|[TowerTalk] Re: Tuning coax stubs w/ shack test equipment

A recent exercise in cutting (153 deg) stubs for 80M I discovered that I got better results, a better indication of resonance, using a noise bridge & receiver. An Autek RF-1 using the preferred method of tuning for minimum Z, just couldn't give me the resolution that tuning through a sharp dip on the rx could. The resonance point of the stub was about 4.350 MHz and the coax used was RG-8X. However, using the RF-1 to cut over 300' of 3/4" CATV hard-line to resonance at 3.795 MHz, the instrument was easy to to tune to min. Z. Evidently, the much higher Q of the hardline makes it easier to cut to resonance than lossier, flexible coax. In this shack there are never enough test instruments, gizmos, what have you, to aid me in building a better station. 73 de Walt Kornienko - K2WK - firstname.lastname@example.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm

Horrifying confrontations with Federal Way pets? | Letters
I agree with the position of off-leash pets ("Off-leash pets: Please be proactive," letters, May 4). However, regardless of on-leash or off-leash, the human part of the team must be able to control the strength of their pet or pets.
When pets jerk the restraint from the control of the human partner, great physical and emotional pain can be the result. Horrifying confrontations can be the result of trying to separate a savage attack from either the attacking or the pet being attacked. The fight-or-flight instinct can cause madness. I know this to be true.
We all need to be more vigilant and be able to control our pets or perhaps don't expose them to the possibility of confrontation. Federal Way has a "park for dogs."

Sprint Stores Begin Receiving Galaxy Nexus LTE Signage Ahead Of Launch
When carrier owned retail stores begin receiving collateral signage with a street date listed, you know things are about to get all kinds of official. A Sprint owned retail location sent the boys from Phandroid a pic of a poster which will be displayed in store windows beginning this Sunday, April 15th. Rumors now have the Sprint variant of the Galaxy Nexus launching on April 22nd and now with posters going up one week ahead of that date, it's beginning to look more and more concrete.
Interesting note, the poster makes no mention of the device being LTE capable, hinting that Sprint wants to keep their LTE network "on the down-low" until it's actually rolled out. Any Sprint customers eager to grab the Galaxy Nexus now? Is the HTC EVO 4G LTE more your style?

Mrs. Brown, the County will never have enough money if the Commissioners keep making stupid decisions like closing Copper Green Hospital.
I don't see how they came up with a budget, because they don't know how much it's going to cost them to take care of the poor at the other hospital.
If they don't have a long term contact with them, they will be going up on the amount every year as they see fit.

Closed to anglers for rest of the season
Conne River will not re-open to angling for the rest of the 2014 season, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) announced this week.
According to DFO Resource Manager Jason Simms, Conne River, which opens on June 21, is closed each year from July 5 to 8 to examine salmon counts and decide whether or not they will be able to open the river for the rest of the season.
Simms said this watershed management plan, which is part of a conservation strategy with the Miawpukek First Nation, has been in place for several years, and is unique to the Conne River.
"The conservation target is a count of 2,475 small salmon to go through the counting fence in order for the river to reopen," he said. "The salmon count for around July 7 of this year was about 1,063 so we weren't anywhere in range to meet that target. Based on that and in discussion with Miawpukek First Nation it was decided in order to follow our strategy we would not reopen the river."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Lawyers urged a judge Wednesday to quickly approve a settlement plan to refund part of 2009 Jefferson County occupational tax collections, so the taxes now held in escrow will not be frozen if the county declares bankruptcy.
"The county is in a precarious financial situation," Jim Pratt, the lawyer who mediated the settlement proposal, told Circuit Judge David Rains. "This money is at some risk if the county goes into bankruptcy."
Rains did not rule on the settlement proposal at the hearing. He said he wanted to consider several factors, including when to approve fees for the lawyers whose 2007 suit led Rains to strike down the wage tax and a county business license fee in 2009.
Rains said he also would consider a request to intervene in the case filed by lawyers representing two taxpayers. Before he would grant the request, Rains said, those lawyers must convince him that the proposed settlement is unfair.
The settlement plan affects only a portion of the $51.4 million now held in escrow, which includes $1.1 million the county paid to cover refund costs.
Also in escrow is the $37.8 million the county collected while appealing Rains' order striking down the levies.
The lawyers who filed the suit and county lawyers asked Rains on Wednesday to order immediate refunds of $31.3 million, 83 percent of the tax collections, based on a May 2010 Alabama Supreme Court ruling.
Lawyer fees of up to $11 million, which Rains must approve, would be deducted before that money is distributed to affected workers.
The county also would get $12.5 million that Rains ordered it to pay, which the Alabama Supreme Court overturned last year.
The remaining $6.5 million in escrow, about 17 percent of the tax collections during the refund period, would be the subject of the settlement proposal.
Affected taxpayers would have two options under the settlement proposal:
Take their share of the $6.5 million and face the risk of the county imposing a retroactive tax to recoup all taxes withheld during the seven-month refund period.
Give the county their share of the $6.5 million in exchange for a pledge of no retroactive tax.
Rains said he was troubled by some wording in settlement notices for affected taxpayers, saying he wanted the information presented clearly so workers can understand it.
But the judge also must decide when he will approve lawyer fees before he rules on initially approving the settlement proposal.
The fee, which will be deducted from the escrowed tax collections, must be set before any money can be refunded, said Ed Gentle, the court-appointed special master in the case.
If Rains agrees to deduct the lawyers' fee from the initial pool of tax refunds, affected taxpayers will not have the chance to protest, said the lawyers seeking to intervene in the case.
A prior settlement proposal in the case called for Rains to consider objections to both the settlement plan and lawyers' fee request at a fairness hearing.
Rains said Wednesday he would set a fairness hearing for 70 days after preliminary settlement approval -- late July at the earliest.
But a delay until July on distributing any of the money increases the risk that taxpayers would get no refund if the county files for bankruptcy protection, said Allen Dodd, one of the plaintiff lawyers.
"I consider that a real threat," he said.

Donald M. Payne, who was elected New Jersey's first African-American congressman in 1988, easily beat his first GOP challenger in eight years, defeating 28-year-old neophyte Michael J. Alonso in a race that also included two independents.
During his campaign, Payne stressed the need to protect Social Security and Medicare, cut taxes for the middle class and renew the nation's manufacturing base to create good-paying jobs at home.
His opponent, who lives in Bayonne, stressed "smaller government" and deemed Medicare and welfare "ineffective."
Payne was one of 10 incumbents in New Jersey who handily held on to their seats in the House, as expected.

Johannes Nielsen, 74, of West Amwell Township, died on Friday, July 18, 2014, at his home.
Known to all as "Joe," he was born in Nyborg, Denmark and served with the Danish Army before coming to the United States in 1962. Joe first lived in Titusville where he met his future bride, Theresa Etling. After their marriage, Terry and Joe made their home in West Amwell.
A licensed electrician, Joe worked for the IBEW local 269 in Trenton for 35 years, before retiring 15 years ago. In the past, he was active on the building and grounds committee of the Mt. Airy Presbyterian Church. Joe was a generous and kind friend and neighbor, who readily stepped forward to assist anyone in need. He loved helping others, whatever the project, and was known as the "generator man" for his expert guidance and assistance in selecting, installing and maintaining his neighbors units. Joe most recently took part in regular breakfast get togethers with his dearest friends. A proud Dane, Joe loved the United States.
Most of all Joe treasured his time with his family. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved camping with a group of several families and dubbed them the "Webfeet Campers." He enjoyed traveling with Terry, his wife of 50 years. Together they cared for their family, tended their garden, and opened their home to relatives and friends. Joe especially doted on his three grandchildren.
Joe is survived by his wife, Theresa Etling Nielsen; his son, Erik Johannes Nielsen and his girlfriend Cheryl Bitner of Long Valley; and his daughter and son-in-law, Tracey and Jack Hvizdos of Titusville. He was the proud grandfather of triplets, Trevor, Gretchen and Molly Hvizdos; and the late Jacob Dane Hvizdos. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Frederick and Maiken Nielsen of Newtown, Pa.; his sister-in-law, Mary Lou Reside of Levittown, Pa.; his nephew and several nieces.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) – City Council approved a tax abatement for a dentist office although despite claims to restrict current policies.
Should professional services, like medical offices, be given a tax break? Some Fort Wayne City Council members say, "no," but that didn't stop them from approving a tax abatement for a dentist office Tuesday night in a 5:2 vote, with two abstaining.
Sedation Dentistry wants to build a 10,000 sq. ft. medical office at 12714 Coldwater Rd. The dentist office will create four full-time jobs and cost $1.7M.
A tax abatement is a break given to developing businesses on their property tax rates. Some council members, like Tom Smith (R—1st Dist.), and Russ Jehl (R—2nd Dist.), had problems approving the abatement for a dentist office. The council has granted abatements to professional services before, but Smith says council shouldn't grant abatements to all professional services, just like they don't grant them to retailers. Smith says abatements should be reserved for manufacturing other types of businesses.
"We have to look at our city policies and refine that a bit, but I don't want to be giving tax abatements to lawyers and accountants and all sorts of things. I just think that takes that too far and I'm sort of drawing the line right now," said Smith.
Jehl says his main issue is the fact that land needed to be annexed in order to build the dentist office—land that is just outside of Fort Wayne city limits. Jehl fears that City Council approving the project will infringe on what should've been County Council's territory.
"I wasn't comfortable because it put us directly in opposition to the County's interest. We essentially cannibalized the County through this and I just wasn't comfortable with the annexation being tied to tax abatements," said Jehl.
Despite the outcome at Tuesday night's meeting, City council members say they need to have stricter qualifications on what businesses will qualify. In late May, City and County councils announced they're forming a sub-committee to revise and compare tax abatement policies in order to work better together.
Professional services interested in developing in Fort Wayne and Allen County can still qualify for abatements. But once policies are revised, it could be more challenging. Jehl says he hopes to amend the current policies by the end of this year.

Preposterous is Oscar's puppy who appeared on Sesame Street in the late 80s through the early 90s. He is a groucher spaniel -- a Grouch dog breed.
Preposterous just lies around and doesn't do anything; he doesn't like to bark or play. Sometimes he would even attack Oscar.
The dog also appeared in various scenes in Follow That Bird and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. The puppet was later modified into Oscar's pet cat, Fido, in "Elmo's World: Cats."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- He shamrocked the boat, so a Staten Island Ferry mate is serving a 16-day suspension without pay.
Jared Largo, 32, of Brooklyn, sought to spread Irish cheer by using a rubber stamp to ink several of the iconic symbols of Irishness in a ferry pilot house and by a time clock. But an onboard video surveillance camera recorded the shenanigans.
The city Department of Transportation chose to look at the proliferation of clovers as vandalism of city property, and Largo has been out of work since last month.
Largo, who has worked at the ferry for 10 years, said he apologized to his supervisor after getting busted.
"It was a stupid, immature thing to do," he conceded. "I offered to clean it up."
When reached by phone yesterday, he was reluctant to talk about the incident, saying, "I don't want to get in any more trouble at work."
DOT spokesman Seth Solomonow declined to comment on the incident, citing the department's policy of not discussing personnel matters.
Advance records show Largo was suspended without pay for four days in 2004 for "conduct unbecoming of a DOT employee," following a dispute with a college student working as part of a team surveying ferry procedures. The argument allegedly began when he asked the woman if she wanted to order takeout food -- it's unclear why she took offense.
A union official said at the time he believed the punishment was too harsh, calling Largo "a clean-cut individual" and "nothing but respectful."
Largo declined to comment on the earlier suspension.
He's expected back at work on Monday.

BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. -- Steve Spurrier has another regret over his Southeastern Conference preseason ballot -- that he took his omission of Florida's Tim Tebow from the first team so seriously.
The South Carolina coach said Thursday that he made way too big a deal of not voting for the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback at the Southeastern Conference's annual media gathering. There, Spurrier went into detail about how he let director of football operations Jamie Speronis fill it out, then only give it a quick glance before signing off.
Spurrier says Speronis had Mississippi quarterback Jevan Snead as South Carolina's first-team pick.
Spurrier called Tebow to apologize and got the SEC to change his selection, making the Gator senior a unanimous choice among the league's coaches.

It was a nice fall day for a walk in the woods. Mike Bronner was scouting for a good place to hunt deer.
He made an interesting discovery instead. This was October 1963, more than 47 years ago.
Mike was just out of the Navy. His prowl was in a woody area near Mallory, in the eastern reaches of the town of Hastings, in Oswego County, close to the town of West Monroe.
"I came across the remains of an old house foundation," Mike explains. We talked at his home near Baldwinsville. "I think it had been a little house in the woods. Up in the foundation were some old rags. I noticed something brown in the rags. I took it out and put it in my pocket."
That "something brown" object was an old straight razor.
Several weeks later, Mike says he took the razor out and cleaned the mud off. It was then he discovered there was writing on both sides of the bone handle. It appears to have been cut into the bone by hand. This is what it said:
"Mobile City, Ala. The Yanks have come and They are Bound To Be Victorious in Battle and Set us all free. Slave."
And on the other side: "John M. Carver. Enlisted Sept.5,1862 in 21, N.Y. Battery. Capt. James Barnes Com. State Vol. Union for Ever."
Mike believes the foundation was of the home where John Carver lived. Or one of his 14 children. He went back to the area years later but couldn't find the foundation. Mike and his wife, Mary, couldn't find John Carver's burial place, either. Records show it to have been in Mallory. He died in 1894 at the age of 75.
Mike knows some of these things because of the extensive research he'd done in the years since 1963. His is an unsolved mystery that's yet to be solved.
Does he have John Carver's only straight razor, which was made by an English cutlery (Wostenholm & Sons) and registered as a trademark in 1850? Or were there more than one? Did he mean to give it to his captain, James Barnes, or did he keep it himself?
Mike wrote to the New-York Historical Society in Manhattan and got some information. Likewise the National Archives, which provided copies of John Carver's service record and his widow's application for a pension.
These were some of his discoveries: John Marcus Carver (aka J. M. Caron) was born in 1818 in the town of Minden in Montgomery County (northeast of Canajoharie). His parents were Marcus and Elizabeth. He enlisted in an Oswego County outfit, the 21st Battery of Light Artillery, Sept. 5, 1862 and mustered out Sept.8,1865. He drove a wagon in the war. He was a farmer.
Mike also found information about Capt. James Barnes, who was a civil engineer and returned to Phoenix to practice his profession after the war. He died in 1905.
Mike is a retired engineer, himself. He worked for General Electric's heavy military unit. He had assignments in Alaska and Turkey. After he retired from GE he worked for Lucent Technologies, an affiliate of AT&T, in Saudi Arabia. His family owned Reliable Seaford Co. in Syracuse.
I contacted Justin White, Oswego County's historian. He hadn't heard of John Carver, but when he got back to me, he'd uncovered a lot of information about him.
Records show that the Carvers lived on Lot 17 in the town of Hastings. Justin found the lot on old maps; it's along Wagner Drive (or road), between U.S. 11 and I-81. Both Carver and his second wife, Sophia, were buried in Mallory Cemetery, which is along County Route 12.
Justin also found a copy of John Carver's obituary of 1894, where he is listed as the father of 14 children, with two wives. His first wife, Rachel Shepard, died in 1851 at the age of 29. His second wife, Sophia, listed four sons and four daughters and four stepchildren at her death in 1904. The children lived in Central Square, Mallory and Syracuse.
The obit notice said John Carver was a member of Mallory's Methodist Episcopal Church and the Grand Army of the Republic Chapter at Central Square. The writer remarked that the turnout for his funeral service was quite large.
Mike Bronner believes John Carver inscribed the words on the straight razor. The signatures on the razor and John's pension application match, he says.
He plans to get together with historian Justin White at Oswego this week to exchange information on John Carver. He says the material has rejuvenated his research of the mystery after all these years. He hopes to locate Carver descendants. He'll turn over the razor to them if he does.
"This was meant to be," he says of his discovery.
And, no, he never did get to hunt deer in southeast Oswego County way back then. "My car broke down," Mike explained.

So far residents living near last week's large gasoline spill in the town of Aurelius have dodged any contamination problems in their private wells, a Cayuga County health official said today.
Contamination tests on the wells of the six residences who live closest to the spill near Turnpike and Townsend roads have not shown any gasoline in their well water, said Kathleen Cuddy, the county's deputy director of health and human services.
"As far as the wells go, so far, so good,'' Cuddy said. "This should provide some reassurance to those residents who live further away from the spill site.''
Daily tests have been conducted since last Wednesday -- a day after a farmer doing field drainage work accidentally ruptured an underground gasoline line. Some 3,300 gallons of gas leaked and pooled on the ground.
Dozens of nearby residents were told to evacuate their homes for several hours because officials initially feared the gasoline vapors could explode. All of the homeowners in this rural area, a few miles west of Auburn, have well water.
Buckeye Partners LP, of Breinigsville, Pa., repaired its severed 10-inch pipeline last Thursday. The state Department of Environmental Conservation is overseeing the cleanup and investigation of the spill.
Cuddy said the county has lifted its temporary advisory for residents near the spill to avoid drinking water from their wells.
"We've had a week of clean testing so we think drinking from their wells is just fine,'' she added.

Scouting The G-Braves Opponent: Starling Marte
Photo courtesy of Karl Moore
The No. 4 prospect in the Pittsburgh Pirates system is outfielder Starling Marte. Born in 1988 out of the Dominican Republic, the 6-foot, 2-inch speedster was signed by the Pirates in June, 2007, but he didn't arrive in the United States until 2009. He is a five-tool player that has become more projectable over the last season since he is beginning to develop his power. The Indianapolis superstar is only starting to find his groove in the game and at the plate, so the Pirates are willing to be patient with him for the time being.
2012 Stats: .266 Batting Average, 36 R, 65 Hits, 12 Doubles, 8 Triples, 5 HR, 34 RBI, 108 TB, 15 SB, .323 OBP, .443 SLG, .766 OPS
Marte has above average speed and can beat out infield hits with regularity. At times, he can be too aggressive at the plate which is a setback to his on-base percentage according to Baseball America.
In 2009, playing in the Double-A, Marte led the Eastern League in batting (.332), hits (178) and doubles (38). He has drawn a great deal of comparisons to Detroit Tiger outfielder and leadoff man Austin Jackson.
His plate discipline has improved over his three years of minor league baseball with the Pittsburgh organization. He is an above-average defensive outfielder with range, but will get better with more time and experience at the higher levels of professional baseball. Marte has an unquestioned passion for the game which is an unmeasurable intangible that makes the difference between a good player and a great player at the next level. He is so good defensively in centerfield that he will push current Pirates centerfielder Andrew McCutchen to one of the corner outfield spots upon his arrival in Pittsburgh. The ceiling is extremely high for yet another Pittsburgh Pirates five-tool outfield prospect.

G-Braves Can't Slow Down Indianapolis Offense
Photo courtesy of Kyle Hess
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. – The Gwinnett Braves led 2-1 after the first inning, but ultimately fell 5-4 to the Indianapolis Indians in the first game of a four-game series on Monday evening at Coolray Field. Jose Lugo made the spot start for Gwinnett and allowed five runs, four earned, over 6.1 innings in the loss. As a result of their 15th loss in the last 20 games and Charlotte's 5-2 victory over Columbus, the G-Braves find themselves a season-worst 5.0 games behind the Knights (42-30) for first place in the International League South Division.
Ernesto Mejia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, but it would not be enough for the G-Braves. He crushed his 13th home run of the season, a solo shot to left in the third inning off VandenHurk, to cut the deficit to 4-3. The Gwinnett slugger went 2-for-4 with six total bases, a double, a home run, two runs scored and his team-leading 49th RBI.
The IL West leading Indians jumped out to an early lead almost immediately. The second hitter of the game, Gorkys Hernandez, scalded a triple into the gap and then scored when the following hitter Starling Marte drove him home on a sacrifice fly.
Gwinnett wasted little time responding with two runs of their own in the bottom half of the first. Luis Durango singled for his first of two hits on the night, and two batters later, Mejia doubled to put two runners in scoring position. Felix Pie came through with a clutch two-run double that gave Gwinnett their only lead of the night at 2-1.

Lugo (L, 1-2) worked right into a jam in the top of the second. Georgia native Brandon Boggs led off with a double, then scored on an Anderson Hernandez single to tie the game. Pitcher Rick VandenHurk followed with a run-scoring single to put the Indians ahead, and four batters later, Marte drove in his second of three RBIs on the night when he singled home VandenHurk to raise the lead to….

First Place Indians Provide Huge Test for Gwinnett

The Gwinnett Braves began their nine-game homestand in eight days on Thursday night with a loss to Columbus. The G-Braves wound up losing the series 3-2 after sweeping the doubleheader from the Clippers, then dropped the next two contests. On Father's Day the G-Braves were trailing by just one run for most of the game until late in the ballgame when the Gwinnett bullpen surrendered three runs. Columbus won the season-series with the G-Braves 5-3 after taking two of three from Gwinnett in Ohio earlier this month.
Monday the G-Braves welcome the International League West leading Indianapolis Indians to Lawrenceville for four games to conclude Gwinnett's current nine-game homestand. The Pittsburgh Pirates Triple-A affiliate is currently in first place in the IL West with an impressive 40-29 record. They lead the next closest team in the division, Columbus, by a staggering 7.5 games which is easily the biggest first place lead in the league.
The Indianapolis Indians are stacked with former Major League pitching talent such as; Rick VandenHurk, JoJo Reyes, Daniel Cabrera, Daniel McCutchen and Jeff Karstens just to name a few. Indianapolis will be one of the G-Braves toughest tests so far this season at home.

Todd Redmond Receives Call to Atlanta Braves
Photo courtesy of Daniel Hamby
For the first time in his professional career, Todd Redmond has finally received his call-up to the big leagues as the Atlanta Braves purchased the right-handers contract on Sunday prior to their game against the Baltimore Orioles. After playing for the Gwinnett Braves the previous four seasons, including the 2012 campaign, the 27-year-old paid his dues indeed. For the season in Triple-A Gwinnett, Redmond was 6-4 with a 3.20 ERA alongside being the most consistent pitcher in the G-Braves starting rotation.
Redmond, 27, joins Atlanta's 25-man roster for the first time in his career and will make his Major League debut when he first pitches for the Braves. In 13 Triple-A starts this season, the right-hander went 6-4 with a 3.20 ERA (27 ER in 76.0 IP), walked 19 and struck out 67. He had gone 4-1 with a 3.11 ERA (13 ER in 37.2 IP) over his last six starts with Gwinnett including a seven-inning complete-game shutout in his last start, game one of a doubleheader against Columbus on June 15.
The 2012 season was Redmond's fourth-straight as a member of the G-Braves. In 2011, he went 10-8 and ranked among International League leaders in innings pitched (1st, 169.2), WHIP (2nd, 1.17), ERA (3rd, 2.92) and strikeouts (5th, 142). The prior year, he went 9-10 with a 4.26 ERA in a career-high 28 starts for Gwinnett. His 2010 campaign included the first and only no-hitter in G-Braves history, thrown on May 28, 2010 at Louisville. Redmond, while never an IL All-Star, is one of just four pitchers to ever win IL Pitcher of the Week four times in league history. He last won it on May 21 of this season.
Originally the 39th round selection of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2004 June draft out of St. Petersburg College (St. Petersburg, FL), Redmond was acquired by Atlanta in exchange for right-hander Tyler Yates on March 26, 2008. He's a career 69-54 with a 3.54 ERA in 194 games, 188 starts in his minor league career.

Atlanta's corresponding move was promoting right-hander Billy Bullock from Double-A Mississippi. Bullock, 24, arrives from Mississippi where he went 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA (12 ER in 30.0 IP) and one save in 18 relief appearances. The right-hander had allowed just one unearned run over his last five outings for the M-Braves, totaling 6.1 innings. Ranked the No. 24 prospect in the Braves system according to Baseball America entering this season, Bullock joins Gwinnett for the second time in his career. He pitched once in relief last season, going 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA (0 ER in 1.0 IP).
He was originally the second round selection of the Minnesota Twins in the 2009 June draft out of the University of Florida, Bullock was acquired by Atlanta in exchange for left-hander Scott Diamond on March 28, 2011. He's a career 10-11 with a 3.58 ERA and 50 saves in 160 minor league appearances, all in relief. With the current moves, the Gwinnett active roster stands at 24 players out of a possible 25 maximum.

G-Braves, Teheran Set for Takeoff Saturday
Photo courtesy of Karl Moore
The Gwinnett Braves began their nine-game homestand in eight days on Thursday night with a loss to Columbus. However, Gwinnett managed to stay composed as they swept the doubleheader on Friday, 4-0 and 8-3. Todd Redmond went the distance for the complete-game victory in the first game and then Eric Junge was victorious in the second game for the G-Braves after an offensive explosion. Gwinnett moved their record to 37-32 on the season with the back-to-back wins over Columbus.
Luis Durango and Tyler Pastornicky led the offense with a combined total of nine hits between them. Pastornicky finished the second game with four hits and five RBI. Durango went 3-for-3 in the first game with two runs scored and he added two more stolen bases to his International League leading 26 steals in 33 attempts for the season.

The G-Braves will host the Columbus Clippers (June 14-17) for two more games before the International League West leading Indianapolis Indians (June 18-21) visit Lawrenceville for four games to conclude Gwinnett's current nine-game homestand.
Friday, June 15 Starting Line-up from Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, Georgia:
The Gwinnett Braves (37-32) and Columbus Clippers (31-37) will play the fourth game of their five-game series on Saturday night at Coolray Field, first pitch scheduled for 7:05 PM. Right-hander Julio Teheran (5-2, 3.15) is scheduled to start for the G-Braves, while the Clippers counter with right-hander Zach McAllister (4-2, 2.98). The game will be broadcast on WDUN 550 AM and 102.9 FM in Gainesville, GA with Tony Schiavone calling the play-by-play.
Teheran last appeared in a game on Sunday afternoon for the Atlanta Braves. The No. 2 prospect in minor league baseball was promoted to make a spot-start for Tim Hudson against the Toronto Blue Jays from Turner Field. The G-Braves ace right-hander was untouchable the first four innings on Sunday, but surrendered four runs in the fifth and exited the game with the no decision. Regardless, the 2012 Triple-A All-Star candidate is hungry to get back to his winning ways. Teheran's last victory came the start before his Braves spot-start, against the Charlotte Knights on June 3. Gwinnett's ace went the distance for his first career complete-game victory, as he allowed just one run all game.

Interview: G-Braves 2012 All-Star Candidates
Photo courtesy of Chris Roughgarden
The Gwinnett Braves have been one of the best team's in the International League this season, as the pitching staff has led the way. At one point in the season, the G-Braves staff was ranked No. 1 in the IL. The bats have come a long way as well, with Ernesto Mejia and Stefan Gartrell doing a great deal of the heavy lifting. However, with just over two months left in the regular season, the G-Braves find themselves in second place of the IL South and primed in a perfect position to make a run at the league title.
The 2012 All-Star voting concludes on Friday, June 22 so vote early and often for your favorite G-Braves players. Visit MiLB.com today or simply click this link to get your ballot started: http://www.milb.com/milb/events/asg/y2012/ballot/
I had a chance to sit down with a bunch of G-Braves players prior to their 10-game road trip last week to hear their thoughts and opinions on who is having an all-star type season. Respectfully, a majority of the G-Braves are worthy of consideration, however only a handful will make the team. That is why you, the fans, need to get over to MiLB.com and make your opinions known. Voting for the 2012 All-Star Game in Buffalo, New York concludes Friday, June 22. Click here to vote now.
Ernesto Mejia:
"We're having a great season this year as a team. Julio Teheran is doing well, very well just like last year. He has more experience this year and I think he should be one of those players (all-stars)," said Mejia. "Jordan Parraz was having a good year, but he is hurt right now, so he may have to wait a little more. He was doing really good. Gartrell has a lot of RBI and home runs and has been helping the team a lot. Durango has a lot of stolen bases, he is leading the league so he deserves it too. We have a lot of good players. I'm doing really good right now too and I'm just working hard. It's every players dream to go to the all-star game and I hope I can make it. I would go of course. I'm excited because it's my first year in Triple-A. It would be awesome. This year I feel like I have more experience. Last year in Double-A I had a good season and back in winter ball too. In winter ball, the league is very tough. Sometimes its harder there because we have a lot of big league guys. That has helped me a lot and I've been working a lot more this year. Last year, I didn't workout a lot during the season because it made me tired. But this year, I'm working with Matt (Parvis) in the gym and I think that is what's keeping me healthy and stronger."

Julio Teheran:
"The pitchers. I think everyone here can make it. I want to, but I know I'm not having my best season," said Teheran. "I'm not trying to complain (about this season) and I continue working. I'll try to make it (the all-star team) if I can. I made it last year, but I couldn't go because I was in the Future Stars Game, which was a good experience for me. The Future's (Game) was good. It was exciting for me. I want to go (2012 ASG in Buffalo). That would make me feel good."

Luis Durango:
"I think this is a very good team. I like all the pitching and position players (for the All-Star Game). I like the team," Durango said. "Nesto is having a good year. I like him, he's a good player. I'd like that for him (making the team). What's working for me is the stolen bases (23, 1st) and the little at-bats which has been good for me."

Dave Brundage:
"Gartrell's had a heck of a month. Mejia has been absolutely on fire. Looking around, Durango leads the league in stolen bases," said Brundage. "From an offensive standpoint, obviously Constanza was worthy of consideration when he was here. He did a great job in the leadoff spot and the No. 2 hole. What a tandem those two are and what a force they are in our line-up. We've been up there in the league leaders for pitching throughout. Cory Gearrin has solidified the front end of the bullpen and a lot of pitchers are deserving. You look at Redmond and how consistent he is, you hope he gets considered along the way. Just from a pitching standpoint, pitching is why we are where we are today. Yet, we don't have tremendous numbers when they're sizing up numbers, but you can look up and down our staff. Flande goes back-to-back shutouts and now he's in the bullpen. It just goes to show you the strength of our ballclub lies with our pitching. Playing the game the right way with our speed, a little power, a lot of our guys our worthy of making an all-star team. At the same time, we do things as a team that's where we are today."

Jaime Dismuke:
"Mejia. Constanza, but he's not here. He's doing bigger and better things right now," Dismuke said. "Gartrell and Durango. This was my first year seeing Ernie (Mejia) and he's solid, both offensively and defensively. He's big and he moves well, that's the surprising thing. Gartrell has done it in the past. He's hit 20+ home runs the last three years in this league. At the end of the season, you're going to look up (at the scoreboard) and he's going to have the same numbers he had in the past. He started out slow, but he's picked it up. Durango, you know speed kills. Speed never slumps and he does a good job from both sides of the plate. So, those are my choices right there."
Photo courtesy of Karl Moore
Christian Marrero:
"I would say Mejia. Since the beginning of the year to now, he looks a lot better hitting wise. He's making adjustments and helping the team out a lot. He's having great at-bats and almost every at-bat is unbelievable," said Marrero. "He gets the job done and I would say the same for Gartrell. He started off slow, but what he's doing now is great for the team. Hitting balls hard and having great at-bats, him (Gartrell) and Mejia have put the team on their backs. Louis too, he nearly has 30 stolen bases already. He's the one that sets the tone for us. Without him, those guys (Gartrell/Mejia) wouldn't be able to have as many RBI. I just try to be ready if they put me in the line-up. If I'm out there, I'm going to give it 100-percent. If I'm not in the line-up, when it's my time to pinch-hit, I make sure I'm ready and try to help the team out as much as I can. I'm comfortable everywhere. I'm feeling great in the outfield and at first base too. As long as I'm in the line-up, I'm happy. Redmond is getting hot right now. He's doing really well. For relievers, I'd say the whole bullpen. Anybody could go from the bullpen. Cory (Gearrin) has been unbelievable, lights out. Buddy (Carlyle) too and Russell. And Chappy (Jaye Chapman), that's why I say the whole bullpen (laughing)."

Marty Reed:
"I think Redmond belongs on it. I'd say Julio (Teheran) belongs on it. He's had some dominating games," Reed said. "Cory Gearrin, without a doubt. Chappy (Jaye Chapman) should get in. If Varvaro had been here for awhile, he'd be a guy. I don't know where we rank in pitching, third or fourth, there's got to be a reason why our guys should have a good opportunity to get on that team. He (Flande) has put together some good starts too. There are going to be a lot of guys that are a coin flip because you're also talking about how many other teams? If each team has two, then you've got too many pitchers. I think we've got probably five or six guys that deserve it and it could be any one of them. For me, Redmond is a lock in terms of consistency. Julio, in terms of a starter. There may be some guys who have had a better year, but his track record and he has had some dominating starts. Five guys would be pretty good."

The Gwinnett Braves began their nine-game homestand in eight days on Thursday night with a loss to Columbus. Jair Jurrjens made one mistake in the game and it wound up costing him and the G-Braves when Russ Canzler blasted a grand slam in the sixth for the Clippers 4-0 victory. The G-Braves will host the Columbus Clippers (June 14-17) for five games and the International League West leading Indianapolis Indians (June 18-21) for four games.

Julio Teheran Makes His 2012 Atlanta Braves Debut
Photo courtesy of Karl Moore
The G-Braves ace Julio Teheran was called-up by the Atlanta Braves to make a spot-start for Tim Hudson on Sunday afternoon at Turner Field against the Toronto Blue Jays. The No. 2 overall prospect in minor league baseball opposed the Blue Jays southpaw ace Ricky Romero. Before the game, Chipper Jones was activated from the 15-day disabled list and Jose Constanza and J.C. Boscan were both optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Teheran lasted just 4.1 innings on Sunday, as Toronto's potent offense got to the stud right-hander in the fifth inning. The Braves starter hadn't allowed a run in his first four innings of work as Teheran looked sharp and determined to prove a point. However, the wheels came off in the fifth inning with the Braves leading 4-0, as Toronto struck for six total runs in the inning. Teheran allowed four of the six runs to cross the plate in the frame.
The reigning Atlanta Braves 2011 Minor League Pitcher of the Year walked away with the no decision after 4.1 innings pitched. Teheran surrendered four earned runs on four hits and struck out five while he walked just one batter amidst the 74-pitch effort.
Thw 21-year-old has so much room to improve, so there shouldn't be a feeling of wanting to rush this kid to the big leagues. Julio Teheran's time is coming in the not-to-distant future, but for now, you can't rush the growing process which is vital to the future success of his career. Stay tuned to The G-Blog in the coming days for news on Julio's next start….

Atlanta Braves Minor League Report (June 2012)

Atlanta Braves (31-25, 2nd place)
The big league club plays in arguably the toughest division in Major League Baseball, alongside the American League East. However, the Braves are having another solid season and are in line for one of the five playoff spots in the 2012 MLB Playoffs as they trail the Washington Nationals by 2 games in the NL East standings. Atlanta is succeeding with a host of players from their deep minor league system. Everyone knows about the quick ascentions of Craig Kimbrel and Freddie Freeman and a year earlier with Tommy Hanson and Jason Heyward, but how about the contributions from former Gwinnett Braves such as; Jose Constanza, J.C. Boscan and Randall Delgado this season? Enough can't be said for the guys in Gwinnett who've already made their presence felt in Atlanta like; Tyler Pastornicky, Jair Jurrjens and Cory Gearrin. The Braves most highy-piblicized promotion this season came from Double-A Mississippi, when the Braves promoted Andrelton Simmons to Atlanta. Since entering the Major League fold, the highly touted shortstop has been brilliant both defensively and offensively. He was one of the top ranked shortstop prospects in minor league baseball and the No. 4 overall prospect in the Braves system according to Baseball America. The Braves are 19-5 this season when Chipper Jones is in the starting line-up, so look for more good times ahead as the living legend is eligible to return from the DL on Friday, amidst his final season in an illustrious Hall-of-Fame career.
Gwinnett Braves (33-27, 2nd place)
Photo courtesy of Chris Roughgarden
The G-Braves have been struggling as of late, from both an offensive and pitching standpoint. In their last two games, Gwinnett has allowed 15 runs to their opposition, while the G-Braves offense has accumulated just five hits and two total runs over that span. For the month of May, Gwinnett registered a 15-15 record after securing the best mark in the International League (17-7) in April. The G-Braves are now 1.5 games behind the IL South leading Charlotte Knights after Gwinnett squandered a maximum first place lead in April of 7.0 games. Julio Teheran is the unquestionable ace of the staff and Todd Redmond has been the most consistent starter in 2012. In fact, Redmond was named the IL Pitcher of the Week the same week as teammate Ernesto Mejia was awarded the IL Batter of the Week. You can't talk about the offense without mentioning the guy who got them going and the G-Braves 2011 MVP, Stefan Gartrell. Gartrell was named the IL Batter of the Week the first week of May after transforming his batting average from .165 on April 29 to .263 a month later on May 29. Luis Durango and Christian Marrero were also instrumental to the G-Braves offense through the month of May. Cory Gearrin has solidified the closer's role in the bullpen and has six saves on the season. Jaye Chapman, Anthony Varvaro, Jose Lugo and Buddy Carlyle have excelled out of the bullpen this month for Gwinnett.
Mississippi Braves (26-34, 5th place)
Photo courtesy of Melinda Pease
The Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves has a great deal of star-power, but that has yet to be realized 100-percent with their 10-9 record in the month of May. Mississippi, as a team, does not have a great deal of power or speed, totaling just 18 home runs all season and not one player on the M-Braves has double-digit stolen bases. Mississippi is led by one of the best catching prospects in baseball in the form of Christian Bethancourt. This season, the do-it -all catcher is batting .257 with 29 hits, 10 RBI and 31 total bases. In 43 games with Mississippi this season, Simmons batted .292 with 28 runs scored, 50 hits, nine doubles, two triples, three home runs, 21 RBI, 10 stolen bases and an extraordinary 1:1 walk to strikeout ratio with 20 of each, prior to his promotion. Ian Gac and Evan Gattis supply a majority of the power for this team, as the two have combined for 10 home runs and 41 RBI in 2012. Todd Cunningham is their one-base guy, as he boasts a team-leading .325 batting including his team-high 54 hits and .371 on-base percentage. The former Independent League star Gary Moran has transitioned to affiliated ball brilliantsly this season after coming over from the River City Rascals of the Frontier League. This year, the big righty has a 1-4 record with a 3.00 ERA, alongside 41 strikeouts to just 19 walks in 57.0 innings of work. Zeke Spruill leads the team in wins with five and Mark Lamm is the team -leader in saves with six in eight opportunities. Don't forget the Braves first round pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, Sean Gilmartin who has 3-5 mark with a 3.39 ERA in 11 starts, including 52 stirikeouts and 17 walks in 69.0 innings pitched.

Born and raised in Southeastern Wisconsin, I'm number eight of ten kids. Reading and writing became my escape. Somewhere I can let my imagination free rein. I feel like I've been writing my entire life. I discovered romances in my late teens but after reading countless Harlequin categories and historicals, I moved on to science fiction. It wasn't until five or six years ago when I found paranormal romances that I discovered what I wanted to be when I grow up. A romance writer. I haven't looked back since.
I still live in Southeastern Wisconsin with my husband and daughter. Between working full time as a legal assistant, attending to my family (and pets), and writing ... I manage to keep on top of things, in a manic sort of way.

Fallen Angel Review- November 2007
By: Jean Five Angel Review
The author skillfully blends science fiction and romance, resulting in a balanced but suspenseful plot. The multiple plotlines serve to increase the tension leading to a grand climax in which all is resolved. I really enjoyed this novel.
Romance Reviews Today March 2008
By Vi Janaway
PROMISE FOR TOMORROW, a rousing delight of a read. Danger, deceit, betrayal, love, and surprises both good and bad, abound and surround them all. An excellent story of an intriguing culture and a paradise that should remain unspoiled with dreamy style and colorful prose. Get it, read it, KEEP it.
Romantic Times:
Awards Promise For Tomorrow 4 ½ Stars. It also made the "TOP PICK" list of books.
Praise for FORGET ABOUT TOMORROW:
Romantic Times Magazine Says:
This action-filled thrill ride is full of romance and suspense. Readers will delight in this fast-paced, engaging novel.
Coffee Times Reviews Says:
Ms. Kreger has a talent for drawing out the action in such a way as to keep the reader on their toes until the very last page. It is full of more twists and turns than you would find on a roller coaster I highly recommend it!.
Fallen Angel Reviews:
I like the authors writing style, which is fairly straightforward and robust, because it moves the action of the plot along without dallying and is colorful without being overly flowery.

With the rise of Islamic supremacism in the Middle East, a revanchist Russia, and the weak U.S. economic recovery, to go along with hyper-regulation in the wake of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, quantitative easing of the Federal Reserve and the implementation of Obamacare, you might think that Steve Forbes would look on at America's position with pessimism.
But if you thought that, you would be wrong.
In a wide-ranging interview with TheBlaze Books in connection with his new book, "Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy — and What We Can Do About It," the chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media — publisher of the popular Forbes magazine — sounded an optimistic note, arguing that America's apparent malaise is more cyclical than secular, a temporary decline from which we will bounce back stronger.
Responding to the a question about the recent bearish comments of several high-profile investors, Forbes told us:
[W]hat we're experiencing now is not a new normal, but an abnormal — new abnormal. It's a detour. It's not the new direction. And we're going to emerge strong again, just as we did in the '80s and '90s.
Forbes believes that the political reforms coming down the pike with respect to economic and monetary policy, presumably to be advanced by conservatives, will pave the way for a return to prosperity:
"American[s]…instinctively understand that you cannot have a strong country with a weak currency"
I think the elections this November…especially the elections in 2016, you're gonna see emerge a mandate for making a radical change in our tax code. I know of several potential candidates who are coming up with proposals on that. And I think you're gonna start to see a real discussion to lay the foundations for restoring integrity and strength to the dollar.
And I think the American people instinctively understand that you cannot have a strong country with a weak currency — a weak dollar.
I think you're gonna start to see the groundwork laid for the strengthening of the dollar, a simpler tax code — a radically simplified one, and a new healthcare system emerging where the patient is in charge.
You can listen to more of Forbes' forecast on the future of America's economy beginning around 21:57 below.
Forbes' remarks rounded out an in-depth discussion on the gold standard, monetary policy, economics and a whole host of other topics addressed in "Money." Some of the most compelling issues Forbes and I discussed during the interview include:
- The link between foreign policy/American strength and monetary policy [At interview start]
- How currency devaluation helps the financial sector to the detriment of the rest of the American economy [Starting at 3:00]
- The significance of a strong currency in enabling trade and thus trust, and social stability/morality [Starting at 5:17]
- Why the historical record of the gold standard should trump the arguments of its naysayers [Starting at 10:08]
- Whether politicians will ever be incentivized to truly support a sound dollar [Starting at 12:30]
- Why quantitative easing was more disastrous than the Obamacare rollout [Starting at 14:35]
- Forbes' challenge to Keynesians like Paul Krugman who argue that free marketeers have been wrong in their forecast of economic doom [Starting at 16:00]
- What Steve Forbes' gold standard would look like were he to replace Janet Yellen [Starting at 18:29]
- And much more

"Has anyone seen a ghost" he asks. To which ten hands go up.
"Have any of you had a sexual encounter with a ghost". One little guy at the back puts up his hand.

Eighty Percent Of FBS Coaches Against Rule Change
According to an ESPN poll, just 25 of 128 FBS coaches (one didn't vote) favor a rule proposal that would slow down college offenses.
The rule, which would force offenses to delay the snap until less than 30 seconds remain on the play clock, is scheduled for a March 6 vote by the 11-member oversight panel of the rules committee.
Based on anecdotal evidence revealed by widespread public consternation from coaches, the biggest shock may be that nearly 20 percent are in favor of the rule, which seemingly will get punted out of the room without the need to even count votes.
Only 11 of those in favor of the rules change came from power conferences, according to ESPN. So Alabama's Nick Saban and Arkansas' Bret Bielema have approximately nine allies in the entirety of the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC.
Saban did get a personal audience with the committee, which is in part what sparked the national outrage from coaches like Arizona's Rich Rodriguez and Washington State's Mike Leach.
The 11 members with a vote includes just one from a major conference (Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott), a rare spread of power.
Florida coach Will Muschamp gave his two cents on the matter to ESPN.com, and his comments seem like an accurate summary of the issue, which has given college football writers a go-to topic for February.
"You're talking four to six plays [in a game that would be affected]. Come on. It's not that big of a deal," Mus
"It's not about player safety. To me, it's funny that everybody wants to argue whatever their point is. It's not really about what's good for the game. It's about, 'What's good for me at the end of the day.'
"All these hurry-up guys want to snap as fast as they can snap it, and the guys who don't hurry up want the game slowed down."

When nine-year-old Shaun Bates arrived at Huron High School Thursday to watch his aunt's basketball game, the only thing being played was the team's warm up music.
Huron's opponent, Detroit Country Day, was stuck in traffic, so the game was delayed and pregame music was extended. Shaun, a fourth grader at Adams STEM Academy in Ypsilanti, decided to use this time to practice his moves.
Shaun was so good that I joked to a player that he should perform at halftime. The player told Shaun this and he took it as an invitation. He reported for duty at the scorer's table promptly at halftime, ready to perform.
There were some confused looks, I confessed to everybody at the scorer's table that the misunderstanding was probably – ok…definitely – my fault, and everyone laughed.
Everyone but Shaun that is. He was ready for his close up. Far be it from the game day crew to deny Shaun, so they cued up the music and, to the delight of everyone in attendance -- Shaun danced, danced and danced some more.

"Don't fear the ink. The ink is your friend." That is what I tell my students, and I believe it -- on alternating Tuesdays.
May 3, 2011
I am the Picture Thief!
I am the Picture Thief! I took this picture, but I may be stealing the student blogger's proverbial thunder. Sorry! But --- contrary to what parents and teachers may say, we have favorites. Fortunately, I'm talking about classes. Each term one or two classes just comes together. Conversely, usually one or two classes doesn't. So every term I have the experience of being really bummed out about the end of one of our classes and really okay with the end of another. I have no ability to predict which class will be either the shining star of the term or the class that seems like it never actually takes off. Subject matter is not predictive. Time of day... I'm chalking it up to some confluence of chemistry of students with one another and with me, time, subject matter, and whatever else.
This term was a tough call for shining star. But the recognition goes to RUS 101 (pictured above.) This group jumped in and away we went. I will miss us as a group and being able to study Russian language and culture.

ZEELAND TOWNSHIP, MI – Zeeland Township will break ground sometime this summer on a new public safety building just east of the Township Hall on Byron Road.
On Thursday, township residents got a chance to see what the new 12,500-square-foot building will look like. The open house came two nights after the township board unanimously approved the project.
The new building will include three bays for fire trucks, as well as administrative offices for the fire department, an office for the township's contracted sheriff's deputy, and an emergency operations center in the basement, said project architect Bill Bedford of Paradigm Design Inc.
Zeeland Township currently has two fire stations – the Drenthe station on 64th Avenue and the Beaverdam station on 72nd Avenue, but officials say the stations are cramped.
"There's no room," Township Supervisor Glenn Nykamp said. "At the station in Drenthe, you can barely walk around the trucks."
The township has 32 part-paid firefighters. While the township has no plans to change its department to full-time status, the design of the building would accommodate such a move, said Chuck Geneen of GDK Construction, of Holland, the project's construction manager.
"It's conservative in its construction and design to meet current needs, but it's generous in that it will meet the needs of the township in the future," Geenen said.
Preliminary estimates place the cost of the new building at $1.8 million, although final costs won't be determined until bids are taken this spring, Nykamp said.
The township has saved $1.3 million over the past 10 years for the new facility's instruction, with the remaining costs expected to come from the township's general fund reserves, Nykamp said.
Construction is slated to begin in May or June, and is likely to take about a year to complete, Geneen said.

This comes courtesy of last nights guest on "The Two Man Game", Natalie Sitto of Need4Sheed. A reader passed this along to her:
The link was sent to me in a tweet that said simply "this is what you're in for."
I don't know about you guys… but I think I'm gonna like Sheed's care-free attitude. I love the thought of Sheed sitting in a diner, whistling along to the radio, not having a care in the world.
We found out on last night's episode of "The Two Man Game" that Sheed is also a big Apple Store freak. You can listen to the show, and the 5 minutes or so of "Red's Army After Dark" that was recorded after the stream stopped… by going to our show page. If you missed last night's show… I royally screwed up the first few minutes of the show. Might be worth listening to just for my quiet cursing. After that though, it was a good show.

We are a group of volunteer enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation and study of all things Morwell and the surrounding districts.
We are an indoor historical society with in-house research facilities. The collection consists of items of local interest including an extensive photo collection, maps, family history records and much more, including articles and some small objects relevent to Morwell and its people, all of which can be searched for on our catalogue.
Included in our collection are photo albums from schools now closed or merged, eg Morwell Technical School and Morwell High School.
We are constantly looking for new material to add to our collection and we are especially interested in the settlements of White City of which we have very little information and the Yallourn Migrant Hostel, of which we have even less. This hostel was situated between the Latrobe Valley Community Hospital and Morwell Bridge.
Morwell High School Reunion
|The Morwell Historical Society will be opened on Saturday 12th November, Sunday 13th November and Monday 14 November from 10am to 4pm for past students to view our school records and class photos of the Morwell High School. We also have photos and records of the Morwell Technical School and Morwell primary schools.

MOUNT PLEASANT — It was a contest that came down to the wire, but Central Michigan held on to earn a 63-60 win over NAIA opponent Cornerstone on Wednesday.
CMU (3-9) had a five-point lead with less than a minute left, but Cornerstone's Wes Hudson hit a field goal to cut the lead to three with just 19 seconds left. Cornerstone was forced to fold, but the Chippewas made just one free throw and Hudson hit a lay-up wih nine seconds left.
However, two free throws by CMU's Derek Kingshott was too much for Cornerstone, as the Chippewas held on for the win.
Trey Zeiger led the Chippewas (3-9) with 19 points and also grabbed nine rebounds. Jalin Thomas added 13, and Derek Jackson contributed 10.

Those injuries cause 52,000 deaths and cost more than $60 billion, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And for those with a moderate or severe brain injury, there's little help.
"For most of these folks, there's not much other than supportive care in most cases," says Dr. Nicholas Bambakidis, director of cerebrovascular and skull base surgery at University Hospitals Case Medical Center.
That typically means a breathing tube and a feeding tube while doctors wait for the patient to regain consciousness.
Now, though, research is under way that could change all that. And two Northeast Ohio hospitals are participating in the study.
For years doctors have thought women recover better than men from devastating head injuries. The female hormone progesterone, the researchers believe, is one reason why. So they're testing its use in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
Since the study began in 2010, doctors in 21 countries have been comparing severely brain-injured patients who receive an intravenous progesterone infusion to those who receive a placebo infusion.
MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland and Summa Akron City Hospital are among the 150 or so hospitals enrolling patients. Both hospitals have Level 1 trauma centers, which are more likely to care for patients who survive the car accidents and falls that often leave patients brain damaged and unconscious.
The Phase III trial is expected to end this summer after enrolling 1,180 patients. Results should be available in 2014.
Phase III is the last round of testing a treatment must go through before approval can be requested from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. That approval could come as early as late 2014, said Neta Nelson, global project director of the study and vice president of project management and operations at BHR Pharma, which is overseeing the study. Because little else is available to help those with severe brain injuries, the FDA has fast-tracked the progesterone infusion, Nelson said.
Researchers hope the Phase III results will be similar to those from a Phase II study of 100 U.S. patients. In that study, those who received progesterone were half as likely to die than those who received the placebo.
"Our ultimate goal is to be able to provide the first true hope for severe TBI patients and their families," Nelson said.
"We're not looking to just save lives, although that is a goal. We know that just saving lives in severe traumatic brain injury patients is not the be-all and end-all. We're hoping that they will have better functional recovery, too."
Nelson also said she hopes the treatment will mean fewer months of rehab and lower health-care costs for the patients.
"This is the kind of thing that changes the way you practice medicine," says Bambakidis, who's not involved in the study. "It's novel and unique and there's really nothing similar we can offer patients with this problem."
He cautions that the results are not yet in.
"And even if there is a positive result," he says, "you have to translate it to daily clinical practice."
Researchers, Bambakidis explains, know that daily clinical practice doesn't always yield the same results found in trials. That said, local doctors involved in the progesterone study are optimistic.
"We hope to provide more treatment options for patients who have devastating head injuries," said Jeffrey Claridge, the director of the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, and Burns at MetroHealth Medical Center and the doctor overseeing the research there.
"Trauma is the leading cause of loss of work years and quality of life and head injury is a major cause of that disability."
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 5.3 million Americans are living with a disability that resulted from a traumatic brain injury.
"The thing about TBI is that there's an awful lot we still don't understand," said Dr. Richard George, the Summa Akron City Hospital trauma surgeon overseeing the research at that hospital. "Despite the advances, we still have a long way to go," said George, the hospital's chief of the Division of Trauma Surgery.
Patients enrolled in what is called the SYNAPSE study are 16 to 70 years old, have serious closed-head injuries -- no gunshot or other penetrating wounds -- must begin treatment within eight hours of being injured and have a family member available to consent to their participation in the study.
The trial is double blind, meaning neither doctors nor patients know who's getting the progesterone and who's getting the placebo.
Those who get the progesterone receive it intravenously for five straight days. The dose produced no significant side effects in the Phase II studies, according to Nelson.
Among other things, progesterone helps prepare a woman's body for pregnancy, regulates periods and is used in pills and other birth-control methods to prevent pregnancy.
Men make small amounts of the hormone, which also helps the body deal with stress.
The hormone, which also affects the brain and central nervous system, is naturally produced after an injury, but only for a short time.
The version used in the study is plant-based and is being manufactured for BHR Pharma, the research and development arm of Besins Healthcare, based in Brussels and Bangkok, which specializes in providing hormone products for the treatment of infertility, low testosterone levels and other health conditions.
BHR is conducting the study with support from the American Brain Injury Consortium and the European Brain Injury Consortium.

Woman jailed after hit-and-run fatality
KINGSTON An elderly gentleman was struck by a car and killed Thursday evening while walking along Jefferson Point Road. The man, whose name is being withheld upon notification of next of kin, was walking northbound when he was hit by a white 1990 four-door Geo Prizm, which was also traveling northbound, according to Kitsap County Sheriffs Office spokesperson Scott Wilson.
Traffic investigators believe the man was out for a walk as he was dressed in cold-weather clothing and carrying a water bottle. His age is estimated to be 80-85, Wilson said. The man was pronounced dead on the scene.
The 911 dispatch center received several calls regarding the accident and sent traffic investigators to the scene. Before they arrived, an off-duty nurse, whose name was not released, reportedly stopped to offer assistance to the victim.
Based on everything, it looked like the man was walking in the roadway, even though he was found on the shoulder, Wilson said. After the impact, the vehicle stopped, backed up and left again at a high rate of speed, Wilson said.
A group of traffic accident investigators gathered what Wilson called substantial evidence at the scene.
Investigators didnt have to wait long to piece together what happened.
There was a major break in the case, when a third party came into the Kingston office and said I think Ive been in a serious accident, Wilson said.
That third party was a 39-year-old woman officials now believe was behind the wheel of the Prizm. Sheriffs deputies located her car parked off Miller Bay Road between Indianola Road and Arness Sand Pit, Wilson said.
During the course of questioning, she requested an attorney. She was to make a court appearance at 3 p.m. Friday on charges of a fatality hit and run. As of press time, she was being held on $25,000 bail.
