Fulton, NY -- Judith Bonanni has seen many changes in her 35 years working at ARC of Oswego County.
And she's the first to say these changes have been good for her and for the developmentally disabled people she works with every day.
"The changes have given them a lot of opportunities they wouldn't have had," she said. "And for me, this has been a great experience. I'm comfortable here and I grew up here as a professional adult."
Bonanni is such a part of ARC of Oswego County that she was honored May 12 with the Dr. John Readling Award for 2011. The award is given annually to the person whose work has made a positive and significant difference in the lives of those with disabilities in Oswego County.
"Judy has a real love for the people we serve," said Lisa Clay, her supervisor. "She is always consumer focused and wants them to grown with dignity and achieve their highest level of independence and self fulfillment."
"The many people who nominated Judy recognized her as someone who truly cares for the individuals she works with," said Michael Scaries, chair of the ARC of Oswego County membership committee. "She is held in high regard as an advocate for individuals with a developmental disability and she has made a difference in the lives of many people with developmental disabilities throughout her many years of service at the ARC and Oswego Industries."
Bonanni has spent nearly all of her career giving developmentally disabled people a purpose in life through work. Most of her time is spent screening and testing clients who come to ARC to determine what type of job would be the best for them.
While she said she's shy outside the agency's Morrill Place building in Fulton, she is a bundle of exuberance when she's working with the clients. She even calls herself the "Oswego Industries Wal-Mart Greeter," as she is the first person to welcome a new person to the agency.
The field of helping folks with developmental disabilities wasn't even on the radar for Bonanni, 57, of Lysander, when she graduated Roman Catholic high school in Brooklyn in the early 1970s. She considered nursing, but tossed that idea aside after spending some time in a hospital.
A cousin persuaded her to go to the State University College of Oswego. She enrolled and majored in psychology. In her junior year, she took a course on "mental retardation," pointing out the first change realized in her years in the field. That term is no longer used.
She worked with school-aged children with developmental disabilities in a college campus school begun by none other than Dr. John Readling, after whom her award is named. In her senior year, she worked with the ARC's school-age classes.
"That's how I got my foot in the door," she said.
She graduated from Oswego State in 1975, a watershed year for the developmentally disabled. That year the federal government mandated they should as they were mandated tobe placed in public school classes.
"I went with the campus kids for the transition to BOCES," she said. "It was a great time. The parents knew that their child is benefiting from what all other children receive."
After a year with BOCES, Bonanni was hired at Oswego Industries and ARC of Oswego County. She was a production supervisor, helping match the developmentally disabled with jobs in the agency's workshop.
"There was the kitchen area, wood shop, doing newsletters, homemade products, sewing and we did work for Alcan and local tool shops," she said.
It was at this time that another huge change for developmentally disabled people occurred — most of the large institutions where they lived were being closed and they were moving home or into small group homes being built across the state.
"The exciting part I really enjoyed was seeing the people coming out of the institutions and coming to their homes," she said. But she knew these people now needed something to do.
"And in my mind, if you're an adult, you go to work," Bonanni said.
By 1977, Bonanni was a vocational evaluator at ARC of Oswego County, testing consumers as they came to the agency to match them with the right job for their skills and interests.
"I had to guide people to their maximum potential," she said. "I got to meet everybody. And I had the personality for it."
After a while, she worked also started not only getting clients situated with work in the agency's workshop but alsofinding employers in the community willing to hire developmentally disabled people. She lined up the employers and did pre-screening for the consumers before they were matched with the restaurants, hotels, grocery stories retail businesses or nursing homes in the county.
Over the years, she figures she has done thousands of assessments on consumers and matched them with thousands of jobs. She also has other "duties," such as serving as the picnic queen and Christmas cookie party queen at ARC. She also is the emcee for the Employee of the Month celebration.
Clay said Bonanni takes on more and more work and responsibility every year.
"She's embraced all responsibilities and the all the new tasks I've asked of her," Clay said. "She wants to continue to learn. She wants to continue to develop her skills in this field. She is the embodiment of who we are and what we do."
And Bonanni said she has enjoyed every minute of her time at ARC. She enjoys her co-workers, her duties and most of all, the consumers.
"I always thought I had the best job in the place," she said.

From The Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans plan legislation to cut small business taxes by 20 percent, a GOP leader said Wednesday, as the party stepped up its election-year competition with President Barack Obama over who is doing the most to create jobs.
The tax cut would apply to every business with fewer than 500 employees, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said in a memo released to reporters. The bill will be introduced next month, and an aide said no decisions had been made about its price tag, how long the tax reduction would last and other details.
Cantor announced the proposal a day after Obama said lawmakers should quickly enact his own menu of tax breaks for small businesses, including some GOP-written measures that have already started moving in Congress.
Illustrating the political stakes involved, Cantor emphasized that the GOP proposal would help small businesses "retain and create new jobs" and set a symbolic goal of approving the bill by mid-April, when federal income taxes are due. "I hope every Democrat will join us in passing the small business tax cut by April 15," he said.
The dueling proposals let each party show it is trying to help an important constituency that is also popular with voters. Any eventual bipartisan agreement would also help them demonstrate that they are capable of cooperation, at a time when polls show the voters have record low opinions of lawmakers.
With the economy still in the doldrums and looming as the top issue in November's elections, Republicans have long embraced a broad tax-cutting agenda. It includes reducing the top income tax rates paid by individuals and businesses from their current 35 percent to 25 percent.
In the 2013 budget he will unveil this month, Obama plans to include a series of small business proposals, including some that the GOP has started pushing through Congress. He wants to eliminate capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses and extend for another year the ability of all businesses to immediately deduct their costs for purchasing equipment and software. He is also pushing a new 10 percent tax credit for small businesses that hire additional people or boost wages this year.
Republicans have long charged that Obama's efforts to rebuild the economy, including the 2009 economic stimulus, have failed. On Wednesday, Cantor noted that several Obama proposals are GOP ideas. "We've been asking the president to join us to help small businesses, so we're very excited about that and hopefully we can get something done," he said of the president's proposal.

Syracuse, NY -- A Syracuse man was arrested after police said they found $17,000 of crack cocaine in his car late Thursday night.
Lamar Dorsey, 40, of 816 Kirkpatrick St., was charged with two counts of felony criminal possession of a controlled substance, as well as misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said. He was given tickets charging unlicensed operation and passing a red light.
Sgt. Gary Bulinski provided the following details of the incident:
Officers John Nye and Taras Senenko were patrolling about 11:20 p.m. in the 800 block of Midland Avenue when they saw a 2013 Dodge Avenger pass a red light at West Kennedy Street.
They stopped the vehicle and found Dorsey had a suspended license and a warrant on a charge of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Dorsey struggled briefly with officers before being arrested.
Officers said he had more than six ounces of crack cocaine at the time of his arrest.

My former co-host at WRNX days and favorite radio DJ, Dave Sears, responded to my bee plea. And while he didn't have any helpful tips, he did bring some levity to the situation which is always welcome when dealing with HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of bees.
Dave keeps me up to date with the "strange but true animal stories" in the news. He's like Bacon's Clipping Service for hoarding. But today he gave me a custom version. From his E-mail:
HUNDREDS OF BEES REMOVED FROM WOMAN'S HOME, scream the headlines. "It apparently started when Ms. Flynn took in one stray bee, and then another, and as often happens in these cases, whether it's cats or dogs or bees or whatnot, things just spiralled out of control and pretty soon she was overwhelmed.
'There was honey all over the place. All over my car and porch and in my hair. Just sticky, sticky everywhere,' said one annoyed neighbor who wished to remain anonymous. 'And we were getting sick of the buzzing, too. Plus strange insects coming and going at all hours. You know, Kelsey's okay once you coax her out of her shy, retiring shell but I don't think she had proper apiary equipment and I'm surprised someone didn't intervene sooner.'"
My favorite part - "Plus strange insects coming and going at all hours." I imagine a dung beetle walking off my front porch pocketing a dime bag.

Rare Singing Dog Spotted in New Guinea?
Christine Dell'Amore, National Geographic
AP Photo
Feared extinct in its highlands habitat, the singing dog—whose name comes from its coyote-like howls—was last photographed in the wild 23 years ago.
At least 200 captive singing dogs live in zoos and as pets around the world, ancestors of a few wild dogs captured in the 1950s. But the animals—which resemble a domestic dog breed called the Shiba Inu—are severely inbred due to a lack of new genes.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The Binghamton Mets used eight walks and half a dozen hits to defeat the Portland Sea Dogs 6-2 Sunday afternoon at NYSEG Stadium. The B-Mets took the game wire-to-wire to secure their fifth win in the last seven games and their second straight series victory
Portland starter Stolmy Pimentel struggled from the beginning, walking Juan Lagares to start the game. He issued four free passes in the first five batters, forcing in a run with walk to Jefry Marte. The righty plunked Dustin Martin to force in another run and surrendered a two-run single to Juan Centeno. Pimentel was pulled after recording just one out, his shortest outing as a Sea Dog.
Sean Kazmar added to Binghamton's lead with a long home run off Caleb Clay in the second. Kazmar's blast, which landed in the rail yard beyond the left field wall, was his fourth of the season.
B-Mets starter Mark Cohoon took the five-run lead and breezed through the first five innings, allowing just one hit. Portland's biggest threat came in the sixth when Jackie Bradley Jr. launched a solo home run to start the inning. Cohoon bounced back by recording two outs, but could not close out the frame. The southpaw surrendered a pair of doubles, cutting Binghamton's lead to three.
A walk to Dan Butler and an infield single by Peter Hissey loaded the bases and ended Cohoon's day. With the tying run on first, Adrian Rosario entered and struck out Derrik Gibson on three pitches to end the inning.
Frank Francisco made his third rehab appearance and worked around a bunt single in a scoreless seventh.
Facing reliever Will Latimer in the seventh, the B-Mets took advantage of two more walks. With two aboard on a pair of free passes, Dustin Martin capped a terrific series with an RBI single to center. In four games against Portland, Martin went 7-for-11 with six RBI.
Ryan Fraser posted a shutout eighth and returned for the ninth. He hit Gibson to start the inning and struck out Ryan Dent before being lifted for C.J. Nitkowski. The southpaw struck out both lefties he faced on three pitches each to end the ballgame.
Cohoon (6-7) earned his third straight win, allowing two runs on five hits over 5.2 innings. Four B-Mets relievers combined to allow just two hits over 3.1 scoreless innings. Pimentel (4-5) suffered the loss, his fifth on the road this season.
The B-Mets (51-56) enjoy a day off on Monday before starting a three-game series against the Harrisburg Senators on Tuesday night at 6:35 PM. RHP Zack Wheeler gets the ball for Binghamton against RHP Paul Demny.

Featured video and audio clips on Ellis Hobbs brought to you by Boston's WEEI Sports Radio.
John, Gerry and Steve Buckley discuss Bill Belichick's evasive answers at day one of Patriots mandatory minicamp when pressed about where his 13 missing players are. Plus, the QB snap distribution.
With the NFL draft only a few days away, Mike and Chris preview how things are shaping for the Pats and the rest of the league.

It's likely that in the near future, most products we buy will include RFID.
RFID has grown beyond the mere tracking of inventory items and now has a far more pervasive presence where readers are embedded into products, giving them an intelligence that was unimaginable only a few years ago. In short, embedded RFID allows objects to interact with the digital world acting as a seamless part of a network. Embedded RFID applications can enable innovations in a wide range of industries including aerospace, chemical, hospitality, health care and retail.
We refer to embedded RFID as RFID as a feature because the RFID technology is not the primary purpose of the product, rather it enhances the product by allowing it to interact with tagged items such as consumables, parts, reagents, room keys, tickets, disposables, apparel and groceries.
For example, embedded RFID has enabled a new class of smart vending machines which increase ease of use for customers with cashless payment. This enhanced convenience drives increased revenue per purchase. Also, with RFID-tagged inventory, the vending machine can automatically manage its own inventory, ensuring it is always stocked.
RFID as a feature also has the potential to save millions of dollars annually by preventing counterfeiting. Counterfeiting has traditionally been one of the most significant sources of loss in many industries, but embedded RFID provides solutions for pharmaceuticals, entertainment, medical devices and retail by securing data exchanged between readers embedded in devices/machines and tagged items with which they come into contact.
Counterfeiting poses perhaps the greatest threat in the health care industry, where the downstream affects include decreased patient safety, insurance cost efficiency and provider reputations. RFID can be embedded into medical devices such as in urinalysis systems to authenticate reagents based on correct type and freshness.
In the retail industry, out-of-stock conditions average 8 percent across all product categories, soaring as high as 20 percent during a promotion. Traditional processes and systems are not accurate enough or timely enough to provide the manufacturer or distributor with the data needed to anticipate stock-outs. However, by embedding RFID into smart shelves, organizations can monitor and report the inventory levels of items on the display to manufacturers and distributors with predictions about when the last item will be removed.
These examples of industries in which RFID as a feature has been successfully deployed to ensure authentication, improve efficiency and drive sales, are just a precursor to what is sure to become a ubiquitous technology. Embedded RFID will surely increase in 2008.

"Stevie is not only one of the best high school players to ever play in the state of Oklahoma, but he is also an excellent student," Ford said. "He's one of the top guards in the country. He gets a lot of publicity for how he can score the basketball, but he is also a great passer and a great ball handler. He's a winner. His team has won three state championships, and are looking forward to trying to win a fourth."
Clark, a 5-11 point guard at Douglass High School in Oklahoma City, was named the 2012 Super Five Player of the Year by The Oklahoman as a junior. He averaged 25 points and 11 assists per game in leading the Trojans to a 24-3 record and a third-straight Class 4A state championship. He was also named the Class 4A state tournament Most Valuable player after scoring 40 points in a semifinal win over Cascia Hall and a 40-point outburst against Anadarko in the title game.
As a sophomore, Clark averaged 15.7 ppg and 3.4 steals per contest as the Trojans went 24-5. As a freshman, Clark averaged 14.6 points per game and connected on 81 three pointers en route to a perfect 29-0 record for OKC Douglass. He was named the Class 4A state tournament MVP that year as well.
"Stevie loves the game of basketball, and it shows in how he plays," said Ford. "He's going to fit perfectly into our system and how we play. I look forward to coaching Stevie every day, and feel like we've got one of the top players in the country joining our basketball family."
Clark, rated a four-star recruit by multiple recruiting services, is ranked as the No. 62 player in the country according to ESPN.com, and is a consensus top-100 player nationally. He chose Oklahoma State over a host of offers, including Baylor, Florida State, Missouri, UCLA, Marquette and Oklahoma.
Clark is joined in the 2013-14 recruiting class by wing Jeffrey Carroll, forward/center Gary Gaskins, forward Leyton Hammonds and combo guard Detrick Mostella.

MONTGOMERY — A proposed two-mile dirt trail that loops through most of the 247-acre Skillman Park could be open to the public by next spring, marking the debut of the former epileptics village in Montgomery as a county park, Somerset County officials said.
"It's purely just a conceptual plan at this point," said county planner Thomas Boccino, but a committee overseeing the property has made the trail a top priority. The proposed path would link pieces of existing trails on the park and connect several parking lots.
Construction will be limited, but new signs must be posted and parking improved, said Patricia Walsh, the county's freeholder director. According to a draft plan, three lots would be refurbished and one constructed.
Fencing will also be set up in certain sections to protect park users, but those areas are still being decided.
As for any plans beyond that, nothing is on the drawing board, Walsh said. "There's not anything out there right now that we want to do," she said.
Over the next several months, an advisory committee of county officials and Montgomery residents and leaders will continue to discuss what they can be added. But those future discussions, Walsh said, will only revolve around passive recreation, such as additional hiking trails.
The county, meanwhile, has been cleaning up the derelict property, bordered by Route 601 and Burnt Hill Road, of the plants and dead trees that had overtaken the property in the years it fell into disrepair.
The property opened in 1898 as a sanctuary for epileptics and continued as a state-owned psychiatric facility until 1998. Montgomery Township purchased the land in 2007 for $5.9 million, but sold it to the county last year for nearly $16 million to recoup environmental cleanup costs.
Additional details will be decided in September, when the advisory committee will meet next.

(February 18, 2011)
With a sustained push from his brother, Brian Keselowski finished fifth in Thursday's second Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying event and raced his way into Sunday's Daytona 500.
Since then, his phone hasn't stopped ringing.
Ray Evernham called with an offer to pick up Keselowski's tire bill for the weekend—a cool $10,000 or so. Keselowski is driving a 2006 Dodge Charger that Evernham built years ago, and he came to the track this weekend with one set of tires.
Penske Racing, which fields Sprint Cup cars for Keselowski's younger brother, Brad Keselowski, offered to supply a stronger engine for the No. 92 Dodge. Unlike other well-heeled teams, Keselowski doesn't have a fresh engine to put in the car for Sunday's race.
A complication is that Keselowski is running an older generation R5 engine. The new R6 power plant available from Penske requires, among other things, completely different motor mounts and an external fuel pump. According to Keselowski's father and crew chief, Bob Keselowski, the team might not be able to install the engine in time for Saturday's practice.
Keselowski also is working on a sponsorship deal with Golden Corral, which already had sent him a mockup of the paint scheme for Sunday's race.
"Honestly, I couldn't answer all the calls," Brian Keselowski said. "It's just been insane. By the time I got out of the media center and got dressed (after the race), I looked at my phone, and I had 50-something messages and text messages and phone calls. It's been crazy."
Bayne will not go to a backup car for 500
After a last-lap crash in Thursday's second Duel 150 qualifying race, Trevor Bayne assumed he'd be in a backup car for the 500.
A thorough examination of the car found no structural damage, and the Wood Brothers, who get their chassis from Roush Fenway Racing, decided to repair the No. 21 Ford rather than roll out a backup.
"We were standing there looking at it yesterday, and some of the guys in (Jack Roush's) fab shop that helped build the car to start with said they could fix it," Wood Brothers co-owner Len Wood said.
As a consequence, the team opted to sit out both Friday practice sessions while the car was repaired.
Sprint Cup practice doesn't draw a crowd
What if NASCAR scheduled a practice session and no one showed up?
The speedway wasn't empty during the two Sprint Cup practice sessions on Friday, but it was close.
Only 12 of the 43 cars qualified for the Daytona 500 participated in Friday's first practice session. Only 12 cars showed up for the second session, too, as teams were content to change to their Daytona 500 engines and work on their cars in the garage stalls, rather than risk calamity on the racetrack.
Many of the cars that took to the track were those that either weren't up to satisfactory speed in the Duels, were damaged in those races and subsequently repaired (as with Jeff Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet), or were backup cars (as with David Ragan's No. 6 Ford).
"We're sitting out (Friday's) practice completely," Kyle Busch said. "We're working on the car and doing our engine change and making sure everything is up to spec and tuned for the 500. We'll probably just go out for practice a little bit (Saturday) just to make sure the engine runs—it runs on all eight cylinders, and the spark plugs are good.
"That's about it. We'll get out there with one of our teammates most likely and push them around for a few laps and call it a day."
Bowyer wins pole for Nationwide race
Clint Bowyer will start on the pole Saturday when the Nationwide Series kicks off its 2011 season with the Drive4COPD 300 at Daytona.
Bowyer unseated Landon Cassill for the top spot Friday with his late-session lap of 180.821 mph. Cassill will start on the outside of the front row after his speed of 180.600 mph bumped Danica Patrick (180.480) from the top spot.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (180.592), eventually took the No. 3 starting position, dropping Patrick to fourth.
Two drivers failed to qualify, Brett Rowe and Jennifer Jo Cobb. The race is scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m. ET.

A thunderous applause filled a Bergen County church this morning where a Virginia Tech shooting victim was remembered and mourned.
It was a different end to a somber affair, a tear-filled memorial service for 20-year-old Matthew La Porte, who was gunned down April 16 during a campus shooting rampage. But it was a fitting celebration of his life, said Msgr. James Bouffard.
"That was a last minute suggestion" said Bouffard, pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Haworth, where La Porte was remembered by several hundred mourners at a Catholic mass. "I think the people responded immediately and everyone was standing and applauding for a good minute and a half."
Mourners sang hymns and prayed for La Porte, a Virginia Tech sophomore who lived in Dumont, a few blocks from the church. He was fatally shot April 16 while attending a French class in Norris Hall, one of gunman Seung-Hui Cho's 32 victims.
Bouffard opened the service by reading a speech La Porte wrote for his commencement two years ago at Carson Long Military Institute, a military high school he attended in New Bloomfield, Pa. In his own words, the years at Carson changed his life and character forever.
"He changed so much that I'm not sure that boy and I are the same person," La Porte wrote of himself and his years at the school.
To La Porte's parents, Joseph and Barbara, Bouffard said he'd thought "long and hard" about something to that would help ease their pain but essentially came up empty.
"I realize there is nothing I can say to answer why or try to make any sense out of a senseless act," he said. He praised the La Porte family for shunning a natural inclination for anger and retribution following a violent loss.
"I compliment you in offering us a model of faith," Bouffard told them.
The service was attended by La Porte's sister, Priscilla, as well as other relatives, friends and classmates. Sen Frank Lautenberg was among several elected officials at the church. La Porte's body will be buried in Virginia, where his parents plan to move after retirement, Bouffard said.
Six of La Porte's classmates, each an ROTC and band member at Virginia Tech like him, attended the service, skipping the first day of classes since the shooting to bid him a final goodbye.
"He would always put a smile on your face," said Cadet Elizabeth Fonseca of Arlington, Va. "It's really hard with him not being there, knowing that he won't be at practice or formation. It's difficult for all of us."
La Porte's Virginia Tech roommate, Cadet Nathan Boggs, said the service was a difficult one, knowing that La Porte's parents sat directly behind him.
"Even though we didn't have proper introductions, we knew exactly who each other was," said Boggs, a 21-year-old sophomore. "We just gave each other a hug."

So there's been quite the soda-related hullabaloo over in NYC. You may have heard about Mayor Bloomberg's proposal to ban the sale of jumbo-sized drinks in restaurants and movie theaters.
You may agree with that idea. Now if I'm going to be real, I don't drink soda, I have never given my kid soda and I don't even think you should be drinking soda. I mean, let's save our calories for something worthy like Tootsie Rolls, Bliss Cupcakes or extra cheese on your slice.
But, even though I think soda is basically poisonous liquefied sugar that will rot your teeth, your brain and probably eventually the majority of the Earth's land masses, leaving all of the mutant survivors adrift on rafts made of whatever food grade plastic material coats the inside of soda cans, I still wholeheartedly defend your right to choose to drink as much of the stuff as you choose to pour down your poor, tortured gullets.
It starts with something everyone can agree with. Cigarettes are gross and cause cancer, says so right on the pack. Clearly, banning poisonous smoke from manhandling the lungs of non-smokers is a solid plan. Which sets the stage for taxing tobacco, banning the sale of trans fats and limiting soda size.
What's next? Coffee? Limiting the number of sugar packets per cup? Outlawing king-sized candy bars? Shutting down kids asking for seconds at the dinner table? And riddle me this, Bloomberg. What happens when the kiddos buy two cans instead of one? Or when they come back 20 minutes later for a second?
My misspent youth landed me at the corner of Rehab Street and AA Avenue and I strongly believe that removing the substance does not eliminate the problem. You have to educate in a way that is going to stick to the ribs of the consumers. Give clear information, make it personal, give an alternative, make it fun. An old white guy on a soapbox is not fun, people. Nor is water an alternative.
I will give Bloomberg this -- he cares, he's trying to make a difference and he's out there doing something instead of whining and moaning about the choices of others. Well-intentioned or otherwise, I'm not looking for another parent. If it doesn't affect you then I'm going to ask you quite kindly to remove your hands from my soda can and get off my lawn.
The government should be an intricate and unobtrusive lattice, there to support the individual, to provide structure, to link us together while allowing for freedom and growth. That's what makes the premise of this fraught-with-potential country we've got going on here truly great. We get to decide what kind of music we listen to (even Nickelback), what god we kick it with, what we say and even something so seemingly insignificant as what we put into our bodies.

Gillard Govt Invests AU$224m To Treat Early Psychosis In Young Australians
The Gillard Government is investing AU$222.4 million to help young Australians experiencing early psychotic disorders.
Asian Scientist Newsroom | December 9, 2011 | Health
AsianScientist (Dec. 9, 2011) - Thousands of young Australians experiencing early psychosis, or psychotic disorders, are a step closer to accessing innovative new youth early psychosis services.
The Gillard Government is investing AU$222.4 million for the establishment of 16 new services and has formally invited State and Territories to partner with the Commonwealth by providing matching contributions.
"I have written to the States and Territories seeking expressions of interest for the first round of the national rollout of these 16 new services over the next 5 years," said Mr. Mark Butler, Minister for Mental Health and Aging.
Around three out of every 100 young Australians will experience a psychotic episode, Butler said, and they struggle to access scarce specialist services and often face lengthy delays between the first experience of symptoms, diagnosis, and specialist care.
"Intervening early allows young people to get the specialist clinical care they need and to stay in or resume education or employment, and better manage their illness – instead of leading to a lifetime of isolation," he said.
Together with the States and Territories, the Gillard Government will establish these new services in areas with a high incidence of youth mental health problems and where there is sound infrastructure and the capability to provide these services.
Once these services are up and running, young people will be able to access intensive clinical and non-clinical support including care in the home, case management, pharmacological and psychological treatments, and social and vocational recovery programs.
Each service will support up to 700 young people experiencing early or first episodes of psychosis with access to intensive support annually.
This expansion will be based on the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Center (EPPIC) model developed by former Australian of the Year Professor Patrick McGorry.

HOLYOKE – The St. Patrick's Committee of Holyoke has selected author and Pittsfield resident Kevin O'Hara as the 2012 John Fitzgerald Kennedy Award recipient.
The award is presented annually to an American of Irish decent who has distinguished themselves in their chosen profession.
"He has everything we are looking for in a recipient. He is a writer, a traveler, a veteran. We are so honored to give him this award," said Raymond H. Feyre, who announced the award at the Elks Lodge in Holyoke on Sunday.
Past recipients include Ambassador of Ireland Daniel M. Rooney, actress Maureen O'Hara and others.
O'Hara has written books including "Lucky Irish Lad," and Last of the Donkey Pilgrims."
"Our winner is a Vietnam Veteran, an acclaimed author and has spent a lot of time in Ireland," Feyre said.
O'Hara is a psychiatric nurse at Berkshire Medical Center and has two sons. He and his wife still live in Pittsfield.
Feyre said O'Hara will receive the aware on March 17 at the Delaney House.
O'Hara is the 55th recipient of the award. He will march in the parade in Holyoke on Sunday March 18.
"We have more than 420,000 people attend the parade and we are proud to say it is one of the best St. Patrick's Day parades in the country," Feyre said.
He said many award recipients including O'Hara will be around for the road race on Saturday as well as the parade on Sunday.
"It's a full weekend experience and we hope this year will give us great weather and a great time once again," he said.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took these images of Ceres during its 9-hour rotation.
The colors represent the differences between relatively red and blue regions. These differences may simply be due to variation on the surface among different types of material.
Astronomers enhanced the sharpness in these images to bring out features on Ceres' surface, including brighter and darker regions that could be asteroid impact features. The observations were made in visible and ultraviolet light between December 2003 and January 2004.

JACKSON — A man who allegedly brought a machete and other weapons to a dance recital at Jackson Memorial High School on Saturday was arrested, police said.
Lawrence P. Northrup, 53, of Manchester also had a a large folding knife, a small folding knife, a stun gun, metal knuckles and a container of pepper spray in his possession when police found him walking on Don Connor Boulevard, according to officials. He admitted he had just come from the school, police said.
He is charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of a weapon in a school.
School security guards notified police about a man behaving suspiciously at the school around 2 p.m. Police then located Northrup a short distance from the building.
While talking with Northrup, officers saw a holster protruding from the bottom of one of his pants legs, according to police. They then came across the two-foot machete concealed in a sheath secured to his leg under his pants, authorities said.
Northrup never made any threats while at the school and police said they haven't determined why he was there.
While being processed, police said Northrup tried to harm himself.
He was brought to an area hospital to be evaluated and treated.

Man climbs storm-ravaged roller coaster at NJ shore
Police have apprehended a man who climbed a roller coaster that was swept into the ocean during Superstorm Sandy and unfurled an American flag. [ VIDEO ]
The man walked from the top of the coaster and hopped into a police boat Tuesday. He was handcuffed, walked through the surf and escorted to a police car on the beach in Seaside Heights, N.J.
Christopher Angelo told News 12-New Jersey he wanted to raise awareness for shore recovery.
His mother said the 38-year-old lives at his grandmother's home in Lavallette. Diane Angelo said her son is a bit of a daredevil.
The remnants of the Jet Star Roller Coaster have become one of the iconic images of the storm.

Patrice Bergeron suffers 'moderate concussion' in Tuesday's Bruins game
Bruins' center collided with Ottawa's Colin Greening
Bruins' center Patrice Bergeron suffered a "moderate concussion" in Tuesday night's game against the Ottawa Senators, the team confirmed.
Bergeron left the game after colliding with Ottawa's Colin Greening early in the second period.
Coach Claude Julien gave an update on Bergeron's condition late Thursday.
"He suffered a concussion described as moderate. I talked to him. He was in very good spirits and out walking today. He was annoyed by it," Julien said.
Bergeron said his neck was a little sore.
"We told him we'd work together in getting him back," Julien said.
"He's a player that plays a big role on our team," Bruins captain Zdeno Chara told ESPN. "He's obviously one of our best players every night, so he was missed since he left the game."

Kristen Stewart is already known for playing one iconic literary figure, the vampire-loving Bella Swan in "The Twilight Saga." Now she's taking on the role of an even more famous heroine in "Snow White and the Huntsman," playing the lovely lady whose skin is the color of that frozen stuff that falls from the sky.
This is no ordinary retelling of the classic fairy tale. From our bedtime stories, we don't remember Snow White wielding a sword and leading a revolution against the evil queen; but Stewart's Snow isn't one to bite an apple and just lie down quietly.
Obviously, Stewart's got this "damsel not in distress" thing in the bag.
What other fairy tale characters could she turn into kickass heroines?

Chris Snee had never had a concussion before in his career. His only reference points had been headaches. So when he suffered a concussion in the Week 5 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, the symptoms were all new for the Giants' right guard.
Having watched the film enough times, Snee remembers what happened. He took a hit early on in the game that was the initial shock. He then took another hit later on that proved to be the tipping point. He remembers almost falling over and grabbing onto a referee for leverage.
"It was scary to think that you're going to pass out on the field," he said. "The headaches and the week of fog that I was in was not fun. But I got cleared and I'm ready to go again."
Snee returned to practice yesterday for the first time since that game. He passed his concussion tests last week and has been headache free for a week. The concussion that left him too unfit to drive home after the game — needing to take an ambulance afterward — also forced the Giants to scramble their offensive line again for the following week against Buffalo.
Now, rested and back to health after a bye week, the Giants have regained something that has been unfamiliar to them as of late: an offensive line in place with all five starters. And just in time as the Miami Dolphins come in fresh off a seven-sack performance Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
"It'll be a good thing," said coach Tom Coughlin, also Snee's father-in-law.
Continuity on the offensive line has not be easy to achieve for the Giants. The shortened offseason meant center David Baas was signed in late July. That gave less time to mesh a unit that also was impacted by David Diehl's move inside from left tackle to left guard and Will Beatty's insertion at left tackle.
Baas then went down midway through the Week 4 victory against the Cardinals. When he returned for the Buffalo game, Snee was out. Kevin Boothe filled in for each in successive weeks. Now the line is happy to be back together.
Snee is "a key part of our offensive line," Baas said. "Give credit to Boothe, he's done a tremendous job stepping in there whether he was called to play center or guard. He does a great job every time he's in there. But, of course, we love having Snee back in there."
The results so far for the unit have been varied. Eli Manning is having one of the best years of his career, and the line has given up 14 sacks, which is middle of the pack in the league. The rushing game, however, has been stymied. The Giants are second-to-last in the NFL with 3.3 yards per carry and are third-to-last in the league in yards per game (90.2). There was an upward tick in their last game as Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns.
Just because the offensive line is all in place again does not mean that it will be simple to just jump back into the fray.
"It's a constant process, it really is," Baas said. "Especially because guys have been here forever, you just can't jump in and expect everything to be perfect. The only thing you can do is get a little better each week and I feel like we're doing that. Buffalo was just a step. Not what we can do, we can do better than that. The biggest thing is the more and more we get to work together, the better we can get. Getting Chris back, we can work together."

Editor's note -- There are a lot of reasons the Crescent City Classic is a popular race. So now that the countdown is on for the April 23 race, we're going to be posting some first-person stories from people who enjoy participating in the event -- runners, walkers, volunteers, anyone. We want you to tell your story.
When I'm angry or stressed, or if I'm facing a deadline for a story that I have no idea how to organize, I've often found that things get much better if I pull on my running gear and hit the streets for a couple of miles.
I was ready for that kind of run in the 1993 Crescent City Classic because a colleague who had been a close friend since college had died the day before. I felt terrible about it, but I wasn't about to sit home and mope and feel even sadder.
So off I went to the French Quarter under what any sane person would regard as terrible conditions. The sky was black, and rain seemed likely to start pouring down at any moment.
Sure enough, the deluge began as we inched down Decatur Street toward the starting line near Jackson Square. Then came jagged streaks of lightning and rumbling thunder as we headed toward Audubon Park.
Bear in mind that, at 6-foot-6, I am always an obvious target for a lightning strike,
But as we ran in the rain beneath Prytania Street's oaken canopy, I really didn't think about the risk. I was having too good a time running through the anger I felt about my friend's death. It was a great emotional release to shout back at the thunder and make big splashes in the inevitable puddles. (It's not as if I were making others wet because we were all drenched.)
Yes, my sodden shoes and socks had absorbed enough water to feel as heavy as cinderblocks after a few miles, but I didn't care. This was the ultimate defiance of the parental rule against playing in the rain.
By the time I crossed the finish line, I knew I had had a good workout, physically and psychologically. What a wonderful catharsis that run was.

Only a few people have been allowed inside the workshop where Christian Youth Theater Vancouver is constructing its version of the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" car. Director Justin Parks will not be putting photographs of the magical automobile on the group's website or in the lobby during performances, starting Friday. He does not want any imagery of it to circulate in public, especially via social media. He even has instructed cast members not to leak images from rehearsals.
"The car is the star," he said, "and we want audiences to see it for the first time live, in the theater. ... If the Tall Man is walking around the carnival, why would you buy a ticket to see the Tall Man?"
Such Barnum-esque marketing strategies are part of the broad overhaul that Parks has been instituting this season in the area's Christian Youth Theater franchise, while taking a sabbatical from his post as executive artistic director of CYT Chicago, the biggest of the companies in the nationwide chain.
But the group's supporters dug in, and the 35-year-old Parks came back to help, taking over the vacant executive artistic director job on an interim basis.
"He has emphasized getting new families involved, and he just has a really good mind for getting the word out," said Bethany Larson, the company's area and marketing director.
Under Parks' leadership, the organization has gained several new sponsors while also raising nearly $20,000 for a new microphone system. Teachers within the program, which serves more than 400 students per session, have been given a raise from a base level of $10 an hour to $16 an hour, and CYT Vancouver recently paid off the last of its outside debt, about $80,000 worth, that it accumulated during the dark days of 2009.
In the fall, CYT Vancouver produced its second-best-attended show in company history, "The Little Mermaid," which attracted nearly 4,000 ticket buyers, or an average of about 370 per show. Larson said audiences are buying tickets for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" at a faster pace than that, and the production might even challenge the company's record holder, "High School Musical," which drew about 500 patrons per performance in 2008. In short, Larson said, "We're in a better position to be stable now."
Parks has directed 35 shows for CYT, including "Peter Pan" twice, "Beauty and the Beast" and many other large-scale musicals. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is the most complex production he has directed, "by far," he said, adding, "strobe lights, black lights, dry-ice machines. There is not one scene in the show that does not have a special effect."
The production is also the most expensive in CYT Vancouver history, he said, with a budget that will top $25,000, primarily pushed by the cost of creating the elaborate car. The London version of this show, which premiered in 2002, boasted what Guinness World Records later classified as the most expensive prop in stage history, with its car costing 750,000 pounds to produce. The story of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," first a book by Ian Fleming, then a 1968 movie, revolves around the adventures of an eccentric inventor, his children and the marvelous automobile.
Mark Martin, a Salmon Creek general contractor, had two of his three children, Aimee, 13, and Henry, 11, cast in the local production. In turn, he has spent more than 300 hours in his garage during the past few months adapting a converted golf-cart chassis into the main special effect. His budget: $3,000, a relatively frugal approach to the prop. Parks said he knows of another CYT company spending $7,000 on its car, and a separate theatrical organization in the region budgeting $12,000 just to rent a "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" vehicle from another company.
"The original car, in the movie, is a 25-foot-long Duesenberg, just a huge piece of equipment," Martin said. "I hope I don't divulge anything Justin wants to keep secret, but I modeled mine after the London car. It will have all of the same particular kinds of lamps, vents in the motor cover, a brass snake horn. Everything, just in a scaled-down version."
The 11-foot-long CYT car will "fly," he said, via a hydraulic lift system. The hardest part of that effect is not getting the car off the ground. It is getting the wing system to open and close smoothly, he said, adding, "Somehow, at the end of the scene, the wings have to go away and not draw attention" while the car is being rolled off stage.
"Every piece on that car is custom-made," Parks said. "We want people to see it in the finished state, firsthand, and, at the heart of this show, every scene has some sort of surprise. We want people to come see that, too."

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Fifty grand isn't a bad consolation prize.
That's what Huntsville's Kristin Morgan walks away with after finishing third in the "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions. The last of the iconic quiz show's two-game tourney finals was broadcast Feb. 26.
Chicago high school history teacher Colby Burnett proved to be a trivia force-of-nature and finished first in Tournament of Champions, netting $250,000. Charlotte, N.C. research chemist Keith Whitener took second place and its $100,000 prize. The tourney featured 15 prior "Jeopardy!" champs. Other competitors included an Oakland, Calif. real estate developer and West Islip, N.Y. bartender.
During the two-game finals, Morgan, a NASA strategic analyst by trade, correctly solved "Jeopardy!" clues related to "The X-Files," April Fool's Day, Mike Tyson, clouds, Brett Favre, Nelson Mandela, "Spenser: For Hire," Dylan Thomas and Batman antagonist The Penguin.
During between-round patter on the Feb. 26 finals broadcast, Morgan revealed Lady Luck helped her correctly answer her Tournament of Champions semi-finals Final Jeopardy question, which was from the category Classic Jazz.
"The evening before we flew out to L.A. for taping, we had gone out to eat in Nashville," Morgan, who is 36, said. "A little jazz combo was playing and my stepfather said, 'Do you know the name of that song?' Nope. 'It's 'Take Five,' by Dave Brubeck. It's a classic.' I bought him a bottle of Scotch."
To which "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek quipped, "You should have bought him a case."
In addition to her $50,000 Tournament of Champions third-place prize, Morgan, 36, rung up $69,098 during her six-game January "Jeopardy" run, which qualified her for the tourney, which began broadcasting Feb. 13.
Here are links to my interviews with Morgan, in which she discussed "Jeopardy!" strategies and behind-the-scenes details, what she's going to do with her prize money and how the Tournament of Champions experience differed from her prior appearances on the syndicated show, which airs locally on WAAY-TV.
