Cleanup Status
- Corrective Action Status:
Complete Without Controls Human Exposure Controlled:
- Ground Water Controlled:
The final decision of Complete without Controls became effective November 27, 2012 after a 30-day public comment period. No further action is required to make the Liberty Pultrusions property suitable for any type of land use.
An Environmental Indicator (EI) inspection was conducted at the Liberty Pultrusions facility (Facility) in November 2008 to determine if human exposures to contamination and migration of contaminated groundwater are under control. Several solid waste management units (SWMU) were observed in the inspection, none of which appeared to have issues of hazardous waste contamination. Prior remedial activities at the Facility included the removal in 1987 of two 10,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST) that were presumably used for heating oil. Approximately 22 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed from the area of UST excavation. EPA performed a sampling effort in this area in August 2012 that showed no contamination in soil or groundwater above levels considered protective of unrestricted use. As a result, EPA determined that both EIs were met at the facility in October 2012.
The 4.76-acre Liberty Pultrusions facility is located in a mixed residential and industrial area off of Lebanon School Road approximately ¼ mile west of the Monongahela River. The Facility manufactures fiberglass-reinforced rods and tubes. From 1960 to 1987 the Facility was owned by several electrical companies. From 1987 to the present the Facility has manufactured various fiberglass-reinforced shapes, primarily long rods and tubes that easily lend themselves to the pultrusion process.
Contaminants and Risks
The primary hazardous waste generated at the facility is waste acetone, which is used in the manufacturing and cleaning process; however, there is no evidence that suggests that spills or releases of acetone have occurred at the facility. Soil contaminated with lubricating oil was discovered during the removal of two 10,000-gallon underground storage tanks in 1987, and approximately 22 cubic yards of impacted soil was removed. Results from soil and groundwater sampling performed by EPA in this area in August 2012 suggest that no contamination above protective levels remains at the facility

Big kudos to Big Boulder in Pennsylvania, which opened this weekend. Yeah, the coverage is probably pretty sparse, but the good news is it's too warm for icy conditions!
Seriously, you have to admire the passion.
Still no snow-making at Boyne Mountain, which has me a little bummed. Only a dusting of snow at The Canyons as well, which doesn't bode well considering I'm hoping to get in a few days there in early December. A month is a long time, but I'd like to see snow on both fronts.
Great week for ski news across the nation, as everyone enters serious gear-up mode for this season. In an era when it seems like most newspapers have reduced skiing coverage to either a single season preview story by a freelancer, or a quick-hit "it's ski season" story from The Associated Press, the Kansas City Star separated itself from the pack in a big, big way with its season ski preview today.
The Star weighed in with a nice historical overview of the development of skiing in America, sidebars on some family-oriented areas, guide tips, and the rise of intermediate-to-expert camps, columns on women's-only camps and the simple love of skiing, as well as a really nifty flash page that gives info many Western destination resorts.
The stories are very well-done, well-written and full of the kind of useful, mainstream info that a family thinking of a first-time trip out West could use. There are also two downloadable PDF charts with more info, but you can find those by going to the first story.
The Miami Herald goes the wire route, but has a good package. There's a nice write up from UPI wire service on Red Mountain, in British Columbia, along with accompanying travel tips. Mrs. Carty is planning a trip to Kirsty Exner's women's ski camp this January, if we can ever get our acts together and book it. The Herald also has the AP's take on powder-rich Japan, which given the falling dollar will probably require you taking out both a second and third mortgage.
Dave Cox, ski correspondent for the Daily Breeze in Torrance, CA, checks in with a comprehensive look at Mammoth Mountain's first season and future plans under new owner Starwood Capital.
Then there's Utah, where a developer wants to build a new resort and call it "Aspen, Utah," which strikes me as something similar to building a "Hollywood, Arkansas." This item is almost guaranteed to earn "release the marmots" status in Ski Magazine.

Administrative History
George Cyril Allen (1900-1982), economist, was educated at King Henry VIII School, Coventry and then attended the University of Birmingham where he was a student in the Faculty of Commerce. Allen obtained a BCom in 1921 and was awarded MCom in 1922, for which his thesis, The history of an 18th century combination in the copper mining industry, was the first sign of his lifelong interest in the economics of industry. He was subsequently awarded his PhD in 1928 for his thesis on 'The industrial development of Birmingham and the Black Country, 1860-1914'. Allen was influenced during his time at the University by the economic historian Sir William Ashley.
He married Eleanora Cameron McKinlay Shanks, also a student of the University of Birmingham. She was awarded a BA in German in 1921.

Rob Portman gets a presidential plug. Ed FitzGerald, Matt Borges and Chris Redfern get the MSNBC treatment. And Frank Jackson goes to Washington. Here is today's Ohio Politics Roundup.
The best-equipped Republican candidate for president might be right under our noses in the Buckeye State, and he's not necessarily Gov. John Kasich. Or so argues Larry Sabato, the political scientist and prognosticator, in a new piece for Politico Magazine.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman – remember him? – was a vice-presidential prospect in 2012.
Then, about a year ago, Portman came out publicly in favor of same-sex marriage, revealing that his son, Will, is gay. The reversal brought increased scrutiny from social conservatives. But, at least in these parts, there was a sense that Portman's change of heart might be just what a GOP struggling with diversity needed to win 2016.
Sabato apparently agrees. He writes:
But what about another approach—finding a nominee who doesn't just superficially demonstrate diversity but has taken a substantive, career-threatening position in standing up for diversity? Happy talk, campaign promises and speaking slots at national conventions are wholly inadequate if the goal is the remaking of the electorate. By contrast, a genuine profile in courage who has dramatically broken with GOP orthodoxy and demonstrated a capacity for growth can get the party a hearing, maybe more, with skeptical voters.
Enter Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. Portman attracted national attention in 2013 when he announced that his son, Will, an undergraduate student at Yale, was gay. Portman declared his support not just for his son but also for same-sex marriage. This happened before the key Supreme Court decision on gay marriage, and showed real family values, not the phony ones invoked by many politicians. Every political adviser on Portman's team must have warned him of the dangers: You could lose your seat in a primary, you'll be targeted by social conservatives, your national career will be over and your effectiveness even within the Senate will be circumscribed. It took guts to do what Portman did, with the political consequences unknown and potentially severe.
Bear in mind: Portman didn't even crack Sabato's latest Crystal Ball rankings of 2016 hopefuls, whereas Kasich was classified in the second tier and rising.
FitzGerald watch
New limits on early voting continues to be a big political issue in this statewide election year – not just in Ohio, but also on MSNBC, which has long taken an interest in the topic.
Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, the probable Democratic re-election challenger to Kasich this fall, appeared Monday evening on "All In with Chris Hayes." FitzGerald has called for new policy at the county level that would clash with new state laws and likely invite a legal fight with Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted.
Democrats believe restrictions on early voting, namely the elimination of evening and Sunday hours and new rules for mailing ballot requests, inconveniences working-class voters and minorities. Republicans stress a need for uniformity and cost controls.
Said FitzGerald on MSNBC: "How do you put a price tag on democracy?"
Watch the video:
FitzGerald wasn't the only Ohioan to tackle the early voting issue Monday on MSNBC. Earlier, on "Ronan Farrow Daily," Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern argued their cases in separate interviews.
Here's that segment:
Kasich watch
A new ad by the Republican Governors Association is raising eyebrows in Ohio, writes Joe Vardon of the Columbus Dispatch. In South Carolina, the RGA is bashing Vincent Sheheen, the Democratic challenger to GOP incumbent Nikki Haley, for supporting Medicaid expansion under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
Yep, that would be the same Medicaid expansion Kasich championed in Ohio.
No matter, for Kasich. Ohio's gubernatorial race remains in the "Lean Republican" column for Louis Jacobson at Governing Magazine. Jacobson writes: "Kasich is benefiting from an improving economy and has won some crosspartisan plaudits for implementing a Medicaid expansion under Obamacare."
Convention watch
Cleveland's business, civic and political leaders made their pitch Monday for the 2016 Republican National Convention. Mayor Frank Jackson led the delegation, reports Tom Beres of WKYC Channel 3.
Meanwhile, movie star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is backing Columbus' bid, writes Jack Torry of the Dispatch.
Jaime Fuller of the Washington Post offers some tidbits on Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and the five non-Ohio cities vying for the GOP convention.
And at his Smart Politics blog, University of Minnesota political scientist Eric Ostermeier explores the question of whether the GOP nominee can expect a boost in the convention's host state.
Down-ballot: Mike DeWine and Josh Mandel
Torry of the Dispatch reports on an unusual step taken by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, who is arguing that a state elections law violates the First Amendment.
And State Treasurer Josh Mandel is boasting of his office's third clean audit from State Auditor – and fellow Republican – Dave Yost.
Today in 2006
Lee Fisher, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor on Ted Strickland's ticket, urges tougher penalties and other updates to hate crimes legislation he sponsored as a state senator.
"We need to send a message in our society that when you commit a crime against someone because of the color of their skin or religion or ethnic heritage, you are not just committing a crime against that person," Fisher tells the Associated Press. "You are committing a crime against that entire community and society, and it deserves stiffer punishment."

Fans saved Bristol Palin from elimination on week 2 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars: All Stars" and sent former 'N Sync singer Joey Fatone packing.
On Monday night, judges had given Palin the lowest score of the night – an 18 out of a possible 30 – for a lackluster quickstep. In comparison, Fatone earned 22.5 points from judges. Eliminations were based on a combination of judges' scores and viewer votes. Viewers repeatedly bailed Palin out during Season 11 of "DWTS" when her routines failed to impress judges.
"I'm going to miss everyone... God bless you guys for your votes,' said Fatone, who previously competed during Season 4.
Fatone joins Pamela Anderson, who was eliminated on week 1 of Season 15.
The remaining 11 contestants are Palin, former Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan, Olympians Apolo Ohno and Shawn Johnson, former 98 Degrees member Drew Lachey, former Dallas Cowboy star Emmitt Smith, race car driver Helio Castroneves, soap star Kelly Monaco, TV personality Melissa Rycroft, "Cheers" star Kirstie Alley, and French actor Gilles Marini.

A storm is taking shape over the deep south and will bring those folks yet another punch of some southern snow. This storm will make it's move up the coast but will turn out to sea before it makes it's way into New England. It looks like another miss for us. We might see a few flurries on Wednesday but that's about it. After this storm scoots out to sea we should finally get a decent amount of sunshine back into the area. Temperatures will warm up too. Readings will likely run above normal as we head into the weekend and into early next week. It looks as though we could see a couple of day going over 50. Not bad, spring will be in the air!

Physics & Computer Science
Marek Wartak named Lauriers University Research Professor for 20052006
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 9/05
Dr. Marek Wartak, a physics and computer science professor, has been named Lauriers University Research Professor for 20052006. The award gives the recipient a $5,000 research grant and releases him or her from teaching and committee work for a year.
Wartak, who trained in solid-state technology and as an electronics engineer before earning a PhD in theoretical physics from the Technical University of Wroclaw (Poland), has been at Laurier since 1990.
Wartaks career has taken him as a visiting professor to several universities in Europe and North America, including Tampere University of Technology in Finland, the Technical Research Center of Finland, the University of California (Davis and Santa Barbara), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Sussex University in England.
He has also been a researcher with Bell-Northern Research and the National Research Council in Ottawa, a consultant in the private sector and a reviewer for National Research Council grant proposals.
The support to Wartak's research comes from several sources, including NSERC and SHARCNET.
SHARCNET is a consortium of colleges and universities, a "cluster of clusters" of high performance computers, linked by advanced fibre optics. Its unique computational infrastructure combines an active academic-industry partnership, enabling world-class computational research.
His CV lists almost 60 papers published in refereed journals, 15 papers published in refereed conference proceedings, half a dozen technical reports, more than 20 papers read at learned society association conferences.
I started my research career in passive photonic devices, like wave guides and switches with no amplification, he says, and also on high-power plasma.
On his arrival at Laurier 15 years ago, his research, in collaboration with the National Research Council and Bell-Northern Research, was in the field of semiconductor lasers.
He and his research group recently created the worlds first simulator of quantum well-based semiconductor lasers, based on microscopic principles, which is also able to simulate semiconductor nanostructures.
A quantum well is the region of a laser where the density of electrons is very high, resulting in increased lasing efficiency and reduced heat generation. Accurate modelling of new optical communication devices plays an important role in their development by shortening the design time for new products, says Wartak.
About six years ago, I started working on microscopic models based on the quantum Boltzmann equation. That equation, formulated by Ludwig Boltzmann (18441906), describes the time and spatial variation of the probability distribution and momentum of a single particle in an ideal gas. It is notoriously difficult to integrate and solve, but is of continued interest to theoretical physicists.
Now Im writing a book on simulations of semiconductor lasers, says Wartak. First you have to decide what system is needed and then you model it. Then you produce a grid to visualize your system, using equations for nodes. The whole process involves simulations. Companies (including aircraft and automobile designers, and weather forecasters) spend a lot of time doing simulations. Its a huge industry.
Wartak has many ideas for how to spend the next year.
I need to finish this book and there are two more in the process, he says.
He has plans to travel to California and Europe for conferences and to work on ongoing collaborations.
In his spare time, which appears to be in short supply, Wartak enjoys swimming, biking and reading quality world literature.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- A collapsed sewer sprung open a sinkhole on Almond Street that will shut down the block until Friday at the earliest.
City of Syracuse Department of Public Works Superintendent of Sewers and Streams Mark Ziolko said the DPW is hoping to begin work on the sinkhole between East Washington and East Fayette streets Friday.
A collapsed 24-inch brick sewer is to blame for the collapse, leaving a hole around three feet wide and 15 feet deep in the middle of the road.
If the DPW is unable to fix the sewer, a contractor may need to be called, which would likely extend the closure. This sinkhole was bigger than most he's seen, Ziolko said.
Ziolko said the sewer was built in 1892 and while an official cause for the sinkhole has not yet been established, he said normal wear and tear is the likely culprit.

Joshua Meyer, the Metairie plumber accused of inappropriately touching and photographing young boys in homes where he made service calls, has been arrested on new charges of fondling two children in his neighborhood.
The latest cases involve two boys, ages 8 and 9, and bring the number of Meyer's alleged victims to four. But investigators say more are likely out there.
"This case is going to continue for some time as investigators continue to review photographs and videos that were seized. It may even cross jurisdictional boundaries into neighboring cities," said Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the
The new charges came about after the parents of a 9 year-old boy who had spent considerable time at Meyer's home contacted detective Jason Rivarde, an arrest report said. The child disclosed that Meyer touched him while the two were playing in the backyard. In another instance, Meyer had the boy remove his clothing so he "didn't get dirty" while the two were washing a four-wheeler, the report said.
There were few details about the allegations concerning the 8-year-old boy. His father spoke with The Times-Picayune on Monday, but he is not being named to protect the identity of his son.
Choking back tears, the father said he had no clue what was happening at Meyer's house. The father said his son spent a fair amount of time there while he worked from home, figuring the boy was safe. The father confirmed that other children often played at the house.
But those frequent visits never raised any alarm because Meyer was the ideal neighbor who cheerfully lent a helping hand -- home repairs, yard work or a ride to the store -- to anyone who asked, the boy's father said.
"He really had us all fooled," the father said.
The father said he began to grow suspicious after news broke of Meyer's first arrest on June 4, for allegedly touching and photographing a 6-year-old boy in a Metairie home where he'd been sent to perform plumbing work. Detectives who searched Meyer's camera phone and computer after the arrest found images of a second victim, this time a nude 5-year-old from another house where he'd been sent on a job.
The 8-year-old's parents contacted the Sheriff's Office with their suspicions, and after talking with authorities, the boy admitted that Meyer had touched him inappropriately.
Meyer is now accused of indecent behavior with a juvenile and two counts of sexual battery. He was still being held Monday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna in lieu of a $575,000 bond.
That's little consolation to the 8-year-old's father, who is consumed with guilt.
"Now I feel responsible, like it's my fault," he said.
Anyone with information about Joshua Meyer is asked to call Rivarde at 504.364.5300 or Crimestoppers Inc. at 504.822.1111 or 877.903.7867.

The Hangover: Purple Monday Week 7 Edition
There's a cliche that runs through all of sports. Quite frankly, I'm actually kind of tired of this cliche, but if there was ever a recent poster child for it, the Ravens 37-34 OT win over the Buffalo Bills yesterday proved it to be true: that's why they don't play the game on paper. What should have been a relatively easy win for Baltimore (5-2) turned in to a nail biting, head scratching thriller at M&T Bank Stadium as the Bills (0-6) proved they have alligator blood pumping in their veins, and refused to go down quietly. Not only did they refuse to go down quietly, but at one point in the 2nd quarter, they held a 14 point (24-10) lead, a score that had I been watching the scores on the crawler I would have thought was a typo, meant to be the other way around.
A lot of things went well, and a lot of things went bad yesterday. It appears that the overwhelming sentiment throughout Charm City is "good thing we have a bye this week." I'm inclined to agree. Let's take a look, shall we?
Welcome Back, Kott…er…Reed.
Ravens FS Ed Reed wasted no time, and anybody who didn't know he was off the PUP and active yesterday learned very quickly as one of the most prolific playmakers in the NFL forced a fumble on an early kickoff return. By the end of the day, he added 2 picks off Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to his resume, padding his franchise record numbers in interceptions. He gave us a bit of a scare by limping off the field at one point, and heading back in the locker room, but within minutes he was back out on the field, back to return a kick. It wasn't all good news though. While Reed certainly has great natural instincts, he simply looked a step slower out there in general. Still, one step slower of Ed Reed is still way better than most, but it's something to keep an eye on for the rest of the season.
The Refs Forgot Their Laundry and Lost Their Whistles.
The officiating crew was one of the most lax I've seen in a while. I'm not criticizing them, however, because there were non-calls on both sides of the ball. They seemingly had a "let them play" type of mentality going on yesterday. This went beyond the usual missed holding calls. One instance that comes immediately to mind was the dagger to the Bills. Buffalo rookie TE Shawn Nelson was completely stood up— and while forward progress wasn't completely stopped, I've seen it called for less with— and no whistle. The play continued, and another prolific playmaker, LB Ray Lewis, muscled the ball out of Nelson's grip. The national CBS broadcast team of Don Criqui and Steve Beuerlein marveled at this for quite some time after the play, even going back to review it themselves to see if they could hear an obscured whistle, but alas, the officials had swallowed them. Speaking of the broadcast team:
What Game Are You Watching?
You can't always get the A-team for your Sunday afternoon games— there's plenty more going on after all. But man did Criqui and Beuerlein make me long for Ian Eagle, and not only because I chuckle every time I hear his name. I don't have a lot of room to talk when it comes to names, but his name sounds like "Iron Eagle." Anyway, these two were annoying me all afternoon with trite comments and analysis— and I understand that when a road underdog is making that much of a game out of it, that's the story— but the absolute clincher for me was when Ravens QB Joe Flacco threw to WR Anquan Boldin in the end zone, a pass heavily defended by Bills CB Reggie Corner. Beuerlein was insufferable as he harped on two points: 1) Boldin should have gotten offensive pass interference, and 2) Corner was not out of bounds. Now Steve, and correct me if I'm wrong (which, you know…I'm not), but didn't you actually play in the NFL? Were you a career backup because you never read the rules or something? Corner only had one foot in bounds. His other foot (and his backside), landed on Boldin. Another player isn't the ground. Secondly, while Boldin was all over Corner, if any flags went down, it should have been offsetting PI calls. Corner shoved Boldin with his right arm as the ball came in, boxing him out. Boldin may have been interfering with Corner, but he was only put in that position by Corner interfering with him in the first place. Try and watch the same game as the rest of us, okay?
The Larger They Come…
In one of the more bizarre sights, and the most frightening considering the shots he took last week, Ravens TE and corporate sponsor Todd Heap crumbled to the ground without being touched. It was almost as if a huge phantom M&T Bank Card came flying out of the sky to smack Heap in the head— after all, Heap has it…okay, I'll stop now. The reports from the bench said he had a shoulder stinger, and the medical staff were clearly working on his neck and shoulder area on the sideline. Meanwhile, in the booth, Beuerlein was trying his hardest to sound like a doctor after Heap went back on the field. Tip for you, Steve: you don't have an M.D., you shouldn't make proclamations about players health based upon "you could see it on his face, something was wrong." Maybe he farted. Maybe YOU farted. Maybe he was getting a headache listening to you. Whatever it was, leave the medical diagnosis to people more qualified. Either way, the phantom collapse, while scary, didn't stop Heap from scoring his second touchdown of the game.
Playing Scared?
The Ravens defense was, for the most part, completely shredded by the Bills passing game, giving up the most passing yards in a decade. I saw two things I believed to be going on that might explain this uncharacteristic showing by the defense. The first was a generally timid approach to pretty much everything. I believe this was fallout from the crackdown on helmet-to-helmet hits. Nobody seemed eager to fly into a situation untethered for fear of incidental contact lightening their wallets or costing them game time. I saw a lot of arm tackle attempts being made by players, and routes to ball carriers/receivers that seemed to indicate a desire for "less than full speed" contact. They eventually got more physical as a unit, but not completely so. And the secondary was made to look silly. Speaking of, that leads me to the second thing I saw…
You're Killing Me, Smalls!
CBs Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb (but mostly Washington), now hear this, you've got one job to do: cover your man. You guys were absolutely schooled in front of your hometown fans. However, part of me thinks you all may have seen why on several plays. Were you guys expecting to have safety help from over the top? I know Ed Reed is back, but trust me on this, guys… play like he isn't back. I'm fairly certain that on each of the first three TDs, I saw Reed floating over too late. Unfortunately, this isn't uncommon. Reed is not infallible, and he does sometimes get caught on the wrong side of the field. We've seen it lots of times. Don't expect safety help. Cover your man. I simply can't discount as coincidence the fact that when Reed returns, the secondary we all feared we had at the start of the season arrives.
If At First You Don't Succeed…
I'll give Ravens Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron this: he never gave up on his game plan yesterday. He was committed to the pass, was going to live and/or die by the pass, and he stayed with that game plan even when the ground game was gashing the Bills defense. And while head scratching and infuriating as it was, they did put up 37 (34 if you don't count OT) on the board. I have to wonder if Cameron decides to base his game plan on "King of the Mountain." He's not going to go after your weakness, he's going to go after your strength, and beat you that way. That's a gutsy way to game plan, and I'm pretty sure if I were John Harbaugh I'd tell him to stop doing that, but I'm not Harbaugh. Perhaps Cameron's more prescient than I would have given him credit for being. Maybe he saw this game turning in to shootout, and didn't want to bring his knives to the gunfight. But when your knives are shot out of guns like the Ravens running game seemed to be yesterday, maybe you should consider a little game plan adjusting.
The Bills Are Better Than Their Record
No, this isn't being a Ravens apologist. Why would I feel they need to apologize for the Ravens? No, this comes from simply watching them. They've got a lot of talent out there. Obviously the passing offense is prolific (even with our secondary issues, the Bills passing game has borne this out game after game). Their defense has the talent— they simply need to work on execution (a point they acknowledged as a team). If they execute better, get a couple of breaks going their way, they could be 3-3— maybe even 4-2. However, they don't play the games on paper…aw, C@&$ I used it, too…but hey, it makes a great bookend!
Enjoy the Monday Night game!

Peaches and Parkinson's – Working Together to Find a CureJune 21st, 2016 by Guest Blogger
Ontelaunee Orchards is among a growing list of companies that are actively supporting their employees in their effort to raise funds on behalf of the Unity Walk. Doug Nemeth is their Executive Vice President. He is living with Parkinson's disease and is a longstanding participant in the Unity Walk. Together, they've created "Peaches for Parkinson's." Read below for more details about their fundraiser.
This event highlights that you can raise funds for the Unity Walk all year round and those efforts don't need to be limited to the months of February through April.
We are grateful to Doug, Stacey and the owners of Ontelaunee Orchards for their support and wish them every success with their fundraiser. If you're in their area on August 13th, please make sure to stop by.
Helaine Isaacs
PUW Event Director
I mentioned in passing to Stacey Mullen that I would love to have a fundraiser of some kind in the orchard for the Parkinson's Unity Walk but thought it might be a challenge with our time limitations at work. At the time, I don't recall Stacey reacting at all but she heard me all right. Over the winter, she was working on preparations for the 2016 season. She presented her plans for a walk at our orchards to the owner of the company and he was on board! Once we had his support, we started getting excited about the possibilities. I have spent 37 years working for Ontelaunee Orchards and to be part of an event like this is exciting and humbling. I am so grateful. After eleven years of living with Parkinson's disease, work is becoming more challenging every day. Happenings like this fill me with optimism and strength. The first blossoms opened for the 2016 peach crop in late March. I believe they intend to do their part and are anxious to start growing. Peaches and Parkinson's has a ring to it. Don't you agree?
Doug Nemeth
Team Member, Team "Livin' La Levodopa"
Doug Nemeth was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease eleven years ago and he's been a longstanding member of the Parkinson's Unity Walk's Team "Livin' La Levodopa." Doug has been employed as Executive Vice President at Ontelaunee Orchards in Berks County, Pennsylvania for over 38 years. Doug's fundraising on behalf of the Unity Walk has mostly involved his reaching out to family and friends. In conversation a few months ago, he mentioned that he would like to create a local fundraiser in our community. That got me thinking – why not create a fundraiser at our orchard? I approached the owner of the orchard and he was immediately on board. This was the beginning of Peaches and Parkinson's!
Ontelaunee Orchards is one of the biggest and oldest orchards in Berks County, Pennsylvania. In the early 1920's the orchard was comprised of approximately 2,000 acres growing peaches, apples, and cherries. Today, the orchard is slightly smaller but growing a variety of fruits for "Pick Your Own"; apples, peaches, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and pumpkins. Today it's a great place to come with the family and make memories while picking fresh local fruit. We are located in Leesport, Pennsylvania and the scenery and views while picking is truly majestic!
During August, aka "prime peach time", Ontelaunee Orchards holds its annual Peach Festival where we highlight our PF 007 Peaches. These peaches are truly something! They are the biggest peaches you'll ever see! Every year we have the world's largest peach, but unfortunately we haven't been able to successfully document it. The peaches are about the size of a softball, some larger, some smaller.
This year Ontelaunee Orchards' Peach Festival has decided to combine forces with the Parkinson's Unity Walk. On Saturday, August 13th, starting at 10:00 am, the Orchard will host a Country Road Walk through the orchards. Participants in the walk will get a T-shirt, and a pre-paid bag to pick peaches along with their donation. After the walk, let the festivities begin! Stay for some BBQ, shop at the local craft vendors and listen to some live music! We've also approached local companies in our community and several have already signed on to serve as a sponsor of this fundraising event.
Doug believes that resilience is one of the factors that contribute to living well with the disease and he continues to capably and confidently run our company. We are grateful for this opportunity to support Doug in his efforts to raise funds for Parkinson's research.
Please join us on August 13th, to help find a cure for Parkinson's with peaches!

Mission Statement:
Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or follow them on facebook.com/stjudeminnesota
Charity Description:
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, is one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases. St. Jude is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Children from all 50 states and from around the world have came through the doors of St. Jude for treatment, and thousands more around the world have benefited from their research. At St. Jude, they speed their research discoveries from their laboratories to patients and doctors everywhere, so one child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved worldwide. And no family ever pays St. Jude for anything.
Working together under one roof, St. Jude's physicians and scientists have pioneered treatments that have helped push the overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent when the hospital opened in 1962 to 80 percent today. The survival rate for the most common form of childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has risen from just 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today.
And St. Jude is also making a difference in the fight against other pediatric catastrophic diseases. In addition to childhood cancers, illnesses such as sickle cell disease, blood and bone disorders, genetic diseases, and pediatric HIV/AIDS are among those treated at St. Jude.
There is no place like St. Jude. A place where some of today's most renowned researchers are published and cited more often in high impact publications than any other private pediatric oncology research institution in America. A place where doctors send many of their sickest patients and toughest cases. A place where cutting-edge research and revolutionary discoveries happen every day. St. Jude's laboratories may not be in your communities, but their discoveries are.
Join our efforts to share the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital throughout all of Minnesota. For more information on local fundraising events and how to get more involved please visit facebook.com/stjudeminnesota

What color to choose?by Paul | 10/4/2016 5:12 pm
I have an 1890's oak roll top desk with an oak swivel chair from the early 1900's. I was sitting there one day and looking at my plastic blotter on my desk. It was coming apart at the seams. That gave me a reason to purchase the large Leather Pad. It is made so well that I will have this the rest of my life. The only problem was what color? I decided on the tobacco because that is the only color I choose when it comes to S/B products. But the black color was calling my name! Don't be afraid to buy this.

Kelly Gooch, 19, is hoping to become the second.
Gooch, along with more than 60 other contestants from around the state, is in Muskegon this week for the annual Miss Michigan Scholarship Pageant. The pageant, which will be at the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, will begin with preliminaries Thursday and Friday, June 13-14, before the finals take place Saturday, June 15.
"It's really hit me about a day ago that I'm about to have an opportunity of a lifetime," Gooch said Friday, June 7.
No matter how Gooch fares in the pageant, she said the amount of preparation she's put in over the past six months has her as ready as she can be.
"We really started preparing back in January," said Gooch, a current Jackson Community College student and future Michigan State University student, "but we've really started cracking down the past month or two."
Gooch has been working closely with former RoseQueen Scholarship Pageant Executive Director Christine LaRock Gorton, a former RoseQueen herself, and current Executive Director Lynda Waldron, also a veteran of pageants. Both Gorton and Waldron accompanied Gooch to Muskegon.
The preparation has included mock interviews with various groups. For example, her most-recent one was with the Toastmasters Jackson Trailblazers Community Club.
"It's been a lot of current event questions and other stuff that could be relevant," Gooch said.
Gooch is also close with 2011 RoseQueen Maegan Budd, who was a top-10 finisher at the 2012 Miss Michigan pageant.
"Maegan has been really helpful in what to pack," Gooch said. "You do a lot of activities and things throughout the week."
The 2013 RoseQueen Scholarship Pageant is scheduled for Aug. 17 at Jackson High School, meaning Gooch's time as RoseQueen is down to two months.
"I've been extremely busy, and it is a lot of stress," Gooch said, "but I always take into account that very few people get to do this.
"I'm making the most of it."
Victoria Lynn Fair won the Miss Michigan Pageant in 1990 while holding the title of RoseQueen. Jackson County residents Kathy Lou Pennington and Coni Lyn Hull were former RoseQueens who went on to win Miss Michigan in 1982 and 1995, respectively, but did not do so while RoseQueen.
Gooch isn't the only Jackson County resident in Muskegon for a pageant, as Miss Jackson County Outstanding Teen Kaitlin Hagerty will compete in the statewide teen pageant, which is Tuesday and Wednesday.

NEW BRUNSWICK — A 19-year-old New Brunswick man was wounded in the ankle and the wrist in second of two drive-by shootings at the same location in the city within two hours.
The victim, who was not identified, was wounded at about 10:22 p.m. Wednesday when a gunman in a passing car fired at least five shots toward a house in the 300 block of Somerset Street, police Capt. Vincent Sabo said.
He said the victim was wounded in the wrist and ankle, and he was taken by a private car to the nearby Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. The wounds are not life-threatening, the captain said.
Shots also hit a car, the house on Somerset Street and a house around the corner at 2 Laurel Place, Sabo said.
Witnesses told police the gunman fired through the sun roof of a four-door car, and there may have been four other people in the vehicle.
Two hours earlier, police received reports of shots fired at the same location, Sabo said. He said officers received conflicting reports of that shooting, but one shell casing was recovered.

Look who's THRILLED today…
Posted November 13, 2009on:
Last week, I posted about society's (and particularly PR professionals) abuse of the term "we are thrilled." The internal response to my post was very positive. So due in part to my obsessive compulsive behavior, my distaste for hyperbole, and the need to generate recurring content for this blog, I've begun tracking the "we are thrilled" phenomena in earnest.
Periodically, I will highlight people who recently found they had something to be thrilled about (and said so). Mind you, I am not judging any of these people. What some of us find thrilling others may deem yawn-worthy or just plain absurd.
I do, however, believe that the expression "we are thrilled" is so overused as to have lost its meaning all together. As a result, we're left with either 1) truly thrilling moments, for which the emotional impact has been lost upon the audience, or 2) situations where the term "thrilled" just doesn't seem to fit at all. You can be the judge of which is which. Following are a few of the folks who were "thrilled" this week:
1) Shannon Schuyler, corporate responsibility leader for the Americas for PricewaterhouseCoopers is "thrilled to support MIND Research Institute and Girl Scouts of the USA in their innovative approaches to help youth become financially literate and strong citizens who can have a sustainable impact on communities."
See press release: http://bit.ly/4s5h8Q
2) Cherise McVicar, senior vice president, national promotions, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is "thrilled to be working with GEICO for the first time" because they at Disney "always felt that the fun Frog Prince from 'The Princess and the Frog' juxtaposed with GEICO's clever Gecko would be the perfect match for a television campaign."
See press release: http://bit.ly/1JDnB
3) Karen Bilowith, president of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital District (Albany, NY) is "thrilled" that her foundation has received $3.9 million from William P. and Susan Law Dake of Stewart's Shops.
See article here: http://bit.ly/2JwObv
4) Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org, an online advocacy organization that spearheaded the coalition BastaDobbs.com is "thrilled that Dobbs no longer has this legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate."
See article here: http://bit.ly/1ShU58
5) Gregg Spiridellis, co-founder and CEO of JibJab is "thrilled to partner with OfficeMax again this year to bring free ElfYourself eCards to a worldwide audience using JibJab's personalized media technology platform."
See press release here: http://bit.ly/3hC27w
Personally, I too was quite thrilled to learn that ElfYourself eCards were back and hopped right over to the site. This never gets old…

Creating our family
As this is my first blog, I feel the need to give some background on our situation. My husband and I have been actively trying to conceive. We knew there would be some type of a challenge. At age 13 I started my period and it was regular for 9 mo. I then started my period and it lasted for 3 months straight, I was only a freshman in high school.

Ugandans leave Oak Harbor for home
A group of Ugandan orphans recently spent the last leg of their six-month tour of the United States in Oak Harbor before traveling home.
The 18 children were part of the Watoto Children's Choir based in Kampala, Uganda.
"The children have lost one or both of their parents to war, famine or disease, namely AIDs," group leader Ivan Bisaso said.
The kids bonded with local church-goers after an Oak Harbor group constructed a house in a Watoto village last year.
"The people were so friendly. They live on little and they're so thankful," Billie Tull of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church said.
The Watoto choir was formed in 1994, and while they've made several stops in the U.S. over the years, along with other international travels, it was this group's first visit to North America. They toured the West Coast.
In early June, the kids performed for Oak Harbor church audiences and came back into town Monday for a final visit.
That evening, the children played soccer at Windjammer Park as the supervisors and church members barbecued burgers and hotdogs. The children were energetic, polite and spoke impressive English.
"It has been exciting for them to see the world," Bisaso said. "We travel so that the children can tell the stories of hope they've found."
In Uganda, the group is cared for by Watoto Childcare Ministries, which provides residential care for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Uganda was one of the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to experience the devastating impact of HIV/AIDs, and civil and political unrest in the early 1980s and late 1990s, led to the loss of thousands of lives.
According to U.N. statistics, about two million children in Uganda have lost their parents.
Watoto has established three villages, with about 240 homes, Bisaso said. In each home, a house mother cares for eight children.
Tull was surprised to discover a young girl she was sponsoring, Priscilla, was among the choir group. She currently sponsors five Watoto children on a month-to-month basis.
"I figured I could either buy more lattes or I could help a child with their future," Tull said.
Bisaso said the children thought Oak Harbor was beautiful. During their U.S. tour, they visited Lego Land, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and they saw snow for the first time in Arizona.
The children returned to Uganda on Wednesday. They stayed with local families during their Oak Harbor visit.
Both the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and the First United Methodist Church plan to return to Africa next year to build a medical clinic in Gulu, Uganda.

JACKSON, MI – Grass Lake native Kris Hitchcock continues to climb the country music ladder.
On Wednesday, Dec. 11, Hitchcock attended the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Foundation's annual awards gala in New York City, where he was presented with the Leon Brettler Award.
The award is given to an outstanding songwriter-performer who participates in the foundation's annual Songwriters' Workshop. Hitchcock was announced as this year's winner in October.
The workshop is designed to match some of Nashville's most promising songwriters with its most prominent publishers. Previous Leon Brettler Award winners include Lizzy McAvoy, Jenn Bostic and Jacob Davis.
"I was very surprised," Hitchcock said. "It's a pretty rigorous process they go through to pick it."
Hitchcock recently signed a multi-year booking deal with Ol' Boy Booking, a private company of ASCAP Nashville Creative Manager Ryan Beuschel, also a Michigan native.
Beuschel wants to help Hitchcock, who has spent the past few years touring Michigan and playing shows in Nashville, take the next step.
"After seeing one of Kris Hitchcock's high-energy shows, I knew I had to work with him," Beuschel said. "His talent, drive and determination are unmatched.
"It's only a matter of time before Kris is a household name, singing his country/rock-infused songs to legions of fans across the country."
Hitchcock and West Michigan-based band Small Town Son released a five-song EP titled "American Fire" on Nov. 27.
While 2013 has been a big year for Hitchcock, who played the Faster Horses Festival at Michigan International Speedway in July, 2014 could be even bigger. There are plans to grow Hitchcock's fan base to include other regions of the Midwest and become more of a featured act in his home state.
"We want to push beyond just playing clubs and doing covers in Michigan," Hitchcock said. "We want to move more into being a featured band that plays two-hour sets of original material."

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Go ahead and add "World Champion" to Alicia Brelsford Dana's lengthy list of personal achievements.
The Putney woman took first place, along with Poland's Renata Kaluza, at the 2014 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships in Greenville, S.C., on Monday. The two led the field of competitors in the Women's H3 Road Race with a time of 1:37:53, more than 7 seconds ahead of third-place finisher Karen Darke of Germany. The race consisted of five laps, covering a distance of 51 kilometers.
Brelsford Dana is the youngest of five children in her family and grew up cross-country skiing, beginning her competitive career when she was 5 years old.
She picked up bike racing when she was 14 and competed in nationals two years later.
But in 1986, when she was just 17, she suffered a fall which paralyzed her from the waist down.
Following her accident, she picked up wheelchair racing and competed in a handful of marathons. Then she discovered handcycles. In 2000, she powered her way across the country, from Washington to Vermont, to raise money and awareness for disability-related causes.
That experience encouraged her to take up competitive handcycling, and in her first season she defeated the reigning female champion in the sport, eventually making her way onto the U.S. Team and competing in Germany in the World Championships in 2001.
In 2002, she became pregnant and spent the next five years raising her daughter, Willa, in their home in Putney.
According to the 2014 UCI Para-Cycling World Championships website, "the event features individual time trial and road race disciplines for men, women and teams. Male and female athletes compete in categories related to defined disabilities, such as amputation/limb loss; blindness/visual impairment; spinal cord injury/wheelchair-users; (and) cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke."
During the event, which was held Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, "athletes compete in categorized events using bicycles adapted to his/her abilities: traditional or adapted bicycles, tandems, tricycles or hand-cycles."
This was the first time the World Championships had been held in the United States in 26 years, the last being 1998's paracycling event in Colorado Springs.
