"We lived in Greece when I was little, and my grandmother was boiling this green stuff. It had a very strong smell and did not look appealing ..."
-- Irene Filippou Arvanitis
You might call the lovely Irene Arvanitis a bag lady.
Wherever the longtime Greektown resident goes, she carries bags with her, shopping bags with handles and plain grocery bags.
Just in case she sees succulent greens -- especially dandelion leaves -- growing wild in greater Baltimore.
"Out in the county, by the side of the road, but you have to be careful of poison ivy," said Arvanitis, 55, a medical claims processor for the state of Maryland. Foragers have been known to double-park, and, she confessed, "If I can venture into somebody's backyard, I'll do it."
Trespassing for horta!
"The old-timers in Little Italy did it all the time," said local author Rosalia Scalia, whose award-winning short story "Picking Cicoria" was published in 2007. "You had to be sure not to pick plants that dogs had peed on."
A dandelion is a dandelion is a dandelion but the Italians call it cicoria; the Greeks know it as rathikia.
In Greek, horta vrasta means "boiled greens" from the Latin hortus for "garden." It encompasses a wide range of leafy vegetables, wild and cultivated. In the poorer regions of Greece, particularly during the famine that followed World War II, it meant any greens that wouldn't kill you.
The vaguely bitter goodies include a variety of endive (Belgian and escarole among them, rich in vitamins and minerals, high in fiber and the key to Italian wedding soup), spinach, All-American collards (seasoned with fatback and neckbones), the young and dark green leaves of the beet root, mustard greens, kale (though it can be tough) and the dagger-shaped leaves of the dandelion.
Altogether they are known simply as horta, as in "Hey, Effie, pick me up some horta when you go out to your cousin's farm this weekend."
An international staple of Hellenic culture, horta is eaten in Greece from high society to low; no one in Greece looks down on any food, however humble, if their grandmother made it. It is easily found in Greek restaurants throughout the metro area and many a proud ethnic kitchen from Perry Hall to East Baltimore to Rosedale.
"Zorba's [on Eastern Avenue] has great horta and my mom, of course, who uses kale," said Kaliope Parthemos, a Greektown native and Baltimore's deputy chief for economic development. "When I got older, I was shocked to find out that 'American' kids didn't grow up with friends and neighbors dropping off bags of fresh-picked greens from the side of the road."
Arvanitis, who lives on Ponca Street near St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, has two distinct early childhood memories of horta: one eating and one picking, one in Greece and one in Baltimore.
"I lived in Greece from the time I was 4 to about 6," said Arvanitis, a widow who graduated from Patterson High School in 1976.
While living with her maternal grandmother in the family village of Lachania on the island of Rhodes, young Arvanitis turned her nose up at the horta — not unlike many an American kid faced with a plate of Popeye's secret weapon. So her yia-yia did what grandmothers are beloved for doing:
"She appeased me," Arvanitis said."She folded the [boiled] horta in dough — not phyllo but bread dough — and baked it outside in their brick oven like a spinach pie."
The smell was intoxicating — the scent of fresh bread mixed with a breeze off the Aegean — but still the kid resisted.
"So then she sprinkled sugar on it," said Arvanitis. "And I devoured it."
Sugar-coated horta?
What would the gods of Olympus say?
(At the Sacred Rock of Athens — the Acropolis — they'd ignore the blasphemy to search the ground for fresh mustard greens.)
In a few short years, Arvanitis would not only be eating horta savory and proper — "I acquired the taste of saltiness," she said, "olives and anchovies and smoked mackerel" — but went hunting for it on the grounds of the old Baltimore City Hospitals, now Hopkins Bayview.
"Rathikia is what we went searching for," Arvanitis said of dandelions. "We'd go up to the hospital fields on Saturday afternoon. The leaves had to be a certain length. We'd snap them off and come home with two Epstein's [department store] shopping bags full for the whole week."

Henrico names McDowell as fire chief
Anthony E. McDowell has been named the new chief of the Henrico County Division of Fire, effective Oct. 20. County Manager Virgil Hazelett made the announcement Oct. 10.
McDowell, who has been serving as battalion chief of administration in the Henrico Division of Fire, will succeed Edwin W. Smith, who retired in September after five years as fire chief.
As fire chief, McDowell will oversee a department with 539 employees, including more than 500 state-certified firefighters, and a budget of $49.6 million for fiscal 2012-13.
The Division of Fire provides fire protection and prevention services and is the primary provider of emergency medical services in Henrico. The department manages 20 fire stations and a training facility and covers an area encompassing 244 square miles. It also operates a regional hazardous materials team and provides technical rescue, ground search and water rescue. The Division of Fire responded to more than 39,000 calls in fiscal 2011-12.
McDowell joined the Division of Fire in 1997 as a firefighter. He later rose to fire lieutenant and fire captain before becoming battalion chief of administration in 2011. He holds a bachelor's degree in geography from Virginia Tech and a master's degree in public administration from the University of North Texas. He is a member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, Virginia Fire Prevention Association, Virginia Chapter of the International Society of Fire Service Instructors and Central Virginia All Hazards Incident Management Team. He is certified as an executive fire officer by the U.S. Fire Administration and a chief fire officer by the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

Wednesday April 25, 2012
With the flip of a switch, flooding the Iroquois Amphitheatre stage with lights and sound, Mayor Greg Fischer announced that Iroquois Amphitheater is powering up for its 2012 season!
The historic, 24-hundred-seat, open-air venue, is poised for a strong season, with a schedule that welcomes headliners such as Corey Smith, The Shins, David Gray, Alice Cooper and Rufus Wainwright. Fischer announced today that Seattle-based singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile will join the stellar season lineup, with a concert on August 11.
"Iroquois Amphitheater is quickly becoming the venue of choice for concert promoters looking to bring first-rate artists to our city," Fischer said. "This historic amphitheater is solidly building on its reputation as a go-to place for great concerts, theatrical productions, dance, films, and many other cultural offerings."
While the number of concerts has doubled just since last season, a growing schedule lists an array of entertainment, including a new series, "Iroquois Amphitheater Presents", which offers theater-goers a concert by The Louisville Winds, and a local production of Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. This new series maintains the amphitheater's historic tradition as a community resource and venue for showcasing local programs and talent.
The season kicks-off Sunday April 29 with the "And They're Off!" concert by the Louisville Youth Orchestra. A concert featuring Louisville's own Monarchs and The Ladies for Liberty (benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project), the popular Kentucky Music Weekend, and two free "movie night" series, round out the growing schedule of events and shows planned for the 2012 season.
Fischer also unveiled a new website designed to handle ticketing and event information for Iroquois Amphitheater, set up through Ticketfly, the exclusive ticketing agent for the amphitheater.
The 2012 season will also see the expansion of productions in the amphitheater's "black-box" performing space. Parkside Studio: Inside at Iroquois, launched in 2011, is an innovative conversion of the historic main stage into a smaller, more flexible and intimate theatre space. Available October through April, this 100-seat space creates an opportunity for year-round programming at Iroquois, and is available for rentals.
Since the renovation of the Iroquois Amphitheater in 2003, it has seen resurgence in activity from people all across the community. The state-of-the-art handicapped-accessible theater has a partial roof that protects performances from rainouts and other amenities such as a new stage, expanded concession options, increased number of restrooms and a year-round room for community meetings.

Heard of the 4 P's of Marketing?
Price, Product, Place and Promotion?
Then I am sure you will find the 4 P's of Social Media Marketing ( with a bosweb twist!) just as helpful to focus your marketing efforts
Platform - where are your customers hanging out?
Most likely not in Google+ as yet!
Are they in Facebook, Twitter, Linked In or Pinterest? When planning your social media strategy and how you wish to use these tools to market your products and services, not all platforms are equal. You may find different types of customers are mainly focussed in different areas. You may find you need to use slightly different communication styles in these various platforms.
Which leads to our next P
Personality - who are you and how do your represent yourself in these platforms?
When you speak to your customers via social media, are you engaging them, are you speaking to them like you would face to face? Think about the style and tone of your words and imagery you use. Is this a reflection of your business? Be authentic, social media can tell fakes pretty quickly, so make sure you speak with honesty to build credibility and expand your reach.
And remember have a personality! Don't be too staid and buttoned down in your comments. The social media medium allows you to be more relaxed in your style that a traditional press release. Loosen up people!
Piggybacking - Connect with fellow businesses online
I am not recommending that crazy tagging of unrelated businesses to build up an audience. Again that kind of approach to social media just doesn't work long term. Think about who in your industry, your business community and your circle of friends ( this is social media!) that can be brand advocates for you - and also you for them. Acknowledge and share great content around. There are a lot of resources we can share and as small business owners, it pays to acknowledge those that you recognise as good value and they in turn will recognise you.
One thing to remember with this approach is when you are looking to launch, reach out to those in your circle with a large footprint, the influences and brand advocates who can kick off your project with some well timed tweets, likes and +1's. It really pays to build these relationships overtime.
and the final P
sPontaneity - yes well it's not a P is it!
That's the point! Mix it up, inject some fun. This is the fun stuff in your marketing activities. Remember it is SOCIAL media...

BEAM board to meet quarterly to devise economic plan for Louisville, Lexington
The mayors of Louisville and Lexington, who have created a new economic partnership to grow jobs for all Kentuckians, today named a high-profile group of business and civic executives to form the board of directors for the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement.
The 21-member board includes the presidents of the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville, top executives from Ford and Toyota and leaders of some of the state's largest private employers, including UPS and Lexmark. Lexington businessman Jim Host, who led efforts to build Louisville's YUM Center arena, will serve as chairman.
"We are serious about growing jobs in our state and this board is evidence of that," Mayor Greg Fischer said. "The Bluegrass region already has the assets, including two Ford plants and Toyota plant, to become best-in-world at advanced manufacturing."
Mayor Gray said, "Everyone wants and needs a piece of the economic pie. The problem in Kentucky is that the pie is too small. There are not enough pieces … good jobs with a future … to go around. As Mayor Fisher often says, through BEAM, the state's two biggest cities are combining forces in a new way, turning away from competition and turning toward collaboration, to make the pie bigger."
Gray and Fischer named the board during a ceremony in the lobby of the Kentucky History Center in Frankfort. They noted that it was an historic day because Louisville and Lexington, who are often rivals, will now strive to collaborate, rather than compete.
The BEAM board, which will meeting quarterly, held its first meeting today.
In addition to both mayors, the board members are:
· Jim Campbell, President & CEO, GE Appliances & Lighting
· Dr. Eli Capilouto, President, University of Kentucky
· Scott C. Casey, Vice President, UPS Air Group Legal and Public Affairs
· W. James Host, Chairman
· Wilbert W. (Wil) James, President, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc.
· Jim Lancaster, CEO and Owner, Lantech.com LLC
· Stephen C. Lewis, Director Strategic Planning, Ford Motor Company
· Porter G. Peeples, Sr., President & CEO, Urban League of Lexington-Fayette County
· Robert L. Quick, CCE, President & CEO, Commerce Lexington Inc. (ex officio member)
· Dr. James R. Ramsey, President, University of Louisville
· Joe Reagan, President & CEO, Greater Louisville Inc.
· Mary Pat Regan, President, AT&T Kentucky
· Paul Rooke, Chairman & CEO, Lexmark International, Inc.
· Vivek K. Sarin, President & CEO, Shelby Industries, LLC
· Mark A. Sarvary, Chief Executive Officer and President, Tempur-Pedic International
· Rena L. Sharpe, Vice President of North American Operations, Westport Axle Corp.
· Al Smith, Journalist, Retired Host of KET's Comment on Kentucky
· Keith Stewart, Director of Operations/Site Manager of the Raytheon Missile Systems
· Jody Wassmer, President and CEO, One Southern Indiana (ex officio member)
BEAM's goal is to develop a joint regional business plan supporting the growth of high-quality jobs in advanced manufacturing. With existing centers of excellence in the sector in both communities, including Toyota, Ford, Raytheon, Lexmark, GE, Lockheed Martin and more, Mayors Fischer and Gray believe there is a unique opportunity to create a 'super-region' that can compete on a global scale.
The mayors have secured the support of the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization, which will bring substantial expertise and connections to this task. The project will use Brookings' "Metropolitan Business Plan" framework to develop a comprehensive economic development effort designed to nurture and support manufacturers and their supply chains. The goals: quality job creation and increases in export activity.

Resident was @ CNR for 30 days total: 3/20 through 3/20/2012. She underwent physical therapy twice daily as scheduled during the 8 weeks, and she steadily gained weight, around 10 pounds. Remember, it is up to the resident and/or authorized representative(s) to check all doctors orders and that proper medications are being administered each and every time as directed by the physician. Resident states her rehab experiences were very helpful. The entire staff: nursing, environmental, PT, administration, social workers, and physicians were professional and presented a very caring attitude to all the residents during her stay, allowing resident to complete her visitation in record time. NOTE: It would have assisted the resident's weight gain if some of the meals presented to resident, who was on a soft mechanical diet were, indeed, easily chewed and swallowed. The kitchen staff does an admirable job feeding ~100 residents daily. As usual, it is up to the resident's family to double check the resident's nutritional intake daily. There were two (20 family/staff meetings - one immediately after admission, and one one day prior to disposition, at which time the resident's health/care plan(s) were studied and implemented, with the resident present at both meetings. NOTE: There was an unannounced meeting of the resident's quartersmate and her family in the shared quarters, on Easter afternoon. As we all know, family member meetings should be held in the Conference Room if a resident is sharing a room. This resident did not buzz the nurses' station to complain on Easter afternoon. Facilities are bright, well-lit, airy, free of any detrimental odor. Environmental staff are always available and do their best in maintaining sanitation. New outdoor area for patients to sit and relax was constructed, as well as new hall flooring. There was a Home Visit by the PT staff, at which time we all signed off on the PT Discharge Checklist for Residents Returning Home. Resident was discharged home the next day after the Home Visit, and after the nursing staff completed the Observation Matrix Report, which also lists the medications/treatment orders, a discharge checklist, and ASC Home Discharge Instructions. HOWEVER. The Admissions (A&D) staff should coordinate each and every discharge with the resident and/or receiving party to discuss all payment issues prior to discharge. There is no checklist at discharge for the nursing staff to coordinate with the A&D office as far as payment for the residents' charges while at CNR: self-pay, insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, dual coverage, other. One month after discharge, the resident received a form letter from the CNR Business Office indicating an amount due -- without a letter of explanation (
The facility was dirty. The vent out of the heating unit was half on/half off. If my sister-in-law did not like what was being served for dinner, they would bring her an alternative, and that was sometimes two pieces of bread with a slice of cheese. It was not very good at all. They have rooms available, and they always have beds available there. It was not a pleasant place to be. They were very understaffed, so it is hard to give them a rating when they "
My mothers loves her apartment at however, they do not staff according to levels of care but rather the number of residents. My mother is still a resident at "
I think it is a very good nursing home. The patients are well taken care of there. They are not soiled. Everyone is very attentive to the patients. It does not smell like peat, which is a big issue with nursing homes. A member of my church has had two of her aunts there. They do a lot of extra events. They have an annual beauty contest for the men and the women respectively. It really keeps the residents stimulated; they can do their own little businesses. The residents can make jewelry, toys; etc. They really keep them active, which is really important for a nursing home. They also allow them to have ministers come in once a week for services, which is nice. "
They first came to him at his at his nursing home and started working very quickly."
My mother was cared for much more than in home care. Owners kept me aprised of everything, no matter how small. I could not have cared for her the way they did. Anticipated things before it became a problem."
I contacted this company several times including, phone calls and through their website. In all cases I received no response."
The facility is kept clean and fresh, and so are the patients.
His treatment has included physical, occupational, and speech thereapy, provided daily on Monday-Friday. In our experience thus far, the therapists are highly motivated and show personal interest in their patients.
We have visited at different times on different days, and have been impressed with the staff and the facility. They are cooperative and seem to enjoy their work. The patients are treated with dignity and respect.
The food seems to be nutritional and appealing.

My name is Wes. I am going to write, discuss, question/ complain, and boost about the upcoming and possibly the past season(s) of Mens basketball in the Big Ten. I want to cover everything that the fan, alumni. and student is thinking and talking about and is curious about.
First a little about me. I mean why read my blog if you have no idea who I am. I was born and raised a Hoosier, not a damn Boilermaker. I was taught you played ball hard, smart and tough. I wanted so badly as a kid to wear those candy stripped warmups and play ball for Coach Bobby Knight in Assembly Hall. Alas nature decided to stop my amazing 8th grade growth spurt at 5'6" so eventually it dawned on me my dream as a child would never happen.
Eventually I came to IU right after the 2002 National Championship run with Coach Mike Davis. I spent my early undergrad years wishing Bracey Wright would step up to the free throw line, and chanting AJ MOYE! AJ MOYE! *clap clap clapclapclap* I was on campus when Davis was canned. Saw the the bright future that students saw in CKS (the coach that shall not be named) and experienced the heart wrenching feeling as our team was dismantled and players quit after his firing. (Thank you Dan Dakich, seriously). I was right beside fellow students when we questioned if we should buy tickets when our most experienced returning player was Kyle Taber. I was graduated and living in Bloomington when Coach Tom Crean stood at center court and declared that IU basketball would be back, and that the rest of the nation did not was it to come back.
That brings us to about the present. What you say? I left out Coach Tom Creans first few years? I did not talk about last year? The ESPY award winning shot from last year? Those are things I want to cover in the future. Anyway if you are a fan of B1G Ten Mens Basketball you know the rest of the story.
Well time for lunch, check back the next blog I will be discussing the excitement in the B1G Ten for the upcoming season. But right now I think a pizza and beer are calling my name from a nice little bar at the corner of... Kirkwood and Dunn.

PORT ST. LUCIE - The Port St. Lucie City Council heard concerns from a neighboring city when Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch, the mayor of Sewall's Point in Martin County, came to speak at the Oct. 22 meeting concerning recent storm water activity and the St. Lucie River estuary.
"When there is a large rain event, the Army Corp of Engineers dumps polluted fresh water into our St. Lucie estuary," she said. "All that silt is destroying our seagrasses."
Mayor Thurlow-Lippisch stated the seagrass in the lagoon is currently down to 48 percent.
"It's continuing to die," she said. "If it's anything that we have together, it's these waterways."
She called on the Port St. Lucie City Council to help in river preservation efforts because of the city's status as one of the top 10 most populated cities in the state.
"You carry more real power than anyone in this region when it comes to protecting our waterways," she said.
Mayor Thurlow-Lippisch then announced the beginning of the group "Speaking Up for the St. Lucie," that is working to preserve area waterways. The group currently has a website and Facebook page.
"This is more of a 'living' group, because it allows us to document all the damage being done now," she said. "We then have documentation to show the state."
Jack Kelly, one of the members on the Port St. Lucie council, wanted the group to show its support officially.
"It's about our river, and the flow from Okeechobee," he said. "Everyone on this council realizes this is the greatest natural asset we have in this city. It's a big deal to us."
Councilwoman Michelle Berger said the city has been working for years to keep the waterways in the city as clean as possible.
"It's important to talk about what our city has been doing, and the practices they have established, long before we were even here as a council," she said.
To assist, the city council directed city staff to bring forth a proclamation concerning the protection of the St. Lucie River to be presented at a later date.
The website for more information on the group can be found at http://ap3server.martin.fl.us on the Martin County website. The Facebook page is called Speak up for the St. Lucie.
