HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley CEO Chad Melton said he expects the hospital to take its first patient June 1.
Officials at HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley expect to take their first patient June 1, according to CEO Chad Melton. Melton told Patch Tuesday that renovations to the former Pascack Valley Hospital in Westwood are about 90 percent complete and they hope to have a certificate of occupancy for the whole building within the next month and have a license by April. The renovations will make the hospital an all around more comfortable place for patients than the Pascack Valley Hospital was, Melton said. The old pea green walls have been repainted white or other bright colors. Furniture in work areas is designed to dampen sound so it will not bother patients. The new layout will also be easier for guests to navigate, Melton said. "I have no …

Field Notes: JPow looks to Worlds
Jeremy Powers represented the 2012 US National Champion jersey well. So well, in fact, that he was thought by many experts and non-experts to be an even bet for a repeat performance in 2013. However, nothing is ever certain in cross racing and results played out differently on the national championship course on that cold, blustery day. Ahead of the Worlds in Louisville, Kentucky – the first time the climax to the cross calendar has been held outside the EU – I spoke to Mr. Powers about the next phase of the season.
"Yeah, Nationals. I was hoping for that to be a day to remember. And I guess in a way it will be. I just forgot to to have fun. For the two or three days before I totally got in my own head about it: About the pressures surrounding it and what it would mean to be in that jersey again this year. But, I guess you have to remember that you're never too good to make an honest mistake."
Louisville Now
Jeremy made the choice to eschew a few weeks at home with loved ones to spend some much needed time near the course. He rented a scooter to do some motor pacing and has spent nearly every day there, looking at lines, riding the course and envisioning what is going to take place. This is where he can take the time to test out different tire choices, pressures, corners and everything that the Louisville course has to offer.
"So, far, it has just been fast fast fast and that is something that the European guys do not see often. It is a very US style course, and we know it because we have been here a few times before. Where the 2012 Worlds track was very specific to the Belgian style of racing, this one is not. But, they [the Belgians] have proved me wrong before."
Tom Hopper shows off the Rapha Workshop Apron -->
Right Hand man
The other ace up Jeremy's red white and blue sleeve is his mechanic. Tom Hopper was someone who was continually recommended to him at the beginning of last year.
"Basically I was looking for someone as Type A as Stu [Thorne head mechanic and owner of Cannondale Cyclocross World] and everyone kept saying 'you gotta talk to this guy.' Tom and I are similar in age and have never had a real disagreement about anything on the race course. And as far as preparations go, I know that everything on each bike is going to be exactly the same. Which is a big deal in cyclocross."
"You need to be confident in your mechanic. You need to know you can hand something off at the pit and say 'less pressure' or 'tire change' or whatever it is and that the two of you are thinking on the same wavelength. We are on that same wavelength and have a really confident relationship."
Europeans on American Soil
Speaking of the 'Belgian Brigade' as Powers has taken to calling them (referring to last year's World Championships in Koksijde, Belgium where 8 of the top 10 riders were Belgian): This will be the first time that they have raced the Championships outside of Europe and that is a fact that should be duly noted.
Rumor has it that current World Champion Niels Albert has already experienced some of the travel pains that are normally only associated with the US riders heading 'over there'. Apparently Albert lost some of his World Champion Colnago bicycles in transit to the warm up race in Cincinnati, Ohio. Have the tables ever so slightly turned to give some other countries that much desired home advantage?
"I don't know, maybe," states Powers, "but I don't wish them any bad luck, and I hope that the strongest guy wins. If that happens to be an American, that's all the better."
After the party is the after-party
So what's next after Worlds? It is not going to be all Champagne and bubble baths for our hero. At least not yet. Directly after finishing the World Championships in Louisville, Jeremy and Sam Smith, his director in the Behind the Barriers video series, will head over to Japan to finish out the season at Tokyo Cross.
"This is going to be a great place for us to wrap up the season of Behind The Barriers and wind down from the cross season. It sounds like they have a lot planned for us over in Japan, so we are looking forward to checking out their scene."
However, directly off the race course in Louisville there was another party that was mentioned…
What is the Louisville 2013 Foam Party?
"Ha. I'm not sure what that is actually, but they have asked me to DJ for it. And I said, well, I didn't officially say yes, but I didn't say no either. It all kind of depends on how the racing goes. How I'm feeling after the race is over."
And as I tell him that they are using a photo of him in the shower as their Twitter avatar (@LV2013Foamparty) he fires back with a quote that could be directly applied to all of this: the National Championships, the preparation, the racing, the Djing and Behind the Barriers.
"I put myself out there. I deserve whatever I get."
The 2013 World Championships in Louisville, Kentucky will be broadcast live on the internet next weekend February 2nd and 3rd. Cyclocross Magazine has the details and a handle on all the updates coming through the wire. Rapha North America will be on site to follow along with all the racing action.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse police are investigating a shooting and robbery that happened during a home invasion early Sunday morning. They say two men forced their way into a home on the 100-block of Sedgwick Street a little before 3:30 a.m.
Two men inside, ages 23 and 24, were shot during the robbery. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Police say it appears the house was targeted by the suspects, and this home invasion does not appear to be connected to the Sunday morning homicide on Highland Street.
Anyone with information on the home invasion is asked to call Syracuse Police at (315) 442-5222.

Welcome to the Strough Referendum Blog. The purpose of this blog is to give you the opportunity to learn more about the Strough building project, answer any of your questions as well as give you the chance to leave a comment. To better help us manage this blog, please limit your postings to 300 words. Since the Rome City School District website is designed to be used by our students, the district will review all individuals posting for content as directed under Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) to prevent material harmful to minors prior to public posting on the RCSD website. |
To start the conversation, you may want to review the powerpoint presentation available on our website regarding the proposed plan to improve our Strough Middle School.
Did you know that Strough was once known as the Laurel Street School? Students in grades K-9 attended the Laurel Street School. In 1958 an addition was added to the school to accommodate a growing population of students. I would be interested in hearing from any citizens that attended Laurel Street School. With Regards, Jeffrey Simons Superintendent of Schools |
While I attended Strough Junior High School in the early 70s my brothers attended Laurel Street School in the early 60s when the school was relatively new. I remember both of my brothers talking about the "little kids" in the building, while they did not have any issues or concerns with a K-9 configuration I do remember they felt they had grown up when they went to the high school consisting of only teenagers.
A lot has changed since that time but the building does not reflect it, we need to move the building into the 21st century. |
I want to thank Old Roman for the comments. Strough has gone through several changes in configuration. As noted, it once served students, K-9. For a period of time, Strough was one of two 7-9 Junior HIgh Schools with Staley serving as the second 7-9 Junior High. Strough was a Grade 6-8 Middle School and now serves as the district's only school for students in grades 7-8. The curriculum has changed signficantly since the building was designed in 1950. New science labs, new technology classrooms and refurbished classrooms will help our teachers and students meet the curriculum requirements of today. Thanks Old Roman for taking an interest in our school project. |
I too attended Laurel st school as a kindergartener while Denti was being built. The second half of the school year we were moved to Denti where Mr. Whitman was the Principal. |
Thank you to not so old Roman for replying. What do you remember about changing schools during the middle of the year? The district is submitting plans to the state education department to renovate Denti School during the 2012-13 school year. The public approved renovations to Denti and the other elementary schools in January of 2010. As you are aware Denti opened in 1970.
The district needs a 60% approval of the voters to complete the needed work at Strough. Hopefully, residents who attended our schools like you will realize that the buildings are aging and need the necessary work. Thank you for posting your comments. |
Happen to be at Strough recently and my first thoughts were, looks good, but taking a closer look I realized the halls and lockers have been renovated. However the classrooms are awful, the ceilings, walls and floors need to be replaced and the chalk boards really tell the story of just how old the building is. Some rooms have smartboards well others do not. Looking at the halls then the classrooms I can vision just how nice the building will be once renovated. Plus I don't think the building supports student learning. No one wants to work or learn in poor conditions. We need to vote yes. |
Thanks "Just Another Roman" for taking the time to look around when you visited Strough. There is definitely a contrast when you examine the condition of the large gym, cafeteria, hallways, lockers and then go into the classrooms. There are 81 classrooms in the school that have not been addressed in previous projects. These classrooms contained asbestos flooring tile, inadequate heating and ventilation and are served by original electrical, plumbing and mechanical work that needs to be replaced.
As you point out, not all classrooms have the technology to prepare students for the 21st century. I am glad that you support the project and grateful that you took the time to look for yourself. Thanks Just Another Roman! Sincerely, Jeff Simons Superintendent of Schools |
I attended Strough from the fall of 2004 until the fall of 2007 when I transferred to RFA. I was there during the last year that they had sixth grade there Even then, the school needed work. I can remember the school using a large rug and duct tape to cover a large area of exposed asbestos in front of the guidance office. The black curtains on-stage, which were replaced in the 1990s, were torn to the point where they were almost unusable. Most of the school bells that were connected to the school buzzer system that indicates the start and finish of classes were disconnected (except for the bells on the east side of the second floor). In addition, everywhere I walked in the building, I saw conduit, along with a host of other age-related building issues.
I am very glad that the district has the opportunity to renovate this building to 21st century standards very inexpensively. In addition, would it be possible to construct a hallway between the maintenance area in the basement, the downstairs gyms, and the tech rooms? It seems that the only way to access these areas (from inside the building, unless one goes outside) is to take the stairs that lead to each area from the first floor. Thank you! |
Jeff, very nice presentation at the last School Board meeting. I had some questions on the referendum, but unfortunately I had to leave because we had a Common Council meeting that night. First, I'm very much surprised that the referendum is eligible for 97.8% percent state aid. With the State's economical challenges, I would have thought that the aid formula would have significantly changed by now. However, it didn't, and that alone almost makes the referendum a "no-brainer", because to vote the referendum down, would mean postponing work that needs to be done in the best interests of the students, and if you postpone the work, the 25.4 million dollar project becomes a $30 million plus project down the road. Furthermore, holding off on the project runs the risk that the state aid will not be there, and the burden of the cost for the needed work will be left to the taxpayers. My concern is the $137,120 per year for 15 years--the local share. Was any thought given to taking money from the reserve accounts to pay this yearly figure, and thus avoiding a tax increase, albeit small, to the taxpayers? There has been some attention recently to the amount in the reserve accounts, and if possible, possibly taking from the reserve would even decrease the tax burden that much more. Even if $50K could be taken from the reserve, it would lessen the tax burden to the general public. Your consideration in this regard is appreciated.
Frank Anderson |
Thanks Frank Anderson for both attending the board meeting and for your continued interest in school district issues.
As a former board of education member, you were very involved in the development of previous projects to maximize state aid and repair our schools. The school district has currently appropriated 6.5 Million from reserves to this year's operating budget. This decision, made by the board last Spring, ensured that the tax levy increase was kept marginal at 1.75% , maintained reasonable class sizes and avoided cuts in non-mandated programs such as Advanced Placement, Art and Music. The board and I are very concerned about what we might see in the Governor's budget for school operating aid in January. As you are aware school building aid and school operating aid are very different. We receive generous reimbursement for building aid but have experienced 3 years worth of cuts in school operating aid. We want to maintain our reserves so as to protect taxpayers from the potential impact of further state operating aid reductions. We will also be working within the constraints of the property tax cap and to offset anticipated increases in employee retirement costs. In short, if we take more monies out of reserves now to offset local share costs associated with the Strough project, we will have less money for the 2012-13 operating budget. Frank, I think you might also find it interesting that expenses associated with capital projects are exempt from the property tax cap. Thank you for the input and your support for this project. |
Thanks Recent RFA Graduate. I always knew our RFA Graduates were knowledgeable and well prepared. Your comments reflect a good understanding of the need to repair Strough. It is nice to hear from a recent student who can remember some of the deteriorated conditions at Strough.
Related to your suggestions to improve corridor access within the subbasement areas, I will forward your questions and suggestions to our district architect for consideration. Thank you so much. Are you residing in Rome and are you a registered voter? Thanks, Jeff Simons |
Number 1 question about using the empty classrooms @ NYSSD is how much will it cost Rome Taxpayers?? New York State has never done anything before without getting something more in return |
Thanks "Concerned Parent" for your question. At this point, the Strough Advisory Committee is looking into a number of topics related to the Strough renovation project. Use of classrooms at the NYSSD is one of several ideas we are researching at this point. We have not determined whether or not there are sufficient spaces available or if there are costs. The committee is at the very beginning stages of planning and the costs associated of any relocation of students will certainly be a factor in evaluating possible locations.
Thank you for the excellent question. Please check back as I will periodically post updates on the Strough renovation project. Jeff Simons |
There is so much about this that concerns me, first of all, the Sentinel was a bit premature in publishing the recent story about relocation possibilities. I fully agree that the classrooms do need renovating at Strough. I am there everyday as an educator and look forward to the time when middle school students in Rome will have the same "environmental" benefits as our students at RFA. As a staff member at, and parent of former NYSSD students, I am frustrated by many of the assumptions being made by people in our community about our facility, our capability and willingness to "host" 400-800 Strough students but especially the statistics being headlined such as "62 students on 17 acres". As that may be an accurate statistic, it does not prove that we have excess space within our school and dormitory buildings to accommodate even half of the total enrollment at Strough. Actually, each and every classroom in our school is currently in use, once used to educate all 275 or so deaf students when our enrollment was at a high. As a school that graduates students with Advanced Regents, Regents, Local and IEP diplomas each June, we have students at nearly every grade level from Pre-K to 12, as well as 2 ungraded self-contained classrooms, some grade levels have only 2 or 3 students while others far exceed that number. We also, have several Speech Therapists, Resource Staff, Art and Music. With all of this said, please leave the decision making about this option to both Superintendents. Lastly, to "Concerned Parent", in the event Strough students are housed in our facility, should NYSSD (NOT NEW YORK STATE) provide electricity, heat, etc. free of charge? Each year our Administration works hard to develop a budget which meets our needs (barely some years) while satisfying the Governor enough to gain his approval. Believe me, we have made many cuts and scarifies in recent years not unlike the public school system. I am confident that the final decision will be one that is in the best interest for all. |
Thank you Educator and Parent for your interest in the planning of the Strough renovation project. You are correct in that the discussions regarding the potential relocation of students from Strough to NYSSD are preliminary. Having visited the NYSSD for both graduation ceremonies and recently during my tour with NYSSD Superintendent Ray, I have first hand knowledge of the quality of the offerings you provide to students. I am also aware of the efforts that have been made to maintain positive and successful programs with reduced budgets and staff as I participate in regional meeting with Superintendent Ray.
I appreciate that the NYYSD is even willing to investigate this option with the Rome City School District. You are 100 % correct in cautioning the public not to draw to many conclusions from one newspaper article. Future meetings are planned with Superintendent Ray to further discuss and evaluate this option. Thank you for ensuring inaccurate perceptions are not developed within the community. Jeff Simons |
Mr. Simons,
After reading your response I realized my comment may have seemed directed at you when I actually intended to address comments others have made. I have every confidence that both you and Ms. Ray will make every decision in there best interest of all involved. Thank you for your commitment to our district. |
Kudos to the 5 members of the board who voted to keep Strough empty for the renovation and keep the 5th graders in the elementary schools for one year. I have a student who will be able to stay with his younger siblings for another year and he is thrilled. Students are resilient and don't care so much about facilities as teachers do: they care that their teacher is enthusiastic and is able to teach them what they have to learn. I am positive that even in temporary facilities (trailers) this will be managed quite well with the right teachers. Staley teachers need not have cried about this decision; it is clearly the best of options that considered the students' interests first, especially those students in Strough not having to be exposed to noise pollution or restricted to "safe" parts of their building. Staley teachers will get back their school after only one short year, anyway, now that the construction crew has full access to the Strough facility. I spoke to many parents who were in agreement with me that they didn't mind keeping their 5th grader in the elementary school AT ALL (and wished it would stay that way!). We didn't show up to the board meetings because we are busy parents with little ones who trusted that the board would choose this clearly best option. I am so thrilled that the 5 members of the board had the courage to stand up to the teachers union and make the right decision for the kids. BRAVO! |

This week's main focus will be science, which gives local residents a once in a lifetime chance to climb on the roof of one of Downtown Abilene's most historic buildings.
The event kicks off at 7 p.m. with special guest speaker, Dr. Tom Barnes, Superintendent of the McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis, Texas.
"He will be speaking on the history of the observatory and just a little bit about the partial eclipse happening this weekend," says Cardenas.

A 19-year-old man suspected of brutally killing his sister-in-law and her two toddlers Tuesday was known to the family's church pastor as someone who struggled with drug addiction.
A spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department could not say on Wednesday whether the suspect, Grigoriy Bukhantsov, was under the influence when he allegedly killed his sister-in-law, along with her 3-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son.
However, a pastor at Bethany Slavic Missionary Church in Sacramento County said Bukhantsov's family brought him to the church one year ago for help, saying he was "possessed by drugs."
Church members encouraged him to get counseling, but it is not clear if that happened.
Two temporary restraining orders were filed against Bukhantsov in the last year, according to court documents.
The restraining orders were requested by Bukhantsov's father -- Aleksey Bukhantsov -- and included 13 family members who needed protection, including the victims in Tuesday's triple homicide.
The court records detail seven separate occasions where Bukhantsov allegedly assaulted family members, threatening to kill and stab them.
In one statement, family members said Bukhantsov was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he hit his sister in the stomach and face, broke cellphones and made death threats to a 12-year-old brother.
Statements by Bukhantsov's father said he went on violent rampages which included swearing, breaking household items and hitting his father, and younger sister and brother.
Documents show the situation became worse in 2011.
The father wrote that his son was, "threatening to stab everyone and the children to death."
The family quoted him saying, "I will kill you like Soltys did his family."

"Needs updating"
It needs to be updated. Could hear everything being said from surrounding rooms. The TV was old as was the furniture. Rooms were small. There should be breakfast included in price of room. The competition of surrounding area hotels offer breakfast. Most are priced the same such as Hampton Inn which does a very nice breakfast. Stayed because of event […] @ resort but should have stayed in Morgantown. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
The hotel staff was very friendly and courteous. Since we arrived around 6:30 it would have been great if we could have gotten something to eat. Being away from any stores they should have some type of food available.Verifierad gästrecension
"The fitness center was top notch & views awesome"
The hotel was undergoing some renovations but it had no affect on our stay. The location was great, amazing fitness center and close to Morgantown.Verifierad gästrecension

"Nice enough for what you pay"
I think it was worth the money but we had a few issues. The first room we were in was fine except for a lack of convenient electrically outlets but our neighbors were disruptive. We had a bunch of teenagers running up and down the halls screaming throughout the night. Next night we were moved to a newly renovated room but still outlets were an issue […] and the curtains were not designed to close all the way despite the fact that the room faced the front. I had to use a binder clip to keep the curtains closed. Even with these problems, we will go back. It was nice enough for the price and the location was good. I'll look around though and will consider other options for our next trip. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"Quiet area"
The hotel was away from the hustle and bustle of Morgantown, but close enough to get there within minutes. Resort was nice with the amenities included of pool, fitness, suana and gold, however due to the short visit and activities we had going on unable to use them. Rooms seems a liittle dated and it would have been nice to have a fridge & microwave […] in room, even thou not stated there was. Cheapr hotel we stayed in previous night at least included those. Room was comfortable, but the housekeeping was lacking. Very little toilet paper on roll and no addition roll left. Housekeeping took away used towels on first day and did not replace them or coffee supplies. Found that the be annoying for such a nice place. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

Nice surrounding area, very quiet. The room was a little dated but worth the money. I didn't see much of the property as I arrived late and left very early. The front desk person was very courteous.Verifierad gästrecension
"Good hotel if price is right"
Have stayed at this hotel for many years. Usually get good deal during the winter months as was the case with this stay. Hotel is becoming very dated and the uncomfortable mattresses prove this. Rooms are old but clean. The bed's are horrrible. Need replacement. Very hard to get a good nights sleep. During our stay there were many party's going on during […] our two night stay. Rooms and halls were loud with noise all day and night. Had to call front desk several times to complain. Worked for awhile then noise continued. Parking is slim to none during these party events. Had to park way away from room. Was not happy about all the cars and comotion in the parking lots and lobby area's. Hotel has great location and is close to the WVU campus which is a plus. Also hotel bar is nice with good food and great service. I would say this hotel is worth a stay if the price is right. It will not be long before this hotel needs a total renovation to satisfy future guests. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia

"Pretty standard"
This was my first stay at Lakeview and I wasn't impressed. Standard-sized room with ordinary industry level furnishings comparable to any motel chain property. We had to crank the 70s-era wall heater to 80 before it would produce warm air, and apparently it hadn't been used for a while as we got the trademark "hot dust" odor for the first few minutes. […] I'll only be back if it's the only available option. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"Great Golf Resort!"
Overall we were very pleased with our stay at Lakeview Golf Resort. We were unable to use the room safe because no one had a key. Also, we were there 3 nights & were provided with just two bath towels, one hand towel, & two washcloths each day. We were charged a $5 "resort fee" for each day there. We questioned this fee at checkout and were told it […] was for using the wireless internet & the indoor pool! There was no mention of either of these fees when checking in. And no mention of these fees in any of the brochures in the room. They did kindly remove those fees from our bill. The resort was huge & very spread out. But there was only ONE elevator for the whole building. We had to walk very far & go up & down several stairs to get to the lobby, pool, and restaurants. But the good outweighed the bad. Our room was comfortable & clean. The front desk staff was superb both checking in & checking out. The restaurants were very nice with good food. And the Lakeview golf course was beautiful & somewhat challenging. Cooper's Rock State Park was very close by & we had great fun hiking for three hours. We would definitely recommend this resort.

"Last resort!"
This hotel/resort is in need of a serious update. Rooms are old, stuffy and used. Not dirty just used. There was some mold on the bathroom ceiling, but again just needs to be updated. Biggest issue was that we charged for a third adult guest by Expedia and the hotel was not informed of this or at least they acted like they did not know. So, each day […] we were there we had to ask for extra towels, three adults could take a shower. Of course we did have two double beds, but unfortunately they were probably the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept in. We would have been better off on the floor, might have been softer.

"What hotel doesn't have clean towel?!?!"
I was a little nervous booking this room after reading the reviews and they were right, I should have stayed away!! After we checked in I went to take a shower and there wasn't a single towel (clean or dirty) in my room. I asked housekeeping for one and they said they didn't have any to give me. I then called the front desk and they told me they had […] a full house the previous night and the towels hadn't been washed yet, keep in mind this was approximately 6 pm. The only positive thing I can say is that the location was beautiful and it was close to some sight seeing attractions. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

"Nice hotel for a weekend getaway"
Our weekend getaway to celebrate a 60th birthday was very enjoyable. Our hotel room was clean and looked very nice and up to date. Our only disappointment was not having a refrigerator in our room and the noise that emanated from our heating system. We really liked the location and we took advantage of the spa and activities located nearby. We hiked […] at Cooper's Rock and took a wine tour at a winery. We would stay at this hotel again.

"Hotel needs renovating, beautiful grounds"
The hotel is on a golf course; and it's really beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. I took walks everyday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The views are just gorgeous. The rooms are another story. It has blue or green carpet. The tv is old. The rooms need too be renovated. The staff is nice. The salad at the hotel at the bar is amazing. I had it everyday […] that I was there. I even went back to get another salad after I left. The rate at the hotel was really reasonable. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

Mom loved this hotel! She says she will always come back here. My cousin even said the roll out bed was very comfortable.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
Was very disappointed with the first room. It was small and the bed was broken. When you sat at the foot of the bed the whole head part lifted off the ground about 9 inches. We called the desk and after 3 hours we had a guy come up and said he couldnt fix it. So we had to change rooms. The second room was better. The lot was small with only 2 handicap […] spots. It was hard to find a place to part due to the golfers. They cater to golfers and dont really care about their guests. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

"Fantastic Service"
After reading some of the reviews I was a little nervous. People didn't have too many nice things to say. I'm not quite sure why! My mother and I stayed here after we dropped my son off at WVU and trust me we are both very picky. Sure it could use some updating but we thought it was very nice. The people were so friendly in both the hotel and the lounge. […] The golf course looked beautiful. Wish we had more time to check it out. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

"Good handicap accessible rooms"
I was concerned about staying in this resort after I read some reviews online which said the carpet stinks, reservations made for a handicap accessible room which was not available upon arrival, no elevators etc. My husband, Mother and I stayed at the Lakeview Resort on Fri. and Sat. There is no unpleasant odor in the halls. Our room was nicely furnished […] and clean. I reserved a handicap accessible room because my Mom is in a wheelchair and we were assigned a handicap accessible room, complete with a handicap shower. The room was much easier to use than some in other hotels. And, by the way there are elevators. My only negative comment is that we were there for a wedding reception. Before the dinner a bar and snacks were set up in the hallway in front of the ballroom. There either is no air conditioning in the halls or it was malfunctioning that day. Everyone was quite uncomfortable in the hot hallways. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Totally Unsatisfactory"
This hotel should not be labeled as a resort. The price is overrated. There is no way the facilities are commensurate with the Marriot or Hampton Inn..Verifierad gästrecension
"Not exactly 3.7 stars."
The hotel room was very outdated and cramped. Despite specifying that there would be 3 people staying the room, we were put in a room with two double beds. Breakfast was very expensive; $12.50. The buildings are dingy and in need of new carpet and paint. However, everything was clean.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"nice quiet area"
Very cold swimming pool inside. No towels at swimming pool and hot tub the second day. There is a sign in the room to not take towels for swimming from the room. The sign tells you that towels will be provided at the pool area. No clean towels were provided at pool side. They were stingy with the shampoo. Only one tiny bottle was provided for 2 people […] for 2 days. We only had one set of towels and a wash cloth for 2 people for 2 days. Can not reach the outdoor pool. It is up a flight of over 50 steps. There was no elevator from the 2 nd floor to the lobby. The pool was on the 3 rd floor..had to climb steps. Will definitely stay at another motel next time. The hot tub was luke warm the 2nd day instead of hot. Evidently, no one takes care of the indoor pool and hot tub areas on Friday. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

"Clean, but not well-maintained."
It was a comfortable room - the beds were comfortable, room temperature was fine, the towels and chairs were nice, and everything was clean BUT... Hotel management really needs to bite the bullet and sink some money into updating the rooms, lobby, and pool. The beds and desks are fine, but new paint, new carpeting, new armoires and TVs, and ceiling […] repair need to be at the top of the priority list. The hotel may have been high-end 20 years ago, but not anymore. In the room I stayed in, the following updates would be required to make it a 4+ star hotel: - Repair the layer of textured paint that fell from/was still hanging from the ceiling - Replace the floor lamp that is fashioned with a green marble paint job - Replace the armoire - the edges and base were rubbed bare of the veneer - Replace the rear projection TV with a chip in the center of the glass with a flat panel TV - Update the window coverings so that the curtains block out the parking lot lights that are on all night - Make sure coffee mugs/cups are available. The in room coffee maker is useless without a way to consume the coffee. The lobby is really nice, but the carpeting really detracts from it - instead of laying flat, it was raised in waves in some places. I'd be willing to bet people trip on it often. The indoor pool was cold, and the hot tub wasn't very warm. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia

I don't think anything has ever been updated since it opened. The phone and alarm clock has yellow yellowed it was so old.

"Great Service-Not So Nice Place"
With it being a resort and spa in title and on a golf course I expected more. The Water Front was booked full so this seemd to be the next best option. It was kind of ghetto to me for something on a golf course and titled resort and spa! It seemed more like a Motel 6 or something, not very modern, not super clean, and kinda old and dingy in rooms. The […] restaurant is amazing, and customer service is fantastic. So employees were total rockstars, anyone I met was kind and the front desk employee Mercedes was amazing. Super kind, professional, cheerful, intelligent, wow I was impressed! Its just an average hotel so I wouldnt be misled by the spa and resort thing... Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"A BIG diasappointment!"
I assumed since this hotel was at a golf course resort and spa that it had to be improved since other reviews were written...I was wrong. The room was very small, out dated, and there was no overall sense of comfort. When I checked out the next morning, 3 days early, the employee at the front desk was very nice and understanding, but she didn't seem […] surprised at my reasons for checking out early. The location is also inconvenient. I suggest spending a little more a night to stay at the hotel on Waterfront Place in Morgantown, that's what I did and I had a fabulous stay!

"OK rooms; Spectacular Grounds"
The room furniture, and bathroom fixtures don't seem to be recently updated and therefore don't scream "luxury." But it is decent. The staff were warm and went out of the way to be kind and helpfu. We went in Feb. 2012 and the grounds were gorgeous. You look outside the restaurant glass walls, and its like looking at a painting. The rolling golf course […] and mountain vista was beautiful. For the price it was a good value. I would stay here again, especially in the summer when I can enjoy the outdoors. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Great Service and location, Rooms need updated"
The location and amenities of the Lakeview resort are TERRIFIC, especially the Spa. The only negative comment I have is that the rooms are very outdated - possibly still from the 1970s. The beds were very comfortable and the heat/air conditioning worked even though the unit looked like it could fall apart at any time. The TVs are still old as well.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

Published January 1, 1997.
We developed our oatmeal cookie recipe in order to get a big, chewy cookie with lots of real oat flavor. To get there, we made a few changes to the conventional oatmeal cookie recipe: First, we substituted baking powder for baking soda. The baking powder gave the dough more lift, which in turn made the cookies less dense and a bit chewier. Second, we eliminated the cinnamon recommended in most oatmeal cookie recipes, revealing more oat flavor. Third, we made our cookies really big, doubling the amount of dough most recipes recommend dropping onto the cookie sheet. We had learned that small cookies tend to be dry; by increasing size, we got more moisture and more chewiness. Fourth, we increased the sugar in our cookies, and this made a huge difference in terms of texture and moistness.
If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the white sugar by one-quarter cup, but you will lose some crispness. Do not overbake these cookies. The edges should be brown but the rest of the cookie should still be very light in color. Parchment makes for easy cookie removal and cleanup, but it's not a necessity. If you don't use parchment, let the cookies cool directly on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

String instruments > Violin and Piano
Johannes Brahms
Violin Sonata G major op. 78
編集者: Hans O. Hiekel
指使い: Hans-Martin Theopold
指使いバイオリン: Karl Röhrig
前書き: Wolfgang Sandberger
12.50 €
Urtext Edition, paperbound
with marked and unmarked string parts
ページ: 65 (IX, 30, 13, 13), 大きさ 23,5 x 31,0 cm
The Sonata in G major owes its epithet "Rain Song Sonata" to two melodies from Brahms' "Rain Songs" op. 59 nos. 3 and 4 which are quoted at the beginning of the last movement. An ornamental leaf with the first 24 bars of the "Adagio" was recently re-discovered and has been reproduced as a facsimile in this edition. It shows the connection between the work and Clara Schumann and her youngest son. Felix, Brahms' godson and a talented violinist, was seriously ill and died before the work was completed. In a letter of dedication on the reverse of the leaf, Brahms expresses his deepest sympathy and his best wishes. This single edition from the volume containing all of Brahms' violin sonatas (HN 194) contains a preface by Wolfgang Sandberger, illuminating the genesis of the "Felix Sonata".
What is particularly interesting about this new publication …, is the much longer, detailed and informative Preface. … This publication would seem extremely good value for money – whatever the current exchange rate!
[ESTA – Arco Magazin, 2009]
To mark this significant discovery, Henle has reprinted the sonata with a beautiful sepia facsimile of the sketch/letter. There are two violin parts; an edited version and an urtext one; handy if one wants a part uncluttered by someone else's fingerings and bowings.
[Stringendo, 2009]

I-series savings bonds
The savings bonds interest rates are set every 6 months in May and November. Here is the I-series bond interest announcement from this month's news release.
I Bond Earnings Rate of 4.60% includes Fixed Rate of 0.00%
The earnings rate for Series I Savings Bonds is a combination of a fixed rate, which applies for the life of the bond, and the semiannual inflation rate. The 4.60% earnings rate for I bonds bought from May 2011 through October 2011 also will apply for the succeeding six months after the issue date. The earnings rate combines a 0.00% fixed rate of return with the 4.60% annualized rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The CPI-U increased from 218.439 in September 2010 to 223.467 in March 2011, a six-month increase of 2.30%.
4.6% is quite a respectable rate considering all other options available. It is definitely time to buy I-series bonds for the next 6 months. The rate of inflation adjustment changes rates on older I-bonds as well. Some of the I-bonds that were purchased 10 years ago are yielding 6.65% (as they have higher fixed rate of 2.05%) with this month's adjustment.
A well known trick to squeeze a few more pennies… Buy the I-bonds towards the end of the month but, the interest is paid for the whole month as if the bond was bought on the first of the month.
