About This Show
- Summary
THE FBI estimates there are currently over 300 active serial killers in the United States. What would happen if these killers had a way of communicating and connecting with each other? What if they were able to work together and form alliances across the country? What if one brilliant psychotic serial killer was able to bring them all together and activate a following? Welcome to The Following, a new thriller from creator/executive producer Kevin Williamson. When notorious serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) escapes from death row and embarks on a new killing spree, the FBI calls former agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) to consult on the case. Having since withdrawn from the public eye, Hardy was responsible for Carroll's capture nine years ago, after Carroll murdered 14 female students on the Virginia college campus where he taught literature. Hardy is a walking textbook of all-things Carroll. He knows him better than anyone; he is perhaps Carroll's only psychological and intellectual match. But the Ryan Hardy who broke the Carroll case years ago isn't the same man today. Wounded both physically and mentally by his previous pursuit of this serial killer, it's been a long time since Hardy has been in the field. This investigation is his redemption, his call to action. In contrast to nine years ago, Hardy isn't calling the shots on this case. He works closely with an FBI team, which includes all-business and tough-as-nails Jennifer Mason (Jeananne Goossen) and young, razor-sharp Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore).
The team considers Hardy to be more of a liability than an asset. But Hardy proves his worth when he uncovers that Carroll was covertly communicating with a network of killers in the outside world. It quickly becomes obvious that he has more planned than just a prison escape, and there's no telling how many additional killers are out there. The FBI's investigation leads Hardy to Claire Matthews (Natalie Zea), Carroll's ex-wife and mother of the criminal's 10-year-old son, Joey (Kyle Catlett). Close during Hardy's initial investigation, Hardy turns to Claire for insight into Carroll's next move. The tension rises when Carroll's accomplices kidnap his intended last victim from nine years ago. Hardy becomes ever more determined to end Carroll's game when he realizes that this psychopath intends to finish what he started. The thriller will follow Hardy and the FBI as they are challenged with the ever-growing web of murder around them, masterminded by the devious Carroll, who dreams of writing a novel with Hardy as his protagonist. The reinvigorated Hardy will get a second chance to capture Carroll, as he's faced with not one but a cult of serial killers.

Nickelback to play Thanksgiving Day halftime show
The Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day halftime show will have a Canadian flavor this year.
Multiplatinum Vancouver-based rockers Nickelback are slated to perform at the half of the Lions' annual holiday game, this year against interdivision rival the Green Bay Packers. It's not know what Nickelback will perform, but the group will be promoting a new album, "Here and Now," which comes out Nov. 21.
The quartet has released two simultaneous singles from the album: "Bottoms Up" is currently in the Top 5 of the Billboard Rock Songs chart; while the socially conscious "We All Stand Together" is a Top 15 Adult Contemporary hit.
Nickelback has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide since its 1996 recording debut and is also the second top-selling foreign act in the U.S. -- behind only the Beatles -- with more than 21 million albums sold.
Previous halftime acts have been Kid Rock, Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp, John Fogerty and Mariah Carey.

SPARTA — The Lady Greyhounds won their eighth-straight game Thursday, while the boys' team fell in a one-sided game.
North Surry is taking part in the two-day Alleghany Christmas Tournament and took on Watauga Thursday.
The Lady Hounds (9-1) won 56-43, while the boys' team (4-7) lost 75-50.
Girls Game
For the girls, Coach Shane Slate said it was a typical post-holiday game as both teams looked a little sluggish and rusty in the first half.
After building a 16-8 lead in the first quarter, the Hounds gave it all back in the second quarter.
Clare Harris, who scored 15 points, came off the bench to hit three three-pointers to spark Watauga to a 15-3 run that turned an 18-10 deficit into a 25-21 lead with 21 seconds left in the half.
The Hounds scored in the final seconds for a two-point margin at the break. They pulled back ahead with a 15-9 third quarter for a slim 38-34 lead going into the fourth.
"The layoff hurt us some, but I thought we played three good quarters of basketball today," Watauga Coach Klay Anderson said. "I really thought the game turned in their favor in the fourth quarter. We got stuck on (34) and they put a run together and finally put some distance between us."
Center Malaya Johnson did most of that damage as she scored 10 second-half points. Johnson finished with a double-double of 17 points and 13 boards as well as seven blocked shots and six assists.
Forward Kristina Rumplasch led the Hounds with 18 points and eight assists while making the team's only two three-point shots.
"They also hurt us with some backdoor plays as well," Anderson said. "It wasn't just Johnson and Kristina. They got other people involved in the second half and attacked the basket."
Erin March and Jordan Badgett had six points each. Maddison Hawks added five and Morgan Hawks four.
From 48-36, the Lady Pioneers scored five straight to cut the lead to seven, but the Hounds made six of eight free throws down the stretch. The team finished 14-22 (64 percent) at the line for the game.
Watauga dropped its fourth-straight game since starting the season 3-0. The Lady Pioneers have three key players on the shelf with possible season-ending injuries: Jenna Woods out with a leg injury, Haleigh Wallace out with a stress fracture in her right leg, and Tasha Wilson out with a broken leg.
The Lady Hounds are back in action again today at 3 p.m. against Patrick County.
Boys Game
The Watauga boys team shook off the effects of its 13-day layoff by beating North Surry 75-50 Thursday afternoon.
It was Watauga's first game since December 14 as both games last week were postponed following the sudden passing of teacher and coach Leigh Cooper-Wallace.
"There are things way more important than basketball," said Watauga Coach Rob Sanders. "We're still in shock with Leigh's passing, and our prayers go out to the Cooper-Wallace family."
As for the basketball game, Sanders said, "We showed some signs of the layoff. Our timing was off, and we were out of sync at times. But I was real pleased with our defensive intensity. We forced the issue and took control of the game."
The Pioneers (5-2) were led by Cameron Baker's season-high 24 points. Ben Margolis chipped in with 16 points, including four three-pointers in the third quarter.
The Hounds played Watauga close in the first and fourth quarters, but were outscored 48-25 over the second and third periods.
Twenty-one of those points came in a row as Watauga turned a 14-9 hole into a 30-14 lead midway through the second quarter.
With the Pioneers focusing on all-conference forward Grayson Vernon, senior point guard Klay Newsome stepped up, scoring 10 of his 12 points in a flurry over the final three minutes of the second quarter.
The Hounds cut the lead to 38-32 early in the third quarter, but then Margolis got hot from downtown. And the Hounds had trouble hanging onto the ball, committing 29 turnovers.
"But Ben has the ability to hit from long range. They left him open a few times today, and our guys were able to find him. And we really needed that lift after (Newsome) brought them back with that barrage in the second quarter."
Vernon led the Hounds with 19 points, and Marcus Sawyers added eight and Austin Handy four.
"Vernon is a great player," Sanders said. "We stressed to our guys that we wanted to step things up and put some distance between ourselves and this team. They're a scrappy bunch. They came back on us, but we never let Vernon decide anything."

Spy shots: Aston Martin DB9 replacement spotted
Fresh from the Autoweek in-box, we bring you these new spy photos of Aston Martin's DB9 successor, lightly camouflaged and frolicking in the snow.
To paraphrase digital editor Andy Stoy, the bad news is it that looks like every other Aston. But the good news is that it looks like every other Aston. In other words, the new car isn't much of a departure from the established Aston Martin design ethos, but no one is recommending such a departure.
Here's how spy photographer Brenda Priddy's e-mail lays it out:
"Aston Martin will reportedly launch six new models over the coming six years, with most being evolutionary successors to existing models in the Aston lineup. Some, though, are all-new, and the most important of these new models, the successor to the current DB9, will reportedly arrive in 2013.
"As our exclusive spy pictures show, styling will be traditional Aston, with elements of the Rapide to appear also--the new headlights and the bumper-mounted number plate, for example.
"All else about the DB9 replacement is unknown. It is believed to be in development under the code name Project VH500, but it remains to be seen whether it will continue with the DB9 name or jump up to DB10 or DB11."

GRCC has been successfully running the Connect project since April 2011 with funding from the Nominet Trust. The aim of the project is to help anyone over the age of 55 and living in Gloucestershire to use a computer and get 'online.' Connect aims to help people, especially those living in the more rural areas of the county at whatever their level of ability and experience, to become more confident in using a computer and the internet.
Good progress has been made in extending the functionality and reach of "sharedwalk" - an internet service to help support individuals keep in touch through visual communication. Of particular concerrn are the elderly alone. Their family, friends, relatives (or volunteers) can share experience through a simple visual uploading service from a smartphone app.
Since our training day last December, much has been happening on Gransnet Local. The sites are filling up rapidly with listings and we've been pleased to note that even the sites that aren't yet being managed by editors are acquiring occasional business entries.
The technical glitches are all being ironed out and the site is fully operational now and ready for business. We are ready for launch!
OurHousing will be showcasing on 18th May at the most excellent 'HousingCamp' unconference, hosted by Thames Valley Housing. If you're a landlord or simply excited by the idea of 'tenant tech' then grab your free ticket now!

I am having two (related) problems with nested object properties. The first is that the form is not displaying the labels for a nested object's properties. The second is that no validations (i.e. RuleSource...) are applied to the nested object's properties either. If the nested object is put on the form by itself, the labels and validation show up on the form.
In the message file,Code:class Aggregate
Child child;
Child getChild() {return child;}
class Child
String value;
String getValue(){return value;}
If an instance of Child is put on to a form, the label "Value:" show up.Code:value.label=Value:
On the form for Aggregate, I have added "child.value" on the form but the label for value did not show up. The string "child.value.label" is displayed instead. The validation for value is not applied to the field either.
I have found two workarounds so far for the labels part of the problem; both of which seem rather kludgy. The first, is to add another entry in the message file... i.e.
Shouldn't it be able to pick up the label for value for the nested object child instead of having to duplicate the entries in the message file?Code:child.value.label=Value
The second is for a to "nest" itself. e.g.
This way I can have 1 entry in the message file, but writing a getter to get a reference to an instance of myself seems a bit odd.Code:class Child
String value;
String getValue(){return value;}
Child getChild()
return this;
Any comments, folks?

MIAMI Ruben Amaro Jr. had plenty of aggressive moments as general manager. Friday, he started what will be an interesting exercise in patience.
After watching Chase Utley spend a month testing his skills at third base in pregame workouts, Amaro decided that playing the veteran at the hot corner for a week at the end of the season wouldnt give him enough comfort to base his offseason moves on such a change.
So, Chase Utley wont play third base this season, and probably wont play there in 2013, either.
Its kind of on hold now, I guess, Amaro said. I think hes made progress at third base. I dont know if its a matter whether he can do it, I think its more a matter of practicality and whats really best for the team overall.
In retrospect, it would be difficult to make a real assessment in six games, to watch this guy play and say, OK, we know Chase Utley is going to be an average defender and better for our team. Thats a very difficult thing to be able to assess. None of us are good enough scouts to be able to do that.
While having that option would be helpful, I dont know if its really an option thats going to make us necessarily better.
Amaro and Charlie Manuel had closed-door meetings with Utley and Jimmy Rollins prior to Fridays game against the Marlins. They will do the same with the other key veterans in coming days.
Utleys interview included the decision to shelf the third-base idea. However, Amaro said nothing has changed about the free-agent market at third base. He still considers it weak.
What has given the Phillies reason for optimism is that both Utley (chronically sore knees) and Ryan Howard (reconstructive Achilles tendon surgery) have had no real physical setbacks since missing the first half of the season. With the rest of the infield as healthy as it has been in a few years, and the Phillies making it clear they will pursue a high-profile outfielder this winter, they believe Freddy Galvis and perhaps a solid backup could be enough at least to open 2013.
Freddy could play third, Amaro said. We could try to find somebody from the outside to play third. (Kevin) Frandsen could play third. We still have some options.
If that doesnt prove to be enough clout, or if injuries again start to gut the middle of the lineup, making an in-season trade always is one of those options.
However, Manuel is a big proponent of Galvis getting a chance to show his stuff.
I think Freddy can play third defensively. I dont see it being a problem, Manuel said. He can play short, second, or third.
I think the biggest thing about Freddy is can we find him 375, 425 at-bats. I think that would keep him sharp as a player and in a development stage I think we definitely can get Freddy at-bats.
NOTES: Roy Halladay starts Saturday night for the Phillies, and Manuel doesnt believe there will be a need to limit his pitch count, even though the right-hander was hampered by muscle spasms in his shoulder a week ago and thrashed for seven runs in two innings by the Braves. Well watch him and see how hes doing, Manuel said. We definitely arent going to over-pitch him. Well see. We can take care of him. Its not like were going to let him overdo it. I just want him to pitch the way hes capable of doing, let him get loose and feel going about himself. Amaro said the Phillies are specifically in the market for a right-handed power bat. Although Darin Rufs monstrous Double-A season and impressive hitting in his first handful of starts with the Phillies has boosted his standing, Amaro is reluctant to think Ruf can be an everyday player in 2013. Darin Ruf could be part of the solution, he said. Its kind of tough to put that on the kid right now and count on him and say, OK you know what, youre going to be the other right-handed compliment to the rest of this club. But you cant rule him out because hes a pretty good hitter. We dont know how good yet.

The forged aluminum staggered-size M wheels were a rare option only ordered by enthusiasts. This M3 shows and drives as beautifully as you'd expect for a well cared-for BMW, and it has a perfect CARFAX report with no accidents….a true no-excuses car! |

NEWTOWN — Months before she was killed in a gunman's rampage, Sandy Hook Elementary School Principal Dawn Hochsprung wrote a letter expressing her excitement over an effort to bring a children's museum to Newtown.
At the time, the proposal was fairly modest: a building of perhaps 20,000 square feet would provide art and science programs for area children.
Since last month's massacre, the plan has become more ambitious, with museums around the country collecting donations and organizers looking to renovate a 52,000-square-foot building to host the new learning center. A capital campaign that was to begin in the spring will start right away, with hopes of raising $10 million instead of the original $4 million.
"The need for the children's museum, which everyone thought was a great idea before, became almost a necessity," said Kristin Chiriatti, the museum's president. "People understood that the children will need a place to heal. We have so many children who are scared to go to school now and may have lifelong poor associations with learning."
It will still be a community museum, Chiriatti said, but it will also be a destination point for southwestern Connecticut.
The museum, first proposed in 2011, was to feature rotating exhibits on such topics as electricity, sound and outer space. Chiriatti called it "Everwonder," a play on the wonder the museum is meant to evoke and her question as to whether it would be possible to build, she said.
The group had been involved in hosting programs at the local library and envisioned a place for children to draw and conduct experiments.
Hochsprung wrote to Chiriatti in March that she supported the idea to engage students with hands-on, interactive experiences.
"In order for students to learn, they must be invested in what we are teaching," she wrote.
On Dec. 14, Hochsprung was among the victims of the rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook. The 20-year-old gunman killed his mother before driving to the school, opening fire and then committing suicide as police arrived. Continued...
The museum building will include some type of memorial to Hochsprung and the other victims, Chiriatti said.
"These children were our children's friends," she said. "We haven't decided how it will be done, except that it will be done in a cheerful way that celebrates childhood and education. Because that's what this is about: creating a cheerful place, filled with learning and enjoyment."
Architects and other professionals have agreed to volunteer for the project, which is tentatively planned for the campus of Fairfield Hills Hospital in Newtown.
And Chiriatti is getting help from other museums across the country.
Robert Dean, the executive director of a children's museum in Grand Rapids, Mich., got involved the day of the shooting, after a 9-year-old son of his museum's board president asked how they might help the kids in Newtown. He called a board meeting to brainstorm.
"We talked a letter-writing campaign and other things, but when we learned they were trying to build a children's museum, I just thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if they could have the same thing we have?'" he said.
A dollar from each admission fee collected at that museum and two others in Grand Rapids last Saturday will be donated to the Everwonder project.
Dean contacted the Association of Children's Museums, which launched a national effort. Museums are being asked to set aside one day this year and donate $1 from each admission that day to Everwonder. Chiriatti said she has already heard from four — the Children's Museum of Brownsville, in Texas; the Seattle Children's Museum; the Tucson Children's Museum, in Arizona; and the Bucks County Children's Museum, in Pennsylvania.
She said they are hoping to raise all they need without seeking any money from an $8.5 million fund set up by the United Way to support the community after the massacre.
"They need to identify where that money is really needed, what is most important," she said. "If they need a counseling center, that should be where that money goes. It would be great to get some help, but we're certainly not going to be actively seeking that funding if it's needed somewhere else." Continued...
Chiriatti said they hope to have their museum opened by the end of 2015.

Area News
Kansas Muzzleloaders Association conducts work day!
On April 20-21, the Kansas Muzzleloaders Association conducted a work day on Byron Walker Wildlife Area. They worked with the Manager to remove feral cedar trees in the area pastures. Six hearty souls donned loppers, axes, chainsaws, and hand saws and removed hundreds of cedars that had escaped our prescribed burning efforts. This work will make mechanical removal of these trees in the future unnecessary, saving the area significant expense and reducing habitat for nest predators. I thank the KMA for their dedication to the management of Byron Walker Wildlife Area. They have provided over a decade of similar work days on the area and it is hard to look far without seeing their fingerprints. I also want to thank Grahm for seeing the notice on this website and joining in Saturday morning!
Coming in 2012-2014!
The Kansas Department of Transportation will be upgrading highway 54 to a 4 lane through the Byron Walker Wildlife Area from 2012 to 2014. With this project, our hunters and fishermen will encounter difficulties with access due to that construction. We ask for you patience through this period! Hunters and fishermen need to understand that there will be significant restrictions on access and normal access points will not be accessible during construction. The construction will result in significant hazards to our users should they try to use historic access points. The entrance to Kingman State Lake will be moved to NW 70th avenue and the entance to the Byron Walker headqarters will be moved to SW 90th avenue. Some access points will be permanently removed! New/improved parking areas will be constructed during this period. During construction, much of the fence bordering the highway will be removed. Unauthorized access through missing fences and the construction site will not be allowed. Vehicles making unauthorized access will be subject to tickets and towing. Hunters and fishermen are advised to use NW 10th street as much as possible for access to the area when significant portions of the highway are closed to side access. If you have questions about access, call the area office at 620-532-3242.
Attention campers and cabin renters!
Some time in November the Kansas Department of Transportation will be closing both State Lake Road and NW 70th avenue and detouring traffic to NW 110th avenue or NW 50th avenue north to NW 10th street for access to Kingman State Fishing Lake. This will be a significant inconvenience for constituents using Kingman State Fishing Lake, but is necessary to facilitate operation of the concrete mixing plant located on NW 70th avenue. Please watch for the detour signs as you near NW 110th eastbound or NW 50th westbound. Individuals driving vehicles with limited ground clearance are advised to use caution coming in to the lake from the east on NW 10th street ( east/west road 1 mile north of 54 highway ) due to it's extremely sandy surface.
Refuge Boundary Changes for 2012
There are two changes in the refuge boundaries on Byron Walker Wildlife Area for this fall. The first is 1 mile north of highway 54 just north of 10th street NW at State Lake Road. The small triangle of ground north of 10th street used to be public hunting, but is now part of the refuge. The second is just west of the headquarters. The west boundary of the headquarters refuge has been extended west to SW 90th avenue to encompass the coming change in access to the headquarters off of SW 90th avenue.
New acres added to Byron Walker Wildlife Area in 2012
As part of the KDOT highway project, 122 acres have been added to the Byron Walker Wildlife Area. Tract 1 is just northwest of the headquarters on the north side of highway 54. Approximately 29.5 acres formerly belonging to the Cole family has been purchased by KDOT to mitigate property taken in the highway expansion. Tract 2, 92.79 acres, is on the south side of 54 highway just east of the former east boundary of Byron Walker, extending the property line further east to SW 70th avenue. Hunters will have to be careful on this tract as KDOT has yet to install the south boundary fence and the property does not extend south to the river. A limited number of boundary signs will be posted to aid hunters in staying on public property.
New Public Lands Regulations Enacted:
In June of this year the Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Commission approved new regulations relating to hunting on public lands. Designed to provide hunters with equal opportunities on limited public lands, the following regulations have been enacted:
- Baiting, and hunting over bait is now illegal on public lands. Bait is considered any grain, fruit, vegetable, nut, hay, salt, sorghum, feed, or other food or mineral capable of attracting wildlife. Liquid scents and sprays are not considered bait.
- Only two portable blinds or tree stands are allowed per hunter on public lands.
- Portable blinds and tree stands must be marked with the owner's name and address or KDWPT number. Portable blinds may not be left unattended overnight on public lands.
- Decoys may not be left unattended overnight on public lands.
- Commercial guides must have a permit to guide on public lands. The permit is free and must be specific to the land where guiding takes place.
Attention Fishermen, boaters, and waterfowl hunters!
Some time in 2002 the aquatic nuisance species (ANS) White Perch were introduced into the lake by unknown means. In the past 3-5 years white perch have had significant reproduction years and now dominate the fish population. Common carp and gizzard shad also make up significant proportions of the current fish population. The game fish population has been largely replaced by these species during that time and this has resulted in increasingly meager fishing success. Fisherman use at the lake in 2011 dropped to about 1/3 of the use seen in 1999.
As a result of these population trends at Kingman State Fishing Lake, the lake was drained and rehabilitated. Starting in August 2012, the lake was slowly drained and the existing fish population eliminated. The lake is refilling and has already been stocked with approximately 6000 Largemouth Bass 6-12 inches and 1500 Channel Catfish 8-10 inches. Bluegill and redear will be stocked in the fall of 2013 with some bluegill possibly being stocked in the spring of 2013. Northern Pike will be stocked somewhere around May or June and more Largemouth Bass will be stocked in the fall. Additional Channel Catfish will also be stocked this coming fall.
As of April 1, 2013, the lake is within 7 inches of being full. The boat ramps are both useable and the entire lake should be accessible to boats. The new brush piles added to the lake while it was down are now being inundated
2010 Projects - New Burning/Grazing System:
New in 2010 we are trying a different grazing system on the area. As with any system, it is good to change things up from time to time in order to not select for or against the various habitat components the same way for too long. The new system is modeled after the Oklahoma State University style Patch Grazing/Patch Burning system. This system utilizes fire to move cattle impacts from unit to unit within a given pasture. Each year approximately 1/8-1/4 of the pasture will be burned in March/April. The cattle will graze that unit heavily due to the grass being most nutritious and free from thatch after the burn. Then, in July/August, another 1/8-1/4 of the pasture will be burned, moving the cattle from the first burn to the newly burned unit. In successive years additional units will be burned in the same pasture until in 3-4 years the entire pasture has been burned and the cattle impacts have been moved across all of the acreage.
The benefits of this system are many. First, there will not be entire pastures burned at one time, leaving large portions of nesting habitat unuseable for 1-2 years. Smaller tracts will be burned, leaving larger nesting components untouched through the nesting season and requiring less staff to conduct a burn. Second, the increased animal impact within the burned units will improve the forb component in that unit for successive years, reducing the need for the disturbance disking that is currently being done. Third, the ungrazed units will have increased cover for game and will also have improved fuel when they are burned resulting in improved brush control. Fourth, this system will result in 8 different stages of succession within a grazing unit after the first full rotation which should take 4 years. This should provide improved habitat for deer, turkey, quail, and other grassland wildlife. This change will also allow the staff to spread the burning acres over two burning seasons instead of one, reducing the impacts of weather, staff shortages, and burn bans over time.
There are also many benefits for the cattle producer with patch burning. First, by late July and early August, cattle are down to grazing forage that is in the 6% protein range. Patch burning in July/August promotes new growth subsequent to the burn that will provide forage with approximately 16% protein, improving cattle gains when they would be slowed otherwise. Second, the patch burning promotes plant diversity, which provides additional nutritious plant species (forbs) often absent in continuous systems. These plants also aid in nutrient cycling in the soil and add nitrogen at higher concentrations than found in traditional grazing systems. Third, for those land owners with Sericea Lespedeza infestations, patch burning sets back this invasive plant and shuts off its chemical defenses, allowing cattle to graze the plant and prevent it from seeding. This is the only method of grazing that has shown the capability to stabilize Sericea populations. Fourth, because growing-season burns provided access to high quality forage during the fall months, the patch burn cows do not need any supplement until the first of January each year. This is in contrast to the traditionally managed cows where protein supplement is provided starting the first of November. Fifth, the spring burning season is often shortened by bad weather or burn bans due to weather. The summer burning season is characterized by more stable weather conditions and burns are less volatile due to green growth. Using the patch burning/patch grazing system, landowners can spread their burning operations over two seasons that offer more burning days overall, increasing their ability to accomplish burning over more acres safely. Other benefits of patch burning include: uniform utilization of forage over the entire pasture over a period of years; ease of checking cattle, deferring grazing before or after burning is not required and livestock can be left in the pasture while burning the next patch; forage accumulated in rested patches is a form of grass banking, which is holding forage in reserve for drought years; and better brush control is achieved because fire in rested patches is more intense than in pastures managed traditionally.
Feral Cedar Control:
Feral cedars (cedars that have sprouted and are growing wild) are a serious problem across Kansas. Byron Walker Wildlife Area has the same problem. These trees often sprout in disturbed places or under existing timber where they slowly grow and increase in density and distribution. For a time, they are good cover for wildlife. However, too much of anything can be bad and this is the case with cedars. From a wildlife standpoint, when the cedars are crowding out other beneficial cover and food types and closing in on 100% ground cover, they have become detrimental to wildlife. In addition to negatively affecting wildlife, these dense stands of cedars are a fire hazard, use valuable groundwater, and produce tons of irritating pollen. In 2010, working with a Kansas Forest Service grant, the staff at Byron Walker Wildlife Area are cutting understory cedar trees that have become a fire threat as well as a problem for wildlife production. Cedars close to highway 54, that would likely aid a wildfire jumping the highway, are being cut and stacked. The stacks will be allowed to dry and drop their leaves for a couple of years, then burned or chipped. The resulting habitat may look thin for a time, but it will eventually fill in with more beneficial plants that will provide better and more sustainable habitat for our wildlife populations. Problem cedars will also be removed outside of the Forest Service project as a normal habitat management activity.
New Water Canal:
A new canal was built in November to take water from the primary water source for Kingman State Lake directly to the lake, bypassing the marshes that usually have to be flooded in order to move water to the lake. This canal should significantly improve our water efficiency during the dry part of the year by bypassing those marshes and reducing tree transpiration of this water, improving the water levels in Kingman State Lake. The associated water control structure enhancement is going out to bid and will be completed in the coming months. This new system should be inplace for use in 2011.

10 benefits of exercise during pregnancy
Where exercising during pregnancy was once taboo, healthy pregnant women are now encouraged to continue a modified fitness program to prepare them for the demands of labour and caring for a newborn baby. For women who have never exercised before conceiving, there's much to be gained from adopting an appropriate exercise program while pregnant, and beyond.While frequent trips to the bathroom throughout the night, weight gain and hormonal changes will often have you feeling frazzled during pregnancy, there are many benefits of regular exercise during pregnancy.
Benefits of exercise during pregnancy
- Lifts your spirits - exercise boosts levels of serotonin, a brain chemical linked to mood, putting you in better spirits.
- Prepare your body for childbirth - labour requires stamina, focus and plenty of determination; the fitter you are, the better equipped you will be for giving birth.
- Reduce constipation - by moving more you'll accelerate movement in your intestine.
- Faster return to pre-pregnancy healthy weight - you will gain less body fat, making it easier to lose the excess kilos once baby is born.
- Sleep better - exercise can assist in managing restlessness and disturbed sleep during pregnancy.
- Maintain a level of fitness - if you were a regular exerciser before falling pregnant, you'll be keen to stay in shape.
- Reduce stress - pregnancy is both a joyous and stressful time, exercise can temper the emotional rollercoaster.
- Reduce pregnancy discomfort - exercise can help manage back pain and strain as your belly grows.
- Improve your self-image - exercise increases the blood flow to your skin, giving you a healthy glow.
- Me-time: - it will be the last time you can enjoy your exercise high without having to coordinate babysitters and sleep times once baby is born.
- Preparation for the physical strain of labour
- Quicker post-labour recovery time
Keep exercise during pregnancy safe by remembering:
- During pregnancy, the way your body responds to exercise is different. During pregnancy, change in hormones, such as levels of relaxin, causes your ligaments to soften and can increase your risk of joint injuries.
- With your belly growing, your centre of gravity will have changed and will affect your balance. This extra weight gain - typically between 10-15 kilograms - puts greater strain on your joints and muscles.
- During pregnancy, your resting heart rate increases making pre-pregnancy heart rate targets during exercise no longer applicable. During the second trimester of your pregnancy, your blood pressure will drop. It is important to avoid activities that involve sudden changes of position.
- Never exercise so hard that you are left puffing and panting - your growing baby needs oxygen and could be put at risk.
General exercise suggestions
Depending on your personal medical advice, some general suggestions include:
- Aim for four exercise sessions per week
- Avoid exercising beyond your current fitness level
- Always begin with a 10-minute warm-up
- Exercise on soft surfaces, such as grass or carpet
- Don't do more than 20 minutes of vigorous activity per exercise session and keep an eye on your heart rate. Aim to keep it below 140 beats per minute or, if exercising in water, below 125 beats per minute.
- Drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise
- Cool down thoroughly for at least 10 minutes
- Include some gentle stretching and avoid bouncing movements
- Wear a supportive bra
- Don't overheat. Wear multiple layers that you can remove, if needed. Natural fibres, such as cotton, will let your skin breathe.
Be guided by your doctor or health care professional before participating in any exercise program while you are pregnant and following childbirth.

Creek lifts 24th trophy
By Buddy Shacklette
DAYTONA BEACH -- There's something to be said for how dangerous a wounded animal can be.
Spruce Creek junior Andrew Mattox had pulled a pectoral muscle last week and wasn't expected to lift Saturday in the Class 2A state weightlifting meet.
Not only did Mattox alter his grip and lift a class-best 360 pounds in the clean and jerk, but it was his surprise jump to fifth-place in the 238-pound class that was the difference in Spruce Creek winning and losing a state title.
Mattox's contribution, and those of six other state-placing lifters, helped the Hawks to an unprecedented 24th state team title at Embry-Riddle's ICI Center.
"Twenty-one points came from six different lifters and Andrew was down on the list," Spruce Creek coach Michael Randow said. "Good night, did he just have the confidence. He didn't want to take a warm-up. He said, 'Just put it on the bar' and it paid off. I didn't realize how big that lift was until after he got it."
Every point was needed from every single Creek lifter, as the Hawks tied Sarasota for the state championship at 21 points apiece.
DeLand, which tied Lake Brantley for third with 13 points, placed in the top five for the fifth year in a row on the strength of back-to-back state titles by Brandon Partin.
Partin, a state champion a year ago at 183 pounds, faced little resistance en route to winning the 199-pound title. He hoisted a career-best 420 in the bench press and got 305 in the clean and jerk for a career-best 725-pound total.
"This was definitely more stressful. Coming into this year I was way nervous," Partin said. "I had a lot more pressure coming in as a state champion because I was expected to win, so it was definitely more stressful."
Flagler Palm Coast placed 12th with seven points thanks to its first state champion in 238-pounder Robert Paxia, who won with a 725-pound total.
Volusia/Flagler accounted for a pair of individual state titles and five runners-up.
DeLand got a state runner-up in Juan Gonzalez at 119 pounds, and New Smyrna Beach got one in Wade Downs in the 169-pound division.
Scoring major points toward the Hawks' cause were state runners-up Michael Stephenson (129), Morgan Kain (154) and Cody Wolfe (199).
The Hawks have had only one individual state champion over the last five years, but won three team titles during that span on the strength of 18 runners-up.
A nice surprise for the Hawks was the effort of Spruce Creek's Vernon Ramsey. The senior ranked sixth going into the 139-pound competition, but scored three team points when he placed fourth with a 470-pound total.
Creek got points from Travis Zalewski (183) and Kirk Crandall (119), but Mattox was the big surprise. Mattox surprisingly lifted 300 in the bench press and his first attempt of 360 pounds in the clean and jerk got him the two points his team needed to tie for the title.
"(The injury) took about 10-15 pounds off my total, so I just knew that I needed to come and get it in the clean and jerk," Mattox said. "I just threw it on the bar and the most I had ever clean and jerked before was 340. Coach said I needed to do it to win us state, so I said, 'All right, let's do it.' "

Sailors capture their first state title
They tie powerhouse Spruce Creek to share championship as Chas McLeod sets a state record in the bench press with lift of 475 pounds
By Bill Lumpkin
DAYTONA BEACH — All week long, Sarasota coach Ron Colangelo wrote 22 points on the blackboard. It turns out 21 was good enough as the Sailors won a share of the school's first-ever Class 2A state weightlifting championship Saturday at Embry-Riddle University's ICI Center.
"These kids rose to the occasion," said Colangelo, as Sarasota scored 21 points to tie 23-time state champion Spruce Creek. "It's an awesome feeling. This was an away game for us. To win on the road like this speaks volumes for our kids and the program. We spread the wealth today."
Sarasota picked up individual state titles from Kris Slimick in the 139-pound class and Chas McLeod in the 219-pound class. McLeod also broke the state record in the bench press with a lift of 475 pounds. The previous record was 465 pounds.
"I'm happy with the record, but winning the state championship is awesome," McLeod said. "Words can't express this right now. It makes it even better that we came in here in Spruce Creek's backyard and won in here. It's just an awesome feeling."
McLeod was hardly challenged in his weight class, despite missing on three of his six lifts. He had lifts on the bench of 465 and 475, then missed at 480.
He got 300 on his first attempt with the clean and jerk, then missed at 330 on his second and 350 on his third to finish with a total of 775. Second-place Trenton Richardson's total of 680 was 95 pounds behind McLeod's winning lifts.
Slimick won the 139-pound class with a total of 525 pounds, winning by 20 pounds over Jupiter's Adam Woytkin. He had a bench of 260 and a clean and jerk of 265.
"This is the third time I've been here and I really wanted this," Slimick said.
Sarasota's previous best finish was runner-up in 1994.
The Sailors also got points from Luke Spencer's third-place finish in the 238-pound class and Jonathan McPherson's fourth-place finish in the 199-pound division.
Spencer had a bench of 355 and a clean and jerk of 330 to finish with a total of 685, still 45 pounds shy of second-place Hunter Joyer of Wesley Chapel. McPherson had a bench of 355 and a clean and jerk of 270 for a total of 625, also finishing 25 pounds behind third-place Jacob Ciccarello of Winter Springs.
"Spruce Creek has been so good for so long," Colangelo said. "They've had a dynasty in this sport. To come in here in their backyard and win like this, I'm so happy for the kids and for my coaching staff."
Riverview's Pete Marron won an individual state championship in the heavyweight class with a 795 total. He had a bench of 455 and a clean and jerk of 340.
Riverview finished in a six-way deadlock for ninth with seven points. Port Charlotte was in a four-way tie for 16th with five points while Venice was in a six-way tie for 20th with four points. Charlotte was in a three-way tie for 26th with three points and Manatee finished in a five-way tie for 33rd with one point.
Booker, Lakewood Ranch, North Port, Palmetto and Southeast didn't score.
Other area medalists included Venice's Paul Costanzo with a third-place finish in the 169-pound class; Charlotte's Brandon Lieb with a fourth-place finish in the 119-pound class; Port Charlotte's Harry Rohraff with a fourth-place finish in the 129-pound class; and Manatee's Robert Smith with a sixth-place finish in the 238-pound division.

River Ridge's Russell Takes Fourth Place At State Meet
By Larry Bug
DAYTONA BEACH - The 265-pound clean and jerk was no ordinary lift for River Ridge High's Justin Russell.
Russell's successful lift meant that the junior had a 580-pound total and earned him a fourth-place medal in the Class 2A boys state weightlifting meet Saturday at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
The lift left Russell thrilled.
"I don't even care what place that is," Russell said immediately after he knew it was a clean lift.
The River Ridge High junior had a 315-pound bench press.
Wesley Chapel High's Hunter Joyer finished second in the 238-pound weight class. The 14-year-old freshman had a 445-pound bench press and a 275-pound clean and jerk for a 720-pound total. Flagler Palm Coast's Robert Paxia beat Joyer by five points with a 725-pound total.
Weightlifting at the state meet is a matter of not just lifting a bar but also blocking out any nerves that can be overwhelming, especially for first-time state lifters. Just ask any lifter who scratched and lost any shot at a medal.
Russell then had a 235-pound clean and jerk. He scratched on his second lift, a 255-pound effort. The bar hit his Adam's apple and left him a little dizzy. He then executed a 265-pound clean and jerk to give him a 580-pound total.
"I am actually extremely happy," Russell said. "Fourth place. I'm happy. I always hit my Adam's apple. I literally knocked myself out. I wasn't nearly as nervous. Clean and jerk is a crazy lift. You have to be on top. Actually, I dropped my first clean and jerk. As soon as I got the first clean and jerk, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders."
His coach was both happy and relieved.
"He's actually fallen in practice," Coach Mike Marlin said. "Justin had a decent day. You have to be on that day. The top four in the state in your weight class, you can't be unhappy about that."
Russell has lifted 285 pounds in the clean and jerk. Marlin said he kept his starting total down so Russell would be comfortable.
Wesley Chapel High's Kamran Joyer was ninth in the heavyweight class with a 685-pound total. Hunter's older brother had a 415-pound bench press and a 270-pound clean and jerk.
River Ridge High's Mario Stewart had a 410-pound total to finish ninth in the 129-pound class. Stewart lifted 225 pounds in the bench press and hoisted 185 pounds in the clean and jerk.
In Class 1A on Friday, Jordan Holding of Gulf managed to take home a fifth-place medal in the 129-pound weight class.
Holding injured a finger during an accident at a New Port Richey gym. Despite the injury, he had a 240-pound bench press and a 190-pound clean and jerk. He had a total of 430 pounds.
"It was not good at all," said Holding, who is going to the University of Florida next year. "If they would have counted my clean, I would have gotten second place rather than fifth. I cleaned it. They just had an illegal. I don't know what the judges called."
Gulf High teammate Michael Centanni had a bench press of 210 pounds and a clean and jerk of 395 pounds.
"I'm glad I made it but I could have done more," said Centanni.
The Gulf coach felt sorry that his athletes didn't place higher but was glad they were able to compete.
"Knowing that Holding cut his finger very badly and still came in fifth, knowing that this is the only year he has lifted and he has done so well, fifth in states is very good," said Gulf coach Steve Franks. "Mike Centanni is in his first year of lifting. He didn't do as well as we thought he would. He's got a lot to build on. Next year, he will be in the top five in the state."
Two other Pasco County lifters took home some hardware from the state meet.
Hudson High's Travis Tindell showed up with platinum blond hair and took third in the heavyweight class.
He lifted 385 pounds on the bench and added 330 pounds in the clean and jerk for a 715 total. The state champion, Nick Gardoni, lifted a state record 500 pounds on the bench and had an 815-pound total.
Both Tindell and his coach, Tim White said they were expecting a third-place finish.
Wiregrass Ranch High's Justin Janney was the first lifter from his school to make it to state and took fourth place in the 219-pound class.
"I overcame a whole bunch of nerves," Janney said. "I got my personal best in bench and clean and jerk. I am a junior so I can be back next year."
"He did a fantastic job," Wiregrass Ranch coach Chris Bounnell said. "He completed six out of six lifts. We went up 20 pounds today."

Palatka's Nick Albert retains state weightlifting title
Palatka Daily News
Nick Albert's toughest opponent in his bid to repeat as a weightlifting state champion was Nick Albert.
This had nothing to do with mental conditioning and everything to do with physical conditioning — specifically, making sure he wasn't too heavy to compete in the 119-pound weight class.
He wasn't.
That issue addressed, the rest was easy.
The Palatka High School senior bench pressed 255 pounds and cleaned a personal-best 205 for a 460-pound total that beat his closest competition by 35 pounds in the class 2A state meet on Saturday at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. A year after his victory helped the Panthers win the team championship, Albert was the only PHS competitor on Saturday, but his seven points were enough for a ninth-place tie in the team standings.
Albert graduated from 245 to 255 in his first two benches before scratching at 265. He was good on all three attempts (185, 195, 205) at the clean and jerk. The third, obviously, was the hardest.
"I don't think I could have gotten any more," said Albert, who spent most of the regular season — including last Monday's county meet — competing in the 129-pound class. Thus his concern about making weight.
"I had to cut 10 pounds. I was afraid I wasn't going to have the strength (after losing the weight), but I cut it the right way," he said. "Doing the right diet, giving myself enough time so lose the weight and not having to run myself out, which is very tiring."
By Thursday, Albert was down around 120 and PHS coach Gordon Roberts was convinced Albert would be atop the medal stand in two days.
"There was no question in my mind he was going to win," Roberts said. "(Weight has) been his problem all year. His body's trying to grow and he's been trying to stay in that (119-pound) weight class."
Saturday's triumph came six years after older brother Christopher Albert won a 119-pound state championship for the Panthers.
"He's been helping me throughout the whole time," Nick Albert said. "He was second when he was a junior, so he told me my goal should be to win state twice. I was in the sixth grade when he started working with me."
"His family already knew the sacrifices it was going to take," Roberts said.

Multi-Sport Sullivan Captures Third At 2A State Meet
By Marty Miller
If earlier this year, you would have watched the Springstead boys soccer team during a game, it might have been hard to believe that one of those Eagle players may have a good chance to medal in Saturday's 34th annual Class 2A State Finals Weightlifting Meet.
But for sophomore Steve Sullivan, that proved to be the case as he finished in third place in the 139-pound weight
Saturday at Embry Riddle University in Daytona Beach.
Sullivan totaled 265-215--480 to earn a medal.
Sullivan recently won the Class 2A, Section IV Tournament at Belleview High School when he bench pressed 260 pounds and hoisted 205 pounds in the clean and jerk.
Saturday, Sullivan came in third, 25 pounds behind the second place finisher and 45 pounds out of first place.
"I thought I needed one of my best days," commented Sullivan, a two-time county champion. "In the bench press I did, but not in the clean-and-jerk.
During the bench press, Sullivan made his first attempt at 250 pounds, but then failed to lift 265.
Then on his third attempt, he cleared 265 to put him in third place.
In the clean-and-jerk, Sullivan made his opening two lifts at 205 and 215, but missed his last attempt at 225.
"We were hoping for better," said his coach Mike Garofano. "I was real happy with his totals he got, but he was real disappointed."
Try, try again
Last year, Sullivan last year failed to make the state meet and said that was a big motivating force this year. "I tried working for it last year and I didn't get it.
"This year," said Sullivan, "I came back and worked with a vengeance."
So far in his two years in high school, Sullivan has wrestled and played on the soccer team, but this is the closest he has come to making it to a state tournament.
"I started lifting with the school in ninth grade, but I did it before that, but usually I was just messing around."
One thing that he has changed is the amount of interest his weightlifting has had on his soccer teammates and his coach, Sal Calabrese.
"Coach said he was happy I was doing it and he said to try and recruit other people on the team."
Garofano also said he has had conversations with the soccer coach about lifting.
"He wants his kids in the weight room because we think it can help every sport," recalled Garofano. "Coach Calabrese is looking to do that now after seeing what it did with Steven."
One of the problems Sullivan had at both the section and state meets was a lack of sleep. Friday night before the state tournament, the Springstead sophomore said he got very little sleep.
"It was worse than that. I must have looked at the alarm clock every hour Friday. I didn't get to sleep until 4:45 and woke up at 5:15."
Sullivan also said that going into the state meet, he didn't believe he could compete with the other top lifters.
"That was one of the things I had my doubts about," Sullivan said. "I was waiting for someone on Saturday to come through really strong, but it didn't happen."
Even though he only took a third place, Sullivan said he had a great time in Daytona Beach.
"I was surprised I earned a medal," added Sullivan. "But the tournament was awesome. It's the most exciting meet I ever been in."

King Of The Hill
By Marty Miller
DAYTONA BEACH - All in all, it was a pretty good day for the Hernando High weightlifting team in the 34th annual Class 1A state weightlifting meet held Friday afternoon at Embry Riddle University.
Of the three Leopard lifters at the meet, sophomore Bradly Hill came in with the best finish as he wound up in fourth place at 169 pounds.
The other two Hernando lifters, Chad McGee at 183 pounds and Branden Durham at 119, each had to withdraw from the meet due to injury.
McGee converted his opening two bench press lifts at 295 and 305 pounds, but an injured right wrist started to bother him and after missing his next two attempts, he withdrew and came in 17th place.
Durham also had an injury problem. He made his first attempt in the bench press at 180, but his previously injured right shoulder began to act up and he then missed his next five attempts and finished 14th.
In the 169-pound weight class, the final outcome for third place was decided by how much a lifter weighed.
In weightlifting, if two or more lifters tie with the same combined weight, then the person who weighs less takes the higher place.
On Friday Hill, who weighed 167.3, tied Clint Santiago (166.6) of Harmony, Jerrell Carr (168.6) of Mulberry and Alvin Hinson (168.7) of Avon Park for third with 570 pounds.
Because of their weights, Santiago finished second with Hill, Carr and Harmon in order behind him.
HHS Head Coach Rodney Byrd said that going into the tournament, he believed that Hill had a very good chance to medal.
"I was looking at the totals from the regional meets and Bradly was ranked fourth. We anticipated him getting a little more in the clean-and-jerk, but you know, he did his best," Byrd said.
The state meet also had a lot of coaches concerned because of the close judging on what would be ruled a good lift. And Byrd said that lifters were starting off light to be sure of having at least one good lift.
"That's exactly what happened in the clean-and-jerk," said Byrd. "He started off at 250. Then he jumped to 265 on his second lift and with his technique, he raises his arms and the judge called it a press on his second lift.
"We were going to go 275 on his third lift, but instead we stayed at 265. It was a decent total, but not his best."
In the end, Coach Byrd said that being at the state tournament will do nothing but help his team.
"It went pretty decently, commented Byrd. The kids enjoyed the experience and it was a learning experience for them."

Paxia goes big to claim weightlifting championship
By Andrew Mikula and Buddy Shacklette
PALM COAST -- Robert Paxia went for it all Saturday and with it the Flagler Palm Coast senior made his claim as the school's first state weightlifting champion.
The affable Paxia secured the title by matching his own school record combination of 725 pounds during the Class 2A finals at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's ICI Center. Competing in the 238-pound class, he bench pressed 415 pounds, then ratcheted up to 310 pounds in the clean and jerk on his second attempt.
Fourth in the state in 2007 as a junior, Paxia has been determined all spring with the big payoff coming on the biggest stage. He's been one of the stalwarts in an FPC weightlifting program that's been on the rise the past five seasons.
"This is amazing," Paxia said to a News-Journal reporter shortly after finishing his lifts. "I don't think it's quite sunk in yet."
Paxia got his bench press total on his first attempt, but missed both of his tries at 435 pounds. That put some pressure on him as Hunter Joyer of Wesley Chapel benched 445 on his second attempt.
But the pressure shifted direction with the clean and jerk. While Joyer topped out at 275 pounds on his third and final attempt, Paxia didn't even go in until 285 pounds was on the bar and he made that in his first try.
"I knew when I caught it that it was over. I just knew that (Joyer) couldn't clean and jerk as much as me and that when it came down to it, I could do it," Paxia said.
There were some other lifters waiting in the wings to get within striking distance and Paxia knew he still needed to increase by 25 pounds to top Joyer's total. He did it on his second try, and with only Spruce Creek's Andrew Mattox and Sarasota's Luke Spencer with legitimate shots to top him, Paxia waited until both lifters missed trying to make substantial increases.
Mattox had the best clean and jerk in the weight class at 360 pounds, but he needed to improve by 65 pounds to even touch Paxia and missed both tries at 380 pounds. Spencer, third overall, had enough weight on the bar to tie Paxia, but missed his third try at 360 pounds.
With the match clinched, Paxis elected to forego his third try and enjoy his state title.
A four-year competitor and starter with the FPC weightlifting team, Paxia tipped his hat to former FPC stars Maks Taubin and Binaire Michel. Taubin was the school's highest placer with a second in the 169-pound class in 2007, while Michel established the school records in the bench press and overall combination before Paxia topped them this year.
Paxia's 715-pound total at the sectional competition two weeks ago made him the top-seeded lifter in his weight class going into the state finals.
The 5-foot-9 Paxia weighed in at 226 pounds for the state competition and it's been quite a climb for him. He has battled an assortment of aches and pains, including a shoulder injury and problems with an anterior cruciate ligament to compete.
An all-around solid athlete, Paxia played three years of varsity football, logging time both at fullback and as a two-year starter on the offensive line. Switching from center to guard midway through this past season, he garnered All-Area first-team honors by helping the district champion Bulldogs amass an average of 325 yards per game rushing and 2,464 yards of total rushing offense.
Paxia's title was the height of the Bulldogs' season, which included its share of disappointments. FPC only qualified two other lifters for the state meet in a season where coach Duane Hagstrom was thinking about the possibility of a state title.
While that didn't transpire, Sheldon Ramage did well, tying for seventh in the 169-pound division. Ramage benched 285 pounds and put up 280 on his first try in the clean and jerk for a 555 total, tying Thomas Davis of North Port and Andrew Sanchez of Winter Springs.
Ramage missed on his final bench press attempt at 285 pounds, leaving him at 280. He also missed twice at 295 in the clean and jerk, leaving The Bulldogs, however, lost a competitor and probable placewinner in 119-pounder Christian Cardona. The senior came in half a pound overweight and could not lift.
Cardona, who took third last year at 119, was seeded third headed into the meet. Nick Albert of Palatka repeated as the class state champion with a 460-pound combination, while DeLand's Juan Gonzalez finished second.
