BRIDGETON — It's January and winter is starting to settle in. Cold days are becoming more frequent and area residents are getting used to waking up to the sight of their car windows being frosted over.
But as the weather gets colder, and it gets harder to leave the warmth of the house — especially before that first cup of coffee kicks in — Bridgeton Police Chief Mark W. Ott is warning residents not to forget the dangers of attempting to warm up their vehicles by leaving them running unattended.
"This is generally the time of year the police department sees an increase in vehicle thefts," He said. "Simply because the victims are unfortunately leaving one of their most valuable possessions entirely at the mercy of potential criminal passersby."
A resident of the first block of Sharp Avenue learned this lesson the hard way Tuesday.
They reported that their 2004 Ford Explorer was stolen as it sat idling in the driveway.
Ott said the owner left the SUV unattended, and when they returned, it was gone.
It was the second idling car to be stolen in the city in just under 36 hours.
A 2002 Dodge Neon was stolen from the 100 block of Walnut Street Sunday night, according to police. It too was left unattended.
Ott urged residents to sit in the car while it warms up, or at least stand outside with it, even if it does mean having to put on a few extra layers to brave the cold.
"This will drastically reduce the chance that your vehicle will be stolen," he said.
Anyone with information on the two stolen vehicles is urged to call Bridgeton Police at 856-451-0033.

As they walk around the vast gallery space up on the daylight-dappled third floor of Pioneer Place mall in downtown Portland, Chris Haberman and Jessica Martin have an "Odd Couple" sort of thing going.
Haberman, an artist and co-curator of the Peoples Art of Portland Gallery, is a burly fellow with a trimmed beard, pierced ears and forearms covered in multicolored tattoos. Martin, the executive producer of "Oregon Art Beat," has a big smile and the polished demeanor of someone who works in broadcasting.
Haberman and Martin may look like they would star in different "Portlandia" sketches (Haberman has worked as an art coordinator for the IFC show), but the two share the same excitement about "Oregon Art Beat Exhibition: Celebrating 15 Years of Creativity on OPB."
The exhibit brings together work by more than 300 artists and performers, who have been featured over the years on "Oregon Art Beat," the Thursday night show on Oregon Public Broadcasting that spotlights the state's creative talents.
"It's a crazy huge show," says Haberman, who came up with the idea of putting together an exhibition of work by artists featured on "Oregon Art Beat."
The exhibition fills not only the Peoples Art of Portland and the Mark Woolley Gallery spaces in the Pioneer Place atrium building, but also a space that was until late March the home of the Place gallery.
To hear Haberman and Martin tell it, the "Art Beat" exhibition aligned with both the Peoples Art of Portland and "Oregon Art Beat" philosophies.
"Oregon Art Beat" grew out of the experiences OPB staffers had working on "Oregon Field Guide," as Martin says. Traveling the state for "Field Guide" brought to light the wide range of creative work going on around Oregon, and so "Oregon Art Beat" was born.
The show is known for its unpretentious tone, and eclectic mix of creators and techniques. While some of Oregon's most respected fine artists have been featured on "Oregon Art Beat" –- including painter James Lavadour, who appeared in the first episode –- the show equally embraces folk artists, craft makers and non-visual artists, including writers, musicians and performers.
Similarly, Haberman says Peoples Art of Portland -- which he co-owns and co-curates with Jason Brown -- is, as its title suggests, a democratic space, accessible to mall shoppers and tourists as well as art-lovers.
For Haberman, memories of watching "Oregon Art Beat" with his mother, and being featured on the show years later, helped fuel his idea for an "Art Beat" exhibit.
"I grew up in Portland," Haberman says. "I've been watching 'Oregon Art Beat' forever." It was a thrill, he says, when the show aired a segment on him, in 2010.
"I'm a folk artist," says Haberman, whose paintings often feature bold, brightly colored, almost cartoonish depictions of people and places. Haberman works with recycled and found materials and objects, and his interest in writing, pop culture and media is also reflected in his images.
When Haberman raised the idea of the exhibition about a year-and-a-half-ago, Martin recalls, the two got together at a coffee shop and talked about it for a couple of hours.
And then came the daunting logistical task of tracking down artists.
"We made an effort to contact everyone," says Martin. "Many people had moved, or were deceased, or were doing something different," Martin says, but she found that the artists who were contacted were generally enthusiastic about the group exhibition.
Once artists said yes, then it became "a lot of herding cats," says Martin.
"There was a lot of getting people to think about what work they wanted to show. We're getting artists from every genre, from all across the state."
The exhibit includes paintings, sculpture, installations, pottery, woodwork, jewelry and more.
Among the artists represented in the exhibit are such varied creators as Lavadour, Lucinda Parker, Baba Wague Diakite, Christy Wyckoff, Gregory Grenon, Katherine Ace, Laura Ross-Paul, Lillian Pitt, Rick Bartow, Susan Seubert, Tom Cramer and Chel White.
For White, whose busy creative life includes doing commercial projects as founding partner and director at Portland's Bent Image Lab and making his own films, an "Oregon Art Beat" exhibition sounded like a "great idea," as he recalls.
White, who was featured in the second "Oregon Art Beat" season, thought about including an excerpt from one of his film or video projects. But he instead decided to create a new work for the exhibit, a mixed-media installation called "Creep," which incorporates digital video of bees, sound collage, wood, wire, rope, lichen, moss and stones.
The title, White says, "refers to how dreams and the subconscious have a tendency to creep into our daily lives whether we like it or not."
Making the new piece stirred White's creativity. "For a long time, I'd been looking for an excuse to do something more gallery-oriented," he says. "I've kind of got the bug now. I want to do more mixed-media work."
The "Oregon Art Beat" exhibit will also feature live performances, including music and readings, every Wednesday and Saturday nights.
Martin laughs as she recalls the early days of "Oregon Art Beat." Back then, she remembers thinking the show would cover all the artists there were in Oregon in just a few seasons, and that would be it.
"I've been so happy," Martin says, "to be proved wrong."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Here's a look at three major Parks Department projects for Staten Island's East Shore that signal a beachfront rebirth:
Pricetag: $70 million
Summary: The state-of-the-art facility will have a hydraulic system that will transform it into a banked track suitable for all levels of competition. The public facility includes cardio and weight rooms and other amenities. The largest project in Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 program, it's expected to be one of the top track facilities in the Northeast and could also be a borough tourism boost.
History: After being announced with much fanfare, the Advance reported that track construction was halted after it was discovered that concrete pilings weren't strong enough to support the building. Parks Department handed off building to the Department of Design and Construction, and corrections were made, putting the project back on track.
Completion: Open to the public by December 2013.
(Official naming pending)
Pricetag: $12 million
Summary: With money from Borough President James Molinaro's budget, the city is building a new home for the venerable Victory Diner and other amenities, including a waterfall fountain, a splash plaza for kids, a performance gazebo similar to Westerleigh Park and more parking. Electrical and other infrastructure will also be laid for a future kiddie amusement park.
History: A legacy project of Molinaro's, it continues the resurrection of the East Shore as the go-to place for sun, fun and dining, a cornerstone of effort Molinaro's time in public office.
Completion: Late 2013.
Pricetag: $1.4 million-plus
Summary: City is turning the formerly quasi-private beach enclave of Cedar Grove into a public beach with amenities. Some of the former cottages will be used for concessions, comfort stations, office space and storage.
History: The city has owned the property since 1958, and for more than 50 years, leased it to a few dozen part-time residents who kept cottages there and maintained the public beach. The city exercised its legal right to evict the renters, who left in September 2010, and Parks unveiled a long-term vision for a public beach.
Completion: The plan is to open the beach again this summer with a temporary restroom and lifeguard station. There's also a plan to bring a specialty food cart at the beach as well. No completion date was given by Parks for the entire site.

When Mrs. Flo Tonne died July 21, Procuk immediately dropped the flags at the community center and Village Hall to half-mast.
"If the president could (put the flag at half-mast) for Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I can do it for Flo," Procuk said.
"She said that we're going to be around for a long time yet," Procuk said.
Bob Tonne was mayor of Brooklyn Heights from 1985-2000, and before that was chief of police. Mrs. Tonne, an outgoing and gregarious type, was involved with community activities, as well as being an avid card player. She also was a big help to her husband when it came to politics and running the village.
Said Cuyahoga Heights Mayor Jack Bacci, "She should've been mayor."
Mrs. Tonne was very kind to me and always greeted me with a smile," said Councilwoman Jennifer Presot. "She was very excited for me when I was appointed to council to fill Ken Perry's seat. Her words of encouragement meant a lot to me. She will be greatly missed within our community."
Mrs. Tonne is survived by Bob, her husband of 61 years, and sons Charles, Robert, Tammy Csongedi and Sherry Carbeck. Another son, Daniel, died in 1957. She was buried Saturday at Brooklyn Heights Cemetery.
"She was a great lady," Procuk said.

I wonder how many SD STB's are still active on E*? Once they are all converted to an HD STB the duplicate SD channels can go away, freeing up bandwidth for more HD programming.
The reason I ask is there are several channels in SD only (besides the Disney Channels) that appear to be letter-boxed 16 x 9. If the last hold-outs were converted to HD there would be no reason not to carry every available channel in HD 24/7.
I've had an HD DVR since 2004 yet did not have an HDTV until last year, so it is possible to hook an HD STB to an SDTV.
Is there a deadline set for "SD sunset" on E*? If not thee should be!

BORGER - It wasn't flashy, but the Canyon Eagles staged a clinic on how to win an evenly-matched football game Friday night.
Tanner Gearn's 66-yard interception return on the game's final play provided the exclamation point as Canyon beat the Borger Bulldogs 20-10 to remain undefeated in District 1-3A.
"We worked on that play all week - the 10- to 15-yard out - but they hadn't run it to my side all night," Gearn said of his second interception of the game. "On that play (the interception) it was just too far to throw an out."
Canyon, which lost three of four non-district games, evened its overall record at 3-3 after beating Borger for the only fourth time in their last 10 meetings. The victory also was the just the fifth in the Eagles' last 19 games.
"I think we're showing that we're not as bad as we looked in the preseason," Gearn said. "We played some really difficult teams, but our coaches kept telling us that we'd be all right."
Blake Bryant, the Eagles' third-year head coach, couldn't enjoy his first victory against Borger until Gearn's interception return.
Canyon 20, Borger 10
Records: Canyon is 3-3 overall and 2-0 in District 1-3A. Borger is 2-5 overall and 1-1 in 1-3A.
Impact: Canyon remains undefeated in district after winning for just the fifth time in its last 19 games.
Key Stat: Canyon controlled the football for 69 offensive plays to only 39 for Borger.
"Any time you're able to beat a great program like Borger's, it's a nice victory," Bryant said. "But the big thing now is to do something with this win. That's how we're approaching it."
Now, about that clinic by the Eagles.
Canyon's offense controlled the football for 69 plays to only 39 for Borger. That included a stretch of the second quarter when the Eagles had the ball for 21 of 24 plays and took a 10-3 lead.
Fullback Robert Martin churned out 79 yards rushing between the tackles while tailback Candy Medellin added 51 yards. Quarterback Lance McClintock passed for 98 yards - 74 during the first half.
The Eagles' offense also committed no turnovers and was able to establish positive field position while operating into the southerly wind during the first quarter.
"Our opening drive (11 plays) created field position into the wind, and we thought that was big," Bryant said. "Then when we got the wind behind us in the second quarter, we were able to do some things with a shorter field."
Conversely, Borger had only three offensive possessions during the first half, and its average starting field position was its own 17-yard line.
Defensively, Canyon limited Borger to 158 total yards, including 69 yards rushing on 22 attempts. The Bulldogs lost starting quarterback Ryan Hall to a jaw injury late in the second quarter. Sophomore back Marcus Vidrine played the entire second half and guided the Bulldogs on their only touchdown drive as Wesley Jarrett's 2-yard run pulled Borger within 13-10 with 3:14 to play.
The Bulldogs defense then stopped Canyon, and Borger got the ball back with 18 seconds left. However, Gearn intercepted Vidrine on the following play to secure Canyon's victory.
"He (Vidrine) did a good job," said Borger coach Craig Shores, whose team was only 2-of-8 on third-down conversions. "We needed to make more first downs. We played on the long end of the field most of the night, and we didn't convert well enough on third down to win the ballgame."
Canyon also got eight points from its kicking game as Andrew Correa made field goals of 32 and 27 yards to go with two extra points.
And finally, the Eagles were penalized only three times during their workman-like victory.
Canyon's offense thoroughly dominated the first half, and the Eagles had a 10-3 lead to show for it after Correa's 32-yard field goal with five seconds left before halftime.
The Eagles ran 38 offensive plays to 18 for the Bulldogs, and Canyon put up 176 total yards in the first half to 82 for Borger.
The Bulldogs, however, scored first on Brandon Sisneros' 34-yard field goal with 8:42 left in the second quarter. Sisneros' kick finished a 13-play, 63-yard drive in which Hall was 4-of-5 passing for 47 yards.
But Canyon hogged the ball for 21 of the final 24 plays of the half and scored 10 straight points.
Immediately after Sisneros' field goal, the Eagles went 64 yards, taking a 7-3 lead on McClintock's 7-yard run with 3:10 left before halftime. Canyon kept the drive going by converting a fourth-and-2 from the Borger 13 with Martin's 5-yard run.
After holding the Bulldogs to a three-and-out series and using a timeout to force a Borger punt into the wind, the Eagles' hurry-up offense got off nine plays in 1:52 to set up Correa's field goal that made it 10-3. McClintock was 4-of-6 for 43 yards during the drive, including a 10-yard pass to Travis Franklin to convert a third-and-9 and get Correa within range.
Canyon extended its lead to 13-3 late in the third quarter after Gearn's first interception at the Bulldogs' 23. The Eagles made one first down on a McClintock-to-Daniel Ortiz pass before settling for Correa's 27-yard field goal with 3:27 left.

Temperatures Saturday afternoon reached into the lower 50s! We made it to 52 in Springfield to be exact. Not bad for the middle of March.
It seems as though we have settled into a quiet weather pattern, at least through the beginning of next week. Sunday will feature more sunshine through high clouds with temperatures by the afternoon making it into the mid to upper 50s. It will feel more like April. We'll cool off a little on Monday only to see the readings climb back into the 50s for Tuesday (St. Patrick's Day) and Wednesday!
The next change of rain will come in the form of a few showers along about Wednesday. Wednesday will actually end up being the warmest of the next several before we cool off for Thursday.
By the way, only five days until the first day of Spring! Friday the new season begins!

All too often, people looking for a home in Silver Lake get hung up on small issues and let a home they would love slip away to some other buyer. Sometimes it's lack of a fence for the dogs or a "foggy" window that makes a buyer reject an otherwise "perfect" house. These small issues are the things that can easily be changed – like carpet or paint colors, or even counter-tops or light fixtures. The market is tight right now and buyers are … [Read more...]

公案 or Koan (my Maas 24 open water rowing shell) and I finally got back together on the salt water today. Just a 4 mile round trip to Eastsound and back to our beach. It was a pleasant row, but more importantly Koan is now installed back by the water after sitting in my driveway for most of the winter since retrieving her from the OIR boathouse. So now we are ready for some longer open water rows.

Happy National Zoo Keepers Week! Meet Primate Keeper, Shelly Donohue
Co-writted by: Danielle Swopes, Susie Semler & Wendy Rice (All keepers at the Zoo)
Our fifth and final honoree for National Zoo Keeper Week is Shelly Donohue! Shelly recently moved from the Africa Interpretive Department to the Primate Department.
When you really look at the Zoo's core values (progressive thinking, accountability, pride, passion, positivity, etc.), meeting those standards consistently, day-in and day-out, seems like an overwhelming task for some of us. For others, like Shelly, it's just a walk in the park.
Anyone who knows Shelly personally has borne witness to her strong set of personal values. She treats everyone fairly and with kindness and she always chooses to do the right thing, even if it's not in her best interest. The moral fiber Shelly possesses is both admirable and inspiring, and she consistently represents herself and our institution in a shining light.
As if that weren't enough, Shelly has also found a unique balance of integrity and congeniality. Her cheery attitude and child-like humor brighten the work place, and spending time with her (even when completing undesirable tasks) is always enjoyable. She will spend hours (while cleaning of course) calling back and forth to "Harley", the blue and gold macaw, using high-pitched squeals, squawks, whistles, and words. Her connection with the natural world is clearly evident to anyone who has seen her interact with her critters.
Shelly is also very much a "doer". She volunteers to do the everyday tasks that most people avoid like cleaning gutters, weed-whacking, leaf-blowing, stripping and deep cleaning animal enclosures. She never shies away from a challenging or unpleasant task, and she consistently works hard to provide a better life for the animals in her care.
Always striving to achieve more, Shelly really puts all of herself into meeting her goals. From researching future education paths to talking to field researchers and scientists to participating in Miami University's graduate program, Shelly is always on a path of self-improvement and focused on becoming a better version of herself. With her hard-working and winning attitude, it seems the sky is the limit for this young keeper!
In a world where personal integrity seems to have a ripple effect on others, we are so proud to work alongside Shelly and call her "zoo keeper".

Walter the Warthog
Two weeks ago I traveled to Dallas, TX, to pick up the Zoo's newest addition to Africa! Walter is a spirited, 11-week-old warthog.
Walter is sweet and a little ornery… which is pretty adorable. He'll be in the Zoo's nursery for the next three weeks getting to know all of his keepers and handlers. Two to five people are scheduled to socialize, play with and even cuddle Walter every day. He loves to sleep in your lap, get belly rubs, and play ball.
Once Walter is out of the nursery he will be moved to the Africa interpretive animal area. There he will have a large stall, outdoor exercise yard and lots of daily interaction. Beyond that he will be walked throughout the zoo a minimum of three times a day, for a few different reasons. Primarily because it is imperative for swine species' to be exercised a ton!
In the wild most swine will travel more than five miles a day in search of food and/or water. Without appropriate exercise, these highly intelligent animals will become destructive and unhappy. Not only that, swine travel in family groups called "sounders." They are highly social. Because of this it is also imperative that Walter's emotional needs are met. He will want to be out in the Zoo meeting new "family members" every day.
When you come to the Cincinnati Zoo next month, you might get to meet one of our new favorite animals, Walter the warthog.

The Jets got to select 12 players in this year's draft because they had four compensatory picks, the maximum allowed by the NFL. They were awarded those picks because of qualifying free-agent losses from last year, a process you can read more about here and here.
But what about next year? Were the Jets' free-agent losses from this offseason enough to offset their gains, and would the difference be enough to allow them to qualify for compensatory picks in 2015?
In a word, nope.
A few day's before the draft, general manager John Idzik said compensatory picks were "a factor" in the team's evaluation of free agents. Compensatory picks certainly influenced Idzik's thinking last year, when the salary cap squeezed most of his options. But Idzik had bundles of salary-cap space to work with this year, and the priority was to use that money to acquire pieces, rather than to lose them. So that's what he did.
The Jets Blog has a pretty good rundown of it all here, but the gist of it is that the Jets' only potential qualifying losses this offseason were cornerback Isaiah Trufant (Browns) and offensive linemen Vlad Ducasse (Vikings) and Austin Howard (Raiders). Cornerback Aaron Berry could have been included, too, but because he signed his deal with the Browns on Monday—after June 1—Berry's not going to count.
Yes, Antonio Cromartie and Mark Sanchez signed with other teams, but they're not going to count because they had been cut by the Jets. Same goes for two of the Jets' additions, Dimitri Patterson and Chris Johnson, who had been released by the Dolphins and Titans, respectively.
The compensatory formula, which factors in salary, playing time, and postseason honors, is kept under lock and key by the NFL. But plenty of people (like the good people at The Jets Blog) have been able to gauge it based on teams' past behavior. It's believed Ducasse may not qualify because he signed a minimum salary benefit deal, and that the same would apply to wideout Jacoby Ford, one of the Jets' free-agent additions. And because Trufant is no certainty to make the Browns' roster, he (eventually) might not qualify, either.
Not that any of it matters, really. The Jets' obvious potential gains—quarterback Mike Vick, offensive tackle Breno Giacomini, wideout Eric Decker—seem almost certain to be enough to offset any potential losses anyway. Unless there's some sort of fine print everyone's overlooking because the NFL would rather keep the compensatory formula to itself.

STILLWATER, Okla. - With many of their offensive options taken away, Acie Law IV and Donald Sloan improvised to lead Texas A&M to victory.
Law scored 19 points and Sloan added a career-high 15 as the No. 8 Aggies handed Oklahoma State its most lopsided home defeat in nearly 30 years in a 66-46 blowout Wednesday night.
They totally took us out of everything we wanted to do offensively. We just kind of had to go a different direction, Aggies coach Billy Gillispie said. Were not usually that good off the dribble.
Law and Sloan got to the rim with ease, combining to hit 14-of-25 shots and score more than half of A&Ms points. The two combined to score 24 points in the paint, and A&M outscored Oklahoma State 42-16 inside.
Coach always tells me Im a driver, said Sloan, a freshman who got more playing time after starter Dominique Kirk went out with back spasms. So when a lane or an opportunity is there, why not?
The Aggies (23-4, 11-2 Big 12) made their first win in Gallagher-Iba Arena a memorable one. They had the largest margin of victory for a visitor since Texas won 108-87 in Stillwater on Dec. 12, 1977, embarrassing the Cowboys on a night when former head coach Eddie Sutton was honored at halftime.
The margin of victory means absolutely nothing. You either win or you lose, Gillispie said. To win means a lot because youre playing against a really good team, an NCAA tournament team.
The win meant more to Law, who missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer in a 79-77 loss last season in Stillwater - his third straight loss in the arena.
Weve been able to do a lot of things for the first time that this program hasnt been able to do, Law said. Its good to come here into an atmosphere like this, one of the best places to play in America, and get a victory.
Josh Carter added 10 points and Antanas Kavaliauskas had 13 rebounds for A&M, which cemented its best conference start since going 11-2 in the Southwest Conference to start the 1979-80 season.
Oklahoma States Mario Boggan and JamesOn Curry, who combined to average 38.7 points entering the game, each had season lows in scoring. Curry had eight points on 3-for-11 shooting, and Boggan went 3-for-13 to finish with seven points and 10 rebounds.
Kenny Cooper scored 10 to lead the Cowboys (19-8, 5-7), who shot 30 percent.
They just kept getting to the rim, Cowboys coach Sean Sutton said. Our perimeter defenders have got to do a better job of containing the ball.
The Aggies, whod been 0-11 at Gallagher-Iba, took control early and led by at least 12 throughout the second half.
Texas A&M opened a 42-24 lead on Joseph Jones layup under the basket early in the second half, but then went the next four minutes without a basket. Oklahoma State was only able to score five points in that span, and Currys 3-pointer cut the deficit to 42-29.
Law drove for a layup to end the drought, and he combined with Sloan to score 13 of A&Ms next 15 points as the Aggies began to pull away.
Law had a driving layup and a 3-pointer during a 10-0 run that Marlon Pompey topped off with a three-point play that put A&M up 60-37.
Oklahoma State won its previous six home games against top-10 opponents and badly needed a win after four losses in a five-game span dropped the Cowboys from the top 25 for the first time since November. Instead, they lost their second straight home game, following a 75-64 loss to Missouri on Saturday.

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State was pretty steamed -- or was it frosted? -- when kicker Brett Swenson wasn't a finalist for the 2008 Lou Groza Award.
The Spartans thought Swenson should have won the thing, and given the comparative numbers and the magnitude of some of his field goals, they had a point.
Well, at least Swenson is on the radar entering this season. The senior is one of 30 candidates named by the Palm Beach (Fla.) County Sports Commission. Nine semifinalists from last season, and 2007 winner Thomas Weber of Arizona State join Swenson on the list.
The is the bio that accompanies his nomination at http://lougrozaward.com:
Three-year letterman ranks among MSU's all-time leaders in field goals (tied for third with 52 made), points scored (fourth with 276) and extra points (fifth with 120 made). His 52 career field goals rank second among all-active NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision kickers heading into the 2009 season, has made 66 straight extra-point attempts.

Boys Golf: Canon-McMillan's Waller fires 34 against Peters
Canon-McMillan senior Lauren Waller shot a 2-under-par round of 34, but she and her Canon-McMillan High boys golf team saw their season record drop to 3-3 with a 188-203 loss to Peters Township in a match played this past Thursday at Lindenwood Golf Club.
The victory was the seventh in a row for the unbeaten Indians, and the win lifted their Section 7-AAA record to 2-0.
Junior Jake Sollon fired a 1-under-par round of 35 too lead the Indians. Senior Ben Morgret had an even-par round of 36. Juniors Alec Stopperich and Connor Schmidt shot 3-over-par rounds of 39 as did sophomore Tanner Johnson.
Regis Nairn shot a 41 for Canon-McMillan. The Big Macs other competitors were Waller's younger sister, Taylor Waller (42), Jack Clendaniel (43) and Vinny Lavorgna (43).

The monthly calendar in Covington might have said "City Council meeting,'' but the college football calendar said "Sugar Bowl, Arkansas vs. Ohio State.''
And many gathered at the council's meeting chambers Tuesday night were keenly aware of it.
Through the near two-hour meeting, folks in the audience and council members alike made passing reference to the 7:30 p.m. start time of the big game.
And shortly after the council approved an amended open-container ordinance that allows go-cups in the city's entertainment district -- the marquee event on the council's agenda -- the audience thinned noticeably.
As the council wrapped up its night, several members noted there was still time to get home before much of the game had been played.
But Covington resident Gay Barnes had other ideas.
With a big grin, she jokingly said she wished she could have come up with a filibuster to extend the meeting.
For those keeping score, the Buckeyes finally won a bowl game against an SEC opponent, barely holding on to beat the Razorbacks 31-26.

The paving project involves the new entrance from Chillicothe Road to the Town Hall complex and includes parking for the fire station and the new Heritage Park, parts of which had to be dug up to remove old underground fuel storage tanks and contaminated soil.
The special workshop meeting is intended to develop a plan for determining what buildings to keep on the Centerville Mills property and which should be demolished, according to Trustee Lorrie Sass Benza.
The criteria to be used will include the condition of the buildings from the former Boy Scout camp on the property and the potential cost to repair and maintain them along with uses for the buildings and redundancies with other properties.
The discussion started a week early at the Sept. 10 township meeting.
Trustee Chris Horn said he wants to look at figures on building usage, income from rentals and expenses.
"Do we need pavilions in all our parks?" Trustee Jeff Markley asked.
He said he could not look exclusively at Centerville Mills structures without considering similar ones on other township properties.
Resident Ted Seliga suggested the trustees further divide the figures on building usage and rentals by residents versus nonresidents.
He indicated residents could be paying to maintain structures that are used more by outside groups than themselves.
"We need to make an intelligent decision on the financial feasibility and long-term operational costs," he said.
Speaking as a Park Board member, Henri Preuss said his ad hoc group considers Centerville Mills to be a passive park.
Bainbridge Historical Society member Julia Newton cautioned the group.
"You should think about the community, and not just tear down structures as a quick and easy way out," she said.
Benza said she encounters people using the park in a passive way to walk dogs and walk the trails, while some groups such as Scouts like to use some of the buildings.
Some deteriorated structures, such as the former swimming pool and cabins, have already been removed.
Township parks manager Dave Mitchell said several groups have approached him about wanting to maintain certain buildings for their use.
In those cases Preuss advocated creating a written agreement that can be revoked, should the groups fail to maintain the structures.
"No offense, but scout masters come and go and so do trustees," he said.

US: Calavo books higher profits, "record" sales
US produce group Calavo Growers has booked an increase in annual earnings on the back of record sales.
Calavo posted a 1.7% rise in net income to US$17.3m for the year to the end of October. The result included costs linked to Calavo's distribution technology platform FreshRealm and the 2011 acquisition of Renaissance Food Group. It also benefited from a lower tax bill.
Operating income declined to $25.1m from a year-earlier total of $27.5m.
Full-year revenues climbed 25% to a record $691.5m. Sales from Calavo's core avocado business, as well as from its prepared foods divison and Renaissance Food Group, increased.
Nevertheless, chairman, president and CEO Lee Cole said the improved sales and net profit was "indicative of the enduring strength of the Calavo business model".
Cole added: "Calavo expects to further extend our sustained successes in fiscal 2014 and anticipates another highly successful year."
Calavo Growers, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

- Diluted EPS before FreshRealm Start-up Expenses and RFG Contingent Consideration Equals $0.42, Unchanged from Final Period of Fiscal 2012; Actual Diluted EPS Totals $0.40 Versus $0.42 Last Year
- Revenues Jump 35 Percent to $190.7 Million from $141.6 Million
- RFG Business Segment Posts 35 Percent Revenue Growth and 9.5 Percent Gross Margin Rate to Provide Strong Incremental Top- and Bottom-Line Contribution
Full-Year Highlights Include:
- Net Income before FreshRealm Start-up Expenses and RFG Contingent Consideration Totals $19.4 Million Versus $18.9 Million Last Year before Effect of Mexican Tax Charge; Actual Net Income Totals $17.3 Million Versus $17.1 Million Last Year
- Diluted EPS before FreshRealm Start-up Expenses and RFG Contingent Consideration Equals $1.31 Per Diluted Share Versus $1.27 in Fiscal 2012 before Mexican Tax Item; Actual Diluted EPS Totals $1.17 Versus $1.15 in Fiscal 2012
- Revenues Advance 25 Percent to Record $691.5 Million from $551.1 Million
- 19 Percent Avocado Volume Growth, RFG Sales Expansion of 24 Percent Reaffirm Calavo Position as a Leading Food Sector Growth Company
SANTA PAULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Calavo Growers, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: CVGW), a global avocado-industry leader and producer of value-added fresh foods, today reported strong fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and full-year net income on revenues that climbed to new record highs for both periods.
"We completed another successful year punctuated by a final quarter during which each of Calavo's three business segments continued to register outstanding revenue growth and strong profitability—matching the fourth quarter record for net income before giving effect to the FreshRealm investment."
For the three months ended Oct. 31, 2013, net income before adjustments net of tax associated with the company's investment in FreshRealm, LLC, which is discussed in further detail below, totaled $6.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Including the after-tax impact of the charge—which approximated $290,000 or $0.02 per diluted share—net income totaled $6.0 million, equal to $0.40 per diluted share, in the most recent quarter. This compares with net income in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter of $6.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Fourth-quarter revenues climbed 35 percent to reach $190.7 million from $141.6 million in final period last year.
Gross margin equaled $17.4 million in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter, which compares with $17.9 million in the year-earlier like period. Operating income edged higher to $8.1 million in the most recent quarter from $7.6 million in the like period one year ago.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Lee E. Cole: "We completed another successful year punctuated by a final quarter during which each of Calavo's three business segments continued to register outstanding revenue growth and strong profitability—matching the fourth quarter record for net income before giving effect to the FreshRealm investment."
Cole continued: "Our top-line growth was paced by an ever-quickening expansion of the avocado industry, which we continue to lead and innovate. We packed 2.3 million more fresh avocado cartons last year over fiscal 2012, almost 14.4 million units in total, indicative of overall industry growth which reached nearly 1.7 billion pounds in 2013 as we had predicted. Demand continues to grow stronger each year as avocados more and more become a staple in American diets. As the company's revenue acceleration indicates, Calavo is ideally situated to benefit from the strong avocado trend. Beyond fresh avocados, we enjoyed double-digit revenue growth for the quarter and the year in our other two business segments—Calavo Foods and Renaissance Food Group, LLC (RFG)— further moving the sales needle upward.
"And, while growing revenues and profit year over year—indicative of the enduring strength of the Calavo business model—we remained committed to delivering return to our shareholders. The company's substantial profitability enabled us to return more than $11.0 million to shareholders through Calavo's annual common stock cash dividend. Enviably, the 70 cent per share payout was a 7.7 percent increase from the prior year and a 250 percent rise since the company became publicly traded in 2002," Cole stated.
Net income for the fiscal-year-ended Oct. 31, 2013 totaled $17.3 million, equal to $1.17 per diluted share, which compares with $17.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, one year earlier. Results for the most recent year reflect an after-tax impact approximating $2.1 million, equal to $0.14 per diluted share, associated with FreshRealm-related investment ($0.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share) and contingent consideration for the company's earlier purchase of RFG ($1.2 million or $0.08 per diluted share). The after-tax impact of these charges had the effect of reducing fiscal 2013 net income from about $19.4 million or $1.31 per diluted share. This compares with full-year net income in fiscal 2012 of $18.9 million, equal to $1.27 per diluted share, before giving effect to a $1.8 million income tax expense related to an unfavorable ruling with Mexico's tax authority's examination of the 2004 tax year.
Full-year revenues climbed 25 percent to a record $691.5 million from $551.1 million in fiscal 2012. Gross margin was substantially unchanged, standing at $60.1 million in the most-recent year versus $60.7 million in fiscal 2012. Operating income declined to $25.1 million in fiscal 2013 from a year-earlier total of $27.5 million.
Revenues in Calavo's Fresh business segment surged 38 percent in the fourth quarter to $125.2 million from $91.0 million in the corresponding period last year driven by volume growth and sharply higher prices in the avocado category. Total Fresh segment volume approximated 3.8 million units in the final period, unchanged from the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. Fresh segment gross margin registered $11.1 million, equal to 8.7 percent of segment sales. This compares with segment gross margin of $11.4 million, or 12.5 percent of segment sales, in last year's fourth quarter.
Calavo Foods business segment revenues rose to $12.9 million, up 12 percent from $11.6 million in the final quarter of fiscal 2012. Sharply higher fruit costs for prepared avocado products during the majority of the fourth quarter adversely impacted segment gross margin for the period. Gross margin declined to $1.3 million, or 10.2 percent of segment sales, from $3.2 million or 27.5 percent of segment sales, in the final quarter last year.
RFG business segment revenues advanced 35 percent to $52.6 million from $39.0 million in the fiscal 2012 final quarter. Top-line growth in the RFG segment continued to be propelled by a combination of factors including additional retail penetration to more sales points and an expanding product lineup, the company reported. RFG gross margin equaled $5.0 million, or 9.5 percent of segment sales, a 110 basis point improvement from $3.3 million, or 8.4 percent of segment sales, in the fourth period last year. RFG segment gross margin growth is attributable to the continued leveraging of the business unit's plants and platform, which also provided incremental contribution to Calavo's improved overall selling, general and administrative (SG&A) metrics.
Fourth-quarter SG&A expense totaled $9.3 million, equal to 4.9 percent of revenues, improving about 230 basis points from $10.3 million, or 7.2 percent of revenues, in the final period last year. In the most recent period, SG&A dropped significantly even after $597,000 in pre-tax expenses related to its FreshRealm investment and while supporting nearly $50 million in additional company sales, indicative of substantial leveraging of Calavo platforms. As a percentage of gross margin, SG&A decreased 390 basis points to 53.5 percent from 57.4 percent in the fourth quarter last year.
Looking to fiscal 2014, CEO Cole stated: "Calavo's operating trajectory remains squarely on target" and that he maintains "continued confidence and optimism" regarding the company's prospects in the year ahead.
Cole added: "The fresh avocado forecast points to another strong year for the all-source supply. We will again see robust supplies and all early indicators are tracking favorably for sustained, vigorous growth in U.S. avocado consumption in 2014. As significantly, avocado demand is expected to continue growing for many years to come. Our scale-driven packing operations leave us well positioned to leverage these higher volumes to the company's advantage."
Turning to RFG, Cole noted that, in the two and half years since being acquired by Calavo, the business unit's revenues have nearly doubled. He continued: "We are enormously proud of RFG's operating performance. The business unit's contribution extends far beyond financial results. Its rate and breadth of product innovation, speed in distribution, and continued market penetration are felt throughout the company. Through RFG, Calavo is strongly positioned as a leader in the fresh-food consumption trend. Not to mention, RFG's complementary fit with our Fresh and Calavo Foods business segments validates the insight behind this transaction. All expectations are that RFG will continue to deliver strong, double-digit incremental top- and bottom-line results to Calavo."
In the Calavo Foods segment, Cole anticipates the double-digit upward sales trend line of the past year to continue, along with a return to historic segment gross margins. He said: "We have expanded substantially our retail grocery and institutional foodservice customer bases and, along with that, seen a corresponding climb in demand for our prepared avocado products. Our strengths in sourcing, production management and marketing are serving us well and, despite the final quarter dip in gross margin owing to high fruit costs, the Calavo Foods business segment has an enviable track record of profitability which continues to hold excellent growth prospects."
On the subject of FreshRealm, Cole called it an "area of considerable promise" and that he is "eagerly awaiting the commercial launch of the new platform in the first half of 2014. First and foremost, this technology holds the promise and potential to add an entirely new direction and distribution methods for fresh food to reach consumers. Moreover, it is indicative of our 90-year-old company's ability to continuously innovate, moving in new directions and building upon our strong heritage and vast resources. We look forward to FreshRealm's introduction and will undoubtedly be discussing it more as the year progresses."
Cole concluded: "In sum, Calavo expects to further extend our sustained successes in fiscal 2014 and anticipates another highly successful year. With so much to build upon, along with the operating and financial strength the company brings to bear, the outlook ahead is highly encouraging."

NORTHAMPTON – Hard evidence like fingerprints or meaningful DNA might have helped sway the jurors who leaned towards innocence in the Cara Rintala murder trial, one of them said Tuesday. It might have helped as well if police followed all their leads.
"I don't feel she was guilty," said Irene M. Greenia, who was one of the four who held the line for Rintala's innocence. "There was not enough evidence."
Greenia said she was the juror seen crying as the panel left the courtroom Monday after listening to Judge Mary-Lou Rup instruct them on the concept of "reasonable doubt." She said the judge's explanation helped fortify her resolve that the commonwealth had not proved its case against Rintala. Two of the three alternates were also crying as they left the courtroom that afternoon. Greenia she spoke to them after the jury was released and said all three thought Rintala was innocent.
The trial was the second for Rintala, who is accused of strangling her wife, Annamarie Cochrane Rintala, in their Granby home in March 2010. The prosecution's case was built largely on circumstantial evidence, notably the defendant's whereabouts that day. Dr. Joan Richmond of the Massachusetts Medical Examiner's Office testified that Cochrane Rintala had been dead for six to eight hours when police arrived at 7:15 p.m. to find the defendant cradling her rigid body in her lap. Rintala told police her wife was alive when she went out on errands at 3 p.m.
Greenia said the lack of forensic evidence left a big hole in the prosecution's case.
"There was no smoking gun," she said.
Rintala's original trial in March also ended in a mistrial when the jury was unable to agree on a verdict. That jury was also split 8-4, with eight for conviction. According to a juror on that panel, all 12 believed Rintala strangled her wife, but the four hold-outs did not think there was enough evidence to prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
This time, only one of the four in the minority believed Rintala guilty, Greenia said. She described her jury experience as an "awful" ordeal that left her drained. During one of the deliberation sessions, several jurors were crying from the stress, she said.
Greenia said investigators failed to follow several leads in the case and let too much time pass before checking the alibis of other suspects. When it came time for jurors to connect the dots, there weren't enough of them pointing to Rintala for Greenia.
"In my heart, I don't think they proved she did it," she said.

HOLYOKE – An image of Jesus, in a posture of blessing, looks from the sanctuary out over the congregation at Immaculate Conception Church in Holyoke. It's the central panel of a huge stained glass window that once let light shine from above the south entrance into the parish's former church; the three panels on each side depict Holyoke's industrial heritage.
While church stained glass windows usually depict saints or biblical scenes or have religious symbols like a fleur-de-lis, lamb or pelican self wounding, the 21-foot-high, 14-foot-wide Holyoke window has silk machines to remember the once-vibrant silk industry in this old industrial city and two aluminum cylinders like ones first used in Holyoke to put a shine on paper.
There's an electric paper machine, complete with switch, to commemorate the city that was one of the first to electrify industrial machines.
The nearby Holyoke Dam and the bridge to South Hadley are depicted in the window, and along the bottom is the skyline of Holyoke — with three of the numerous Catholic churches shown — as it was in the early 1950s.
The left side of the window bears the coat of arms of Pope Pius XII and the right the coat of arms of the late Most Rev. Bishop Christopher J. Weldon of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield, both of whom were in office when the window was commissioned in 1955 for the parish's 50th anniversary.
It was installed in early 1956, according to parishioner Douglas J. Lambert who has done research on the window that is a unique mix of history and religion.
But Jesus is in the most prominent position.
"Jesus is the center of our whole life, even our work life," commented the Rev. James J. Aherne, a LaSalette priest who serves as pastor of Immaculate Conception Church, the third French church in the city, located at 54 North Summer St. Among other images contained in the window is one of a micrometer perfected in Holyoke and a symbol taken from the first union house in Holyoke, Lambert pointed out.
The window had been installed in the second parish church, a stone Gothic structure that was built in 1927 and razed in 2006 after the stone work deteriorated and it became unsafe. The current modest wooden church was built and dedicated in 2008.
Parishioners agreed the "Holyoke window" must be saved and placed in a prominent place in the new church. It is now the focal point behind the altar, lit from the top and bottom with fluorescent bulbs.
An inscription in the bottom right corner, "Rev. AAB 1955" is barely noticeable. Aherne said it refers to the Rev. Arthur A. Brodeur, a LaSalette priest who was pastor when the window was commissioned.
Another stained glass window from the second church's choir loft is located at the front entrance of the new church; others are in storage.
Also in use from the old church are an angel holy water font, the baptismal font, pews and a large crucifix.
"Everybody wanted to save the old church, but there wasn't the money to do it," Aherne said. "So the things we could save from the old church we saved so we'd have that continuation."
Connectedness to the past "gives a sense of security," he said. Even though the parish community is changing — from a mostly French parish to an English speaking one to one that is now half Spanish speaking — "it's still the same basic parish," the pastor said, noting there are still many members who are descendants of Holyoke mill workers.
"And the history of this parish just goes on" with a stained glass image of Jesus in the central part of its worship space. "That window is important because of its connection to Holyoke history," Aherne said.
Olivia L. Mausel, chair of the Holyoke Historical Commission, noted that the window reflects the people who lived in the parish in "The Flats" section of Holyoke at the time it was installed. Many worked in the mills, and the French-Canadian Catholics were very loyal to the church.
"It speaks to a time when Holyoke was a huge industrial power and the factories were humming," she said. "People wanted to have something that reflected the good ol' American life that helped them get a nice paycheck and raise their families."
"The window is part of our history and helps draw us back to the point when the window was made and represents the hardworking people" who once lived, worked and worshipped in The Flats, Lambert said.
He is still researching the window to find out where it was made, how much it cost and who paid for it.
Holyoke congregation saves stained glass windows from Immaculate Conception Church

HOLYOKE – An image of Jesus, in a posture of blessing, looks from the sanctuary out over the congregation at Immaculate Conception Church in Holyoke. It's the central panel of a huge stained glass window that once let light shine from above the south entrance into the parish's former church; the three panels on each side depict Holyoke's industrial heritage.

No, no, no, it's not "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," what a ridiculous notion, it's Dr. Cole and Mr. Price. Listen, just because the idea is not necessarily new doesn't mean that NBC can't have ordered an exceptional update to it. Plus, the description talks about 'near-naked women' and Ian as being 'seductive, devious, borderline sociopathic.' We imagine that those quotes appeal to several groups of people, perhaps you. Perhaps you've been seduced by the notion of the story or perhaps Steven Pasquale is your cup of tea. Perhaps you should tune in and see the premiere.

Order our award-winning materials
Asthma UK produces award-winning materials to help people with asthma understand and manage their condition more effectively. Our resources have been co-created with people with asthma, developed using the most trusted evidence, and evaluated by healthcare professionals.
Our resources are certified by The Information Standard to check that they're clear, accurate, balanced, evidence-based and up-to-date.
You can download most of our resources for free, but you are welcome to order print copies too for which there is a charge for healthcare professionals.
Four ways to order
(1) Download free direct from this page.
(2) Print it yourself: Order print-ready files of the new versions of all resources so you can print copies with your own preferred supplier. We charge a small fee for these files, and will draw up a contract to ensure files are kept confidential and printed copies are used within two years. To find out more, please email your requirements to firstname.lastname@example.com.
(3) Buy in bulk: Get a bespoke quote for orders of 1000 or more of the same new item - the larger the order, the lower the cost per unit. To get a quote, email email@example.com.

Download asthma action plans for free
Evidence shows people with an asthma action plan are four times less likely to be admitted to hospital because of their asthma.
Action plans remind people how to recognise their asthma is getting worse and what they need to do.
All children can benefit from a written asthma action plan. For children under 12, try Asthma UK's award-winning My Asthma plan. Older children (over 12) might prefer to use our asthma action plan for adults.
