- Pregame: OregonLive.com's high school sports crew will be live and on hand to bring you play-by-play from this game and every other at the Rose City Showcase.
- From the get go here, it's looking like a long day for Portland Elite going up against the size of the WW Renegades. They already have 4 offensive rebounds here in the first two minutes and two three baskets coming on a jump hook by Shawn Kemp Jr. and two tip-in's by Richard Howell. After another easy lay up in transition drops through for the WWR, PE is forced to call time to talk things over with the Worldwide Renegades leading, 8-0 with 12:34 remaining 1st quarter.
- Hollis Thompson steals away a pass underneath out of the timeout, but the woes out on the court continue for Portland Elite. They turn it over trying to get the ball to Wade Moyer, but it's off his hands out of bounds. Despite missing some easy atempts at the rim, WWR is essentially doing what they please out on the floor. Richard Howell will hit Mfon Udofia with a pass, and he won't finish, but is fouled on the attempt. Shooting two, and he hits both. That makes it 10-0 for WWR with 10:40 left in the 1st period.
- Michael Holton who ususally plays his basketball for Sunset High School has just checked into the game and he will get PE their first two points as he curls around a screen for the catch and shoot that drops in for two.
- PE is getting burned right now because all they have been content to do is shoot jumpshots, but Jordan Mays will get an offense board and toss it in for two. No matter for WWR, as Phillip Taylor cans a long jumper to get those points right back. WWR leads it 15-4 with 8:03 remaining in the half.
- Mike James who won a 6A champioship with Grant High School this past season steps into the game for PE and he'll give them some much needed scoring as he stops and pops a jumper. However, he will take a quick jumper on the next possession that is rebounded long and pushed by Phillip Taylor who earns a trip to the line on the drive. He'll sink 1 of 2 free throws.
- Jeremy Olsen will step out and take a pass from Mfon Udofia that he jacks up for three and the big man sinks it to add to WWR's lead. However, he's sluggish to get back on defense so Bo Wallace takes him outside and cans the baseline jumper for two.
- Wade Moyer will try a three after a turnover on the other end by the WWR. The three is off, but Brock Osweiler is there to clean up the mess. However, on the next PE possession, Ari (pronounced Air-E) Stewart rips a pass away at midcourt for WWR and hammers home the dunk with agression at the other end. Nice play. WWR leads it now, 23-10 with 4:08 remaining in the 1st period.
- After two free throws on one end for PE, they are caught sleeping as Shawn Kemp Jr. gets behind the defense on the way back down the court and catches a lob pass from midcourt that he dunks home hard with two hands.
- Damas Gakwasi will usually plays his ball during the regular season for Central Catholic checks into the game for Portland Elite, and Jordan Mays shows off his versatility on the next play as he slices into the lane an then switches hands on his way up for the left-handed lay up. Nice move. After Ari Stewart splits a pair of free throws, Jordan Mays comes right back at the defense and scores the floater for Portland Elite. However, WWR still leads it 30-15 with 2:30 to play int he first period.
- After an easy basket on one end, PE throws a pass the length of the court to Damas Gakwasi who catches the WWR defense sleeping for an easy basket for two. However, Ari Stewart will get those points right back on a drive to the rim.
- With under a minute to play, Damas Gakwasi gets to the line for a pair that he hits. On the next play, a rebound of a miss by WWR on one end is pushed to the other and Mike James will finish with a lay up on the run. PE steals the inbounds and the ball is touch passed again to James who finishes and draws the foul. Free throw is no good and the first period ends with the Worldwide Renegades leading, 34-23 at the half.
- Jamar Johnson who played ball for Benson High School last season hits a lay up in the lane for Portland Elite, and after a miss on the other end by WWR, Portland Elite pushes it and Hollis Thompson will hit Jamar Johnson who again scores on the run. Nice start here for PDX Elite. Another miss leads to another basket for PE as Mike James hits Brock Osweiler down low that he turns into a jump-hook for two. Hollis Thompson will steal the ball ont he next play and take it the distance for the lay up. After ANOTHER steal and another basket for Jamar Johnson on the drive, the Worldwide Renegades are stunned and forced to call time as their lead is cut to 3 (36-33) with 12:13 left to go in the game.
- Right out of the timeout, Portland Elite continues their run as Mike James gets a rip at midcourt and finishes the play with a dunk. After another miss on the WWR end of the floor, Jordan Mays pulls up for a jumper and rattles it in. play on the floor stops as the official out there calls time to kick out a fan that was obviously saying something that got his attention. The fan doesn't want to leave, but they make her ... No matter. As soon as play begins, she sneaks back in and is now 3 rows back in the audience. Next time know where to sit if you want to heckle like that, lady.
- Depite a made free throw, and then a tip-in off the second miss by Collin Reddick, Brock Osweiler will get the ball at the other end and he finishes the play despite being fouled. He'll hit the free throw as well, but WWR gets it right back as Mfon Udofia pulls up for three and hits. WWR leads it 44-42 with 8:35 remaining in the game.
- Jordan Mays will take the ball right to the rim off the inbouds and despite the travel he scores on the play (no call from the official). At the other end, a push-off on the defensive rebound gives PE two free throws and they capitalize on those as both drop to give them the lead, 46-44. However, Ari Stewart comes right back and goes hard to the rim where no one can stop him, so he gets two. After a quick miss by PE, Phillip Taylor cans a three from the corner, but the officials call it a two. That gives the lead back to WWR, and with 7:25 to go timeout is called with WWR leading 48-46.
- To say the WWR coach is apoplectic with the way the game is being officiated would be a serious understatement. He is fuming right now. The game is getting pretty scrappy right now, and that favors WWR's style as Richard Howell bowls his way into the paint and draws the foul. He will hit a pair, but Hollis Thompson responds on the following play with a long jumper for two. After Howell muscles his way for two on one end, Richard Osweiler looks determined to get it back as he burns his man on the strong drive to the basket, scores the basket and draws the foul. Free throw is good, so the lead is cut to one. The coach of WWR is whistled for a technical foul and with that, Jordan Mays will shoot two, and he hits both to give Portland Elite takes the lead. PE leads it 55-54 with 3:04 remaining.
- After those two free throws, WWR gets two quick trransition buckets to give their team the lead back and then Ari Stewart adds a bit of a cushion as he drains a three. After a foul bringing the ball up, Brandon Reed will shoot two and he pushes the lead to 6, and then an offensive foul gives the ball right back to WWR. Mfon Udofia will attack the basket right off the inbounds and that sends him to the line. After two free throws, WWR leads it 64-57 with 1:03 remaining.
- Ari Stewart scores on a basket inside right out of the timeout as Portland Elite tries to trap and then after a foul on the next WWR possession, the PE coach trys to gather his team, but that's against the rules here without calling time, so Mfon Udofia trys to get in the huddle and there's some pushing involved as the coach trys to get him out of the huddle so that the refs have to come and end before it gets out of hand. With that, Brandon Reed shoots two. After a PE miss and another foul, Mike James fouls out and Brandon Reed goes back to the line. He hits 1 of 2, and with 8 seconds remaining in the game a long heave is off so the Worldwide Renegades win it over Portland Elite by a score of 69-60.

Video: Jason Segel asked out via YouTube
Friday, January 6th, 2012
Well, it's been done and it wasn't me….Should have thought of this one sooner, but since I didn't do this myself, I'm so glad this girl did! A girl named Chelsea Gill has taken to YouTube to confess her love to Jason Segel and ask him out for a drink! Genious!
And…I'm not the only one that thinks so. Jason saw the video and LOVED it! After watching the video, he Tweeted, "My favorite thing, maybe ever. I am in awe. Response on the way. I'm gonna need a couple days on this one."
We can't wait for his response in song…and maybe he'll take her up on the drink offer. How cool would that be?! -Alli
Watch Chelsea's Jason Segel Song:
(Oh…and it's not exactly safe for work…so watch at your own risk!)

So good...a few changes I made: using sifted soft white-wheat flour, activating the cocoa by heating it with the mayonnaise (this was before I realized that water is added), and making a chocolate cream cheese frosting instead of whipped cream. Even with the whole-grain flour they were fall-apart moist and tender, and the chocolate chips (tossed with flour before adding to keep them from sinking) put them over the top. I make homemade mayo so this is a good way to use it up before it spoils - and I can have my cupcakes and eat them too!

A Goser is actually a real word according to Urban Dictionary.

Ending the Obsession with Self
This devotional was written by Robin Dugall
He must become greater; I must become less. —John 3:30
Have you ever considered how much time you think about yourself? Do you wander by a mirror and catch a quick glance? Do you browse fashion magazines and imagine for hours how you would look in some snazzy new outfit? Have you ever thought about how many of your sentences begin with "I" or end with "me"?
The obsession with self starts early. Moments after birth, the self demands its own way. A baby will scream, pout or keep his parents awake for hours at night asserting his obsession with self. Have you ever wondered why it is that your parents never had to teach you how to be selfish? For most, no matter what the issue, life seems to revolve around answering the question, "What do I get out of this?"
One of the most compelling sermons I ever heard was given years ago by the former president of Moody Bible Institute, Joe Stowell. The sermon I heard hit me at the core of my being. He said, "I'm tired of worrying about what people think about me. I'm weary of the carnal feeling that sometimes haunts me when someone talks about his favorite preacher and it's not me. Bottom line, I just get flat-out tired of me. But I never get tired of Jesus…One day, life won't be about 'me'…it won't be about you. It won't be about the covers of magazines, or CEO status, or diplomas or anything else. Life will come down to Jesus."
Today, work on ending the obsession with self by taking your eyes off of yourself. Instead, direct them toward Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.
1. How much are you obsessed with yourself? Monitor your thoughts and actions during the day today. Then tonight, talk to God about how much you think primarily about yourself and how that affects your relationship with God and others.
2. What can you do to break the obsession with self?

Why I Give - Class Notes Extras
June 2012 Issue
"I give to the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the 4-H Foundation as I am so appreciative of all that was offered to me during my student years. I want to give back and help others so they can have the opportunities and experiences that I had." —Lucy Reid (BSHE '82, MS '84) Lucy Reid is a President's Club level Annual Fund donor who gives to the Department of Food Science and Technology and to 4-H. As the director of scientific and regulatory affairs for Coca-Cola Refreshments, her life revolves around science, regulations, beverages, communications, family and Georgia football. Reid's interest in food started way before she attended UGA. A Mitchell County native who grew up on a peanut farm, Reid got involved with her local 4-H program in fifth grade. She knew she wanted to do something in food as a career but didn't know about food science before 4-H. "4-H is what prepared me …

Hundreds of people gathered at the Albany Civic Center to celebrate the legacy Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior.
WALB is also broadcasting the event live from the Albany Civic Center at 7:00 on its ABC channel. Organizers said they're expecting about 500 to attend.
The King Day Celebration committee set up tables and gearing up all day for tonight's speaker.
Xernona Clayton, a civil rights leader who worked with Dr. King, discussed the reverend's dream for equality.
She's expected to speak on ways to improve race relations. "Her theme is keeping the dream alive. So I think she's gonna tell us what we need to do to continue the dream of Dr. King. And I think we're gonna be in for a real treat," said Bill Robinson, King Day Celebration Committee Co-Chair.
Robinson says proceeds from the event will go to the Civil Rights Institute to honor Dr. King's legacy.
They're expecting to raise between $30,000 to $40,000.
The money will be used for operations and to support future exhibits.
The dinner sold out in advance.
But those without tickets are welcome to sit in the bleachers to listen to the speaker free.
Tune in to WALB-ABC at 7:00 for live coverage of the event.

Faith's Checkbook - May 14
May 14
Surgery for Healing
"Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up" (Hosea 6:1).
It is the LORD's way to tear before He heals. This is the honest love of His heart and the sure surgery of His hand. He also bruises before He binds up, or else it would be uncertain work. The law comes before the gospel, the sense of need before the supply of it. Is the reader now under the convincing, crushing hand of the Spirit? Has he received the spirit of bondage again to fear? This is a salutary preliminary to real gospel healing and binding up.
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the LORD with all thy jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our LORD's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it. Let us not linger but at once return unto the LORD from whom we have gone astray. Let us show Him our gaping wounds and beseech him to know His own work and complete it. Will a surgeon make an incision and then leave his patient to bleed to death? Will the LORD pull down our old house and then refuse to build us a better one? Dost Thou ever wantonly increase the misery of poor anxious souls? That be far from Thee, O LORD.

I also understand only one certificate per canoe may be used and that the certificate is good on this model only. Nose, hose, and hand, an elephant's trunk is long on versatility. An elephant in Kenya's Tsavo National Park has learned how to turn on a water tap. To drink, elephants siphon as much as a gallon and a half of water up their trunks before spraying it into their mouths. In drier months the trunk may be used to dig to water level. During a midday snooze an elephant curls its trunk neatly in its tusks. Equipped with thousands of muscles, the trunk can deftly pluck a leaf or uproot a tree. Covered with sen�sory hairs, it also feels the shape, tex�ture, and temperature of things. Last rites for a bull shot for crop raiding were observed by the Douglas-Hamilton�s in Manyara. As an experiment lain set the skeleton by a well used trail. A passing kinship group closed in. The tusks were mouthed and passed about, the bones lifted, carried, and dropped a hundred yards away. "It was an uncanny sight," he says. Though recorded before, such behavior is unexplained. To lend a helping trunk is natural in elephant family life i nParis apartment. A mother and old�est daughter rescue a calf on a slippery mud bank. All females in the kin group, even teenagers, share in tending infants. The young are well protected, and may nurse as long as eight years�or until their tusks become too long for mother's comfort. Two juveniles assist one an�other in a mud bath. The mud pack pro�tects against heat and insects. lain and his assistant Mhoja Burengo took an unexpected bath when they unsuccessfully tried to navigate a swol�len river while tracking an elephant. A towline rescued their Land-Rover. "A latticework of wrinkles": The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder so described the elephant's sagging skin. The inch-thick hide lacks sweat glands, and the animals rely on their well-veined ears as a cooling system. When severely overheated, they may withdraw water from their throats or stomachs to spray their ears.
Reducing Paint Fumes: A Volatile Question In the Los Angeles area, despite aggressive antismog programs, ten million people breathe some of the dirtiest air in the United States, say local officials. One surprising culprit paint, as they dry, paints and related products release 60 tons a day of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, contributing to the region's smog. That is equivalent to the smog-forming emissions of 1.8 million of L.A.'s six million vehicles. Officials have tightened restrictions on VOC emissions from paint over the past two decades, and recently approved regulations will help bring levels to their lowest point yet, removing 22 tons a day of VOCs by 2006.

The Week That Was is the first solo project from Field Music co-founder Peter Brewis. He has released one album - the self-titled 2008 debut - under the moniker.
For those that don't know, Sunderland-based Field Music released two full albums, the eponymous 2005 debut and 2007's Tones of Town, both of which became one of many peoples' albums of the year. Perhaps willfully to some, Field Music, on the cusp of breaking through, decided, "to get off the band treadmill" concerned that being in a band in the traditional sense was restricting their creative output. The first fruits of this artistic freedom was David Brewis' much lauded School of Language album Sea From Shore in Feb 08..the second is The Week That Was, Peter's first solo foray.

Good Questions: How Can We Hang Shelves on these Delicate Walls?
Dear AT,
We love the amount of space we have, but even with that there isn't enough floor space for everything we own.
Our apartment is very old and you can't put anything on the walls.
Either the nail just wont go in or it falls out once it is in.
We have tried anchors and very very light shelves, but we are desperate for solutions.
My father is an art director and made me wonderful shelves to hang from the ceiling in one room.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for hanging shelves on the walls instead of hanging everything from the ceiling? Thanks! Isabel

Link To All Good Questions

To go the Shelf Shop on the Upper East Side. They have these tension-rod held, completely customizeable, shelves that are awesome. Here's their website:
Don't be put off by the fug that is their websiteâthe shelves are a great solution to crappy walls, uneven floors, and weird spaces (like above a radiator).
If there are studs at the top of your walls, you might want to look into picture rail molding. I'm not sure how much weight it can hold, though.
I had a similar problem with crumbly walls when I tried to install decorative curtain rods. There are special anchors made for this problem, (NOT the regular plastic circle ones with butterfly legs) which are made of metal and look like an H with a hole in the middle for the screw. You hammer them in not screw, yes, it takes a few hard blows, but they work! They will stay in the wall (whether you like it or not) and they have kept my heavy floorlength silk curtains up with no problem.
why don't the studs work? it seems like there might be more serious problems than just being unable to hang shelves if the studs don't hold things...
We've got plaster walls here and it's a nightmare to hang things. We got special anchors but yet we're not confident with the result. :( Considering our building is exactly 1 year old, it should be stronger, right?
Molly bolts (aka metal toggle bolt anchors) and/or large concrete or brick screws are the only hanging devices that work for me, but they make big holes that we'll have to deal with if we move. We're renting a house that has old lath and plaster walls backed by brick and then exterior stucco. I need to believe that there are studs in there...somewhere...but I have not found them, even after borrowing a fancy stud finder. The big bolts work.
I was beyond embarassed when the adjustable shelving that I put in the pantry space in a friend's VERY old apartment in an old Brooklyn brownstone came crashing down one day.
So... to put them back up, what I did was... I got an entire sheet of ply-wood, and basically screwed it into the wall with as many screws as I possibly could. See, it was a plaster wall which was the old-timey kind with lattice behind the plaster, and some of the screws would go in-between the lattice and some of them WOULD hit the lattice but with that many of them it was definitely going to hold. But the REAL kicker is that since I was basically standing the sheet of plywood on its edge onto the actual floor, the FLOOR would be bearing most of the actual weight.
Anyway... then I painted the plywood out to just be white, like the wall had already been, and I put the shelving back up, and it's been holding just fine ever since.
That's just one thought. Meanwhile, since this was actually a closet there happened not to be any baseboard molding in the way of what I was doing, so... keep that in mind if you end up taking my suggestion.
I'll mention also that in houses past I've used molly bolts in drywall to hang floating bookshelves. However, one needs to bury a few screws in a stud and use molly bolts in the drywall elsewhere to make the job sustainable.
I'm assuming that your walls are plaster, right?
Are you drilling pilot holes before you hammer nails in? With plaster walls, a tiny pilot hole can do wonders. If the plaster and lathe are very close to underlying brick, you may need to use a masonry bit to drill. Just make sure the bit you use is smaller than the nail you'll be using. Putting a piece of painter's tape on the wall where you plan to drill will prevent the plaster on the surface from crumbling when the bit makes contact with the surface.
For hanging pictures, use a good picture hanger (like Ook brand) with the supplied nail. For shelves, either drill directly into studs (if you have any -- it's possible that your walls are plaster and lathe directly over structural brick), or use an anchor labeled specifically for use in plaster walls -- and make sure to check the weight limits for each anchor/screw. Again, always drill first.
My house is 125 years old and has plaster walls -- and I have shelves hanging all over the place that carry very heavy loads (dishes, books, etc.).
Finding studs in plaster is an art...the only way I've found is to get the smallest drill bit I can find and start drilling holes an inch apart until I hit one. Patch the holes & repaint...a pain, but that's the only way I've found.
Molly bolts are great, but they have weight ratings and I think floating shelves with things like books on them really weigh too much. You need floating shelves really bolted in several places from the stud...
Good luck!
Try 3M Command hooks. They even have picture-hanging strips that are like really strong velcro.
How about a leaning-ladder-style bookshelf?
I have the same problem and have had success with these: http://www.magichooks.net/1743625.html
Just a note on Curtis's comment...
The "lattice" he refers to is actually lathe, which is NOT structural -- it's there solely to support the weight of the plaster and its components. You should NEVER rely on lathe as a support when hanging anything on the wall. It's OK to drill/nail into the lathe, but don't count on it to provide any additional weight support over the long term. Wood lathe is the very reason why it can be so hard to find the studs in old walls -- studfinders often can't distinguish between studs and lathe, and test-drilling can be very tricky.
Curtis, I don't doubt that your shelves are sturdy, but that's most likely because you hit a stud or two when you were screwing the plywood to the wall -- plus, as you mentioned, the floor is functioning as support.
In my 100 year old apt. I have had a leak, and have actually seen the wall opened up and observed the structure. It's best to treat it as a brick or concrete wall with about a 1" covering, which is the lathe and plaster. Pilot holes are good; the lathe and plaster will hold most pictures; but for heavy mirrors or shelves, or cabinets, you need to use whatever system you would use for a concrete wall.
The good thing about not having studs is that they don't govern where you hang stuff.
If you use a big masonry bit, and sink a big bolt or screw, anything will stay up.
The trade-off for all this work is that you can have a smooth, cool plaster wall with a finish much more elegant than you can achieve with sheetrock.
We use the 3m Command hooks and they really hold. Each pack clearly notes how much weight each hook will hold. (And check the weight of whatever you're hanging on a scale, It's really impossible to guesstimate weight by picking the object up.)
Those 3M picture tabs look like the perfect solution here at the office... I'm still scraping giant tabs of velcro from the walls, as carefully as possible, because it DOES pull the paint and plaster off when removed. And our walls are just barely framed drywall. Thanks for the tip!
I wouldn't use command hooks for shelves, unless it is only for feathers or marshmallows.
As mentioned above, molly bolt a great solution for drywall. My Ikea Lack wall shelves hold up nicely. I never have to worry about falling.
You can always ask people at your hardware store to pick the proper anchor for you. You'd need to know the wall type and asset the weight you'll put on the shelves.
I hope this video helps!
Anne at D16 -
THANK you! Lathe! I knew I was onto something, but you're right... AND you're right, methinks it's really the studs that have made it as sturdy as it is, but yes, my main point was the FLOOR thing is what really was making it work well.
I recently hung a 32" LCD TV on a mortar & lathe wall which I have read is a big no no. Molly and toggle bolts were crumbling the wall before i even got them through so I knew this would not work.
My solution? I took a piece of plywood and fixed it to the wall with normal screws on each corner and a quick epoxy between the wood and the wall. I then used the provided screws with the mount and drilled them through the plywood into the wall behind. This provided added security when hanging the mount and TV.
Perhaps you can create a plywood fronting for your shelves to mount on as I did for the TV mount... a long enough screw will go through the plywood, the plaster, and rest into the lathe behind it (about 4 inches in my case)
I can warn you not to use epoxy. We have a 150 year old house with crumbling plaster and I thought we were very clever using mighty putty to put up our shelves...until they came crashing down - the mighty putty held; the plaster did not. Now not only do we not have shelves, but there is a huge hole in our plaster walls.
Concrete Screws!
I live in an old apartment building with brick directly behind the lathe/plaster walls. The best advice I got when we moved in was to use concrete screws if we wanted to attach anything to the walls. So far I have not had any problems with anything hanging on the walls, including the gigantic mirror directly above the fireplace. Oh, and the hint about painters tape is so right on, I wish I would have discovered that in the beginning.
To figure out what you should do here, you really need to understand what your walls are. What they aren't: plaster. Plaster is a finish material. It will no more hold a screw than sheetrock will, whether or not you hit the lath behind it. If your walls are frame behind the plaster, you need to find the studs. If they are masonry, you need a masonry anchor as described by other commenters here.
Is there a utility room or other unfinished room where you can see the back of the wall? Anywhere you can poke your head in with a flashlight and maybe get an idea of the wall's construction? You may have mini-studs--furring strips, basically--between the brick and the plaster if it's a brick building. If it's frame, the studs will likely be either 16" or 24" on center, possibly 20", so if you can figure it out, you have good odds of hitting them once you find the first one.
Whatever you do, for God's sake do not just go putting a kazillion screws into hundred-year-old plaster. It will be destroyed, and whether or not you care about the irresponsibility of that, it will create crumbly plaster dust that will just keep coming and coming.
You could fill the drilled hole with a chemical anchor and then drill another hole when the compound has hardened.

I was in a front-end collision last year and still have neck pain. The doctors can't find anything and the MRIs are all negative. Is there any explanation for this kind of lingering pain?
No known cause for chronic neck pain after frontal impact has been discovered yet. Scientists are studying the problem carefully. Many theories have been proposed including:
These are just a few ideas of how pain from a neck injury can become chronic. The more we find out about the steps in the pain process, the better our chances will be in preventing the pain in the first place or stopping the pain once it starts.

Right now, I cover my kids' health insurance. My ex is saying that she wants to cover their insurance now, and she's currently having her lawyer write up paperwork so that this could be changed in the decree.
She said she isn't going to raise my child support because of this, but I'm not fully certain. Should I agree to this change, or is it a bad idea?

I spent most of my childhood and early teen years in Rosedale part of Kansas City KS that use to be a Town. and my dad and others use to tell us ghost stories about this castle and its spooky lookin and it was made a state landmark so knowone dares tresspass on its grounds anymore here is pic and info.by: Becky Ray PRESENTLY UNDER REVISION
I believe to prove a haunting; you must thoroughly research the history of the location and all persons involved. There must be credible correlating stories about the haunting, as this is the only proof we can obtain at this time. As other paranormal investigators know, getting inside of Sauer Castle to conduct an investigation is not easy, but I have not given up doing so. Since I cannot do this at this time, finding the root of the rumors about the mansion has become my goal. However, this is almost as difficult as contacting the present owner!HISTORY
I did a complete background report on the home, and its owners and occupants from builder Anton (also known as Anthony) Philip Sauers birth, to his relocation to America, to the building of the Castle, his death, and to the present owner. Ill try to keep it short for this medium.
Anton Sauer was born in Germany to a scrupulously strict and punctual father and an economical mother. At age 17, he moved to Russia to work for a year and a half before moving to Vienna, Austria. There he married his first wife Francesca and together they had the first five Sauer children: Gustave O.L., Anthony Philip Jr., Julius J., Emil, and Johanna.
In 1858, the Sauer family immigrated to New York City where Antons mother and sister already were. Sadly, Francesca died in 1868. Shortly after this, Sauer moved his family to Kansas City, partly due to business, partly due to his worsening health. He had developed tuberculosis while in Europe.
After establishing himself as a successful businessman in Kansas City, he met Mrs. Mary (Maria) Einhellig Messerschmidt, a 28-year-old widow. Mary had two daughters from this union, Anna and Maria Messerschmidt. After a brief courtship, Anton and Mary married in 1869. Together they had five daughters of which four survived to maturity. They were Eva Marie, Antoinette, Josephine (sometimes listed as Fosefa), and Clara. Daughter Helen (sometimes listed as Frances) died in infancy age 14 months.
Furnished and occupied by November 1872, Sauer Castle was without a doubt a castle, and a fortress, for it stood not far from the old Shawnee Indian trail that was part of the old Santa Fe Trail. Many immigrant wagons passed here on their way west. Along the trail came many men soured by the last war, aimless, and not too particular how their money came to them.
Sauer knew that some day his tuberculosis would claim his life. On a hot summer night, August 16, 1879, he died in the second floor master bedroom, succumbing to the tuberculosis that had driven him west. After Anton Sauers death, Mary Sauer continued to live in their house until her death in 1919.
Daughter Eve Maria Sauer was to marry twice. Her first marriage only lasted 18 months and was to Mr. William C. Van Fossen. This marriage took place at the Sauer Estate. They had one daughter, Helen, before the marriage failed. Her second marriage was to prominent local Wyandotte County businessman and landowner, Mr. John S. Perkins, himself a widower with six grown daughters. From this union, Eve had three children. At the age of 73, John S. Perkins took his own life with a handgun at the family mansion. He was reportedly very despondent over his declining health.
John Harrison Perkins, son of Eve and John S. Perkins, had an infant daughter tragically drown in the swimming pool on the west side of the home. Eve continued to live in the family home with her son and two daughters, Eva Marie Perkins, and Marguerite A. Perkins, until her death in 1955.
Five generations of the Sauer family lived in the castle before Paul Berry, owner of a home heating oil company, purchased the land and mansion from the Sauer heirs following Eves death, and resided there until his death in December of 1986. While Berry was the owner, he had to forcefully eject trespassers, vandals, and looters on several occasions. He lived in the castle alone with his dog. Berry tried to maintain the house as his home, but had to constantly deal with rocks careening through the windows, continual break-ins, and bodily assault in his own home. This was probably due to the publicity the house started receiving as a haunted house in the 1930s.
In January of 1987, Bud Wyman and his son and daughter in law, Cliff and Cindy Jones, bought the home with the intent to give haunted tours. While they were the owners, for the first time in the history of the home, no one lived there on a regular basis.
The property was entered on the Register of Historic Kansas Places on July 1, 1977; the National Register of Historic Places on August 2, 1977; and became listed as a Kansas City Kansas Historic Landmark on January 29, 1987.
Anthony Sauers great, great grandson, Mr. Carl Lopp, bought the family mansion in 1988, with the intent to restore it to its glory and live there. But this has not been easy.
On August 15, 1996, the caretaker hired by Carl Lopp was charged with felony theft for stealing at least $30,000 worth of articles from the landmark. Items stolen at this time included an antique chandelier, wall sconces, and antique dress and a garden tractor. In addition, copper was stripped from a turn of the century heating unit in the basement.
In 1999, the Wyandotte County Unified Board of Commissioners created a redevelopment district for 41 acres, an area that included Sauer Castle. This was over the objections of present owner, Carl Lopp. Lopp was criticized by Unified Government commissioners for inaction during his 11 years of ownership to that date. Lopp protested stating, No one loves the castle more than I do. Its been my dream since I was a small child to reacquire it and bring it back into the family.
Shortly after this, Lopp added an eight foot, green, chain link fence across a low rock wall in the front of mansion. Even to add such a simple security fence was an ordeal for Lopp. The Kansas City, Kansas Landmarks Commission must approve anything Lopp does to his own property, since Bud Wyman and his family saw to it that the home became listed as a historic landmark. In the past, and most likely to this day, Lopp has been unable to obtain insurance to the property due to the many acts of vandalism.
According to the November 1, 1999 minutes of the Kansas City, Kansas Landmarks Commission meeting, several local residents appeared in support of Lopp and the fence. One resident showed the Commission photos of a deer that had been killed with a bow and arrow on Lopps property and then brought into the Castle property to be gutted. The hunter was clearly trespassing and Lopp stated that deer are on the property every night.
Early in 2000, mortar was repaired in the red brick and the broken windows and balconies were restored. But even getting this done was a trial for Mr. Lopp. According to Landmark Commission meeting minutes, one of the members stated that he believed one of the brick window frames to be new. Lopp was then asked to provide historic photographs showing that this frame was not new. Reading through the Landmark Commission meeting minutes is extremely frustrating. I can only imagine what Carl Lopp must have been going through.
In June of 2000, Lopp stated that he planned to move into the home later that summer, but due to delays, this has yet to happen and Lopp remains in New York City and the property remains listed on the Kansas Preservation Alliances Most Endangered Property list.MYTHS/LEGENDS
There seem to be more myths about this grand building than people who know the truth about it. One of the legends is that members of the Sauer family are buried on the property. In actuality, Anton Sauer died a month after the death of his infant daughter, Helen. When Maria Sauer realized her husband was dying, she temporarily buried Helen in the family garden. When Anthony died, both were then buried side by side on the same day in Union Hill Cemetery.
Another legend I was told is that there are buried treasures on the property. Some think that this comes from the small stone house that was built over the huge wine cellar on the south side of the house. The Sauer family stored food and goods there for many years, and it is still intact and in perfect condition. However, in my research, I did find the original source of this rumor. After Sauers death, a fence was being built at the edge of the grounds. A spade struck a brick and led to the discovery of a brick base about two feet underground with a flat stone at each corner. On each of the four flat stones, arrows had been chiseled, pointing in the same general direction. These arrows were taken to mean that a hidden treasure might be found if the searchers could discover the point where the lines from the arrows converged. No treasure was ever found.
Many people in the area of the home believe there is a secret tunnel to the Kaw River. However, Shawnee Hill is solid ledge rock, and making a tunnel would be a very large and laborious task. Some local historians propose that this myth is from people mistaking this legend with the Quindaro Slave Tunnel. For those not familiar with this legend, the Quindaro Slave Tunnel was supposedly an underground passageway built during Civil War days for the transportation of escaped slaves into the free city of Quindaro from the Missouri River. No proof that either tunnel ever existed has been found. Why the Sauers would have such a tunnel built never seems to come up in explanations.
One legend I heard is that there are radium springs on the property. This one probably came from the large springs on the south side of the property. However, these are just natural springs. Radium springs are a hot odorless mineral water that has long been known for its soothing and healing powers for aches and pains. If such springs were on the property, Im sure someone would have put them to use by now.
A common legend I was told was that the land the castle was built on was stolen from the Shawnee Indians. In 1859, Tom Bigknife was given the title to this property and he sold sections of it. Some say that Bigknife had the title stolen from him, or he was tricked out of it, however, the deed and papers are on file in the courthouse in the office of the Register of Deeds, and they show that the Indian Commission approved the sale. Since Bigknife continued to live on the property, this is also highly unlikely.
But my favorite legend goes with the haunting stories. Murders on the Property. The stories I was told say that one of the former owners killed his entire family (a wife, and either one or two children depending on who is telling the story) and buried them in the backyard. Shortly after, he committed suicide by throwing himself from the tower. These stories sometimes make the crazed man Anthony Sauer himself or even his son in law, John Perkins. There was never a hanging at the house, although as stated earlier, John S. Perkins did take his own life with a handgun in the home and Mr. Sauer died in the master bedroom of tuberculosis. No murders have ever taken place in the mansion.BUT IS IT HAUNTED?
This was the reason for all my research, and Im still not sure. My feeling is that it is not. This is just a beautiful empty house that seems to beg for ghost stories to be attached to it. I must admit, it does resemble the Addams Family mansion.
Haunting rumors go back to the 1930s and the house has received much publicity as such. Tales of fire in the tower or lights flickering off and on (sunset reflecting off the windows) and ghosts moaning (wind whistling through the weather stripping in the tower) were circulating but no one knew where they originated. Historian J.R. Russell attempted to discredit the rumors in his 1975 Kansas City Kansan article Old Mansion Filled with Legend. J.R. Russell was at one time Carl Lopps attorney, and is a distant relative.
Even the types of hauntings vary greatly depending on whom you get your story from. Some ghost lore seems to stem from the belief that since there were four deaths in the house, it must be haunted. These deaths being Mr. Anthony Sauer, his daughter Helen, his son in laws suicide, and the drowning of his great granddaughter.
Some say that Mary Sauer would walk the widows walk at the top of the four-story tower early in the evenings and sometimes late at night. For anyone who has been up there, it is obvious why. It has been compared to sitting in front of a cool fan on a hot day. Mary lived in the house until her death in 1919. Perhaps it was simply Mary atop the tower at night that was mistaken for a ghostly figure.
In an article called, The Phantom of Sauer Castle, by John Hughes published in Star Magazine in October of 1987, he stated that some psychics who visited the tower believe a doctor shot himself there and claimed to have sensed a medicinal smell. Hughes did not say who these psychics were. However, a later mention of Maurice Schwalm in the article leads me to believe that he was the psychic. Schwalm was the organizer of an Occult Studies Special Interest Group in the Kansas City branch of Mensa. He wrote two feature articles that were published in Fate Magazine and had a radio program in Kansas City where he would give call in answers to listeners with psychic problems.
The owner of the house at the time of Hughes article was Cindy Jones. I was also unable to find Ms. Jones in my research. When Jones family bought the home in January of 1987, their intent was to lead tours of the home dressed in period clothing. Of course, a little ghost lore wouldnt hurt business. In his article, Jones states, Ive been terrified, and most of the time its during the day. My father-in-law laughs at me, but he has to admit that hes had experiences he cant explain. I can feel it, but I keep wondering if its just in my head. Jones went on to relay to Hughes a couple of strange happenings in the house. Her first story took place in the library. One of her friends had asked to have her wedding at the mansion the previous February. A lot of work had to be done to prepared the neglected home for the occasion with the wedding date set for Valentines Day, February 14. Visiting the Sauer family graves, Jones discovered that Josephine Sauer Kinney had died on February 14, 1967, twenty years to the date of her friends wedding.
With all the people in the library of the house working to prepare it for the special day wearing masks to avoid breathing the dust and the windows open, Jones father in law began using a crowbar to tear out the ceiling. Jones was in the middle of the room shoveling debris when something seemed to fall from the ceiling. It was a newspaper clipping that looked to be about 20 years old with a photograph of a woman in a wedding gown. Spooky? Yes, but proof of a haunting? Hardly.
During the interview, Hughes notes that the fireplace cover rattled furiously. If you are familiar with Kansas City winds, especially up on a hill, you know what causes that type of sound. Could this sound be heard outside by others and thought to be something else? Absolutely.
Jones also told of a day that she woke up with the idea to go take photos of the Sauer family plot. It was May 1. When she got to the graveside, she noticed that one of the Sauers had died on May 1. I hate to be a party pooper, but I bet I could go to any cemetery today and find someone who died on this day.
Jones recalled her most frightening experience to Hughes in the attic level of the tower. It seems Ms. Jones always kept a .22 derringer in her pocket. Given the trouble that Mr. Berry had with break-ins, this is not surprising. On the particular day of her story, she had forgotten her gun and asked her husband to go back to their home and retrieve it. No sooner had he left, when Jones heard a noise coming from the attic that she could not explain. She remained where she was until her husband returned. Together they went to the attic and there was nothing there. Once again, I feel compelled to bring up the Kansas City winds.
I started to completely doubt the credibility of Jones tales on her final story. She claims she had a sound activated tape recorder that had picked up an unexplained melodic Ooo-Ooo. Yes, thats right Ooo-Ooo. Not words, but the old favorite of ghost languages Ooo-Ooo. Of course this recording had been lost as some kids had erased the original.
While Jones was the owner, the home was a favorite place for psychics. Jones claimed they told her the attic was the center for paranormal activity. Maurice Schwalm was one Jones invited to the house. He was convinced that a photo he took of the house clearly showed a haunting. However, all that his photo showed was a scratch of light over the doorway and another over an upstairs bedroom. I could not reach Schwalm for comment, but he was notorious at the time of the article for getting his name in print. Several people have faith in Schwalm and believe he knows what he is talking about.
I started asking around locally for haunting stories when I began this research early in 2003. However, for a house that most people in Kansas City consider to be haunted, no one has any activity stories. One of the legends I heard frequently is that a young boy haunts it. No one knew who this boy was supposed to be, or what he did. That is just the story that they have heard and believed.
Some people told me that there have been frequent apparition sightings by previous residents. But when questioned as to who these residents were, no one knew names or time periods. Just another legend. This reminded me of when I was child. The house three doors down was empty. Now, this wasnt a beautiful castle like the Sauer place. This was just a ranch style house with a very large tree in the front yard. We referred to this as the haunted house, as it was very spooky to look at. The entire front of the house was hidden in the shadows of the tree. After a couple of years, a family moved in and I got to know them. I visited this house frequently. It was definitely not haunted, but the legend was there because we started it in our fear of the unknown.
While Paul Berry owned the home, he protected it with a shotgun filled with rock salt. His German Shepard was his only living companion, and a past throat accident left him with a wailing bark. Many people mistook this for a haunting. Some say Berry was a hermit for the 30 years he lived there.
One very strange post was found on an Internet bulletin board. I have tried to locate to person who posted it, but to no avail. He or she only left an email address, and that email is a dead end. The post is as follows:
When I went to Sauer castle, it was called Igors. It had a strange caretaker named Mr. Berry who would chase away the cults there for their black masses. The story of the main haunting and the ghost that we saw was of a woman. The story is this she would go up to the widows walk, and look out at the river. One day and no one knew why she hung [sic] herself up there. You could see her in the tall windows swing; the family moved to the east and left a caretaker for the place. The pictures we took show the figure of a woman in the fount upstairs window on the right looking at the house and another on the enter stairs. We never heard the story of the boy.
I have never heard anyone else make any reference to the place being called Igors.
One thing I do know for certain is that keeping a caretaker on the property has been an unpleasant task for Carl Lopp, the current owner. Caretakers seem to have a habit of not staying very long at the Castle. One could speculate that this is due to a haunting, but I feel it may be more the result of endless frustration in trying to protect the property from the curious as well as the vandals who try to enter the property nightly. I believe the addition of the fence has helped slow the trespassing, but there will always be prying minds as long as the house remains abandoned and mysterious.
