Dear League Leaders,
Elisabeth's Leader's Update yesterday reminds me that's it is the season for nominating committees to get into gear to work towards building a strong LWV board for their League. I gathered a lot of good information about the nomination committee process and published "The Little Green Book" in 2009. Please take a moment to glance through it or watch thePowerPoint presentation about its contents.
We are a small, poor local League. No one good will want to sit on our board. So we will take who we can get. Once those people are on the Board, we can't demand much of them, because they are just volunteers. We can't ask them for a letter of commitment, for example, or require that they be at meetings, because they are busy people. And we certainly would never demand that they read their board materials and be prepared before meetings!
We are having board problems. Many board members don't show up for meetings. When they do show up, they are not prepared. They have nothing to add except criticize.
We're losing a lot of our board members. Sometimes we can't even get a quorum. Where can we recruit that we can get good board members this time?
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and there are solutions! Solutions are found in reframing how we offer League leadership (from a "chore" to an "opportunity") and in incorporating succession planning into the work of the League. They include four important steps:
1. The Board must relearn what it means to be a board and relearn what their job is within that role.
2. The Board must institute a strong recruitment and orientation process. Replacing the "woe is me" approach with an approach that shares enthusiasm for all the great developmental opportunities for new leaders, as this will help strengthen their League's ability to do great things.
3. Build a strong Nominating Committee that remembers how much the League has meant to their own personal lives and brings people in with that energy.
4. Be clear with candidates about the expectations and time commitments for serving on a League board. And be flexible enough to create opportunities for people to serve who have limited time and offer differing talents to the Board team.
All of us have been told that the Nominating Committee is the most powerful committee of any board. Annually, this committee selects directors and, usually, officers as well. Yet, within many organizations, a closer examination of the Nominating Committee and its operations suggests that its power is not well used.
A recent election at a local League…
This unsatisfactory approach to board development can be altered with the intervention of a better nominations process.
So take a break and read more!

© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- The Dougherty County Circuit Bar Association held its annual Law Day banquet Wednesday at the Hilton Garden Inn.
The group posthumously honored fallen Dougherty County Police Lt. Cliff Rouse with it's Liberty Bell Award.
Rouse, an 18-year-veteran of the Dougherty Police Department and 1997 Officer of The Year, was gunned down in December while responding to an armed robbery.
His widow, Christine, accepted the award on Rouse's behalf while his parents, Jackie and Tom, looked on.
The Liberty Bell Award, presented at more than 200 Law Day programs across the nation, recognizes a person who has promoted better understanding of the rule of law, encouraged a greater respect of the law and the courts, stimulated a sense of civic responsibility, and contributed to good government and the community.
Georgia Court of Appeals Chief Judge John Ellington and Presiding Judge Herbert Phipps of Albany were the keynote speakers.
"It's important that young people are exposed to our system of justice, which is the best system in the world," Phipps said. "Sometimes lawyers defend unpopular people. Take a look at Guantanamo (Bay detention camp). There are bad people there with lawyers defending them, and it's a lawyer's job to make sure even the worst person is protected.
"That's what lawyers are all about."
In addition to the award presentation, The Association also recognized the induction of nine new Albany High students into the Legal Chiefs Chapter of the Georgia Law Honor Society of Secondary Schools.
Dylan Duke, Andrea Green, Amber Houston, Mariah Marshall, Samariah Roberson, Joshlyn Smith, Andrew Tabatt, Tanesha Tumblin, and A'Kera Watson joined Kwanesia Ellis, Reginald Harvey, Jeanetta Hicks, and Essence Thomas, who were inducted last year.
Law Day Essay Contest winners, who wrote about the Law Day theme, "The legacy of John Adams -- From Boston to Guantanamo," also were recognized.
JaRon Whitaker of Monroe was the winner, followed by runner-up Jonathon Hunter of Dougherty and third-place winner Kason Jones of Monroe.

Grammy Win For Bobby Colomby & Chris Botti
On behalf of Render Records and Render Recording Artist David Aldo, lead singer for Blood Sweat & Tears, we would like to congratulate Blood Sweat & Tears founding member Bobby Colomby on the 2013 Grammy Nomination and Win for "Best Pop Instumental Album" for Producing Chris Botti's latest album, "Impressions".
About Bobby Colomby:
Bobby Colomby (born Robert Wayne Colomby, 20 December 1944, in New York) is an innovative jazz-rock fusion drummer, and an original member of the group Blood, Sweat & Tears. He's also the uncredited drummer on John Cale and Terry Riley's collaboration album Church of Anthrax.[citation needed]
He graduated from the City College of NY with a degree in Psychology, and his elder brother Harry Colomby was the manager of Thelonious Monk.
Colomby played on the self-titled Blood, Sweat & Tears' 1970 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, which features the hit songs: "Spinning Wheel", "And When I Die", and "You've Made Me So Very Happy" (all sung by David Clayton-Thomas).[1] After many changes in the group he became (in the end) the defacto owner of Blood Sweat & Tears name.
Colomby produced jazz bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius' first solo album; The Jacksons' comeback album Destiny; Chris Botti's albums December, When I Fall In Love, To Love Again and Italia; Paula Cole's album Courage and Jeff Lorber's album He Had a Hat.
For a few years in the late 1980s Bobby Colomby was a reporter for the television programs Entertainment Tonight and "The CBS Morning Program." He also hosted "In Person from the Palace".
In 2000, Colomby and Richard Marx created Signal 21 Records.[2] The label released only one album, Richard Marx's Days In Avalon before the label folded shortly thereafter.
About Chris Botti:
Botti was introduced to Columbia by Bobby Colomby, drummer and founding member of Blood, Sweat & Tears, who went on to become his producer and manager. Botti's first Columbia release was Night Sessions in 2001. This was followed in 2002 by December, a holiday album, which included an original composition by Richard Marx. The project represented the only time Botti has performed vocals on two tracks.[9]
A Thousand Kisses Deep, was released in 2003 and contained a group of originals and covers that accent Botti's crossover appeal as both a jazz and pop musician.[10]
When I Fall In Love followed in 2004, which featured a more traditional sound[11] than its predecessor.
To Love Again: The Duets, released in 2005, continued where the previous album left off with more lush orchestral jazz via the London Session Orchestra, this time showcasing guest vocalists — as well as a handful of instrumental tracks.[12]
In May 2005, Botti was invited to perform at Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball weekend honoring her African American heroines.[13] In 2006, Billy Childs, Gil Goldstein & Heitor Pereira won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s): "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" (Chris Botti & Sting) from Botti's album To Love Again – The Duets.[14] 2006 also marked his first PBS collaboration, Chris Botti Live: With Orchestra and Special Guests, released in early 2006. The CD and platinum-certified DVD included duets with Sting, Burt Bacharach, Gladys Knight, Jill Scott and Renee Olstead.[15]
On September 25, 2007, Botti released an album entitled Italia. The album places focus on Botti's Italian roots through such songs as "Ave Maria", "Venice", "Estatè", and the title track "Italia", on which he partnered with Andrea Bocelli. In December 2007, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Botti also performed the song with Bocelli during the 2007 edition of the Teatro del Silenzio, which was released on DVD titled Vivere Live in Tuscany, in 2008.
Early in 2009, Botti released his second CD/DVD PBS project, Chris Botti in Boston. Performing with the Boston Pops Orchestra, Botti shared the stage with Yo Yo Ma, Steven Tyler, Josh Groban, Katharine McPhee, John Mayer, Sting and others.
By June 2009, Chris Botti had released twelve solo albums. His first few releases are often classified as smooth jazz, though critic Alex Henderson argues that Botti's music was a cut above much of the genre; reviewing his 1999 album, Slowing Down the World, Henderson writes "it would be a major mistake to lump it in with… outright elevator muzak … Botti is capable of a lot more."[16] That same year as well as the following year, Botti appeared as a Pennington Great Performers series artist with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

Lee County is stepping up efforts to keep trucks hauling sand for a Collier County beach renourishment project away from using Corkscrew Road.
County commissioners say they tried to get Collier to use their own roads as a path to the Vanderbilt Beach project, but they've been rebuffed by Collier officials.
They say Collier made the choice based on cost, and they don't see Lee County's concerns - about risk to five residential subdivisions in the area, Pinewood Elementary School and others - as enough to justify the additional cost to them.
In an email to county commissioners, Lee County Manager Roger Dejarlais says the county was never notified about Collier's plan to use Corkscrew Road, and was therefore denied the opportunity to provide comment on the plan.
So they will ask the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to extend the beach renourishment permit comment period by 45 days.
Dejarlais says that 45 days would allow time for them to keep working with Collier to come to an agreement.
He says Lee County is also challenging the permit with the Florida DEP.

He was Robin to Davis' Batman at Kentucky, in large part because of his commitment to playing both ends of the floor (he was only fourth on the team in scoring at 11.9 points). It's unclear whether he can evolve into playing a lead role, but he has no shortage of casting calls because of his versatility and the leadership he showed during the Wildcats' championship run.
For all of the attention paid to Davis as Kentucky's top talent, Kidd-Gilchrist was regarded as the team's glue. Coach John Calipari routinely praised him for being the emotional leader, and Kidd-Gilchrist was the captain of the Wildcats' 8:30 a.m. workouts before scheduled practices.
It's hard to tell how good he can be offensively because of the deep surrounding talent at Kentucky, but he has been compared to New Jersey's Gerald Wallace in terms of his athleticism and attacking mentality. Kidd-Gilchrist had two of his best offensive games in the NCAA tournament, scoring 24 points on 7-of-15 shooting against Indiana in the Sweet 16 and 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting against Baylor in the Elite Eight.
He might have the best motor in the draft, and nothing makes scouts happier than a player who never stops. Kidd-Gilchrist is also a tenacious defender with a 6-10 wingspan. His inconsistent perimeter game is a concern, but his work ethic and approach have NBA teams drooling.
"He has all the intangibles," one assistant general manager said. "And he plays extremely hard."

"It's a humbling feeling for me actually," said Kidd-Gilchrist, when I asked about working out at the Beachwood High gym filled with roughly 30 kids playing basketball after school. "I know I was like them at one point," he added. "I was just like these kids once. I'm very humbled to be around them and I wish them nothing but the best."
"I love playing defense, that's my thing," MKG went on to tell me during a break in the session. "I feel like I'm a guy who can guard [positions] 1 through 4 in the NBA. Offensively, I believe I can play the 2 or 3 in the NBA too, and I'm just working hard in order to prepare myself for that. I'm working on my shooting, off the dribble stuff, and ball handling too, in addition to just working to get stronger and improve all areas of my game every day."
"Of course, I'd love to play with Kyrie," Kidd-Gilchrist told SLAMonline. "But at the same time, I'm going into my own professional career and I'd be happy to play with any team that drafts me. I'm looking forward to being a part of an organization that believes in me, and I'm working hard to be able to bring an impact and positive light to that organization."

- wonderfulluciapDined on 9/19/2014This was the first time in years that we have been to Claire's. The food was spectacular, the seating, and the inside were gorgeous! The only thing that I was a little disappointed with was our server. She seemed overly busy, and didn't quite pay attentions to details. Our drinks took forever to come out to us, but our food made it out to our table in a timely manner. Her head always just seemed somewhere else. I guess she had other tables to worry about as well. We will be back!Special Features:

- small flawmickgeneDined on 9/16/2014Great svc. Fine ambience. Great appetizer(oysters). Crab cakes with fried green tomatoes - Excellent. Mixed grill great except for sirloin - cooked per preference( med rare) - but dry and a trifle tough - the sauce was its salvation despite being skimpy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointing service a surprisequeenieDined on 9/14/2014Unusual to have poor service at Claire's.. was wondering if some of the staff was missing?
- A GEMBeachbumDined on 9/13/2014Tucked away in the little town of Warrenton, at the old train depot with relics of the past parked silently on the tracks; this restaurant occupies the old station platform. It has been elegantly decorated, presents an ambiance that lies somewhere between formal and casual and offers a diverse menu and excellent service. The owner, Claire, is present, personable and engaging. When the weather is pleasant, the outside patio, canopied with trees in a beautiful garden is available.Special Features:
- Dinner with FriendsrictroastDined on 9/13/2014We went with another couple. This was our third trip and their first. We were greeted and given our table promptly. The wait staff was punctual and well trained. The food specials were explained and we all made our selections. Desert and coffee finished our evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Excellent Vacation FineMandarinDined on 9/10/2014We found this little gem somewhat by accident when we found ourselves near Warrenton. It was an excellent find. The menu is interesting and diverse, the food very well prepared and the kitchen very accommodating to food allergies and intolerances. Try it for yourself if you are nearby, I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014Have eaten there for lunch many times, but dinner was very expensive , didn't realize glass of wine was $14.00 so we ordered 2 and were shocked to see the total for $28.00 for 2 glassesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- still perfect!lukdemDined on 9/4/2014Returning for lunch after a number of years (too many), we were pleasantly surprised to find Claire's just as perfect as we remembered it: pleasant ambiance, friendly service, and exquisitely prepared dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another good dinner at Claire'sIfIAmToPutOnWeightDined on 8/30/2014Went there with my wife for our 23rd anniversary. She had the filet with French fries, I had the cowboy steak and replaced the baked potato with French Fries, we both had the crab soup. The soups and my wife steak were delicious my steak was good but too salty. When I told the waitress she said the saltiness was caused by the rub they put on it; I suggest that they update the recipe for the rub, I don't think it should be that salty. Another thing I have noted at Claire's when one makes a reservation, they ask if there are any special request, I wrote that it was our anniversary. All I got was the "Maitre D'" tell us happy anniversary nothing more. The last time we went there, it was my wife's birthday and they forgot to mention it.Special Features:
- A favoritegirlsluncherVIPDined on 8/29/2014The perfect place for a Friday lunch. Delicious salads and quiche. Great service. Just perfect, as usual.Special Features:
- Mid-week dining outOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/28/2014We are infrequent dine-outers but we always enjoy the ambiance, the service, and especially the food at Claire's. We are able to share an appetizer before and a dessert after our meal. The entrees (and daily specials) are hard to choose from, but always visually attractive and delicious. The wine list is quite ample with reasonable prices and good variety of Reds, Whites, and Sparkling wines to choose from. he wine list is ample, and helpfully arranged to help the diner with pairing wine to meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SEA FOOD SENSATIONTASTEBUDDDined on 8/27/2014ON OUR VISIT LAST WEEK, THE FOUR OF US HAD THE "SEA FOOD BOWL". WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS OUTSTANDING, EQUAL TO THE BEST OF NEW ENGLAND OR SPAIN ON THE MED. THIS "PIECE DE RESISTANCE" WAS A DELICIOUS MIX OF FRESH MUSSELS, SHRIMP, FISH, AND CALAMARI, ON A JUST RIGHT PORTION OF LINGUINI, ALL COOKED TO PERFECTION. WE STARTED THE MEAL WITH A TASTY APPETIZER OF THICK SHE-CRAB SOUP AND FINISHED WITH A SATISFYING KEY LIME PIE. WARRENTON IS A HALF-WAY POINT BETWEEN US AND OUR FRIENDS FROM NEAR LURAY AND CLAIRE'S IS OUR ONE AND ONLY PLACE TO DINE.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/23/2014I had previously been there for lunch and decided to try it out for a major birthday event with family and friends. It was definitely a great choice since it was a very enjoyable evening and all the meal choices were equally awesome.Special Features:
- LUNCH TIME VISITkaceeDined on 8/22/2014Reservations at 1pm, party of 3. 2 arrived early, were seated and ordered appetizers which came just as I arrived at 1. Waitress efficient, observant. A little late on refills for drinks (water). Appetizer was seared ahi tuna on tortilla chip with an interesting sauce. Entrée selection sufficient for lunch and prices were quite acceptable for the location and ambiance. Although seated fairly close to other diners, the noise level was still acceptable. Definitely recommend sitting near the garden/outside seating area to enjoy the scenery.Special Features:
- Must for local and visiting foodiesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014We regret taking so long to return to this favorite from many years ago. The charm we remember is still there, but with renewed vibrancy. The setting is still beautiful. The menu is concise, yet varied. The art of presentation is not overlooked; the food is delicious even before tasting. The staff is welcoming and helpful. We look forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014Took my wife here for her birthday. Informed staff when I made the reservation and they were right on top of it when we arrived. Wait staff was excellent with the exception that I felt like our waiter waited slightly too long before checking on us each time. Food was outstanding. I believe I had the best porterhouse steak that I have ever eaten, and I've eaten a lot of porterhouse steaks!!Special Features:
- Warrenton, VirginiaMaryVIPDined on 8/17/2014Consistently warm and welcoming restaurant in the charming town of Warrenton, Virginia. Most recent visit was with my parents. We met my brother and his daughter for Sunday brunch. I made the open table reservation for 4 and when my brother asked if he could add one more I wasn't able to change it on OT. No problem.

- Perfectly adequateRachelTzDined on 7/13/2014Very enjoyable outdoor seating area with lots of character and charm. Food was made well but nothing special or particularly flavorful. Crabcakes had a lot of filler. Cornmeal pancakes had no detectable cornmeal. But nothing was overcooked, over salted, or terrible and needing to be sent back. Overall I would recommend it for a nice outdoor brunch with friends.Special Features:
- Excellent food and ambiance!MLinVADined on 7/13/2014We stopped for Brunch and couldn't have enjoyed it more! The scones with flavored butter are great!

One of Florida's greatest crime mysteries has been solved, Ocala police say, with the arrest of the infamous "serial pooper" of Ft. King Middle School.
The Gainesville Sun reports Kenneth Martin Sarsony, 23, was arrested for allegedly defecating at least five times in front of a door at the school since early September.
Police used surveillance video to wipe the school crime log clean.
I'm no Matlock, but it may have been easier for detectives to just arrest the guy walking down the street toting a roll of toilet paper.
Police received two calls from the public identifying Sarsony in the video.
Sarsony, arrested at work, said he was defecating at the school because he was in "bad spirits" and "needed help."
