Jockey Quotes
GARRETT GOMEZ, SWITCH, Winner: "It kind of set up for her today. Things kind of worked out, but she was traveling very well. I had some difficulty on the turn with her, a little miscommunication, but once I got her lined up turning for home, she did what she was supposed to do and her class just showed. She showed she is a nice mare. I don't know how many Grade I races she has won (two), but she ran a really nice race today and hopefully she will continue to get back on the form that she once had."
MARTIN GARCIA, SUGARINTHEMORNING, Second: "She is a great filly, she always tries so hard. I let her run away from the gate, she wanted to be there. We tried to get to the lead, she did and I got beat by a really good horse."
CHANTAL SUTHERLAND, GLAMORISTA, Third: "She always runs hard. We came out of the gate, unfortunately (Mildly Offensive) came in and she tripped on her hind legs, so that kind of got us a little off our game, but she recovered nicely and now it was just a waiting game and see if I could get a hole. It worked out beautifully and we were able to be third.''
Trainer Quotes
JOHN SADLER, SWITCH, Winner: "It's been a rough season for me with my (graded stakes) horses. We ended up strong, so that's really good. There were a lot of Saturdays through the middle of the meet here where we were second or third, and we're supposed to be winning those races. I'm very relieved and happy and we'll keep working. That's our program. Sometimes you take steps. We knew with Switch, she wasn't real sharp in her first race (May 5 at Churchill Downs) and I thought she needed her last race (when fourth in the Desert Stormer Handicap June 17), so it moved her forward for this one. It's all a process. (Lee and Susan Searing's C R K Stables) brought her back this year just to try her again in the Breeders' Cup. She's been second (in the BC Filly and Mare Sprint) the last two years. Now we get a Breeders' Cup at home. I love the 'Win and You're In.' I think that's tremendous. You save a lot of money on entry fees and you take the pressure off. She's been a very good horse for us.''

Just saying the name "Robert Pattinson" is enough to make girls around the world swoon, but before the first "Twilight" premiered in 2008, Pattinson, then 22, was relatively new to the film industry. He had a few small film credits until 2005, when he starred as Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Pattinson didn't think he had a chance at scoring the role of Edward Cullen in "Twilight."
"I was literally embarrassed walking into the audition," he told Vanity Fair in 2008. "I had no idea how to play Edward at all. I thought that even going into the audition was completely pointless, because they were just going to cast a model or something. I felt it was kind of arrogant of me to even go in."
But Pattinson became Cullen and the rest is history, though he has broken out of the Twi-hard bubble for leading roles in more serious films including "Cosmopolis," "Water for Elephants" and "Remember Me."
And he's gotten involved in his fair share of controversies. After his onscreen love and offscreen girlfriend admitted to having an affair with her married "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, Pattinson went into hiding. But the actor, who has admitted that he doesn't have a publicist because he's "cheap," has rarely discussed his relationship with Stewart.
"I've never been interested in trying to sell my personal life and that's really the only reason people bring it up," Pattinson told Good Morning America one month after the affair. "The reason you go on to TV is to promote movies. That's the only way to do it."

Hello, new member here. I just recently have gotten into archery, and long story short I traded some man cave stuff for a Martin Take down bow, I have no ideal what the name of the bow is and it is missing a arrow rest and who knows what else. For the moment I've just been shooting the arrows off the shelf with it.
It's a left handed take down bow which rules out the Jaguar from what I understand. It has a camo aluminum grip section with all sorts of holes some threaded some not, The limbs are black and say Martin, the only other writing on the limbs I can find is white letters that say at 28" #50 so I assume this is at 28 inch draw the weight is 50lbs? The guy included a manual with it but it's for the Jaguar so that has me really confused as everything I've read everybody says a left handed Jaguar was never made I asked the guy the name of the bow and said he thought it was a Tracer, but I can find nothing listed on the Martin website about a Tracer.
I can take some pictures and post them up if that would help, main reason for wanting to know about this bow is I'm looking for a sight rest that will fit it, mainly the stinger rest w/ mount it says it'll fit any martin bow so I assume this one would work? Also was curious if fast flight strings would be ok to use with it? Oh and any ideal where the length might listed on it? The string that came with it was a 14 strand 60" dacron so I'm guess it's the right string since I've shot it and it appears to be ok.
Any ideals what I've got here and what parts will work with it?

Scandinavian countries all have a close association and long history on the water…remember the Vikings? Here you'll have pristine waterscapes in which to kayak, canoe, and sail, enjoying fabulous views of fjords and beaches. Don't forget that invigorating sauna and swim at the end of your active day!
Denmark is the ideal destination for an active holiday in the blue element. Set sail in calm, deep fjords or the small sounds ringed by beach trees. Klitmøller and Vorupør are names that ring bells with surfers around the globe – there's no need to wait for the wind to come up because it's always windy in Denmark. If you spot a surfer with a sail caught high in the wind instead of fixed to the board then you're looking at kite surfing, the latest trend in surf sports. Canoeing might appeal if you prefer calmer communion with water; Denmark has countless navigable rivers. Prefer a kayak? Then into the fjords and inshore waters you go, or at the other extreme, take a sea kayak in the Copenhagen canals for sightseeing.
Kayaks and canoes are the way to a lot of fun in the waterways of Norway. Close to Bergen, the Nærøyfjord is perfect for paddling. Western Norway has dozens of fjords worth checking out but there great opportunities for canoeing and kayaking throughout the country. Paddling along the Telemark Canal or on Lake Femunden in the wilderness of Hedmark is especially popular. You can also go sea kayaking on the Oslofjord or on one of the many lakes in the forests that surround Oslo. Sea, river and lake paddling are three different experiences, but each one offers a special closeness to nature and the chance to observe bird and wildlife that motor noise would never allow. You also have the option for a variety of scuba diving; for the ultimate indulgence go above the Arctic Circle, where you might get the chance to dive with the magnificent killer whales during the winter season.
Take your canoe and glide silently and smoothly across a clear lake in Finland. One of the best places for canoeing in Finland is on the extensive waterways of Saimaa. You can choose a short, relaxing canoe or kayak trip lasting a few hours, or go on a trip lasting days or even weeks. Routes are varied, mainly sheltered and suitable for both canoeing and kayaking. And if you get hungry, Finland's salmon rivers offer fly-fishing enthusiasts splendid opportunities to wear down genuine whoppers.
With an enormous coastline exquisite and diverse archipelagos and at least one hundred thousand lakes, Sweden has more then a lot to offer those in search of aqua. Activities include windsurfing, diving, sailing, cruising, swimming, skiing and so much more. Hundreds of canoeing routes criss-cross Sweden from north to south. Paddle to places the larger boats never venture and find your very own tranquil paradise on some deserted island. Seeking something a bit unusual? Then build your own timber raft using only logs and rope and go rafting down a river, or try wreck diving on one of thousands of sunken ships along the Swedish coast. It's said that diving to an undisturbed wreck is like travelling back in a time machine.
Some places in Iceland, where swirling glacial rivers race over rugged terrain on their way seaward, the scenery looks custom-built for river rafting. Thre's a choice of routes with different levels of challenge - for newcomers who want to experience the basic thrill and more difficult rides for the really wild at heart. Kayaking just off the Icelandic coast is an unforgettable experience; lucky kayakers might also get a close-up glimpse of a seal or rare birdlife.
Thanks to an abundance of hot water, swimming is probably the most popular activity in Iceland. Almost every town and village has a swimming pool, usually outdoors, which is filled with hot water to a comfortable temperature and kept open year round. Many people enjoy swimming lengths in the pools, but most go to sit in the circular "hot pots" and have a good chat with their friends.
Warm Mediterranean hospitality will linger in your memories.
The North Sea region brings a body of water famous for fiercely beautiful coastal areas.
The Pyrenees Mountains straddle the border between Spain and France.

A pink rhodonite butterfly is the centerpiece of this whimsical necklace, accented by a sterling silver heart charm that reads "Love" on the front and "as if you've never been hurt" on the reverse.

A great gift for all ages, the necklace measures 16" long and is adjustable to 20" long with a sterling silver extender chain and spring ring clasp. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are private liberal arts higher education institutions that share a common curriculum and coordinated academic and extracurricular activities. The Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict founded the College of Saint Benedict in 1913 with an intentional commitment to the education of women. Saint John's University was founded in 1856 by the monks of Saint John's Abbey as a men's university. Both campuses, located six miles apart, have a coeducational atmosphere. The mission of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University is to provide the very best residential liberal arts education in the Catholic Benedictine university tradition. They foster integrated learning, exceptional leadership for change and wisdom for a lifetime.
The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) is a private women's Catholic liberal arts college located in St. Joseph, Minnesota. CSB is a residential campus with approximately 2,051 students of which 1,627 lived on the campus in 28 residence facilities and apartment complexes for 2012. The College of Saint Benedict is closely associated with the Saint Benedict's Monastery. The college and the monastery are separate corporations that work closely together and function as a community. The CSB campus consists of 290 acres with 61 buildings. Approximately 2,051 students, 185 faculty, 184 administrators, 187 support staff, and 101 sisters are members of the college/monastic communities. The monastic community resides on approximately 257 additional acres.
Saint John's University (SJU) is a private, liberal arts university for men located in Collegeville, Minn. SJU is a residential campus with 1,497 students residing on campus in 35 residence areas and apartment complexes for 2012. The university is owned by its sponsoring organization, Saint John's Abbey (The Order of Saint Benedict, Inc.). The abbey and university share an 80-acre campus in the midst of a 2,800-acre tract of woodlands and lakes. Approximately 1,839 undergraduates, 130 coeducational graduate School of Theology students, 205 faculty, 283 administrators, 296 support staff, and 109 monks are members of the university/monastic communities.

CSB/SJU student organizations do not own any off-campus facilities.
CSB Department of Security - SJU Department of Life Safety
Since no campus is completely free of crime, CSB and SJU have developed a series of policies and procedures relating to campus security. These policies and procedures are designed to ensure that community members are fully aware of safety issues on the campuses and actions to be taken to prevent and report illegal and inappropriate activities. CSB/SJU expressly reserves the right to modify or adopt additional policies or procedures at any time without notice. Such changes may appear in successive issues of this report. The CSB Department of Security and the SJU Department of Life Safety have been established to assist the institutions in this objective. Representatives of the student body, faculty and staff have collaborated over time to develop policies and procedures to assure the well-being of all persons and the safety of their possessions. The effects of these policies and procedures also extend to members of our academic community who live away from the campus.
The CSB Director of Security and the SJU Director of Life Safety maintain close working relationships with the St. Joseph Police Department and the Stearns County Sheriff's Department for assistance with criminal incidents occurring on the campuses and support services for special events. The directors also maintain a close working relationship with all elements of the criminal justice system. Regular meetings are held with other agencies, both formally and informally, and crime-related reports and statistics are routinely exchanged.
CSB Department of Security
CSB Department of Security, under the administration of the director of security, is responsible for the enforcement of federal, state and local laws as well as college policies and rules. Security officers are responsible for first-response services until emergency assistance is available by local police, fire or medical agencies. Security officers provide a safe environment that enhances the campus learning experience and complements the college's Benedictine values.
The Department of Security is located in the west wing of Mary Hall Commons. A security officer is available 24 hours a day. The security staff consists of non-commissioned professional security officers augmented by student security officers. The staff meets all standards as established by Minnesota state statute to provide routine security services including the escort service as well as emergency response services.

Crime Prevention and Reporting
Because the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University operate in collaboration and the fact that persons from either institution may teach, study, work or socialize on both campuses, the two institutions cooperate in establishing and enforcing policies and procedures for security. The shared philosophy to take proactive roles to reduce the opportunities for criminal activity results in programs which attempt to eliminate or minimize criminal opportunities while at the same time encourage students and employees to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. Individuals are urged to act responsibly and take sensible precautions to protect themselves and their possessions. CSB and SJU have also developed comprehensive plans for collaborative management of crisis situations.
Students, employees and guests of CSB and SJU are encouraged to report all criminal activity and other emergencies to campus security. CSB Department of Security and SJU Department of Life Safety Services are the security offices to which all criminal reports are to be processed. Security officers will request assistance from law enforcement, rescue, fire and ambulance as appropriate. CSB and SJU reported crime documentation is forwarded to local law enforcement officials for follow up investigations and victims assistance. Members of the campus community are strongly encouraged to adhere to all local, state and federal laws and college rules of conduct. members of the campus community violating laws or college/university policies are referred into the campus judicial system for appropriate action.
Institutional policies are published in CSB's " Bennie Book" and SJU's " J-Book". Both student handbooks are electronically published on the home web sites (http://www.csbsju.edu) and include disciplinary policies and rules for their enforcement.

Crime Alerts
When the CSB Department of Security and/or SJU Department of Life Safety Services identifies a crisis situation and/or receives a formal security report indicating a violent crime has occurred on or near their campuses and there is a reasonable potential that the situation presents a threat to students, employees, or guests, "security alerts" will be prepared and posted in campus public areas in a timely manner. The bulletins posted at both campuses provide public information about the crime, along with prevention awareness information. CSB and SJU campuses also participate in ConnectEd, an electronic message notification system that allows security alerts and other messages of importance to be simultaneously transmitted to the recipient's computer (laptop or office workstation) and to their cell phones (voice and text). Additional information regarding ConnectEd can be found at http://www.csbsju.edu/ConnectEd.htm.
This brochure is published on-line with links from the CSB/SJU main webpage and gives statistical summaries of criminal and security activity incidents as prepared by the CSB Director of Security and the SJU Director of Life Safety Services.
Annual Report
A comprehensive CSB/SJU annual report of crime-related statistical data is compiled, published and distributed in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The CSB Director of Security and the SJU Director of Life Safety Services include local law enforcement statistics in the annual report.
Beginning in 2010, the Annual Report includes a Fire Safety component designed to inform individuals of reports of fires occurring in residential facilities. This portion of the report also details fire safety equipment (sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, CO detectors, etc) that is installed in residential facilities and discusses fire safety policies and procedures in place to ensure a safe learning/living environment.
Campus Facility Access
All CSB and SJU academic facilities are locked except for normal business hours and authorized events. CSB and SJU have a keying system in place that exceeds industry standards. All keys are controlled according to the Lock/Key Policy. All students living on CSB/SJU campuses are given crime awareness and prevention information at the beginning of each academic year. Residence hall meetings are the prime setting to share information with students and listen to their concerns. Students are instructed to keep their living quarters locked to protect themselves and their possessions. Verbal communications as well as printed materials in the form of brochures and posters are distributed.
CSB residential buildings are locked 24 hours daily. Resident students must utilize an electronic card access system for exterior doors/access into their residential building. Residents must escort their guests during visiting hours. Residents have the responsibility not only for their personal safety, but also for the safety of other members of their community. The effectiveness of the external electronic locking and internal single room key systems are dependent upon residents not holding exterior doors open and immediately reporting lost/stolen access cards and single room keys to the Department of Security and the resident hall staff.
At. SJU, the majority of campus residence halls have exterior doors on card access that are secured at night. Flynntown Residential Apartments do not have card access, but exterior doors are key-locked. Residents are encouraged to escort their guests during visiting hours. Additional security measures are in place during semester breaks.
Facility Design and Maintenance Service
The CSB Department of Security and facility maintenance managers and the SJU Department of Life Safety Services and physical plant managers review all construction projects, renovation plans and equipment purchases to assure that the most updated safety and security features are considered. Security officers and facility maintenance/physical plant employees, perform regular safety and security inspections of campus facilities and grounds. Reported repairs affecting safety and security issues are a priority service request to be completed by facility management/physical plant employees in a timely manner. While routine maintenance is done during normal business hours, emergency maintenance is available 24 hours a day, and can be arranged by contacting campus security.
Drug and Alcohol Policy
CSB and SJU promote the need for responsible behavior in all personal relationships and serious academic endeavors. With this understanding, CSB and SJU expects that all students and employees of the institutions will conduct themselves in a responsible manner that shows respect for others and the local community. CSB and SJU believe that an environment to enable both students and employees to pursue their goals should be fostered, and that this environment should be free from the effects of drug and/or alcohol abuse.
CSB and SJU comply with federal, state and local laws, which regulate the possession, use and sale of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances. Whether on campus or at college/university-sponsored activities, policies prohibit the following:
- Distribution, possession or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance;
- Providing alcoholic beverages to individuals under 21 years of age or possession of alcoholic beverages by individuals under 21 years of age;
- Illegal possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage, public intoxication, driving while intoxicated and drinking alcoholic beverages in an unlicensed, public place.
Hosts of campus events where alcoholic beverages are to be served must obtain a permit from the appropriate food service director of activities director and accept responsibility for assuring that all guests act responsibly.
CSB and SJU campus-wide programs such as employee development, Towards Zero Deaths, student government, counseling offices, career services and other individual residence hall coordinated programs promote education about chemical health and substance abuse. Programs that address alcohol-or drug-related issues, and emphasize the clear, statistical relationship between alcohol or drug abuse and many disorderly, unsafe or criminal activities, begin as a part of the first-year orientation. The CSB/SJU counseling offices and the CSB/SJU Health Centers provide assessment, assistance and intervention resources as necessary.
Possession of Weapons or Firearms
No weapons of any kind are allowed in the possession of CSB/SJU students, employees or guest/visitors. Enforcement in the broadest sense applies and includes any weaponry, whether real, toy or facsimile, that can cause bodily harm or threat of harm. Any exceptions to this policy, including those for academic or demonstration purposes, must be approved by the CSB Director of Security or the SJU Director of Life Safety Services.
Weapons use for game hunting or trapshooting must be registered with and securely stored at either CSB Security or SJU Life Safety Services.
No weapons of any kind are allowed on the CSB/SJU campus except those provided by ROTC and weapons for game hunting, including archery and trapshooting equipment that are registered with and stored at CSB Security. This statement is to include any weapons considered real that can cause bodily harm or threat. This policy specifically includes but is not limited to the prohibition of fireworks, firecrackers, firearms, BB Guns, explosive materials, or knives with blades in excess of four (4) inches. It also includes realistic replicas of real weapons.

Supervised Fire Drills
Mandatory, unannounced fire drills are conducted for each residence hall (an academic facility) during the fall of each year. Efforts are made to complete the drills early in the semester to provide timely training of fire evacuation procedures. Fire drills are often conducted with the assistance and cooperation of the St. Joseph Fire Department thereby offering a more realistic, coordinated response to benefit not only our students but local fire response units as well.
Fire-Related Policies
As part of its fire safety and prevention efforts, the College has implemented the following policies (with notable exceptions):
- Smoking is not permitted in any college-owned building, including residential facilities. Smoking is not allowed within 25 feet of the entrance to any college building.
- The College prohibits open flame devices (candles/incense burners, etc) in on-campus residential facilities unless prior approval is obtained for religious or spiritual observances.
- Flammable liquids/gases, fireworks and other explosive devices are prohibited on campus.
- The following items are prohibited in any non-kitchen area or residence hall room: portable space heaters, electrical appliances with an open heating element, sandwich makers, hot plates, electric grills, toasters, rice cookers, propane or charcoal grills, live or cut Christmas trees, halogen style lamps or any halogen lamp with a bulb that exceeds 95 watts.
- Microwaves are not permitted in first-year residence halls (Aurora, Corona & Regina).
- An emergency evacuation plan is located on the back of every residence hall room, apartment, and house door. Failure to evacuate in the event of a drill or actual fire may result in fines and follow-up with the conduct discplinary process. Tampering with fire safety equipment such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers may result in fines and follow-up with the conduct disciplinary process.
Fire Safety Education & Training
Students, faculty and staff have on-line access to emergency response information at http://www.csbsju.edu/Documents/About/EmergencyRe-WEB.pdf. This website provides instructions to be followed in the event of fire or other emergencies. Procedures specific to fire emergencies are as follows:
TO REPORT AN EMERGENCY, CALL: CSB Campus Security 320-363-5000 (x5000)
Treat all alarms as though they are real. Even if you don't see anything, you never know if there is trouble elsewhere in the building.
If there is smoke:
- Stay close to the floor.
- Hold your breath and close your eyes where possible.
- Test the door with the back of your hand. If it is hot, stay inside.
If you stay in the room, proceed with the following:
- Use wet clothing or towels to seal up the crack under the door.
- Open your window or break it open and hang a shirt or a bed sheet out the window to attract the attention of rescuers.
- Call CSB Security at 320-363-5000 and let them know where you are.
In the case of fire:
- Cover your face with a wet towel or piece of clothing and breathe through your nose.
- Wet a blanket, sheet or other large item and drape it over your shoulders.
- Crawl or crouch low to the floor.
- Do not use the elevator.
- If your clothing catches fire, remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL to put the flames out. Use a coat or blanket to smother flames.
- Cool (not cold) water may be applied to minor burns.
Building residents are not required or encouraged to fight fires. They may not use a fire extinguisher unless they have received training in its proper operation and use. Any individual trained in the use of a fire extinguisher (security officers, custodial staff, RD/RAs) may use a portable fire extinguisher to extinguish a small, isolated fire but must terminate the use of the extinguisher if immediate efforts fail and/or the individual is faced with danger from excessive smoke, heat or flames.
Evacuation Policy & Procedures
There are a number of reasons that may necessitate the evacuation of a residential area, academic building or other on-campus facility to include: fire, hazardous materials leaks or spills, explosions, natural gas leaks, power utility outages and bomb threats. Students/faculty/staff are normally alerted to fire emergencies via a fire alarm that may be apparent in the form of a bell, horn, siren, flashing strobe light or other means depending upon the equipment installed in the particular building. The college also utilizes ConnectEd, an electronic messaging system, to send emergency alerts by e-mail, text message and voice communications. In the event of an evacuation emergency, all persons in the affected building/area are expected to evacuate immediately using the nearest safe exit.
Students/faculty/staff are encouraged to know the location of all exits and safe zones (if supplied) of their buildings to facilitate the safe and rapid evacuation of buildings. Individuals who are visually, hearing or mobility impaired may require additional assistance during the evacuation process. Advance planning is necessary to provide alternative procedures for such individuals to ensure their safe evacuation.
In addition to the emergency response information website, a printed copy of notification and evacuation procedures is also located in each dorm room, apartment, campus house, office and classroom on campus.
FIRE SAFETY - Saint John's University
As it strives to continually build a rich learning environment, Saint John's University also strives to provide a safe environment for all students, staff and visitors. The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 requires any institution maintaining on-campus student housing to create an annual fire safety report. The report is to include statistics regarding the number and causes of fires, number of fire injuries and deaths and value of property damage. It must also include information on each on-campus student housing fire safety system, the number of regular mandatory fire drills, fire safety policies, education programs, and plans for any needed fire safety improvements.
The University developed this report to comply with this act and to better inform the Saint John's community - students, prospective students, parents, faculty, and staff - about fire safety at our institution. It includes all of the required information on fires, preventative actions, campus guidelines, and training that is conducted to reduce the likelihood and impact of campus fires.
Fire Protection
The Saint John's Fire Department was formally organized in 1939, staffed by members of the monastic community. Stationed on the Saint John's campus, it provides a trained, resident crew to protect against fire and to respond to any emergency request. It protects over 90 structures and 2800 staff, students and monks. It participates in the area's mutual aid fire group - the Central Minnesota Fire Aid Association. The Fire Department is presently staffed with volunteers from the monastery, lay workers, and students. All members train according to NFPA standards for interior/structural firefighting. The Department apparatus includes two pumper trucks, a 102-foot aerial truck, a grass fire rig, and a medical response unit.
The fire detection and protection systems are monitored twenty-four hours a day, all year long, by the Dispatcher at the University's Life Safety Services office. The Dispatcher can page the Department (or its officers) to respond to alarms at any time. The Life Safety Services office of the University and the Fire Department work very closely to provide fire and life safety protection to the campus. The Fire Department supports and responds with the University EMT Squad to provide basic life support for medical emergencies.
Each of the residence halls and apartments is equipped with emergency lighting powered by emergency batteries or backup generators. The Exit signs and fire detection equipment also contains backup batteries to keep the systems operating in the event of a power failure.
With the Fire Department stationed on the campus, even when there are power outages, firefighters and security personnel patrol the campus buildings to provide assistance, maintain safety, and monitor for fire safety until normal power and services are restored.
Fire - Any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning or in an uncontrolled manner.
Fire Drill - A supervised practice of a mandatory evacuation of a building for a fire.
Fire-related Injury - Any instance in which a person is injured as a result of a fire, including an injury sustained from a natural or accidental cause while involved in fire control, attempting rescue, or escaping from the dangers of the fire. The term person may include students, faculty, staff, visitors, firefighters, or any other individuals.
Fire-related Death - Any instance in which a person is killed as a result of a fire, including death resulting from a natural or accidental cause while involved in fire control, attempting rescue, or escaping from the dangers of a fire, or deaths that occur within one year of injuries sustained as a result of the fire.
Fire Safety System - Any mechanism or system related to the detection of a fire, the warning resulting from a fire, or the control of a fire including: Sprinkler or other fire extinguishing systems, fire detection devices, stand-alone smoke alarms, devices that alert one to the presence of a fire, such as horns, bells, or strobe lights, smoke-control and reduction mechanisms, and fire doors and walls that reduce the spread of a fire.
Value of Property Damage - The estimated value of the loss of the structure and contents, in terms of the cost of replacement in like kind and quantity, including contents damaged by fire, related damages cause by smoke, water, and overhaul; however, it does not include indirect loss, such as business interruption.
Fire Log - A log of fire related incidents is kept at the Life Safety Services Office and the information is available to the public.
The Life Safety Services Office of Saint John's University maintains a log that records any fire that occurred in an on-campus student housing facility and includes information such as the nature, date, time and general location of each fire. The log information is available to public up request.
In cooperation with the Residential Life office and the Residential staff, the FD conducts a fire drill in the residential buildings each semester. They monitor response times and advise staff and residents on ways to improve safety.
All planned drills are communicated in advance to the Director of Residential Life and Housing and Facility Residents. The campus community receives an email announcing scheduled drills approximately 1 week in advance. During any scheduled drill, if occupants do not evacuate a building in a reasonable amount of time, the drill is repeated until the officials conducting the drill are satisfied with the evacuation time. All repeat drills are unannounced.
Following each planned drill, the person in charge of administering the drill completes a fire drill report form and forwards it to Environmental Health and Safety office and brings it to Corporate Safety Committee for evaluation.
All other on campus facilities that have fire alarm systems have fire drills conducted a minimum of one drill per calendar year. This will preferably be conducted in early Fall.
The Fire Department promotes safety through presentations for dormitory staff members, fire extinguisher training, and drills. The FD conducts a fire safety training session with all the student Residential Assistants who live on each of the floors of the residence halls. This training information acquaints the staff with fire safety, common hazards in dormitories or apartments, evacuation skills, and accountability for residents.
The Saint John's Fire Department annually reviews the fire systems in campus residential facilities and works with the University to implement upgrades, repairs or revisions when problems are identified.
We advise the University on fire prevention, building design, and pre-planning for renovation of new construction projects. Through inspections, we regularly monitor the safety conditions in buildings. The Fire Department and Life Safety Services both oversee maintenance of campus fire systems (alarms, sprinklers, hydrants, extinguishers, etc).
Fire Alarm Testing. The Physical Plant office and the Fire Department arrange for certified contractors to check and test fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers and fire hoses. In accordance with Federal/State Law, fire alarms are tested once a year by a qualified contractor, to make sure they are working properly in case of a real fire. Evacuation of a building is not required during a fire alarm test.
During a fire alarm test, every detector is tested to verify that it operates correctly and sends a signal to the Dispatcher panel at the Life Safety Services office. All fire alarm horn and strobe fixtures are also sounded to make sure they are operating properly. If any part of the system fails the testing, it is immediately repaired or replaced.
Sprinkler Systems. Sprinklers are an important part of the fire protection system in many of the campus buildings. Like fire alarms, these systems are checked and tested on a regular basis. Their purpose is to suppress a fire and keep it from spreading. Water flowing in the system triggers the fire alarm and sends a signal to the Dispatcher panel at the Life Safety Services office. Similarly, all fire extinguishers on campus are tested and serviced annually by a certified technician to ensure reliable operating condition.
Additional. Further information about fire safety procedures and policies may be found at the University website:
Residential Fire Safety Systems
The campus buildings use a combination fire detection, alarm and suppression systems to provide protection to the residents. The following information lists the fire safety systems in each on-campus residence hall, apartment building, or house in which students reside at Saint John's University.
View the fire systems chart.
At the beginning of each academic year, the Fire Department and the Life Safety Services Office conduct a fire and safety inspection in each on-campus residence hall, apartment building, or house. Students receive written notices of safety problems. Follow up inspections are then performed to see that appropriate corrective actions have been completed.
This list identifies some common fire and safety problems, but the inspection teams will advise residents of other safety problems that exist and ways to correct them.
- Extension cords and multi-tap electric units without a breaker
- Items hanging on or blocking the operation of sprinkler system or detectors
- Indoor storage of flammable products such as charcoal, lighter fluid, gasoline, or propane cylinders.
- Blocking of egress (exit) pathways
- Use of candles, incense, or other burning or open flame items
- Use of portable heater
- Use of halogen lamp/lighting
- Use of lava lamps
- Unsafe lofting or raising of beds
The Order of Saint Benedict prohibits smoking and the use of tobacco products in all campus buildings. Smoking is prohibited in all residence areas. Smoking outside of campus buildings must take place at least 25 feet from an entrance and/or exit. Receptacles have been provided outside all residence areas. See also the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act "Freedom to Breath" which prohibits cigarette smoke in public places and takes effect October 1, 2007.

Someone's in the Kitchen with Sarah: Jeremy Gardner and friends
SALISBURY — Unlike most college students, Jeremy Gardner wasn't in line to buy a gigantic television or scoop up $3 movies on Black Friday.
Instead, the 21-year-old Catawba College senior battled crowds at Kohl's to become the owner of a shiny, new griddle.
With a coupon in hand, Gardner got the deal he was waiting for. The griddle has become the star of his kitchen.
"It's been the best thing," he said. "We've done burgers, steak, chicken, pancakes, eggs, sloppy joes and tacos on the griddle."
The "we" Gardner is referring to includes friends and classmates Matt Gallagher, Alex Hodges and Jason Manaras. The guys gather in one of their apartments in Alexander Place at least four times a week for dinner.
"When there are four of us who will cook, it's easier if one of us takes a night," Gardner said. "We swap it out so we're not doing the same thing.
"We don't get burnt out on cooking and we're having a good time."
Now, I have to admit that when Gardner invited me to his kitchen, I wasn't sure what I was going to get.
During college, I rarely cooked. Most of my meals were salads, sandwiches or takeout.
I was surprised to find a group of college men who said they cook regularly. Until I arrived at their apartment, I wasn't sure how they define "cooking."
Turns out, they keep it fresh and they keep it simple.
Manaras coated chicken breasts with olive oil before covering them with Lawry's Seasoned Salt.
Then he threw them on the griddle, of course.
While Manaras was doing that, Gardner and I worked on the asparagus and an interesting cheesy potato concoction.
For the asparagus, Gardner simply chopped off the ends and threw it in a baking dish. He doused it in olive oil before sprinkling Italian seasoning and garlic salt on top. He didn't measure, just poured it on.
We popped the asparagus in the oven on 350 degrees and set the timer for 20 minutes.
I helped dice up the potatoes for next dish.
It was pretty easy to make. All we did was dump a can of cream corn into a hot skillet before adding the potatoes. After the potatoes were soft, Gardner shaved off about a half block of Monterrey jack cheese. When the cheese was melted, it was done.
It took about 45 minutes to make the entire meal, which was really delicious. All of the flavors went together well and I didn't feel exhausted from trying to make something super complicated.
The guys have gotten cooking down to a science. They've figured how to make a variety of meals for about $20.
"It's good and it's real cheap," Gardner said.
Learning to cook
Gardner joked that he's cooked more meals in the past year than his mom did when he was growing up.
Apparently, his dad is the chef in the family.
"I started paying attention to what he was doing before I moved out on my own," he said.
Manaras said both of his parents cook and he simply "watched and learned."
"When I moved out they gave me tips on easy recipes and stuff that would be cheaper to make on a college budget," he said.
Gardner said the men are constantly trying new things.
"If we see something at the grocery store, an interesting sauce, an interesting spice, we'll pick it up," he said. "We also try each other's foods and see what we can do to make it different."
Gardner said they don't cook like "normal people."
"When I say 'normal people,' I mean we don't use recipes or anything," he said. "We just look at pictures or come up with random things and concoct a great dish, usually for an extremely low price too."
Manaras said their cooking has involved a lot of trial and error.
"Everything we make we usually eat anyway, so it's not really an error," he said. "It's just a question of if we like it or not."
Manaras said he enjoys having friends to collaborate with in the kitchen.
"It's nice to have people who want to cook with you," he said. "They'll help give you pointers on what you're doing well and what you need to change."
Creating a meal is part of the fun, Gardner said.
"I'm not going to a restaurant and ordering it," he said. "This is my own, it never takes very long and it always tastes very good."
Food brag
When the guys are done with their creations, they typically post a photo on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag Eating Like a King.
"That's what we always say because we're eating so well," Gardner said. "Home-cooked meals are something I know a lot of college students love and we get them almost every night."
Sometimes that bragging leads to extra mouths to feed.
"We have students begging to come eat with us because we post what we eat and it looks so good," Gardner said. "Friends come over all the time."
Gardner said people typically want to know their secret, but they don't have one.
"There's no special trick to making a quick meal," he said. "You've just got to cook it yourself."
Luckily, the guys agree on another thing.
"We all do the dishes," Gardner said.
Cooking with these guys was such a blast. They had me laughing the entire time and I was surprised that a little creativity is the key to a delightful meal.
