Case study
Our client was faced with a number of difficult meetings in which he was expected to implement multiple changes and reforms. He had already led a few of these meetings and they had not gone well so he was feeling more and more uncomfortable as each one came about.
We spent two half-day sessions together during which we worked on listening skills, questioning, building rapport and empathy, energy, awareness of body language (both his and his colleagues') and issues that would arise from the meetings like dealing with conflict. He has since fed back that the sessions have made a huge difference and he is so much more comfortable and confident in these situations.
"The sessions helped me a lot….they added value on how to communicate better with others. I recommend this to everyone….."

The Promise: Full Privacy, Personalised Diet, Tangible Results.
Since day one, I worked privately one on one with patients and helped them to achieve their goals and to reach their target weight. My expertise in listening and strong communication skills played a role in coaching, convincing and goal setting.
A balanced healthy diet is the ultimate diet for everyone. I am a big believer in balanced nutrition. My experience extends from weight management to health cases.
Dieting is very personal to you and to us as it involves emotions, feelings and hardwork. That's why a flexible solution focusing on lifestyle rather than a one time rigid diet is more proper for you.
The personalised diet solutions answer specific needs such as food preference, allergy and intolerance, likes and dislikes, division of meals throughout the day. It also aims to match particular conditions: micro sports nutrition, pregnancy, breast feeding, eating behaviour at school and work, night-shifts, and many others.
In a reasonable short interval of time and after working together on a continuously customized diet plan, you would achieve your goals and harvest the efforts invested in this life changing program. That's the self satisfaction of dieting and the inner good feeling about yourself.

Elizabeth Stewart, BA — PSYCH-K and Gottman Leader
Services offered: Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. As a Coach, I work with individuals to help them gain clarity on exactly what they want; on how they want to FEEL. Essentially, I am a Facilitator of Health and Happiness! Together, we use the energy modality, PSYCH-K®, to transform stress and limiting beliefs at the subconscious level. Change your thoughts, change your life!
"The 'secret to life' is BELIEF. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives." ~ Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief. It is my belief (based on scientific evidence) that all dis-ease is a result of stress (conscious or subconscious). Our body is an amazing communicator and we should be thankful for any aches, pains and conditions as they are just messages. What is your body trying to tell you?
Sessions can be conducted in person at Daylight Healing Center or remotely using Zoom/SKYPE. Both are equally effective!
"What we did in our session gave me a sense of inner strength. It's like the foundation on which I stand is finally firm. Well after our session, I still feel great, centered and strong." ~ Amanda in Washington

She has a gift for finding deep limiting beliefs and bringing them to light in a safe, positive way. Elizabeth is so kind and easy to work with and I am so grateful to her for all that she has helped me with. I look forward to each and every session with her. Thank you, Elizabeth!" ~ Erika in New Hampshire

Election officials propose Thursday start for presidential election recount
State election officials are warning it will be a "significant challenge" to finish by a federally mandated Dec. 13 deadline a recount of the nearly 3 million votes cast in Wisconsin's presidential election.
The Elections Commission will meet this morning on a recommended timeline for the recount, which would start Thursday.
Under the proposed timeline:
*Clerks would have to provide by noon today cost estimates and their method for recounting the vote. The cost estimate would be provided to the Jill Stein and Rocky De La Fuente campaigns by the close of business today.
*On Tuesday, Stein and/or De La Fuente would submit payment to the Elections Commission, which would then order the recount.
*On Wednesday, Elections Commission staff would meet with county clerks and canvass members via teleconference to go over the recount rules and processes.
*On Thursday, the recount would begin with a noon Dec. 13 deadline to wrap up. Elections Commission staff would then prepare the official recount canvass certifications by 3 p.m. that day.
After Stein and De La Fuente filed the recount petitions, the Elections Commission warned local officials may need to work nights and weekends to meet the deadline.
See materials for today's meeting:

THE Supreme Court's landmark decision last week upholding ''preventive detention'' of allegedly dangerous defendants was more a milestone than a surprise. It capped a 15-year trend in which the Court has sided more and more with prosecutors against criminal defendants.
Under Chief Justice Earl Warren in the 1960's, the Court was known for reversing convictions and curtailing the abilities of police and prosecutors to use illegally obtained evidence and interrogate arrested suspects. Now the Court is frequently reversing lower courts that give a broad interpretation to defendants' constitutional rights and the Warren Court precedents that expanded them. While relatively liberal on such civil rights issues as affirmative action, the Court is increasingly unreceptive to civil liberties claims by criminal defendants.
In its current term, the Court has ruled for the prosecution in 19 of the 27 criminal law decisions. In 16 of the 19, it reversed pro-defendant decisions by state or Federal appellate courts.
In last week's preventive detention case, United States v. Salerno, the Court overturned by 6 to 3 a decision by the Federal appeals court in Manhattan striking down as unconstitutional a 1984 Federal law that for the first time authorized pretrial jailing of certain defendants deemed likely to commit future crimes.
Prosecutors have also won the three other major criminal law decisions this term: a decision upholding Georgia's death penalty system despite strong statistical evidence that killers of whites are far more likely to be condemned than killers of blacks; a ruling that sharply cut back a 1982 decision that had been widely viewed as barring use of the death penalty against any defendant who neither killed nor intended to kill, and a holding that evidence found in an unconstitutional warrantless search may be used if the police reasonably believed at the time that the statute authorizing such searches was valid.Continue reading the main story
While the Court has not flatly overruled major Warren Court decisions expanding defendants' rights, as Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d would like, it has sharply limited both their rationale and their reach. The Court's approach to Chief Justice Warren's 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona is illustrative. That decision required police officers to inform arrested suspects of their rights to remain silent and to have a lawyer present, and barred questioning once such a suspect has requested a lawyer.
In 1984, the Court carved out a substantial exception from these rules, holding that ''overriding considerations of public safety'' could justify immediate questioning of suspects without first telling them of their rights. And in four decisions during the current term, it overturned rulings broadly interpreting Miranda and related rights. Making Exceptions
The Court has similarly narrowed the once-absolute ''exclusionary rule'' that evidence obtained in unconstitutional searches may not be used in criminal trials. After chipping away at it for years, the Court cut a hole in the rule in 1984, holding that prosecutors may use evidence obtained by police in reasonable reliance on a search warrant later held to be invalid.
This tough-on-crime approach reflects the fact that the Supreme Court in the long run is affected by public opinion, mainly through the Presidential appointments process.
The public has long been unsympathetic to civil liberties arguments that make it harder to jail criminals. The preventive detention law that the Court upheld last week, for example, was part of a broad election-year anti-crime package that passed in 1984 by votes of 95 to 1 in the Senate and 406 to 16 in the House, despite passionate opposition by libertarians who see preventive detention as a step toward a police state. All five of the appointees of
Presidents Nixon and Reagan on the Court voted to uphold the law. This was no accident: Both had taken a tough stance against crime as candidates, and both openly sought to use their appointments to change the Court's direction.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, appointeed by Mr. Nixon and elevated by Mr. Reagan, wrote the preventive detention decision. In the 27 criminal law decisions this term, he has voted against the defense in all but two, which were minor and unanimous rulings.
Also voting to uphold preventive detention were Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Antonin Scalia, both Reagan appointees; Justices Harry A. Blackmun and Lewis F. Powell Jr., both Nixon appointees, and Justice Byron R. White, President Kennedy's only appointee, who has drifted to the right in recent years. Excepting only Justice Blackmun, all have cast the overwhelming majority of their votes with the prosecution.
At the other end of the spectrum, Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall, the Court's most senior members, vote for the defense in almost every criminal case. They dissented from the preventive detention decision, Justice Marshall declaring it ''truly a decision which will go forth without authority, and come back without respect.'' Also dissenting was Justice John Paul Stevens, who was appointed by President Ford and who often but not always sides with the defense.
In most 5-to-4 decisions in criminal cases, those three and Justice Blackmun are the dissenters. Once in a while one or two of the others, though almost never Chief Justice Rehnquist, will join them to form a majority for the defense. Such a case was last year's 6-to-3 ruling, written by Justice Powell, that prosecutors may not exclude blacks from juries based on speculation that they would favor defendants of their own race.
In the biggest cases, however, the prosecution almost always comes out on top, and the dissents are increasingly bitter.Continue reading the main story

An ambitious plan to curb carbon emissions proposed by President Barack Obama and opposed by more than two dozen states, including Nebraska, has been put on hold by the United States Supreme Court.
The court has not ruled on the merits of the plan by the Environmental Protection Agency, but has prevented the EPA from putting its plan into place until legal issues are resolved.
The states involved in the lawsuit contend the EPA has overstepped its Congressional authority in issuing orders that states submit plans to shift away from fossil fuels to alternative forms of energy; what many regard as a direct aim at coal-fired power plants that many in the Midwest, including Nebraska, rely upon.
President Obama's press secretary issued a statement:
"We disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to stay the Clean Power Plan while litigation proceeds. The Clean Power Plan is based on a strong legal and technical foundation, gives States the time and flexibility they need to develop tailored, cost-effective plans to reduce their emissions, and will deliver better air quality, improved public health, clean energy investment and jobs across the country, and major progress in our efforts to confront the risks posed by climate change. We remain confident that we will prevail on the merits. Even while the litigation proceeds, EPA has indicated it will work with states that choose to continue plan development and will prepare the tools those states will need. At the same time, the Administration will continue to take aggressive steps to make forward progress to reduce carbon emissions."
Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson praised the decision.
"In the state of Nebraska, our public power entities have been proactive in recent years in developing ways to reduce carbon emissions, including developing several alternative, renewable energy sources. The EPA's Rule change would disregard these efforts and exceeds reasonable standards," Peterson said in a written statement released by his office.
Gov. Pete Ricketts also applauded the ruling.
"The decision by the Supreme Court to halt the implementation of the Clean Power Plan until a legal settlement is reached is important for Nebraska industry and ratepayers to prevent rate increases. I applaud Attorney General Doug Peterson's continued work to defend Nebraska against EPA overreach," the governor said in a written statement released by his office.

It probably seems a little odd starting with a review of Universal Studios on when that other park down the road is our main focus. Well, we've been to the four main Disney parks in Orlando, and our perspective hasn't been that of a wide-eyed first visit in a while. We did, however, make our first visit to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure recently.
I'm going to start with the booking process. As a travel agency, we of course worked through a slightly different channel than would be available to the public. Even with that, the booking experience can be a little overwhelming. Three parks, multiple options for each park, some options included with certain hotels but not others, resort hotels and partner hotels, it really was a lot. I cannot say enough, if you book a Universal vacation, get some help. Use us, use a friend with experience, use someone. Otherwise, you may end up spending more than you need to, or missing an option you needed. We settled on the 2 park, 3 day ticket, staying at the Royal Pacific Resort. Because we stayed here, the Unlimited Express Pass was included with our stay. Additionally, since we were staying at an on-site resort, we could get into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at 8 am.
I should tell you before we move on to the hotel, that I am not a hotel connoisseur. When I am theme parking, I want four walls and a clean room. Next to that, I want it convenient to the park. So, let me just say that the rooms were kind of plain, which is fine, but the common areas were spectacular. The Pacific Island theme was ever present but not overwhelming. We spent some time two nights at the pool, which was not overcrowded, and definitely had a "family" feeling. My only complaint is that we were placed in the furthest room from everything except the dog walk, which, of course, meant we were on the hall with all of the barking dogs. I will request to be somewhere else next time. We were about a ten minute walk from the parks, and were able to pass through a small, off to the side security area that got us trough in seconds with no line.
Check in was very smooth. Compared to Disney though, it leaves a bit to be desired. Our last couple of Disney trips, we never went to the check in area. Everything was done through the Magic Bands, we checked in online, and the only thing we had to keep up with was the Magic Band on our wrists. At Universal we checked in and got our room keys, then we went to another desk and got our park tickets (paper card). Lastly we went to a kiosk and picked up our Express Passes. Unfortunately, all three of these cards are needed at various times of the day. Obviously you need your ticket to get in. Then you need it to board the Hogwarts Express since you change parks. You need your room key to get in early if you take advantage of early entry to Harry Potter. Then you need your express pass to get in the express lines. Even pre-Magic Band, Disney had managed to get most of that on one card. One important thing of note: Many rides require you to leave all of your personal belongings in a free locker before you ride. There are ride attendants standing at the entrance reminding you to take everything out of your pockets. LEAVE YOUR EXPRESS PASSES IN YOUR POCKETS. Some of the rides have express entrances that are not easy to see, and we missed the opportunity at least once because we locked up our passes. I highly suggest getting a lanyard and clear envelope to put all your various cards in.
So day 1, we set out for Islands of Adventure. We started around 8, and had ridden about everything before 4, despite a long period of rain that shut down much of the park. We started with Harry Potter, which I will come back to. The highlight for me was either the Dragon Challenge, or the Forbidden Journey. For the 11 year old daughter, it was undoubtedly The Hulk. Or maybe Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges. Or maybe even the Storm Force Accelatron, or "the teacups on acid ride" as I like to call it. Either way, she had a blast, even if the park did seem to be a little smaller than I expected.
Day 2, Universal Studios. I have to say, I think I enjoyed it more than Islands of Adventure. For one thing, it seems much larger. All day long, we kept finding more and more to do. There were far more characters here to snap pictures with, even if some of them (Beetlejuice) were a bit out of date. I spent a good amount of time explaining Beetlejuice, E.T. and some of the others to my daughter. Of course she spent a little time explaining "Minions" to me. Something to note here: In two days, only one time did I get frustrated with the lines. The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. I have ridden many rides, and this ride has one of the best designed load queues I have ever seen. Great design, abysmal implementation. Even with the express pass we waited nearly an hour.
Let's talk about food. Probably the fewest options I have ever seen in a park. The only place of note we ate in the park was the Classic Monster's Cafe. Great food, and a ton of it. The rest of our meals in the park were kiosk vendors. Now, out of the park, I have to say a word about the Red Oven Pizza Bakery. I love Pizza. A good friend and co-worker turned me on to Neapolitan Pizza. If you haven't had it, it's phenomenal, and Red Oven is one of the best I have had. I cannot recommend it enough.
OK, so I have saved Harry Potter for last. Apparently, I am the last person on Earth who has never read a Harry Potter book, or seen a movie. Or at least I was. I listened to the first book on the trip home, and watched the movie when I got there. This was not the proper order at all. If you are going to Universal, take a couple hours and watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone before you go. What they have done here is absolutely amazing. First a little explanation. There are two Harry Potter related areas, one in each park (yep, if you want to see it all, you have to pay for both.) The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is located at the back of Islands of Adventure. It has a three rides, and will strike you as being typical of themed areas of parks, however it is done more completely and better than I have ever seen. That is of course until you hop on the Hogwarts Express and head over to Diagon Alley. From the moment you step into it (it's well hidden, we had to ask) you are in a different world. Once I saw the movie, I was even more amazed at how faithfully it had been recreated. It is truly an amazing spectacle.
One last thing….Butterbeer. Frozen butterbeer. I had no idea what butterbeer was….still don't know. Except that it is good, and it won't get your kids drunk. Did I say it was good?
So, all in all, do we recommend Universal. Yep. How do we recommend we plan your trip? That's a tough one. There are so may variables here, from day of the week, age of the kids, budget, so many things. All I can say is, give us a call and we will walk you through it. Doesn't cost you anything extra, and may save you a fortune in the long run!!!

Dear friends,
Last Tuesday, February 9, I had the honor to perform with my musicians at the Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the "Accademia Italiana Della Cucina" Delegation of New York, at the beautiful and super exclusive Metropolitan Club in Manhattan.
The "Accademia Italiana Della Cucina" was born on the 29th of July of 1953 founded by Orio Vergani, with the task of safeguarding, together with the traditions of Italian cuisine, the culture of the civilization of the table, lively and active expression of the entire Nation.
He was motivated by passion, by experience, and by a profound faith in the cultural, historical and human values on which a country's civilization of the table and gastronomical culture are based. And from then on, the activity and history of the Accademia have never ceased to pursue the principles. Today, at a distance of fifty years, the Accademia is more solid, active, vigorous and important than ever.
In 2003, the Minister for Cultural Affairs even recognized the well documented cultural merits of the Accademia by granting it the denomination, "Cultural Institution", thus placing it amongst the largest and most important Italian cultural organizations, working intensively for the valorization, research and broadening of knowledge about the Italian gastronomical culture.
The Accademia is organized in territorial Delegations - up to today 205 in Italy and 67 abroad, counting approximately 7.000 associates altogether.
And I'm proud to say that I'm a member of this Italian Cultural Institution since 2001.
Admission to the Accademia is subordinated to a period of attendance. Admission is decided, upon proposal of the competent Delegate of the correspondent region, by the President of the Accademia, following an attentive scrutiny of the moral and personal requisites of the candidate.
For me the Accademia has been a perfect way to meet so many wonderful friends and to engage friendship with fellow "Accademici" around the world. When an Accademico moves to another Country or City, will move from one Delegation to another. I became a member in the Delegation of Utrecht, in Holland, then I was transferred to the one in London when I moved there and since 4 year I belong to the Delegation on New York.
Being a member of the Accademia is an incredible great honor as you can imagine, and has brought into my life so many great people who like me share the loves for the Italian Culture. Even if I promote Italian Culture around the world with my music, I'm convinced that cooking is in fact one of the most profound forms of expression of a nation's culture: it is the fruit of the history and life of its inhabitants, a history which differs from region to region, from city to city, and from village to village.
Every month the members of each Delegation around the world gather together for a dinner, called Symposium. It is the task of the Symposiarch, chosen each time by the Academicians of each Delegation, to organize the Symposium. The Symposium, basically a dinner, represents an occasion for the investigation and supervision of the condition of public catering and Italian Restaurants. In fact, the Symposiarch chooses a restaurant in the territory of his own Delegation, proposing and agreeing with the chef on a menu, chosen with extreme care and according to very precise criteria.
By means of a detailed evaluation form, the participants to the Symposium will express their judgment regarding the chef's capacity of interpreting the menu, the quality of the products used and the combinations with the wine, the hospitality and reception of the restaurant and regarding the ratio between price and quality.
A report of the "Symposium" will be published on the Accademia monthly Magazine "Civita' della Tavola", where each Accademico around the world can read about the Accademia's activity, but also of topics of a cultural and gastronomical nature are regularly discussed. Each Accademico get this publication every month.
The Accademia published also every year a Restaurant Guide entitled "I Ristoranti dell'Accademia". The guide, which is unique in its kind, highlights and grades the best Italian Restaurants around the world.
So no matter when I go I can always find the best authentic Italian Food!!
When the Contessa Francesca Baldeschi Balleani, the Delegate of the New York Delegation, who's become a dear friends and a great supporter of my music, invited me to perform at the Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Accademia of New York and to sing for my fellow Accademici, I was of course very much thrilled.
The black tie event was very nice and cozy and the food was, as usual, above expectations. The chef, who cooked for 150 guests, was the famous chef Lucio Pompili, from the Restaurant Symposium from Serraungarinam of the province of Pesaro and Urbino. He and his staff brought all the ingredients from the region Marche, who was the sponsor Region for this special celebration.
I had the honor to be guest of the Metropolitan Club for the celebration. So I got there early in the morning, to a beautiful huge suite with view on Central Park on the 5th floor of the beautiful Metropolitan Club building. After lunch I went to Federico Salon to do my hair. Around 4 Pm I did the sound check with my musicians and around 6Pm I met with my make up artist Piera in my suite.
Around 7Pm it was time to wear my gown and the fantastic jewels from Alex Harris, A. Harris Jewelers Since 1851.
At 7:30Pm was time to get down to the first floor to the fantastic reception where we could taste so many fantastic appetizers and mingle with all the rest of the distinguish guests.
At 8:00Pm was time to move into the dinner room so elegant and beautiful with a view to Central Park from those big windows.
The Celebration started with the National Anthems: first the American sung wonderfully by famous baritone Marc Watson and then the Italian sung by me. Always-such a great honor and such an emotional moment.
On the menu:
Parmantier con uovo fritto al tartufo nero d'Inverno (a delicious little cake of potatoes with eggs and black truffle)
Pasta Artgianale marchigiana con beccaccino pettinata di caffe' e cacao riduzione a goccia di lacrima di Morro d'Alba (a very tasty home made pasta from the Marche's region with snipe made with cacao and coffees cream from Morro d"Alba…the pasta came in a glass single jar and each guests had to shaker the pasta and the sauce together and purr it on the plate….it was fun!!)
Tagliata di Lombo di Toro Marchigiano con Olio al rosmarino- Bandiera di Verdure- Tortino di Patate e cipolla Bianca (cut of loin of bull of Marche, with oil and rosemary – vegetables- and cake of potatoes and white onions).
After the "Secondo" was served it was my time to perform with my musicians: show time with 5 songs : Love Story- Io che Non Vivo Senza Te- Tell Me When- La Vie En Rose- and Caruso.
Since among the guests many where "Accademici" and dignitaries from Italy. My talks were mix of English and Italian. So much fun!!
And then Dessert:
Carota sottoterra – dolce-salato dedicato a Francesca (this was my favorite dish: a sweet marzipan carrots with chocolate truffle dedicated to Francesca, the Delegate of the Delegation of New York the Contessa Francesca Baldeschi Balleani, who had put together such an impressive event ).
After the Desserts was served was time for the honorees to receive their Accademic awards: to receive the awards where some outstanding Italians Restaurant of New York: Barbetta 1906, Falai, Gino 1945, Le Cirque and Il Gattopardo, great journalists Pamela Fiori, Mimmi Sheraton, and Luisanna Messeri. writer Giuliano Bugalli and grocer Lou Di Palo.
Around midnight the fantastic Celebrations where almost over. What a great night of Celebration of the Italian Culture and Food!! I got to meet so many new interesting people and old friends. The President of The Region Marche has officially invited me to be his guest this summer at the beautiful "Sferisterio" during the Opera season!! Can't wait for that!!
It was time to go to my beautiful room while the snow was starting to slow coming down. I woke up in the morning and the vision was incredible: New York's Central Park was completely white!! I went to the 6th floor for a fantastic breakfast on the restaurant, which has a breathtaking view on Central Park and the City! What a fantastic beginning of my day!!
And then my car arrived and was time to go back home with so many new wonderful memories.
My great friends and great photographer Alex Kroke was the official photographer of the night! Thank you Alex for this great pictures!!
Stay tune for my next week blog when I will take you to the beautiful Amalfi Coast and share with you memories and tips of this wonderful place of Italy.

Do you ever feel like the world is moving too fast around you? Ever wish you could bring things back to center or find a balance? Enter: yoga.
Yoga is often misinterpreted in our western culture. While it is incredibly useful as part of a fitness and muscle toning routine, there is so much more to the practice than just targeting muscle groups or increasing flexibility.
Yoga means one-ness, and that truly sums up what a practice in the art of yoga does. The benefits of yoga are vast and available to everyone, regardless of skill or prior experience. Yoga helps on every level, physical and beyond. Besides learning how to target and control individual parts of your body, the practice of yoga helps to control and regulate your breath.
It is often said that "if you can control your breath, you can control your mind." This is why yoga often helps people experiencing feelings of overload and anxiety- the practice of yoga teaches you to move your body with your breathe, to direct your breath to match your movements, and to truly feel what your body is doing and saying.
Take for example, a member who is an avid golfer but was recently experiencing back pain and painfully tight hamstrings- it took some convincing, but he tried a yoga class, and then started to attend regularly. This golfer got his game back; he found a solution to his back pain challenges, increased his flexibility, and soothed his anxiety, all at the same time. We encourage members often- you're never too old or too young, and you don't have to be flexible to give yoga a try!
Besides the physical benefits of practicing yoga- there are many additional ways a regular yoga practice can benefit your health and wellness journey. One of our yoga instructors, Chastity Garcia, says that when she began practicing yoga she immediately realized that she was able to sleep better. It was much easier to fall asleep because she understood how to quiet her mind from the busyness of the day. That quiet-ing lasted through the night and she slept soundly and woke up more refreshed. Convincing your mind to rest, or even back down from a frantic pace, is so important in the busy race of our daily lives. Imagine how different your day could be if you understood how to calm your mind when faced with stressors or anxiety- you could face challenges from a more logical perspective, it would be easier not to yell at the kids for fighting (again), white-knuckling it through a traffic jam wouldn't be necessary, the list could go on…
And though our list of benefits is by no means complete, lastly, yoga helps you to hear and understand what your body is doing. You learn how to interact with your body- to understand where pain is coming from, to avoid foods that make you uncomfortable, to feel if you are getting sick before you actually do, to truly care for yourself. We know that YOU know to take care of yourself- that's why you care about fitness, and why you're reading this blog in the first place. Yoga is a way for you to discover your body's needs and attend to them.
If you've ever been curious about attempting yoga, we encourage you to give it a try. See if it is right for you. Remember, you don't have to be perfect the first time- that's why they call it "yoga practice." 🙂
We wish you good health,
~Columbia Basin Racquet Club

South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (SSSFT) is one of the first Trusts in the region (and the only one in Shropshire and Staffordshire) to sign up to Step Into Health, a programme which supports veterans with finding second careers in the NHS.
Following a successful pilot, NHS Employers has taken on a national roll out of the programme which helps prospective service leavers and veterans see the potential for a second career in health.
The national public launch of the programme, attended by HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, took place in London on Thursday 18th January 2018.
Two representatives from the Trust were invited to attend. Alyson Sargeant is Head of Recruitment and Resourcing and is the partner of someone who served in the Grenadier Guards for 22 years. Martin Evans, Associate Director of Communications is himself a RAF veteran. Both were officially presented to the Duke of Cambridge and had the opportunity to talk to him about their own personal experiences and transitions into civilian life and how they were hoping to support the programme.
Managers at SSSFT recognise the transferrable skills, knowledge and experience that veterans can bring to the workforce and are keen to support them. Chatting to the Duke of Cambridge, Alyson Sargeant commented that her role is in breaking down the barriers that some veterans may face when looking to work in the NHS and although the Trust has only recently signed the Pledge, they are well on the way to establishing a 'buddy system' so those finding the transition difficult will have the experience of a veteran to assist them. As part of its commitment to the Step Into Health programme, the Trust advertises its vacancies directly to the armed forces and will be looking to organise insight days and work experience placements.
Martin was able to share his experience of RAF Shawbury with His Royal Highness and speak about how he moved from the armed forces into the NHS. He said; I am one of a number of armed forces veterans who now work in our Trust and I was proud to represent them at this launch. The Duke of Cambridge was very engaging and interested in how we can attract veterans to work for us".
Leading on the programme for the Trust, Alyson Sargeant says "In the current NHS climate, workforce supply and skills shortages are high on everyone's agenda, but it is also important that we connect with our local community. By pledging our commitment to the Step Into Health initiative we can tap into talent from the armed forces community, not only the veterans but their families too, which can help with these challenges. And at the same time we are supporting people who have served their country to have an easier transition back into civilian life".

Travel Information
Before Travelling
Kingston is the main cultural centre of Jamaica. There are two important institutes which can be visited: the African Caribbean Institute (ACIJ, on Little North Street) is involved in research into African traditions in Jamaica and the Caribbean; the Institute of Jamaica (East Street) has historical sections, including Arawak carvings, the National Library...
West to Falmouth
Continuing west along the coast is Runaway Bay, an attractive and friendly resort. It is named for the Spanish governor Ysasi, who left quickly for Cuba in a canoe when he saw the English coming. Only five miles away is Discovery Bay where Columbus made his first landing. The Columbus Park, an outdoor museum, has exhibits and relics of Jamaican history....
The Road to Mandeville
On the south coast past Black River is Treasure Beach, a wide dark sand beach with body surfing waves, it is one of the most beautiful areas on the island. It is largely used by local fishermen as it is the closest point to the Pedro Banks. There is one small grocery shop and a bakery. A van comes to the village every day with fresh fruit and vegetables....
Spanish Town
Spanish Town, the former capital founded in 1534, some 14 miles west of Kingston (bus from Half Way Tree and from Orange Street ), is historically the most interesting of Jamaica's towns and in desperate need of funds for renovation. Its English-style architecture dates from the 18th century. Well worth seeing are the Cathedral Church of St James, the...
East to Savanna - La-Mar
About 18 miles east of Negril, on the coast, is Savanna-la-Mar, a busy, commercial town with shopping, banks and so on, but no major attractions for tourists. It does not have a good beach, nor good quality restaurants and accommodation. Regular concerts are held at the remodelled St Joseph's Catholic Church, T9552648. Talented local musicians play under...
Port Royal
Port Royal,the old naval base, lies across the harbour from Kingston. It was founded in 1650, captured by the English and turned into a strategic military and naval base. Merchant shipping developed under naval protection and the town soon became prosperous. It also attracted less reputable shipping and in 1660-92 became a haven for pirates such as Henry...
Roads into the Interior
Between Port Antonio and the Buff Bay area there are several roads into the interior from such places as Hope Bay and Orange Bay. It is worth a detour if you have a car, but well off the beaten track and public transport is minimal. However, just to the east of Buff Bay is Crystal Springs with beautifully laid out gardens, a variety of fish in the clear...
Port Antonio
Once the major banana port where many of the island's first tourists arrived, on banana boats, Port Antonio,dates back to the 16th century. Its prosperity has for many years been in gentle decline and it is now run down, but it has an atmosphere unlike any other town in Jamaica with some superb old public buildings. It is an excellent base from which to...
Ocho Rios
On a bay sheltered by reefs and surrounded by coconut groves, sugar cane and fruit plantations, is Ocho Rios. The town has become very popular, with many cruise ships making a stop here. It is 64 miles east of Montego Bay and claims some of the best beaches on the island. The beach in town is safe and well-organized with facilities, 200 yds from Main Street...
The North Coast
The Kingston to Port Maria road (the Junction Road) passes through Castleton Botanical Gardens (in a very tranquil setting, well worth a visit, ask Roy Bennett to be your guide if available). The journey takes about two hours and there are plenty of minibuses. Port Maria itself is a sleepy and decaying old banana port but not without charm and lots of goats...
Negril, on a seven-mile stretch of pure white sand on the west end of the island, is far less formal than other tourist spots but is still a one-industry town. The town is at the south end of Long Bay; at the north is the smaller Bloody Bay, where whalers used to carve up their catch. The Negril Area Environmental Protection Trust (NEPT) hopes to have the...
The capital is one of the largest and best natural harbours in the world. Following the earthquake of 1907 much of the lower part of the city (Down Town) was rebuilt in concrete. On the waterfront there are some notable modern buildings including the Bank of Jamaica and the Jamaica Conference Centre which also houses the National Gallery. Most of the new...
The Cockpit Country
This is a strange and virtually uninhabited area to the south of Falmouth and to the southwest of Montego Bay. It consists of a seemingly endless succession of high bumps made of limestone rock. The tourist office and hotels in Montego Bay organize day trips (about US$50) to Maroon Town (no longer occupied by Maroons) and Accompong, the headquarters of the...
Black River
Black River is one of the oldest towns in Jamaica. It had its heyday in the 18th century when it was the main exporting harbour for logwood dyes. The first car imported into Jamaica was landed here. Along the shore are some fine early 19th-century mansions, some of which are being restored. At Black River, you can go by boat from across the bridge up the...

One, normally, feels that they begin 'walking towards death,' once their age gets around 30. Your body begins to bother you. You begin to walk slower. You can not run as long. It takes longer for your body to 'recover.' Your memory is not as good. You become less flexible. You stop growing. Your body becomes more brittle. It's harder to lose weight. Your body doesn't 'break-down' food as much, etc. Does some of this sound familiar.
Yet, you have learned more, hopefully. You have seen more. You have experienced more. You have 'been through' more (I say 'been through' because you are still alive to read this). Because you have 'been through' more, you have taken away more of Death's sting. You have gained more loved ones. You have experienced more right, and wrong, ways to do things. You have gained more wisdom. You have gained more knowledge. You have gotten more spiritual, etc.
Now, this looks like a sporting event, when you really look at it, Physical vs. Mental. It seems that, as you age, you are physically going towards death, but mentally going towards birth. I feel that if your physical is, suddenly, decreased during your life and you are still here, it's just one more point that Mental has scored over Physical. This is the true meaning of the statement, 'That what does not kill me only makes me stronger.' Your body is only rented. When your lease is up, ask yourself, 'Did I increase the value of my mind?' Or, did you LET Physical win the game. Unlearn.

GRAPHIC: Tragic Accident Causes A Woman to Lose BOTH of Her Legs! pic.twitter.com/AI5BnG3XSJ
— M.SlickIsEverywhere (@msiseverywhere) November 29, 2016
A horrible accident in Nigeria caused a woman to lose both of her legs. According to a Facebook post a container fell on the woman after a drunk driver lost control of his rig. The writer of the post also suggests that truck drivers should have their own routes. This seems to indicate bad roads are partially to blame for this unfortunate accident as well.

A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that he would not become anything in life.. Today the world knows the boy as 'ALBERT EINSTEIN'
A candidate for a news broadcasters post was rejected by officials since his voice was not fit for a news broadcaster. He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never be famous...Today the world knows him as 'AMITABH BACHCHAN'
The list is endless....
The paths of numerous success stories are bereft with such accounts of failure or disillusionment. But what make their endings different are the lessons they learnt from these experiments. Through each of their tribulations, they gained strength and confidence to start afresh and eventually emerge victorious....
Failure is one of the toughest things to deal with and it happens so frequently in life. It could be simple things like missing out on the top position in the examinations or loosing in a race or failing in an academic year. But the way an individual reacts to each of the instances is what defines the intensity of the failure. While some way may take it up as a challenge and move on to overcome it, some may wallow in self-pity, lose their confidence and succumb to it. The underlying fact is that success is the result of bouncing back during times of discouragement.
When Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said,"I never failed one. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process." Edison used discouragement as a stepping stone to achievement. Each failure was a challenge to try harder. He achieved his goal because he had a vision that motivated him. It does because he had a vision that motivated him. It does not matter how many years a person spent in classrooms or what people around have to say. What is required is your own motivation to achieve your goal. Failure feels so bad because it directly affects our ego.
In today's world, the race of cut-throat academic excellence has changed the parameters of defining success and failure. What you perceive as failure need not necessarily be one. Such instances make us realize that we need to make our children understand the true dimension of failure. It is the way you shape your destiny and conquer each step in life that conquer each step in life that determines your success. Remember the time when as an infant you were learning to walk and each time you fell, you would just get up and try again... So, what's stopping you today?

A Belfast principal who opened his school during Wednesday's adverse weather has said it was not an easy decision to make.
More than 280 schools across Northern Ireland shut their doors amid heavy snow, forcing thousands of parents to find alternative childcare arrangements.
There was mixed reaction from parents on social media, with some speaking out in support of the schools that took the decision to close.
Others, however, felt that the spell of wintry weather did not warrant such a move and felt many principals were being unduly cautious.
One person wrote: "I feel schools should be closed, for safety of staff and children. Don't go out if you can avoid it. Education isn't much good if you are in a crash, hurt badly or even worse killed."
But another posted:"There's not even enough snow in Crossgar to make a snowball, yet I had to walk out of work and lock up as my daughter's school closed."
One school which did decide to stay open despite the weather conditions was Orangefield Primary in east Belfast.
Principal Ernie Long told the News Letter that the decision to open as usual was not taken lightly.
"Each school has their own individual circumstances and I felt it was feasible to open our doors," he added.
"Most of my teachers are local and live within a radius of five or six miles. That being said, I thanked each and every one of them when they came through the doors.
"However, making the call to open a school when there is adverse weather is a risky one. There is always a danger you could end up with egg on your face.
"You don't want to be in a position of ending up having to send the pupils home because staff are not able to make it in, or phone parents at work to tell them to come and pick up their children.
"But the way I see it, if you don't open the school you are putting a lot of parents at a disadvantage by forcing many of them to arrange childcare at the last minute.
"You are putting yourself out on a limb really no matter what you do. It is not an easy decision for principals to make and they don't do it lightly.
"By the same token I think parents have a lot of faith in principals to make the right call and will stand by the school in whatever decision is made."
Former education minister Peter Weir said principals are often in a very difficult situation when it comes to determining whether a school should remain open during periods of heavy snow.
He told the News Letter: "It is difficult to second guess the decision made by principals as each school has its own individual circumstances.
"It is up to the judgment of each principal as to whether they feel it is right to open or not.
"Principals always want to keep their schools open if possible and sometimes they can get it wrong, but the situation is often beyond their control."
While he said he understood the frustration of some parents who were forced to make last-minute childcare plans, the DUP MLA said it is the case that principals are often in a "no-win position".
"If they ignore the bad weather, open, and something happens to a pupil or member of staff, then schools are often castigated for not taking a different approach," the Strangford Assembly member added.
"We need to have sympathy for the people taking these decisions rather than criticising them."

Chevrolet Sales Up 3.8% in February Behind Silverado, Colorado
Chevrolet had yet another monster month, posting its best February in seven years and climbing 3.8% year-over-year with 159,788 units sold in the United States. The biggest reasons for this, as you might expect, are trucks and SUVs.
Leading the way for Chevy, as ever, was the Silverado. Chevy's full-size pickup was up 24% with 45,395 sales, good for its best February mark since 2007. The Silverado's minute sibling, Colorado, added an impressive 6,563 sales to the mix. According to J.D. Power PIN data, the average Colorado has about a 15-day on-lot expectancy before it gets bought up, meaning it sells at least twice as fast as the average vehicle.
Also having big months were the Equinox with 31,723 sales; Cruze with 18,301 sales; Malibu with 13,971 units; Traverse with 9,705 sales; Impala with 9,065 sales; Tahoe with 7,410 sales; and Camaro with 6,373 sales.
The new Trax has another good showing in February, claiming 3,821 sales for its best-yet mark and brining its to-date sales total to 5,660 units.
Through two months, Chevrolet has 302,670 sales in the US, which is a 10.9% improvement over the 273,002 units sold through the first two months of 2014.

Don't Wait Until After The Holidays To Start Getting In Shape!
We've officially entered holiday season! Halloween candy in October, Thanksgiving feasts in November, Christmas cookies in December, Valentine's Day chocolates in February...our bodies — and willpower! — are certainly put to the test when it comes to food and healthy eating during this time of year.
No need to feel guilty, though. Just work it off! Whether you've been working out consistently or just starting, this workout will help you tighten up and look your best.
This workout consists of exercises that are meant to be done with a challenging weight and few repetitions. The heavy weight, low rep program helps your body burn fat more efficiently, builds lean muscle and speeds up results.
You don't have to worry about bulking up because your body won't be under tension for an extended period of time. The longer the body is under tension (10-15 repetitions) the more muscle breakdown occurs which results in a bulkier look. Fewer repetitions with heavier weight will get you that toned, lean look without adding mass.
Pre-Holiday Shape Up Workout
You'll need two sets of dumbbells: one set for lower body moves (30-40 lbs), one set for upper body moves (20-30 lbs). Perform the entire routine five times through, and repeat 3-4 times per week.
Split Squat
Stand with right foot forward and left foot back, toes pointed straight ahead and hold the heavier set of dumbbells by your sides. Deeply bend both knees until right knee is directly over right ankle and left knee is hovering just above the floor.
Press through the balls of your feet to extend legs to straight. Keep shoulders down with shoulder blades drawn together, chest up and core engaged.
Repeat the movement. Perform six reps with your right foot forward, then switch and perform six more with your left foot forward.

Repeat the row, keeping your body still with torso close to parallel with the floor and hips back. Perform six reps.
Goblet Squat
Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold one of the heavy dumbbells at chest height with both hands, elbows bent and drawn in tight to your sides and chest up the entire time.
Bend knees, shift hips back and lower down until thighs are close to parallel with the floor. Make sure to never round your back. Hold this position for 20 seconds.
After 20 seconds, drive through the balls of your feet to come back to standing. Perform six reps.
Bicep Curl
Stand with feet hip-width apart. Take a slight bend in both knees and hold the lighter set of dumbbells by your side. Bend your elbows and draw the weights toward your shoulders.
Extend arms back to straight and lower the weights down to your sides. Repeat the movement, keeping torso upright and core engaged the entire time. Make sure your shoulders are directly over hips. Perform six reps.

Is Iran the Real Target of Saudi Oil Inaction?
At this time last year, oil was trading just above $100 per barrel. Today, Brent crude is selling for just $49 per barrel, a staggering 50 percent drop that's put producers around the world under pressure. Saudi-led OPEC hasn't intervened to stop the price slide, choosing instead to weather the bear market. The Times of London reports:
"Saudi Arabia is burning through its foreign reserves at an unprecedented rate as it struggles to cope with plummeting oil prices and the soaring costs of waging war in both Yemen and Syria. […]
Many observers believe that Saudi Arabia has brought the oil crisis on itself by refusing to curb production to drown out competition from fracking by the US. As a result, the price has fallen from $104 a barrel a year ago to less than $50 now, and the effect is reverberating around the world — from the slums of Caracas to the battlefields of Syria and Iraq; from the Russian Arctic to the Pearl River Delta in China."
Nobody outside the house of Saud knows what the future plans of the oil rich kingdom are, but there are some good reasons why it may be less likely to cut production (thus raising prices) than some think. True, the Saudis are fighting two wars. They also need to appease their public, and they have had to borrow money from the bond markets. But none of that means they are about to break.
The main reason for thinking they might keep production high is that the primary target of the Saudi attempt to cut oil prices—or, maybe, more accurately, Riyadh's refusal to shore up those prices—isn't those pesky U.S. frackers; it is Iran. The Saudis figure that keeping Iran from making windfall profits on oil is the best way to keep the pressure up on the country. Moreover, the Saudis may be figuring that U.S. foreign policy will change in January 2016. They are probably hearing from Democrats close to Hillary that a Clinton administration will take a higher profile in the region—they know that she, like Secretary Gates and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, thought that President Obama's failure to stand up to Assad in Syria was a major blunder. And as long as the GOP nominee isn't Rand Paul or Donald Trump, a Republican president would also take a tougher line against Iran and its allies than the current team.
So the Saudis may be thinking that if they can maintain their current strategy for 17 more months, there will be light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, they will stick to high production levels to keep as much money as possible out of the hands of the mullahs, and they will continue spending—even if that means going to the bond markets. Interest rates are at historic lows these days and the Saudis are good credit risks. If you have cards, why not play them?

Watch out. Beware. Benevolent sexists are everywhere. Hiding under v necked t-shirts and cargo pants shorts, these are shining wolves in sheep's clothing. These creatures smile, grin, positively beam with friendliness, but do not be deceived, theirs is a lurking game. Yes, sweatshirts are their thing: their casual wear, their home clothes. Sweatshirts with logos, band names, possibly even punk protests. In the summer they come out in droves, populating playgrounds and parks, flexing their muscles as they toss their kids into the air. Theirs is a fathering of the interactive kind: football, rounders, basketball, Frisbee, for THE TWO WHOLE MANIC HOURS they do it in the 168 hours that make a week. These are the ones with tussled hair, faces grizzled with one-day growth for the weekend. They are pub brunches, walks along the canal, woollen jumpers and comic hats. They are prepared to look after their children, they are proud in public to look after their children as they stride around: "I CAN DO IT" their faces cry, "I can talk like an adult to my children. I am a GOOD man."
They even do the baby-sitting (fancy that – baby-sitting your own kid!) every other week. They like to give the wife (yes, they like wives, they prefer wives to girlfriends: it proves they are real men, men who can commit and let's not analyse it further); they like to give the wife a night off. They support her, they support her career, they respect and hold her in high regard, like an interesting object, as they calmly overlook the burden she carries, the scurrying around as she papers over the cracks, filling the gaps with sisters, grandmothers, friends. Anyone will do.
Anything's possible for these sexists, as long as it doesn't interrupt their capital flow.
Capital trumps all.
They vote Liberal, do green things like buying expensive food and recycling. They bake bread, drink beer and love compost. I don't know why. They hold the door for you, and sometimes even other men too. But they never kiss them, the other men, because that could be disastrous. It will be a bear hug, a firm but friendly shake of the hand, because you know you can tell the strength of a person's personality by the purchase of his grip (or something).
They will pay for your drinks, your meal too, they will pay for everyone. But beware this is not money spent freely but with the eye of calculated chivalry, generosity not of the thankless kind, but there to buy its way out of other peoples' principals. Those heavy meals are the silent violence that shouts out, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".
These young professionals profess progress but live in horror of where that might leave them, for the moment pleased that no one has noted their tokenism, as their small conservative voice, their internal monologue emerges, transformed and edited down, the creed catechized to family, hearth, home and hard work. This is a shoring up of assets and an accumulation of capital held safe and declared clean, as love of wife, care of child: a narcissism displaced, as Freud would say, to His Majesty the baby.
In the winter these softies consume culture, with nuance and sensitivity, with diligence, determination and the damn hard work of the A grade student they probably were. These are not the philistines, the brokers, the smokers and drinkers, the strip club visitors we might expect of their kind. They may make big bucks, but they don't show it, and they sure can appreciate culture. Culture approached with a checklist, an armament of references to be gathered and gleaned, bought out shining and polished, with crockery and lamb stew at dinner.
These are sentimentalists and sloppy thinkers; the pseudo Romantics who enjoy life viewed from an angle that asks nothing of them. Theirs is a morality learnt, not felt, passed down by generations of Abrahamic religiosity, most recently Christian in its flavour. It recognises oppression manifest by others, never of its self.
Beware the benevolent sexist my friend; beware.

Hello SOTGC community,
As I meet and talk with numerous businesses daily, I have to be honest, sometimes I do run into things that make me shake my head. It does seem to me that many costly mistakes could be avoided simply by taking a step back and thinking things through.*
To my thinking, it is so wonderful that we have entered a business era where educating has become such a large part of so many business models. I have been saying for years, "An educated client is a profitable client for years to come." Teach them what they need to know and do, and help them get the results they seek, and you will both win.
I am ecstatic that my organization is currently producing recorded educational seminars, which will be available for us to share with individuals and organizations. What a value it will be–after all, we've been in the same business for 43 years and have learned a couple things along the way.
That said, I have heard some really peculiar things taken as truth lately simply because they have been offered up in an "educational seminar." In a recent example, someone suggested that if a company or individual owed you money you could not collect, a stellar idea might be to write it off and then report it to the government as income for that person or company so they have to pay taxes on the loss.
I just simply don't see the value or logic in that thought. First, the abused creditor willingly agrees to a 100% loss and then provides the offender the gift of a 70% discount for their disrespect. Beyond possibly the fleeting emotional high of striking back at an individual or organization that has treated you unfairly, there's really not much of an upside for the creditor. As far as I can see the only winner here is the deadbeat debtor. Presumably not even the common good will be served because it is doubtful a body unwilling to pay a justly agreed upon debt is going to be overjoyed at the sight of an extra tax bill.
Believe it or not there are better options available. And I would assume virtually all other solutions are researchable online. And that search could tell you a lot. I was looking for an alliance partner recently and ran across a firm with a specialty in one of my markets. The website looked professional and the offerings seemed of value. Unfortunately, I had to work diligently through many other sites to even figure out ownership. Regrettably, what I uncovered was an organization less than a year old with exactly one person affiliated with it. And he turns out to be a registered sex offender with multiple aliases. Yipe.
And on that note, I think it might be fun if you, dear SOTGC readers, might be willing to share some favorite bits of wisdom passed on to you. Have you run into any really valuable ideas and/or resources that have helped you run a more profitable business in a big way? Will you share? Please, I am not so much asking for advertisements of specific products or services but rather ideas offered up that made sense and have worked for you. Of course feel free to offer source credit where appropriate.
To our fiscal health,
* I make that statement at the risk of angering sales professionals with very short sales cycles (my industry included). I am not suggesting in any way, shape, or form that you paralyze yourself from making logical decisions that need to be made. I am suggesting simply pausing just long enough to consider these two things: first and foremost, does your proposed business ally have a reputation that makes it logical they are offering you solid wisdom backed by experience? Second, does the thought from start to finish make sense from every angle? Recommendations from satisfied customers can also prove to be invaluable.

Judge Fields fighting to keep Kincaid golf course open
February 6, 2018 - 6:20am Falmouth1
Ed Salerno, Reporter
Judge Fields wrote, "Our intent in this lease would be for several years and would include not only the course but also the clubhouse, all related golf equipment and both golf specific maintenance and storage facilities. In turn we would sublease this facility to a qualified developer which would operate and maintain the course on our behalf."
Judge Executive David Fields shared with the court at a Special Called Meeting on February 1, 2018 that what he hoped was a good arrangement for the purchase of the golf course at Kincaid Lake turned into an unfortunate disappointment.
Fields, along with the help of several other individuals in the county put together a proposal for the purchase of the golf course by an individual and submitted it to Frankfort back in October 2017. The people he spoke to in Frankfort assured him that the proposal was a good one and that they would contact him in three months. Frankfort also told him that under no circumstances was he to contact them.
