Dickey's BBQ Pit
Select your Location!
Dickey's Barbecue Pit prides itself on authenticity, innovation and barbecue sauce, one store at a time. With roots in Dallas, Travis Dickey set out to perfect Texas-style barbecue.
In 1941, Travis Dickey opened the first Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Dallas, Texas. Space on the restaurant's sign was rented out to help pay the start-up costs for the restaurant and the menu was limited to beef brisket, pit hams, barbecue beans, potato chips, beer, bottled milk and sodas. Brothers Roland Dickey and T.D. Dickey, Jr. took over the business in 1967, continuing their father's legacy of quality, hickory-smoked signature meats. Under the direction of Roland and T.D., Dickey's Barbecue Pit expanded throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area and became a staple in North Texas culture.
The loyal patrons are what keeps Dickey's thriving in every community. Barbecue is a regional cuisine in mostly southern states, but Dickey's Barbecue Pit is changing that one restaurant at a time. As it continues to expand from coast to coast, customers are wooed by the home-style flavor and family friendly atmosphere.
Recently Dickey's introduced the first menu change in 50 years with Spicy Cheddar Sausage. Originally created as a limited-time option, Spicy Cheddar Sausage debuted nationwide in February 2011 to rave reviews and recently became a permanent fixture.
Today, Dickey's serves up beef brisket, pulled pork, ham, polish sausage, turkey breast and chicken, with an extensive array of home-style sides from jalapeno beans to macaroni and cheese. Buttery rolls are served with every meal along with complimentary ice cream and dill pickles. Every location still smokes all of their meats in the restaurant—the same way it was done in 1941, without any shortcuts.
The Texas-based franchise is committed to exceptional barbecue at a great price.

Position Paper Guidelines
The position paper is a brief and concise description of a state's, international organisation's or NGO's position and priorities for a given committee. The position paper allows delegations to plan their course of action before the meeting by taking into each countrie's positions on the topics to be discussed at the conference.
Once the position paper is completed and sent to the chairpersons of the committee, it allows them to give you useful feedback for further preparation.
It is mandatory for all delegates to write a position paper.
Please pay careful attention to the following guidelines when drafting your position paper.
Each delegation should submit one position paper per committee on the topics to be discussed at the conference.
On the top left corner of each position paper, write the name of your committee and then the name of the delegation you represent (i.e., Member State, NGO, or International Organization) in bold and centred on the page.
When saving your position paper, use the following formula: Committee's abbreviation, Underscore, Delegation.
It is not necessary to put your name anywhere because you will be known throughout the conference by your delegation's name rather than your own.
Your position paper should take into consideration the SG's report on each topic that has been assigned to your committee.
The first sentence of a position paper uses the following formula: "The issues before (your committee's name) are: (list all the issues you are discussing in your position paper)". Number the topics (in accordance with the draft agenda of your committee) and write their title in bold.
The position paper covering each topic assigned to your committee should contain the following elements:
• A general sentence in the beginning clearly stating your country's position;
• A succinct policy statement for each topic representing the relevant views of your assigned delegation (state, NGO, International Organization);
• An elaboration of your position that includes one or more of the following: quotes from the UN charter; agreements/resolutions your Member State has ratified; quotes from statements made by your Head of State, Head of Government, ministers, delegates to the UN, and any other relevant international documents;
- References to your Member State's past experiences with the topic – if applicable;
- Recommendations for actions to be taken by the committee; and
- A conclusion restating your country's position on the topic;
Please cite any relevant statistics, quotes etc. in an accepted scholarly citation format.
Do NOT use the first person in your position paper. Instead simply use your delegation's name or alternatively expressions such as "our government", "our country", "our nation". Long essay type position papers presenting a nation's history or background information on the topic are not useful. A simple and concise overview is best.
Writing Instructions
Length: Position papers must be a MAXIMUM of ONE PAGE PER TOPIC. (Font: Calibri, Size: 11) If your committee only has one topic, you can extend the position paper to one and a half pages.
Please EMAIL your position paper to your committee chairperson AND everyone else in your delegation as well
Language: Position papers will be accepted in both English and French. If you are submitting a position paper in French, please also submit a copy in English.
For questions concerning position papers, your committee or your topics, please contact your committee chairpersons directly.
Position Paper Awards
In the spirit of creating a cooperative and friendly environment essential for fostering constructive discussion, debate and consensus-building, the Global Model UN will not feature any best delegates' awards. However, there will be position paper awards.
Your Position Paper will be read by the Chairperson of your committee and rated on a scale of one to ten (1 worst, 10 best), following these criteria:
Does the Position Paper follow the guidelines closely? (Including formatting, style and structure)
Is the position paper comprehensive, addressing all issues on the draft agenda?
Is the country accurately represented?
Is the paper focused on a clear position? Are there any creative ideas proposed for action?
Does the Position Paper integrate a regional/sub-regional/bloc perspective in its proposals for addressing the topics or in finding meaningful ways in which to address the key concerns of the Committee.

Despite averaging 18.7 points a game, dishing out 5.8 assists a night and ranking third in the league with 2 steals a game, Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings was passed over for a spot on the NBA All Star Eastern Conference roster. The reserves for the game were announced on Thursday night. Jennings has helped lead the Bucks into playoff contention at the halfway point of the season with a 22-18 record. Getting the nod ahead of Jennings were Jrue Holliday of Philadelphia and Kyrie Irving of Cleveland. Jennings badly outplayed Holliday on Tuesday night in a Bucks victory but he is averaging 19 points and 9 assists a game for a team that is 17-25 on the season. Irving is averaging 23.7 points a game for the Cavaliers who are next to last in the Eastern Conference at 11-32. Jennings and Iriving will go head to head in Cleveland Friday night. The All Star game is set for February 17 in Houston.

- Love el Catrin!LauraVIPDined on 9/19/2014We love this place and love that it's open later than lots of other spots. It was jammed with people when we got there. The music was wonderful but WAY too loud! But it was Friday night.......Special Features:
- Birthday GatheringOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/19/2014Great atmosphere! Loved the decor ! Server was very helpful ! Food was ok! We were all waiting for the chicken tacos but as the server brought it to the table there was a distinct smell! We all had a taco to try and were very disappointed it just didn't taste like chicken and there was something in it that just didn't taste good! Food I thought was pricy for the small portions! A bit to much of Mexican fine dining or gourmet MexicanSpecial Features:
- Great Food, location and service.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/18/2014Highly recommended Place. Food is great and that have a very nice selection of cocktails and desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mexican food disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014I can't find a good Mexican food joint in Toronto! El Catrin showed promise, the ambiance was nice, the location quite good, the wait staff were friendly, but the food missed the mark. It wasn't bad, but didn't hit the spot. The drinks were awesome, dessert was tasty. The hallmark of a good mexican restaurant for me are the nacho chips - El Catrin disappointed - fat, oily, and not very tasty. The appetizers are small... ...will I go again, probably not. P.S. I did try only the vegetarian fare, perhaps the meat fare is betterSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!leilaDined on 9/15/2014The food was just soo good! We ordered the Mexican Independence Day tasting menu and everything was delicious. Our waiter said a new menu is being introduced later this month featuring the best received items from the tasting menu and I'll definitely be going back to have it all again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't wait to go back!'MargaritaQueenDined on 9/13/2014One of the best tapas Mexican places I've ever been to (I've been to many all around the world) awesome atmosphere, they made a simple dinner reservations into a full night out. Loved it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bday night outTrishDined on 9/12/2014Great... Just a little overpriced.. I think the dishes should be more around 10$ not 15$Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All of the nomswannabemexicanchickDined on 9/12/2014If you're looking for fantastic food and something a little extra special, El Catrin is the perfect place to go. The drinks are phenomenal, the guacamole is impossible to stop eating, and every last food item on the menu is undeniably delicious. You won't be let down. The ambiance is pretty much magical and you'll want to take at least one photo. Indoor or outdoor it doesn't matter. This place is beautiful, the servers are always kind, and the food is amazing. Need I brag any more?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- myopenkitchenOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/12/2014The baja taco was great - crisp and light batter outside, fish that's moist and clean-tasting inside. The salad and the compressed watermelon didn't disappoint as well. Loved the decor and ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way too loudOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/11/2014We had a really hard time talking over the noise. The place is cavernous and it would be so much better if they had some dividers or panels to baffle the sound. I really wouldn't go back for this very reason. The food was also overpriced for Mexican food.Special Features:
- AWESOME!cabooDined on 9/10/2014The food was absolutely amazing. Staff were very friendly. Cool/hip decor/ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice night outScubapatDined on 9/10/2014Good food. Good service. Easy entertainment in the distillery district. Compared to others in the area. One of the better onesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousMelakaiDined on 9/7/2014Great, fun atmosphere. Amazing food (lamb and shrimp bucket were may favourites). Energetic. Prices are a little high for the plate sizes. Be prepared to,order a bunch of items and share. Mango margaritas are fantastic!!Special Features:
- Beautiful place! HORRIBLE service!CLCBDined on 9/6/2014The service was absolutely horrendous! A server approached our table after 20 minutes, told us she was at the wrong table and left! Returned a few minutes later to take our order. Forgot to put half of it in - it arrived seperately! Brought us flat pop. Spilled sauce all over the guy at the table beside us - NO apology. We gave him our napkin to clean his pants! Tried to clear our plates when we were literally in the middle of eating! They still had food on them!! Such a disaster! Too bad because the guac is amazing!! Service needs some serious work for such a busy place! Maybe the quality servers are only on the patio! This was also on a Saturday night!!!Special Features:
- Party in DistilleryErezDined on 9/6/2014We decided to give this one a try. And it was a blast. We got there early for our reservations but we started off with some drinks in the line. We got some amazing staff that took care of our drinks in a pinch. Then the food started to arrive. The Fish Taco is the top of the pick, everyone needs to try it. The shimp taco is also a winner. The 24 Hr beef rib was heaven and the list goes on. Oh and the "Bucket of Shrimp" is a Bucket.. The only thing I could say was the "HOT" salsa was not so hot.. they need a serious hot salsa for the serious heat freaks. The place is amazing inside and out. They did a great job converting the old Tank House to the new flare. Great JOB. Ill be back soon.Special Features:
- Fantastic food and ambiance!zeedeeDined on 9/6/2014This was my first (definitely not my last) time dining at El Catrin. The venue is beautiful and has an energetic vibe. The menu consists mainly of tapas/sharing plates. The food was very tasty but the portions were a little small (even by tapas standards) for the price. The menu offers a lot of variety, so looking forward to trying something different next time! Due to the fact that it was very busy, it took us a little time to get the attention of our first waiter. We also had three different servers during the course of the evening which was a little confusing, but not a deal breaker.Special Features:
- A nice night outlunaysolDined on 9/6/2014Good but expensive. We opted for the 9 course tasting menu and with drinks and tip our bill was around $200. The food is great but there are a lot of mom and pops Mexican places in Toronto that offer food just as good at a more affordable price. The inside is decorated spectacularly and this is definitely a must try -but in terms of quality of the food, I can't say I'll be back.Special Features:
- Amazing atmosphereFunnyboyDined on 9/3/2014Fantastic service really friendly staff! Christine was amazing... Love the atmosphere and the whole vibe of the place. Although everything I tried was good, the portions are very small, so you need to order many dishes to have a proper meal. Margaritas were out of this world. Highly recommend them....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing place!Torontosnowbird1VIPDined on 9/1/2014El Catrin has amazing food, nice ambiance and wonderful service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey hip MexicanRicoAvocadoDined on 9/1/2014Mexican street food is not supposed to cost $50pp yet it does at El Catrin. It is very good, and a good spot, but there are other places in town that provide infinitely more bang for the buck.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/31/2014Service slow to start but very good once started. Food was very good by any standards and excellent by the standards of Mexican restaurants in Canada - but pricey. Excellent list of different Tequilas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rodhDined on 8/30/2014Great service, great staff! Our server was amazing! Thanks to host staff for noticing I mentioned it was my wife's birthday. Loved the experience and the great food!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good MexicanOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/29/2014Tasting menu was a good call. Creative dishes. Service was prompt. Cool atmosphere. Very pleased with evening.Special Features:
- Amazing AmbianceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Great restaurant. Ambiance was pretty impressive. Artwork on wall was hand painted with light effects - very unique for Toronto. Worth checking out. Food was good, but the shared table portions add up! Our waitress was very kind, she did something special for the birthday girl at our table. Would definitely visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer DinnerloveeatingoutDined on 8/29/2014Enjoyed trying El Catrin. Service was excellent! Margarita's spot on! Food was good but a wee bit on the bland side. Very vibrant atmosphere and great spot for a just a few or group of friends to enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasting menu is well worth it!crystal84Dined on 8/29/2014Came here with my boyfriend for an anniversary dinner. Knowledgable server recommended the tasting menu. Best idea since this is a tapas style menu. Small portions to share and because everything sounds amazing on the menu the tasting menu allows to try a little bit of everything. Excellent drinks and incredible atmosphere. I would come back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Mexican Restaurant in the GTAlffloresDined on 8/28/2014It is such a pleasure to find an authentic first class Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico and not the usual tex-mex food, or the little taco restaurant. Catrin is a first class Mexican cousine like the best in Mexico citySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Food, Incredible Experienceluv2dineDined on 8/26/2014Our experience at El Catrin could not have been better. The food was outstanding. I have traveled extensively through Mexico and this is the first authentic Mexican food i have found north of the Mexican border. The menu offers a great variety of interesting items. The margaritas are my favourite in the city. The service is friendly and professional. The restaurant is spectacular and the patio is the best in Toronto. El Catrin is the one restaurant i recommend to any friends looking for a fun night out, or to visitors who want to experience the best of Toronto.Special Features:
- A place worth goingT0f00dxpl0rerDined on 8/24/2014I was super excited to dine at el catrin after walking by the patio one day while I was in the distillery district. Reservations needed to be made at least a week in advance just for my bf and I so we were expecting this place to be spectacular. The atmosphere was awesome however the food didn't live up to our expectations. The portions were small which is okay if the flavours were somewhat unique. Maybe it was our batch but there was nothing "special" about the food for the amount you pay. However, I would still recommend el catrin as a place to go. The place is beautiful and the service is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014I've been to fast food chains with more taste. Sliced up steak was awful. Food was not for sharing portions, it was more for only one person. Waiter was not that friendly, kept forgetting to bring our stuff. I shouldn't have tipped him at all. Decor was nice but I'll never go there again.Special Features:
- Service goodHighhopesDined on 8/24/2014Had a great waitress, but that didn't make up for the fact that every dish of the tasting menu was under seasoned. The best part was the dessert, taste-wise.Special Features:
- Great for drinksdskyrhfiryDined on 8/23/2014Very good gaucomole - did not try anything else. Only had margaritas and snacks but enjoyed both very much!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/22/2014great food, great service. Recommend the tasting menu.Special Features:
- Perfect MediocrityMAJORSPLIFFDined on 8/22/2014Notwithstanding the good location (Distiller district) & the outdoor patio (valid only for dry, warm weather days), this is a resto that's simply not worth the bother given the plethora of other Mexican choices across town. Despite the nice-looking presentation of food, it seems that the chef hasn't tried his own creations --- most of which lack any distinguishing flavors & at times, simply haven't been thought through for the eater (e.g. Why not de-case the chorizo so that it doesn't dangle from your mouth after you've bitten into one bite?!)Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014Great spot, excellent investment in the area. Only a few canapes ordered this time; very tasty food; portions embarrassingly small for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food | Poor ServiceSerenaSDined on 8/21/2014The server started out ok... but did a poor job of explaining the tasting menu and how the vegetarian substitutions would work for my friend. The tasting menu doesn't really make sense for a large group financially as each person could choose a course vs. a pre-arranged menu that literally doubles or triples the cost without the food. My g/f didn't get any choice with her selections and said it tasted like "cardboard wrapped in cardboard". She told the server to cancel the tasting menu, which we were told we wouldn't be charged for and ordered a small bowl of corn. We arrived at 7:30 and by 10-ish we ready to go but the server took close to an hour to get us the bill. We didn't leave until 11:30pm. It was beautiful but the service was awfulSpecial Features:
- luvgoodfoodDined on 8/21/2014My first time to El Catrine. Prompt, obliging and better than average service. Waiter was helpful with suggestions. Portions were small, so you need to order 3+/person. My favorite was El Gobernator- The most tasty and the heartiest of the tacos we had. (Found the beef taco on the dry side) The energy- on the trendy side, with mostly 20-30yr+ old diners. Would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!KitKatDined on 8/20/2014Server was very knowledgeable on Tequila options and enthusiastic about providing suggestions for both experienced and inexperienced diners. Highly recommend the tasting menu (7 courses was lots!) if you are there for dinner. Also try the Tequila flights to sample a few new brands. The staff bringing out each course lacked the ability to properly explain what we were getting and several times we were given the food belonging to the table next to us. Our server always came by to re-explain our dishes and sort out what food was ours vs. what had to go elsewhere. Due to the mistakes we were given an extra dish but the server handled it without question or issue to us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Baja Tacos my favouritetastebudsDined on 8/19/2014Took business colleagues from out-of-country to El Catrin's. Food was great but atmosphere made the meal an unique experience. We elected to try the 9 course tasting menu because we couldn't decide on what to eat. 7-course tasting meal would have been sufficient. Lots of food and all yummy but some dishes needed more flavor. Baja fish tacos were my favourite. The only uniqueness to this tasting menu is that food comes in one or two plates for the table to divide their own portions, so you need to be open to sharing tastebuds with everyone. I'm more use to each person served their own portions. We had a fabulous time and will recommend as a destination to show off to out-of-towners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambience, average foodHkm74Dined on 8/18/2014The hostess was great and seated us outside even though they don't ordinarily w reservations. Our server/bar tender was good, ambience was amazing for a summer evening but the food fell short. We were disappointed but would go back for drinks due to the atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

March 28, 2012
Adirondack earned a valuable standings point
in the Eastern Conference playoff race in Wednesday
night's game at Syracuse but missed on their opportunity
to grab 8th place in the standings in another
heart-stopping goaltenders' duel. The Crunch were
barely able to edge the Phantoms in the shootout
2-1 just moments after both teams had almost sealed
the win in overtime in the wild and entertaining
Andrew Rowe scored for Adirondack while former
Phantom Patrick Maroon lit the lamp for Syracuse
followed by Kyle Palmieri scoring the lone goal
for either side in the shootout to ultimately
decide matters. But the chatter following the
game revolved around Adirondack goalie Michael
Leighton who turned in yet another phenomenal
performance in stopping 42 or 43 Crunch shots
including several dazzlers in the third period
and overtime.
With just a few seconds remaining, Ben Holmstrom
and Mike Testwuide cruised into the Syracuse zone
on a 2-on-1 with a chance to win. The Syracuse
defender took Testwuide giving Holmstrom the open
shooting try from the left circle. The Phantoms
captain beat goalie Iiro Tarkki over his glove-hand
but glanced it off the top of the crossbar and
out. With the puck glancing upstairs and away
went Adirondack's best chance to notch the second
point in the contest.
Adirondack is 4-4-1 against Syracuse this year
heading into the conclusion of the Showdown Series
on Friday night back at the Glens Falls Civic
Center. The Phantoms overall stand at 33-31-4
for 70 standings points while Syracuse improved
to 32-27-9 for 73 points.
Syracuse is in a 7th/8th tie with Manchester at
73 points followed closely by a 9th place tie
between Adirondack and Portland who have 70 points
each. The Phantoms can close to within one point
of Syracuse with a regulation win in the big rematch
on Friday.
A wild and back-and-forth second period saw the
Phantoms outshoot the Crunch 16-15 with both goalies
getting tested over and over. Andrew Rowe accepted
a long stretch pass from Cullen Eddy in stride
and roofed the breakaway try over Tarkki's blocker
to knock the water bottle and give the Phantoms
a 1-0 lead. Rowe's goal was his 7th of the year.
That lead lasted for all of 57 seconds. Dan Sexton
threaded in perfectly from the right-wing wall
to Pat Maroon in the left circle to crank home
the one-timer and tie it at 1-1. Maroon has a
career-high 29 goals placing him fourth in the
Then the third period and overtime would see Leighton
stand on his head for more amazing saves which
have become stunningly common-place for the 29-year-old
who helped lead the Philadelphia Flyers to the
Stanley Cup Finals in 2010.
It was a performance good enough to at least earn
the standings point and break out of the 10th
place tie at 69 with Albany and Providence who
are still hanging on in the tight race.
Leighton had been peaking in the past few weeks
and only built on that momentum and success in
this one. In his previous 13 games since March
19, he had gone 9-4-0 with a solid 1.99 goals
against average and an outstanding .939 saves
percentage. BOTH of those stats improved after
this one even though he was pinned with the shootout
Derek Mathers dropped the gloves for the first
time in his pro career in a third period bout
against Josh Brittain. The 18-year-old from the
Peterborough Petes joined the Phantoms on an amateur
tryout contract a week ago. He was third in the
OHL in penalty minutes this season.
Cullen Eddy also scrapped with former Phantoms
Patrick Maroon. Eddy had the edge early but Maroon
came back late to land a number of blows to the
back of Eddy's head although the second-year Phantom
appeared to be unfazed following the altercation
with the bigger Maroon.
Adirondack was without defenseman Marc-Andre Bourdon
and goalie Jason Bacashihua who were both called
up to Philadelphia due to injuries on the Flyers.
Goalie Brad Phillips was reassigned to Adirondack
from Trenton of the ECHL to serve as Leighton's
Two new signees on ATO's did not see game-action.
Campbell Elynuik and Nick Cousins were among the
scratches in the game. Other scratches included
Tye McGinn, Garrett Klotz, Luke Pither and Oskars
Syracuse outshot the Phantoms 44-35. The Crunch
were 0-for-4 on the power play while Adirondack
went 0-for-2 in the mostly clean game in which
players from both sides didn't want to take costly
penalties that would allow the other team to break
the tie.
The Phantoms have a four-game point streak at
3-0-1 and are just three points back of a playoff
spot with only eight games remaining in the regular
season. The Crunch are one of the hottest teams
in the league and have an eight-game point streak
at 7-0-1 and are also 10-1-1 in their last 12
to move into their current playoff positioning.
The two meet again on Friday in Glens Falls in
the only home game of the week for the Phantoms.

Exhibit highlights senior artists
Picasso, Monet and other masterful artists will be on display — well, at least the artwork impersonating them by students at the Thornton Senior Center — at the Oz Gallery through December.
The Thornton Senior Center painting classes and the Thornton Wood Chippers wood workers will showcase their work at the gallery, which is inside the Thornton Arts and Cultural Center, 9209 Dorothy Blvd. Gallery hours are 1:30-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A reception will be 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at which time the artists and wood carvers will demonstrate their skills.
"Often people have a lifelong interest in painting and other areas of art but because of careers and family obligations that are not able to pursue them until they retire," said Linda Lowe, arts and volunteer coordinator with the city. "We wanted to showcase the wonderful art work that is being made at the Thornton Senior Center to both raise awareness and to encourage others to become involved."
Michelle Porreco and Deanna Schnaidt take a class taught by Emilie Parker and are exhibiting a few of their pieces.
"In Emilie's class, we learn from the masters but added our own personalities and have that shine through," said Porreco.
Schnaidt has taken several art classes at the center, which she said were amazing opportunities.
"The Thornton Senior Center has a variety of crafts and skills that one can develop, it's so much fun," she said.
One of Schnaidt's artwork is a Venetian mask — called "Mr. Everything" — that she said she used techniques from various art classes she took at the center.
"I wanted to do something in 3D and bring different elements into it," she said.
Parker is also showcasing her own work during the exhibit, which she said is a good opportunity to allow others to experience the art.
"Art is getting things out in the open, yet people do art and take it home," she said. "(Exhibits) are a way to get it seen and get feedback."
The Senior Center offers adult art classes and weekly wood chippers meetings for wood carvers. The exhibits in the city are ongoing, Lowe said. The Oz Gallery usually hosts large (40-plus pieces) exhibits that changes every couple months.
"We also have a gallery in the Business Development hallway at City Hall that features smaller (20-30 piece) exhibits on a rotating basis," she said.

According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by Kronos Inc. consumers are more likely to make purchases and inclined to buy more merchandise per transaction when retailers provide attentive, knowledgeable service.
Savvy retailers who focus on providing higher levels of customer service are able to influence shoppers to increasing their holiday spending, Recognizing that their workforce is critical to sales,leading retailers are utilizing their workforce as a strategic asset to satisfy customers and boost sales this holiday season.
The survey found that 85 percent of respondents were "somewhat to very likely†to purchase additional products if they interacted with a competent sales associate while shopping.
The survey also found that potential buyers will return merchandise to the shelf if they were unable to find the assistance they need, effectively reversing their decision to buy. An overwhelming 82 percent of consumers will wait on line no longer than15 minutes.
Additionally, 45 percent of those polled said that they shop for themselves during the holiday season, giving retailers another incentive to ensure that they are catering to the service needs of their customers.
"Because this survey gives retailers a glimpse into the consumer psyche during the holiday shopping season, they can work to ensure they are focused on the factors that most contribute to increased spending and customer loyalty," Stuart Itkin, vice president of marketing at Kronos, said in a company press release.
Stuart, you're a frickin genius. All that money spent on the MBA degree. Common sense costs a lot less.

While some might consider watermelon a bit of a seedy character, this annual favorite can add a cool note to salsas, sorbets, kebabs and salads. And watermelon slices are a must-have at any summer barbecue!
Humans have been growing this plant ever since it was a vegetable. Seriously: It is a part of the squash and cucumber family, and the first watermelons (which probably grew in Africa) were mostly seed and rind. However, thousands of years of careful cultivation have made the melon sweet, fruity and sometimes huge. The biggest watermelon on record weighed 262 pounds!
Watermelons come in all sorts of varieties, and you can choose one based on how you'd like to use it in a recipe. Some types are seedless, while others have lighter skin or yellow flesh. If you want that quintessential Fourth-of-July watermelon, the Allsweet variety is what you're looking for: about 20 pounds of green-striped rind, dark pink flesh and black seeds.
Its peak season is the summertime, but watermelon is usually available all year at your local supermarket.
Ripe watermelons have a distinct look and feel. They're big and heavy, with a dark green rind and a lighter-hued underside. Check a potential watermelon for cracks or bruises, and sniff it to make sure it has that unmistakable melon scent. Then, give its side a good thunk with your palm. If it has a solid feel and makes a slightly hollow sound, this may be the melon for you!
Keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Not enough room in your fridge? No worries. Keeping that watermelon on the counter may be beneficial. USDA researchers found that whole watermelons stored at room temperature have significantly more lycopene, beta-carotene and other nutrients than whole watermelons kept in the refrigerator. If the melon isn't ripe yet, consider wrapping it in a paper bag and storing it in a cool, dry place, like a pantry. You can also freeze a watermelon for a tasty, popsicle-like treat! Just be sure to wash it and slice it into sections or cubes first.
While we usually eat watermelon raw in slices or chunks, it can also be de-seeded and then mixed into salads, blended into smoothies or fire-roasted with meat on a kebab.
Most recipes will call for watermelon in either cubes (diced), balls (cut with a melon-baller), cups (of cubes or balls), or large wedges.
Try using cantaloupe or honeydew in place of watermelon for a cool but slightly stronger melon-y flavor.
With one large watermelon, you can make two or three tasty recipes all at the same time.
To start, you can fashion this refreshing and eye-catching Minted Watermelon Basket with little more than a single melon, a handful of fruit and a sharp knife.
With a few cubes of the leftover watermelon, try tossing together a colorful, summery Red, White and Blueberry Salad.
And blend the rest of the pink, juicy fruit into a chilly Watermelon Lemonade that'll give your guests goosebumps! Add a few frozen honeydew balls (they float!) to make it a real crowd-pleaser.

Watermelon-Kiwi-Banana Smoothie
Watermelon Granita
Gingered Fresh Fruit Salad

Brownie Night Out Group Photo by HeatherGarcia - over 7 years ago
"Brownie Night Out was a great experience for 130 Brownie Girl Scouts, and older Scout and parent volunteers. We had a contest among the girls to design the t-shirt and Ally Garcia won with her moon and stars design. Working with Custom Ink to have the design printed on t-shirts was easier that I could have ever imagined! And also faster, and cheaper! We couldn't have been more pleased with the result. Thank you for helping make our event so memorable."

101 Tips for Healthy Student-Athletes
If you have a student-athlete in the house, you'll love these tips from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) for ensuring that school-age athletes stay healthy and successful.
Eat Smart
1. Breakfast builds better athletes. Eat breakfast to ensure that you are well-fueled for games and training. Try fruit slices with cheese or peanut butter.
2. Snack attack. Small, easily digested snacks provide the balanced energy you need throughout the day.
3. Better pre-game fuel = better performance. Focus on complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain crackers and cereals, which are easy to digest.
4. Pack post-game protein. Muscles need protein + carbohydrates to stay strong. Lowfat
chocolate milk, yogurt smoothies or cheese and crackers make excellent choices.
5. Good nutrition now = better bones later. What you eat as a teen fuels 15 percent of your adult height and 45 percent of your adult bone structure.
6. "D"-liver good nutrition to your bones. Vitamin D (found in milk and yogurt) helps calcium do its job to build strong bones.
7. Don't skip meals. An active body needs fuel throughout the day.
8. Size matters. Portion control is important to maintaining a healthy weight. Don't make your portions too big or too small.
9. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink water, especially during and after exercise.
10. Find fluid in foods. Lowfat milk is about 90 percent water, and fresh fruits and veggies are high in water as well.
11. Rethink your drink. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks often are loaded with simple sugar and provide little long-range fuel.
12. Pack your snacks. The best way to ensure that you have enough pre- and post-game fuel is to pack your own healthy snack packs and coolers. Don't rely on what's available in vending machines or at concession stands.
13. Pay attention to your calorie intake, but not obsessively. Increase your calories with nutrient-dense foods when you're training harder than usual.
14. Read food labels. Know what you're putting into your body. "Energy" foods that list sugar as the first ingredient are likely not the healthiest choice.
15. Fresh foods, generally, are healthier than processed foods. Focus on fruits/vegetables, whole grains, lowfat milk/yogurt/cheese and lean meats/meat substitutes.
16. Color your plate. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are great sources of antioxidants, nutrients that help prevent and repair the damage done to bodies during daily training.
17. Put it in writing. A food diary will help you understand and change unhealthy eating habits. It also will aid in creating good habits going forward.
18. Increase whole grains gradually. A fiber-rich diet is recommended for good health, but athletes should increase pre-workout fiber gradually, because fiber tends to be difficult to digest.
19. Think food, not pharmacy. Protein supplements are not necessary for young athletes, because 4 servings of dairy foods and 2 to 3 servings of meat/plant-based protein provide all the daily protein you need.
20. Get nutty about good nutrition. A handful of nuts will provide you with a good source of healthy fats, proteins and minerals.
21. Fruit first, juice occasionally. When possible, choose the whole fruit for the most nutrition. (Think orange slices versus orange juice.)
22. Kick the caffeine habit. Sodas, energy drinks, coffee and tea contain high amounts of caffeine, and can zap energy later in the day and cause water loss/dehydration.
23. Do dinner together. Teens who eat dinner with their families often are healthier overall, both physically and mentally.
Train Smart
24. Discuss training with an expert. Plan your workouts with your coach or trainer.
25. Train regularly. Consistency yields the best fitness results.
26. Vary your workout. Cross-train at least once a week.
27. Be flexible. A regular stretching routine will help prevent injuries. Ask your coach to build a stretching component into practice.
28. Warm up before you stretch. Begin each workout with an active, sport-specific warm-up to prevent injury and make stretching more effective.
29. Find a buddy. Partner stretching can be a fun and effective way to loosen up.
30. Balance your training. Strength training and cardiovascular fitness are both important. Be sure to pay attention to both.
31. Resistance training is important. Work with your coach or trainer to make sure that
you're doing this safely.
32. Train muscles that stabilize. Ask your coach to incorporate drills and exercises that strengthen stabilizing muscles, particularly your back and core.
33. Lift smart. High repetitions with light weights yield the best results for most teen athletes.
34. Train opposing muscle groups. Don't overtrain one group of muscles and neglect another.
35. Think ahead. Before you start training seriously for a sport, be sure that you have a solid base of fitness.
36. Technique is important in every sport. Focus on using good form.
37. Take care of your athletic gear and equipment, and it will take care of you.
38. Athletic shoes are an athlete's foundation. Make sure that you have the proper shoe and fit for your sport.
39. Keep a training log. Review it periodically with your coach.
40. Get to know your body. Learn to recognize the difference between soreness and injury.
41. If you're injured, work with your coach or trainer to develop alternate practice activities.
42. If you suspect that you have a head injury, talk to your coach or your parents immediately and make sure that you have a doctor's approval before returning to activity.
43. Be prepared. Put your best effort into every workout and practice.
