $500 mil stadium
Winnipeg lost their NHL team because their ring was to small. They built a new one and got a team back on the premise that they have to play in front of a packed house. They sold all their season tickets in 17 minutes. Google the "Winnipeg Jets"
7 Mar 2012, 23:48 pmthe title has been jumbled
'Does SuperRugby deserve the Kings ?'
and we ALL know the answer to that.
8 Mar 2012, 00:11 am@Love the taste of Bok Prick in my mouth-221:
> 'Does SuperRugby deserve the Kings ?'and we ALL know the answer to that.
Even a broken watch is right twice a day
For once I agree with you, if you take the reserves of the bottom dwellers of each of the conferences last year and cobble together a team, they would most likely beat the Kings
8 Mar 2012, 06:02 am@I want to Prick-Boks in their South! (I want to Prick-Boks in their South!)-221:
well we ALL know the nature of your obsession with south african rugby players, pigeons holes and little yapping dogs…
you have all the intelligence and originality of a noddy-dog on the back windowsill of 1960s volvo car…
made this comment at #29 already…
no wonder you spend all day yap-yapping… like a bored dog at the garden gate watching the world go by, you yap to fill the vacuous silence in your head… you don't even know why… much like the noddy-dog has no control of its movements… that's what its role is and it just does it…
no thought required…
11 Mar 2012, 04:22 amThe so-called "Kings" are as comprehensively awful as their serial loser so-called "coach" Alan Solomons and… well, what can we say about Cheeky's boy that hasn't already been said?
11 Mar 2012, 04:48 amPromotion / Relegation.
Argument over. No more Kings.

Lawyers representing International Internet Technologies (IIT), LLC in the recent sweepstakes court case in Davidson County are planning to appeal dismissal of the lawsuit.
Richmond County District Attorney Reece Saunders received a letter Tuesday from Grace, Tisdale and Clifton, P.A., a firm that specializes in criminal defense and civil litigation.
The attorneys represent IIT, a software company based out of Oklahoma that designs video sweepstakes software.
The company has been in the spotlight recently due to a temporary restraining order granted by Superior Court Judge Robert Johnson in Davidson County.
The temporary restraining order, which was requested by IIT and a sweepstakes business, enjoined law enforcement from closing down sweepstakes businesses who have sweepstakes software made by IIT.
The state Attorney General's office answered the order by filing a motion to dismiss the entire case based on a "lack of subject matter jurisdiction because all issues in this case have been decided … ," the motion said in part.
On Monday, Johnson dismissed the case completely and the attorneys representing IIT left the courtroom without commenting.
On Tuesday, the attorneys sent a letter to Saunders explaining their intention to appeal the dismissal.
The letter said:
"As is our custom, we want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on the latest court proceedings in the above-referenced matter.
"We appeared yesterday before the Honorable Robert Johnson of Alamance County, sitting in Davidson County. The purpose of the hearing was to determine if the Temporary Restraining Order previously entered would become a Permanent Injunction. The ultimate purpose of the Declaratory Judgment Complaint was to have the Court determine whether or not our 'current' system violates G.S. 14-306.4. This request for an injunction was an ancillary issue to protect operators from enforcement until that question was decided.
"Instead of allowing the Court to make that determination, the Attorney General made a Motion to Dismiss on a procedural point. The Court granted (we feel erroneously) the Motion and dismissed our action. The Court's reasoning was that the Plaintiffs were seeking an advisory opinion and that this matter was not right for action under the Declaratory Judgment Act. We strongly disagree and will appeal the decision as soon as the Order is signed.
"In the meantime, our client continues to operate systems devoid of any fun and entertaining games in the entry or reveal process. We continue to believe that the system does not violate G.S. 14-306.4 or Supreme Court decision in Hest.
"We remain available and willing to meet with you to demonstrate their system for you. If you have any questions or would like for us to demonstrate the system, please do no hesitate to contact us. Until then, we are
Michael Grace, Christopher Clifton," said the letter.
Jennifer Canada, assistant public information officer for the N.C. Department of Justice, said that the N.C. DOJ knows of no current challenges to the law, "and the strong state Supreme Court ruling remains in effect."
"Our advice to law enforcement about enforcement of the law remains the same: that they investigate video sweepstakes operations in their area to determine what games are being played, consult with their local District Attorney, and then take any enforcement action they think necessary against violators. They are welcome to consult with our office as well," she said.
Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the North Carolina Sheriff's Association Inc., Eddie Caldwell Jr., said that while the attorneys are appealing the case, the law will still be in effect.
"There is no court order prohibiting any law enforcement agency from enforcing the law," he said.
Caldwell said the appeal could take nine to 12 months to reach the Court of Appeals.
"The law is fully enforceable," Caldwell said.

Hopefully this thread won't get the same rubbish attitude that that 'Of Mice And Men' thread did more than 6 months back.
I haven't had enough time for any serious projects so I've been content shoveling out more usual road and update videos. I'm now using Linux of course (Cinelerra's my editor) since Pinnacle Studio started acting weird with transitions and such. Much better video quality since the switchover I've noticed, and recently I discovered the 25fps progressive feature on the HV40 so I've started utilizing that (my last interlaced video turned out awful). Does seem to mean more dropouts on the tape though. Speaking of tape, Panasonic's primary consumer offering does seem to be holding up well for my needs, I bought a 10-pack in November and I'm onto my 6th of that one now. Don't do many takes or videos for that matter so I go through cassettes pretty slowly. When I finally runout I might try out some Fuji's.
You can check out my YT channel here, but not all of those are brand new videos (I have had a real go facelifting my old standard definition videos as my tech is upgraded). So here's a small selection of my latest HV40 videos, starting with the newest.

Fairfield County's Art Works program under the direction of Jullianne Neal, arts coordinator for School District 4 and Dr. Janet Mason recently hosted a guest artist in residence, Joy Lynn Matthews-Jacobs.
The program, in its 16th year, enables students from low income families to have a summer enrichment experience.
Mason said the arts program is essential because 90 percent of the students receive free or reduced lunch.
Dr. Janet Mason pointed out that for children in that socioeconomic status if the school does not provide ballet, voice lessons or piano lessons, who will?
Mason described the camp as a fun, intense, three week training in dance, drama, voice and music, and visual art.
The three weeks conclude with a performance where students show off their new skills.
This year that performance will be June 28 at the Fairfield Central High School auditorium, but the time is still being determined.
Art Works Camp has this week off, but it will resume Monday.
The event is a low cost summer activity, with a small fee going towards t-shirts.
Around 90 percent of students take advantage of free transportation which is provided by area school buses.
Camp lasts Monday-Friday each week from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and students are served two meals each day.
The Art Works program supports the State Education Department's Gifted and Talented Program.
This year around 65 third, fourth and fifth graders attended, though in years past the camp has served as many as 100 children.
Students were chosen after auditions at elementary schools. The auditions helps event directors find children with talents in drama, voice, music, visual art and dance.
As part of the dance instruction, Mason's daughter, Matthews-Jacobs, a dancer in Broadway performances, came to Fairfield County to teach choreography to the students.
Though not a native of Fairfield County, Matthews-Jacobs has spent several weeks over the years as artist in residence in Winnsboro.
"I love the children here," she said. "They make me laugh and are more interesting to observe and talk to than adults." Matthews-Jacobs draws upon her experiences dancing, singing and acting on Broadway.
A resident of New Jersey, she believes in challenging the young people so that they can rise to the occasion and receive the maximum benefit from the camp.
She will often preface her teaching by questioning the children as to whether something is too hard for them.
They then set out to prove her wrong, a technique that she said has led to remarkable camps in Winnsboro.
Perhaps they will discover another diamond in the rough Broadway talent right here among this age group.
For Matthews-Jacobs, she first displayed talent in the fifth grade when all students were required to sing "My Country Tis of Thee" each morning.
The children heard Matthews-Jacob's voice which sounded like someone in an opera and each morning they would stop singing to just listen to her.
At that time, her parents enrolled their daughter in voice lessons though she resisted at first, saying she wanted to be a horse trainer instead.
Eventually the vocal talent won out with Matthews-Jacobs attending Cal State in Long Beach and studying vocal performance.
Following college she paid her dues by singing as a guest artist on a cruise line. After several years doing that work, she finally got the courage to go to New York and audition.
During her first ever Broadway audition, she made the cut. She has performed in "Marie Christine," "The Music Man," and in the first national tours for "Ragtime" and "Showboat."
Matthews-Jacobs also travels the country, singing with 60 to 70 piece orchestras.
She is thankful for the opportunity to help children in the district where her mother still serves to pursue their dreams and to help strengthen the arts in Fairfield County.

Second sight
This month's Virginia Dare MS 150 bike tour wound through some of Virginia's most scenic and historic countryside: along the banks of the James River, past stately colonial plantations, down to Williamsburg and back to Richmond. A.C. Roane may not have been able to see it — but he could appreciate it just the same. Roane's view of the surroundings on his two-day charity ride was limited primarily to the blurry shapes and swatches of color that indicated the location of his cycling friends — a group known as the "Chain Gang" — on the road ahead of him. For almost three decades, beginning shortly after Roane's graduation from Virginia Tech, the hereditary disease retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been stealing his sight. Today he is 50 and long ago quit driving a car. He views the world through a tunnel of fog that will only shrink as the disease progresses. As if RP wasn't enough to cope with, Roane also suffered a stroke in 1997 — at the age of 43. "It was just a fluke thing," he says. "Other than the RP, I was always healthy as a horse. I had low blood pressure, and no clue anything was wrong." The day of the stroke, Roane was upstairs in his bedroom preparing to take his daughter to a piano lesson, when the room started spinning violently. He was able to call to his daughter for help, and at the hospital learned that he had an extreme narrowing of the arteries at the back of his head. Fortunately, the stoke damage was in a relatively unimportant, "forgiving" part of the brain that controls equilibrium, and within a year he had fully recovered. But the experience left its mark. "I've always felt that life was really fragile," says Roane, "but when this happened it really drove it home. "It was like someone flipped a switch and the whole world turned upside down." So what, you might ask, is Roane doing on a two-day bike ride — and raising money for multiple sclerosis? On the one-year anniversary of his stroke, Roane says, he felt the need to celebrate his recovery and challenge himself at the same time. He signed up for the Virginia Dare MS bike ride without knowing a single other participant or knowing anyone with MS (his sister-in-law has since been diagnosed). He simply enjoyed riding bikes, and had never gone a long distance. "I wanted to do something to signify I was totally back," he said. The 'chain gang' is born Although he had trained and felt physically fit, Roane began that first tour in 1998 with no small amount of trepidation. "It's a big group doing the ride, but it gets spread out over 75 miles [a day's leg]," he observes. Roane has particular difficulty seeing his way on back roads with no center lines or side lines, and in transitions from sunlight to shadow. "I was afraid I would miss one of the [marker] arrows," he chuckles, "and ride off into the sunset!" Coming out of the first rest stop, however, he heard the familiar voice of neighbor Gordon Fox. "Riding with anyone?" asked Fox, who was accompanied by a friend – and with that was born the "Chain Gang." For seven years now, Roane has ridden with the group through everything from torrential downpours to terrific heat – not to mention an obstacle course of hazards from potholes and dogs to gravel, glass and railroad tracks. All such obstacles are relayed to him verbally, and he usually manages to average about 17 mph over the two-day ride. The camaraderie of riding with a group, Roane observes, is wonderful; but equally important is the feeling of accomplishment the ride gives him. "With what I have, you need to step and out and stretch yourself a bit," he says. "I've found that when you challenge yourself to do things, it gives you confidence. If you don't stretch yourself, your world starts to get smaller and smaller." Although Roane gave up working in the insurance business years ago, he continues to thrive in his role of stay-home dad to daughters Natalie, a new J.R.Tucker H.S. grad, and Anne Carey, a rising freshman at Deep Run H.S. He goes snow skiing and water skiing and ran the Ukrop's 10K with his daughter in March. In the familiar environment of his Wellesley home, he gardens and often does the cooking for the girls (who particularly favor his spaghetti) and his wife Brenda. He can be so proficient at these tasks, in fact, that a newcomer to the scene would never guess he has limited sight. But in unfamiliar surroundings his limitations become "painfully obvious," says Roane — who adds that anyone who stumbles or says "excuse me" to inanimate objects as often as he does can't help but develop the ability to laugh at himself. 'A screeching halt' His only bike-riding mishap had nothing to do with his lack of vision, either. In that race, two blocks from the finish line, Roane's bike shoes got hung up in the pedals and he broke his wrist in the resulting fall. Another freak "off-bike" accident on the way to a tour left riders unscathed, but cost Roane and his group their cycles. As the carload of bikers approached Fredericksburg on I-95, the straps of the bike rack gave way and the entire contents crashed to the pavement in a tangle. "We brought I-95 to a screeching halt," laughs Roane. "Those bikes looked like pretzels!" Although it ruined the ride for that weekend, he says with a shrug, the insurance paid for a new bike that he loves: a titanium model weighing a mere 17 pounds. With a disease as progressive as his, Roane cherishes each year that he can continue to ride in the Virginia Dare, and holds out hope that researchers will find a way to arrest RP. He never hesitates to participate in studies of the disease, such as the program that required him to make multiple trips to Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. Who knows? Given the right breakthrough, he might someday be able to enjoy the sight he misses most – his daughters' faces as they grow up. Meanwhile, Roane and the "Chain Gang" raise hefty amounts of cash for multiple sclerosis research – though he insists his former employer and perennial sponsor, Northwestern Mutual (John Van Der Hyde Agency), deserves much of the credit for the $400 in pledges he collected this year. Obviously, it would take a lot more than near-blindness to make Roane miss a Virginia Dare ride. "I have so many wonderful friends," he exclaims, as he savors his memories of the latest tour. "People are always willing to help. And what a wonderful job the MS Society does — the ride is so well-organized. "Besides," he laughs, "They treat us like celebrities!" For information on the Va. Dare tour, or donating to the MS Society, visit http://www.nationalmssociety.org/var/home |

Loose change, generally 1p's or 2p's (in UK) which constitute suitable throwing material, used to partially injure and or humiliate disliked individuals.
5 or 10p's can also be suitable to throw for those think themselves as better then the majoity. 1.'Hey I'm sure that pikey over there was givin' me a pedo look, like he wanted to sell me some gypsy pegs or sommat'

Ontario Christian has hired Chuck Belk to coach its baseball team.Belk, who replaces Justin Duarte after a three-year tenure, was head baseball coach at Cal Poly Pomona from 1992-95 and most recently was head coach at Webb in 2008.

Franchione gets new 5-year deal at Texas State
SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) Texas State football coach Dennis Franchione has agreed to a five-year contract extension that pays him $400,000 annually starting in 2014.
The agreement announced Thursday says Franchione will remain at his current base salary of about $350,000 until February. Franchione took over the program in early 2011 and had a five-year deal.
He led Texas State to a 6-6 record as an independent. The Bobcats went 4-8 last season as Franchione guided the program through its transition to Division I. The Bobcats will join the Sun Belt Conference in 2014 after playing one season in the WAC.

Fight for Internet speech ratchets up
Open forum site fighting for right to political discourse
By Bob Unruh
The popularity of new homes of only 500 square feet, 500-million-year-old bacteria and Barack Obama telling those with successful businesses, "You didn't build that."
Those are just a few among the topics of discussion now at Free Dominion, a Canadian version of Free Republic in the U.S. where Internet users talk about, well, just about everything.
Now website organizers are trying to raise a few thousand dollars to pursue arguments in a court case that would solidify the foundation for Internet free speech in Canada, a case they won at the trial court level but saw reversed on appeal because the judges wanted to address "a number of public interest and legal issues."
The operators of the Free Dominion website are asking supporters for help in raising an estimated $14,000 they need right away for the fight.
Go here to read the rest!
Thanks so much to Joseph Farah and Bob Unruh! You guys rock!

Medical Marijuana Bill A Non-Starter
Metro Source News - Fri 08:18 AM 04/22/2011
The program would allow physicians to write prescriptions for marijuana for people with cancer, AIDS, MS and other diseases.
Lawmakers in Topeka appear poised to ignore a measure allowing marijuana to be legally prescribed to chronically ill Kansans.
In an interview the bill's sponsor Gail Finney says a lot of constituents are being ignored. Finney says she is seeking a state-regulated program to allow physicians to write prescriptions for marijuana for people with cancer, AIDS, MS and other diseases.
The Speaker of the House and the chairwoman of the House's health committee have not taken steps to hold hearings or otherwise advance the bill.

Kippguy.. i almost agree with you, but everyone should know by now that its not gonna go the way we want. I agree with the IDEA of "medial marijuana", the problem is there are always ways around that theory. For example, look what happened to California. ANY person can walk into a medial marijuana establishment, say they have anxiety, get a prescription, and go on their marry way. It will turn all middle to upper class communities into trash, steer away tourists, and lower property values. Dont get me wrong, I am not against weed, I just dont think we need any more access to it. Anybody ever seen the movie "Idiocracy"... that is what is going to happen if we legalize weed..there are enough idiots!

yo man im not trying to criticize you or nothing but i mean come on yo. Ofcourse we always have our scammers and what not but do u think our society will really be reduced to nothing if weed is legal? take a look at these people that need medication most of them can barely get around or leave the house not to mention over 70% of usa have been consuming cannabis and our world hasnt fallen yet reconcile yourself plz

Its stupid to spend our tax dollsrs on incarcerating non violent criminals for smoking a marijuana cigarette...leagal or not if people want it they will get it. At least let's regulate it so the smokers can get good quality cannabis vs the dirty mexican weed. Its a seed bearing plant and God said we should partake of it. I don't smoke any more but keeping it illegal is going against Gods will. It not like they're adding chemicals to break it down like heroin and cocaine.

@NoBlAmEGaMe101--I don't think marijuana should have ever been made illegal. People like you seem to paint with too wide of a brush by implying that ALL smokers of pot are worthless lazy deadbeats. This is simply not true. You will find many productive and highly intelligent pot smokers in all walks of life. It is plain to see that regarding marijuana use, the ignorant one is you.

Wow what a shocker lol. Frankly I am glad, "mmj laws" are not what anyone needs. They are half assed and very wimpy imo. If it is legalized, then anyone can use it for whatever they want. Last I checked most people put in cages and that have had lives up ended werent critically ill, they were normal everyday people moms dads sons daughters brothers sisters grandparents aunts uncles etc...normal people. @why..so its ok if people eat it? But don't light it on fire lol..ok. Allow me to enlighten you, and likely many others, even though you may not be aware of it, you can consume cannabis. People have for tens of thousands of years and do commonly now. So thats ok? Thanks for the laugh.

you dont have to smoke marijuana to feel its effects. turn it into hash oil and cook with it. its the best and guess what, it doesnt affect your body the way smoking does.

Morphine is legal for medicinal use and the same plant for makin that is the same plant that heroine comes from. so using a pot heads argument I can just sit around the house and shoot up all day!

also, if cannabis is all natural and put on this planet by God, how come all pot heads become enraged when they discover they have been sold Ditch Weed??

My GOD, are all anti-marijuana folks really this ignorant? Marijuana (cannabis)and ditch-weed (hemp) are two completely different plants. They are related through the same genus of plant.

Actually heroin is derived from morphine, which is obtained from the opium poppy. If you want to sit around the house banging poppy seeds, be my guest. But if you want opium, morphine, or heroin, you are going to have to PROCESS it first.

Look at a opiate junkie aka pill poppers they are the same as or worse than crackheads. the only unsafe thing about cannabis is that it is illeagal and that people buy into the propaganda and bs the govt. Tells them. Use your brain and think for yourselves the only biases research the govt uses to support its finds are made of lies to benefit big pharmacitcal companies by making the only relief from physical and mental ailments have to be bought from them at a 3500% markup..

NoBiame your comment about Tourists is a joke right. Colorado sees around 5 million Tourists a year. With 2500 dispensary's and growing im not following your thinking. After a quick google search Cali is the most visited state in the nation. And im sure has more MMC than co. You also said it will turn all middle class family's to trash. Ha Ha Ha Ha thats a good one too.
